"Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain."

Su Dawei's gaze swept across the audience, and the people who were swept by his gaze were all awe-inspiring.

Including Xue Rengui, they were silent for a while.

"I can understand that everyone is desperate to raise the prestige of the Tang Dynasty and kill the Tubo people without leaving a piece of armor, but fighting is not child's play, more wins, less wins, I don't need to remind you of this."

Fingers lightly swiped on the map, Su Dawei continued: "The land of the Tang Dynasty fell into the hands of the Tubo people, and anyone will be angry, but as a general, you must not raise troops because of anger, you must know yourself and your enemy."

If you don't move, you will win. ”

Su Dawei's finger poked heavily at the position of Dafeichuan: "Now Xue Tingshi is standing in the position of Liangzhou Thorn History of the Tang Dynasty, watching Tuyuhun being swallowed up by the Tubo people, and watching King Tuyuhun and Princess Honghua die at the hands of the enemy."

Watching the fall of Shanzhou, I can understand Xue Tingshi's mood.

However, we currently have too little information.

What is the next goal of the Tibetans?

What is their strategic intent?

Where are their main forces?

Who is the manager?

How many Inhumans are there in the Tufan Army?

And, if we act, how many spies of the Tubo people are in this Liangzhou City, will the news leak out? ”

A series of questions, like a storm, made the generals speechless.

It's not that the generals don't know the art of war, and they don't know the severity.

But this way, especially after coming to Weiwu, I kept hearing the soldiers mention that the Tubo people invaded Tang Tu, killed Princess Honghua, and burned Shanzhou City.

With such hatred, how can you not be angry.

Now the whole army is holding their breath, wanting to avenge the blood hatred of the Tibetan people.

Su Dawei put his palm on the map, representing the location of Fu Qian City: "Our goal is not limited to the restoration of Tuyuhun, Your Majesty named Su Dingfang, the Duke of Xingguo, as the general manager of Luo Suo Dao, and the deputy governor of Anxi Dadu, thinking that what my former chief represented, everyone should understand."

The greatest purpose of today's military meeting is to share intelligence information and, after fully understanding our enemy, formulate a follow-up military strategy in light of local conditions. ”

After setting the tone of this military discussion, Su Dawei said to Xue Rengui: "Xue Tingshi, let's talk about the current situation of the Tubo army first." ”

Xue Rengui nodded, he had also calmed down from his emotional turmoil now.

Knowing that Fang Cai Su is doing is to let everyone vent their thoughts and emotions.

There is a way, morale can be boosted, but it cannot be discharged.

When the fighting spirit is raised, the fighting spirit of everyone will be condensed on the enemy in front of them.

"The Tubo people have 400,000 soldiers, of which they belong to the main army of Tubo Zampu, with 120,000 people, and the rest are the men and horses of various departments, including Boni, Zhangxiong, Bailanqiang, Tuyuhun, etc., a total of 150,000, and more than 100,000, which are the servant soldiers recruited by Tubo from Tianzhu and some small countries in the Western Regions."

Xue Rengui's words made a group of Tang Army generals who followed Su Dawei from afar fall into deep thought.

The main force of 120,000 represents 120,000 elite troops.

This figure is ten times more than that of the Tang Army on the front line of Wuwei.

Even if the strength of Xue Rengui and Su Dawei is combined, it is only 20,000 people.

As for the men and horses in the hands of Pei Xingjian and Su Dingfang, unless the Tang army does not have to take care of the Hexi Corridor and the important places in the military town, there will be more than enough defense and insufficient attack.

Wang Xuance said on the side: "The Tubo people have actually swelled to such an extent......

Li Bo coughed in the corner of the tent and asked, "What does Doctor Wang mean?" ”

He and Wang Xuance both joined as Su Dawei's marching counselor, that is, operational staff officers.

"Being able to recruit servants is a symbol of a great power, and being able to recruit Boni and Tianzhu means that Tibet has a strong penetration and control in the south."

Wang Xuance stretched out his hand and circled the territory of Ah San in later generations: "When I went to Tianzhu back then, I knew that there was a large plain here, and the rain was abundant and suitable for farming. ”

After speaking, he looked around and reached out to touch the thick beard under his chin: "To make an inappropriate analogy, the terrain of Tibet is extremely high, and it is surrounded by mountains and plateaus, they are like the Qin State during the Warring States Period, if the mountain pass is locked, if our army wants to attack, it must be attacked on the back, and it is not easy to overcome the environment such as ice and snow, mountains and cliffs, and extreme cold."

At the same time, in the Tibetan Plateau, there is also a kind of miasma, such as those of us who go to the Central Plains, often dizzy, faint, and even fall to the ground and die.

This environment also limited Tibet, making it unable to feed as many people as the Central Plains.

But once they master the land of Tianzhu, just like the Qin State has obtained the land of Shu, and the country of Tianfu is mastered, and the fertile fields are thousands of miles, not only can they feed more people, get richer resources, but also greatly improve their combat potential. ”

Wang Xuance's words have been taken seriously by everyone.

"Like the Qin State during the Warring States Period, if this is the case, Tubo will become extremely terrifying and cannot be taken lightly."

Xue Rengui held the horizontal knife on his waist with a solemn expression.

He was bold and courageous, fighting and invading like fire, but he was by no means a reckless general without brains.

Although it is not as good as the generals who are disciples of the aristocratic sectlords here, they have read so many military books and strategies, but they have heard the story of Daqin.

Before getting the land of Shu, Qin was only one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States.

After getting the country of abundance, Great Qin, it can be called the Qin of the tiger and wolf.

In the final analysis, in all wars, the final competition is national strength, and national strength must suppress the size of the population, food, resources, and productive forces.

Gao Chongwen said on the side: "I have heard of that kind of miasma, but I heard that some herbs can relieve miasma, but I don't know ......."

An Wensheng said: "This military doctor is prepared, since he left Chang'an, he has been collecting medicines to eliminate miasma, and now he has collected a lot, which can relieve the suffering of miasma." ”

Li Wei's eyes lit up, and he punched his palm: "If there is no miasma trouble, then I am not afraid of anything, as long as the former governor gives me 1,000 soldiers, the last general can lead the troops to explore the reality of the Tubo people first." ”

Cheng Wuting coughed on the side, and pulled Li Wei's armor with one hand underneath.

As a result, Li Wei didn't react, but glared at him: "What are you doing with my nail leaf?" ”

"Be quiet, listen to the manager."

Guo Zhifeng smiled slightly, and bowed his hand in the direction of Su Dawei with a smile.

The voices of the people in the tent quieted down a little.

Su Dawei thought in his heart, the so-called miasma should be altitude sickness.

Fortunately, before leaving, I had already asked Li Zhi for some medical officers, and I heard that there were still Sun Simiao's disciples inside.

He remembered that in later generations, altitude sickness was eliminated, and the better Chinese herbal medicine was called Rhodiola, and he didn't know if it was the same in this era.

Before leaving, I mentioned it to both the medical manager and An Wensheng, and after listening to what An Wensheng just said, I should have found it.

"Xue Tingshi, where is the current direction of the Tubo people's attack on us?"

Su Dawei's hand, from the Western Regions, to Pei Xingjian's defense area, crossed the Hexi River and passed through Su Dingfang's military area, and nodded in Wuwei: "If the Tubo people want to attack Tang, they can only be in this area, right?" But 400,000 people, scattered in such a vast place, is nothing, they must focus on one direction. ”

Below the map is the later Jiannan Road, that is, the Shuzhong region.

If the Tibetans wanted to pass through Shuzhong to attack the hinterland of Guanzhong, they had to climb over the mountains and march with difficulty.

The Tang army only used to lay out nodes and city defenses here, which was enough to give the Tubo people a headache.

Xue Rengui took off his helmet and tucked it under his armpit.

The sweat stains on his head had not dried, and as soon as he took off his helmet, a trace of white gas faintly rose on his black head and hair bun.

"This damn weather in the Western Regions."

Xue Rengui pursed his lips and said: "After the Tubo people annexed Tuyuhun, they used the Shanzhou fortification to defend it very tightly, and once marched to Wuwei, and then because I arrived in time with my troops, it was also thanks to Lou Shide and Wang Xiaojie's department that they were able to hold under the offensive of the Tubo people.

After that, the two sides had contacts with each other, but I felt that the offensive of the Tibetans was not as good as before.

Yesterday, I received a letter from Pei Daduhu, saying that Tubo was expanding its forces in Hexi, and Daduhu was quite worried. ”

"Hexi?"

Su Dawei and the generals' eyes were focused on the map.

The Hexi Corridor, from Wuwei to Jiuquan, Zhangye, Dunhuang, until the countries of the Western Regions, leads to the direction of Dashi, which is what later generations called the Silk Road, and it is also the passage of the Tang Dynasty to the Western Regions.

In addition to the continuous expansion to the surrounding areas and the absorption of the surrounding financial resources, the most important one of the riches of the Tang Dynasty is to continuously exchange the goods and civilizations of the Tang Dynasty with the West through the Silk Road, and constantly obtain wealth and novel skills.

Originally, the Tibetans could not reach out to the Hexi Corridor.

But when Tubo annexed Tuyuhun, it was different.

The territory and actual control area of Tibet have extended to the Hexi Corridor, which can threaten or even cut off the golden blood of the Tang Dynasty at any time.

Historically, when Tubo and the Tang Dynasty competed, the four towns of Anxi changed hands several times, and the Hexi Corridor became the focus of contention between the two sides.

Su Dawei's finger drew in the direction of Qiuzi, extending all the way to Guazhou.

"Hexi is a little dangerous, but there is a large number of protectors Pei Xingjian in charge, with his ability, I believe that the Tubo people will not be given too many opportunities, and I will write to Pei Duhu later to exchange information and ask about the war.

The line from Guazhou to Jiuquan and Zhangye is currently the head of the Su University.

However, the chief manager heard that the illness was not light, but he was afraid that he would not have the energy to do everything.

In addition, Guazhou is a distribution site for goods from east to west, and I heard that many military materials are piled up here in Anxi and other capitals, so it is necessary to guard against it. ”

Li Wei said at this time: "Chief, the defense of Guazhou should be strengthened, but there are no troops for a while, so it is better for you to send me to take a thousand horsemen to Guazhou......"

Before he finished his words, Cheng Wuting reached out to cover his mouth: "Shut up, listen to the manager." ”

Su Dawei glanced at Li Wei, and then said: "I will write to Chief Manager Su to confirm, if there is no fighter plane at the moment, I want to meet with Chief Manager first to discuss the next step." ”

The corps of this expedition to Tibet was a new reinforcement of Pei Xingjian, the capital of Anxi, and the ambassador of Anji, Dingfang and Su Dawei.

However, even if the three are combined, the number of soldiers who can fight is still less than 100,000.

And Pei Xingjian and Su Dingfang, both of them, have to guard a defensive area, and they can't move easily.

The only one who maneuvered was Su Dawei's new reinforcements.

Li Wei vigorously broke Cheng Wuting to cover his hand, and said to Su Dawei: "Chief, I don't know when the follow-up army will arrive, while we are new, the Tubo people are still unclear, why not send a team of men and horses to take the enemy by surprise, the soldiers are very fast." ”

As he spoke, Li Wei's eyes lit up with a burning light.

He has a natural desire to race the field.

Before Su Dawei could speak, he heard someone outside the tent shouting: "The chief and deputy chief of the Luo Dao have not given an order, and those who enter the army should be beheaded!" ”

The tent was opened, and a stream of cold air from the northwest plateau rushed into the military tent with wind and sand.
