Through the words of Gerry Rinzeng, Fan Lihua knew the thoughts of the Galqin Mausoleum, who believed that the Tang army would inevitably have serious altitude sickness when they came to the Tanggula Pass, after all, the altitude of the Tanggula Pass reached more than 5,000 meters, and it was the highest altitude place on the road that the Tang army must pass.

Altitude sickness is very terrible, can make a strong man with strong martial arts become a sick man who can't carry his shoulders and can't carry his hands, so Garqinling sent Ge Ren to lead an additional 50,000 troops here to wait for the Tang army, once the Tang army arrives, take the initiative to attack, and will definitely be able to beat the Tang army.

But Fan Lihua still can't understand that it stands to reason that gathering forces and resisting the Tang army with superior forces is the best combat policy, why? Because it's safe. However, the Garqin Mausoleum sent an army of 50,000 to take the initiative to attack, although the Tang army would have altitude sickness, but this was obviously a bit risky, and the Garqin Mausoleum was gambling.

Fan Lihua interrogated Geri Renzeng for a long time, and finally knew the current situation of Garqinling.

In fact, Li Hao and Fan Lihua did not fully guess the idea of the Galqin Mausoleum, because the current situation of the Galqin Mausoleum is not very smooth, he has been in power in Tubo this year, but there are always some people who disobey the yang and the yin, respect him on the surface, and often make small moves behind his back, and the people of Tubo also have a lot of complaints about him, after all, he is just a human minister, and he will naturally suffer from gossip, and the Garqin Mausoleum is very annoyed by this.

This time the Tang army was attacking, and he wanted to defeat the Tang army in order to establish his prestige in Tibet, and the best way was to take the initiative to attack and defeat the Tang army in one fell swoop.

Taking the initiative to attack is obviously a very risky move, after all, the Tang army has been invincible and invincible over the years, which has terrified all countries, and this time it is the Tang Dynasty military god Li Hao who has led the army, and he has suppressed Tubo in terms of momentum.

But Garqinling still decided to take a gamble, if the bet wins, it can easily resolve the crisis in Tibet, and he Garqinling will be prestigious, from now on in Tibet, who dares to question him! If he lost, although the loss was not small, the 50,000 troops would not put Tubo in a predicament, and besides, he felt that with the ability of the Tang army, it should be impossible to completely annihilate his 50,000 army. These are all the thoughts of the Garqin Mausoleum.

After interrogating Gerry Rinzeng, Fan Lihua asked Fan Shui and Feiying to take Geri Rinzeng away, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, Garqinling underestimated my Tang Dynasty's Qinghai Guard, Qinghai Guard's toughness, how could he imagine, what about altitude sickness, not to defeat his 50,000 army!" ”

As soon as she spoke, she got up and paced slowly in the tooth tent, and at the same time began to deduce the next battle situation in her mind, according to her thoughts, Garqinling experienced this defeat, explored the reality of the Tang army, and was shocked by the strength of the Tang Dynasty, and then he should not dare to act rashly, gathering troops is his only good strategy to resist the enemy, then, according to the strategic policy that she and Li Hao thought of at the beginning, it is right to implement it.

But for the sake of insurance, Fan Lihua still returned to the military case and began to write a war report, told Li Hao about the battle situation, and wrote her own conjectures and next battle plans.

After she wrote the battle report, she called the flying eagle and said, "Flying eagle, this is a war report for King Qiongnan, you send someone to send it to him." ”

"Yes!" The Flying Eagle stepped forward to take the battle report and respectfully retreated.

As soon as Feiying left, Fan Lihua called out again, "Where is Fan Shui?" ”

Fan Shui, who was guarding outside, hurriedly entered the tent and saluted: "Chief Administrator, what are your orders?" ”

Fan Lihua said: "Don't call me the chief manager, just call me the general, the general manager is King Qiongnan." ”

"Yes, General." Fan Shui's head.

Fan Lihua said: "You go and summon the marching commanders from all walks of life to come to my tent, and I will convey the latest battle orders." ”

"Yes!" Fan Shui withdrew from the dental tent.

Soon, the chief of the three-way march took his guards to Fan Lihua's tooth tent, and the three of them entered the tooth tent one after another.

Fan Lihua was fiddling with the sand table, and when she saw them coming in, she said, "Three generals, please come over." ”

The three of them came to the sand table, and Fan Lihua said: "Three, in today's battle, although our army has won, we must not be complacent because of this. ”

"Yes!" The three nodded in unison.

Fan Lihua continued: "After today's battle, Tubo should have found out the truth of our army, and then I am afraid that I will not dare to act rashly, gathering troops to defend some cities will be their best choice, when the entire Tubo forces gather in some cities, nearly 300,000 men and horses, if you want to conquer, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky, do you have a good strategy?" ”

The three of them looked at each other when they heard this, attacking the city, and it was a city defended by an army of 300,000 people.

Fan Lihua shook her head when she saw them, and said, "Since the three of them don't have a magic method, then I will say one, and that is to enter the house!" ”

"in the house?" Qin Huaiyu asked suspiciously, "General Fan, what is the entrance to the house?" ”

Qin Huaiyu naturally understands the word "entering the house", which means breaking into other people's homes and picking up other people's weapons to beat them, but Fan Lihua said here that he didn't understand what it meant.

Fan Lihua explained: "If Tubo gathers 300,000 troops in one place, with our troops, it will definitely not be able to resist it, and my method is to take away its grain and grass, and consume it, they have many people, and they naturally need more grain and grass, and they will eventually not be able to consume us." ”

Cheng Chubi asked: "Take the grain and grass of Tibet?" ”

"That's right." Fan Lihua said, "Although the climate in Tibet is harsh, not good at farming, but every year can also harvest a lot of barley, wheat, buckwheat and other agricultural things, and the greater agricultural work in Tubo is animal husbandry, specializing in yaks, camels, sheep, horses, etc., Tubo was founded not long ago, except for some cities, there are almost no cities, and the people mostly exist in the form of settlements or nomadic tribes, which is very similar to the Western Turks, and even inferior to the Western Turks, which is more convenient for us to plunder. ”

Qin Huaiyu frowned when he heard this: "General Fan, the war between the two countries will not cause disaster to the people, if you rob those Tubo people, will it violate the way of benevolence and righteousness." ”

"How can there be so much benevolence and righteousness to talk about in war!" Fan Lihua suddenly glared when she heard this, "Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself, if you don't do this, do you really want to fight against the 300,000 army of Tubo with the remaining army of more than 70,000?" ”

Qin Huaiyu lowered his head by his words, and said, "The subordinates know their mistakes, and General Fan has learned a lesson!" ”

Fan Lihua softened her tone and said, "Early tomorrow morning, you will each send a fine horseman, each team of five thousand people, to these three directions. She pointed to the three positions on the sand table, and continued, "There are many Tibetan people and large tribes of Tibet in these three directions, you can only plunder, not hurt people." ”

Cheng Chuliang asked: "What if they resist and use force against us?" ”

"Whoever dares to resist, shoot and kill!" Fan Lihua said, "As long as you don't resist, you will only plunder their grain and cattle, alpacas and horses, but remember, leave a little for them." ”

"How much to keep?" Qin Huaiyu asked.

Fan Lihua said: "Don't stay too much, as long as it's enough for them to hold out to some cities." ”

Hearing this, Qin Huaiyu's eyes lit up and said, "I know, General Fan wants to drive all those people and tribes to Luoqi City?" ”

"That's right!" Fan Lihua said, "Although there is a lot of strength in numbers, but there are many people and a lot of food, as long as we plunder their grain and cattle, alpacas and horses, they have no food, so they will naturally flee to the city of Luo, in this way, the population in the city will increase dramatically, plus the Garqin Tomb gathers troops and the number of people in the city, then the number of people in the city will reach a very high number, 500,000?" Or 700,000? In short, there is a lot of people, but there is no increase in food, so there will be a food shortage in the city. ”

"High! It's really high! Cheng Chubi was so excited when he heard this, "I drove those people to Luoqi City, it turned out that they were going to consume food." ”

"So to speak." Fan Lihua nodded.

Until now, Qin Huaiyu suddenly said: "It turns out that what General Fan said about entering the house is entering the room of Tubo and the grain of Tubo. ”

Cheng Chuliang said at this time: "If you only send three elite cavalry to dispatch, I'm afraid it will be a little dangerous, General Fan, have you told the chief manager about this?" ”

Fan Lihua nodded: "I have already sent someone to deliver a letter to the chief manager, and before leaving, the chief manager also discussed this method with me and thought it was feasible." ”

"Good!" Cheng Chuliang said, "Then the subordinates will go back to prepare later, and send five thousand elite horsemen to set off early tomorrow morning." ”

Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Chubi also said: "We also obey General Fan's orders!" ”

Fan Lihua nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, now I am not in a hurry to attack, only to plunder, Garqinling is not stupid, while gathering troops, I will also send people to various departments to collect grain and grass, we must rush to snatch the grain and grass in front of him, you should go back and prepare quickly." ”

"Yes!" The three of them took orders in unison and exited the tent.
