"This is Stone Castle City?"

Standing on the bank of a small river between the mountains two hundred miles away from Shanzhou, Yang Feng looked at a small city in the middle of the mountain on the east side and said.

This is Stone Castle City.

In the war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, one of the most bloody names, it is hard to imagine that such a small castle even needed 60,000 Tang troops, with tens of thousands of dead and wounded to finally capture, but the result in exchange was indeed worth it, because it completely blocked the road of Tubo out of Longyou, if it were not for the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty could have relied on Shibao City, along the route of the Qinghai-Tibet Highway to completely take the south of Qinghai Lake, and even continue to go deeper, advancing the dividing line between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo to Haixi.

But the Anshi Rebellion put an end to all possibilities.

"General Wang, the last general has a suggestion."

Yang Feng said to Wang Sili.

Because of the telescope and a set of cold-forged new-style Mingguang armor, he and Ge Shuhan deepened their relationship, so Li Siye and he swam to Qinghai Lake, and Ge Shuhan specially asked Wang Sili to accompany him.

"Captain Yang, please speak."

Wang Sili said with a smile.

"In fact, no matter how passive defense we have here, it's useless, we can't hurt Tubo, we have to smash their lair, otherwise no matter how many victories we win here, they still want to come out, we can only wait for them to fight, only by entering their lair and thoroughly cleaning can we solve this problem."

Yang Feng said.

"Captain Yang, everyone knows this, the first time you enter Tubo, this is the road, there are countless mountains and mountains along the way, and the steep terrain like Shibao City is not worth mentioning, and any obstacle along the way is far more than here, and secondly, the Tubo people can live in the land of Tubo, and outsiders will die even if they don't do anything if they go on a trip, let alone have to fight with the Tubo people."

Wang Sili said.

"What if there was a way to avoid such trouble?"

Yang Feng said.

"Do you want to talk about the way out of the Western Regions?"

Wang Sili asked.

Obviously, these Tang generals are relatively qualified, and he even knows the road to salt.

"No, no, that road is as difficult and dangerous, in fact, I can tell you, why do others go to Tubo to die for a lifetime, because their place is too high, if we take the sea as the starting point, our Mount Tai is already under our feet, and the place of Tubo is equivalent to three or four Mount Tai stacked up, so high that we people in low places will definitely not be able to adapt, this point cannot be changed. But we don't need to go this way, we can take a simpler, shorter, and even go straight to the capital of Tubo, although we also need to walk a plateau, but we don't need to walk thousands of miles, but hundreds of miles, and it's not so high, there are not many Tibetans in front of us, from here three thousand miles forward is all wild land, the Tubo people are in the south of this wild land, my road can go straight to its heart. ”

Yang Feng said.

"Are you kidding?"

Wang Sili said stunned.

"It's not a joke at all, it's just that there is a problem with this road, and this trouble is that we need to walk almost 15,000 miles by sea first."

Yang Feng said with a smile.

He wanted to lure Li Longji out to sea.

Tubo is a big trouble for the Tang Dynasty, on the contrary, the Western Regions is not worth mentioning, Li Longji doesn't care about the victory or defeat of Talas at all, because victory or defeat will not affect the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo is the real henchman, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo are larger in scale than the battle of Talas, so it is completely possible to use this to lure Li Longji to the sea.

Tell him to go to India to rob Bangladesh, and then go straight to the heart of Tibet from the Himalayas in Yadong.

This strategy is absolutely feasible, with the combat strength of the Indians, it is estimated that 10,000 Tang troops can easily seize Bengal, as long as a colony is established there, learn from the original British route into Tibet, Yadong to Lhasa is nothing more than three or four hundred kilometers, along the way is not very difficult to walk, and from Longyou to attack Tubo at least 2,000 kilometers of plateau and mountainous areas, which is not possible in this era.

And his route is possible.

Although this requires a lot of national effort, because it has to build a large number of sea vessels, and even requires more than ten years of preparation, many voyage trials, and preparation for subtropical plagues and so on.

However, this is not a problem for an empire, especially this empire is still the most powerful empire in the world, first of all, shipping, this route is not a problem, Du Huan is to take this route to return to China, the Tang Dynasty and Southeast Asia and even India trade has always existed, has been as far as the Middle East. The second environmental problem, of course, the army in the north can't do it, but don't forget that the Tang Dynasty also had a Lingnan envoy at this time, and the latter's jurisdiction even included northern Vietnam, where the army could be the first batch of expeditionary forces to go to India to grab colonies, as for the problem of ships, it was not a problem, and there was no pressure to build hundreds of ocean-going warships with the strength of the Tang Empire.

Of course, this is not for Wang Sili, or even Ge Shuhan, to decide.

Lao Li has the final say.

After returning to Shanzhou after the trip to Shibao, Yang Feng used this set to fool Ge Shuhan again, and then continued to reach Chang'an.

"The sunset is infinitely good, it's just near dusk!"

Outside the gate of Zhuma'an, Yang Feng looked at the glorious city in front of him with infinite emotion.

This is Datang Chang'an.

The most glorious cities in the world in this era, from distant Europe, to the archipelago of Southeast Asia, and even the coast of East Africa, as well as the Japanese kingdom on the sea, the whole world is known to come out of the wilderness of the country, all are singing its name, it is the center of the entire world civilization, but it is a pity......

"The heavenly street is full of the bones of the princess, and the inner library is burned into splendid ashes!"

He said like a god.

Immediately after he urged the horse, in Li Siye's surprised gaze forward, almost at the same time a team of Haonu rushed out of the door, surrounded by a gorgeous carriage in the middle, galloping on the loess road like the wind, the pedestrians on the side of the road panicked and avoided, and soon the leading Haonu came to front of them, and the leader just wanted to scold, but then Li Siye urged the horse to step forward, and he and Yang Feng's elite Anxi Army who had fought a hundred battles used their murderous aura to instantly deter these foreign strong and middle-class talents.

"What's going on?"

A lazy female voice rang out.

A bejeweled lady poked her head out of the carriage window.

"Mrs. Qiuguo!"

Li Siye said with his fists clenched on the horse.

"General Li is back, and the concubine is polite!"

Mrs. Yu Guo said with a smile.

Li Siye waved his hand to the back, and the soldiers and carriages immediately stepped aside, and those wealthy slaves rode their horses forward proudly, and Mrs. Qiuguo's carriage also started, and at the same time, the eyes of this beautiful lady swept over Yang Feng, smiled at him with interest, and then turned behind him. Behind him was Li Xiu's amazing four-wheeled carriage, although it was full of dust, but the chic shape was still eye-catching, she didn't notice that Yang Feng was showing her a mysterious smile, and at the same time, the middle finger of his right hand hidden next to the saddle flicked suddenly, and a copper coin fragment with a faint sound of breaking the air hit the minus organ of a horse pulling her luxurious carriage like a bullet.

The power of Yang Feng's ejection was more than a little stronger than that of a slingshot, and the unlucky horse stood up directly with a scream, and its front hooves hit the ground and galloped out instantly.

Mrs. Qiu Guo screamed.

Everyone around also screamed, and those house slaves hurriedly tried to stop them, but Yang Feng hit the head horse, and the horse's gallop drove the other three horses to gallop at the same time, and several house slaves were immediately knocked away, and the horses that were blocked by them turned around, dragging the carriage and the frightened and screaming Mrs. Qiu Guo on the carriage straight to a forest in front of them.

"Help!"

Li Siye took off the Mo knife without hesitation and shouted.

Before he could rush out, the culprit suddenly jumped up from his horse and landed on the carriage like lightning, instantly shattering the roof and landing in the carriage.

Almost at the same time, Li Siye rushed out, his crotch Dawan horse sprinted amazingly, and in a blink of an eye caught up with the carriage hand Mo knife raised and roared, the Mo knife cut down with a silver arc of light, the huge power in an exaggerated way, like cutting off a sugar cane, the head horse was cut off, with inertia half of the dead body immediately fell to the ground, like a brake with the other three horses, the carriage was forced to stop at the same time, because of inertia quickly lifted up from the rear of the car, at the moment of setting off Yang Feng held Mrs. Qiu Guo backwards and flew out, and then fell steadily.

"Madame, you are frightened!"

Yang Feng hugged Mrs. Qiu Guo with his strong arms, while staring into her eyes, and bowed his head in a magnetic voice.

Mrs. Qiu Guo looked at him dumbfounded.

Suddenly, a flush appeared on the face of this pretty widow who was known for her debauchery.

"Much, thank you, General!"

She whispered.

At the same time, she hurriedly left Yang Feng's arms.

"Madam, this horse is strangely surprised, and needs to be carefully checked!"

Li Siye walked up to her with a bloody Mo knife and said.

"Thank you, General Lee!"

Mrs. Yu Guo said obviously out of state.

"The despicable man has taken his leave!"

Li Siye nodded, and as he spoke, he and Yang Feng got on their horses separately, and led their convoy to Anyuan Gate in front, and Mrs. Qiu Guo looked at the direction of their departure a little blankly, and suddenly saw the young general turn his head and smile softly at her, and Mrs. Qiu Guo immediately lowered her head in a panic.

"Where do you live?"

Li Siye, who entered the city gate, asked Yang Feng.

"What do you mean, father-in-law, doesn't the son-in-law live in your house?"

Yang Feng said in amazement.

"Nonsense!"

Li Siye glared at him and said.

After speaking, he waved to his subordinates, those soldiers smiled and looked at the stupid Yang Feng and then hugged Li Xiu's carriage, followed Li Siye to leave Yang Feng and the others first, Li Xiu poked his head out of the carriage and waved goodbye to Yang Feng, poor Yang Feng had no choice but to find a place by himself. Fortunately, among the thirty-six subordinates he brought, two of them were from this Jingzhao Mansion, one of them was familiar with Chang'an, and quickly found an inn with the general to settle down, and then Yang Feng simply gave them a holiday, and one of them carried a bag of money to do what he liked, and he himself took the eight female slaves who came with him to go shopping.

As for the formalities of going to see Li Longji, he didn't need to worry about it, Li Siye would deal with it, he just had to wait for the summons.
