Chapter 322: Only the heart of charity cannot be destroyed (1)

In mid-June, Li Wei finally arrived in Shanzhou.

As soon as the front arrives, all the important generals are summoned together in the back and ordered the guards to hang up the large map of Qinghai.

Then he looked at Li Jinxing, and Li Jinxing nodded quietly. At first, Li Jinxing was very worried, but the imperial court's order did not dare to resist, and he really wanted to learn from Liu Rengui as if he was sick and returned to the court, but Liu Rengui had already sent him out and could not learn anymore. He sighed to his wife, and he was the only one of the important generals, but none of them had any objections. His wife could be a brave general. Later, Mulan didn't know what Mu Guying was, and she didn't know where Hua Mulan came from. However, his wife Liu fought against Nucheng. After a few years, the rebellious tribe of Martyr and the *** rebel tribe have been mentioned, but they are still disgraceful. Liu thought of an idea and brought his disciples from the tribe together.

In fact, if you do this, you will be prepared to be self-protection after a big defeat.

There is no way. Li Jinxing himself really wants to make achievements, but Li Jingxuan is here to make a fortune. If he doesn't do anything, he can lose 180,000 people in Qinghai. He doesn't want to be buried with him.

However, not long after, news came again that the court had changed the imperial edict and asked the prince to lead the army. The prince was still not relieved when he knew about it in the southwest battle. The group of civil officials in the court did not know, but he was a famous general. It was impossible not to know the difference between the battle between Qinghai and Yaozhou if the battle was fought.

But a little better, it is still not optimistic.

Not long after, he received a letter from the prince, and then he was happy. It seemed that the prince was not simple, and then he was having fun in the bed with his wife. At least it seemed that the prince was much stronger than Li Jingxuan. Then he occupied Shancheng and Huangshui. In fact, this was not right. Li Jingxuan was about to hand over the arrival of the city. Shancheng, Longzhi and Huangshui counties in Shanzhou were handed over to Li Jingxuan's jurisdiction. He could only take charge of Dahua and Michuan in Guzhou into three small counties. Li Jingxuan didn't know that Hu Sheng came to Shanzhou for transactions. Li Wei did not hide it, but only wrote a letter saying that it was a horse replacement, asking Li Jingxuan to let go all the way, without asking for cooperation, and not stop it. Li Jingxuan was a little unhappy, and Liu Rengui made this proposal and asked him to veto it. Finally, Liu Rengui forced him to come to Qinghai.

But I don’t understand military affairs, and I still understand this simple truth. There were still many war horses, transported pack horses, and some chaotic horses and donkeys brought by the soldiers of the palace. However, when I went to Qinghai, there were no Qinghai horses. Moreover, the cost of exchanging goods for horses was very low. Therefore, I reluctantly agreed. I only knew this, but Li Wei did not say anything else. He might not understand it if he said it, but he might be greedy for merit and misleading things.

Li Wei told Li Jinxing that Li Jinxing was left in Shancheng and refused to leave. He quietly released Hu Sheng and allowed him to go to Tuyuhun. Few people knew about all this, and they were his close confidants, and then silently cooperated with the prince's plan. Li Jingxuan couldn't remember, and the front line in Qinghai was undoubtedly Kuozhou, Hezhou and Taozhou. The most dangerous place in Shanzhou was Shancheng. Li Jinxing, a killer general, took care of Shancheng for him, and he was happy to see it. Besides, he didn't have the energy to take care of him. He was all in charge, and how to arrange it together, so he was busy.

Li Wei had no time to ask, so he had to use an inquiring look. Li Jinxing nodded. But his heart was a little scared. As a general who charged forward, the younger he was, the better he was. But as the commander of the three armies, it was not as mentioned in the legendary story of the market. He insisted on being brave enough to be the three armies. This required wisdom. Seeing that the prince was too young, he felt a grudge in his heart.

Li Wei then said, "Everyone, the army has basically arrived and the materials have almost been transported. Let's set a major policy first."

That is, how to fight, the generals nodded. At least one goal must be had, otherwise these hundreds of thousands of people would be like a bee that lost the queen bee and would explode the camp.

"Gou first throws a brick and jade to tell his own thoughts, and then you will talk about his own opinions. Soldiers use their strengths and sacrifice their weaknesses. Gou repeatedly thought about what strengths our army has on the road? The weapons are sharp, and no matter the original bow, arrow, sword and spear, they are better than those of the Tubo people. There are gunpowder and stone catapults, which are conducive to defending the city. But the shortcomings are that many soldiers are not suitable for the environment here. After coming along, Gu has seen them. Even though they have eaten Rhodiola, many soldiers have fallen ill. Not only are people and horses not adapted to this place. Moreover, the court has added many war horses, but they still cannot be all cavalry, mainly military troops, and like the Tubo people, one person, one rider, and the other half of them have a camel horse to reduce the weight of the war horse. Therefore, field battles are not the leader of our army."

"Your Highness, it's true that Li Jing also defeated the Tuyuhun people in the past." Wang Xiaojie said.

"Yes. But General Wang, I would like to ask you, who among you has the command of Li Jing? Besides, when our dynasty was founded, we had all the powerful troops in a hundred battles. How many of the 180,000 soldiers are truly in battle? At the beginning of the founding of the country, Tuyuhun was exhausted, and our dynasty won a great victory. Even if Tuyuhun was not destroyed by Tubo, it is still no match for our dynasty soldiers. However, can the Tubo people be better than Tuyuhun people?"

Wang Xiaojie was speechless.

"So even if you fight, you can't go out to Dafeichuan and Wuhai."

"Your Highness, are you talking about guarding?" Li Jingxuan asked.

"Yes, it's guard."

"But what should I do with food?"

"Why can our dynasty occupy the land of Hezhou in Guzhou and still not lost? It is precisely because the water flow here is dense, including Wu Nishui, Longquan Water, Gemen Water, Huangshui, Lishui, Daxia Mountain Water, Taoshui, and river network density, even in many areas of the Central Plains, most of the people here make a living by farming, which is easy to manage. When we go south, it is mostly high-altitude places with few water sources and high and cold air. We can only live by nomadic life, and the same is true for Dafeichuan. Or there are a small number of people planting barley, but everyone is not used to eating it. In fact, Jiang Zuoxiang came to Liangzhou and had already started to build military farms. However, he died early and was not popular. So he came alone and saw only a piece of green wasteland."

"Your Highness, it's not true that Tubo is harassed and can no longer be planted." Li Jinxing agreed.

"This is exactly what I want to say. Once a large amount of farming is cultivated, Hehuang will become an important grain-producing area for our dynasty. With food and grass, we can gather a large army here, and with gunpowder and other artifacts to defend the city, Tubo will not be able to go further east. But Tubo is harassing, you can look at the map," Li Wei pointed to the map, but he did not look at it himself and continued to talk: "There are many mountains in Qinghai, which are tall and stunning, and even many mountains do not melt all year round, crossing roads within the territory. Therefore, since ancient times, from our dynasty to Tuyuhun or Tubo, or the south silk, it is the south silk.

There are not many roads to the Western Regions. I will first talk about the main roads within our jurisdiction in Qinghai. There is the Kelanguan Road in Hezhou. From Linzhou to Taoshui, to Daxiachuan, northwest to Donggu, to Baohan, to Lishui, to Kelanguan. From Hezhou to north, through Fenglin Gu, to Fenglinguan, to Fenglinguan, cross the Yellow River, cross Mantouling, to Longzhi, and to Huangshui. From Hezhou to southwest to Lishui, to Fenglinguan, to Lanquan County, this is the old road of Emperor Yang's conquest of Tuyuhun. You can also go from Baituling, Baitu Ancient City to Shanzhou. Fenglinguan north to Chianqiao, and Guangwuliang to Lanzhou."

"The main roads in Shanzhou include Dugemen Water from Shanzhou, through Changsong Hongyuan Valley, you can reach Guzang, Liangzhou, from Shancheng, follow Changning River, pass Changning Bridge, enter Changning Canyon, enter Xingsu River, Xingling, northward, and northward Gemen Water, and northward Qilian Mountains. Oh, it is the Daduba Valley of Daxue Mountain. This valley is the most dangerous. The valley reaches more than 300 miles east to Liangzhou and north to Ganzhou Didan for more than 200 miles, and it is also the ancient and modern post road. From Daduba Valley, it is the old county of Linqiang in the Han Dynasty, and the ancient city of Longyi. The Tubo people stationed a Yuhai Army here.

From Yu Haijun to Qinghai, you can follow Tuyuhun Fuqi City. From Shancheng west to Baituling, west to Chengfengling, and from Qianniuxia dangerous road to Tuyuhun. From Shancheng Huangshui Road, you can turn to Baishuijian, and to Shicheng Mountain, there is only one path to go up. Crossing this mountain for twenty or thirty miles, it is Chiling, and there is a great way to reach Dafeichuan. This is the main road of Tang and Tibet. From the southwest of Shancheng, follow Niuxin River, you can reach Chengfengling. The Sui Dynasty established Chengfeng Shu and Guanhun. The southwest of Chiling is Shudun City in Tuyuhun."

"There are two more roads in Guzhou. Walk along the north bank of the Yellow River, off the bank, reaching Chengfengling, and connecting to the Shudun City Road of Chiling. From 180 miles southwest of Guzhou to Jingbian Town, Gujiaohe City, it is also the garrison of Jishi Army. Thirty miles west is Dahua County, another sixty miles southwest to Hongji Bridge, and another fifty miles southwest is the west of the Yellow River Jiuqu. The Momen Army is south of Taozhou. Three hundred miles west is the place of Jiuqu, and from the north is the Mintao Road. Tubo gang Diezhou also passed by this road. There are other roads, such as the ancient Han Road down Dajishi Mountain entering Songzhou and up to Tuyuhun. There are also some roads, some of which are annihilated with the terrain, and some are not important."

After saying this in one breath, he took a sip of tea and looked at everyone.

Some people know what they are doing, and some people's heads are blown up. Li Jingxuan is pitiful while listening, staring at the map.

In fact, there is another important road. Li Wei did not say it. He could reach Guazhou, Shazhou, that is, the Southern Silk Road. Tubo invaded Hexi and most of the four towns passed by, so he didn't want to take it back for the time being, so he wouldn't talk about it. In addition, there are many small paths, which are not in a few places. Qinghai, which is vast in the desert, there are not a thousand such trails, and there are also one hundred. It is not suitable for the army to set off, so there is no need to explain them in detail.

Li Jingxuan's eyes turned from the map and asked suspiciously: "What does your highness mean?"

"Build the city. Baitouling, Daxiachuan, Hongyuan Valley, Xingsuchuan, Dadoulong Valley, Qianniu Gorge, Shichengshan, Hongji Bridge, and the west of Jiuqu, all built stone cities. These big cities are lined with a few small garrisons, layer by layer fortification, and gunpowder catapults and crossbows to guard. If the Tubo people invade, they will fall into the layers of nets of our garrison. A large army will be produced, with very little income. A small army will come to establish an annihilation! Hehuang

The land can be protected without loss. Moreover, the layers of defense are built and the nine-curved lands can be cultivated. After two years, the food will be sufficient to protect itself. There are also many grasslands that can be grazed and there will be no worries about the supply of war horses. Everyone, Tubo’s poor soldiers are demoted, and there will be civil strife. Now is the best time to capture it from time to time. But if the army is not sent, the Tubo wolf ambition will inevitably swallow the entire Hehuang. Once Hehuang is lost, it will be not far from the Xijing Chang'an. This is what the court is most worried about."

"Yes," Li Jingxuan responded. This is the real reason why the court had to fight. It turned out that there were Tuyuhun people as a buffer. Even if they started a war with the Tubo people, the war was still outside the country. But now it is different. Tubo not only endangers the Western Regions, but also the Helong prefectures. How far is this place from Chang'an City?

"After layer of defense, Qinghai can ensure safety. Even if one city and two cities are lost, there will be dozens and hundreds of cities to protect it. Qinghai will not lose, and Liang Ganlan, Lan, Diemin and other states can ensure safety. Then the crisis in the capital will be resolved. Then we can wait for the fighter plane and head west step by step."

"Your Highness, your idea is good, but it requires a lot of soldiers. How many soldiers are there for the imperial court?"

"This is another question I thought about on the road alone. When the Turks died in the past, their tribes either went north to Xueyantuo's tribe, or rushed west to the Western Regions, or surrendered to our dynasty. The ministers thought that the Northern Di had been a trouble for China since ancient times, so they should move to various prefectures and counties in Henan to teach them to farm and weave them, and forever block the northern land. Yan Shigu placed them in Hebei and divided the chiefs, so there would be no trouble. Li Baiyao believed that although the Turks said that there were many races, they should each establish their monarchs and chiefs. If they were not subordinate to each other, they would be weak and easy to control. They would each protect themselves and would not be able to compete with China. Dou Jing believed that the nature of Rongdi was like a beast, and could not be punished and ruled, or benevolent and righteous, and if they were placed in the Central Plains, they might change.

The daughter of the royal family divided the land, analyzed the tribes, and made them vassal ministers, and protected the border forever. Wen Yanbo believed that moving to the prefectures in Henan was inconsistent and difficult to maintain. He asked to check the story of Jianwu in the Han Dynasty, and set up surrendered slaves in the frontier, divide their tribes, and defended them by China. Wei Zheng thought it was inappropriate. The Turkic period was a bandit and thieves, and the people were hated. Now they could not bear it. In the future, the multiplication of people would be a traitor. In the early days of Jin, Guo Qinjiangtong advised Emperor Wu of Jin to expel him outside the frontier and refused to listen. Twenty years later, the land of Yiluo was all Hu felt. Wen Yanbo refuted the kings of all things, and the sky covered the earth, and should be taught to be rituals and righteousness and transformed into the people. So Taizong chose Yanbo's proposal."

This is a very famous history. The resettlement of the Qibian tribe in Liangzhou was also a product of this policy.

Everyone didn't know what the prince was meant to tell this story.

Li Wei took another sip of tea and said, "Wrong, wrong, wrong, all are wrong."
