Long Langchi's arrival showed his attitude of admitting defeat in Tubo.

Pei Min didn't leave any room for Chang'an. This situation was different, and the way of dealing with it had to change as well.

Before, Tubo occupied the territory of the Tang Dynasty. It was obviously a defeated country, but it was shameless and did not return.

This time it was different. They not only regained the lost land, but also embedded the nails into Qinghai Lake, which already had a decisive advantage.

Facing other countries, Pei Min will take the method of beating the dogs in the water, but Tubo is different.

The altitude sickness poses too great a threat to the Tang army. This problem cannot be overcome in one day. It is extremely difficult for the Tang Dynasty to kill the capital of Tubo and capture the Potala Palace.

The only way to overcome altitude sickness is habit, which takes a certain amount of time to adapt.

Faced with this situation, temporary peace is necessary.

Of course, there is another important point. Today, the Tang Dynasty is still in a state of rapid development. If it is meaninglessly consumed with Tubo, it will only cause the end of losing people and losing money.

Since Tubo was willing to surrender and pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, Pei Min could not think of a reason to disagree.

But as a defeated country, the price is still a little bit!

Pei Min had no discussion here. After seeing Long Langchi away, for some reason, he specially wrote a letter to Li Longji to show that the wealth of Qinghai Lake was so rich that he would take this opportunity to get a share of the pie.

After confirming Tubo's attitude, Pei Min accelerated the construction of the new city.

After a month, the four walls on Moli City were finally built.

However, Moli City is a city, but it is actually a convenient fortress. Just like the three cities of Junzhen, Damomen, Tree Stump, and Wanxiu, only soldiers or families of soldiers who are willing to move here will not be resettled. The meaning of its existence is to defend against the invasion of Tubo. The city is empty and there is no decent house built. The soldiers in the city are still living in tents.

Of course, there will definitely be equipment such as houses in the future, but all of this will have to be adjusted by the imperial court before it can be done step by step. You cannot be in a hurry at this moment. Even the current wall will be overhauled in the future.

On this day Pei Min received the news from Chang'an Feige.

After several days of discussion, the Tang and Tubo initially reached an agreement, and the Tang and Tubo signed a ceasefire agreement. As for whether to reopen the alliance between uncle and nephew, there were no negotiations on the details, and there were still certain objections and were in a stalemate.

The armistice is about to be decided, and Pei Min is also preparing to withdraw his troops.

In this situation, the chances of Tubo going back on his word in a short period of time are not high. In case of precautions, Pei Min still approached Feng Changqing: "Tubo children are like jackals, without trust and righteousness, and are profit-oriented. Once our army retreats, they may not really not be able to peek at Moli City. Before ensuring the safety of Moli City, I need you to protect the safety of Moli City. The top and bottom of the army, your talents and strategies will reassure me the most."

Feng Changqing Zheng’s trail: “Pei Shuai is so respectful, he will guarantee his life with his life. If the people are in the city, the people will die, and the city will die!”

Pei Min hammered his chest and smiled and said, "Don't be so rigid. Mo Licheng is not worth changing to Feng Changqing. Others don't know, but I don't know the value of you Feng Changqing. Even if you use the entire Qinghai Lake, you can't exchange Feng Changqing for Feng Changqing."

"Pei Shuai..." Feng Changqing looked at Pei Min with emotion. The feeling of a great scholar dying for his confidant. If it were in the Spring and Autumn Period, when the imperial power of the Three Kingdoms was like dirt, he would have been swearing to be loyal to him.

No one knew Feng Changqing's talent better than Pei Min. This hateful man completely confirmed the word "no appearance" and the extraordinary military level of the owner. If you hand over Mo Li City to him, unless Tubo mobilized more than ten times the force, you would not expect to get benefits from him.

Left four thousand soldiers to Feng Changqing, Pei Min led the remaining troops to the plateau with confidence.

At Damomen City, they met with Guo Zhiyun, and the two joined forces.

Pei Min returned to Chang'an to welcome his child to the death, so he chose to cross Shibao City to Shanzhou, and then go directly to Guanzhong via the official road. Instead of going to Jiuqudi in Hexi, he rushed to Taozhou by their attacking route.

We came all the way to Mengchiling and climbed the stone castle city they took back.

It was dusk and the road down the mountain was rugged and difficult to walk, so I decided to rest in Shibao City for a night.

When he was free, Pei Min wanted to visit Shibao City and see what the fortress that countless Tang soldiers buried here. He then called Jiang Yue, Li Yide, and Li Siye to chat and talk together to promote each other's feelings.

When he arrived at the North Gate Tower, Pei Min looked out from the tower and instantly understood.

Why did Wang Zhongsi reject Li Longji's proposal to attack Shibao City in history? Why did Geshuhan fight against a Shibao City with less than a thousand people defending but paid the lives of 30,000 soldiers!

They walked on the back mountain of Mengchiling, but they didn't think so. In order to facilitate reinforcements, Tubo specially repaired the mountain road, but they thought it was a dangerous place, but they could not be regarded as a natural danger.

But now when I look over the front mountain in Shanzhou, I understand everything:

This stone castle city is not as simple as a small castle at all. The whole mountain is a natural line of defense, with a small mountain path winding and winding, and there is no place to stand on the left and right.

Especially 120 steps away from the front gate of Shibao City, there is a mountain road similar to a stitch of stone crevices. Not to mention that tens of thousands of troops could not even stretch out the five people. It was simply a key place where a man could not pass through the barrier. If he really wanted to attack hard, he would have to pay a huge price for every step closer.

Jiang Yue exclaimed: "The steepness of this stone castle city is no less than Tongguan and Jianmen Pass."

"Not bad!" Guo Zhiyun and Gongren walked over side by side, and the former said: "In terms of its might, Shibao City is inferior to Tongguan and Jianmen Pass three points, but it is better than the danger."

He walked to the city wall and looked at the steep mountain road with a sad face. After he succeeded as the governor of Longyou, this stone castle city was his heart disease. He sent troops to attack many times, but it was useless, but it damaged many soldiers. At least five thousand of his soldiers were buried under the valley. "If it were not for the government's public use of strategies and generals, this stone castle city would be difficult to obtain."

Pei Min also went nearby and reached out to support the city wall, trying to see how high the city wall was, but unexpectedly he saw a few big words in the middle of the city wall, and replaced by a string of Tubo characters.

"What is this?" Pei Min looked at Lun Gongren.

Lun Gongren glanced at him and said, "In your words, it means Iron Blade City. Shibao City is called Iron Blade City in Tubo."

"It's so shameless!" Guo Zhiyun said angrily: "The three words "Stone Castle City" were written by Yang Guang back then. Tubo snatched it away, and then changed it to his name and it will be considered by himself!"

Lu Gongren smiled awkwardly.

Pei Min also came and said in a rage: "Stone Castle City is the Stone Castle City, what kind of Iron Blade City, change it immediately!"

Guo Zhiyun immediately: "It is better for the magistrate to write a letter and let someone express it?"

Pei Min was very moved. How could such a beautiful thing that had been passed down for thousands of years be given to others?
