The generals looked at Li Jing's solemn expression, but looked at Li Jing with some difficulty.
After all, in the eyes of everyone, Li Tai was the King of Yan and had good luck to get Murong Fuyun, but if he said that the killer present was convinced, it would definitely not be enough.
After all, Li Tai's behavior is strictly a way to get a bargain, rather than chewing on this tough problem.
However, strictly speaking, he is on the same front as these killers. If the reason for the war can be more sufficient, these generals will not oppose Li Tai's words, and even wish Li Tai would say more.
Li Tai did not consider it so carefully, but as long as Li Tai made sure that what he did was not violated the interests of the vast majority of the army, it would be enough.
Li Tai continued: "Military, Tuyuhun attacked our Liangzhou and other places, proving that if you want to defend Hexi, you must defend the Hehuang Valley.
The gap between Hehuang Valley and Qinghai Lake is quite large, and Qinghai Lake has a natural advantage in attacking Hehuang Valley.
If we do not have a foothold in Qinghai Lake, the Hehuang Valley will be affected by the gradually recovering local tribes.
Therefore, there must be a place between the end of the Hehuang Valley and Qinghai Lake, which can become an important barrier for our Tang Dynasty to defend the Hehuang Valley."
"The King of Yan? The Hehuang Valley is almost a bitter and cold place compared to our Guanzhong.
Wherever you pass, not to mention the rare travels, at least it is quite deserted. Is it worth garrisoning here?" Li Daozong asked.
"I can't say that it's far away. Just because we can raise a Tuyuhun here, it's worth garrisoning here!"
Li Tai said, "Otherwise, after the extermination, Tuyuhun or similar tribes will come back in a few years. Then what's the point of today's battle for only twenty years of peace!"
After hearing Li Tai's words, the enlightened soldiers present could not help but feel a little ashamed.
After all, it is quite good to have twenty years of peace in their eyes, but from Li Tai's mouth, why is it so calm?
But Li Jing continued to Li Tai, "Do you think about protecting Hexi?"
Li Tai shook his head and said, "In addition to protecting Hexi, there is another consideration because of Tubo!"
"The King of Yan thinks that Tubo will become a threat to our Tang Dynasty?" Li Jing couldn't help but ask when he heard Li Tai's words.
In the eighth year of Zhenguan, Songtsen Gampo sent envoys to Tang to pay tribute and requested a marriage with Tang. Emperor Taizong of Tang sent envoy Feng Dexia to Tubo.
So the generals present also knew about the existence of Tubo, but no one cared about this place.
Because the Tang Dynasty Shang Princess can be said to be the greatest importance that the Tang Dynasty attached to a foreign country. The foreign country that could not Shang Princess was basically regarded as an inequality existence, or in other words, the Tang Dynasty did not want to accept you as a younger brother and act as a tribute system for foreign countries.
.
In other words, Princess Shang of the Tang Dynasty was not the kind of Han Dynasty who could not beat him, so he would slow down and continue to fight after he was ready.
Instead, the Tang Dynasty told the surrounding Fanbians that you are now qualified to be my son.
This can actually be seen from many places. For example, Xue Yantuo, who started his business by eating the corpses of the Eastern Turks, has basically become a peak kingdom. The first thing he has to do is to find Princess Shang of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin said that I don’t want to accept you as my younger brother, and the marriage between the two parties failed because of etiquette.
After that, the tribes that resisted Xue Yantuo on the grassland rose one after another. When Li Shimin saw that the time was ripe, he destroyed Xue Yantuo.
Of course, Tubo also understood that Princess Shang was the symbol that she could be a younger brother of the Tang Dynasty, and then went to the Tang Dynasty to ask Princess Shang, because Li Shimin felt that the emperor of Tubo was far away and had almost nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty, so he had no choice but to the Tang Dynasty.
interest.
But in Tubo's opinion, the slutty Tuyuhun can be the princess, so why can't he?
Then he beat Tuyuhun up to an almost wipeout, and fought with Datang again, using his strength to show that he was qualified to be Princess Shang.
For the sake of overall strategic considerations, Li Shimin, especially Tuyuhun, could not even guard his own west side. Is it better to change his younger brother? He admitted that Tubo became the younger brother of the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, after Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, the west side of the Tang Dynasty became stable, and the Tang Dynasty could deal with Goguryeo with all its heart.
However, the Tang Dynasty has not fought against Tubo yet, so no one knows the strength of Tubo, and he doesn't think that Tubo will be more difficult than Western Turks. So even Li Jing thinks Li Tai is a little too careful, but it's just Tubo.
.
However, it would be better if the military officers could value their opponents. Li Jing did not stand up to refute Li Tai's words.
When Li Tai saw that everyone present did not care much about Tubo, there was no need to continue to emphasize this point, but continued, "As for the third time, the "Grass Plan" was not finally chosen to be implemented in a foreign country.
Since Tuyuhun has been defeated, it is just the place for experiments. Especially when they are defeated, we can ask Tuyuhun for it. I just want them to have a little bit of land and try to cultivate grass. It should not be too much.
Especially as the time is getting closer to March, it will be easy to farm after the farming is done, so it will not delay the farming time.”
When Li Tai heard Li Tai's words, Li Jing nodded, but also understood what Li Tai meant.
At least in Li Jing's view, the third point is Li Tai's real purpose. After all, the "Grass Plan" will eventually be implemented on aliens.
Although the prince was asked to intercept the Hu because of the saint, the King of Yan saw the way to break the deadlock, or put the bet on himself, thinking that he had the ability to calm down Tuyuhun in a short period of time, so he followed him decisively.
Now, with Murong Fuyun being penetrated by thousands of arrows, Tuyuhun's war won most of it. If it were the usual situation, the Tang Dynasty might not have been rare for these lands.
Normally, if you rob Tuyuhun, you will go back if you defeat Tuyuhun, but now the King of Yan means to build a city here and educate the people.
If this is the case, after he completely defeated Tuyuhun, the King of Yan would probably educate Tuyuhun with the trend.
At least compared to unconquered areas, Tuyuhun is better managed than other aliens in other places.
"Okay! Since everyone has decided to continue to send troops to Beihai, then you can go back and wait for the vanguard to set off in three days!" Li Jing's eyes turned and finally fell on Li Daozong, saying, "Nether Li, this time
You will be the pioneer!"
"No!" Hearing Li Jing's arbitrary decision, Li Daozong quickly agreed and looked at Hou Junji with a little smugness.
Hou Junji only snorted lightly. After all, although he did not take Murong Fuyun, he had the merits of taking Shancheng. In addition to Li Tai, he was the best in the entire army. Let the vanguard be given to Li Daozong first.
At this time, Li Jing also wrote the results of the discussion of the general and the idea of Li Tai's hope to get a piece of land from Beihai to Hehuang in the military newspaper, stamped it with a seal and sent it back to Chang'an.
Of course, it was not only Li Jing, but even Li Tai himself sent a memorial to Li Shimin.
The article that wrote a heads up, this time it squeezed out about 500 words to explain the reason.
After sending the memorial to Li Shimin through the expedited emergency, Li Tai breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, during the discussion just now, Li Tai understood that he had retained some of them, the most important of which was the natural advantage and curse of Tubo.
Because of the altitude sickness, Tubo obtained the greatest security guarantee, but also because of the altitude sickness, Tubo's offensive capabilities for neighboring countries were actually very limited.
However, waiting for Tubo to occupy the current land in Tuyuhun, it would definitely be a headache for the Tang Dynasty to disturb Hexi.
But no matter what, if this problem is not solved, it will basically not be able to destroy Tubo.
This is also the reason why you have to occupy a piece of land here in Qinghai. You need to slowly select soldiers who are not afraid of altitude sickness or who can adapt to altitude sickness very quickly.
In this era, this thing can only be overcome by genes, and another term for genes is fate.
It is not convenient for me to talk about this at a military meeting. After all, I have never been to Qinghai after I went there. As a result, I may not believe these things now.
Even if others believe it, if you don’t come up with a solution, just ask questions simply, it’s just a picture that makes people feel annoying and meaningless. After all, how can you pay attention to things like altitude sickness?
However, Li Tai found Liu Shenwei.
I have to say that after being busy these days, Liu Shenwei can be said to have lost weight a lot, but after this time of fighting with the God of Death, the next work of the medical camp has been much easier.
"I've seen King Yan." When Liu Shenwei saw Li Tai, he respectfully saluted Li Tai.
Li Tai nodded and said, "How is the treatment of the wounded? How is the consumption of the medicinal materials? Is the follow-up sufficient?"
Liu Shenwei replied to Li Tai, "Report to King Yan, after these few days of rescue, the soldiers can basically save seven or eight.
As for the seriously injured or disabled wounded people, they are afraid that they will not be able to keep up with the army's operations, so they will temporarily settle in Shancheng!
Although I purchased medicinal materials locally, the local medicinal materials are very different from those in the Central Plains. Regardless of the properties and dosage, they need to be slowly identified.
Even some medicinal materials with the same attributes still require a long time to process, and the remaining medicinal materials are only about six layers!"
Although medicines are theoretically picked and used on the same day, it requires a certain degree of technical treatment to maintain the medicinal properties for a long time.
The medicinal materials carried by Liu Shenwei and others are more ground into powder, which maintains the medicinal properties while having a longer shelf life. This cannot be processed in a short time. Just drying this procedure will take half a month to one.
moon.
If it weren’t for the large-scale medicine garden in Zhengbaiqu, then the medical camp would often be a good cook who would not cook without rice.
Behind the entire medical camp, the entire medical supplies system is actually providing sufficient support.
"Leave a group of medical camp doctors to take care of them. As for the medicinal materials, we have chewed the hardest levels after all. We dare not say that we will win this battle in the next war, but at least it will be much easier."
Li Tai heard Liu Shenwei's words and explained the current situation to Liu Shenwei. After talking about this, he thought for a while,
"I heard that there is usually miasma on the mountains. Next, the army needs to climb to Qinghai, and I feel a little worried.
If you are proficient in pharmacology, go to the local witch to ask if there is any local method to cure miasma, preferably some medicinal materials that can be collected locally.
After all, we have not produced targeted drugs, so it is best to prepare them all before the army sets off!”
"No!" Liu Shenwei immediately agreed when he heard Li Tai's words.
For Liu Shenwei, solving the miasma encountered on the road is also one of the significance of the existence of the medical camp.
Although I don’t know why the King of Yan is quite sure of this matter, compared with other arrogant soldiers, Liu Shenwei can be said to be brought by Li Tai.
As long as the purpose is good, Li Tai can give him many orders without explanation, and Liu Shenwei will do it too.
Liu Shenwei would not ask anything more. After all, along the way, Liu Shenwei has been constantly establishing a medical school system and has also established a medical camp himself.
Liu Shenwei truly felt that the beautiful future that King Yan drew for him was realized little by little.
Although the original King of Yan was indeed painting cakes, over the years, this cake was really made by King of Yan, so why didn’t I continue to believe King of Yan?
The decision made by the King of Yan may not understand it himself, but it must be correct.
As Liu Shenwei went to find local local methods and related talents, Li Tai found Tian Changgeng again.
"Sacrifice, are you looking for me?" Tian Changgeng met Li Tai and gave a student ceremony.
Li Tai signaled to be exempted from the ceremony and said, "When the army is idle, I need you to bring some of the students who are good at farming to find common crops in the Hehuang Valley, such as staple food and staple food, fruit and side dishes, and livestock feed, all of them are collected one by one.
come over.
Those who can make specimens are not suitable for making specimens, find an excellent painter to record them one by one!”
When Tian Changgeng heard this, he nodded to Li Tai and said, "As long as I'm going to ask someone to do it with me!"
Li Tai nodded, then patted Tian Changgeng on the shoulder and said,
"You do things carefully, and I'll be assured that you can leave them to you. Give me this thing before we set out to Qinghai!"
"No!" Tian Changgeng immediately replied to Li Tai when he heard Li Tai's words.
Because the thermometers and hygrometers of this era have not been studied, the most direct way to know the local rainfall level is to see what the food is cultivated by local people.
To be honest, for Li Tai, the best local staple food is wheat, so that Gaoling students can arrange it directly.
But if the mainstream food is barley or barley, I may have someone to study it here again. If the cultivation methods of these two things are developed from Qinghai to Hehuang Valley, I may need to slow down.
After all, without food as the foundation, any other reform is not impossible, but once it fails, it will have to pay a price!
Just as Li Tai was thinking about how to develop Qinghai to Hehuang Valley in the future, the memorials of Li Tai and Li Jing were also sent to Li Shimin through expedited efforts.
After all, he had defeated Murong Fuyun and had chewed this hard bone, which basically laid the foundation for the entire battle situation.
If you want Tuyuhun to surrender completely, you still have to continue leading your army to attack Qinghai Lake.
But the return of this war to the court is already considered a good news.
