"The Lord has always felt that the loss of Jianchuan City was simply due to the general's negligence and being attacked by the Tibetan army."
"The general's slaughter of innocent Tibetan people is just an excuse for the other side.
It's a pity that Yaozhou only has one army of soldiers, so it might be okay to defend Yaozhou."
"If there really is a conflict with Tubo and the other party invades in large numbers, I am afraid that the entire Yaozhou will be in crisis..."
Speaking of this, the confidant of Governor Ning couldn't help but let out a long breath.
"Jianchuan City is located in a dangerous location, and it is a key link between Tibet and Yaozhou.
As long as we hold on to this place, Tibet will have no choice but to stand still even if it has thousands of troops."
"But now that it has fallen into the hands of Tubo, it will be extremely difficult for us in the Tang Dynasty to take it."
"Haha..." Cheng Chubi couldn't help but smile coldly when he heard this.
When the confidant of Governor Ning heard the sneer, his liver trembled, and he was about to explain.
Cheng Chubi waved his hand. "Mr. Cheng is not laughing at Lord Fu, but laughing at Tubo for actually playing such a trick on me, Datang."
Li Mo on the side couldn't help but patted the table in frustration.
"I didn't expect that Tubo would be so despicable and shameless. Even if they bite back, they would actually occupy our territory of the Tang Dynasty."
Governor Ning's confidant glanced at the three people present, thought about it, and couldn't help but add something.
"Actually, when I heard that the Governor of Jiannan Road wanted to come south, the Lord wanted to ask the British Duke to come forward."
"Let's see if there is a chance to get Jianchuan City back. After all, only with this city in hand can we keep the Tubo forces out of Yaozhou."
Cheng Chubi glanced at this guy and felt a little unhappy in his heart. What do you mean?
What it means is that I, Cheng Sanlang, am here, and your master felt that there was no such hope, so he didn’t mention it, right?
Cheng Jie, who was on the side, saw the expression of his third young master and didn't understand what the third young master was thinking.
He quickly coughed and changed the subject.
"Then Mr. Ningfu, have you ever thought about how to take back Jianchuan City?"
"Of course I have thought about it. Over the years, the Lord has sent people many times to investigate and inspect the Jianchuan City area. The villain has also been ordered to go there many times."
"Now, I know the Jianchuan City area very well..."
Cheng He Chubi raised his eyebrows and suddenly became interested.
"Then if you can draw, it would be best if you could draw the terrain in the Jianchuan City area in detail."
#####
The long follower surnamed Zheng sat in front of the desk and drew a rough overhead view of Jianchuan City under the spread paper.
There is also the terrain around Jianchuan City. Although he drew it a bit abstractly, he explained it while drawing it.
Let Cheng Chubi and others roughly know the situation in the Jianchuan City area.
The terrain of Jianchuan City is very dangerous, restricting the enemy from the north's southward passage, but to the south of Jianchuan City, there is a fairly open and gentle land.
In other words, if Jianchuan City is lost, the door will be open for the Tibetan troops to move south.
The important thing is that after capturing Jianchuan City, Tubo secured the gateway to the south and could come and go freely.
It made Cheng Chubi inhale frequently as if he had a toothache. Such an important territory actually fell into the hands of Tubo.
No wonder, Cheng Chubi seemed to remember that in history, after Uncle Li passed away, that so-and-so became the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
There was no way to stop Tibet's southern invasion, and Yaozhou became a battlefield for the representatives of the Tang Dynasty and Tibet.
Although the spokesperson of the Tang Dynasty won the victory in the end, after that, the power of the Tang Dynasty was also kicked out of this area, and it became the territory of the Nanzhao Kingdom.
Now, I'm here, and I'm jumping over happily, but surprisingly, I find that the situation is more complicated than I imagined.
Just the fact that Jianchuan was not in Datang's hands made him extremely miserable.
If we can't get Jianchuan back, what if we and others develop the land of Yaozhou to such a prosperous level, and then Tubo, suffering from pinkeye, comes south to pick peaches?
Jianchuan couldn't get it back, and Cheng Chubi felt that he couldn't handle his follow-up work at all.
However, Cheng Chubi did not give up, even though he was not a famous general of the Tang Dynasty like Li Ji.
But if I can find the flaw in Jianchuan City, I can take back this city.
Only then can he confidently and boldly display his strategy in the land of Yaozhou, otherwise everything will be in vain.
Cheng Chubi simply calmed down and carefully questioned Zheng Changsui, who had visited Najianchuan many times.
Zheng Changsui was very annoyed by Cheng Chubi, but he did not dare to grit his teeth. He could only endure it and gave the answers one by one.
"Although the terrain in the southern part of Jianchuan is relatively open, in fact if the army wants to enter or exit, it still needs to go south along here..."
"There are several trails in other places that can lead directly to Jianchuan City, but they all require climbing over mountains and ridges."
"not to mention……"
"Wait a minute!" Cheng Chubi's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Zheng Changsui.
"You said there are several trails that can lead directly to Jianchuan City. Are those trails hidden?"
"...It's not that hidden, but after exiting the trail, it's only a few miles away from Jianchuan City."
"Those trails are all over mountains and ridges and are not suitable for large armies at all."
"The Lord even went to investigate in person and found that it was difficult for ordinary people to travel.
Not to mention the soldiers wearing armor and carrying weapons, and they also have to carry siege weapons..."
"Haha..." Cheng Chubi suddenly let out such a horrifying laugh, Zheng Changsui was so frightened by what he said next that he swallowed it back in laughter.
#####
"Thank you Zheng Changsui for clarifying my doubts. You can go down first. I will ask you something later."
Zheng Changsui stood up and said goodbye to Cheng Chubi with a confused look on his face. He left the tent, shook his head helplessly, and decided to go back and take a good rest.
I hope that Cheng Changshi will reply to me tomorrow so that I can go back and restore my life to the Lord.
Cheng Chubi looked at Cheng Jie and Li Mo beside him. "What do you two think?"
"Third Young Master, I think this guy is causing trouble, so if you don't say anything else, just let us do it..."
Cheng Jie's voice was very low, and he raised his hand to make a throwing gesture.
Li Mo on the side looked a little hesitant. "Cheng Changshi, didn't you say before that these horned soldiers are unable to fight?"
"Indeed, but who should we compare the scores with?" Cheng Chubi chuckled and tapped his fingers on the desk.
"If we encounter the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty in a field battle, these beast soldiers will not even be able to handle food and drinks."
"However, we don't need to face the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. What we need to face is just a group of Tibetan soldiers and horses that are stronger than these Tibetan soldiers.
And we don't need to engage in field battles with the opponent. We can quietly advance to Jianchuan City through such mountain roads.
As long as we can safely sneak under Jianchuan City, it will be easy for Jianchuan City to fall into my hands."
