"Would Master Ye be a little too alarmist?"

Su Dawei picked up a cup of tea at his hand, touched it to his lips, and did not drink it, and put it down again.

He looked up at Ye Fashan, and his eyes showed a look of inquiry.

It was shocking enough to hear Ye Fashan say that strangeness was about to make a comeback.

As for the strangeness of Tubo now gathering in India, northern Fans, Xiangxiong, Tuyuhun and other places, it is even more incredible.

Ye Fashan's eyes opened and closed, a faint light came out: "I hope that all this does not exist, but through the information from all aspects of our Taoist sect, this matter is almost the same, so I came overnight to tell General Su that this matter was.

Be careful.”

After Su Dawei was silent for a moment, he solemnly clasped his fists to Ye Fashan: "Thank you, Master Tian, ​​I will take this matter to heart."

"There's another thing."

Ye Fashan seemed to be hesitant.

"Please tell me the Heavenly Master."

"This time, the imperial court conquered Tubo, in addition to using troops on the front line, I was afraid that there would also be a strange battle. I don't know how many strange people there were in the hands of General Manager Su."

"Oh, that's right, if it really doesn't work, I will ask Your Majesty to send someone from the Secret Pavilion to help."

"The Secret Pavilion wants to guard Chang'an, but I'm afraid I won't have the energy to go to Tuyuhun thousands of miles away." Ye Fashan stopped for a moment and then said, "What I mean is that if General Manager Su needs it, my Maoshan Sect's cultivators can go to war with the army to serve General Manager Su."

Su Dawei was overjoyed and clasped his fists to Ye Fashan and said, "I am just thinking about this, but I am embarrassed to speak. Since Master Ye Tian took the initiative to ask, I will refuse."

"Haha, protecting the Tang Dynasty is my duty, so why do you need to thank me?"

Ye Fashan stood up and bowed to Su Dawei, "It's up to you, I will go back to Chang'an first to prepare. Then I will send my disciples to catch up with General Su's team."

"Thank you, Master."

Su Dawei personally sent Ye Fashan out of the military camp.

Standing in front of the gate, looking at Ye Fashan's back as if he was astonished as a geek, he felt thoughtful in his heart.

It seems that Ye Tianshi has always been more active in cooperating with the government.

But there is nothing wrong with this.

Taoism is too pure and inaction, only focusing on one's own cultivation, not on one's worldly affairs.

This is far worse than Buddhism from India.

The monks and monks have developed very rapidly in Chang'an and among the noble families over the years.

Even when Li Zhi and Li Hong made wishes and fulfilled their wishes, they built Buddhist temples and built pagodas.

Now that Ye Fashan's branch is available, I believe it will bring different changes.

There was nothing to say overnight. On the second day, on the way to the marching, there were already a small group of soldiers in the team who left the brigade in the team, broke into pieces, and quietly returned to Zhechong Mansion in Chang'an.

The remaining teams continued to move forward, and when they set up camp, they would set up camps like 50,000 people, so that people could not see the truth or reality.

This is to hide it from the Tubo people.

From the 20th year of Zhenguan to the present, Tubo has sent many spies to the Central Plains. Although many of them have been eliminated by the Ducha Temple in recent years, there must be some fish that have escaped.

A few days later, more than 20,000 soldiers who borrowed fake news to make a name for themselves all returned to Zhechong Mansion.

Su Dawei's vanguard army had only 12,000 people left.

With the logistics and supplies, grain transport, and the civilians and auxiliary soldiers, the entire team still has about 48,000.

Along the way, it is a process of replacing real warriors with civilians and auxiliary soldiers.

Before doing a good job in logistics and war mobilization, the court will not easily launch another battle to destroy the country with more than 100,000 people.

For a big country like Tubo, it is absolutely impossible to destroy it without sending more than 100,000 troops.

Li Zhi and the important military officers in the court were still clear about this.

After a few days, Su Dawei finally welcomed the guests he was waiting for in the military camp.

In the central army's tent, Su Dawei sat in the main seat, Su Qingjie on the left, and An Wensheng who had just arrived on his right.

With his left and right hands down, Li Bian, Cheng Wuting, Gao Chongwen and others were sitting in turn.

In the middle of the military tent, Wang Xuance, the doctor of the sank, bowed to Su Dawei with his hands: "Wang Xuance, I have met the general manager."

"Doctor Wang doesn't have to be too polite. There are many places to rely on Doctor Wang this time."

"Shame."

Wang Xuance raised his head, his eyes shining with scorching light.

He did not expect that Su Dawei actually summoned him to go to war with the army.

Over the years, he has been suppressed by an invisible pressure in the court.

Although he has not been dismissed from his official position, it is difficult to make progress.

So he even wanted to try to send a mission to India again to see if he had the chance to make great contributions again.

Everyone has their own dreams, or pursuits.

For Wang Xuance, he had few ambitions and was a hero and free and easy person.

He has a strong sense of fame and fortune.

If he was allowed to live his life in the position of the Chaosan Doctor, it would be a more terrible punishment than death.

This time he was summoned by Su Dawei to accompany the military counselor, which was his only chance.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel glad for his decision to go to Su Dawei's mansion to seek a meeting.

If I hadn't had the opportunity to see you that time, I would not have had the opportunity today.

God will never let down if you work hard.

"Doctor Wang, we don't say anything that is stupid. If you have been on the envoys to India several times, you can take a look at this sand table and give us some advice."

Su Dawei said, raising his hand to signal.

A soldier in the camp had already reached out to lift the cloth on the screen standing on one side of the camp.

What is exposed below is not a real screen, but a wooden frame with a picture hanging on it.

It is not an ordinary marching map, but a three-dimensional map is carved with clay sculptures and wood sculptures.

Different places are also marked with different colors.

Wang Xuance immediately exclaimed in an instant.

"It's really incredible who came up with this kind of mapping method..."

He couldn't help but walk up and reached out to touch the blue and gray wood carvings representing the mountains, red arrows representing the Tang army, small flags, and blue signs representing the river.

"If we knew there was such a map back then, we would not know how many detours we could take when we went to Tianzhu."

Gao Chongwen said in a slightly praising and showing off: "This kind of map is made by the General Administration Office. Now the Ministry of War uses it to replace the original old map, and the General Administration calls it a sand table."

Wang Xuance was surprised: "It turned out to be the company of General Manager Su, and it was really a genius."

"Shame..."

Su Dawei and the other generals also walked to the sand table to discuss the use of troops together.

He touched his cheeks, but fortunately his face was thick enough.

"Since this object is made of mud and carved, why is it called a sand table?"

"Uh, because I was in the sand, I thought of this when I was placing on wooden branches." Su Dawei made up a reason casually.

"I see."

"Our marching route has been marked on the map. Doctor Wang see if there is any better route, or if you have any suggestions, you can discuss it."

Wang Xuance nodded, touched the arrow of the vanguard army's advance, and murmured: "There are three main soldiers and horses arranged in the line of Tuyuhun, namely Guazhou, Ganzhou and Liangzhou.

I saw the marked marching route, and it was probably going along this line.

This line overlaps with Hexi, with sufficient supply along the road, and there are many business travelers, and the news is smooth, making it the most ideal marching route.”

After stopping, Wang Xuance continued: "I went to India with Master Xuanzang, and I went from Hexi to the West, passed through the countries of the Western Regions, then crossed the mountains, passed Tubo and Boni, and then arrived in India."

Su Dawei's eyes flashed with his fingers.

I saw a large army set out from Chang'an, along the Silk Road, crossing the Hexi Corridor, which is later Gansu.

After passing Wuwei, Jiuquan, Dunhuang, to the countries in the Western Regions, through Gaochang, Yanqi, Kucha, and Khotan, crossing the Kunlun Mountains, and to the Himalayas, there was a gap. The cavalry descended from there, and they were in a high position and were as powerful as a bamboo shoot.

After rushing into India, there is a plain with a flat horse, suitable for cavalry to unfold.

Back then, Wang Xuance used Tubo and Boni troops to rush towards India from here.

Su Dawei is not unfamiliar with this gap.

It is the western section of the border that conflicted between the Central Plains and Asanos, commonly known as the Aksaichin region.

At this time, Wang Xuance told the geography of the route and the situation of defeating Tianzhu one by one.
