Su Dingfang, who was about to say hello to me, almost hit the dragon pillar. "Damn, this old man is really..." Su Dingfang hugged Zhuzi and smiled for a long time before he came back and couldn't help but whisper in a low voice. I felt deeply, but after all, this old hooligan is my father-in-law. No matter what, I feel embarrassed to scold this shameless king of the Tang Dynasty. He could only squat on the side and stare dryly with laughter and cry.

After laughing for a long time, the clouds that everyone had risen because of worry just now were completely depressed by Uncle Cheng's words, but everyone's mood finally got better.

Uncle Li rubbed his stomach and said weakly: "Okay, okay, Cheng Qing, don't make trouble, Dao Zong, tell me what you think."

"Although the six tribes of Nanzhao are considered strong tribes here, they are not subordinate to each other. They are just bewitched by Tubo. My brothers think that the six tribes of Nanzhao are not too anxious. The most urgent thing is to find ways to help the Qiang people in this area so that they can withstand the invasion of Tubo." Li Daozong's words were soon recognized by the generals present. Compared with the Tang Dynasty, the six tribes of Nanzhao were small local dogs with six teeth not yet grown in length. For the Tang Dynasty, Tubo was a giant mastiff locked in a broken cage. At any time, it could bite the frame strips on the edge and pounce on them to hurt people. Corresponding to the enemy, the danger, the priorities, the first thing to do is to determine.

"Well, Daozong's words are reasonable. Tubo is a big problem. Songzan Ganbu and Lu Dongzan, these two are both heroes of the time, and are definitely not comparable to those of great ambitions and talent like Gai Suwen in Quandong, Liaodong." Uncle Li Ji nodded and agreed with the judgment of Li Daozong, a famous royal general.

Li Daozong continued to calmly locate the sand table and set up a line between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo. He said slowly: "Your Majesty and you all know the wealth of Jiannan Road, but because of its traffic, his rent and taxes are rarely offered to the court. In order to prevent and curb the border, our Tang Dynasty set up heavy troops in the Helong area to protect the Hexi Corridor, protect the mainland trade channel of our Tang Dynasty, restrain Tuyuhun, and watch the northward passage of Tubo. The military supplies in the Helong area are mostly allocated from Jiannan Road. From this point of view, Tubo is not only trying to open up a way out. It is more likely that he wants to cut off the supply of our northwest border troops."

"It seems that I underestimated Tubo Songzan's children just now. This strategy of stone-counting birds is very proficient. If Tubo occupied this area..." Uncle Li picked up the baton in his hand and pointed it to the west of the Sichuan Basin, down the mountains, and to the intersection between the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. "From the height, you can attack and retreat. The Jiannan Road of our Tang Dynasty will be in trouble at any time. In this way, the Guanlong land must shrink its troops to protect the Tubo in Jiannan. In this way, we have great loopholes in the Tubo strategy of carrying on Tubo. Here, Tuyuhun in the Dafeichuan area will inevitably repeat it. In this way, the land of Longxi in the Tang Dynasty..."

"It not only resolves the difficulties on all sides, but also allows our Tang Dynasty to block the left and right. If there is another chaos in Nanzhao, Tubo can easily slaughter Yangtong. Then he returns to the army to take the Eastern Girls. Tubo can use the whole country to fight against our Tang Dynasty head-on." Uncle Li Jing couldn't help but be amazed.

Uncle Li's expression also looked much more ferocious: "Hmph, he dares! The Tubo people only dare to stay on the plateau to show off their power. If they go down to the plateau, not to mention that he came to a hundred thousand troops, even if the whole country attacked, I only need to send an elite army to kill him without leaving any armor."

"The most serious thing at the moment is, first, how to help the Qiang people resist the invasion and annexation of the Tubo tribes in the south, second, how to find a way to suppress the ambitions of the six tribes of Nanzhao and various tribes of all sizes in this area, and third, where to transport troops is the key." Uncle Li Jing rationally proposed the primary solution.

"This area is mostly mountain and forest plateau, and the climate is hot. Most of our elite soldiers in the Tang Dynasty are Northern Army. If you are not good at mountain warfare, it will be difficult to be useful if you go there. The Jiannan Road has only more than 10,000 troops. Even if you temporarily draw the army from other places for training, it will inevitably take a long time. Moreover, it is not suitable for large army combat at all. If there are too many people, it will be less, but if you go there, it will be..." Li Daozong frowned and the word Sichuan frowned.

"Yes, most of my elite soldiers in the Tang Dynasty are the combat power of the soldiers of the Northern Army and Jiannan Road..." Uncle Cheng also put his head here.

At this time, I couldn't help but clear my throat: "Your Majesty, I have an idea. I don't know if I can..."

"Oh, come on, let me wait and see it." Uncle Li Jing slapped me on the shoulder and gave me an encouraging look to signal me to continue.

"Actually, this is the case. My son-in-law thought that since this area is not suitable for large-scale corps operations, if we take

If you are in the team, it should be fine. Besides, the main military forces in Tubo are concentrated in the east. Although they are stronger than the Qiang people, if the Qiang people can get help from the Tang Dynasty, they will definitely be able to gain a firm foothold."

As soon as I said this, everyone threw me a bunch of hygiene eyes, nonsense, what else can I do if I don’t do this? I think I’m a hindsight. Even Uncle Li squeezed a look of anger. However, Uncle Li Jing first reacted, and with a snap, his palms suddenly closed: "I understand, hahaha, my beloved nephew, your eyes are much longer than me."

Uncle Li Jing's performance made everyone confused, his expression was full of problems, and even Uncle Li looked puzzled: "What do you mean by your words?"

"Aren't your more than 200 soldiers Wu Ben sent to the tropical jungle to train in the south back?" Uncle Li Jing's teeth under his beard were so shiny. I nodded quickly. Now, not only Uncle Li, but also the generals around him lit up, but they gradually faded again.

"Two hundred people are enough to get stuck in the teeth." Uncle Cheng said this. Although the veterans who were already in the crowd were glaring at each other, it can be seen from their expression that they also had such thoughts.

I smiled: "My father-in-law is right. The correct statement is that there are only 217 Wu Ben Army soldiers who are familiar with the combat of the tropical jungle in the south. However... If they and the external officers from the Tang Military Academy came to command and train the southern soldiers of the Tang Dynasty in Jiannan Road, fighting and training, we are not fighting alone, and there are also the help of Qiang people familiar with the geographical terrain. With small groups of people to small groups, you should have heard a saying that a sheep led by a heroic army would not dare to peek at the underworld even if it was a group of wild wolves..."

"If you think it's not enough, in addition, there are nearly 250 Wu Ben soldiers in our military academy who are preparing to train for desert plateau survival in the Western Regions. They can also be transferred to the southbound troops. I dare not say anything else, just talk about their individual combat power, survival and reaction ability in the wild, and the cooperation ability of the small group are definitely the elite among the elites of the Tang Dynasty."

"You can consider this method. I have seen those soldiers. I definitely have to fight in such a place. It is their strength to fight in such a region." Uncle Li narrowed his eyes and slapped his mouth.

"Although the soldiers of Jiannan Road have weaker combat power, if they can be trained by the trainees and officers sent by the Tang Military Academy, I can be sure that they must be able to improve the level within three to five months. Moreover, training through actual combat can be accelerated and their combat capabilities." On the side, Su Dingfang also jumped out to speak for me.

"Are you so sure?" Uncle Li Ji couldn't help but ask me. I was very slow, but nodded extremely resolutely: "They have not needed any supplies for more than a year. They have been living and hunting in the southern jungle and practicing various jungle tactics. They are not only brave soldiers, but also small troops commanders with experience in commanding combat. Here is the place where they can best play their strengths. Moreover, they use the power of the Qiang people to fight against the Tubo hostile forces. On the one hand, they can seize the attempt to invade the east of Tubo, and on the other hand, they can also train troops for our Tang Dynasty and lay a military foundation for the future fight against the six tribes of Nanzhao."

I pointed to Guidance Zhao: "Nanzhao also has its own advantages. The terrain here is complex, the climate is humid and hot, the jungle is dense, poisonous insects are everywhere, there are many poisonous miasma, and the people are strong. It is more repulsive to the Han people. However, its shortcomings are more. Just like when I was in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period of China, there were scattered Shaer. The biggest shortcoming of these ethnic minorities is that their productivity is too low. Now they are still people who are slash-and-burn farming and do not follow education."
