Looking at Li Tingxue's serious expression, Li Chengqian paused.
In an instant, Li Chengqian understood what Li Tingxue meant.
He couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "Sister, I have grown up..."
Li Tingxue's purpose in doing this was simply to get these people to help Li Chengqian when he felt soft.
Otherwise, if Li Ke survives, Li Chengqian will face more troubles.
And Li Tingxue didn't want his younger brother to fall into those troublesome whirlpools.
So she chose to help him at this time.
However, Li Tingxue and Li Chengqian are different.
Li Tingxue was the daughter of the former crown prince, and was not favored by Li Shimin.
It was also in these years that Li Shimin changed his impression of her because of her continuous help to Li Chengqian.
Thus, she was promoted from the original princess to the position of princess today.
But the change of position doesn't mean everything.
Once Li Ke dies in the hands of Li Tingxue's men, both the infamy and the crime will fall on her.
A prince, even if he raises a flag to rebel, is still the son of the emperor.
And what is the result of killing the emperor's son? Do we need to say more?
What's more, Li Ke's legacy is not only the royal family's relationship, but also the Yang family's relationship?
By then, even if Li Shimin doesn't pursue the case, the Yang family will target Li Tingxue in every possible way...
And how could Li Chengqian bear to let his sister sacrifice himself for him.
He said directly: "I am so old, how can I still hide behind my sister?"
"Besides, my brother doesn't need your sister to sacrifice for me like this anymore..."
Hearing this, Li Tingxue chuckled.
"Only if he dies can you be the prince with peace of mind and work hard for your dreams."
"Although, this could get you into trouble."
"But is your sister afraid of trouble?"
She raised her hand and patted Li Chengqian's shoulder and said: "As long as you are good and as long as you can make the people of Tang Dynasty live a good life, my sister is not afraid of all this..."
She is not afraid of anything.
She just wants her brother to live well.
As long as her brother can live a good life, she is willing to do anything for her.
This is Li Tingxue.
A woman who is both domineering and stupid...
And what else can Li Chengqian say?
He could only keep this affection in his heart.
If there is a chance in the future, I will just repay my sister twice as much.
Finally, after a short discussion in the Chinese military tent.
Li Chengqian took 30,000 soldiers of the Liangzhou Army and set out for the Shu Road.
Li Tingxue, on the other hand, led the remaining 70,000 people to stay in place and continue to improve the logistics work.
…
Looking at ancient and modern times, how many people want the territory of Shu.
But how many of them succeed in the end?
Shu is surrounded by mountains.
If you want to enter Shu, you can either go upstream and enter Shu from the Yangtze River.
Or you have to go through Jianmenguan.
Entering Sichuan by water is a fantasy.
Going upstream will not only affect the speed of the navy, but will also put you in a situation where you are targeted by the opponent's army.
After all, there were no ultra-long-range weapons in this era like the later Katyusha.
They were unable to form a crushing advantage over the Army.
The Army can, in turn, interfere with them in various ways.
For example, use terrain to set up barriers for fleets.
For example, use your own artillery to cause devastating blows to the fleet.
Moreover, the Liangzhou Army is not a team that is good at water fighting.
After all, from the beginning, they were famous for their close combat on land.
So this time, they had to go overland no matter what.
You must pass through these checkpoints step by step from Shu Road, Longmen Mountain, and Jianmen Pass.
However, Li Chengqian also knew that the Longmen Mountain around Jianmen Pass was steep and the terrain was complicated.
Even to that time in his previous life, it had not yet been overcome.
He still remembered that when building highways at that time, he still had to go around this dangerous area to continue the project.
And in such an era of highly developed technology, it is still impossible to conquer the mountain below.
Comparing the two aspects, in today's era, the steepness of Longmen Mountain is a natural chasm, a place that people cannot cross at all.
And Li Chengqian was prepared for this from the beginning.
Although Longmen Mountain is very dangerous, as long as you turn southeast, you can enter the relatively low-lying Jianshan Mountain area.
Although the mountainous area of Jianshan Mountain is also extremely steep, there is still a Jianmen Pass guarding the chokepoint.
But compared with Longmen Mountain, Jianshan is a place where individuals can walk.
The only difficulty is the logistics.
Transportation logistics will take a long time, and the cost of transportation will be much higher than in ordinary land battles.
But there is no way.
Now that the fight has begun, these are things that can be ignored.
And Li Chengqian is also ready for a head-on confrontation with Li Ke here.
But, the idea is beautiful.
When he arrived at Jiange and saw the majestic mountains, he was still so shocked by the sight in front of him that he was speechless for a long time.
As the saying goes, it's better to be famous than to meet once.
Only when you see the dangers of Longmen Mountain with your own eyes can you understand the feeling of powerlessness.
No wonder Xiang Yu, a hero like Cao Cao, has never fought against Shu in his entire life...
The terrain of Longmen Mountain alone is enough to block a million-strong army.
"Burn the Broken Sword Gate on the plank road, and Xichuan will be completely different..."
"At first, I just thought the ancients exaggerated the dangers of the Shu Road."
Li Chengqian couldn't help but sigh: "But when we met today, I realized that these words just now were not just words."
"My father told me before that as long as someone can occupy this place, he can encircle it and become the king. I don't believe it either."
Changsun Chong on the side also nodded and said: "But today I see that this is definitely not a lie..."
"It doesn't matter now whether it's a lie or not."
"We have to quickly think of a way to break through the sword gate."
Li Chengqian lowered his head and looked at the map in front of him, thinking quietly.
Looking back on the history of wars against Sichuan in past dynasties, Jianmen Pass is indeed easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Jianmen Pass is located between Dajian Mountain and Xiaojian Mountain.
The natural pass, which is only a hundred steps wide at its narrowest point, is the most natural pass in the world.
Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms, built a stone pass here and called it Jiange Pass or Jiange Pass.
From the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, people began to call this place Jianmenguan.
Looking at ancient and modern times, this place has never been attacked frontally in a real sense.
Even when some countries established in Shu were destroyed, Jianmen Pass still existed.
But these people all chose not to enter Jianmen Pass, but directly entered Shu.
For example, Deng Ai entered Shu via the Yinping Road, and Wang Quanbin entered Shu via the Su Xiaodao.
Of course, there is also the strategic detour of Meng Ge running to Yunnan and then entering Shu.
However, the premise of these successful cases is that they can form a crushing situation against the opponent, or they will only occur when they have an advantage.
After all, fighting a war doesn't just mean having people, there also needs to be logistical supplies.
Once you run into the alley, all your own logistics supplies will be exposed under the eyes of the other party.
When the time comes, it would be strange if the Shu army doesn't come out and beat me on my own ass.
So the logistics requirements for this matter are too high. Not everyone can play it...
For a time, Li Chengqian was also entangled.
