This time.
The reason why Li Chengqian chose to lead the team personally was for two reasons.
One is that there are too few people in the team who can lead the team to complete this task alone.
Of course, it can also be said that there are too few available generals around him.
Liu Qi needs to command the entire army, Feng Guangyao needs to be in charge of the army, and Cheng Huailiang has been in charge of logistics work.
As for Changsun Chong and Li Tingxue, it's even simpler. They are still in charge of Wuzhou until now.
So in the end, this task can only fall on himself.
Of course, this is not the most important thing.
The most important thing is that he has never been to Jianshan in his past life.
I happened to pass by and took a look at it from a distance on the highway, but I wasn't very impressed.
But this time, his primary goal in breaking through Jianmen Pass was to understand the terrain.
After all, as the commander-in-chief of the army, only by truly understanding the terrain can he be victorious in every battle.
After the successful sneak attack, Li Chengqian immediately started preparations as soon as he took his people back to the military camp.
First, he asked the craftsmen accompanying the army to repair the previous strategic sand table based on his own memory and what he saw and heard.
Then, Li Chengqian looked directly at Han Qilue beside him and said: "Old Han, go and notify Cheng Hualiang."
"Just what I said, two fingers thick hemp rope, I want three thousand kilograms."
"Whether he steals, robs, or buys, he must deliver it to me within five days. Do you understand?"
After hearing his words, Han Qilue almost subconsciously responded.
However, Han Qilue reacted immediately.
He looked at Li Chengqian blankly and said, "Your Highness, why do you need so much hemp rope?"
"You don't have to worry about it. I just have my own uses for it."
Li Chengqian thought for a moment and then said: "You also go with Xiao Cheng. Remember to check the quality of the hemp rope and make sure it doesn't break."
"Three hemp ropes tied together can at least be able to hoist our Zhenguan Cannon."
Hearing this, Han Qi was slightly stunned.
At that moment, he also somewhat realized what Li Chengqian meant.
So, without saying anything more, he just ran outside.
It was also a good time.
Today is the day when Cheng Huailiang comes to deliver food and supplies.
When Han Qilue ran up to him, Cheng Huailiang smiled innocently.
He looked directly at Han Qilue and said: "Old Han, I heard that your boy has become successful. Yesterday, you accompanied our Highness to order the Shu thieves' granary?"
What Li Chengqian did was not a small move, and it naturally spread quickly.
And this is already a rare victory for Datang.
After all, Jianmen Pass is a tough nut to crack, and everyone knows it.
It's considered good if you can find a bargain from them.
And Han Qilue didn't have time to be polite to him.
After just saying a few words, he got to the point.
He repeated everything Li Chengqian said to Cheng Hualiang.
Cheng Huailiang was also a little confused.
What is your highness thinking?
It's broad daylight, are you dreaming?
He could find two fingers of hemp rope.
After all, hemp rope is not a rare item.
But one breath costs three thousand kilograms. Where should he get it?
And given only five days, even if it was freshly made, it would not be able to produce so much.
Cheng Huailiang took a deep breath, threw the reins to Han Qilue and said, "I'll go talk to His Highness. This is too embarrassing."
With that said, he didn't care what Han Qilue's expression was and walked straight towards the Chinese military tent.
The first thing he said after seeing Li Chengqian was: "Your Highness, you are deliberately making things difficult for me, Xiao Cheng."
"Things like hemp rope are very common, but for me, Xiaocheng, to get three thousand kilograms at once, I have to go and get it..."
Li Chengqian didn't pay attention to his complaints.
He raised his hand and pointed at the sand table in front of him and said, "Do you know where this place is?"
Hearing this, Cheng Huailiang was stunned.
He walked forward with a confused look on his face, followed Li Chengqian's fingers, and said: "Dajian Mountain..."
"That's right."
"This is Dajian Mountain."
"On Dajian Mountain, there is another level called Jianmen Pass."
Li Chengqian looked up at Cheng Hualiang and said, "Do you know how many brothers we will have to lose if we want to attack Jianmen Pass from the front?"
Cheng Hualiang shook his head.
Like Li Chengqian, he had only heard of Jianmen Pass before and had never personally experienced the battle at Jianmen Pass.
Naturally, he didn't know how many brothers he would have to lose if he wanted to break through Jianmen Pass.
Li Chengqian did not directly tell him a clear number.
He raised his hand and pointed outside the tent, saying: "If we really attack Jianmen Pass, the brothers you can see in front of you may not be able to return home."
Hearing this, Cheng Hualiang couldn't help biting his lip.
He understood what Li Chengqian meant.
If Jianmen Pass is to be attacked by force, the 30,000 brothers outside will basically die outside Jianmen Pass.
He looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Then, does His Highness mean to withdraw the troops? Or take a detour?"
"neither."
Li Chengqian smiled slightly.
"Sometimes, people are limited by the difficulties they face."
“But if you just turn your head a little bit and change your thinking, you can open up new worlds.”
He said: "Before, people said that Jianshan was unreachable."
"But your Highness, didn't you take people to the southern foot of Jian Mountain to kill people and back?"
As he spoke, Li Chengqian raised his hand and pointed to another part of the strategic sand table.
Where is the place where he took people to climb yesterday.
You know, the overall altitude of Jianshan is very high.
Otherwise, Jianmen Pass would not seem so important.
However, the mountain peaks are undulating with peaks and ridges. Where there are high places, there are naturally low places.
The place where Li Chengqian led his team to climb yesterday was the low-lying part of Jianshan Mountain.
Compared with the highest peak of Jianshan Mountain, it is one-tenth higher. As long as there are a few hemp ropes, you can climb it without any rock climbing skills.
Therefore, Li Chengqian's mind began to spin from the moment he climbed onto Jianshan Mountain.
Since there is somewhere to go.
Why use the lives of soldiers to forcefully break through Jianmen Pass?
Li Chengqian looked at Cheng Huailiang and said, "Jianshan is a good place."
"As long as you can occupy the commanding heights, you can ensure your advantage."
"And the Shu army relied on this to stop us at Jianmen Pass, preventing us from entering Shu."
"If that's the case, then why can't we take advantage of the location of Jianshan Mountain?"
Li Chengqian raised his lips and said, "Has anyone ever stipulated that the attacking side cannot take advantage of geographical advantages?"
After hearing what Li Chengqian said, Cheng Hualiang also suddenly realized.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I, Xiao Cheng, will never hold you back."
"The three thousand kilograms of hemp rope you want will be delivered to you within five days."
Cheng Huailiang was also willing to risk it.
Even if he was punished by Li Shimin when he returned, even if he was beaten severely by his own father, he would admit it.
After all, His Highness is eager to create history.
And how could he let His Highness's ambitions be blocked by this small hemp rope?
Hear his words.
Li Chengqian raised his hand and patted his shoulder, saying: "Go ahead, I believe in your ability."
Hearing this, Cheng Hualiang nodded heavily.
Just when he was about to turn around and leave.
Li Chengqian suddenly stopped him: "By the way Huai Liang, there is someone in my camp."
"Remember to take him with you when you leave and ask my sister to take him to the capital..."
