The map on the screen was of course drawn by Lu Xiaoning based on the historical atlas, and it also showed the core area of Tibetan's Tibet Siro, as well as the peripheral vassal states of Supirru, Nibala, Xiangxiong, and Yang.
To the east, north and west is Tang Dynasty, and to the south of Tubo is Tianzhu.
Feng Changqing, Li Siye, Duan Xiushi and others couldn't help but be amazed when they saw it.
Wei Shiyao, Ado Peluo and other Hu leaders were all stunned.
Nothing else, because this map is so detailed and clear.
Adopero even saw the territory of the Tuscan cavalry in the northwest corner of the map.
"What a pity." Feng Changqing sighed sadly, "If this map could have been obtained five years ago, Tubo might have been destroyed long ago."
"It's not too late to get this map." Cui He (Lu Xiaoning) paused for a moment and then said, "If nothing else, Tubo Zan Puchidai Zhudan has also learned about the tragic defeat of the Yangtong Army in the Sailu Valley. According to the news, the troops sent by Yang Tongbu were not ordered by Chidai Zhudan, so he would not raise troops to retaliate against the Tang Dynasty for Yang Tongbu. He also had no ability to retaliate, because at this time, Tubo was already suffering from internal and external troubles, and the country might fall apart. "
Feng Changqing also agreed with this judgment.
From Feng Changqing's height, it was natural to see that Tubo was currently in a very bad situation, as it was continuously attacked by the Longyou Army and the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty in the north and west directions, and was losing consecutive battles. The country of Little Bolu was lost in the northwest, the land of Jiuqu was lost in the northeast, now Big Bolu was also lost, and Tuyuhun was about to be lost too.
In such a situation, foreign troubles are already extremely serious, and internal troubles are bound to follow.
Because since ancient times, internal and external troubles have been twins, and they have always gone hand in hand.
Thinking of this, Feng Changqing's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the Anxi Army really had a chance to conquer the Tubo Kingdom? If the Anxi Army really defeated the Tubo Kingdom, his title of Changqing would be enough to rank alongside Su Dingfang, Li Jing and other famous generals, and leave his name in history!
But soon, Feng Changqing gave up this idea because it was too difficult to defeat Tubo.
Lu Xiaoning: "The population of Tubo is less than a fraction of the Tang Dynasty, but its territory is extremely vast. It is five thousand miles from east to west and two thousand miles from north to south. There are hundreds of large and small kingdoms in the country. If we fight all the way, it will be thousands. There are many obstacles, and the supply of food and grass along the way is also a huge problem."
Hearing this, Feng Changqing breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Master Lu Tianshi is also very clear-headed.
He knew very well that the fighting between mortals was not the fighting between immortals.
Feng Changqing was really worried when he heard Lu Tianshi said that he would send troops to attack Tubo. He was worried that Lu Tianshi had just come to the mortal world, knew nothing about human military affairs, and had no ability to move mountains and reclaim seas, so the situation would be very difficult.
Now it seems that his worries are unnecessary. Lu Tianshi actually knows the difficulty of attacking Tubo.
Cen Shen echoed: "What Lu Tianshi said is absolutely true. It is precisely because Tubo has a vast territory and dangerous roads on the snow-covered plateau that the sages have formulated a national policy of protracted attack, that is, through twenty to thirty years, from They continued to attack Tubo from many directions such as Anxi, Longyou and even Jiannan, consuming its national power and weakening its military strength. When it weakened to a certain extent, heavy troops were mobilized and drove straight into Luozou from the Longyou direction to completely attack and destroy it."
Lu Xiaoning said: "Li Longji still had strategic foresight and strong execution ability when he was young. The national policy of peace and Tibet he set is still very powerful. If it were not for the rebellion, this plan would have been realized. It is a pity."
Hearing Lu Xiaoning mention the rebellion again, Feng Changqing couldn't help it anymore and asked: "Master Lu Tianshi, the rebellion you are talking about..."
Lu Xiaoning did not want to mention the Anshi Rebellion, because in his plan, the Anshi Rebellion had changed from a big trouble before to an excuse for the Anxi Army to enter the power center of the Tang Dynasty.
What's more, the Anshi Rebellion was not that easy to stop.
The outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion has a very complicated historical background.
Is Li Longji really not worried that An Lushan will rebel? He was actually worried too.
But Li Longji still handed over the three vassal towns to An Lushan, and even handed over the horse administration to An Lushan. The reason was very simple. Li Longji had to drink one of the two glasses of poisonous wine. He would rather An Lushan rebelled. , and will never allow the aristocratic family members and the suture monsters of the imperial examination gentry group to control the military power of the Tang Dynasty.
Because in Li Longji's view, An Lushan's rebellion was not harmful.
However, the alliance between the aristocratic families and the imperial examination gentry has already taken control of the political and financial power of the Tang Dynasty. Once the military power of each vassal town is also seized by them, the Tang Dynasty will soon change their surnames.
Unfortunately, Li Longji was a little overconfident this time.
But before things happened, Li Longji didn't think so.
So it is useless for anyone to persuade him now, because Li Longji believes that it is the foundation of Li Tang to reuse Hu people.
At that moment, Lu Xiaoning interrupted Feng Changqing and said: "Let's not talk about the rebellion. Let's just talk about Tubo. If the Anxi Army follows the northern foot of the Snow Mountain and fights southeast from Dabolu Kingdom, Xiangxiong, and Zhuoshute, It is indeed a wishful thinking to defeat Tibet and finally destroy Tubo. Even with the presence of this heavenly master, it is absolutely impossible to achieve it."
Li Siye frowned and said, "But if we don't march along this route, which route should we take? We can't march thousands of miles away and march from Dafeichuan by detouring from Tuyuhun's hometown, right?"
"That's definitely not possible." Lu Xiaoning said, "Let's go here, Qiangtang Road."
"What? Qiangtang Road?" Feng Changqing, Li Siye, Cen Shen and others suddenly changed their expressions. Qiangtang is a barren land with almost no human habitation for thousands of miles. The key is that there is no drinking water source. How to get there?
Qiangtang is now a large no-man's land between Naqu and Ngari.
Even in the 21st century, China's population has exceeded 1.4 billion, and there are still large areas of uninhabited land in Hoh Xil and Qiangtang, so you can imagine what Qiangtang was like more than a thousand years ago.
At that time, the area of no man's land was at least one or two thousand miles in radius.
In such a vast no-man's land, how can the army be supplied with food and grass?
There are also people and horses drinking water, and the number of water sources in the Gobi Desert is very scarce.
Although there are lakes, most of them are salt water lakes and are not drinkable.
At this time, Feng Changqing finally couldn't help but question: "Master Lu Tianshi, I'm afraid it's not possible to walk through Qiangtang, right?"
Cen Shen, Duan Xiushi, Li Siye and even Lu Wen also nodded subconsciously. They all agreed with Feng Changqing's judgment that it was definitely impossible to walk through the Qiangtang. No one could cross the Qiangtang.
…
At this time, in the political hall of Hongshan Palace in Luosue.
The nine political ministers of the Tubo Empire, also known as prime ministers, have gathered in the political hall to discuss how to deal with the defeat of Selüburg. Should they launch a large army to retaliate, or directly send people to sue for peace?
Or use force as a backing and then make peace?
"Retaliation is necessary!" Prime Minister Dongzebu said impassionedly, "King Yangtong sent troops without Zanpu's will. This is indeed a serious crime, but in any case Yangtong is a vassal state of Tubo. If Tubo allows its vassal The country was bullied by the Tang Dynasty and remained indifferent, so what did the other vassal states think?"
Another prime minister, Mei Se, also echoed: "This is not only a face issue, but also a major issue of life and death for Tubo. The Anxi Army will never stop advancing after defeating the Yangtong Army. They will definitely continue along the northern foot of the Snow Mountain." If we advance to the southeast, both Xiangxiong and Yangtong may suffer military disasters. If Yangtong is attacked and destroyed by the Anxi army, the door to Weizang will be completely open, and the Anxi army can directly threaten Luoche in the next step!"
Tubo Zanputan Daizhudan did not rush to express his position.
Chi Dai Zhu Dan was actually only fifty-one years old and had been in office for fifty-one years.
However, Dandaizhudan already looks like a seventy-year-old man. First, the wind and snow on the plateau make people grow old, and secondly, he has been too busy with national affairs. Especially in the past ten years, Chidaizhudan has aged very quickly.
Chidaizhudan knew very well that Dong Zebu and Mei Se wanted to take the opportunity to gain military power.
But he is not in a hurry. Although his prestige is not as good as before, it is not something they can shake.
In the end, Da Lun Zhong Bajie suppressed Dongzebu and the two of them without even using Chi Dai Zhu Dan to take action.
The final result was that General Dazalukong led Ye Ru to the Yangtong Kingdom. The first thing he did was severely punish the Yangtong royal family. The second thing was to apologize to the Anxi Army and make peace. If the Anxi Army insisted on continuing to advance, he would block it. In the territory of Yangtong State, Chi Dai Zhudan will personally lead Sanru to reinforce.
