Chapter 262 The Importance of Qinghai

The generals looked at Li Jing's solemn expression, but looked at Li Jing with some confusion.

After all, in the eyes of everyone, Li Tai is the king of Yan, and he was lucky enough to get Murong Fuyun, but it is definitely not enough to convince the killing embryos present.

After all, strictly speaking, Li Tai's behavior is to pick up cheap, rather than gnawing down on this tough bone head-on.

However, strictly speaking, I belonged to the same front as these embryo killers. If the reasons for fighting could be more sufficient, then these generals would not object to Li Tai's words, and even wished Li Tai could say more.

But Li Tai didn't consider it so carefully, but as long as Li Tai was sure that what he did did not violate the interests of the vast majority of the army, it was enough.

Li Tai continued: "In terms of military affairs, Tuyuhun's attack on our Liangzhou and other places proved that if we want to defend Hexi, we must defend the Hehuang Valley.

The gap between Hehuang Valley and Qinghai Lake is quite large, and Qinghai Lake has a natural advantage in attacking Hehuang Valley.

If we do not have a foothold in Qinghai Lake, then the Hehuang Valley may be disturbed by the gradually recovering local tribes.

Therefore, between the end of the Hehuang Valley and Qinghai Lake, there must be a place that can become an important barrier for our Tang Dynasty to defend the Hehuang Valley. "

"King Yan? Here in the Hehuang Valley, compared to our Guanzhong, it is almost a place of bitter cold.

The places I have passed, not to mention inaccessible, are at least quite barren. Is it worth stationing troops here? " Li Daozong asked.

"It's so far away, just because a Tuyuhun can be raised here, it's worth our Tang Dynasty's garrison here!"

Li Tai said, "Otherwise, after the extermination, the Tuyuhun or similar tribes will make a comeback in a few years, so what's the point of today's war if it only exchanged for 20 years of peace!"

Hearing Li Tai's words, the conscious soldiers present couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

After all, in their opinion, 20 years of peace is quite good, but from Li Tai's mouth, it is so calm.

On the other hand, Li Jing continued to Li Tai, "Is it because of the consideration of protecting Hexi?"

Li Tai shook his head and said: "In addition to protecting Hexi, there is another consideration because of Tubo!"

"Yan Wang thinks that Tubo will become a threat to my Tang Dynasty?" Li Jing couldn't help asking when he heard Li Tai's words.

In the eighth year of Zhenguan, Songtsan Gampo sent envoys to Tang Dynasty to pay tribute and requested marriage with Tang Dynasty. Tang Taizong sent envoy Feng Dexia to Tubo.

So all the generals present knew the existence of Tubo, but no one really cared about this place.

Because Princess Shang in the Tang Dynasty can be said to be the Tang Dynasty’s greatest importance to a Fanbang, and Fanbang who cannot be Princess Shang is basically regarded as a low-level existence. .

In other words, Princess Shang of the Tang Dynasty was not the kind of marriage in the Han Dynasty that could not be beaten, so she slowed down first, and continued to fight when she was relieved.

Instead, Datang said to Fanbang around him that you are considered to be in the top right now, and you are qualified to be my son.

This can actually be seen from many places. For example, Xue Yantuo, who started his business by eating the corpses of Eastern Turks, has basically become a peak kingdom. The first thing he has to do is to find Princess Shang of the Tang Dynasty.

And Li Shimin said, I don't want to accept you as a younger brother, and the marriage between the two parties fell through because of etiquette.

After that, the tribes who resisted Xue Yantuo on the grassland came one after another, and Li Shimin wiped out Xue Yantuo when he saw the time was right.

Of course, Tubo also understood that Princess Shang was a sign that he could be the younger brother of Datang, and then went to Datang to ask for Princess Shang, because Li Shimin felt that Tubo was far away from the emperor and had little to do with Datang, so there was nothing interest.

But from Tubo's point of view, Tuyuhun, a bastard, can honor the princess, so why can't he.

Then he beat Tuyuhun so violently that he was almost wiped out, and fought with Datang again, using his strength to show that he was qualified to become a princess.

But Li Shimin, out of overall strategic considerations, especially since Tuyuhun couldn't even guard his own west side, would it be better to change to a younger brother, but he also admitted that Tubo became the younger brother of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, after Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, the west side of the Tang Dynasty settled down, and the Tang Dynasty was able to deal with Goguryeo wholeheartedly.

But now Datang hasn't fought against Tubo, so no one knows Tubo's strength, let alone think that Tubo will be more difficult to deal with than Western Turks, so even Li Jing feels that Li Tai is a little too careful, but it's just Tubo .

However, it is better for a soldier to pay attention to his opponent, and Li Jing did not stand up to refute Li Tai's words.

Li Tai saw that everyone present didn't care much about Tubo, so he didn't need to continue to emphasize this point, but continued, "As for the third, isn't the "Grass Seed Project" finally selected for implementation in foreign regions.

Now that Tuyuhun has been defeated, it is just a place for experimentation. Especially if they are defeated, we can ask for anything from Tuyuhun. I just want a little land from them and try to cultivate grass. It shouldn't be too much.

Especially when the time is getting closer to March, it is just right to plant the fields after laying the ground, and it will not delay the farming time. "

Hearing Li Tai's words, Li Jing nodded, but he also understood Li Tai's meaning.

At least in Li Jing's view, the third point is Li Tai's real goal. After all, the "Grass Seed Project" will eventually be carried out on aliens.

Although it was because of the sage that the prince cut off the beard, King Yan finally saw the way to break the game, or put the bet on himself, thinking that he had the ability to calm Tuyuhun in a short time, so he followed him decisively.

But now that Murong Fuyun was pierced by thousands of arrows, most of the war in Tuyuhun was won. If it was the usual situation, Datang might not be rare on these lands.

Normally speaking, Tuyuhun would go back after he had plundered and subdued him, but now King Yan wanted to build a city here to educate the people.

If this is the case, after he has completely defeated Tuyuhun, the King of Yan may also take advantage of the situation to educate Tuyuhun.

At least compared to the unconquered areas, Tuyuhun is easier to manage than the alien races in other places.

"Okay! Since everyone has decided to continue to send troops to Beihai, then you all go back and wait for your sword. Three days later, the vanguard will go first!" Li Jing's eyes turned around, and finally fell on Li Daozong, saying, "Then King Li, this time it will be Let me be the vanguard!"

"No!" Hearing Li Jing's arbitrary decision, Li Daozong quickly agreed, and looked at Hou Junji with a bit of complacency.

And Hou Junji only snorted softly. After all, although he did not win Murong Fuyun, he had the meritorious service of winning Shancheng. Apart from Li Tai, he was also the best in the whole army. Let Li Daozong be the vanguard first.

At this time, Li Jing also wrote the results of the discussion between the generals and Li Tai's idea of ​​wanting a piece of land from Beihai to Hehuang in the military newspaper, stamped the seal and sent it back to Chang'an.

Of course, not only Li Jing, but even Li Tai himself sent a memorial to Li Shimin.

At the beginning, I wrote a head-up article, but this time I squeezed out about [-] words and explained the reason.

Li Tai breathed a sigh of relief after sending out the memorial to Li Shimin in an expedited manner.

To be honest, during the discussion just now, Li Tai understood that he had retained some, the most important of which was altitude sickness, the natural advantages and curses of Tubo.

Because of altitude sickness, Tubo has obtained the greatest security guarantee, but also because of altitude sickness, Tubo's ability to attack neighboring countries is actually very limited.

But waiting for Tubo to occupy the land that is now Tuyuhun, the disturbance of Hexi will definitely cause Tang Dynasty a headache.

But no matter how you say it, if you don't solve this problem, basically you can't destroy Tubo.

This is also the reason for occupying a piece of land here in Qinghai. I need to slowly select soldiers who are not afraid of altitude sickness, or who can adapt to altitude sickness very quickly.

And this thing can only be overcome by genes in this era, and another way to say something like genes is fate.

And it is inconvenient for me to say this at the military meeting, after all, I have never been to Qinghai, and now that I have said these things, other people may not believe it.

Even if other people believe it, but you don't come up with a solution, but simply ask a question, it's just trying to annoy people, and it doesn't make any sense, after all, how can people pay attention to such things as altitude sickness.

However, Li Tai found Liu Shenwei instead.

I have to say that after being busy these days, Liu Shenwei can be said to have lost a lot of weight, but after the time of fighting against the god of death has passed, the next work in the medical camp is a lot easier after all.

"I've seen King Yan." Liu Shenwei saluted Li Tai respectfully when he saw Li Tai.

And Li Tai nodded, and said, "How is the treatment of the wounded, and how is the consumption of medicinal materials? Is there enough follow-up?"

Liu Shenwei replied to Li Tai, "Reporting to King Yan, after these few days of rescue, the soldiers can basically save seven out of ten.
As for the seriously wounded or disabled wounded, they are afraid that they will not be able to keep up with the action of the army, so they will temporarily settle down in Shancheng!

Although I buy medicinal materials locally, the local medicinal materials are quite different from those in the Central Plains. Regardless of the nature of the medicine or the dosage, it needs to be identified slowly.

Even if there are some medicinal materials with the same attribute, they still need to be processed for a long time, and the remaining medicinal materials are only about the original six layers! "

Although medicinal materials can theoretically be picked on the same day, they can be used on the same day, but to maintain their medicinal properties for a long time, a certain degree of technical processing is required.

The medicinal materials carried by Liu Shenwei and others are more ground into powder, which has a longer shelf life while maintaining the medicinal properties. moon.

If it weren't for the establishment of a large area of ​​medicine gardens in Zhengbaiqu, the establishment of medical camps would often be difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Behind the entire medical camp, the entire medical material system is actually supporting it.

"Leave a group of medical camps to take care of them. As for the medicinal materials, there should be enough. After all, we have overcome the most difficult level. I dare not say that the next war will be won, but at least it will be much easier."

Hearing Liu Shenwei's words, Li Tai explained the current situation to Liu Shenwei. Having said this, he thought for a while and said,
"I heard that there is usually miasma on the high mountains, and the army will need to climb to Qinghai next, so I feel a little worried.

You are proficient in medicine, so go to the local shaman to ask if there is any earth method that can cure the miasma, preferably some medicinal materials that can be collected locally.

After all, we don't produce targeted drugs, it's better to be fully prepared before the army sets off! "

"No!" Liu Shenwei immediately agreed when he heard Li Tai's words.

For Liu Shenwei, solving the miasma encountered on the road is also one of the meanings of the existence of the medical camp.

Although I don't know why Yan Wang is quite sure about this matter, but compared to other arrogant warriors, Liu Shenwei can be said to be brought out by Li Tai.

As long as the purpose is good, many orders from Li Tai can be given to him without explanation, and Liu Shenwei will do it too.

And Liu Shenwei wouldn't ask too many questions, after all, along the way, Liu Shenwei continued to build the medical dormitory system and the medical camp by himself.

Liu Shenwei really felt that the beautiful future that King Yan had drawn for him was realized little by little.

Although the original King Yan was indeed painting cakes, after all these years, this cake was really made by King Yan, so why didn't he continue to trust King Yan.

Maybe he didn't understand the decision made by King Yan, but it must be correct.

As Liu Shenwei went to find local methods and related talents, Li Tai found Tian Changgeng again.

"Jijiu, are you looking for me?" Tian Changgeng did a student salute when he saw Li Tai.

Li Tai motioned to avoid the courtesy, and said, "While the army is free, I need you to bring some students who are good at farming to find commonly used crops in the Hehuang Valley, such as staple food, fruit side dishes, and livestock feed, all collected one by one. come over.

Make specimens that can be made into specimens, and those that are not suitable for making specimens, find an excellent painter to record them all! "

When Tian Changgeng heard this, he nodded to Li Tai and said, "I will just follow my instructions, and I will find someone to do it with me!"

Li Tai nodded, then patted Tian Changgeng on the shoulder and said,

"You are meticulous in your work, and I will rest assured that I will leave it to you. Before we set off for Qinghai, give this to me!"

"No!" Tian Changgeng immediately replied to Li Tai when he heard Li Tai's words.

Because the thermometers and hygrometers in this era have not yet been researched, and the most direct way to know the local rainfall level is to see what the food cultivated by the local people is.

To be honest, for Li Tai, the best local staple food is wheat, so that Gaoling students can directly arrange to come here.

But if the main crops are highland barley or barley, I am afraid that I will have to let people study here again. The cultivation methods of these two things, if we want to develop from Qinghai to Hehuang Valley, I am afraid that it will take a while.

After all, without food as the foundation, any other reforms are not impossible, but once they fail, they must pay the price!
While Li Tai was thinking about how to develop Qinghai to the Hehuang Valley in the future, Li Tai and Li Jing's memorial was also rushed to Li Shimin.

After all, he had already defeated Murong Fuyun, gnawed down this tough bone, and basically laid the foundation for the entire battle situation.

If you want Tuyuhun to surrender completely, you still have to continue to lead the army to attack Qinghai Lake.

But reporting this military exploit to the imperial court can be regarded as ironclad good news.
