At this time, after listening to Yue Fei's affairs in the Western Regions for more than two years, Yingchen couldn't help but nod his head again and again.

Immediately afterwards, Ying Chen directly took out a detailed map of the northwest of Daqin, and then aimed at the area south of the Hexi Corridor, and then drew a circle.

This is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau!

"Here, it is the highest plateau in the world, but this is also a natural barrier that my Great Qin must not lose!"

Following the circle drawn by Yingchen, Yue Fei couldn't help but immediately look over.

At this glance, Yue Fei, who was really there, saw a lot of things.

What kind of character is Yue Fei?

In classical military history, it can be called the top ten existences.

Therefore, whether it is tactical or strategic vision, Yue Fei is definitely the top existence in any era.

Moreover, in fact, as early as when he was running the Western Regions, Yue Fei had already set his sights on this area.

Just when Yue Fei fell into thought, Ying Chen continued: "Come and see!" "

"If this area is separated, then the strategic threat to our Great Qin will be extremely serious!"

"Because of this area, to the north can dominate the Hexi Corridor and cut off the connection between the interior of Great Qin and the Western Regions."

"To the east, you can attack the Bashu region of 147 Great Qin and threaten the hinterland of Great Qin!"

"And if they cross the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, it can even directly affect the overall security situation in our South Vietnamese region."

"From this point of view, not bringing the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau under the rule of Great Qin will bury a huge hidden danger for future generations of Great Qin."

I have to say that at this time, Yingchen's strategic goals have reached a perfect agreement with what Yue Fei thinks and thinks on weekdays.

Historically, one dynasty on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau really posed a great threat to another Central Plains dynasty.

This dynasty that appeared on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was called Tubo.

And this Central Plains Dynasty is also one of the most pinnacle eras of our ancient times, the Tang Dynasty!

Historically, the Tang Dynasty's rule in the northwest and southwest during the Tibetan period posed a great challenge.

Tubo not only directly expelled the forces of the Tang Dynasty from the Western Regions for a time, but even invaded Longxi of the Tang Dynasty and the Sichuan Basin!

At its peak, Tibet's territory stretched from the Green Mountains (present-day Pamir Plateau) and Dashi (i.e., the Arab Empire that arose in Southwest Asia) in the west, to the Longshan Mountains in present-day Gansu Province and the western edge of the Sichuan Basin in the east.

From the south of the Tianshan Mountains in the north, Juyanhai, to the southern foothills of the Tibetan Plateau and the Himalayas in the north of the Indian subcontinent, it even expanded to the Gangetic Plain for a time.

It can be said that this dynasty is also the most prosperous dynasty in the history of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

And now, Yingchen naturally has to be prepared for danger in times of peace.

Since as a traverser, he has long known the importance and threat of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, so if conditions permit, Daqin naturally must unswervingly incorporate the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau into the territory of Daqin.

Immediately afterwards, Yingchen told Yue Fei the opportunity to attack the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau today.

"At the time of my birthday banquet this time, there were several tribes in the Qinghai region who wanted to turn the country into a county and become a part of Great Qin."

"I thought about it carefully and accepted them."

"And the population of these tribes should add up to about tens of thousands, and according to my estimates, the population of the entire Qinghai region should not exceed 400,000 now."

"Next, Daqin will use these tens of thousands of people to pry more than 400,000 herdsmen in the Qinghai region, and then turn them into Daqin's people."

"I've thought about this task carefully, and then I'm ready to hand it over to you."

After hearing Yingchen's words, Yue Fei couldn't help but be shocked.

"The last general will live up to His Majesty's trust!"

Ying Chen nodded, then thought about it again, and couldn't help but admonish: "The social structure of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is still only a slave society, and at the same time, they don't even have bronze smelting technology. (If you read violent novels, you can go to Feilu Novel Network!) )

"So militarily, there is no problem in conquering the Qinghai-Tibet region."

"But the most important thing in the Qinghai-Tibet region is that if people who have been living in the plains or even mountains come here, they will experience headaches, insomnia, loss of appetite, tiredness, difficulty breathing and other symptoms, which are serious and even life-threatening."

"And if you get higher altitude, the more intense the reaction becomes."

"This reaction is what I call altitude sickness."

"So it's not the people here who are stopping us from conquering the Qinghai-Tibet region, it's the climate here."

Hearing this, Yue Fei couldn't help but suddenly realize.

It can only be said that whether it is in his previous life or in this life, Yue Fei has basically never experienced the climate of the plateau region, let alone led troops to fight in the plateau region.

Of course, Yue Fei is also familiar with history books.

Therefore, Yue Fei knew that during the Tang Dynasty, the general Xue Rengui's defeat of Dafeichuan seemed to have occurred in the Qinghai-Tibet region.

Of course, there were many other reasons for that battle, but now it seems that the repetition and harshness of the plateau climate were the biggest challenge for the Tang army.

Otherwise, at the peak of the Tang Army, it would be able to use 20,000 Modao troops in the Western Regions against the terrifying combat power of 200,000 Tubo and Arab coalition forces, even if they encountered the Tubo army, they should still be able to beat the other party.

In addition to his sudden realization, Yue Fei couldn't help but admire Yingchen.

This is the most critical factor in Daqin's strategy of the Qinghai-Tibet region.

If you don't pay attention to this so-called altitude sickness, I'm afraid that once Daqin starts the pace of conquering the Qinghai-Tibet region, even if it doesn't have to go through fierce battles, but non-combat attrition, I'm afraid it will be very serious.

Seeing that Yue Fei understood what he meant, Ying Chen continued: "So for the Qinghai-Tibet region, we have to divide it into three stages to solve. "

"The first stage is to eliminate manpower to receive the tribes that have returned to Great Qin, and then slowly adapt to this reaction."

"In fact, altitude sickness, if you adapt slowly, can slow down or even eliminate."

"In addition to that, we also want to train a native legion of thousands of people from among these tribes as much as possible."

"As a person living on the Tibetan Plateau, these people naturally know how to adapt to this environment and how to fight in this environment."

"Of course, the so-called war, the siege of the city is the bottom, and the attack of the heart is the top!"

"So now you think about it, where is the place where the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau lags behind Daqin the most."
