Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

"The first is our next policy issue. Through the herdsmen, we will spread our plan to Tubo. All the herdsmen who enter Xizhou will be the people of my Tang Dynasty after registration. field."

"The second is the issue of the garrison. My idea is to use Murong Shun to take back part of the land currently occupied by Tubo." Li Ke said with a glance at everyone.

"Which ones to grab?" Xue Wanche asked.

Li Ke stood up, and Yang Anning, who was waiting behind, walked over immediately, and lifted a pair of silk cloth hanging behind Li Ke.

After the silk cloth was lifted, everyone was stunned for a moment. There was a huge map drawn on rice paper hanging there, which was a map of Tubo, Xizhou, Longyou Road and part of the territory of the Tang Dynasty on the east side of Tubo.

"The actual territory controlled by Tubo is here." Li Ke drew a circle on the map. The boundary line between Tibet and Qinghai in later generations is bounded by the Kunlun Mountains, but the territory occupied by Tubo in this world is larger than Tibet. Kunlun The mountain is within the control of Tubo, who controlled part of Qinghai Province in later generations.

"And what we have to do is to snatch back this part of the territory, and then let this line be the boundary between Tubo and us." Li Ke drew an arc on the map.

"Your Highness, do you mean the Kunlun Mountains?" Li Daozong immediately understood what Li Ke meant.

"Yes! If the north of the Kunlun Mountains is our control area, then this means that we only need to control these limited points to limit the Tubo army! Most of the Kunlun Mountains are impassable, only these few points can be passed, and the most important one is here, which I named Tanggula Pass.” Li Ke pointed to the location of Tanggula Pass.

He didn't bother to call this world what he wanted, so he did it according to his own. He was the Protector of Xizhou, and he had the final say.

Xue Wanche and the others looked at the map seriously, and then nodded one after another: "What your highness said is very true. These locations do control all the important places from Tubo. If your highness can use such city building technology to build a strong City, which means that the threat of Tubo will be completely gone."

"Building a city is not difficult, and the scale doesn't need to be too large. A square of 1000 meters is enough. If you find a good pass, you can block most of it with a single city wall." Li Ke nodded, "However, I don't actually want to build a city wall. .”

"Why?" Xue Wanjun asked curiously.

"Because I want to find an opportunity to completely solve Tubo within a few years." Li Ke shook his head and said.

solve it completely?Everyone was stunned for a moment. Tubo is not the same as Tuyuhun. Part of Tuyuhun is a plateau, but the height of many places is not bad, so there is no problem in fighting in the Tang Dynasty. However, the climate and environment in Tubo are really bad. If you want to completely The probability of winning Tubo is very difficult.

"This difficulty is not small. However, if His Highness can train an army composed of Tuyuhun people within a few years, it will not be difficult." Xue Wanche added, "Many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are not suitable for the local area. The climate, this time General Li and General Hou fought on the southern front, quite a few casualties were caused by the environment.”

"Yes." Li Daozong nodded, "Even for me, after going to those places with higher terrain, I was dizzy and dizzy for the first few days, and my head hurt. Many soldiers never woke up after getting sick. Non-combat casualties are at least 800. Our combat effectiveness has dropped sharply."

"No, go to the army to plan, what kind of king is the army, just use your mouth." Li Ke shook his head.

Li Daozong: "?"

Xue Wanche and others: "??"

"I'll talk about this later. You generals have to consider the use of troops. These places don't need too many people. They are mainly cavalry. Three thousand to five thousand are enough. They are mainly stationed at these points. The next task is to There are Tibetan herdsmen entering Xizhou, you all pretend not to see it, but if someone stops them, kill them." Li Ke marked a few key points on the map.

"In this regard, Murong Shun will cooperate with you. I have sent someone to send a letter to Murong Shun. After the herdsmen spread the relevant news to Tubo, Murong Shun will clean up all the nobles in the area north of the Kunlun Mountains."

"But now that I have won a great victory in the Tang Dynasty and the army is in full swing, Songtsan Gampo may not dare to fight. Besides, when the news reaches the Tubo royal court and he makes a decision, he will send troops. If he comes, I will dare to let him go." There is no return." Li Ke sneered.

Now that Xizhou's industrial system has been initially established, if he dares to do it, Li Ke will dare to teach him how to behave.

What's more, Tubo failed to take advantage of Datang's subordinates several times.

"Yes!" Li Daozong and others all said yes.

"Then let's talk about some internal reforms. I'll show you this." Li Ke waved his hand, and Yang Anning brought up a prepared tray, and handed a copy to everyone.

Li Daozong and the others picked up the paper with some curiosity. The quality of the paper was very good, and all kinds of handwriting and patterns were printed on it.

The biggest two words in the middle are: food stamps!

"What is this food stamp for?" Li Daozong and others were a little confused.

"This is very useful." Li Ke smiled strangely, "Because in the future, in places like construction sites, I am not going to cook for them, but instead distribute the food directly to them. Let them cook at home and bring their own food."

"There is no shortage of food after this period of transportation. Similarly, there is no shortage of fish. Several fish ponds have been dug near the Chihai Sea to temporarily raise the fish that have been caught."

"And I plan to place these locations around Qinghai Lake."

"In addition, I will also provide clothes such as burlap and fine linen to these herdsmen, and these can be exchanged for food stamps."

"The reason for this is very simple. There are hundreds of thousands of herdsmen in Tuyuhun. In the future, except for some old people and children left in their respective homes to graze, the rest may need to work for me." Li Ke He said lightly.

"This... can we afford it? We don't have that much money." Li Daozong and others were a little surprised.

"What do you think?" Li Ke glanced at the people around him, then asked with a smile.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, like Xue Wanche, they all felt that they couldn't afford to hire them.

"Your Highness, can I tell you something?" Li Xin who was sitting there suddenly asked.

"Tell me." Li Ke looked over, Li Yan and Li Xin were sitting together, but it was Li Xin who spoke, Li Yan couldn't see anything from her face, she was just taking notes seriously.

"I think I can afford it." Li Xin said.

"Come on, come here and tell them something." Li Ke waved to Li Xin.

Li Xin is also very courageous, anyway, the third brother is here, and the third brother is the boss, so the others will naturally have no objections.
