Tang Dynasty good brother

Chapter 423
When he came to the living room, Qin Hao bowed his hands to the samurai Xun very politely and apologized. Although the two had already talked about their in-laws, after all, age and seniority were at stake, and Qin Hao still had to perform the junior ceremony.

The samurai Xun didn't care either. He had guarded the southwest for more than five years, but he had always been a businessman. Guard, while defending militarily, while infiltrating culturally and economically, they cut their flesh with soft knives.

But Tubo is honest, for such a long time, there has been no large-scale banditry, which made him even suspect that the court was so cautious and nervous, whether it was overkill.

Now, as he gets older and his body gets older, he wants to go back to Chang'an more and more. Although he is a feudal official in the southwest, he doesn't need to look at other people's colors, but no matter how developed Xining is, after all, he still wants to go back to Chang'an. It is not as prosperous as Chang'an, and the harsh weather conditions are not very suitable for the elderly.

If Li Shimin can come to a big game at such a time and make some contributions, even if Li Shimin doesn't want to see him anymore, this false title must always be given high. To be honest, he really doesn't care about real power now. If he can mix with a genuine first-class pensioner like Sikong, and then give a posthumous gift to the prince and Taibao, he will be able to smile at Jiuquan even after he dies.

Anyway, the samurai Xun and Qin Hao chatted impassionedly for half an hour, and the core idea was actually one sentence: Whatever you want to do, the man will risk his life to the end.

Hehe, I don't know how he will react if he finds out that the boss behind the Devil's Cult is his wife.

Qin Hao was not polite to him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ying has been in the southwest border for more than five years, and he should be more aware of the situation there than I am. I wonder how much you know about the altitude sickness on Tubo .”

The samurai sighed and said, "It's very powerful. What Datang is afraid of is nothing more than the so-called altitude sickness. Other so-called terrains are not to be feared by our Iron Army of Datang. I have tried it myself, and it is indeed The dizziness is severe, and even some weak soldiers, not to mention going to Tubo, have to be raised in Xining City for several months before they can get used to it, and it is estimated that if such people are allowed to go to Tubo, they will die on the way before being beaten."

"Is there a solution?"

The samurai sighed: "I can only rely on adaptation. I have stayed in Xining for a few years, and now I don't feel much in Xining. When I go to Tubo, I just feel a little uncomfortable, but it is much better than five years ago. I thought In fact, even if the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Anxi Duhu Mansion is weakened in Tubo, at least they can still fight, and the soldiers of the Guanzhong Mansion must not come up."

Qin Hao nodded and said: "Yes, so if you want to conquer Tubo, you can only rely on your soldiers from the Anxi Protectorate, but those soldiers from the Anxi Protectorate have shares in shops in Xining City. If there are thieves who spare the Hexi Corridor, They will naturally turn into hungry wolves, if they defend Xining, they can fight against ten, but if they attack Tubo... how much morale do you think they will have?"

The warrior Xun smiled wryly and said: "I'm afraid there will be no more than [-]%. I just wear my husband’s pants, and even if I rob them all, I can’t get a few taels of silver. When it comes to resources, there is no bullshit, except for grasslands and deserts. The only thing that can be called a specialty is a little Cordyceps sinensis. There is no shortage! Coupled with the ghost-like climate in that place, this battle may really be nothing for them to fight."

"Yeah, they are so poor, they are really invincible. Even if the Anxi Protectorate is counted as Fanbing, compared with Tubo, it is actually on par with Tubo. Counting their terrain and climate bonuses, if they really fight, Nine times out of ten, it is impossible to fight, if the morale is not high, I am afraid that it will only be a small fight in the end, which will damage the prestige of our Tang Dynasty."

"Then you mean..."

"It's still a soft knife, but for a while, let's play it a little bit harder. It will make him hurt a little bit, he will lose too much blood and die, and he will have to come down and beat you on his own initiative. Duke Ying, let me ask you first, Once the Tubo people come down, will they be able to defend it only with the strength of the Anxi Protectorate?"

The warrior Xun said proudly: "Hahaha, that's what I went for. Xining City is impenetrable. It's really hard for us to go up, but if he dares to come down, I guarantee they will die as many as they come!"

"Okay, with Ying Guogong's words, I feel relieved. I want the soldiers and horses of the Anxi Dufu Mansion to help the King of Nanzhao fight."

The warrior Xun was stunned, "It was Tubo who provoked you, why did you beat Nanzhao?"

"Yangzhou Zhonglang General Xu Jie has already led a group of Jiangnan government soldiers in Lingnan to help the king of Nanzhao to fight the war. In fact, he mainly went to capture prisoners. Now, the other five imperial edicts have faintly guarded against Mengshe imperial edict. With the trend of forming an alliance, after all, the soldiers of the Jiangnan Mansion have been out of battle for a long time, and Xu Jie is a little bit stuck, if you can help them, Meng Shezhao will be able to free up their hands."

"Ah... what does this have to do with Tubo?"

"Nanzhao is also located on a plateau, a little higher than Xining. If you go to Tubo, the reaction is even lighter than that of the party members. Mengshezhao borders Tubo. I plan to form a slave army from Nanzhao slaves. , specially go to Tubo to go to harm, no matter men, women, old or young, ten heads are exchanged for freedom, and at the same time, let Mengshezhao send troops to help fight some tough battles, while you Xining help them fight other five zhaos, exchange each other Opponents, Nanzhao's timber has not been fired yet, but Nanzhao's slaves are the hardest currency in the Tang Dynasty. If you change your opponents, I think the morale will be very different."

(Yun-south, Qing-hai, and Tibet, bordering each other geographically)
Hearing this, the warrior Xun took selfies on his thighs again and again: "You helped the King of Nanzhao to fight the war before, and that's the idea? Your vision...it's absolutely perfect!"

Qin Hao said with a smile: "No way, it happened by chance. At the same time, I wondered if the Anxi Governor's Mansion could exert influence on the Hu merchants in the Western Regions, saying that I, Duke Rong, paid high prices and collected barley."

"Highland barley?"

"Tubo's terrain is too high, and there are almost no other crops except barley. They only eat beef and mutton. How many people can they feed? Tell the people in the Western Regions the news, and let them dump the barley for me, or grab it. It doesn’t matter if you buy it, I have so much money that I don’t even know how much money I have. If I dare to assassinate me, I’ll spend money to buy their lives! As long as I buy all their highland barley, I just need to wait for the winter to fall A heavy snow, if they don't come down, they will all starve to death!"
