A group of more than ten herders drove about 300 cattle and horses to cruise near Qinghai Lake. The old herders could see at a glance that they were not real herders and had no experience in grazing.

However, since the early years of Zhenguan, the Tang army, led by Li Jing, had never had any war in Qinghai Lake.

Tuyuhun, who was subdued under the Tang Dynasty, was like a docile kitten, and was completely afraid of being beaten by Li Jing and Hou Junji.

After more than 20 years of peace, their vigilance has long been gone.

I just feel that with the blessing of Datang’s father, I can live a down-to-earth life and pay enough tribute to cattle, sheep and horses every year, so that I can live comfortably on this land.

Therefore, even if the herdsmen in this industry behave differently, they don’t have much warning when they occasionally meet passers-by.

What's more, the area around Qinghai Lake is vast, so small-scale herds are not easy to be caught by people.

Su Dingfang gasped heavily and sat directly on the grass. He took the water handed over by Xue Rengui, drank it in a big mouthful of "gudong,gudong". After a while, he said: "Sure enough, as Your Highness said. The environment here is really a big test for us... Cough cough..." He seemed to say too quickly, and finally even coughed.

Xue Rengui hurriedly patted his back.

Su Dingfang waved his hand and said solemnly: "How are you?"

Although Su Dingfang was not convinced of his old age, he still felt physical discomfort when he was 60 years old and rode his horse in Qinghai Lake with a weight.

Although Su Dingfang was over 60 years old, his ambitions were not reduced at all. He had never stopped training at home. Perhaps he was not as brave as before, but he also claimed that he was not inferior to Lian Po and Huang Zhong, but now he was so tired that he had difficulty speaking normally. He knew in his heart that he had been disturbed by external forces.

This should be what Li Yuanai said about altitude sickness.

Xue Rengui knew the reason why Su Dingfang asked, and did not show off his strength. He said, "The breathing felt a little heavy, not so easy. His actions were not affected too much from subordinates. However, his physical energy was consumed faster than usual, so it was difficult to fight for a long time."

Su Dingfang knew Xue Rengui's power well.

This time, Li Yuanai specially recommended Xue Rengui and handed him over to Su Dingfang.

Xue Rengui was in a bit miserable life.

In history, due to the great victory in Zhishan, Xue Rengui won the favor of Li Shimin for his outstanding performance, leaving behind a famous saying "I don't like to win Liaodong, but I'm happy to win you."

Xue Rengui was also qualified to guard Xuanwu Gate, and saved Li Zhi's life and became a general under Li Zhi's command.

And because of his appearance, all this was gone. Although Xue Rengui gained considerable military achievements with his own bravery in the campaign of Goguryeo, his status was too low and his contributions were uploaded one by one, and when he arrived, he was just a general.

The most important thing is that Goguryeo has been destroyed by Li Shimin, and Xue Rengui rose on the Western Front and achieved glory in Liaodong.

This was also the fuse of Dafeichuan's defeat. Li Zhi transferred Xue Rengui from the Western Front to the Eastern Front as the commander to face Tubo. The generals on the Eastern Front naturally felt dissatisfied.

Without Goguryeo, Xue Rengui lost the room for promotion again.

Li Yuanai was guilty and specially arranged for him to join Su Dingfang's command and go to war together.

Because of Pei Xingjian, Li Yuanai's ability to know people is also well known. He attaches great importance to the people he recommends...

After understanding it, it was shocking.

Xue Rengui was brave and heroic, and he was a general of a general. What surprised Su Dingfang the most was that in addition to commanding the military, Xue Rengui was also a great martial artsman, and his bow, horse, riding and shooting were outstanding in the world. Even in his era, the only one who could compete with him was Qin Qiong, the first brave general in the Tang Dynasty who was like taking the enemy's heads from the army, was like taking a sack.

This has a certain impact on the brave body of Xue Rengui, and Su Dingfang's understanding of altitude sickness has also taken a step further.

Su Dingfang asked the other soldiers again, and they all got different answers. He also had a personal experience and breathed a sigh of relief: "No wonder Your Highness is so cautious about the plateau reaction. Fighting in such an environment is indeed a great test for the soldiers. If you are careless, you will suffer a great loss."

He said as he was secretly glad.

As a general, galloping on the battlefield and marching a body in the horse and corpse is a blessing in life.

Su Dingfang first entered the wrong camp, and then was punished for plundering troops in the battle to destroy the Eastern Turks. A famous general abandoned the peak of his life!

Now that I have been wearing armor and taking commander again, my hair is gray. How many chances will there be in my life?

Su Dingfang knew in his heart that this expedition was recommended by Li Yuanai. Otherwise, there would be a lot of war in the temple and commanding troops to fight, why should an old man be needed?

This is the last chance...

The winner regained his power and conquered all directions.

Defeat... There is no longer the name of Su Dingfang in history.

After more than 20 years of precipitation and more than 20 years of studying the strategies taught by Master Li Jing, Su Ding has put forward everything he has to do with this battle...

Don't miss any details!

No matter whether the other party is a human or a ghost, a rabbit or a tiger, he will be treated with all his strength!

"Rengui!"

Su Dingfang suddenly said: "About the plateau reaction, Your Highness's note said that the stronger the body, the less affected it will be, and the shorter the time to adapt to the climate. In this battle, it is easier to win, and it is especially difficult to capture and kill the thief head. If we forcefully pursue, the physical strength we consume will increase exponentially. Lun Qinling can get his highness so much attention, and even saying that it is better to capture and kill 100,000 thieves. I think the ability should not be underestimated. If he retreats, he will use this altitude reaction to fight back, and the winner may change at that time."

"Look at this place is surrounded by four high mountains, Chong and Datong Mountain to the north, Sun and Moon Mountain to the east, Qinghai Nanshan to the south, Rubber Mountain to the west, and the four high mountains are like four natural barriers. If you lead a small group of elite troops to hide in it, rest and recuperate, adapt to the climate here, and explore the surrounding terrain, you can do great things, but I don't know if you dare not? Do you have the ability to hide it in it, and don't find it!"

Xue Rengui was heroic and heroic, and said without hesitation: "Don't underestimate the subordinates, the subordinates are waiting for the news from the chief manager in these four mountains!"

"No!"

Su Dingfang said: "It's not waiting for some news, but adapting to the situation. When marching and fighting, how can you do everything according to orders? You can see the right time and go to the battle yourself. But the ugly saying goes, the troops you lead are to encircle the thieves the last way. After passing here, you go straight to the plateau, and the climate there is even worse. We are not ready yet. If Lunqinling really runs away, you have to explain to the saint and Your Highness yourself."

Compared to Pei Xingjian, his apprentice, he likes Xue Rengui more.

Pei Xingjian is a civil servant after all, and he focuses on strategic planning. He has difficulty understanding and controlling a lot of knowledge about the tactical level of charge and formation.

Xue Rengui is different. Perhaps he has a slight strategic flaw, but in terms of tactics, he can get the true teachings.

Xue Rengui knocked his chest heavily.

Su Dingfang grinned with satisfaction.
