Chew down the Stone Castle!!!"

Shibaocheng is an important place between the Huangshui River Basin and Qinghai Lake area.

If Shibao City is in the hands of the Tubo, the Tubo can invade the Longyou River and Huangland anytime and anywhere.

If this stone castle is in the hands of the Central Plains, the Central Plains can covet Qinghai Lake. It can not only prevent Tibetan invasion, but also serve as a bridgehead for troops entering Qinghai Lake.

Strategic value is particularly important.

Therefore, in history, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo launched a vigorous war around Shibao City.

It was also because of this stone castle that Wang Zhongsi, the first general in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, was jealous of Li Longji because he disobeyed military orders, and was eventually framed and killed by Li Linfu.

Therefore, Luo Youdu specifically mentioned Shibao City in his letter.

"If possible, take the stone castle to determine the boundaries."

Although Luo Youdu had not reached Shibao City, he had heard about the strength of Shibao City.

Historically, Ge Shuhan sacrificed tens of thousands of Tang Dynasty warriors in order to attack Shibao City, and finally wrested this important place from Tibet.

Historical records record that Tubo had only a few hundred people defending the city. This record must be wrong.

However, there is no doubt that the Tibetan army is far inferior to the Tang army, which shows that Shibao City is indeed difficult to attack.

Therefore, Luo Youdu added another sentence at the end: "If you can succeed, you can attack regardless of casualties; if you can't succeed, wait for the opportunity."

Although Luo Youdu gave room for relief, how could Li Qianpu give up easily?

I have been thinking of ways to capture Stone Castle City.

He specially sent people to investigate Shibao City, and learned that Shibao City was a fortress built on a cliff, with steep sides on three sides, and only one path leading to the bottom of the mountain.

If we really want to attack by force, we might end up in the same situation as Ge Shuhan.

In response to Liu Jin's request, Li Qianpu said: "Whether we can fight or not, we will wait until we get to Shibao City to see the situation!"
