"Ship Pei!" Wang Xiaobai rode alone and returned to Wanxiu City.

"How?" Pei Min didn't care much about the outcome in Wanxiu City. In terms of the overall situation, Shang Zanpo is just a side dish, and Shibao City is what he cares about.

The significance of Shibao City to the Tang Dynasty was too important. As long as the Shibao City was taken down, Longyou would no longer have to worry about the attack of Tubo in the future. Strategically, the Tang army would turn passive into activeness and peek at the interests of Qinghai Lake.

"Take it down!" Wang Xiaobai has been lying dormant in Mengchiling. While looking for a shortcut to siege, he paid attention to the movements of Shibao City. He knew the situation of Shibao City well and explained in detail to Pei Min about the process of Lun Gongren taking Shibao City.

"That's great!" Pei Min couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and let Lu Gongren take the stone castle city be the most correct choice.

After taking down Shibao City, their mission was half completed. The rest was completed as long as they curled the Tubo soldiers from Jintianqiao, tree stump, and Damomen defeated them and captured the Jiuqu land of Hexi.

Guo Zhiyun killed the enemy and came back to meet with satisfaction, but when he heard that Gong Ren had already taken down Shibao City, he also waved his fists excitedly.

Pei Min's happiness was considered from the overall situation, while Guo Zhiyun's happiness was breathing anger. He was the governor of Shanzhou and the governor of Longyou.

Shibao City is opposite Shanzhou. Every time Tubo comes out of Shibao City to rob, the first one to be victimized is Shanzhou.

After Guo Zhiyun served as the governor of Shanzhou and the governor of Longyou, he almost devoted his mind to dealing with the Tubo army in Shibao City. He also lost his youngest son for this and was most resentful to him. He was also happy to see Shibao City return to the embrace of the Tang Dynasty.

Pei Min looked at Guo Zhiyun and said, "Mr. Guo, please send someone to take over Shibao City immediately and exchange General Lun Gongren for General Lun. From now on, Shibao City will be handed over to Guo. I hope Mr. Guo will treat such a strategic location with caution."

The strict Shibao City also belongs to Longyou territory, and the defenses in Longyou territory are all under the responsibility of the Longyou Jiedushi.

Guo Zhiyun didn't refuse, waved his hand and asked him to arrange it. He said, "I'm just watching Duke Guo for the time being. I have to rely on Duke Guo in the future."

Pei Min was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask much.

Wanxiu City is destroyed and is not suitable for garrison.

Pei Min led his army north to meet Luongren.

If they are in ordinary times, they must pass through the Jintianqiao to reach the north bank and go deep into the hinterland of Tubo. However, because it is winter and the Yellow River is frozen, the army can walk freely on the Yellow River.

Walking carefully on the Yellow River, Guo Zhiyun looked at Wanyan's mother river and said, "This ghost weather has its pros and cons! The Duke's far-sighted vision shows that!"

Pei Min's face turned red when she heard this, and rubbed her hands. The weather was getting colder and colder, and his hands were a little stiff. He replied: "This is really an accident!"

In order to make a quick battle and decisive decision, he did make a lot of plans, but he really did not calculate the icy period of the Yellow River.

The temperatures became warmer in the 21st century, and he lived in the south again. The Pearl River Delta, which is as warm as spring all year round, is not even common in snow, let alone the freezing of rivers.

It seemed that God also helped him invisibly. After the winter began, the upper reaches of the Yellow River gradually became frozen.

When he burned Tubo hay and arrived at the front line from Guangen Town, he could already run horses on the Yellow River. He avoided the offense and defense of Jintianqiao and jumped directly from the Yellow River.

Because of this, he was worried that he would not be able to bear it. He walked carefully, for fear that the history books would come out: "On December 1st, the fourth year of Kaiyuan, Duke Liang and the governor of Taozhou Pei Min led his army to cross the Yellow River, but did not fall into the ice layer, and died!"

That's really not fun.

In fact, he was too worried. With the current thickness of the Yellow River ice layer, even if the tanks were driven, it would be fine, let alone the army.

After crossing the Yellow River with "no danger", Pei Min chose to garrison the troops under Mengchiling to rest, and Lun Gongren also led his troops to join him.

The three giants gathered together again to discuss the next play.

According to the current trend, as long as they talk about the three important places of Gongrenjin Overpass, Tree Stump, and Damomen, they will be accomplished.

However, Pei Min asked another question, "On the general, you should have had a detailed understanding of the soil and water reactions of my Tang people in your Tubo, right? Can you tell me?"

The plateau climate is a topic that can never be avoided when confronting Tubo. The Tang army fought with Tubo for many years and each had its own victory or defeat, but the Tang Dynasty never caused fatal damage to Tubo once. The main reason for the plateau climate is that when brave soldiers go to the plateau, they will also have various discomfort problems like plague chickens. Even if they invade, they will end up in a crushing defeat.

Pei Min experienced the plateau climate when he was traveling in later generations. At that time, he felt uncomfortable just walking around and playing. If he was marching and fighting like now, carrying heavy objects and rushing on the road or going to fight to kill the enemy, he would not think he had the ability to support him.

Moreover, the ancient times are different from modern times, with convenient transportation and various services.

In ancient times, it was all about two legs, plus barely feasible dirt roads, and the two were not the same as each other.

To enter Qinghai Lake, you must have a full understanding of the plateau climate, otherwise it will be like playing with fire.

Guo Zhiyun, Lun Gongren looked at Pei Min with emotion. Hearing Pei Min's tone, he wanted to fight to the mainland of Tubo?

On Gong Ren, I don’t know how to speak.

Guo Zhiyun said worriedly: "Would you be too hasty?"

Pei Min looked at the two of them and smiled and said, "You misunderstood what I mean, but we have no logistical troubles at all. With such a large fatty meat in Qinghai Lake, how can you not get a share of the pie? A centipede insect will die without being stiff. I did not contempt for Tubo in a arrogant manner. I just wanted to build a military town on the edge of Qinghai Lake and put a nail in it to share Qinghai Lake with Tubo. This is very beneficial to my Tang Dynasty."

Of course, he still has deeper ideas. For Tubo, his long-term plan is a one-time and for all, but this plan is a bit long and is not suitable for now.

He did not forget the future development of Tubo. The current Xiao Zanpu in Tubo is a wise monarch. Although he is only ten years old and has not yet taken power. However, after he takes power in the future, he will use a very short time to stabilize the political situation of Tubo and enhance the national strength of Tubo. Xiao Zanpu's son is also a wise monarch, with two consecutive generations of wise monarchs. The Tang Dynasty encountered the Anshi Rebellion, and the national strength declined sharply, forming a sharp contrast.

Tubo also took the opportunity to develop into an empire that almost made the east and west tremble. Not only did it conquer the Tang Dynasty's Longyou Hexi, but it also fought with the Western Arab Empire in the Western Regions, fighting to the darkness, and the Tang Dynasty completely withdrew from control of the Western Regions.

Pei Min is familiar with this history, so he naturally will not sit idly by and watch the incident happen.

Only by completely destroying Tubo, allowing them to disappear into the torrent of history, and becoming part of the Tang Dynasty, can it be truly a one-time and for all.

But to fight on the plateau, there must be an army that can adapt to altitude sickness.

Qinghai Lake uses scientific words to describe a plateau continental climate, with altitude sickness but not so strong, which is just right for soldiers to adapt to their habits and prepare for the future.

Now the national strength of Tubo has been greatly damaged, and they have taken the Shibao City. The strategic materials can be transported directly from Shibao City to the front line without crossing the Jiuqu land of Hexi. Everything is towards the Tang Dynasty and not extending its tentacles to Qinghai Lake. I am really sorry for this great situation.

Guo Zhiyun, who was not aware of the deep considerations of Gong Ren, breathed a sigh of relief one after another. He thought that Pei Min was young and frivolous, blinded the current victory and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to attack Qinghai Lake and kill all directions.

Qinghai Lake is self-evident. If Pei Min does this, Tubo will have to use the whole country's efforts to fight even if he loses everything. The situation will not be good at that time.

Following Pei Min's thoughts, Guo Zhiyun's eyes lit up and said, "The princess is not just about fighting! Ximolang is famous for his good guardianship. He guards the Golden Sky Bridge, the tree stump, and the Damomen. We are not easy to attack, but as long as we point to Qinghai Lake, he may not be able to sit down."

Lun Gongren clasped his hands and smiled: "The way to use troops is to attack the city is the best, and to attack the heart is the best. The old witch chose Simolang as the general is very wrong. She thought Simolang could defend it, but the Duke avoided the powerful attack on the Xu and avoided all unnecessary sieges, so that Simolang had all his skills but could not show it."

After laughing, he sighed: "As the Duke of Guo said, the local environment between the Tang and the Borussia. My father had an in-depth understanding of the situation in order to fight against the Tang Dynasty. He also conducted experiments with strong Tang warriors. People with strong physiques near Qinghai Lake were not affected, but their physical strength was not as strong as before. The more they went up, the more serious the effect. If they went deeper into Dafeichuan, those with weak physiques would have dizziness, diarrhea, and weak limbs. If they were less than 60%, even those with strong physiques could be affected. As for the impact of physical strength, it was even more serious. For some reason, my father could not have considered General Xue Rengui had the courage to attack Wuhai City, and he had succeeded. My father said at the beginning that if Guo Daifeng had not been dragged down, the outcome would be unknown in the past battle."

Pei Min thought that only 70% of her physical strength was indeed affected, but it was within the acceptance range.

He pointed at Moli Post Road: "How about we station our army here directly?"

Don’t leave the post!

An inn on the ancient Tang and Tibet Road is an important road connecting the Tang and Tubo. It is a must-pass route for the mainland of the Central Plains to Qinghai, the hinterland of Tubo, and even Nepal, Tianzhu and other countries.

"We are here to wait for the effort! It is equivalent to breaking the retreat of Simolang. On the one hand, forcing him to fight, and on the other hand, it can also prevent the Tubo from sending reinforcements to support Simolang. What do you think?"

"I have no objection to wait for labor to make up for the physical weakness!" Guo Zhiyun agreed.

Lun Gongren nodded and said, "The Duke stationed in Moliyi is equivalent to stying the throat of Tubo, so there is no reason to oppose it. However, after this battle, Tubo not only lost the Jiuqu land of Hexi and Shibao City, but also made us embed a nail in Qinghai Lake. The old witch would be so angry." He said with a smile, but his heart was mixed.

The Tang Dynasty was the second family for him, but it cannot be denied that the first family was Tubo.

Pei Min and Guo Zhiyun could both feel the complex mood of Gong Ren, but they had no doubt about his loyalty to the Tang Dynasty.
Chapter completed!
