Chapter 361 Not fighting on the plateau

When they first set off, the two people were still very excited, but as the altitude got higher and higher, the two people were already holding on forcibly on their horses. In order to avoid accidents for the two people, Li Xiang forced them to let them go. The two men went into the carriage.

Now Li Xiang can take the main road. After the peace agreement was concluded, the border has been opened. Li Xiang took the Cui family's route, so no one questioned them. They just walked on the main road, of course entering and exiting. The main road in Tubo was only compared to the road last time. If Han people were to walk on it, it would be extremely uncomfortable.

"My dear mother, I had long heard that it was uncomfortable to come up. I didn't expect it to be so uncomfortable. I thought my bones were stronger than others and nothing would happen to me after I came up. I always felt that I Already dead once."

Yuchi Baolin said breathlessly, this guy was unconvinced in the past. Some businessmen said that he couldn't persist at all. At that time, he refuted them. Even when he set out today, he thought that his body was better and stronger than those ordinary people. He was vomiting so much that he didn't know what to say. He leaned his head against the side of the carriage. If he didn't want to delay, he would even want to jump off the carriage.

As for Changsun Chong in the other carriage, his luck was relatively good. This guy had already fallen into a deep sleep, but every half hour, Li Xiang had someone wake him up. In the extremely hypoxic situation, Sleeping in such a state is not a good thing, it is extremely harmful to the whole body, so waking him up every once in a while is good for Changsun Chong's health.

"After you come here, you will understand what I think. Even though our army in the Tang Dynasty is powerful, if we can't fight in such an environment, then don't let our sons come to fight. When the time comes, there will be no other choice but the battlefield. In addition to the casualties on the ground, I don’t know how many more lives will be lost just in this environment. Although I asked them to train on the plateau, it was just a preparation and I didn’t think about actually letting them do it.”

Li Xiang sighed helplessly. Of course he no longer had altitude sickness. After going back and forth several times in succession, he was already very accustomed to the situation here, including the people who followed him, so there was only Zhangsun in the entire team. Chong and Yuchi Baolin were uncomfortable.

"Your Highness is right, can we avoid a war or not? This is still the mainland you mentioned. How big is the slope just now? If we send people to fight, how many people will we need to push the grain trucks? In this case, I guess one person would be exhausted after pushing it three or five times. If five people push a car, we cannot prepare the labor force at the rear."

Yuchi Baolin thought of the large and small slopes along the way. When you go downhill, you have to find someone to pull you, and when you go uphill, you have to find someone to push you. If there were not so many people, it is estimated that these goods would not be transported at all. If you don't go to the front line, you don't know how the Tubo people live. In short, it is really difficult for us in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Xiang asked these two guys to go on a trip and let them take a look at the specific situation here. After returning, he would explain it to some people within the court. Now another voice has appeared within the court, that is, taking advantage of the civil strife in Tubo, we should Just send troops to attack here.

Especially some veteran generals in the army, they believe that this opportunity is once in a lifetime. As for environmental issues, these people have not paid attention to them. In these years, they have been fighting in the north and south. What kind of environment have they not seen? Was the Turkic environment better back then?

Because there were two more burdens on the team, they could not move faster. The original seven-day journey took nine days to arrive. When Li Xiang arrived at Magi Tusi's official village, he found that most of the people here had already arrived at the front line. Went, only the housekeeper and a few people were here.

"Sir, you are back. Lu Dongzan brought back a large number of troops from the border and has launched two counterattacks. The gentlemen went to the battlefield in person to supervise the battle. We lost 800 warriors yesterday."

When the housekeeper saw Li Xiang, he was about to shed tears. Lu Dongzan came back with a large number of reinforcements, and these people were all the elites of Tibet. Otherwise, they would not have been selected to guard the border. They counterattacked in an upright manner. , and it is becoming more and more fierce. If the chieftain's side had not gained the upper hand, I am afraid that the defense line would have been breached long ago.

"I brought two friends with me this time. They are feeling a little unwell on the way. You can find a way to adjust them. I will rest for a while, and then I will go to the front line to have a look and have a talk with your toast master."

Li Xiang didn't waste any time, and the housekeeper quickly asked the people below to carry Yuchi and Baolin in. People from the Tang Dynasty would be in this situation, so they just need to rest for a while.

Of course, there are some people who can't rest at all, so their fate can only depend on it. In today's era, there is no so-called special medicine. Herbal medicine may be able to provide some relief, but it also depends on your own ability. If you can't bear it, then next year's anniversary may be your anniversary.

After Li Xiang returned to the house, Xiao Liuzi hurried in. Although he wrote two letters every day, Xiao Liuzi still felt a little scared. Li Xiang gave him such a heavy task, and he always felt that he was not qualified to do it. .

"Master, let me report to you..."

When he saw Li Xiang, Xiao Liuzi was extremely nervous. He wanted to tell everything about the past few days in an instant. Listening to his talk, which was as confusing as a bursting bean, Li Xiang felt that his The brain is big.

"Okay, okay, hurry up and stop. I know what you are thinking. What you report when you write a letter every day is very accurate. There is no need to tell me again, and I also understand some things. I'm going to ask you a few questions about things I don't understand, and you can just answer them. We don't need to report things that have already been reported again, it's not efficient."

Listening to Li Xiang's words, Xiao Liuzi nodded beside him, and now he learned a new word from our young master, that is efficiency.

"Approximately how many troops are there on both sides now?"

Because the situation on the battlefield changes every day, the specific figures must be based on that day. Those reported previously are no longer of much use.
