Of course, Yu Shinan was actually not afraid of Tubo. This was absolutely out of the question.
But Yu Shinan is the commander-in-chief after all. What is the main job of the commander-in-chief?
Instead of thinking about how to advance, we should think about how the enemy will defend and how to defend against our own advance.
In this case, Yu Shinan transformed into a great public intellectual in a sense, doing nothing all day long and focusing on finding faults with the Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty.
During this selection process, Yu Shinan was suddenly shocked to discover.
Hey guys, there's a problem.
"Wait a minute, does the Holy Marquis know that the water and soil on the plateau are unusual, and that as long as we, the people of the Central Plains, go up there, they will become acclimatized?"
Yu Shinan suddenly remembered this, and when he said this, the rest of them, Li Ji, Yuchi Laomo, and Yin Qiao Duan Zhixuan, all looked solemn and looked at each other...
Some people are not from the northwest area. Although Li Er comes from Longyou, not all members of the Tiance Mansion team are.
Generally speaking, there are still many members who are from the Hedong area. In short, there are more in these two places.
And since this is the case, it is conceivable.
Tubo did not fight with the Tang Dynasty for many years. The Tang Dynasty only fought a lot of wars among the countries in the Western Regions. But after all, Tubo was not the largest or the strongest country in the Western Regions.
Therefore, many people do not know the mysteries and wonders of Tubo, including Yu Shinan, who is a little unfamiliar with Tubo. It was only recently that he learned that the land and water in this place are unique, and the people living there have different reactions.
The Tubo people would have no problem, but the Han people would!
Such a weird and strange situation immediately made everyone stunned. If it were normal, it would be fine, but now...
Damn it, when an army of 300,000 people has gathered and is ready to carry out military missions, at this juncture, you tell the Han army that they can't reach that place. Isn't this causing trouble?
Everyone looked at each other for two seconds, and then Yin Qiao suddenly frowned, but his eyes widened and shone brightly.
"That's right... Now that I think about it, this matter is indeed not simple. When the Han people arrive near the Tubo area, they will not only feel unwell, but their skin will become cyanotic and they will lose their strength. It is even said that some of them died on the spot without any reason!"
When Yin Qiao said this, everyone else suddenly looked horrified.
Damn...if you put it this way, then this is okay.
According to what you said, if you remove just a few people, someone will die suddenly. If an army of 300,000 people marches over, wouldn't it mean that tens of thousands of people will die before the battle starts? This...
Not to mention tens of thousands, even if a few thousand died, it would seriously damage the morale of the military.
The key is this...
Some time ago, near Lingzhou, close to the Tibetan area, some merchants discovered strange auspiciousness, which was later regarded as an ominous sign, thinking that God was going to punish the Tang Dynasty for its military aggression.
This kind of rumor is naturally nonsense in the eyes of the military generals. Why are you going to resort to militarism and end up being ruined? If you don't engage in military affairs, you will be eaten by others in minutes, right? It's true.
But the problem is...
Even though they, as generals, are well aware of the importance of victory and the inevitable cost of victory, if this kind of rumor spreads, it will still cause too much damage to the morale of the military and the people. Originally, this thing has been discussed by His Majesty and several court officials.
The Duke of China has cracked and refuted the rumors, but now...
If the army marches into Tubo, the situation mentioned by Yu Shinan and Yin Qiao will occur.
That would be troublesome, the rumors would definitely come back, and they would definitely leave a deeper mark on the hearts of the people and the Forbidden Army!
This is definitely a bad thing no matter how you think about it!
Since the situation is so severe and the situation is so complicated... the generals can no longer drink easily and can only become serious.
Duan Zhixuan thought for a while, frowned and looked at Yin Qiao and Yu Shinan, "Are you two...serious?"
"Is this absolutely true?"
After all, transportation was underdeveloped in ancient times, and it was inconvenient for people to travel from north to south. It was extremely difficult to get from Chang'an to Hangzhou. It was even more difficult to get to Lingzhou from the Central Plains, and it was even more distant and unfamiliar to go from Lingzhou.
Tubo is not easy to win.
Different from modern times, even in this area of Lingzhou, most people do not know what is unique about Tubo.
For people who come from the Youyan area in Hedong, there are even fewer opportunities to learn this kind of cold knowledge.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward... no, it was serious embarrassment, and it became tense.
Yin Qiao nodded slowly, thinking deeply with his eyes and said, "That's it. More than ten years ago, I had a soldier who was from Lingzhou under my command. He once told me interesting things about his hometown, including the fact that the Han people
In the mountainous areas of Tubo, breathing becomes difficult."
"...Oh, it has been more than ten years, and I have forgotten such a big thing!"
Yin Qiao felt very guilty for a moment.
Everyone saw the anxious look on Yin Qiao's face, and they all felt it for a moment, and felt that the trouble was even bigger.
The Forbidden Army cannot advance directly. Isn't this Tubo army invincible?
They can come down to fight Datang, but Datang cannot go up to fight them...
At this time, Yu Shinan took a deep breath, with a somewhat sullen look on his face.
"People near Lingzhou City have often observed Tubo people coming and going nearby. I'm afraid it's..."
"These guys would definitely not dare to come down to fight the Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty. But if I were them, using the special water and soil of Tubo as a natural barrier to come down and plunder the people of the Tang Dynasty, this would be a very cost-effective deal!"
"I'm just afraid..."
Yu Shinan took a deep breath again, "Now that the conflict between our country, Datang, and these barbarians has intensified, these guys will definitely take action against the people of Lingzhou soon."
"Someone!..." Old Devil Yuchi's eyes widened when he heard this, and his huge hand as big as a cattail leaf slapped the table on the spot, "How dare he, a Tubo man who is a thief! If he dares to come down, I will kill him.
, he comes down with a pair! I will kill his entire nest!"
Yuchi Laomo knew from his nickname that his temper was no joke. With such a roar, all the generals around him also showed angry expressions.
Damn it, so many princes from the Tang Dynasty are gathered here, and the Tubo people still dare to wander around Lingzhou.
Previously, everyone thought that the Tibetans were doing this just to collect information, or that they came here to be beaten without knowing the seriousness of the matter.
Now when I look at it, my dear, these Tubo people are not just investigating information, they are clearly plotting against the people of the Tang Dynasty.
And he's not just here to get beaten stupidly, he's still so damn confident!
Who can bear this? It’s simply unbearable!
However, seeing the generals so excited, Yu Shinan's expression became more serious, his brows furrowed and he shook his head.
"Everyone, things are not that simple. Since the Tubo people are not stupid, and there are strong kings and wise ministers in the country to assist them, I am afraid that we have to make a decision before we act. I am afraid we have no chance."
