Cui Tao didn't show off and said directly: "A small fight is to attack the troops trying to cross the Qilian Mountains at the Qilian Mountain Pass and beat them completely to pain. Then Shang Qixin'er will definitely return to Tianqian City. In the future, Tubo will not raise armies across the country.
, Shang Qi’s heart doesn’t dare to go to Longyou anymore!”
In this military meeting, Xue Hu was the most junior person. He asked: "Will Tubo withdraw its troops so happily?"
Cui Tao shook his feather fan and said: "The Tuyuhun area has a large population, but the Tubo people have only been operating here for a few decades. The only ones who can really be relied on are these 50,000 troops."
"Dai Ze lost 10,000 elites, which has made Shang Qi's heart so distressed that she vomited blood. If there is another mistake, the Tibetan people's control in the Tuyuhun area will be greatly weakened."
"The Tuyuhun area is the foundation of Shang Qixin'er's family. If Tuyuhun is unstable, then he, the host, will lose his power."
"This is a matter that affects the survival of the family. Shang Qi'er cannot continue to suffer from headaches."
Yu Chixin said: "This is a small beating, so how will you fight for a big beating?"
Cui Tao chuckled and said: "A big fight means letting the Tibetan people in, closing the door and beating the dogs, and first let the big fight out!"
Yu Chixin understood what Cui Tao meant. He looked at the map and fell into thinking.
Nowadays, the Tubo army is stationed at Dadou Bago at the Qilian Mountain Pass. The whole Hexi is like a pocket, and the mouth of the pocket is Dadou Bago.
Cui Tao pointed to the map and said: "There are many mountain passes in the Qilian Mountains. If you are a skirmisher, you can climb over other mountain passes. But if you want to have sufficient logistics supplies for the 40,000-strong army, the Tubo people must occupy the Dadou Valley."
"If you want Shang Qixin'er to attack Hexi wholeheartedly, you must let Dadou Bugu go."
Yu Chixin looked at the map and nodded. In fact, the task given to Dai Ze by Shang Qixin'er was to attack Dadou Bago immediately after crossing the Qilian Mountains and open a channel for the Tibetan army to invade Longyou.
However, Dai Ze rushed forward for military glory, listened to monk Guangde's evil advice, and attacked Wuwei City first.
In the end, all his previous efforts were wasted, 10,000 elite soldiers were scrapped, and he fled back to the Qilian Mountains in panic.
As long as the great battle of Bugu is still in the hands of the Tang army, Tubo is destined not to fight.
Therefore, if Tubo wants to open up a route to attack Hexi, it will inevitably attack Dadou Bago.
If the fight is small, then you can station troops to pull out the grain during the big fight and beat the Tibetan vanguard until it hurts.
If we want a big fight, we must give way to the big fight and pull out the valley, so that the Tibetan army can enter Hexi for a decisive battle.
Xue Hu and Zeng Mu both said worriedly: "Dadou Bugu is an important road between Tang Dynasty and Tubo. What if we give it away this time and cannot take it back?"
Obviously, this strategy of fighting is a bit risky. Dadou Bugu can be said to be the gateway to Hexi. If you send this gateway out, if you can't get it back, you will be quite passive in the future.
Although Dadouba Valley is said to be a valley, it is also relative to the mountains on both sides.
The altitude of the Dadou Valley is very high, and there is ice and snow all year round, but the canyon is as wide as a bucket, and it is a shortcut connecting the Hexi Corridor to Huangzhong, Qinghai.
During the Sui and Tang dynasties, armies were used against the Tuyuhun area, and the armies were engaged in large-scale battles to pull out the valleys.
In the fifth year of Daye of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was touring Zhangye and encountered a blizzard while crossing a big battle to pull out a valley. In the end, more than half of the troops froze to death, and even the sister of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty froze to death.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty established the Fengxue Temple on Dadoubagu to worship the souls who died in Dadoubagu.
During the Taizong period, they attacked Tuyuhun. The Tang army also entered Tuyuhun from Dadou. Li Jing paid homage to the souls of the dead at the Fengxue Temple. The Tang army did not encounter wind and snow when they crossed the Bigou to pull the valley, and marched straight in to destroy Tuyuhun.
It's a pity that after Tubo expanded, the Tang Dynasty failed to defend the high-cold Tuyuhun area. After Ge Shuhan withdrew his troops from Tuyuhun, this area became the Tubo East Road.
Of course Yuchixin knew the importance of pulling out grains in a big fight, but he also knew that he couldn't trap the wolf if he couldn't bear the child.
The question now is whether the Tang army in his hands can completely destroy Shang Qixin'er's 40,000 army.
If the Tibetan army can be destroyed, then this method is to close the door and beat the dog.
If the Tibetan army cannot be destroyed, then this trick is to lure the wolf into the house.
Yu Chixin looked at the map and couldn't make a decision for a long time.
Yu Chixin was hesitant here. Qin Chuan had already recruited many people at Dangjin Pass.
Since Jinshankou and Shazhou are not far apart, most of the players in the 8th, 9th and 10th tests are making a living in Shazhou City.
After seeing Qinchuan's recruitment post, some players who wanted to try their hand at turning their bicycles into motorcycles came to Dangjin Pass to report.
Zhang Nan and Liu Qingyang arrived at Dangjin Pass together.
"Players who have brought livestock gather here. Our West Route Army has purchased the livestock at a higher price. Those who want to exchange money come here!"
"Players who brought food here report it. This is where I collect food."
The entire camp at Dangjin Pass was full of shouts.
"How about we sell the mules too?" Liu Qingyang suggested.
Zhang Nan nodded and said: "The materials are all for logistical transportation. We want to go to the front line to fight, so just sell the mules."
To fight deep into the enemy's hinterland, logistical supplies will naturally have to keep up.
Qin Chuan came up with a way to buy all the livestock that were brought to Dangjin Mountain Pass at a high price, and then he collected the livestock for transportation.
Qinchuan also used the same method to purchase grain, and finally collected dry food for a thousand men to go on the expedition.
During this period of time, Qin Chuan was spending money abroad in a hurry, and all the money saved by the labor contractor team was spent.
"Wars cost money!"
Qin Chuan complained to his deputy Zhang Hua.
Zhang Hua looked at the account book and saw that after spending a huge amount of money, he could only get enough dry food and livestock for a thousand people and half a month.
Qin Chuan said bitterly: "This time I am risking my own money! I must fight to the bottom of Tianqian City to avoid losing money!"
Li Yan was very concerned about the commotion caused by Qin Chuan.
This is a player-led war from beginning to end.
Recruiting players, making plans, and organizing logistics are all done by the players themselves.
If Yu Chixin's side is a regular army, then Qinchuan is similar to a mercenary army.
Li Yan is very interested in this model. If Qin Chuan can succeed, it can become a model for players to expand on their own.
Then more players will use this method to organize wars.
If Qinchuan's model can really work, it can greatly increase players' enthusiasm for taking risks.
For Li Yan, who has more and more players under his control, it is obviously a valuable attempt to allow players to develop more actively.
Qinchuan's method is actually to "crowdfund the war".
Qin Chuan's recruitment post on the forum is equivalent to a plan. Players who are interested can bring their own dry food to join the team.
Each player who joins the team turns in a portion of their contribution points, and crowdfunds their contribution points to purchase a resurrection book. This is equivalent to the players insuring the war at their own expense.
If the battle is won, then from Qinchuan to ordinary soldiers, the spoils of war will be divided according to the proportions agreed in advance.
If you lose, there will be no future, and it means the crowdfunding investment has failed.
Li Yan is very interested in Qin Chuan's attempt, and now he is waiting for Qin Chuan's results.
In a nervous mood, Qin Chuan held a swearing-in meeting for thousands of people and began to make final preparations before the expedition.
