In the Tang army's tent.

"Shangshu Ling, why did you suddenly call us?"

Zhao Chiman asked in surprise.

It is normal to say that the commander of the three armies held a meeting, but Han Yi had almost never had any meeting after he came here. The sudden meeting surprised these generals.

Han Yi smiled slightly and said, "I call on all the generals today because Tubo is on the verge of destruction. We have to hurry up and step on this last kick and show it to the court, so as to show our heroic defeat of Tubo."

The generals sitting there were all stunned.

Are you telling a fantasy story?

Especially Su Dingfang, Zhao Chiman and Wang Xuance, they have always been receiving the battle report. Han Yi almost supervised the logistics and helped Queen Yan develop production.

As far as they know, they have not reversed the situation of the war yet, and most of the territory has been lost in the northwest. No one knows who will kill me. Why is Tubo suddenly on the verge of destruction?

This is not a fantasy story, what is it?

Su Dingfang said in surprise: "I would like to ask the Secretary Ling to forgive me for being stupid. I don't know what the Secretary Ling said?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "Elder General, from your experience, what will happen if the Tubo army suddenly loses food and grass?"

Su Dingfang said very directly: "Then they will be finished!"

If the battle of this scale suddenly runs out of food, it will definitely be over, and there will be no suspense.

Han Yi nodded and said, "That's the reason!"

Su Dingfang said: "But if the other party has tight food and grass, the Tubo army will definitely retreat. But I see that they have no sign of this, which shows that they still have enough food and grass reserves."

Han Yi smiled and said, "I said that I suddenly lost food and grass. Qin Ling may not know it yet, maybe he just knew it."

Wang Xuance asked: "How could this food and grass be lost suddenly?"

Han Yi said: "Not only did they lose food and grass, but there were more than 100,000 more enemies in the back. If they don't die this time, I'll die. There's no fun in living in this world."

Zhao Chiman said in a daze: "Why am I becoming more and more confused as I listen?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "According to my understanding of Tubo, their soldiers were all slaves, especially the logistics, and they were all transported by slaves. This time, Qinling used more than 100,000 slaves to transport food and grass to his army. With the stalemate of the war, the logistics of both sides had become very tight. This is the case with us, and the same is true for Tubo. So in order to ensure that the soldiers in the previous life could be full, Tubo would definitely sacrifice slaves.

Needless to think about it, the Tubo slaves will not have a good life. They are facing hunger and death every day, and they keep seeing their companions die on the way. They lead to hell in front of them, which is their only fate. However, if someone incites them at this time and gives those slaves the newest firearm of the Tang Dynasty, you can imagine what this situation would be. What’s more interesting is that those slaves are all on the side of the food and grass.”

He said it very simply, but the truth is not that simple.

In fact, many years ago, he was digging graves for Qinling. Tan Dong and others not only bought slaves from Tubo, but also specially trained a group of agents to pretend to be slaves to enter Tubo, with the purpose of instilling reactionary ideas with the slaves in Tubo (see Chapter 1960 Geopolitics for details.), and he also arranged for Kunbulusan and others to take care of the agents. Kunbulusan was originally a slave in Shu, but later supported by Han Yi and became a wealthy businessman in Tubo. His mission was to take special care of the agents and prevent them from being hurt. These agents spent a lot of time and money to train and must not die easily. At that time, Kunbulusan arranged for the agents to escort weapons.

Everything is premeditated.

Of course, in addition to Kunbu Luosang, there are several wealthy Tubo merchants, who are actually from Han Yi. They have one common feature, which is that they have deep hatred with the Tubo ruling class.

Why Han Yi was not in a hurry? It was because he was waiting. He had to wait until both sides were struggling, and the Tubo ruling class continued to increase the exploitation and use of slaves, and this trick would work.

There was a silence in the tent.

Every general felt no excitement, just creepy.

This move is really a bit too ruthless.

Without talking about Qinling, they wouldn't have thought of this.

Han Yi glanced at him and said, "I thought it should be a cheer at this time!"

The soldiers were stunned and laughed loudly at the same time.

Su Dingfang laughed: "I understand, I finally understand that the reason why Shangshu Ling asked Lao I to choose a defensive strategy was to drag the war into a stalemate to increase the pressure on Tubo's logistics! The military strategy is full of military tactics, the top of the army attacks, the next step of the army attacks, the next step of the army attacks, and the next step of the army attacks the city. It can be seen that Shangshu Ling's strategy is far better than us."

"The veteran general is too rewarded!" Han Yi said: "I just consider it from the perspective of a businessman. Because of the existence of slaves, the cost of the war in Tubo is much lower than that of us. Although our population is nearly ten times that of Tubo, our military strength is difficult to reach the scale of Tubo, because they own slaves, but I firmly believe that everything has both good and bad sides. Qinling is a slave for success and failure, and this is also the lowest cost way to eliminate Tubo."

Clothes!

Everyone has a capital "suit" written on their face.

It is not that the war is over, but that the Tubo will definitely perish.

Su Dingfang asked again: "I don't know what the Shangshu Ling plans to do next?"

Han Yi said, "This is also my purpose in the meeting. You are all experienced and fights. I want to ask you, what would you do if you were Qinling?"

Everyone was thinking.

After a while, Su Dingfang shook his head and said, "There is no solution! This dilemma is really no solution! Now there is no food and grass, and they only have two roads left. The first road is to fight to the death with us. However, he gradually transferred all the main forces to the northwest battlefield. In addition, we have muskets and artillery, they do not have the capital to fight to the death with us. The battle situation in the northwest is also destined to be unable to annihilate our main forces in one fell swoop. The second road is to retreat immediately! Not to mention that he will not be able to retreat at this moment, even if he retreats, we will definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue him, and he will inevitably face the enemy from both sides. In addition, they have no food and grass. Even if Qinling is a genius, he will not be able to return to heaven! There is no solution! There is no solution!"

Zhao Chiman suddenly said, "Do you think he will choose to surrender?"

Han Yi said: "Unless they surrender unconditionally, that's not my choice."

Wang Xuance said: "I think Qinling will choose to retreat. He is a hero like Qinling, and he must be able to bend and stretch. Moreover, they have the advantage of plateau. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will stick to it. I think he will continue to block us here and let the other armies retreat first, because they may also gather large troops and fight us to the death. In this case, we are sure to win, and naturally we dare not attack rashly, so they can retreat easily."

Zhao Chiman said: "If this is the case, we should quickly write to General Xue and the others, and let them quickly stop the Tubo army from retreating."

"No, no!" Han Yi waved his hand repeatedly and said, "I must let them retreat. I have written to Xue Rengui and others, telling them not to fight against Tubo in the death row, because now when we face Tubo, it is a loss-making business. If the Tubo army wants to retreat, they will only die faster."

Zhao Chiman asked, "Why is this?"

Han Yi smiled wickedly and said, "Don't forget that their main force is composed of slave owners and slaves. Therefore, the war will become very romantic and full of dreams from this moment on." At this point, he said oh, handed a letter to Zhao Chiman, and said, "Go and notify these officials to come here quickly."

Zhao Chiman took it in a daze, opened it and found that it was all young officials from the northwest region, and said in surprise: "What does this mean?"

Han Yi said: "What else is it? We have to divide the administrative area for Tubo immediately, so we must send officials to manage it."
