Chapter 30 Chapter 29: Lin Fu's Strange Conspiracy

Li Linfu met Pei Min's gaze and said, "The king of Tochar is called Wumogan. This subordinate has known him very much. He is a king who is content with the status quo. He is very old-fashioned and has a stubborn personality. He guards one-third of the land of Tochar. There was also this reason why our dynasty chose Tuqishi instead of Tochar."

This is also Pei Min’s most headache.

If Wu Mogan values ​​profit and has ambitions, Pei Min can also operate from it to use strategy to induce it.

But Wu Mogan is just a stubborn stone, and he believes in the truth of death.

When Arabs first helped them, they took it as a matter of course to stand on the Arab side.

Moreover, Umogan has no ambitions. As long as Arabs do not treat him unfairly, he will follow Arabs to wave flags and shout without regrets.

Pei Min understands the importance of Umogan, how could Mosremasa not know?

Where would Mosremasa be short-sighted and treat Tochar or Umogan?

Therefore, the alliance between Arabs and Tochar is a solid piece and difficult to shake.

Pei Min did not hide it and said, "I am determined to instigate the relationship between Arabs and Tochar, but I have no idea how to deal with the stubborn character of Umogan. As for the Arab side, they don't care... So I'm very curious here, what method do you have to make Tochar anti-Arab and surrender to my Tang Dynasty."

Li Linfu said: "Even Pei Shuai can't do anything, so how can his subordinates do it? But his subordinates noticed a detail and could use it. After his subordinates' investigation, Tochar is mainly based on animal husbandry, and this has been the case for hundreds of years."

Pei Min nodded and said, "Most of the residents of Tochar are descendants of ancient Dayuan and Wusun. They are tribes who are good at raising horses and livestock. The Book of Sui also records that the Tochar state was 500 miles west of the Pamir Mountains, and they live in mixed with Yida. In the southwest of Dayuan, they live south of the Guishui River. The Dayuezhi divided the land and lived in the north of the Guishui River. The land was rich and rich. There were divine horses in the mountain caves. Every year shepherded mares in the caves, they would have a famous horse. It's funny that the Western Regions all became rich because of the business trip of the Western Regions, but Tochar was still indifferent and kept it alone. Is it stupid or persistent? Want to guard some of the things of our ancestors?"

Pei Min was a little disdainful of Tochar's style of doing things behind closed doors.

Compared to Tochar, Pei Min admires the courage of the Shi Kingdom very much.

The Shi Kingdom was originally the old land of Dayuan and a place of animal husbandry, but their king gave up the things of his ancestors and encouraged the people across the country to go to business, so that the country was rich and everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment.

The richest man in the Shi Kingdom is the best in the Western Regions.

Of course, it is also because of this that Gao Xianzhi in history has become obsessed with money and robbed Shi Kingdom...

Li Linfu continued: "No matter what Umogan is thinking, his style is our opportunity to take advantage of. I have studied the atmosphere of the Arab army these days, and their military discipline is far less than our army. Not only that, it is often very casual."

Pei Min nodded in agreement. Poor military discipline does not mean poor combat effectiveness.

Pei Min remembers that he had analyzed the details of this aspect back then.

Most troops that have always been strong usually have one of two factors.

One is military discipline.

If the order is enforced, the combat effectiveness of the army with strict military discipline will not be poor.

Longyou and the Hexi Army are examples.

Another factor is that the soldiers and thieves are covered in military sacrificial cases. They do all kinds of evil, but as long as they go to the battlefield, they are desperate people who are not afraid of death.

Arabs fought in all directions, and used war to support war and made great money in war, which was the atmosphere of war and thieves.

I was defeated, nothing, but I won, money and women, I had everything.

Li Linfu continued: "I dare to ask, how many soldiers, how many war horses, and how many animals were there in the Arab army this time?"

Pei Min had already cared and said, "The army is less than 200,000 now, with about 80,000 horses, about 130,000 pack horses, 20,000 camel cavalry, and more than 50 battle elephants... As far as I know, Arabs only have 20,000 fighting camels. He transferred his old background..."

Li Linfu reminded: "Well Pei Shuai knows how much for the 210,000 horses are needed? How much forage consumed by 20,000 camels? How much forage should more than fifty war elephants eat in one day?"

Suddenly!

Pei Min suddenly stood up and looked at Li Linfu with a little shock, suddenly cheerful.

Seeing Pei Min's expression, Li Linfu knew that he had figured out the key points before and after, and said, "Why do nomadic peoples want to follow the water and grass? Water and grass are their lifebloods. In order to fight for a river, a piece of grassland, and the barbarians on the grassland are much more fierce than us. Pei Shuai must know that many times, nomadic people would rather be frozen and hungry than eat the grass on the grassland. They want to prepare for the coming year. If the grass on the ground is eaten clean, the growth of the grass in the next few years will be greatly affected. Remember, Pei Shuai used the four words "ecological environment" to describe this situation."

Pei Min knows most about later generations: human progress is often the one who commits suicide.

Pei Min specifically proposed a policy to protect the ecological environment when controlling the Jiuqu land in Hexi. In addition to cultivating military horses, the Hermitage Commission should also protect the grasslands, rather than overdrawing the future of Jiuqu land in Hexi.

"I believe that Arabs will not pay attention to these insignificant details. Their livestock and soldiers will have a harsh impact on the ecological environment of Tochar. If the king of Tochar is a long-term person, I will not care about these things. But Umogan is a stubborn stone. When he finds that the river water in Tochar is polluted by Arabs, the ranch in Tochar is fatally destroyed by Arabs... Will Umogan still support Arabs without regrets? If the subordinates do not believe, everyone has selfish intentions. Once they touch the bottom line of Umogan, Arabs, Tochar, even the solid alliance will break. At that time, Pei Shuai prescribes the right medicine, how can Tochar not serve Pei Shuai?"

Pei Min closed her eyes and thought about Li Linfu's plan. The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was feasible.

Li Linfu may not be able to do military affairs, but his ability to understand people's hearts is really terrible.

He thoroughly grasped the character of the Tochar king Umogan...

If we really get to that point, Pei Min fully believes that Umogan has a great possibility of anti-Arabia for the sake of the future of his country. At that time, they conservatively estimated that they could reduce tens of thousands of casualties...

only……

A trace of pain appeared on Pei Min's face. Li Linfu's plan was a strange plan, but it took a long time to implement it.

Under the siege of Arabia, no one knows what the situation in the city is.

How much food, how many soldiers and horses are there, how long Feng Changqing and Yan Gaoqing can last? These are all unknowns.

Once Li Linfu's plan was adopted, it would almost be equivalent to giving up Feng Changqing and Yan Gaoqing in Tuozhe City...

On the one hand, it is the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, and on the other hand, it is his favorite general, and his best confidant!
