Chapter 72 The Gift of Dazarukorn

It was half a month later when Pei Min received the news of Gao Xianzhi's successful attack.

The generals in the Kabul River heard that Gao Xianzhi had actually crossed Kunlun Mountain and killed to the Sea of ​​Xingsu, and they were completely confused.

Kunlun Mountain has always been believed to be praised by China as a sacred mountain. There were various records of Queen Mother of the West in the earliest pre-Qin and Han dynasties, and there was also a legend that King Mu of Zhou met Queen Mother of the West in Kunlun.

This Gao Xianzhi actually crossed the legendary sacred mountain, which is incredible.

Everyone looked at Pei Min stupidly, not knowing what to say.

Pei Min was also excited to punch his left fist and right palm, and was very excited.

He does not regard Kunlun Mountain as a sacred mountain like the world.

As a time traveler, Pei Min looked at Kunlun Mountain very rationally.

Although Kunlun Mountain is full of mythological atmosphere, its real altitude is not "high".

But relatively speaking, it is much higher than the mountains in the Central Plains, with an average altitude of around 6,000.

The Pamir Plateau in the Western Regions, the average altitude of about 7,500 meters is about 7,500 meters. It is the gathering of the main mountain ranges in the southern and central Asian continents. It includes the five major mountain ranges of the Himalayas, Karakoram, Kunlun Mountains, Tianshan Mountains, and Xingdu Kush Mountains. Its mountains are undulating, continuous and winding, with snow peaks standing in groups and towering into the sky, so it is known as the roof of the Asian continent.

In history, Gao Xianzhi crossed the Pamir Plateau twice, and also crossed the main peak like Mustag Mountain, creating a miracle in the history of mountain wars. Therefore, the Great Food Kingdom and the Western Regions called him the king of mountains.

Of course, Gao Xianzhi is slightly different from the history. When Gao Xianzhi created this myth, it was during the Tianbao period, and it was the peak period of his own ability and experience.

Gao Xianzhi is a little tender now, not as mature and steady as he did when he created miracles in history.

Therefore, when Pei Min proposed to Gao Xianzhi, he was still a little worried.

But Gao Xianzhi was full of confidence. He had long studied this aspect, but he lacked practice.

Pei Min thought of Gao Xianzhi's halo of famous generals, and the Kunlun Mountains were not as steep as the Pamir Mountains.

Gao Xianzhi was able to conquer the roof of the Asian continent, but why couldn’t he conquer the Kunlun Mountains and the Star Sea?

Pei Min also boldly let him practice, and it turned out to be successful in one battle.

"This real person does not show his appearance. Pei Shuai has never used Gao Jun's envoy. He thought he was not capable enough, so it turned out that it was of great use..."

Gao Shi looked festive, and as long as someone with some strategic eyes could see the significance of Mado City.

Pei Min was also quite content with this. This is the benefit of time travelers. If he had not known that Gao Xianzhi had the reputation of "King of Mountains" and had conquered the Pamir Plateau, he would never dare to break through the sky and use this strategy.

Feng Changqing said: "I have almost understood the war in Qinghai Lake under Maduo City!"

Pei Min looked at the battle report in her hand and smiled: "It seems that Chang Qing is also full of confidence in Zhongsi."

Feng Changqing praised Wang Zhongsi without hesitation: "Deputy Jiedushi Wang worked under the command of the last general for a few years. At that time, he was less than fifteen years old and had the temperament of a famous general. After Pei Shuai and the years of training, I am afraid that his military level will be better than that. Pei Shuai opened the key to victory for him, how could he be sure of it? However, the Tubo Marshal Dazhalugong was not easy to deal with, and there should be a battle of wits and courage between them."

Seeing that the situation in the battle report was exactly the same as Feng Changqing's judgment, Pei Min said with a smile: "If you make the right answer, they did have a wonderful contest. Unfortunately, there is no next time. Dazha Lugong, he has already gone..."

Feng Changqing looked silent.

Pei Min said: "In order to retain the fire for Tubo, he personally lured the enemy and captured it by Zhongsi. Zhongsi respected him loyalty and righteousness, and felt polite to each other. But he said, "As a general of Tubo, how could he eat the enemy's rice and grain?" After being captured, he did not enter and died without a drop of water."

As soon as Pei Min finished speaking, everyone in the tent couldn't help but feel respectful.

In any era, such loyal and martyrs deserve respect, regardless of their enemies.

Pei Min said: "Even if it is an enemy, such a hero should be respected. Let Zhongsi send someone to contact Tubo and send Dazalugong's body back, and there should be no negligence."

He continued to watch and suddenly couldn't help laughing "haha" and said, "Remember to make the etiquette grander. After all, why did he give us a big gift? You can't let him down?"

It turned out that in the war report sent by Wang Zhongsi, in addition to the food and grass in Maduo City, there was also a large amount of food in Fuqi City.

The two most important cities in Qinghai Lake are Fuqi City and Maduo City.

Fuqicheng is the fortress of Qinghai Lake. Controlling Fuqicheng is equivalent to controlling Qinghai Lake.

Mado City is a fortress on the upper plateau. Controlling Mado City means controlling the connection between Qinghai Lake and the Tubo Plateau.

These two places are a must-fight for military strategists.

It can be imagined that it is also the place where Tubo stored food.

Because Mado City was attacked, as long as it succeeds, the food reserves will be owned by the Tang Dynasty.

This is also why Pei Min said about the additional food source at the beginning.

However, the terrain of Mado City is steep and there are not many soldiers in the city, so the food saved is naturally limited.

The place where food is really sufficient is Fuqi City, which is where the Tubo army gathers.

Dazha Lugong defended the city at Fuqi City, and the food and grass were enough to maintain the needs of a hundred thousand troops in a year.

Pei Min was not jealous, but he felt that as long as Dazhalu was not stupid, he would not choose to take advantage of the enemy.

Even if he wanted to give up Fuqicheng, he would not leave the food and grass to the Tang army.

But the situation is slightly different.

Dazhalugong did not leave the food to the Tang army, but chose another method: before leaving, burning the food, while opening a warehouse and allowing the people of Fuqi City to go to the warehouse to collect the food.

This is also the reason why Zhao Yizhen arrived half an hour late.

If Zhao Yizhen acts according to the original plan and pursues immediately, the grain stored in the city will be gone.

Zhao Yizhen considered the overall situation and chose to divide his troops by himself. While guarding the granary, maintaining the order of Fushicheng, forbidding the people from getting food, and extinguishing fires, he delayed half an hour.

From this we can also see that Dazhalugong had already prepared for his death, and he saw through Wang Zhongsi's plan first.

It's just that the outcome has been decided and I can't turn it around...

Now, the Tang army seized a large amount of food and grass from Fuqi City and Mado City, which is enough for a hundred thousand troops to need a year.

This is more delightful than a big victory!

Pei Min ordered without hesitation: "Let Niu Xianke count all the grain into the warehouse, transport the food from Big and Big Bolu to the front line, and provide supplies to our army. At the same time, Zhang Jiuling was transferred to Qinghai Lake to calm the people and be responsible for the administrative affairs of Qinghai Lake. Tell him that from today, Qinghai Lake will be the territory of our Tang Dynasty. All systems and cultural policies will be followed by the court, and we will also apply to the court for two years of tax exemption from Qinghai Lake to help development."

Speaking of this, Pei Min slapped his hands and said loudly: "I will order Wang Zhongsi to be responsible for the escort of Qinghai Lake, and select another 50,000 Helong soldiers to enter the Western Regions and listen to my dispatch!"
