"Is this Stone Castle City?"

Standing two hundred miles away from Shanzhou and on the bank of a small river between the mountains, Yang Feng said, looking at a small town halfway up the east side.

This is Stone Castle City.

In the war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, it was hard to imagine that such a small castle even required 60,000 Tang troops, and was finally captured with tens of thousands of casualties. However, the result was indeed worth it, because it completely blocked the road from Tubo to Longyou. If it were not for the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty could have completely taken the Shibao City as a supporter and completely seized the south of Qinghai Lake along the Qinghai-Tibet Highway, and even continued to go deeper, pushing the dividing line between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo to Haixi.

But the Anshi Rebellion ended everything possible.

"General Wang, the last general has a suggestion."

Yang Feng said to Wang Sili.

Because of the telescope and a new set of cold-forged bright light armor, his relationship with Geshuhan deepened, so Li Siye and him traveled to Qinghai Lake, and Geshuhan specially asked Wang Sili to accompany him.

"Person Yang, please speak."

Wang Sili said with a smile.

"Actually, no matter how passive we defend, it is useless. If we cannot hurt Tubo, we must directly attack their nests. Otherwise, no matter how many times we win battles here, they will still come out as soon as they think about it. We can only wait for them to fight. Only by breaking into their nests and thoroughly cleaning can we solve this problem."

Yang Feng said.

"Everyone knows this. The first step to enter Tubo is this way. There are countless mountains and ridges along the way. The steep terrain like Shibao City is not worth mentioning. Any obstacle along the way is far beyond here. Second, the Tubo people can live in the Tubo area. Even outsiders can do nothing and do it for a lifetime, let alone fight with the Tubo people."

Wang Sili said.

"What if there is a road that doesn't have to be so troublesome?"

Yang Feng said.

"You want to talk about the way Tubo goes out of the Western Regions?"

Wang Sili asked.

It is obvious that these generals of the Tang Dynasty are relatively qualified, and he even knows the path of salt.

"No, no, that road is as difficult as it is. In fact, I can tell you why others go to Tubo for a lifetime, because their place is too high. If we start from the sea, our Mount Tai has already been at our feet. The Tubo place is equivalent to three or four Mount Tais stacked up. People like us at low places will definitely not be able to adapt to it. This cannot be changed. But we don't need to go here. We can take a simpler, shorter, or even directly attack the Tubo capital. Although we also need to walk a plateau, we don't need to walk thousands of miles, but hundreds of miles, and it is not that high. The Tubo people are not many in the area ahead of us. From here, we are all wilderness. The Tubo people are all south of this wilderness. My road can penetrate the heart."

Yang Feng said.

"Are you joking?"

Wang Sili said in surprise.

"Not joking at all, but there is a problem with this road. This trouble is that we need to take about 15,000 miles of sea route first."

Yang Feng said with a smile.

He wants to lure Li Longji out to sea.

Tubo was a major trouble in the Tang Dynasty, but the Western Regions were not worth mentioning. Li Longji didn't care about the victory or defeat of Talas at all, because victory or defeat could not affect the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. Tubo was the real big trouble. Any battle between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo was larger than the Battle of Talas, so this could be used to lure Li Longji out of the sea.

Tell him to go to India to grab Bangladesh, and then hit the heart of Tubo from the Himalayas in Asia and East Vietnam.

This strategy is absolutely feasible. With the combat effectiveness of the Indians, it is estimated that 10,000 Tang troops can easily capture Bangladesh. As long as a colony is established there, it is enough to learn from the British route to Tibet. From Asia to Lhasa, it is only three or four hundred kilometers, and it is not difficult to walk along the way. Attacking Tubo from Longyou to Tubo will take at least two thousand kilometers of plateau mountainous areas. This is impossible in this era.

But his route is possible.

Although this requires the whole country's efforts, it is necessary to build a large number of sea ships, and even more than ten years of preparation time, multiple long-distance tests, and preparations for the subtropical plagues.

However, this is not a problem for an empire, especially this empire is the most powerful empire in the world. First of all, shipping is not a problem. Du Huan returned to China on this route. The trade between the Tang Dynasty and Southeast Asia and even India has always existed, and has been far to the Middle East. Second, the northern army is of course not good, but don’t forget that the Tang Dynasty also had a Lingnan Marshal at this time, and the latter’s jurisdiction even includes northern Vietnam. The troops there can be the first batch of expeditionary forces to go to India to grab colonies. As for the ship issue, it is even less of a problem. It is still not a pressure to build hundreds of ocean-going warships with the strength of the Tang Empire.

Of course, this was not something that Wang Sili, or even Geshuhan could decide.

Lao Li has the final say.

After returning to Shanzhou after finishing his trip to Stone Fort, Yang Feng used this trick to fool Geshuhan, and then continued to move forward to Chang'an.

"The sunset is extremely beautiful, but it's almost dusk!"

Outside the far gate of Zhuma'an, Yang Feng looked at the glorious city in front of him with infinite emotion.

This is the Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty.

The most glorious cities in the world in this era, from distant Europe to the archipelago in Southeast Asia, even the coast of East Africa, and Japan on the sea. The entire world is known to have gone out of the wilderness, and it is all the names of it. It is the center of the entire world civilization. It’s a pity...

"The sky streets are all the bones of the ministers, and the inner warehouses are burned into beautiful ashes!"

He said like a charlatan.

Immediately afterwards, he urged the horse and moved forward in Li Siye's surprised gaze. Almost at the same time, a team of Haoslao rushed out of the door. A gorgeous carriage surrounded the middle, galloping on the loess road like the wind. The pedestrians on the roadside panic to avoid it. Soon, the Haoslao who led the front arrived in front of them. The leader was about to scold him, but then Li Siye urged him to come forward. He and Yang Feng's elite Anxi Army who had fought with their murderous aura instantly shocked these strong and hard-working swearing.

"What's going on?"

A lazy female voice rang out.

A jewel-like noble lady poked her head out of the carriage window.

"Lady Guo State!"

Li Siye said immediately with his fist.

"General Li is back, I'm polite!"

Lady Guo said with a smile.

Li Siye waved his hand behind, and the soldiers and carriages immediately gave way to the side. The slaves rode forward arrogantly, and the carriages of Mrs. Guo Guo also started to move. At the same time, the beautiful lady's eyes swept over Yang Feng, smiled at him with interest, and then turned behind him. Behind him was Li Xiu's stunning four-wheeled carriage. Although it was covered with dust, its unique shape was still eye-catching. She did not notice that Yang Feng was showing her a mysterious smile. At the same time, the middle finger of the right hand hidden beside the saddle suddenly bounced, and a piece of copper coin broke through the air with a vague sound of breaking through the air, hitting the min sensor organ of a horse pulling her luxury carriage like a bullet.

The power of Yang Feng's popping was not only a little stronger than the slingshot. The unlucky horse stood up with a whine and ran out immediately after falling to the ground.

Lady Guoguo screamed.

Everyone around also screamed, and the slaves hurriedly tried to stop them, but Yang Feng was hitting a horse. The horse's galloping led the other three horses to run wildly at the same time. Several slaves were immediately knocked away, and the four horses that were blocked by them turned, dragging the carriage and the terrified and screaming Lady Guoguo in the carriage and the woods ahead.

"Save people!"

Li Siye took off the Mo Dao without hesitation and shouted.

Before he could rush out, the culprit suddenly jumped up from his horse, landed on the carriage like lightning, and instantly slashed the roof of the carriage and fell into the carriage.

Almost at the same time, Li Siye rushed out. The Dayuan horse under his crotch was sprinting in shock. He caught up with the carriage and raised his sword in his hand and roared. The Mo knife cut off the silver arc. The huge force cut off the horse in an exaggerated way, like cutting off a sugarcane, and half of the dead body with inertia fell to the ground immediately, taking the other three war horses like a brake. The carriage was forced to stop, and at the same time, because of inertia, it quickly lifted up from the rear of the car. At the moment when it was lifted up, Yang Feng hugged Lady Guoguo and flew backwards, and then fell steadily.

"Madam, you are frightened!"

Yang Feng hugged Mrs. Guoguo in his strong arms, while staring into her eyes, and lowered his head in a magnetic voice.

Lady Guo looked at him as stupid as she looked at him.

Suddenly, a blush appeared on the pretty widow, who was known for her debauchery.

"More, thank you General!"

She whispered.

At the same time, she quickly left Yang Feng's arms.

"Madam, this horse is so frightened that you need to check carefully!"

Li Siye walked up to her with a bloody Mo Dao and said.

"Thank you General Li!"

Mrs. Guo said clearly without any condition.

"Then I'm saying goodbye!"

Li Siye nodded, and said that as he and Yang Feng got on their horses, they took their convoy to Anyuan Gate ahead. The Lady Guoguo looked at their departure direction in a daze. Suddenly, seeing the young general turn around and smile gently at her, Lady Guoguo immediately lowered her head in panic.

"Where do you live?"

Li Siye, who entered the city gate, asked Yang Feng.

"What does it mean, father-in-law, isn't the son-in-law living in your house?"

Yang Feng said in surprise.

"nonsense!"

Li Siye glared at him and said.

After saying that, he waved to his subordinates. The soldiers smiled and looked at the stupid Yang Feng, then surrounded Li Xiu's carriage, followed Li Siye and left Yang Feng and others. Li Xiu poked his head out of the carriage and waved goodbye to Yang Feng. Poor Yang Feng had to find a place by himself. Fortunately, two of the 36 subordinates he brought were from Jingzhao Mansion. One of them was familiar with Chang'an, and he quickly found an inn to settle down. Then Yang Feng simply took a vacation for them, carrying a bag of money to do whatever he liked. As for him, he took the eight female slaves who came with him shopping.
