In order to help the Tubo Hozen sell medicinal materials, Gu Qing worked very hard and even got punched by Huangfu Sisi unjustly.

If Raza Wang knew that Mr. Gu had endured humiliation and sacrifice for his friend, he would definitely follow him.

Huangfu Sisi didn't understand why Gu Qing suddenly helped sell medicinal materials to the Tibetan people. Gu Qing didn't bother to explain. He just told her to do as he said, not to ask the reason, and not to worry about the result.

Seeing Gu Qing's cryptic look, Huangfu Sisi snorted angrily, but still agreed.

"Every time the Marquis comes to my shop, he either eats for nothing or is in debt, or smashes the shop or orders me to do things. The Marquis is really rude to me..." Huangfu Sisi's charming appearance returned, and she was full of amorous feelings.

He glanced sideways at him.

Gu Qing smiled and said: "We are not friends. There is no need to be too polite between friends. Look, I owe you one hundred taels of silver cake and still refuse to pay it back. Am I being polite to you?"

Huangfu Sisi laughed angrily at his shameless expression: "Master Hou, this is not something worth showing off. If you say it so shamelessly, do you think it's honorable not to pay back the money you owe?"

"Shameful, but happy." Gu Qing smiled and said: "It's the uncle who owes me the money, so I asked you to help me and you agreed honestly, which made me more determined not to pay back the debt."

Huangfu Sisi threw a wink at Gu Qing that meant "dead ghost" and hummed: "It's not impossible for me to do things for the Marquis. The Marquis must give me an explanation, right? Or tell me the whole story.

Why do you want to help the Tubo people sell medicinal materials, or..."

Huangfu Sisi suddenly showed a shy expression, lowered her head and whispered softly: "Either the Marquis will take me back, I will be the Marquis's from now on, and I will do whatever the Marquis asks me to do, and I will never ask another question."

Character."

Gu Qing glanced at her: "Can I take you into Leifeng Pagoda? Stop being a monster and do as I say. If you need to use the power of the government to spread the rumors of Tianshan Snow Lotus..."

As he spoke, Gu Qing suddenly showed a mysterious smile and said: "You don't need to find me if you use the power of the government. I believe that there is a supporter for the girl in Jiedushi's government. You can just find him. In short, I don't ask about the process, but the result."

.The result I want is that within ten days all the women in Qiuci know about Tianshan Snow Lotus and that it can be used to treat dysmenorrhea and uterine cold, and then they search the whole city to buy this medicine but can't find it."

Speaking of the backers of the Jiedushi government, Huangfu Sisi looked flustered. He straightened his hair and hair and said with a forced smile: "I don't have any backers from the government, but since the Marquis has given me the order, I will definitely do it. No."

A backer can also handle things properly for Mr. Hou and never let him down."

Gu Qing smiled and said: "You look very embarrassed when you try to cover up, but you look beautiful when you agree to help me."

After saying that, Gu Qing stood up and left.

Seeing Gu Qing leaving without any regret, the smile on Huangfu Sisi's face gradually solidified, and there was a trace of guilt and struggle in his beautiful eyes.

"We can't go on any longer. He has already seen that I have a backer. With his cleverness, he will reveal everything about me in a short time. How unbearable I will be then..." Huangfu Sisi murmured

murmured.

…………

In the commander's tent of the Qiuci camp, Gu Qing sat under the candlestick, writing notes and writing notes.

Every time I write a sentence, my pen hangs in mid-air. After contemplating for a long time, I slowly start writing again.

This is a piece of advice called "His Majesty the Emperor's Strategy to Conquer Tubo", which describes in detail Gu Qing's strategic plan to conquer Tubo.

This is an overall situation that Gu Qing cannot complete with his own ability. He is just the person who arranged the plan, but he needs the unreserved support of the imperial court to implement it.

You cannot defeat a country by yourself, but if you use the power of one country to defeat another country, your chances of winning are much greater.

The only question now is whether Li Longji is willing to believe him and whether he has the courage to take a gamble with him, a young minister.

It is undeniable that this strategic layout is a bit risky. If any link is exposed, it may fail. The material resources and manpower invested in the early stage will be wasted.

But everything has its disadvantages and advantages. In comparison, the advantages of this matter outweigh the disadvantages.

Gu Qing used a strategy of extermination against Tibet, which was also called an economic war or a trade war in the post-secular world.

The early stages were laid to induce the Tibetan people to plant cash crops such as various medicinal materials instead of their highland barley crops, and then purchase the medicinal materials they grew at high prices. After a year or two, the Tubo people tasted the benefits, and even the nobles of Tubo tasted the benefits.

The powerful people also tasted the sweetness, so no one planted highland barley in the only 1% of the cultivated land in Tubo, and instead planted various medicinal materials.

The production of highland barley, Tubo's staple food, will inevitably decrease significantly in one or two years, making it difficult to supply the people and the army. They can only use money to buy grain from neighboring countries, and the only neighboring country near Tubo that is rich in grain is Datang.

So Tubo and the Tang Dynasty could only form a strange relationship of being both friends and enemies. We are still hostile, but it does not prevent me from buying your food. Unknowingly, the lifeline of Tubo's food is slowly in the hands of the Tang Dynasty.

, and the initiative in the war was also in the hands of the Tang Dynasty.

Once the Tang Dynasty decided to attack Tubo, it only had to cut off the food supply to Tubo a year in advance and then raise troops to attack. At that time, the Tubo people would not even have enough to eat, and they had nowhere to buy food if they had money. Then the army would still have

How much fighting power is left?

If a country's army cannot even supply basic food, it is not far from national subjugation.

This strategy is truly a desperate strategy, and its viciousness is even more vicious than an open war.

The war was just a desperate struggle between the two armies, and tens of thousands of people died, which was considered very tragic. However, Gu Qing's plan of exterminating households could deprive the people of the entire Tubo country of food, and more than a million people died.

The early stage of the strategy was a conspiracy, and the later stage of the strategy was an outright conspiracy. Even if the Tubo people came to their senses at that time, without a year or two to correct the chaos and restore farming, they would not be able to breathe. In these two years, the Tang Dynasty

Once you take the initiative, there are so many opportunities.

This strategy was not the first of its kind by Gu Qing. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, the monarch of Qi State worshiped Guan Zhong as his prime minister. Guan Zhong made suggestions for Qi State and purchased large quantities of cloth from neighboring Lu State. He did not hesitate to spend huge sums of money to raise the price to buy from Lu State. The people of Lu State

After benefiting from the benefits, the whole country weaved and spun silk, and no one farmed the land anymore. The money earned from selling cloth was used to buy Qi's food, and gradually became dependent on Qi's food.

Later, Guan Zhong ordered to cut off the food supply to Lu, and the huge vassal states fell apart. The people of Lu fled to Qi one after another. In the end, Qi's troops engulfed Lu without bloodshed.

Gu Qing used this method, which seemed gentle and harmless, but was actually extremely vicious.

How did the frog die? It enjoyed the comfortable warm water for too long. When the warm water turned into boiling water, it couldn't jump out even if it wanted to.

Taking into account the current relationship and situation between the Tang Dynasty and Tibet, as well as the cultivated land area of ​​the two countries, as well as their respective national strength, grain output, prices, etc., Gu Qing's use of this family-killing strategy was just right.

When deciding to implement this plan, Gu Qing also thought and weighed it for a long time.

This strategy would cost Datang a lot, especially money and food. But if this strategy was successful, Datang's benefits would be unimaginably rich.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the country of Tubo has been a major concern for the monarchs and ministers of all dynasties. From Zhenguan to Tianbao, more than a hundred years have passed, and this major concern has not been eliminated. Instead, the combat power of the two countries' armies has waxed and waned.

, Tubo gradually turned from defense to offense and took the offensive against Datang.

What Gu Qing wants to do is to stab Tubo hard in the heart when the Tang Dynasty is about to be at its weakest. We all need to be brothers in distress, and no one can take advantage of the situation. If we are lucky, maybe the Tang Dynasty will be able to return the favor.

I can free my hands to destroy Tubo.

The plan is perfect, but it is very difficult to execute.

Gu Qing himself didn't have much confidence, but from the perspective of protecting Anxi's jurisdiction, he must also let the Tubo people stop when Anxi was empty.

…………

At the beginning of winter, the city of Kucha deep in the desert also feels the cold.

In the desert dozens of miles away from Qiuci City, a barbarian caravan was traveling along the Western Trade Road.

Duan Wuji and Feng Yu, wrapped in thick blankets, were each riding a camel listlessly. Feng Yu looked up at the sky and suddenly sneezed hard.

"I'm really frustrated and crazy. Why did I tell Sister Huaiyu that I want to come to Anxi to practice... The Tang Dynasty is so big, it's not good to practice anywhere. I have to go to Anxi, a place where birds don't lay eggs..." Feng Yu rode on a camel

He sighed.

Young men are always willful and impulsive, so many people after middle age often recall their youth with half nostalgia and half regret.

Because of the boy's decision, he couldn't stay the night and changed his mind as soon as he woke up. Yesterday's vow became the perfect reason to slap himself in the face today.

Seeing Feng Yu's expression of pain, Duan Wuji on the side smiled faintly.

Compared to Feng Yu, who was noisy and lively, Duan Wuji was undoubtedly much more stable. He was only two years older than Feng Yu, but he looked like a weathered middle-aged man in his thirties, with a polite smile on his face.

His eyes are filled with stories of vicissitudes of life.

"I heard from the leader of the caravan that we are less than thirty miles away from Kucha City. In other words, we will see Brother Gu soon. If you have any complaints, just say it. When we meet Brother Gu, you can

It's best to keep your mouth shut. It doesn't matter if Brother Gu drives you back to Shiqiao Village. Don't let me get hurt." Duan Wuji said calmly.

Feng Yu said with a playful smile: "Oh, I'm just talking casually. You see, I have all kinds of complaints, but I still come to Qiuci City honestly like you? Brother Duan, you know me, I

In other words, my mouth is a bit broken..."

Duan Wuji shook his head: "I don't know you. I may have known you before, but I have become very unfamiliar with you after setting off from Chang'an. According to my understanding of you, you should be studying in Chang'an obediently like Feng Fusheng and others at this time.
