After many days, the war report from the southwest came late.


    The hearts of the ministers were completely nervous with the arrival of the scouts.


    The war report in father Rong''s hand affects the hearts of every minister in the Tai Chi hall.


    Countless eyes stared quietly, holding their breath for fear of missing a character.


    The shrill and elongated voice echoed slowly on the whole Tai Chi hall.


    "On January 10, the sharp soldiers of the Tang Dynasty attacked the city in two ways and killed more than 10000 enemies. The Tubo barbarians abandoned the city and returned to the south of Tuguhun."


    "Today, all 80000 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will gather and recover Tuyuhun in a few days to greatly raise the national prestige!"


    The shrill voice, at the end of the reading, suddenly rises excitedly.


    The good news spread all over the hall.


    Hearing the exciting news, all the ministers were excited and shouted long live in the Tang Dynasty hall.


    Some old ministers, the wrinkles on their old cheeks are also stretched, and their eyes are already full of tears.


    Li Tai, standing at the head of the hall, felt a flush in his eyes, slowly stretched out his hand and said in a trembling voice.


    "Come on! Show it to gu!"


    Hearing the speech, father-in-law Rong hurried over, his eyes moist, a bright light in his eyes, and said.


    "Your Highness! Your majesty won the war, won the war!"


    After reading the letter carefully, Li Tai was also vaguely excited and waved.


    "Duke Shen, come on, take Gu to see where they are now and where they will be in the next war?"


    Gao Shilian and other important civil and military officials also followed Li Tai to the conference hall to learn about the war.


    A sand table is located under the huge map of the territory of the Tang Dynasty.


    There are overlapping peaks and gullies.


    The whole territory of the Tang Dynasty and even the surrounding countries are vividly displayed in front of everyone.


    Gao Shilian''s eyes gathered in the southwest, slowly picked up a red flag and slowly inserted it on the sand table.


    The old voice said firmly.


    "This time, your majesty, it''s here!"


    After that, Gao Shilian''s finger slowly slipped down the sand table and pointed to a place, saying.


    "This is the city your majesty wants to capture."


    The crowd followed Gao Shilian''s direction and looked over.


    The place Gao Shilian refers to is in the south corner of Tuguhun, less than a quarter of the territory.


    Fang Xuanling looked at the territory, smiled brightly and said.


    "The Tang Dynasty is elite and extremely brave!"


    "Such a big Tuyuhun has been recovered by the sharp scholar of Datang. This small city will return to Datang again in less than three days!"


    "Your Majesty, don''t lose your courage!"


    After hearing what Fang Xuanling said, many old ministers also showed a happy face and nodded.


    "This Tubo is so bold that it even invades our country of the Tang Dynasty. This is a lesson!"


    This commendation immediately attracted the approval of all the ministers.


    "Tubo overestimated his strength and wanted to compete with our Tang Dynasty. His majesty, led by Mr. Wang, must pull out his fangs and cut off his claws to see how he could dominate the southwest!"


    "What Lord Lai said is true! This battle will certainly frighten the southwest countries! Show off the power of the Tang Dynasty!"


    Every word you say to me is full of praise.


    Listening to the praise in his ears, Hou Junji, one of the ministers, suddenly stared at the place where the red chess pieces were less than an inch on the sand table.


    For this veteran who has been Garrisoning the border for many years, this area is very familiar in China.


    There is abundant grass and flat terrain. Further on, there are continuous mountains.


    Every winter, herdsmen harvest withered grass and store forage for cattle, sheep and horses.


    But if the withered grass is used in military affairs, it is a natural defense line.


    The withered grass in winter is dry and flammable. If a piece of withered grass ignites a flame, it will be a disaster!


    It''s just that the fierce fire will ravage the whole plain along the cold wind.


    What''s more terrible is that without the supplement of these natural grass sources, it will be a great consumption for marching and fighting.


    These things have been used once in the last war against Tubo.


    Hou Junji firmly believes that this time, Tubo people are bound to repeat their old skills.


    Sure enough, the veteran Gao Shilian had thought of this place, slightly frowned and waved his hand slowly.


    Seeing that the people were gradually quiet, Gao Shilian slowly pointed to the direction Hou Junji saw and said.


    "In this place, as early as five or six years ago, there was a plan by Tibetans to burn grass and stop the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty."


    "This time, these Tubo people are afraid to repeat their old skills."


    "However, in the last war, more than half of the Tang cavalry consumed a lot of forage."


    After that, Gao Shilian looked dignified, his eyes revealed a little worry, and said slowly.


    "This time, the sharp scholars of the Tang Dynasty insisted on expelling the Tubo barbarians from Tuyuhun. It is a war of life and death."


    "If something goes wrong, I''m afraid that half of the horses will starve to death, and half of the cavalry in the Tang Dynasty will lose their ability to fight."


    "So, Tang''s elite teacher is in a dilemma and in danger!"


    This analysis, like a basin of cold water, quenched the joy of everyone''s heart, and suddenly cooled from the top of the head to the instep of the foot.


    There was no sound in the silent hall, and the stunned ministers looked at each other and couldn''t say a word.
