Chisong Dezan felt the seriousness of the situation, so he left Luoshe City again, set up the den in the palace in Shanzhou, and then summoned the Shanghe Renren to discuss such countermeasures.

What Chisong Dezan expected this time was that among the people present, Shang Jiezan, Ma Chongying, On Mangre, On Fate, Shang Qixiner, etc., they all believed that I, Dafan, can no longer fight with the Tang family now, and this time is definitely not the time for a decisive battle.

Among them, Shang Qixin'er's attitude is the most pessimistic and negative, pointing to the map and saying to Zamp:

Yunnan has already joined forces with the Tang family on Diancang Mountain, and now it has restored its former name "Nanzhao". Yi Mouxun accepted the title of the Emperor of the Tang family, and began to station troops in large numbers at the iron bridge at the junction of Xifan and Nanzhao, staring at our territory;

After the previous defeat in Taideng City, the land that Dafan operated in Yunling was destroyed by the tribe. Now Wei Gao has subdued the entire Dongman and half of the Xishan Qiang, as well as the salt pond in Kunming Lake. He is strong and fights against us;

On the front line of Longshan, Gao Yue already owns Hechi. Qiuchishan and Shuiluo City. Cheng and Qinzhou in Longyou are always under the clamping offensive of Gao Yue's army and are in danger;

To the north, the Tang family is now in harmony with the Uighurs. The Uighurs' troops can cross Futuchuan at any time and join forces with the garrison of the other side Anxi Beiting, making things difficult for me;

The worst thing is my host. If Gao Yue comes, I want troops but no soldiers, no food. Nowadays, almost most of the Han people and Wendu are rebelling or on the verge of rebellion. There are dozens of mountain and water villages established by Wendu in the host and northern areas. They are like gangrene, and they are inciting riots everywhere and resist rent. My "large materials collection" can only collect less than one-third of the manpower and wealth.

In short, Shang Qixin'er meant that if the Tang army crossed Longshan and came west in autumn, there was no need to fight. The entire east road, Shan, He, Tao, Wei, Dang, Cheng, Qin, Huizhou, Dafan's rule here will basically collapse automatically.

Zamp's face turned blue when he heard these words. He moved uneasyly on the blanket and repeatedly said, "Damn it, is there no way?"

There is still a way, but Shang Qixin's "method" below made Zanpu angry. He advocated simply giving up the entire host of Longyou to the Tang family, and then we burned all the city and farmland, and took all the Han people into the natural dangers of Hequ in Qinghai to build a fortification. The Tang people suddenly got such a large area of ​​barren land as Longyou. The troops here wanted fields but no land, and no one. The Tang family had only two roads: either transfer money and grain from the east of Longshan to maintain the garrison, or spend a lot of effort to allow the army to farm and subsist in the local area. The former could drag down the Tang finances, and if the latter wanted to succeed, it would not be possible for three to five years. Our Dafan could take this opportunity to rest and rest, accumulate energy, and then enter Longyou when the time was ripe and compete with the Tang army for power. At that time, there was a Fangzhen rebellion in the east of the Tang family, and we would definitely not be able to take care of ourselves. Our Dafan could win a complete victory.

"Give up the soil, you can think of it!" Shang Jiezan's tone was very fierce at this time, accusing Shang Qixin'er of her cowardice.

Ma Chongying also said that if we give up Longyou, my Hexi will be in danger. If Hexi is trapped again, Tangjia Helong will be connected with Anxi Beiting. Then the expansion achievements of our Dafan over the past decades will be completely destroyed.

"Earlier, my Dafan army did not leave Qinghai, nor did it have Anxi and Helong. However, with the prosperity of the Tang family at that time, it could not surpass Dafeichuan. It was wise to retreat at the right time and retain strength." Shang Qixin'er still insisted.

However, the great debates in Qinghai and the great debates in South Dao were afraid to speak out. They knew in their hearts that the dispute between the two sides actually represented the hatred between the Caibang clan where the Queen of Xibo was located and the Naang clan, the most powerful Western breeze.

As for Mangre, he has now begun to turn to Cai Bang's side, for no reason, the entire Nang family hated him to the core: because in the battle of Taidengcheng, he was afraid of Shang Jiezan's eldest son Qizang's death and the destruction of Qizang's army.

Zanpu was not willing to abandon Longyou. He was very sad and helpless: "The defeat of Anlechuan and Huating were defeated again when he arrived in Taideng City. He lost tens of thousands of troops. Ertou Man of Yunnan surrendered to Tang, Shatuo surrendered to Tang, Achai (Tuyuhun) surrendered to Tang, and the Dangqiang was completely wiped out, so the current decline was so. If Longyou was not abandoned to resist, could Ben Yongzhong continue to maintain his rule over this plateau?"

Finally, he said: "If the host is invaded by the Tang army, will the southern and northern roads be fully supported?"

Ma Chongying and Lu Mangre said yes.

Shang Qi Xin'er was very embarrassed. He knew the truth he had just said, but he had made himself the target of public criticism and lost Zanpu's favor.

The words of several great theories who vowed to support the host made Zanpu's heart slightly calmer. Then he smiled and comforted everyone or himself: "The Tang Dynasty had just captured the Tongwan City of Shuofang. The soldiers and horses were injured and exhausted, and the money was also extremely expensive. The autumn moon this year may not be able to cross Longshan to invade our territory." Then Zanpu pointed to the mountain and river situation map made in sheepskin and said his strategic plan, "If the Tang army did not come, each road would build more barriers at key passes and make every effort to clear out the mountains and rivers built by Wenmo; if the Tang army came to the host road, the southern road would stick to the defense of Wei Gao, Qinghai Middle Road and Hexi North Road sent troops to reinforce Shang Qixin'er and resist Gao Yue. I will send another general to fight against the Uighurs who came from the north with white subdued white and Geluo as a servant."

Zanpu also came up with a very genius strategy at this time: "The Tang family wooed Yunnan, the Uighurs came to trap me, and Dafan could also win over the enemy's enemies to rescue the siege."

So Zamp thought that a country further north that had hatred with the Uighurs was Khikas.

"How far is that country from the Uighurs?"

The answer I got was that it took forty days to travel from the tent of Aerkhan in the Qingshan Mountains to the royal court of the Uighurs to the tent of the camel.

Arekhan's mother was Tuqi Shiren, and his wife was even the daughter of Geluo Yehu, who was the target that Xifan could fight for.

"It's not too far for the soldiers on the grassland." Zamp immediately decided to send an envoy to take the tour of Geluo and go to the north of Tanman Mountain to find the tent of the Khagas. "I only told him that I, Dafan, would like to help you defeat the Uighurs, and don't mention the affairs of the Tang family."

In addition, Zanpu also said that Ben Yongzhong had received the exact news that the secret of the Tang family's repeated victory in conquering cities and lands is that they used a new weapon, which can be large or small, and cast a cylinder with copper and iron, filled it with igniting medicine stones inside and made a violent fire, pushing the projectile out, killing people and destroying the wall. Padmasambhava told Ben Yongzhong that some people knew the techniques of making and using this medicine stone in Tianzhu and Dashi, so Ben Yongzhong had a heavy reward pattern and wanted to recruit craftsmen from the Hezhongdi, and also created firearms for our Dafan that were enough to match the Tang family.
