After the Tang army showed the reward order, there were indeed people who came to offer advice.

The most active ones are the Qiang chiefs of the eight kingdoms of the Xishan Mountains.

The eight countries in the West Mountain are the Qiangwo Kingdom, the neighboring country, the soft water country, the Tongren Kingdom, the Qingyuan Kingdom, the Baigou Kingdom, the Southern Kingdom and the Xidong Kingdom. They live in all parts of Victoria. Sometimes they will provide information to the Tang army under the bribe of Wei Gao, but sometimes they will be bribed by the Western Body to lead the way for the foreign army. Therefore, Wei Gao secretly called them "two-sided Qiang".

"The chiefs of these eight countries are called "proposals", but in fact they are obsessed with profit, and the strategies they offer may not be true." In the tabernacle, Wei Gao, wearing a fur, said to Gao Yue who was burning in the fire.

Gao Yue thought for a while, then smiled and asked Wei Gao: "Which brother has seen is the chief of which country is a little loyal and which country is the most treacherous?"

Wei Gao's intelligence network is quite familiar with the eight countries in Xishan, so he said: "With his brother-in-law, Wang Dong Woting, Dong Liluo and his son are relatively loyal, while Deng Youxian of the White Dog Kingdom is the most cunning."

When Gao Yue rubbed his hands confidently when he heard this, he said that we might as well make a plan to make good use of these two-sided Qiang, and at the same time, induce the main force of Xifan to fight against me through Pengpo Mountain.

At this time, Gao Yue stood up and through the window of the curtain, he saw Wuyou City standing among the gray peaks under the setting sun. There were only a few small roads to access. The city was high and the building was deep, and there was sufficient food and water supply: even if I had cannons, it was useless. Wuyou City could not set up any heavy siege equipment on all sides.

But now Lumangre in the city should be very anxious. What he is anxious about is not the fall of Wuyou City, but the rebellion of the Qiang and barbarians under his rule, and what is anxious about is the fall of Songzhou, Yizhou and other surrounding areas.

"This time I still have to apply a strategy."

After Gao Yue finished thinking, he told Wei Gao that this was the case.

The next day, Wei Gao promoted the tent in the newly built small town, and summoned the Qiang chiefs of the eight kingdoms of Xishan who were dependent on the Tang army, the Qiang chiefs of the left fence, and the barbaric ghost lord Gao Wantang of Yazhouhui, and said with a melancholy expression: "Although I, the general and Ji Gong built Dinglian to siege Weizhou City and the small fences of the two cities, the transfer of military rations can only be from the Xishan Mountain of Shu Capital. The road is tortuous and consume a lot of money. The army warehouse grain accumulated by the four towns of Xichuan, Xingyuan, Dongchuan and even Fengxiang has been five out of ten. I have asked Judge Liu to use a boat to raise grain at Jingnan, Shandong, and Kuifu. But in the end, it is not a good idea to stop the troops from this city. You all know the geography - if Xifan is brave enough to attack me and Ji Gong through Pengpo Mountain, how should we get there?"

At this time, a group of chiefs were in an uproar and they were talking about each other.

Wei Gao then asked the tooth soldiers around him to bring gold, silver and treasures, saying that these were worth 30,000 guan. If someone offered his advice, it would be beneficial to the battle. There would be a subsequent Shu brocade of 70,000 guan.

At this moment, the neighbor King Dong Woting and the barbarian ghost lord Gao Wantang both stood up and made a sincere suggestion: "It is difficult to capture Wuyou City on the front. If there is less than half a month left, there will be snow here, roads and valleys are obscured, and the soldiers will be unable to support it. If the Xifan army took the opportunity to attack at that time, our army would be defeated."

After hearing this, Wei Gao, who was arrogant and arrogant, immediately looked unhappy, "According to the two of you, this time, the troops were returned in vain, and it was just a waste of money and food?"

"Liangshou and Duke Ji, a team of elite cavalry may be buried in the Songzhou field, or he may leave Diezhou Hechuan to attack Shang Qixin'er from the East Road of Xifan..."

"But Shang Qixin'er shrank to the death and guarded the Hehuang area of ​​Shanzhou and did not come out, so what can I do?" Wei Gao's tone became irritated, and then he said to Dong Woting, "I have set a million-yuan reward. As long as someone can seize this Wuyou City for me and Ji Gong, the gateway to the East of the West Band will be opened. Will no one of you be attracted by this reward?"

Dong Woting sighed deeply and replied: "It's not that we don't want to get this reward, but that Dunbing Wuyou's city is too dangerous. I also asked Lian Zheng to temporarily withdraw his siege and build fortresses in Maozhou and Yizhou, and slowly advance."

"Impossible!" Wei Gao became furious, "This time I, Tang, sent 100,000 troops, and spent millions of yuan in money and grain. If I could not even take down Wuyou City, I would let down the Holy Lord's wishes. I would be ashamed."

Dong Woting was also preparing to persuade him. Sure enough, Tang Lizhi from the Qiangwo Kingdom and Deng Youxian from the Baigou Kingdom stood up and offered advice to Wei Gao: "There should be less than 10,000 troops in Wuyou City. Guhong, Nangong, Lacheng and other military towns in the south were seriously damaged before. When the Western Fan reinforcements came, they could only go to Pengpo Mountain Pass. Since that is the case, why should the general be afraid?"

Wei Gao suddenly smiled and pointed his fingers at Tang Lizhi and Deng Youxian, "If you have a good plan, you can just say it."

Deng Youxian took the opportunity to say: "Wuyoucheng has two mountains in the north and south, called Diboling in the south and Pengpo Mountain in the north, which are both important roads for entry and exit. Now the former is under the control of my Tang Dynasty. Now, only Lian Shuai needs to continue to siege Wuyoucheng, and let Gao Jigong go to the Pingrong Old City at the foot of Pengpo Mountain to build a new barrier to isolate Wuyoucheng and Xifan. Then even if there is a 100,000 army in Xifan, it will not be possible."

Then Deng Youxian raised his tone, "Even if he can't capture Wuyou City for the time being, Lian Shuai and Ji Gong can still set up forts and guards in Wei, Yi, Jing, Bao, Ba, Tu and other prefectures and counties, and with the assistance of the Qiang people, this Wuyou will be completely turned into an isolated city. If he has not seen reinforcements for a long time, people will be in chaos. When Lian Shuai sees the opportunity to take measures, he will be able to take them!"

Wei Gao nodded and praised Deng Youxian happily. Then he said that 70,000 guan of money will be given to you Baigou Qiang, 30,000 guan will be given to Qiangwomen, and 100,000 guan will be given to you.

But Dong Woting was shocked. He tried hard to persuade Wei Gao that Pingrong was a hundred miles away and that the news could not be conveyed in a short period of time. Lianshuo and Ji Gong were too far away and gaps between each other, and it was difficult to support each other. If they were defeated one by one by the Western Fan, these tens of thousands of soldiers would be destroyed, which was a repeat of the same mistake (the defeat of the Jiannan Jiedushi Wang Yu in Pingrong City in the 26th year of Kaiyuan).

But Wei Gao was quite angry with Dong and asked Yabing to expel him and Gao Wantang together.

Then Wei Gao asked the Baigou Kingdom and the Qiang Nu Kingdom to assist Gao Yue's Dingwu Army and the Yining Army to build a city at the foot of Pengpo Mountain to block the possible reinforcements in Xifan.

Sure enough, Gao Yue also agreed with this plan.

Pengpo Mountain is covered with snow on the top of the mountain. A small amount of streams and springs are removed from it, and there is no yellow and black gravel that cannot burn soil to build a city, and there is no wood for cutting down vertical fences.

Gao Yue told Tang Lizhi and Deng Youxian that we will be able to set up the car city.

Dingwu Army and Yining Army each had hundreds of light and heavy vehicles. Gao Yue ordered to connect them with belts and chains, circled them into a crescent moon shape, and lie in the old Taoist path of Pingrong.
