The Protectorate has a total of more than 100,000 troops!

The area south of Tubo New City has become one of the origins of its war. If it is not captured here, the Tang army in Hexi will have to garrison its troops on the Liangzhou line and will no longer be able to support the Western Regions.

Therefore, Cui Xiyi chose this as the first stop to break the situation.

The armies in Hexi selected 3,000 young and strong warriors under the age of twenty to form an independent army, led by Wang Zhongsi, the envoy of the Chishui Army.

There were also ten military medical officers who used the common medicinal material Solomabu (Rhodiola rosea) in Tubo, and a small amount of Codonopsis pilosula, yam, and astragalus to prepare a prescription for the urgent needs of the army! Solomabu was in the Tibetan army.

It was specially used for daily marches by Zampu and senior officers. Tang Jun had already received the information, but he didn't know the reason, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

After Fang Chongyong proposed the theory of yang qi, Hexi Jiedu Prefecture urgently purchased a batch of solomabu and formulated corresponding prescriptions for "lung deficiency syndrome" to deal with special situations during the march.

In order to reduce the burden on the body, the Tang army did not wear iron armor on this trip, but replaced it with light leather armor. One person and two horses ensured horse power.

The altitude of the Hexi Corridor (not the mountain range) is about one thousand meters, while the altitude of Tubo New City is between 3,500 and 4,000 meters.

After three days of rapid march, Wang Zhongsi finally arrived at the entrance of Laohugou.

At this moment, the mountains and plains are full of wildflowers. On both sides of the sloping and winding road, there are hills of different shapes.

Each mountain is not high, but the overall slope is upward. The terrain here can be said to be open and complex. The Tubo New City, standing on a flat ledge, is on a hill not far away. Viewed from a distance

, the low city wall seemed to be only as thick as a fingernail.

The city is a small city, but the terrain is too high, making it difficult to attack.

Wang Zhongsi squinted his eyes and looked at the Tubo New City on the ledge of a nearby hill, wondering whether to rush up on horseback or let his soldiers climb up the mountain.

The terrain of the grassland and the official road are completely different. Although the ground looks "flat", the actual march is completely different.

Horses can walk on flat ground on the grassland, but when people run on the grassland, they can easily fall down and feel that there are potholes everywhere.

The open terrain of Tubo New City guarded this broad and winding traffic "main road", so the Tibetan soldiers could not hide. The Tubo defenders were not blind, and there would definitely be a tough battle.

The only difference lies in when Tang Jun should take action!

"The envoy of the king's army can use the trick of suspecting the enemy. At night, he sends a hundred people holding gongs and drums to make noise in front of the new city. When the enemy troops leave the city, we will retreat immediately. The Tubo people do not know the enemy's situation and will definitely not dare to pursue.

This happened for three consecutive days, leaving the Tibetan people unable to sleep peacefully.

If they dare to pursue them later, our ambush will kill them all in one fell swoop.

If they don't pursue us, we will attack the city during the day in three days. The Tubo people are accustomed to dealing with our harassment at night and will be in low spirits during the day, but they can be defeated in a single battle!"

Cui Qianyou, who was beside Wang Zhongsi, suggested in a low voice. This expedition was strongly recommended by Kang Taihe, so Cui Qianyou also joined the team as a tenth general, in charge of a team of 500 people.

Cui Qianyou regards it as the only channel for promotion!

After listening to the other party's suggestion, Wang Zhongsi remained silent and expressed his attitude without expressing any objection.

Cui Qianyou was secretly happy, and then continued to suggest: "Envoy Wang, we can graze half of the horses in the mountains during the day and exchange them the next day.

Let the Tibetan defenders be arrogant and look down on us. If we can lure them out of the city to seize horses, all the trouble will be saved."

"Okay, you will handle the night raid in person. I will make arrangements for other matters."

Wang Zhongsi nodded slightly and said that he had adopted Cui Qianyou's suggestion.

"If you get the order, the general will definitely do it well!"

Cui Qianyou excitedly raised his hands and saluted.

Ever since Hebei was dismissed from the military by Fang Youde without reason, Cui Qianyou thought he would be like this for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect things to turn around!

Making great achievements is just around the corner!

…

"what is this?"

Fang Chongyong pointed to a bare bush and asked Anaye.

"Isn't this just wolfberry? You don't know everything, why are you still asking me?"

Anaye said angrily. Fang Chongyong's good temper also made her speak without any scruples.

"Hey, I was just joking. Of course I know that one is wolfberry."

Fang Chongyong smiled awkwardly, waved his hand, pointed at a completely unfamiliar plant not far away and said, "What about this one?"

"This is fennel. It can be used in cooking and medicine, but it can't be used as a big medicine."

Anaye also put away her temper and started explaining in a very professional manner.

For a child who works in a medical clinic all day long, practicing medicine and asking for medicine is her whole life, at least most of it.

"Fennel."

Fang Chongyong was silent.

This thing is useful, but it can't be sold for a lot of money. It has the same properties as wolfberry.

"Let's go and look elsewhere."

Fang Chongyong turned around to leave, but Anaye suddenly grabbed his sleeve.

"The medicines here, and even the medicines in Hexi as a whole, cannot be sold at a reasonable price. I have been taking medicines since I was a few years old. I know best what medicines cost, so don't waste your efforts."

Anaye begged Fang Chongyong and continued: "Your legs are better, why don't you take more rest and do such an impossible thing?"

"Medicine and prescription are two different things. If you go to Chang'an to study medicine in the future, this will be your first lesson. Only medical officers who can prescribe medicine will be respected. If you just prescribe medicine, then you will only Being able to work hard at the bottom of this industry.

I will let you know soon what it means to be worth a thousand pieces of gold.

I teach you for free, no money is required."

Fang Chongyong waved his hand to Anaye and walked forward on his own.
