Of course, Li Zaixing said this sentence as a pretentious saying, to make Li Mi feel that he is different and worth dating. However, he is by no means absurd - he talks nonsense and makes nonsense in front of Li Mi, obviously not a clever way of doing it. He said this because he had been stationed in Tibet for many years, knew a lot about the importance of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and had more than a thousand years of historical heritage. Even when facing a strategist and politician like Li Mi, his views are high enough to arouse Li Mi's interest and thus gain his respect.

Li Mi seemed to see through Li Zaixing's thoughts, and shook his head with a smile: "Tubo is indeed powerful, but it is not enough to become a confidant of my Tang Dynasty. Brother, you are a little over-concerned."

Li Zaixing glanced at Li Mi sideways, raised the corner of his mouth, and smiled as if he was smiling: "Li Sanlang, you probably want to say that I was exaggerating and talking big, right?"

Li Mi waved his hand with a smile, not admitting or denying it.

Li Zaixing lowered his head, looked at his toes, thought for a moment, and when he raised his head again, the smile on his face disappeared, and it became a little more serious, as if what he was going to say was a very important thing. Seeing that he was so serious, Li Mi also became a little serious inexplicably.

"Sanlang, fighting between the two countries is like a two-man fighting skill. Both sides have offensive and defensive attacks and defensive attacks and who wins and loses depends on whether the attack is strong enough and whether the defense is strict enough. If one side is on the defensive, he can only passively respond, but the other side can attack at any time, and it is possible to kill with one blow. Do you think, can both sides still be evenly matched?"

Li Mi's eyes tightened, and he wanted to speak but stopped. Li Zaixing's words were very vague, but Li Mi was smart enough. He already understood what Li Zaixing meant. Whether fighting against the Turks on the Central Plains or fighting against the Tubo, they were in a passive situation because the Hu people could easily enter and exit the Central Plains, while the army in the Central Plains was difficult to easily enter and exit the grassland or plateau. The reason why the Tang Dynasty could relieve the threat of the Turks was because Li Jing and others seized the fighter opportunity and went deep into the grassland several times, severely damaging the main force of the Turks, which caused the powerful Turks to fall apart.

The Hu people on the grassland have always been a major concern for the Central Plains dynasty. First there were the Huns, then Xianbei, and then Turks. God knows what else would happen later. The Central Plains dynasty has always been on the defensive. Only under certain opportunities, with strong national strength and genius commanders, go deep into the grassland and dealt severely, can temporary peace be achieved, and at other times, they are basically passive defensive situations.

However, since the Tang Dynasty could penetrate deep into the grasslands and important Turks, why could not penetrate deep into Tubo and actively seek a decisive battle?

Facing Li Mi's question, Li Zaixing nodded: "Of course. The plateau and the grassland have similarities, but they are very different. Our Tang Dynasty cavalry can go deep into the grassland to fight to the decisive battle, but cannot go deep into the plateau to fight to the decisive battle, which determines that our army can only defend passively."

"What is the difference between a plateau and a grassland?" Li Mi disagreed: "Isn't it all wide and sparsely populated, so is it inconvenient to march?"

Li Zaixing looked at Li Mi in surprise, his eyes a little strange, as if he felt that Li Mi was saying this very inappropriate. Li Mi also became a little uneasy, realizing that he might have said something wrong.

Li Zaixing paused and asked, "Have you climbed the mountain?"

Li Mi nodded, but didn't know why Li Zaixing suddenly mentioned this topic.

"Are you a little breathless when you climb to the highest point?"

Li Mi nodded again, and then retorted: "I was exhausted from climbing and naturally asthma, what is this related to Tubo?"

"Otherwise." Li Zaixing shook his head, with a smirk on his lips. He knew that he had found Li Mi's shortcomings. He was smart enough and read a lot, but due to the times and experience, he was not very clear about some things. "If it is a mountain, as long as it is high enough, you will feel breathless even if you don't move on it."

Li Mi shook his head. He had no such experience: "Songshan is also very high, why don't I feel like this?"

Li Zaixing shook his head. Not to mention Songshan, the so-called Five Mountains are only one or two thousand meters, which is not worth mentioning compared to the high altitude of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Is the roof of the world famous? He did not talk to Li Mi anymore and decided to keep it a mystery. "If you have the chance in the future, you will know how big the difference is. Now you have a talk on paper, and you will have no impression of it."

Li Mi was greatly hit and knew that he was despised by Li Zaixing. He was smart since childhood and was called a child prodigy. Wherever he went, few people could look down on him so much in terms of knowledge. However, both Li Zaixing and his disciples looked down on him, which was really frustrating. He decided not to ask Li Zaixing and find an opportunity to learn about it by himself. Looking at Li Zaixing's expression, he believed that Li Zaixing knew something that he didn't understand. Li Zaixing grew up in the mountains and had no experience at all. His insights probably came from the mysterious lazy monk.

It is indeed a rare opportunity to have a good master. I spent so much effort to say a few words to the lazy monk, but in the end I was still happy. However, Li Zaixing lived with the lazy monk for more than ten years. Such an opportunity was not something I could hope for.

Li Mi secretly envied himself, but his face was not easy to show, and he was still so faint.

"When are you going to start?"

"Of course, the faster the better." Li Zaixing looked up at the sky, sighed with concern for the country and the people: "Time is no longer there. The world is uneasy, so I have no intention of traveling here, seeking immortals and asking questions."

Li Mi had a fever on his face. Li Zaixing's words were obviously directed at him. When he was nearly thirty years old, he was supposed to be a family and a career, so it was not his original intention to seek immortals and seek Taoism. Moreover, he was highly appreciated by the emperor and respected by the prince. How could he see that the world is deeply hidden dangers and chaos is about to arise, but he is free among the mountains and rivers. Although Li Zaixing has not read many books, he has such a magical master who has mastered a strong martial arts and has an intuition that is beyond ordinary people. If the opportunity happens, he may become a famous general in the country. If such a talent can be recommended to the emperor or the prince, it will be a good thing for Li Zaixing himself or the country.

"I'll go back to Chang'an with you." Li Mi said actively.

"Okay!" Li Zaixing smiled slightly, nodded in response, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

...

Facts have proved that for Li Zaixing's trip to Chang'an, pulling Li Mi with him was an extremely wise decision. He not only had a guide who led the way, but also had the opportunity to eat and drink in the post house. The post house is a public hotel and post office, which has the meaning of a guesthouse in later generations. When officials stayed in the post house, they could not only eat and live for free, but also use the post horses of the post house for transportation. However, for ordinary people, the post house is not a place they can go in, and they can't be rich, which is determined by their identity.

What's more, Li Zaixing has no money.

After going down the mountain, Li Zaixing realized how comfortable it is to be a little novice monk in Prajna Temple. Although the food is a little worse, he cannot drink and eat meat casually. However, with the old Buxiong master, his food has always been very good. The key is that he doesn't have to spend a single money. After going down the mountain, he realized that he had money to travel all over the world and could not move without money. He only brought two clothes for changing clothes and a big pole, and there was no copper coin. The valuable Teller Piao had just won from Li Bai, so of course he could not sell it for changing travel expenses. Without Li Mi, he probably couldn't even go out of Hengzhou.

With Li Mi, the situation was very different. Li Mi had no official status, but he was famous. When he was young, he accepted the invitation of Zhang Jiuling, who was the chief minister of Jingzhou after being resigned from prime minister, and lived in Jingzhou for a long time. I heard that it was Li's prodigy, and almost every inn opened the door to him and welcomed him warmly. Moreover, Li Mi himself was rich, and he brought two strong donkeys with him for transportation. There was also a thirteen-year-old boy, Lu Hu, who served his daily life. He was a scholar who had traveled seriously and lived a comfortable life.

Riding a donkey is a thing that poor people do, but Li Mi rides a donkey not because he is poor, but because he is weak, he cannot ride a horse. Li Mi felt more and more ashamed of himself when he was riding a donkey and riding a horse. He and Li Zaixing had been dating Li Zaixing for many days and knew that Li Zaixing was not in good health before. The reason why he is as strong as a bull now was all practiced over the years. This verified Li Zaixing's words: Only those who can endure hardships are heroes. If you can't even endure the hardships of physical fitness, it is not easy to do something to do.

There was nothing along the way, so Li Zaixing asked Li Mi to teach him military strategy. Military strategy was divided into three parts: one is common sense of marching, such as setting up camps; the other is offensive and defensive equipment, which is the offensive and defensive equipment of this era; the third is military strategy, which mainly refers to the ideas and strategies of using troops. Li Mi mainly talked about military strategy for Li Zaixing. For the other two items, he also talked about military strategy on paper. In fact, he did not have any unique insights. Instead, it was easier for Li Zaixing to understand. Li Mi did not know that Li Zaixing had many years of modern military life experience, but he just thought that Li Zaixing was born with a general, and had a little more closeness. Whenever Li Zaixing asked, he would do his best to guide him.

Of course, some private goods are not avoided, such as Confucianism such as the invincible of the benevolent. Li Zaixing knew nothing about Confucianism and could only recite a few words "Isn't it fun", but this did not prevent him from accepting the idea of ​​the benevolent love. For him, it is natural for soldiers to protect the people, so do you still need to teach them?

This made Li Mi very moved and he also let down a big stone in his heart. He was afraid that he would teach an An Lushan-like general, who was cruel and unkind, so he only knew how to make meritorious and rewarded, and learned a lot of good skills, but it turned out to be a disaster in the end. Seeing that Li Zaixing is kind by nature, he certainly couldn't ask for anything, and he could even boldly teach the Wei Gong's military strategy to Li Zaixing.

They talked about speculation, walking side by side when walking, talking about the past and present, sleeping in the same bed when sleeping, and pondering each other. They often talked about it in the middle of the night, and it ended until Li Mi couldn't hold on. No matter how late he slept, Li Zaixing would get up early to practice martial arts. This persistence made Li Mi very ashamed and ashamed of himself.

A month later, when they saw Chang'an City, they had become good friends who could talk about everything. This made Li Mi's little book boy Lu Hu very unhappy.
