    Cheng Xiaotian said with some dissatisfaction: "It's Master Zhang. He sent someone to deliver a letter to the Marshal. He only said one sentence: This march should be slow rather than hasty! He didn't say the specific reason, saying that he wanted to wait for him  Come and tell us in detail."

    Ge Shuhan strongly disagreed with this statement: "Soldiers are valuable and quick. Anyone who has served as a soldier for a few days knows that if the troops arrive at Luosi City and capture Luosi City, the battle will be over. Everyone understands this principle, why?  Is it better to come slowly rather than in a hurry?"

    "General Geshu, I said the same thing, but the commander-in-chief said that this is Mr. Zhang's opinion, and no one can ignore it. That's why I want you to rush back, and then let's listen to Mr. Zhang's opinions together!"  There was some disdain in Cheng Xiaotian's words.

    Zhang is said to be a great man of his generation, extremely intelligent and proficient in government affairs. Not to mention Guo Qianguan, even Ruizhong, Li Longji and Princess Taiping dare not ignore his opinions.  After receiving his letter, Guo Qianguan could only wait.

    This is the truth. Since Zhang said he had other opinions, he should listen to it anyway. Ge Shuhan stopped talking and explained the military affairs one by one.  In fact, he didn't spend much time as a pioneer, and the affairs were very clear. It took only a while to finish the explanation, and he took his bodyguard and headed back to the north to see Guo Qianguan.

    Guo Qianguan's commanding camp is two hundred miles north, and it took more than an hour to arrive.  When Guo Qiangguan saw Ge Shuhan's face, he was very happy. He came up to meet him, took Ge Shuhan's hand, and laughed and said: "General Ge Shu, you are a borrowed general, but you are showing off your skills. All of a sudden  It¡¯s amazing to build three pontoon bridges for the army! With these three pontoon bridges, there will be no difficulty for the army to cross the Yak River. I made the right move when I borrowed generals from the Supervisory Army!"

    Guo Qianguan knew very well how important the three pontoon bridges were to the Tang army. His words were very sincere, and Ge Shuhan patted them on the back of his hand very affectionately.

    At the end, Guo Qianguan said: "General Geshu, tell me in detail your march."

    Brother Shuhan responded and told the story.  Hearing that Ge Shuhan had just won a great victory, with ten thousand against twenty thousand, and defeated the Tibetan imperial army to the point of losing their fighting strength, Guo Qiangguan was even more happy and asked Ge Shuhan to sit down: "General Ge Shu,  You won the battle and should have followed the advance quickly. However, Mr. Zhang wrote a letter saying that the advance should be slow rather than hasty. I have discussed it with the supervisor and Wang Zhongsi, but I don¡¯t understand what he meant. So I invited you back.  Give your opinion."

    As soon as he received the letter from Zhang Shuo, Guo Qiangguan was confused. It is the law of military strategists that soldiers should be quick and valuable, but Zhang Shuo said something else. It was completely opposite to it. It was really shocking.

    Guo Qianguan, who was puzzled, brought Chen Wanrong and Wang Zhongsi to discuss, and they were also puzzled.  Wang Zhongsi has extraordinary intelligence, but he still can't understand what Zhang said.  In desperation, Guo Qianguan had no choice but to find his brother Shuhan.

    Hurrying back all the way, Brother Shuhan thought about it, but he couldn't figure out what Zhang meant: "Commander, to untie the bell, you still need the person who tied the bell. The last general is too resource-poor to understand Master Zhang's intention. It's better to wait until Master Zhang arrives."  , listen to his wise opinions, and everything will be clear to you."

    Guo Qiangguan said a little irritably: "Even General Geshu doesn't understand what he means, who can figure it out? If Lord Zhang is right, it's not bad for us to wait. If we can't convince others, what's the point of us continuing to wait?  Isn¡¯t it a waste of opportunity?¡±

    Ge Shuhan was very confident about this matter: "Commander, please rest assured, even if the advance is postponed for three to five days, we don't have to be afraid. On the three to the fifth day, Chide Zuzan will not be able to assemble many troops. After all, the terrain of Tubo is dangerous and the roads are  It is difficult to march, which is difficult for us, and it is also difficult for the Tibetans. If there are an extra 30,000 to 50,000 people, we can still deal with them."

    The Tang army was far more powerful than the Tubo army. Even if the Tubo army had tens of thousands more troops, they would still be defeated. In this regard, Guo Qiangguan was very confident: "That's good! Let's just wait for Master Zhang. I hope.  He really has great ideas!¡±

    It doesn¡¯t matter. After waiting for two days, the person Zhang mentioned was nowhere to be seen.  Guo Qiangguan, the generals, and Chen Wanrong all became anxious. Some generals even scolded Zhang Shuo's ancestors, saying that he was a harmful person. There were so many people waiting for him, but he was nowhere to be seen.

    Just when everyone was unbearable, Zhang Shuo finally came.  Now Zhang Shuo looked tired, his eyes were red, and he obviously lacked sleep.  The generals were very unhappy with him. Many generals were holding back their anger and were ready to vent their anger on Zhang Shuo. When they saw his appearance, no one could say anything.

    "I've kept you waiting for a long time, Marshal!" Zhang said in a hoarse voice as he strode over to greet Guo Qian.

    Chen Wanrong paid attention to Zhang Shuo's actions. His steps were a little frivolous, not as calm as when they first met, and he felt pity for him.

    Zhang Shuo¡¯s talent is well-known far and wide. Not only is he good at writing articles, he is also very capable in government affairs. He is a outstanding figure of his generation and full of energy. He didn¡¯t expect to be so tired. You don¡¯t need to think about it to know that Zhang Shuo is responsible for handling Tibetan affairs first and secondly.He is superior to others and never gives in. Our troops are pressing down on the territory. Tubo has reached a critical moment of life and death. He has to fight no matter what.  Therefore, the commander-in-chief does not have to worry about him escaping.  "

    ?? Guo Qiangguan also knew Chi De Zuzan¡¯s character and knew that he had a character that would rather break than bend. He would rather die in battle than run away.  Such a character is commendable, but when there is a huge disparity in power, it often leads to big mistakes.

    ???????????? If Chi Dezuzan had assessed the situation and adopted a method to avoid the sharp edge of the Tang army, abandon Luoche City when necessary, withdraw the Tibetan army to other places, such as the Western Regions, and wait for a favorable opportunity before making a comeback, the Tang army would really be unable to do anything to him.

    He wanted to fight to the death, and it played into Guo Qian's plan. He said happily: "Since Mr. Zhang said so, what does Guo have to worry about?"

    Zhang Shuo asked: "I wonder what the second thing the commander is worried about is?"

    "Food and grass, food and grass! What Guo is most worried about is food and grass!" Guo Qianguan said with a worried face: "Tubo has a vast territory, high mountains and dense forests, dangerous terrain, and difficult to pass roads. If Chidezuzan wants to mobilize  The army will take a lot of time. This battle will take a long time and years. If our food and grass are not enough, the consequences will be unpredictable!"

    When it comes to food and grass, not only Guo Qianguan is worried, but also which general is not worried?  It's not that the Tang army has no food and grass, it's that it can't be transported. In a few months, half a year, or a year, it will be impossible to maintain an army of 100,000.

    Zhang said jokingly: "Commander, don't worry, Zhang said he's already worried about this. Even if Zhang says he's exhausted, he still has to ensure the supply of the army and feed the army of 100,000 people!"

    The tone is calm, but it has an unquestionable power!  He is a great man of his generation, a famous minister in the Tang Dynasty, and very talented. With his assurance like this, what else do people have to worry about?

    "Thank you, Master Zhang!" All the generals expressed their thanks in unison.

    Zhang Shuo cupped his fists and said, "This is Zhang Shuo's responsibility. I don't dare to take it as your thanks! Commander, there is one more thing that we need to prepare for early."

    "Oh!" Guo Qianguan was very interested: "Excuse me, Mr. Zhang, what is it?"

    Zhang Shuo slowly said two words: "Negotiate peace!"

    It¡¯s too early to talk about peace before the fight is over, isn¡¯t it?  All the generals were surprised.  Just listen to Zhang say and continue: "Negotiating peace is a matter of time. In this battle, even if we take Luoshou City, we still can't destroy Tubo, so we still have to negotiate for peace. However, for this peace negotiation, not only we want to do this  , Chi Dezuzan will do the same. It takes time for him to mobilize his troops, what else can he do if he doesn¡¯t use this to gain time?"

    All the generals suddenly realized it and praised it in unison!  (To be continued. If you want to know about the funeral, please log on to www.qidian.com. There are more chapters. Support the author and support genuine reading!) (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
