Chapter One Thousand and Thirteen

"Whoa!"

A few hours later, an eagle falcon also flew into the moraine.

"Hou Ye! Hou Ye!"

The whole moraine cheered and the landslide and tsunami, all outside the palace, there were crowds of people, and everyone was excited. Wang Xiao, Su Hanshan and the others instantly relaxed a lot. There had been no news from the army of Moxi since they crossed the Green Ridge, but now, everyone could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Send the news to Miss Xu!"

Su Hanshan rode a Turkic war horse more than one person high, and quickly handed over the news in his hand. On the side, a cavalryman had already taken it and galloped towards the inner house.

In the Moxi Metropolitan Protectorate, a famous maid stood by the wooden door with a nervous expression, some of them were holding tea and food, but without exception, their expressions were full of worry. Some even tiptoed to find something through the crack in the door, but found nothing.

"Ahem......"

A violent cough came from inside the room, and the maids outside the door became more anxious.

"What can I do about this! Miss hasn't been out for a day, and the sound seems to be worse than last night! If Miss has anything, I'll ......"

At the moment when the coughing sound came out, a little maid finally couldn't help but have red eyes, and her eyes were full of distress, but she didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of disturbing Xu Qiqin in the house. Around, although the other maids didn't say anything, the expressions on their faces had already revealed the worries in their hearts.

In the room, there is a dresser, a table, a couch, and nothing else.

Xu Qiqin sat at the table, and in front of her was a mountain of paperwork. She was dressed in a thin white garment, her face was pale and bloodless, but she was still focused on the paperwork in front of her.

"Inform the Zhang family that the grain and grass sent to Talas must arrive as soon as possible. The soldiers of Middle-earth have different habits from the people of the Western Regions, although they can eat cattle and sheep, but it is impossible to do so for a long time, without touching rice and noodles. ”

"What about the follow-up of the 200,000 war horses, has the imperial court sent someone to accept it?

"In addition, pass on my order to continue recruiting craftsmen in the inland in the name of the Moxi Metropolitan Protectorate. On the Talas side, Zhang Shou's predecessors had already taken a large number of craftsmen, and it was still unclear how they had been killed or injured. However, in the area west of the rear, it may face the offensive of Uszang and the Western Turks at any time, and the small steel cities on both sides must be reinforced. ”

"I issued an order before, and the recruited inscription masters arranged for them to go to the city of black steel and send elite soldiers to protect them. War requires not only craftsmen, but also inscriptionists, and their help in the future. In addition, urge the various families to speed up the forging of weapons!"

......

One order after another was constantly being delivered, either orally or in writing. In the current moraine, on the surface, everything is in charge of Su Hanshan and Wang Xiao. But everyone knows that the real soul figure is actually this weak woman sitting in the palace of the western capital.

Although she is a woman, it is precisely because of Xu Qiqin's existence that she can keep her current order. even had the spare strength to support Feng Changqing in Anxi. It's just that with every order, Xu Qiqin's face became more and more pale, and her body showed a sickly state.

"Ahem......"

Halfway through the paperwork, Xu Qiqin finally couldn't help but tremble and coughed violently again.

"Miss, although the war is tense, but the body is just as important, if it goes on like this, not only will you drag down your body, but you won't be able to take care of the preparations in the rear, just listen to me, eat something, and rest for a while!"

A voice suddenly came, Xiaozhu stood behind Xu Qiqin, hammering her back, and tears of urgency flowed down.

"Xiaozhu, I don't have time to rest, there are still 100,000 Tang soldiers in Talas, they are related to the safety of hundreds of people in the entire Moxi and Longxi, I must arrange everything properly, arrange supplies and follow-up troops for them in time, you don't have to worry, I know my body, I can still bear it......!

Xu Qiqin said and coughed again, this time it was more serious than before.

"Report!"

At this moment, suddenly a herald pushed open the door and hurriedly entered. As soon as he entered the house, he immediately knelt on the ground:

"Letter from Talus!Lord Hou defeats Abmuth/Lin, defeats the Great Food Army in Talus!"

"What!"

Hearing this, the master and servant in the room shook their bodies together, and their eyes burst out with joy.

"Show it to me!"

Xu Qiqin's steps were vain, and she quickly stood up from the table and walked towards the herald.

took the letter from the herald's hand, opened it, Xu Qiqin read it several times, and finally determined one thing.

"Heng Ross won, really won!"

Xu Qiqin's face was excited, and a wave of blood suddenly surged on her face, and the breath of the whole person instantly improved.

......

The gaze left from the west of the moraine, crossed Longxi, and arrived at the most prosperous imperial capital of the entire empire.

"Boom!"

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the good news of Talas was like a blockbuster*, which set off thousands of waves in Beijing, and caused a sensation inside and outside the government and the opposition.

"Hahaha!

"The Tang Dynasty won, the Tang Dynasty won! The young son of the Wang family really led the Tang Dynasty/army to defeat the armies of Dashi, the Western Turks and the Us-Tibet!!

"I'm not mistaken, the youngest son of the Wang family is really the pillar of the country, the Tang Dynasty is mighty, and the saint is mighty!

......

The whole country was jubilant. When the news of the troops sent by Uszang and the Western Turks reached the imperial court, the entire imperial court was tense. Countless eyes have paid attention to the important town on the Silk Road west of the Green Mountains. The two major capitals, the soldiers and horses of the two places, and the four sides will fight...... , this battle touched the hearts of countless people.

From Moxi to Anxi, and then to Green Ridge, the entire Datang has exhausted its forces in the northwest, and there are no more surplus troops. If Hengluo loses and Anxi and Qixi can't hold it, then next, the entire Longxi will be under the threat of Dashi's troops.

——A country below the green ridge actually pointed its troops so close to Longxi. This will be a shame that the entire Datang has never had!

However, what was most unsettling both inside and outside the court was the alliance of the Great Eclipse, Uszang, and the Western Turkic Khanate! But now, Datang has won, although it is only a phased victory, but it is enough to cheer everyone up.

"Great! Wang Chong, this king really didn't misunderstand you!"

At the same time, in the palace of King Song, after reading the battle report of Talas, King Song put down the letter paper in his hand, and his eyes revealed a pride that could not be concealed.

King Song did many things in his life, including supporting the military, supporting the border generals with all his might, helping the Tang Dynasty to expand, and implementing the strategy of keeping the enemy out of the country. In his life, he has also promoted many people, and in the government, he has also solved many dangers, including when he was fighting against Goguryeo and the * Turkic Khanate in the northeast, he actively prepared, forgot to sleep and eat, and at the critical moment, sent life-saving grain and grass over, saved the morale of the army, and also saved the war.

But at this moment, for King Song, there is no doubt in this life, and the proudest thing is to discover Wang Chong, and has been silently supporting him behind his back.

Wang Chong, you are worthy of being a tiger of Jiangmen, and the Tang Dynasty has you, which is the luck of the country, the luck of the society, and the luck of the people!"

King Song looked at the two rolled couplets next to him and was relieved.

"The life and death of the country for profit, how can it be avoided because of misfortune and fortune", this is Wang Chong's couplet hanging in the study, Wang Chong was not there, the king of Song once visited Wang's house, entered his study, saw this couplet, put it away, and treasured it in the house. Whether it was the Battle of the Southwest or the Battle of Talas this time, Wang Chong practiced himself and the words on this couplet.

"Wang Chong, let's go! Spread your wings and fight for the Tang Dynasty! As for the back, only I will support you! No matter how many people stand in the way, I will not let anyone stand in your way!"

King Song turned his head and looked out through the open window. There was lightning and thunder, dark clouds, and a sign of impending wind and rain. And King Song's eyes were brighter than lightning.

......

Not to mention the movements in Anxi, Moxi and the Tang Dynasty, there was also the end of the first general battle, and west of the Green Ridge, the distant Talas also ushered in a rare period of calm. Whether it was the Us-Tibetans, the Turks, or the Great Cannibals, they all retreated to dozens of miles away. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, the Tang Dynasty/army and the mercenaries of the Western Regions were all dispatched, busy and doing their best to strengthen the fortifications.

The terrain that was destroyed by the giant beasts was dealt with one by one, and the two steel defense lines were quickly repaired and completed, and certain changes were made according to the terrain, and it was no longer a simple straight line. At the same time, Zhang Shouzhi and other craftsmen also made every effort to upgrade the fortifications of the city of Talas, further upgrading and perfecting, and repairing the Tang crossbow and other weapons and equipment that had been damaged in the war.

Everything is on track and progress is progressing every day.

The surface of Talas is calm, but the undercurrent of war is forever raging.

Just on the west side of Talas, sixty or seventy miles away, a lush forest stretched across the land, and towering trees pointed to the sky, each with a double hug. In the west of the Green Mountains, where the land is becoming more and more barren and the amount of precipitation is getting less and less, I am afraid that this is the only place where there can be so many lush ancient trees.

Black Forest!

Throughout the westward journey of the Silk Road, almost all the merchants who passed by did not know about it. At this moment, Abmus/Lin and Ziad led an army of less than 100,000 Great Eclipse troops were stationed here.
