Chapter 1026: The Tang Dynasty Sends Troops!
Chapter One Thousand and Twenty-Six
The matter of the Holy Emperor is certainly not trivial, but just because this kid has a letter, he has to send troops to help him, which makes it always a little difficult for the two of them to accept.
"Hehe, blackmail, you guys think too highly of that kid. ”
Zhang Shouqi smiled:
"The soldier is naturally going to come out, but not necessarily because of that kid. Zhao Kan, Bai Zhendra, you remember to me that the general is not only competing for the realm and strength of martial arts, but also the bearing of a general. Can we, the Anton Protector, still lose to a stinky boy?"
"Didn't that kid send a letter asking us to support him with 4,000 soldiers and horses? Zhao Kan, Bai Zhendra, you select 6,000 elites for me, and report back to the imperial court, just say that although I, Zhang Shoujue, am in Youzhou, I am concerned about the imperial court and society, and I am willing to draw 6,000 soldiers and horses to voluntarily support Talas!"
In the last sentence, Zhang Shouqi squinted his eyes, and his right hand slammed on the tabletop, and his voice was profound.
Zhao Kan and Bai Zhendra were stunned, and they were still puzzled at first, but after all, they had followed Zhang Shouqi for many years, and the two quickly reacted.
If Zhang Shouqi directly sent 6,000 soldiers and horses to Wang Chong, it would be a private matter between them, but if Zhang Shouqi wrote to the imperial court at the same time as sending soldiers and horses, it would be a matter between Zhang Shouqi and the imperial court, and it would be the Andong capital to protect the army to be loyal to the imperial court and the Holy Emperor. Although this incident started because of a letter from Wang Chong, it has nothing to do with Wang Chong now.
Not only that, but the two even thought of a deeper level. Talas is now in deep crisis, if the Anton Protector is the first to respond at this time and send reinforcements, then no matter whether the Battle of Talas is won or lost in the future, the Anton Protector will be invincible, and at the same time, he will prove his loyalty to the imperial court.
In this way, the passive becomes the proactive.
In addition, adults have always wanted to become the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and the biggest obstacle is the virtuous minister of the Tang Dynasty. If you help Talas at this time, you may be able to reduce the resistance of adults in the future.
"Yes!
"My subordinates will do it!"
......
The six major capitals of the Tang Dynasty have received a letter from Talas, far more than one Zhang Shouqi. In the Beiting Metropolitan Protector's Mansion, all the generals gathered together, and the Beiting Metropolitan Protector An Sishun looked heroic and sat above the main hall.
"Have you seen all the letters from Gao Xianzhi?"
An Sishun's eyes closed slightly, and his gaze like thunder swept over His Highness's generals.
"Lord Tsugo, with all due respect. Among all the frontiers, although we have the largest number of troops to protect in the North Garden, we have the longest border line and the most enemies to face. In addition to the Western Turkic Khanate, we also have to guard against the *Turkic Khanate, and the combined strength of the two countries is close to one million! Moreover, if Gao Xianzhi's side needs ordinary soldiers, it is just that, what he wants is our most elite Beiting Longxiang army. We have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, but the Long Xiang army is only a few thousand, so the last general thinks that this matter must not be agreed!"
"Lord Protector, the general will think that it is impossible. Although the dragon army is precious, the situation of Talas is not trivial. This time, the Great Food Empire west of the Green Ridge was menacing, and if Gao Xianzhi and they couldn't resist the Great Cannibal. Then next, our Beiting Protector will bear the brunt. At that time, it was not a few thousand dragon troops that could solve it. Helping the Anxidu army is actually helping ourselves. Lips and teeth are cold!"
"That's right! In addition to the Great Cannibal, there is also the Western Turkic Heavenly Wolf General Du Wusili, which is the fierce rival of our Northern Court Protector. Sending the Long Xiang Army to deal with Du Wu Sili is actually helping us!"
"Ridiculous! Seeing Gao Xianzhi's twists and turns? The Great Cannibal will have an army of 400,000 swept in, and Gao Xianzhi and their strength alone will not be able to resist it at all. In the end, Talas will fall. At this time, he also sent Long Xiangjun over, did he go to send him to death?"
......
In the hall, voices of opposition and support rose one after another, and the debate was extremely fierce. An Sishun sat above with his eyes closed, motionless, just silently listening to everyone's arguments, no one knowing what was going on in his mind. And yet, at this very moment-
"Report!"
Da Da Da, a rush of footsteps came from outside, and outside the gate, a herald from the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate quickly walked from outside the hall with a letterhead in his hand.
"Letter from Talas, please take a look!"
Hum, hearing this, the entire hall instantly fell silent. Gao Xianzhi just received a letter, why did he come with another letter at this time?
"Bring me the letter!"
A majestic voice suddenly sounded from the main hall, and An Sishun opened his eyes, and a terrifying light burst out of his eyes. Taking the letterhead from the herald's hand, and tearing it open with a snort, An Sishun just glanced at it, and immediately shook slightly, a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes, and he sat up straight suddenly.
"Hmph, interesting, Wang Chong, you really proposed a good deal that I can't refuse!"
......
Longxi, Beidou City.
This important town in the western part of the Tang Dynasty has completely recovered its former prosperity. The entire city has been completely renovated, still so magnificent, under the management of the Beidou Army, this city has completely erased the traces of the past war. However, at this moment, Beidou City is heavily guarded, and except for the patrolling soldiers, there are hardly any Beidou generals on the wall.
"You've all read the young marquis's letter, do you have any thoughts?"
In the main hall of the city of Beidou City, Ge Shuhan sat high, and His Royal Highness was bustling with people, all of whom were the backbone generals of the Beidou Army, row by row, column by column, with a clear array, but they were all thinking about something, and the atmosphere was solemn.
"General, the battle in Talas is tight. Now the safety of the entire Anxi and Moxi is all tied there. The subordinates are worried that if the Anxi Du Protector and the Moxi Du Protector cannot hold it, it will be our Beidou Army's turn next!"
"My lord, my subordinates suggest that our Beidou Army immediately go north, follow up with Talas, and join forces with the soldiers and horses of Anxi and Moxi to deal with Dashi!"
"Impossible! If we move away, what will happen to the people of Longxi? Don't forget, this is a thousand miles of fertile land, and if the Tibetans take the opportunity to go east and massacre them on a large scale, we will be defeated and humiliated. Moreover, the Anxidu Protector Army is well-equipped, has been conquered for a long time, and its combat effectiveness is not weaker than ours in the slightest. If the Anxi Protectors can't deal with it, then our Beidou Army can easily deal with it? What's more, it's 400,000 soldiers and horses!"
......
In the hall, the Beidou generals expressed their opinions, but unlike others, the Beidou army considered whether they should pull their troops north, advance to Talas, and join Anxi and Moxi to resist the Great Food Iron Cavalry. Humiliating and dying, the Longbei Doujun has experienced several generations of generals, experienced and seen, and is much longer than ordinary people.
Moreover, the Beidou Army is relatively close to Talas, Moxi, and Anxi, and has received the most news and felt the most threat. Therefore, the consideration of the problem is completely different from that of other prefectures.
Ge Shuhan was in the hall, listening to the generals' discussions, and his brows became more and more furrowed. Suddenly, his eyes swept over a military general who bowed his head and pondered, Ge Shuhan's heart moved, and he suddenly asked:
"Slim, what do you think?"
Wang Sili, the greedy wolf general, is one of the seven generals under Ge Shuhan's throne, with the rank of brigadier general, his father Wang Qianwei, is a famous general in Shuofang, and he is the real general. And Wang Sili has served the two generals of the Tang Dynasty God of War Wang Zhongsi and Ge Shuhan, with deep qualifications and great strategy, and has won the attention of Wang Zhongsi and Ge Shuhan, and is regarded as Ge Shuhan's right-hand man.
"My lord, the second Wusizang returned the fire tree to Tibet, and all the Songmang Buzhi went north, and the entire Wusizang soldiers and horses were also attacked by the young marquis, and they went to the other. In addition, our Beidou Army has been conquering for many years, and Usi Tibet is strong and strong, but in fact, there are not many soldiers and horses that are really available. The only ones to be afraid of were the soldiers and horses of the Yajuelong royal lineage, the troops guarding the royal capital, and a white lion general, Sino Luo Gonglu. ”
Wang Sili lowered his head, and a deep and wise light flowed in his eyes:
"However, the generals' considerations are not unreasonable, Longxi is an important place for us to garrison, if we dispatch troops and horses without authorization, it is to disobey the orders of the imperial court, what is really wrong, the consequences are not something we can bear. However, the general thought that Talas could not be left without support, and under the condition of ensuring the safety of Longxi, he could send as many troops and horses as possible to support the north. ”
"The subordinates believe that we can take the initiative to seek battle before sending troops and horses, turn passive into active, and preemptively weaken the strength of Uszang. As long as the situation in Longxi is certain, we will send troops and horses to support Talas, and in addition, the young marquis in the letter, as long as we send two thousand of the most elite Shenwu army. The last general thought that he could increase this number to three thousand, and then transfer another three thousand elites to do his best to help the Anxi Du Protector Army and the Qixi Du Protector Army, after all, they are actually fighting for us!"
"But our Beidou Army only has a total of 20,000 or 30,000 people, if we draw out 7,000 soldiers and horses, and Usizang counterattacks at this time, how can we resist it?"
As soon as Wang Sili's voice fell, a general sharply objected. The Beidou Army has pursued a policy of elite soldiers since Wang Zhonghei, so in the Longxi area, the Beidou Army has always been the least number of troops and the most opponents, and it is itself in a state of shortage of troops, where is there still spare strength to support others, which is also the reason why the Beidou Army is still arguing.
"It's not that hard. ”
Hearing this, Wang Sili laughed instead:
"The 7,000 men and horses we sent to the north can be replenished from the Xiang army in Longxi. With adults in charge and generals cooperating, there will never be any mistakes. Moreover, the Xiang Army in Longxi was originally our reserve, and the Beidou Army has been established until now, it is time to give them a little opportunity and replenish fresh blood at the same time. ”
Unlike others, Wang Sili seems to be quite relaxed.
"This ......"
The generals in the hall looked at each other, and everyone was about to refute it, but after thinking about it carefully, what Wang Sili said was not unreasonable, and this is indeed the real feasible method at present, and the hall fell silent all of a sudden.
Ge Shuhan sat above, his eyes like lightning, and slowly swept over the generals, and he quickly had an idea in his heart for a moment.
"Slim, just do as you say. ”
