Volume 2 Luoyang Trip Chapter 144 Pointing out the country

Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I'm just a grass man, but the general is so clear about my situation, I really didn't expect it." ”

"That's it!" Wang Xiaojie was also polite, "A talent like Lu Gongzi, since I have discovered it, how can I let you bury it?" ”

"Let's not talk about talent or not!" Lu Xiaoxian went straight to the point, "The general invited me to the banquet, not just to talk about my experiences in Lingnan!" ”

"Speaking of which, we are also destined!" Wang Xiaojie laughed and said: "Even if Gongzi Lu doesn't come to me for the matter of dogs, I plan to send someone to invite Gongzi Lu, so our meeting today is already fateful!" ”

"The general wants to find me? Why is that? Lu Xiaoxian felt very strange.

"Through Lu Gongzi's experience, I can see that Lu Gongzi has extraordinary insight. There are a few things I don't understand about the current situation, and I want to hear Lu Gongzi's opinions! ”

Lu Xiaoxian was still polite, but he heard Wang Xiaojie wave his hand and said: "Master Lu, we are all temperamental, we don't have to be twisted, it's better to open the window and say something bright!" ”

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaojie glanced at Wang Haibin, and said to Lu Xiaoxian: "Only the three of us are here today, and all the words we say will only enter the ears of the three of us, and will not be passed on, please rest assured that Lu Gongzi." ”

Wang Xiaojie said this, if Lu Xiaoxian refused again, it would be really a twist, he nodded helplessly and said: "Since this is the case, then I might as well be respectful!" ”

Wang Xiaojie asked the first question first: "It has always been rumored that I am the first person in the army, and it is also popular to say that 'there is Di Renjie in the text, and Wang Xiaojie in the martial arts', I don't know what Lu Gongzi thinks?" ”

"I don't think much of it!" Lu Xiaoxian smiled slightly, but just stretched out a finger.

Lu Xiaoxian's trickery made Wang Xiaojie a little confused, and he asked humbly: "Lu Gongzi, can you explain it more clearly?" ”

"Cheng Wuting, Wang Fangyi, Hei Tooth Changzhi, although these veterans in the army are gone, there are still some people in the Tang Army who can fight, in addition to General Wang, Tang Xiujing, Zhang Renyuan, Xue Ne, Xie Wan These people have a set of rules for governing the army and fighting!"

Tang Xiujing once served as the deputy capital of Anxi and was stationed in Broken Leaf City. Back then, spit

Fan conquered Yanqi and other places, the Tang Dynasty was defeated, Tang Xiujing collected the remnants of the army to hold Xizhou, and at his request, Wu Zetian sent Wang Xiaojiao to conquer and finally recovered the four towns of Anxi.

Zhang Renyuan Wang Xiaojie is also very familiar, when Wang Xiaojie led the army to resist Tubo, Zhang Renyuan was the supervisor of the army, although he and Wang Xiaojie did not have a good relationship, but Wang Xiaojie recognized Zhang Renyuan's ability.

As for Xue Ne and Xie Wan, they are all junior characters in front of Wang Xiaojie, although Wang Xiaojie doesn't know much about it, but since Lu Xiaoxian has mentioned it, of course their ability is beyond doubt.

"Why does Your Majesty trust you the most?" Lu Xiaoxian continued, "Without it, it is because you listen to Your Majesty the most among these people, if it is not for this, why does Your Majesty trust you?" ”

Wang Xiaojie thought about it, it seemed to make some sense, but it didn't seem to be exactly like that.

Lu Xiaoxian saw Wang Xiaojie's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Actually, the reason why you are so obedient is because you are grateful for Your Majesty's trust in you in your heart, so you will go all out to deal with the Tubo people!" As for what others think, it doesn't matter to you! ”

Wang Xiaojie was noncommittal, and then asked: "Then tell me, where is the place where the imperial court needs to prevent war the most?" ”

Before the crossing, Lu Xiaoxian was familiar with Tang history, he knew the future direction, and Wang Xiaojie's question certainly did not bother him.

Lu Xiaoxian said eloquently: "Longyou, Anxi, Jiannan, Guannei, Hedong, Hebei and other provinces, the most likely war is of course Longyou and Anxi, and the Tubo people dream of breaking into the Tang Dynasty from here." In addition, there is also Hebei Province, where there is also a high probability of war. ”

"How can it be Hebei Province? Shouldn't it be Kannai Road? Wang Xiaojie asked with a wink.

In the second year of Yonglong, the Turkic Tutun Gu Lulu rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and occupied Heisha City and Wudeshan Mountain in Mobei, rebuilt the Turkic regime, and called himself Jieqiu Lishi Khan. After that, Gu Lulu went north to conquer the nine surnamed Tiele, and violated the border of the Tang Dynasty for many years, and his power tended to grow.

In the year when Wu Zetian was proclaimed emperor, Gu Lulu died, his son was young, and his younger brother Mo Si established himself as a khan, with 400,000 soldiers, and the party in the west, Ba Ximi, Tuqi Shi and the ten tribes of the Western Turks, and took advantage of the internal and external troubles of the Wu Zhou regime, and continued to lead the army to attack Tang on a large scale, and even invaded Lingzhou, Liangzhou and other places, killed

Plundering people's assets.

In Wang Xiaojie's view, Mo Si is the real big problem, and the prevention of Guannei Province adjacent to the Turks should be strengthened, not Hebei Province. On the opposite side of Hebei Province were mainly the Khitan tribe attached to the Tang Dynasty, where Emperor Taizong set up the Songmo Governor's Mansion and gave the Khitan leader the surname Li. It stands to reason that the Khitans should be reassured.

"Don't worry about Guan Neidao, Mo Si is very scheming, he won't fight hard with Datang, at most it's a small fight, but it's the Khitans, if they fight hard with Datang, then it's not easy to deal with? Therefore, we should put the direction of prevention in Hebei Province to prevent the Khitan people from suddenly rebelling! ”

"How could the Khitan rebel?" Wang Xiaojie still felt a little incredible.

"How could it be?" Lu Xiaoxian said very politely, "Although the Khitan people have attached themselves to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has always looked down on the Khitans, thinking that they are barbarians and often oppresses them. Coupled with the instigation of the Turks in the back, there is a high probability that they will rebel. ”

What Lu Xiaoxian said was very reasonable, and Wang Xiaojie stopped talking.

"There is another direction to be noted, but it depends on who can dominate the Western Regions in the end!" Lu Xiaoxian's eyes became profound, "If we want to run the Western Regions, then we must face the Great Food Country, and they are also eyeing the Western Regions, this is a powerful enemy!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian, who came from later generations, knew that in the tenth year of Tianbao, the Tang Dynasty and Dashi fought the Battle of Talas, and the Tang Dynasty was defeated. The consequences of the Battle of Talas led directly to the disruption of the Silk Road, the complete control of Central Asia by the Arab Empire, and the beginning of the process of Islamization in Central Asia as a whole. The Central Plains Dynasty gradually lost its strong cavalry, and no longer had the strength to influence the Western Regions and Central Asia.

Wang Xiaojie glanced at Lu Xiaoxian, and wondered a little in his heart, this young man is more intelligent than a demon, and he understands too many things, right?

Wang Xiaojie has been fighting in the Western Regions all the year round and knows the situation in the Western Regions very well, even so, he does not have such a keen eye, and now he regards Da Shi as a potential enemy.

Thinking about it carefully, Datang and Dashi are tens of thousands of miles apart, and the two sides only have trade exchanges, but they don't know the combat effectiveness of their respective armies at all. Lu Xiaoxian is right, if one day the Tang Dynasty and Da Shi fight for territory in the Western Regions, it is really hard to say who will lose and who will win.
