Tocharian reclined on the soft couch and stared intently at the woman in front of him who was trembling and performing a tea ceremony for him.

This is Lingzhou.

The Tubo army dispatched a large army with lightning speed, swept the entire territory of Lingzhou in less than half a month, annihilated and defeated the tens of thousands of troops of Du Youcai, the envoy of Ansui Jiedu, and fully occupied Lingzhou.

And this woman is just one of the mountains of loot.

"It's just a cup of tea, and I want to make so many complicated things." Next, a tall Tibetan general shook his head and said: "The Tang people have devoted all their minds to this, and it is no wonder that they have been weak for many years. ”

Tocharo smiled, took the tea from the woman's hand, drank it all, and said, "Laza, my old friend, do you know who made this set of tea art?" It's Li Ze, do you think he's a person who is obsessed with alcohol and beauty and doesn't want to make progress? ”

"Li Ze? He still does this stuff? Raza was taken aback, leaning forward slightly, her long hair curling slightly, almost covering most of his face.

"Not only did he come up with this, but he was also an out-and-out glutton. We don't get tired of eating, we don't get tired of being fine, compared with this person's enjoyment, we can really only be regarded as countrymen. Tocharo chuckled. The elegance of the kingdom is really enviable. ”

"Now this kingdom is moaning beneath us." Raza sneered.

Tocharo smiled slightly, noncommittal, just staring at the woman's white wrists.

"Comment, I think we have won Lingzhou here, and Delhi Chinan has won Tiande, and we can already be satisfied." Raza twirled the small cup in the palm of his hand, "Du Youcai reacted quickly, and the response was good, if we continue to fight, we are afraid that we will not take much advantage." ”

Tocharo glanced back at Laza, "Laza, I have gathered an army of 200,000 troops, is it just for this little benefit?" ”

"In the big deal, whether it is attacking Xiazhou, Yinzhou, or Suizhou, it will be extremely difficult, and I am afraid that I will have to pay a great price, and I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses." Raza frowned and said: "The small court of Zhenzhou will not sit idly by, it will inevitably send reinforcements, if my expectations are good, I am afraid that the army of Hedong will have crossed the Yellow River now." ”

"They're the ones who are waiting." Tocharian sat up straight, looked at Laza, and coldly spat out a word.

Raza was taken aback and looked at Tocharo, her eyes full of doubt.

"Laza, you have been in the Jingyun Military Division, watching the Western Regions for me, and you are not too familiar with the situation in the Central Plains, and this time I transferred you back to help me fight this battle with the help of your elite troops and your own ability." Tocharo let out a long breath: "I'm sixty years old, and this is my last battle, and it's the most crucial battle. ”

Raza was silent for a moment and said, "Big talk, domestic ......"

Tocharo smiled, "I know." Our Zamp has finally grown up, and the eaglet has grown wings and claws, and it is natural that he wants to show his teeth and claws. In the past two years, they have begun to deal with me deliberately, which is why I have to fight this battle. ”

"A war can defuse the spear at home, snatch enough benefits from the outside, and of course, it can also purge the inside, and damn people can die." Tocharo's face gradually became hideous, "I have worked hard all my life, but I don't want to die after my own life, and my descendants will die without a place to be buried." Laza, it's not just for me, it's for you too. ”

Raza was silent, and as Tocharo's closest ally, he certainly knew that he too had no way back.

"The reason why I want to transfer you back is that you need to make new contributions in this war, so that after the war is over, you can ascend to the position of the great judge without dispute, and then protect the glory and wealth of your and my two families for decades." Tocharo said, "With your ability, there is no problem in dealing with our young Zampu. ”

"If I leave, I'm afraid that the Western Regions will be chaotic again." Raza thought for a moment and said, "The Western Regions are too big and too complicated, and the war never stops, and the rebellion is like a spark of fire, just extinguished here, and then ignited there again. Now another Tang army has entered the Western Regions, which makes the form here even more unpredictable, although the Tang people have withdrawn from the Western Regions for many years, but just as we have never really conquered the Western Regions over the years, the influence of the Tang people still exists. ”

"The Western Regions are nothing but a disease of mustard." Tocharo waved his hand: "It is precisely because it is too complicated there, so they will never be able to condense into a powerful group, although the Tang people ran in again, but in a short time, it is a dream to want to reproduce the prestige of the Western Regions and the Northern Court at that time." So, you can leave it there for a while first. The Western Regions are just branches and leaves, and what we are doing now is the fundamental. ”

Raza nodded, and he had no objection to that.

"But in this way, we are afraid that what we have gained from the Western Regions this year will be greatly reduced."

"What is lost from the Western Regions will naturally be taken back from places like Ansui and Hedong." Tocharo said, "Compared to the Western Regions, these places are richer. ”

"Da Yan wants to swallow Hedong in one gulp?" Raza was taken aback.

"Let's take a few steps and take a look!" Tocharo said: "My bottom line is to completely take down Ansui and Tiande, and then cripple Hedong." In this way, the gate of the Western Regions will be completely controlled by us, and the Tang people will no longer be able to reach out, this is for the sake of long-term rule in the future, otherwise the Tang people will continue to inject power into where and keep making trouble for us. Li Ze is not to be underestimated, if he really controls the Western Regions, he will form a strong containment on us. ”

"This person is really far-sighted, taking one step and seeing three steps, and he is a great opponent." Raza nodded approvingly. "But because of that, I think it's better to be careful."

"As I said earlier, this is our last and best chance." Tocharian said: "If we don't take these places now, and wait until Li Ze really dominates the world in the future, our life will be very difficult, just look at him now in such a difficult situation, still send a group of men and horses to the Western Regions, you can know that he has never relaxed on us." He was staring at Juwen with one eye, but at us with the other. I'm old, and time is on his side, so I need to lay the groundwork for you and build a barrier. ”

"I'm not afraid of him." Raza smiled.

"Laza, you are my old friend, we have worked together for decades, in front of you, I don't have to hide it, it will be very difficult for you to deal with him. This guy is the toughest guy I've ever met in decades. Tocharian said: "He will eventually do something to us, which is why I hit it off with Zhu Wen." Otherwise, I really just want to take advantage of it, why do I have to do it to Li Ze? Go to fight Zhu Wen, I'm afraid that I will make more profits. The current Zhu Wen is in a mess. But the intersection of short-term and long-term interests is not worth mentioning. ”

Speaking of this, Tocharo's eyes closed slightly, and he sighed and said: "I can't forget decades ago, when the Tang Dynasty was still very strong, the twelve guards and horses pressed the Quartet, once the soldiers came out, the world changed color, and everyone trembled. ”

"But now, it's not easy to fight!" Raza thought for a while and said: "Du Youcai gave up Yinzhou, Suizhou, and gathered heavy troops with Xiazhou, in this case, Hedong will inevitably send troops to occupy Yinzhou and Suizhou, we have traveled a long way, far away from the fundamental place to fight against it, the chance of victory is not great." ”

"That's what I told you, you've been in the Western Regions for a long time, and you don't know much about the form of the Central Plains." Tocharo laughed: "The soldiers and horses of Hedong seem to belong to Li Ze now, but they are actually self-contained. Li Ze's order could not enter Hedong at all, so this time, we only dealt with Hedong. If Gao Biao was here in Hedong, I would naturally not have this idea, but with Han Qi and Li Cunzhong, it would be very different. ”

"Han Qi and Li Ze are not of the same mind, what he is most afraid of is that Li Ze will annex him, so they have been trying to increase their strength, if they can take An Sui this time, they can really fight Li Ze, so they will definitely not allow Li Ze to interfere in this battle."

"The meaning of the big theory, our main target is actually the Hedong Army."

"Not bad." Tocharian said: "Du Youcai has been beaten by me to Xiazhou, this move is exactly what I want, and when I deal with the Hedong Army next, this person will definitely be a watchman." And because of political reasons, Li Ze could not enter Hedong in a big way in advance, and this time difference is our biggest advantage. ”

"Du Youcai really won't send troops?"

"No, Du Youcai is used to being the emperor of the soil, even if he throws himself to Zhenzhou in desperation, he will still want to maintain a living force in his heart." Tocharo said: "So, this time our real opponent is only Hedong Han Qi." ”

"Then what's next?"

"I'll go to Siege Xiazhou to attract Han Qi's attention, and you will lead the main force and go straight to Yinzhou." Tocharo said: "Han Qi is insatiable, divide the troops in Yinzhou Suizhou, such an opportunity, once in a lifetime, defeat Han Qi in one fell swoop, take Yinzhou, this battle, I will win a big victory, at the same time, Delhi China will go south from Tiande into Hedong to help you, he will turn Hedong upside down, will make Han Qi's lair in dire straits, this will be of great help to you." ”
