Chapter 430: Sending Troops and Suing Peace (Three Watches)

"Send troops and teach the Uighurs a lesson. Remember, you can't destroy the Uighurs in Ganzhou! ”

Li Ye was furious when he heard that the Uighurs of Ganzhou had dared to attack their mission, but he added a sentence in the end.

When Li Ye's will reached Lanzhou, Liu Qi, Wang Jian and others were a little puzzled.

"Daduhu, what do you mean by this, Your Majesty? Why not take the opportunity to destroy the Uighurs in Ganzhou in one fell swoop. Shang Guangsi was a little puzzled.

Liu Qi shook his head, "Since Your Majesty has issued such an order, there must be some considerations, as courtiers, we just need to obey." ”

"Dadu Hu, if it is only to weaken the strength of the Uighurs, there is no need to send an infantry army, the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion only has 15,000 right god troops to be used, will it be too few?" Wang Jian said worriedly.

"What do you mean?"

"Shimonoseki thinks that a part of the cavalry can be sent to reinforce from the Dadu Protectorate."

"How much is appropriate?"

"10,000 people, 5,000 cavalry of the Zuo Tiance Army, 5,000 warriors of various tribes. In this way, Liu had 25,000 cavalry in his hands, and as long as he did not match the main Uighur force, he should be able to inflict heavy damage on the Uighurs in Ganzhou. Wang Jian proposed.

Liu Qi nodded, "Then so be it." Remember, your majesty's will must be conveyed to Liu Juma accurately! ”

Since His Majesty didn't want to destroy the Ganzhou Uighurs like this, it should be useful to keep the Ganzhou Uighurs, and he would definitely remind Liu Kui that if the other party didn't control the strength well, it would ruin His Majesty's plan.

In fact, before the will of the imperial court arrived, Liu Kui had already begun to assemble a large army. The imperial court had intended to send troops, and now that the mission was attacked, it would definitely not sit idly by.

He thought that he would be able to rely on the strength of the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion, but he didn't expect that the Dadu Protectorate sent him another 10,000 cavalry, which surprised him a little.

Of course, what surprised him even more was the will of the imperial court, which did not allow him to destroy the Uighurs in Ganzhou, which meant that he could not use troops against the Uighur court.

"Governor, the lower officials thought that the imperial court should want to keep the Uighurs of Ganzhou and continue to put some pressure on the Guiyi army. Without the Ganzhou Uighurs, the Guiyi Army would not have been so respectful to the imperial court. Weng Gao guessed.

I have to say that Weng Gao really guessed most of the right.

However, at this time, guessing correctly is also an afterthought, and it doesn't have much effect.

Since the imperial court had made it clear that it was going to use troops against the Uighurs in Ganzhou, they carried it out.

However, the Uighurs reacted quickly, and after it was confirmed that it was Gesar Gray who had attacked the Tang Dynasty mission privately, Yaluo Ge Renmei sent his prime minister, Emir Omar (emir, meaning prime minister), to Liangzhou with people to sue for peace, hoping to appease the anger of the Tang Dynasty.

However, when Omar and his people just entered Tianbao County in the territory of the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion, they were surrounded by the Tang Legion stationed in Tianbao.

At this time, the mission led by Li Pei was still on the way back to Liangzhou from Ganzhou, and in order to ensure the safety of the mission, Liu Kui specially sent 5,000 cavalry to meet him.

Because the mission had a lot of carriages, the march was much slower, and it was no faster than the Uighurs who came directly from the royal court to Liangzhou.

As for the soldiers and officials who died in battle, the bodies will definitely not be able to be brought back intact, but in order to give an explanation to their families, it is still decided to bring back the ashes after cremation.

Although this does not conform to some customs of the people of the Tang Dynasty, this method can bring those who died in battle back to their hometowns.

"Kill them and avenge the brothers who died in battle!"

"Kill them!"

Seeing these Ganzhou Uighurs, the Tang army stationed in Tianbao was a little excited.

Although the army of the Liangzhou Prefecture also had Uighurs, they were not the same as the Ganzhou Uighurs, and although they were somewhat affected, the other soldiers did not make any excessive moves.

As long as they are Uighurs who live in the territory of the Tang Dynasty and obey the administration of the Tang Dynasty, they are the people of the Tang Dynasty.

"What? Do you want to rebel? Put away the bows and crossbows and horizontal knives for me. One of the town generals yelled.

At the order of the town general, the soldiers put away their weapons, but the eyes of these Ganzhou Uighurs were eager to kill them and eat them.

"It seems that it is estimated that it will be difficult to succeed in this sum!"

Looking at these scenes of excitement in the Tang army, Omar guessed that his trip might be fruitless.

"Emir, our attitude is so low, and we have brought the head of Gesa Ilyik and compensated them for their property and war horses, are the Tang people still unwilling to let go?" Among the entourage, some people complained.

You must know that in the carriage behind them, there is a human head that can be held by Gertha Gray, and this is just a greeting gift for reparation.

"Difficult! We were at fault in this matter in the first place, attacking the caravan was nothing, but we were going to attack the mission.

Attacking the mission means declaring war, and the Tang people have a good face, and the mission must be greatly dissatisfied when it is attacked. If you look at these Tang soldiers, they all know about this, which shows that the high-level Tang people are behind it.

Hopefully my guess is wrong! ”

"What speculation?"

"I'm afraid that the Tang people have long decided to unite with the Guiyi Army to deal with the Khanate, but the Tang people don't have a suitable excuse on their side, and they may have hesitated before. But this time, we sent a great excuse to the hands of the Tang people! Omar explained.

"Emir, then we should go to Liangzhou?"

"You have to go, preferably to Lanzhou. The Liangzhou Governor's Mansion can't be the master, and only by going to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate set up by the Tang people in Lanzhou can it be possible for both of us to avoid fighting each other.

If it is just a rebel army, our Khanate is not afraid at all, but we can't involve the Tang people. Although the Tang people have weakened over the years, it is not something that the current khanate can offend.

What's more, the army of the Tang Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate is not weak. ”

The strength of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate is naturally not weak, just two forbidden armies plus a standing garrison, there are a lot, if you recruit tribal warriors, you can take out 100,000 troops. In the Hexi region, unless it was a united Guiyi army, it might still be able to fight, but not the Ganzhou Uighurs.

Although he had already guessed the outcome of this trip, it was useless for Omar to retreat at this time.

If he had decided not to sue for peace, none of them would have been able to return to the territory of the Khanate.

Although the two countries are at war and do not kill the envoys, but their Ganzhou Uighurs are the first to break the rules, do you still want the Tang people to obey it?

Without waiting too long, a cavalry from the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion 'escorted' them to Liangzhou.

Perhaps in order to show off their strength, the cavalry escorting them also passed by the barracks, and was finally brought into Liangzhou City.

When he saw that the Don army was gathering, Omar's heart sank to the bottom.

Moreover, the Tang people did not let his group go to Lanzhou, which made him even more convinced that what he had worried about before had happened, and the Tang people had no intention of being good at all about the attack on the mission.
