Chapter 334: Multinational Invasion
"The situation is not good, Gao Chang actually made a move, he was defeated by the surprise attack of the younger brother, and some reinforcements were gathered, it is only a few days late, what to do now, I want Brother Su to pay attention." Yu Chi Baolin solemnly introduced the situation to Su Dingfang.
"I see!" Only then did Su Dingfang understand why Yu Chi Baolin had only arrived now, and he had originally guessed that he must be in trouble, but he didn't expect the matter to be so serious.
"Let Yanqi go back, defend their city, tell them that the king will contact him in time if there is a situation, and the Tang Dynasty will protect him, and then scatter the manpower, notify all the merchants, inquire about the situation in the Western Regions, contact Hu Shang, let people hide in their team, and send the news back to Chang'an.
We gather supplies, food, bows and arrows, hold this place, wait for the imperial order, or wait for information, and make decisions. Su Dingfang frowned and thought for a long time before he spoke.
"Brother Su has a good way, just do what you say, and the little brother will arrange it." Yu Chi Baolin was originally a careful person, but Su Dingfang was the chief official of the Western Regions, so he naturally wanted to listen to him.
…………
Just when the Western Regions were in turmoil, Cui Tao also said in the Western Turks that he was unscrupulous to protect the Khan, ignoring the obstruction of Mo Heshe and Ashina, and forced him to carry ten Turkic surnames and 300,000 troops to attack Longyou Dao.
Ashina Ni and Li Shimin are sworn brothers, they have been to Chang'an many times, and naturally understand the prosperity and strength of the Tang Dynasty, but this time there is no way but to follow the attack, firstly, because he personally supports Yehu, no matter what, he can't get out of it, and secondly, Cui Tao's plan moved him, because at the same time, Tuyuhun sent 50,000 troops to Jiannan Road.
Ashina Ni was willing to send troops, and Ye Hu was naturally very happy, and let him lead 100,000 soldiers of his clan to attack the Shuofang grassland, intending to form a partial division and take the opportunity to recover the Yin Mountain to Shuofang generation.
Not long after the Western Turks sent troops, Xue Yantuo Yinan Khan dispatched 150,000 soldiers and horses of his entire clan to attack the newly developed Wubao of the Tang Dynasty at the foot of Yin Mountain.
Soon after Tuyuhun sent out his troops, Tubo also moved, and 200,000 troops descended from the plateau and went straight to Songzhou.
The Tibetans are now only fourteen years old and are in the process of unifying the tribes with the help of the great minister Gar Dongzan.
In recent years, the Tang Dynasty has continuously sold liquor, porcelain, and silk to the plateau, exchanging a large amount of wheat, barley, yak, horses, sheep, wool, goat's milk, etc., so that the plateau tribal leaders live in luxury, but also make the people's lives more difficult, and invisibly help Songtsen Gampo to speed up the pace of unification.
By now, most of the area has been unified, and it is precisely because the Tang Dynasty continues to exchange materials and sell luxury goods to the plateau, making the lives of most of the people more difficult.
Fortunately, Datang has been preparing for more than half a year, and Tanma pays attention to various places at any time, coupled with the assistance of telescopes, not only do countries have spies pretending to be businessmen, but there are also Tanma with binoculars on the high mountains on the road that must be passed, double insurance.
Not long after the countries sent troops, the wolf smoke had been ignited, which represented the urgency, and the three wolf smoke that were attacked rose into the sky, and the wolf smoke was now the fastest way to spread, and it was clearly visible for dozens of miles.
Along the way, there was constantly wolf smoke being lit, and in just one hour, the wolf smoke of Longshouyuan was also ignited, and the position had already been fixed, and the meaning of the representation was also very clear.
Jingyang bell sounded thirty-six times in a row, resounding throughout Chang'an City, making the faces of countless insiders change, and at the first sound of Jingyang bell, many ministers were ready to enter the palace, and silently counted the number in their hearts, and then stepped out of the mansion.
Thirty-six rings are second only to the eighty-one rings of Daqing, and the one hundred and eight rings of the national mourning, representing the urgency of the situation, all the civil officials above the seventh grade in Chang'an City, all enter the palace to participate in politics in half an hour, and the generals need to arrive at their posts immediately to prepare for war.
Thirty-six Jingyang bells ended, and the drums of the garrison near Chang'an City sounded at the same time.
Countless people don't know the meaning of the thirty-six Jingyang bells, but there is no adult who doesn't know the Jujiang drum, and countless young people who were originally working and shopping put down their work and rushed home.
These are not on duty government soldiers, as well as on vacation elite soldiers, they with the help of their wives and children with weapons, they set off back to their respective stations, because the government soldiers want to maintain local law and order, train villagers, weapons and armor, war horses are at home, the court will compensate for the money and food for raising war horses, so they all need to bring all the equipment, but those who only carry weapons are all elite soldiers, they only bring weapons, because the war horses they use, the armor is the best, they need to be raised, and it is convenient to bring weapons home at any time for training.
As a result, countless people in the streets and alleys hurried home, and heavily armed people, hurriedly coming and going.
The left and right Wuhou also went out together, patrolling the streets with knives, in case someone made waves, you must know that most people usually just patrol the streets with sticks, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Half an hour later, the Taiji Hall was crowded, more than 1,000 officials of all sizes stood in the hall full, and even outside the hall there were many officials lined up in an orderly manner.
Li Shimin stepped into the hall on time half an hour after the bell rang and sat majestically.
"See my emperor, my emperor St. Ann!"
"The Qing's family is free of courtesy, flat!"
Although the situation is urgent, the ceremony must not be abolished, and everything is carried out as usual.
"Enlighten the Holy One! The border pass wolf smoke urgently, the Western Turks, Xue Yantuo, and Tuyuhun have all sent troops, and the soldiers are pointing to the Tang Dynasty, the specific number is unknown, and the purpose is unknown. Although Li Shimin already knew, Li Jing still went out to play.
"According to the regulations, less than 50,000 soldiers and horses are allowed to attack, and no wolf smoke is allowed to report urgently, it seems that the enemy is menacing! The military department can have an arrangement! Li Shimin asked cooperatively.
"Back to the saint, Longyou Dao has Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng County, guarding the town, with 50,000 elite soldiers stationed there, and 30,000 government soldiers can be summoned in a short time, as well as 1,000 elephant soldiers.
Hetao County has the Anxi Governor Tanguo Gong Zhang Gongjin to guard, the same 40,000 elite soldiers, 10,000 Hui cavalry, and 10,000 elite soldiers in Shuofang County in the rear, led by General Xue Wanche, the county prince.
Yinshan County has 30,000 elite soldiers in Suguo Gongcheng Zhijie, and at the same time, the Wang family, the Zheng family and other families can form 30,000 government soldiers, and if the situation requires, they can also transfer 200,000 young men to assist.
Youzhou's 20,000 elite soldiers can also support at any time, and at the same time, Xue Rengui and 3,000 cavalry are in Longyou Road, and now that there is a war situation, they will inevitably stay in Longyou Road.
Jiannan Road has Chen Guogong Marquis Junji with 30,000 elite soldiers to defend it, and Jiannan Road can gather 20,000 government soldiers.
The Ministry of War suggested sending 100,000 troops to the Kannai Road, and when the situation was clarified, the soldiers and horses would support the front. Li Jing replied loudly.
