"Envoy Cui came on behalf of Shi Guo, wouldn't he just remind the king? There is and the purpose is straightforward. As the head of a country, Ko Wentai is certainly not a fool, and he was furious because of a few words, but asked calmly.

"The Tang Dynasty has traded with the Western Regions, so that our Zhaowu nine surnames can only go farther to earn wealth, which can be described as a heavy loss, everyone is a victim, and naturally we should share the same hatred." Cui Meng of the Cui family sent an envoy on behalf of Shi Guo in order to disrupt the arrangement of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions, and when Gaochang had a situation, it naturally fell into their eyes, and they sent people to agitate immediately.

"Hatred of the enemy? What are your plans, everyone should not be open and honest, if you can cooperate, this king will naturally be happy. He sat down, took a big sip of a glass of wine, and said fiercely.

"Datang has a lot of merchants in the Western Regions, these riches are a lot, and they don't have many troops in the Western Regions, but thousands of people, we can occupy more cities by joining forces, there is no need to look at Datang's eyes." Cui Meng encouraged the three-inch incorruptible tongue to persuade.

"Huh! If you anger the Tang Dynasty and send troops to attack, who can resist this, it depends on you and other countries, or the king's Gaochang, don't think about using me as a gunman. Ko Wentai sneered.

"Why should the lord of the country be angry, of course there will be a careful plan, as long as we make a move, there will be several places to attack Datang, and the Western Regions are far away from Datang, they have difficulty in supply, it is impossible to attack on a large scale, as long as the desert passage is cut off, what are thousands of men and horses afraid of.

Not to mention whether it can be defended, I am afraid that Datang will not be able to attack at that time. Cui Meng analyzed.

"Your country only needs to attack Yanqi, drag the Tang army, and wait for the rest of the large army to encircle and destroy the Tang army, and then attack the rest of the small countries together.

We promise that we will never occupy a city, and that it will be yours to defeat it. Cui Tao said respectfully, holding Lu Wentai very high, and putting Gao Chang in the first place in his tone.

"Good! This king immediately reorganized his army to fight, but you must first start against the 3,000 Tang troops stationed in Qiuzi and Cheshi, and this king will immediately attack Yanqi here and drag the escort team. Lu Wentai said with a hard slap on the case.

What Li Wentai said is the arrangement of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions, the Western Regions are small and the people are widowed, food is the most important material, and the general small country cannot support too many troops, and the Tang Dynasty has 3,000 long-term soldiers.

After discussing with Qiuzi and Cheshi, they sold them a lot of goods cheaply, and the two countries provided grain and grass, and the Tang army would also provide them with some protection, and this army was currently led by Su Dingfang.

Of course, it is impossible for the army of the Tang Dynasty to completely entrust the logistics to others, and it has already been secretly reserved by the caravan, at least it can ensure that the army's grain and grass for January can be used as a backup, and there are two small countries secretly controlled by the Wei Chi family and the Cheng family, but it will not be exposed unless it has to be exposed, the second elder of the Cheng family, Cheng Chuliang, Feng Daiwen has not seen it once, and it has been secretly controlled in the Western Regions.

In addition, there are 3,000 cavalry escorting caravans each time, and this team is escorted by Xue Rengui, Cheng Chumo, and Wei Chi Baolin in turn, firstly, because the materials are valuable, and secondly, to prevent people from robbing along the way.

"Don't worry, our army is persecuting Qiuzi, the chariot division does not dare to move, and then besiege the Tang army, your side is not too late to start, it will take time to gather manpower, it is set in September, get ready, and kill them by surprise." Cui Meng raised his hand and said fiercely.

"Good! Ha ha! Then the king is waiting for good news! Ko Wentai took a sip of the wine in his glass, laughed, and said happily.

…………

"Family master, the matter is done, Li Wentai has promised to attack Yanqi and drag the Tang army!" In a private house, Cui Meng saluted to Cui Run, the new head of the Cui family in the Western Regions.

"Excellent! The third brother has already contacted the Turks to attack the Tang Dynasty together, so that Li Shimin has no time to take care of the Western Regions, as long as we wipe out the Tang army in the Western Regions and take a few small countries, we can establish our own country and magnify the Cui family! Cui Run clenched his fists and said with a flushed face.

This is the true purpose of the Cui family - to build a country! There are all the countries that can be lured to drag down the Tang Dynasty, or even destroy it, and then establish a country in the Western Regions, as for revenge, these are all incidental, this game of chess counts dozens of countries and tribes in the world, which is not small.

"The head of the house is wise! The Cui family is the first family in the world! Cui Meng is also very supportive of this plan, in the eyes of their young people, this is what the Cui family should do, escaping is a failure behavior, after leaving Datang, they put the older generation in the air, and want to strengthen the Cui family and establish their own country.

"Li Shimin fought with other countries, we sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, the Western Regions were chaotic, and there were many small countries, as long as we can unify the Western Regions, we will be ashamed before killing back to the Central Plains, the family! There should only be the Bolingcui family. Cui Run let out a rough breath, lowered his voice, and said fiercely.

…………

Since the imperial court knew that someone would collude with other races and make waves, it would naturally not be unguarded, Li Shimin and Fang Du, the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Jing, Li Ji, Feng Daiwen and others studied for several days, and all kinds of situations were expected, and corresponding arrangements were made.

A thousand elephant soldiers in Lingnan secretly began to be transferred to Longyou Dao, Xue Rengui and Wei Chi Baolin entered the Western Regions with 3,000 Khitan cavalry pretending to be merchants, and brought a lot of weapons and equipment, and it is expected to recruit 5,000 soldiers for training in the local area.

The most elite 20,000 Japanese slaves were dispatched to form a death squad, which has entered Shuofang, trained by Zhang Gongjin, and usually helps to do some chores, anyway, it is used as livestock, but the life is good, and they will become the regular army of the Tang Dynasty as long as they do not die in three battles.

The Nanyang Kingdoms, which have also recruited 30,000 miscellaneous troops, are training in Linyi, and will be the vanguard of attacking the Bi Kingdom and Tianzhu from Zhenla in the future.

Similarly, the Tang Dynasty states are also selecting young and strong people to enlist in the army, including Lingnan, Shuzhong, Jiangnan and other places slang, sultry, Nanban, Shanyue and other more than a dozen tribes, are all conscripted, because of the implementation of the conscription system now, the treatment is good, so there are not a few ethnic minorities who sign up for the army.

Similarly, Feng Daiwen returned to Liaoxi, and also shouldered the task of Zeng soldiers, fortunately, the original Khitan in Liaoxi, the Turks were in the plan to increase troops, these soldiers learned slowly in farming, but they were good at picking up knives and cutting people.

A big country, a big country with money, entered into pre-war preparations, and the power of the explosion was quite huge, even if it was all done in secret, or it was very fast.

More iron ore was made into weapons and equipment, and the surplus grain of the people was also secretly purchased and made into military rations for reserves, which did not cause market fluctuations, and everything was carried out in secret.
