Chapter 1065 Arrogant Duke
Anthony led the army to garrison the western region all the year round, traded with the Tang Dynasty, and earned a lot of gold and silver for Sasanian.
He has his own plans and knows Datang well.
His cold eyes glanced at the down-and-out Yeluqing, and he didn't take the embarrassed prince in front of him in his eyes at all.
Regardless of whether the Tang Emperor intended to lead the army to the west, what does the Khitan have to do with Yeluqing after the fall of the Khitan.
got up and walked slowly to Yeluqing, and said contemptuously: "How to deploy the Sassanid army, what is the plan, I can't let you dictate, leave the money and food, and go back to the east." ”
He knew that the Khitan used to be a large tribe in the East, and at its peak, the wolf riders were extremely powerful, and even the Turks were afraid of three points.
It's a pity that the Tang Dynasty rose strongly, and the Khitan had to bow down.
A prince whose tribe surrendered to the Tang Dynasty ventured to negotiate with him to jointly defend against the Tang army.
What a ridiculous topic.
Jerechin came with great hope to persuade Anthony.
Unexpectedly, Anthony wanted to seize his wealth and expel him from the barracks.
For a while, his face was angry.
"You..."
He risked his life to come to form an alliance, but was despised by Anthony.
At this moment, Anthony would rather trade with Datang than believe his advice.
With such a short-sighted appearance, how to be promoted to the chief general of the Sassanid army, Yang Yue will lead the appearance on the Sassanid border in the next year, and it is strange that he can block the edge of the Tang army.
He took a long breath and shouted angrily: "Anthony, you refuse Prince Ben's suggestion and rob Prince Ben of his gold and silver, and one day, you will regret your decision. ”
As the saying goes, there are fewer than a thousand cups of wine for a confidant, and there is more than half a sentence for speculation.
Since he had no common topic with Anthony, Yeluqing was reluctant to stay in the tent for long.
When he was about to turn away, Anthony giggled and asked in an unkind tone: "With the alliance with Sasani, can you bring a good horse, can you mobilize elite soldiers?" The Khitan is destroyed, and a lost dog like you, who doesn't even have a place to live, how can he qualify for an alliance with Sasani? ”
As he spoke, Anthony turned around and picked up the wine glass on the table next to him and poured it on Yeluqing's face, and the red wine was like blood, flowing on Yeluqing's face.
At this time, Anthony signaled to the soldiers outside the tent to stand up to Yeluqing, and he expelled him from the barracks.
It was freezing and snow-capped on all sides.
Like a beggar who had broken into the house of a rich man, he was thrown into the snow by two sturdy Sassanid soldiers.
Being in Sassanid and having nothing to rely on, Yeluqing wiped the wine from his face and stared fiercely at the Sassanid military camp, as if he wanted to engrave the other party in his mind.
At this time, standing up in the cold wind, he felt like a tiger falling into Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, and a phoenix falling into the soup was not as good as a chicken.
It's a pity that except for a few cronies, there is no one to rely on.
He had no way to fight back against Anthony's domineering attitude and arrogant approach.
A cronie stepped forward, supported Yeluqing, glared at the Sassanid military camp, his fists creaked, and asked angrily: "Prince, Antony insulted you, what should I do now, Sassanid refuses to provide the prince with a place to stay, and the Tang army is wanted to hunt down the prince along the way." Unless he went to Anxi to surrender to the Tang army, there was no place for the prince. ”
"Anthony insulted the prince, just with everyone's strength, it seems that he can't help the prince to be ashamed, the villain suggests, why not follow the king of Khan, claim to the Tang Dynasty, and lead the army to level the Sassanid in the future, and cut Antony's head to shame." Another cronie suggested.
These people are not only loyal to Yeluqing, but also brave and good at fighting in the Khitan, and quite strategic.
After Yeluqing's humiliation, they deeply realized that without the backing of a powerful tribe, they were nothing in the eyes of others.
Today, Anthony's insult to the prince is already light. If they kill the prince, they will not be able to save them.
Yeluqing picked up the white snow on the ground, washed the red wine from his face, crunched his clenched fists, and said angrily: "There is no master here, there is a place to stay here, go to Anxi for the time being, all dormant, and when the wolf rides in the next year, I will think about it in the long run." ”
"Whoa!"
Several cronies nodded and protected Yeluqing from leaving.
Inside the Sassanid tent.
Anthony held his glass, swaying the red wine back and forth, leaning on the step to ponder Yeluqing's words.
In the past, he did not believe that the Tang army wanted to advance westward.
After all, even at the peak of the Tang Dynasty's national power, they only reached Anxi in the western territory, and before they had time to open their hands to the west, Wang Chao declined.
After Yang Yue's hard work, Datang rose again, but unfortunately it still only operates the Anxi region, and has not even recovered the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains.
If the Tang army wanted to reach Sasanian, it had to cross the vast desert and the Gobi.
Here, the harsh climate and perverted terrain have never been suitable for the march of large regiments.
However, Anthony did not dare to despise Yang Yue.
Yang Yue inherited the throne, destroyed the Turks, pacified Tibet, and eliminated these two major forces, which was enough to attract his attention.
Now that he could think of moving west along the Turkic North, didn't Yang Yue have similar thoughts?
This way, except for a few small tribes, is basically all plains, which is very suitable for cavalry marching.
If Yang Yue led the Tang army to choose this marching route, he could reach the Sassanid territory quietly at any time, and he would be caught off guard.
If he was careless and despised Yang Yue and the brave and warlike Tang Army, he might not have time to open the fortress to the Tang Dynasty, and he would be killed by the Tang Army.
got up and walked to the military tent, glanced at the Quartet generals with a serious expression, and said coldly: "Arnold, send spies to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate to find out the situation of the Tang Army as soon as possible!" ”
"Duke, after the winter, the climate is bad, and the road to Anxi is basically covered by heavy snow, should you go at this time?" Arnold asked.
The winter offensive against the small tribes in the north has caused dissatisfaction among many generals, and they have arranged for spies to go to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, isn't this sending everyone to death?
"Now, now!" Anthony shouted.
"Yes!" Arnold nodded.
"Clark, from today onwards, lead the army to speed up the attack of the northern tribes, and at all costs, it is necessary to completely occupy the main fortress heading to the Tang Dynasty before the spring flowers bloom." Anthony instructed another general.
Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case.
Although the Sassanians still had close trade contacts with the Tang Dynasty, Yang Yue was not satisfied with the benefits he had obtained, and insisted on leading the army to the west.
He had to take the lead in the places where the Tang army might be stationed, garrison the elite soldiers in advance, and block the pace of the Tang army.
lest the Tang army come to attack, the road will be unimpeded, as if entering a no-man's land.
"Anthony, the down-and-out prince, is not to be trusted?" Clark retorted that he did not believe that the Tang Army would be able to trek through mountains and rivers in the future.
The key is that he is unwilling to lead the army to continue fighting in the cold and cold weather, and in the evil climate, any battle will lose a lot of soldiers, and it is definitely not normal people who can hold on.
