Chapter 257 If you don't break Loulan, you won't pay it back, and if you break Loulan, you won't pay it back—8

"My lord is right to think so! The fronts in the southeast, northwest, and northwest should be attacked alternately, or let the soldiers exercise their experience on the battlefield, otherwise, even if the equipment is excellent, it is easy to die under the battle formation for a long time, when I was in Europe all over the world, it was to beat the Western Roman Empire today, and the Eastern Roman Empire tomorrow, if the lord can dominate Central Asia and West Asia after many years, then I will go to Europe again to quell the Roman rebellion for the lord! ”

Suning couldn't help but smile bitterly, the Roman Empire was not the state of the Han Dynasty, where did the rebellion come from! If Attila's ambition is like this, it will move her a lot! In other words, he has been planning that if he can extend the tentacles of Chinese civilization to the distant Mediterranean, then what a magnificent change it will bring to his profound civilization, which is really a longing for the future!

At this time, a group of cavalry suddenly rushed to the west, looking at their embarrassed appearance, as if they had been attacked by something, looking at their outfits, Suning couldn't help but be shocked, that group of cavalry turned out to be his subordinates, and the number was the one taken away by Ma Yi!

Suning hurriedly led someone to stop them, asked what happened, and when they saw him, he turned over and dismounted and fell to the ground and cried bitterly, claiming that he was in the territory of Loulan Kingdom, and was suddenly attacked by a group of friendly troops, and most of the grain and grass they sold were snatched up by friendly troops.

Suning couldn't help but be shocked, whose subordinates are this, dare to have such courage, you must know that those grains, but it is related to the livelihood of the entire Liangzhou next year, if it can't be in place in time, then next spring, Liangzhou will face an embarrassing situation, and the millions of displaced people who have been recruited with great difficulty may relaunch the rebellion because of this, and Liangzhou, which has few residents and most of the main battle forces in the border areas, will be very likely to be destroyed by this rebellion.

Such a grim situation had already been communicated to the middle and senior commanders, and they were told to seize the opportunity to carry out all necessary production and plunder, so as to ensure that there would be enough grain and grass next year to cope with the crisis of the spring famine.

Could it be that it was because of this order of his that the army that was fighting in the Loulan Kingdom mistakenly launched this plunder. However, Fu Ning thought about it, the army there was only responsible for the war, even if the grain was snatched, it had to be handed over to others for transportation, and the caravan that returned from the Kushan Empire was itself responsible for transportation, and they handed over the grain they had stolen to the transport team and brought it back together, it was already too much muddy water in the brain cells, if they still had to grab the grain they transported, and then find someone else to transport it back, wouldn't it be a superfluous move, and what went into the brain cells was not muddy water, but a whole big jellyfish.

Therefore, he couldn't judge the situation there at once, although he asked a lot of specific information, but the only thing he could determine was the army that launched the attack, that is, the Northwest Front Army subordinate to Zhang Qi and Zhang Zhifu.

Suning pondered for a long time, and decided to go to Loulan Kingdom to take a look in person, so he recalled the cavalry that was attacking in the southwest direction, and added an additional 2,000 light cavalry to Attila, leading an army of a total of 5,000 people, and rushed into the territory of Loulan Kingdom.

Most of the land of the Loulan Empire is busy with the great project of spring ploughing at the moment! The spring wheat that was planted was also slowly growing under the careful care of the soldiers.

Judging by the way they looked, they should be thoroughly implementing their own policies, so they didn't mutiny, but why did they attack friendly forces?

Suning didn't ask those soldiers, because what they could know was also very limited, and if they asked for some secrets of the Thai core, it would only cause them to move, but not get the right answer, so he just asked the soldiers for directions, and went directly to the capital of the Loulan Kingdom.

But before they could reach the city, they saw smoke rising in the distance. Suning's heart couldn't help but be very strange, didn't he say that he would adopt the method of siege before, so that the enemy would slowly run out of food and grass before launching a key attack? Why did you suddenly change your strategy at this time and launch an attack in advance? Wouldn't that cause a lot of casualties?

So he hurriedly led people to investigate, and as soon as he arrived at the front line, he saw Zhang Qi commanding the soldiers to attack the city, and beside him, there was a figure of Ma Yi.

"How did you two stand together?" Suning asked curiously, why can the food robbers and the food robbers stand together so harmoniously? Could it be that there is something wrong with its own intelligence? It can be seen that those soldiers are indeed very embarrassed, and there are traces of battle on the armor and swords. Obviously, what they reported to themselves could not be false, so what they saw now may be different.

When the two saw that it was Suning who came, they couldn't help but bow and salute, saying, "Lord, why are you here?" ”

Suning coughed lightly and said to them: "Now that the bowl system is ready, I am going to run two laps on the grassland first, so that I won't get lost when I cruise in the future." ”

Those two people understood your words, and they couldn't help but be embarrassed and silent. Even if they ask that question and realize that they are asking in vain, do they still need to ask about such an obvious thing? Suning came this time, since he came to ask why the grain was robbed.

So Zhang Ji stepped forward and explained: "Lord, I originally planned to be a sleepy Loulan, slowly wait for him to run out of food and grass, and then take it in one fell swoop, but a few days ago there was news that the neighboring Yanqi Kingdom, Qiuci, and Mo were ready to jointly send troops to rescue Loulan. However, I did not have enough troops to besiege Loulan while taking into account the local agricultural production and resisting the joint attack of the three countries. ”

When Suning heard him say this, he gradually understood the danger, so he said: "So you are ready to take the capital of Loulan as soon as possible, or spare enough troops to resist the invasion of the other three countries." ”

"Exactly!"

"Then the rest of the problem is simple, if you take a tough way to achieve it, it will cause huge casualties, and secondly, it may delay a lot of time, resulting in the alliance of the three kingdoms has entered the territory of Loulan, and you have not yet taken the capital. In this case, the agricultural reclamation area we have just acquired will be threatened by the forces of the Triple Alliance. ”

"The lord is wise, that's exactly the truth!"

"So you came up with a way to use this batch of grain and grass ......"
