Chapter 251 If you don't break Loulan, you won't pay it back, and if you break Loulan, you won't pay it back—2
For Suning's arrangement, the base camp in Liangzhou, not long after, there were dissatisfied voices, some people think that Suning's offensive deployment is too careful, in fact, Liangzhou's current military strength is enough to deal with anyone's threat to the Hexi Corridor.
After years of accumulation, the martial atmosphere in the Liangzhou area has been brewed more intensely, and the belief in joining the army to protect the family and defend the country has long been under the urging of the Pangu Sect, and has penetrated into the hearts of the residents at a faster speed, so when most of the boys will choose to join the army without hesitation after a year, even if they are children with excellent grades in school, there are many people who disdain the olive branch thrown by the Academy of Sciences, and join the major columns under Suning from Rong.
As for Suning, after putting forward the concept of equal centimeters, due to the expansion of the army, the number of people joining the army has increased more and more, and now under the command of his Liangzhou Mu Suning, there are 150,000 troops, not including a large number of engineers and tuntian soldiers, as well as reserve soldiers who have just retired from the army.
Such a grand occasion, is only able to lead 600 people to resist 20,000 Xianbei cavalry Suning can not imagine, among his ministers, there have been people who joke that the lord is still living in the shadow of the year, although the battle was won, but the lord's cautious character was also cultivated in that battle, although Suning denied this statement in every way, but there are still many people who retain this view in their hearts, especially after Suning put forward the idea of ensuring the safety of the Hexi Corridor, This kind of idea is even more noisy, and it continues to spread within the Liangzhou system!
It is precisely because of their strong self-confidence in their own military strength and their incomplete understanding of the main attack on Suning that the courtiers under the rule of Liangzhou are too confident in the current security situation, so they express great dissatisfaction with Suning's strategy, thinking that Suning is purely superfluous and worrying, but Suning is obviously not ready to let these people's ideas influence their opinions.
In the process of patrolling to the southwest, he summoned 3,000 elite cavalry with the professional Luo Luo system, and then summoned Xue Rengui, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, in the question-and-answer mode, and ordered him to lead 3,000 cavalry to advance directly into Dafeichuan on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
As a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, Xue Rengui has made immortal contributions to the expansion of the territory of the Tang Dynasty, of course, outside of Dafeichuan, but it is a stain that will be difficult to erase for the rest of his life! Therefore, the first thing he summoned was to let him lead the most elite cavalry to the Tibetan Plateau to save face, and if he could, he hoped to further control the situation there, at least draw a buffer zone to the southwest to ensure the security of the flank of the Hexi Corridor.
With such a purpose, Suning directly appointed Xue Rengui as the envoy of the mountain case, and summoned the famous Tang general Ge Shuhan as his deputy to lead the troops into the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
As for the flank threat from the northwest, Suning did not make a targeted deployment, he just ordered Attila's department stationed north of Xingxing Gorge to attack to the east every once in a while, Attila is obviously very satisfied with Suning's order, he is ready to use the way of cutting leeks, and he will carry out a large-scale plundering operation every one or two years, knowing that the Xianbei there is no, completely obey Suning, and no longer dare to threaten the Hexi Corridor!
Due to the need to guard against Attila's attack from the west, the main forces of the western Xianbei were placed in this area, and there was not enough force to plunder the Hexi Corridor in the southwest. Suning used this euphemistic way to ensure the safety of the Hexi Corridor, but it also brought a not very good consequence, that is, the Loulan Kingdom west of Attila took all kinds of tough measures against Wang Xuance, the envoy sent by Suning, due to the loss of a huge threat.
When Wang Xuance said goodbye to Suning, he had a strong self-confidence on his face, but when he came back, he was crying with a sad face, which made Suning very unhappy after seeing him, and he didn't need to ask him to know that the purpose of Wang Xuance's trip was obviously not achieved, but Suning didn't think about it either, after all, there are many changing factors in diplomatic matters, and a temporary diplomatic failure does not mean the failure of the overall strategy.
According to Wang Xuance, the reigning king of Loulan was very dissatisfied with his visit, not only refused to put him in the city, but also threatened his personal safety with a knife and axe, although Wang Xuance argued with reason, and emphasized that he came for the purpose of peace, and was ready to bring the princes and nobles of Loulan Kingdom, as well as the common people here, to have a better life, but the king of Loulan was skeptical about his purpose, and, based on this skeptical attitude, as well as the characteristics of the king of Loulan who was young and vigorous, His attitude was not only tough, but also very irrational.
"Lord, although the king of Loulan is strong, but there is still the queen mother in the country, if you still believe me, I am willing to have an accident again, to persuade the queen mother, through her to influence the decision of the king of Loulan, maybe this matter, there is still room for redemption, so as not to let the two countries meet each other."
When Suning heard Wang Xuance say this, he instinctively felt that something was wrong, this person's evaluation in history was not high, otherwise with his legendary experience, he would have already been famous in Chinese and foreign history, but Suning has studied for many years, and has taught in universities for many years, so he naturally knows that the more important the person, the more he will appear in the textbooks of the lower level of the month. But the name Wang Xuance is not mentioned in primary and secondary school textbooks, isn't it surprising that a person who is famous in a foreign land does not appear in Chinese textbooks in the wave of internationalization?
Suning knew that after returning from India's victory, this person only saw a few people in the Fafan State who refined medicine for Tang Taizong, and since then he has contributed his own strength to the inexplicable death of a generation of holy masters.
To sum up, although this person's experience is like a legend, but his temperament is very speculative, the reason why he is willing to take risks, go thousands of miles, with the power of one person to agitate like a spring, borrow 7,000 cavalry from the Tang Dynasty's neighboring allies, and then destroy an ancient Indian country, mainly because he wants to speculate politically, so he will choose an opportunistic road after returning to China, hoping to help the emperor achieve his desire for immortality, to attract his attention, and to obtain the promotion of political status.
So can the words of such political speculators really be believed? Of course, Suning refused to believe him, so he didn't give him a chance to make another move, but directly ordered Zhang Qizhang, commander-in-chief of the Northwest Front Army: "Gather troops and attack Loulan!" ”
