Chapter 1308: The Change of the River
Not only Chen Ren and Chen Sheng, father and son, with the news of the Jin people's invasion of the grassland, the entire nine sides were shaken, and many folk righteous people in the Sanjin and North China regions formed a righteous army, or in groups of three or five, or calling friends, or on foot, or riding war horses, heading towards Wuchuan, and even some big families and business travelers also sent out their warriors and families to bring weapons to Wuchuan.
On the official road, these warriors can be seen everywhere, they gather together with each other, form a team, sing heroic songs in their mouths, and take vigorous steps, as if they do not feel that the front is not a battlefield of killing, but a feast of fame and fortune.
Thinking that Li Jing conquered the grassland, not only brought peace to the grassland and the Central Plains, but more importantly, brought benefits to both sides, the cattle, sheep, horses and furs on the grassland have entered the Central Plains, and the Central Plains' tea, silk and other things have also entered the grassland, mutual benefit, whether it is the people, or business travel, have been benefited in it.
If there are swords and soldiers, not only will those lower-class people be unlucky, but more importantly, these merchants will no longer get any benefits, so when they learned that the grassland was full of smoke and the Jin people invaded, these vested interests, regardless of the danger to their lives, took various measures to help Xiao Weige resist the attack of the Jin people.
Li Jing, who was originally playing in Luoyang, also got the news of the Jin invasion, and immediately ordered Bianjing to prepare for a big war, and all kinds of grain, grass, and supplies set off for the north. He led Boyan to lead 50,000 cavalry towards Wuchuan.
Of course, there are also people who gloat, Zhao Huan of Jiangnan was overjoyed after learning the news of the Jin people's attack on Wuchuan, and Zhao Huan even feasted the military generals of Wenchen. After all, the invasion of the Jin people forced Li Jing to focus on the grassland again, and he couldn't care about Jiangnan in a short time.
Lingzhou City, the former Great Xia Palace has become the Hehuang General's Mansion, of course, as the Hehuang General, Lin Chong only lived in the front hall, back then, where the Western Xia courtiers worked.
In the hall, Lin Chong was majestic, although his physical strength was declining, but his martial arts were becoming more skilled, and even the whole person became more mature, sitting in the lobby, the surrounding generals did not dare to look at him.
"Guogong, this is the recent situation of the countries in the Western Regions." The commander of the Northwest Guard, Liu Guang, ordered someone to send a stack of papers. These are some information about the countries of the Western Regions, the Tang Dynasty stabilized the situation of the Xixia Hehuang homeland, although there are still some old and young people who secretly oppose the Tang Dynasty, but they can't become a big climate, Yelu Dashi in front, Li Qiao later, and Lin Chong now, are all generals, and they are not afraid of these guys rebelling at all, but only the countries of the Western Regions are extremely careful.
There are not many soldiers and horses in these countries, the few are thousands, and the most are twenty or thirty thousand people, for the Tang Dynasty, these countries are nothing at all, Lin Chong alone can lead tens of thousands of troops to destroy a country, but these countries have been hiding in the desert of the Western Regions, and in the face of the powerful Datang, these countries have grouped together, these countries are all centered on the Uighurs, once the Tang Dynasty sends troops, the soldiers and horses gather in the Uighurs, plus the geographical location, it will definitely make the Tang Dynasty drink a pot.
"The situation in the Western Regions is not ideal! Behind this calm, I always felt that something was going to happen. Lin Chong flipped through the documents a few times, touched his forehead and said.
Before Lin Chong, whether it was Yelu Dashi or Li Qiao, the countries of the Western Regions had never given up harassing the homeland of Western Xia, and even openly supported the old and young people of Western Xia, but in the past six months, the harassment of the past has disappeared without a trace. But after a long time, Lin Chong suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"The countries of the Western Regions have recently increased their food purchases a lot, but because we are short of food on our side, we can't support the countries of the Western Regions at all, so in fact, they haven't bought much food." Hu Songnian of Hehuang Zhizhou shook his head and said, "So some time ago, we didn't find anything unusual here. ”
"This is the biggest problem, we found out too late, if the other party has any action, it has been implemented now, simply because they get too little grain and grass, and the Western Regions itself is not a place to produce grain, even if there is any action, it will not become a climate." Lin Chong thought for a while and said.
"Where does Grandpa think the final goal of the Western Regions is?" Hu Songnian said with some worry: "Will they attack the Western Xia homeland?" If it is linked to those old and young people in Western Xia, I'm afraid it will not be good for us! There were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Western Xia, and it was difficult to resist internal and external collusion. ”
"It's fine if they attack us, and I'm worried that they're not targeting us." Lin Chong shook his head, the soldiers and horses in his hands were only tens of thousands, and it was not enough to deal with these coalition forces, but if the objects of the countries in the Western Regions were not the homeland of Western Xia, the homeland of Hehuang, that would be the biggest crisis, which made Lin Chong sit on pins and needles, and he didn't know what to do.
"The countries of Western Xia are huddled together, if it is to the east, it is to the west, and it is not to the north?" Hu Songnian couldn't help but laugh.
"To the north? It doesn't have to be impossible. Lin Chong crossed a lightning bolt in his heart, beckoned everyone, and said: "Although the north is a desert, the countries of the Western Regions themselves live in the desert, and we regard the desert as a place of death, but for the countries of the Western Regions, it is only a little troublesome, and their soldiers and horses can directly enter the grassland." ”
"This, how is this good?" Hu Songnian was flustered for a while, and asked with some worry.
"Commander Liu, go and check immediately, what the hell are the Uighurs doing?" Lin Chong's face was solemn, he looked outside, and said: "I'm afraid that war has come, the homeland of Western Xia, the land of Hehuang, it was not easy to calm down, and this time I will suffer war again." ”
"I hope this kind of thing doesn't happen, once there is a war in Western Xia, I'm afraid that the situation that Your Majesty managed to maintain with great difficulty will be buried again." Hu Songnian also knew the situation and sighed slightly. He still harbored a trace of luck in his heart, and only hoped that war would not break out.
"Pass the order, the army will cancel the rest and prepare for war! Order the people of the eight tribes to come to see General Ben. This general needs to recruit the soldiers and horses of various tribes to see what these countries in the Western Regions are capable of, and they are actually making trouble under the nose of this general. Lin Chong felt that a great war was about to break out, and if he wanted to maintain the situation in the Western Xia homeland, it was impossible to rely on the army of the Tang Dynasty alone, and he needed the support of the Xifeng, Tuoba and other tribes of the Western Xia.
