Chapter 597: Desperate Survival (Part II)
"What? The Gauls actually sent secret envoys? At the end of the eleventh year of the Apocalypse, when Hu Xiaosi brought the urgent news he received urgently to Xu Tianxiang in the General Staff Building, several of the top echelons of the Tiance Army sitting in the General Staff were a little surprised, they were originally aware of the development of the situation on Taixi's side, and naturally understood what it meant for Taixi to send envoys to the Tang Dynasty at this time, so for a moment, several people frowned and muttered.
"Little four, did you inform the prime minister of this news?" Chen Fan put down the teacup and shook his head and said, "This Gaul has a lot of means, and it is surprising to break the situation so at this time." According to the speed at which the Dark Guard transmits information, I'm afraid that they have already crossed the sea and are about to reach the eastern shore of the Mediterranean, right? In other words, we must make a decision within three days, otherwise the Northwest Xingyuan and Senior Brother may not have enough time to react. Chen Fan's words made everyone nod, and then everyone looked at Hu Xiaosi, who shook his head and said: "I rushed to the General Staff after receiving urgent information, and the emperor didn't know about it." But you don't have to worry, this news was sent by Qin Kong to the Northwest Xingyuan and the Western Expeditionary Army Headquarters first, and then to me. The senior brother and the deputy prime minister are afraid that they have already made a decision now, compared to how we decide, the senior brother's side is prepared. Moreover, Qin Kong had already gone to the territory of Gaul at this time. "Qin Kong didn't turn his own actions, so it means that he has already started to take action on the front line, and Hu Xiaosi is not worried about his Xuan Yingwei's ability to deal with emergencies.
"In that case, let's go to the emperor, and then send someone to inform the prime minister to go to the Changqing Palace to meet, no matter what, our Tang Dynasty must come up with an attitude, especially the Phoenicia Canal has now been talked about by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the cabinet and the northwest line have mobilized almost half of the materials and manpower within the empire to prepare to officially go to the Red Sea coast after the year, and the navy is moving, at this time, the situation on the Taixi side will definitely not be allowed to have unexpected variables." Xu Tianxiang clapped his palms and immediately went to Changqing Hall to find Li Xuanqing and report the matter to everyone else.
"It seems that this Louie is really extraordinary, and it is beyond my expectation that he can think of this trick and eliminate it." Li Xuanqing was also deeply surprised, he didn't remember that this Louis who was in charge of the Frankish Kingdom at this time was so powerful, he could see at a glance the power of Taixi's outside, and he also used such a trick to drag Datang, who was already sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, into the center of Taixi's vortex in an instant. His vision is high, and the wisdom of the layout has to make him admire. However, he was sincerely emotional, but Hu Xiaosi, who dragged Zhang Jianzhong in next to him, said disdainfully: "Your Majesty, don't look at this Louis so rampant, I can make him regret his self-made cleverness with my backhand." "There's no reason why he shouldn't be angry, and the overall situation on Taixi's side is basically presided over by Xuan Yingwei at the front desk. Although Hu Xiaosi's temperament has changed a lot over the years because Gesang is often sick, the spirit of looking down on the world has not been erased, so after sitting down, he sneered: "This trick to deal with him is actually very simple, one move is enough to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, and you don't need to spend more brains." If the news of Louie's unexpected death spreads in Tessie, then Da Qin and Da Shi will definitely be able to guess what happened, and the situation will not turn in the worst direction at that time. It's just a pimple in Da Qin and Da Shi's hearts, when do I still need to see their faces? His words made Wang Houchun cry out happily, this kind of conspiracy is inherently wrong for these two guys who advocate swords and go sideways, so Wang Houchun directly supported Hu Xiaosi, and said that he could consider transferring a brigade of the Flying Eagle Brigade into the northwest to act with Qin Kong.
"I said, can you two stop making trouble? We're here to see how to deal with this secret envoy, not to see you two playing tricks here, and it doesn't matter to us whether Louis dies or not. Yang Tiancheng hurriedly grabbed the two of them and continued to speak, and then said, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, do you two think that the Northwest Expedition should keep this secret envoy out of the national border?" ”
"Your Majesty, I don't think there's a need to pay too much attention to this secret envoy, since they want to come, let them come." Zhang Jianzhong also figured out the ins and outs of this matter while a few people were talking at this time, but it was the first time for him to participate in this kind of strategizing and remote control thousands of miles away, so his reaction speed was a little slow, but at this time, he suddenly said: "They are all secret envoys, so we don't need to receive them, just let the Northwest Xingyuan block them in Shule and other places, ignore them, just don't release people before the secret guard finishes dealing with it." No matter how bad it is, I will directly ask Qu Chengmei to represent Datang in Shule and tell them my attitude towards Datang, and let them solve Taixi's affairs by themselves, unless something involves the vital interests of my Datang, otherwise we should not meddle in Taixi's internal affairs. In this way, even if he is a Gaul with great ability, if the news can't be spread, he naturally doesn't have to worry about their schemes, and even that Louis can be killed or not. It only needs to be guaranteed that from the moment the other party sets foot on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean, it must be under the control of my Datang. Zhang Jianzhong's words made everyone suddenly, and this kind of approach that is almost like power is a good way at this time. If the Gallic Mission, which was under the control of the Dark Guard and the Western Expeditionary Army, could make a big wave, then everyone present could step down. Therefore, everyone, including Xu Tianxiang, looked at the new prime minister and secretly admired it in their hearts, it was indeed an imperial elite, and it was indeed deserved to be able to sit on the prime minister's throne.
Li Xuanqing clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, this matter will be in accordance with the Prime Minister's opinion, and the Cabinet and the General Staff will jointly send a letter to the Northwest Expedition and the Western Expeditionary Army Command, so that they can act according to the plan." As for how Xuan Yingwei's side will deal with this matter, Xiao Si, you can handle it yourself, but as the prime minister said, how Qin Kong's actions on the front line will not affect the overall situation, then let him make his own decisions. ”
When Chang'an's side quickly made a decision to deal with the secret envoys of Gaul, Qin Kong, who secretly entered Paris from Reims in Gaul, finally met Louis, the king of the Frankish kingdom who looked tall and tall in his thirties, and also found out more real-time information with the help of the secret guards. On the contrary, these made Qin Kong unable to make up his mind for a while, if this Louis wanted to kill himself, it would not be much different from killing a chicken based on the other party's current level of protection. But according to the current situation of the Frankish kingdom, Louis is its backbone, once it falls, then the kingdom that is struggling on the brink of life and death will inevitably fall apart completely, and the various cities and castle lords inside will also completely collapse in the face of pressure. In this way, it is equivalent to personally helping Great Qin, which makes Qin Kong unwilling to do it anyway. And the most important point is that Louis is ready to abandon all the lands on the continent of Ctesi and return all his main descendants and population to the peninsula of England, this means and heart doomed him to be able to integrate the entire Gauls at a critical juncture, and only in this way can the Gauls be able to pinch all the tribes on the island of England in the event of a great war on Tessie's side. In this way, Datang's strategy in Taixi can be implemented. Therefore, although Louie's move is a desperate fight to survive, but on the other hand, it actually gives Datang's follow-up plan a better basis for implementation. Moreover, at this time, most of the tribes in the Taixi Continent did not have much awakening in their own national consciousness, and there was not much sense of resistance at all under the powerful military suppression of Great Qin. The determination of the Gauls to have such independence was actually what the Tang Dynasty needed. In this case, the plan that I hastily decided to draw the bottom of the kettle does not look so perfect.
When Qin Kong's side was hesitant to make a move on Louis, in fact, according to his instructions on the east coast of the Mediterranean, Yeluqi had already met this team of secret envoys, but because Yeluqi did not indicate the official identity of the representative at this time, the other party was not very interested in the various businesses that Yeluqi said, and the two sides broke up after talking for less than half an hour. And when the caravan left, Yeluqi and Ah Liu both sneered. The caravan that went to Datang this year was unwilling to do business with the Yelu family, which is very strange in itself, plus the caravan is not interested in business, so why should it be done?
"My mission is accomplished, but my opinion is that it is best for you to send someone to spy on them without receiving orders from your superiors, and to keep them all under control if necessary. They don't do business, but they pretend to be caravans and go to Datang will definitely not be a good thing. Yeluzi didn't know the whole plan of the Dark Guard, but that didn't prevent him from deducing this part of the result with his own ingenuity.
"Brother Yelu, don't worry, I've arranged a team of people to go with them, but I'm sorry to call your family again this time." Ah Liu arched his hand towards Yeluqi and smiled.
"It's okay, it's a big deal, when I go back to Chang'an, I'll ask your commander for patent fees." Yeluqi made a joke and hurried away with his own people. The Yelu family specializes in trade with Daqin, and he, the head of the Yelu family, has been staying in the northwest and Taixi almost all the year round in recent years, so he rushed to Byzantium after saying goodbye to Ah Liu. On the one hand, Ah Liu hurriedly reported to the Uighur corps stationed in the front and asked the garrison to assist in secret surveillance, and on the other hand, he urgently summoned the headquarters of the Northwest Expedition and the Western Expeditionary Army to report the results of the attempt.
"Looks like we're going to have to inform the Commander." When Ah Liu sent someone to inform Qin Kong of this matter, Qin Kong finally made up his mind after hesitating for several days, put down the butcher's knife he raised again, and instead began to mobilize manpower to start implementing the plan that had been abandoned before, and released all the information about Gaul's garrison in the west to the Great Qin army that was preparing to attack Arthur and other places with heavy troops.
"Since you are so courageous, then I will add fuel to your fire, and let Daqin help you suppress the internal opposition forces as soon as possible." After Qin Kong gave the order, he smiled coldly, sat on the ground and muttered, "This Gaul can enjoy it, this is the cushion made of sea otter skin, right?" The leather is really good. ”
The efficiency of the secret guards was beyond the ordinary, and almost on the third day of Qin Kong's order, specific news and intelligence about the defenders of Arthur and other cities were quickly sent to the garrisons on the front line of Great Qin. Moreover, he secretly guarded people's eyes and ears, and deliberately instructed the shadows planted in the Great Qin army to take people to take risks to reconnoiter Arthur and other places, and some of the information was passed on to Great Qin through the hands of the Vikings in the north. Because the Vikings were allies of the Gauls, Daqin was not suspicious of the intelligence information he received, and began to mobilize troops according to the number of defenders in Arthur's city to start attacking Arthur in earnest. The rolling cannon fire kicked off the confrontation that had lasted for more than half a month, and also woke up the luck of all Gauls at this time. Louis could no longer care about the internal opposition, and began to increase his efforts to transfer all the naval fleets under his control to the west coast to participate in what came to be known as the migration that laid the foundation for the Gauls' racial awakening. Hundreds of thousands of people forced their way across the English Channel into the island of England over the next half a month, and the Gallic officials who had already arrived there began to spread out rapidly on the Big Island. As a result, Louis planned a retreat for nearly half a year, and at this time, all his own people had migrated, and the people of the Duchy of Normandy, a descendant of the Vikings, also went to the island of England on their own. The other ethnic groups of the Frankish kingdom who were reluctant to migrate completely collapsed after Arthur was strongly bombarded by the Great Qin army, and they could no longer form a neat resistance front, and they were not the opponents of the Great Qin army at all, and they were wiped out and conquered one by one. As a result, the entire plain of Paris and the large plains of the western coastline of Taixi returned to the hands of the Great Qin people after hundreds of years. In this way, in addition to the Iberian Peninsula, the Great Qin Empire has recovered most of the Taixi territory at this time, and the ambitious Great Qin people have begun to really set their sights on the big cannibals occupying the Iberian Peninsula and Egypt, the number one enemy who prevents the Great Qin Empire from restoring its former glory.
At this time, the Great Cannibal seemed to ignore the great Qin's high-flying advance in Gaul, and only raised the vigilance of the army stationed in the Iberian Peninsula, and all the other navies withdrew to the ports on the southern coast of the Mediterranean, except for one to garrison the Strait of Gibraltar, the main force was all concentrated in Egypt, and began to build batteries in Phoenicia, that is, several major ports near the mouth of the Nile, as if the navy had become a port city on the road to the garrison of auxiliary arms. At the same time, a large number of people were dispatched internally to start marching towards Egypt, and together with the members of the Xuanying Guard who rushed over in the early stage, they carried out road exploration along the route and seized the time to build the canal.
As the other party at this time, the Tang Dynasty has begun to start shipbuilding in the shipyard of the Persian Governorate, and a large number of raw materials are continuously transported to the Persian Governorate by sea or land, and the shipyard that can start building five ships at a time is in full swing. To this end, the navy dispatched a Shandong-class warship and dozens of seagoing ships to open up supply stations along the way from Baghdad to the Red Sea, and officially went to the two places circled by Li Xuanqing, preparing to deploy troops to establish long-term port terminals. A catastrophe caused by the Gauls was brought under control by Hammud near the Aral Sea and escorted to Shule and then there was no other news, although Louis's back road was successful, but the plan to leave the Jiangdong disaster was never heard from again.
