Chapter 596: Desperate Survival (I)
"Commander of the Enlightenment, Gallic Urgent." Located in a small city on the Aegean coast, Qin Kong had just had some time to take a break when he saw one of his deputies hurriedly walk in and hand him a note full of the secret guard's password.
"It's really not a day to spare, the Gauls can't come up with any countermeasures, right? The emperor's hand was not expected by anyone, I don't believe that the news has just reached Tessie, and they can immediately come up with a countermeasure, anyway, I didn't come up with it. Qin Kong shook his head, and after translating it, he was surprised, "This Gaul really has a way, this is also a good way to break the game, but no matter how I think this road, it is using our Datang?" ”
"The Gauls intend to make direct contact with my Datang, and the secret envoy has now set out from that place called Paris, and the secret guards are following along the way." Qin Kong casually informed the deputy beside him of the news and said, "I'm afraid this matter has exceeded my responsibilities and authority." You immediately send someone to urgently send this information back to the northwest Xingyuan, and then urgently transfer it to the Chang'an headquarters. Qin Kong's words surprised the deputy, and said, "This damn Gaul is only afraid that this time it is another Yang scheme, if we refuse, they will definitely make this matter public, no matter what our attitude is, they will take advantage of this to make Daqin jealous, and people will interfere in Taixi's affairs for us, so that Daqin will also be alert to my Datang, and if you don't know it, the cannibals will also react." Wouldn't that disrupt our plans? The deputy's words made Qin Kong's face gradually change, and he took a deep breath and said, "Since the Gauls want to make a move with us, then we can't be idle." You go and deliver the news immediately, and then summon all the dark guard commanders of the Taixi branch and the heads of the dragon group in the northwest to come here, if they dare to use the Tang Dynasty, don't blame me Qin for being a killer. The killing intent on Qin Kong's face made the deputy shudder, and he hurriedly turned around and hurriedly went to make arrangements.
The sudden change on Taixi's side could not be transmitted to the Tang Dynasty for the time being, but Qin Kong, who was at the forefront of the forefront, reacted quickly, and Qin Kong quickly took countermeasures, and began to sort out all the information that the dark guards had collected on the Gallic front line on weekdays, and prepared to report it directly to the generals of the Great Qin front when necessary, at the same time, the members of the dragon group also began to secretly infiltrate the Gallic area, according to Qin Kong's idea, if the Gauls really planned to drag the Tang Dynasty back into the sight of Great Qin and Great Food, It is planned that the dragon group will directly kill the current ruler of Gaul. Although the method was simple and crude, it was a draw from the bottom of the kettle and cut off the roots of the Gauls at once.
"Ah Liu, I'll leave it to you here, and you know how to deal with daily affairs. If there is an emergency, let the secret guard information at all levels be sent in duplicate, one copy will be passed directly to me, and the other copy will be sent to the Western Expeditionary Army Headquarters immediately after you change hands, and the marshal will handle it on his behalf, and then submit it to the Chang'an headquarters. After Qin Kong explained that the Dark Guard and the members of the Dragon Group immediately began to set off for emergency arrangements, he also began to set off for Gaul. The Gauls in this gap always had unexpected moves, which made Qin Kong faintly feel a little uneasy. At this time, Datang's arrangement of Taixi was nearing the end, and all kinds of backhands had basically been put on the table, and he didn't want the overall situation involving the General Staff, Xuan Yingwei and the Western Expeditionary Army to be destroyed by the Gauls for no reason. However, when Qin Kong was leaving, he suddenly became interested and asked Ah Liu to send someone to inform Yeluqi, the head of the Yelu family in Byzantium, and let him stand by in Byzantium and other places according to his orders, and prepare to meet this so-called Gallic envoy in the name of merchants. According to the current practice of the Gauls, all the members of the mission were mixed together under the name of a Venetian trading house and formed a separate caravan to go to the Tang Dynasty.
Qin Kong was originally only temporary, after all, the Yelu family itself has been in close contact with Xuanyingwei in the northwest all the year round, and many times when the secret guards perform tasks, they mostly borrow the names of Yelu family and other merchants who operate trade in the northwest to cover, and Yelu Qi Qin Kong is already familiar with it, although this kind of thing is confidential, but it is not a secret to let him do it.
Xuan Yingwei's intelligence network in Taixi began to operate at full capacity under Qin Kong's mobilization, and soon when Qin Kong arrived on the Apennine Peninsula on a merchant ship, the news from here was also sent to Shule at a rapid pace under the simultaneous advance of land and water. Under the continuous transmission of carrier pigeons and swift eagles, at the beginning of December of the eleventh year of the Apocalypse, when all parts of Datang began to enter the year-end coordination and then report the plan for the coming year, the news arrived on Wan Yi's desk.
"This Gaul is amazing, he actually thought of a plan to break the situation so quickly, and he actually caused trouble to the east, such a plan to leave Jiangdong in the east is actually from the hands of barbarians, I really want to see who this is, and he has such vision and knowledge, which is really not inferior to my people in Middle-earth." Gauss Ji put down the information and sighed: "The chief of staff handed over this information to the secret guard and asked him to send it to Chang'an urgently." ”
"Brother Si, I'm afraid that we really face an opponent this time. However, I would like to see if this Gaul would really have the courage to publicize the news of their alliance with the Tang Dynasty if we were to keep it out of the Tang Dynasty? Wan Yi watched with interest as Liu Xuan went out of the tent with the information, and smiled at Gao Siji, who was silent beside him, "Although their move can make Daqin and Da Shi jealous, but it is undoubtedly self-isolated, whether it is Da Qin or Da Shi, for this Gaul who dares to cross them and reach out to the east coast of the Mediterranean, they will be killed, and in order to avoid that we will really push the boat down the river, Da Qin will definitely speed up the pace to exterminate them." At this point, even Da Qin and Da Shi will reach a tacit understanding. Wan Yi obviously saw through all the doorways behind this matter at a glance, so he said leisurely, "Did Brother Si come up with any solutions?" ”
"If it is really as the marshal said, then unless the Gauls can really find a stronghold that can block the strangulation of Daqin and Da Shi for a long time, they are only afraid that Da Shi will dig a canal here, and Da Qin's side will destroy this enemy first." Gauss Ji nodded and said, "However, the place where the Gauls can go at this time is nothing more than the big island in the northwest, is it possible that they think that the Great Qin Navy will not bypass the Iberian Peninsula to chase and kill?" As for the Great Qin Navy to leave the Mediterranean, as long as the Great Cannibals are not stupid, they will not stop them. So I'm afraid that the Gauls had already begun to move at the same time as they sent their envoys. ”
"That's why Qin Kong's side directly transferred the information, and it didn't come with their Xuanying Guard's disposal plan." Wan Yi nodded and said, "So if you want to crack this kind of conspiracy, there is only one way, to break their rhythm in a short period of time, or to directly kill the person who plotted it." Wan Yi smiled: "I'm afraid that the dark guard is already executing this strategy." Qin Kong sent the news back urgently, that is, we must decide as quickly as possible whether to receive the Gallic envoy or not. As far as he is concerned, if the Gallic envoys do not cross the Tang Dynasty, their disposal is actually the same, but it is just to see the reaction of the Gauls. ”
"What about the big handsome?" Gao Siji nodded, obviously knowing Qin Kong very well, and said, "According to my meaning, since the disposal methods are the same, it is better to meet them." In this way, at least it will leave a life for the Gauls, so that they will not be completely wiped out by Great Qin. ”
"Brother Si immediately sent the opinions of our Western Expeditionary Army Headquarters to the Chang'an base camp to provide reference for the emperor and the General Staff, and then asked the deputy prime minister of the Northwest Xingyuan what specifications and methods he was going to use to receive these Gallic envoys. It doesn't make sense for them to go to Chang'an or not, if my estimate is good, the emperor will let them send them out directly after talking about it in the northwest. "When Wan Yi and Gauss began to write the opinions of the headquarters of the Western Expeditionary Army and submitted them to the Chang'an base camp, in fact, Qin Kong's side had also secretly entered the territory of Gaul. Today, Gaul has lost most of the land on the west coast of the Taisi continent, only their native Gaul native plain is still under their control, and a large area of land south to the shores of the Mediterranean Sea has basically been taken by the Great Qin Navy and the army. Its own strategic maneuver has been lost. At such a critical time, Qin Kong would also try his best to find allies to contain the two empires, one on the left and one on the right. And Qin Kong also learned the general history of Taixi's side during this time, Gaul has been occupying most of the western territory of the old Great Qin after the Great Qin Empire split and retreated to the east, and the power has always been very strong, even if the territorial pattern near the northwest coastline is self-reliant, but it has never been able to really break away from the control of the Gauls, and the so-called Frankish kingdom has always firmly controlled Gaul itself, and then maintained coercion in all directions. It can be said that if it weren't for the Great Cannibals taking the lead in reuniting the divided empire to stimulate the Great Qin Empire, which was almost in its twilight years, to break out again in the midst of the predicament and regain the lost territory and glory of the past, the country established by the Gauls would inevitably gradually recover all the regions in the western part of Taixi and become a huge force dominating the entire Taixi continent. It's just a pity that the current Tessie completely disrupted their original process because of the appearance of the Tang Dynasty, and the Gauls also lost their last chance. But even so, the vision and strategy shown by the Gauls in the face of the complex situation still impressed Qin Kong, and it can even be said that this kind of layout and planning is not inferior to his own people at all, even if it is Qin Kong's own place, he may not be able to have such means.
"Have you figured out all the information of the Gallic front generals and their layout and defense?" Qin Kong arrived at the city called Reims in the heart of Gaul. Qin Kong had no interest in this kind of city, which was ostensibly known as Taixi Dacheng but could only be regarded as a small town compared to the cities in the interior of the Tang Dynasty, and did not pay attention to the contradictions within the Gauls at this time, and directly asked the dark guard to prepare all the information and began to let the dragon group arrange the assassination of Louis, the king of the Frankish kingdom at this time, but Qin Kong just asked the dragon group to arrange it first, and he had to wait for his own order.
"Commander, there's another strange thing going on in Gaul, they've been shipping supplies and people from the west coast to the island of England in large quantities, and they've already negotiated with the Viking descendant, the Duchy of Normandy, and they're both relocating." The dark guard's words made Qin Kong suddenly understand everything, and said with a smile: "I said, this Gaul actually has such great courage to dare to fight back in a desperate situation, drag the Tang Dynasty out to attract the attention of the two empires, it turns out that they are really already migrating people and materials to England to settle down." You immediately spread this matter to Daqin's side, not only how Chang'an's side decides, but this kind of thing Daqin knows is a good thing for us. ”
Qin Kong's counterattack is naturally making waves on the side of Great Qin now, but at this time, the Frankish Kingdom led by Louis has indeed reached a critical point of survival, and in the face of Great Qin's superior forces, neither the army directly under the kingdom nor the coalition army composed of the major city-states and principalities in the northwest can be consumed for a long time. Moreover, in the face of the siege weapons such as artillery bought by the Tang Dynasty, even if they had reluctantly built a large number of fortifications in various cities, they were all broken by the other party one by one, and then advanced step by step. The knight legion and the heavy armor legion under his command were simply unable to resist in the face of the opponent's superior weapons. Chivalry has become less and less powerful in the face of such weapons. All this suffocated the Frankish ruler who founded the Louis dynasty in history. The east and west sides were targeted by the two empires at the same time, like a noose on top of himself and his kingdom, and as the Great Qin army advanced all over Paris little by little, he could no longer even see where the kingdom was headed. The crusade that he had worked so hard to plan before and spent a lot of money and manpower was actually broken by someone silently and directly, and Daqin did not move, not to mention, the great cannibal actually stopped abruptly, counting on the drastic changes in the religious holy city to attract the two empires to go to war in advance and avoid Gaul proper. Now he can only hit the idea of the Tang Empire, which is far away but affects the situation in Taixi all the time. The legendary kingdom of the Celestial Empire, full of gold, silk and porcelain, became Louis's last hope at this moment.
"The Tang Empire? The Celestial Empire? Louis was silent alone in his simple royal palace in Paris, and these new words brought back by the merchant made him vaguely feel that he had made the right bet this time. But what he didn't expect was that the Tang Empire, which he had hoped to play a key role in his plan, had already sent the most elite force to his nose at this moment, and directly regarded him as his own killing target. What he didn't know was that the last retreat he had planned for his kingdom had been discovered by the other party, and at this moment, he was sending people to the territory of Great Qin to carry out propaganda, so as to counter his previous plan. You know, for this last retreat, he made an agreement with his former enemies, the Vikings, and his cousin Anglo-Saxony, who had drifted away from the Gauls, on the island of England for half a year. Among them, it is an agreement that was reached by giving up a lot of power and now the suppression of the overall situation of Taixi.
