Chapter 34: Nature (Thank you Tiger Whip for another 10,000-dollar reward!) ﹞
This is not simply to say that the Turks or a certain tribe have been brought to an end, but the entire steppe can be brought together, and the power of the entire steppe can be put aside from the powerful Turkic nation, as well as Tuyuhun and Xue Yantuo.
These tribes are the most powerful tribes in the entire grassland, except for the Turks, if the Tang Dynasty faces any of these tribes alone, it will not be a problem.
But if you face these tribes at the same time, it is equivalent to that the Tang Dynasty is dealing with a Turkic in its heyday, and if one is not good, it will be a catastrophe.
It is precisely because of this that from the moment Jieli was captured, the countermeasure discussed in the Ganlu Palace was to implement a policy of gentleness on the current grassland and adopt a policy of appeasement to settle the border.
In this way, Datang can maintain its existing advantages in this Northern Expedition and further expand Datang's influence.
It's just that he didn't expect this strategy to be strongly resisted by Zhao Chen, and even did not hesitate to use the overall situation of Mobei to oppose this strategy!
"Chang'an Hou refers to that cannon?" After hearing this, Du Ruyan was slightly shocked, and suddenly took a deep breath, looked directly at Zhao Chen, and asked thoughtfully.
In the first battle of Evil Yang Ridge, the cannon that Zhao Chen took out and the power of one person simply flattened the entire Evil Yang Ridge, and then the 3,000 army led by Li Jing was able to break through the Turkic camp of Evil Yang Ridge with effortless effort.
This matter is not only widely publicized in the Sixth Army of the Northern Expedition, but also Chang'an is also shaken, but what is the specific matter of the artillery, and the people who can see it. There are only Li Jing and three thousand fine horses.
Others, including Du Ruhui. No matter how curious he is, Zhao Chen is still cold. No matter how curious he was, he had to forcibly suppress his curiosity.
Now, when Du Ruhui heard Zhao Chen say that he could provide a weapon that would destroy the entire grassland, Du Ruhui's first thought was the wonderful cannon in the battle of Evil Yang Ridge.
“… More than! When Zhao Chen heard this, his eyes suddenly looked at the leaky gap at the door of the room. A ray of sunshine revealed in, his expression hesitated slightly, and after a while, his eyes suddenly looked at Du Ruhui in front of him and asked: "Du Xiang thinks that if one day, our army of the Tang Dynasty can be owned by everyone... Well, what will happen to a weapon like a cannon? ”
"Everyone?" Du Ruhui heard this. His brows couldn't help frowning slightly, as if he was a little suspicious of Zhao Chen's words, he looked at Zhao Chen and asked, "Is it possible?" ”
The battle of Evil Yang Ridge has already made everyone see the powerful power of the cannon. In Du Ruhui's view, if a large army has such a cannon. It's already quite powerful, but now Zhao Chen said that it can be popularized to everyone in the army.
Just imagine it in your mind. The imaginary power and terrifyingness make people gasp. If it can really be realized, then such an army is not described as terrible, perhaps, it is correct to describe it as terrifying.
"Anything is possible!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he chuckled at Du Ruhui and said, "Since I said yes, then I definitely wasn't joking with Du Xiang about this!" ”
As soon as Zhao Chen's words came out, Du Ruhui fell silent for a while, and glanced at Zhao Chen from time to time, with a thoughtful look in it, as if he was thinking about something.
"In that case!" The room was silent for a while, and after a long time, Du Ruhui took a long breath, looked at Zhao Chen with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Then in that case, why didn't the Marquis of Chang'an tell Your Majesty about this?" ”
According to Zhao Chen's statement, the Tang army, once equipped with such a terrible weapon, will become quite terrifying.
But since this is the case, Du Ruhui can't figure out why Zhao Chen didn't tell His Majesty about this, and then let His Majesty change his attitude towards the grassland; On the other hand, what if you want to act against Your Majesty in such a drastic way and provoke Your Majesty?
No time!
When Zhao Chen heard this, he couldn't help but take a long breath, he wanted to say this to Du Ruhui, but when the words came to his mouth, he smiled bitterly at Du Ruhui.
These things, originally in his plan, were realized step by step after the military academy was built, and it was a bit too hasty.
For example, the matter of the musket did not make Li Er think that it was a sharp weapon that could replace the bow and crossbow at the beginning.
However, now there is not enough time, he needs time, and he needs to give everything that should be given to Datang as soon as possible in the shortest possible time, preferably within a year, so that Datang has everything.
"Du Xiang thinks that if I say this, will Your Majesty change his strategy?" Zhao Chen smiled bitterly, and finally, his eyes stared at Du Ruhui, and asked with a smile.
This is obviously impossible!
As the ruler of the empire, everything must be safe first, so even if Zhao Chen said that he could have something very powerful, which could make the army of the Tang Dynasty extremely powerful and terrifying, Li Er would not change his appeasement policy towards the grassland.
Zhao Chen knew this in his heart, and Du Ruhui also knew in his heart that the only way for Li Er to change his mind was unless Zhao Chen could immediately equip the Tang Dynasty army now.
Only after he really shows enough ability will Li Er really change his strategy, otherwise, he will never take risks because of things he hasn't seen yet.
"Then why do you want to do it now?" Du Ruhui listened to Zhao Chen's words, but did not answer Zhao Chen's words directly, but looked at Zhao Chen in confusion and said: "There is nothing wrong with Your Majesty's strategy, now it can only be based on stability, since Chang'an Hou has this sharp weapon, he can slowly figure it out, wouldn't it be better?" ”
"I'm afraid that the resistance at that time was the strongest!" When Zhao Chen heard Du Ruhui's words, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, looked at Du Ruhui and said: "Now is the right time, after saving this opportunity, if you want to return to the original point, you have to pay more energy!" ”
History proves that Zhao Chen knows these neighbors of Datang too well, one by one, they are wolves, even if you give more benefits, when it is time to show your fangs, you will not hesitate, and you will immediately bite at your most vulnerable soft flesh.
So. Once Datang takes a step back today, then continue to back down in the future. As for saying that the day Khan, well. Zhao Chen could see that except for an honorific title, he didn't see any other benefits at all.
Enjoying the honorific title of Tian Khan, letting these neighbors continue to grow, then the final result of Datang can only be Mr. Dongguo!
Du Ruhui came this time to persuade Zhao Chen, but now looking at Zhao Chen's attitude, Du Ruhui originally prepared a statement. In the end, he didn't say a word.
"What if, Your Majesty, still doesn't take your opinion?" After a long time, Du Ruhui suddenly stood up, and the person who was about to leave stopped when he walked to the door, turned around and frowned at Zhao Chen behind him, and asked curiously: "Could it be that you really plan to disobey Your Majesty's will and go back to Chang'an?" ”
"......," Zhao Chen said. hesitated slightly, and then, facing Du Ruhui's curious gaze, he smiled. said: "Whether Your Majesty agrees or disagrees this time, I will go back to Chang'an after a while!" ”
Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Du Ruhui stood at the door. was slightly stunned, and suddenly smiled helplessly at Zhao Chen. Turning around and sighing, he walked towards Li Jing's Chinese military tent.
"Didn't make sense?" In the big tent of the Chinese army. At this moment, Li Jing and the old lieutenant Chi Gong were there, and when they saw Du Ruhui coming in with an ugly face, Li Jing looked at Du Ruhui and asked.
"I can't figure out why I'm so stubborn all of a sudden!" When Du Ruyan heard this, he raised his head and sighed, and then sat down opposite Li Jing, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "The old man doesn't know him anymore!" ”
When Du Ruhui's words fell, the old lieutenant Chi Gong on the side looked thoughtful, and then, his eyes suddenly looked at Li Jing, frowned and asked, "When did this kid become like this?" ”
“… It was when I found out that Jieli was treated well by the old man! Li Jing also frowned, and when he heard the words of the old lieutenant Chi Gong, he almost didn't think about it, and said in a deep voice: "At that time, Chang'an Hou seemed to be in a great mood!" ”
"It's not going to be just that!" Du Ruhui listened to the words of Li Jing and the old lieutenant Chi Gong, stroked the beard under his chin, shook his head, and vetoed: "When the old man was talking to Chang'anhou, he felt a sense of urgency from his tone!" ”
"Urgent?" When Li Jing heard Du Ruhui's words, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, frowned and looked at Du Ruhui, looking a little surprised.
However, when the old lieutenant Chi Gong on the side heard Du Ruhui's words, he raised his head in surprise and looked at Du Ruhui, as if he had something to say.
It's just that just when the old lieutenant Chi Gong was about to speak, a hundred horsemen outside suddenly asked to see Li Jing, but it was the hundred horsemen who were in charge of the telegraph in the Chinese army.
The hundred horsemen asked to see him, that is, there was an urgent military matter, and after Li Jing heard this, he immediately let the hundred horsemen enter the account.
However, when the Baiqi came in and handed Li Jing a telegram he had just received, Li Jing was slightly stunned when he looked at the contents of the telegram.
"What's wrong?" Du Ruhui came over this time, and he didn't have any real power, and when he saw Li Jing's obviously stunned expression, he sat there, glanced at the old lieutenant Chi Gong, and didn't speak.
However, the old lieutenant Chi Gong, as the deputy commander of the Middle Route Army, looked at Li Jing at this time, frowned, looked at Li Jing and asked.
"The Datong Army sent an urgent report!" When Li Jing heard the words of the old lieutenant Chi Gong, he did not avoid Du Ruhui, raised his head, a fierce color flashed in his eyes, looked at the old lieutenant Chi Gong and said: "Zhang Baoxiang found that Xue Yantuo had about 3,000 men and horses, and appeared in the Baidao area, and his whereabouts are unknown for the time being!" ”
"Xue Yantuo?" When the old lieutenant Chi Gong heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then looked at Li Jing and Du Ruhui incomprehensibly: "Why did Xue Yantuo appear here at this time?" ”
This time the Tang Dynasty's Northern Expedition to the Turks, the defensive forces were all focused on defending against the Turks and several other tribes of the Turks, and they did not defend against Xue Yantuo and Tuyuhun at all.
First, it is natural that these two tribes have the same interests of Datang, and they will naturally not be stupid enough to stop Datang's Northern Expedition at this time.
Second, it is natural that Datang greeted in advance, and at this time, in the case of interests and alliances, it will naturally not make a move.
However, at this time, Xue Yantuo suddenly sent three thousand men and horses to suddenly appear near the White Road, which was a little incomprehensible.
"Let's see, what the hell are they going to do!" Li Jing immediately ordered to send information to the Datong Army, and he must monitor his every move, and waited until the order was finished, then he looked at the few people in the tent and said.
"Hey!" Du Ruhui sat there, never spoke, until this moment, then looked at Li Jing and the old lieutenant Chi Gong and said: "Perhaps, Chang'an Hou has a sentence that is not wrong, it is by nature!" (To be continued.) )
