Chapter 290: Countermeasures

The Turks were crippled, so crippled that they were almost irretrievable, and nearly 40,000 young people were all the people the Turks could mobilize, and in this long-planned sudden attack, more than 30,000 people were lost, which has affected the normal reproduction of the Turks.

"Mo Si Khan, it is unexpected for such a fact to happen, but you must strengthen the confidence of the clansmen, those few ironclad people are not some heavenly soldiers, he is the latest secret weapon of the Tang people, they have the mysterious wisdom of the Heavenly Bestowal Horse, the ancient moon sword script of the magic axe, it is not strange to create some novel things, but I am sure that those ironclad people are not invincible, but we need to know more about it."

Lu Dongzan deceived Mo Si with some lies that he didn't believe, the iron armor may not be terrible, but the behemoth that flew in the sky and released the burst flames was absolutely impossible for them to compete with, and a plan that was in the palm of his hand would be defeated by Datang with such a thunderous means, which made Mo Si's head mess like paste.

"Lu Dongzan, are you a fool to me? The Tang people can fly in the sky, just like eagles, we are just lambs on the ground, how to fight them, now that the youth of our clan is almost lost, what can we do to confront the Tang army, which will definitely retaliate next? You guys who can only hide in dark corners and use intrigues, since you have the mind to fight against the Tang people, you should gather your own army and fight with the Tang army in a generous way, and we Turks no longer have the ability to start a war. ”

Mo sobbed angrily and roared, regretting, the more he talked about the back, the more panicked, his subordinates, brothers, had died in this battle, these 40,000 young Zhuang people were since Li Jing's expedition to the west, the Turks had accumulated a little foundation for more than ten years, and now the first war was gone, he didn't know if he could develop tens of thousands of young men in his lifetime, if he couldn't stop the counterattack of the Tang army, maybe the Turks would disappear in the long river of history. "Mo Si, has your courage been scared by the Tang Army? The era of the Tang people's strength is about to pass, and you may not know that Li Shimin's two sons have each led a large army to fight in Chang'an City, which is bound to cause a series of civil wars in the Tang Dynasty, and this is also the only chance for us to seize the advantageous situation. You didn't fail, you just didn't catch or kill Li Shimin according to the original plan, everyone knows that you Turks can be all soldiers, and you have lost some of your youth, and women can also go on horses to fight, and they still have a certain combat power, and now, your opportunity has come, due to some of our operations, the Tang Anxi Protectorate did not send troops to rescue Li Shimin this time, and it should have been regarded as a rebel by Li Shimin, and these rebels will definitely not consume their strength on you, so, While the Tang rebels in the Anxi Protectorate are now in a panic, you can attack everywhere, rob the cities of the towns in the Western Regions, and plunder the people, I believe that your strength will be restored, and your strength will even surpass before. “

Gai Suwen is not like Lu Dongzan, he can do martial arts, he is better at military strategy, I have to say, his advice is still very reliable, Li Chengqian issued a military order to the Zhenxi Army to prohibit the transfer, even if the Turks began to plunder the Western Regions at this time, as long as they did not hit the garrison of the Anxi Protectorate, the Tang Army would not pay attention to them, and the Western Regions after ten years of operation in the Tang Dynasty, whether it was population, agriculture and animal husbandry and the economy have improved, even compared with the Central Plains in the early years of Zhenguan, it is not lost, which is thanks to Yanglin's Western Regions development strategy suggestions.

The Western Regions of this era are not so desolate as later generations, the vertical and horizontal lakes and abundant aquatic grasses can support many cattle and sheep, and there is a large amount of land suitable for farming, such as the original Khotan and other countries, rich in cotton and other crops, almost a pure agricultural country, the Tang Dynasty is in this era to manage the Western Regions, only then there is a prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty nearly a hundred years of wealth, Yanglin more than ten years ago suggested that the imperial court in the Western Regions to dig deep water lakes, store fresh water, plant trees, prevent soil erosion, even the edge of the desert area, It also specially sent some prisoners who were reformed through labor to plant trees to fight the sand, so the environment of the Western Regions at this time was more than 100 times better than that of later generations, as long as the water flowing down from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was retained, Yanglin could even imagine that it could become a place of green mountains and green waters in a hundred years.

Therefore, Gai Suwen's proposal is reliable, if the Turkic Department succeeds in looting even one-third of the towns in the Western Regions, their strength will more than double that of the original, at this moment Mo Si hesitated again, he wanted to gamble, and he was afraid of failure, because once he failed, he would be doomed.

Just as Lu Dongzan and Gai Suwen were sobbing silently in their hard work, on the spaceship, Yang Lin and Li Shimin also broke out into the biggest quarrel in history. "Father, Your Majesty, you must return to Chang'an immediately, the civil war has brought more than economic and demographic losses to the Tang Dynasty, it will be a disaster for future generations, continuous political instability, you have already had that once, your descendants will come that again, I believe that every generation of successors in the future will come to that time, how many Tang Dynasty children will die in vain, if you are not careful, maybe it will be taken by foreign races, so that the entire Tang Dynasty will fall apart, do you want to see such a situation?" Yang Lin almost roared.

After he, Ji Wutong and others returned to the spaceship, Li Shimin actually put forward the plan to postpone his return to Chang'an, and his strange reason was that the competition between Li Chengqian and Li Tai was indulged by him, and whoever wins the competition is qualified to become the next generation of emperors of the Tang Dynasty. Another reason is that he wants to slaughter the Turkic people who are barking at the wolf's heart and the dog to relieve the hatred in his heart, the Tang Dynasty has been too generous to the Hu people under his rule over the years, resulting in them who are full of food and drink actually dare to raise their dissent, which Li Shimin can't bear.

The front hall of the spaceship was silent, no one dared to stay in such an environment, Li Shimin was silent for a long time and then said: "Compared with the battle of Chang'an City, I value the entire Western Regions more, this time the Turks suddenly rebelled, it is not so simple, the Tubo people will definitely take the opportunity to enter the Western Regions, now the four towns of the Western Regions have more than two million people in the Tang Dynasty, I have been here for three years, and I have long regarded them as my own people, I can't give up on them, and Chang'an City is just a war with more than 100,000 troops, I believe that the previous arrangement can play a certain role, at least to keep the situation under control and not deteriorate, so what we need most at the moment is to rush to the Anxi Protectorate, seize the military power there, and dispel the plans of those who covet the Tang Dynasty. Later, I will return to Chang'an to solve the last bit of contradiction in our Datang, and finally wipe out all the wolves that were drawn out this time. “

Li Shimin clenched his fists fiercely, and seemed to be very confident that everything would go according to his expectations, but Yanglin didn't believe that his arrangement three years ago could make much of a difference, Li Shimin can regard all the Hu people as his own people, and this open-mindedness is worthy of Yanglin's admiration, but he dares to say that there is a reason for Wang Xiyue, but Yanglin is not a risk-taking person, what he said is also reasonable, Li Shimin ascended the throne as emperor by launching the Xuanwumen Incident, if one of Li Chengqian and Li Tai also ascended the throne as emperor because of an armed coup, then it is foreseeable that every generation of emperors after the Tang Dynasty will embark on the road to the throne in blood, and it is impossible to predict how many people will die. "Do you have to do that?"

When he came out, all Yang Lin thought about was to save people, he was not interested in political struggles or anything, Li Shimin's opinions he could respect or disrespect, because on this spaceship, it can be said that Yang Lin is in charge of Li Shimin's life and death, but Yang Lin is unwilling to fight against Li Shimin unless it is absolutely necessary. "I have decided, if you want to recognize me as the emperor, you will follow my decision, this is the best solution." Li Shimin finally looked firmly. "Now that you have decided, the son has no choice but to disobey, the son has promised the queen mother and Lizhi to bring you back from the Western Regions as soon as possible, so it is impossible for the spacecraft to stop, it will inevitably arrive in Chang'an within five days, and the problem of the Western Regions will be left to the son to solve! It shouldn't be worse than the result you personally handled, but Erchen wants to borrow someone from you, Wang Xiyue, with her, the problem in the Western Regions has been solved halfway, so if you don't dare to commit suicide by jumping from a height of three thousand meters, go back to Chang'an with peace of mind! “

Yang Lin said the last paragraph coldly, ignoring the angry Li Shimin, and turned to the command compartment of the spaceship. "Elder Ji Xuan, pass on my order, retrieve the performance of the armed tank, fully equip all ammunition and fuel, prepare for the airdrop, in addition, I will leave Ji Wutong to you, before returning to Chang'an, you are the only commander of the spaceship, you do not need to obey anyone, including the emperor, and your task is to send the emperor back to Chang'an safely"

When Yang Lin came, he didn't think about the trip to the Western Regions as simple, so he also brought a second-generation tank made from the underground base on the spaceship, with a sealing cloth made of sisal, the parachute technology has matured, and the tank loaded on this spaceship is equipped with a super-large parachute, which can ensure its smooth landing.

Receiving Yang Lin's order, Ji Xuan didn't feel strange. The tank loaded on the ship is a big guy that can carry six people, and the reserve warehouse is also very large, which can store food and water for six people for half a month, but now two pieces of iron armor have to be put on, so the food and water are only put for three days, Yang Lin plus the scorpion, and two crew members who are responsible for helping to pierce the armor, plus a Xiliang, five people can barely sit down, with Yang Lin's order issued, the crew began to get busy, and Yang Lin also walked to Wang Xiyue's resting room.
