Chapter 516: Race to be the first
At the beginning of the discussion, the meeting was noisy, first of all, the prince of the Bohai State Da Ming Jun and the Khitan Yelan Khan were fighting for leadership as usual, Da Ming Jun spoke with a gun and a stick, sarcastically saying that Yelan Khan was a savage, a barbarian, saying that this person was disloyal, obviously canonized by the Tang Dynasty, but anti-Tang.

Yelan Khan was furious and asked you why Bohai was not sealed by the Tang Dynasty. Da Mingjun said that they had a deep hatred with Datang, and Datang sent assassins to assassinate the lord of Bohai, and it was Datang who was sorry for them Bohai people first, which was a legitimate way to raise troops and avenge the monarch's father.
Yelan Khan sneered, saying that how could Datang assassinate your king for no reason, it was clearly Da Qianhuang who killed his brother and pushed it to Datang, Da Qianhuang is really not a son of man, and he is ashamed to be with this person.
Da Mingjun was furious when he heard it, satirizing the Khitan people Ru Mao drinking blood, there is no culture at all, saying that Bohai is a big country, how beautiful Wujing is, Shangjing is no less than any city in the Tang Dynasty, stabbing Yelan Khan jumped feet, Da Mingjun went to Chang'an to stay and learned, and learned well, scolding people that is without a trace of fireworks, without a little dirty words, so angry that Yelan Khan pulled out a knife on the spot, and was going to kill Da Mingjun.
Da Mingjun also has guards, he also learns swords, and immediately wants to fight back, his guards draw their swords, Yelan Khan's guards also draw swords, and the two sides immediately fall into a state of saber rattling, Zhou Pan watched the play, stood up to mediate, he was used to it, and waited until both sides drew their swords, then stood up to mediate, and gave both sides a step down.
This is not the first time that the two sides have fought like this, and everyone wants to get the most benefits. It's best to get the other party in the way and Tang Jun fight to the death, and then pick peaches by yourself.
The Khitans coveted the wealth of the Bohai people, and Da Mingjun was not wrong at all, they were much behind the Bohai Kingdom. Shangjing, Yelan Khan has also been there, how not to envy. The Bohai people also covet the land of the Khitans. This time against Tang, they don't expect much to gain.
The best thing is to grab a handful, grab more craftsmen and people to go back, and fill the Bohai Kingdom. As for Datang's revenge, Da Qianhuang is not a fool, if Datang retaliates, it's very simple, if Zhou Pan can withstand it, then don't worry.
If he couldn't stand it, he sold Zhou Pan, saying that it was all his fault, and then sent a son to Jingshi to ask for guilt, and by the way, he was a hostage. Datang will forgive them. After all, the army is on an expedition, and the army is mobilized. Datang has never liked it, unless it is really a big threat.
Again, now Datang is not a prosperous Tang Dynasty, if Tianbao had a prosperous Tang Dynasty before, he really has to think about it more. However, after Tianbao...
On this trip, Da Qianhuang made it very clear to Da Mingjun that they were already invincible when they made two plans. Even if they are defeated, with Ma Yuanwu, the inverted ghost, and Zhou Pan, the scapegoat, Datang will not mobilize the people and raise troops to crusade against them. After all, even the three towns of Hebei were unable to crusade at the beginning, let alone come to crusade against the distant Bohai Kingdom.
Prepare with both hands, the first hand, it is best to trap the Khitans, the Khitans will lose their strength, and they can annex the Khitan tribes and land.
In fact, Da Qianhuang is very jealous of the Khitans, the strength of the Khitans has increased a lot in the past ten years, and they have learned a lot of techniques from the Tang Dynasty, whether it is animal husbandry or farming, which has made the Khitans improve a lot.
Although the Khitan people are still a tribal system, the progress of productivity makes Da Qianhuang very worried. If the Khitans continue to progress like this, one day another British lord will appear, unify the Khitans, and expand outward. Then the Bohai State will definitely bear the brunt.
I have to say that Da Qianhuang is very predictable. He found out so early that the Khitans had to change, and he was not wrong, and in a few decades, the Khitans would really destroy the Bohai Kingdom.
Second-hand preparation, if you can't trap the Khitans, then you can also pit and kill the next De Wei, or other Yan tribes in the back, you can also consider it. It's just that these small tribes are not stupid.
Shan Xi and Murowei, as well as the Shen Ya, as well as some small tribes, have long reached a union, and everyone advances and retreats together. Everyone knows that the Bohai Kingdom is planning to do so, and the Khitans don't want to.
Several small tribes have reached a union, and they have come to rob and get, as long as they have benefited. Bad don't. If you want to fight a hard battle, no matter who you send, you won't be able to fight. Let these two families go on their own, whoever is on can take the big head, and they will divide the small head. You can even don't take it, anyway, Datang is rich, and grabbing some small villages is enough for them.
They also have some gains, and many villages in Youzhou have been harmed by them. Make up your mind even more, that is, if you don't come out, you will come out first. Secretly, the tribes of the Yan Tatar colluded with the Khitan and eye-browled with the Khitan. Shanxi threw himself into the Bohai Sea.
Look, who said that a weak country has no diplomacy, the weaker it is, the more it needs diplomacy. These tribes also made the Chinese far and close to attack, and learned thoroughly, and the Khitans were not close to the Ya tribes. The Shanxi people are also separated from the Bohai Sea by a little distance. Not afraid of what they will do to each other at all.
As a result, things froze like this, Da Mingjun found that Ye Lan was not stupid, since the first goal could not be achieved, then he wanted to unite with him and jointly complete the second goal, and both sides took what they needed. The Bohai State pit those Ya tribes to death, and the Khitan people pit to death the mountain Xi.
But the small tribes had to unite, and they didn't give them a chance at all, plus they knew that several small tribes had secretly taken refuge in their rivals, and both parties were worried about a fire in the backyard, so they had to make efforts to fight each other to the death, and as a result, they couldn't do anything until now.
Frozen under Youzhou City, everything that can be grabbed is almost grabbed, and then consume Youzhou soldier food, when the time comes, everyone will not starve to death, but also go home. In this way, it is a big loss. Not only did he offend Datang, but he didn't get any benefits, so he ran empty.
The Shanxi tribe, some people proposed, simply bypass the Tang army in front, go around the major bends, and go to the Hetao area, which is also quite rich. But in this way, it will be far away, Da Mingjun is unwilling, and the tribes of the Yan Ya are not willing, so they will have to take a long detour, not to mention, and when the time comes, they will have to pass through other people's places on the way back.
Don't let them go to Datang for a long time, and turn it into a transport brigade, even with people and horses, and everything will be robbed by those people. The tribes are not stupid, don't look at the current Shanxi and they are good, when the time comes, it will definitely be faster than turning the table now.
Then, the two sides were at a stalemate for two days, arguing. Li Chen was worried that the situation did not happen, and the Khitan had the intention to do it himself and bypass Youzhou by himself. But first, the strength is insufficient, and secondly, this detour can be detoured far, and the area east of the river is not good, and it is not easy to go around to the Hetao? Unless those party members are willing to oppose Tang together.
But I didn't contact it beforehand, so I didn't run all the way, but I was beaten back. At that time, there was no substitute for the dead ghosts. United Shan Xi? Shanxi don't, what if you get caught. Lei Feng will be born, and it will take another thousand years.
Then it came, the Tang court's army, the emperor's pro-army, and the Shence army were going to go out to get the news, Zhou Pan was overjoyed, there was no need to fight, as long as the Shence army was defeated, the Tang army in front of it would definitely collapse, and there was no need to detour. Then, a few days ago, it was confirmed that the Shence Army had arrived, and even held a barbecue conference on the opposite side for three consecutive days.
This is to kill them, although they raise cattle and sheep, and eat more meat than the Han people, but how can there be so many cattle and sheep for them to eat. Usually I drink cow and goat's milk. After arriving in Youzhou, I ate less meat, and now I see that Datang is so rich, and I have held a three-day ditch fire conference in a row, and the smell of meat has spread for hundreds of miles, that envy, jealousy, and hatred.
At that moment, I immediately decided to cross the river. Defeat the Tang army on the opposite side, rob them of their food, and then go deep into the Tang Dynasty and enjoy it. Finally, today, there was another quarrel over who would cross the river first to die. After arguing for a long time, there was no result, and they broke up unhappily.
In fact, according to this view, maybe they will be consumed to death. Li Chen estimated that the worst situation did not appear, but Li Chen would never let go of this opportunity to teach those white-eyed wolves who were not familiar with it, and he had no intention of spending it at all.
At the end of the meeting, Zhou Pan was very worried, the Shence Army came, but the problem was still not solved, who was in charge? Suddenly, he missed Ma Yuanwu a little, although this eunuch looked annoying, but he still had some ability, if he was still there, maybe he wouldn't be so stiff today. But who would have thought that the Bohai people would actually kill him.
He was so worried that he took advantage of his father's serious illness and put him under semi-house arrest. What is semi-house arrest means that only some medical workers and subordinates are allowed to contact him, and he is also told not to reveal the habits of the outside world. His father was really sick and relieved to let him deal with it, as a result, he did this, if these alien coalition troops finally retreated, his whole family would die, not to mention the Tang army, the people of Youzhou could eat him alive.
However, his sorrow did not last long, and the next day, as soon as he got up, he received an urgent report that there was an abnormal movement in the Tang army. 'Abnormal movement? What is the Divine Army going to do? Zhou Pan flashed a thought that he couldn't even think of, and he was overjoyed, could it be that the Tang Army was going to take the initiative to march? He immediately asked the spies to go back and investigate.
Soon there was further news that the Tang army was erecting a pontoon bridge, and this next week Pan was really happy to fall from the sky. hurriedly wanted to gather all the tribes to discuss the matter, but he didn't need to report it, these people knew that the Tang army was going to cross the river, and it was still the Shence Army that was the vanguard.
Now, the argument began again. Fight for what? This time, they are no longer fighting to let the other party die, but fighting for who will fight the army. A few days ago, the gods came to the army, and their eyes were hot, the whole army was heavily armoured, and they could really blind their dog's eyes in the sun.
Life on the grassland is hard, materials are not easy to come by, and the tribal residents of an iron pot can treat him as a family heirloom and cherish it. The steppe does not produce, it is not that there are no blacksmiths, but there is not much iron, only iron and blacksmiths, all of whom have been recruited to build weapons.
And if the grassland is not produced, it will naturally only be exploited by Tang merchants, and if you don't slaughter you, I'm sorry for you. Therefore, if you can come to Datang, even if it is a formality, it is worth it.
Now, they regard the army that crosses the river as a fat sheep. It is said that this army was not long established, and it was new from top to bottom, but it was outrageously well equipped. The whole army is armored, and even the Tang army can't do this, and there are many green infantry or crossbows and archers in the Tang army, and they don't have armor. But this army is so extravagant that the whole army is clothed in armor, and it is simply an active iron mine.
As for the Shence Army's defeat of Tibet, the situation in Tibet in recent years, everyone has slowly figured it out. They believed that the Tang court had exaggerated elements, exaggerated the achievements of the Shence army, and that Tibet was vulnerable. So I didn't pay attention to it at all.
Of course, these are what Ma Yuanwu told them at the beginning, and Zhou Pan also told them so. Coupled with the limited information they received from the newspapers, they were blinded. As for the shocking entrance to the city, it was also said by Ma Yuanwu and Zhou Pan that it was borrowed from other armies to get elite soldiers.
said that the people of Chang'an were deceived, the Chang'an army was not war-like, and the training was sparse, and the people of Chang'an had never seen what elite soldiers were. So it was easily deceived. And they believed it. So, everyone is vying to dig this mobile iron ore.
As long as they snatch up the equipment on them, and when the time comes, they will be equipped with fast horses and warriors of our clan, and they will definitely gain more from entering Kou Datang, even if they go back to their homes now, with these equipment, the harvest will not be shallow. Therefore, each one competes to be the first, and his face is red.
Everyone is scolding others, saying that the other party is vulnerable, and going up will only bring food to others. It is still necessary to rely on the warriors of our own clan to solve the Tang Army. Not to mention that the Khitans and the Bohai people are fighting, and even reaching an alliance with Shanxi, Murowei and Yan are all hyped up, and no one has thought of any alliance.
Zhou Pan was in a good mood, if there was such a dispute a few days ago, the Tang army on the other side of the river would have been wiped out a long time ago, thank you for the stupidity of the Shence army. I don't know who the Lord will be, but he can't wait to die.
Or maybe it was the dog emperor who forced it? Poor people, when you are someone's dog, how can you be the master of your own house. He was thinking in his heart whether to add it as well, and those equipment looked good, but he still forgot it, and if he jumped in again, the scene would be even more chaotic.
He smiled and watched these generals quarrel, and thought of something else, he depicted a silent veteran on the left, he was Zhang Zhongzhi, the commander of the Yongtai army Zhang Zhongzhi, at the beginning he and his brothers, with a wait-and-see attitude, only passive resistance to the Tang army that came to crusade.
Later, when he heard that the 300,000 foreign coalition troops were attacking Youzhou, his brother Zhang Zhongbin surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Zhang Zhongzhi led his army to surrender to him on the condition that he retain his own army. He agreed.
However, he promised on his lips, but he was not happy in his heart, but he was forced to be helpless at the beginning. Now, hehe, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Pan's mouth, when Tang Jun is defeated, it will be his death, maybe even his brother Zhang Zhongbin will not be able to escape death.
Zhang Zhongzhi didn't say a word, probably because he also felt that his death was coming, and even his brother's death was approaching. Hmph, I made your brothers proud at the beginning, but now I will pay it back.
Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked like a few people were arguing, almost, he was about to draw his knife again, hehe, when the river was old for many days, now it was time for him to be majestic. Who should he let go? It's better to wait and find them in private, see who is willing to give them some benefits, and then support who they will attack.
However, at this moment, the situation in the field changed abruptly, and he was dumbfounded.
