Chapter Seventy-Two: The Great Food Goes East
The joy of the generals of this ...... disappeared for a moment, and they all sweated on their foreheads.
Crossing Jishi Mountain is a great good thing, and it will benefit the Tang Dynasty without harm. However, the impact on the Anxi Protectorate is unusually large, and the plans of the Anxi Protectorate are all disrupted, and they have to re-plan and redeploy, and everyone has a heavy heart.
"Tsugo, how to act?" The generals asked in unison.
"Tuk-tuk." Gao Xianzhi furrowed his brows, pursed his lips, his knuckles couldn't stop tapping the short case, and he was silent.
With such a big news, even with Gao Xianzhi's talent, it is only possible to plan a perfect plan in a short period of time, and contemplation is necessary. The generals pursed their lips tightly, not daring to make a sound, for fear of interrupting Gao Xianzhi's train of thought.
Time passed silently, and the atmosphere was unusually solemn.
If Gao Xianzhi didn't have a good way, the people of the Anxi Protectorate would be very sad. Originally, it was expected that if the Great Food Advance Eastward, it would inevitably be a large-scale attack, and no one could say how long the strength of the Anxi Protectorate could last. Moreover, the reinforcements of the Tang Dynasty could not be counted on for the time being, and Tubo was not broken, and it was difficult for the Tang Dynasty reinforcements to arrive.
It was in such a difficult situation that it was very difficult for the Anxi Protectorate to hold on and buy time for the Tang Dynasty.
Not to mention, the news came too suddenly, and it disrupted all the plans of the Anxi Protectorate, and it was difficult to imagine how difficult it was to start from scratch.
"Whew." I don't know how long it took, Gao Xianzhi spit out a breath of turbidity, the light in his eyes flashed, and he looked at the generals.
The generals were familiar with Gao Xianzhi and knew that he already had a way, so they were all in good spirits, staring at Gao Xianzhi with wide eyes.
"The fact that Datang crossed Jishi Mountain is both beneficial and disadvantageous to our Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate." Gao Xianzhi spoke slowly.
The generals pursed their lips and did not speak, but listened quietly. Whenever there is a critical juncture, Gao Xianzhi always has an unexpected plan, and everyone trusts Gao Xianzhi.
"Let's talk about the cheats first, it is to disrupt our plan, and we have to start over, which is not easy." Gao Xianzhi analyzed it and said: "The remobilization and deployment of the army, and the transportation of grain and grass...... They all have to be redeployed. ”
After a slight pause, he said, "As for the benefits, it is obvious. This news has disrupted our plans, and must have disrupted Abu? The plan of the Muslims, and more importantly, we got the news before him, we can plan earlier, wait until Abu? The Muslims got the news a little late. We're going to replan, Abu? Muslims also need to re-engineer, and we can take this opportunity to strike first. ”
"All protect the wise." The congregations will sing their praises.
Can you imagine, Abu? Muslims must have wanted to send troops to the Western Regions during the vicious war between the Tang Dynasty and Tibet, defeat them in one fell swoop, and even completely annihilate the Anxi Protectorate, and then take advantage of the Tang army to fight with Tibet. As long as you reach the land of Hehuang, Da Shi will point to Chang'an.
However, the Tang army has now crossed the Jishi Mountain and entered the hinterland of Tibet, which must be far beyond Abu? The Muslim expected that his plan would be disrupted and that he would have to start all over again.
At this point, the impact on Anzai Duhu and Dashi is the same.
The difference is that the Anxi Duhufu got the news before the big food, and the time difference was about ten days. There is a buffer time of more than ten days, which is enough for Gao Xianzhi to do a lot of things.
"Abu? The Muslims took the stone country, thinking that they had the advantage, and he wanted to be beautiful. The reason why I let it go is to capture Shiguo when he sends troops and disrupt his plans. Now, his plans have all been messed up, and we will take the opportunity to send troops to the country of Shi to capture the country of stone in one fell swoop, so that Abu? Muslims are in chaos. Gao Xianzhi's knuckles slammed heavily on the short case, his eyebrows lifted, like a sharp sword unsheathed, and he ordered loudly: "Gather the army and send troops to Shiguo!" ”
"Send troops to the stone country." The crowd will be overjoyed.
"Then send an order to Feng Changqing, asking him to work with Shulek to disturb the heavy grain and grass of the Great Food and destroy it as much as possible." Gao Xianzhi ordered again.
Feng Changqing went to see Shulek and hadn't turned around yet, according to the original plan, Feng Changqing had enough time to come back, but now it was obviously too late, it was better to let him be behind the enemy and deal with the grain and grass of the big food.
Under an order, the army assembled, and under the leadership of Gao Xianzhi, it quickly marched westward and went straight to Shiguo.
xxxxxxxxx Bukhara, Abu? The handsome house of the Muslims.
Abu? The Muslim frowned, walked around, and asked in a deep voice, "There is no news from Shulek yet?" ”
"My lord, there is no news of Shulek yet."
"Shulek, where the hell is he hiding?" Abu? Muslims' brows tightened.
Schulek is the leader of the Manichaean religion, and although his strength is not as good as before, he should not be underestimated. In particular, Manichaeism is a great religion for hundreds of years, and there are many believers, which is to say that it will be destroyed, once his army marches eastward, Shulek will come out again to make a disturbance and disturb his rear, Abu? Muslims will not be able to eat and walk around.
You must know that the last prince of the Persian Empire, Balus, died of old age in Chang'an, and the exiles of the Persian Empire had an extremely close connection with the Tang Dynasty. At the time of the eastward advance of the Great Eclipse, it was normal for Shulek to support the Tang army.
Besides, Abu? The Muslims marched eastward, and the rear was empty, and it was the opportunity that Shulek had been waiting for, how could he not come out and make trouble?
Therefore, before the big food goes east, Shulek can be cleaned up, so as to avoid future troubles.
"My lord, there is a group of Tang people who came west in the winter, and finally disappeared."
"Hmm." Abu? The Muslim raised his eyebrows, like a sharp sword out of the sheath, snorted coldly, and said: "They are really embarrassed and colluded together." When the Tang people came west, they must have consulted with Shulek on how to disturb our rear. ”
Abu? What a genius the Muslims are, when their thoughts turned, they figured it out, muttered for a while, and gave a loud order: "Find the Tang people and find Shulek as soon as possible." ”
"Obey." The generals commanded in unison.
"Spring is coming, the ice and snow are about to melt, and the war between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty is about to break out." Abu? The Muslim glanced at the generals and said in a deep voice: "Our time is running out, and if we do not have troops on the land of the river after the victory and defeat of the great war between the two countries, then our plan will fail." ”
After a slight pause, his voice turned higher, and he said in a sneering tone: "I want that Alexander, and I want to hit China, but I hit in the wrong direction and hit India." We will not repeat the mistakes of the past, and we must fight before the two countries can decide the winner. In that case, we will point to Chang'an, and China will be in our pocket. ”
"Your Excellency is wise." The crowd will sing in unison.
"The two countries will lose in the big battle in Dafeichuan, and the terrain of Dafeichuan will be favorable to the Tang Dynasty, and the Tubo and Tang armies will be defeated without a doubt." Abu? The Muslims smiled coldly: "If we can rush to the land of Hehuang before the two countries divide the victory, we can not only cut off the retreat of the Tang army and threaten Chang'an, but also deal a fatal blow to Tibet and take the two countries in one battle." ”
Tubo and Dashi are an alliance to deal with the Tang Dynasty together, but if there is a chance, Abu? The Muslims will never give up on the conquest of Tibet.
What is an ally? Allies are used to block swords and arrows. Once you have used it, you should conquer it.
If his cunning succeeds, not only will the Tang Dynasty be in flames, but even Tubo may also be conquered by Dashi.
"Haha. Grown-up clever plan. The generals were very happy, laughing very comfortably, leaning forward and back.
"My lord, it's a big deal, it's a big deal." Just when he was rejoicing, he saw Ziad coming in a hurry, with a shocked look on his face and cold sweat on his forehead.
Ziad is known for his boldness, so he can't help but break out in a cold sweat, there must be something big happening, and such a big event must be earth-shattering, the generals are very curious, looking at Ziade.
"Hmm." Abu? The Muslims were surprised and asked in a deep voice: "What is the alarm?" ”
Although Ziyad is a masterpiece of a generation, he has no interest in Abu? The Muslims were frightened from the bottom of their hearts, and when they heard this, they hurriedly said: "My lord, the Tang army has crossed the Jishi Mountain. ”
"The Tang army has crossed Jishi Mountain, what are you yelling about this big fart?" Abu? The Muslims did not care, and waved their hands lightly.
"What? Did the Tang army cross the Stone Mountain? "Abu? As if the asshole had been poked, the Muslims jumped up and down in shock.
He is the kind of character who collapses in front of Mount Tai and his color does not change, so it is not easy to shock him, but at this time he is really shocked, and his eyes are as wide as copper bells, and his face is incredulous.
How difficult it is to fight Jishi Mountain, he has studied the national conditions of the Tang Dynasty, and he will not know, and suddenly he woke up, and the shock is indescribable.
"Jishi Mountain is extremely difficult to fight, China's famous emperors Qin Shi Huang and Han Wu Yanjing have not been defeated, how can Li Longji succeed? Are you lying about the military? "Abu? The Muslims rebuked.
Ziad made a sudden attack and hurriedly said: "My lord, I don't believe in this matter, but I don't dare not believe it or report it when the military information is delivered one after another." "Hurriedly put the military report in his hand.
Abu? The Muslims grabbed it, only to see a thick handful, a dozen military reports, the content of which was the same: the Tang army had crossed the stone mountain.
"This ......" Abu? Muslims' eyes widened, their lips squirmed, and they couldn't speak for a long time.
Believe it or not, there are so many military newspapers, all of which are the same news, and there can be no mistake. It's unbelievable, Abu? Muslim thoughts are racing, judging the credible surname of the military newspaper.
"To believe or not to believe?" Abu? It is the first time in his life that a Muslim who is so judgmental has hesitated and is unable to decide.
"Alexander led an army of 30,000 to the east for several years and destroyed dozens of countries, which is hard to believe, but it is a historical fact. In the same way, although Jishi Mountain is difficult to fight, as long as the method is appropriate, it may not be impossible to fight down, so it seems that this matter is credible. "Abu? The Muslims pondered for a while, and finally came to the conclusion that the Tang Dynasty had really laid down the stone mountain.
"Buzz." Abu? As if struck by lightning, the Muslims staggered and almost fell, shouting: "Not good! ”
A person with a quick mind immediately thought of how much this news would have an impact on his plan, and disrupted all his plans, the consequences of which were too serious.
