Chapter Twenty-Six: Preparing for a Rainy Day

Qiuzi, Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.

Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing, Li Siye, Duan Xiushi, and Bian Lingcheng gathered together, laughing loudly, and rejoicing, and the whole house was full of joy.

"Well played! Well played! ”

Gao Xianzhi sighed loudly, tapped his hands lightly, and made a crisp snapping sound: "This Li Changguo actually climbed the Eagle Sorrow Cliff, it's amazing!" Amazing! ”

"This battle is so good!" Bian Lingcheng's shrill voice sounded, still unpleasant, but it was full of joy: "One hundred thousand Tubo dogs were completely wiped out, and only two escaped." This has never been seen in the war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo for tens or hundreds of years! ”

"After this battle, the crisis of our Anxi Protectorate will be lifted." Li Siye's eyes were particularly bright, and he was full of praise for Li Changguo: "My brother is different!" ”

He straightened his chest and raised his head, looking proud, as if he had fought this battle.

"I originally thought that this battle would be fought for a long time, but I didn't expect that in less than a month, the 100,000 Tibetan army would be wiped out." Feng Changqing nodded heavily, with admiration on his face.

"It's a good fight, but we can't count on it."

Gao Xianzhi changed his words and shook his head slowly, quite worried: "Tubo Sun Boru's army no longer exists, Dafeichuan is empty, Your Majesty will definitely attack Shibao City at all costs, once Shibao City is captured, Datang will march into Dafeichuan." Defeat Dafeichuan, Datang is the sword point, Your Majesty will swallow the four Yi, will never miss the opportunity to pacify Tubo, the next will be a shocking war! ”

The crowd swept away their joy, their faces were solemn, and they nodded slightly.

"Although Tubo is not as strong as the Tang Dynasty, but there are high mountains and dense forests to rely on, advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, if the Tang Dynasty wants to pacify Tubo, it must do its best, otherwise it will be difficult to succeed." Gao Xianzhi then analyzed, and said: "In this way, the money and food sent by the Tang Dynasty to the Western Regions will be reduced, and if the Great Food seizes the opportunity to commit a large-scale attack, the Anxi Protectorate will be in danger!" ”

Whether it is national strength, science and technology, civilization, or the public, Tubo is far inferior to the Tang Dynasty, but Tubo can create great trouble for the Tang Dynasty, and the reason is that Tubo has high mountains and dense forests to rely on, and it can advance and retreat freely.

After the Tang Dynasty took Dafeichuan, the conditions for pacifying Tibet were further matured, but it was still a huge challenge, and the Tang Dynasty had to do everything in its power to pacify Tibet.

In this way, it will be impossible to take care of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and the pressure on the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate will increase sharply.

"In any case, our Anxi Protectorate must not become a burden to the Tang Dynasty, and we must resist the invasion of Dashi." Gao Xianzhi's right hand clenched into a fist, shook it fiercely, and said in a deep voice: "This is a good opportunity that has never been encountered in the eternals, and it must not be missed because of our Anxi Protectorate!" ”

"yes!" Bian Lingcheng nodded heavily and said: "I want to think that the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, the majestic material, the four empires, and the destruction of countless countries, but there is nothing to be done about the high mountains and dense forests where Tubo is located. If the Tang Dynasty pacifies Tibet, it can be called a grand event for the ages! ”

When these words were said to the hearts of the generals, they all nodded heavily and praised it greatly.

"Protect the capital." At this moment, a personal guard walked in quickly, his face was solemn, and he presented a military report to Gao Xianzhi.

Gao Xianzhi took it, unfolded it in three or two, and at a glance, the thick eyebrows were twisted together, and his face was distorted, and he was about to drip water.

"Duhu, what's going on?" Feng Changqing frowned and asked hurriedly.

"Abu Muslim set off a bloody storm, and hundreds of thousands of Dashi troops slaughtered in Kham and Anguo. Regardless of the women and children, the old and the weak, they all died under the butcher's knife! Although this happened in Central Asia, and it was not the Tang people who were slaughtered, Gao Xianzhi still felt a burst of palpitations, after all, it was the surname of tens of millions of people, as long as it was a person, it would be tight.

"Ahh

Such an atrocity was really unacceptable, and everyone couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamations. Although they are all accustomed to life and death, killing people like hemp, they are the ones who should be killed, and they really can't do anything about women, children, old and weak.

"Abu Muslim, you are preparing for the next invasion of the Anxi Protectorate, and you are so quick to do it!" Gao Xianzhi's brows twisted into Sichuan characters, and he muttered: "Abu Muslim's nose is smarter than a dog, and he has just finished the Hehuang War, and he is preparing to invade the Anxi Protectorate. ”

After a pause, he said: "Abu Muslim has been trying to invade the Ansi Protectorate all these years, but he has not been able to take action, the reason is that the infidels in their mouths have dragged him by the hand, if these so-called infidels are slaughtered, he will mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to attack, the situation is unprecedentedly serious, what do you think should be done?" ”

The Arab Empire has always aimed to invade China, but it has always been difficult to implement, and the reason for this is clear to all generals, that is, the "infidels" have dragged the hands and feet of the Arab Emperor, and there have been constant riots and rebellions, so that it cannot concentrate its forces against the Tang Dynasty.

If Abu Muslim had cleaned up these "infidels", he would have no worries and would have mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the Tang Dynasty.

The most important thing is that the current Tang Dynasty has to pacify Tibet as the first priority, and it is difficult to take care of the Anxi Protectorate, and once Abu Muslim makes a big attack, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The faces of the generals were unprecedentedly solemn, and they fell into deep thought, planning a way to deal with it.

Feng Changqing groaned for a while, raised his eyebrows, smiled on his face, and said, "Don't worry!" ”

"Huh?"

Although the Arab Empire has not yet invaded, the generals have already felt unprecedented pressure, Feng Changqing actually said lightly, the generals were really surprised, and their eyes were focused on him.

"General Feng, why do you say this?" Gao Xianzhi was puzzled.

"Tho Hu, you must know that Abu Muslim wants to purge the 'infidels', so why can't we support the 'infidels'?" Feng Changqing's eyes were particularly bright, and he pointed out: "These 'infidels' need reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty the most at the moment, although we can't send troops, we can give them armaments, money and food." ”

"Brilliant plan!" Gao Xianzhi's extremely smart character immediately understood: "Even, we can send a small army to deal with the Great Eclipse, not only can we understand the situation, but also let these 'infidels' and the Great Eclipse fight you to the death, let's be a fisherman, why not?" ”

Speaking of this, Gao Xianzhi paused slightly and said, "It would be better if we could get in touch with Shulek." However, Shulek was too deeply hidden to find him. ”

"Duhu, what's so difficult about this?" Feng Changqing laughed heartily and said, "Although Taizong refused to send troops to rescue Persia, he ordered someone to help Balus move east. There are countless members of the royal family, children of the clan, and remnants of the homeland who moved east with Balus. Didn't many of the Manichaeans follow suit? ”

Although Tang Taizong did not send troops to rescue the Persian Empire, he was very far-sighted and sent people to help Balus move eastward. Balus came to the Tang Dynasty with members of the royal family and became pawns of the Tang Dynasty, which repeatedly prepared to restore the Persian Empire in order to contain the Tang Dynasty. Although it failed, it left the seed.

"Smack!"

Gao Xianzhi slapped his forehead heavily and said loudly: "I actually forgot about this stubble!" ”
