Chapter 717: Vertical and Horizontal

Li Hao returned Tuyuhun's army to Liang Yi, and without even bringing his own Linghui army, he hurriedly returned to the Li Kingdom.

After a month of exterminating Tibet, Li Hao made another miraculous feat, and the Li family was naturally greatly encouraged, and they were ready to celebrate their success.

It's just that this time Li Hao was not in the mood to celebrate the victory with the people, and after a simple glass of wine, he hurriedly returned to her mother's home, Tang Chang'an, with Li Mingda.

Tart Yanyan stayed in the Li kingdom to appease the people, and told them about the evil deeds that the Volga Khanate had done in the Turkic and Tuyuhun lands a month earlier. The Tibetans are nothing more than accomplices in this matter, and the real culprits are still provoking the Turkic border.

When the people heard this, they were furious, and they also understood why Li Hao came and went in a hurry. The Volga Khanate is huge, and it may be difficult for the Li Kingdom to compete with it alone, but Li Hao has been tired all the way but has no intention of resting, and he is running for the people of the Li Kingdom.

A day later, the Tang Chang'an Palace.

Li Hao told Li Shimin everything he had seen and heard in the past few months.

After listening to all the process, Li Shimin was also furious.

The Li Kingdom is a federation of brothers of the Tang Dynasty, and it is dependent on each other with the Tang Dynasty. If the Li kingdom falls, will there be peace in the Tang Dynasty?

"Xiao Li, you did a good job! The Volga Khanate is simply too deceitful! These foreign thieves, if you don't hurt them, you will never learn to respect! ”

Li Hao drank a cup of tea, his face could not hide the fatigue of running around for months, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "Lao Li! The Turkic strength has not been restored, and now it has been hit hard, even if there is Ashina Yuqing to defend it, he does not dare to say that it is foolproof. Although Tuyuhun has been pacified, in order to quell the civil strife before the Volga Khanate counterattacks, I quickly cut through the chaos and killed many people. Now the Tuyuhun Dynasty has only hatred for me, no respect. Once something goes wrong in the future, Tuguhun will be reversed, and our situation is precarious! ”

Li Shimin nodded with a deep face: "Recently, the northeast direction of the Tang Dynasty has not been peaceful, not only have foreign countries repeatedly violated the border, but even these guys have begun to resurge, although I have sent troops to suppress it, but in the end, the quality assurance will not cure the root cause." As long as the problem of the Volga Khanate is not resolved, these clowns will not be at peace for a day. ”

Li Hao said coldly: "Passive defense is never as good as active attack!" Although the base camp of the Volga Khanate is on the European side,

But the influence of the forces is very wide, and the area around Outer Mongolia is also their sphere of influence, which is equivalent to our north, and all of them are the territory of the enemy. If the northern front is not cut off, the Volga Khanate will go south with all its might, and the Tang Dynasty and the Li kingdom will be in danger! ”

"What can you do?"

Li Hao slapped the map on the table vigorously: "For today's plan, we must cut off the Volga Khanate alliance of forces in our north!" Although these countries are within the influence of the Volga Bao Khanate, they have not been completely submissive, and have become their territories, as long as we dare to completely cut off their joint vertical and horizontal lines before their large army is assembled, the two sides will fight, and the victory will be difficult to decide! ”

"Slash!" Li Shimin frowned and stared at the map.

The influence of the Volga Khanate lasted for hundreds of years in the Outer Mongolian generation, how can it be said that it can be cut off?

Now that the Li kingdom has just suffered a heavy blow, if the two countries send a large number of troops to the north, if the Volga Bao Khanate takes advantage of the situation to invade the Turks and Tuyuhun, what should Li Hao use to stop it? Although there are only a few tribal countries in the Outer Mongolia region, they cannot be conquered in a day or two.

Once the time drags on for too long, not only will it not be able to cut off the enemy's northern front, but even the Li Kingdom will be hit hard, which will not make it even worse for the Tang Dynasty and the Li Kingdom?

Li Hao didn't care, and stared at Li Shimin very witnessed: "Human nature is greedy, and they often value what they already have more than new food." Although the Turks have been hit hard, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, how easy is it to completely conquer the Turks? What's more, there are Tuyuhun and the party who can bring reinforcements at any time, and they will also be afraid, if they can't take Tubo as soon as possible, in case the nomadic countries on the steppe are conquered by us and cut off their northern front, their future battles will not be easy to fight! ”

"You mean that they will send troops to stop us first?"

Li Hao nodded: "That's right!" This is also the strategy of the Volga Bao Khanate in recent years, if they want to invade the south in a full-scale way, they would have to transfer their troops to the northern front! ”

"Then it's back to the original question! The large land of Outer Mongolia is not something that can be taken down. If we lead our troops to fight now, we will inevitably join the nomads on the steppe and have a conflict. If the army of the Volgabao Khanate comes and attacks each other, we will be in a bad situation! ”

Li Hao was silent for a moment, and suddenly pointed to the broken leaves: "Old Li, if you use the broken leaves as a line, this piece of land to the east."

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

How long will it take you to take the land? ”

Li Shimin stared at the map, pondered for a long time, and resolutely said: "If no one disturbs, I will take it within half a year!" ”

With such a vast land, Li Shimin is limited to half a year, and the arrogance of King Qin is obvious.

Li Hao's eyes flashed: "Okay!" Xiao Li, I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman today, and I will help you fight for it in this half a year! In half a year, I will guard the line of broken leaves, and I will never let anyone who has sweated in Volga take a step beyond the thunder pool! Half a year later, you come to my aid, and we will completely return the Volga Khanate to their hometown!"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were shocked.

Li Shimin even shouted: "Xiao Li, you are crazy!" Your Li Kingdom is indeed magical, and it has developed to this point in just two years. But now your total number of troops in the whole country is only about 300,000, right? The Volga Bao Khanate has more than one million troops under its command, how can you stop them for half a year! ”

The three kingdoms of Dangxiang, Tuyuhun, and Turkic are now going to be the Volga Bao Khanate to attack and invade again, and it is impossible to divide the troops to Li Hao, and only the people from the Linghui Army Headquarters can be mobilized in Li Hao's hands. 300,000 troops against a million lions is simply hitting a stone with an egg.

Although Li Hao has fought mostly since his debut, he has won more battles with less. But there are also countless capable people in the Volga Bao Han Dynasty, and the gap in strength is so huge, isn't this looking for death? This time, even Li Shimin couldn't believe him.

But no matter how many people questioned, Li Hao still didn't change his face, and stared straight at Li Shiming's eyes: "Lao Li, let me ask, after half a year, can you come to help!" ”

"You're coming for real!" Everyone suddenly discovered that Li Hao was not joking.

Looking at his firm eyes, Li Shiming gritted his teeth: "As long as you are not harassed by the Volga Bao Khanate within half a year, even if Lao Tzu fights for this old life, he will completely conquer the people in this large land!" ”

"Victory or defeat in this battle, my life will be in your hands!"

Li Hao said in a deep voice, and then took Li Mingda and left the palace quickly.

Cheng Biting Jin was in a hurry and wanted to stop Li Hao, but seeing that he was determined, he could only turn his head to look at Li Shiming.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to mess around with Xiao Li?"

Li Shiming changed his previous seriousness at this moment, and a crazy smile appeared on his face: "How many miracles has this madman created, why don't we believe him this time anymore!" ”
