Chapter 323: The border army changes generals
"General, why are you here?"
Li Xiang came back from talking with Zaterk, and suddenly found that Qin Qiong was here, shouldn't this person be in the capital? How did you come here?
"After your performance arrives in the capital, the emperor attaches great importance to it, this time is also an opportunity for us, no matter what you do in Tubo, we have to give the necessary support, from now on I will come to guard Liangzhou City, command the 80,000 army on the border of the Tang Dynasty, once there is something on your side, I can raise troops to the south at any time."
If it's just going to Tubo to send relatives, then you don't need to care so much, but now Li Xiang may have something to do when he goes to Tubo, and Li Shimin can't rest assured that this grandson can't be relieved, so he ordered Qin Qiong to come over with a part of the army, plus the 80,000 troops on the border, once Li Xiang has an accident in Tubo, then our army is not a joke, even if the water and soil are not adapted to the war on the plateau, then we have to go up.
After hearing this, Li Xiang's heart felt very hot, although he often fought with the old man in Chang'an City, but at the critical moment, he could still distinguish whether he was friend or foe.
"Thank you to the general, I didn't expect to alarm the general, but this time is indeed an opportunity for us, the military strength of the Tubo country is not weak, it is a relatively strong country around the Tang Dynasty, now we are not afraid of him, but if we make a mistake in the future, it is difficult to say what they will do, I went to the plateau this time to weaken them as much as possible."
Of course, Li Xiang knew what Tubo was doing, and when it was in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the Tubo army had entered Chang'an City, which was a bloody storm, so for the sake of future generations, Li Xiang could not let Tubo still have such an ability, and this civil strife in Tubo was a good opportunity.
"I understand what His Highness thinks, that is, to nip all dangers in the bud, the last time we sent troops to fight, His Highness's theory was very effective, but this time we still have to be careful, Tubo and Tuyuhun are different, and Lu Dongzan is even different."
Thinking of the wiser Tubo Prime Minister, Qin Qiong frowned, although Li Xiang often teased him along the way, but Qin Qiong knew very well that it was because that guy had lost his mind, if he kept his sanity, plus in the territory of Tubo, Li Xiang might not be able to take advantage.
"Without further ado, I will set off overnight in a while, and the general will check the border during this time, and all the openings that can be blocked will be blocked, and at the same time order the troops of all families outside the city to be temporarily assembled, and when we gave them the grassland at that time, we also had words in advance, and these troops must accept the orders of the imperial court at any time......"
In order to ensure the safety of their own grasslands, the major families have recruited a group of escort teams, most of them are three or four thousand people, and there are as few as eight or nine hundred people, as long as they are all assembled, we will have an army of 30,000 in an instant, Tuyuhun does not have to worry about it, we have long been afraid of it, and they also want Datang to ensure their safety, so they will not turn the gun.
Of course, we have to guard against it, the city fortifications on this side of Liangzhou City can not be reduced in any way, we can ignore it outside, Liangzhou City is our final bottom line, no matter what happens outside, we must maintain enough troops here.
Li Xiang's arrangement to Qin Qiong was very simple, that is, let Qin Qiong organize 20,000 to 30,000 cavalry, the number of people does not need to be too much, only fast mobility is required, the infantry is useless on the plateau, even these cavalry Li Xiang did not let them go deep into the plateau, just let them wave their flags and shout around the plateau.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, in five days at most, this matter will be handled in the next place, and let them conduct a drill outside Liangzhou City."
Qin Qiong is a smart person, and he quickly understood what Li Xiang was thinking, let's go all the way to the south to practice, just follow Li Xiang a few hundred miles behind, and it is not considered to threaten you by force, but if our Highness is uncomfortable, then our army may not be able to do anything.
"All the cities along the border have asked them to prepare, what will happen this time, I don't know in my heart, if it really affects the border, maybe they will have to go to the city to fight, of course, this is the worst plan, it is better not to go to that step."
Li Xiang has a habit, no matter when he does anything, he always likes to plan for the worst, as long as we have the worst plan, even if things deteriorate at that time, we have enough ability to deal with it, but if we don't prepare in advance, the result will be unpredictable in the future, Li Xiang can't let millions of people on the border fall in.
After explaining these things, Li Xiang did not stay here for a long time, but set off directly with his own people, he was able to rush to the Tuyuhun Royal Court as quickly as possible, if it weren't for Qin Qiong and Zaterke, I'm afraid Li Xiang would have already arrived.
Judging from the current situation, Zaterk can come up with 6,000 people, Qin Qiong's side can come up with 30,000 people, of course, all of them are cavalry, although this number is a lot, but if you want to threaten Tubo, I'm afraid this number is not enough, Li Xiang has to see how much Midu Khan can come up with.
It's only been a month's work, Li Xiang came to the Tuyuhun grassland again, for Li Xiang, a little evil star, Midu Khan can't wait to see him for the rest of his life, the first time this guy came, let them Tuyuhun be defeated.
When he came for the second time, Tuyuhun became a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.
I don't know what's going to happen for the third time......
Although Midu Khan's heart was a little apprehensive, he still had to meet what should be welcomed.
"Great Khan, you and our Royal Highness Taisun should be acquaintances, you don't need to be so nervous, right?"
Lord Zeng, as the protector of Tugu Hun Du, naturally had to greet him together, but at this moment, seeing that Midu Khan was sweating, what was going on?
Midu Khan smiled a little embarrassedly, who wants to be an acquaintance with that kid, who is an acquaintance with him and who has no good results, originally our good grassland, now it has become a vassal state of your Tang Dynasty, isn't it all because of that kid? May he never come to the prairie.
