Lord Zhao has not cooperated with Li Xiang, but he has heard of Li Xiang's way of doing things before, that is, in any case, it is based on the premise of force, if our force does not have an advantage, then it is a waste of time to talk about anything, and today I saw Li Xiang's way of dealing with it, which is really the same as in the legend.

Xiao Shougui also watched all this with interest, when he set off from Chang'an City, his grandfather told him very clearly, just follow Li Xiang in everything, even if it is some orders issued by Chang'an City, it must be Li Xiang's head.

"If you have something to say, although we are working together for the first time, but we are all under the military banner of Datang, if what you say is very favorable, then I will also adopt your opinions, you will know after a long time, I don't have a word here."

Li Xiang saw that Lord Zhao seemed to have something to say, but he was a little bit of a desire to say something, in fact, this is also normal, Lord Zhao is not Li Xiang's descendant, and all the troops here belong to Li Xiang, so Lord Zhao is hesitant to raise objections.

"Since His Highness said so, then the old man will say a few words casually, the war must be fought, I don't know if His Highness wants to target the Western Regions Alliance, or Gaochang?"

Lord Zhao hesitated for a moment, and finally said what was in his heart, when Lord Zhao said this, everyone present was a little surprised, if we start fighting, of course we are facing the Western Regions Alliance, they have already played the banner of rebellion against the Tang Dynasty, Gao Chang's attitude is still very vague at this time, how can he start a war against Gaochang, if it is a war against Gaochang, it is not equivalent to pushing Gaochang to the side of the Western Regions Alliance?

"You old man just don't understand military affairs, don't talk nonsense on this occasion in the future, we will hand over your stage to you, but we still have the final say in the war."

Su Dingfang and Lord Zhao are already very familiar, and there are often jokes between the two during this period of time, so when Lord Zhao finished speaking, Su Dingfang immediately stood up to play a round, and he was afraid that others would laugh at Lord Zhao for not understanding military affairs.

"No...... right"

After Su Dingfang finished speaking, he was about to let Lord Zhao leave first, but Li Xiang raised his hand to stop Su Dingfang, and Li Xiang listened to what Lord Zhao said just now.

When Li Xiang raised his head, everyone knew that Li Xiang must have changed his mind, but the strength of Gaochang at this stage is not weak, although it was given to Huo Huo by Xue Yantuo for a while, it is still a big country in the Western Regions.

"Lord Zhao really reminded me with a word, otherwise we will enter the west of Gaochang, where we are not familiar with fighting and there is still a certain risk, but if we fight in Gaochang, then we will be sure that after defeating the Gaochang army, we can control Gaochang first, and then we can also give a wake-up call to the countries of the Western Regions."

After Li Xiang's words were finished, Niu Jinda and Su Dingfang also thought about coming over, this Lord Zhao is not only a civil official, it seems that he also understands military matters, as our Highness said, instead of going to an unfamiliar place in the west to fight, it is better for me to take Gaochang in a familiar place first.

If we take Gaochang, then we can attack and retreat and defend, which is equivalent to having a very good offensive position, and at the same time, it can also prevent the Western Regions Alliance Army from going to the interior through the Hexi Corridor, which is already invincible for us, and it is much safer than us taking the risk of going out of the Gaochang border and going to the west to fight with the Western Regions Alliance.

What's more, except for the Western Turks, most of the countries in the Western Regions Coalition Army did not think about fighting with the Tang Dynasty, it was nothing more than being coerced by Xue Yantuo and the Western Turks, as long as we occupied the land of Gaochang, then other small countries may not continue to hold on, and it is also possible to surrender to the Tang Dynasty in the middle, after all, they are all trying to survive in the cracks, and who is the emperor is not the emperor.

"Oh, old man, you're not an ordinary brain."

After Su Dingfang finished analyzing them on the map, this guy patted Master Su on the shoulder and said, Li Xiang immediately frowned, how strong is your hand? The people in the army are all clear, it doesn't matter if you are a soldier and you take two shots, how can the old man stand it?

"Don't you say I don't understand military affairs anymore?"

Old Man Zhao's aching teeth are itching at the moment, and Su Dingfang's hand strength is really not ordinary.

"Old man, you are both civil and military, if you didn't bring it up, we might have to fight here for two more years, and now if we want to win Gaochang, we must do it at the same time."

Su Dingfang quickly turned into a combat state, all the previous battle plans were taken out, although it took him several days, but Su Dingfang is a very free and easy person, now that he has a new offensive direction, it doesn't matter if the energy we spent before is good, as long as it can be beneficial to us, it is nothing more than a waste of time.

For Su Dingfang's work state, Li Xiang is sure that there are too many, many people have spent several days, then this plan must be carried out, if it is not carried out, it is equivalent to consuming the fruits of his labor, in fact, in terms of military affairs, the results of one or two people's labor are not important, the focus is whether we can get the maximum benefits in the end.

"Your Highness, we already have an internal response in Gaochang Country, should we notify them of this operation?"

Su Dingfang suddenly thought of some of the officials they had bribed, these people had already sworn allegiance to Datang in private, if they could help, it would also play a big role, but at the same time, the danger would also be magnified.

"Don't inform them for the time being, there are not many of us this time, so we have to attack suddenly, those people in the capital will control the palace, as long as they control the upper echelons of Gaochang, we will defeat their most effective army, basically even if we control Gaochang."

More than 10,000 people want to occupy the entire country, which is basically a joke, but there is no problem to occupy this country to a limited extent, and we still have the children of the royal family, and when we occupy this country, Wadahan may be the new king of Gaochang.

Of course, it's just a puppet, Li Xiang has to control this guy, if we are a little lax, then our efforts may not get a good result, and the leash on the leash must be tightened.
