Chapter 1318 It's not okay to come and go

Chang'an Tiance General's Mansion

Li Xiang came back from the south in a hurry, thinking of quickly leading his troops to the Western Regions, but he did not expect to receive the report of a great victory in the Western Regions, annihilating more than 5,000 cavalry members of the Arab Empire and more than 30,000 rebel troops from various countries in the Western Regions.

"Mo Lun is a good guy, he can play like this, it's not unusual, I've seen this old boy before, and he has a lot of eyes, but Li Chengyi is not easy to say, he can calm down at a young age, it seems that our Datang is really talented."

When Niu Jinda saw the report of the battle in the Western Regions, he was also embarrassed in his heart, originally thought that he had to send generals from Chang'an City, or let the Cheng brothers play in person, so that he could resist the Arab Empire, but he didn't expect that these guys had already won, and this victory was not small.

If it were in other regions, 30,000 people would really not be enough to say anything, but the Western Regions itself is vast and sparsely populated, almost a small city is a country, and all the troops add up to only two or three thousand people, so these 30,000 people are quite a lot.

"It seems that we really don't need to go to the front line, I thought I was waiting for us to clean up the situation, His Royal Highness has been saying that this is what the Rab army is powerful, and I have always kept it in mind, in my heart, it doesn't look very good now, and I didn't even send our front-line army, all of them are Gaochang troops."

Su Dingfang was also a little sad, he finally found an opportunity, and he discussed with Li Xiang for a long time when he was drinking, and he was able to go around when he saw it.

But now even the Tang Dynasty's army in the Western Regions has not been used, only an artillery team has been used, if this is the case, how can there be any need to send troops from the capital?

Just when the two were discussing this matter, Li Xiang also came over from behind, which was also the official promotion of the Tiance General's Mansion...

This is like a small court, specializing in dealing with the military aircraft of the Tang Dynasty, and later generations can also be called the Military Aircraft Department, of course, after the discussion, it must be approved by the emperor.

"It seems that you all know that the Western Regions has won the battle, and this king didn't expect it to be like this, it seems that the thinking of the strange tree in the past was a bit serious, or the training of our army is much stronger than before."

After receiving this news, Li Xiang was also a little strange, and compared all the data in detail, and finally calculated that after all these years of development, whether it is the Datang army or the army under the Datang, their combat effectiveness has risen to an extremely high level.

Although the cavalry of the Arab Empire is powerful, it is against my Tang army, and it did not take much advantage in the original period, even if it wins, it is a disastrous victory, and now our combat effectiveness has increased so much, even if they have a miserable victory, they have no chance, especially when we are full of artillery in the Western Regions.

The land in the Western Regions is too vast, if a large number of troops are stationed, the annual military expenditure will be an astronomical amount, so it is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to station a large number of troops there, and only a group of artillery teams can be stationed on the main transportation routes, and these artillery teams must move quickly.

Fighting this battle can be regarded as letting the countries of the Western Regions see clearly, the savior you have in mind is just a bunch of cannon fodder in front of the Tang army, as long as we want to solve them, then they have no strength to turn over.

"Your Highness, although the current crisis is solved, but it is not rude to come, if we just let them go, we will still be in a passive state in the future, since they have provoked the war, then we will directly kill them."

Although Niu Jinda is a rough temper, what he said is serious, since the Arab Empire has entered the western regions of our country, it means that they want to invade this region, this is only a small setback, this is impossible for them to dispel this idea.

"The last general also thinks that Lao Niu said, as His Highness said, since the comprehensive national strength of the Arab Empire is equivalent to that of my Tang Dynasty, then their decision cannot be easily changed, and this failure will only make them come back, rather than we wait at the door of the house, it is better to destroy them, so that we can prevent thieves every day, and the lives of the common people are also restless, and the princes and nobles of the Western Regions have other ideas."

After Li Xiang's transformation in the past few years, let alone the two generals in front of him, even if they are ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty, they will destroy the country if they open their mouths and close their mouths.

Don't say that you didn't come to invade my Datang, even if your land is relatively prosperous, that is the reason why we invaded you, and now they have all hit our borders, and they have to fool these client countries on the border to make trouble, since this is the case, then I can't spare you.

Li Xiang also nodded at the words of the two, but it is not suitable to launch a large-scale war with the Arab Empire at this stage, according to historical records, the Arab Empire should be strong now, and it can take out more than ten or two hundred thousand troops at every turn, and they are all Arab iron horsemen who have come and gone without a trace.

They should expand along the Mediterranean, and there should not be many troops on our side, and if there is a big war with the Arab Empire when there are still Tibetans and Tianzhu, this is not in line with Li Xiang's international plan.

But now that they are under the rule of our country, they have to give them some color, and if they don't give them some color, I don't know what these guys will do in the future.

"If Your Highness is worried, then we don't need to attack too deeply, it's better to occupy this Anton Governor's Mansion, and let's wait and see what happens, if they endure it, then we will occupy a lot of new land, which can be used as our country's western barrier, but if they can't bear it, then continue to increase troops to the Western Regions."

Niu Jinda saw Li Xiang's hesitation, it must be that there are other things on our side, if there is no Tubo and Tianzhu, then we can really fight with it, if we win, the vast area west of the Green Ridge is also ours, and even can progress to the Arabian Peninsula, which will be the equivalent area of another Datang.

"This is a good way for you, but I am afraid that the army under General Morun is not enough, you immediately send an order to Cheng Chuliang, let him be the commander-in-chief, General Morun is the deputy marshal, and Li Chengyi will join the army, and lead 50,000 people to attack Samarhan, and ask the Anton Governor's Mansion of the Arab Empire to blame ......"
