Chapter 193: Stay

Cen Changqian's words made Li Jing frown.

An army of 200,000?

Where did the Western Turks get their 200,000 troops?

If there are really 200,000 troops, why don't you just go head-to-head with Datang, but instead create conflicts on the border and fight some autumn winds!

This is completely inconsistent with the style of the Western Turks, unless there is a problem with the battle report, Lingzhou Assassin Shi Sima Tuo must have exaggerated elements, could it be that he only killed a few people, or there was no gain at all, but he reported that thousands of people were killed!

Li Jing felt that it was not impossible to do so, anyway, it was not a small crime that Lingzhou Assassin Shi lost the war horse raised by the imperial court in Lingzhou.

In order not to be punished, he gave a fake war report, trying to use this to get by!

"Lingzhou Assassin Shi killed the enemy army, have you ever verified?"

Li Jing asked.

"The Ministry of War has verified that there are indeed thousands of heads, so we speculate that there are about 30,000 Western Turks who entered Koling Prefecture this time."

Li Dezhao, the squire of the military department, said.

After Li Jing heard this, he stood up suddenly!

How many people in the Western Turks are still guessing, where did the Lingzhou Thorn History come from so many heads?

Li Jing is deeply skeptical about this matter, but the first level is true, which is really intriguing.

"Now that the Ministry of War has verified, it seems that this battle is inevitable, I don't know how many soldiers and horses the imperial court has mobilized?"

Li Jing looked at the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty and said.

This battle must be fought no matter what, and this battle is related to whether the Turks can be completely tamed in the future and the entire Western Regions will be brought into the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

If it can succeed, it can even be a hundred years ahead of the national unity, like a family!

"The imperial court has requisitioned 100,000 troops, and all of them set off to Xiazhou, Lingzhou and other places to assist in defense!"

"The grain and grass have been allocated enough for a year, and now I am waiting for the sage's order, and my Tang soldiers can set foot in the Western Turks."

Li Dezhao, the squire of the military department, said.

Now it is only necessary to select the right generals to lead the troops to fight against the Western Turks.

As for the Turgish and Murwei, the Turgish were put in front by the Anxi army, and there was no major conflict between the two sides, and there should be no war in the short term.

With the 30,000 troops of the four towns of Anxi, as well as the small countries loyal to the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions, even if there is a real war, they can stop the army of Tuqishi.

The Tang Dynasty only needs to defeat the Western Turks within this period of time and let the Western Turks submit to the Tang Dynasty again, and at that time, as long as the emperor issues an edict, the problem of the Western Regions can be solved.

As for Murwei, the Tang Dynasty naturally didn't take Murwei seriously, the Western Turks were just vassals, and if they defeated their master, the Western Turks, and Murwei would surrender obediently.

"Now that the one that should be deployed has been deployed, then Xu Da, Lan Yu, and Sha Zha Zhongyi, you will immediately set off for Longyou, command the army, and wipe out the Western Turks."

"Obey the order!"

Xu Da and the three hurriedly came out of the queue and saluted.

The drafting of the edict is a matter for the Ministry of Literature, and the issuance of military talismans is a matter for the Ministry of War.

"Li Duozuo!"

"The minister is here!"

Hearing Li Jing shouting at him, Li Duozuo immediately stood up and saluted.

He knew that when the Son of Heaven called him at this time, he must have asked him to go out to fight against the rebellious Hu people, and the Western Turks had Xu Da and others to crusade against Pingding, and he was not needed at all.

Then there are only two anti-thieves left, Murwei and Turgish, Murwei is the younger brother of the Western Turks, and there is really no credit in defeating Murwei, it is better to fight Turgish.

Li Duozuo prefers that Li Jing can let him go to fight Tuqishi, only in this way can he be promoted to the prince of the country faster.

If you go to play a small role like Murwei, I am afraid that there is no hope of being promoted to the prince of the country in this life.

"You lead 20,000 troops, go to quell the Murowei rebellion for me, cut off the arms of the Western Turks, and assist Xu Da to quell the rebellion of the Western Turks as soon as possible."

Li Jing directly made arrangements for Li Duozuo, that is, to find a way to separate Murwei from the Turks first, and first use Murwei as an experiment to see if the Manchu Qing Dynasty's methods of dealing with the Mongols were effective.

Of course, the methods of the Tang Dynasty will be more gentle and will not be as barbaric as the Manchu Qing.

Murwei is also known as Pig Wei, lost Wei, or lost siege, the Northern Wei Dynasty began to be recorded, derived from the Dongyi Mengguo Pig Wei, after moving north, it was translated into the East Hu Xianbei Room Pseudo.

Murwei and Khitan come from the same source, bounded by the Xing'an Mountains, the south is called Khitan, the north is called Murwei, and the Sui Dynasty is divided into five parts: South Chamber, North Chamber, Bowl Chamber, Deep-end Heng Chamber, and Large Chamber, each of which is independent, and the customs and habits are a little different.

The Turkic people gradually developed and became stronger, and the five departments of Murwei were all subjugated by the Turks, submitted to the Turks and served as Turkic envoys, and the Turks sent three Tutun to rule Murwei.

Among all the Murwei tribes, the Northern Murwei had many contacts with the Central Plains Dynasty, and the relationship between the Nine Divisions of the Northern Murwei and the Tang Dynasty was equivalent to the relationship between Southern Mongolia and the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

It is the first object to be wooed, and it is also the object of preferential treatment in the future, as for the other four major departments, it depends on their performance, if they dare to show their teeth, they will be beaten hard, and then they will be divided.

Let them be divided into more small tribes, each of which does not belong to each other, even if someone has the opposite mind, they will not be able to stir up any storms, and they can firmly control the room Wei in their hands, and even make the room Wei a real subject of the Tang Dynasty.

To achieve a multi-ethnic republic society dominated by the Han nationality, everyone is like a family, regardless of each other!

"Obey the order!"

Li Duozuo was somewhat reluctant to Li Jing's arrangement, but he had to obey the will of the Son of Heaven, and he was still very loyal to Datang.

He will not want to rebel because he is not happy at all, even if he is told a little thing, he will do his best to complete it.

He knew in his heart that only in this way could the Son of Heaven trust him and reuse him, and because of this, Li Duozuo in history was able to master the forbidden army for twenty years and won the trust of the Empress Wu.

"Is there anything else you can do? If you have nothing to do, let's go our separate ways! ”

After Li Jing finished arranging, he asked everyone if they had anything to add, if they had any suggestions, they might as well say it.

"Wait for the resignation!"

The civil and military officials saluted and retired.

"Li Duozuo stays, I still have something to say to you."

Li Jing stopped Li Duozuo, who was about to exit the main hall.

Li Duozuo stopped, thinking in his heart, what did the Son of Heaven want to say when he left him?

If you want to talk about it, it must be confidential, otherwise, you won't leave him alone, but the sage plans to send him to pacify the turret after dealing with Muro.

It's not impossible to think about it, since the fall of the Later Turkic Khanate, Turgish has absorbed many of the subordinates of the Later Turkic Khanate, and its strength has been strengthened.

He also attacked the Western Regions, expanded a lot of territory, and subdued some small states in the Western Regions, although it was not as strong as the Later Turkic Khanate, but it was not much worse.

The saint must be afraid that if Tuqi Shi continues to be strong, it will really threaten the Tang Dynasty.

Li Jing didn't think as much as Li Duozuo thought, he just wanted to explain some things to him.
