Chapter 354: Action Plan
In Yunnan, Mu Ying received Li Jing's order, and immediately selected 3,000 elites to enter Queensland and take over the defense of Queensland.
On the side of Shuzhou, no longer according to the old practice, 500 soldiers were sent to garrison Yaozhou, but waited for the imperial court to send elites to Yaozhou.
In order to deal with the rebellion in Yaozhou, the imperial court deliberately selected 30,000 elites and brought armor developed by Li Jing and manufactured by the arsenal to ensure that the soldiers would not be poisoned by the miasma.
This time, we must solve the hidden dangers of Yaozhou and make Yaozhou completely become the territory of Datang.
On Xu Da's side, 50,000 new troops were stationed on the border between Zhenla and Annan Prefecture.
They have been here for two days, and the news they got is that the road from Zhenla to Bi is impassable because of the heavy rain.
Xu Da sent people to negotiate many times, and the result was the same, Zhenla Guo said that he was very sorry, it was not that they were unwilling to lend the way to Tang Jun.
There is really no way out, all the roads are blocked, but they will try to clear the roads.
Xu Da once sent someone to check, and the answer he got was that the road was indeed blocked and the army could not pass.
Later, Xu Da made it clear to Zhenla that the Tang army was willing to help them clear the road.
Such a request was directly and politely rejected by Zhenla Kingdom, so they wouldn't be so stupid and let Tang Jun come to help clear the road, wouldn't that be digging their own grave?
It took the old man's strength to block all the roads before, how could the Tang army be dredged, as long as the Tang army did not withdraw for a day, the road could not be dredged for a day.
Xu Da felt that there was something greasy in this, but there was no substantial evidence, and he was not easy to make trouble!
"I don't know what you think about the problem of road blockage in Zhenla?"
Xu Da summoned the generals to discuss the issue of the road in Zhenla, and now that the road is blocked, what should they do?
Xu Da's original intention was to directly start and lead the army to raid the Zhenla Kingdom, and before the Zhenla Kingdom did not react, he would rush to repair a road and come out!
As for the behavior of Zhenla Kingdom, he will write a note and report it to Li Jing, the Son of Heaven, and how to deal with Zhenla Kingdom still needs to be decided by the Son of Heaven.
In any case, Zhenla is also a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and it is polite to treat them, and you can't kill Zhenla because you are suspicious of Zhenla.
From a moral point of view, this is untenable, the army of the Tang Dynasty is a righteous army, how can it do things that bully the weak.
Therefore, how to do it requires everyone to hold a meeting to study and study.
"I suspect that the road in Zhenla is not a natural disaster, but more likely a man-made disaster."
The envoy of the First Army of the New Army expressed his opinion that it was true that there had been heavy rain in the south recently, but it was not so bad that all the roads leading from Zhenla to Pyu had collapsed.
Saying that there is no problem here, they will never believe it, and the people of Zhenla are obviously lying!
"What do you mean, the Zhenla Kingdom doesn't want us to attack the Bi Kingdom? They deliberately blocked the road, but what did they do it for? ”
"We are just borrowing a way from them, and we will give them a good reward, why should Zhenla Kingdom do such a thing, isn't Zhenla Kingdom afraid of offending Datang?"
The envoy of the Third Army of the New Army did not understand such a behavior of the Zhenla State very much.
"It is precisely because of the fear of offending the Tang Dynasty that Zhenla Kingdom will be like this."
The envoy of the First Army said.
"What do you mean by that? What does it mean to block the road for fear of offending Datang, and what is the relationship between the two? ”
The envoy of the Third Army was even more puzzled, he had never liked to use his brain, and he couldn't understand the meaning at all.
"Zhenla Kingdom is worried that if it lends us the way, it will become the second Yu Kingdom, and after our army destroys the Yu Kingdom, we will turn around and attack Zhenla Kingdom."
"But Zhenla doesn't want to offend us, and is worried that if you don't borrow the way to give our army, you will become the first target of our army's destruction, so you can only use God to prevaricate us."
"In this way, our army has no reasonable reason to launch an attack on the Zhenla Kingdom, and it is not that the Zhenla Kingdom does not want to lend us the way, but the heavens do not allow it!"
The envoy of the Second Army of the New Army said his conjecture and guessed the thoughts of the Zhenla Kingdom!
In this way, no matter how dissatisfied the Tang army is, he will not make a move against the Zhenla Kingdom.
After all, the road from Zhenla to Bi was washed away by the heavy rain that fell from above.
"General, the country of Zhenla is so shameless, and I ask the general to give an order to launch an attack on the country of Zhenla, and the general will definitely destroy the country of Zhenla."
The envoy of the Third Army was very angry, got up and asked Xu Da for his life, wanting to send troops to destroy the Zhenla Kingdom.
His proposal was rejected by Xu Da, and now there is no evidence to prove that it was done by Zhenla Kingdom, and sending troops to destroy others is not good for them.
"There are some things, everyone knows it, and now it is not easy for us to conflict with Zhenla, let alone directly send troops to destroy Zhenla."
"Doing so will only disgrace the Tang Dynasty, our mission this time is to send troops to crusade against the unsubordinate country of Pi, not the country of Zhenla."
Xu Da came to the sand table money, picked up a thin stick, pointed to the sand table and said:
"I decided to take advantage of the hazy night tonight, pass through here as quickly as possible, arrive here, and dig this road before Zhenla Kingdom can react."
Everyone's eyes converged on the sand table.
The road Xu Da pointed out was the closest road to their military camp.
However, in order to reach this road to the country of Pyu, you must pass through the primeval forests of the territory of the country of Chenla.
There are poisonous insects and beasts in it, and it may not be safe to shuttle through the forest at night.
"General, wouldn't it be too risky to do this, the forest is very dense, and it is inconvenient to march at night, and once we encounter an attack, we will not be able to deal with it at all."
The adjutant general looked at the path pointed out by Xu Da, his brows furrowed, to be honest, he didn't approve of this, this was a joke with the lives of the soldiers.
"Don't do that? What do you say? ”
Xu Da raised his head and asked.
"The last general thinks that it is safer to take this road, as long as we move quickly, and when the Zhenla Kingdom finds out, we have already begun to clear the road."
"Then, send someone to stop the soldiers and horses of Zhenla Kingdom, as long as it takes half an hour, you will definitely be able to open this passage smoothly."
The lieutenant pointed to another road on the sand table, he felt that this was more secure, even if the real country found out, what could it do?
Could it be that Zhenla still dares to attack the Tang army?
As long as the Zhenla Kingdom did not dare to attack the Tang Army, they would be able to open the road smoothly.
If the Zhenla Kingdom dares to make a move against the Tang Army, it will justifiably destroy Zhenla all together!
Without waiting for Xu Da to nod, a soldier walked in from outside and saluted Xu Da:
"Report to the general, the envoy of Funan has arrived!"
Some people died, but not completely......
