Chapter 797: The soldiers and horses went first before the grain and grass were moved
Standing in the night sky of Tianzhu, Songtsen Gampo figured out a lot, all of this is the cause planted earlier! It would be nice if Datang wasn't so provocative at the beginning. Songtsen Gampo somewhat regretted it.
But fortunately, there is still a chance to save everything.
It is impossible to go against the Tang Dynasty, and if you have thoughts in your heart, you have to hide them, Songtsen Gampo became a Zampu from a few years old, and completed the unification of Tubo in his hands, he knows very well what is the most important thing, and he also knows very well that there is no friendship between countries, only interests!
In the current situation, Datang took the opportunity to eat his Tubo, but it was not a matter of a day or two for Datang to stabilize the situation, and during this time, Datang actually didn't want to fight with him! So if he takes the opportunity to ask for something, Datang is very likely to give it to him.
As long as there are enough things in his hands, then he can take down the entire continent of Tianzhu! Take the land of the entire Jieri Dynasty, this is a new starting point for him to Tubo! The original bitter cold plateau land, don't do it!
However, what Shan Cuo said is quite right, if this news is heard by the Gundam Kingdom and the Ring Sun Dynasty, they will definitely take the opportunity to counterattack, and it is time to prepare.
When Lu Dongzan set off again for Lhasa, Xizhou and Chihai City.
Li Daozong checked the relevant information sent by Lu Hai, "Have all the logistics equipment been prepared?" ”
"If you return to the governor, you have already prepared, and the army can set off at any time." Lu Hai said seriously, "This time we have prepared a large number of new types of ordnance, and when the time comes, we will need to test it when you are attacking the city." ”
"Have the relevant armies experimented with it?" Li Daozong asked with some curiosity.
Of course, he knows about the Xizhou Industrial Zone, and many of the key protection areas of the industrial zone are guarded by his troops, and he is also clear about the ordnance research involved, but this time he has taken out so many new ordnance to test, and it must be tested by the test force.
"After testing, they will all use it, although the number of people is not large, but we do not have a large number of ordnance, there is no big problem. In addition, about 100 craftsmen will accompany the army. Lu Hai said.
"This ...... The army fights, and it is not good for the craftsmen to follow. Li Daozong frowned.
It's not that there are no craftsmen in the army, in fact, when the Tang army fights, there will be craftsmen accompanying them, but first, the craftsmen are in the rear, and second, the craftsmen who accompany the army are ordinary craftsmen.
And the craftsmen in Lu Haizui are important researchers in the entire industrial area, and these people can't afford to lose.
"Only then can they discover the problems of these new military ranks at the first time, and only then can they avoid problems with these ordnance and affect the operation in the future. Other than that...... This time, we are targeting the 36 countries of the Western Regions, and I believe that with the strength of the Tang Dynasty's army, they are all crushing. Lu Hai said.
"What if the Western Turks intervene?" Li Daozong was a little helpless.
"I don't think they have the time." Lu Hai shook his head and said, "The news from our caravan is that the Western Turks are now facing off against each other, and a large number of troops are used to defend each other. ”
"Okay, I can take them with me, but I don't know if I can test them in battle, if not, you can only test them on the proving ground." Li Daozong pondered for a moment and did not refuse.
Li Daozong is naturally full of confidence in the war against the 36 countries in the Western Regions, in fact, there are many countries here that don't need to do anything at all, such as the end of the country and Yanqi.
The more powerful one in the Western Regions is Gaochang, and after taking Gaochang, the other countries in the Western Regions don't have to worry at all, this time they either don't move, or if they do, they will completely take down the entire Western Regions.
Your Majesty and Your Highness don't want to wait.
"Can you keep up with the follow-up logistics?" Li Daozong asked with an additional sentence.
"Wuqiang City and Dunhuang City have hoarded a large number of materials, not this year, but the year before last. When we took Xizhou, His Royal Highness said at that time that the Western Regions would be ours sooner or later, so we have been hoarding materials in Dunhuang, Jiuquan and other places. ”
"These supplies are enough for the army, and we will keep up with the logistics as soon as the army leaves."
"These countries in the Western Regions don't have many troops, and we have enough scouts and intelligence, so it's unlikely that they will be harassed logistically." Luhai Expressway.
"Then I have no problem, I will leave for Dunhuang tomorrow, where I will meet the Duke of Liangguo, and then the army will begin to march towards the Western Regions." Li Daozong nodded and said, the main target this time is Gaochang, so the army will naturally set off from Dunhuang.
As for whether Gao Chang will know the news of the Tang Dynasty and die there as His Royal Highness said, Li Daozong does not know.
It doesn't matter if he dies or not, as long as he has died before, the latest reason is not good, then the previous reason can be used casually.
Anyway, this time the army is moving, and what awaits Gaochang is a result.
Compared with Li Daozong, An Xinggui is naturally much faster than him, and An Xinggui has already rushed to Dunhuang County.
"Guogong, the officials of the Ministry of Public Security are handing out armor, do you want to take a look?" An Xinggui was resting when his lieutenant came in to report.
"Issuing armor? Didn't some of the army's retired armor be given to them before? An Xinggui was stunned for a moment and asked a little strangely.
"It is said that it is a new standard armor provided by His Royal Highness King Qin, and priority will be given to changing or distributing in Longyou Road, Xizhou, Youzhou and other states and cities close to the frontier, according to the latest news from the Ministry of Public Security, the equipment replacement of the security army under the Ministry of Public Security will be completed within three years." The adjutant general gave a briefing.
"Let's go, let's see." An Xinggui is interested, the Ministry of Public Security is independent of the military system, it belongs to the locality, and it has nothing to do with An Xinggui, but now that he is here, he can naturally see it if he wants to.
What's more, An Xinggui himself also holds the position of a local official in Longyou Dao.
The Dunhuang County Public Security Division is not far from An Xinggui's temporary residence here, and soon An Xinggui will be here, and the Dunhuang County Public Security Division is a high-level one, after all, this is a border city, so the number of security forces under the Public Security Division is much higher than that of inland cities.
There are 1,500 security troops in the entire Dunhuang County.
Of course, theoretically, they were responsible for the security work in the counties, towns, and villages under the rule of Dunhuang County, and they were also responsible for certain border caravan inspections and auxiliary city defenses.
