Datang: It’s a showdown, I’m an all-around master

Chapter 271 Going all the way.

Gaochang Kingdom, in the royal palace.

Qu Wentai sat on a luxurious wooden chair carved with dragon patterns, with both hands resting on the armrests on both sides, looking very chic.

Also very arrogant.

At this time, a guard hurried in.

The guard held a letter in his hand.

"Your Majesty, I have a document here that the Tang Dynasty is about to conquer our Gaochang Kingdom."

Qu Wentai was calm and composed. He was not nervous at all. After receiving the documents handed over by the guards, he snorted coldly and said, "Isn't it a dream that the Tang army wants to conquer my Gaochang country? With the power of my Gaochang country, Tang Jun is simply Overestimate yourself!"

Wen Tai's men heard the words and immediately reminded: "Your Majesty, don't underestimate the enemy! Datang's strength should not be underestimated!"

"Just relying on them, what can I do?" Qu Wentai was still aloof, with an air of Lao Tzu's best in the world, unruly!
"Your Majesty, over the years, the Tang army has successively defeated the Eastern Turks, Tuyuhun, and Dangxiang Qiang, and then defeated the Tubo Kingdom. Now that they are attacking our Gaochang Kingdom, they must have made thorough preparations. We must not underestimate the enemy."

"Yes, Your Majesty! Tang Jun must not be allowed to go deep into the hinterland of our Gaochang country!"

"Your Majesty, and in recent years, the Tang Dynasty has produced a famous general named Yi Yin. Under his leadership, two hundred soldiers took down Tuyuhun, two hundred soldiers took down Dangxiang Qiang, and five thousand soldiers defeated Tubo. These are amazing feats, we must not underestimate Tang Jun."

"Your Majesty, it is said that this time it is still Yi Yin who leads the Tang army to attack our Gaochang Kingdom. There are [-] soldiers. We must not underestimate the enemy!"

"Is this necessary?" Qu Wentai slowly raised his head, looked at his subordinates, stood up slowly, and said without any anxiety: "The Tang Dynasty is nearly eight thousand miles away from our Gaochang country, and the desert in the middle is nearly two thousand miles away. , the climate is impermanent, and the water and grass are not growing. The 5 troops of the Tang army came to our Gaochang country, and maybe only half of them were left. Moreover, even if they all arrived, their logistical support was not super difficult. The food supply was insufficient, and the Tang army had no fighting spirit. , when the time comes, our army will definitely be able to make Tang Jun come and go!"

Wen Tai was very proud, and he continued: "Even if all 5 Tang troops arrive, our strength is far greater than theirs. As long as we stick to the city, the Tang army will have nothing to do with us."

"Your Majesty, I heard that Yi Yin is very capable!" the subordinate reminded.

"What are you doing? How do you build up other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige?" Qu Wentai looked at the crowd and said, "I, Gaochang Guoye, can't be bullied by the Tang Dynasty. Wan, so what? Come to my Gaochang country, and I will let him come and go."

Qu Wentai spoke very domineeringly.

But what he didn't expect was.

When Yi Yin came to Datang, Datang underwent earth-shaking changes.

Qu Wentai has been staying in his Gaochang country, not knowing that the current Tang Dynasty is no longer the previous Tang Dynasty.There is no need to worry about logistical supplies.

All kinds of snacks, instant noodles, self-healing pot, simple and convenient, and you can still eat, don't worry at all, just a little water is enough!

Moreover, the follower of the medical team ensures the safety of every soldier.

These were all unexpected by Wen Tai.

Obviously, Qu Wentai was too optimistic and cheerful. He never thought about why the Tang Dynasty was able to take Tuyuhun with 20 soldiers, and why [-] soldiers could defeat the [-] Tubo army.

If he had analyzed these in depth, he might not have underestimated the enemy so much.

After saying these words, Qu Wentai continued to sit on the throne, leisurely, and did not take the Tang army's attack on Gaochang Kingdom seriously at all.

He completely despised the existence of Tang Jun. It was precisely because of the harsh geographical environment that he believed that after Tang Jun came to Gaochang, he would become vulnerable!
"Your Majesty, it is definitely not a coincidence that the Tang Dynasty swept Tuyuhun, subdued Dangxiang Qiang, and defeated the Tubo Kingdom. Now, we suggest that we prepare for the battle early, send troops to the important towns on the edge of Gaochang, and find out the marching route of the Tang Dynasty. When they enter our hinterland, give them a sudden attack, maybe they can catch Tang Jun by surprise!"

The subordinates still continued to suggest.

Ke Wentai was too optimistic.

"Don't be frightened, we'll just wait for the arrival of the Tang army in this capital, and when the time comes, we'll let them collapse completely under the city wall." Qu Wentai still said very relaxedly.

Afterwards, Wen Tai continued to live a comfortable and comfortable life, and he didn't care about Datang's attack on his own land at all.

There was nothing the soldiers could do.

Wen Tai ignored them at all.

Just when Qu Wentai didn't care about Datang attacking them.

Yi Yin was leading [-] soldiers through the desert at an extremely fast speed!
For Yi Yin, the real difficulty is not to win Gaochang State, but the road to Gaochang State.

This situation is very difficult.

The weather in the desert is changeable, the most important thing is cold, especially at night.

Moreover, marching in the desert is dangerous anytime and anywhere.Sandstorms can happen at any time.

Under such extreme weather conditions and harsh environment, Yi Yin did not dare to neglect.

We must protect every soldier to reach Gaochang State safely.

For him, what failed was not that the soldiers lost their lives during the battle against Gaochang, but that they lost their lives on the way to Gaochang.

Therefore, he must ensure that every soldier reaches Gaochang State safely.

Yi Yin looked at Hou Junji and said, "General Hou, you must be careful and ensure that every soldier can safely pass through the desert."

Hou Junji said: "General, I suggest that you hurry day and night and strive to cross the desert as soon as possible."

Yi Yin shook his head, and said: "Traveling day and night and traveling thousands of miles to the desert, the soldiers will definitely not be able to bear it. By then, they may be exhausted. Let alone fighting, it will be difficult to take care of themselves."

"We still need to camp and rest at night, but we need to reduce the rest time." Yi Yin looked at Hou Junji, Xue Wanjun and others, and said, "We can march for a day and a night before resting. In this way, in a few days, we can across this desert."

Everyone also knows the dangers in the desert.

Fortunately, Yi Yin had been prepared for a long time. After all, he was a traveler, and he knew that he had to cross the desert to enter Gaochang Kingdom, so he had enough water.

Every soldier carries enough supply water.

Even though it was in a desert where no water and grass grew, none of the soldiers suffered from thirst, let alone sacrificed their lives.

Yi Yin led the soldiers to march in the desert for five days, and finally, on the morning of the sixth day, they left the desert and stood on the land that really belonged to Gaochang Kingdom!
