Datang: Valkyrie chat group

Among other things, if he came up on the grassland to defend the Yinshan King's Court with a strong wall, then even if Datang mobilized more than [-] troops to break through the Yinshan King's Court, at least... ..It will take half a year to a year.

However, the Yinshan King's Court is far from the Tang Kingdom, more than a thousand miles away. With such a journey, it is only a matter of transporting food and grass, and the consumption during the period will be quite a lot.

Therefore, in his opinion, this battle is not only about the strength of the two sides, but more importantly, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty.

He is confident that if he can persevere, he can even bring down Datang's treasury.

The civil servants of the Tang State opposed large-scale wars and limited the time to two months because of this consideration.

Putting these things together, one can be sure that there must have been more than one quarrel in the Daming Palace.

9 Wenchen saw the uncertainty of this large-scale war, and even saw the tightness of the national treasury, so he gave a precondition of ending the war in two months.

However, the generals also saw that it was impossible to end the war in two months, so the two sides would quarrel endlessly.

But, quarreling is a good thing, at least it is a good thing for Turks.

However, the problem now is that even if there are quarrels within the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty may not give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. What if the Tang King is really aggressive.

Thinking of this, Ji Li Khan frowned slightly again.

This is completely possible. After all, the Tang king is a rare hero, and he is completely possible to convince the ministers of the court.

"What does the wizard think?"

Ji Li Khan looked at the wizard again and asked.

"The king of Tang is an unborn hero. He will definitely not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Within this year, they will definitely conquer the grasslands. There will also be a battle between us and them."

The wizard murmured and said.

Ji Li Khan nodded slightly in agreement.

"The wizard thinks, when will the Tang Kingdom march north?"

Jiri Khan continued to ask.

This time, the wizard did not immediately.

answer.

He pondered for a moment first.

"If the Tang Dynasty mobilizes the army, it will take at least... one month, and it will take at least two months to prepare the food and grass for the army to go out."

After a while, the wizard continued.

"That is to say, if King Tang insists on going north, the war will start in two months."

Jiri Khan sat up.

"Perhaps, faster than that."

A word from the wizard.

"Decree, the entire grassland, the tribes located in the south, all the kings will have a decisive battle with him, the Great Tang, in this Yinshan royal court, and he, the Tang Kingdom, will never get any supplies from the grass."

Standing up, Jili Khan shouted loudly.

From this moment on, Ji Li Khan made a firm decision to clear the country.

It's just that his decision was a bit late.

At the very least, it was much later than... the Tang elite led by Tang Feng.

Run thousands of miles.

More than 6 cavalrymen galloped across the grassland. All Turkic tribes encountered on the road, without exception, were all wiped out, and all food, cattle, sheep, etc... were taken captive.

With the grain and cattle and sheep scavenged from these steppe tribes, [-]

The food consumed by the army these days has been replenished a lot.

On the whole, after plundering seven or eight small tribes in a row, the food they get can supply the army for three to five days, which is better than nothing.

On the prairie, a piece of wolf smoke and beacon fire.

The army was rolling, and the grassland tribes were burned and looted one after another.

Among them, there are not only small tribes with hundreds of people, but also medium tribes with thousands of people.

All the men who resisted were ruthlessly suppressed. When the Tang army passed by, what was left was only the burned tribe, as well as those women, old people and children.

The brutality of war is evident.

And as the army went deep into the grassland, Chang'an completely lost the news of the army.

It's like a mud cow sinking into the sea.

Even though Changsun Wuji and Li Xun released all the intelligence personnel in their hands, the last news they got was that Tang Feng led this elite cavalry to the western front.

Moreover, that kind of speed of marching left everyone dumbfounded.

It took thousands of miles from Yao Pass to the abandoned Great Wall Pass, but it only took Tang Feng and his cavalry three days. Such a marching speed is almost impossible to complete.

But Tang Feng and his cavalry made the impossible possible.

"How did he do that"

Gao Shilian asked like this.

How is it possible! This is the voice of everyone.

Everyone wanted to ask this question, and wanted to know how Tang Feng did it.

Nobody knows.

"This bastard can always surprise people."

Tang Wang sat there with a smile on his face.

From his voice, everyone could hear the joy and the little bit of pride.

That, after all, was the young man he picked up with one hand.

"At this speed, I'm afraid the Turkic side can't react at all. At this time, they should go deep into the grassland and wreak havoc on the grassland."

Li Jing murmured and said.

Hearing Li Jing's words, everyone present smiled.

With Tang Feng's hotter and decisive personality than the old fritters, once he leads the army deep into the grassland, he will definitely turn the grassland upside down.

Next, Jiri Khan should have a headache.

The Turkic people are bound to fortify the wall and clear the country, which is foreseeable by everyone, but at this time, I believe that the Turkic people have not acted yet.

In other words, there are too many small tribes in the current grassland, waiting for Tang Feng and the others to harvest them.

The problem of food and grass should not be a big problem, at least, after harvesting many grassland tribes, even if the Battle of Yinshan could not achieve a complete victory, Tang Feng could calmly lead the army back.

Thinking of this, the people in the Tai Chi Hall felt much more relaxed.

Chapter 529: Face Saint

At the very least, as far as the current situation is concerned, every step Tang Feng takes has been carefully considered.

Although he chose to take the western route, it was a bit of a gamble, but if we analyze all the signs, it is much better to take the western route than to go to Datong.

That's a way to win by surprise.

The biggest advantage of going on the Western Front is that...it perfectly avoids the secret work of the Turkic people.

What is certain is that even now, the Turkic people still don't know the news that Tang Feng led [-] elite cavalry to go north.

Because they don't know the news, the East Turkic side must have not taken precautions, and they have not yet strengthened their walls and cleared the country.

This gave Tang Feng countless opportunities.

When Tang Feng led the army and approached the Yinshan Royal Court, at that time, Ji Li Khan would definitely be caught off guard.

"At the Ministry of Households, the supplies needed for the Western Expedition Army are ready."

Tang Wang looked at his eldest grandson Wuji and asked.

"Your Majesty, everything has been prepared, and it can be transported to Yumen Pass by tomorrow at the latest."

Changsun Wuji stood up, bowed and saluted, and opened his mouth to answer.

Tang Wang nodded slightly.

The Northern Expedition is the key, but Datang's face is equally important.

Kucha Kingdom dared to openly kill Datang's envoy, this is a challenge to Datang, which is not allowed.

Even if you give up the Northern Expedition, you must punish the Kucha Kingdom.

Otherwise, in the future, how can the Tang Dynasty be able to shock the entire Western Regions and let those... small countries in the Western Regions keep themselves safe.

"Your Majesty, Duke Lu is here."

At this time, Rong Dequan came over and said in a low voice.

"Let him in."

Tang Wang waved his hand.

Soon, Hou Junji in military uniform came in from outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, Hou Junji has seen His Majesty."

Hou Junji stepped forward, bowed and clasped his fists in salute.

"waived."

Tang Wang looked at Hou Junji and stretched out his hand to signal.

Hou Jun got up.

At this moment, in the main hall, everyone's eyes were on Hou Junji, and they nodded and greeted each other.

After all, those present are all old buddies who crawled out of the pit. Even though the big guys have become a little unfamiliar with each other due to various reasons in these years, old buddies are old buddies after all.

"This time, I called you back from outside the Yumen Pass. On the way, you should know why."

Tang Wang looked at Hou Junji and said kindly.

Hou Junji bowed again, and the armor on his body made a crisp sound.

"Kuci country killed my envoy, my Tang Dynasty has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, it is righteous, this ungrateful country should be destroyed."

Hou Junji said in that resonant voice.

Hearing Hou Junji's words, Tang Wang smiled and nodded.

From the founding of the Tang Dynasty to the present day, the Ping family has 49 if not fifty.

King Tang didn't care about the life and death of Kucha.

If it wasn't for the audacity of the Qiuci country to kill the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, he wouldn't even bother to pay attention to this small country located in the western region.

And this time, he chose Hou Junji to be the commander in charge of conquering the Kucha Kingdom, because Hou Junji acted swiftly and resolutely, and was a little hotter than other generals.

And he just... wants to use Hou Junji's share of hotness to punish the country of Kucha, and at the same time, to make an example to those... small countries in the Western Regions.

Once Hou Junji leads the army to the western frontier, it will definitely be another battle to destroy the country.

As for the development of the war, Tang Wang is not worried at all.

Although there are tens of thousands of soldiers in the Kucha Kingdom, how can those soldiers who are like chickens and dogs be the opponents of the Jiabing soldiers of the Tang Dynasty?

Only [-] Great Tang Armored Soldiers are enough to destroy this country located in the west, and there will not be too many casualties.

"This time, you command your troops to go west, and you must pay special attention to the dangers of marching in the Gobi Desert. If there is danger, remember not to force yourself."

Tang Wang murmured and said.

In this world, the only one who can defeat Tang Jun Jiabing on the battlefield is Tang Jun himself. However, in the face of the mighty power of nature, manpower will eventually be exhausted.

The country of Kucha is located in the desert, adjacent to the ancient country of Loulan. In the desert, there are often sandstorms. If the army encounters a sandstorm, it will be in great danger. If you are not careful, the entire army may be wiped out.

"I have been fighting in the western frontier all the year round, and I still know something about the situation in the desert. This time, before I came back, I ordered someone to find a guide who is familiar with the desert."

Hou Junji bowed and said.

Tang Wang is still very satisfied with the arrangement of... Hou Junji.
