Datang: Valkyrie chat group

Stretching out his hand to open the letter, Tang Feng looked at it carefully.

When he saw the East Turkic annual tribute list, Tang Feng's face was full of smiles, and he seemed to understand what this... His Majesty meant.

"Your Majesty, the pastures are abundant on the grassland, and there are many horses. The thousand war horses seem to be too few. No matter what, there should be ten thousand horses."

Putting the letters together, Tang Feng said lightly.

While speaking, he looked towards King Tang at the top.

Seeing the faint smile on Tang Wang's face, he knew that he had guessed right.

This... king may think so in his heart, but in order to show his magnanimity, he will naturally not say such words.

But these words, speaking to myself, are completely different.

To...East Turkic people, I was like an executioner, but now, if I ask for more, it will be nothing.

Thinking of this, Tang Feng felt that he seemed to be cheated by this king again.

Chapter 649: Fly separately in the face of catastrophe

On the main hall.

Several envoys from the Eastern Turks changed their expressions once again when they heard Tang Feng's words.

Thousands of horses.

They didn't expect that this young man could say such words.

Seeing the smile on Tang Feng's face when he spoke, these people just realized that this young man is... that... the demon that made the grassland people gnash their teeth.

As a grassland nomad, the Eastern Turks were able to breed excellent war horses, and their cavalry could compete head-on with the well-equipped cavalry of the Tang Dynasty. There was a big reason for this.

Many civil and military officials around, upon hearing Tang Feng's words, my family members felt that the lion opened their mouths.

However, no one would stand up and say anything.

After all, for Datang, this is of great benefit and no harm.

After Tang Feng finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at the envoys of the Eastern Turks.

These people didn't refuse right away, but their faces were full of struggles.

On the prairie, there is abundant pasture, many cattle and horses, but [-] excellent war horses, that is definitely not a small number.

After struggling for a long time, the leading Turkic envoy sighed.

"Your Majesty the King of Tang, in order to show our Khan's sincerity in surrender, I will take the Khan to accept these ten thousand horses."

Afterwards, the head of the Turkic envoy turned to the king of Tang and said respectfully.

no choice.

Before leaving the grassland, Ge Shuhan specifically explained that no matter what, they must win Datang's protection, otherwise, it will be a problem for them to survive safely.

At the top, King Tang smiled like a flower when he heard these answers.

Today's Tang Dynasty, after so many years of development, the national strength seems not weak, but in fact, it does not have a deep foundation.

This annual tribute of tens of thousands of war horses is definitely considered a generous sum of money for... Datang.

With these......war horses, Datang will be able to form a more powerful cavalry unit, which will be of great benefit to... future expansion.

Turning his eyes to Tang Feng again, he felt more and more satisfied.

In fact, when delivering this letter to Tang Feng, he did pay attention to this aspect, but he never thought about such a huge number.

At this time, Tang Wang had already started to think in his heart, whether he should reward this kid with something.

Tang Feng naturally does not know what this...king is thinking at this time.

However, he has his own considerations for proposing this number.

Four expeditions to the north, two visits to the grassland, he still has some understanding of the situation on the grassland.

Thousands of war horses, the Turkic people may feel pain, and they will definitely be able to pay tribute.

As for whether it is too much or not, he has never considered it.

Winner and loser.

Thinking about the later generations, during the Qing Dynasty, the powers from all directions came to plunder, and every treaty was a huge amount of compensation.

As a weaker party, there is no room for bargaining.

As all the dust settled, the court meeting came to an end.

The king of Tang, as well as the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all very happy, and the Eastern Turks also sought corresponding asylum. It can be said that it is the best of both worlds.

Tang Feng did not continue to stay in Daming Palace, and left directly.

Western Regions.

Perhaps it was God's will that stood on the side of the Tang Dynasty. Hou Junji led an army of [-] in the desert. Although it was difficult, he did not encounter any natural disasters.

Under the guidance of the guide, the [-] troops passed through Moheyan Qi smoothly and arrived at the hinterland of the Western Regions.

Kucha King's Palace.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something is wrong."

King Kucha is

Playing with Huren Meiji, who was brought up by his subordinates, the military division under him ran in with a loud cry.

"What's so alarming"

King Qiuci looked at the military adviser who ran in, with a hint of displeasure on his face, and said coldly.

"Your Majesty, the army of the Tang Kingdom has really crossed mountains and rivers and is heading towards our country. Now, they have passed through the Moheyan Desert. I am afraid that they will arrive in our country by tomorrow."

The military adviser ignored the displeasure on Qiuci Wang's face, and hurriedly spoke.

Hearing this, King Qiuci suddenly stood up from his seat.

"What did you say"

The voice of speaking has changed a bit.

Then, the military adviser repeated the news that Tang Jun was about to bring.

King Kucha froze there for a moment.

In the past, he dared to talk nonsense, mainly due to the geographical distance between the two countries, and he was confident, but now, when he really heard the arrival of the Tang army, he panicked.

The Tang State was able to destroy such a powerful grassland country as the Eastern Turks. King Qiuci did not think that with his country's weak military strength, it could resist the Tang army's pace.

"immediately.

Send envoys to Gaochang to inform King Gaochang of the arrival of the Tang army."

As the king of a country, the King of Qiuci still had a bit of concentration, after a brief moment of stupefaction, he quickly came back to his senses, and hurriedly said to the military adviser.

Hearing this, the military adviser hurriedly withdrew and began to arrange the matter.

At the beginning, when beheading the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, they thought that with the distance of nearly ten thousand miles between the two sides, how could the Tang Kingdom really extend its hand here.

But what he never expected was that Tang Wang Li Er was not an ordinary king.

Even if there were no such things, the entire Western Regions was also planned by him, and now, the occurrence of such things gave this... king an excuse to go west.

King Qiuci stood there, pacing back and forth, with a look of panic on his face.

As for... the stunner-like Huren Meiji next to her, she lost interest in an instant.

The territories of the countries in the Western Regions are not very large, and Gaochang and Qiuci are even more adjacent to each other.

In the afternoon, the envoys to Gaochang came back.

"Reporting to the king, the subordinates went to Gaochang country, but did not see the king of Gaochang. People in the Gaochang palace said that the king of Gaochang was unwell and could not send troops to help for the time being. I hope the king will understand."

The messenger will relay.

When King Kucha heard the words, he immediately burst into anger.

"Damn it, this old man Wentai obviously knew the news of Tang Jun's arrival, and deliberately claimed to be sick, in order to let the king stand in front."

King Kucha roared furiously.

At the beginning, the two sides negotiated to kill the envoys of the Tang Kingdom and refused the Tang Kingdom's surrender. Now, the real disaster is coming, and Gao Chang's actions made the King of Qiuci very angry.

Down below, the messenger stood there trembling, not daring to say anything.

At the same time, my heart was filled with endless panic.

Such a colossus as Tang Guo is definitely not comparable to his own country. He can't imagine what will happen next.

Chapter 650: Even if it is far away, it must be punished

In Gaochang Palace.

"Father, the Tang army has marched to our Western Regions. It is clear that the king of the Tang Kingdom wants to unify the Western Regions. Why don't you fight against the Tang Army together with Qiuci?"

Prince L Zhisheng of Gaochang looked at his father who was sitting there, and asked in confusion.

"The Tang Dynasty is so powerful that it cannot be resisted by a small country like us. It was Qiuci who killed the Tang envoy, not me, Gaochang. Now, I, Gaochang, stand still. Maybe I can escape this disaster."

Gaochang Wang L Wentai said lightly.

Thinking back to the time when he agreed to King Qiuci's decision to kill the Tang envoy, he couldn't help feeling somewhat regretful.

Now, I can only pray secretly, hoping that the flames of war will not involve my own country.

the other side.

After Hou Junji led the [-] Tang troops out of the Moheyanqi desert, he did not rush to march immediately.

In this great desert that stretches for nearly a thousand miles, tens of thousands of troops marched forward, everyone seemed to have shed a layer of skin, no matter...

Whether it's energy, physical strength, or...will, it's an extreme consumption.

Order the whole army to take precautions and stay in place to rest.

The logistics officials started to light a fire to cook. Many soldiers stopped, and the first thing they did was...to pour a few mouthfuls of water into their mouths.

The cool fresh water slowly entered the stomach along the throat, and everyone felt a little more comfortable.

Hou Junji looked back, thinking of marching all the way, no matter...

Whether it is for him, the coach, or the tens of thousands of troops under his command, it is an extreme test.

Looking around, the hunchback was full of grain and water when we came here, and after passing through the nearly thousand miles of desert, nearly 80.00%%% was consumed.

Before the war broke out, the trek of nearly ten thousand miles consumed a huge amount of food and supplies.

Seeing this, the resolute face became even more stern.

There is no way back in this battle.

The army rested for several hours, everyone's energy and physical strength recovered, and the army set off again.

Kucha King City.

Gao Chang refused to send troops to help. Although King Qiuci was angry, he couldn't tolerate too much hesitation in the face of the coming Tang army.

As the order was issued, many soldiers and civilians retreated to the royal city one after another, preparing to fight a war of attrition with the Tang Dynasty relying on the danger of the city.

He believed that after the tens of thousands of miles of trekking, the Tang army must not have much food and grass left. As long as they can hold on, the Tang army will surely collapse without fighting.

The army advanced slowly.

The scouts in front kept sending news.

When he learned that Qiuciju was holding on to the King's City, Hou Junji showed a look of disdain on his face.

Maybe it was a difficult march, but there was a lot of rage hidden in the heart of the coach.

And this kind of rage can only be vented with the blood of the enemy.

This expedition to the west is far away, and many of them carry siege equipment, but they bring along a lot of craftsmen who are good at making engineering equipment.

Seeing the intention of the Kucha Kingdom, Hou Junji ordered the whole army to stop.

If there is a strong attack, these [-] Great Tang soldiers may be able to capture the King City of Kucha, but the time consumption and their own losses must not be small.
