Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 320 All parties prepare for war
"Emissary Cui came here on behalf of the Shi Kingdom, isn't it just to remind the king? He has a purpose and purpose." Qu Wentai, as the leader of a country, is of course not a fool. asked.

"The Great Tang's business in the Western Regions made us Zhaowu and the nine surnames have to go further afield to earn wealth. It can be said that we have suffered heavy losses. Everyone is a victim, so naturally we should share the same hatred." In order to disrupt Datang's arrangements in the Western Regions, a situation in Gaochang naturally fell into their eyes, and they immediately sent people to agitate it.

"Same hatred? What plans do you have, everyone should be open and honest. If you can cooperate, the king will naturally be happy." Qu Wentai sat down and took a glass of wine and said fiercely.

"Datang has a lot of merchants in the Western Regions, and they have a lot of wealth. Moreover, they don't have many troops in the Western Regions, but thousands of people. Together, we can occupy more cities. There is no need to look at Datang. ” Cui Meng persuaded with a three-inch tongue.

"Hehe! If Tang Dynasty is angered and sent troops to attack, no one can resist it. It depends on you waiting for a few countries, and you are still the king's Gaochang. Don't think about using me as a spearman." Qu Wentai sneered.

"Why should the Lord be angry? Of course there will be a detailed plan. As long as we make a move, several places will attack Datang. Moreover, the Western Regions are far away from Datang. It is difficult for them to supply supplies. It is impossible to attack on a large scale. As long as the desert passage is cut off, almost What fear do thousands of horses have?

Not to mention whether it can be defended, I am afraid that Datang will not be able to attack at all. " Cui Meng analyzed.

"Your country only needs to attack Yanqi, hold back the Tang army, wait for the rest of the big army to encircle and destroy the Tang army, and then attack the other small countries together.

We guarantee that we will never occupy a city, and it will belong to you. " Cui Tao said respectfully, he praised Qu Wentai highly, and put Gaochang first in his tone.

"Okay! My king immediately assembles the army and prepares for war, but you must first attack the [-] Tang troops stationed in Cheshi in Kucha. My king will immediately attack Yanqi and hold back the escort team." Qu Wentai slapped the table hard and said. .

What Qu Wentai said was the layout of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions. The Western Regions were small and the people were few, and food was the most important material. Generally, small countries could not support too many troops. The Tang Dynasty had [-] permanent soldiers.

After discussing with Qiuci and Che Shi, they sold them a lot of goods at a low price. The two countries will provide food and grass, and the Tang army will also provide them with some protection. Currently, this army is led by Su Dingfang.

Of course, it is impossible for Datang's army to completely entrust the logistics to others. The caravan has already secretly reserved part of it, which can at least guarantee the army's food and grass for one month as a backup. In other words, there are two small countries secretly controlled by the Yuchi family and the Cheng family. But it will not be exposed unless it is necessary. Feng Daiwen has never seen Cheng Chuliang, the second child of the Cheng family, and has been secretly controlling the Western Regions.

In addition, the [-] cavalry escorting the caravan each time, this team is escorted by Xue Rengui, Cheng Chumo, and Yuchi Baolin in turns.

"Don't worry, my lord. Our army is forcing Qiuci, and the chariots dare not move rashly, and immediately besieged the Tang army. It is not too late for you to start. It will take time to gather manpower. It will be in September. Get ready and kill them by surprise. " Cui Meng raised his hands and said fiercely.

"Okay! Haha! Then the king will wait for the good news!" Qu Wentai said happily as he sipped the wine in his glass and laughed.

…………

"Patriarch, the matter is settled. Qu Wentai has agreed to attack Yanqi and hold back the Tang army!" Cui Meng saluted Cui Run, the new head of the Cui family in the Western Regions, in a private house.

"Very good! The third brother has contacted the Turkic people to attack the Tang Dynasty together, leaving Li Shimin with no time to care about the Western Regions. As long as we wipe out the Tang Army in the Western Regions and take down a few small countries, we can establish our own country and make the Cui family great!" Cui Run clenched his fist and said with a flushed face.

This is the true purpose of the Cui family - to build a country!There are all the countries that can be lured to hold back Datang, or even destroy it, and then establish a country in the Western Regions. As for revenge, it is incidental. This game of chess involves dozens of countries and tribes in the world, which is not insignificant.

"The head of the family is wise! The Cui family is the number one family in the world!" Cui Meng is also very supportive of this plan. In the eyes of their young people, this is what the Cui family should do. Escaping is a failure. After leaving Datang, they Just ignore the older generation, and only want to strengthen the Cui family and build their own country.

"Li Shimin is fighting with other countries, and we sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. The Western Regions are in chaos and there are many small countries. As long as we can unify the Western Regions and return to the Central Plains, we will be ashamed. The family! There should only be the Boling Cui family." Cui Runchu With a rough breath, lowered his voice, and said harshly.

…………

Since the imperial court knew that someone would collude with other races and make waves, they would naturally not be unprepared. Li Shimin, Fang Du, Changsun Wuji, Li Jing, Li Ji, Feng Daiwen and others studied for several days.

One thousand elephant soldiers from Lingnan were secretly transferred to Longyou Road. Xue Rengui and Yuchi Baolin brought three thousand Khitan cavalry pretending to be businessmen into the Western Regions, and brought a lot of weapons and equipment. They planned to recruit five thousand soldiers for training.

The strongest [-] Japanese slaves were recruited to form a death squad. They have already entered Shuofang, trained by Zhang Gongjin, and usually help with some chores. Anyway, they are used as livestock, but they live a good life. I promise them that as long as they survive three battles, they will die. Become the regular army of Datang.

The Nanyang countries also recruited [-] miscellaneous troops, who are training in Linyi. They will be the forwards to attack Pyu and Tianzhu from Chenla in the future.

Similarly, the various prefectures of the Tang Dynasty are also selecting young and strong to join the army, including the slang, sultry, Nanman, Shanyue and other people from Lingnan, Shuzhong, Jiangnan and other places. , so there are not a few people from ethnic minorities who enlist in the army.

Similarly, when Feng Daiwen returned to western Liaoning, he also shouldered the task of Zeng Bing. Fortunately, Khitan and Turks in western Liaoning were in the plan to increase their troops.

A big country, a big rich country, entered the pre-war preparations, and the power of the explosion was quite huge. Even if it was all done secretly, it still acted very quickly.

More iron ore was turned into weapons and equipment, and surplus food from the people was also secretly purchased and turned into military rations for storage. This did not cause market fluctuations, and everything was done in secret, for fear of leaking the news and causing trouble.
