Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 328 Multinational Invasion
"The situation is not good. Gao Chang actually made a move. He was defeated by the younger brother in a surprise attack, and he summoned some reinforcements. It's only a few days late. What to do now, I need Brother Su to pay attention." Yuchi Baolin introduced Su Dingfang seriously. Condition.

"So that's how it is!" Only then did Su Dingfang understand why Yuchi Baolin had only arrived now, and he had guessed that he must be in trouble, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.

"Let Yanqi go back, guard their city, tell them the king, contact them in time if there is a situation, Tang will protect him, and then send out his hands, notify all merchants, inquire about the situation in the Western Regions, contact Hu merchants, and let people hide in their team , Pass the news back to Chang'an.

We collect supplies, food, bows and arrows, hold here, wait for the imperial order, or wait for information, and make a decision. " Su Dingfang frowned stubbornly, thought for a long time, and then said.

"Brother Su has a good idea, I will do as you said, and I will arrange it right away." Yuchi Baolin was originally a careful person, but Su Dingfang was the chief official of the Western Regions, so he naturally had to listen to him.

…………

At the time of the chaos in the Western Regions, Cui Tao also talked about mobilizing Siyehu Khan in the Western Turks. Regardless of the obstruction of Mohe and Ashina, he was forced to bring ten Turkic surnames and 30 troops to attack Longyou road.

Ashina and Li Shimin are sworn brothers. They have been to Chang'an many times, so they naturally understand the prosperity and strength of the Tang Dynasty, but this time they have no choice but to follow the attack. One reason is that Si Yehu was supported by him personally, no matter what. He couldn't get away with it, and secondly, it was Cui Tao's plan that moved him, because at the same time, Tuyuhun sent [-] troops to Jiannan Road.

Si Yehu was naturally very happy that Ashina was willing to send troops, and asked him to lead one hundred thousand soldiers of his clan to attack the Shuofang Grassland, intending to form a partial division and take the opportunity to take back Yinshan to the Shuofang generation.

Not long after the Western Turks dispatched troops, Xue Yantuo Yinan Khan dispatched 15 soldiers and horses from the whole family to attack the newly developed Wubao by Datang at the foot of Yinshan Mountain.

Not long after Tuyuhun sent troops, Tubo also moved. 20 troops descended from the plateau and went straight to Songzhou.

Tubo is now Songtsan Gampo who has just come to power. He is only 14 years old now, and with the help of the Prime Minister Gar Dongzan, he is unifying the tribes in various places.

In the past few years, Datang has continuously sold liquor, porcelain, and silk to the plateau in exchange for a large amount of wheat, highland barley, yaks, horses, sheep, wool, goat milk, etc., making the life of the plateau tribal leaders luxurious and the common people’s lives It was even more difficult, and it also helped Songtsen Gampo to speed up the pace of unification.

Up to now, most of the areas have been unified, and it is precisely because Datang constantly exchanged materials and sold luxury goods from the plateau, which made life more difficult for most people. Gar Dongzan saw this and persuaded Songtsen Gampo , send troops to Songzhou to ease domestic pressure, and can also rob the wealthy Datang.

Fortunately, Datang has been preparing for more than half a year, and Tan Ma keeps an eye on various places at any time. With the help of binoculars, not only are there spies pretending to be businessmen in all countries, but there are also Tan Ma with binoculars on the high mountains that must pass through, double insurance.

Not long after the countries dispatched troops, the beacon smoke had been lit, representing haste, and three beams of wolf smoke from the attack shot up into the sky. The beacon smoke is the fastest way to spread now, and it can be clearly seen for dozens of miles.

Along the way, beacon smoke was constantly being ignited. In just an hour, the beacon smoke from Longshouyuan was also lit. The position had already been fixed, and the meaning of the sign was very clear.

The Jingyang Bell rang 36 times in a row, resounding through Chang'an City, causing countless insiders to change their faces. When the Jingyang Bell rang for the first time, many ministers were already preparing to enter the palace. They silently counted the number of times before stepping out of the palace. .

The 36 rings are second only to the 81 rings of the Daqing Festival and the [-] rings of the National Memorial. It represents an emergency. All the civil officials of the seventh rank and above in Chang'an City will enter the palace to participate in politics in half an hour. The generals need to be on duty immediately. The whole army prepares for war.

After the 36th sound of the Jingyang Bell, the drums of the garrison near Chang'an City sounded at the same time.

Countless people don't know the meaning of the 36 Jingyang bells, but there is no adult in Jujianggu. Countless young people who were working or shopping put down their work and rushed home.

These are not-on-duty government soldiers, as well as elite soldiers on vacation. With the help of their wives and children, they took weapons and set off for their respective camps. Because the government soldiers wanted to maintain local law and order and train villagers, their weapons, armor, and war horses were all at home. The imperial court will compensate the money and food for raising war horses, so they all need to bring all the equipment. On the contrary, those who only carry weapons are all elite soldiers. They only carry weapons because the war horses and armor they use are all the best, and they need to be reared by special personnel. Bringing weapons home is also convenient for training at any time.

As a result, there were countless crowds hurrying home and armed to the teeth in the streets and alleys, hurrying back and forth.

Marquis Wu of the left and right were also all dispatched, patrolling the streets with knives in hand, in case someone caused trouble. You must know that most people just patrol the streets with sticks, but the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Half an hour later, the Tai Chi Hall was full of people. More than 1000 officials of all sizes filled the hall. Even outside the hall, there were many officials lined up in an orderly manner. Although there were many people, they were all serious and silent.

Li Shimin stepped into the hall on time half an hour after the bell rang, and sat upright.

"See my emperor, my emperor Shengan!"

"Everyone's family is exempt from courtesy, and they are flat!"

Although the situation is urgent, the etiquette cannot be broken, and everything will continue as usual.

"Report to Your Majesty! The fire at the frontier is urgently reported that the Western Turks, Xue Yantuo, and Tuyuhun have all dispatched troops, and their fronts are directed at the Tang Dynasty. The exact number and purpose are unknown." Although Li Shimin already knew about it, Li Jing still went out to play.

"According to the regulations, if soldiers under [-] invade, they are not allowed to use the wolf smoke emergency report. It seems that the enemy is approaching menacingly! Does the Ministry of War have arrangements!" Li Shimin asked cooperatively.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Longyou Dao is guarded by Rencheng County King Li Daozong, who has [-] elite soldiers stationed there, and can summon [-] government soldiers and [-] elephant soldiers in a short time.

Hetao County was guarded by Zhang Gongjin, Duke of Tan Guo, the governor of Anxi. He also had [-] elite soldiers, [-] Huihe cavalry, and Shuofang County in the rear had [-] elite soldiers, led by General Xue Wanche, Duke of the county.

Yinshan County has 20 elite soldiers from Su Guogong Cheng Zhijie. At the same time, the Wang family, Zheng family and other aristocratic families can form [-] soldiers.

Youzhou's [-] elite soldiers can also provide support at any time. At the same time, Xue Rengui and [-] cavalry are on the Longyou Road.

Jiannan Road is guarded by Chen Guogong Hou Junji with [-] elite soldiers, and Jiannan Road can call up [-] government soldiers.

The Ministry of War suggested sending [-] troops to Guannei Road, and after the situation is ascertained, soldiers and horses will be sent to support the front. "Li Jing replied loudly.
