Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

"Since the whole world is an enemy, you don't have to bear it any longer. I don't care what thoughts you have in your mind, let me let it go now! The three provinces quickly drafted an order. My Great Tang declares war on these 27 countries. This war will never end! I will also personally conquer!"

Chapter 913 Soldiers have deceitful ways

Chang'an City, and even the whole of Guanzhong, became jittery because of a statement issued by the three provinces.

The suffocating sense of oppression is getting bigger and bigger, and ordinary people can feel it clearly.

Overnight, Datang seemed to become the enemy of the whole world.

Since the Liu family re-took the Silk Road, people's understanding of the Western Regions has deepened.

People probably know that the Western Regions refer to the large area of ​​land west of Yumen Pass and east of Congling.

The vast territory is still slightly better than the Tang Dynasty!

That place was even more chaotic than the Warring States Period in the Central Plains.

The endless wars have created the wolf nature of the people in the Western Regions.

After His Majesty the Tang Dynasty declared war on the 27 countries at the same time, people suddenly realized that the foreign merchants that could be seen on every street in Chang'an City had disappeared at some point!

Everything seems to have been premeditated!

Among these 27 countries, a large part are small and inconspicuous countries.

Even Gao Chang was not regarded by Datang.

Tianzhu, Tuyuhun, and Tubo are the confidants of Datang!

However, the names of the countries in the Western Regions are really nonsense.

Coupled with the lack of understanding, the common people even thought that Tianzhu and other countries were all within the scope of the Western Regions.

So that no one pays attention to it, a completely unfamiliar name that is not prominent in the call to action.

Great food!

The official residence of the three provinces, Zhongshu Sheng!

The chief officials of Shangshu Province and Menxia Province have arrived.

More than half of the six books came.

The chief officials of Shaofu Prison, Jiangzuo Prison, and Honglu Temple also came together one after another.

Everyone sat in a circle, bowing their heads and thinking tacitly.

Tread-tap-

Footsteps from far to near.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other bigwigs who were included in the prime minister's position were long overdue.

"There is only one stick of incense time, everyone hurry up!"

Fang Xuanling's first sentence announced the urgency of time.

too busy!

All officials in Guannei Road are not allowed to take a rest, because they are too busy.

Declaring war on 27 countries at the same time, the work that needs to be done behind it is simply unimaginable.

Moreover, His Majesty's plan to conquest in person is a good way to boost morale for the frontline, but it is a heavy burden for the rear.

There are so many things to prepare.

For this reason, several bigwigs from the three provinces didn't even go to Chai Lingwu's wedding.

"let's start!"

After taking his seat, Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice.

After August, Li Jing became Minister of the Ministry of War again.

At this moment, he is also present.

Even if Li Er, Fang Xuanling and others look down on Li Jing any more, they still have to rely on him now.

The title of Great Tang Army God was not given for nothing.

The coach of this war must be Li Er himself.

As for the candidate for the deputy commander, Li Jing is likely to be the candidate!

"According to His Majesty's wishes, Guanneidao needs to mobilize at least [-] troops, but it can be urgently mobilized. I'm afraid it won't be enough for a while. What I mean is that the shortage will be filled by the twelve guards!"

Du Ruhui knew more about military affairs than Fang Xuanling, and asked: "The twelve guards shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending Chang'an, what should you do?"

Li Jing stood up and walked aside.

Everyone got up one after another and came to the sand table in the middle of Zhongshu's mansion!

The habit of building sand tables was handed down from the academy's military academy, and now it has spread to the entire army.

"Look, everyone, the pass is next to Longyou, and troops from Chang'an City East Camp can reach Longyou in just four days. When Longyou is in urgent need, the Twelve Guards are the best candidates!"

"However, the responsibility of defending Chang'an cannot be relaxed. Hexi is in a hurry. If the enemy breaks through the Hexi Corridor, the cavalry can drive straight in and point their swords at Chang'an! Therefore, this officer believes that this part of the troops should be dispatched to the Hexi Corridor to defend against the enemy!"

When everyone looked at the direction Li Jing was pointing at, their pupils suddenly shrank!

Fang Xuanling said coldly: "You let a group of aliens come to defend Chang'an City?"

What Li Jing was referring to was a mountainous area.

Only the few high-level officials in the imperial court knew that there were nearly 6 horses hidden there.

Without exception, they are all alien captives captured from the Goguryeo battlefield!

"Soldiers have tricky ways, and there is no way to use any urgent situation!"

Li Jing said firmly.

Several bigwigs from the three provinces looked at each other.

Gao Shilian said in a deep voice: "The old man will arrange it now!"

After speaking, he left in a hurry.

Fang Xuanling continued to ask: "Jiannan Road is adjacent to Tuyuhun and Tubo, and the border is in a hurry. The enemy army is nearly 15 Chen soldiers. Where is the chief marching officer of Jiannan Road?!"

Li Ji stood out from the crowd.

He is the new Chief Chief of the Jiannan Road March.

Although he is not the deputy commander in chief, his pressure and power are no less than that of Li Jing.

"Jiannan Daofu soldiers persisted for half a month, which is more than enough. Guizhouzhong, Shannan, Jiangnan, and Lingnan Daofu soldiers will be assembled in two days, enough to rush to the border towns. Only the deployment of armaments is worrying. Enough civilians must be recruited from the three provinces!"

Fang Xuanling nodded upon hearing this.

Now, recruiting civilian husbands has become the easiest thing.

The Tang Dynasty is the enemy of the whole world, and the common people are more angry than the court.

In Chang'an alone, nearly [-] people were called to become husbands!

Of course, the main reason is that there is money to get it.

The treasury is full and the granaries are overflowing!

Even if the country does not produce money or food, the royal treasury alone is enough to support this war!

A lot of money and a solid accumulation are Datang's biggest cards!

It is also the reason why Datang is full of confidence from top to bottom.

Although transporting the ordnance was a bit more troublesome, Fang Xuanling didn't want these details to become a trouble for the generals of the army.

After a stick of incense, the chief officials of the yamen of each division continued to stay in the mansions of the three provinces to discuss the military situation.

Fang Xuanling and others, together with Li Jing and Li Ji, the two most powerful military generals, left in a hurry.

They did not go to any official residence again.

Instead, he went straight out of the palace and came to Yuewang Mansion in Chongrenfang!

Li Tai had already been waiting outside the door.

Seeing the crowd coming, he led them inside without saying a word.

In the secret room in the deepest part of Taiji.

Under an extremely huge map, two people were discussing something softly.

One is Li Er, and the other is Chai Lingwu, the newlywed Jinwu Guard who joined the army the day before yesterday!

"See Your Majesty!"

Everyone bowed their hands and saluted.

Li Er waved his hand and said: "At least now, I have a preliminary understanding of the country called 'Dashi'."

After speaking, he glanced at Chai Lingwu and sat down immediately.

There was no expression on Chai Lingwu's face.

He pointed to the country on the map, which is four thousand miles away from Datang, and said: "From the current information, it is certain that the mastermind behind the chaos in the Western Regions is the Great Food Kingdom! For this reason, they at least It has been in preparation for a year!"

Chapter 914 This is Li Er's biggest gamble in his life

"This news must be kept tightly sealed. Now our soldiers and people only know that the enemy is the countries of the Western Regions, at most plus Tubo and other places. If they know, our enemy is no less than my Tang Dynasty. A huge monster will definitely seriously affect morale!"

Fang Xuanling said with a serious face.

Since Li Er came to the throne, all the foreign wars launched by the Tang Dynasty have never been defeated!

All of this is based on the understanding of the enemy.

In order to attack the Turks, Li Er had already started preparations before the Weishui alliance.

When Datang's hidden stake split Jieli's nephew Tushi Khan into Turkic tribes, the Datang army immediately attacked!

With the momentum of thunder, hit all the way to the north of Yinshan Mountain!

The same goes for attacking Goguryeo.

After the death of the Goguryeo veteran Ulji Mundeok, with Gao Tan as the internal response, the Tang army is invincible!

But no one knows about Dashi

The only inside information I know was brought back by Xuanzang in the second year of Zhenguan.

Even Du Que of the Liu family caravan did not dare to go deep into Dashi.

"Tell me what we know now."

Li Er said lightly.

Chai Lingwu took a deep breath, and said: "Qingque and Huangchao are still collecting and summarizing the information they have collected, and there must be more news soon, but now, what we know is only limited to the enemy's name and It's just the quantity."

He pointed to the map, the border of the Western Regions, that is, the area around Congling, where it meets Dashi.

"Yousuf, the Eastern governor of Dashi, led an army of 15 and is about to cross Congling. Looking at the surrounding terrain, the only place they can choose to garrison is the north of Congling, please see!"

Chai Lingwu drew a small circle on the map.

Everyone looked at it.

Fang Xuanling and others have already conducted in-depth research on the topography of the Western Regions.

In the battle plan formulated by the Ministry of War, the opinions of several big men from the three provinces can play a role in influencing the battle situation.

"Stone Country?"

Chai Lingwu nodded, and said: "That's right, Shi Guo is one of the nine surnames of Zhaowu. The only place that can accommodate 15 soldiers and supply them with food and grass is the old Shi Guo land north of Congling. We have specifically asked Xuan Master Zang, the locals call this land Hengluos!"

Du Ruhui is both literate and military, and his understanding of military affairs is far superior to that of Fang Xuanling and others.

Holding the ruler, he stepped forward and made a few gestures, and couldn't help but gasped.

"More than 5000 miles! It is more than 5000 miles from Chang'an City!"

Chai Lingwu said with a gloomy face: "Perhaps, farther!"
