Chapter 1026: The Great Tang Sends Troops!
Chapter 1026
The matter of the Holy Emperor is no small matter, but it is always difficult for the two of them to accept that the boy will send troops to help him just because of a letter.
"Hey, blackmail? You guys think too highly of that kid."
Zhang Shougui smiled:
"Soldiers are naturally going to be sent out, but it's not necessarily because of that kid. Zhao Kan, Bai Zhenduoluo, please remember that the competition between generals is not only about the realm and strength of martial arts, but also the demeanor of being a general. We Can the Anton Guards still lose to a brat?"
"Didn't that kid send a letter asking us to support him with four thousand soldiers? Zhao Kan, Bai Zhenduoluo, you choose six thousand elites for me, and report back to the court, saying that although I, Zhang Shougui, am in Youzhou, my heart is attached to the court. Sheji, is willing to draw out 6,000 soldiers and horses to support Talas!"
In the last sentence, Zhang Shougui squinted his eyes, and slammed his right hand on the table, his voice sounded meaningful.
Zhao Kan and Bai Zhentuoluo were stunned. At first they still looked puzzled, but after all they had followed Zhang Shougui for many years, they quickly realized it.
If Zhang Shougui directly sends 6,000 troops to Wang Chong, it is a private matter between them. Be loyal to the Holy Emperor. Although this matter started because of a letter from Wang Chong, it has nothing to do with Wang Chong now.
Not only that, the two even thought of a deeper level. Talas is now in a deep crisis. If the Anton Guards are the first to respond and send reinforcements at this time, then no matter whether the battle of Talas is won or lost in the future, the Anton Guards will remain invincible. He also proved his loyalty to the court.
This turns passive into active.
In addition, my lord has always wanted to become the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, but the greatest resistance is the virtuous prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Jiugong. If you help Taros at this time, maybe you can reduce the resistance for the adults in the future.
"Yes! I will understand in the end!"
"This subordinate will do it!"
...
Zhang Shougui was not the only one among the Six Protectors of the Tang Dynasty who received a letter from Talas. In Beiting Dufu's mansion, all the generals gathered together, Beiting Dadu An Sishun was handsome and handsome, sitting at the top of the main hall.
"Have you read Gao Xianzhi's letter?"
An Sishun closed his eyes slightly,
His eyes, like thunder, swept across His Highness's generals.
"Master Protector, please forgive me. Among all the frontiers, although we have the most troops in Beiting, we guard the longest border and face the most enemies. Apart from the Western Turkic Khanate, we must be on guard* Jue Khanate, the combined strength of the two countries is close to one million! Moreover, if Gao Xianzhi needs ordinary soldiers, it’s fine, but what he wants is our most elite Beiting Longxiang Army. Our Beiting The Duhu Mansion has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, but the Longxiang Army only has a few thousand? So the last general thinks that this matter must never be agreed to!"
"Lord Protector, the last general thinks it's impossible. Although the Longyang Army is precious, the situation in Talas is no small matter. This time, the Dashi Empire west of Congling is coming in menacingly. If Gao Xianzhi and the others can't resist the Dashiren. Then the next step , our Beiting Protectorate Army will be the first to bear the brunt. At that time, it will not be a matter of thousands of dragon troops. Helping the Anxi Protectorate Army is actually helping ourselves. Your lips are dead and your teeth are cold!"
"That's right! In addition to the cannibal Tansiluo, there is also Du Wusili, the Western Turkic Sirius General, who is a strong enemy of our Northern Court Guard. Sending the Dragon Army to deal with Du Wusili is actually helping us !"
"Absurd! Have you seen the memorial of Gao Xianzhi and the others? The big cannibals will have an army of 400,000 sweeping in, and Gao Xianzhi and the others will not be able to stop them. At the end of the day, Taros will eventually fall. At this time, they still send Long Xiang The army went over, are you going to die?"
...
In the hall, voices of opposition and support erupted one after another, and the debate was extremely fierce. An Sishun sat on top with his eyes closed, motionless, just silently listening to everyone's arguments, no one knew what was going on in his mind. However, at this moment——
"Report!"
Da da da, there was a sound of hurried footsteps from outside. Outside the gate, a messenger from Beiting Dufu mansion quickly came from outside the hall with a letter in his hand.
"A letter from Talas! Please read it, my lord!"
Hum, upon hearing these words, the entire hall fell into dead silence for an instant. Gao Xianzhi just sent a letter, why is there another letter at this time?
"Bring me the letter!"
A majestic voice suddenly sounded from the hall, An Sishun opened his eyes, and a terrifying light burst out from them. An Sishun took the letter from the messenger and tore it open with a sneer. An Sishun just glanced at it, and immediately his body trembled slightly, a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes, and he sat up straight suddenly.
"Hmph, interesting, Wang Chong, you really proposed a good deal that I can't refuse!"
...
Longxi, Big Dipper City.
This important town in the western part of the Tang Dynasty has completely restored its former prosperity. The entire city has been completely renovated, and it is still so magnificent. Under the management of the Beidou Army, the city has completely erased the traces of the past wars. But at this moment, Beidou City was heavily guarded, except for the patrolling soldiers, there were almost no figures of Beidou army generals on the wall.
"You have all read the letter from the young man, do you have any thoughts?"
In the main hall of the Beidou City, Ge Shuhan was sitting on top, and His Highness was bustling with people, all of whom were the backbone generals of the Beidou Army, row by row, row by row, in a clear array, but they were all thinking about something, and the atmosphere was dignified.
"General, the battle in Talas is tight. Now the safety of the entire Anxi and Qixi is tied there. The subordinates are worried that if the Anxi and Qixi guards can't defend, it will be our Beidou army's turn next." !"
"My lord, my subordinates suggest that our Big Dipper Army go north immediately, follow up Talas, join forces with Anxi and Qixi, and join forces to deal with Dashi!"
"Impossible! If we move away, what will the people of Longxi do? Don't forget, there are thousands of miles of fertile land here. If the Uzbek Tibetans take the opportunity to go eastward and massacre, we will win but lose, and it will be extremely humiliating. And the Anxi Guards Well-equipped and long-term conquest, the combat power is not weaker than ours. If the Anxi Protectorate Army can't deal with it, can our Beidou Army easily deal with it? What's more, it has 400,000 soldiers and horses!"
...
In the hall, the generals of the Big Dipper expressed their opinions, but unlike others, the Beidou army considered whether they should move northward, advance into Talas, join Anxi and Qixi, and jointly fight against the cavalry. Humiliated, the Longbei Dou Army has experienced several generations of generals, and what they have experienced and seen is much farther than ordinary people.
Moreover, the Beidou Army is relatively closest to Talas, Qixi, and Anxi, and has received the most news and felt the most serious threat. Therefore, considering the problem, it is completely different from other Protectorate Houses.
Ge Shuhan was in the hall, listening to the generals' discussion, his brows became tighter and tighter. Suddenly, his eyes passed over a military general who was bowing his head in thought, and Ge Shuhan's heart moved, and he suddenly asked:
"Si Li, what do you think?"
Greedy wolf general Wang Sili is one of Ge Shuhan's seven great generals. His father is Wang Qianwei. And Wang Sili served two generals, the God of War in the Tang Dynasty, Wang Zhongsi and Ge Shuhan.
"My lord, Wu Si Zang's two generals Huoshu Guizang and Dusong Mang Buzhi all went north, and the soldiers and horses of the entire Wu Si Zang were also under the attack of the young man, and they went to two. In addition, our Beidou Army has been conquering for many years. , Uzang is strong outside Tibet, but in fact there are not many soldiers and horses available. The only ones to fear are the soldiers and horses of the Yajuelong royal family, the troops guarding the capital of the king, and a white lion general Xinuoluo Gonglu. "
Wang Sili lowered his head, with a deep and wise light flowing in his eyes:
"However, the considerations of the generals are not unreasonable. Longxi is an important place for us to garrison. If we dispatch troops without authorization, we will disobey the imperial court's order. If something goes wrong, we cannot bear the consequences. But the general thinks that Talas There is no need for support, and under the condition of ensuring the safety of Longxi, we can send as many troops as possible to support the north."
"The subordinates believe that we can take the initiative to seek war before dispatching troops, turn passive into active, and weaken Wu Sizang's strength first. As long as the situation in Longxi is stable, we will dispatch troops to support Talas. In addition, the young man said in the letter, As long as we send out 2,000 of the most elite Shenwu troops. The general thinks that this number can be increased to 3,000, and another 3,000 elites will be deployed to help the Anxi and Qixi guards as much as possible. After all, They are actually fighting for us!"
"But our Big Dipper Army has only 20,000 to 30,000 people in total. If we take out 7,000 soldiers, and Wu Sizang counterattacks at this time, how can we resist?"
As soon as Wang Sili's voice fell, a general objected sharply. The Beidou Army has been pursuing a policy of elite soldiers since Wang Zhongsi, so in the Longxi area, the Beidou Army has always used the least number of troops to fight the most opponents. The reason is still debated.
"It's not that difficult."
Hearing this sentence, Wang Sili laughed instead:
"The 7,000 troops we have deployed to the north can be replenished from the Xiang army in Longxi. With adults in charge and generals to cooperate, there will be no mistakes. Moreover, the Xiang army in Longxi is our reserve. Beidou Now that the army has been established, it is time to give them a chance and at the same time replenish fresh blood."
Unlike others, Wang Sili seemed quite relaxed.
"this……"
All the generals in the hall looked at each other in dismay. Everyone was going to refute, but after careful consideration, what Wang Sili said was not unreasonable, and this was indeed a feasible solution at present, so the hall suddenly fell silent.
Ge Shuhan sat on the top, his gaze was like lightning, and he slowly swept across the generals, and soon he had an idea in his mind.
"Si Li, just do as you say."
