Chapter 1288 Khorasan Crisis!

Chapter 1288

Li Junxian looked stern and his voice was deafening, this news also caught him by surprise. The battle in Khorasan was too sudden. If Datang sent troops, all the hard-won achievements would be in vain.

"...Besides, the relationship between Dashi and Khorasan is complicated. The Khorasan region was originally Dashi's territory, and it has been ruled by Dashi for 30 years. I suggest that this matter should be negotiated with Dashi first, to show that Dashi Tang’s position, try to resolve it in a peaceful manner.”

"Your Highness, the minister seconded the proposal!"

Almost at the same time, a minister came out from the train in the main hall, turned his eyes, and looked at Wang Chong coldly:

"Foreign King, the battle of Hengluosi and Khorasan has just ended. Didn't the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty die enough? It was just to protect the Western Regions. But now it is between Dashi and the Sasanian Dynasty War, do our warriors of the Tang Dynasty have to bleed for it? Alien King, I think you are confused, right?"

"You have also heard the voice of the people in the capital! Whoever dares to send troops now is risking the disgrace of the world! Alien king, peace in the world is hard-won, please remember, you are the prince of the Tang Dynasty, not the prince of Sasan! "

...

One civil servant after another kept coming out, and the voices of opposition became louder and louder. Not to mention civil and military affairs, even without this incident, they would never have passed. Dashi was at war with the Sassanid Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty wanted to send troops, which is simply absurd!

Wang Chong didn't speak, and looked at the generals in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but this time, even the generals flinched. If it's something else, they won't have the slightest hesitation. But now..., the voice of opposing the war in the capital is still ringing in my ears. Outside the gate of the imperial city, there are wave after wave of marchers, and there are huge crowds. Even they don't have the courage.

Seeing everyone's dodging eyes, Wang Chong seemed to understand something, and his heart suddenly became cold. What he was most worried about happened, the people were war-weary, the Confucianism's actions played a role, and even the generals in the court were unknowingly affected.

"Your Highness, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. If the skin is gone, how can the hair be attached? Khorasan is the dam that the Tang Dynasty used to resist the flood. The dam collapsed and the flood water poured down. Can the Tang Dynasty survive alone..."

Wang Chong said with a heartbroken heart. However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the First Prince:

"The king of the foreign land! The important matter of the soldier's country must be investigated. This is what you said. Let's stop this matter for the time being. Let me report to the emperor before making a decision!"

In a word,

Beat back all the words of Wang Chong.

"Everyone, let's go!"

"Congratulations to Your Highness!"

Looking at the eldest prince who stood up and left with a stern expression in the hall, Wang Chong felt empty in his heart at that moment, as if he had stepped on the ground, and fell into the depths of the endless void.

The whole journey was muddled, and Wang Chong didn't know how he left the Hall of Supreme Harmony and the palace.

"Keeping tigers is a problem, this is raising tigers to be a problem!"

"Doesn't anyone understand that after breaking through Khorasan, the next big eclipse will target Datang?"

"Khorasan is originally a powerful place of origin. If Dashi is allowed to reoccupy and given time, those Sasanians who fought against Dashi back then will turn against Datang. Dashi will be even more powerful!"

...

Countless thoughts came and went, constantly passing through his mind, Wang Chong felt as if his chest was blocked, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable. Back then in the southwest, when facing an army of hundreds of thousands, far exceeding his own, Wang Chong had never felt so uncomfortable when he knew that the situation was far from good. But the dodging eyes of those generals in the hall...

In a prosperous and peaceful world, people's minds are at peace. When, in a peaceful and prosperous world, people's hearts have collapsed to such an extent?

Carriage wheels!

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Wang Chong finally heard a familiar voice:

"My lord, the court didn't pass it, did it?"

Su Shixuan's voice came from outside, cautious and full of anxiety.

"Hiss!"

Wang Chong leaned his back against the carriage, closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and finally came back to his senses.

"At the court, it is impossible to pass!"

After a long time, Wang Chong finally spoke.

"ah!"

Outside the carriage, Su Shixuan was shaken all over, and his face paled a lot. Although it seemed that something was wrong when the lord came down to the court, Su Shixuan did not expect that the court would directly reject the proposal to send troops to Khorasan. Since then, Bahram and Princess Aditya... Su Shixuan's heart sank to the bottom of the water.

It was very quiet in the carriage.

Wang Chong didn't speak, his expression was extremely haggard. Although the First Prince said that he would wait until he reported to the Holy Emperor before making a decision, but no one understood better than Wang Chong that this sentence actually meant that it was impossible for the Great Tang to send troops for Khorasan. Without Datang's dispatch of troops, Khorasan would never have been able to withstand Dashi's continuous attacks.

Thinking of this, Wang Chong was on fire.

"Shixuan, we don't have time, prepare paper and pen, and write a few letters for me immediately."

After an unknown amount of time, Wang Chong opened his eyes and said in a deep voice.

"Subordinates obey!"

Su Shixuan bowed and said. The matter in Khorasan was no small matter. According to Wang Chong's previous instructions, everyone brought paper and pens with them when they set off, in case Wang Chong issued orders at any time.

"The first letter was sent to Gao Xianzhi and Gao Duhu in Anxi, asking him to mobilize 40% of the army, and to send Cheng Qianli, Lou Shiyi, Xi Yuanqing, the Tiebi Army, and the Modao team in training, and let them patrol the border. Go to Samarkand in the name of the army, and then set off at night to support Khorasan. I will let Lord Zhangchou of the Ministry of War deploy three thousand crossbow carts to cooperate with him."

Wang Chong said in a deep voice.

"Yes, my lord!"

The speed of the carriage slowed down significantly, and the rustling sound of brush writing could be heard next to his ears. Su Shixuan quickly started writing according to Wang Chong's instructions.

"The second letter is for Su Hanshan and Li Siye in Qixi."

The more critical the moment, the calmer Wang Chong's voice became. With the help of Wang Chong and Zhangchou Jianqiong's activities in the court, Su Hanshan and Li Siye were finally released, and because of this incident, their prestige in the army was greatly improved, and even the three Confucian commanders were now acting They all converged a lot.

"Tell them to transfer all the black-scarred cavalry and go to Khorasan immediately. Also tell them to erase the black-scarred cavalry in the army and restore their freedom."

"ah?!"

Hearing this sentence, Su Shixuan's brush paused, and a look of shock suddenly appeared on his face. But soon, Su Shixuan understood what was happening, and quickly lowered his head:

"Yes, my lord!"

Of all the subordinates under Wang Chong's command, only the Wushang cavalry is the most special. Their combat power far surpasses other armies, and even the Mamluk cavalry are not their opponents. But even though Wang Chong brought them to Dashi together with the Qixi Guards during the battle between Talas and Khorasan, the Wushang cavalry did not belong to the Qixi Guards

After the war, they were also planned to be included in the regular army, but the number of Wushang cavalry was huge, and they did not belong to any guard army, so the incorporation into the regular army has not been fully completed until now. If they want to support Khorasan, this is probably the most powerful fighting force on Wang Chong's side.

The speed of the carriage was getting slower and slower, and in the end, it was probably not much faster than walking. Outside the carriage, the rustling sound of writing never stopped, one letter, two letters, Su Shixuan wrote according to Wang Chong's instructions at an extremely fast speed.

"The third letter, help me inform the King of Gunk in the Western Regions! Let him go to the countries of the Western Regions to recruit soldiers and horses in my name, and tell the chiefs of the tribes that this cooperation will continue as usual, and they will get enough rewards from me !"

One order after another was continuously issued from Wang Chong, and his expression became more and more calm. Outside the carriage, Su Shixuan kept responding, writing vigorously.

"The last letter, write for me to the Emperor Caliph Mutashim III of Dashi..."

Wang Chong said.

Hearing this sentence, Su Shixuan was startled, and a look of astonishment could not help showing on his face. It is understandable to write letters to Gao Xianzhi and Su Hanshan, and to erase the establishment of Wushang Iron Cavalry in the army, but Su Shixuan never thought that Wang Chong's last letter was written to the Caliph of the Great Food Emperor. Convince the Caliphate to withdraw his troops voluntarily? !

But Wang Chong didn't know what Su Shixuan was thinking, he was lost in thought.

"Tell Mutasim III, let him withdraw his troops immediately, tell him that it is reciprocal, if he refuses to retreat, I will personally send troops to take Baghdad in the future. In addition, tell him that if the city of Khorasan is broken and the city of Dashi is destroyed, the same will be done. The same thing will happen to the big cannibal!"

In the last sentence, Wang Chong's voice was extremely cold.

Su Shixuan was startled, and suddenly understood. The mountains are high and the road is far away, the distance between Datang and Dashi is more than ten thousand miles, and the court's decision has been delayed. What everyone has to consider now is probably not how to save Khorasan, but to think about how to save Khorasan if the city is destroyed. Then comes the revenge of Dashi.

At the beginning, the Datang and Angra heavy cavalry united and killed nearly a million Dashi cavalry. For Dashi, this was definitely a blood feud, and according to Dashi's consistent style, after breaking the city, it is likely to massacre the city. Wang Chong's last words were obviously intended to prevent this scene from happening.

With the cannibal's sturdy character, it is obviously impossible to intimidate them with a letter, but if this person is Wang Chong, everything will be completely different. If Wang Chong can kill nearly a million cavalry cavalry, he will be able to kill more cavalry troops, including Tucheng.

This letter is not just a deterrent or intimidation, but a real threat.

——Wang Chong is absolutely capable of realizing everything he said!

After saying the last sentence, Wang Chong seemed to have exhausted all his strength. He leaned his back against the carriage, with a deep tiredness on his face. Outside the carriage, the rustling sound could be heard endlessly. When several letters were written, there was only a clattering sound, and the hawks quickly flew in all directions with these letters.
