Chapter 1597 The News Spread and the Capital Shook!

? Chapter 1597

"boom!"

As soon as Wang Chong's voice fell, everyone in the study was shocked, and there was a dead silence!

There is no direct affiliation between Wang Chong and An Sishun, the Chief Guard of Beiting. As Wang Chong, being able to say these words is enough to prove that he is extremely angry. The Beiting Protectorate's Mansion is responsible for frontier shortages, but such a thing happened right under An Sishun's nose, and the Beiting Protectorate's Mansion has not moved yet. This is what makes Wang Chong the most angry .

"Also, what did the imperial court say? After such a thing happened, can the imperial court act as if nothing happened?"

Wang Chong said coldly.

"In the imperial court, although the Confucianists also expressed their anger, it is said that Li Junxian wrote a letter to the Western Turkic Sabolo Khan in the name of the imperial court, severely condemning this matter, but in the imperial court, taking into account the great The overall situation of Tang and Western Turks is trying to suppress this matter. Therefore, except for the northern frontier, there is no news from the capital side for the time being."

Beside Xu Keyi, Su Shixuan bowed and said respectfully.

"Hmph, can he handle it?"

At that moment, Wang Chong's eyes were cold and fierce, and his whole body was full of killing intent.

More than 400 people were killed in the context of peace between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks. Li Junxian's reaction was to send a letter to "severely condemn", and then take the overall situation into consideration and suppress everything. Where he can never agree, he can never compromise.

Blood, only with blood to wash!

Only the pain that goes deep into the bone marrow can those unscrupulous, arrogant and tyrannical Western Turks and all the invaders learn a lesson.

"Give me an order! Disclose all the information about this matter in the capital. In addition, take the widow of that village to the capital and tell her that I already know about this matter. Before she arrives in the capital, I will Give her and the slaughtered village an explanation. In the Tang Dynasty, the Confucianism could not cover the sky, so I want to see who dares to go against me in this matter!"

In the last sentence, Taotian's killing intent shot out from Wang Chong's eyes.

"yes!"

In an instant, in the study, everyone's spirits were lifted up, and they all responded with a bang.

"Boom!"

Wang Chong's scouts distributed the collected information,

When the tragedy that happened in the far northern frontier spread in the capital, it caused an uproar in the whole capital in an instant. The impact of this incident was beyond the expectation of Wang Chong, Li Junxian, and everyone else.

"Clatter!"

In the Shaozhang Counselor's Mansion, a carrier pigeon whizzed down from the sky. In the main hall, Li Junxian was correcting the official document with a jade pen in his hand. When he received the carrier pigeon, he just opened it and glanced at it, and Li Junxian's face suddenly turned extremely pale.

But in the capital, the uproar caused by this incident is still fermenting.

"These bastards! How dare they do such a thing!"

"What about the court? Why hasn't the court moved yet?"

"Be safe and don't be impatient, I believe the court will definitely take action."

"Hey, is this a sign that the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks are about to go to war again?"

"Bastard, it's time to say something like this?"

...

In the streets and alleys, tea houses and restaurants, discussions and disputes are everywhere. This incident was a great shock and shock to the consciousness of the entire capital, and even the people of Tang Dynasty.

It even caused all the people in the capital to doubt the "world harmony" advocated by Li Junxian and Confucianism.

Before that, not only the people of the capital, but most of the Tang people were very supportive of Li Junxian and Confucianism, so Wang Chong would lose in the war between soldiers and Confucians, and "Might is Truth" was also listed as a banned book.

Everyone originally thought that as long as Datang and each Huang signed a peace agreement, the two sides would be at peace and there would be no more wars.

Without the threats from the surrounding countries of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty naturally did not need to spend a lot of money, food, and troops to fight against the countries.

For so many years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, countless soldiers died on the border. This is also the root cause of people's peace of mind and opposition to war.

However, the incident in the border area tore open a bloody hole in everyone's wishful thinking, allowing people to see clearly the essence of all this.

That peace agreement can't protect the people of Tang Dynasty at all, and the lives of four hundred people in the border area are a bloody lesson.

"Let's go! Let's go to Counselor Shaozhang, isn't he always talking about the great harmony of the world! Come with me, no matter what, we must give an explanation to those who died on the border!"

In a restaurant in the west of the city, an ordinary citizen of the capital became more and more angry as he spoke. He waved his hand suddenly and led countless ordinary people in the capital who were deeply disappointed in Confucianism towards the Shaozhang Counselor's Mansion.

In the capital, the most complicated feelings are the Hu people from all over the world. Prior to this, many Hu people had been taking advantage of Datang's policy tolerance to commit crimes and recklessly in the capital, but the occurrence of this incident made the atmosphere in the capital quickly become subtle, and many Hu people restrained a lot. Not as presumptuous as before.

"Wang Chong!"

In Shaozhang's counselor's mansion, Li Junxian smashed the memorial in his hand aside with a bang, and closed his eyes deeply listening to the voices outside the mansion.

So much information, so detailed, more detailed than what he got in the court, this point, I am afraid only Wang Chong can do it. I have to admit that Wang Chong's move really messed up his steps and made him feel overwhelmed for the first time.

How could he not be angry when something like this happened in the borderlands, how could he not be sympathetic to the people of Tang Dynasty?

However, there is no evidence for this matter from the Tang Dynasty. It is impossible for the imperial court to declare war on the Western Turks because of the horseshoe marks left by those villages. What if someone deliberately blamed it?

Countries are different from private individuals, they must pay attention to evidence, and it was dozens of Turkic cavalry who committed the tragedy. These Turkic cavalry ran to the border of the Tang Dynasty to fight the autumn wind for their own selfishness, but a small The behavior of the army does not represent the entire Western Turks!

Could it be that because more than 400 people died, a new war was started, with 4,000, 40,000, or even 400,000 casualties?

Once the relationship between the two countries deteriorates and the two sides deploy heavy troops on their respective borders, then there will be more fights, not just one village near the border, but also inland, there may be ten, hundreds, or even more Tragedy happened.

Isn't the reason why he advocates great harmony in the world to avoid such evil consequences?

It's fine if others don't know, doesn't the king of foreign lands also understand?

At this moment, Li Junxian was furious in his heart.

Not to mention Li Junxian's reaction, from the moment he decided to announce the news, Wang Chong had already made up his mind. In any case, the Western Turkic people who did these things must be given a severe lesson, so that they will always remember the consequences of doing so.

At this moment, in the study room of the Wang family's mansion, all the subordinates under Wang Chong's command gathered together.

"My lord, the positions of those cavalrymen have been identified."

Zhang Que spread out a large map of the north on the desk, and then quickly marked it with a small flag.

Influenced by Wang Chong, all soldiers and horses under Wang Chong's command are now accustomed to carrying this kind of portable "map" instead of the traditional sand table. There is even a special department under Wang Chong's command to draw maps of various countries.

"However, things have changed a little bit. The West Turkic side should have received the news. Knowing that this incident has caused a great impact in Beijing, the original 8,000-strong army has added a lot of manpower and increased to one. Wan Er."

"In addition, the Turkic frontier guards have been active recently. Every day, day and night, there are many barbarian cavalry near the Beiting Dufu Mansion. It should be worried that the Beiting Duhu Mansion will send troops to attack. Not only that, we Many disguised Hu merchants were also found around Qixi Dufu Mansion, and many carrier pigeons flew from Qixi to West Turks day and night. Now the sources of troops on both sides are being closely watched. As long as our army moves , I am afraid they will find out immediately."

"As for the Turkic army, there has been a lot of turmoil during this period, and the range of alert has been greatly increased. Even if we pass the Turkic sentry, as long as they find someone approaching, I am afraid they will immediately retreat and flee thousands of miles away."

"The current situation is very difficult. The cavalry of more than 40 people does not go out at all, and has been huddled in the camp of 12,000 people. However, there are no Turkic cavalry with more than 7,000 people who want to deal with 12,000 people. It is simply impossible to do it manually. It’s just that such a large target may have been discovered in advance hundreds of miles away.”

Su Shixuan added from the side, with a look of worry in his eyes.

For a moment, the whole room fell into silence.

All countries are paying attention to this matter now. Under such circumstances, Western Turks have also stepped up their vigilance. It is much more difficult to deal with Western Turks than people imagined.

"However, our only chance now is that the Western Turks refused to admit it, so at this pass, it is impossible to withdraw the army immediately, because that would undoubtedly mean that they did this thing. Therefore, we now There is still a chance, but not necessarily in the future. The West Turkic side will probably transfer this army away in the name of normal defense.”

Zhang Que added on the sidelines that the timing is still in his hands for the time being, and this is the only good news.

But the 12,000 regular army and the even larger Western Turkic garrison in the rear are clearly a difficult problem for everyone. If this point is not resolved, the goal of punishing the Western Turkic people cannot be achieved at all.

As soon as the voice fell, everyone looked at Wang Chong, waiting for Wang Chong's order.

"Pass me the order!"

Wang Chong closed his eyes, pondered for a long time, and finally spoke.
