Chapter 2120 Taishi Reappears!

"Haha, the reason why Dalu Qinling did not express his position is simply because he was worried about losing the initiative in the alliance, or he felt that he was not sure that he could defeat the Tang Dynasty. As for Shabolo Khan"

When Gao Shang said this, he paused, and a strange look flashed across his eyes.

"I'm afraid this person is really scared out of his wits by Wang Chong. The Heavenly Wolf Cavalry of the Western Turkic Khanate died in the battle, and Agudulan also died in the hands of Wang Chong. The most important thing is that Dashi, who is much more powerful than the Western Turkic Khanate, They were all destroyed in the hands of Wang Chong. Shabolo Khan is now a shadow of a snake, and is extremely afraid of the Tang Dynasty. If he doesn't reply, he is just afraid of the Tang Dynasty."

Gao Shang waved his feather fan lightly and said calmly. In a few words, he clearly outlined the mentality of the other two land powers.

"Master Military Advisor, what should we do now?"

Bai Chandala on the side spoke and asked everyone's thoughts.

Although the Holy Emperor died, the strength of the Tang Dynasty still existed. It was impossible for Youzhou alone to fight against the entire Tang Dynasty. It was also necessary to rely on the strength of other countries to successfully defeat the Tang Dynasty.

"No problem"

Gao Shang waved his feather fan lightly, with a calm look on his face

"When it comes to dealing with the Tang Dynasty, Dalu Qinling is actually more urgent than us. Although Dalu Qinling is difficult to deal with, it is the easiest to ally with us. As for the Western Turkic Khanate, an empire with two ends: I’m afraid it still requires a little effort from the lord. In addition, there are intact eggs under the overturned nest, and when the big cold wave comes, no empire can survive alone.”

"You just need to wait for a while."

Gao Shang smiled.

On the high hill, everyone felt reassured after hearing the words. Even An Yaluoshan's brows relaxed a lot. He has always been convinced by noble judgments.

When everyone was happy and calm, not many people noticed that not far behind An Yaluoshan, Tian Chengsi seemed to have remembered something, and frowned, showing a hint of uneasiness and worry. .

"Why, Mr. Tian, ​​do you have anything to say?"

Gao Shang smiled and immediately noticed Tian Chengsi's change.

Tian Chengsi said nothing and subconsciously looked up at An Yaluoshan, as if he had some scruples.

"explain"

An Yaluoshan frowned slightly and said.

The generals under his command should all know,

He doesn't like his subordinates to hide and tuck in.

"Sir, one thing is that the imperial court's fortresses in Cangzhou and Yingzhou have been operated for a period of time. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses have gathered in that area. They are led by Prince Shaobao Wang Zhongsi and Tongluo General Abu I want to take charge personally."

"In addition, they have recently recruited thousands of craftsmen into the base. All craftsmen are working day and night, and various defenses have become more and more perfect. This is extremely detrimental to us."

Tian Chengsi lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

As soon as Tian Chengsi's voice fell, the atmosphere around him suddenly changed and became extremely heavy. All the subordinates frowned, and even Gao Shang became much silent.

fortress

The strongholds Wang Chong established in Cangzhou and Yingzhou in the northeast are known as advance bases to the outside world, but here in Youzhou, they are accustomed to calling them "fortresses."

Because the defense there is so heavy that it can no longer be described by the words "advance base", it is completely a fortress with extreme vigilance.

"More than that, the imperial court's power over there is getting stronger and stronger. If they want, they may be able to invade our Youzhou at any time."

At this moment, another voice came, and Tian Qianzhen, who was not far away, also spoke, with a hint of uneasiness in his voice.

Not far away to the south, the existence of that fortress is known to everyone, and it is also an existence that makes all the Youzhou tribes have trouble sleeping and eating.

Before this, all the tribesmen in Youzhou had discussed together that Youzhou had a special terrain, and they were all cavalry, so they could attack when advancing and defend when retreating.

Moreover, using the mobility of the cavalry, Youzhou's soldiers and horses, cavalry charge, and attack thousands of miles away, they can sweep across the middle-earth at will, intimidate the capital, and cannot intercept them, which will frighten the world to the greatest extent and make the world panic.

The Tang Dynasty is too united now. Only when people are panicked and everyone is in danger can Youzhou have a chance.

However, after Wang Chong sent out a crusade, he suddenly noticed that he had to build a base and a fortress not far from Youzhou. It was like a nail inserted into the throat between Youzhou and the Central Plains. All his plans were in vain

If Youzhou's soldiers and horses want to enter the Central Plains, they have to pass through the Cangzhou and Yingzhou areas, and they also have to guard against attacks from the Tang Dynasty. They are restrained at every turn, and they are in a difficult situation.

Wang Chong's small strategy caused everyone in Youzhou to fall into an extremely passive state.

"asshole"

Thinking of the young prince in the capital, An Yaluoshan couldn't help clenching his fists, cracking his knuckles, filled with resentment in his heart.

No matter at any time, the person in the capital is always his enemy.

During this period, he and Gao Shang also thought of many ways, including various harassment and infiltration, but they all failed.

When it comes to wisdom alone, the one in the capital is by no means inferior to noble ones.

Even if An Yaluoshan had great trust in Gao Shang's abilities, he was not sure that Gao Shang could get benefits from Wang Chong, the world-recognized "Sage of War."

The prince's young protector, Wang Zhongsi, who was stationed in the frontline base, was very stable in both offense and defense. This made An Yaluoshan empty and full of brute force, but he was also very fearful and did not dare to move easily.

The atmosphere around him was extremely depressing.

As for the "frontline fortress" built by Wang Chong, everyone has not been able to do anything about it until now.

"Besides, there is one more thing"

Tian Chengsi hesitated for a moment and then said

"The Tang Dynasty started conscription some time ago, and now there are millions of soldiers, and the quality of the soldiers is far beyond imagination. The Shenwu Army, the Prison Army, the Xuanwu Army, and the Mo Dao Team are all expanding their top branches. And civilians are joining the army. The enthusiasm remains high, and so far, all private experts have actively participated, and the number continues to increase.”

"In addition, all the sword-making families in the Tang Dynasty are at full production capacity, and they are casting various weapons and armors, including crossbows, day and night. The number of soldiers and horses in the Tang Dynasty is more than twice that of ours, and my subordinates are worried. Going forward, I’m afraid there will be even more people.”

Tian Chengsi finally expressed his worries. Although Youzhou increased its troops on a large scale and was in full swing, the Tang Dynasty was not to be underestimated.

Moreover, the Tang Dynasty now is completely different from before.

The Tang Dynasty, especially in the hands of the Holy Emperor, always adhered to the principle of valuing the elite rather than the large number of soldiers, so the military strength of the Tang Dynasty never exceeded 600,000, and this still included the Forbidden Army.

This kind of military policy minimized the burden on the people and the loss of national power, but it increased the pressure on the various governorates to the maximum.

Therefore, in the later stages of the Tang Dynasty, Datang's military strength was always sufficient for defense but insufficient for advancement.

If it were still in the hands of the Holy Emperor, Youzhou's military strength would be enough to threaten the Central Plains.

But now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, and Wang Chong, as the minister of Conglong, has complete control over the Tang Dynasty's troops under one person and over tens of thousands of people in the world.

As soon as Wang Chong came up, he completely revolutionized the military policy of the Holy Emperor era.

In his hands, the Tang Dynasty expanded its troops unscrupulously. Relying on the huge financial resources brought by defeating the Great Eclipse and Wang Chong's invincible personal prestige, he easily surpassed a million-strong army and did not stop at all. signs.

Such a large-scale army, with every soldier armed to the teeth, has never been seen in the entire history of the Tang Dynasty.

Dark clouds threaten to destroy the city

The pressure that Wang Chong brought to the people of Youzhou alone was more than that of a huge empire.

Although Wang Chong's troops have not yet arrived, the atmosphere in Youzhou has become extremely tense. It is precisely for this reason that everyone in Youzhou is so eager to contact other countries and increase their strength.

No one dares to underestimate this world-recognized "Sage of Soldiers"

And everyone around them also changed their expressions after hearing Tian Chengsi's words.

A million-strong army alone, combined with the power of all countries, may not be impossible to deal with, but if it continues to grow, it will be too terrifying and far beyond the force Youzhou can bear.

For a moment, everyone felt heavy in their hearts.

"Lord, if this continues, I'm afraid it will be extremely detrimental to us."

Zhao Kan, Bai Zhenduoluo and others also spoke, their eyes full of uneasiness.

An Yaluoshan said nothing and frowned slightly.

The one in the capital has always been Youzhou’s great enemy.

"Hmph, a bunch of incompetent people, one Wang Chong, just built a fortress, are you scared out of your wits?"

At this moment, without any warning, a voice suddenly sounded from An Yaluoshan's arms. The voice was cold and condescending, looking down on all things and treating everyone like ants.

The others looked stunned and had not yet reacted, but An Yaluoshan looked overjoyed.

"Taishi"

"laugh"

The next moment, in front of everyone's eyes, along with a burst of chi chi sound, a thick black smoke burst out from the arms of An Yaluoshan.

An Yaluoshan thought of something, and with a thought in his mind, he quickly reached into his arms and took out a black skull flute the size of a fist.

This was specially left to him by Taishi as a contact tool when necessary, but only Taishi could contact him, but An Yaluoshan could not contact Taishi on his own initiative.

"Buzz"

But for a moment, the black smoke surged out from the black skull flute, drifting, condensing in the void, and soon gathered into a shadow, which was Taishi.

But compared with what An Yaluoshan remembered, the Taishi projection in front of him seemed a little different. In addition, there was a faint blue light flashing in the center of the belly of the shadow where the black smoke gathered, which looked extremely weird.

However, when An Yaluoshan sensed the familiar aura from Xuying's body, his spirits were greatly lifted, and his originally frowning brows relaxed a lot. ()
