Chapter 485 Final Preparations Before the War!
Chapter 385
"How on earth do you know?"
Song Wang was silent for a long time before saying. There are too many secrets in Wang Chong. Although he has experienced many ups and downs and political storms, he has developed a pair of keen eyesight and political sense, but sometimes, even he can't see through the teenage boy in front of him.
"It's no big secret!"
Wang Chong shook his head and said calmly. Although he is a reborn person and has the memory of his entire life, many things can be deduced without the need for foresight.
Mengshezhao, Wusizang, Goguryeo, Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates, Dashi, these empires have become stronger and stronger over the years, while the Tang Dynasty has been stagnant.
Not just stagnation, but in fact constant regression.
The imperial court, the court and the public are full of arrogance and slackness, but the middle land is so rich, it is doomed that these foreign countries will definitely have wolf ambitions.
And among all the foreign countries, the conflict between Uzbek and Datang is the most intense and at the same time the most aggressive.
Unlike the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates, the Uzbek Empire was far away on the plateau. For this empire on the plateau, the Tang Dynasty had more than enough heart but not enough power.
Therefore, every time there is a war, Uzang can escape as long as it shrinks far inland and retreats three houses. They always have a safe fortress, and their recovery is much faster than other foreign countries.
At the same time, if Uzang wants to expand, the Great Tang of China is the biggest obstacle. All of this is destined to be the first one to attack Uzang forever.
And Ge Luofeng and his 300,000 Mengshezhao army was that opportunity.
They have successfully defeated Xianyu Zhongtong in the Southwest, and if they want to expand their victories, they must guard against the reinforcements of other Great Tang armies. Therefore, it is imperative to send troops to contain Ge Shuhan and his Beidou army in Longxi.
So regarding all this, Wang Chong was not surprised.
Although U-Tsang is a foreign country and far from the prosperity of Middle-earth, there are several extremely powerful existences hidden behind them.
Whether it's Daqin Ruozan, Huoshu Guizang, Xinuoluo Gonglu, Dusongmangbuzhi, they are all top-notch fighters in the world, not inferior to the famous generals in the Central Plains.
Together these heroes
Strategically, there is no gap at all. Even if Wang Chong knew about it a long time ago, it was of no use at all.
"You can analyze this, why didn't you say it earlier?"
King Song looked at the young man in front of him with mixed emotions in his heart.
If it was in the past, he would have been very surprised when he heard Wang Chong's words. But at this time, the Southwest was defeated, Longxi was in danger, and the foreign countries in the Northeast, Northwest, and Beiting were about to move, King Song no longer had the heart to think about these things.
"Will anyone believe me if I tell you?"
Wang Chong said calmly.
The Southwest Campaign has reached this point. Three hundred years later, this huge and wealthy empire finally ushered in the first earthquake-level crisis, a life-and-death crisis.
The following crises will only become more dangerous and more severe each time.
If this one can't survive, the next domino effect one after another will only completely crush this empire.
At this time, there is no need to hide any more.
"Eh!"
After listening to Wang Chong's words, King Song raised his head, looked at the cloudy sky, sighed a long time, and couldn't speak anymore.
What Wang Chong said is correct, military and national affairs are of great importance.
Even if Wang Chong told him how all this would happen, even if he had a relationship with several generations of the Wang family, he would never believe it rashly.
This is not a relationship of distrust of Wang Chong. It's just that the important affairs of the court are solved in this way, and no emotion can be mixed.
Without conclusive evidence, it is not a correct attitude to deal with political affairs to decide a country's military deployment and the lives of hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of troops, based on a few inferences from one person.
Therefore, no matter what Wang Chong said, no one would believe him, including Song Wang himself, before all this really happened.
It was precisely because he understood this that King Song couldn't help but sigh deeply, feeling a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart.
Li Zhengji was defeated, and Datang had no more troops left.
"Is this all unavoidable..."
At this moment, King Song's heart was agitated and complicated.
"Your Highness, what happened is unavoidable. The most urgent task is how to resolve the war in the Southwest!"
Wang Chong said seriously.
No matter how bad things are, as long as everything is not settled, he will never give up easily.
"What else can we do now? The Southwest has already lost. With only a thousand people like you, it's just a drop in the bucket, and nothing can be solved."
King Song smiled wryly, looking at the smoke billowing on another mountain in the distance.
Everything is already clear, he has understood it since he just arrived here. Wang Chong sold the spiritual veins before to get together the powerhouses of these aristocratic families and point his sword to the southwest.
Only the crisis in the Southwest would be worthy of Wang Chong's summoning so many experts and spending so much money.
But all this is doomed to be just a drop in the bucket, so what if a thousand "soldiers" are experts from various families in the capital?
A war can never be solved by just a thousand strong men, the war is far from that simple!
"If you don't try, how will you know if you can succeed?"
Wang Chong asked back, with a firm look on his face.
The war in the southwest has developed to this point, and there is no other way. Although there are not many masters of a thousand aristocratic families, this is the only thing he can do at present, and it is also his best effort.
"How do you need me to help you?"
King Song said in a deep voice.
"Your Highness, there are no accidents. I will leave here in seven days at most. I don't have an official position, and I won't be able to overwhelm the generals when I get there. Therefore, I need a token from Your Highness to prohibit everything. In addition, If possible...His Highness, please send me more experts."
Wang Chong said.
King Song nodded, without saying much, handed the token to Wang Chong, and left with the old housekeeper feeling sad.
Wang Chong watched King Song leave, his eyes fluctuated, and he quickly came back to his senses.
Every point that Southwest passed was a point of danger, and there was not much time left for him. He has to make the most of every minute.
"Crazy!"
A whistling sound shook the forest, and the hooves of the horses clattered. In just a moment, a horse like a dragon shot out from the forest. After several months, the white-hoofed crow became stronger and stronger.
Whether it's bones, ligaments, or muscles, the current white-hoofed crow has fully reached the adult state, which is completely different from before.
"drive!"
Wang Chong got on his horse, grabbed the reins, and clamped the horse's belly fiercely, and the horse and man became one, and went straight to the forging ground of the Zhang family in the capital like a light smoke.
"jingle clang clang!"
In the west of the capital city, a huge iron yard stood upright. Before Wang Chong approached, he heard a clanging sound, and billowing thick smoke rose into the sky.
"Young master!"
Seeing Wang Chong, a person in charge of the Zhang family in the capital rushed to meet him. In the current Zhang Family, there is no one who does not know Wang Chong.
"Take me in and have a look."
Wang Chong rolled over from the white-hoofed crow, and got straight to the point.
The entire Zhang family's iron yard was busy, thick smoke was billowing, and the sound of tinkling and clanging could be heard endlessly. Walking inside, Wang Chong could feel a scorching heat wave rolling in.
"Young master, according to your order, all master-level craftsmen in the family are dispatched to work day and night to make Uzi steel swords for you according to your requirements! The family attaches great importance to this matter, and the head of the family is personally presiding over this matter. He You just left here, if you had come earlier, you would have met him."
The person in charge of the leading Zhang family introduced in front.
Zhang's iron yard has not been this lively for a long time, all the master craftsmen have come out, and in just a few days, it is busier than the past few months.
Wang Chong nodded.
The matter of the Uzi steel sword is not trivial. With a glance, Wang Chong can see many masters guarding here, including the masters of the Wang family who are also stationed here.
Wootz steel is no small matter. As long as this kind of thing can be obtained, there are definitely many people who are willing to take risks.
"Wang Chong, why are you here!"
While he was talking, a gust of wind came towards him, and Zhang Cong and Zhang Jian rushed forward with several elders from the Zhang family in the capital.
"How is the Uzi steel sword?"
Wang Chong nodded and said hello.
"There are still three days to finish, but the next thing is up to you."
Zhang Cong looked at Wang Chong with concern. A thousand Uzi steel swords require a lot of processes, which is quite difficult for a family like the Zhang family, not to mention that Wang Chong only has one person.
Zhang Cong was a little worried that Wang Chong wouldn't be able to finish it alone.
"Understood, you only need to complete the process before the thousand Uzi steel swords, and you don't have to worry about the rest."
Wang Chong said calmly.
Almost all of the most critical technologies of Wootz Steel are in his hands, and no one can defend against them. However, although the process is complicated, the last few processes of the Uzi steel sword are much simpler.
As long as enough quenching liquid is prepared, the quenching of the Wuzi steel sword will be quite fast, and it will be much easier than the Zhang family in the capital.
"In addition, the matter of the armor has been handed over to other aristocratic families, and we have sent people there to supervise the process. Compared with the Uzi steel sword, I am afraid that the armor will come out sooner!"
Zhang Jian next to him added.
There are too many processes in the Uzi steel sword, and it is quite troublesome to cast. However, the armor of the Meteorite Iron is much simpler. Wang Chong did not cast pure Meteorite Iron armor, but added the Meteorite Iron with other high-grade refined iron, which greatly reduced the difficulty of casting and increased the The amount of armor that can be forged.
Different from casting Uzi steel swords, each family is quite experienced in forging armor. The only trouble is that the melting point of meteoric iron is very high, otherwise, it would be much faster.
