Chapter 1136 Tubo
"Your Majesty, these two plans are really a stab at the enemy's vital points." After the three read them, Chang Wei couldn't help but exclaimed.
Using Persia, a traditional great power in the Middle Earth, as a seesaw, and cooperating with the Western Regions Protectorate, it will naturally be possible to deal a fatal blow to the hegemony of the Tusman Empire in the Middle Earth.
In this way, the subsequent order will facilitate Da Song to obtain a steady supply of oil from the Middle Earth and develop Da Song's petrochemical industry.
As for North America, just like Nanzhanzhou, the Ansa people must not be allowed to thrive and grow there.
Otherwise, after a hundred years, these places will become a bridgehead for the Western Earth people to clamp down on Da Song.
Therefore, Emperor Zhao Xu's plan is undoubtedly for long-term considerations.
"In fact, there is a third plan. This plan is currently being implemented by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Xuanwu Army is cooperating. If it goes well, the area east of the Ural Mountains will belong to our Da Song. In this way, even if there is no Middle Earth in the future, our oil can be self-sufficient." Zhao Xu smiled.
The entire Siberia covers an area of 13 million square kilometers.
Almost equal to the area of the complete Dasong.
If the plan goes well, the area of Dasong will reach more than 20 million square kilometers.
Most importantly, there are rich resources under the snowfields in the far north, and there are huge oil fields.
With these oil fields, Dasong is no longer an oil-poor country.
Of course, Dasong's current technology cannot explore these oil fields.
But decades and centuries later, the value here will be reflected.
At present, the best way for Dasong to obtain oil is still the Middle Earth.
After all, the oil there can emerge from the land without even mining, and the technical difficulty of mining is quite low.
"It's worthy of the emperor. Everything is ahead of us. In this case, we will resolutely implement it next." Zhou Yi exchanged glances with Chang Wei and Qin Shan.
I have to admire the emperor's foresight.
Zhao Xu nodded, "Then next, Chang Wei, you will focus on the direction of the Western Regions and Tianzhu, provide all necessary support to Chen Hu, and get in touch with the Persians from Tianzhu together with Guan Tong. The navy will let Gong Ying cooperate with Guan Tong."
After a pause, he continued: "Zhou Yi, you and Qin Shan will be responsible for the second plan, the attack on North America."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The three of them heard it and answered yes at the same time.
After the three left, Zhao Xu sent another order to Ma Han.
Let him lead the troops to Tubo and destroy Ashur.
The White Tiger Army has conducted long-term adaptive training for this.
The capture of Tianzhu also cut off the possibility of Ashur escaping to the south. It's time to close the door and beat the dog.
As long as Tianzhu is captured, the territory of Dasong will be truly complete.
...
Xiancheng.
This was once the place where the Ma family rose.
Now, the White Tiger Army's general's mansion is also here.
After receiving the telegram from Emperor Zhao Xu, Ma Han immediately reorganized his troops and went to Songyang Pass.
After six days of trekking, Ma Han met up with Dianzhang who was guarding Songyang Pass.
"Finally, I have waited for the emperor's order. After conquering Tubo, our White Tiger Army will have a larger jurisdiction." Dianzhang was immediately excited when he learned that they were going to attack Tubo.
During this period, whether it was Chen Hu's Western Regions Protectorate, Qin Shan's Qinglong Army, or Guantong's White Tiger Army, they all stole the limelight.
The generals of their White Tiger Army have long been eager to fight.
Ma Han smiled and looked towards Tubo, "This Tubo may be the last battle in the East. Although the Ashur tribe is much worse than the Western Land Coalition, we cannot underestimate the enemy. We must complete this mission beautifully, so that if there are any combat missions in the future, the emperor can still think of our White Tiger Army."
Among the five armies of Dasong, their White Tiger Army can be said to be the most comfortable during this period.
But for the soldiers of the White Tiger Army, they don't like this kind of comfort.
They also want to expand their territory.
For them, taking down Tubo this time is just the first step.
There are still many countries to the west of Tubo.
They hope that one day, like the Suzaku Army stationed troops in the five southeastern countries and Tianzhu, they can also station troops in more western countries and protect one side.
"That's right, we must not let the emperor look down on us." Dianzhang clenched his fist.
The two talked for a while and then came to the sand table room of Songyang Pass.
Here is a complete sand table of Tubo and the location of the Ashur tribe.
After formulating a battle plan with the generals, Ma Han and Dianzhang led the troops out of Songyang Pass three days later.
Because the White Tiger Army is still managing the grassland for the Western Regions Protectorate.
This time Ma Han and Dianzhang only brought 30,000 troops.
Among them, there are 14,000 lancers and 8,000 infantry.
For the two, this number of White Tiger Army is enough to defeat the Ashur tribe.
Because the Ashur tribe was also severely damaged in the last battle of Yongzhou, there are only 100,000 troops at present.
As soon as the White Tiger Army left Songyang Pass, it was discovered by the Ashur scouts who were watching Songyang Pass.
Six days later, Ashur in Sa City got the news.
At this moment, Ashur was drunk and threw the wine glass in his hand heavily on the ground. With red eyes, he shouted, "I knew it would be our turn after Tianzhu. Zhao Xu, you are ruthless and capable, but to take Tianzhu, even if I, Ashur, die, I will make you pay the price with blood."
After that, he pointed at the generals in the room and said, "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you prepare for war? We are going to kill him and make rivers of blood flow."
The generals looked at each other and turned away.
Ashur closed his eyes and laughed bitterly when he heard the news of the generals' figures.
When he learned that the coalition forces had been defeated, he was shaking all over as if he had drunk a bowl of ice water.
The withdrawal of the Tusman Empire from the Tianshan Mountains made him even more desperate.
Because he knew that he was about to finish.
The road to escape to Tianzhu had been cut off, and the Beidi people on the northern grasslands had all surrendered to Dasong. The land of the Beidi people was full of Dasong soldiers.
This meant that his Tubo was surrounded on all sides.
All he could do was wait for the day when the Dasong army arrived.
But even so, he was unwilling to surrender to Zhao Xu, the emperor of Dasong.
So, he had decided to fight to the death with the Dasong army in Tubo.
However, his idea was destined to be wishful thinking.
When the Lancers of the White Tiger Army appeared near the city of Sa, the city of Sa immediately fell into panic.
The population of Tubo was sparse, and the entire Tubo had only a million people.
There are only two cities in this vast land, Sacheng and Rikze.
Sacheng is equivalent to the county seat of Dasong, and Rikze is equivalent to the county seat.
This situation forced the army of the Ashur tribe to stay in Sacheng.
Only here can the Ashur tribe be provided with sufficient food and grass.
If they lose this city and cut off their food and grass, they will only destroy themselves.
However, now that the Dasong army has really come, how can they defend this city?
