The affairs of the eastern frontier are not very big, and compared with the affairs of the western frontier, it seems to be.

It's already over the New Year, it's going to be a warm spring, and the battle in the Western Regions is going to have a result after all, Daning can't just repel the enemy's attack and end it, if it was put in the past, it might be like this, but not now, His Majesty Li Chengtang is not a person of this character.

You came and punched me for no reason, and you tried to break into my house, and then I beat you away, and that's it?

How can it be so cheap.

In the spring of the thirtieth year of Daning Tiancheng, His Majesty the Emperor issued a letter to the people of the Western Regions and a war letter to the Western Regions.

This may be one thing that will be remembered by history, Daning, sent a war letter to the twenty-two countries of the Western Regions, with the strength of one country.

Not long after this war letter announcement, six of the 22 countries that received the war letter submitted their credentials to Daning, willing to be vassals and compensate for losses, as long as Daning could not use troops.

When these six letters of state were sent to Chang'an, two of the small countries had been wiped out by Tang Baobao's army.

The army marched all the way out of La Jia City, and it made no difference whether the small countries surrendered or not, there was no difference, there was a price to pay for making mistakes, Daning could forgive some mistakes, but he would never forgive the war launched against Daning.

One month, the Daning soldiers were divided into two routes, Tang Baobao led the main force of the Western Xinjiang army to advance westward for nearly a thousand miles, including the Houque State that had not many troops left in the country, a total of six small countries were destroyed, at the beginning of April, the army had already attacked less than 200 miles north of the Tubo royal court, and at this moment, Shen Leng took 65,000 soldiers out of the magic mountain pass to the west to storm with Tang Baobao's army, within a month, led the army to attack less than 50 miles west of the Tubo royal court.

In the past month, fighting day by day, the Ning army has stained the land of the Western Regions with blood.

The Tibetan royal court.

At this time, the army of the Western Regions gathered in the Tubo Royal Court is still huge, and this will be the end of this war, as always, Daning will not let the war happen in Daning, and the place of the decisive battle cannot be in Daning, every step and every day is being carried out according to the plan, this is the place of the decisive battle designated by Kyushu and Shen Leng, then it must be the place of the decisive battle.

The army of the Tibetan country has basically lost their dominance of the country, especially after the annihilation of the Shenlu army, there is no army in Tubo that can fight, let alone a general who can lead the army, the left sage king Dodio was killed, the right sage king Modio has no soldiers in his hands, so he doesn't even have the weight of a fart, and now it is a group of outsiders who are in charge of the country in Tubo.

The one with the greatest voice is, of course, the Emperor of Rest, Galoclius.

But Galocleo is not steady, this is the most insecure battle he has fought for many years, when he went out in the past, he has never been nervous, let alone uneasy, the army has not grown an inch of grass, it has been like this for so many years, but this time he found that everything is very awkward, every battle in the past is fought according to his rhythm, and now this rhythm is not in his hands, every step seems to fall where people want him to stay, how can it not be uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty."

Qi Nie glanced at Galoclio's face: "The minister knows that if His Majesty is unwilling to retreat at this time, the soldiers are also unwilling, but there is not much benefit to be gained in this battle, and we have already looted a lot of money in Tubo, and if it is shipped back to China, it will be another big victory for the people, which is enough." ”

Garlock glanced at him, "Self-deception? ”

This time, their target is not these small countries in the Western Regions, but Ning, and they want to take the countries of the Western Regions as their target

Springboard, in Galoclio's eyes, even if these small countries in the Western Regions were all destroyed by him, that sense of accomplishment was not as good as him stepping into the territory of Ning Kingdom.

"I also thought it was time to go back."

Gallok lifted the glass in front of him and shook it, the amber liquor in the glass was like blood.

"But before I set out on the expedition, I said that I would go back with the wealth of Ningguo, and I also said that if I feel that Ningdi is better than our homeland after reading it, then move the capital over there, and if I go back like this at this time, I thought, probably everyone will be disappointed in me."

"But Your Majesty, the people of the Western Regions are already afraid."

Qi Nie said: "Without the people of the Western Regions as cannon fodder, our troops are not enough to destroy the Ning Kingdom, even if we only face the current war, we may lose both." ”

Gallock snorted, "I want to see again." ”

He looked at Nie Mi: "The people of the Western Regions sent news that the Ning army was about to change generals in battle, and the general of Ningxi Xinjiang talked about Kyushu having returned to their capital Chang'an, and a person was replaced to command the army. ”

"If ......"

Galok was silent for a while and then said: "If the Ning people used such an obvious wrong step to attract me to stay, then I followed their wishes, I want to see, is it not worse than talking about Kyushu that the Ning people will be replaced by the people who will be replaced?" ”

He exhaled slowly: "But this battle is still handed over to the Houque people to fight first, Urdun brought almost all the troops in his country, so that the Houque country was wiped out by the Ning army, his hatred is much greater than mine, and his son is still in the hands of the Ning army, let him try this new commander of the Ning army has a few catties and taels, I will take a look, if I really can't fight, I will order the retreat." ”

"Obey."

Abandon Nie Xi got up and was about to retreat, Galoculus suddenly asked: "I heard that the power of Ning's firearms is far above our stone-throwing carts?" ”

"Yes."

Qi Nie Di replied quickly, he remembered Ohno Jian's words, so he replied: "The future war will be a war of firearms, and whoever has more powerful firearms will be invincible." ”

"How boring is the war?"

Galok sighed: "Relying on weapons rather than manpower, such a war is very boring. ”

Abandon Nie Di didn't know how to answer.

"Go, urge Urdun to fight the Ning army in a decisive battle."

"I'll go."

Wai Nie Di withdrew from the main hall, and after walking a few steps, he couldn't help but look back, for the first time, he saw a kind of depression in His Majesty the Emperor, although it was not obvious, but he knew that this was by no means a good sign, he had never seen such an emotion on His Majesty's face.

Fifty miles away from the royal court.

Shen Leng sat in the big tent and looked at the young man in front of him, the young man glared at him fiercely, but this kind of look had no effect on Shen Leng, if Shen Leng could be frightened by people's eyes, then wouldn't his face of years of cultivation be in vain.

The young man in front of him is called Que Yuesheng, a very sad young man, the only son of Urdun, the prime minister of the Later Que National University, who once wanted to go to the end of the world with a sword and also wanted to rely on his own strength to make the country rich and the people strong, and he also wanted to be a person who left a name in history, it is not good to fight the sword, and it is not good for the country to be rich and the people are strong, but it should be no problem to leave a name in history, he will be recorded in the history books, and he became a hostage in the hands of Ning Jun at the beginning of the war.

Because of him, Urdon took with him an army of hundreds of thousands

Far away from the Houque country, and Ning Jun took advantage of the weakness to enter and destroy the Houque, if all this has nothing to do with him, who will believe it.

"Why didn't you kill me yet?"

Que Yue stared at Shen Leng dead and dead.

"Believe it or not, I don't like to kill."

Shen Leng put his legs on the table and sat more comfortably: "I didn't arrest you to kill you, but for ransom." ”

"You stop!"

Que Yuesheng couldn't help but roar at Shen Leng anymore: "You Ning people are here to destroy my Houque, your goal has been achieved now, don't say those childish words to lie to me, what ransom, what hostages, it's just a means for you to lure my father away from the country, because of me, the homeland will be destroyed, and the country will not exist, and I have no intention of living, you kill me!" ”

"Don't kill."

Shen Leng looked at him and said with a smile: "What you said is right, but I still don't kill you, aside from the war between countries, the relationship between me and you, me and your father, the relationship between the three of us is actually not so complicated, that is, the relationship between the kidnappers, the hostages and the hostages' families, the reason why I brought you here today is not to tear up the ticket, to be a kidnapper must be moral, your father has sent someone to send a ransom, in addition to 100,000 taels of silver, there are 10,000 taels of gold, and a lot of jewelry and jade, I feel his strong fatherly love for you, So I'm going to put you back. ”

Shen Leng beckoned, and the soldiers immediately came in with a package.

Shen Leng got up, took the package and tied it to Que Yuesheng: "Here I have prepared two days' dry food for you, as well as a pot of water, and a letter to your father, I received the ransom, and I will naturally put it back, if you want to commit suicide to apologize, please trouble you to go out of the camp and commit suicide again, otherwise it will seem that we are not trustworthy." ”

Que Yue turned her head to look at Shen Leng violently, and the anger in her eyes was about to come out.

"Go back, after leaving the camp, go to the northwest, there is the camp of your Houque army, don't go southwest, the southwest is the camp of the Sabbatarians."

Shen Leng patted Que Yuesheng on the shoulder: "It looks a little fatter, and our food is not bad." ”

Que Yuesheng wanted to strangle Shen Leng to death, but he didn't dare.

He glared at Shen Leng angrily, Shen Leng had already ignored him, and returned to his seat and sat down: "I won't set up a banquet to see you off." ”

Que Yuesheng was silent for a while, then stomped his feet and turned away.

Chen Ran stood beside Shen Leng and asked, "Really just let it go?" ”

"Really."

Shen sneered and said: "The rest people are too yīn loss, they will use the hundreds of thousands of Houque army in Urdun to consume our troops first, I put Que Yuesheng back, Urdun will have to think about the future of their father and son, if his son dies, he has no more concerns, he will fight to the death with us, we are not afraid of fighting, but unnecessary fighting can not be fought, after Que Yuesheng goes back, Urdun will change his mind, he will not use the lives of their father and son as a bargaining chip in the hands of the resting people, Urdun is not so stupid, I wrote him a letter and told him that you can't go back to Houque Kingdom, and if you go back, you will die, and you can't beat us, so it's better to go to Lou Ran's side, Lou Ran has no soldiers at home, so it's easy to fight. ”

Chen Ran looked at Shen Leng: "Why are you so bad?" ”

Shen Leng sighed: "Collect money and release people, I am simply honest and lovely Xiaolangjun, what's wrong." ”

He got up and moved: "Send someone to deliver a letter to General Tang, and let them out if the Houque army moves to the northwest." ”

"Now it's time to fight the Sabbatarians."
