Chapter 195: Asking for War to Conquer the Western Turks

Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying inexplicably, not knowing what kind of madness he was smoking at this time. But Chen Ying knew that he had made the mistake of empiricism, and Chen Ying thought that if he controlled the Western Regions, he could control the Silk Road.

In fact, the entire Silk Road is not just the Western Regions in Chinese literature. The traditional Silk Road, starting from Chang'an and ending at Rome, is 13,000 miles long. In fact, there are only more than 6,000 Silk Roads under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, barely accounting for half.

On this Silk Road, there were not only a number of small states, but also regional powers such as the Western Turks, the Sassanid Persian Empire, and the Byzantine Empire. The continuous civil war of the Western Turks, from the perspective of the national interests of the Tang Dynasty, let the Western Turks continue the civil war is in the interests of the Tang Dynasty.

Chen Ying has actually ignored it, at this time, not only the four khans of the Western Turks have beaten their brains, but the Byzantine Empire is also in trouble, the Byzantine Empire is the Eastern Roman Empire, and their traditional old enemies are the Persians, Slavs and Bolgars, at this time the Byzantine Empire is a majestic lion, but it was bitten all over the body by three hungry wolves, exhausted, it is precisely because of the weakening of the Byzantine Empire that the great cannibals began to rise.

Once the Great Cannibals rise, their appetite is endless, and the Great Cannibal is very greedy for territory, hitting the Indus River in the southeast, the Sahara Desert in the south, the Caucasus in the north, and the Atlantic coast in the west. If it weren't for Gao Xianzhi's battle of Talas, he created a big cannibal, with less than 30,000 cavalry, against more than 200,000 big cannibal troops, although he retreated, he gave the big cannibal more than 70,000 casualties, even if the Tang Dynasty then fell into the Anshi Rebellion, but the big cannibal was still scared by the Tang Dynasty's Modao army and did not dare to advance eastward.

If the Byzantine Empire is allowed to continue to weaken, then the Great Cannibal is destined to step on the flesh and blood of the Byzantine Empire as in history, and the Tang Dynasty will eventually lose the four towns of Anxi, and even the Broken Leaf City, the birthplace of the great poet Li Bai, will also be lost. Now is precisely the most critical turning point, Chen Ying should consider his own interests, worried that Li Yuan will be jealous, and if he stops moving forward in the Western Regions, he will let history go back to its original track.

Once Chen Ying led the Anxi army to the west, then in this way, because of the fear of the Tang army's westward expedition, the Western Turks would stop the civil war and unite with the outside world, and at the same time, the Sassanid Empire would also ease the war with the Byzantine Empire from the face because it could not figure out where the bottom line of the Tang army was, and shrink the defense line and troops to deal with the threat from the eastern powers.

In this way, Chen Ying's true purpose has been achieved. Having lost the Slavic and Persian rivals, the Byzantine Empire was well equipped to deal with the threat from the southeast.

Chen Ying, who was not familiar with world history, did not take the Western Turkic civil strife to heart, however, now he has figured out that the Western Turkic civil strife, the direct impact is fatal, losing the Western Turk's containment in the Khorasan region of the Sassanid Empire, the Sassanid Empire's crazy attack on the Byzantine Empire, so that the Byzantine Empire's military strength is greatly damaged, thus losing control of the southeast (Arabia).

This is the real butterfly effect, the rise of the Great Cannibals, similar to the Mongols, is to take advantage of the weakness of the old master, take advantage of the situation, thus bringing heavy disasters to the people of the world.

The key is that the Byzantine Empire is the same origin as the Eastern Roman Empire, and the civilization of the Roman Empire is based on the Greek civilization.

Chen Ying was as angry as a bull with red eyes in the gladiatorial arena.

Zhou Qing looked at Chen Ying's unkind face, and asked cautiously, "Dadu Hu, what happened?" ”

Chen Ying said with a murderous face: "By the way, is there any news from the Western Turks recently?" ”

"The news is in the hands of Guo Luo......"

Without waiting for Zhou Qing to finish speaking, Chen Ying interrupted: "Call Guo Luo over to me!" ”

Guo Luo has been in love with intelligence work since he fell in love with Murong Fuyun. In fact, Chen Ying's Tiger Righteousness is now divided into two parts, one in Guanzhong and the other in the Western Regions, but the focus of his work is for business intelligence. Who told them to put up a boss who wants to die?

When Zhou Qing found Guo Luo, Guo Luo was drinking a little wine, and Guo Luo was much freer without being on duty at Chen Ying's side, and now Guo Luo has become a stallion, working day and night, and working hard to create people. When Chen Ying came to the Western Regions for less than three years, Guo Luo had seven sons and eleven daughters, and he was almost enough to get together two football teams.

Hearing Zhou Qing say that Chen Ying had found something to inquire about the Western Turks, Guo Luo broke out in a cold sweat.

If he remembered correctly, Chen Ying had been busy training troops, tuntian, and doing business, and he really turned a blind eye to things outside the window, and only made a small amount of money, and suddenly cared about the situation in the Western Turks, which must be strange.

However, as the news of Chen Ying's summoning of Guo Luo spread, the generals of the Anxi Army, who had not had a major military operation for two years, heard the news and were ready to move.

Just as Guo Luo entered Chen Ying's festival hall with his front foot, Chen Ying asked with a slashed face: "How is the Western Turk side now?" ”

Guo Luo pondered and pondered the words and said: "Regarding the situation in the Western Turks, there are relatively few sources. However, it is certain that the four great khans of the Western Turks attacked each other and fought more than ...... By the way, two months ago, news came that in the northern part of the Western Turks, Hou Quli and Pi Khan, who had conquered Tiele in the north and were defeated by Xue Yantuo. He was suspicious and vicious, killed the hero Yili Little Khan, and exterminated his clan, causing everyone in his subordinates to endanger themselves. Tong'e set up the succession to the throne for the loss of the Khan of Sha Bo Luo ......"

Chen Ying scolded angrily: "Fools, all of them are fools!" After more than two years of fighting, I haven't decided the winner or loser, and I'm so stupid! ”

Ma Mengming sighed and said, "The Western Turks also have difficulties...... In the battle of Liangzhou, the vitality of the Western Turks was greatly damaged, and the Turks were very fierce in nature, and if they insisted on fighting, they were afraid of a lot of casualties, so they came out of the same consideration, just for show, the four Khans of the Western Turks all wanted to successfully appease each other, not only to save a catastrophe of swords and soldiers, but also to reserve a capable division for the Western Turks......"

Chen Ying smiled coldly: "How can reunification be so easy, which time is not reunification drenched in blood, killing people's heads!" ”

Historically, the Mongolian Plateau was originally lined with hundreds of ethnic groups, like a plate of scattered sand. Temujin's unification of Mongolia was a two-trick of iron and blood. Throughout the history of Mongolian unification, it is actually a history of blood and tears. Just after Temujin had defeated the Mirbeg, Zamuhe believed that Temujin threatened his dominance, and united with the Taichiu and other tribes, with 30,000 troops, and launched an attack on Temujin with the fuse of the Zamuhe tribe plundering Temujin's horses and shooting them to death. Temujin formed his 30,000 men into thirteen wings and fought in the Talan version of Zhu Si's wilderness. Temujin was defeated, and in order to preserve his strength, he retreated to the mountain gorge of Zhelie, and held the danger. The history of this battle is known as the "Battle of the Thirteen Wings".

Later, Temujin was defeated and his troops were completely wounded, and Temujin used the power of the Jin Dynasty to defeat the combined army of Tai Chi Wu and Mi'er Qi, and the leader Ta'er Hutai and others were killed, and Hu Ahu and others fled into the Ba'er Kuzhen Pass. Subsequently, Temujin, who grew in strength, swallowed the Kelie tribe and defeated the Naiban tribe, basically completing the unification. In order to eliminate the dissent and maintain his rule, Temujin pursued a policy of prosperity and death. In the entire war of unification, according to incomplete statistics, more than a million Mongols were killed and wounded.

For the Western Turks to complete their unification, an iron-armed lion similar to the Turkic Tumen Khan or the Xiongnu Maodun Shan Yu or the Mongol Temujin must appear.

Chen Ying smashed his fist on the desk and shouted: "The Western Turks crossed the border and plundered my Tang border, killed my border people, and robbed my business travel, which is unbearable. ”

As for Chen Ying's remark that the Western Turks plundered the borders and slaughtered the border people, it was pure nonsense. Now that Chen Ying is on his side, the Western Turks are all terrified, walking on thin and cold, and now the most important thing the Western Turks have done is to hope that Chen Ying will not use his sword soldiers. In particular, the Western Turks greeted each other and said: "The original Anxi army can't afford sword soldiers!" ”

In fact, the Western Turks were defeated by Chen Ying, and the meaning of this sentence can be understood as: "Don't hit me, don't beat me......"

Li Xiuning entered the lobby at this time and asked in surprise, "You want to go west?" ”

Chen Yinglang said: "Yes, I want to lead the Anxi Army to the west!" I've had enough of those idiots' clumsy performances, and if I continue like this, I'm going to die for life! ”

Li Xiuning hesitated for a moment, and said with a calm face: "There are too many recruits in the Anxi Army, and the training is only three months, and your most important task now is to train the troops, train the troops!" As for the war in the Western Turks, what are you talking about! ”

"Soldiers are fought, not trained!" Chen Ying raised his fist and said, "My Anxi New Army has been training for several months, it's time to pull it out and see the blood!" ”

Li Xiuning frowned and said, "Where is enough for a few months!" The Western Turks are so fierce, they have only practiced for a few months, no, absolutely not, I ......"

At this moment, An Xing, the envoy of the Anxi Army, interrupted Li Xiuning's words, looked at Chen Ying and asked seriously: "General Chen, do you really want to ask the imperial court for war and lead the troops to conquer the Western Turks?" ”

Chen Ying said proudly: "Nonsense, if you don't want to lead the troops to conquer the Western Turks, do you want to bring people to give them New Year's greetings?" ”

An Xing's face smiled like a flower. Under the guidance of Chen Ying, Anxing, an inconspicuous eunuch in Chang'an City, bought more than 45,000 acres of orchards in Beipo Mountain, and he hired more than 1,000 people to take care of his orchards, and purchased a large number of fruits and vegetables from the Western Regions and processed them into canned vegetables and fruits.

You must know that the winter in the Western Regions is cold and long, and there is no other means of preservation in this era, so the fruits and vegetables are naturally stored until the beginning of November. Moreover, with the development of agriculture and basic industries in the Western Regions, the people of the Western Regions have become richer, and even canned fruits and vegetables that are nearly five times more expensive than fresh vegetables and fruits can afford to eat and buy. Anxing canning factory has an annual output of 100,000 cans, which is still in short supply.

However, as a eunuch, it was An Xing's instinct to be stingy. It is also his temperament, he thinks that the people he hires are expensive, and he also wants to get a batch of free labor.

Once Chen Ying went west, why worry about having no prisoners of war and slaves, free labor?

An Xing said with a smile: "General Chen is brave and loyal, he is really a loyal and good general of my Tang Dynasty!" Our family will write to the court and ask for war for the Anxi army! ”

Li Xiuning said urgently: "No, the new army of Anxi ......"

In normal times, An Xing naturally did not dare to contradict Li Xiuning. But people's eyes are black, but yellow is yellow, An Xing didn't give Li Xiuning a chance to speak, and shouted: "Your Royal Highness Princess, now that the Hebei rebellion has lasted for several months, Your Majesty is worried, and your hair is gray, shouldn't we, who are courtiers, solve problems for the Holy One?" Once the Western Turks are defeated, the Eastern Turks will inevitably be worried that General Chen will lead his troops to the east, they will definitely retreat on their own and lose the support of the Turks. ”

Anxin's mouth was slippery, and he was speechless. Li Xiuning really didn't know how to refute for a while.

Li Xiuning smiled bitterly and was speechless. In fact, to be honest, she is reluctant to transfer the Anxi New Army out to fight and fight bandits and sand thieves, she has no opinion, but she has nothing to do and takes the initiative to conquer the Western Turks, what is this? Moreover, it is more than 1,000 miles from Mulan City to the Yile River, which is too far, and the army is on an expedition of thousands of miles, and the consumption of various materials is an astronomical amount, and it is not necessary to empty out the Western Regions, which has accumulated with great difficulty? No, absolutely not. Li Xiuning's attitude is that unless the imperial court orders the transfer of Anxi into the customs, the new army of Anxi will stay in the Western Regions honestly!

It's just that this time Chen Ying didn't get used to Li Xiuning, Li Xiuning's mouth was dry, and Chen Ying just couldn't listen to it. Immediately, An Xing wrote a recital, and sent it to Jingshi for 800 miles.

Why did Chen Ying rush to attack the Western Turks? To put it bluntly, it is because of interests, mastering the Western Regions does not mean owning the entire Silk Road, only having complete silk and maintaining the smooth and safe Silk Road is in line with Chen Ying's interests.

Chen Ying adopted industrial production, so that the production efficiency has increased substantially, and the production capacity will soon be overcapacity, and he must find a market where he can dump.

The Silk Road to Rome became Chen Ying's lifeblood and Chen Ying's financial route.

Cutting off someone's money is like killing your parents!

It's strange that Chen Ying doesn't get angry.

What's more, the Western Turks robbed Chen Ying's various machine tools, even the most primitive machine tools, which are also industrial engines!
