Changan!

Palace!

The king of Shu led the delegation back to Chang'an and immediately went to the palace to report to Yang Yue.

This time, he led the delegation to the Turks to carry out Yang Yue's explanation, which was not very perfect, but he did not live up to the trust of the other party.

Promote the alliance between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty, and wait for the Turks to send iron cavalry to the battle, in the future, the pressure of the Tang army on the Western Front will be much easier.

In this way, after returning to Chang'an, no official in the court dared to despise him anymore.

At this moment, in the council hall, Yang Yue is discussing the expansion of the army and the reform of the army with the Zhongshu Order, the Military Department, and the Ministry of Officials!

The eunuch serving outside the hall walked in quickly and saluted Yang Yue and reported: "Your Majesty, the King of Shu has brought the delegation back to Chang'an, and the prince is waiting outside the palace."

"Come in, King Xuanshu is here!"

Yang Yue got up on the soft couch, his face was a little smiling, the mission returned, and the king of Shu hurriedly came to the palace, most of which were successful in negotiations with Agus.

The eunuch bowed slightly, bowed and withdrew from the council.

Soon, the King of Shu walked in, did not squint, and saluted: "Weichen to meet the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

"Well, get up!"

Yang Yue waved his hand to signal the King of Shu to get up, and asked loudly: "King Shu, can you gain anything from this trip?"

Whether the Turks were willing to send troops or not was related to the Tang Army's fight on the Western Front.

In order to reduce the casualties of the Tang army, the time spent on the Western Front and take the opportunity to contain the Turks, Yang Yue sincerely looked forward to the elite of the Argus faction.

"Your Majesty, Weichen did not fail in his mission, and successfully persuaded Argus to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty and send iron cavalry to conquer Tibet."

The king of Shu bowed his head slightly and reported to Yang Yue.

"Okay, Agus sent iron cavalry, the pressure of the Tang army on the Western Front has been reduced, and Tubo can be eradicated as soon as possible!" Zhongshuling applauded, and the vicissitudes of life showed a smile.

Wo Longsheng, the secretary of the military department, was also elated, and immediately asked the king of Shu: "Lord, who is the leader of the Argus faction, and how many troops will be sent?"

The number of Turkic troops is related to the length of the battle in the west, and it also proves the sincerity of the Turkic alliance.

"Naturally, the Right Valley Liwang Department and the Right Xianwang Department near the Western Regions, they have sent a total of 100,000 iron horsemen to set off in the near future!" The king of Shu replied.

"The soldiers are fast, the two major tribes of the Turkic West have sent strong generals to fight, and they will definitely fight the Tibetan flowers!"

Yang Yue walked down from the jade steps and said loudly, he once drove a personal expedition and fought against the Turkic iron cavalry, and he knew the strength of the other party very well.

The right Xianwang Department, the location of the Right Valley Liwang Department, through the Tianshan Mountains, can appear in the north of Tuyuhun, and can be unexpectedly hit Tubo hard.

"Your Majesty, time is pressing, I hope that General Yan, General Wei and others will occupy Tuyuhun as soon as possible!" Wo Longsheng report.

In the plateau war, the climate problem cannot be ignored, and if it is delayed, it may lead to many problems.

"This is a problem, Zhongshu order, as soon as possible to the generals on the front line to pass on my will, before the winter, as soon as possible to take Tuyuhun, to ensure that the Tang army takes root on the plateau, and in the coming year to fight for the eradication of Tubo!" Yang Yue admonished, guessed what Wolongsheng was afraid of?

At this time, Li Xuanqi, the secretary of the ministry, stepped out of the ranks and reported loudly: "Your Majesty, after discussing with the Zhongshu Order and the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, it is recommended to completely cut the various guard armies, and set up a new Yulin Army, a Tiger Ben Army, and a Xiaowu Army, with three battalions per army, and 50,000 elites in each battalion, and six battalions of the Fuxing Army and the Xiaocai Army!"

As he spoke, Li Xuanqi took out the fold from his arms and presented it to Yang Yue.

Yang Yue browsed the content of the song in detail, and according to the suggestions of Li Xuanqi and others, the army led by Lin Kaiyue, Duanmu Ye, and Yuan Yangge in the northeast was divided into three battalions of the Xiaowu Army, and the new army recruited by He Hengrui, Wu Anluo, and Yue Shizhong in Shu was classified as the Tiger Army, and the three armies of Zhang Shaoqing, Li Yucheng and other generals in the north who guarded the frontier were turned into the Yulin Army.

The army led by Zhao Xuanhu, Nan Daoming, Ye Qinghu and others is still the Xiaoguo army, and it is Chang'an and various fortresses.

Each army remained 50,000 men, and the number was recruited from the locality!

After browsing the chapters, Yang Yue asked: "Xuanqi, can you consider whether Datang's current national strength can support millions of elites?"

At the peak of the Tang Dynasty, the battle army of the court remained at about one million, plus the elite of the protectorate in various places, and the national strength was enough to support it!

At present, Datang's national strength has not yet recovered to a state of total victory, recruiting millions of elites, money and food are afraid to eat, the most important thing, Datang is fighting with Tubo and Tuyuhun in the west, and consuming a lot of money and grain.

"Your Majesty, Weichen and the household department have discussed, according to the treasury money and grain, to support a million troops to rub more than enough, not to mention, the Northeast defenders are far from 150,000, after the restoration of the economic order of the six northeast provinces, from next year will be able to pay part of the taxes to the imperial court, and in the next few years, the taxes sent to Chang'an in the Northeast will only increase, not decrease, and there will be more than enough to support millions of elites!" Li Xuanqi reports!

"Your Majesty, since each province of Datang spends different areas and supports different war zones, even if the number of troops is expanded, there will be no problem!" Zhongshu Ling reported: "Moreover, the three new armies have been added, and the defensive areas of each army have been more clearly divided, and in order to guard against the military generals controlling the military power, Weichen suggested that the commanders of each army and the places where they are stationed should be replaced once every three years."

"So much the best!" Yang Yue bowed slightly.

In the next few days, the court quickly carried out military reform, and sent the insistence to the defenders everywhere.

With this, the Turks came with news that the Right Xian King and the Right Valley Li King each led 50,000 elite horsemen to the south and went to Tuyuhun!

After receiving the news, Yang Yue was much more relaxed, but he did not relax his vigilance, after all, Tubo was behind Tuyuhun's support.

The Turkic iron cavalry arrived at the front line, and soon Guo Xiaocai sent back the good news from Hexi Road, with the support of the Turkic iron cavalry, the Tang army's speed of attacking the city and conquering the city increased rapidly!

At this time, the court held the autumn festival in Chang'an, the selection of officials, after the palace examination, Yang Yue selected officials, sent the northeast, Zhenjiang and other places as officials!

In the autumn, Yang Yue did not wait for Guo Xiao to ride in Chang'an, and Yan Yuefeng sent back the good news from the front line.

Only two months later, the Sassanid Dynasty quickly sent an envoy across mountains and rivers, beyond Yang Yue's expectations.

After arranging the Sasanian mission at the post station, Yang Yue sent Zhao Xuanhu to the bazaar to inquire about the Sasanian problem with merchants from the west.

According to his guess, if the Sassanid Dynasty was at its peak, it was impossible to send a mission in a hurry, and now, the Sassanid people are in a hurry to send a mission to Chang'an, and most of the Sassanid are in internal and external troubles, especially when encountering foreign enemies, and urgently ask for help from the Tang Dynasty.

Otherwise, he couldn't guess why the Sassanid mission had come.

However, Sasanian sent a delegation to let Yang Yue and Long Yan Dayue, no matter what situation Sassanid was in, after the two countries got in touch, it was very beneficial for the Tang Dynasty to understand the West, and after eradicating Tibet, it could form an alliance with Sasanid to attack the Turks from east to west.

To put it bluntly, the Sassanid mission to Chang'an has already planted the seeds of Turkic demise.
