Changan!

Inside the palace!

Seven or eight days have passed since the defeat of Movor.

Yang Yue received good news from the front in Chang'an, but Lin Kaiyue also sent back news in the north.

Yelu Yao?

The old man sent his eldest son, Yeluqing, to the west to try to get in touch with Anthony.

Flanking the Tang Army!

"Your Majesty, Yeluyao did not hesitate to carry generous gifts and traveled a long way to the West, wanting to lobby Anthony and show Yeluyao's determination to fight to the death!" Zhongshu ordered Gao Xiaoyun to hold his fists, and he was angry at Yeluyao's actions.

In the early years, Datang did not have the ability to eradicate the Khitan, and still allowed the other party to survive.

Today, the Tang Dynasty is enough to tear the Khitan into eight petals, and the more arrogant Yeluyao is, the more he can't stay.

"That's right, Yelu Yao is ambitious and virtuous, so he must not stay!" The right servant shot Fan Hengwen said.

Yang Yue got up from the dragon chair, frowned slightly, and walked back and forth on the high platform.

He didn't consider the Khitan problem, in his eyes, no matter what Yelu Yao was capable of, no matter how desperately the Khitan wolf rode to resist, it was already like a swimming fish forced into the shallows, unable to set off any stormy waves.

Perhaps Zhang Xuanheng, Luo Shishang, and Guo Xiaoqi will encounter some crises in the conquest, but the Khitan will still be eliminated sooner or later.

Now, he was pondering the question of the expedition to the west.

Not only Antony, but also the Sassanid Empire behind him, and further away to the Bytin, the Frankish Empire.

It's an unprecedented expedition, and once the wheels of the war machine kick in, it's going to be a bloody and protracted battle.

In the middle of the order, the right servant shot, anxiously waiting, Yang Yue suddenly stopped, sat back on the dragon chair and said: "Ye Luyao, don't worry, the herald household department, the criminal department, from now on, close all trade posts on the border of the Tang Dynasty, and those who violate the order will be punished ten times." ”

In the summer, the Khitan also suffered a severe drought, and many areas did not harvest grain, and various tribes were in short supply.

At that time, in order to eliminate the Turks and stabilize the Khitan, they chose to trade with the Khitan to ensure that there would be no internal crisis.

The Tang Dynasty, the Khitan went to war, Yeluyao refused to surrender, and there was no need to sell grain to the Khitan anymore.

Gao Xiaoyun, Fan Hengwen, and Zhang Shaoqing looked at each other and bowed silently.

Without trade with the Khitan, the food that the Khitan can get is very limited, and seeing that winter is about to begin, there is not enough food, and this winter, the situation of the Khitan people will be worse than ever.

Yang Yue knocked his fingers on the desk, and when he thought for a while, he changed his words: "The Khitan survived the winter, and it won't last long, in the future, the enemy of the Tang Dynasty will be Anthony, and the Sassanid behind him." ”

Gao Xiaoyun, Fan Hengwen, and Zhang Shaoqing heard the voice, and they didn't feel the slightest surprise, before eradicating Yiran in the early years, the emperor had already planned for a long time.

Speaking of today, is it finally time to use troops against Sasanian?

"Your Majesty, Sassanid and the Tang Dynasty are far apart, and the labor division is on an expedition, and it is necessary to cross the Gobi, through the mountains and grasslands along the way, and besides, the ministers heard from the merchants from the Western Regions that the western princes are barren, and the Tang army must not mobilize the people!" Gao Xiaoyun suggested.

In his eyes, after occupying Silla, leveling the Bohai Sea, destroying Tibet, eliminating the Turks, and then eliminating the Khitan, the Tang Dynasty has achieved unprecedented territory in all dynasties and dynasties, and has become a great empire dominating the East.

Instead of trekking through mountains and rivers to conquer the west, it is better to wave his army to the south to eradicate small countries such as Nanzhao and Nanyue.

There is no need to go on an expedition for a barren territory.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is imperative to ensure the internal stability of the Tang Dynasty!" Zhang Shaoqing was also a little resistant.

However, a dead friend is a dead friend after all.

Fan Hengwen stepped forward, hugged his fists and said: "Zhongshu Order, Zuo Servant Shooting, Xiao Yun sent back the song from the Anxi Protectorate, and reported in the middle of the book, after his many investigations, the West is not as poor as we know, on the contrary, many areas are thousands of miles of fertile fields, and many empires are rich in gold and silver.

The most important thing is that I don't offend people, people may not offend me, Sassanid is already rich and powerful in the Tang Dynasty, what if the Western countries are eyeing the mountains and rivers on an expedition? ”

In a word, Gao Xiaoyun was scared, and Zhang Shaoqing was speechless.

If there is fertile soil and gold in the West, it is indeed worth raising troops to fight it.

One mountain does not tolerate two tigers.

In this vast continent, only one empire can exist.

Datang, it must be Datang!

After sinking for a long time, Gao Xiaoyun said: "Your Majesty, if you want to go on an expedition, you should arrange money and food in advance, soldiers should be brave, reconnoiter the distribution of troops in various places, and understand the guards everywhere." ”

Know yourself and your opponent, win all battles!

Moreover, expeditions to other countries.

"Don't worry about the Zhongshu order, the emperor is far-sighted, re-established the Anxi Protectorate, sent the military department to the book, and the powerful generals of the DPRK and China are going, not only to deter and conquer the states of the Western Regions." Fan Hengwenlang said with a smile, looking like he had already made arrangements.

Hearing the sound, Gao Xiaoyun was stunned, Zhang Shaoqing was killed!

Could it be that the emperor re-established the Anxi Protectorate in the first place, wasn't it to eradicate the Turkic power in the Tianshan region?

According to what Fan Hengwen said, the emperor has already made arrangements: "Right servant shooting, could it be that Xiao Yun and Guo Huaiyuan are already in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, hoarding enough money and food to train elite soldiers?" ”

"Elite soldiers, but 100,000, not worth mentioning!" In the dragon chair, Yang Yue waved his hand and said lightly: "However, there is enough money and grain, at least, the money and grain of the two departments of the Turkic Right Xian King and the Right Valley Liwang are all in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate. ”

Hiss!

The emperor really made arrangements?

No wonder they insisted on the expedition!

Gao Xiaoyun and Zhang Shaoqing secretly exclaimed.

In the past, he really despised the emperor's methods.

"Therefore, before the summer of next year, we must destroy the Khitan, and we can't affect the plan of the Western Expedition because of the Khitan!" Yang Yue had a firm attitude and said categorically, with an irresistible majesty in his voice.

"Whoa!"

Gao Xiaoyun, Zhang Shaoqing, Fan Hengwen are the head.

......

Northern Front.

Tang Camp.

Guo Xiaoqi led the army back to the camp, walked into the tent, didn't have time to wipe off the dirty blood on his face, grabbed the kettle for a while, and then said loudly: "It's enjoyable, it's really enjoyable." ”

Sitting on the cushion, he stared at the general and asked: "Last night, how many did the three armies capture, and what were the casualties of our army?" ”

Last night, he, Zhang Xuanheng, and Luo Shishang respectively led a lot of elite cavalry to rush to the Movol military camp from three different directions, and fought heartily in the middle of the night, turning Movol's camp into a sea of fire, and then each led the army away.

Finally, a few days ago, Morvolch attacked his camp for revenge.

"General, the Khitan casualties have not yet been counted, but except for General Luo, when he led the troops to triumph, our army was pursued and killed by Attila's department, and there were many casualties, the casualties of the Tang army were limited, less than 20,000." will be reported.

Although the casualties of the Movol Department have not been counted, it is estimated that there are not many of the 80,000 wolf horsemen of the opposing side who were either killed in battle or caught in the fire last night.

Tang Jun should have achieved another great victory!
