Chapter 959 Royal Driving Expedition

The southward movement of such a large scale of cavalry exceeded Gao Xiaoyun's expectations, and when he first heard the news, he was terrified in his heart.

It has been shown that Yiran is trying in vain to eliminate the Tang Dynasty, at least to occupy the northern part of the Tang Dynasty.

This extraordinary war is a life-and-death struggle between two major powers.

If either side loses, the country may be wiped out, and the other side will be wiped out.

Fortunately, after several years of hard work, the Tang Dynasty soldiers are strong and strong, even though the south is flooded and the north is drought, it still has an advantage.

Since Yiran vainly tried to occupy half of the Tang Dynasty, why did the Tang Dynasty completely wipe out the Turks?

Moreover, the imperial court has secretly deployed for this for several years.

Yang Yue nodded slightly, clenched his fists, and said coldly: "Li Xuanqi went to the Khitan, and he didn't return for a long time, I guess that Yeluyao is mostly sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, the Tang Dynasty, and the Turks, and before the winner is decided, Yeluyao will not easily lead the Khitan wolf cavalry to participate in the battle.

However, don't forget, not only does the Tang Dynasty always want to destroy the Turks, but Sassanid also can't wait to destroy the Turks, and it's time to send a letter to Anthony, ordering him to cut off trade with the Turks, provide food to Yiran, and send a large army to attack the Turks from the Western Front!

The matter of winning over Sassanid needs to be carried out as soon as possible, Wen Renyu, you go to visit Sasan's chamber of commerce in Chang'an as soon as possible, and pass on my orders to the other party!"

"Your Majesty, we have been deploying this line for several years, however, as the Sassanids do business, in the Tang Dynasty, the Turks have obtained rich benefits, and Antony may not be willing to abandon business and follow Rong." Wen Renyu said with a worried face.

"Anyway, give it a try!" Yang Yue chuckled and said: "It would be better if Anthony rejected the Tang Dynasty's suggestion, after eradicating the Turks, the Tang army happened to take advantage of the situation to march westward, quickly eliminate Antony, and take the money and grain earned by the Sassanids in the past few years as their own as military funds for the conquest of Sasani."

His vision will not be limited to the east of the Tianshan Mountains, the west of the Tianshan Mountains, Sasanian, Frankish, Chabaiting, and sooner or later the Duchyes of the Quartet will submit to the Tang Dynasty.

"Yes!"

Hearing this, he knew best Yang Yue's determination to go on the Northern Expedition to the West.

Seeing that Yang Yue was both vertical and horizontal, actively preparing for war, Wo Longsheng stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Zhongshu Ling is worried that it is true, at present, most of the generals in the court are fighting on the western front, and there are only good generals in Chang'an, and the last general suggested that not only General Luo and General Lin should be summoned, but also Guo Xiaoqi should be mobilized back from Hexi Road as soon as possible, and two generals, Li Yucheng and Yuan Mingsha, should be sent to lead the army north, and strive to rush to the aid of General Zhang as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the front line of Fengzhou."

After several years of hard work, Datang has today's glory, if the Turks resist outside the country, they will not break the city, and will not endanger the lives of the people!

What's more, on the front line of Fengzhou, whether several cities can be preserved means whether the Turks can plunder money, grain, and wealth.

If the cities on the front line of Fengzhou fall and the Turks grab the grain, not only will the war be prolonged, but also threaten Chang'an and other places, which is by no means a good thing.

Confrontation!

If the battle lasts from the end of summer to the cold winter, the Turkic cavalry heading south will be defeated.

"Li Yucheng must be mobilized, Yuan Mingsha must be assembled, Guo Xiaocai led the army to conquer Tibet, and he also has a lot of military exploits, and he can stand alone!"

Yang Yue bowed slightly, agreeing with Wolongsheng's proposal.

In the south, Ye Qinghu once led the army to quell the rebellion in the east, recovered Zhenjiang, and led the army to recover many areas in Longyou, but the two of them led the army to fight inexperience, Ye Qinghu only fought with the Khitans, but did not have the experience of fighting with the Turkic iron cavalry.

Nandao Ming has always been fierce, but he has little experience fighting with the Turkic elite cavalry.

To end the edge of the Turkic elite cavalry, you need to rely on the Tiger Ben general under his account!

This time the Tang army fought against the Turkic iron cavalry was a protracted matter, and all aspects must be properly prepared, and the enemy must not be taken lightly.

"Wo Longsheng, you send a letter to Guo Xiao as soon as possible, and ask him to hand over the front-line battle to Zhang Xuanheng, cross the river from the direction of Lingzhou, secretly go north, and raid the military tent of King Zuoxian!" Yang Yue coldly instructed, and when he thought about it for a while, he said: "Give the king of Shu, He Hengrui, an order, Dao Ming about the Northern Expedition, and make them fully responsible for the elimination of Tibet.

Northern Expedition to the Turks, I am the Emperor and I am personally conquest!"

The Turkic army of 400,000 is pressing, and the northern part of the Tang Dynasty is in dire straits.

What's more, he has long had the idea of destroying the Turks, and this battle will not be easily missed!

Yang Yue mentioned that the royal driver was pro-Zheng, Gao Xiaoyun, Wolongsheng, Wen Renyu and other officials heard the voice, but no one came out to refute it.

With their previous experience, they know very well that no matter how they refute it, according to Yang Yue's character, they will never change!

At present, the ministers didn't say much, Yang Yue got up and said: "The military situation is urgent, we can't delay any longer, you Aiqing hurry up!"

After that, Yang Yue got up and walked outside the council hall!

Arriving at the inner palace, Yang Yue explained to Yuwen Linxuan, Princess Zhaoyang, and Xu Wennuo, and ordered the emperor's eldest son to supervise the country, and by the way, he took Adenuolan and He Qinxin out of the palace!

When they left the palace, Zhao Xuanhu, Li Yucheng, and Yuan Mingsha had already led 100,000 forbidden troops to wait outside the city.

After witnessing Yang Yue and the three generals coming, Zhao Xuanhu said: "Your Majesty, everything is ready, set off at any time."

Glancing at the cavalry lined up, Yang Yue asked, "Are all kinds of ordnance, firearms, and grain and grass consumed in a few days ready?"

Through continuous efforts, the imperial court stockpiled a lot of firearms, as well as all kinds of improved firearms, and these firearms played a huge role when Shuwang led the army in the battle of Tibet.

In this battle, when the Tang army arrived in the north, it must first take a large-scale counteroffensive, regardless of whether the cities on the front line of Fengzhou were lost or not, they would bring an indelible shock to the Turks.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, everything is ready!" Zhao Xuanhu nodded!

Yang Yue nodded, and said to Yuan Mingsha: "General Yuan, you lead 30,000 elite cavalry, day and night, as soon as possible to the surrender of the city, if the city is not broken, you quickly take over, lead the troops to resist the Turks, if the city falls, in the south of the surrender of the city deployment, be sure to block the pace of the Turkic elite cavalry south!"

Li Yucheng, you lead 30,000 elite cavalry to Shengzhou and make a defense according to the situation on the front line.

Remember, try not to clash head-on with the Turkic elite cavalry at present, and wait for Luo Shishang, Lin Kaiyue, and Guo Xiaocai to lead the army from all directions, and when the Tang army is strong, we are looking for a good opportunity to counterattack in an all-round way!"

Li Yucheng and Yuan Mingsha heard the sound, vaguely guessed Yang Yue's plan, and clasped their fists and said: "Don't worry, the emperor will lead the army to the north, and he will definitely block the Turks and never let them go south!"

"Good!"

The two generals did not hesitate, turned around and mobilized 30,000 elite horsemen each, and the army marched towards the north.

At this time, Zhao Xuanhu looked at Yang Yue with a serious expression and said: "Your Majesty, according to the current situation, even if all the generals lead the army to assemble, the Tang army will not have 300,000 elites when it is fully armed, can it stop the Turks?"
