Datang first village

King Jie is also a great king. When he first took over the throne, he had only a few thousand soldiers and horses. .

He likes elephants, more like elephant soldiers.

Right now, he has 20 fine tax elephant soldiers under his command. [-] cavalry, and larger infantry, not including those small states attached to him.

The powerful army allowed him to ignore all the countries in the world. The big cannibals were defeated, the Persians were defeated, and the conquest of the entire Tianzhu was only a step away, without the obstacles of mountains, and without the muddy rivers, all he conquered footsteps.

Not only King Jieyue himself believed this, but also his prey in the north, King Zheqilou.

When welcoming the incomparably noble King Qin of the Tang Dynasty into his royal city, the noble King Zheqilou kept his head slightly lowered. After seeing the might of the Tang Dynasty, he knew that this was a beast no weaker than King Jieyue. s country.

Entering the main hall, Li Yuanxing went straight to the main seat without waiting for the host to greet him.

This is a very bad habit, a bad habit cultivated by the nobles of the Tang Dynasty.In the Tang Dynasty, apart from the Emperor Li Er and the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, no one needed Li Yuanxing to give up his seat.

Li Yuanxing, who was thinking about Xuanzang, walked to the main seat a little unnaturally.

With this action, the guards of Zheqilou Palace almost stopped their heartbeat. If they didn't move, they would be disloyal to King Zheyue.

But to everyone's surprise, King Zheqilou sat casually on the side seat.

Fortunately, Li Yuanxing came to his senses at this time, and stood up again: "I'm sorry, I just lost my mind." After finishing speaking, Li Yuanxing sat down on the opposite side of Zheqilou King, and gave the topmost chief seat to the empty seat. out.

King Zheqilou didn't say anything. From the first time he saw Li Yuanxing, King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, he knew that this was no longer as simple as a master, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a god in the world.Such a person ignores everything around him. It can be said that nothing can enter his eyes.

There are mountains of gifts, but I just picked a small stone.

This is for the heart, and it is also for the owner's face.

After sitting down, King Zheqilou once again mentioned the idea that Datang was the suzerain state, and the location of the port was at the discretion of Datang, and corresponding places would be set aside for merchants from Datang to live in. And it is allowed to arrange some guards.

Li Yuanxing didn't answer immediately, but turned his head to Pei Xi and said, "This king suddenly thinks that the Jieyue Empire should disappear."

"Your Highness said to disappear, so naturally it will disappear."

Then Li Yuanxing said to King Zheqilou: "You don't need to ask for soldiers, and you don't need to ask for weapons. It's time for the mere King Jieyue to disappear, and he can be wiped out in one battle."

"His Royal Highness King Qin, Jieyue King owns..." King Zheqilou wanted to persuade.

Li Yuanxing waved his hand lightly, indicating that he needn't say anything, because it doesn't make much sense to argue about how strong the king is.For this sake, it is enough to prove everything with facts.

"King Zheqilou, you don't need to take part in the battle one by one. It's enough for your soldiers to clean up the battlefield."

"May I ask His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, how many people are you planning to send to the battle?"

After the king of Zheqilou asked, Li Yuanxing did not answer, but said to Pei Xi: "In the name of this king, I called the Ministry of War. Jie said that the king has 20 elephant soldiers, [-] fine cavalry, and a large number of infantry. Ask the Ministry of War , what kind of configuration can win the battle, what this king wants is complete victory, and we must consider mountain warfare and water warfare!"

After hearing this, Pei Xi saluted and retreated.

King Zheqilou knew that Datang had a magical device for transmitting messages over long distances. He had never seen it before, but he had heard of it.Each one is guarded by elite sergeants. Apart from protection, each of these sergeants has a self-destructive heart. Once there is danger, they will destroy themselves and the artifact at the same time.

Watching Pei Xi go out, King Zheqilou was looking forward to the military strategy plan that Datang would come up with.

It seems that the business needs to stop for a while, and Li Yuanxing is casually chatting about some customs and other topics.

On the other side, Datang Chang'an City.

In fact, Hou Junji, Minister of the Ministry of War, had just returned to Chang'an. He went to the west to patrol the border. He had a feeling that the Tang Dynasty might be going west, so he paid attention to the border towns in the west.

"Hou Shangshu, a telegram from Tianzhu. It is signed by His Highness King Qin." A subordinate sent the telegram here.

Hou Junji's first reaction when he received the telegram was not how many troops could destroy that King Jieyue's hundreds of thousands of troops, but who would lead the troops this time.The trouble is not that there are no generals, but that these generals are already too idle. All small battles are at the rank of lieutenants and lieutenants, not to mention the generals, even the generals are idle.

His fiefdom is already on the right track, and the military generals are far inferior to those businessmen at home in terms of business.

Knocking on his forehead, Hou Junji said softly: "Go and say hello to the Divine Fire Guard, Raging Flame Guard, and Thunder Guard. They may be sending troops to fight abroad. Let them make some preparations, who to take, and how much to bring. People go, the military department still needs to think about it, and also ask the Holy One for instructions."

The adjutant received the order but did not leave.

Hou Junji's face sank: "Hurry up!"

"Hou Shangshu, you didn't finish your order, so I didn't dare to go out. This is tantamount to saying that war is going to start. It may take half a day to run the distance between the three guards. I am afraid that I will be beaten by the generals and I can't give it to Shangshu. You're running errands."

This is not nonsense, Hou Junji himself is suffering from severe headaches.

"Forget it, tell them that this Shangshu will select generals, and ultimately the Holy Majesty will decide. This time, for the battle..." Hou Junji couldn't continue, not knowing which guard should be selected first.In the end, there was really no other way, and Hou Junji came up with a sentence: "Said Ben Shangshu invited them to play mahjong, each with a hundred chips."

"Decree!" Only then did the lieutenant happily accept the order.

But Hou Junji was arranging his robes and ordering someone to hand over the sign first. He wanted to see Li Er, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, at the same time, they also sent people to invite Zhongshu Ling Li Jing, and of course Fang Du Erxiang.

When the Ministry of War set up the mahjong table and dozens of generals were cursing loudly, in Li Er's study room, Fang Xuanling pressed the desk: "My lord, the problem of this battle is not in combat. It is not in logistics. , all the fiefdoms in the foreign war unconditionally support the expedition army. Of course, this time the enemy has nothing to fight."

Li Er naturally understood this.

What about the king of Jieyue, it doesn't matter if you shout that you are very powerful, Datang dared to fight you ten years ago, and now Datang has no enemies in his eyes.

Fang Xuanling continued: "Your Majesty, how to distribute the benefits may be the reason why Hou Shangshu dare not decide. Naturally, it is also the reason why His Royal Highness King Qin called the Ministry of War."

"My lord, I'm afraid Goro doesn't want to participate in the distribution of benefits this time."

When Li Yixin talked about benefits, he must have taken the lead.

But for the rest of the benefits, who will be responsible for the distribution, how much will be given to those small states, how much will be given to each fiefdom, and how much will be given to the noble families.After laying down, who will manage the land.

It's too far away, unless the flying boat is used to go back and forth, it is unrealistic for Datang to manage directly.

But it must not be handed over to King Zheqilou. It is said that the land area is not smaller than that of Datang, and the population is nearly 2000 million.Such a foreign country will definitely be the enemy of Datang in the future.

While Li Er was thinking, Eunuch Gao came in with a telegram.

"My lord, His Royal Highness King Qin has sent another telegram."

Li Yuanxing ate lunch with King Zheqilou, chatted some gossip, and then told him to prepare the army for war, then returned to his resting place, and sent someone to send another telegram.

Li Er looked at the telegram. This is Li Yuanxing's detailed account of Tianzhu's situation.

Jie said that they can be killed there, and then they will be divided into dozens of small states.But at this time, the problem came out, the king of Zheqilou was too powerful, accounting for one-third of Tianzhu, how to let him be safe.Or it is still a country on the surface, but in fact it creates some territories that are not under his control.

Killing is definitely the next best thing to do.

Once this opening is opened, no one in the world would dare to seek refuge in Datang.

Currency control is only one way, and another way of double insurance is needed.

In the words of Li Yuanxing, if the foreign countries do not fight among themselves, they will unite to fight against the Tang Dynasty.The extended meaning of this sentence can also be understood as, if there is no internal fighting between the various fiefdoms of the aristocratic family, they will unite to fight against the Tang royal family.

If this question was put in the past, Li Er would definitely ask Li Yuanxing what he meant.

Right now Li Yuanxing doesn't seem to want to care about these anymore, he just puts forward some key points.

Li Er sighed softly: "Go and tell Tianying Pavilion, just tell me what I said, there must not be a unified country here in Tianzhu, so they have to give points, how to divide, they come up with an opinion. I have said something first, the soldiers must be dispatched immediately, and the majesty of my Tang Dynasty cannot be weakened."

Eunuch Gao quickly bent down and obeyed Li Er's instructions.

At the end, Li Er added another sentence: "Tell them again, they are all people with status in Datang, so don't go and quarrel in Tianying Pavilion for small profits like a few bags of rice."

Tianying Pavilion!There are no tables and chairs, no glass drinking glasses, and no sharp objects of any kind.Everything must have rounded corners. The entire Tianying Pavilion is covered with carpets, and drinking water is made of stainless steel cups. The surrounding pillars are all wrapped in cotton, and even the doors are covered with thick leather.

This kind of soft bag is not good for fire prevention, and at least [-] water bottles are hung directly on the roof of the house. Each water bottle can hold about two buckets of water, just because there is a danger of sudden fire here.

According to Tianying Pavilion's record last year, 400 people were injured, 17 people were seriously injured, and two people were disabled.

Li Er now has a headache whenever he mentions Tianying Pavilion, and there are quarrels all day long here, both for state affairs and for the royal family.For the self-interest of different forces, there will be quarrels.

Otherwise, how could there be a soft-covered conference hall?

Li Er didn't want to say that the Ministry of War reported the battle losses of all the regular Tang troops in the Tang Dynasty for the whole of last year.It was only 200 people injured, nine seriously injured, and no death or disability. (To be continued.)
