Ji Tang

Chapter 1157: Take control of the overall situation and clear the clouds!
"Contact Ji Song!"

He Lu nodded numbly.

In the Tang Dynasty's Khotanchi camp, in the Chinese army's tent, Ji Song was in a daze with a letter in his hand!
Cheng Yaojin turned a blind eye to Cheng Yaojin who suddenly came in with a strange look on his face. This made Xu Jingzong on the side keep looking back and forth on their faces, as if he was exploring something.

eccentric!
There is definitely some big gossip that he doesn't know about.

He had a hunch that this might happen soon.

"Where are they?"

Putting down the letter, he said calmly.

"We should have passed Yumen Pass. We are probably at Shazhou now. It may take a month to get here."

The fire of gossip in Cheng Yaojin's eyes was about to burst out. Oh my god, Princess Pingyang is here? When he knew the news, he almost choked to death while he was eating!
"What are you all thinking about? Boring!"

After glaring at the two of them, Ji Song turned around. Just when everyone thought he didn't want others to see him making a stink, Ji Song's words came over.

"Old Xu, I have a task for you!"

Xu Jingzong was stunned for a moment, suddenly feeling frightened, but before he could refuse, he heard: "Go to the Beiting Protectorate immediately, and no matter what method you use, you must persuade the princess to return to the capital. If it doesn't work, you can We must let him stay in the rear area, otherwise you, a long history man, will stop doing this and return to the capital to wait for His Majesty to be punished!"

"You are indifferent to all the events in the Western Region. Although you are acting wisely to protect yourself, it remains to be verified whether you were involved or not. Do you think so?"

Xu Jingzong's face turned pale and his whole body was shaking. He was not frightened, but angry.

I’ve seen this damn ability to confuse right and wrong and make things out of nothing, it’s so shameless!
"What? Don't want to?"

"Ah, there are many matters in the army. If the subordinate is not here, I'm afraid..."

He wanted to use this as an excuse to excuse him, but who was Ji Song?
"No need. Your Majesty has written a letter saying that the Duke of Ju, Duke Tang, is coming. Judging by the time, he will probably arrive soon. You will be fine as long as Duke Tang is here."

"Everything is complicated in this army, and Duke Tang is old."

"It's okay! As long as I'm here, nothing will happen!"

Xu Jingzong struggled in vain, and in the end he could only say with a mournful face: "I'm an official. Take your orders!"

"Then I will go and take over the affairs, and we will set off tomorrow and the day after?"

But Ji Song's next words completely shattered his idea of ​​stalling for time. He only heard: "Oh! Time is urgent. Go back and pack up before setting off. Our guild will send personal soldiers to escort you."

Okay, all the escape routes are blocked, what can we do?
"I understand!"

Ji Song turned around and looked at Xu Jingzong who was gritting his teeth with a smile. He suddenly felt that sometimes sensible people are always easy to get along with, don't you believe it?Then look at the person in front of you?
When he and Lao Cheng were left in the tent, the two stared at each other, and the atmosphere was extremely strange for a moment!

"Princess Pingyang"

"Cough cough!"

Ji Song hurriedly coughed a few times and said expressionlessly: "I heard that Duke Qiao has asked for war many times. Now that the elite of Tubo are gathered here, he really has nothing to do in Tubo. Why don't we invite him too?"

The corner of Cheng Yaojin's mouth twitched, thinking about what Chai Shao would think when he found out about this?
Even though this kid was asking him, he probably had already made up his mind!
"Well, I think it's OK!"

There is no other way. This aunt came to Anxi. If something happens, who can tell clearly?Or should he ask his husband to get the price together so that everyone can feel at ease?

He didn't want anything unexpected to happen at this time!
"Okay, that's it!"

Ji Song nodded happily and started writing the transfer order directly on the desk without any delay!

There are two copies, one is sent to Chang'an and the other is sent to Dongnu Kingdom.He also ordered the messengers from Chang'an to be delayed, while those from Dongnu Kingdom must be sent immediately. They would change horses without changing people on the way, and it would be expedited for five hundred miles!
"report"

Just when Ji Song was relieved, an emergency call came from outside the tent, and both of them were stunned!
"Report to the General, the Turks are rebelling and a messenger has come, saying they want to talk to the General!"

Both Ji Song and Cheng Yaojin were shocked. Talk about it?What to talk about?
"Go down and ask people to entertain you. Just say that I am busy with business and will see you again in a few days!"

"promise!"

The soldiers retreated, and Ji Song stroked the short beard on his chin thoughtfully. If nothing else happened, He Lu wouldn't be able to hold on any longer.No wonder, not to mention how many people died, even their cattle and sheep suffered heavy losses, and they were trapped in this three hundred-mile radius, with nowhere to go even if they wanted to plunder.

The Tang Dynasty had not really conquered this area, and the best land was still occupied by the Tang Dynasty's Khotanchi Camp. It was blocked by the Gobi Desert to the north, and to the south and west by numerous mountains.

It’s not easy to replenish food and grass!

"Send the order, Duke Zhai Yang comes to discuss matters!"

"promise!"

Soon, Guo Xiaoke, who got the news, came to the big tent. Looking at his anxious look, he obviously got the news!

"General, I heard that the Turks are negotiating?"

Ji Song motioned for him to sit down, and then said: "I came here to talk. The person who came is the Great Elder of Western Turks. He has great prestige in Western Turks. Although he does not have much real power, he can influence many things in Western Turks. He is now the think tank of the Western Turks!"

"It seems they are sincere!"

Cheng Yaojin thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about it?"

"No!"

Ji Song shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not enough!"

"General Guo!"

"Immediately lead [-] Tang Dynasty cavalry and [-] Tubo cavalry, plus [-] servants, and slowly advance towards Suiye City. Remember, walk slowly, if you encounter anyone on the road, cattle, sheep Yes, bring back those who can be brought back, and those who cannot be brought back will be killed and eaten for meat!"

"The soldiers are fighting with us, we can't suffer them, right?"

Guo Xiaoke was a little confused when he heard this. What does this mean?
"You mean to keep up the pressure?"

Cheng Yaojin's eyes lit up and he said: "The fact that they are here to talk now means that they have reached the point where it is unsustainable, but the great elder just came to talk, which means they can still hold on. So, we continue to attack , continue to exert pressure until they can’t hold it anymore?”

"Yeah, it's not right!"

Facing the confused looks of the two people, Ji Song said quietly: "I have no intention of negotiating with them at all. There are only two ways in front of them. Either leave a large number of Turks and move westward in light clothes, or negotiate with the Tang Dynasty." Fight a decisive battle,"

"If we win, then there is nothing to say. The Western Union will eat hard, and Tibet in the south will not be stable. When the time comes, hundreds of thousands of troops will march eastward. Naturally, you can take whatever you want."

"But if we lose, then there is no need for the Turkic race to exist anymore. Maybe there will be a few entries in the history books!"

"So, He Lu doesn't dare to gamble!"

"And at such a critical juncture, he didn't even dare to put all his money on it!" "Once we start a war with the Turks at all costs, no matter whether we win or lose, they will not be able to get involved in the Western Regions, and maybe they will be devoured by the sudden arrival. Swallow it!”

Guo Xiaoke was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Is it possible that he could be recruited by the Big Eater?"

"That would be even more unacceptable to He Lu than the genocide!"

"The Great Eclipse is not the Great Tang. Look at the countries that were destroyed. Which one didn't destroy its ancestral temples, destroy its civilization, spread its religion, and change its ways?"

"In Dashi, you can only believe in their Allah, everything else is heresy!"

Ji Song seemed to be talking about an insignificant thing, but Cheng Yaojin and Guo Xiaoke were sweating coldly below.

"So, as long as He Lu is not stupid, he will never surrender to Dashi. What he wants is for both the Tang Dynasty and Dashi to suffer, instead of being the mantis himself and being eaten up by the oriole behind him!"

"Therefore, either fight with the Tang Dynasty and then move westward, and wait for the results of the Great Eclipse and the Tang Dynasty before making a decision. Or decisively abandon the old, weak, women and children, and lead the elite and young men to move westward to wait for the opportunity!"

"Because he knows that no matter whether Dashi wins or Datang wins, he will benefit. If Datang loses, he can advance into the Western Regions and even fight back to the grassland again, reappearing as the overlord of the grassland."

"If Dashi loses, then the journey to the west will be much easier, and we may even capture the empty west of Dashi! Maybe we might get poisoned by going south. In this way, the situation of westward migration, which was originally full of crises, will be completely opened up."

"The best of both worlds!"

The two of them looked at Ji Song in admiration stupidly. Is this a fucking war?Shouldn't fighting involve attacking each other with real swords and guns?Why is this all a fucking conspiracy?

All the causal relationships were confusing to them, which was why Guo Xiaoke needed reinforcements from the court.The Western Regions, Anxi, Dashi, Shendu, Western Turks, and Western countries, there are so many connections among them that he simply cannot understand them.

But under Ji Song's peeling, everything about the Western Turks was clearly laid out in front of them, just like the clouds were clearing and the sun was revealed.Now we just need to solve the problem in a targeted manner.

It’s not like he was confused at that time because he had a tiger eating a hedgehog and had nowhere to catch it!
"So, He Lu still has hope of defeating me, the Tang Dynasty?"

Guo Xiaoke's eyes lit up. After all, he was a veteran of the Tang Dynasty's southern and northern wars. He had a lot of experience in his life. After Ji Song cleared away the clouds and fog in front of him, he completely understood!
"Not bad!"

Ji Song nodded with a smile and said, "So, now everyone knows what to do?"

"I know, I know everything."

Cheng Yaojin shouted loudly: "Isn't it just to defeat them? I, Old Cheng, am good at this!"

"No, you still don't understand!"

Cheng Yaojin's laughter suddenly stopped, and only Guo Xiaoke said thoughtfully: "The general's intention is to cripple him!"

He said with a sinister smile: "Even if you have a chance to benefit from hitting them, you don't dare to take advantage of the Tang Dynasty. Just stay alive and let them cause harm to the Tang Dynasty!"

Ji Song smiled, nodded and said: "Now that you know it, let's do it. I don't care what method or means you use, I just want to see the results!"

Guo Xiaoke and Cheng Yaojin looked at each other and saw the blazing fire in each other's eyes.

"promise!"

On the tenth day, for ten days, the great elder stayed in the Tang Army camp for ten days. When he heard the sound of troops mobilizing outside and the sound of horse hooves heading west, he couldn't sit still at all.

Datang had no intention of talking to them at all, and would rather destroy both the Western Turks and the Great Eaters in the future, or even be defeated.

Madman, this Ji Song is simply a madman!

He regretted his decision to follow He Lu's advice and take advantage of the fire between the two great powers.This was the case in the Tang Dynasty, so I guess Dashi was not much better.

Once Datang is defeated, they will definitely not get anything good to eat.

When two strong powers are fighting, is there any reason for the weak to watch?

"Jisong, you bastard, let me out, you lunatic. Let me out, I want to see Ji Song!"

"Let me out"

Ji Song's expression didn't even change when he heard the soldier say that the old guy wanted to see him and cursed at him.Just let the people below treat you well, don't neglect it!
This old guy still has some use, but he can't die now!

The army of the Tang Juntianchi camp was dispatched. He Lu, who had been paying attention to the movements here, knew about such a big movement immediately.But now there has been no news since the Great Elder went to Tang Camp. What does Datang mean by doing this?
"What does Ji Song want to do?"

"What does he want to do?"

He Lu is like a wild beast that is about to go crazy. He has had enough of this kind of fearful life!

"Come on!"

"Sweat!"

He Lu gritted his teeth and said: "Since the Tang Dynasty wants to fight, then let's fight. Even if we die, we will bite off a piece of their flesh!"

"Instead of sitting and waiting to die, it is better to fight to the death!"

"Send the order, gather the army and fight against the Tang army!"

Then, no matter what the people below thought, he put on the armor under the service of the maid.

To be honest, under the current situation of Western Turks, people don’t want to fight at all.If it weren't for He Lu's vow to profit from the fisherman between the two countries, they would have started moving westward long ago.

If I had wanted to fight long ago, would I still be able to get it now?
After being suppressed and beaten by the Tang Army in these years, I have long heard that the Tang Army's demeanor has changed. Before the fight, the morale has dropped by three points. How can we fight this battle?
But now Suiye City is full of He Lu's cronies. If they dare to contradict him, it is not impossible to sacrifice their heads to the flag.Everyone looked at each other and retreated in silence.

All this is in He Lu's eyes, but he doesn't care!
"Order people to watch them carefully and kill them on the spot if there is any abnormal movement!"

"Yes, sweat!"
-
Cheng Yaojin and Guo Xiaoke led the army to Suiye Town. When they were nearly a hundred miles away, the scouts came to report.

"General, the Turks have moved, and the army is coming out, coming towards us!"

Guo Xiaoke chuckled and said to Cheng Yaojin: "As expected by the general, He Lu still can't hold his anger. He is still young after all!"

"It's good to be young and have a lot of energy! But if you overdo it, that's stupid!"

The two of them did not take He Lu seriously at all. When Ji Song analyzed He Lu's purpose, they knew that He Lu would not fight with Datang as long as he did not want to die.It seems that the army is coming with great force, but only God knows how many people want to fight.

"I wonder what happened to the man who sneaked into the Turk camp? Don't be discovered by then!"

Cheng Yaojin seemed to think of something and said with some expectation.

"Don't worry, I know that person, and nothing serious will happen. And there were quite a few gangsters who sneaked into the Turkic camp. How can you tell the difference between the real ones and the fake ones?"

"Look, maybe he can give us a surprise!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, like an old fox who had stolen a chicken.
