Ji Tang

Chapter 1163 Thank you for your hard work!
Khotanchi camp, Chinese army tent!
At this time, Ji Song had not yet arrived, and all the generals were chatting and laughing with each other, among which Liu Hongji laughed the loudest.He really couldn't suppress the joy in his heart!

In this confrontation with hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry, to be honest, when he came, he was ready to die on the battlefield at any time.He had been fed up with losing everything in recent years. The reason why he came to Anxi was that he could not die on the hospital bed even if he died.

But who would have thought that the once arrogant Turks would lose, and lose completely, even losing their underwear.

This time, nearly 30 prisoners were gathered, including nearly 50 old, weak, women and children from the Western Turks.Among them were hundreds of bandits who had been sent from the Western Regions to seek refuge with the Western Turks. Of course, these people had nothing to say and could only die.

They killed more than [-] Turks and captured more than [-]. It can be said that they lost everything!
Although he did not contribute much in this war, he only acted according to orders as the commander-in-chief of an army.But he gathered many more prisoners, and he captured a total of 5 to [-] people. With such a big contribution, his title was considered stable, and the Liu family would not have to worry about the wealth of the Liu family for decades to come.

At this time, Tang Jian was talking to Guo Xiaoke and Cheng Yaojin.

The three of them have not seen each other for many years. Plus one is in the Western Region and the other is living in seclusion in the academy. The opportunities for them to meet are very rare.

The three of them shared the joys and sorrows back then. As the old men of the Prince of Qin's Mansion, their relationship was deep.This meeting was full of talk, and I laughed heartily for a while!

"I didn't expect you to come to Anxi either? Your Majesty is too old. What if you die in the Western Region? Do you still need me to carry you back?"

They were all half-body people in coffins, and since they had experienced battlefields, they actually looked away from those who would die.Faced with Cheng Yaojin's joke, Tang Jian just blew his beard and glared, that's all!
"Don't talk about it yet. I get really angry when I talk about this."

Tang Jian said helplessly: "You think I want to come? I'm not forced to do this. If I don't come, I won't even be able to enter the academy!"

"Oh? Why is this? With your reputation, who would dare to deny you entry to the academy?" the two asked curiously.

"Who else could it be? It's not that old guy from Baishan. I heard that Ziyi was in danger in Anxi. At that time, His Majesty was vigorously looking for people to come to the Western Regions to support him. No, this old bastard actually set his sights on me. He was stunned. I found him out of the library, but that wasn't the end of it, I tried to persuade him first, but when I failed to persuade him, he became a rogue."

"Good fellow, the students in the academy heard from somewhere that I would not save him until he died, so they came to my courtyard one by one to petition."

"What do you call this?"

"If I don't come here again, I'm afraid I won't be able to guarantee the end of the festival!"

Cheng Yaojin was stunned, and he and Guo Xiaoke looked at each other and burst out laughing!
Tang Jian didn't take it seriously, just laugh, he was used to it anyway.As a self-proclaimed heir to the political strategist family, he is so shameless!
"It really is"

The two of them couldn't laugh or cry either. Didn't they expect that there would be such an episode?

"By the way, where is Ziyi? Why aren't you here yet?"

Seeing that Ji Song hadn't arrived yet, he asked aloud.

"He, the imperial doctor said that he is mentally exhausted and asked not to disturb him. He probably just got up right now and will be here later!"

At this point, Cheng Yaojin said worriedly: "This is also our fault. You also know a little about the situation in the Western Regions. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a mess. Lao Guo sensed something was wrong at the beginning, and then asked for help from your Majesty. .”

"When I came here, I laughed at him, saying that he had been fighting for half his life, and his courage had become weaker as he got older!"

"But after understanding it, I realized that this damn thing can affect the whole body. The big cannibal hasn't come yet, and all the surrounding forces are restless. That bastard He Lu directly rebelled against the Tang Dynasty."

"There are also Tuyuhun, Xiang Dang, Tochar, etc., all of which are in great turmoil. If you are not careful, it will be a disaster. At that time, the major governor's offices in the Western Regions were not under each other, and each was in charge of its own affairs. The power of Anxi alone was basically I can’t handle it!”

"Coupled with the fact that some bastards from Chang'an were causing mischief in the Western Region, the entire Western Region was like a powder keg that could explode if not careful. Fortunately, Ziyi made a decisive decision and first eliminated internal worries and integrated all the forces in the entire Western Region. Only then did he and all the forces The ability to challenge others.”

"Otherwise, we can only sit and wait to die!"

Later, he told Tang Jian about this conspiracy against the Western Turks. From the beginning of going to the Western Turks to infiltrate the sand, and later to the Liting sweep of caves, a bloody sweep, and then angered He Lu, detaining the elder, and completely Block the way of the Western Turks, forcing them to have a quick decisive battle with the Tang Dynasty!
"One link after another, one after another, great, it's so wonderful!"

Tang Jian was in a state of excitement. Although he had not seen all this with his own eyes, this overwhelming and almost one-sided decisive battle allowed him to see Ji Song's ability in layout.

It can be said that from the time when the Western Turks rebelled and wiped out the ghosts and monsters in the Western Regions, they were plotted against them, and then they were forced into a corner step by step. Either the strong men cut off their arms, leaving the old and weak women and children behind and moved westward; or they fought to the death with the Tang Dynasty. There was no third way. It’s time to go!
Do you still want to wait until both the Great Cannibal and the Tang Dynasty will be harmed, and then they will benefit from it?

What a joke, Ji Song used great courage and tough tactics to force all the Turks' plans to go bankrupt.

He only gave the Turks two ways, either Datang and Datang were defeated, or get out immediately.But now it seems that Ji Song actually only gave the Turks one way, and that was a decisive battle!

It's okay if you don't want to fight, then just wait and be slowly cannibalized to death.Even if the cannibals come and the Tang Dynasty is defeated, your Turks will be severely weakened and will lose any advantage.With the cannibal's tyranny, will they be left as a hidden danger?

At that time, I am afraid that I will be able to swallow them up before attacking the Tang Dynasty!

They have seen the tyranny of the big cannibal. There are no allies. They must surrender or die. There is no other way!
"Now that the Turks' problem has been solved, can Ziyi have any say about so many prisoners? After all, these are hundreds of thousands of people. A little carelessness will lead to catastrophe, so we have to guard against it!"

Tang Jian was worried, and he won.But it's impossible for them to send a large number of soldiers to guard them, right?In addition, so many people consume a lot of food every day, and the burden is too great!
"No, but I have ordered not to embarrass them. They say it is of great use, but I don't know what it is for."

Cheng Yaojin shook his head and said, "That kid has something hidden in his heart, and sometimes he doesn't even tell us."

"Okay, what's the use of telling us? Why don't you just stare? You had the bad idea back then, about setting fire to the grassland. If Ziyi hadn't stopped, who knows what would have happened?"

Tang Jian heard this and looked at Cheng Yaojin, wondering: "Why burn the grassland?"

Cheng Yaojin had no choice but to touch his nose and recount the original incident.

"It's bullshit!"

Tang Jian's scalp went numb when he heard this, and he thought to himself, it's a good thing that Ziyi stopped him, otherwise he wouldn't have known how the battle would have turned out!
"You, you, this fire is so easy to set off? The Central Plains and the grasslands have been at war for hundreds of thousands of years, has no one thought of setting fire? From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to now, can you think of it?"

"It is easy to set a fire, but how to extinguish it? Once the fire is out of control, not to mention the grassland in front of you, I am afraid that no one within a thousand miles can escape. Once the fire is spread, all the surrounding tribal countries will not be able to fight against the Tang Dynasty? "

"If an accident spreads to our side, what will our cattle, sheep, and horses eat? Thousands of miles around will be reduced to ashes, and there will be no hope of recovery until a few months!"

"This is a method of killing a thousand enemies and damaging yourself by eight hundred. It should never be used except as a last resort or in desperate situations."

Facing Tang Jian's preaching, Cheng Yaojin's face was filled with embarrassment. He really didn't think well about this matter.

"Okay, okay, haven't you let it go? Just talk about it, I still want to be embarrassed!"

Tang Jian glared and said nothing more.Fortunately, he was stopped, otherwise he would have faced not only the Turks and the coming great food, but also all the surrounding forces.

The Tang Dynasty was strong, but it couldn't stand up to a pack of wolves!
"correct!"

Cheng Yaojin seemed to have thought of something and said solemnly: "What happened in Chang'an?" "For example, what do you think of this battle?"

Cheng Yaojin was also helpless. He shouldn't have asked this question originally, but now the Western Region could be said to have gathered the highest combat power of the Tang Dynasty. Whether it was weapons, armor, or generals, they were all the top people of the Tang Dynasty.

It would be a lie to say that the court is not worried, but I am afraid that His Majesty may have doubts in his heart.

"Do not worry!"

Tang Jian was an experienced man, so he certainly knew what Cheng Yaojin wanted to ask.He smiled and said: "Although some short-sighted people are clamoring, the important officials in the court are still very supportive. Anxi is the barrier of the Western Region. If Anxi is unstable, the Western Region will be unstable. If the Western Region is in chaos, Longyou will lose its voice. And Chang'an will also be in chaos. "

"Anxi seems far away, but it affects the whole body. If one area is frustrated, everything will be lost. Your Majesty is the emperor on horseback, and the prince also knows military matters. With Fang and Du helping from the side, there will be no chaos. Get up."

Guo Xiaoke breathed a sigh of relief, but he was worried that if they fought in the front, they would be held back from behind.It's not like this has never happened before. Emperor Sui Yang's saucy manipulations hurt everyone.Many of them were those who conquered Liao in the past, and no one understands the harm than they do!

"Do not worry!"

Tang Jian patted the shoulders of the two of them: "Your Majesty might be on guard against others, but Ji Song is different. Your Majesty has watched him grow up, and you all know his relationship with the royal family. Princess Pingyang's coming this time has already represented her. A royal attitude."

"Otherwise you think His Majesty will let her come?"

Cheng Yaojin widened his eyes and said, "So that's what you meant? I thought..."

Guo Xiaoke was also a little stunned. This old goblin had been whispering in his ears during this period, but now it seems that it is completely different!

"What? Does it have other meanings?"

Tang Jian was also stunned and said in confusion!
"Hahaha! It's okay, it's okay, we are all just guessing, hahaha!"

Cheng Yaojin wanted to make a joke, but who was Tang Jian?That was a man who claimed to be a descendant of the Zongheng family. How could he be fooled into passing?
Seeing their awkward looks, and then thinking about how they hesitated to speak when they met Xu Jingzong, I suddenly understood most of it!
"You are so filthy!"

Tang Jian's face turned red, obviously angry.

"You are still elders, how dare you believe this? Princess and Bah! How will you tell them to behave if this matter gets out? Chai Shao is coming too, let me see how you end up!"

"Hmph! Give me a lift! It's shameless for me to be in the company of you!"

Tang Jian was so angry that he blew his beard and stared. What are these bastards thinking in their minds?Pingyang and Ji Song?Fortunately for them, if this spreads out, both Ji Song and the royal family will be disgraced.

"Old Tang, Old Tang. Didn't we get sidetracked? It won't happen, it won't happen!"

Cheng Yaojin's face was full of embarrassment. It wasn't because he was thinking wildly, but because Princess Pingyang was extremely partial to Ji Songjian.Even my own son didn't have it so easy.It goes without saying when it comes to treating Chai Shao.

Who doesn't have random thoughts here?
"Shut up you!"

Tang Jian glared at them angrily: "Can you talk nonsense about this? It's not like you don't understand Ziyi, but he can do this? You are still his elders. Are you such an elder?"

"Then Xu Jingzong is going."

Guo Xiaoke wondered.

If it weren't for this reason, why would Ji Song send Xu Jingzong to stop Pingyang?

"Are you okay to say that?"

Tang Jian said angrily: "You all think so, which shows that the soldiers below are probably spreading the news. If Pingyang is really allowed to come to the Khotanchi Camp, will it be clear when the time comes?"

"Otherwise, Ziyi can call Chai Shao all the way here? It's better for you to avoid suspicion in this matter. You think about how to deal with it. It's not a big deal to just watch the fun."

"Okay, okay, please stop talking. I want to crawl into the cracks of the ground now. Now I am too embarrassed to see anyone."

Cheng Yaojin said with a rare blush.

"You can't take this matter lightly. As elders, you should keep an eye on it. When Chai Shao comes, send Pingyang to him as soon as possible. Your wife will watch over it herself."

At this point, Tang Jian was also full of resentment!

If you are the emperor, are you afraid of who will come?Why did Pingyang come here?

Isn't it all right?

In fact, there was something he didn't say out loud in his heart, that is, whether this thing is true or not, it must not be true.Even if it is true, it must be called false.

The princesses of the Tang Dynasty were not economical lamps. What those princesses did in Chang'an was simply lawless, and they had no regard for etiquette, justice and integrity.

"Anyway, it's best to clarify this matter as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too lively again!"

Tang Jian sighed, what's the matter!
"The general is here!"

Whoa!
Just as everyone was talking, a voice came from outside the battle. Everyone stood up quickly and stood respectfully on both sides!

Ji Song came to the big tent with an expressionless face, ignoring everyone, until he came to the commander's seat, and then said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please take a seat!"

"promise!"

Everyone agreed with a loud voice, their faces serious, and they did not dare to be careless at all!

This is power, the power gained from winning battles one after another.There are only strong men in the army, and only stronger people can make these proud soldiers stand in awe!
Ji Song looked around and was filled with emotion when he saw many new faces!
Many of these people are old, but they had to come all the way here because of the war.I wonder how many people can go back alive?

"Tang Gong, Liu Gong, Changsun Gong, Gao Gong."

"Thank you for your hard work!"
