Ji Tang

Chapter 1167 Xu Jingzong’s troubles!

"Otherwise? Isn't it possible to kill them all?"

Ji Song rolled his eyes and said angrily.

Everyone looked at each other in shock when they heard this. They had almost counted the Turks down to the bone, and even calculated the last bit of value.

"This city is the last guarantee for our army. Once there is any disagreement, this will be the place where we will retreat. It is also the nail firmly planted in the Western Region. If this place is not removed, no one will dare to attack the Western Region in a big way."

The location here is great. As one of the few fertile lands in the Western Region, it is a rare and good place for grazing or farming.

In addition, it is located at the west end of the river valley. As long as a checkpoint is built at the west entrance, which is known as Ximen Pass by Ji Songming, once it is completed, Datang can advance and attack, retreat and defend, and it will be in an invincible position!
In addition, after leaving the valley, there is a vast area. Going north can cut off the retreat of the Great Eclipse, and going west can capture the rear of the Eclipse. The southwest is surrounded by mountains and snowy areas and deserts. As long as they are not blocked by people at the east entrance of the valley, they can go east You can get supplies continuously, cross the Tianshan Mountains, and reach Qiuci, and you are not afraid of being attacked from both sides!
Once this is successful, no matter what the consequences are, Datang will not lose all the Western Regions in one battle.

As the saying goes, before thinking about victory, think about defeat first. A general who only knows how to rush forward can only be a reckless man. He can be a general but not a commander.But often when you see the road ahead clearly, you also look behind you and think about the overall situation, that is the real talent.

Focus on the overall situation, take charge of the situation in the Tang Dynasty and other countries in the world, and stand at a higher place to see clearly the context and direction of the entire matter!
In fact, for the current Datang Dynasty, losing a game does not matter. The fear is that after losing, it will cause an avalanche of situations that will be out of control!
Therefore, he must consider what will happen if the battle is defeated. Although it may be a bit frustrating and demoralizing for them, but as the most commander-in-chief, he is not only thinking about winning or losing this war? , we must also consider the consequences of failure and minimize the harm, even if we cannot do our best.

"Is it too late to build a city at this time? The Great Eater is just around the corner now. If we can't build the city before the Great Eater comes, can they allow us to lay out our plans safely?"

Gao Kan raised his doubts. Yes, the Great Cannibal was not a fool. He may not know why the Tang Dynasty built the city at this time, but as long as the enemy wants to do something, we must destroy the principle. We must not just sit back and ignore it!

“You have to build it even if you don’t have time, and you have to build it quickly!”

Ji Song said flatly: "No matter what method you use, I must cooperate with Li Chunfeng unconditionally. There is no reason, no leeway, and no room for bargaining!"

"This is a military order. If it cannot be completed, military law will be dealt with!"

Regardless of the ugly faces of everyone, he looked at Li Chunfeng who was watching the show and said coldly: "I know that you want to develop Taoism, and I also know your thoughts. Do you think that since you are not a member of the military, you don't have to obey military orders?"

"Then I will tell you now that you have been requisitioned!"

"From now on, you are no longer just Li Chunfeng of Taoism, but also the city-building ambassador of the Tang Dynasty's Western Army. All matters related to the construction of the city are under your control. I will definitely do what I promise you, but if you dare to delay my It's a big deal, let alone your master Yuan Tiangang, it won't be easy even if your Taoist ancestor is here!"

"Don't think I'm being alarmist. If you don't believe me, try it!"

Li Chunfeng was dumbfounded. What the hell does this have to do with me?When did I agree to be the ambassador of Laoshizi City?Also court martial?

"not me."

"What? Do you want to disobey military orders?"

Ji Song looked at him with a sidelong look, as if he dared to say no even half a word and let you experience the consequences of disobeying military orders. Li Chunfeng immediately shut up!
"In addition, send light cavalry to Tochara to contact the forces of Tochara. Tang Dynasty will give them whatever they need. Weapons, armor, and food can all support them. There is no problem even sending troops to resist the cannibals."

"Tell them that if they can't resist, they should retreat eastward. The Tang Dynasty is their strong backing. The Tang Dynasty will never give up on them. They will definitely fight against the cannibals to the end!"

When Ji Song finished speaking, the hall suddenly fell silent, and the look he looked at was very wrong!

If you want people to fight to the death of Tocharo, just say so. Are you trying to become a bitch and still want to build a memorial arch?A moment of silence for Tochara again. You are unlucky to meet this man. Who made you happen to be between the two countries?
In addition to becoming a meat grinding ground for the two countries, it will also become an important area for the tug of war between the two countries in the future. You can imagine that in the future, all parties will gather here, and all kinds of monsters and monsters will come out.

It can also be predicted that Tocharo will become the most chaotic region in the world. No matter it is the Tang Dynasty or Dashi, they will not easily place the battlefield on their own land. Tocharo is just right. It is not a small place and it is in an important position. Territory, in this way, even if you don't want to cause chaos, it won't happen.

The only comfort may be that neither party will easily destroy Tochara, let alone let the other party destroy it.

"The general's plan is really clever. Taking advantage of the fact that Tocharor is fighting against the cannibals, supporting Tocharor from behind will not only bring us a die-hard ally, but also make the countries in the Western Regions see our Tang Dynasty. Determination to withstand the Great Eclipse.”

Tang Jian's eyes lit up and he continued: "These days, I have visited many small country leaders and tribal leaders. They are very worried about the coming of the cannibal. It is really that the cannibal is too domineering. Holding the Quran in one hand, Holding a sword in one hand. Those who believe in me will live, and those who oppose me will die. As far as I know, all the countries in the Western Regions have their own beliefs. Asking them to give up their beliefs is as difficult as asking the grassland people to give up their belief in the wolf god. Accept, this is scarier than killing them!"

"The Tang Dynasty was inclusive and open to all rivers. It never asked all ethnic groups and countries to give up their beliefs. If they had a choice, they would rather choose the Tang Dynasty than submit to Dashi."

"So, we represent the countries in the Western Regions to fight against the evil cannibals. We uphold our benevolent hearts and attack the unruly countries. This is why we have a reputation for being a master."

"In order to prevent the countries in the Western Regions from being cut off from their inheritance by the Great Eaters and from being enslaved by the evil country, the Tang Dynasty has the obligation and responsibility to declare war on the Great Eaters on behalf of the countries."

Everyone was shocked, Ji Song was also a little dazed, why didn't I think of this?

"Well, well, well, with a benevolent heart, we will attack the unethical country. We, the Tang Dynasty, are willing to hold high the flag of righteousness for the Western Regions and even the countries of the world, and fight against the cannibals until death!"

Okay, he is indeed a veteran in playing politics, this move is so convincing!

Since ancient times, teachers have been famous, and now, fighting the unruly food for the countries in the Western Regions means that teachers are famous.

"Send an order and immediately send people to spread the news about how the cannibals dealt with the defeated. There is no need to exaggerate. Facts speak louder than words. I believe everyone can see it."

"I'll leave this matter to you, Mr. Tang, and I'll give you another person!"

"Who?"

"Xu Jingzong!"
-
"Okay, my aunt, just do it. The general has spoken. If I can't complete my mission and skin me when I get back, please take pity on me!"

"If it doesn't work out, why don't we go sightseeing? Xianguan has spent a lot of time in the Western Regions. Although the mountains and rivers here are not as beautiful as those in the Central Plains, they are majestic and majestic, and the vast snow-capped mountains are even more unique!"

"Think about it, the snow-capped mountains are reflected in the lake, and the crystal clear lake water meets the sky. It's so beautiful. Don't you want to go and see it?"

Xu Jingzong felt like he was going crazy. He had been tricked by Ji Song. Who was Princess Pingyang?That was the hero among women who dominated a generation of men.If he were a man, what would happen to His Majesty today?

Even adding Jiancheng and His Majesty are not enough for this one pot of stew.I think back then, at his peak, he had more than 20 women's troops under his command. They were all elite troops fought in battles.It was because of being a woman that she had to give up military power and become a princess.

It's just normal. This person who doesn't fight or grab has never been involved in the court in these years. Everyone has almost forgotten this female war goddess.

"Get out of my way, if you dare to chirp again, I'll slap you!"

Pingyang looked irritated. This bastard kept talking in front of him like a fly. Along the way, he either tempted himself to go sightseeing or delayed the trip for various reasons.

How far is it from Shazhou to Tingzhou?It's been almost a month and it's not here yet.

At first she thought it was Ji Song who sent someone to pick her up, and she felt relieved, thinking that this boy was somewhat filial and knew how to care about her aunt.

But slowly she realized something was wrong. How could she be here to pick her up?It was obvious that he was blocking himself.

This Xu Jingzong is not a good guy, he is full of bad intentions, he is damn bad, but he can easily find excuses.If her subordinates hadn't discovered that this bastard stayed up half the night and secretly sawed the axle, she would have truly believed his lies!

That’s right, there are no carriage rides in Pingyang now.

Because the axle was sawed off by this old thing, but could this stop her?Remember that she was a frequent visitor to the battlefield back then, so she couldn't leave without riding a horse?
"Ji Qing, throw this old thing out immediately. I am upset when I see it!"

Ji Qing, who was watching the show on the sidelines, was unexpectedly hit in the fish pond and couldn't laugh or cry!
"What, do you think we should rest in Tingzhou? It's really dangerous on the battlefield right now!"

"Ok?"

Seeing Da Pingyang's expression, Ji Qing immediately changed the subject.He said: "But I've come here, what will happen if I don't go?"

Then he turned to Xu Jingzong and said seriously: "Xu Changshi, do you think so?"

Xu Jingzong's face turned dark. Neither the master nor the disciple were good people.The master cheated me, and this disciple also cheated me. I was born to be cheated by your master and disciple?
"Well, you're still sensible!"

Pingyang nodded with satisfaction after hearing Ji Qing's words.

"What do you think? Xu Changshi?"

What can Xu Jingzong say?However, my mind changed and I thought that based on time, the Chai Prince Consort should be arriving soon.Since you can't stop him, just delay it for one day. When Chai Shao comes, you will have completed your task. Then you can do whatever you want. With your consort watching over you, even if something happens, Chai Shao will be there. If you hold it in front, I'm just a bitch.

Although I thought so in my heart, I was still confused on my face: "It all depends on the princess!"

Pingyang was stunned. He thought this old guy wouldn't compromise easily, but he didn't expect that he would agree?

"Ok?"

Pingyang looked confused, but couldn't see anything, so he could only give up!As long as she doesn't stop herself anymore, she doesn't care about the rest!

When Pingyang came to the front, Ji Qing quietly approached Xu Jingzong and whispered: "What are you planning again? Don't blame me for not reminding you. The princess is holding back now. If you piss him off, I can't stop you." !”

He glanced at the little bastard and said expressionlessly: "I just obeyed the general's order. Now I am resolutely trying my best. Since I can't stop him, I have no choice but to go back and wait for disposal."

Ji Qing curled her lips and said, I believe you, if I believe you, even sows will write a letter!

Seeing as he didn't say anything, he had no choice but to give up!
Tingzhou, Beiting Governor's Mansion. Ever since Ji Song came to the Western Region, Qiao Shiwang has been a little restless. The imperial court issued an order a few days ago, which scared him so much that he almost fainted.But the better thing is that it is just a warning.He would be uneasy if the entire article was filled with compliments.It is better to be scolded by His Majesty than to be dealt with now.

The imperial edict stated that the imperial court knew about the shitty things he did in the Western Regions, and His Majesty remembered them.Now he is ordered to lead meritorious deeds in the Western Region to atone for his sins. If he dares to hold him back, he will be punished when he returns!
This was an injustice to him. If it was someone else, he wouldn't care too much. Anyway, no one would do anything to him.But here comes the evil star Ji Song. If he dares to go against his will and hold him back, then he really dares to kill him!
Now he only has Xie's soldiers guarding the city, and all the others have been transferred away.Apart from patrolling the city defenses and various forts every day, he had nothing to do the rest of the time.

All government affairs have been handed over to the Chang Shi Mansion and the county magistrates, and he has no way to get involved now.

Just when he was feeling sorry for himself, his own soldiers came to report that there was a group of cavalry outside the city, but they did not dare to let them in because of unknown identity, and asked him if he should go and take a look.

"Cavalry? Where did they come from? Whose flag were they flying under?"

Qiao Shiwang was stunned for a moment. This period of time was an eye-opener for him.Tang Jian, Liu Hongji, Changsun Shunde, Pei Renji and others who just came from Chang'an, as well as Gao Kan who borrowed the road from the grassland, these veteran generals are all here.

Who is coming now?

"It seems that they came down from the plateau. They are riding firewood. The general does not dare to make the decision. Please give me some supervision!"

"Plateau? Tubo people? Impossible!"

"Chai? Could it be?"

He was suddenly startled, and then thought of one person. If it was this person, it wouldn't be surprising if he came down from the plateau.

"Let's go and follow this governor out of the city to meet him!"

If it were anyone, I wouldn't dare to take it big.Although they are all princes-in-law, princes-in-law are also divided into three, six or nine grades.She is the daughter of Emperor Gaozu. Apart from the name of a princess, who knows who she is?

Soon, he came to the city wall and recognized the person immediately when he saw him.

"Chai Shao? Why are you here?" Qiao Shiwang asked in surprise.
