The most powerful emperor grandson of the Tang Dynasty

"Come on, sir, please take a seat."

Xiao Shougui was the leader, and the others were behind, and they directly gave Zhang Jiuli the seat. These people also knew very well that if Zhang Jiuli remained silent and allowed them to continue guessing here, they would not know what they would guess. It's time, after all, one person has one idea.

Although Zhang Jiuli was born as a prisoner, in the eyes of people like them, his brain is extremely useful. Li Xiang usually treats Zhang Jiuli well, so even if Zhang Jiuli's official position is not as good as theirs, he must respect those who should be respected. Zhang Jiuli also wanted to give them some advice from the bottom of his heart.

Xiao Shougui is still young. If he stays for a few more years, it will be easy to see Li Xiang's strategy clearly. But this guy is too busy right now and has no time to calm down. When General Mo Lun left, as Xiao Shougui in the eastern part of the Western Region , put all your efforts on the stability of the Western Region, how can you think about the overall situation in the future? Where did the time come from?

"Lord Protector, generals, if I were to make a bold guess, I think a war in the Western Region would be impossible within a year..."

Originally, these people were very excited, but after hearing Zhang Jiuli's words, several generals felt uncomfortable, and it showed on their faces. They were not thoughtful people, and everything was reflected on their faces, of course. This anger was not directed at Zhang Jiuli, but at Li Xiang.

It was clearly agreed at the beginning that as long as the Indochina issue is resolved, we will have to take the initiative to attack the Arab Empire. Now that you have defeated Vietnam, all the land belongs to us. Is it right? Isn’t it our army in the Western Regions? Are we still allowed to stay here for training? How long does it take to train for this?
"Why did you say this, sir?"

Xiao Shougui was too lazy to pay attention to these guys. In his opinion, these people were all reckless, and only he and Zhang Jiuli were using their brains.

"Master Protector, although the matter in the Indochina Peninsula is over, General Morun has just set off, plus three months of vacation. When he arrives in the Indochina Peninsula, it may be half a year later. His Highness will have to stay there for two days. Months of time, help General Mo Lun master everything, right?"

Zhang Jiuli knew that these people had extremely simple minds, so he had to give them a good analysis. After Zhang Jiuli said this, even if the people present were unwilling to admit it, they were extremely helpless. nodded.

What Zhang Jiuli said is correct. General Mo Lun is a native of the Western Regions. He traveled all the way to Indochina to become the Protector General. That was a great deal for military and political affairs. This also reflected the importance the court attached to General Mo Lun.

But General Mo Lun is a native of the Western Region after all, and he doesn’t know much about the situation there. If there is no one who can calm him down, many things may be different, so no matter how many things Li Xiang has, he will not be able to control the situation there. They will give General Moren a few months.

Although Zhang Jiuli said two months, anyone with a discerning eye can actually see that two months is absolutely impossible. If you calculate it carefully, it is possible in half a year. Zhongnan The peninsula is not so easy to manage, especially since the transportation between Indochina and my country is inconvenient. Although we now have maritime transportation, some things have to be solved. These people are not fools. They have followed Li Xiang in his wars for a long time. When you conquer a new place, can you trust the people outside? You won't be able to trust them until five years. Even after five years, only some of them can trust you. The remaining people will still regard you as an enemy and will stab you suddenly.

Therefore, in this case, there is no way to mobilize the troops on the Indochina Peninsula, and they must maintain a high-intensity garrison. In addition, there are many Fuso troops in the local area, so Li Xiang has to stay there for a while longer to let Only by integrating the various armies can we help the court better occupy the Indochina Peninsula and make this area the southern border of the Tang Dynasty.

"Then doesn't this mean that there is still hope within a year? Even if His Highness stays there for half a year, and the remaining time goes back to Chang'an for two months, and then he can come to our side to start a war, then there is still a chance of."

Li Chengyi clasped his fingers and said, now only he and Cheng Chuliang thought so, and the others all laughed. As long as they pass through Chang'an, it will take less than two months to complete the matter. This is our Datang. The heart of the empire.

Nowadays, there are so many women in Li Xiang's family, and more and more children are born one after another. Li Xiang has never met Li Xiang as a father. You only give them two months of vacation. Even if the court is a troublemaker, then it will It's a bit too much, not to mention that the court still has many policies and policies. Now His Highness must make a decision. It is absolutely impossible in two months, and it will take half a year no matter what.

When the time between the two sides is added up, more than a year has passed, so Zhang Jiuli said that it is impossible to start a war within a year. Of course, our side may not necessarily remain calm. According to His Highness's order, we cannot take the initiative to attack. People from the Arab Empire, but if people from the Arab Empire come over, we can legitimately fight back.

"How is this possible? Our scouts have already arrived hundreds of miles away. Where are the Arab Empire soldiers? Two patrol teams were built last month, and those guys ran faster than rabbits when they saw us. It’s fast, our cavalry are all heavily armored, and they are covered in cloth, so they can’t run very fast.”

Cheng Chuliang received a report last month, saying that they had seen two patrols from the Arab Empire. At the time, they thought it was a bit incredible, but the people under his command really saw them. Unfortunately, they might have been beaten by us. He didn't dare to fight with our army at all. After discovering it, he fled to the southwest with all his strength.

Our soldiers also followed the orders above and tried their best to catch as many living tongues as possible, but the result was that they didn't survive because they ran too fast. Although our horses here are good, they are full of armor and equipped with various weapons. The equipment is too heavy.

On the other hand, the Arab army, except for its own scimitar, only had the clothes on its body and two days of dry food, so it ran very fast. (End of chapter)
