I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 312: Expedition to Zhenla Kingdom

natural.

This was Li Zheng's tactic to delay the attack.

Li Zheng would definitely not send troops before the fighter plane arrived. It was useless no matter how much Du Qiong cried.

"Prince Li."

"You should know that His Majesty the Emperor really said it."

Du Qiong turned his attention to Li Daozong for help.

Compared to Li Zheng, Li Daozong is even more of an old fool, and he will never admit it.

"Princess Du Qiong, General Li is right."

"Only when we see the emperor's decree with our own eyes will our southern border guards send troops."

"Otherwise, nothing can be done." Li Daozong also said with a troubled face.

"General Li...please, as long as you agree to send troops, I...I am willing to work for you as a cow, a horse, a slave, a maid, and I will do anything you ask me to do."

"Please General Li."

Du Qiong knelt on the ground, pleading with tears. She had no choice but to do anything.

"Prince Li."

"It's better to send someone to Yingtian and ask the emperor if he really wants to send troops." Li Zheng said.

"Okay, I will immediately send someone to Chang'an to inquire." Li Daozong immediately cooperated.

"Princess Duqiong."

"As a minister of the Tang Dynasty, we must act according to the decree. If what you say is true and we get the emperor's decree, we will send troops. There is nothing we can do about it." Li Zheng stepped forward and helped Du Qiong up.

"It takes at least a month to go back and forth. I... Nanzhao Kingdom really can't hold on anymore." Du Qiong cried.

"Sorry." Li Zheng shook his head in embarrassment.

"Is there no other way?" Du Qiong still refused to give up.

"This is the rule for generals to mobilize troops when they see the order."

"I can't risk my whole family's lives just for your words." Li Zheng said coldly.

Hearing this, Du Qiong lowered his head, covered his face and cried.

……

Time is passing gradually.

in a blink.

More than twenty days have passed.

Early in the morning.

There was a noise outside Li Zheng's tent.

"I wonder if you, a woman, are annoying? Why are you pestering Li Zheng every day?"

"They all say they are waiting for the will, waiting for the will."

"As long as there is a will, Li Zheng will naturally send troops."

Li Yuan's somewhat angry voice came from outside the camp.

"Miss Li, you don't understand."

"I shoulder the expectations of millions of Nanzhao people, and I have no choice." Du Qiong said with a sad voice.

"I really don't know what to say about you."

Seeing Du Qiong looking so pitiful, Li Yuan couldn't be cruel even if she wanted to.

"You'd better wait a little longer."

"Li Zheng will naturally tell you if there is news." Li Yuan said helplessly.

At this time.

Li Zheng opened the door and walked out.

As soon as he saw it, he saw Li Yuan talking and Du Qiong lowered his head pitifully.

"General Lee."

Du Qiong lowered his head and looked at Li Zheng expectantly.

Li Zheng said nothing.

But Zhao Ming and Wu Yuanlong, who were guarding outside the camp, walked over quickly.

"General, everything is ready."

"You can set off at any time."

"Prince Li is also ready." Zhao Ming said.

"Okay." "The army is setting off." Li Zheng said solemnly.

"General, can we send out troops?" Du Qiong's eyes were filled with tears of anticipation.

"I received an imperial edict from Chang'an late last night, and the emperor allowed us to send troops to attack Zhenla."

"I originally planned to tell you today." Li Zheng smiled slightly.

"Thank you, General Lee."

Du Qiong knelt down excitedly and cried with joy.

"A poor man."

Looking at Du Qiong's appearance, Li Zheng sighed silently in his heart.

For Li Zheng and the Tang Dynasty, if it was really to save Nanzhao, they could send troops at any time, but the Tang Dynasty would not send troops to rescue without reason. The Tang Dynasty was ambitious and wanted to expand its territory.

Du Qiong's so-called request is just wishful thinking.

If there were no benefits, how could Datang lose its own soldiers to save other countries.

This is not possible.

Everything is born out of profit.

This is also the pattern of the world, interests, and the interests of the country come first.

……

The border with Tang Dynasty.

A pass stands against the mountains.

After the princess of Nanzhao asked for help from the Tang Dynasty, the Zhenla Kingdom naturally did not take precautions early. A large army was left to guard the only way to Zhenla. If the Tang Dynasty really wanted to save the Nanzhao Kingdom, Chenla can also rely on this dangerous pass to defend itself.

As long as Nanzhao is destroyed, there is no need for Datang to send troops again. As long as Datang is given some benefits, Datang will definitely withdraw its troops.

Zhao Guangxin, the powerful minister of Zhenla, had already planned it.

And the current situation is proceeding exactly as he expected.

"Eldest son."

"As expected by the Grand Master, the Tang Dynasty really launched its troops."

"The spies have reported that the Tang army is no more than five miles away from our pass, and is still accelerating its march."

In the Zhenla border pass, a Zhenla general reported to a thirty-year-old princess.

This young master was none other than Zhao Lun, the eldest son of Zhao Guangxin, the powerful minister in Zhenla who controlled the government and military affairs of Zhenla.

As the eldest son of the powerful minister Zhao Guangxin, he guarded this border pass. This shows how worried Zhao Guangxin was about this border place and how he was afraid of the Tang Dynasty.

"The Tang army is actually here." Zhao Lun's expression changed, showing a sense of fear and uneasiness.

In today's Tang Dynasty, after the Turks were destroyed in the north, the country's power was at its peak and its prestige spread far and wide.

This is especially true for the neighboring countries.

The Turks, the former overlords of the grasslands, were so powerful that they were destroyed by the Tang Dynasty in one battle.

Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty has swept across the grassland peoples of all sizes in the northern border, and all the foreign races in the southern border are in awe.

This is especially true when all nations come to court.

"Fortunately, my father had anticipated this and left 80,000 troops to guard the pass."

"Relying on the danger of guarding and the hoarding of food, grass and baggage, no matter how large the Tang army is, it will be useless. Our army can hold on for at least two or three months without breaking through."

"correct."

"Have you ever found out how many people there are in the Tang army?"

"Is it Jiangxia King Li Daozong who is commanding the troops?"

"If he leads the troops, it will be a bit troublesome. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty's crossbows and trebuchets are powerful tools for attacking the city. We are afraid that we will suffer a lot of casualties." Zhao Lun asked worriedly.

"Please rest assured, Master."

"My subordinates have sent people to investigate."

"It seems that Li Daozong is not commanding the troops this time, and the banner of this Tang army is not the soldiers of the southern border, but another banner, which seems to be from Liangzhou." Zhenla's general said with a smile.

"Liangzhou? Where did this Tang army come from?"

Zhao Lun said a little puzzled.

"Son."

"This is a good thing for our army. As long as it is not Li Daozong, King of Jiangxia, there is nothing to worry about." The general said confidently.

"Get your troops in order and go up to the tower to defend."

"Since my father trusts me, I cannot let him down."

"This time, my father has devoted all his efforts to destroy the Nanzhao Kingdom. You should know what to do in the future. As long as I can guard this pass and stop the Tang army, the position will most likely be passed on to my son." Zhao Lundai Said with some deep meaning.
