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

Chapter 545 Friction in Shihan Country

After the Tang army completely withdrew from the border of Shihana, a soldier from Shihana asked, "General, are we just going to let them go like this?"

"Otherwise, do you still want to go to war with them?"

"Without the Emperor's order, I dare not."

"Besides, their military strength is twice as much as ours. Wouldn't it be courting death to start a war?"

"Go, go back."

"Report this incident of the Tang Kingdom crossing the border."

The general of Shihana Kingdom said.

Even though he felt somewhat unwilling, he had no choice. He also realized that as long as they took action, the Tang army would not care at all.

It’s less than five kilometers away from the border.

"This place is very suitable for building a city." Li Ke looked at the area and suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty."

"You are preparing to guard against the Shi Khan country." Lin Chong immediately understood what he meant.

"It's not just for precaution, but also for the purpose of launching military operations against the Shihan Kingdom in the future."

"These foreign women should all be good-looking. When the time comes and we really mobilize the army, I will capture some of them and present them to the emperor." Li Ke laughed loudly.

Today, what remains in the northern border have basically been wiped out.

Perhaps there are still some small tribes in this northern border area, migrating every day, and even the Tang army finds it difficult to find them, but they are like dogs that have lost their homes and can't make any waves at all.

Now the Tang Dynasty is treating them as bandits and is besieging them. Once they are found, they will launch a surprise attack.

Those who surrender will be spared death.

Those who are disobedient will be killed immediately.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Lin Chong said immediately.

"Once we return to the border town, we will immediately report the battle report of the northern border to Chang'an."

"And the matter with the country of Shihan."

Li Ke said again.

"I understand." Lin Chong nodded.

Li Ke turned his head and looked in the direction of Shihan country, with a sneer on his face: "Now that the northern border has been settled, if Li Zheng still wants to mobilize troops, the next one will be Shihan country."

He knew Li Zheng very well.

His ambition was not concealed. After Li Zheng ascended the throne, expansion became his purpose and goal, and Li Ke also enjoyed it very much.

"Old Four, Old Four."

"Your greatest wish was to become the General of the North of the Tang Dynasty and fight against the Turks for the Tang Dynasty."

“But now, this kind of thing has been done by me.”

"And the root of all this is Li Zheng's full support, and Li Zheng led the troops to defeat the Turks. Otherwise, how could Lao Ba and I harvest foreign races like we are now."

"After all, you did it wrong."

"One wrong step, all wrong."

"Thinking about things that don't belong to you."

Looking at this vast land, Li Ke felt a little emotional.

Remember when I was a kid.

The people he admired most were his eldest brother, the Crown Prince, and his fourth brother Li Tai. At that time, Li Ke also yearned for this kind of military life.

but now.

Everything is different now.

Li Tai, who once longed for a military career, was imprisoned in the royal ancestral temple.

However, he, the third son, became the General Zhenbei of the Tang Dynasty.

The country of Shihana.

This is the name given to this country by the Tang Dynasty. It is a country located to the northwest of the Tang Dynasty.

The capital of the Shihanna Kingdom.

The building is completely western in style, different from the oriental one. In this country, all the people are Shihanna people wearing exotic clothes, and there is no oriental face.

The Tang Dynasty did not have much interaction with this country because in the past, the territories of the two countries did not border each other and were blocked by the Turks.

There wasn't even a trade route between the two countries.

In this capital of the Shihanna Kingdom.

Inside a magnificent palace.

"Your Majesty the Emperor."

"We have already accepted hundreds of thousands of people from the original Turkic people, and there are tens of thousands of troops. The next step is to use these people to seize those lands?"

A general of the Shikhanna Kingdom stood up and looked at the emperor sitting on the throne.

The emperor of Shihan's country was not too old, probably around 30 or 40 years old. He must have been the emperor for many years, and he had an aura of majesty that made him look powerful without even getting angry.

"Have you investigated the situation in Tang State?"

The Emperor of Shihana asked slowly.

Before bordering the Tang Dynasty, there were the Turkic tribes as a barrier, so there was no conflict of interest between the Shihanna Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty, and there was no border border between them.

But now it's different.

As the Tang Dynasty continued to deploy troops in the northern border and as its territory expanded wildly and annexed the northern border lands frantically, it soon bordered the Shihanna Kingdom. So the emperor of the Shihanna Kingdom issued an order to investigate the situation of the Tang Dynasty, not only the military strength, but also the national strength of the Tang Dynasty.

just.

They wanted to investigate, but it wasn't that simple.

"Return to His Majesty the Emperor."

"The basic situation of the Tang Kingdom has been investigated."

"This country was founded less than 30 years ago. The founding emperor was Emperor Gaozu of Tang, Li Yuan. The second emperor was Li Shimin, who was said to be a very powerful emperor. He conquered most of the Tang Dynasty. The current emperor is Li Zheng, who loves war very much and is very young." An official from the Shihan country stepped forward and introduced.

"It seems that the Tang Kingdom dared to come to the border of my Shihan Kingdom to cause trouble. If I don't deal with them, they will think that my Khanate is easy to mess with."

"Your Majesty, I think we can send troops to attack at any time, destroy the Tang Kingdom, and make all the Tang people slaves of my Khanate."

"good."

"I want a few yellow-skinned slaves, too."

All the officials of the Shihan Kingdom laughed at the mocking tone of the cardboard box.

In the country of Shihanna, and even in the country to the west of Anxie, their power is hereditary from the nobility. All the people standing in this hall are nobles, and no ordinary person can stand in this hall.

The Tang soldiers crossed the border and killed the Turks, which made them angry and they wanted revenge.

As nobles, these ministers were all very arrogant.

"go on."

"How many troops does the Tang Kingdom have? I heard that they have firearms and they are very powerful. Is that true?" The emperor of Shihan asked more steadily.

"Return to His Majesty the Emperor."

"The population of Tang should be no less than 50 million, and the army is definitely over one million. Just in the original tribal lands, the Tang army has at least 200,000 soldiers."

"It is said that they have something called firearms, which are very powerful."

"It's even more powerful than the most powerful weapon of my Shihanna country." An official from the Shihanna country who was in charge of investigating the Tang Dynasty said.

Hear the words.

The Emperor of Shihana's expression changed: "How come there are so many people? And they have firearms more powerful than those of my Shihana?"

"No way, this is absolutely impossible."

Obviously.

Originally, the emperor of Shihan was very confident in his strength.

"Your Majesty the Emperor."

"This firearm was made in the Tang Dynasty. It is said to be extremely powerful in attacking cities."

"And their population is only more than our Khanate, never less." A Khanate official added.

at this time.

A general of the Shihanna Kingdom wearing armor walked quickly into the hall.
