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

Chapter 572: Tang Army Approaches the Capital
"I heard it."

"This matter."

"I will personally supervise it."

“Nothing will be missed.”

Qin Jiansheng immediately stood up and responded.

"Except."

"Pay close attention to the food and fodder for the troops going out on the expedition. This is also of utmost importance. We must not allow any omissions. We must also coordinate the population of other ethnic groups and the national strength in the future."

"The Ministry of Works is concerned about weapons. When the Ministry of War reports the casualties, the Ministry of Works will immediately deploy the weapons instead of sending them to the battlefield."

"After this battle, the territory of our Great Tang will also expand greatly. The Ministry of Personnel should be prepared to deploy officials to govern the territory of Shihana."

"Among these matters, the Ministry of Revenue is the most complicated."

"In short, my dear ministers, please do your best."

"After this battle, the national strength of our Tang Dynasty will reach its peak."

Li Shimin said to all the civil and military officials in the court.

"Your subjects shall follow the Emperor's wishes."

All the civil and military officials in the court replied in unison.

"All right."

"Let's disperse."

"Now that the main forces of Shihan's country have been annihilated, the next offensive war will not be that difficult."

"The six ministries should pay close attention to this." Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

A wave of hands.

He stood up slowly and found a good back hall to walk to.

"Your subjects respectfully send off the Emperor."

The ministers bowed and watched Li Shimin leave.

After the meeting dispersed.

The officials did not stay for too long. All the officials from the six ministries returned to their respective residences and began to handle government affairs.

For them.

What's going to happen next is going to be even more complicated.

The Ministry of Revenue, in particular, had the heaviest task.

Next are the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Personnel.

Now they won't have a chance to rest.

The victory of this battle had a huge impact.

The palace, backyard.

Li Shimin came to the bedroom where outsiders were not allowed to enter alone, and the spirit tablet of Lin was right at the entrance.

"lady."

"Wait a little longer."

"Li Zheng told me that if one day, Li Zheng can really unify the world, he will have the opportunity to revive you."

"For this, I will wait and live."

"And Li Zheng told me this time."

"This time."

"As long as we destroy the Shihan Kingdom, we will have a chance to obtain the third Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom, and then we can wake up the prince."

"By the time."

"We will definitely be reunited as a family."

Li Shimin looked at the spirit tablet and said gently.

Done.

Li Shimin glanced at Crown Prince Li Chengqian who was sleeping peacefully on the bed.

Naturally, he was looking forward to Li Zheng destroying the Shihan Kingdom and awakening his son.

now.

There is no rush for this matter.

He could only wait for his son to conquer the Shi Khanate, but this process was still a long way off.

Although the army of Shihanna had been defeated, their territory was vast and their population was very large. It would take at least one or two years to completely conquer them.

This is the fastest result.

More than two months have passed.

The Tang Dynasty divided its troops into more than a dozen routes, and marched rapidly along the way, frantically encroaching on and annexing the territory of the Shihan Kingdom...

now.

Several fast armies have already arrived at the capital of the Shihanna Kingdom.

However, they did not rush to attack. Instead, they camped not far from the capital of the Shihanna Kingdom, waiting for the army to completely complete the encirclement and then pacify the Shihanna Kingdom in one fell swoop.

On the city wall of the capital of Shihana Kingdom.

Countless soldiers of the Shihan Kingdom looked at the Tang army that was hovering in front of the city from time to time in horror, and they were all very worried that the Tang would suddenly attack.

And in the royal palace of Shihana Kingdom.

"Your Majesty the Emperor."

"The Tang army is gathering in greater numbers."

"There are now at least close to 100,000 people gathered outside the capital."

Dagoli reported in great horror.

Hear the words.

Not only the Emperor of Shihanna sitting on the throne, but also the ministers of Shihanna in the hall, all looked unhappy.

"Why so fast?"

"It's only been two months. Is the Empire's army so vulnerable?"

"Hasn't the Empire's troops stationed on the western border been mobilized? Why haven't they stopped them?"

Didn't they recruit hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the civilian population? Aren't they useless?"

The Emperor of Shihana asked in great panic.

After the defeat at the border that day.

The emperor of the Shihanna Kingdom issued an order to recruit soldiers across the country and mobilized the troops stationed in the west.

I think these are enough to resist the Tang army.

But in just over two months, the Tang army captured their capital.

"His Majesty."

"According to your order, 150,000 troops were transferred back from the western border. All of them were transferred back. 50,000 of them were used to command the conscripted soldiers, and 100,000 were left in the capital for defense."

"You also know that those new soldiers have no fighting power at all, and during this period of time, many of them don't even have weapons or armor. There are only a few hundred thousand of them deployed to defend against the Tang army."

“It’s impossible to stop it.”

Moreover, the Tang army had more than one army. Their forces were scattered, and almost all of them were cavalry, with powerful artillery. The empire's territory was all plains, and they could not be stopped at all. Moreover, they mobilized troops from all over. If they were blocked here, they would attack from the rear.

"The 50,000 troops transferred back from the border were almost wiped out, and the newly recruited soldiers were almost also destroyed or surrendered." Da Geli said bitterly.

It is simply impossible to stop the Tang Dynasty with just the recruits.

and.

Since Li Zheng had already invaded the country, he had already made all preparations.

The purpose of dispersing the army was to make Shihan's country undefendable and difficult to defend.

In this indefensible place, the elite troops of the Shihan Kingdom were completely wiped out. How could they resist?

"Five days ago, there were only tens of thousands of troops. Now the Tang army is gathering more and more. They must be planning to attack the capital of the empire when all their forces are gathered."

"What should we do? Do we want to evacuate to the west?" The emperor of Shihana country was a little scared and asked the ministers in the hall.

Now that the enemy is at the gates and there is no chance of victory against the Tang Dynasty, the only way to save our lives is to flee.

"His Majesty."

"I think we can send someone to negotiate with the Tang Kingdom."

Dagoli said through gritted teeth.

"negotiation?"

The emperor of Shihanna was stunned, obviously not expecting Dagoli to say such a thing.

This time they were the ones who launched the offensive first. Now they have been defeated and counterattacked by the Tang State. Is there still room for negotiation?
If she made the decision, if it were the other way around, he would never agree to negotiate, but would strike while the iron is hot and continue to advance.

"Will they agree?" asked the Emperor of the Shi Khanate.

"His Majesty."

"Our empire has a vast territory, definitely the largest in the world. Although the Tang army is powerful, is he not sure that he can control the empire in a short period of time?"

"If they are really pushed to the limit, even if they capture our capital, would that be a good thing for them?"
