Yipin Tang

Chapter 369 Lingnan Preparations
Wang Xiang didn't know anything about Chang'an. He was busy building his own paradise in Xunzhou.

On this day, just after taking Li Zhi and Xiao Luoli out of the sea to play, he learned that Zhang Cheng was waiting for him at the Hou Mansion for something urgent.

After returning home and changing into dry clothes, Wang Xiang came to the living room, only to see Zhang Cheng walking back and forth in the living room with his brows furrowed and his head lowered. He didn't even notice Wang Xiang coming in.

"Master Zhang, what's the matter, but there is news from Chang'an?" It has been more than half a month since I sent someone to Chang'an to deliver the letter, and Li Er should have replied.

Seeing Wang Xiang's leisurely look, Zhang Cheng said anxiously: "It's a mess! It's a mess!"

Sitting on the sofa, Wang Xiang poured himself a glass of juice and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Cheng walked to Wang Xiang's side and lowered his voice, "Chang'an sent back news that the Turks invaded the Tang Dynasty, Gaochang and Yanqi have been lost!"

"What?" Wang Xiang put down the cup that was brought to his mouth just now, and frowned, "The Turkic army invaded the Tang Dynasty?"

No wonder he was so surprised. When he left Chang'an, the Great Dynasty had just ended. At that time, it was impossible for a foreign country to use troops against the Tang Dynasty because of the power of Tianleizi. What happened in the past few months?

Zhang Cheng nodded and said, "It's absolutely true. I also just received a letter from Chang'an, and there is another letter from His Majesty to Lord Hou."

"The Turks just sent Princess Danqi'er to make peace with the Tang Dynasty, so why did they suddenly attack the Tang Dynasty?" Wang Xiang still couldn't believe it, and asked anxiously, "Where is your majesty's letter?"

Zhang Cheng took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Wang Xiang respectfully. Wang Xiang was in a mess after taking the letter and quickly opened it.

"Turkic wolves are ambitious, and invaded our Tang Dynasty. I am very pleased to hear that the matter in the salt field is going well, but the war is urgent and there is no time to worry about it. Tibet in the southwest is also ready to move. I have ordered Zhang Cheng, the governor of Lingnan, to lead the army to prepare for the invasion of Tubo. In the land of Lingnan in the Tang Dynasty, Zixin should be cautious in Xunzhou. Knowing that Jie has led an army of [-] to Lingnan, don’t panic and protect the king of Jin..."

After reading the letter, Wang Xiang was stunned. After a long time, he said slowly, "There is going to be a war in Lingnan?"

Zhang Cheng nodded and said, "Tubo has [-] Chen soldiers on the southwestern border of Lingnan. I'm afraid there will be a war!"

"What's going on? The Turks and Tubo have just made peace with the Tang Dynasty. Why did they suddenly raise troops against the Tang Dynasty?"

Zhang Cheng said in a deep voice: "Turks and Tubo have always coveted the land of the Central Plains, but they only compromised because of the great power of the Tang Dynasty. A few days ago, Turks and Tubo were outnumbered, so they naturally felt uneasy about the status quo."

"Strange person?" Wang Xiang asked suspiciously, "What kind of strange person?" Li Er didn't mention these things in his letter.

After hearing Zhang Cheng's explanation, Wang Xiang's face became even more astonished: "You mean that Turkic and Tubo people appeared with infinite strength and invulnerability?"

Zhang Cheng nodded and said: "Not only that, Tulu, the leader of the Turkic army, has also received the true biography of the gods. He can summon the power of thunder, and he is invincible and unstoppable!"

Wang Xiang felt a little dizzy, why did he sound like an ability user in the last days...

Turks are far away from Xunzhou in the north of the Tang Dynasty. What he is most concerned about now is the issue of Tubo. One hundred thousand soldiers in Tubo is not a small number, but he himself is not afraid. The end of the world is fine, but Wushun and Xiao Luoli have nowhere to hide.

"How many soldiers and horses are there in Lingnan?"

Zhang Cheng's face was a little serious: "Ten thousand cavalry, twenty thousand infantry."

"That means there are only [-] soldiers and horses?"

Zhang Cheng nodded: "I have dispatched all the soldiers and horses in the south of the Five Ridges to the border pass, but the Tubo army is strong and there are many powerful strange people..."

Not to mention the latter, Wang Xiang also knows that [-] is against [-], and the other party has a capable person, so he will definitely not be able to stand it.

"How long will it take for General Cheng's reinforcements to arrive from Chang'an?"

"Ten days at the fastest." Zhang Cheng worried: "I'm afraid Tubo won't let us wait until the reinforcements arrive."

Even if you don't tell me, I know that far away water can't quench my near thirst, so Wang Xiang said, "You go back first, I'll think of a way."

"Then the officer will leave first."

Although Zhang Cheng has seen many miraculous places of Wang Xiang, he does not think that Wang Xiang will have any solution for this kind of war involving tens of thousands of people. The reason why he came to find Wang Xiang is because Li Er's will has an explanation, and now the matter has been told to him naturally. Go back and set up defenses.

Seeing Zhang Cheng leaving Wushun with a solemn face and walking into the living room, and seeing Wang Xiang also full of worry, he asked, "Husband, what happened?"

"The Turks have raised their troops."

"Ah!" Wu Shun whispered.

"Gaochang and Yanqi have fallen into the hands of the Turks."

Wu Shun covered his mouth and said, "Sister Ju Yiya's..."

Wang Xiang knew what she was worried about. According to the news from Chang'an, Gaochang fell into the hands of the Turks, and the whereabouts of King Gaochang was unknown.

"Don't tell her about this beforehand."

Wu Shun nodded, and Wang Xiang continued: "Go and gather the people in the mansion, let everyone board the yacht, and take shelter on the yacht for a few days."

"Why is this?" Wu Shun asked suspiciously, Turkic is very far away from Xunzhou, even if there is a war, it will not affect this place.

Wang Xiang said seriously: "I'm afraid Lingnan will be in chaos."

Wu Shun was originally intelligent, and when he heard Wang Xiang's words, his heart moved, and he asked, "But Tubo?"

"En." Wang Xiang nodded and said no more. Wu Shun knew the seriousness of the matter, and immediately went to gather everyone in the Hou's mansion and let them board the yacht.

Xiao Luoli and Li Zhi just fell in love with life in Xinhou Mansion, and they were very surprised to hear that they were going to move to the yacht again. Wang Xiang didn't tell them that the Lingnan War was about to start.

The yacht is fully stocked with food and daily necessities, enough to last for ten and a half months. Once the war really spreads to Xunzhou, he will drive the yacht overseas to ensure everyone's safety, but he does not plan to hide on the yacht for ten days For half a month, he didn't want Xunzhou, which had been built with great difficulty, to be destroyed. Moreover, it was the people of Tang Dynasty who suffered along with the war.

After setting up little loli and others, Wang Xiang returned to Jiayuan base with a thought.

He didn't tell Wang Xingbang and Li Rujuan about the changes in Datang, for fear that they would be worried.

The caravan going to the Sanqi base has returned smoothly and successfully established a good relationship with the Sanqi base.Wang Xiang first asked Lei Fu and Guan Weishan to get back Iron Dan's giant ax and Niu Da's giant hammer. Iron Dan and Niu Da are definitely strange people, and Zhang Sanfeng, with the three of them, even if they meet the so-called strange people in Tubo World War I.

It's just that the gap between the [-] soldiers and the [-] Tubo army is not easy to make up. He thought of Lei Jun. Lei Jun has always been in charge of the firearms of the base, and this time the caravan went to Sanqi Base and it seems that they also bought a batch of good firearms. Looks like there are heavy weapons with high firepower.
