Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 296 Destruction of the country with ease
Tuyuhun is not a powerful country.

Although it covers a large area, there are not many elite soldiers in the country.

It's just that Datang didn't have a lot of troops in the northwest in recent years, so Tuyuhun felt that Datang seemed to be nothing more than that, trying to take advantage over and over again.

Unexpectedly, Datang had such a strange existence as Qianfengying, and without the imperial edict, it broke into Tuyuhun directly.

You must know that in order to prevent the Tang Dynasty from sending troops to deal with them, the Tuyuhun people had a large number of spies no matter whether they were in Chang'an City, Liangzhou, or other prefectures and counties in Longyou Road.

These spies did not report any news to Tuyuhun that the Tang Dynasty was about to attack him. As a result, [-] elite Tang soldiers broke in, and immediately stunned the Tuyuhun people.

Many tribes in Tuyuhun actually made a lot of money by relying on the purchase of wool yarn from Liangzhou.

But when it comes to the battlefield, the money can't help them much.

It just made Wang Changtu and other merchants who followed Qianfengying earn a lot more money.

"Brother Qin, aren't these Tuyuhun people really hard to beat? In less than half a month, we have captured Fucheng City.

Almost none of the Tuyuhun royal family ran away. "

Fang Yiai felt that this battle was not a happy one.

Tuyuhun itself is not a country with strong military strength.

If he knew in advance that Datang was coming to attack him, he could gather an army of 10,000+.

But now without any preparation, there are almost only tens of thousands of regular troops near Fucheng City, and the others are scattered in various tribes as herdsmen.

In this way, where is the opponent of professional soldiers like Qianfeng Battalion?
Qin Xiedao simply wiped out one Tuyuhun tribe after another all the way, until the army reached the outside of Fuqi City, and Tuyuhun didn't know the news.

But at this time, it was too late to say anything.

The Qianfeng Battalion only dispatched a hot air balloon once, and then wiped out the [-] elites of Tuyuhun outside Fucheng City, and these people surrendered directly.

As a result, Qin Xiedao originally wanted to directly destroy the royal family of Tuyuhun, but now it is not easy to do so.

"We have taken Fucheng City, but aren't there still many tribes around? Don't worry, there is still half a year before winter, and we have enough time to deal with them."

Qin Xiedao picked up a roast leg of lamb and tasted it happily.

Since a large number of Nanyang spices entered the Tang Dynasty, they immediately entered thousands of households.

Whether it is lamb or beef, it is very suitable for spices.

Although the Qianfeng Battalion marched on the grassland, they would arrange troops to transport supplies to the nearby state cities every now and then, so their living standards were not very bad.

"Brother Qin, I actually think that after Tuyuhun is wiped out, we can actually go to the Western Regions, or go directly to Goguryeo, and destroy Goguryeo, which Yang Guang failed to win three times."

Fang Yiai obviously realized that he would soon return to Chang'an City, and was obviously a bit reluctant.

How comfortable is it for me to fight with Qin Xiedao outside?
I can do whatever I want, and no one forces me to read the Four Books and Five Classics.

On the contrary, it is the sword and gun that I have liked since I was a child, and I can play it at will.

Not to mention, Fang Yiai's strength is the greatest in the entire forward battalion.

His weapon is a big iron rod, which is simply a typical example of defeating ten with one force.

When confronted with a frontal battle, Fang Yiai, who was all in armor, swept away with an iron rod and several heads fell to the ground. It was like a humanoid tank, which really made a lot of contributions.

It can be said that Fang Yiai's combat power is second only to Qin Xiedao in the Qianfeng camp.

"The geographical environment in the Western Regions is relatively harsh, and it will be very difficult for us to get supplies after we go there.

Once there is no supplies, our casualties will definitely become very large, and there is no need to go there for the time being.

As for Goguryeo, we can't take it down with our [-] soldiers and horses alone, and there is no need to fight hard on land.

At that time, our Tang Dynasty can start from Dengzhou and let the navy directly attack the capital of the Goguryeo people.

In such a war, the damage will be much smaller. "

Qin Xiedao does not fight Goguryeo now, but it does not mean that he does not want to destroy this country.

Datang is now vigorously developing overseas trade, and shipbuilding workshops have sprung up everywhere.

At the same time, the scale of the Datang Navy is also growing rapidly.

With the tax revenue support from the customs, the Datang Navy is definitely the most powerful existence in the entire world today.

When the time is right, if you attack directly from the water, you will be able to catch Goguryeo by surprise and directly wipe out their roots.

"General, you have promised His Majesty that you will definitely return to court before this autumn, and you must not violate the imperial decree again."

Chu Suiliang at the side was speechless after hearing what Fang Yiai said, so he quickly reminded Qin Xiedao.

"Don't worry, this time our army is divided into three groups. The north, south, and west will be dispatched together. Two months later, we will gather again in Fucheng City, and then we will formally return to the court."

From the autumn of the third year of Zhenguan to the summer of the fifth year of Zhenguan, Qin Xiedao has been tossing outside for almost two years.

I also feel that it is time to return to Chang'an City.

Especially a few days ago he received news from Chang'an City that Hou Bao had successfully built the steam engine.

This made Qin Xiedao immediately have the idea of ​​returning to Chang'an City as soon as possible.

This steam engine is definitely a good thing.

With it, Datang's industrial revolution has sprouted.

Railways can also be considered.

In the past two years, I have been tossing and tossing on the grassland, and I am not completely dealing with the various tribes of the Turks.

During this process, the discovery of several large iron mines and large coal mines is also a very important purpose.

Now the Qin family has arranged for craftsmen to start building a steel workshop on the Turkic territory, and also started to build a cement road from these workshops to Mayi.

Once these workshops are fully put into operation, Datang's steel output will reach a record high.

To put it bluntly, Datang's current steel output is estimated to have accounted for more than [-]% of the entire world.

In a few years, this ratio can even be raised to ninety-nine percent.

Of course, compared with the output of later generations, it is not enough at all.

"No problem, I will definitely be back in two months."

Hearing that she had the opportunity to lead the army alone, Fang Yiai immediately beamed.

This is a war madman.

Originally, Qin Xiedao was worried about letting Fang Yiai lead the army by himself.

However, Tuyuhun was still too big. In order to end the war as soon as possible, the army was divided into three directions and started at the same time, which was actually the most trouble-free.

Fortunately, there is no problem with Fang Yi'ai who is obsessed with losing his mind, and Qin Xiedao thinks that there should be no problem.
