    Chapter 470: What kind of benevolence, justice and morality should be discussed when the two armies are fighting?

    Chapter 470 What kind of benevolence, righteousness and morality should be discussed when the two armies are fighting?

    Tian Kexin¡¯s words shocked Zhang Xuan.

    Yes, if the cannibal army divides into two groups, uses the main army as a sign to flaunt a shot, and then raises its troops to bypass Tocharo and invade the small and large Bolu, it can indeed cause a serious trouble.  Although this move did not directly outflank the retreat of China's Western Expeditionary Army, it could also achieve its goal by invading the Big and Small Bolu and threatening the Tibetans.

    If this is the case, the Chinese army will not only be attacked from the front and back, but also face the huge hidden danger of "fire in the backyard".

    Zhang Xuan neglected this point. If Tian Kexin hadn't reminded him, his thinking would have fallen into a fixed pattern and he would not have included Tubo and Tibetan tribes in the list of those vulnerable to Dashi's attack.

    Zhang Xuan secretly broke into a cold sweat.

    He looked at Tian Kexin and sighed softly, "Kexin's words are so important."

    Tian Kexin smiled softly, "Your Majesty, this is actually just a guess by Kexin. Da Shiren may not do this. Of course, it wouldn't be surprising if Da Shi really attacked Da Bo Lu. Since our army can take the initiative to search for fire,  In the country, it is actually normal for the cannibals to target the big and small Bolu."

    "The top priority is that your Majesty should immediately inform Yang Lian and order Yang Lian to organize the army to prepare for war and strictly guard against the invading army and horses of the Dashi. As long as Yang Lian can keep the invading troops and horses of the Dashi away from the Big and Small Bolu, he will have made a great contribution to the imperial court.  ." Tian Kexin said gently again.

    Zhang Xuan nodded.

    But he raised his head and muttered, "Passive defense may not be the best policy. As long as there is a hidden danger of Tocharo, the cannibals can sneak attack on Anxi or Tubo through Tocharo at any time. I think it is better to let Feng Changqing and Yang Lian  Each sent 10,000 troops to march into Tochara, striving to destroy Tochara in the shortest possible time and cut off the retreat of the Great Eclipse."

    Tian Kexin's good-looking eyebrows raised, and after a moment's thought, he objected, "Your Majesty, Kexin thinks it is not appropriate to send troops to Tochara at this moment. For one thing, the situation in Anxi is not stable, and the Zhuhus are not stable, and Feng Changqing needs troops  We are stationed in Anxi and are not allowed to leave without permission; secondly, the situation of the Tubo and Tubo forces is roughly the same. If Yang Lian sends troops to attack Tocharo, Ke Xin is worried that the remnants of Tubo will be ready to attack. Thirdly, the main force of our army will fight against Dashi, which will consume a lot of supplies and food.  , if we start the war again, I am afraid that the national strength will be insufficient."

    "Tochara borders Anxi and Tubo. Although it has a population of hundreds of thousands, the country is poor and weak. As long as our army defeats Dashi, Tochara will accept its territory and surrender, and the hidden danger will be eliminated. On the other hand, even if  Your Majesty sent troops to destroy Tochara. Once our army is defeated by Dashi, Tochara will rebel again."

    "Your Majesty, please think twice!"

    Tian Kexin bowed down solemnly.

    Zhang Xuan has always been decisive in doing things, very independent and courageous.  Although he had good generals and advisers like Guo Ziyi by his side, because the emperor almost never made mistakes and could be said to be victorious in every battle, everyone gradually developed an almost blind worship and obeyed blindly. Very few people showed up in front of the emperor.  To sing the opposite tune.

    Tian Kexin should be one of the few people who often have different opinions from Zhang Xuan.  Of course, this also means that Tian Kexin has unique insights and has his own distinctive judgment.

    Zhang Xuan was startled and began to ponder.

    He felt that what Tian Kexin said was very reasonable. Although he did not think that taking Tochara would cause a big mess, but it was best to subjugate the enemy without fighting. Since you can send troops or not, it is better not to send troops.

    When he thought of this, he laughed loudly, "What Ke Xin said is very true, but I didn't think it through well. According to your words, let's put the Tocharian matter aside for the time being, and let's concentrate on fighting against Dashi and strive to win a battle.  Ding Ding solves all problems.¡±

    The emperor's imperial edict was sent to Anxi and Tubo.

    In fact, even if Zhang Xuan had not issued an edict, Yang Lian of the Tubo and Tubo factions had already made all preparations to deal with the sneak attack of Da Shi soldiers and horses.  Yang Lian was not idle in Tubo. He was always paying attention to the war situation ahead. At the same time, he understood the emperor's strategic intentions. After the battle with the cannibals, the last target of the Western Expedition was Tocharo.  Therefore, he led an army of 20,000 to guard the Great and Small Bolu. As long as the emperor gave the order, he would lead his army into Tocharo and make immortal military exploits.

    Big and small Bolu have been integrated with Tubo Road, becoming one state and two counties of Pingkang Road.

    Yang Lian was stationing troops in Dabolutun to prepare for war. Suddenly, he received a report from a scouting horse. There were a large number of soldiers and horses entering Tocharo, and there seemed to be signs of invading Anxi.  But Yang Lian was sensitively aware that the real target of the cannibalism was probably not Feng Changqing of Anxi but the Big and Small Bolu where Yang Lian was sitting and even the Tubo people behind the Big and Small Bolu.

    ? ?The emperor placed him on both sides of Tubo, with a heavy responsibility.  If the cannibal were allowed to invade Tubo, he would be a sinner of the imperial court.  Yang Lian did not dare to neglect, and immediately mobilized troops and horses, built garrison forts outside Big and Small Bolu, and stood ready.

    Feng Changqing of Anxi also received the news. Feng Changqing's troops currently stationed in Anxi were somewhat stretched, but considering the threat of Dashi's invasion, he ordered his general Gu Lan to lead 8,000 troops south to Khotan to guard against a sneak attack by Dashi's troops.

    At the same time, the emperor of China's Western Expedition camp, who was eager to report fire to the country, went to his camp.

    ¡­¡­

    On October 13th, the belated main force of Dashi arrived at the outer front line of Huo Xun Kingdom, less than a hundred miles away from the main battlefield arranged by Zhang Xuan.  Nearly 200,000 cavalry troops marched with a mighty momentum that shook the heavens and the earth. Smoke and dust filled the sky, and half of the sky was dyed yellow.

    The soldiers of Dashi are all fanatical religious militants. No matter the high-ranking generals or the lower-level soldiers, they actually do not take the Chinese dynasty's army seriously.  In the eyes of the Great Eaters, the empire of the East is almost synonymous with barbarism and backwardness, although silk and porcelain tea from the East have become popular resources among the upper class of the Eaters.

    The supreme commander of Dashi's army is nominally the great nobleman and general Meng Bai, but in fact it is the Prime Minister of Dashi, Ebele, who is personally in charge.  The Prime Minister, also called the Vizier, is the second most powerful nobleman and powerful figure under the Caliphate.  Abel has always regarded the East as his private territory. This time the Eastern Empire dared to invade his territory. Of course, he was furious and personally led his army to go to war. He wanted to give the Eastern people a hard look.

    This time, Ebel made up his mind.  Not only must they regain the land of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu, but they must also further occupy Anxi and Beiting, and then plot the colorful world of Dongtu.

    The Caliph has promised that if Abel can conquer this large territory, he will be canonized as the King of the East and the huge Eastern Empire will be included in his personal territory.

    Ebule came with great momentum, but Ebule was not a brainless person.  Unlike the Caliphate, he had an in-depth understanding of the Eastern Empire. He knew that this Eastern Empire was not comparable to small countries such as Persia or Tocharia. It had a profound foundation and required heavy troops.

    Therefore, this time Ebule mobilized 200,000 elite soldiers and horses, and also divided 20,000 troops to circle around Tocharo, preparing to seize the opportunity to seize the big and small Bolu, plotting against Tibet and stabbing the Chinese dynasty in the back.

    For Dashi, the 200,000 elite army was almost overwhelming.  Therefore, this war attracted the attention of the whole country. Almost all nobles and civilians turned their attention to the east, this mysterious and ancient country.

    Following the Dashi army, there were nearly ten thousand Dashi merchants and their entourage, and even more than a thousand Dashi upper-class nobles formed a viewing group.

    Ebele was very cunning and cautious. Under his control, the army of the Great Eclipsers marched slowly and steadily, fearing to fall into an ambush and trap by the Chinese dynasty.

    In this way, a pocket array arranged by Zhang Xuan in advance may come to nothing.

    On the Khiva city tower, Zhang Xuan summoned the generals to hold an emergency temporary military meeting.

    Guo Ziyi and others expressed their own opinions on how to attract the main force of Dashi into the ambush circle.  Zhang Xuan listened quietly. Although what everyone said made sense, none of them hit the mark.

    Seeing the emperor frowning and saying nothing, Chen Tong, who was standing behind him, hesitated for a long time before saying in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion, I don't know whether I should make it or not."

    At present, Chen Tong remains with the emperor as a general officer serving as a military counselor and logistics agent, and does not have a formal official position.

    Zhang Xuan glanced at Chen Tong and said calmly, "Please tell me."

    "Your Majesty, after I heard about the Dashi army, there were nearly ten thousand caravans and thousands of Dashi nobles watching the battle. In my opinion, it would be better if General Nan Jiyun led the Shence Army to bypass the Dashi army.  The people in the food territory rush from behind, fight quickly, and kill the food people by surprise" Before Chen Tong could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lei Wanchun with disdain, "Nonsense! Avoid the food army,  Going to attack an unarmed caravan, you can even say this kind of harm, it simply loses the dignity of my Chinese superior state!"

    Chen Tong blushed, clasped his fists towards Lei Wanchun and said, "General Lei, the so-called great things are done regardless of trivial matters. When the two armies are fighting, casualties are inevitable. Besides, what Xiao Ke said was not massacre but harassment. If we can rob  It would be even more wonderful to plunder and eat the nobles."

    Lei Wanchun curled his lips, very disapproving.

    In terms of Lei Wanchun¡¯s values, he advocates more real force, and prefers to fight in battle formations with big food, big sabers, swords, guns, spears, soldiers, and generals. He disdains the so-called conspiracy and tricks.  What's more, Chen Tong proposed attacking Dashi's caravan andThe aristocratic spectator group seemed to Lei Wanchun almost a bit underhanded.

    Chen Tong opened his mouth. Seeing that his idea seemed not to be supported by everyone present, he couldn't help but hang his head in disappointment and said nothing more.

    What he means is that by attacking the food nobles watching the battle, even if they really kill a few food nobles, as long as they can put pressure on the commander of the food army and gain a strategic advantage, it is feasible.  On the eve of the battle between the two armies, it is really nonsense to pay attention to gentlemanly demeanor and morality.

    But he knew that he was now "on the receiving end of crime" and did not have the confidence or qualifications to argue with the generals in power such as Lei Wanchun, so he gave up his intention to make suggestions.
