Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    King Jie was also a great king. When he first took over the throne, he only had a few thousand troops.  He likes elephants, and he likes elephant soldiers even more.  Currently, he has 60,000 fine tax elephant soldiers under his command.  Two hundred thousand cavalry, and a larger number of infantry, not including those small states that are dependent on him.  The powerful military force allowed him to ignore all the countries in the world. The cannibals were defeated, the Persians were defeated, and the entire conquest of Tianzhu was only a step away, without the obstruction of mountains or the mud of rivers. All he conquered was  footsteps.  Those who believe this are not only King Harsha himself, but also his prey to the north, King Zhaqilou.  When welcoming the incomparably noble King Qin of the Tang Dynasty into his royal city, the noble King Zheqilou kept his head slightly lowered. After seeing the military strength of the Tang Dynasty, he knew that this was an army that was no weaker than King Harsha.  s country.  Entering the main hall, Li Yuanxing walked directly to the main seat without waiting for the host to greet him.  This is a very bad habit, a bad habit developed by the nobles of the Tang Dynasty.  In the Tang Dynasty, except for the Tang Emperor Li Er and the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, no one needed Li Yuanxing to give up his seat.  Li Yuanxing, who was thinking about Xuanzang, walked to the main seat unnaturally.  This action shocked the guards of Zheqilou Palace and their heartbeats almost stopped. If they did not move, they would be disloyal to King Zheli. If they did, they would provoke a war in the Tang Dynasty.  But what everyone never expected was that the King of Zheqilou sat casually on the second seat on the side.  Fortunately, Li Yuanxing reacted at this time and stood up again: "Sorry. I was distracted just now." After saying that, Li Yuanxing sat down opposite King Zheqilou.  The top main seat was vacated.  King Zheqilou said nothing. From the first moment he saw Li Yuanxing, King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty, he knew that this man was no longer as simple as a human being. The rumor that he was a god on earth was not an exaggeration.  Such a person ignores everything around him. It can be said that nothing can enter his eyes.  There were piles of gifts, and I just picked a small stone.  This is what you receive from your heart.  It also gives the owner face.  After sitting down, King Zheqilou once again mentioned the idea he mentioned, declaring that the Tang Dynasty would be the suzerainty, and the location of the port would be chosen by the Tang Dynasty, and corresponding places would be set aside for merchants from the Tang Dynasty to live.  And some escorts are allowed.  Li Yuanxing did not answer immediately, but turned his head and said to Pei Xi: "I suddenly thought that the Harsha Empire should disappear." "His Highness said it would disappear, and it will naturally disappear." Li Yuanxing then said to King Zheqilou: "  You don¡¯t have to ask for troops or weapons. It¡¯s time for King Haris to disappear. We can destroy him in one battle.¡± ¡°Your Majesty, King Haris of Qin, owns¡­¡±  The king of his building wanted to persuade him.  Li Yuanxing waved his hand gently.  He signaled that he didn't need to say anything, because it didn't make much sense to argue about how strong the Sun King was.  At this point, it is enough to prove everything with facts.  "King Zheqilou, there is no need for you to participate in the battle with one soldier. Your soldiers can just clean up the battlefield." "I dare to ask His Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty. How many people are you planning to send to participate in the battle?" After King Zheqilou asked,  Li Yuanxing did not answer.  Instead, he said to Pei Xi: "In my name, call the Ministry of War. King Harsha has 60,000 elephant soldiers, 200,000 elite cavalry, and a large number of infantry. Ask the Ministry of War what kind of configuration can achieve a complete victory. I want to  What we want is a complete victory, we must take into account mountain warfare and water warfare!" After hearing this, Pei Xi bowed and retreated.  King Zheqilou knew that the Tang Dynasty had a magical device for transmitting messages over long distances. He had never seen it, but he had heard of it.  Each unit is guarded by elite sergeants. In addition to protection, each of these sergeants has a self-destructive heart. If there is danger, they will destroy themselves and the artifact at the same time.  Watching Pei Xi go out, King Zheqilou was looking forward to the military strategy plan coming out from the Tang Dynasty.  It seems that the business needs to stop for a while. Li Yuanxing was chatting casually about some local customs and other topics.  On the other side, Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty.  Hou Junji, Minister of the Ministry of War, had just returned to Chang'an. He went to the west to patrol the border. He had a feeling that the Tang Dynasty might be moving westward, so he visited the border towns in the west.  "Hou Shangshu, a telegram from Tianzhu. It is signed by His Highness the King of Qin." A subordinate sent the telegram here.  Hou Junji's first reaction after receiving the telegram was not how many troops could destroy King Harsha's hundreds of thousands of troops, but who would lead the troops this time.  The trouble is not that there are no generals, but that these generals are too idle. In small battles, they are all deputy generals and captains. Not to mention the generals, even the generals are?.  My fiefdom is on the right track, and the generals are not as good at business as the businessmen at home.  Knocking on his forehead, Hou Junji said softly: "Go and say hello to the Fire Guards, Flame Guards, and Thunder Guards. They may be sending out troops to fight against foreign enemies. Let them prepare to some extent, who to take, and how many to take.  If you go, the Ministry of War still needs to think about it and ask for instructions from the Holy One." The adjutant received the order but did not leave.  Hou Junji's face sank: "Go quickly!" "Hou Shangshu, I don't dare to go out until you have finished your instructions. This is tantamount to openly saying that a war is about to begin. It will probably take half a day to cover the distance between these three guards.  , Generals, I am afraid that I will not be able to run errands for you, Minister." "This is not nonsense, Hou Junji himself has a severe headache.  "That's all, tell them that this minister's order of generals will ultimately be decided by the Holy One. This time for the battle," Hou Junji couldn't go on and didn't know which guard should be ordered first.  In the end, there was nothing else to do. Hou Junji actually said: "I asked the minister to invite them to play mahjong, each with a hundred chips." "Yes!" The deputy general accepted the order happily.  Hou Junji, however, arranged his robes and ordered someone to hand over the sign first. He wanted to see Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty.  Of course, at the same time, people were also sent to invite Zhongshu Ling Li Jing, and of course the second prime minister Fang Du was also missing.  When the Ministry of War set up the mahjong table, dozens of generals cursed loudly.  In Li Er's study, Fang Xuanling pressed the desk: "Your Majesty, the problem in this battle is not the battle. It is not the logistics. All the fiefdoms in foreign wars are nearby and unconditionally support the expedition. Of course, this time the enemy also  There is nothing to fight." Li Er naturally understood this.  What about King Harsha, it doesn¡¯t matter if you shout that you are powerful, the Tang Dynasty dared to fight you ten years ago, but now the Tang Dynasty has no enemies in its sights.  Fang Xuanling continued: "Your Majesty, this may be the reason why Shangshu Hou dare not make the decision on how to distribute the benefits. Naturally, it is also the reason why His Royal Highness the King of Qin called the Ministry of War." "Your Majesty, Wu Lang is afraid that he does not want to participate in the distribution of benefits this time.  " Li Erxin said that he must have the majority of the benefits.  But as for the rest of the benefits, who will be responsible for distributing them to small states, to each fiefdom, and to noble families.  After it is settled, who will manage the land?  It¡¯s too far there.  Unless flying boats are used to go back and forth, it is unrealistic for Datang to directly manage.  But we definitely can¡¯t leave it to King Zheqilou. It is said that the land area is not smaller than that of the Tang Dynasty, and the population is close to 20 million people.  Such a foreign country will definitely be the enemy of the Tang Dynasty in the future.  While Li Er was thinking, Eunuch Gao came in holding a telegram.  "Your Majesty, His Highness the King of Qin has sent another telegram." Li Yuanxing and King Zheqilou had lunch together.  After chatting for a while, he told him to organize the army and prepare for war. Then he returned to his resting place and sent someone to send another telegram.  Li Er looked at the telegram. It was Li Yuanxing who described the situation in Tianzhu in detail.  You can be beaten to death on Harsh Day.  Then it split into dozens of small states.  But then a problem arose. King Zheqi Lou was too powerful.  Tianzhu accounts for one-third, how can it be safely divided?  Or it may still appear to be one country, but in fact it creates some territories that are beyond its control.  Killing is definitely the last resort.  Once this hole is opened, who among the foreign countries in the world will dare to seek refuge in the Tang Dynasty.  The control of coins is only one way, and another way of double insurance is needed.  In Li Yuanxing¡¯s words, if foreign countries did not fight among themselves, they would unite to fight against the Tang Dynasty.  The extended meaning of this sentence can also be understood as that if there is no internal fighting among the various fiefdoms of the aristocratic family, they will unite to fight against the Tang royal family.  If this question had been asked in the past, Li Er would have definitely asked Li Yuanxing what he meant.  At the moment, Li Yuanxing seems to no longer want to worry about these, but just puts forward some key points.  Li Er sighed softly: "Go and tell Tianying Pavilion, just tell me, Tianzhu must not have a unified country, so it has to be divided, and they will come up with an opinion on how to divide it. I  If you say it first, the troops must be dispatched immediately. The majesty of the Tang Dynasty cannot be weakened." Eunuch Gao quickly bent down and obeyed Li Er's instructions.  At the end, Li Er said again: "Tell them again, they are all people with status in the Tang Dynasty. Don't keep arguing in Tianying Pavilion for a small profit like a few bags of rice." Tianying Pavilion!  There are no tables, chairs, glass drinking glasses, or any sharp objects.  Everything must have rounded corners. The entire Tianying Pavilion is made of carpets, and the drinking water is made of precision.The cup, the surrounding pillars were all covered with cotton, and even the door was covered with thick leather.  Such soft bags are not good at fire protection. At least 500 water bottles were hung directly on the roof. Each water bottle can hold about two buckets of water, just because there is a danger of sudden fire here.  Tianyingge¡¯s record last year was that 1,400 people were injured, 17 were seriously injured, and two were disabled.  Li Er now gets a headache whenever he mentions Tianying Pavilion. There are quarrels here all day long, both about state affairs and royal matters.  There will also be quarrels for the selfish interests of different forces.  Otherwise, how could there be a soft-covered conference hall?  Li Er didn¡¯t want to say that the Ministry of War reported the battle losses of all the regular armies of the Tang Dynasty throughout last year.  Only 1,200 people were injured, nine were seriously injured, and no one was killed or disabled.  PS: Sorry, sorry.  I became obsessed with writing a new book, and I lost track of time while discussing the new book with a friend. I am sincerely sorry.  The Tang Dynasty will come to an end in a few days, with the final battle and then the last two concluding stories.  The new book is also ready and will be uploaded soon.  Sorry sorry.
