Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "Go, someone will copy your majesty and all the ministers."

Shuling Shi hurried away with the urgent mail.

Inside the Hall of Xiande, Li Jing reported to Li Jianchenghui: "The Ministry of War has listed an estimate of the number of troops needed for the national war at the end of next year.

Li Jiancheng quickly pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Li Jingdao: "Datang must mobilize at least 30 or 50 troops, of which the cavalry force must reach 10. The army is going out, among them, the cavalry is no more than 3 people..."

Li Jiancheng frowned deeply.

Wei Zheng said, "Although Your Majesty has issued an edict to raise horses in all parts of Guanzhong, the famine has not completely passed, and the effect of the horse administration will not be seen for a while..."

At this moment, Fang Xuanling suddenly came in and interrupted everyone's speech: "No, the calculation of the Ministry of War is wrong...

Li Jiancheng and the others turned their heads in unison, looking at Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling said: "If you choose summer or autumn for this war, then you will need 30 to 50 troops; but if you choose winter or spring as the time to start the war..."

Li Jiancheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

Fang Xuanling pondered and said: "Then one hundred thousand troops is enough; if the heavens are good and let Mobei have another heavy snowfall, then the Tang Dynasty only needs 5000 troops to destroy the Turks. Among them, the cavalry [-] troops are enough."

Li Jiancheng jumped up and said, "That's right, a heavy snowfall is enough to hold a hundred thousand troops."

Yang Gongren said: "Compared with cattle, the sheep in Mobei breed faster. A good breed can give birth to two babies a year, and generally three babies in two years. If there is enough forage, the number can be doubled in one and a half years. .”

Fang Xuanling said: "The number of sheep in Xieli's flock is still sufficient. As long as he is willing to rest for two years, at least the Turkic people will not be short of goat milk."

Yang Gongren said: "Their grain harvest this year has been exhausted."

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "Jieli forced the Han people who were captured by him to Mobei to farm for him. There are about 150 million of these people."

Li Jing handed a thick stack of documents to Wei Zhengdao: "This is the statistics of Turkic cattle, sheep, livestock and horses collected from Mobei by the Ministry of War and Zheng Yuanshou. The top is the general statistics."

Wei Zheng picked up the statistics table on the top, scanned it quickly, and said in surprise: "The horses of the Turkic people are so worn out? I remember that in the seventh year of Wude, the number of horses in the tribe under Guang Tuli was more than this number. "

Li Jing nodded and said: "For three consecutive years of fighting, plus the two years of heavy snowstorms in winter, the Turkic people, no matter how rich their families are, cannot withstand such a toss. Now Xieli is desperately trying to blackmail Xue Yantuo, Xi, Qi, and other tribes. , That's why these tribal rebellions were triggered.

Wei Zheng weighed the thick document with emotion and said: "The Ministry of War and Honglu Temple have worked hard. If they can defeat the Turks, they will also record their credit."

A Zhongshu Tongshisheren wanted to enter the Zhengshitang, but was stopped by Li Anyan, who was guarding the door: "The ministers are in a meeting."

Tong Shi Sheren Yiji said: "The envoy of Honglu Temple just brought news from Xue Yantuo's department."

Li Jiancheng took in Tuli and canonized him as the king of Beiping County. This gave Yinan hope. After all, participating in the alliance, the consumption of East Turkic is increasing. There are no less than 3 representatives participating in the alliance. These people must entertain good.

The result of Jieli's oppression of Xue Yantuo was to make Yinan Khan prepare to follow Tuli's example and surrender to Li Tang's court.

The Prime Ministers looked at the surrender form brought by Tongshi Sheren, and Wei Zheng suddenly said, "How does Your Majesty plan to respond to Xue Yantuo's request?"

Li Jiancheng said: "I promised Yi Nan that I would send envoys to canonize with great fanfare."

Yuwen Shiji nodded and said, "If Jieli knows about this, he will definitely send troops to put down the rebellion."

Li Jiancheng said with a smile: "I just want him to not have a moment to breathe."

Fang Xuanling said: "If we follow the current strategy, by the end of next year, Datang's national strength will be restored..."

Wei Zheng laughed and said, "The Turks at that time were the weakest..."

Li Jiancheng said with a sneer: "One will ebb and flow, and the end of next year will be the time for the decisive battle between the two countries."

But Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, don't be complacent. Fu Jian before Feishui, Cao Mengde before Chibi...a lesson from others..."

Li Jiancheng said: "If a family has admonishing sons, the family will not be defeated; if a country has admonishing ministers, the country will not be destroyed; Fang Xuanling is my admonishing minister!"

Everyone looked at Fang Xuanling together.

Fang Xuanling narrowed his eyes, and said with a calm expression: "Your Majesty, if you praise me, I will still say what I should say.

Li Jiancheng's face fell suddenly.

The others fought back the urge to laugh.

……

After Fang Xuanling left the court, he drove back to the front of the house.At this moment, Fang Xuanling saw Gao Shilian standing at the entrance of the alley.

Fang Xuanling got off the carriage and stood side by side with Gao Shilian.

Fang Xuanling invited Gao Gaoshilian to enter the mansion.

Gao Shilian shook his head and said, "No, I have other things to do!"

Fang Xuanling frowned and said, "What's the matter?"

Gao Shilian said: "I heard that His Majesty praised you as an admonishing minister in the Political Affairs Hall today?"

Fang Xuanling nodded.

Gao Shilian sighed and said, "Xuan Ling, it is certainly an honor to be an admonishing minister, but this proves that you have said too many unpleasant things on a daily basis. His Majesty feels disgusted when he hears you speak."

Fang Xuanling nodded: "I know myself."

Gao Shilian smiled wryly and said, "After all, the pre-Qin king is not in power now, brother Xuanling, you should restrain yourself a little bit!"

Fang Xuanling nodded lightly, smiled without saying a word.

Chapter 51 Leading the Army to Attack Tongwan City

Chapter 51 Leading the Army to Attack Tongwan City

The sharp scimitar slashed heavily at Zhang Changxun's chest, and the solid Mingguang armor blocked the fatal blow for him.Although the scimitar didn't break through the heavy armor, Zhang Changxun still felt dizzy and felt tight in his head and chest.

Blood--

Looking around, there was blood red everywhere.

Zhang Changxun took a deep breath, firmly held the horizontal knife in his hand, and shouted at the swarming Turkic soldiers: "Come on... Turkic wolves...yeah Zhang Changxun..."

Looking at the city wall, Zhang Changxun, who was already at the end of his strength, had reached less than [-] soldiers of the Tang army.A smile finally appeared on Ashina Sheer's face.

Casili Balsi, the Byzantine consul who was just watching the battle, was not as relaxed as Ashina Sher, but more worried.

Compared with the Byzantine Empire, the Battle of Toyosu can only be regarded as a tactical-level combat mission.There were not a thousand castles as small as Toyosu Castle in the Byzantine Empire, but at least eight hundred.In fairness, if a Roman legion of the Byzantine Empire (the standard Roman legion has ten brigades, between 500 and 6000 people), they may not be able to last for three hours in the face of a Turkic attack of the same size. .

However, Tang Jun in Fengzhou City persisted for four full days.When the slow slope was built, the Tang army put down the rolling logs on the city wall, and each rolling log could always take the lives of dozens or hundreds of Turkic soldiers.When the reserves of rolling logs on the wall of Fengzhou City were exhausted, the soldiers of the Tang Army still did not give up.
