Datang broom star

"By the way, I received a document from Baiqi today. His Highness looked at the map for a long time, and then forgot to eat."

"what's up?"

"It is said that the Turkic people in the Western Regions often harass them."

"Is Ashina Helu inflated?"

Since being hit hard last time, the Turks never dared to provoke Datang again.Datang took this opportunity to pacify Liaodong and improve its strategic situation.

Jia Pingan looked to the west and said, "Anxi!"

……

Persian.

In a resplendent palace, more than ten people are discussing.

The general at the head said coldly: "Where is Belus?"

The following general said: "Persia was subjugated, and Belus fled again, probably in the Tocharian area. Rhodes, should we use this as an excuse to attack Tocharian?"

Rhodes shook his head, and said indifferently: "The army of the South Route has swept Tianzhu, and as the general of the Army of the East Route, I must do something. But before that, we must see the beasts around."

The general said: "We destroyed Persia last time, but then we gave up on Persia..."

Rhodes said: "That's because the higher-ups realized the importance of Persia. With Persia, we can look at the Anxi area."

The general asked: "Rods, are we going to defeat Datang?"

Rhodes looked calm, "Anything can happen in the future. We are expanding everywhere now, and we are invincible. If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to occupy more space, it will be too late to regret later."

He got up and asked someone to hang up the map.

"Look at this, our army captured Persia, but small countries such as Tocharia are confident. This is relying on the power of the Tang Dynasty. But we must also see that the Tang Dynasty has many enemies in the Anxi area, and the biggest enemy is Tubo."

The general said: "Tubo is strong, so it can be said to be a good opponent. There are also Turks, even if they are not as good as they were in their heyday, Turks should not be underestimated."

"Yes." Rhodes nodded, "We want to stabilize our rule in Persia and continue to invade the east. Remember not to make too much noise, so that we can attack while watching the situation. If the situation is in our favor, we will not hesitate Attack hesitantly."

He turned around and looked at the generals, with a look of excitement on his brows.

"Think about it, if we can defeat Datang, not only can we obtain countless wealth and land, but also countless people. This will be a first achievement that is not easy in thousands of years."

……

Ashina Helu looked older, but he was getting fatter and fatter.

In the tent, a pot was placed on the campfire, and the soup inside was tumbling and fragrant.

After eating a mouthful of mutton, he touched his gray beard with his oily hands, and Ashina Helu looked up at his subordinates.

"We've been silent long enough."

Everyone looked up, with anger in their eyes.

"The once powerful Turks have become ridiculed street rats." Ashina Helu said in a sonorous tone, "It's not that Ben Khan didn't want to do anything these years, but he just wanted to accumulate a stronger army for the warriors to practice. More skilful."

He raised his glass and took a swig.

"Now the opportunity has come." Ashina Helu put down his wine glass, "A huge caravan has just left Tingzhou, and their destination is Suiye. Rest in Tai City for a few days, and there are countless luggage in Luntai City. If we capture Luntai, we will have no shortage of money and food, and then we will be able to show the damned Tubo people how our warriors killed the enemy."

A nobleman said: "Khan, will the Tang army come to help in time?"

Ashina Helu said: "Don't worry about this. Back then we almost defeated Tingzhou, so what if Tingzhou came to help? We will win this battle!"

Hearing that a huge caravan will go to Luntai, everyone became excited.

After eating the mutton and drinking wine, Ashina Helu held an enlarged meeting.

After listening to the briefing, the crowd cheered.

"Break the wheel!"

……

There are several trade routes from Datang to the Western Regions, one of which is to go west from Yumen Pass through Yizhou, passing Tingzhou, Luntai, Rehai to Suiye.

As a hub, Luntai has attracted a lot of attention.

Standing on the top of the city, Zhang Wenbin, the guard, looked at the small lakes on the east side, and said, "The springs are flowing endlessly over there. It would be great if we could bring in all of them. After all, bathing in summer will be more refreshing."

Wu Hui, the deputy general beside him, said, "Yes! Going into the water for a swim, coming up to have a barbecue and a few glasses of fine wine, how pleasant is it?"

"How long will the caravan arrive?"

"Should we be there soon?"

Zhang Wenbin frowned, "The day before yesterday we sent 300 people to escort Sui Yelai's caravan, but now there are only 900 people left in the city, which is not appropriate."

"The caravan is coming."

The huge caravan can't see the end at a glance.

"Open the gate."

The city gate opened, and Zhang Wenbin took people down to verify his identity.

In fact, the two hundred soldiers of the Tang Dynasty accompanying them had already proved the legitimacy of the convoy.

Zheng Biao, the leader of the caravan, stepped forward and said with a smile: "I'm going to Suiye this time, but I'm going to disturb Captain Zhang, please forgive me."

As he spoke, a piece of silver slipped into Zhang Wenbin's cuff.

Zhang Wenbin said coldly: "Bribe me?"

Zheng Biao said with a smile: "It's just to make friends. To do business, you have to have friends all over the world. Captain Zhang just accepts..."

Zhang Wenbin flicked his sleeves, and the silver ingot rushed out.

Zheng Biao caught it easily, without changing his smile, "Lieutenant Zhang's uprightness is admirable. Zheng has quite a few friends in Chang'an. When he arrives in Chang'an, he will only talk and take care of eating, drinking and having fun. If he frowns, he will be gone from now on." Go home and be a rich man, and never dare to go out to meet people."

This person is over 50, and he is so naughty!

Zhang Wenbin said indifferently: "Zhang has his own friends."

After Zheng Biao left, Zhang Wenbin said: "The so-called profiteers are talking about such people, be careful, no one will save you if you are dragged into the water."

Wu Hui said: "I can't bend down for money."
