Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

In the army, no matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful!

In the Datang barracks, a secret meeting of the highest standard started.

Cheng Yaojin, as the vanguard officer, presided over the meeting.

Cen Wenwen served as the clerk of this meeting.

As a staff member, Su Wu took the lead in speaking.

"The intention of the Uighurs coming this time is obvious. Dashi and them had agreed long ago that they would attack Datang from the north after the war started. However, Dashiren has not moved. It has been ten years since the date they agreed on. For three days!"

"The Uighurs are aggressive and have coveted me towards the Longyou Dao for many years. They must have been unable to hold back this time, so they rashly sent troops!"

All the veterans nodded one after another, expressing their agreement with Su Wu's opinion.

They couldn't think of any other reason for the Uighurs to send troops without authorization.

Zhang Gongjin was young and inexperienced, but he had many years of experience in fighting alien races. He stood up and cupped his fists at the old men.

"The last general thinks that this battle should actively meet the enemy. Unlike my Central Plains soldiers, the alien army rarely uses psychological tactics. If we want to fight, we must subdue them all at once, so that they have no power to fight back!"

The old men did not speak for a while.

What Zhang Gongjin said is correct, alien races are different from Central Plains people.

They seldom have the patience to plan and act later.

The quality of the soldiers and the quality of the horses are what they rely on to win.

"That's not the way to look at it. Your Majesty is negotiating with Yusuf. If our army is damaged in battle, Your Majesty will lose a few points. In the long run, it will not be good for us!"

Qu Tutong was the oldest, mature and prudent, and thought the most comprehensively.

Guo Guogong Zhang Shigui got up and said: "What Qu Shuai said is not unreasonable. This negotiation is related to the future interests of the imperial court in the Western Regions. Unauthorized deployment of troops will definitely affect the outcome of the negotiation. Therefore, it is not appropriate to start a war."

Yin Qiao, the Duke of Xun who rarely spoke, also got up and said: "This commander agrees with Qu Shuai. Now I, Datang, are standing on the same front with the big cannibals. The Uyghurs may be the first to fight with you when they come here." The big cannibals are going to war, it's better to wait and see first!"

Although Liu Bai didn't understand military affairs, he was also surprised.

These old men in the court usually clamored to conquer the whole world.

I can't wait to fight every day.

But this time, most people actually support the idea of ​​avoiding war?

However, after all, there was someone who spoke for Zhang Gongjin.

Su Dingfang, Zuo Xiaowei's general, was barely qualified to participate in this meeting because of his military exploits in the past few years.

He is the youngest among the senior generals in the court, six years younger than Zhang Gongjin.

This year is less than thirty.

"I support the idea of ​​taking the initiative to attack. If you lose, it may affect your majesty's negotiations, but if our army succeeds in annihilating the Uyghurs, then your majesty will definitely show his power in the negotiations and seek more benefits for our dynasty. !"

Two distinct factions emerged.

Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde and others, who were always loud, didn't say a word.

The old and the young faction quarreled more and more fiercely.

Instead, they became more and more silent.

Gradually, Liu Bai also saw the clue.

It's not that the bosses don't want to fight.

It's because I'm afraid I won't win

After all, the big cannibals aren't quite friends yet.

A hungry wolf stood beside it, even if there was a rabbit jumping back and forth in front of it, it couldn't be roasted and eaten steadily.

Liu Bai also knew what Cheng Yaojin and the others were thinking.

It wasn't him who saw it, but Cheng Yaojin and others, who showed it too clearly.

He gestured again, lip-synced again, and kept scanning Liu Bai's body with his eyes.

The meaning is obvious.

Liu Bai shrugged his shoulders, and nodded to Cheng Yaojin and the others.

Cheng Yaojin and others were overjoyed.

Bang bang bang!

Several people patted the table vigorously.

In the big tent, there was an instant silence.

"Fight! Must fight!"

Cheng Yaojin said excitedly.

Qu Tutong glanced at him, and said displeasedly: "How old are you, why are you still acting like these brash brats?"

Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly, and said: "How can you figure out the wisdom of this commander?"

After speaking, he stretched out his hand to Liu Bai.

Liu Bai took out a key and handed it to him.

Cheng Yaojin raised the key above the top.

"This is the confidence to wipe out the Uighurs!"

Everyone gasped as they looked at the key in Cheng Yaojin's hand.

Qu Tutong's pupils shrank suddenly.

"Hey! Why did the old man forget this thing!"

He wiped his face, and his expression instantly turned into a vicious look.

"Hit! Hit the motherfucker!"

Chapter 967 It is estimated that after going back, you old men should go to school

The existence of artillery is still a secret so far.

Except for a few veterans in the army, only a few generals who accompanied the army knew about it.

Those responsible for escorting and using artillery are not in the vanguard battalion, but in the rear supply battalion.

They barely deal with outsiders.

All meals are made in small stoves in the supply camp.

There was some speculation in the army, and they all thought that this group of people was transporting gold, silver and treasure.

Accustomed to the way of fighting with cold weapons, these veterans have no concept of using hot weapons at all.

It's not that Zhang Gongjin and his younger generals have more active minds and broader thinking.

It's because they don't even have the qualifications to know the existence of artillery

However, even if they knew that artillery was the key to defeating the enemy, they couldn't use it.

Because they did not have the power to mobilize the artillery battalion.

Even if there is, there is no way.

All guns have safety guards.

As for the key, Li Er always wore it on his body, and he didn't take it off when he took a shower.

In other words, without Li Er, the artillery in the army is just a display.

However, there are none in the army, but there are in the mud city!

Liu Bai arrived at Muni City one step ahead of everyone else. When he came, he brought a full twenty cannons with him!

What's the difference if you can't get Li Er's key and directly use Liu Bai's cannon?

After a short period of excitement, the old men fell silent again.

Suddenly, a sense of sadness welled up in their hearts.

The age of bravery is over.

Relying on the twenty cannons in Liu Bai's hands, plus thousands of cavalry, annihilating the Uighurs is as easy as cutting wheat.

The experience, strategies, and even courage of the veterans are useless

Grief is contagious.

The smiles on the faces of Cheng Yaojin and the others disappeared very quickly.

Liu Bai touched Su Wu next to him.

"What happened to them?"

Su Wu sighed, and said: "I can understand their feelings, the general is useless, so he is no longer a general."

Liu Bai scratched his head, but didn't understand what Su Wu meant.

After thinking about it, he suddenly realized, and said: "It turns out that you don't know about that matter yet."

Cheng Yaojin raised his head depressedly, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Liu Bai smiled and said: "Last year, when the artillery was developed, His Majesty planned to set up a senior general class in the academy to teach the senior generals in the court the use of thermal weapons and new tactical deduction methods. , It is estimated that after returning, you old men should go to school."

time does not wait!

The Uighurs are fast.

They didn't spare their war horses at all, and rushed to Tangni City with their lives.

With the news, the scouts found them easily.

When the high-level meeting was over, the latest news came.

The Uighurs have already reached less than 150 miles away!

According to this speed, at the latest in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, they should be heading to Mud City!

At the meeting, the old coaches discussed good tactics with the anxiety of being about to enter school.

Two hours later, the mighty 15 imperial army marched in the direction of Muni City in an orderly manner!

Early morning of the third day!

When the imperial army appeared in the sight of the people of Muni City, the whole city was about to explode!

"Datang's army is coming!"

"Run!"

"The people of the Tang Dynasty are demons who cannibalize people without spitting out their bones!"

The people rushed home in a frenzy, planning to pack up their things and run away from the west gate.

However, some discerning people discovered something unusual.

Those merchants from various countries in the city didn't seem nervous at all.

What should be sold, and continue to sell.

There are even caravans at the gate of the city, entering the city one after another!

Abbas, the prime minister of Shanshan Kingdom who got the news, climbed up the wall of the palace with a blushing face.

Thanks to the efforts of the Shanshan soldiers, the people who were about to flee quickly gathered outside the palace.

Abbas was shaking with excitement.

He took a few deep breaths, trying to calm down his excitement.

Solemn and solemn, announced to the people in Muni City.

"From now on, we are all Tang people!"

"The sovereign has already pledged allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor of Tang!"

"The army of the Tang Dynasty will protect our Shanshan people from being bullied by outsiders!"
