The Human Emperor Chapter 1022: The stationery sent to the King!
Chapter 102 Twelve
Someone has introduced this Khorasan People into the interior hall. Xi Yuanqing and Yuan Shurong entertained him and asked some things carefully before he quietly sent the Khorasan People out of the city.
"Wang Chong, you also heard what the Khorasan People said, the situation is not good for us!"
When Khorasan People was sent away, Gao Xianzhi sat down at the desk, his brows frowned, and he looked worried. How powerful Abu Muslin is for everyone to see. The power of his punch can even compete with Giant Ape, two more governors with Abu Muslin and Level, and more troops. Such a lineup, with the current situation of Talas is Can't resist anyway.
Wang Chong didn't speak, and the same concerns appeared.
How does Gao Xianzhi say he doesn't know, Caliphate can call more troops than Great Tang.
"We only have two choices now. The first is to retreat immediately. Before the large-scale force of Caliphate arrives, leave Talas and return to Central Plains Great Tang. With the current strength of Daqin Ruozan and West Turkic People, we must be difficult to resist."
Gao Xianzhi Road.
"But in this way, we will lose the city of Talas. This military town is stuck in the throat zone of Caliphate People eastward. Once we leave, it will be difficult to find such a strategic place. And once we cross Cong Ridge Will enter the Anxi inland. Now that we can block Caliphate in Talas, there will be no change in the Western Region, but once Caliphate People enters Anxi, it will be difficult to say whether the Western Regions will remain neutral at that time. "
Wang Chong shook his head.
Gao Xianzhi said that he hadn't thought about it, but this road didn't work at all. At present, everyone in Talas faces only one Caliphate. At best, there are Western Turkic and U-Tsang. However, if they retreat to the Western Regions, the countries will lose their power. I am afraid that Great Tang will face the Western Regions.
I was in a worse position than I am now.
"Well, I wanted to discuss it with you. It turned out that you thought of already. On the way to and from Talas, you should have seen already, and the entire Western Region was completely chaotic. Talas has not been defeated, and I am still, This is still the case in the Western Regions. If we retreat to the Western Regions, then the countries will only be more chaotic. It will even be bought by Caliphate People like Karluks and counterattack us. At that time, it will be a real internal and external problem. "
"Great Tang has been operating in the Western Region for more than 200 years, and it turns out that everyone's rule has failed!"
After saying this, Gao Xianzhi looked up and sighed long, showing a deep sense of frustration and loss.
He has been operating in the Western Region for more than ten years and is called Anxi War God, but an Talas's War, with the exception of some Mercenary(-ies), can no longer be recruited. Among the nations, no one is willing to join this war and help Great Tang. On the contrary, it is possible that after Great Tang retreated to the Western Regions, Caliphate will be defeated, which has to be said to be a failure.
How can I endure such a proud Gao Xianzhi?
Wang Chong opened his lips and stopped talking.
Great Tang is still too Huairou for Western Region. There is a saying that goes well, "Hu People is fearful but not wicked." It took Central Plains thousands of years to understand this morality. Central Plains benevolence and righteousness prevailed, and it was taken for granted that Westerners would have the same moral and righteousness as Central Plains. This is completely wishful thinking.
In the Western Regions, there is only one rule in common, "Powerhouse is respect." All the Western Regions need are only attached to one of the most Powerhouse. As for "Huairou" and "benefits", they have no meaning at all.
It's really weird that two different civilized structures, but taking for granted oneself and others, will succeed.
However, the war is imminent, but it is not the time to discuss such things. In addition, there are many reasons for the introduction of the Huairou policy in the Western Region, which cannot be completely blamed on Gao Xianzhi.
"Adults don't have to blame themselves, Great Tang hasn't reached that point, and this battle, we may not lose. As for the Anxi, we should consider it later when this battle ends."
Wang Chong comforted.
"Hmm."
Gao Xianzhi nodded, and soon came back. He has always been calm and calm in front of outsiders, rarely revealing his inner weakness, even in front of Cheng Qianli and Feng Changqing. Being able to say these words with Wang Chong is obviously a confidant who regards Wang Chong as his peers and can discuss many issues.
Cheng Qianli and Feng Changqing are both good and have their own talents, but when it comes to Art of War, layout, martial arts, strategy ... they are still a little worse. So when Gao Xianzhi talked in front of them, they still had reservations. Let Gao Xianzhi treat each other so frankly, there is no such thing as the whole thing, I am afraid that it is only Wang Chong.
"It's really not that far. But for us, choosing Talas as the decisive battle location is far better than Western Region. And once retreating to the Western Region, Caliphate People can detour at any time and enter Longxi and the hinterland , This is even more detrimental to us. In any case, we must not leave Talas. "
Gao Xianzhi gravely says:
"So next, there is only one way left. We must appeal to Royal Court as soon as possible, and ask for reinforcements."
Wang Chong nodded. At this point, he and Gao Xianzhi completely agree.
Abu Muslin is Eastern Governor of Caliphate, Commander is also a domain military force(s), like Anxi Protectorate Army and Qixi Protectorate Army of Great Tang. But if you add other governors, the nature will be completely different. According to the Khorasan People, the Qutayba Commander is the military force(s) in the north of Caliphate, which is equivalent to a Abu Muslin. And there is also a Cairo Governor Ottoman.
Not to mention, Caliphate Emperor Caliph is also preparing to send Mamlik Legion.
The nature of this battle, at this moment already completely changed. The war was officially escalated from a local war to a large-scale positive Legion war. Caliphate gathered at least 30% to 40% of its strength, such a huge scale, relying only on Wang Chong and Gao Xianzhi a little residual soldiers is simply not enough.
"I agree with Sir Protectorate. However, my qualifications in the military are too shallow to say Royal Court at all. I'm afraid Sir Protectorate needs to cooperate in this matter."
Wang Chong gravely says.
"You can rest assured that I will jointly write a letter with you, which is very painful. This battle is very important. Like the Khorasan People said, the ambition of Caliphate People is endless, as long as they let Talas, then, Caliphate People It will have U-Tsang and Western Turkic allies east of Cong Ridge, and then all Caliphate Legion will march eastward. I am afraid that Great Tang will encounter an enemy that has never been seen for hundreds of years.
Gao Xianzhi worried. As an outstanding Top Level Great General, Gao Xianzhi's eyes are sharper and longer-term than many people.
"I was just worried that in-court ministers did not participate in the battlefield and did not understand the seriousness of the battle or what they will face after the defeat of the battle. At that time, it was not just about winning a battle Talas's War is so simple. Tigers show weakness, and wolves will swarm up. And in-court and King Qi people, they are keen to engage in fighting and even the security of the country. With their past actions, I am afraid they will try their best to stop them. Try our best to block our writing. Also ... "
"No soldiers are available for the current Royal Court!"
At the end, Gao Xianzhi sighed deeply.
Talas, he went to dozens of letters for help from Royal Court. In the end, it was only Wang Chong's Qixi Protectorate Army, Wushang Heavy Cavalry, and Royal Court. The combined strength was only 60,000. The other 50,000 to 60,000 military force(s) are all from Wang Chong spent a lot of money from the Western Region hire.
In his capacity of Anxi Great Protectorate, he spent two months. All he hoped for was this force. The situation of Great Tang can be imagined.
Wang Chong is silent. Suddenly, needle drops were heard in the hall.
Can he not understand the problem that Gao Xianzhi said, but Great Tang is not Caliphate, they have too many elbow restraints. There are many enemies around Great Tang. The combined forces of various countries are probably two to three million. Great Tang can hold them with these forces, already is quite good.
More than that, like Gao Xianzhi said, King Qi is always a huge obstacle!
"Looks like he can't stay any longer!"
Wang Chong secretly thought, a thought flashed through my mind. Great Tang wanted ZTE to survive the catastrophe, and the King Qi line has always been a huge obstacle. For the first time, Wang Chong felt that King Qi was a huge threat. Whether it is for Central Plains or Great Tang, King Qi can no longer stay in Imperial Court.
"Sir Protectorate rest assured, even if King Qi and others hinder the Royal Court issue, I have my own way to solve it. I just need Sir Protectorate to prepare two letters for me,"
Seeing Gao Xianzhi's curious and inquiring eyes, Wang Chong did not hide it:
"Another ... for me grandfather."
Gao Xianzhi was surprised for a moment, then suddenly a look of respect appeared on his face. Great Tang Duke of Jiu, the prosperous Prime Minister, from the year of the dragon minister, but also together with Sage Emperor cast Great Tang glorious brachio-heavy minister, the whole world is unknown, no one knows.
"If Duke of Jiu comes forward, it will be completely different."
Gao Xianzhi is sincere.
Duke of Jiu's achievements in that year are obvious to all in the world. Without his dedication, I am afraid that Great Tang will not easily make the world's first and the prosperous world in all directions. And the Duke of Jiu's achievements go beyond politics and governance, and they have made outstanding contributions even in the military.
Great Tang can have today's Changzhijiuan, Duke of Jiu as a virtuous person, but also has great credit.
More importantly, Duke of Jiu Able to retreat, if not Sage Emperor Try hard to flow, in the name of the people of the world, hope Duke of Jiu Can continue to assist, I'm afraid Duke of Jiu Long ago already Retired. But even so, in Four Quarters Embassy in, Duke of Jiu And rarely meddle In politics, if it ’s not very important, Duke of Jiu Basically no problem.
This is extremely rare.
