Chapter 1606 Western Province(1/4)
"Say!"
"Say!"
Along with the yellow sand in the sky, a team was quickly heading towards the west.
"General, we still have 10,000 people. As long as we are recruiting a group of people, we can actually fight with the Tang army.
After they left Xizhou, in order to rule the entire Western Regions, their troops would definitely be increasingly dispersed.
We will definitely find an opportunity to attack them at that time."
Elysen followed Ali's horse unwillingly and kept expressing his opinions.
After escaping from Xizhou City, they ran west for three days day and night, with almost no news.
Then he dared to stop and gather the people left everywhere.
"It's useless. Tang Jun has the hot air balloon. It's completely impossible for us to sneak attack them.
They can even follow the hot air balloon to detect our movements and mobilize troops to siege us in time.
So it doesn’t make any sense for us to stay in the Western Regions until we find a better way to deal with them.”
Although Ali was full of resentment towards the Tang Dynasty, the more this time he seemed, the calmer he seemed.
If you just think about revenge, there may be no good results.
So this time he took the remnants of the collected troops and quickly headed west.
The Western Regions are so big that if they move a little slower, they might be able to take a shortcut to stop them.
Then, it would not be so easy for them to leave the Western Regions alive.
"We still have a lot of gold, silver, treasures, cattle, sheep and horses in many cities, and we have not taken them away. We just left them to the Tang people. Isn't it a pity?"
Odyssey was also full of regret when he was beside him.
He also put a lot of effort into plundering these treasures.
But now I have done useless work.
"There is no time, this time I can only get a discount on Tangren.
If we had known that today would be, we should not have massacred all the princes and nobles of those countries in Kucha.
Now it’s cheaper to the Tang Dynasty, allowing them to arrange things in the Western Regions as they please.”
As a general in charge of expanding territory in the Dashi Empire, Ali is naturally very experienced in how to better rule a region.
His previous practice was entirely prepared for the Great Food Empire to better rule the Western Regions.
But now that the Western Regions have fallen into the hands of the Tang Dynasty, all my efforts have turned into making wedding clothes for the Tang people.
"General, after returning to Dashi this time, how should we explain to people in China?
These Tang people were so treacherous that they burned the entire grassland, and we suffered heavy losses because of this reason.
What do you think of this statement?”
Elysen still thinks a lot.
Although it will take at least one month to return to the Great Food Empire.
But many things need to be considered in advance.
Otherwise, General Ali's reputation will not be preserved by then.
As General Ali's left arm and right arm, the boss's reputation is no longer good, and the people below will naturally be affected.
This is obviously something that neither Elysen nor Odyssey want to see.
"Elysen's proposal is good. The Tang people's methods are too cruel. They can't help but let the entire grassland carry a big fire to deal with us.
This method is really cruel.
In the future, when our soldiers of Dashi meet Tang people, they must not be ruthless and must be more ruthless than them."
Odyssey also agreed with Elysen's proposal without blushing.
At this time, we naturally need to find a reason that is easier to accept.
Although hot air balloons, crossbows, and heavy armored cavalry are actually the real reasons for the failure, if these things are mentioned, everyone will think that Ali is not able to lead the troops, so he was defeated by the Tang people.
It would be better to say that it was because of a fire, so the losses were heavy.
It's like the navy defeated. If the opponent's sea boat is better than yours and the opponent's weapons are sharper than yours, it will naturally be unpleasant if it fails.
But if your fleet accidentally encounters a hurricane, most of the sea ships will be overturned by the hurricane, causing heavy casualties.
At this time, everyone will not feel that your failure is no longer the same.
Instead, it will help you get rid of it.
Obviously, Elysen and Odyssey both knew this truth.
"This is the reason, what are you going to worry about?
Do we need to make up another reason?”
Ali looked at Odyssey and Elysen on both sides of his side, and said this without expression.
This made Elysen and Odyssey stunned for a moment.
Well, the leader is still relatively high.
"I heard that General Muaweiye, who was on the navy, had suffered a great loss from the Tang Dynasty Navy in the West, but General Muaweiye was unclear at that time, and no one cared about it.
Now it seems that the Tang Dynasty is really as many people in the Western Regions said, and it is a country with very strong strength.
I think it is necessary to arrange people to learn about the situation in this country in the future.”
Elysen changed the topic very promptly.
If the topic just now continues to be discussed, it will be a bit embarrassing.
Fortunately, everyone has reached an agreement and then the same caliber will be fine.
"It can make something as magical as a hot air balloon, and it can also use something like a turbulent bomb on the battlefield.
This Tang Dynasty is indeed very different from what we had imagined before.
General, we actually need some businessmen in our country to go to the Tang Dynasty to do business.
I think we can find these merchants to inquire. Their understanding of the Tang Dynasty should be more accurate than the rumors spread by those in the Western Regions.
After all, if we hadn’t been to the Tang Dynasty in person, then what this person said was not worth believing and it would be easy to mislead us.”
Odyssey also made his point.
"I think we should not only inquire about the situation in the Tang Dynasty, but also inquire about how these things were made.
Can we make something similar?
If you want to deal with the Tang Dynasty hot air balloons, I think the best way is to make hot air balloons the same way.
At that time, everyone will have hot air balloons in the air. If the sharpshooter is arranged on it, you can deal with Tangren's hot air balloons."
Although Elysen has been running away these days, he still specifically asked some people to learn about the situation in the Tang Dynasty.
For example, hot air balloons, in fact, not no one in the Western Regions knows about it.
After all, the Tang Dynasty used this thing to deal with the Hu people more than ten years ago.
Some related legends are circulated in many places.
However, after this kind of story has been passed down for a long time, many people really just treat it as a story.
Who knows that now I realize that these stories are all derived from real cases.
Sure enough, many things can only be felt by yourself after experiencing them.
"Well, our Great Food Empire has conquered countries over the years, and there are also many skilled craftsmen doing things for us.
As long as we figure out how the Tang Dynasty made these things, I believe that our craftsmen of Dashi can also make the same thing.
Next time, we will be able to get all the lost faces this time back.”
Ali naturally agreed with Odyssey and Elysen's proposal.
At this time, in addition to considering how to give everyone an explanation after returning to China, we also need to consider how to deal with the Tang people in the future.
Otherwise, they would never be able to come to the Western Regions again in this life.
The group was so dusty that they headed towards the west, which completely retracted the hand that extended the Great Food Empire to the Western Regions.
All that was left was a few big cannibals who had not reacted.
and various vassal states whose organizational structure has just been destroyed.
However, this made Su Dingfang and the others convenient.
...
"Dafei, I heard that these servants have been arrested in one breath in the past week?"
After the fire outside Xizhou City was extinguished, the army immediately divided into multiple troops and quickly accepted the various cities in the Western Regions.
As for the world outside the city, it was completely handed over to Dafei and Xi Jun to deal with.
Yanqi City, there is a big city to the west of Xizhou.
This was once the capital of Yanqi and its geographical location was quite important.
Although Xi Junmai and Dafei were divided into two groups when they left Xizhou, they both chose Yanqi City as a resting place at the next stop.
