903 The Imperial Empire

King Jie was also a great king. When he first took over the throne, he only had a few thousand troops.

He likes elephants and even more like elephant soldiers.

At present, he has 60,000 elite elephant soldiers, 200,000 cavalry, and even larger infantry, not counting the small states that are dependent on him.

The powerful military force allowed him to ignore all the countries in the world. The great cannibals were defeated, the Persians were defeated, and the entire conquest of Tianzhu was only a step away, without the obstacles of mountains or the mud of rivers. All he conquered was

footsteps.

Those who believe this are not only King Harsha himself, but also his prey to the north, King Zhaqilou.

When welcoming the extremely noble King Qin of the Tang Dynasty into his royal city, the noble King Zheqilou kept his head slightly lowered. After seeing the military strength of the Tang Dynasty, he knew that this was an army that was no weaker than King Harsha.

country.

Entering the main hall, Li Yuanxing walked directly to the main seat without waiting for the host to greet him.

This is a very bad habit, a bad habit developed by the nobles of the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, except for Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty and Emperor Li Yuan, no one needed Li Yuanxing to give up his seat.

Li Yuanxing, who was thinking about Xuanzang, walked to the main seat unnaturally.

This action shocked the guards of the Zheqilou Palace to the point where their hearts almost stopped. If they did not take any action, they would be disloyal to King Zheli. If they did, they would provoke a war in the Tang Dynasty.

But what everyone never expected was that King Zheqilou sat casually on the second seat on the side.

Fortunately, Li Yuanxing reacted at this time and stood up again: "Sorry. I was distracted just now." After saying that, Li Yuanxing sat down opposite the king of Zheqi Tower, leaving the top main seat empty.

come out.

King Zheqilou said nothing. From the first moment he saw Li Yuanxing, King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty, he knew that this man was no longer as simple as a human master. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a god in the world. Such a person should be ignored.

Looking at everything around him, it can be said that nothing can enter his eyes.

There were piles of gifts, and I just picked out a small stone.

This is a sign of appreciation and also gives the owner face.

After sitting down, King Zheqilou once again mentioned the idea he had mentioned, declaring that the Tang Dynasty would be the suzerainty, and that the location of the port would be chosen by the Tang Dynasty, and corresponding places would be set aside for merchants from the Tang Dynasty to live.

And some escorts are allowed.

Li Yuanxing did not answer immediately, but turned his head and said to Pei Xi: "I suddenly think that the Harbin Empire should disappear."

"His Royal Highness said it would disappear, and of course it will disappear."

Li Yuanxing then said to King Zheqilou: "You don't need to ask for troops or weapons. It's time for King Harsha to disappear. We can destroy him in one battle."

"Your Highness, King Qin, King Harisi owns..." King Zheqilou wanted to persuade.

Li Yuanxing waved his hand gently, indicating that he didn't need to say anything, because it didn't make much sense to argue about how strong the Sun King was. For this purpose, it was enough to prove everything with facts.

"King Zheqilou, there is no need for you to participate in the battle with one soldier. Your soldiers can just go and clean up the battlefield."

"I would like to ask His Majesty the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty. How many people are you planning to send to participate in the war?"

After King Zheqilou asked, Li Yuanxing did not answer. Instead, he said to Pei Xi: "In the name of this king, I call the Ministry of War. King Harisi has 60,000 elephant soldiers, 200,000 elite cavalry, and a large number of infantry. Question.

Ministry of War, what kind of configuration can achieve a complete victory? What I want is a complete victory, and we must consider mountain warfare and water warfare!"

After hearing this, Pei Xi bowed and retreated.

King Zheqilou knew that the Tang Dynasty had a magical device for transmitting messages over long distances. He had never seen it, but he had heard of it. Each one was guarded by elite sergeants. In addition to protecting them, these sergeants also protected everyone.

They all have a self-destructive heart. Once there is danger, they will destroy themselves and the artifact at the same time.

Watching Pei Xi go out, King Zheqilou was looking forward to the military strategy plan coming out from the Tang Dynasty.

It seemed that the business needed to be stopped for a while, as Li Yuanxing was casually chatting about some local customs and other topics.

On the other side, Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, Hou Junji, Minister of the Ministry of War, had just returned to Chang'an. He went to patrol the western border. He had a feeling that the Tang Dynasty might be moving westward, so he visited the border towns in the west.

"Hou Shangshu, the telegram from Tianzhu. It is signed by His Highness the King of Qin." A subordinate sent the telegram here.

Hou Junji's first reaction after receiving the telegram was not how many troops could destroy King Harsha's hundreds of thousands of troops, but who would lead the troops this time. The trouble was not that there were no generals, but that these generals were already too idle.

In small battles, all the officers are deputy generals and captain-level officers. Not to mention the generals, even the generals are idle.

My fiefdom is on the right track, and the generals are not as good at business as the businessmen at home.

Knocking on his forehead, Hou Junji said softly: "Go and say hello to the Fire Guards, Flame Guards, and Thunder Guards. They may be sending out troops to fight against foreign enemies. Let them prepare a little, who to take, and how many to take.

Before I go, the Ministry of War still needs to think about it and ask the Holy One for instructions."

The adjutant received the order but did not leave.

Hou Junji's face sank: "Go quickly!"

"Shang Shu, I don't dare to go out until you have finished your orders. This is tantamount to openly saying that a war is about to begin. It will probably take half a day to cover the distance between these three guards. Among the generals, I am afraid that I will be beaten. I can't give it to the minister."

You are running errands."

This is not nonsense, Hou Junji himself had a severe headache.

"That's all, tell them that this minister's order of generals will ultimately be decided by the Holy One. This time for the battle,..." Hou Junji couldn't go on. He didn't know which guard to order first. In the end, there was really no other way. Hou Junji

He actually said: "I asked the minister to invite them to play mahjong, and each of them will get a hundred chips."

"That's your order!" The deputy general accepted the order happily.

Hou Junji, however, arranged his robes and ordered someone to go ahead and hand over the sign. He wanted to see Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, at the same time, people were also sent to invite Zhongshu Ling Li Jing, as well as Prime Minister Fang Du.

When the Ministry of War set up the mahjong table and dozens of generals were shouting curses, Fang Xuanling pressed the desk in Li Er's study: "Your Majesty, the problem in this battle is not the battle, nor the logistics.

, all nearby fiefdoms in foreign wars will unconditionally support the expedition. Of course, the enemy has nothing to fight this time."

Li Er naturally understands this.

So King Harsha, it doesn't matter if you shout that you are powerful, the Tang Dynasty dared to fight you ten years ago, but now the Tang Dynasty has no enemies in its sights.

Fang Xuanling continued: "Your Majesty, how to distribute the benefits, this may be the reason why Shangshu Hou dare not make the decision. Naturally, it is also the reason why His Highness the King of Qin called the Ministry of War."

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid Wulang doesn't want to participate in the profit distribution this time."

Li Erxin said that he must have the majority of the benefits.

But as for the rest of the benefits, who will be responsible for distributing them, how much will be given to the small states, how much will be given to each fiefdom, how much will be given to the noble families. After it is conquered, who will manage the land.

It's too far there. Unless flying boats are used to go back and forth, direct management by the Tang Dynasty is unrealistic.

But it must not be handed over to King Zheqilou. It is said that its land area is not smaller than that of the Tang Dynasty, and its population is nearly 20 million people. Such a foreign country will definitely be the enemy of the Tang Dynasty in the future.

While Li Er was thinking, Eunuch Gao came in holding a telegram.

"Your Majesty, His Highness the King of Qin has sent another telegram."

Li Yuanxing had lunch with King Zheqilou. After chatting for a while, he told him to assemble the army and prepare for war. Then he returned to his resting place and sent someone to send another telegram.

Li Er looked at the telegram. It was Li Yuanxing who described the situation in Tianzhu in detail.

Jiri can be beaten to death and then split into dozens of small states. But the problem arises at this time. King Zheqilou is too powerful and accounts for one-third of Tianzhu. How can it be safely divided?

.Or on the surface it is still one country, but in fact it creates some territories that are not under its control.

Killing is definitely the last resort.

Once this hole was opened, who among the foreign countries in the world would dare to seek refuge in the Tang Dynasty?

Coin control is only one way, and another way of double insurance is needed.

In Li Yuanxing's words, if the foreign countries did not fight among themselves, they would unite to fight against the Tang Dynasty. The extended meaning of this sentence can also be understood as, if the various fiefdoms of the aristocratic families did not fight among themselves, they would unite.

Fight against the Tang royal family.

If this question had been asked in the past, Li Er would have definitely asked Li Yuanxing what he meant.

At the moment, Li Yuanxing doesn't seem to want to worry about these anymore, and just puts forward some key points.

Li Er sighed softly: "Go and tell Tianying Pavilion, just tell me, Tianzhu must not have a unified country, so it has to be divided, and they will come up with an opinion on how to divide it. I

As I said in advance, the troops must be dispatched immediately, and the majesty of the Tang Dynasty cannot be weakened."

Eunuch Gao quickly bent down and obeyed Li Er's instructions.

At the end, Li Er said again: "Tell them again that they are all dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty. Don't keep arguing in Tianying Pavilion for a small profit like a few bags of rice."

Tianying Pavilion! There are no tables, chairs, glass cups, or any sharp objects here. Everything must have rounded corners. The entire Tianying Pavilion is covered with carpets, and drinking water is made from stainless steel cups.

The surrounding pillars were all covered with cotton, and even the doors were covered with thick leather.

Such soft bags are not very fireproof, so at least 500 water bottles were hung directly on the roof. Each water bottle can hold about two buckets of water, just to avoid the risk of a sudden fire here.

Tianyingge's record last year was that 1,400 people were injured, 17 were seriously injured, and two were disabled.

Li Er now gets a headache when he mentions Tianying Pavilion. There are quarrels here all day long, quarreling about state affairs, quarreling about royal affairs, and quarreling over the selfish interests of different forces.

Otherwise, how could there be a soft-covered conference hall?

Li Er didn't want to say that according to the Ministry of War report, the battle losses of all the regular armies of the Tang Dynasty during the whole year last year were only 1,200 wounded and nine seriously injured, with no one dead or disabled.

PS: Sorry, sorry. I was obsessed with writing a new book, and I lost track of time while discussing the new book with a friend. I’m really sorry.

Datang will be over in a few days, with the final battle and then the last two concluding stories.

The new book is also ready and will be uploaded soon.

Sorry sorry.
