The word "side by side" king of the Tang Dynasty

Byzantine Empire, royal capital

"Your Majesty, I have convinced the Persian Empire, Rong Dynasty, Dashi Kingdom, Goguryeo and other four countries to agree to send troops to jointly conquer the Tang Dynasty."

In the palace, Yang Chao reported to Heracli. There was a look of exhaustion on his face, which looked a lot more vicissitudes of life. During this period of time, he traveled among various countries, racking his brains to bring the monarchs of the four countries together. They all persuaded them to agree to send troops to the Tang Dynasty.

Heraclius was very happy and said:"Okay! How many troops are they willing to send? Yang

Chao looked a little embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, he said:"Each of the four countries only agreed to send 200,000 troops, but they are willing to share the logistics and supplies of the army.""

"A bunch of profit-seeking guys!"

Heraclius snorted coldly. With the strength of those countries, of course they can provide more than 200,000 troops.

They knew that the war with the Tang Dynasty would be extremely tragic, so they all wanted to share the losses together, and no one was willing to take the responsibility. They were taken advantage of.

But fortunately, they were willing to bear the logistics of the army, which prevented Heraclius from completely going crazy, because Byzantium was going to send out 300,000 troops this time.

Don’t underestimate these 300,000 troops. These 300,000 troops are The most elite army of Byzantium is not comparable to the 500,000 Eastern Expeditionary Army.

"Forget it, the five countries had a million troops, which was enough to defeat the Tang Dynasty."

Heraclius comforted himself. Five countries dispatched millions of troops. Even a forceful attack would be enough to capture the Tang Dynasty. No country can withstand such a large number of troops.

What kind of six-company strong crossbows did the Tang Dynasty have? What can I do? It's still not enough in front of millions of troops.

Thinking of this, Heraclius turned his attention to Yang Chao and suddenly said:"This time the task of conquering the Tang Dynasty is left to you. You know the Tang Dynasty best. , so this time you will help command the army of my Byzantine Empire."

Yang Chao looked surprised, but after he saw Heraclius' serious gaze, he gradually became excited and agreed without hesitation:"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely capture the Tang Dynasty!""............

The Byzantine Empire was mobilizing the whole country, and countries such as Persia and Goguli were not idle either. Their war mobilization had already begun. After all, the crusade against the Tang Dynasty was a matter of great importance, and no one of them dared to underestimate it.

Two hundred thousand troops from various countries are ready to go. As long as the Byzantine Empire army joins them, they will immediately form a million-strong army to launch a general attack on the Tang Dynasty!

Tu Qiongdeng saw that at this moment, they no longer carried out secretly, and unabashedly exposed their desire to attack the Tang Dynasty.

The Five Kingdoms conquered the Tang Dynasty!

……

……

A few months later, Chang'an, Tai Chi Hall

"Your Majesty, Persia, Goguryeo, Rong Dynasty, Dashi Kingdom and other countries have already deployed troops on the border, with a strength of 800,000! We may attack at any time!"

Above the court, Li Jing reported to Li Changqing in a serious tone, with an unprecedented serious look on his face.

The 800,000 troops of the Four Kingdoms were very terrifying. You must know that the entire Tang Dynasty only had 600,000 troops, and among them 200,000 They were stationed at major border passes, and only 400,000 troops could really be mobilized.

After Li Jing finished speaking, all the ministers showed shock and anger, and they all cursed angrily.

"The Persian Empire has always had friendly relations with the Tang Dynasty, and it actually participated in the conquest of the Tang Dynasty! He is really not a son of man!"

"A group of foreign barbarians! How dare you offend me, the Heavenly Power of the Tang Dynasty!"

"His Majesty! I petition to go to the border and lead the army to kill the enemy!"

"I am willing to donate all my family property to support your majesty in recruiting a large number of troops to counterattack the enemy!"

……

In the main hall, both civil servants and generals were furious. Even the Minister of Rites rolled up his sleeves. He was the one who just said that he was going to the border to kill the enemy.

Amidst the noisy voices of the ministers, Li Changqing said calmly:"It's not just the four countries. Their armies have been reluctant to attack. They are probably waiting for the arrival of the Byzantine Empire's army. Without the participation of the Byzantine

Empire, how could they dare to tease me? The Tiger Beard of the Tang Dynasty?"

When the Byzantine Empire was mentioned, many ministers looked solemn. If such a country that was not weaker than the Tang Dynasty also participated in this war, the Tang Dynasty would be in an absolutely severe situation!

"If the Byzantine Empire is added to the mix, then the army that conquered the Tang Dynasty this time may have reached one million. The strength of the Tang Dynasty was really stretched."

Li Xiuning frowned and said, then looked at Li Changqing,"Why don't we issue recruitment documents and recruit soldiers from the private sector."

The people of the Tang Dynasty have always been fierce, and the army of the Tang Dynasty is invincible. As a result, everyone from the court ministers to the common people are passionate and have a strong sense of belonging to the Tang Dynasty. It is no exaggeration to say that if Li Changqing issued a conscription With the news, millions of troops can be gathered in an instant! Moreover, countless wealthy businessmen and wealthy families will spontaneously donate food and property to support the war.

But Li Changqing shook his head and said:"The army that was gathered in a hurry will not be able to survive even on the battlefield. It's just an innocent death. How can I just watch these passionate men of the Tang Dynasty die?"

Li Xiuning was speechless for a moment, because what Li Changqing said did make sense.

But when she saw that Li Changqing's expression was as usual and showed no signs of anxiety, she couldn't help but feel moved in her heart and asked:"Changqing, you have already anticipated this war and have taken measures to deal with it. Have you decided?"

Li Changqing nodded and admitted:"As early as January, I have received intelligence and made some speculations about the Five Kingdoms' attack on the Tang Dynasty. According to the Shadow Guard report, the kings of the four countries have been in contact with Byzantine envoys. I want to come there. Then they reached an agreement."

After Li Changqing said these words, he then looked at Li Jing and said,"General Li, how prepared are you for what I told you last time?"

"All are ready. Li

Jing replied respectfully

"Very good, then everything will go as planned. This time, all the armies of the five countries must be buried in our Tang Dynasty!"

A burst of murderous intent burst out in Li Changqing's eyes, which was frightening.

None of the ministers, including Li Xiuning, understood what they were talking about, but after listening to Li Changqing's words, they all felt a little bit bad for the army of the five nations..Who is the target of hunting?
