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

Deep in the desert.

Jieli Khan looked at the royal court that had been burned by fire and turned into ruins, with burning anger flashing in his eyes.

He was too careless and looked down upon the Han people.

As a result, the royal court was empty and was taken over by Li Changqing.

After setting up camp, Jieli Khan issued orders in his tent and ordered people to rebuild the royal court.

After a while, the envoys sent out to negotiate with Tibet and use the road to advance westward came back.

"Khan, Tubo Songtsan promised us to use the road to move westward. Jieli

Khan was overjoyed and said,"The people of the Tang Dynasty would never have imagined that this Khan would borrow a passage from Tubo to march into Chang'an from Longxi!" Li Changqing destroyed my royal court, and I will make Chang'an turn into ashes!

The messenger added:"However, Tubo has two conditions."

Jieli Khan waved his hand and said with a nonchalant expression:"What are the conditions?"

The envoy replied:"First, we are allowed to use the passage with up to 200,000 troops." Second, they lent us the passage and took the huge risk of offending the Tang Dynasty. They required us to send 10,000 war horses, 30,000 slaves, and ten carts of gold, silver, and jewelry."

Hearing this, Jieli Khan's pupils shrank suddenly.

Tubo was also afraid that if the Turks did not attack the Tang Dynasty, they would directly point the spearhead at themselves with a feint. Therefore, it is understandable that a maximum of 200,000 troops can be allowed to pass through..

But what they asked for was too much.

Ten thousand war horses were enough to form an invincible cavalry of ten thousand people!

Thirty thousand slaves, this was a huge labor force!

The Turks were already barren, and ten carts of gold, silver, and jewels , this is not going to kill him!

Jieli Khan said nothing, sat astride the desk, and drank wine silently.

After a long time, the hatred for Li Changqing in his heart, and the infinite desire for revenge surged in his heart. , overwhelming everything.

He smashed the wine bowl, whipped out the scimitar from his waist, split the desk in half, and said with cold eyes:

"It's really abominable that Tubo took advantage of the situation and robbed them! After I capture Chang'an, I will return to the desert to recuperate and recuperate, and I will use a large number of troops against you, Tubo, in the spring of next year! What you ate today will definitely be repaid tenfold when you come to Japan!"

……

Youzhou, Tiance Mansion.

Li Changqing held a meeting in the council hall. All advisers and generals were present to discuss the construction of Youzhou and the expansion of the White Robe Army.

"The general moved to Monan, massacred all the nomadic tribes outside the desert, annihilated the Eighth Prince's army of 100,000 people, flattened the Turkic royal court, and killed Jieli Khan with no way to go to heaven or earth. Show off my white-robed army style and promote our greatness. Tang Tianwei. With a general stationed in Youzhou, the Turks no longer dared to show up a hundred miles outside the desert to herd horses. Border people can reclaim farmland with confidence"

"The soldiers and civilians in Youzhou praised the general's name. With the general's order, the policies we have formulated can be implemented smoothly."

"The people on the border were repeatedly plundered by Turks. Now that we have defeated the Turks, we should reduce the agricultural tax in Youzhou and let the White Robe Army and Tianjie Army reclaim wasteland."

"It's winter……"

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui considered all the post-war construction and development issues in Youzhou in detail and thoughtfully, which made Li Changqing very satisfied.

After the two men retreated, Yuchi Gong couldn't wait to step forward and said:"General, the white robe army has expanded its recruitment. On top of the 20,000 soldiers of our heavy armored guards, we will recruit another 20,000 soldiers!"

His voice was just right. After falling, Li Jing immediately spoke:"Jingde Lion opened his mouth! The White Robe Army selected and expanded its recruitment from the elite of the Tianjie Army. In the battle to defend the city, the Tianjie Army died in the battle, with only less than 21,685 people left. Seventy thousand. If you recruit 20,000 heavy-armored guards, where will you put our Modao Guards?"

Yuchi Gong glared at Li Jing and said,"The heavy-armored guards resisted the Turkic army of 300,000, and they have worked hard. When the recruitment is expanded, we should recruit another 20,000.!"

Li Jing also glared at Yuchi Gong:"In the battle at Yinshan, the Mo Dao Guard completely wiped out the 100,000-strong army of the Eighth Turkic Prince, and their performance was even more impressive!" Cheng Yaojin, the deputy general of the heavy-armored guard, shook his horse and said in a loud voice:"I don't care, so-and-so. The heavy armored guards want to recruit 20,000 more soldiers."

When Mo Daowei and the heavy armored guards were fighting for as many elite members of the Tianjie army as possible, Su Dingfang said calmly:

"You argue slowly, just leave 10,000 for a certain divine arrow guard."

Hearing this, Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, and Cheng Yaojin all turned around and glared at Su Dingfang, and the Divine Arrow Guard also wanted to intervene!

"Silence, silence."

Li Changqing patted the desk, and after everyone calmed down, he said:"The general has already made a decision in his mind regarding the expansion of the White Robe Army's recruitment."

"Of the 5,000 Dragon Cavalry Guards, there are still 2,440 left, and the remaining 2,060 are made up of elites from the Modao Guards, the Heavy Armor Guards, and the Divine Arrow Guards."

"There are 70,000 Tianjie troops, and the soldiers are divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. Among them, 10,000 of the best elites were all assigned to the Dragon Cavalry Guard. The medium number is 20,000, and the Modao Guards and Heavy Armor Guards are 10,000 each. The remaining 40,000 inferiors will all join Mo Dao Guard."

"The number of Shenjian Guards has been expanded to 2,000, and the personnel can be selected from elite Mo Dao Guards and Heavy Armor Guards."

"In addition, facing Youzhou, 50,000 new soldiers were recruited, and Li Jing was responsible for training them. After they were trained, they were added to the guards."

The Dragon Cavalry Guard will always be the sharpest spear in Li Changqing's hand. No matter what time, he will give priority to ensuring the strongest combat power of the Dragon Cavalry Guard. The requirements for the Divine Arrow Guard are extremely high. Soldiers who can join the Divine Arrow Guard, They are all the best among the best, all of them are good at shooting, and their individual combat ability is higher than that of the Dragon Cavalry Guards.

After Li Changqing's decision was conveyed, Yu Chigong and Cheng Yaojin sighed, Li Jing and Qin Qiong smiled happily, and Su Dingfang smiled happily. Very good.

The Tianjie Army is a garrison guarding the border, and the soldiers are all elite.

The expansion of troops from the Tianjie Army is far beyond what new recruits can match.

Since then, Luo Yi's Tianjie Army has banned the bugles, and all of them have been absorbed into the army. Li Changqing's White Robe Army.

The strength distribution of the Six Guards of the White Robe Army has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

The Dragon Cavalry Guard has added 10,000 troops, expanding its recruitment to 15,000.

The Heavy Armor Guard has added 10,000 troops, expanding its recruitment to 30,000..Mo

Dao Guard added 50,000 troops, expanding to 100,000 people.

Shenjian Guard added 2,000 troops, expanding to 6,000 people.

Logistics Guard added 2,000 troops, expanding to 3,000 people.

Shadow Guard remained unchanged. There are still one thousand people.

The entire White Robe Army has a total of 155,000 people!

Following the decree from Tiance Mansion, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui began to carry out drastic construction of Youzhou, and Li Jing also started to recruit 50,000 people. recruit

……

At the same time, the Turks in the depths of the desert began to make big moves after dormant for several days.

In the year 618 AD, it was the fourth day of November, late autumn had passed, and cold winter was coming.

At the time of the withering season of all things, the Turks sent 200,000 troops to take advantage of Tibet, from Longxi to the pass, and went straight to Chang'an.
