Impeachment will make me stronger, and I will be invincible on the road to death.

Chapter 111 The addition of Dashi

"Order our Da Yuezhi troops to begin stationing in Hanzhou immediately to prevent Datang from sneak attacks."

"According to the order!"

"In addition, summon the leaders of each tribe to meet. I want to listen to their suggestions."

"Your Majesty! We cannot participate in the war between Tang Dynasty and Tibet! Otherwise, once we are involved, we will not be able to escape from it!"

"Yes! The Tang Dynasty is so powerful! And it also has powerful craftsmen and smelting technology. Once we offend the Tang Dynasty, even if our Da Yueshi can resist the invasion of the Tang army, I am afraid we will not last long and will perish! We absolutely cannot take risks !”

All the ministers in the main hall advised Ashina to be careful.

They all disagreed with Ashina's intervention in the battle between Tang Dynasty and Tubo, and they were even unwilling to participate in it.

After all, the Tang Dynasty was too powerful.

The Tang Dynasty had an army of one million people, but the Yuezhi only had more than [-] people at most, so they were completely vulnerable!
If you get involved in this battle rashly at this time, you may get burned.

Ashina Duxibei frowned when he heard the objections from the ministers.

"Your Majesty! Hanzhou is the gateway to the Tang Dynasty. If Tubo really captures Hanzhou, we will never have a chance to make a comeback!"

There were officials in the main hall admonishing.

The Dayuezhi Dynasty was once a vassal state of Tubo. The power of Tubo made the Dayuezhi royal family very awe-inspiring.

The Da Yuezhi royal family does not want to see the Da Yuezhi's country be annexed by the Tubo people!

Moreover, over the years, there have been many Han people in Hanzhou City, and the people in Hanzhou are all from the Dayue clan.If the Tubo people took control of Hanzhou, they would inevitably encounter a mob rebellion.

"Dear dear friends! I understand your concerns! But you must remember that we are Da Yuezhi people, not Han people. The Han people in Da Yuezhi will only become our slaves!"

"So I decided to support Tubo!"

Ashina was determined, and immediately ordered Gong Kanmi to lead [-] elite troops to Seoul to support the Tibetan kingdom.

By the time Gong Kanmi arrived, the Tubo Kingdom had already started a war with the Tang army outside Seoul. The scene was bloody, like a sea of ​​blood hell.

"Kill! Attack Seoul with the Tubo Kingdom."

Without saying a word, Gong Kanmi pulled out the long knife from his waist and rushed forward.

As soon as he moved, the thirty thousand elites behind him roared out and headed towards Seoul.

On the wall of Seoul, guard Wang Yangming looked at the huge torrent of people under the wall with a solemn expression.

"Come here, it's eight hundred miles away. Send this letter to Chang'an. You must hurry!"

"The final general will not disgrace his life!"

The messenger left, leaving behind all the Tang soldiers who tied their lives to Seoul.

In Seoul, an extremely difficult siege began.

Tubo troops poured into Seoul and fought desperately with the Tang army!

The same goes for the army of the Dashi Dynasty. They wanted to capture Seoul at the expense of their own lives.

The Tang army was actually at a disadvantage for a while, and was gradually suppressed.

"Report~~!"

At this moment, the scout suddenly ran over.

"What's the matter?" Wang Yangming asked.

The scout gasped and said: "Report to your lord, there are still reinforcements from the army outside the city."

Hearing this desperate statement, Wang Yangming's face showed neither sadness nor joy: "Change the two shifts, make sure there are people on the city wall at all times, demolish the houses in the city, and put all the lightly-dressed men on the wall to defend me from the aliens. Reinforcements are coming soon." , we must keep it."

At this time, Lan Yan had arrived outside Chang'an City with Wang Yangming's souvenir.Zheng Zheng's eyes were bloodshot after three days of running around without sleep, but he didn't dare to sleep. He was afraid that if he fell asleep, hundreds or even thousands more people would die in Seoul because of his sleep.

"Report!"

"Seoul! Eight hundred miles urgent!"

Lan Yan's voice came to the imperial city, Wu Zetian lit the lamp and changed her clothes. She shot Fang Xuanling at the left servant and Du Ruhui at the right servant. Hou Junji, the Minister of War, rushed to the imperial study room late at night.

"My dear friends, Seoul has been attacked by the Tubo Kingdom. Is there anything you can do?"

Wu Zetian said in a deep voice.

Fang Xuanling frowned and said, "Your Majesty, Hanzhou is an important border town. The terrain is flat and suitable for cavalry raids."

"Moreover, Hanzhou's granary reserves are abundant, enough to feed hundreds of thousands of troops for half a year. However, our army is far away from Hanzhou, and it will take a lot of time to rush to rescue! If the Tibetans delay, we may not be able to rescue Hanzhou in time! "

Wu Zetian's eyebrows were full of sorrow, and he sighed: "I understand too! It's just that Hanzhou is the throat of the Tang Dynasty, and there is no room for failure."

The tone is full of regret!

It's not like he didn't think about sending reinforcements.

It's just that Hanzhou is too far away, and even if reinforcements are sent, it will be too late.What's more, Wu Zetian was worried that the defender of Hanzhou would turn against him and defect to Tibet.

"Your Majesty, I think that since we cannot send reinforcements, we might as well retreat first." Du Ruhui on the side suggested.

When Wu Zetian heard this, she immediately shook her head and said, "No!"

Fang Xuanling looked at the monarchs and ministers in the room and directly suggested: "Your Majesty, Seoul cannot be lost!"

"Okay, order your troops to go out, Chai Shao will be your general."

Wu Zetian made a decision immediately.

"According to the order!"

"Your Majesty, all the elites of the Tang Dynasty are gathered here. If we mobilize troops now, our camp will be empty! If Tibet takes advantage of the situation, there will be a disaster. Wei Chen suggested that we mobilize troops from the south to the north to assist the Han Dynasty. state!"

Du Ruhui said.

"Master Du is right. The situation in Hanzhou is now critical and it is no longer appropriate to stay in Hanzhou." Fang Xuanling continued.

Wu Zetian frowned.

The Tang Dynasty had many soldiers and horses in the Western Regions, but almost all of the Tang Dynasty's elites were here.If the army is transferred to Hanzhou, the defense line in the Western Region will inevitably be empty.

When the enemy takes advantage of the situation, Datang will be in danger.

"Your Majesty, I think Lord Du is right!" Hou Junji stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, I think Hanzhou cannot be abandoned!" Han Zhongyan also stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, Hanzhou is not just an important border town. If Hanzhou falls and Tang Dynasty is attacked from both sides, Tibet and Tibet will break through Chang'an City at any time. Your Majesty, please think twice!" Pei Ju said.

Pei Ju, Hou Junji, and Han Zhongyan jointly prevented Wu Zetian from sending troops to rescue Hanzhou.

Although they did not directly explain their reasons, their attitude was clear: Hanzhou could not be abandoned.

"Okay! Pass the order and the army will march to Hanzhou!"

At this time, Yang Yanzhang also received the news and seemed a little surprised. He did not expect that Lun Qinling could collude with the Dashi Dynasty, and the two sides attacked Seoul together.

In this case, it's time to make them truly afraid for once.

Thinking of this, Yang Yanzhang quickly summoned the five thousand elite soldiers he had recently trained, and then asked them to put on Tubo costumes and blend in with the Tubo.

In addition, he left quietly and lurked near the Tubo royal court.
