Chapter 35: Engaging and Power
Pei Min came and went in a hurry.
But there is no doubt that he left a deep impression on the Four Kings.
Especially the sentence "This did not annihilate them, I was tasteless."
The word "annihilation" means that Pei Min says the weight and status are completely different.
Even though they were far away in the Western Regions, they had heard of Pei Min's name.
Pei Min had never been ruthless in the invading enemy. Even if it was not completely annihilated, it would be almost completely annihilated.
The initial goal of the Four Kings is very low. As long as they can drive the thunder cavalry out of the Western Regions, they have never thought about whether they can be wiped out completely.
After all, the strength is there, and all the troops of the four countries are not as good as the slightest part of Tuqi Shi. Even if they are bullied, they can only grit their teeth and endure it.
Now that such a strong thigh is falling from the sky, think about the shame I have suffered before, and think about the miserable tragedy that made the thunder cavalry bully in the history of the country.
Bai Mohu, the king of Kucha, the most loyal to the Tang Dynasty, immediately said: "I am willing to use the whole country's troops to help Duke Pei defeat the enemy."
When King Kucha made this statement, Yanqi King Longzhen and Shule King Chenwei secretly hated that he had slowed down and hurriedly said, "We are willing to fight together."
This time, Yuchi Tiao, the king of Khotan, was in trouble. His husband Meng Lingcha's troops helped Suye City.
Because he cared about the reason why Yuchike had been before, he did not call him the Kingdom of Khotan.
This time, the cavalry invaded. Although the defeat of Meng Lingcha, the loss was controlled by Pei Min's transformation into a magical military response. The country of Khotan had not participated in the previous battle and its strength was preserved.
Kucha, Yanqi, and Shule, who have lost their troops and lost their generals, have shown their attitude. If he doesn't stand up, wouldn't it mean that his unfair intentions?
With no choice, Yuchi Tiao gritted his teeth and said, "Although the country of Khotan is far away, he is not willing to fall behind. He is willing to serve as the front line and help the Duke defeat the enemy."
"good!"
Pei Min would not refuse the kindness of the four kings. He came to Kucha specifically for the purpose of subduing them and showing both kindness and power.
The situation in the Western Regions was complicated. It was not without reason that the four countries were destroyed when Emperor Taizong Li Shimin and Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi had absolute power.
In fact, it is just like the situation in the Ming Dynasty and Annan in history.
Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty intended to occupy Annan forever, but in the end he pulled the Ming Dynasty into the quagmire and led troops to conquer many times, but they were all in vain. Jiaozhi also became a heavy burden for the Ming Dynasty and rebelled continuously.
Finally, he broke away from the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
In this territory where the Hu people are completely dominated by the Hu people, it is not easy to ensure peace if the barbarians do not use barbarians to control barbarians.
Unless the center of gravity is shifted, the Western Regions are changed to center, and the development is focused.
But this is impossible. It is obvious that the rich territory of China does not develop and expand, but instead develop the Western Regions?
Therefore, even if Pei Min had long since felt that he wanted to officially take over the Western Regions and become the real territory of the Tang Dynasty, rather than this situation of co-governance, he still needed to take action step by step.
Especially now that he has not taken over the military and political affairs of Anxi, he needs to get the support of these local snakes.
"You all have this intention, so you can order all your troops and go to the funeral of Sulu together!"
The kings of Kucha, Yanqi, Shule and Khotan couldn't help but report this.
This famous general of the Tian Dynasty showed his gentleness towards his own people and his ruthlessness towards his enemies when he first met.
This also made King Khotan feel nervous and kept beating.
The three kings of Yanqi, Shule and Khotan all went to dispatch troops.
Pei Min directly led the King of Kucha, along with the three governors of Feng Changqing, Zhang Xiaosong, Cui Xiyi and the generals of Liangzhou to set up Yecheng.
During the march, Pei Min, Feng Changqing, Zhang Xiaosong and Cui Xiyi marched while discussing the situation in Anxi and the current war.
Cui Xiyi first entered Anxi and divided his troops to guard the four towns. He knew the best of the overall situation. He first said: "Shippei made proper arrangements and stabilized the overall situation in Anxi at the first time. Except for the fallen Suye City, the remaining four towns were not harmed. Not only that, Yanqi and Shule City all achieved great results. Now, he was frightened by Governor Zhang and retracted Suye City, completely exposing his intentions. This time, Sulu Khan's invasion was definitely planned, and it was to covet the Suye City of our dynasty. Whether the four towns could be robbed was a secondary matter."
Since Pei Min proposed the joint defense policy, Zhang Xiaosong, Feng Changqing and Cui Xiyi and the three governors communicated with each other, and never interrupted, and they were one with each other.
This time they played together, they made a perfect cooperation based on their characteristics.
Cui Xiyi reads military books and military strategies. He understands the principles and strategies of the war. When he defends, he will not miss it.
Feng Chang was a little serious and skilled in marching and formation, and used weak forces to surround the superior forces, and wiped out all the bandits.
Although Zhang Xiaosong was a literati, he was best at using strange picking and leaking, and was particularly bold in using troops.
When he arrived in Xizhou, he decisively judged through the news from Cui Xiyi and Feng Changqing that the purpose of the thunder cavalry was not to rob, but to seize the city of Sailye.
Zhang Xiaosong made a quick decision and directly acted as if he was attacking Shuyecheng.
He directly forced Sulu, who was in a dilemma under Kucha City, and saved the military danger of the four towns.
Pei Min nodded when he heard the performance of the three generals and smiled: "Su Lu, I still want to shake the tree by shaking the candles. Before I took action, you have done everything you should do. Then I have only one thing to do..."
He didn't say it, but the three governors all knew Pei Min's temperament and he would never let go of the invading enemy.
Everything is based on annihilation and eliminate the opponent's vitality.
Feng Changqing followed Pei Min for many years, knew everything about Pei Min, and showed an expression of watching the show.
Zhang Xiaosong and Cui Xiyi looked excited. They had heard Pei Min's reputation for a long time and had worked under him for many years, but it was the first time they really fought side by side with him.
Just from the deployment of troops, they have already felt the extraordinary overall situation of their immediate superiors. They are convinced and are looking forward to seeing the first general in the Tang Dynasty and being invincible to the World Health Huo, how can they destroy the domineering that shaking the Western Regions?
Zhang Xiaosong was a little anxious and said impatiently: "Don't the Duke of the State has a clever plan to defeat the enemy?"
Pei Min smiled and said, "Why do you need a clever plan for the showdown between the big tree and the mayfly? My clever plan is Sulu stretched out his head, hushed it at his head, and then cut off his head, which is simple and easy."
Zhang Xiaosong and Cui Xiyi were stunned when they heard this.
Feng Changqing was used to it. His boss was best at layout. No one knew what he planned until the result came out.
It's useless to ask, just wait and see.
Pei Min marched all the way, and at this moment his commander of the three armies naturally took over the command of the troops.
We rushed westward all the way, camped in the place where the best is good, and approached the city of Thunderbolt with no chance to take advantage of it.
However, this solid basic skill has made the governor Feng, Zhang and Cui San feel ashamed of themselves.
