"If nothing else happens, the Tang Navy fleet may have already been here!"
Ji Xiancheng was helpless and glared at Wang Xuance, a big talker. Jiexian almost explained, this guy hasn't reacted yet?
Looking at Master Jiexian who breathed a sigh of relief, he said, "I wonder if what I said is right?"
Wang Xuance looked at Ji Xian in disbelief, and then at Master Jiexian who nodded slowly. He was suddenly stunned, and then said stupidly: "How is it possible? How could the Tang Dynasty Navy fleet come here?"
After saying that, he regretted it. Seeing Ji Xianze's eyes that despised him, he could only laugh and said: "What about that? Hahaha.
.
just kidding! "
He used this to threaten Moro just now, but now he doesn't believe it himself?
What a fucking talent!
Ji Xiancheng couldn't care about anything else at this time and asked directly: "When did this happen? Why do we have no news at all?"
Wang Xuance also wondered: "Yes, if the Tang Dynasty Navy really comes here, there will be no news? Unless..."
The two looked at each other and suddenly looked at Jiexian.
Jiexian clasped his hands together and said: "Yes, the news was blocked by Moro. Some time ago, the Tang Dynasty fleet arrived. This man was extremely arrogant. Not only did he not know awe, but he also provoked the Heavenly Soldiers of the Tang Dynasty without permission. In the end, all his ships were destroyed by the Navy of the Tang Dynasty. Master, he suffered heavy losses, even he almost died."
"It's just a pity that he escaped!"
"After he came back, he was worried that if the news leaked, his prestige would plummet, so he had people block the news. But how can such a big thing be said to be blocked by blockade?"
"So, news came soon after. But due to Moro's intimidation, no one dared to publicize it!"
Wang Xuance looked back at Ji Xiancheng blankly, and said tremblingly: "Xiancheng, tell me... can we catch a smooth sailing when we get home?"
Jiexian saw his appearance and silently prayed to Buddha.
Ji Xiancheng rolled his eyes, patted his face, and said: "You kid, if you want to be lazy, just say so, and you still want to ride along? If you can't complete the task, or return without success, I don't think you have the face to let the navy officers take you with you." You go back?"
"You need some face!"
"fart!"
Wang Xuance's face turned red with anger, and he jumped to his feet and said, "How could I not complete the task? If you hadn't been procrastinating along the way, we would have ended up here long ago. Do you still have the nerve to criticize me?"
"Watch if I go back and complain to the teacher!"
.................................................
Okay, this hasn't happened yet, the two of them are about to start fighting. Jie Xianlian had no choice but to step forward to hold the two of them, and said with a wry smile: "Why do you two noble envoys tease the old monk like this? If you have conditions, you can negotiate anything. As long as you can kill Moro, you can talk about anything... ....."
The two people who were arguing happily stopped arguing immediately, looked at each other, and returned to their seats gracefully as if nothing had happened before. The Chai brothers and Master Ziguang on the side were stunned.
At this time, even a fool knew that these two people did it on purpose, but they didn't expect that the two of them were so tacit and... shameless!
"First of all, I need to confirm the news, and I also ask Master Yao to cooperate on this. Otherwise, if a joke is made, everyone's faces will look bad."
"Secondly, during the period before we find the Datang Navy, you must ensure our safety. If we have an accident or die, let alone justice for you, we will be able to withstand the pressure of our Datang." Anger, that’s two things.”
After listening to Wang Xuance's words, Jiexian said without even thinking: "Don't worry, both of you, I will risk my life to keep you safe during this period. As the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, who will? As long as I can solve the problem of Mojie Kingdom, , even if I wait for them all to die, I won’t hesitate!”
"good!"
Wang Xuance clapped his hands and praised loudly: "Master is indeed extraordinary. No wonder Master Xuanzang said that you have great wisdom. When I see you today, you are indeed extraordinary."
"When you are constantly being disturbed, you must have the courage and determination to do things without breaking the boat. If you had hesitated just now, I would have turned around and left."
"We will not put our lives and wealth on a timid person!"
Hearing this, Jiexian didn't mean to blame the other party for testing. Everyone was smart and knew what to do...
"so!"
Now that the decision has been made, there is no reason to waste any time. The teacher said that once you make a decision, don't hesitate. Even if it is wrong, you will do your best to do it. Because no one knows what the outcome will be until the last moment.
"Master, without further ado, you should immediately select a few people who are familiar with seaside affairs. Let them lead our people to the seaside to search for traces of the Tang Navy. I understand them. Since they are already here, they must not be here just to look around. There must be other things you need to do, so their time here will not be too short."
"The only way is to find the Tang Navy as soon as possible. With them here, I can guarantee your safety!"
Jiexian was shocked when he heard this. Looking at the domineering Wang Xuance, he suddenly understood why Moro Amo was afraid of the Tang Navy. A messenger can have such courage, either he is bluffing, or he has absolute confidence in the Tang Dynasty Navy.
"good!"
He turned to look at Shizi Guang and said: "You have been spreading Buddhism at the seaside and offshore for many years, and you know the coastal situation best. This time you will lead the Tang Dynasty envoy to find the Tang Navy fleet."
"Master Ziguang, this is the last chance for my Buddhist family. I hope you will not let me down!"
Shi Ziguang's eyes were red and he clasped his hands and said, "Don't worry, World Honored One, Shi Ziguang will find the heavenly soldiers from the Tang Dynasty even if he dies!"
"Okay, okay!"
"Master, I believe you will do it!"
After the discussion here, Wang Xuance also said to the Chai brothers: "Zhewei, Lingwu!"
"I'm waiting!"
"You should immediately follow your master, Master Ziguang, to the beach to find me, the Tang Navy. Remember, if you release the falcon immediately after going to sea, if nothing else happens, the teacher will definitely leave the falcon in the navy. With the sensitivity of the falcon, As long as they are within a hundred miles, they will definitely sense something. If you look for it this way, you will see more."
"Also, we must ensure your safety. The five hundred soldiers who stayed in Niboluo will be transferred back immediately. Whenever you encounter danger, don't hesitate at all!"
The Chai brothers were overjoyed when they heard this and hurriedly promised: "We will guarantee to complete the task!"
After Wang Xuance finished speaking, he looked at Master Jiexian and said, "Then don't waste time. We will set off immediately in an hour. Does Master have any other arrangements?"
Jiexian said with admiration: "Determination, speed, fearlessness, courage, wisdom. Now the old monk really wants to go to Chang'an to meet your teacher. What kind of person can teach a disciple like you?"
Wang Xuance said proudly: "Isn't it easy for Master to go there? As long as the matter here is solved, we can reach Chang'an in a few months by taking the warship of our Datang Navy fleet."
"Okay, let's make an agreement. When this matter is over, the old monk will go to Chang'an!"
Several people looked at each other and burst out laughing.......
Chang'an, Wuying Pavilion!
After solving the teaching problems at the Army Academy, he returned here again. Continue with the complicated affairs of every day.
Not surprisingly, the emperor finally agreed to teach the art of war in the academy. But there are conditions, that is, there is only one quota every year. Others can only learn some tactics of arranging troops and adapting to the situation.
He was well prepared for this, as things often didn't happen overnight. With this gap, more places will definitely be available next time. As time goes by, this condition will probably become useless.
On this day, while he was meditating on the paperwork for the replacement of soldiers in the frontier army, several hurried footsteps came from outside the door. I saw Li Shimin walking in with Chen Shou, Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji and others!
"His Majesty....."
Without waiting for Ji Song to salute, Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "Why do I have to salute when things are like this? I have something to discuss with you, but I miss your legs... so I came here by myself."
After saying that, he strode to everyone and sat down. He handed out two memoranda to Ji Song and said, "Read it first and then talk!"
Ji Song was stunned. He saw at a glance that these belonged to Guo Xiaoke and Su Lie? Something happened in the Western Region?
Thinking of this, he didn't care much and quickly opened it and started reading. At first, he didn't care much about it, but when he saw that the Great Ogres were fighting everywhere and expanding to the east, and that the Tang Dynasty had defeated the Great Ogres, it was widely spread, and there was even talk of the rebellion against Yingtian, he frowned!
After reading it several times in a row, I finally closed the memorial!
"Your Majesty, what do you think of this matter?"
"How do you see it? How else can you see it? This is someone fanning the wind from behind. However, the ability of this fan to ignite fire is really the best, and it actually fanned the food."
boom!
"What do they want to do? The snipe and the clam are fighting, and the fisherman will benefit? Are they not afraid of the chicken flying over the egg, and the oriole behind?"
Things have become very clear. Someone is pushing it from behind. Not only did they plot against Datang and Dashi, but they also wanted to provoke a war between the two countries and profit from the chaos!
"But who? What good will it do him?"
"This big food is the same. He is simply brainless. He starts a war when someone slaps him. I think the caliph is a fool!"
Cheng Yaojin didn't care.
"Shut up!"
Li Shimin angrily threw the memorial at this guy. Others have no brains? Then you have a brain? Are you fucking scolding the caliph for bringing me in?
Ji Song helplessly shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. It's not difficult to guess who this person is. Based on the idea that whoever benefits is the person behind the scenes, this person must be around Datang and Dashi."
"Either they are forces oppressed by the Great Eclipse, or they are people suppressed by the Tang Dynasty."
"Western Turks? Stone Kingdom? Tochara? Or Big and Little Bolu?"
Ji Song looked thoughtful. These people are all possible, but who are they? Or are they all?
"them?"
Li Ji frowned and said: "Although it is possible for them, they are not strong enough. Even if they want to draw chestnuts from the fire, they have no ability. Unless..."
"Unless he wants to provoke an all-out war between the two countries!"
Li Shimin and Li Ji said at the same time. They looked at each other and saw the horror in each other's eyes!
"No, we are missing one person!"
"Or a powerful group!"
Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, and Li Shimin were stunned and said at the same time: "Who?"
"Western countries!"
"What?"
Cheng Yaojin looked at Ji Song blankly, as if asking what does this have to do with the Western countries?
Li Ji was also stunned. He had never thought about it in this direction. But then his eyes lit up and he said, "Are you saying that while Dashi was fighting against the Tang Dynasty, he was also attacking Western countries?"
Ji Song nodded and said, "Yes, according to the reports from the spies who infiltrated the western part of the mainland. Not only was Dashi expanding eastward, but it was also attacking the western countries. Fifteen years ago, around the eighth year of Zhenguan, they went through ten The Persian Empire, which was at its peak for many years, was destroyed. Its last emperor was killed and the country was destroyed!"
"This is just one of them. According to the information they have received, they are about to take action against the Byzantine Empire."
When Ji Song finished speaking, everyone was still in the shock of what he just said: His emperor died and his country was destroyed.
People in Persia knew that as Western classics continued to be translated, they also learned that this powerful empire that had flourished for more than four hundred years was actually destroyed under their noses?
horrible!
Now they finally realize how domineering and terrifying the cannibal is. There is also the crazy desire for expansion, which was established at about the same time as the Tang Dynasty, but it has been expanding continuously from the beginning. Compared with the Tang Dynasty, it is simply a militancy!
"Then how do they maintain their logistics? I don't believe they can keep fighting?"
Li Ji lost his composure and said. Everyone knows that fighting is about logistics. Thinking about what we saw before, how did Datang survive? In recent years, with the promotion of high-yielding crops, things have gradually improved.
But how did Big Eater maintain logistical supplies while continuing to expand? Could it be that they can't produce food?
After hearing Li Ji's words, Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin both looked at Ji Song.
"They don't care about the land. When the unified country, the Arab Empire, was formed, they used the slogan of "spreading Christianity" to invade all parties. From the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, this country with religion as its bond, under the eagle flag, , the Arab nomads in the desert began their campaign to conquer the world.”
"You can think of them as the Turkic empire back then, so you might understand. But unlike the Turks, they were bound by religion and were extremely united under the leadership of Muhammad and the subsequent caliphs."
"The land they conquer will be distributed to the lower class civilians. As long as they believe in Allah, everything else is not a problem. In this way, after many slaves and poor people own the land, in order not to be taken back by slave owners or nobles, these newly conquered people , became a pawn of the great cannibal, willing to die for the Caliph..."
Li Ji looked pale. He really couldn't imagine what kind of explosive power these people would unleash under the temptation of the land. They all came out of the chaotic times of the late Sui Dynasty, and they knew very well what the people below needed.
It is precisely from this aspect that the cannibals have firmly grasped the hearts and minds of the people at the bottom. Coupled with the organic combination of nomadic and agricultural civilizations, the logistics will also be diversified.
They also continue to kill high-level officials and nobles from various countries and obtain a large amount of wealth and materials. This may be the driving force for their continuous expansion!
Fight to feed war!
I don't know why, but this tactic appeared in their minds and should only be used as a last resort.
But driven by the cannibals, this method has become an effective tactic for them. At least it seems to be correct now, as for the future...
That depends on the resilience of the cannibals and their ability to control the ever-expanding territory......
