Chapter 1512 News from the Western Region

Although Lantian County is no longer what it used to be, such a county still cannot catch the attention of a group of wealthy businessmen and aristocratic families.

It is also because of this that Li Feng completed the construction of a villa area in Lantian County, with the purpose of attracting people to come.

When all the shopping malls and residential areas are completed, I am afraid that Lantian County will steal the limelight from Chang'an City.

Time flies so fast, another half year has passed.

A series of telegrams were sent from the border to Chang'an. After receiving the telegram, Li Lizhi, who managed the Telegraph Hall, went directly to the Zichen Hall.

At this time, in the Zichen Palace, Li Er was discussing national policies with Fang Xuanling and other big shots.

"There is news from the coast that due to the typhoon, there have been many casualties among the people. My dear friends, how should we deal with this matter?" Li Er asked.

"Your Majesty," Fang Xuanling said, "Xia Futian, the governor of Mingzhou, has organized troops to start disaster relief."

Changsun Wuji said: "Coastal areas are affected by typhoons every year, causing flooding in some areas every year. This is a punishment from God. There is nothing we can do but do our best to provide disaster relief."

"Brother Auxiliary Machine, if Li Feng hears these words, he will definitely say that you are deceiving the public with your lies." Fang Xuanling said.

"If he says that I am deceiving the public with my lies, then let him find a way to solve the typhoon issue. If he can do it, then I will be willing to bear the infamy of my lies." Changsun Wuji said righteously.

Li Er nodded with satisfaction and said: "In that case, Auxiliary Machine, I will ask you to go to Mingzhou and other places on behalf of the imperial court to check the disaster situation, organize disaster relief matters, and go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to allocate 3 million yuan for disaster relief."

"Yes, I will definitely do a good job in this disaster relief work." Changsun Wuji said.

"Father, there is news from the border gate, there is news from the border gate." Li Lizhi broke into the Zichen Palace.

Li Lizhi's words immediately made everyone present stand up.

Li Er couldn't wait to say: "Quick, bring it to me to take a look."

"Yes." Li Lizhi walked up to Li Er and handed the telegram directly to Li Er.

Li Er saw what the telegram said: Countries in the Western Regions are at war.

"Haha... Okay, great. Hahaha..." Li Er laughed.

Fang Xuanling and others looked at Li Er curiously, and then looked at each other. His Majesty was so happy, could it be...

Fang Xuanling immediately asked: "Your Majesty, is there chaos in the Western Regions?"

Everyone was waiting for Li Er's answer. As long as there was chaos, the Tang Dynasty could send troops. The Tang Dynasty's musketeers and the Tang Dynasty's cavalry had been gearing up for a long time.

Li Er glanced at Fang Xuanling, then glanced at the others, and said in a deep voice: "The border officials have reported that the countries in the Western Region are already at war."

"Okay, great." Everyone said excitedly.

Li Er said: "Yes, it is indeed great. Come, call Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and other generals."

"Yes." Li Junxian responded.

"Wait a minute, call Li Feng here too." Li Er said again.

"yes."

After Li Junxian left, Li Er looked at Li Lizhi and said softly: "Li Zhi, go to the Telegraph Hall and tell the border officials so that they can always pay attention to the developments at the border gates."

"Yes, Father." Li Lizhi left the Zichen Palace happily.

Li Lizhi was very happy that she was in charge of the Telegraph Hall and could help Li Er, the court and Li Feng.

Li Er sat down and said: "Everyone, since the King of the Hundred Kingdoms left, the imperial court has been preparing soldiers and horses, so that one day the Tang Dynasty's cavalry can travel throughout the Western Regions.

Now the opportunity has come, the countries in the Western Region are at war, and as the great kingdom of China, Datang should send troops to resolve their war troubles."

"Your Majesty is merciful." Changsun Wuji said, "The people of the Western Regions will suffer from war again. I suggest that it is better to make the Western Regions a place under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty, and let the kings of the Western Regions come to the Tang Dynasty to enjoy their old age in peace."

Li Er smiled and said: "The auxiliary machine is a good idea, but we will wait to discuss this matter together after everyone arrives."

"Yes." Changsun Wuji responded.

Fang Xuanling and others looked at Li Er and Changsun Wuji, and couldn't help but said in their hearts: "Isn't this a plan that was planned in advance? There are no outsiders here, is it necessary to act in front of everyone?"

Not long after, Li Jing and a group of military generals arrived at Zichen Hall one after another.

Li Feng was the last one to arrive. He had nothing to do at the moment and was sunbathing at home.

It's not that he really has nothing to do, but that he has arranged things and is now waiting for news.

However, Li Feng was rarely lazy and was called to Zichen Palace by Li Junxian.

After arriving at the Zichen Hall, Li Feng saw so many people and immediately raised his hands to everyone and said, "Everyone is here. It seems that the imperial court has made another big move."

Li Er gave him a blank look and said, "Did you know that the countries in the Western Region are already fighting together?"

Li Feng nodded and said, "Li Junxian just told me that this is a good opportunity to send troops to the Western Regions."

"That's right." Li Er said, "You have been in the Western Regions for so long, tell me, what should we do next?"

Li Feng nodded and said: "Actually, when Tang Xuanzang went to Tianzhu to obtain Buddhist scriptures, I arranged for a caravan to follow him.

In addition to selling and buying goods along the way, the caravan also protected Tang Xuanzang. More importantly, they left people in various countries.

This group of people will help me lobby the ministers and generals of those countries. As long as the imperial court sends troops there, they can surrender.

We can capture this country without spending a single soldier."

Li Er nodded and said: "Then how can we be sure that they will surrender?"

Li Feng said: "As long as they are our own people, they will have a red ribbon tied on their heads. If they are not tied, they cannot surrender and they are enemies.

But I believe that as soon as the Tang army arrives, they will be willing to surrender."

Cheng Yaojin laughed and said: "Haha... The prince-in-law is right. As soon as the Tang Dynasty's army arrives, those small countries in the Western Regions will surrender immediately."

Li Jing said: "The biggest question now is which country should we deal with first?"

This is an important issue. Under normal circumstances, it should be distant friendship and close attack, but their goal is to occupy the entire Western Region, so no matter who they make friends with, no one will pay attention to them.

If you can't attack from far away or close to you, you can only attack from the nearest country.

However, there are many countries around Datang. Among them, Tubo has the largest territory and is not suitable for attacking first. Once attacked, the soldiers of Datang may be in trouble. There is no way, Tubo has a natural advantage in altitude sickness.

There are also countries such as Goguryeo and Xueyantuo. It is not that these countries cannot be defeated at once, but it may take a long time.

For Datang, the gains outweighed the losses.

What they want to do is to make a quick victory and then include the entire Western Region, and then deal with Tubo and other countries.

Or first eliminate Tubo and other countries, and then deal with other countries in the Western Region.
