Chapter 277 The Role of Literati

Cheng Chumo and Changsun Chong were also convinced. They had long heard that Lord Zeng was very powerful, and now they have seen how powerful he is. In the eyes of these second-generation military generals, civil servants are of little use and they want to open up new territories.

If so, we have to rely on generals like us to lead the army. You civil servants will make random calculations in the court, and in the end, the comprehensive national strength of the Tang Dynasty will be reduced for no reason.

But after seeing Mr. Zeng’s performance today, the two men looked at each other. Our views should change in the future. Although we are needed to open up new territories, the plans of these civil servants are also very important. At least what we just said

I didn't expect that I could suppress General Huyan and make him suffer the consequences of being mute.

The meal ended unhappily. General Huyan promised to go back and withdraw his troops, and left before finishing the leg of lamb. Before leaving, he looked at the artillerymen not far away, and he wished he could pull out his knife.

He killed all these people, but in the end his reason overcame his hatred. If these people were killed, he might get more ballistae, and the pressure on the border area might be even greater.

"According to your estimate, how many of us can their forty ballistae kill?"

On the way back, General Huyan asked his staff.

"Back to the general, if we face the enemy on the battlefield, we will need at least two to three thousand casualties to rush over. If we use serial crossbows to assist, then the casualties will probably double or triple. If they attack

If we carry out a sneak attack, especially at night, we may disrupt the camp at night, and not many people may be killed, but more people will be trampled to death."

Just now when Mr. Zeng wanted the Tibetan army to retreat, this staff member nodded to General Huyan. He also analyzed the advanced weapons on the scene. It is good for us to stay far away. There is no use guarding near the border.

, not to mention that the Tang army will not come to the border.

"Our people on the Tuyuhun grassland reported before that Tuyuhun's army suffered losses from such crossbows, but the number was not very large. Do you think the Tang Dynasty only had such a small amount?"

General Huyan had a fluke in his heart. If Datang only had this little power, it would not have much impact on them. At worst, we could just throw out 10,000 troops and let them blow up as hard as they could. You can kill all these people.

After the explosion, your trump card will be gone.

"It's hard to say this. I have been fortunate enough to visit the territory of the Tang Dynasty. The people there are very smart and have a rich variety of materials. They are much better than those in our country. Since they can already make such things, why?

How about just building a few dozen?"

The staff's words completely made the general lose his temper. It makes sense when you think about it. There are so many supplies in the country, why don't they make more?

"General, what are you looking at?"

When everyone was about to move forward, who knew that General Huyan stopped his horse and turned back to look at the border river. No one knew what the general was thinking.

After a long time, the general turned around and urged his horse forward. The general just thought of something. He originally thought that this was the beginning of the Tubo Kingdom's occupation of the Central Plains, but now the situation has changed. The general's heart

There is even a premonition that perhaps this is the farthest line we have traveled in Tubo. It may be impossible to cross this line in the future.

Of course, the General's words can only be said in his heart, never out loud. If he were to say it out loud, people at the top and bottom might be even more frightened. When the artillery was fired in the morning, the ground was turned upside down.

, many soldiers in the military camp can see clearly, maybe they don’t want to fight with such an army!

Watching General Huyan leave, Mi Du returned to his tent, feeling that his brain was about to burst.

Since he separated from Li Xiang that day, he believed that everything he did was right, and he also had some thoughts of his own, that is, after getting rid of the rule of the Tang Dynasty, Tuyuhun would still be able to gain a foothold on the grassland, but it was a pity.

No matter how clever he is, Li Xiang will eventually get in front of him, and he will not give you a chance to escape from the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty.

Take Mr. Zeng as an example. You just paid for the garrison expenses, and after dinner you have to set up inns on the grassland. In such a big place, you actually want to set up fifty-two inns, and you also want us.

Tuyuhun paid half of the money. After the money is paid, all the personnel and operations will be yours. Although we can use them, we do not have any autonomy. This bullying method makes Midu Khan tremble all over.

But now there is no one who sells regret medicine, and Midu Khan’s reputation on the grassland is not good. He was scolded as a traitor who plotted to usurp the throne. Of course, they were not wrong. That’s what you did. If you hadn’t taken your predecessor

If Khan were killed, how would you be able to reach your current position?

Everything now is completely different from what he originally thought. He felt that he had entered a dead end. In the next period of time, he could only continue to sit on Li Xiang's chariot. As for the movement of this chariot,

Which direction to take, and what is the fate of Tuyuhun in the middle? Midu Khan does not have the slightest decision-making power, he is just an executor.

Two days later.

Except for the one hundred and fifty guards around Mr. Zeng, everyone else has to return to Chang'an. These people were also lent by Li Xiang. It is impossible for them to stay here. The guards in the border areas still have to be dispatched by the court.

, it is impossible for Li Xiang to let his people stay here.

Mr. Zeng watched with envy as Chang Sun Chong took away these thousand people. If he could keep these thousand people for himself, the imperial army would hardly have to come over, especially the most advanced ballistae.

This kind of weapon is many times more advanced than today, so it is impossible for Li Xiang to let them flow out wantonly. Except for the use of people in the system, Li Xiang will not leave it to any army. Although the imperial city's

Some were also placed on the city wall, but the control of gunpowder was extremely strict. Even if Li Shimin wanted to find someone to imitate the gunpowder, it would be impossible for him to make it.

Li Xiang has long understood all the technical barriers. On the surface, he looks very generous, but in fact, everything has been taken care of. No one should try to take advantage of it. We will take all the advantages. For example, it is about to start

The Salt War…
