Old Zheng has already led his army in person. There are 10,000 coalition troops in Khotan and Gumo. Including the horse thieves, he has more than 10,000 troops. Tang Ning does not need to worry about a battle of this level.
The battlefield is Lao Zheng's home field. Dayue's crusade army has 350,000 people. Maybe it needs to be taken seriously. It's only 10,000 people. He only needs to wait here for his good news.
The new city of Wutanzi is already under construction. When it is completed, it will be able to accommodate at least 10,000 people.
By then, a magnificent palace will be built in the center of the new city. Although it is extremely shabby compared with Chen Guo's palace, it will be ten times and a hundred times better than the earthen house we live in now.
Tang Ning heard Bahar say that the Western Region is not only full of bitter cold and scorching heat, but there are also beautiful oases here, and the scenery is not inferior to any other place.
He turned to look at Tang Yaoyao who was eating grapes and asked: "Actually, the Western Region is not bad. If you get tired of living in Guizhou in the future, you can stay here for a while."
Tang Yaoyao stuffed a grape into his mouth, rolled her eyes at him, and asked, "Are you really planning to become emperor here?"
Tangning looked at the clear sky and said, "I just realized now that the feeling of being an emperor is actually not bad..."
Tang Yaoyao snorted softly and asked: "Dear Your Majesty, how big a harem do you plan to build here?"
Tangning thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "Forget it, being an emperor is very tiring. You have to deal with political affairs, improve the national economy and people's livelihood, and worry about foreign invasion. I would rather live in the mountains with you..."
These are Tang Ning's sincere words. If it weren't for going to Xiaowan to pick up his mother and cousin, he would not be willing to be the leader of the Western Allied Powers.
Not only do they bear a heavy responsibility, but they also worry about it all the time, worrying that the superpowers will attack them. Not only that, the transfer of power is also troublesome. If he encounters a situation like that of Chen Huang, he is afraid that
I will be pissed to death by those traitors...
He did not miss the power of the leader of the allied country at all, he just thought that Sadiq would be able to send a message back soon, and that Lao Zheng would deal with the coalition forces of Khotan and Gumo soon...
At this time, in the vast desert, an army of ten thousand people was marching forward with difficulty.
It has been half a month since the allied forces of Khotan and Gumo set out to attack the allies in the Western Regions under the orders of Dayue.
Marching in the desert is very difficult. You have to endure the scorching sun during the day and the freezing cold at night. If you are unfortunate enough to encounter a sandstorm, the entire army may be destroyed.
Their luck was quite good. Although the weather was very cruel, they did not encounter any major disasters. Even so, after driving for more than half a month, everyone was exhausted and had a look of dust on their faces.
A general walked to the rear, looked at the Khotan leader who was accompanying the army, and said: "One hundred miles ahead is the Qiemo Kingdom."
After marching for so long, they were finally close to the goal. The leader of Khotan breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Order the entire army to rest where they are and recharge their batteries to attack Qiemo tomorrow..."
The army camped where they were, and the moonlight was not bright tonight. The moon was hidden behind thick dark clouds, and the desert was completely silent. The occasional howl of wolves made this silent night even colder.
The night was so dark that even the spies in the army did not notice that within a radius of ten miles away from them, in all directions, countless figures were slowly approaching under the cover of night.
…
In Wutanzi City, inside the palace, the heads of the various countries were sitting below, with Tang Ning holding a battle report in her hand.
The night before yesterday, Lao Zheng commanded more than 10,000 allies and horse thieves to attack the enemy camp at night a hundred miles away from Qiemo Kingdom. The Khotan and Gumo coalition forces were caught off guard, their food and grass were burned, and their water sources were destroyed.
In the dark night, after the poisonous arrows specially made by the elders were shot into the camp, the billowing poisonous smoke ignited and killed less than half of the enemies.
The rest of the people were so frightened that they could not form a formation at all. Under the orderly charges of the Allies, they were quickly defeated. In the chaos, the leaders of Khotan and the Gumo Kingdom were also defeated by the Allies.
The enemy's army was captured, and the opponent's army was leaderless. In the end, five thousand people were captured alive by the Allied forces, and the rest fled in all directions...
Tangning looked at the anxious and expectant eyes of the kings below, handed over the battle report, and said, "Everyone, please take a look..."
Although this battle report is written in Chinese characters, many of these monarchs understand Chinese. Several of them studied in the Imperial College when they were young, so they can naturally understand Chinese characters.
Those who didn't understand also showed ecstasy on their faces after being explained by those people.
"Won!"
"We actually defeated Khotan and Gumo!"
"This is the defensive force that Dayue left behind. Before defeating Xiaowan, they will no longer be able to use their strength to deal with us..."
…
The faces of the princes were excited and glowing red. The names of Khotan and Gumo were like thunder to their ears as small countries. They never thought that one day, these first-class big countries would be defeated by them...
However, everyone also knew why such a change had occurred in them. They looked at the figure in the front, their eyes full of reverence.
Tang Ning waited until everyone settled down before saying, "Now that the threat from Gumo and Khotan has been eliminated, I have an idea that I would like to discuss with you."
The leader of the Qiemo Kingdom stood up and said, "It doesn't matter if you say so."
Tangning looked at everyone and said: "As we all know, Yutian and Gumo are affiliated with Dayue. Although we defeated the Yutian-Gumo coalition this time, we also offended Dayue even more. When they finish fighting with Xiao
Wan's stalemate, if we free our hands, we will still attack our allies."
After Tang Ning finished speaking, when the interpreters from the heads of the various countries completed the translation, they all showed worried looks on their faces.
They can defeat Yutian and Gumo, but they cannot be Da Yue's opponent. One Da Yue's strength is equal to ten Yutian and Gumo combined.
When Otsuki frees up his hands, the troops that will attack the allies will not be ten thousand, but one hundred thousand.
Tang Ning looked at the worried faces of everyone and said, "But you don't have to worry. Da Yue is currently restrained by Xiao Wan and has no time for him to take care of us. He won't come to deal with us in the short term. But even so, we can't sit still and wait for death. I
I feel that now that the army of Dayue is outside and the country is empty, this is our opportunity. If we can attack Dayue City in one fell swoop and capture the leader of Dayue Kingdom, we can avoid future troubles forever..."
After Tang Ning finished speaking, several heads of state who could understand Chinese opened their mouths in shock.
It's not enough to defeat Yu Tian and Gu Mo, he actually wants to attack Da Yue?
You know, Otsuki is a superpower with a hundred thousand mercenaries and a population of hundreds of thousands!
The population of these countries is only a few hundred or thousands, and they don't even dare to dream of such an idea. Even the current allies in the Western Region are far behind Da Yue. If they attack Da Yue, wouldn't they be destroying themselves with an egg against a stone?
Tang Ning looked at them and said: "According to reliable information, most of Dayue's victorious troops were restrained by Xiaowan. Khotan and Gumo were also defeated by us. There are only a few thousand troops stationed in Dayue City now.
As long as we send advanced experts to sneak into Dayue City, and work together internally and externally, it shouldn't be difficult to capture Dayue."
It was Tang Ning's idea not long ago to simply seize Da Yue altogether. Anyway, the allies had offended Da Yue to death. Once Da Yue was free in the future, these small countries would still be in big trouble.
It would be better to take advantage of his illness and kill him, take advantage of Otsuki's soldiers to be away and the country to be empty, to seize their power and avoid future troubles forever.
After more than a dozen heads of state had a heated discussion, their faces began to glow.
Obviously, they also realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Most of Oyue's soldiers and horses were outside, and although the forces left behind in the country were not weak, they were no match for the current allies in the Western Regions.
If we can cooperate internally and externally, we really have a great chance to subvert Otsuki...
That is Dayue, one of the most powerful countries in the Western Region. If the allies can annex Dayue, they will become one of the superpowers in the Western Region alongside Xiaowan and Wusun. What kind of glory and glory is this?
The Lord of Qiemo's eyes shone brightly and he said: "The First Lord is right, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. As far as I know, Dayue has annexed many countries in the past two years and classified the people of those countries as inferior.
Untouchables, let the people of Dayue bully you. There are quite a few of these people. If we can send spies to sneak into Dayue City and provoke these people, we will definitely cause quite a disturbance in Dayue City..."
"Dayue's army is restrained by Xiaowan and cannot leave. Even if the Allies attack Dayue City, they will have no time to rescue them. At that time, once we take control of Dayue City, they will be cut off from supplies and will have no choice but to surrender.
He chooses..."
…
After Tangning raised this topic, she obviously gave them a lot of inspiration. After everyone discussed it for a while, they actually came up with a detailed plan.
Tang Ning looked at the crowd and thought that they were not mediocre people who could sit on the throne of the country. According to their plan, Da Yue could be disintegrated from the inside and outside at the same time without Old Beggar and Old Zheng taking action.
While everyone was continuing to discuss, Bahar suddenly walked in quickly from outside the door, looked at Tangning, respectfully handed something to her, and solemnly said: "Master of the country, Xiaowan's credentials..."
