Chapter 1959 The thoughts of the countries in the Western Regions
Gaochang State, the capital.
Nowadays, everyone in Gaochangguo is quite nervous. The expressions on everyone's faces reveal a hint of worry, but most of them are indignant.
In the past, the countries in the Western Regions sent Shichen to the Sui Dynasty to meet the emperor, hoping to get the Emperor's care, open up roads to the Western Regions, and even meet with them to collect taxes from the countries in the Western Regions.
But in the end, nothing was gained.
The main people were all slaughtered.
Only a handful of people escaped and came back, and then they told Wang Can that he wanted all the countries in the Western Regions to surrender. If the countries in the Western Regions did not surrender, then Wang Can would send troops to massacre all the countries in the Western Regions.
This news is known throughout the Western Region.
At the beginning of spring, the Sui Dynasty did not send troops, so the countries in the Western Regions did not take it to heart. They all thought that Wang Can was just talking and would not really come.
However, after August, news came out from Luoyang that Wang Can, the imperial advisor of the Sui Dynasty, had personally led 30,000 elite troops to kill them. For a time, the entire Western Region was in turmoil.
Countless people were talking about it.
Because they were all worried about the Sui army.
Especially Gaochang State, which is close to Yiwu County, will bear the brunt of the attack.
The national power of Gaochang State was weak.
The power of Gaochang State alone would definitely not be able to stop the Sui army, so he asked for help from other countries. Because Wang Can had made bold promises to destroy all countries in the Western Regions, when Gaochang State asked for help, all countries sent troops one after another.
As a result, the number of troops gathered in Gaochang State has exceeded 150,000, which is the strength of the entire Western Region.
It is also the confidence of all countries.
After all, Wang Can only brought 30,000 elite troops this time. Compared with the 150,000 elite troops, such a small force was simply too insignificant and too surprising.
Gaochangguo, in the main hall.
The king of Gaochang is sitting at the top, and below are the generals of various countries.
After all, all countries have sent troops.
The King of Gaochang looked around at everyone and said: "Everyone, according to the news from the front line, the Sui Dynasty's troops have already arrived in Yiwu County and are close to our Gaochang Kingdom. Maybe in less than five days, the Sui Dynasty will
The army will arrive at the capital of Gaochang State. If we cannot resist by then, the consequences will be disastrous."
After a pause, the King of Gaochang Kingdom said: "So now we must block this battle. Only by blocking the Sui Dynasty's military front, will our Gaochang Kingdom, and even the countries in the Western Regions, have a chance to continue to gain a foothold in the Western Regions. If this battle
If it cannot be stopped, then the Gaochang Kingdom will be destroyed, and other countries will not be spared."
General Loulan was a man in his fifties. He groped his beard and said: "Actually, there is another thing. Wang Can was the national advisor of the Sui Dynasty. Even now, Wang Can has become
It is a symbol of the Great Sui Dynasty. If we defeat Wang Can of the Great Sui Dynasty, then it will be easy to invade the Great Sui Dynasty. It seems that this battle is a risk, but there are also endless opportunities."
The general of Wusun Kingdom also said: "Yes, this is actually an opportunity. If we only have 10,000 or 20,000 people, that's it. But the problem is, we have enough troops. Our current strength is 150,000 people
.Such a force is enough to easily destroy Wang Can's 30,000 elite soldiers."
"I agree with a war!"
"Yes, this battle must be fought."
"This time, Wang Can must be taught a lesson. This man has always been quite arrogant in Luoyang. Even today, he is still self-righteous. We must teach him a lesson and let him know that the sky is high and the earth is high."
…
A person keeps talking.
Everyone holds the same opinion, and they all want to fight the Sui army led by Wang Can. Because the national power of the Sui Dynasty is becoming stronger and stronger now, but the countries in the Western Regions have been in the Western Regions. If they cannot expand their power with the Sui Dynasty,
If trade cannot earn more money, then their power will become weaker and weaker.
So they want to go to war.
They want to open up the current situation.
The King of Gaochang glanced at everyone, and finally shouted for silence. After a while, everyone fell silent, and their eyes fell on the King of Gaochang.
The King of Gaochang continued: "You have decided to fight, so there is nothing to say. Now that the matter has come to this, it is natural that we have to fight. But if we want to fight, we also have different response strategies, whether to attack proactively or to defend.
To attack. These two plans are the ones that need to be determined at the moment. Everyone, please speak freely. We are not here to speak in a hall. You are all gathered here, so everyone will discuss individually, weigh the pros and cons, and come up with a suitable plan. "
The general of Wusun State said: "What Lord Gaochang said is reasonable, but I think we should take the initiative to attack. You know, there are 150,000 of us, and one person's saliva is enough to drown the Sui army.
"
"no no!"
The general of Shule Kingdom shook his head and said: "Wang Can is an extremely powerful person. If we confront Wang Can head-on, it will not be a lucky thing. So my suggestion is that we use defense as offense and station ourselves at the capital city tower.
Go up and compete with Wang Can. After all, Wang Can's army has come from afar and lacks supplies. If it continues to fail to capture the capital, the entire Sui army will be in trouble. This is our opportunity."
As the general of Shule Kingdom spoke, some people who were afraid of Wang Can also spoke in agreement.
Everyone present expressed their opinions.
There are those who support the fight.
There are also those who support using defense as offense.
The miscellaneous sounds were so noisy that everyone was very excited. They started arguing, and their faces were red from the argument, and they were vaguely planning to take action.
"quiet!!"
"Everyone, be quiet!"
The king of Gaochang Kingdom spoke again.
He was roaring at the top of his lungs.
In fact, everyone has already fallen into a dispute. If the king of Gaochang State does not suppress the situation now and let everyone restore peace, then I am afraid that they will have to fight among themselves before they start a war with Wang Can.
This was something the King of Gaochang did not want.
He didn't want to start fighting among himself.
After a long while, their respective arguments gradually stopped, and their eyes fell on the host, the King of Gaochang, again. Although Gaochang was not the strongest country among all the countries, Gaochang had the most prosperous economy and was, after all, the closest to the rest of the world.
Sui.
Furthermore, Gaochangguo is also the host.
The king of Gaochang State looked around at everyone and said seriously: "Everyone, regarding the issue of how to resist, according to my suggestion, we should not argue with words, but just write down our plans for whether we support sending troops or not, and then we can unify.
Let me summarize it here. If there are many people who support it, then we will go to war. If there are few people who support it, then we won’t go to war. In short, everyone has a vote and each expresses his opinion. What do you think?"
The general of Shule State said: "I agree with voting. This is a good suggestion."
"I agree too!"
"I still agree!"
…
One by one they kept speaking, and everyone agreed with the words of the King of Gaochang. Although before, because the war was about to break out, some people may not have listened to the words of the King of Gaochang, but at this moment, everyone agreed.
The King of Gaochang continued: "Everyone, since you all agree to go to war, then I have a condition here, and I hope you can comply with it. If you can't obey, then in my opinion, there is no need to deal with Wang Can's army."
General Loulan said: "What are the conditions?"
Pairs of eyes fell on the King of Gaochang. The King of Gaochang gritted his teeth and said: "Since we have to decide to deal with Wang Can, then, no matter who votes more or less, in short, later,
The losing side must unconditionally support the winning side and cannot have other thoughts. Otherwise, the war will not be easy to fight in the end."
"Can!"
The others spoke one after another.
Everyone agreed.
Seeing that everyone agreed, the King of Gaochang finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since everyone agrees unanimously, let's start voting. Come, hand out papers, and write down your opinions."
He waved his hand and someone handed out the paper.
In the hands of people from various countries in the Western Region present, everyone had a piece of paper, and each wrote down their opinions. After everyone wrote their opinions, they quickly handed it over to the king of Gaochang.
The King of Gaochang collected all the papers and began to count them in front of everyone instead of counting them in private. After all the contents were counted, the results came out.
Most people take the initiative to fight.
There were a total of twenty-eight generals from various countries in the Western Region, and nineteen countries agreed to send troops. Only nine countries wanted to use defense instead of offense.
The King of Gaochang said: "Everyone, the result is already obvious. Then we will send an army of 150,000 to the battlefield to fight against the Sui army."
"Start the war!"
Someone in the crowd shouted.
"Start the war!"
"Start the war!"
…
The generals of each country kept talking. For them, this battle is crucial, and they have sufficient troops. They have enough strength and must fight.
As everyone expressed their opinions, the atmosphere reached its peak at this moment.
When the King of Gaochang saw this, he was relieved in his heart. What he was most worried about was that everyone was not united. Now, everyone is willing to fight together to fight against the Sui army, and even hopes to deal with the Sui army. So in
Under such a situation, the countries in the Western Regions still have a chance to win.
The King of Gaochang raised his hand and lowered his hand to signal everyone to quiet down.
After everyone stopped talking, the King of Gaochang continued: "Everyone, the Sui army is still some distance away from our capital of Gaochang. As soon as they pass through Yiwu County, they will approach. We are now,
We also need to seize the time to rest and recuperate before dispatching troops. Since we are dispatching troops, I intend to rest for three days. Then, we will dispatch troops in three days. What do you think?"
Everyone agreed in unison.
For them, it actually makes no difference when to send troops.
