Chapter 621 Control Gaochang first

Mr. Zhao has never cooperated with Li Xiang, but he has heard of Li Xiang's way of doing things before, which is to use force as the premise under any circumstances. If our force does not have the advantage, then everything we talk about will be a waste. Time, today I saw Li Xiang's handling method, it is really the same as in the legend.

Xiao Shougui also watched all this with great interest. When he set out from Chang'an City, his grandfather told him very clearly that all he had to do was follow Li Xiang. Even some orders issued by Chang'an City must be based on Li Xiang's orders. The elephant and the horse are looking forward.

"If you have anything to say, please say it. Although it is our first time to cooperate, we are all under the banner of Datang. If what you say is very beneficial, then I will also adopt your opinions. Over time, you will Got it, I don’t have a speech hall here.”

Li Xiang saw that Mr. Zhao seemed to have something to say, but he was hesitant to say it. In fact, this is normal. Mr. Zhao is not a direct descendant of Li Xiang. All the troops here belong to Li Xiang, so Mr. Zhao Hesitant to raise objections.

"Since His Highness has said so, the old man will just say a few words. A war will definitely happen. I wonder if His Highness will target the Western Region Allied Forces or Gaochang?"

Mr. Zhao hesitated for a moment, and finally said what was in his heart. When Mr. Zhao said this, everyone present was a little surprised. If the fight starts, of course we will face the Western Region Allied Forces. They have already fought. Gaochang raised the banner of resisting the Tang Dynasty. At this time, Gaochang's attitude was still very vague. How could he start a war against Gaochang? If a war were to start against Gaochang, wouldn't it mean that Gaochang would be pushed to the side of the Western Region Allied Forces?

"You old man just doesn't understand military matters. Don't talk nonsense on occasions like this in the future. We'll leave your stage to you, but we still have the final say on war matters."

Su Dingfang and Mr. Zhao have become very familiar with each other, and they have often joked with each other during this period, so after Mr. Zhao finished speaking, Su Dingfang immediately stood up to smooth things over, fearing that others would laugh at Mr. Zhao for not knowing military affairs.

"wrong……"

After Su Dingfang finished speaking, he was ready to let Lord Zhao leave first, but Li Xiang raised his hand to stop Su Dingfang. Li Xiang listened to what Lord Zhao said just now.

When Li Xiang raised his head, everyone knew that Li Xiang must have changed his mind, but Gaochang was not weak at this stage. Although it was humiliated by Xue Yantuo for a while, it was still a big country in the Western Regions.

"Master Zhao really reminded me, otherwise we will have to enter the west of Gaochang. We are not familiar with fighting there and there are still certain risks. But if we fight in Gaochang, then we are 90% sure. After defeating the Gaochang army, we can control Gaochang first, and then we can also give a warning to the countries in the Western Region."

After Li Xiang finished speaking, Niu Jinda and Su Dingfang also thought about it. Mr. Zhao is not only a civil servant, but also seems to know something about military matters. As our Highness said, it is better to go to an unfamiliar place in the west. For a war, it would be better for me to capture Gaochang in a familiar place first.

If we capture Gaochang, we can advance, attack, retreat or defend. This means we have a very good offensive position. At the same time, we can also prevent the Western Region Allied Forces from going to the inland through the Hexi Corridor. This makes us invincible. It is much safer than us venturing out of the Gaochang border and going to the west to fight with the Western Region Allied Forces.

What's more, except for the Western Turks, most of the countries in the Western Region Allied Forces did not think about fighting the Tang Dynasty. They were simply coerced by Xue Yantuo and the Western Turks. As long as we occupy the land of Gaochang, other small countries may If they don't continue to persevere, it is possible to surrender to the Tang Dynasty in the middle. After all, they are trying to survive in the cracks, and they can't be emperors for anyone.

"Oh, old man, your brain is not an ordinary one."

After Su Dingfang and the others finished analyzing the map, this guy patted Mr. Su on the shoulder and said, Li Xiang immediately frowned, how strong are your hands? Everyone in the army knows that it doesn't matter if a soldier is slapped twice by you, how can the old man bear it?

"Aren't you going to say that I don't understand military matters now?"

Mr. Zhao's teeth were itching with pain at the moment, and Su Dingfang's hands were really strong.

"Old man, you are both civil and military. If you hadn't suggested it, we might have had to fight here for two more years. Now if we want to capture Gaochang, we have to attack both places at the same time."

Su Dingfang quickly entered combat mode and took out all the previous battle plans. Although it took him several days, Su Dingfang is a very free and easy person. Now he has a new direction of attack. Energy doesn't matter, as long as it can benefit us, it's nothing more than a waste of time.

Regarding Su Dingfang's working status, Li Xiang believed that it was too much. Many people spent several days, so this plan must be carried out. If it is not carried out, it will be equivalent to consuming the fruits of his labor. In fact, in terms of military and national affairs, the results of the labor of one or two people are not important. The key is whether we can obtain the maximum benefit in the end.

"Your Highness, we already have internal agents in Gaochang. Do we need to notify them of this operation?"

Su Dingfang suddenly thought of some of the officials they bribed. These people had privately sworn allegiance to the Tang Dynasty. If they could help, it would be of great help, but at the same time the danger would be magnified.

"Don't inform them yet. We don't have many people this time, so we have to attack suddenly. Those people in the capital will control the palace. As long as they control the upper-class people in Gaochang, we will give their most effective troops to If we destroy it, we will basically control Gaochang."

More than 10,000 people want to occupy the entire country. This is basically a joke, but occupying this country to a limited extent is still no problem. Besides, we still have the royal family to support. After we occupy this country, Wa Dahan may be the new king of Gaochang.

Of course, it's just a puppet. Li Xiang must control this guy. If we relax a little, our efforts may not get a good result. The dog's rope must be tightened.
