Chapter 714 People from the Cheng Family

Take Li You's bullying of the princess as an example. Fortunately, it happened in the territory of the Turks. After all, the Western Turks still have strength.

If it happened in other small countries, I'm afraid this thing would be unimaginable. Take their Loulan country as an example, let alone a princess, so what if she is the king's wife? All the armed forces across the country were added up, and in the end there were only about 30,000 people.

And their combat effectiveness is not good enough. They only have about 70% of the combat effectiveness of the Western Turkic Cavalry. Under such circumstances, if someone sleeps with your king's wife, is it possible for you to respond? If you put all 30,000 of them together, is it enough for the Tang army to drink a pot?

When this happened, the Prime Minister summoned his generals and asked them to conduct a sand table deduction on the map. The final result made the Prime Minister completely give up. Unless our army is If we go to the desert and fight guerrillas with the Tang army, we will cause some casualties to the Tang army.

But it is impossible for us to win. When our army enters the desert, the Tang army will enter the main transportation arteries and cities in the Loulan Kingdom, which is equivalent to controlling more than 70% of the Loulan Kingdom. population, in this case, no matter what kind of victory the army in the desert achieves, it will be impossible to turn the situation around.

So after General Kang Ying finished speaking, this guy felt that he had to hurry back. If Li You did something excessive in his country, then they could only break his teeth and swallow it. We must not make this matter a big deal. In other words, if he wants to slap the left cheek, we must not only get the other cheek close to him, but we must also be prepared to be slapped on the right cheek.

Although it is a bit shameful to do so, who makes us not as strong as others? The relationship between countries is actually the same as the relationship between people. When you are strong enough, others will give you full respect. But if you are not strong enough, sometimes you even breathe incorrectly, people can easily find a reason to annex you.

It turns out that there was still the Western Region Allied Forces here to support them. Maybe some people in the Tang Dynasty had to think about what they were doing, but now the Western Regions Allied Forces have been disbanded. As the core of the Western Regions Allied Forces, the Western Turkic troops will soon withdraw. , and the Prime Minister of Loulan Kingdom saw clearly that after the Western Region Allied Forces disbanded this time, it was absolutely impossible for Li Xiang to allow the countries in the Western Regions to unite again.

The reason why we were able to unite last time was because of Xue Yantuo Khan. This guy is also considered a capable person. He has persuaded all the countries in the Western Region, but can you still have that chance now? Let's not talk about other countries, let's just talk about the largest main force, the Western Turks. They have finally been able to win a certain degree of peace, and there is no way they will fall into the quagmire again.

Without the participation of the Western Turks, even if there are some eloquent people, even if you unite all the countries in the Western Region, how can we deal with the Tang army with limited strength?

Throughout this whole day, armies from all walks of life came to say goodbye to General Kang Ying. Although these people usually did not help much, after all, everyone had lived in the same military camp for such a long time. At that time, General Kang Ying still felt a little sad.

"General, a Tang army has rushed out from the border."

The farewell is going on here, who knows something will happen next to it. If it were in the past, General Kang Ying would definitely order his men to stand ready, but now most of the troops are packed and ready to go back Went to the royal city.

Procedure?

Cheng Yaojin?

General Kang Ying saw the general's banner in the distance. The words on it reminded him of General Cheng Yaojin of the Tang Dynasty, who was also considered a tiger general of the Tang Dynasty.

But when he saw the person leading the army, Kang Ying knew that he was wrong. This person should be a descendant of General Cheng Yaojin. Otherwise, how could he be so young?

General Kang Ying immediately came over with more than 20 people. It seemed that there were not many people on the other side, only about five or six hundred people at most. They probably weren't here to start a fight.

"May I ask if the person opposite you is General Kang Ying?"

Cheng Chumo said with his fists clasped.

"That's right. I wonder who the general is?"

Although they are currently in the process of retreating, the Western Turks have not been defeated after all, and General Kang Ying is still full of energy in his words.

"I'm here next to Cheng Chumo. My father is Cheng Yaojin, the great general of the Tang Dynasty."

Cheng Chumo said very proudly that in the Tang army, this kind of inheritance has basically been formed. If your father is not strong enough, he will not be able to blow up the font size, but if it is your father If your father is strong enough, it would be an honor to have this brand name, which shows that your family has a lot of knowledge.

"I don't know what the general is doing here!"

In the past, General Kang Ying would have had to greet Cheng Chumo, but now he was feeling a little down, so he was not in the mood to greet him.

"I believe that the general has also received a letter from your Khan. We have also received a letter from our Highness. Today you have begun to retreat. We are here to supervise the retreat. Except for the 20,000 cavalry of your court, the other troops The retreat must be completed before sunset tomorrow."

When Cheng Chumo said this, many people present were a little unconvinced and wished they could go up and fight him for 300 rounds, but they were all stopped by General Kang Ying. This is a warning given to us, whether we retreat tomorrow or We will retreat the day after tomorrow. We will have to leave here sooner or later. If we start a fight with the other party because of this matter, wouldn't all our previous negotiations be in vain?

"General Cheng, please rest assured that we will complete the retreat within the specified time. However, our army also carries a large amount of supplies. I hope General Cheng can give us time to calculate."

The combat troops were able to retreat as soon as they were told to retreat, but the logistics personnel were slower.

"I have not received a letter in this regard. The letter I have received is that you must complete the retreat tomorrow night. If the retreat is not completed tomorrow night, we must receive all personnel and materials."

After hearing Cheng Chumo's words, General Kang Ying felt uncomfortable. You are clearly robbing us. We have brought so many supplies from the rear. Do you think we can take them away if we can?
