Datang broom star

……

In the palace, the resting emperor came.

"Where is it?"

"Your Majesty, it's the envoy of Tochara, who said it was a big food attack, and the envoy is outside."

"Let him in."

The envoy came in, saluted and begged: "Your Majesty, Dashi has dispatched an army and is attacking Tocharo..."

"What does Da Shi want to do?"

The emperor was not in a hurry, and asked calmly.

Dai Zhide said: "Your Majesty, I think Dashi is coveting Anxi."

Liu Rengui glanced at him with contempt in his eyes, "This matter can only be confirmed after Anxi's report."

He glanced at the messenger.

——Can you trust the words of the foreign envoy?

Dai Zhide was stabbed in the back.

Although the emperor's vision was blurred, he only needed to hear these words to know what happened.

He is happy to see such contradictions, and he has also taught the prince.

"Your Majesty, Duke Zhao is asking to see you."

Dai Zhide breathed a sigh of relief.

He glanced at Liu Rengui.

Liu Rengui coughed dryly and put away his weapon.

——The Great Tang Prime Minister's Weapons Manual, fifth: Liu Rengui's backstab.

Footsteps came, and the messenger turned back.

Jia Ping'an entered the hall, saluted and said: "I heard that the Tocharian envoys came to ask for help, but did you say that the Dashi invaded?"

The messenger said respectfully: "Yes."

Jia Pingan asked, "How did Dashi invade?"

"Army!" said the messenger.

Jia Pingan frowned, "If Dashi dispatched an army, Tucharuo would have been destroyed by now."

Uh!

yes ha!

The envoy's cowhide was pierced, and he choked up and said: "The big cannibals keep sending out rangers, and many rangers keep rushing in and strangling our people..."

Damn!

This liar!

Dai Zhide was extremely annoyed, and only then did he realize that Liu Rengui was right.

But Liu Rengui is very quiet at the moment, not domineering.

Jia Pingan continued to ask: "Dashi will not attack suddenly. If it does so suddenly, it must be with a thunderous force, and it will not be strangled by any ranger. Then... are there any clues before the incident? Are there any messengers?"

The emperor on the throne nodded slightly.

This is the demeanor of a handsome man.

The prince is studying silently.

The envoy glanced at Jia Pingan, with a look of awe in his eyes, "Yes, Dashi sent an envoy before the incident, and asked... Asked that Tocharo is the territory of Datang."

Jia Pingan said: "You must say no."

The envoy lowered his head, "The lord is worried that... Dashi will send troops."

"Both ends of the first mouse."

Someone hummed.

Jia Pingan turned around, "Your Majesty, I thought this was a challenge from Dashi. They used envoys to test Tocharo. No matter whether Tocharo said yes or no, they would send out rangers to harass."

"What is the purpose?" asked the emperor.

Jia Pingan said: "Datang defeated Tubo and guarded Congling. Immediately, the big and small Bolu bowed their heads to Datang. Datang has already built a line of defense on the side of Anxi near Tubo. At this moment, Dashi is most worried about Datang Turning west... Persia bears the brunt."

"Be the first to strike first?"

Jia Pingan shook his head, "Da Shi dare not take the risk of a full-scale war with Datang... You must know that Datang has wiped out the surrounding enemies now, and the invincible tiger is doing nothing. If there is a full-scale war, Datang will use Anxi as the base camp to attack Conquering the Western Regions, constantly expelling the big cannibals...so I think that the big cannibals are sending out a challenge, and as for Tocharo, it is just a dessert before the meal."

The emperor nodded, "You mean...the big cannibal challenged the Tang Dynasty by harassing Tocharo, which is a kind of restraint and prudence."

"Yes."

The emperor understood, "If Tang ignores it, it will be considered weak, and the big cannibal will immediately break through Tucharo and attack Anxi..."

"The method is good."

Dai Zhide felt that he needed to make amends, "But if Datang wins..."

"There is no need to keep chasing and killing them." Jia Pingan said: "The big cannibals are now expanding in all directions. What Datang needs to do is... use a hearty victory to make them dare not peep. Then they can only go Go west."

"Is there a strong country in the west?"

"Yes, for example, Eastern Rome, and there are some countries in the past, and some of them are powerful..."

"Drive the tiger and swallow the wolf!"

Jia Pingan nodded, "The big cannibal is like a giant at the moment, and he has to find a place to vent all his strength. If Datang declines, he will naturally smash Datang. If Datang goes to war with them in an all-out way, then this force will be exhausted." They will all be directed at Datang."

The emperor said: "The territory of the Tang Dynasty is too vast."

The courtiers understood.

The territory of Datang is too vast, would it be beneficial to start a full-scale war with Dashi?
