Chapter 1022 Since the Tang Dynasty

【 ..】,!

There is no detailed record in the history books about Jieyujiasi's attack on Beiting, so Shen Long didn't know their marching route, but according to the current distribution of forces between Tubo and Uyghur, and the fact that Uyghur slammed Tubo and reopened the Silk Road in the future It can be judged that their attack direction should be from west to east. After taking Tingzhou, it will be the turn of Yizhou in the east, and then the generation of Guazhou and Shazhou in the Hexi Corridor.

Of course, Jieyujiasi may also go west to fight Ge Luolu, because the last time he was defeated by Tubo, it was because Tubo united Ge Luolu, Baifu Turks and other forces to jointly deal with the coalition forces of the Uighurs and Beiting Duhufu .

In the end, the hatred for Tubo prevailed. At the military meeting after taking Tingzhou, Jieyujiasi proposed a plan to attack eastward. This plan was approved by Yang Xigu. After all, Tang Dynasty is in the east. , if the road from the Western Regions to the Tang Dynasty can be opened up, the days of Beiting Dufu and Anxi Dufu will be easier.

On the other hand, if they attack Ge Luolu in the west, it will not benefit the Tang Dynasty much. At most, it will only allow them to gain more territory and seize it. It will not fundamentally change the situation of the remnants of Anxi Dufu Mansion and Beiting Duhu Mansion in the Western Regions. .

This time, Jun Yijie Yu Jiasi's attitude has changed a lot, and his attitude towards Yang Xigu and Shen Long is much better. This is because he finally saw the whole picture of the Tang army. The four thousand Tang troops were all wearing iron armor. He was both jealous and fearful. You must know that iron armor is a strategic material, known for its high cost. Even if the Uighur Khan searched the entire Uighur territory, it would be extremely difficult to find four thousand sets of iron armor.

This incident shocked Jie Yugas no less than the guerrillas of later generations saw armored groups. The deterrent power of armored soldiers in the era of cold weapons is comparable to that of tanks in the era of hot weapons.

If Yang Xigu's subordinates were still old, weak, sick and disabled in ragged clothes, of course Jieyujiasi would look down on them, but now Yang Xigu has brought a total of 4,000 armored soldiers. If they fight head-on, they can defeat tens of thousands of Uighurs under him Soldiers are basically not a problem; the people on the grasslands believe in the law of the jungle, and now that Yang Xigu's power is better than his own, Na Jieyujiasi will naturally change his attitude.

"I don't know if the Great Protector has any spare armor? Can you sell some to the next?" Jie Yujiasi even changed his name, and at the same time he was also wondering, the Great Tang and the Western Regions have been cut off for many years, and the caravan of the Great Tang They only recently returned to the Western Regions via the tent of the Uyghur King, and what they carried were silk, porcelain, etc., did you see iron armor? Where did Yang Xigu's iron armor come from?

This is definitely not sent by a caravan. Four thousand armors, how big is this caravan? Moreover, iron armor is more precious than gold in the eyes of the Uighurs. If so many iron armors enter the territory of the Uighurs, the Uighurs will take these things even at the risk of falling out with Datang.

"It's not impossible!" Yang Xigu touched his beard. He had expected this matter a long time ago and discussed it with Shen Long. some benefits.

"Oh?" Jieyu Jiasi didn't expect to get the iron armor from Tang Jun, but now he heard Yang Xigu's tone loosen, and immediately asked with bright eyes, "How can I get the iron armor? Please also state clearly, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse!"

As long as he can get the iron armor, his power will grow stronger. The Uighurs are not a unified dynasty like the Tang Dynasty. The Uighur nobles often pay more attention to the interests of their own tribes. If they can get the iron armor for themselves, then Jieyugas can Developed.

"Before the fall of Beiting, countless Tang people fell into the hands of the enemy. Every time Ben Duhu thinks about it, he feels ashamed to face it.

Therefore, if the prime minister can help us find these people in Datang, Ben Duhu should repay him with iron armor. "Yang Xigu said, this is of course Shen Long's plan. The most important thing for Datang now is the population. Still, as many iron armors as there are, the people of Tang Dynasty will not increase out of thin air.

"It's easy. I don't know how many people of the Tang Dynasty can be found to exchange for a set of iron armor?" Jie Yujiasi was delighted. Since the Western Regions and the Tang Dynasty were cut off, the people of the Tang Dynasty fell into the hands of foreigners. A few, not to mention the Tubo and Ge Luolu enemy troops, even the Uyghurs have some Tang people in their hands. Jieyujiasi wants to exchange the Tang people in his own hands for iron armor.

Both Shen Long and Yang Xigu were well aware of this, but Jieyu Jiasi would definitely say no if they insisted. It would be great to be able to exchange people with iron armor, and when they attacked Tubo in the future, they would exchange for more The Iron Armor will definitely give priority to recapturing the people of the Tang Dynasty from the Tubo people, which is definitely a good thing for them.

Yang Xigu and Jieyu Jiasi bargained for a price, determined the number of Tang people that could be exchanged for a set of iron armor, and then led the army eastward together, approaching the city of Yizhou.

Not long after arriving at the city, Jieyujiasi sent a group of Tang army captives. It was presumed that they had just attacked the Tubo people not far away and captured them from the Tubo people, but in fact he collected them from his own tribe. of.

Regarding this, both Shen Long and Yang Xigu pretended to believe that it would be good as long as the person could come back. Under the expectant eyes of Jieyujias, Yang Xigu paid the iron armor according to the amount as promised. Once again, he sent people to Uighur territory to look for the traces of the people of the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time strictly ordered his subordinates to rescue those people of the Tang Dynasty first when attacking Tubo.

Shen Long sent a team to send these redeemed Datang people to Tingzhou for resettlement, where these Datang people will first recuperate their bodies, and then resettle them according to their respective specialties, either to farm, or work as craftsmen, or It is to become a Datang soldier again.

These Datang citizens who have been in the hands of foreign races for many years are very moved when they see their relatives again. Many people want to rejoin the team at the moment, but they are declined by Shen Long. Going to the battlefield, it's better to go to the rear to eat a few more meals and take care of your body.

After sending away the Tang people, Shen Long led a small group of people to investigate the situation around Yizhou. With the help of Yingniao, he saw a group of miscellaneous beards watching them not far away.

Just as he was thinking about how to deal with these people, he saw Gao Ju, the local leader, riding over with both hands, shouting from a distance, "But the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty have returned? The villain is willing to lead the warriors in his ministry to fight for the Tang Dynasty Take it in, the general!"

Huh? This is the legendary Zigan Tang?
