From Soldier To Emperor

Chapter 144: 1 north 1 south

Although the Turpan Kingdom had a strong military force, its foundation in the Western Regions was too weak. After separating from Germany with the two warlords, Songtsen Gambo immediately rushed to the pressure to rule the Western Regions.

The prefectures and counties occupied by the Turpan army are not as honest as those occupied by the two warlords. Small-scale uprisings have occurred one after another, and the Semu riots have occurred in two days!

The Tubo had to disperse a large number of troops to stay in the newly occupied territory.

After all, the Tubo people have just arrived, and the Semu people and Han people in the Western Regions have a very low sense of identification with them!

In particular, the Han class generally believes that the independence of the Tufan Kingdom is a betrayal of the Han nation, but the two warlord families who have led wolves into the house have a lower hatred...

Songtsen Gampo deeply felt the pain of not leading the party, and regretted that he was too anxious to destroy the orthodox forces of Anxi Prefecture and over-supported the warlord forces of Yutian and Yanqi...

In fact, Songtsen Gampo had also left behind. The Zhaowu family in the west was supported by Tufan tribe fighters, and the conquest was Songtsen Gampo's successor.

He planned to support a Zhaowu family in the western region of the Western Region far away from the four towns of Anxi and unify the area west of Congling in order to counterbalance the excessive expansion of Khotan and Yanqi after the war.

Unfortunately, the first target of the Zhaowu clan was defeated...

Of course, Songtsen Gampo's backhand was also wiped out.

But now that the general trend has taken shape, it is useless for Songtsen Gampo to regret it. Now most of the main force of Tufan is used to consolidate the newly occupied territory, and the remaining power is not to be said to be used to deal with the two major forces of Yutian and Yanqi. The warlord, even if he attacked Shule Junzhen, he was not sure of winning 100%.

What's more, Songtsen Gambo didn't want to lose too much military power!

Regardless of the fact that the Tufan army is known as one million, the actual number is 500,000, but the real soldiers are only over 200,000. Among the soldiers, there are less than 50,000 people who can be compared with the private armies of the two major warlords, Khotan and Yanqi...

The Tufan Kingdom has been self-reliant for too short a time. The vast majority of them are tribal-armed warriors and brave men, and they don’t even have much iron armor. Today, most of the iron armor in the Turpan Kingdom’s army was captured from the warehouse after expelling the Tang army... …

Moreover, because the Tufan Kingdom is a vassal state, it has been under the supervision of the Tang Dynasty during peacetime, and no large-scale military industry has been established in the Tufan Kingdom. As a result, the Tufan Kingdom is extremely short of craftsmen to build armor after it became independent!

The Tang court was not stupid, and naturally would not spend money to develop the economy and manufacturing industry of the Turpan Kingdom.

Because of this, the Tufan Kingdom is very poor, and the poor living environment has created a large number of lifeless Tufan barbarian fighters. Although the weapons and equipment of the Tufan Kingdom are poor, their combat effectiveness can reach the average level of the local garrison troops of the Tang Army.

Among them, a few Tufan elites can fight against the regular army of Datang, but the number of those elites is too small...

If it can obtain the Western Regions, which is regarded as a local business by Datang, the Tufan Kingdom will be able to obtain a large number of mature Han artisans, which can completely make up for the lack of iron manufacturing in the Tufan Kingdom.

As long as there is enough good equipment to provide, with the fierceness of the Turpan tribal warriors, it is easy to arm a daring army.

This is why the Turpan Kingdom desperately wants to occupy the entire Western Regions.

Of course, the weak outsiders of the Tufan Kingdom cannot be seen. At least the warlords in the Western Regions do not know that there are a large number of brave and barbaric fighters in the Tufan Kingdom, but the current situation of extremely lack of weaponry and equipment productivity.

The former Yuchi Yingzhe and Long Letian joined the Turpan Kingdom. On the one hand, they were attracted by the benefits that Songtsen Gambo promised. On the other hand, they were scared by the Turpan Kingdom’s ‘Military Army’.

However, when the Turpan Kingdom’s millions of troops actually appeared, Yuchi Yingzhe and Long Letian both saw the essence of the so-called millions of troops, and naturally they were no longer afraid. Through a series of battles, the Turpan Army’s ratio of combat troops and armor rate Both were found out by the two warlords, and they didn't put the Tufan Kingdom in their eyes!

If there is a chance, Long Letian and Yuchi Yingzhe are naturally unwilling to be the younger brothers of King Songtsen Gampo of Tufan!

The two of them don't have to go back to the Tufan Kingdom. It doesn't do any good to do that. They are not big Han nationalists...

The state that Yuchi Yingzhe and Long Letian desire most is to become one, controlling the Western Regions as the foundation of the family and becoming an independent ‘vassal state’.

In other words, the two warlords longed for the vassal relationship between the Tufan Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty before the establishment of the Tufan Kingdom.

Can get asylum, but also retain a lot of autonomy!

If you can promote the ‘gong’ to the ‘king’, that would be the best!

People's ambitions increase as their strength increases.

In this way, Gong Yanqi's army marched westward from the north of Congling along the lines of Shattered Leaf and Julan.

All the prefectures and counties encountered along the way depend on the spread.

Khotan’s army rushed to Jumi Mansion along the path south of Congling. There was no battle in the prefectures and counties encountered along the way...

Compared with Richard, the grass-roots rising king of Ming Dynasty, Long Letian and Yuchi Yingzhe are both veteran Western Regions. Their connections in the Western Regions are not comparable to that of Richard. Those county officials are naturally unwilling to be meaningless. The resistance.

This is the general trend!

At the same time, it is also popular!

Compared to surrendering to the Tubos, surrendering to the Han warlords is obviously more acceptable.

Because Tufan is an outsider, God knows whether the Tubo people will settle accounts afterwards and deprive the Han Chinese of the power of the gentry class?

As long as the warlords of Western Regions like Yuchi Yingzhe and Long Letian are not convulsed in their brains, they will never act on the interests of the Han Chinese gentry and class they are used to.

As for the guardian of the Shule Army Township Luyang who represents the Zheng unified party of the Tang Dynasty~www.wuxiahere.com~ the general situation is over. Although there are many sympathetic to him, not many people are willing to continue to embark on Luyang’s broken ship to be buried together...

Those who can achieve high positions are very realistic and will never choose the loser to invest.

This kind of political investment is a bet on the life of the whole family, and no personal emotions are allowed in it!

After Richard completed his occupation and policy reform in Shiguo Mansion, he naturally received the news that two troops from the north and the south were marching towards him.

Long Letian and Yuchi Yingzhe rushed over with their respective main forces in a violent manner. Of course, Richard couldn't wait to die. If he wanted to gain a firm foothold in the Western Regions and continue to expand, war was inevitable!

After analyzing the intelligence of the two sides, Richard took Yuchi Yingzhe who was walking on the southern road as the first target to deal with. The main reason was that Yuchi Yingzhe's starting point was closer. At this time, he had already occupied Jumi Mansion, and he was about to come to the US Mansion!

Yuchi Yingzhe has tens of thousands of front-line field troops, and tens of thousands of secular servants. The eighth field regiment of the US government that has just divided the fields is absolutely unstoppable.
