Li Shi Min was about to speak.
However, when he thought of the envoy's unconscious appearance, he opened his mouth and took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.
"I'm asking you!" he asked calmly. How's the situation in the Western Regions? Where are the envoys who set off with you?"
The envoy had just woken up. When he heard Li Shiming's question, he almost cried.
He only had one thought in mind, and that was to beg His Majesty not to send him to the Western Regions again. He was just like an unlucky fellow, and every time he went there, something would happen to him.
Li Shi Min looked at the envoy who was on the verge of tears and asked,""Zhen is asking you a question!"
The envoy was smart.
He quickly sat up and said,"Your Majesty!" The Western Regions is gone!"
“...”
Li Shi Min leaned back. He suddenly felt that this sentence was so familiar.
It seemed that this envoy had also gone to Tuyuhun last time. After he returned, he said,"Tuyuhun is gone!"
But now, the Western Regions was gone?
"The Western Regions are gone? What do you mean?"
Li Shi Min was a little confused.
"Your Majesty!" the envoy hurriedly replied. When I rushed to the Western Regions! The rulers of the various countries in the Western Regions had already surrendered to the Great Zhou!”
Rumble!
The envoy's first sentence was like a clap of thunder in the clear sky, shocking everyone into a daze.
The rulers of the various countries in the Western Regions had already surrendered to the Great Zhou!
This sentence was simply ridiculous to a certain level!
How big was the Great Zhou and how strong was its national strength? How many troops do they have?
Li Shi Min and the others were well aware of this.
Although the 30,000 Tang army had failed to attack the Great Zhou, the other party had relied on the terrain advantage to catch the Great Tang off guard and win a complete victory.
If they fought head-on, even if they could not win, they could at least cause some losses to the Great Zhou army.
In other words, the Great Zhou's military strength could not withstand a head-on confrontation on the battlefield.
As long as the countries of the Western Regions had some brains and were slightly bolder, it was impossible for them to not be able to defeat the Great Zhou.
Even if they did not retaliate, the Great Zhou would not be able to take down the Western Regions in a short period of time.
But the rulers of the Western Regions had surrendered?
This was inconceivable!
Were the monarchs of the Western Regions all pigs?
However, when he thought of the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the actions of the various countries in the Western Regions did not seem to be something that pigs could do.
Li Shi Min looked around and asked hesitantly,""What's going on? Did you see the fake news?”
"No, Your Majesty! When I arrived at Dangxiang, I saw a newspaper."
The envoy hurriedly shook his head, as if he was pouring out bitter water.
Without any pause, he recounted everything they had seen since they arrived in the Western Regions.
He even told them about how he was discovered by the white-robed army and how he fled afterward.
In the end, the envoy said,""Your Majesty! I request to resign from my official position and return to my hometown to farm! Your Majesty, please agree!"
He did not want to be an envoy anymore!
If he continued, even if he did not die, he would probably go crazy.
However, his request did not receive a response.
Because everyone in the hall was still digesting the news he had just sent.
In the beginning.
Li Shi Min still thought that the envoy was lying, but after hearing the explanation, he suddenly understood.
Li Chengyuan wanted to capture the king first. First, he invited the king to a banquet and forced him to surrender.
Then, he would control the information channels and spread the information that was beneficial to him. Then, he would control the top-level political power and achieve unity.
In the end, all kinds of promises and benefits were made, and the mess of the Western Regions was mostly subdued.
Of course, the current Western Regions was not truly unified.
In his opinion, it would take at least a month, or even longer, before they could be unified in a strict sense.
However, when those kings died, the nobles either surrendered or were replaced.
Only the Great Zhou or the people of the Great Zhou would remain at the top of the Western Regions.
As a result, there was no one in the Great Tang who could join forces, let alone attack the Great Zhou.
After all, the countries of the Western Regions were different from the Great Tang.
Most of them had a tribal system, and the military system of the country was not unified. Many times, the various tribes would send out green soldiers to participate in the war. Usually, they would be the people who grazed and farmed.
There weren't many soldiers who were truly controlled by the royal power.
They were not even very loyal and would switch sides at any time for a meal, a large sum of money, or even gold, silver, treasures, beauties, cows, and sheep.
These people would never ally with the Great Tang.
The Great Tang did not have that much money to go to war.
After all, the Great Tang still had a food crisis on its hands.
The drought and famine were like a knife stuck in the Great Tang's throat, forcing it to struggle.
After a long time, Li Shiming sighed helplessly.
He raised his head and muttered weakly,""Li Chengyuan! You're really good at scheming!"
Li Chengyuan was no fool. He had definitely guessed that the Great Tang was powerless.
That was why they dared to annex the Western Regions so boldly. Otherwise, with the chaos in the Great Zhou, it would be hard to say if the Great Tang would attack!
The surrounding officials did not know what to say.
Only Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yaojin looked at each other and opened their mouths, but they kept their thoughts in their stomachs.
