"Ding! System upgrade complete!"
"Ding! Main mission released!"
"Main Mission: Attack the Tubo Empire and expand the territory to the Tubo Empire!”
" Mission time: Unlimited. [Note: The host will receive rewards based on the number of cities conquered.]”
" Random Mission: Take down a nearby city. [Mission Reward: Sun Bin Character Card!]”
……
Black Blue City, Taiwei Palace.
Li Ye had just finished listening to the report of the ministers when a series of voices suddenly sounded in his mind.
When he came to his senses, his expression was instantly filled with joy.
The system upgrade was complete, and the mission was released!
The main mission was to attack Tubo, so Li Ye was not surprised.
What really surprised him was that there was an option for a hidden mission!
Character Card?
Sun Bin?
This was simply sending charcoal in the snow!
Who knew how much hair he had lost when he faced a boorish man like Xiang Yu every day without the help of an outstanding strategist?
The heavens had taken pity on him. It was finally here!
After announcing the retreat of the court, the officials returned to make final preparations for the war. Only Li Ye was left in the hall.
"I can obtain a Character Card by conquering a city. Which city is it?”
Li Ye frowned and thought about it seriously.
The only clue was the nearby city.
Tubo was naturally not within the scope of consideration. This was a long-term battle to take down all of them, so it naturally would not be counted.
Further north and west were the Western Turks and Tuyuhun. There were no other cities nearby, only a few relay stations.
There was only one choice left…
The territory of the Great Tang!
Liangzhou City, which was close to here!
" System, oh system, I really like it…"
After thinking it through, Li Ye smiled.""Let this battle be the appetizer for the Great Tang…"
……
A day later.
At the border of the Great Tang, in the Western Regions, in Liangzhou City.
With Jiang Xia King Li Daozong in command, everyone had already received the news that the country to be conquered in this battle was the Western Liang Country!
Ten years ago, the Tang army had defeated Western Liang and almost destroyed the country.
Therefore, even though there were only ten thousand troops, the morale of the Tang army was high. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were conceited.
In the Liangzhou City mansion.
Li Jing had been recalled to Chang 'an.
After the secret letter reached Li Er's hands, Li Jing's suggestion was immediately adopted.
At the same time, Li Er issued an imperial edict to appoint Li Daozong as the Grand Marshal of the Western Expedition. He had to wipe out the Western Liang army in this battle!
At this moment, in the mansion.
Li Daozong frowned." This battle is difficult. We must be careful. When will the Tibetan army arrive?"”
He really felt a pain in the ass.
Didn't they say that they would let the Tibetans be the vanguard and that they would only lead the troops for show?
Why did it become the complete annihilation of the Western Liang army?
Li Daozong felt waves of regret when he connected these things to the fact that he had suddenly been released by the Xi Liang King.
If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have come back!
What should he do?
"Marshal, the Tibetans have sent news that their troops are already stationed outside Xi Liang. At that time, we will need to be the vanguard. Then, the Tibetans will form a pincer attack with us…"
The adjutant glanced at Li Daozong and reported the situation.
This commander-in-chief was none other than the Liangzhou City commandant.
Seeing that Li Daozong's expression was serious and did not seem like he was joking, the adjutant even felt a little disdainful.
It was just a Western Liang Country. This King Jiang Xia was too paranoid. Was he afraid that he could not defeat it?
Recalling what Li Jing had told him before he left, the Vice Commander-in-Chief looked at Li Daozong with a strange expression.
Could it be that the rumors were true and that Prince Jiang Xia had been persuaded to defect?
"No!"
"Barbarians are treacherous. Those who are not of our race will definitely have different hearts!”
"If we rashly attack, our army will be in danger!”
Li Daozong rejected the Vice Commander-in-Chief without hesitation.
Vanguard?
A pincer attack from both sides?
Was this a joke?
"Why not? The Tubo army only sent 30,000 troops. Is the marshal worried too much?”The vice commander-in-chief said with a doubtful tone.
A mere Xi Liang Country had a total population of only 30,000 to 40,000. Why was there a need to be so cautious?
This was too much of a big issue!
"Foolish! How much do you know about Western Liang?"
Seeing the suspicion on the vice commander-in-chief's face, even the other generals looked at Li Daozong suspiciously. They did not know what the famous King Jiang Xia was worried about.
"Marshal, Western Liang is just a tiny place. There's no need to worry so much!”
"This general feels that what the vice marshal said is reasonable. Marshal, please go!”
"Take down Western Liang and exterminate the foreign tribes!"
The few generals were all veterans of Liangzhou City. After being hinted by the vice commander-in-chief's gaze, they all spoke to Li Daozong.
Take down Western Liang?
Li Daozong's face was gloomy.
Yesterday's imperial edict was not quite right, and now seeing this situation, how could he not see what was going on?
There was clearly a problem!
He was being suspected!
At this moment, Li Daozong suddenly came to a realization.
"What a good Xi Liang King. Such methods really make this old man have no choice but to accept the challenge…"
Li Daozong muttered to himself as he looked at the people below him with a sharp gaze.
"Alright, reorganize the army and set off!”
