Chapter 176 (2/2)

At the same time, it can continue to shake the influence of the Tang Dynasty in the western regions, and make the Tang Dynasty in the crack between their ashnatsuzhi and the Tubo in the south, become self-contained and difficult.”Is mingchongyan and Du Yuanji here?” After returning to his capital, Li Hong immediately asked Fang Zhan and Heng Qiao, who came here this morning.

”I arrived at Menyuan town half a month ago.” Fang Zhan replied respectfully.

”What was the result?”

”This is a letter from mingchongyan to you. Let me tell you at the end that the stone of Qilian Mountain is completely suitable for making cement, even more suitable than some stones in Central Plains.” Heng Qiao handed the letter to Li Hong and said.

Li Hong nodded silently, joking that Qilian mountain cement was famous in the last generation. It would be strange if the minerals in Qilian Mountain were not suitable for making cement.

”Tell them to speed up the time. Menyuan is in Yumen pass, bordering on the Tuyuhun occupied by Tubo. I have asked my father to send heavy troops to guard the town, so that they can catch up with them at ease.” Li Hong put down his letter and said lightly.

Fang Zhan and Heng Qiao should bow down.

Li Hong's idea is very simple. In the western regions, there are stones and stones, and now there is cement that can be delivered within ten days, then he can improve the defense of the western regions during Pei Xingjian's campaign, and build the four towns of Anxi into four huge castles! The huge barracks, like the Qilian Mountains and Kunlun Mountains, should become insurmountable obstacles.

Li Hong thought for a moment and continued: ”hengqiao sticks to the Tubo area, and any news should be sent to Kucha at the first time. Fang Zhan, now you need to sneak into asnaduzhi and find out their stronghold on the grassland. ”Jingwei” is short of staff. You can go to Bai Chun directly and she will give you support. ”

”Well Beheading... ” Fang Zhan thought about it and continued to ask.

”Beheading still needs to be done. Although it can't stop Tubo from invading our plan, it can delay them. After killing their general Zhang San, they will also find Li Si to lead the army to fight. However, as long as there are enough assassins, their generals will become more and more stupid. After all, no one in his family can be like a sheep herding sheep, and there are many excellent generals who are good at fighting, aren't they? ” Li Hong explained to them with a smile.

”Yes, I will understand. It is to consume them and fundamentally weaken their combat strength. As long as we can assassinate outstanding generals, their strength will be weakened by us. ” Heng Qiao looks at Li Hong and his eyes shine.

Now that ”myth” and ”Jingwei” have been merged, the ”myth” power of assassination is just like a myth. After merging into Jingwei, it has not done anything and has not yet demonstrated its terrifying power.

Now the prince's highness finally let go, so it's time for him to display his skills.

This winter, the weather is especially good. Pei Xingjian and others have already set out for three or four days. Li Hong does nothing in Kucha city. He goes to the city guard's office every day like he goes to work. Then, accompanied by the summer solstice and others, he inspects the city's defense.

The people of Kucha were full of doubts about the new general. No one believed that he could defend Kucha with such a man. Some people even began to secretly go to ashnatsu.

There are also many big families in Kucha city. Although they can't help Li Hong's city defense, it would be a good thing to help him stabilize the people's hearts.

Li Hong holds the list in his hand. In this small town of about 450000 people, there are more than a dozen famous families or big families. Moreover, none of them started their business. The number of guards for each family is as small as dozens, and even more than three or five hundred.

Thinking about whether this unstable force should be confiscated, the sound of an arrow that cuts through the sky in the direction of the north gate of Qiuci city suddenly rings in the sky.

”Go, go and have a look.” Li Hong pulled the horse in the hand of grain of grain, quickly turned the horse's head, jumped up, and flew away in the direction of the north gate tower like lightning.

After him, Huameng, mangzhong, Xiaoxue, Xiazhi and Banmei follow xunlan. At the same time, they turn over and mount their horses and run to the direction of the city tower.

The city tower built with loess is not very high, that is, it can resist the horses jumping in from the city. The water protecting the city outside the city has been frozen for a long time, so the horses don't have to worry about crushing them when they step on it.

”Such a thing?” Li Hong flies off his horse and looks at Quan Yi on the tower of the city. With a telescope, he is looking out of the city and asks in a loud voice.

”Daduhu, you see.” Quan Yi hands Li Hong the telescope.

Li Hong didn't reach out to take it. At the horizon of the distant grass, a cloud of smoke and dust, like a huge dark cloud in the summer sky, spread over the Yellow grassland.

”Asna Duzhi is really able to pick the right time. I really think that I, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, is made of clay and bullied better than Pei Xingjian?” Li Hong narrowed his eyes and looked at the rolling yellow fog that covered the sky and covered the Qiuci. A trace of cunning flashed in his eyes. He said, ”set up defense and snipe the crossbow.”
