The drums of war rumbled, the birds and beasts dispersed, and the land of Gorgan became the site of a confrontation between two of the most powerful armies in the world overnight.

To the north, there is an endless grassland, and to the south, you can faintly see the rolling hills. The breeze blows slowly, the grass waves drift with it, and if it weren't for the sound of drums and horses, this is really a paradise to avoid all troubles.

Qin Jin sat on his war horse, and under his feet was a small hill, although the terrain was not very high, but it could see the whole situation.

Da Shi's soldiers and horses were gathered ten miles southwest from here, although the distance was not close, but because there was no mountain forest to cover them, they could clearly see the movement of their troops.

Zheng Xianli once reminded him not to put on such a big show, to win without a fight, or to achieve the greatest result at the lowest cost.

But Qin Jin responded with a smile:

Of course, it's good to win by strategy, but after all, we can't be stationed in the Western Regions, and if we leave, what will happen? Therefore, this battle must not only be won, but also play the prestige and reputation of the Shenwu Army, even if it is thousands of miles away, so that they will tremble just when they hear our name!

In this regard, Zheng Xianli was silent, and he suddenly found that the strength of the Shenwu Army seemed to have exceeded his imagination. Compared with his own caution, Qin Jin's style of using troops in the Western Regions was diametrically opposed, almost as he pleased, opening and closing.

It is precisely this style of using soldiers that has repeatedly achieved fruitful results, and in just half a year, Tianzhu has become the territory of Datang.

Obviously, Qin Jin did not intend to implement a policy of restraint on Tianzhu, but appointed a governor with the seal of the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty and sent envoys to Jiedu, which seemed to be as dedicated as the Western Regions.

The open space between the two armies was interspersed with rangers from both sides, who sometimes touched and sometimes chased, and if they were not careful, they would be knocked off their horses by a rapid burst of arrows.

"Prime Minister, the big cannibals are gathering more and more, when will we go to war?"

A Persian in costume who followed behind Qin Jin asked with a flattering face. This is Abu, as a Persian reused by the Qin and Jin dynasties, he has been appointed as the governor of Balochistan, and this time he led his troops westward in order to cooperate with the Shenwu army and completely crush the military power of the Great Cannibal in Khorasan.

He knew that if he wanted to secure the position of governor of Balochistan, he would have to defeat all the armies of the Great Cannibal in Khorasan. Otherwise, Balochistan, as a province close to the Great Eclipse, will inevitably become the target of retaliatory attacks.

Therefore, all the governors appointed by Abubi worked hard.

Like Abu, there is a special group that follows Qin and Jin, that is, the generals of the Yousufu line.

It's just that these people have complex backgrounds, and their minds may not be simple, and they have not been reused by Qin Jin.

The most representative figure in this is the former Ye Gu Dulu of the Grolu tribe.

With the successive successes of the Shenwu Army's operations in Tocharian and Tianzhu, his role and status have become more and more marginalized, and he is still a small centurion.

This is called how can Ye Hu, who once called for wind and rain and was a blessing, be willing?

Even Mo Jianlian, who replaced him as the protector of Glolu Ye, was given the official status of the fifth grade, which made him anxious and jealous, and the only way to get out of this situation was to gain Qin Jin's trust and reuse.

During the march to Tocharian and Tianzhu, the Grolu people had been left behind to supervise the defense of the city, and this time they were allowed to participate in the battle against the Great Cannibal, and they were seen as an opportunity that could not be given up.

"Prime Minister, the villain is willing to lead a team of 100 people to destroy all these annoying snakes and rats!"

Pointing to the looming Great Food Ranger in front of him, his bones were ruthless.

Qin Jin glanced at him, to be honest, he didn't have a good impression of these Grolu people, and he didn't even have the most basic trust, the reason why he kept them was out of the overall situation of stabilizing the various departments of the grassland in the river, otherwise it would not be a big deal to kill all these unstable factors.

It's just that Gu Lulu is obviously unwilling to accept his current situation, and repeatedly strives for opportunities to perform meritorious services, which makes Qin Jin notice him.

If blindly suppressing and restricting is equivalent to pushing Gu Lulu to the big cannibal, it is better to give him a chance to vent, and whether he can achieve it depends on his ability and creation.

The cavalry of the big cannibals is not a weak chicken to be kneaded, and whether they can win or not depends on their creation.

"Okay, allow you to fight!"

Like a wolf that has been hungry for a long time, Gu Lulu rushed out with his subordinates.

The Great Food Ranger did not expect to suddenly rush out of a team of 100 cavalry, and immediately scattered to dodge, not because they were afraid, but as a tactic to deal with, one of their best tactics was the Parthian whirlwind shot, dodging while arrows were fired at the Grolos.

Gu Lulu didn't care about this, the iron armor he was wearing was enough to withstand the shot of a longbow within fifty paces, and even if the arrows landed on his body, it was only a flesh wound, and he took the lead, vowing to kill a few big cannibals himself to vent his hatred.

Sure enough, seeing that the comers were not good, the Great Food Rangers did not intend to confront them head-on, so they withdrew one after another.

For a moment, Gu Lulu had a feeling of punching the air, and the imaginary head-on battle did not happen, and the Great Food Ranger was as slippery as a catfish.

Qin Jin, who was watching the battle in the rear, soon noticed Gu Lulu's predicament and ordered the war drums to beat to help him.

Hearing that the rumbling of the war drums behind him intensified, Gu Lulu's spirit was shocked, and he immediately slapped his horse and chased after him, but it was not okay to go back like this!

"Kill, kill all these stupid donkeys!"

The local people are popular to scold people with stupid donkeys, and the bones are also learned and sold!

Grolu's soldiers were also screaming, they had been in the rear for a long time, there was no trophy to be enriched, and they were all poor jingles, even if they cut a few heads of stupid donkeys and went back in exchange for military merit and reward.

Therefore, despite the strategic evacuation and evasion of the Great Food Ranger, the Groloku Centurion still clung to it.

The Great Food Ranger had no choice but to gather together and wait for an opportunity to launch a counterattack against the Grolo.

Seeing that a war drum had played a role, Qin Jin smiled slightly and looked at Zheng Xianli beside him.

"How? It's not useless!"

Zheng Xianli nodded and said:

"Prime Minister, don't forget the defeat of Talas, these people are all wolves!"

Qin Jin was just about to speak, but a herald came to report and caught more than a dozen spies, who seemed to be from the Khazars north of the river.

"The Khazars have been involved, as far as I know, they have always been at odds with the Great Cannibals!"

Zheng Xianli said curiously.

"Prime minister, general, and among them there is a Persian who claims to be the Persian prince Kuth ......"

"Old Kuth?"

Qin Jin and Zheng Xianli actually spat out at the same time.
