In addition, Li Rong, the king of Yun, also ridiculed Li Yongchen's behavior, saying that he was stupid beyond his own strength, and he knew that he could not do it, but in the end he failed to exchange for the punishment of his descendants, just because the prime minister was magnanimous.

After the Yong'an King incident, the clan that was still relying on the old Ten Kings' Mansion finally gave up resistance, obediently obeyed the arrangement of the Zongzheng Mansion, and moved to the newly built Ten Kings' Mansion. An incident that might have caused turmoil in the hearts of the clan ended so unexpectedly.

……

In Zhangye, in the middle of Hexi, the weather is hot and dry in the summer, and the flax and millet seedlings on both sides of the road become listless because of this. Groups of strangely dressed cavalry whizzed by, mixed with the murky sound of horses' hooves and the occasional murmuring language.

These are invaders from the west, with the successive fall of Shazhou, Guazhou, and Suzhou, Zhangye of the Hexi Jiedu Envoy is in the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, and has not seen the sword soldiers for many years, and he is also the first to face the invaders.

The invaders were mainly the Great Eaters, and the dependents were the Sogdians, Turgish, and Grolu of the River generation, all of whom had suffered from the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and now they could take revenge while the eastern giants were too busy to calm the chaos.

However, since the leader of the coalition forces was the Great Cannibal from the western part of the Western Regions, the massacre and looting they advocated could not be carried out for various reasons. Because the Great Eclipse is a newly powerful tribe in the west of the Western Regions, destroying almost all the powerful countries in the west of the Western Regions, even the once invincible Persians can only prostrate themselves and become slaves at their feet, who else can stop them?

Since he succeeded his father, he has changed his previous strategy of relying on the Tang Dynasty, and instead relied on the newly rising cannibals, trying to get a piece of the pie in the Western Regions, which is what the Tang Dynasty said.

Ten years ago, the Tang Dynasty and the allied forces of the Western Regions were defeated by the Great Cannibals in Talas, and Gu Lu Oh played a crucial role in it, he witnessed the Tang Dynasty Festival, which was once invincible, and even wiped out several countries, so that Gao Xianzhi was like a lost dog, tired of fleeing, and tens of thousands* became captives of the Great Cannibals, and after that war, there were suddenly many small-eyed and yellow-skinned Tang people in the slave market in Khorasan.

As a result, the Qarluq tribe was given a large area of fertile land and pastures in the eastern part of the Fergana Valley.

In the third year after Gao Xianzhi's defeat, the new Jiedu envoy Feng Changqing raised troops to destroy the Bolu Kingdom controlled by Tubo, which made Gu Lulu panic for fear of retaliation from the Tang Dynasty, and it was difficult to live in panic.

However, he soon found that his worries were unnecessary, because only two years later, a rebellion broke out within the Tang Dynasty that swept through half of the country, and the border armies of Anxi and Hexi were all transferred inward, and a large ruling vacuum appeared in the Western Regions in a short period of time.

Abu Abbas, the governor of the Great Food in Khorasan, was keenly aware of this situation and sent the general Yusuf Sahra to carry out a tentative attack on the Tang Dynasty......

The Great Eclipse was the Tang Dynasty's name for the newly rising powers in the western regions of the Western Regions in the past hundred years, and they claimed to be the Abbasids, invincible and almost invincible in the East and West.

Gu Lulu untied the skin bag containing water from his waist, poured it in a big gulp, and then sighed happily. I have always heard that the land in the east of the Tang Dynasty is warm and humid, and I didn't expect this land to be so hot.

After the general Yusuf sent by the Great Cannibal besieged Zhangye, he did not spend manpower to attack the city, but only besieged but did not attack, trying to lure the resistance in the city to surrender. However, it is said that there was a governor sent by the Tang Dynasty in Zhangye City, who was a very tough person who planned to live and die with the city.

Yusuf did not know what the governor was, so he explained it as the governor of the Great Food.

Overjoyed to learn that a Tang governor was besieged in the city of Zhangye, Yusuf planned to capture the Tang governor alive and send him back to Tessiphon to show off his prowess in the East.

Of course, Gu Lulu is willing to be a pawn of the big horse, not only to target the Tang Dynasty and get a piece of the pie in the Western Regions, he also has a more realistic competitor, that is, the Turgish people who are rampant in the same generation in the two rivers, if they can't drive away the brave and warlike Turgish people, Glolu will never live in peace.

It's a pity that the Tuqi Shi people are not stupid, and when they saw that the Tang Dynasty was weak in the Western Regions, they abandoned the Tang Dynasty and changed their doors to join the Great Cannibals.

The Great Cannibals also valued the Turkish Division, which had great strength in the Two Rivers generation, and gladly received them.

Spearheaded by these two nearly most powerful tribes, the tribes of the Western Regions have thrown themselves into the increasingly powerful cannibals. This time, Yousuf led an army of 100,000 to attack the land west of the Tang Dynasty, of which there were only 30,000 Great Food Soldiers, and the rest were all allied forces.

The Tang Dynasty's Hexi Jiedu envoy's seat was originally in Liangzhou, but because of the internal transfer of the border army, the Tang Dynasty's control over the Western Regions was greatly reduced in a short period of time.

However, the troops of Hexi have been repeatedly transferred inward, until they are exhausted, where can they maintain the previous deterrence against the Western Regions?

Facts have proved that the Tang Dynasty has not only lost its deterrence against the Western Regions, but even Hexi has become difficult to maintain. The Great Food Coalition army marched eastward almost without encountering a strong counterattack, that is, under the city of Zhangye, Yousufu changed his previous tactics in order to capture the governor of the Tang Dynasty alive.

Despite his deep hostility towards the Turgish, when he saw the Turgish Pontar Khan approaching with his men, he immediately smiled and embraced his most powerful potential adversary like an old friend.

"General Yusuf personally promised that after breaking through Zhangye, the gold, silver and women in the city will be taken by us!"

Obviously, Pontel was very satisfied with Yusuf's promise, and they followed Da Shi to help, what they wanted was to loot money and population, and if they had been watching the rich Tang Dynasty cities not loot, I am afraid that the people would rebel

Gu Lu snorted disdainfully.

"That Tang man fell out of favor in front of General Yusuf?"

"Who knows, General Yousuf promised to escort him back to Chang'an, but every time he promised not to loot gold, silver, goods and women along the way, right?"

Speaking of the Tang Dynasty man who had been following Yousufu's side, Gu Lulu and Pontler, two people with their own ghosts, actually showed a disdainful smile at the same time.

"That Tang man claimed to be the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and it is said that he lost the position of prince only after being usurped by traitors, alas, the dignified heavenly khan will also rely on the sniff of the great cannibal from now on......"

Ponteler mentioned that this Tang Dynasty prince who was attached to the big cannibal looked very emotional. Gu Lulu thinks that there is nothing strange about this, the throne has always been occupied by the capable, this person was ousted from the position of the crown prince, which means that he is a weak and bullying person, even if he relies on the coalition led by Yusuf to regain the position of the crown prince that belongs to him, sooner or later he will have to be driven down by others.

Ponteler grinned.

"In that case, what will Ye Hu take his place?"

This is ironic, although Glolu is a very powerful tribe in the Lianghe generation, but in the face of the powerful Tang Dynasty, it is still unable to match head-on.

However, Gu Lulu obviously doesn't think so, although the camel is big, it is helpless against the sand ants, the key is only timing, luck. Now, when the Tang Dynasty was at its weakest, and with the powerful and almost invincible opponent of Da Shi, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Grolu Division.

The Tang Dynasty's Anxi and Hexi were so far away from the cannibal capital of Tai Xifeng that even if they conquered these lands, they could only set up a governor to rule on their behalf, just like Khorasan in Persia.

What Gu Dulu hopes to seek is the position of this governor, and in the future, in the name of the Great Food, the small countries will naturally not dare to resist, even if the Tang Dynasty has fallen off the altar, it has to weigh whether it can withstand another battle with the Great Food.

Thinking of this, Gu Dulu glanced at the annoying Pontel, this person is his biggest competitor, it seems that if he wants to be the governor of the East, he must first drive the Turgish out of the river, no, completely conquer the Turgish!

He wondered if Ponteler had done the same at this time.

A large food official came with his retinue, speaking Turkic in an obscure Persian accent that everyone could understand.

"General Yusuf has summoned you, there is an urgent military situation!"

Hearing that there was an emergency military situation, Gu Lulu was not only not nervous, but very excited, is he finally going to storm Zhangye City?

When he came to Yusuf's big tent, Gu Dulu found that there was an Persian in front of Yusuf that he didn't know, who should have just arrived from the west.

The generals in the Great Tent were all exchanging seemingly heated questions in Persian, and Yusuf occasionally burst out some big food words. At this time, Gu Lulu felt that he was being slighted, and it was his most difficult moment, because he could not understand what these generals from Dashi and Persia were saying, so he had no right to speak, and could only obediently obey their military orders like a good dog.

Of course, Gu Lulu was not reconciled, and tried to learn Persian and the Great Food Language, but he gave up after a few days, and such a boring and extremely tedious study almost drove him crazy.

Finally, an interpreter said in Turkic:

"Ge Luolu Ye led his troops and horses to the northern foot of the Biandu Pass of Qilian Mountain, to prevent the Tang people from crossing Qilian Mountain and launching a surprise attack!

This arrangement is not problematic in terms of overall strategy, but it is very problematic in Gululu's view. How can his own Qarlu tribe go to the northern foot of Qilian Mountain, a place where birds don't, but let the Tuqi Shi department attack the rich Liangzhou, how can it make people psychologically balanced?
