In the eyes of the Eastern Kingdoms, the Western Regions was originally regarded as a barbarian land where the dogs were entrenched, and it was a barren land. &1t;/p>

Later, Zhou destroyed the dog Rong, and because of the poverty and withering here, he did not have any thoughts about this land. &1t;/p>

Because at this time, the territory of the East was already vast, and there were still large tracts of fertile land in the interior that were uncultivated, let alone expanding the territory. &1t;/p>

Later, as the eastern world became more prosperous and the population gradually filled, border people began to accompany the army to open up to the west, and the Western Regions gradually had Han people. &1t;/p>

As a result, the Zhou Dynasty was divided, and the princes rose up. &1t;/p>

As the Zhou dynasty fell apart. &1t;/p>

Those ownerless border soldiers and border people rose up on their own and continued to hold on to the Great Wall, calling themselves the Great Wall Guards. &1t;/p>

Later, when the Tang Dynasty was established, Emperor Taizong incorporated the Great Wall Guards, set up Anxi and Beiting Protectorates, and stationed a large army in the King's Canyon, which was regarded as controlling a large area of land in the 36 countries of the Western Regions from the overall situation. &1t;/p>

However, in the eyes of the Orientals, those Hu people are even more wild than the Beiyi people, the land is barren, and in the large desert, the products and water sources are extremely scarce, and there is not much value for exploitation. &1t;/p>

Emperor Taizong ordered those small countries with a population of less than one county to bow down and pay tribute every year. &1t;/p>

Changing the reputation of a hundred countries to the dynasty is actually not profitable, and it often needs to be put into rewards to show the suzerainty of a great country. &1t;/p>

It was not until later that there was the Silk Road, and Western spices, Hetian jade, and good horses were sent to Chang'an, and then transferred to Song, Qin, Shu, Wei and other countries, and the value increased by thousands of times; &1t;/p>

According to the records of the Roman Empire, which was not divided at that time, in the market, each pound of silk could be exchanged for a sky-high price of about 12 taels of gold. &1t;/p>

Such a huge stake. &1t;/p>

The strategic significance of the Western Regions became more and more prominent, especially for the six countries in Datang, the financial revenue brought by this trade route became an important pillar to support the Datang Iron Cavalry. &1t;/p>

However, at that time, the Tang Dynasty had no intention of occupying the 36 countries of the Western Regions, and only strengthened the garrison to resist the Beiyi and the growing strength of the Great Eclipse, which began to impose heavy taxes on the caravans that passed. &1t;/p>

It can be said that the rise of the Silk Road, the only big country that is on the way to go, is the biggest beneficiary. &1t;/p>

Until the 36 countries of the Western Regions also prospered step by step along with the Silk Road, Shanshan, Cheshi and other great powers in the Western Regions gradually rose, and countries like Gaochang and Khorezm dominated one side, and even the Beiyi people could not help it. &1t;/p>

Just like a fattened piglet, Datang believes that it is finally time to harvest, so Li Ke has passed through the Western Regions, taking advantage of the crossing of the demon seed, and led the troops to level most of the small countries in the Western Regions in one fell swoop, and changed the state and county. &1t;/p>

Li Ke's series of measures are actually quite effective, most of the 36 countries in the Western Regions have now been abolished and counties, and the wider the jurisdiction of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate and the Anxi Imperial Protectorate, the more extensive it is than the Ten Dao of the Tang Dynasty. &1t;/p>

Great Wall &1t;/p>

Hua Mulan stared at the series of pillars of smoke that went straight into the sky in the distance, silently calculating the time when the enemy was born. &1t;/p>

Datang's "Feng Style" stipulates that the transmission degree of Feng smoke "must travel 2,000 miles in one day and night." “&1t;/p>

In the border area, there will be a beacon tower at a distance of ten miles, and because it is facing the Beiyi iron cavalry and the desert cavalry that come and go like the wind, the beacon fire transmission degree is even faster. &1t;/p>

Therefore, from the war, to the Great Wall, a total of 100 miles, less than an hour has passed since the appearance of the enemy. &1t;/p>

"It's only been an hour, and I'm in time. She said softly, "Kai, you and Su Lie immediately take three thousand patrolmen out of the city to support Mogu Fengsui. ”&1t;/p>

"The last general commanded. "Kai and Su Lie hugged their fists. &1t;/p>

At the time of the invasion of the Beiyi army, many beacons on the border had been abandoned and had not yet been rebuilt, so it was difficult for the Great Wall to grasp the enemy's movements and would not provide any support for further afield. &1t;/p>

But near the Great Wall, Mulan will never let the enemy wreak havoc, this is her duty to guard the town on behalf of Broken Leaves, and it is also the duty of the Great Wall guards - to protect the people of the Han family. &1t;/p>

In the past, it was enough for the guards to defend the Great Wall, but now, they need to defend a much larger land. &1t;/p>

After the previous war, many militias were officially incorporated into the ranks of the patrolmen, and the number of patrolmen increased dramatically to more than 10,000, but the combat effectiveness did not increase but declined. &1t;/p>

The armor rode on the tall war horse, and Su Lie followed closely behind, carrying a horizontal sword and a horse lance. &1t;/p>

Flags, helmets, and cloaks flutter in the wind. &1t;/p>

The phoenix bird banner hunts. &1t;/p>

Three thousand iron rode out of the Great Wall. &1t;/p>

...... &1t;/p>

The battle in the beacon has now reached the point of hand-to-hand combat. &1t;/p>

The big cannibals are good at shooting, and in the long war with the imperial knights, the shaped iron cavalry derived from it is more capable of fighting than the ordinary Beiyi cavalry, but when it comes to foot soldiers, it is far less elite than the Tang army. &1t;/p>

The important reason why the Tang Dynasty armor is the best in the world is that the Tang army is mostly located in the northwest, and the people's customs are fierce, but more importantly, it is because the Tang Dynasty smelted iron and the soldiers were well-equipped. &1t;/p>

The cold and bright horizontal knife could often split the square wooden shield held by the big cannibal, let alone the short spear in their hand. &1t;/p>

Those armor soldiers with long-handled Mo knives in their hands lined up in two columns, across the city gate, and the intruding Dashi soldiers seemed to have crashed directly into a meat grinder, flesh and blood flowed, and in a short time, the city gate was densely filled with corpses. &1t;/p>

But there are simply too many big cannibals. &1t;/p>

As more and more of them grew, the soldiers of the Great Eclipse, dressed in linen and white cloth and chanting prayers in their mouths, rushed up, and the Tang army in the beacon gradually became smaller and smaller, and in the end, even the seriously wounded put down their crossbow machines, sat at the mouth of the beacon with their swords, and resisted the enemy together with the robe. &1t;/p>

Li Yang's eyes were blood-red, he was scattered, his helmet had long flown away, a bloody wound on the top of his head extended to the top of his eyes, and the blood that flowed down covered his face. &1t;/p>

At his feet, more than a dozen corpses lay lying horizontally and vertically, piled up into a hill. &1t;/p>

Like a demon. &1t;/p>

The soldiers of the Great Cannibal gradually became timid, and did not dare to approach this mad Tang general, and he stood silently with his weapons in his hands as if he were dead. &1t;/p>

"Tunchang ......"&1t;/p>

A feeble murmur rang out. &1t;/p>

Li Yang turned his head mechanically, and saw that the last Tang soldier in the beacon fell under the short spear and scimitar of the big cannibal, and the sound of sharp weapons penetrating the flesh was clearly audible, it was a fellow villager he brought, three years younger than him, who had just married a wife in the family, and was said to be a woman from a scholar's family, which often attracted the envy of many colleagues, but now it was ....... &1t;/p>

He was stunned and said, "It's all dead...... I'm damned too. ”&1t;/p>

He remembered that when they had just come to the frontier, he swore to them: "In June next year, we will be able to go home with our reward, and then we will all be able to share the land, copper coins, and cloth, and the fathers, mothers-in-law, and children of the family will have a good life." ”&1t;/p>

It's just that half of the brothers have been broken before half of the year has passed, and now another month has passed, and finally all the bones are buried in this foreign land, and since then they have become a group of lonely ghosts. &1t;/p>

"...... next June," he said softly, "I can't wait for this life." ”&1t;/p>

Suddenly, he heard a muffled grunt and screams. &1t;/p>

I saw that the formation behind the big cannibal was suddenly chaotic, a white-clothed swordsman was holding a blue long sword, and where he passed, the big cannibal turned on his back, and those cavalrymen in iron armor could not stop him, as for those ordinary foot soldiers, in front of him they were like mantis arms as a car, sweeping a large area. &1t;/p>

The white-clothed swordsman's palm was slightly raised, and the next moment, like a clone, left countless afterimages in the place he passed, and the hands of the afterimages fell together. &1t;/p>

Bang -&1t;/p>

At this moment, I don't know how many heads were smashed. &1t;/p>

When Li Yang came back to his senses, there were only three people left in this land who were still standing: himself, the white-clothed swordsman, and the main general of the Great Cannibal. &1t;/p>

In the eye, it is a corpse. &1t;/p>

The white-clothed swordsman looked coldly at the bearded general who was riding on the back of a camel with a shocked look on his face: "Leave your life to go back and tell your emperor, whoever offends me in the Tang Dynasty will be punished even if he is far away." Today's generous gift, Li Bai will be returned ten times in the coming day!"&1t;/p>

The bearded general trembled, as if he had thought of something, and without even saying a word, he turned his horse and galloped away...... The man who almost assassinated the King of Beiyi Khan?&1t;/p>

Didn't you say he's dead?&1t;/p>

Thinking of this, he almost didn't even have the strength to go to the horse. &1t;/p>

Li Bai came to Li Yang's face. &1t;/p>

Li Yang's lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, and only after a while did he spit out three words: "Li Duwei?"&1t;/p>

Li Bai was silent, and did not explain that he was no longer the captain of the Great Wall Guards, but just nodded. &1t;/p>

He showed an ugly smile: "It's really you...... I have no regrets about dying, but I still want to go home to see, when I left, the child was just a week old, and now that I think about it, I should be able to go to the ground. ”&1t;/p>

His body pushed the mountain of gold and fell to his knees like a jade pillar. &1t;/p>

Li Yang's pupils gradually dilated, his luster disappeared, the hand that raised his hand fell, and the last words in his mouth were "I really want to go home and see", and muddy tears flowed down his cheeks. &1t;/p>

No more sound. &1t;/p>

Li Bai was silent for a long time, and said softly: "The bird flies against his hometown, and the fox will die." If the border people of the Great Wall died in battle, they would still die at their own doorstep, but these soldiers from Henan Province would have died in a foreign land. ”&1t;/p>

"It would be better if this war ended sooner. ”&1t;/p>
