Originally, such a threat was of little effect, mainly because there was a water source on the top of the mountain, and the mountain was not small. But the problem is that in order to convince them, Yang An specially launched an attack, this time, dumping a large amount of oil on the first line of defense of the Qiu Chi army. Then, the raging fire burned endlessly, and although Qiu Chijun took water to extinguish the fire, it was to no avail, but burned more and more vigorously. In this case, it is like a magic fire for these people, plus the Tang Army used this kind of thing during the war between the Tang Army and the Yan Kingdom, and many rumors have already spread this matter to the gods.

Therefore, those who originally planned to defend the top of the mountain became more and more uneasy. They persuaded Yang Shi to surrender in order to save his life. But Yang Shi didn't agree, because the general of the Tang Army outside was Yang An, and he had an enmity with him!

Since Yang Shi didn't agree, for the sake of his own life, the rest of the people had no choice. After they deliberated for a while, they decided to tie up Yang Shi and send him to the bottom of the mountain to surrender.

As a result, the last foundation of the Qiu Chi State was also lost, and the Qiu Chi State was completely destroyed for nearly a hundred years.

With the pacification of Qiu Chi State, it means that the last piece of territory in the Tang Dynasty has also been completed. In the past, due to the obedience of Qiu Chiguo, Li Xin did not touch Qiu Chiguo, who was near Guanzhong.

Originally, I wanted to wait until the wars in other parts of the world were over, and then find a way to solve the problem of Qiu Chi Country, but Qiu Chi Country didn't know the number of days, and if he jumped out by himself, it would be no wonder to himself.

When Li Xin was sitting in Beizhonglu County, Xiangyang County, good news came from all over the country.

In August, after Zhou Tong pacified Yizhou, he immediately ordered Liu Dang to wave his army eastward, and fought until Qutang Pass and Hanguan, occupied the White Emperor City, and occupied Badong County. The Tang army's troops in Yizhou were advanced to the west of Jingzhou, thus posing a threat to Jianchang, Nanjun, Xiangyang and other places in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.

In the south of Yizhou, it is bounded by the Yangtze River, which is basically arranged as a defensive matter. For the time being, the Tang army will not continue to move south.

After receiving the news, Li Xin immediately ordered Wang Meng and others to send capable officials to the receiving place in Liangyi Erzhou. At the same time, a group of town troops were mobilized from Qinzhou and other places to enrich the local forces and guard local security.

As long as there is enough time, Liangyi Erzhou will inevitably settle down, and when the time comes, Datang will get the help of the country of abundance, and its strength will inevitably become even stronger.

As for the land of Qiuchi Country, it was also directly ordered to be changed to Qiuchi County, and the officials are receiving it in an orderly manner. The entire western and southwestern regions of Datang have basically settled down.

After solving the matter of Liang Yi Erzhou, Li Xin shifted most of his attention to Jiangzuo and Liangzhou.

First, he ordered Zhao Ji and Chen Kang to hold on to the spot, build a defensive line to prevent the Jin army's counterattack, and not attack again for the time being. At the same time, 50,000 troops were dispatched south from the rear to replenish the forces south of the Yellow River and east of the Nanyang Basin to confront the Jin army.

The second is to formally order Hu Tian to be the general of the expedition to the west and lead an army of 40,000 to launch a counteroffensive against Liangzhou.

At the same time, he ordered Sun Tie, who was stationed in Shuofang County, to be the general of Pingxi, and secretly led 10,000 cavalry from Shuofang through the north of Helan Mountain, from the north of the desert to the west of Saixi, and attacked the north of Wuwei County, thus bypassing the blockage of Gulangxia Pass.

Sun Tie's road was the route taken by Huo Qubing when he attacked the Turks and seized the Hexi Corridor. It's just that Huo Qu's illness back then was from the south of Helan Mountain, that is, from the area of Yuanwei County into the desert to the west, and this time Sun Tie went farther away.

The attack on Liangzhou was relatively sudden, mainly because Liangzhou had been attacking Anyuanbao before, and the Tang army led by Hu Tian was on the defensive. Especially when everyone knows that at this time, Li Xinzheng and Jiang Zuo are in the middle of the battle, and it is impossible to have the spare strength to attack themselves.

Therefore, when Hu Tian launched a counterattack, Zhang Xuanliang had not yet reacted that this was a sign that Li Xin was going to destroy him, and only thought that it was the instinctive reaction of the Tang army.

In the battle outside Anyuan Fort, the 30,000 troops sent by Zhang Xuanliang to attack the Tang army were all wiped out, and only a few people fled back to Gulangxia Pass. After that, Hu Tian began to officially attack Gulangxia Pass, and the offensive and defensive momentum of the war was completely reversed at once.

At the end of August, when the fighting in other parts of the world had basically subsided, Sun Tie led his army to suddenly enter the territory of Wuwei County.

Gu Zang was terrified for a while, Zhang Xuanliang, who was originally resisting Hu Tian on the front line, heard the news, and hurriedly drew out a part of the soldiers and horses from the army that was firmly guarding Gulang Gorge Pass~ and personally led it back to help Guzang City.

And it was taking advantage of this opportunity that Hu Tian sent some elite soldiers to climb over the high mountains on the side, so that the inside and outside should take down this pass. After losing the protection of Gulangxia Pass, the entire Hexi Corridor was completely exposed to the eyes of the Tang Army.

Hu Tian got the news that Sun Tie had arrived, and immediately ordered to speed up the attack, in addition to leaving 10,000 troops behind to slowly sweep the Liang army, so as to ensure that the back road was unblocked. He personally led the remaining 30,000 troops to Guzang City, and finally, at the beginning of September, Zhang Xuanliang and other Liangzhou men and horses were surrounded in Guzang City.

The reason for this is mainly because the 10,000 cavalry led by Sun Tie cut off the roads leading the Hexi Corridor to the Western Regions and other places. Therefore, Zhang Xuanliang and others originally planned to flee to Gaochang, Shanshan and other places in the Western Regions when they could not hold on.

In this case, since there is no way to escape, there is naturally only a decisive battle. Zhang Xuanliang concentrated all the forces of Liangzhou near the Hexi Corridor, about 100,000 people, and fought with Hu Tiansun Tie outside Guzang City.

The battle between Hu Tian and Zhang Xuanliang was a decisive battle for the demise of the Liangzhou forces.

In this battle, Zhang Xuanliang's soldiers and horses were numerous, especially there were many cavalry, not only cavalry on horseback, but also camel cavalry. The total number of these cavalry amounted to about half of the entire army.

Such a proportion of foot riders is very staggering, and in other places, except for Daizhou and other places in the north, it is impossible to reach this number at all. Fortunately, these people were basically forcibly pinched together temporarily, and it was impossible for them to be as disciplined and smooth as the Tang Army.

What's more, for the cavalry, the Tang army was not afraid at all. Originally, Hu Tian had been stationed in Jincheng for many years, and he had already known the characteristics of Liangzhou's soldiers and horses. So, I've been intensifying my training over the years.
