On the way from Liangzhou to Yumen Pass, there are more and more bare vegetation.

Wu Yueya looked at the gray sky, picked up the kettle, took a few sips by herself, and then moistened her mouth with Da Bairun.

"Your Highness, the Yumen Pass is now in the hands of the Uighurs, and their guards heard that they grew up eating wolf meat, and they are from an unknown tribe called Hemu, who is fierce by nature, but he is only a force force, and I heard that his head is not very good!"

Zuo Zhishu followed Cen Shen and said in a cheerful tone.

Rubbing his shoulders, it has been fifteen days since he set off from Liangzhou, passing through the desolate Ganzhou, from the mountains, to a more reckless territory, loess can be seen everywhere, hearing Zuo Zhishu's idea of looking down on the Yumen guard, and did not speak, but Cen Shen retorted at this time.

"General Zuo, whether you fight or not, don't underestimate the other party, not to mention that you can come from a small tribe and come to Yumen Pass as a guard, you should have some ability, and Cen heard that this person knows the tactics of wolves and likes to use the terrain to surprise soldiers, so you need to be cautious!"

Zuo Zhishu couldn't deny it, but he still patted the iron grenade tied to his waist, and said with a smug smile, "It doesn't matter what kind of wolf dog he is, feed him one directly, let them eat, and they must go around!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Chu Er laughed.

Wu Yue Aya glanced at Chu Er in surprise, and said secretly in her heart, usually the laughter is so high, but when you get to the book of Zuo, it becomes a little low, it must be that you are tired, forget it, even if you are tired, you will not open it, just look at it slowly.

"The recovery of Yumen Pass this time is to break the blockade and transport the materials to the military camp in the Tianshan Mountains, they are now trapped in it and cannot extricate themselves, we must ensure that we will be their backing, let them be active in the Tianshan Mountains, and wait until the Tang Dynasty stabilizes, and then send troops to the Western Regions to recover the lost land!"

Hearing His Royal Highness's plans and intentions, Cen Shen and Zuo Zhishu both had their eyes shining, and they were looking forward to the day when they sent troops to the Western Regions, Longyou Dao was completely divided between Tubo and Uighurs, and Fanyang was also occupied by the Khitans.

Above the slowly marching military formation, a harrier eagle spun down and landed on the shoulder of a sergeant guarding the cage, who was the intelligence leader of the Black Armor Army.

He took a piece of dried meat from the cloth bag, soaked it in water, and brought it to the harrier's beak while rubbing the harrier's wings with a certain rhythm, and soon the harrier eagle, which was irritable from the flight, was obedient, and removed a bamboo tube from its leg.

Opening the bamboo tube, Shao Tianlin read it carefully, and rode to the princess, "Your Highness, the information sent by the spies planted in Luoqi City!" ”

"Well, you say!"

A gust of wind and sand blew, and Wu Yueya let go of the hand covering her mouth and nose and commanded.

Shao Tan Lin was slightly stunned, looked at the two generals accompanying him, and began to narrate the contents of the letter after understanding the princess's intentions.

"Tubo Zampu was furious in the court, and it is said that he directly cut off the heads of several black-clothed guards, saying that they were not doing well and failed to assassinate the princess of the protector in Chang'an! And they seem to be gathering the forces of the twelve tribes to do something, according to the analysis of the restaurant shopkeeper, many grain and grass convoys are heading to the direction of Yubencheng, if nothing else, it should be to meet with my Tang soldiers! ”

When Cen Shen heard this, his eyebrows furrowed, and Zuo Zhishu was also stunned, but the two of them still calmed down, and they expected it, but they didn't expect each other to come directly.

Wu Yueya was also a little stunned, and now she planned to attack the Yumen Pass and recover the pass, but she didn't expect Tubo to make another big move, which was really troublesome.

"General Cen, the recovery of Yumen Pass this time is a definite move, you will need to defend it at that time, it may take several years, and our next stop is Suzhou, across the Qilian Mountains, and it is becoming more and more desert here!"

"Yes, Your Highness, rest assured, the ministers will do their best to become the first line of defense of Datang!"

Cen Shen said excitedly, to be able to serve such a master, he was also full of emotion to look in the faint direction of the sun behind, to the east, if there is a chance, you must go to the cemetery of He Gong to pay respects, such an achievement, He Gong's grace, the princess promotion, are unforgettable.

Wu Yueya looked at Cen Shen, and sighed slightly in her heart, she could only wronged him at that time, guarding the desert border, not only to suffer in loneliness, but also to compete with the strong enemies who came to attack, but he was also a human being, where did she have a sense of belonging in a different place, she inexplicably gave birth to a kind of idea of stepping on the border of these Hu tribes and returning home with the soldiers.

"General Cen, it only takes three years to guard the border passes, and after three years, you write a dispatch order to return to Chang'an, so that the right general can take over your burden, and it's actually not bad to go back to your hometown once in a while!"

Cen Shen was a little moved when he heard this, and smiled heroically, "Your Highness's heart Cen Shen has received it, Hu Nu is not broken, how can the strong man return home!" ”

Wu Yueya could only gesture with her hand, admiring Cen Shen's ambition.

After another seven or eight days, they came to the city gate of Suzhou, and from a distance they could see that the walls were covered with Uighur wolf banners, and it was clear that there were soldiers stationed in the city.

Wu Yueya ordered to set up a formation, and as soon as the artillery rang out, he charged directly.

Because Suzhou is in the desert, it is an earthen city, which has been baptized by wind and sand all the year round, and the city walls are uneven and do not look very solid.

Hearing the sound of the killing, the Uighur defenders immediately rushed to the city wall, looking at the black tide that swept in, and immediately panicked, in the vast desert, the moving black figures were endless.

The gray sky seemed to be thunder and lightning, and dazzling sparks were gathering at the city gates.

Wu Yueya watched the battle from a distance, the artillery bombarded the city gate, and not long after, under a wave of arrows, the black armor army had already captured the city gate.

After half a day of fighting, the thick smoke and dust dissipated at the head of the city, and the Uighur soldiers stationed in Suzhou were no more than 10,000, but under the attack of more than 200,000 Black Armor troops, they collapsed rapidly, and the Black Armor cavalry pursued for more than 300 miles, killing all the Uighur deserters who resisted.

After repairing in Suzhou for three or four days, Wu Yueya left Agati and his party plus 50,000 defenders, and personally led an army of 150,000 to Yumen Pass.

On the way, the letter eagle of the Tianshan Mountains flew down and spread the news that the Uighur prince Ye Hu led 200,000 Uighur iron horsemen to Yumen Pass, and set out from the Uighur tent ten days ago, as if he knew about the defeat of Liangzhou, so he wanted to strengthen the garrison of Yumen Pass, and may have other purposes.

Wu Yueya calculated that it would take at least a month for the other party to arrive at Yumen Pass, and at that time, she had already recovered and built a defense line at Yumen Pass, and at this moment, she had already seen this ancient pass.
