A month passed in a blink of an eye, and in this month, Li Wenyuan deployed his troops to the border with the Western Turks, and at the same time replenished a large number of muskets and flasks to the guards of the Great Wall in the north and the army in the east.

"Have the armies of the various alliances arrived?" Sitting on the throne of the royal court, the Khan asked Hulu on the side that since Hulu was captured by Li Wenyuan, after Li Wenyuan took him and exchanged a large number of cattle and sheep for redemption, the Khan left Hulu by his side and no longer arranged for him to do some dangerous activities.

"Gaochang, Yanqi, and Qiuzi have arrived long ago because they are relatively close to the royal court, and the farthest Ankang, the army of Tocharian can arrive today, and Khotan will go to Shule first because of the detour of Tulun Moraine, and the armies of the two countries arrived yesterday, and now all the tribal armies have been stationed at the foot of Sanmi Mountain, waiting for the order of the Great Khan." One by one, Kulu introduced the armies of more than a dozen vassal states of the Western Turks to the Khan of Sheku.

The Khan nodded, he heard that the Shibi Khan of the Eastern Turks had retreated thousands of miles after being killed by the Han people under Yanmen County, and fled back to the steppe in a hurry, and he snickered in his heart. Previously, Shibi Khan had also sent people to humiliate his defeat to the Han Chinese, and now he himself was also defeated by the Han people. Next, he will gather an army to take revenge on Li Wenyuan in the Western Regions, and after defeating Li Wenyuan, he will send someone to the Eastern Turks to humiliate and come back, maybe when he becomes stronger, he can merge with the Eastern Turks and return to the position of the Great Khan of the Grassland.

"Khan, Li Liang of Yiwu County has surrendered, and he has also tied up our two thousand warriors and handed them over to Li Wenyuan, the governor of the Western Regions." At this time, bad news came.

In order to support Li Rail, the Great Khan gritted his teeth and sent 10,000 grassland warriors who were good at riding and archery to assist Li Rail in the battle, but in successive battles and two battles, these 10,000 people were lost, and the remaining 2,000 wounded soldiers were also tied up by Li Rail and sent to Li Wenyuan.

"All these hatreds will be returned to them after we defeat the Han people in the Western Regions, and then you Yiwu can also return to your own territory." With a calm face, the Khan said to a tribal chief on the side. This person is the chief of the Yiwu tribe who was driven out of his ancestral home by the Sui army and fled to the west to take refuge with the Western Turks, which is also the reason why the Western Turks declared war on the Great Sui this time.

"The traitor Li Rail, surrendered to the Great Sui Heavenly Soldiers, and the rebellion was all done by me alone, and I hope that the heavens will not involve others." Li Liang knelt in front of Li Wenyuan with a white beard, holding his seal ribbon with both hands.

"Your ministry will have a special person to investigate and deal with the rebellion, and this chief can't interfere, but there will definitely be no wronged people in this investigation." Li Wenyuan took Li Liang's ribbon and said softly.

"Thank you, Steward, for being lenient." Looking at the young man in front of him who had ruined almost all his plans, Li Liang sighed silently and was taken down by the military police.

"Hehe, Chief, this Yiwu County has been captured, can I let Lao Cheng also join the war against the Western Turks." Seeing that the surrender ceremony was over, Cheng Yanjin hurriedly came to Li Wenyuan's side and said.

"What? You also want to fight the Western Turks? Li Wenyuan asked with a smile.

"Men are determined in all directions, what's the point of suppressing bandits and counterinsurgency only in the country, if you want to fight, you will fight foreigners." Cheng Yanjin said.

"Then if you die on the battlefield, who will take care of your wife?" Li Wenyuan held back a laugh and asked in a deep voice.

"It's not a problem, when I die, the local government will naturally take care of my mother and provide for her old age." Cheng Yanjin said with a smile.

"Then you lead the Fifth Army of the headquarters, go out of the Roman Mountain, go straight to Futu City, and then attack the Western Turkic tribes north of the White Mountain, remember to pacify the mainstay, and must not all face each other with swords, but if you dare to take up arms to resist, fight until they stop resisting." Li Wenyuan nodded and said to Cheng Yanjin.

"If your subordinates obey orders, you will not live up to the trust of the governor." Li Wenyuan said.

Then Li Wenyuan returned to the governor's mansion of Dunhuang County, and Zhang Juntai was already waiting here at this time. As soon as Li Wenyuan entered the door, he saw Zhang Juntai sitting on a chair with his eyes closed, so he relaxed his steps and prepared to sit down in the first room, and then waited for Zhang Juntai to rest and discuss things after the fatigue of the journey.

But as soon as Li Wenyuan stepped into the room with one foot, Zhang Juntai suddenly opened his eyes and pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, until he saw Li Wenyuan at the door, he took his hand away from the hilt, stood up and tidied up his clothes, and hurriedly took two steps forward to salute and said: "The last general Zhang Juntai, see the general manager." ”

Li Wenyuan saw that Zhang Juntai had woken up, so he pulled him to sit on a chair in the room and said, "I just saw that you seemed to be tired, what?" The west has been very uneven lately? ”

Zhang Juntai nodded and said: "Yes, there have been more and more Western Turks who have come to harass recently, thanks to the lives of his soldiers, so as not to lose sight of one or the other, I came to discuss with the general manager, do you want to take advantage of the current pleasant weather to send troops to solve the hidden dangers of the Western Turks?" Otherwise, when the snow covers the mountains, we may lose even more due to the harsh environment under the attack of the Turks. ”

"Well, I was about to talk to you about that." Li Wenyuan nodded and said: "I also intend to make a break with the Western Turks, I have received news that the Western Turks have assembled an army in the royal court, intending to invade the Western Regions, I hope to keep the enemy out of the country and not affect this year's harvest." I would like to ask if you can send an army to attack the royal court, and let an army set out from the county of Jimo and go south to bypass the Tulun moraine, and attack the Turkic vassal states such as Khotan and Shule, so as to shake their morale and break the Turkic army from within. ”

"Our army can join the war at any time, and now there is Chai Huaixing's Eighth Army Corps stationed in Jimo County, this legion has good combat effectiveness, and Chai Huaixing can also fight in the war, and can take on the responsibility of being independent. It's just that if the army is willing to abandon the royal court and flee north, it will be very difficult for the army to either climb over or bypass the White Mountain. Zhang Juntai said.

"Don't worry about this, I have ordered Cheng Yanjin's Fifth Army to go to the Roman Mountain, and attack the northern part of the Western Turks on the first line of the White Mountain." Li Wenyuan gave Zhang Juntai instructions on the map.

"Cheng Biting Jin is also okay, I taught him to fight when I was in the military academy, he is indeed a good handsome talent, if he comes to attack the north, there is no big problem, so how can the manager send this attack? When to strike? Zhang Juntai nodded and said.

"After you go back, the sooner the better, as for sending troops, attack on all fronts." Li Wenyuan said with a smile.
