"Unexpectedly, when the Great Sui was full of holes, only Li Wenyuan was still thinking about expanding the territory for the Great Sui, instead of killing each other in the land of the Great Sui like those traitors." Yang Guang put down the newspaper in his hand and said to the imperial historian in front of him.

"Chief Li has long been in the Western Regions to raise the people, and the people under his rule are living and working in peace and contentment, and the 200,000 refugees who moved west caused by the proverbs of the past few days have also been properly dealt with, so that the people of the Great Sui have been spared the suffering of war, which seems to have made a great contribution, but if it were not for His Majesty's appointment of him as the governor of the Western Regions at that time, how could he be a junior officer capable of doing these things." The imperial historian heard a trace of displeasure in Yang Guang's words, and hurriedly persuaded him. This imperial historian is none other than the imperial historian whom Li Wenyuan has invited to banquets three times and five times, and he is the so-called cannibalistic and short-mouthed, so now he naturally wants to speak for Li Wenyuan.

"How's that rumor going, how are you investigating?" Yang Guang asked.

The prophecy in the mouth of the imperial historian until Yang Guang was the one that was widely spread in the north: the king of the Western Regions, if he did not accept food, he bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty is wise, this kind of thing has always been as ethereal as smoke and difficult to find its roots, and the ministers are incompetent to find out that this prophecy was spread in the land of Qilu at the beginning." It is not known who did it, but according to the inference, it should be someone who wants to weaken the military resources in the land of Qilu, and at the same time wants to use these refugees to drag down the low-income grain policy implemented by General Manager Li in the Western Regions. But it is not known exactly who. ”

"Li Yuan. It must be him, and only he would use such a despicable trick. Yang Guang said hatefully. This Li Yuan was so perfectly disguised in front of him that he thought he could really control him. Unexpectedly, he was the one who had the last laugh, and he also supported his favorite emperor and grandson as the emperor, and respected himself as the emperor? He hasn't reached the time when he needs to give way, and even if he does, it won't be his turn to support him from Taiyuan.

However, this time Yang Guang wronged Li Yuan, and this prophecy was spread by Li Wenyuan himself, the purpose of which was to further enhance the people's strength in the Western Regions and increase the war potential of the Western Regions. According to the current development trend of the Western Regions, he will be able to easily meet his expectations after twenty years, but now that time waits for no one, Li Wenyuan can only take this desperate method, but fortunately Li Yuan has been accused of this crime and withstood Yang Guang's anger.

Turning back to the Western Front, with the reading of the oath, the sacrifice was offered, and after three cannon shots, Zhang Juntai personally slaughtered the live poultry sacrifice flag. Then, by noon, all five corps of the entire Western Front were marching towards the territory of the Western Turks. The movement of the army has always been difficult to conceal, and Zhang Juntai himself has no intention of concealing it, so the news reached the ears of the Khan as soon as possible.

"You mean that Gaochang is being besieged by the Han army?" The Gaochang people in front of him were asked by the Khan and said that this Gaochang people were the henchmen of Ko Boren, and this time he risked his life to break out of the Gaochang City that had not yet been completely surrounded, and came to find the Khan to move the rescuers.

"How long can Koji Boren last?" Shot Khan asked.

"My army of Gaochang Kingdom is now serving under your account of the Great Khan, Gaochang City may be in danger, please come to the rescue of the Great Khan." The Gaochang people who came to deliver the letter were already about to cry at this time.

"I see, you go down and rest." The Khan waved his hand impatiently, and the warrior in the account carried the Gaochang man out.

"Why are these damn Han people one step ahead of me? Now the armies of the various alliances are not familiar with each other, and if they send troops at this time, they may be broken by the Han people to find flaws. The Khan of Shooting had a headache and asked the Ankang people in front of him and said, the Ankang people have more people who are good at business, they have more places to go, their vision is wider, and their minds are more flexible, so they are favored by the Khan of Shooting Kui, please be a strategist for themselves.

"These are not problems, as long as you are in command in person, the leaders of those tribes will definitely obey your orders, and when the time comes, there will be no danger of being broken by each other." The Ankang said to the Khan of Shooting.

"And what about the people of the Tiele and Tocharian tribes who are still rushing here?" Said the Khan of Shooting.

"Khan, you can let them rush directly to Gaochang where to join the army, Gaochang itself has a lot of Han people, and the lord of the country is even more Han Chinese, if it is delayed for a long time, it is difficult to ensure that those weak Han people choose to surrender." Ankang said solemnly.

"Gao Changguo's Koji Boren will not surrender, but you are right, where there are many Han people, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, let's send troops now." Shooting Khan stood up and said.

With the issuance of the order of the Khan, the combined army of more than 30,000 Turkic troops and 70,000 warriors of various tribes marched in the direction of Gaochang Kingdom. In the strategic battle of Gaochang State, Zhang Juntai gathered all three legions for a surprise battle, thanks to the loyalty of Lu Boren to the Western Turks, most of the elite of the army in Gaochang were drawn to the hands of the Khan, and now the troops left in the country are mostly old, weak, sick and disabled. At this time, under the onslaught of Zhang Juntai's army, in just three days, the three counties of Jiaohe, Tiandi and Nanping, except for Gaochang City, were all captured, and the communication channel of Gaochang City to the outside world was completely cut off, and Gaochang City officially became an isolated island.

"General, the shooter himself has pounced on us with the main force of the coalition forces." A military tycoon reported to Zhang Juntai.

"Got it, have you counted all the armor captured from the Gaochang people?" Zhang Juntai asked.

"It's all ready, it's all in place." The military owl said with a smile.

"Then let them go and thwart the Turks' spirit first." Zhang Juntai ordered.

This time, Zhang Juntai dared to lead less than 50,000 men to directly face the 100,000 Turkic army, because Li Wenyuan gave him a small proposal: Unlike us fighting at home, this time we will inevitably come into contact with a large number of Hu people when we go to the steppe to fight, some of whom are willing to submit, and some of whom are forced to submit by our army. These Hu people, who were exempt from submission, were most in danger, so it was better to arm them and promise them that as long as they had enough military achievements, we would help them establish a state and completely free themselves from the rule of the Ashina clan. They must not be able to resist this temptation, and when the time comes, they can put them on the front line, and since they have joined our army, they must abide by our military law, and those who escape from the battle will not be killed, and every time they fight, they can arrange a unit to supervise the battle.

According to Li Wenyuan, Zhang Juntai organized an army of up to 20,000 Hu people in Gaochang alone, and Zhang Juntai named it the Naturalized Army. The first battle of this naturalized army will face its old rivals, the Turks.
