"Koji Boya?" Zhang Juntai looked at the night owl in front of him and asked, as one of the first people to follow Li Wenyuan, he was gradually able to get in touch with some confidential things at this time, plus Zhang Juntai was responsible for the affairs of this expedition to the Western Turks, and the night owl directly handed over the relevant information to Zhang Juntai.

"Yes, Ko Boya, who succeeded to the throne as emperor in Gaochang in the second year of Renshou, was deprived of the king's position by a man who claimed to be the heir of the former king in the tenth year of the Great Cause, relying on the Western Turks, and now he is under house arrest in the palace, with special people to take care of him, and cannot communicate with outsiders. This time, he didn't know where he heard that the current king of Gaochang had assembled the army in the country to help the Western Turks attack us, so he bought a maid who took care of him and sent out the news, showing that he was a Han himself, and now he was willing to return to the Heavenly Empire, and as long as we rescued him from the forbidden, he would cooperate with us to pacify the country of Gaochang. The night owl told Zhang Juntai all the information.

"Is the information accurate? This is not a trivial matter, once there is an accident, it will add a lot of unnecessary trouble. Zhang Juntai frowned and said.

"Our intelligence network in Gaochang is not yet very perfect, and we can't access the information in their palace, but there was indeed a coup d'état in the tenth year of Daye, and the current king is indeed still surnamed Koji, but I don't know if it is really the heir of the former king. The new king repeatedly asserted his legitimacy, claiming that he could not bear to kill each other, so he imprisoned him. These news are true, as for what he thinks, we don't know, and now his eldest son Ko Wentai is also waiting outside. The Night Stalker said in detail.

"Ko Wentai? Let him come in and talk. Zhang Juntai heard that the heir of Ko Boya was also here, and he was also here at that time, so he hurriedly said.

After a while, a man dressed in a hufu but with a Han face walked into the camp under the guidance of the night owl.

"This is our general Zhang Juntai this time, General Zhang." The Night Stalker introduced to Ko Buntai.

"The prince of Gaochang Kingdom, Lu Wentai, meet the general of the Celestial Empire." When he heard the introduction of the night owl, he knew who the person in front of him was, and he hurriedly knelt down to give a salute.

Zhang Juntai quickly grabbed Lu Wentai and said, "The son of the world can't, is there anything wrong with coming this time?" ”

Lu Wentai was stopped by Zhang Juntai, and he couldn't kneel and bow, so he could only arch his hand and said: "General Zhang, listen to me and tell you slowly, my ancestor was originally a border soldier of the Han army, and then gradually gathered refugees who fled from the Central Plains, founded a country in Gaochang in the Western Regions, and worked together to resist the attacks of the Turks, and has always had a tough attitude towards the Turks. Some time ago, a man named Ko Boren claimed to be the heir of the former king, and with the help of the Turks, he staged a coup d'état and became king, but I have never heard of such a person in the palace, he must be the Huhua Han people supported by the Turks, and he made up a name to disturb people's hearts. ”

Zhang Juntai nodded after hearing this, and said: "I know all these things, your father said that he is willing to submit to my Heavenly Empire, but the whole country is obedient?" We don't need a semi-independent country within a country, since we are all Han Chinese, it is better to return as soon as possible. ”

"When my father was in power, he said that the Great Sui was extremely strong, and if there was an opportunity, he must attach himself to the country, and the king would not do it. In the fourth year of the Great Cause, the emperor conquered the Yiwu tribe and built the Yiwu county city, so he wanted to go to face the saint in person to express his intentions, but was blocked by the Western Turks, so he had to give up. Ko Wentai said.

"It's best if you really belong to that side, I will declare your father's righteousness to the governor, and protect your father with the hereditary title of the Duke of Gaochang." Zhang Juntai nodded and said.

After arranging Ko Wentai, Zhang Juntai wrote this matter into a memo, handed it to the night owl and said, "This recital should be handed over to the chief manager as soon as possible." ”

Within a few days, Li Wenyuan had already received Zhang Juntai's expedited excerpt, looked through it and said to Qiu Niang on the side: "Zhang Juntai said that if the Gaochang king Lu Boya is really attached, I hope we can be appeased with the title of Duke of Gaochang, so that we can also show the remaining Western Regions countries that we are only targeting the Turks, so as to achieve the goal of dividing and dividing the enemy." ”

"This is also a method, anyway, the countries of the Western Regions have always been dependent on powers, and since they have little impact on their interests at this time, they can weaken their will to resist and reduce the military pressure on the front line." Qiu Niang thought for a while and said.

"But we need to conquer the entire Western Regions, and then push the border line westward to the Sassanid Empire, then these Western Regions countries will become the key points of our logistics, if the Western Regions are not stable, there will be problems with the logistics supply of the front-line army." Li Wenyuan said with a headache.

"This is simple, we can also follow the edict of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to gradually divide these princes, gradually turn their titles into honorary titles, and slowly deprive them of their real power." Qiu Niang covered her mouth and smiled.

The so-called authorities are fascinated, and the bystanders are clear, Li Wenyuan, as a traverser from later generations, stayed in the position of the commander of one party for a long time, got into the tip of the bull's horns, and forgot for a while that there was a lesson from the past. After listening to Qiu Niang's words, Li Wenyuan stroked his palms and said with a smile: "Wonderful, with this good plan, you can ensure the peace of the Western Regions." ”

Then Li Wenyuan took up the pen and reviewed Zhang Juntai's excerpt, and handed it to the night owl to send an urgent excerpt.

Zhang Juntai had just prepared for the army to go out and had already communicated with the armies on the north and south lines, when he received Li Wenyuan's instructions, with only four words: act cheaply.

Zhang Juntai was grateful to Li Wenyuan for his new appointment, and at the same time confirmed the plan of the western expedition with the staff again, and after perfecting the western expedition plan as much as possible, a plan codenamed Falcon was sent to the staff officers of each division. With the completion of the transfer of troops by the divisions according to the plan, Zhang Juntai issued an order after teaching Cheng Yanjin some important things in Yiwu County: "Attack on all fronts and act according to the plan." ”

With Zhang Juntai's order, the divisions left their garrisons one after another and launched an attack on their predetermined targets according to the plan, this time counting the people, a total of 200,000 people were thrown into the war against the Western Turks. Although the current war often requires two or three civilian men to ensure the combat effectiveness of a soldier, this disadvantage has become more obvious after Li Wenyuan began to promote the concept of professional soldiers in his territory.

However, fortunately, after all these years of recuperation, coupled with the fact that the Western Regions did not experience any military disasters and natural disasters at this time, and the people's strength still existed, under Li Wenyuan's careful recuperation, it was enough to deal with this war.
