The Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses entered Dunhuang.

Wei Chigong took 15,000 men and horses and headed towards Yangguan.

Out of Yangguan, go south, that is, Ruoqiang, and Mo, Xiaowan, Jingjue, Ronglu, Mi, Qule, Pishan and other countries.

Li Tai and Cheng Yanjin went to Yumen Pass, and out of Yumen Pass, Li Tai went straight to Loulan, Moshan, Yanqi, Wuzi, Gaochang and other countries.

And Cheng Yanjin took 15,000 soldiers and horses to the north to conquer Yiwu, Cheshi, Wusun and other countries.

Finally, everyone gathered in the old city of Dawan.

In addition to the generals in the army, there are also some civilian officials who are here to deal with local affairs.

The tall jade gate passes, out of the pass, the scenery outside the pass looks a little desolate.

Li Tai rode on a donkey and slowly moved forward with the army.

"The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, a lonely city and ten thousand mountains. Why should Qiang Di complain about the willows, the spring breeze does not pass the jade gate. Li Tai looked at the tall city wall and couldn't help but sigh.

I suddenly felt that I was a poet who was worried about the country and the people.

"Good poetry!"

"Husband, this poem is really the best in the world!"

Yu Wanqing and Yu Wanqing hurriedly sent their fart, and Li Tai was happy to listen. Be sure to reward them tonight.

"This verse must have been written by the princess."

It was at this time that an untimely voice rang out.

At first glance, the person who ruined the atmosphere was none other than Yuen.

Such a good thing, fishing for military merits, Yuen naturally came.

However, he did not follow Cheng Yanjin, but followed Li Tai.

This is not surprising, following Li Tai, but there are a lot of military exploits to be fished, the battle report along the way is written by Li Tai, how can Li Tai not put more water?

If you don't want to be promoted and make a fortune, you can't do it.

"Which kingdom lies ahead?" Li Tai didn't bother to pay attention to Yu Eun, and turned his head to look at a general next to him.

This middle-aged general is none other than Su Dingfang.

"Your Highness is walking forward for a day, and it is Loulan City." Su Dingfang said.

"Loulan?" A sneer appeared at the corner of Li Tai's mouth, and he said, "I'm going to capture this Loulan King alive!" ”

Li Tai is no stranger to Loulan, in his previous life, the most famous of the countries in the Western Regions was the ancient kingdom of Loulan, and there were also Loulan beauties.

"Qinghai Changyun Dark Snow Mountain, the lonely city looks at Yumen Pass from afar, the yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will never be returned if it is not broken." Li Tai sighed loudly and said, "Life is really lonely like snow!" ”

It seems that he has broken Loulan and become a famous general.

"Your Highness, this Loulan country has long since perished, and now it is the Western Turks who are stationed in Loulan." Su Dingfang said.

"Damn, what perish? Who destroyed Lao Tzu's Loulan, Lao Tzu's Loulan beauty! Li Tai looked grief-stricken.

Su Dingfang looked at it and couldn't help but have a little headache.

Your Highness, can we be normal?

The army slowly moved forward, and Li Tai held a beef jerky, gnawing as he walked forward, as if the beef jerky had a great hatred for him.

Now Datang's military rations are very abundant.

Beef jerky is the main military food, and since the Eastern Turks were broken, there have been more cattle in the Tang Dynasty.

Now there are cattle farms on the steppe that are beginning to take shape.

In addition to beef jerky, the military rations of the Tang army also include mutton jerky, fried beans, fried rice, etc., all of which are high-calorie things, and they will get hot if they eat too much.

However, it is better than eating nothing.

The army moved forward slowly.

"Da Da Da ......"

The neat hooves of the horses trampled on the earth, making loud noises.

Out of the Yumen Pass, walked all the way.

Occasionally, I saw two poplar trees, and then there was the vast yellow sand.

"It's really boring, I said it a long time ago, don't come, don't come, you see, it's just riding a horse to see the desert, what's so beautiful about the desert? With this leisure time, it is better to go to the beach. ”

"The beach by the sea, that's pretty good, such as the beach in Hawaii and the bikini in Hawaii, even if it's not Hawaii, it's not bad to go to the Beihai in Lingnan, there is a silver beach in that place, and then let a group of girls walk on the beach without wearing anything, hehehe......"

"And Hainan, that place is not bad, by the way, and Sakhalin Island, hey, why do you have to come to the Western Regions?"

"Daddy is really sick, there is something wrong, he drove his son outside, pity my son who is not yet an adult, and my unborn ......"

Along the way, Li Tai chattered and complained.

It seems that after leaving Chang'an City, Li Tai's resentment is really big.

Suddenly, the advancing team stopped.

A figure quickly came to Li Tai's side.

"Report to Your Highness, the Turkic cavalry brigade has been found ahead!"

"Oh? Turks? Li Tai's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said, "How many people are there?" ”

"It is estimated that there are 10,000, all cavalry!"

"The cavalry is good, the cavalry is good." Li Tai looked quite happy.

The Western Regions has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, the Tang Dynasty and the Eastern Turks fought, and after the Eastern Turks were destroyed, the Western Regions became the territory of the Western Turks.

Later, the Tang Dynasty fought with the Tubo people and the Hui people.

There is Li Tai in this time and space, and this Western Regions can only be the Tang Dynasty.

Walking to the front, the soldiers in front were already in battle, and the soldiers showed excitement on their faces one by one, and their spears were clenched in their hands.

Opposite, in the distance.

The swarthy Western Turkic cavalry was approaching.

In this era, cavalry was the strongest type of troops, and the Turks were able to conquer this area precisely because of the strong cavalry.

The Western Turks had also received a report that the Tang Dynasty had stationed troops at Yumen Pass, so they had already sent soldiers from the Western Turks to stop the Tang Dynasty.

Now, the Western Turks are missing a few tribes such as Ashina Helu, and their strength has weakened a lot.

Therefore, this Western Regions cannot be lost.

The Western Regions were a trade route between the East and the West, and were very important to the Western Turks.

"Are they going to fight us to the death?" looked at the figure that couldn't see the end at a glance, and said: "It's a pity, it's a pity that these horses, with these war horses, our Datang can form a million cavalry, and conquer whoever you want when the time comes." ”

Su Dingfang looked at Li Tai and was dumbfounded.

This highness's ambition is really not small.

But also, there is really a million cavalry, and it can really do whatever it wants.

Not to mention a million cavalry, 500,000 cavalry can dominate the world.

"Your Highness, wait a minute, it's just a group of local chickens and dogs, wait for me to lead my sons and daughters to kill these Turks!" Su Dingfang said.

"No hurry, no hurry." Li Tai shook his head.

Su Dingfang was very puzzled, what does Your Highness mean by this? Is it possible to make peace with the Western Turks? Looking at this form, the Western Turks may not be willing to make peace.

However, at this time, a faint smile appeared in Li Tai's eyes and said, "Artillery preparation!" ”

"Whoa!"

A herald hurriedly pushed the cannon out, a hundred cannons, facing the front.

"Your Highness, what are you?"

"Although it is said that Ci is not in charge of the army, righteousness is not in charge of money, but as a commander, he must not only find a way to win the war, but also find a way to reduce the casualties of his own soldiers." Li Tai said slowly.
