"Boss, let's just leave it at that, right? The Safar Dynasty will hand it over to me to march south. "The military flags outside Shule City are flying fiercely, and the severe cold in the northwest in March is gradually dissipating, but unlike the mainland, which has entered spring, the spring in the northwest will have to wait until at least April. So even if it is coming in March, it is still cold and windy on Shule's side, and it does not make people feel a trace of spring. Gao Siji rode on his horse, and behind him, Tie Liang led the heavy cavalry battalion of 50,000 people to wait in a neat square array. And Wan Yi and Tuoba Siji came to say goodbye. The Southern Advance Corps was mainly formed by the merger of the Heavy Cavalry Battalion and the Anxi Corps stationed in Khotan, because it was on the front line of the fight against the Celestial Sect world, and the Guanshan was far away, so it was impossible to communicate with the headquarters in real time.

"Brother Siji, after the Southern Advance Corps enters the Safar Dynasty, it will inevitably face the resistance of the Heavenly Sect world, and it will even attract the iron cavalry of the real Great Food Empire, but the vast land of the entire southern front is the territory under the former Anxi Dadu's tent, that is, the western territory that the emperor has demarcated for us to the Tang Dynasty that needs to be recovered, and told the soldiers that the land cannot be lost at any time. The purpose of the soldiers of Tiance Army is to protect the country, the country and the people. From now on, I will leave everything on the southern route to you. Wan Yi looked at Gao Siji and the soldiers of the heavy cavalry battalion who were ready to go, and his voice was serious and his tone became extremely solemn.

"Please rest assured, the last general, Gao Siji, with 100,000 soldiers of the Southern Advance Corps, issued a military order, recovered the country, and fought unyieldingly. God bless the Tang Dynasty, and the Han army is mighty. Gao Siji raised his right hand high, his voice was excited, and the 50,000 soldiers behind him shouted "God bless the Tang Dynasty, the Han army is mighty" at the same moment, and the voice shook the four fields, conveying the long-term memories of the Tang Dynasty and the new understanding of thousands of people about this empire.

Gao Siji said goodbye to Wan Yi and Tuoba Siji, with a wave of his right hand, Tie Liang personally took the flag of the Tiance Army and went south, and 50,000 soldiers behind him walked with a song, and the ancient and distant war songs began to come out of the mouths of the soldiers, and the ancient war songs of the three stacks of sunshine made all the people who saw them off stand in the cold wind for a long time, watching more and more soldiers join the ranks of chanting. Guanshan Saibei, longitudinal horses galloping, military flags are all land, long knives point, iron horses thousands of groups. The new Tang Dynasty, the new Han and Tang Dynasty heroes accompanied these iron-blooded soldiers all the way to the west, stepping on the footprints left by their predecessors on this land, and the Tang Dynasty soldiers are now embarking on a journey again after two years of fierce battles, to recover their homeland, to spread the Tang civilization, to declare the heroic style of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and to cast the foundation of the thousand-year-old empire.

Gao Siji led the army southward, all the way through Shuangqu City, entered the border of Khotan, and then arrived at the northern important town of Ya'er City, where he met Zhang Sheng. The group traveled thousands of miles from Khotan to north to south, and along the way, Zhang Sheng constantly mobilized his headquarters to join the marching team. Since Khotan had ended its military management, all government affairs had been handed over to Qian Biao, who had been transferred from the cabinet, and the National Guard and the personnel of the Guard Department were responsible for daily security, and the Anxi Corps was finally able to gather its entire army after a lapse of more than half a year. Seeing the establishment of the 50,000 people of the Anxi Corps being completely presented in front of him for the first time, Zhang Sheng himself felt a lot of emotion. The Anxi Corps, like the Uighur Corps, is a field corps temporarily formed by the Western Expeditionary Army on the Northwest Front according to local conditions, and compared with the series of dazzling achievements of the Uighur Corps, this field corps composed of most of its members is a descendant of the Zhaowu Nine surnames, but it seems to be much more low-key and ordinary, even if Zhang Sheng fought a big victory in Humi Zhang Sheng, but more often Zhang Sheng and the Anxi Corps carried out more to maintain the internal stability of Khotan, prevent the Safarid Dynasty from attacking Khotan, and ensure the security of the southern part of the Western Expeditionary Army. Therefore, when the Southern Advance Corps arrived from the south of Khotan, Zhang Sheng's Anxi Corps was rebuilt, and the 100,000 field troops of the Southern Advance Corps, plus nearly 150,000 artillery units and logistics troops, passed through the city of Humi, and stepped out of the Khotanese territory. This was also the first time that the Tiance army took the initiative to attack south after recovering Khotan.

"Deputy Marshal, ahead is the Ming Tiegai Mountains, and after we fought from Humi last time, we regained an advance base in front of us - Bohezhou. Over there, we supported a Song family head as the city lord of Bohe Prefecture, some time ago when the Safar Dynasty sent troops to attack Bohe Prefecture, the Song family also held the city and sent people to ask for help. "Qin Kong has also been absent for a long time, and all the Xuanying Guards and Secret Guards on the Khotanese side have been scattered into the Safarid Dynasty in advance, and this time he followed the army to the expedition along the way, and also took the initiative to introduce the specific information of the Safarid Dynasty and the marching route along the way.

"That Song family claims to be a descendant of my Tang Dynasty, last time I led the army to chase down and kill the source of the Dao Po Le River to annihilate the remnants of the Safar Dynasty, this guy took the initiative to take refuge here, and he can still say a few words of Tang Yan. At that time, I didn't care, thinking that the main force of our army was on the northern front, and it would be difficult to penetrate here for a while, so I agreed to support him, but what I didn't expect was that he really blocked the subsequent attack of the Safavid army. Zhang Sheng took over the conversation and said with a smile: "So this time, our army can directly reach Bohe Prefecture, and then use this as a base to attack other areas." ”

"It seems that this is unintentionally planted in the willows. The Song family, well, I'll go to see you when the time comes, I'm afraid that the influence left by our Datang will be even smaller, and there are not many people who know Datang like this and can tell their family history. Even if it's fake, it's worth cultivating. Gao Siji also sighed and shook his head, but then smiled: "Next, it depends on how the cabinet arranges, when I came, the deputy prime minister said that for the sake of our southern marching corps, a huge receiving team was directly transferred from the Central Plains, ready to re-educate the people here and re-establish the new order of the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Haha, that's not what we guns need to do. We're just responsible for taking this land down. Although Tie Liang has also been collecting information and intelligence on the southern front during this time, he still feels very novel after hearing the personal account of the two responsible persons in the south at this time, but he took the conversation and said with a smile: "Last time, when your Anxi Corps was insufficient, you were able to win a big victory in Humi, and this time our 100,000 troops marched south to directly destroy this Safard Dynasty and include it all in the empire." ”

On March 19, the fifth year of the Apocalypse, when Gao Siji's headquarters of the Southern Advance Corps successfully arrived in Bohezhou, the forward troops had already taken Song Lingxun, the city lord of Bohezhou, to greet him outside the city, and at the same time, many family and force representatives in Bohe Prefecture also sent people to participate, all wanting to see the soldiers of the Tiance Army. And when the 100,000 troops of the Tiance Army came outside the city, the aura of slaughter in their eyes made everyone shudder. After a brief chat with Song Lingxun, Gao Si asked Tie Liang to lead the army to camp near Heyuan outside the city, and he took his personal guards accompanied by Zhang Sheng and others to the City Lord's Mansion.

The Tang Dynasty ruled for more than a hundred years, even earlier than Shule and other places, and it was only the establishment of the Detention Prefecture at the beginning, and the degree of freedom itself was very high, so the erosion of the Heavenly Fang Sect civilization for a hundred years made the entire city full of exotic customs, which made the soldiers of the Tiance Army who entered the city for the first time curious. But because it was to escort Gao Siji into the city, these guards didn't dare to be careless, after all, this was the front line, so everyone responded with a twelve-point spirit, and even the captain of the guard secretly pulled Qin Kong and asked Xuan Yingwei to secretly participate in the action to protect Gao Siji. But Gao Siji himself didn't mind at all, he was an iron-blooded general, and his martial arts were even on par with the iron spear Wang Yanzhang back then, and now the Tang Dynasty is in full swing, and it is a giant-level existence in the northwest. As a deputy commander of the Western Expeditionary Army, if someone comes to assassinate him, then wait for the endless anger of the Tiance Army.

"Does City Lord Song still remember the old things of his own family?" Gao Siji himself wanted to chat with the city lord who claimed to be a descendant of the Tang Dynasty, so after arriving at the city lord's mansion, he exchanged a few words and went straight to the point.

"Deputy Marshal Qiyu, the Song family is a remnant of Anxi back then, so it is rumored that the family of one of the generals of the Anxi Army later settled in the Western Regions, and finally migrated here many times." Song Lingxun's Tang Yan was not good, and it could be seen that he had made up for it recently, so he stammered in a few words, but Gao Siji and the others still understood, but these Gao Siji just wanted to hear what he said, so Gao Siji continued: "I heard General Zhang say that after our army conquered Bohezhou, the Song City Lord took the initiative to join our army, is that so?" Gao Siji's words were very slow, as if to take care of the other party's unfamiliarity with Tang Yan, but there was an indescribable pressure in Song Lingxun's ears. So after Gao Siji finished speaking, a cold sweat broke out on Song Lingxun's forehead, and he was also eating and eating, "The deputy marshal laughed, I was actually dissatisfied with the city lord of Bohezhou at the beginning, and when I saw that there was an army outside the city that killed so many people from the army of the Safar Dynasty, I thought that I could take advantage of it, at that time, to be honest, I didn't know that my Tang army could fight here, after all, Khotan and our side have not had any contact since the secret was blocked." It wasn't until General Zhang led the army into the city that I remembered that since the Tang Dynasty was able to lead the army to fight here, then I, Song Lingxun, also wanted to fight. Song Lingxun gritted his teeth and said bluntly, "Of course, there is still a trace of Datang in my heart, but now that I think back at that time, I was actually thinking more about how to seek more benefits." For those of us who are the remnants of the past, it is already very good to have a vague impression. The Safar Dynasty suppressed the remnants of Anxi very hard, and there is still a saying in other places to this day, everything that speaks Tang Yan is Tang Kou, that is, the object they need to exterminate, so the ancestors of these people can only change their doors in order to survive and continue the bloodline, constantly dilute the blood of the Han people, and even change their beliefs and languages, and become authentic Saffars, and even many people have migrated to places such as Baghdad. Song Lingxun smiled bitterly and said: "However, after General Zhang defeated the bowl and the state in the vicinity, they have rushed over one after another, and now at least thirty percent of the people in the city are the descendants of our remnants back then, although they have almost forgotten the ancestral Tang Yan like me before, and even many people don't know the Han blood on their bodies at all, but the older generation in the family still remembers." ”

Song Lingxun said very sincerely, and he also said very clearly about the purpose of his speculation, but it was not a taste in the ears of Gao Siji and others, leaving aside Song Lingxun's original purpose, these Han bloodlines have been disconnected from the culture of the original mother country for more than 100 years in order to survive, and the new generation of people may not know the former glory of the distant central dynasty and their invincible heroic deeds in the northwest back then. This made everyone, including Gao Siji, feel heavy, this land has been separated from the Tang Dynasty for too long, but I am afraid that even if it is defeated, there are still countless ways to go before it can really be included in the territory of the empire.

"I'm sorry City Lord Song, let you say so much. On behalf of Datang, I welcome you home. Gao Siji stood up and led everyone to solemnly salute Song Lingxun, and at the same time said solemnly: "I also ask the city lord of Song to tell the remnants of the former Tang Dynasty to tell them that now the Tang Dynasty has been rebuilt, and it is stronger and more prosperous than before, which is enough to become a strong support for them." Tell them that from today onwards, anyone who dares to say that they are Tang Kou's, the Tiance Army will kill them. ”

"Go and tell everyone that those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away." Gao Siji's tragic voice echoed in the City Lord's Mansion for a long time, "Datang is back from today, it's time for this land to return." ”

Gao Siji's words spread quickly throughout the entire Saffar Dynasty in just one month as if they had wings, and the bloody Jingguan stele made by Zhang Sheng at the beginning, "Those who offend my Tang Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away" made everyone shocked, especially the sentence "The Tang Dynasty is back from today, and it's time for this land to return." While this kind of declaration that was tantamount to a war letter made the Safar Dynasty angry, almost all the people had a premonition that this time this land had once again come to a crossroads after a hundred years, and the Tang Dynasty, this behemoth a hundred years ago, had now begun to show its domineering posture in the northwest again. It was also after these words were spread that those who still remembered the hearts of some families in the Central Plains Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty in the past, one after another as if they were in the darkness took out the spirit cards that had already been dyed with slow dust and carefully placed them in their own halls, and their tearful faces invariably appeared with deep joy.

"Kid, we're going home." Almost unanimously, this sentence began to be passed on to everyone around him, along with the stiff language that almost disappeared from everyone's memory. After all, the group of people back then still left the seeds for the return of Datang.
