Chapter 326: The decisive battle begins

Lu Hanyang sat on the back of the golden-winged Dapeng and let the flying sword fly towards the west on its own, and in the process, he let Xue Ji blow a cool breeze on the side to lower the temperature. Along the way, it was very leisurely towards the territory of the Byzantine Empire in West Asia.

In between, whether it was Gaochang or Zhaowu Jiu, these small states were all very turbulent at this time, because they also felt the pressure from the two powerful empires in the East and West. The Twelve Kingdoms of Western Europe had already conquered the Byzantine Empire and were coming all the way east.

And in the east, on the border of the Tang Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of troops, are ready to fight, and it is obvious that a big war between the East and the West is imminent, and it is not something they can escape at all. It is like a lamb sandwiched between two powerful beasts, and there is no way to escape the fate of being devoured by the beast, only which side it is swallowed up.

At this time, it is the turn of these small countries to make a decision, and surrendering to the two powerful countries may be able to survive for a while, but when the final decisive battle begins, they are likely to become cannon fodder troops in the contest between the two sides, and then be completely wiped out.

However, all this is inevitable, and Lu Hanyang will not care if he flies in the sky, because they are not the people under the rule of the Tang Dynasty now, and they are not on the list that Lu Hanyang wants to protect, so he just flew over directly, and he is now here to investigate the enemy.

Flying in the air, the speed of the flying sword also slowed down a lot, flying high above the sky, using extraordinary eyesight to look down, at this time Lu Hanyang could see that the mountains and rivers of the Byzantine Empire below were shattered, and the beacon smoke was everywhere, and the empire founded by Muhammad was torn apart by the enemy from Europe before it was completely prosperous.

This process is not only an external enemy, but also an internal ghost. These enemies from within are not something that ordinary people can think of, they exist at all levels, and they are even hidden and unfathomable. When they were not launched, no one knew which people were bought by the Europeans.

No, it is not a bribe, but a corrosion, with so-called miracles that corrupted their faith in Allah. Because although Muhammad proclaimed the glory of Allah, it was still too short, and his life had ended in the first two years, which was even more shaken in his faith.

And in the face of those Christians who came from Europe who could really show miracles, Allah Allah did not show miracles beyond ordinary people at all, and in contrast, a rift in faith appeared.

This rift created these betrayers, who were no longer followers of Allah, corrupted by Christianity or by the twelve servants of King Arthur.

And the harm caused by these people far exceeds that of any enemy, they know more about the Byzantine Empire, the harm caused by the betrayal is more serious, and the real Byzantine Empire diehards who hide and do not know when they will be betrayed, causing irreparable losses, are suffering at this time.

So the Byzantine Empire was gone, and the lineage of Muhammad, which could have become one of the three major religions in the world, suffered a devastating blow at this moment.

"It seems that the Byzantine Empire can't last long, and the damage caused to the coalition forces of the Twelve Kingdoms is not great, and even countless prisoners of war can be used as death squads on the other side, this is not good!" Lu Hanyang saw all this in the air, and then frowned slightly, this is not a good phenomenon.

If you want them to kill these prisoners of war, or these ordinary people, although Lu Hanyang is a gesture, but it is too cruel, these people are not enemies of Datang now, and they are inevitably **.

"Although I can't kill so many people by myself, it's still no problem to save these people." Lu Hanyang pondered slightly on the sky for a while, and then a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, he actually thought of the idea of saving these soldiers of the Byzantine Empire at this time, and providing them with some support, so that they could get together more with the coalition forces of the European kingdoms.

"It's a good idea, let these people become guerrillas, so as to delay the pace of the Europeans, and it can also kill and injure their living forces, even if they are exterminated in the end, there will not be too many people left!" Lu Hanyang thought about it, and then began to implement it. Arthur and the others are not here now, and Lu Hanyang is completely undefended, and no one can find Lu Hanyang's traces at all.

Therefore, Lu Hanyang easily released the prisoners of war of the Byzantine Empire, and gave them the military map of the current European garrison, and also pointed out the location of the strategic baggage of the Europeans, so that they could grab it as supplies, so that the Byzantine soldiers could hold out longer, and drag the Europeans on the land of the Byzantine Empire and fall into the quagmire of war.

After doing all this, Lu Hanyang rushed back to the Tang Dynasty, and when he returned to Ganzhou, he asked Li Jing to start the expedition, and the Western Turks, Gaochang, Zhaowu Jiu, etc. must be taken. So that they had enough cannon fodder corps to deal with the Byzantine soldiers captured by the Europeans.

This kind of acceptance of prisoners of war as a death squad, Li Jing and they are very good at it, so after Lu Hanyang issued such an order, the Tang army began to act, Li Ji coerced Gaochang and directly took Gaochang Kingdom, and swept back their domestic food and army, it is worth mentioning that the panther Salazar followed Li Ji and was the first to rush into the Gaochang Kingdom, and even captured the king of Gaochang.

And Qin Qiong also led a large army to encircle and suppress the Western Turks on the grassland, this time Lu Hanyang asked Pierce to go with him, Pierce can play a great role in this grassland, at least he can control the grass and trees, so that the Western Turkic army is directly defeated. In this way, the damage of the Tang soldiers was reduced, and Lu Hanyang's strategic purpose was fully achieved.

This kind of preparation took a long time, and the escaped prisoners of war in Byzantium were powerful enough, and Arthur did not shift his attention here, or he had more important things, ignoring the changes here, everything was completely achieved according to Lu Hanyang's ideas, and the surname Zhaowu Jiu was completely a thing of the past, leaving only the Western Regions Protectorate under the rule of the Tang Army.

The army surnamed Zhaowu Jiu, who was originally roaring on the ground in this Western Regions, all became prisoners of the Tang Dynasty at this time, waiting to be pushed up as a death squad when the war with the West began.

Of course, in this process, there are also some aliens who propose to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and are even willing to move their clans to the territory of the Tang Dynasty and become the people of the Tang Dynasty. This kind of thing, Lu Hanyang did not interfere, but let Li Er solve it, it is enough for him to meddle in the affairs of the army, as for this civil affairs, Lu Hanyang is even more ignorant.

Li Er was also enlightened, saying that those who were willing to accept the rule of the Tang Dynasty could be relocated to Guannei, but at the beginning, they did not directly become the people of the Tang Dynasty, and they had to go through the military control of the Tang Dynasty for at least three years before they could enjoy the treatment of the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Many tribes agreed to such conditions, and the tribe moved to the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and then lived under the custody of the Tang army, whether it was farming or grazing, in short, there was a safe environment. The most famous of these is a royal family of the Western Turks: the Ashina tribe led by Ashina Sheer.

"Everything is ready, just waiting for the other party to come!" After nearly a year of time, the time has reached the sixth year of Zhenguan, and at this time, the original history has been changed beyond recognition, and there is nothing worth referring to at all.

And Lu Hanyang and they have also completed the integration of all the forces of the Tang Dynasty, at least all the materials that should be sent to the battlefield in the Western Regions have been sent, the weapons that should be given have also been in place, and even the prince has sent three of them.

These three people are the three little guys who are already sixteen or seventeen years old, and they are also Li Er's three eldest children, the crown prince Li Chengqian, Wu Wangke, and Wei Wangtai. These people did not come to the army to supervise the army as a prince, but to work hard in the army. This is a choice that Li Er made after careful consideration.

In the past, the Li family's way of selecting children was to raise sons like wolves, which is the root of the Li family's ability to raise outstanding young generations from generation to generation. But under the premise that this era is changing too quickly, it seems that this adopted son is like a wolf is no longer applicable, because Li Er found that there are too many things to adapt to, and Yushan Bajing Palace throws out some seemingly ordinary, but actually far-reaching things one by one.

This made Li Er have to change the training program for the child, and what he needed most was to cultivate the relationship between the child and the pure yang immortal. Lu Hanyang is now in charge of the Western Regions, so the best way is to let all the children he thinks he can cultivate be thrown into this part of the Western Regions, let them behave on their own, and attract the attention of the Pure Yang Immortals.

Li Er understands this, and the three princes also understand it, and they do the same. It's just that the effect is all in Lu Hanyang's thoughts. Because now the imperial power of the Tang Dynasty cannot be opposed to the divine power at all, this is a situation that will definitely occur after foreign players intervene, because they are powerless to resist at all.

And if the imperial power wants to exist, then you can only bow your head, but it can't be too obvious, after all, the emperor also wants to save face. So this approach was taken.

Lu Hanyang also knew this tacit understanding, and he didn't understand it, but didn't know it. Because he didn't have the heart to get involved in the struggle for imperial power, these three princes were flattering and thrown to the blind. Of course, Lu Hanyang will also directly pass on his wishes to the imperial court when he wants to do something, anyway, no one dares to disobey it!

So now he just needs to go to Arthur and fight to the death, I don't know when this time will be, anyway, he is ready, and if he continues to wait, it will also demoralize the Tang army, so at this time everything is ready, Lu Hanyang went directly to Li Jing.

"Li Jing came out to see this seat!" Lu Hanyang whispered outside Li Jing's tent, but the voice was transmitted to the entire tent, and at this time, all the senior generals and strategists of the Western Expedition Army were discussing in the tent to see how to deal with it next......

"It's a pure yang immortal! Come out with me and greet you! Li Jing said, and then walked directly to the outside of the tent.

"I've seen the Pure Yang Immortal!" A group of people walked out, and then came to Lu Hanyang to greet him.

"Are you discussing the war in the Western Regions?" Lu Hanyang asked, seeing so many generals and strategists, of course he could guess why.

"Hui Immortal Chief, it's true, this war in the Western Regions is about to start, and we are preparing how to deal with the enemy." Li Jing said that behind him, the Tang Dynasty generals had basically arrived except for a few towns guarding various important towns.

"What's so difficult about this, the army is open, this seat walks with you, this time the battle will be decided, and the battle with the Western barbarians will be fought to the death." Lu Hanyang said that he didn't understand the detours of leading the troops, but just expressed his meaning.

"Immortal Chief, I'm afraid this matter is not so easy, hundreds of thousands of troops are pulled, and the materials needed are not trivial, although Datang has improved now, but it has not yet reached the time when the soldiers are really strong and strong, I am afraid that this grain and grass will be a big disaster." Fang Xuanling bowed forward and said.

"Although this is a difficult thing, but it is not difficult to this seat, you only need to move forward, as for supplies, the West is not a barren land with no grass, it also has food output, and it only needs to be solved on the spot when the time comes!" Lu Hanyang said, but he knew that Arthur had been operating in Europe for so many years, and the European army had a lot of food baggage, so as long as he defeated them, why not worry about it?

So now it is enough for Datang to send troops! And now is the most fierce time for the struggle between the Europeans and the remnants of the Byzantine Empire in West Asia, and the strength of both sides has lost a lot.

"Since the Immortal Chief is so sure, then we also believe that the Immortal Chief will not joke with the lives of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, so here we promise the Immortal Chief to send troops." Li Jing thought about it, and then made a decision, if this time the troops were sent to win, then everything is easy to say, it is a miracle that shocks the world, if it fails, then everyone here is afraid that it will be difficult to escape the blame, and then they will all have to be imprisoned and march into Chang'an to ask Li Er for their guilt.

"If this trip fails, I'm afraid this seat will not be killed, for you and others is a war, for this seat and those few people are not the same!" Lu Hanyang said.

"Immortal Chief, are you saying that the other party also has a person like Immortal Chief, and it is a very powerful existence?" Li Jing's eyes flashed even more, if there really is, then these immortals and gods with great power will fight, and I am afraid that mortals will ......

"Yes, the other party also has a general existence like this seat, and it is not necessarily worse than this seat at all! And the number is not less than that of this seat. Therefore, the battlefield of mortals depends on you, and this seat will only provide you with the other party's food, and you will take it yourself. This seat will fight to the death with those behind them on another battlefield. Lu Hanyang said.
