[There is one more more.] Please watch it tomorrow morning. 】

Before I left the room, the wind and snow came in front of me.

The cold wind invaded his body, and Wang Sunchen suddenly sneezed heavily.

"Tsuki?"

The soldiers who followed behind him hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"It's fine."

Wang Sunchen hummed, reached out and took the white silk square handkerchief handed over, blew his nose, and then put it into his sleeve.

He rubbed his face vigorously with both hands, and the snowflakes on his face melted in the palms of his hands. At first it was cool, then it became warm.

A little stimulation, staying in a warm room in the groggy mind is also much clearer. Looking at the snowflakes that kept falling in the sky, Wang Sunchen scolded and scolded: "Damn, how many months has it been?" ”

It's only September, but the last man [Aksu] is already frozen. There were also two snowfalls.

The first snow was at the end of August, and the first two days were so hot at noon that people sweated, wishing that a bow would shoot the sun down, but the north wind blew and the snow was blowing. At noon, they wore single clothes, and at night they had to surround the fire. Fortunately, they were well prepared, and everyone rolled up a leather jacket behind the saddle, otherwise, the 10,000 troops following Wang Sunchen would have been frozen in the last barbarian Japanese city.

However, the natives here also said that the weather was not right this year. Normally, snow doesn't start until October and November, but today it's two months ahead of schedule.

Wang Sunsin originally wanted to take advantage of the good autumn weather and take a rest to take a look at the border of the Black Khanate.

The Black Khanate was divided into two years ago, and there was civil strife, and the main force in the country should have no time to be distracted. But looking at the weather now, there is a bit of a dilemma. When I looked back at the map, my heart was hairy. This time, it was too far. Since leaving Ganliang Road, all the way to the west, up to now, there are most of the three or four thousand miles of road.

Wang Sunchen led the army to trek thousands of miles, first broke through Yizhou [Hami], rested for a winter, and then under the city of Gaochang [Turpan], three battles and three victories in seven days, wiped out the main Uighur force in Xizhou, and the lord of Gaochang also protected the Jin of Vigabu - also protected the lord of Gaochang - left the concubine and the children and fled overnight. Wang Sunchen pursued closely, except for dividing a thousand soldiers and horses to attack Yanqi [Korla] in the west, the rest of the men and horses all went north and captured the north courtyard [Qitai] of the Gaochang Summer Palace - that is where the Tang Dynasty Beiting Protectorate is located - forcing the remnants of Vigabu's Jin to surrender.

But just as Wang Sunsin was heading north, Aslan Khan [Lion King] of the Uighurs of Qiuzi, who was also a brother of the Jin of Vijab, led his army north to support. Seeing this, the generals who had just taken Yanqi immediately withdrew to Gaochang. When Wang Sunsin heard the news, he threw away his baggage, and galloped south with 800 cavalry, and raided the 20,000-strong army of the Uighurs in the early morning mist, and beheaded Aslan Khan Khan, and the five prime ministers of the army, two of whom died in the chaos, one was captured, and only two escaped.

What followed was smooth sailing, and the Uighurs in Western China no longer had the strength to resist the Han soldiers and horses of the Western Expedition. From the Yanqi below, all the large and small cities along the way opened the city and surrendered. Even Qiuzi took the initiative to open the city. After Wang Sunchen was comforted, he continued to march west with an army of servants composed of the children of local nobles. This armed march continued until he reached the end of the army and reached the western border of the Uighurs in Western State, where he fought with the army of the Black Khanate, which had heard the news of the destruction of the Uighur state. In this battle, the more than 10,000 troops under Wang Sunchen suffered nearly 1,000 casualties, and more than 400 were killed and seriously disabled, but the 7,000 cavalry sent by the Black Khanate only returned half.

In this process, the soldiers and horses are also lost, replenished, lost again, and replenished. The Han army, which was with Wang Sunsin, now numbered 3,000 men. The 3,000 Han soldiers all had horses, and they were two horses and one camel, and the officers carried three horses with them. One of them carried their belongings and armor, one rode on weekdays, and the rest was used in battle. If it is really domestic, it must be the elite that can be counted.

It's just that the officers and soldiers who followed him out of Yumen Pass accounted for only one-third of them, and the rest were the children of the Han family who lived on the Ganliang Road and in the Western Regions. There are many people who count up several generations before there is a Han ancestor. However, as long as you are honest and obedient and dare to fight, even if you stammer, you will still be a superior Han army.

In addition to the three thousand Han troops. The other 6,000 people are all miscellaneous armies from various countries and ministries along the way, and you have 500 and I have 300 of them. Except for some of the Uighur servants from Western Prefecture, the rest were from various tribes on the Ganliang Road. They followed Wang Sunchen for so long, and their cooperation with each other was not bad, and their combat effectiveness was also improved. In several big battles around Gaochang, their performance was also very good.

In this way, Wang Sunsin attacked all the way, and the Western Uighurs subdued them all. There must be many people who are rebellious, but those who dare to jump out should not exist now north of the desert.

Wang Sunsin braved the wind and snow and strode forward. It had only accumulated two or three inches of snow, and it creaked under the arrow boots.

As long as he was not marching and fighting, he would inspect the camps every morning and evening, even if it was windy and rainy, he never broke a day.

Whether it was the Han army camp around the Shuaifu, or a little farther away, Wang Sunchen would walk around every morning or evening, and then pick a random camp and sit down to eat with the soldiers.

If a soldier has a headache and brain fever, or hurts his muscles and bones, he goes to the military doctor, and Wang Sunchen's personal soldiers are also there to prescribe prescriptions and administer needles and medicines-after Han Gang, the generals in the Western Army, their personal soldiers can also be nurses at the very least, and the personal soldiers brought by Wang Sunchen from Xihe have all studied medicine in the hospital.

Wang Sunchen wanted everyone to know who led them into battle, who led them to make a fortune, and who helped them heal their illnesses.

There can only be one voice in the army, and that is the order of his king Sunchen.

Will not be pro-soldier, how can this be done?

After a pause in front of the gate, Wang Sunchen asked, "Where are the horses?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the horseman led Wang Sunchen's mount over, "Ruler." The horse is coming. ”

Wang Sunchen usually rides an old horse from Hexi, smart and docile. But he also had three Dawan Pegasus for battle, which he had snatched from the Uighurs. When Wang Sunchen wanted to travel, he always rode this old horse from Hexi, and then accompanied by three war horses that went into battle. After a big battle in the last barbarian before, they all took turns to fight. Now I am holding my head high in the wind and snow, and my spirits are very good.

Wang Sunchen turned over and got on the horse neatly.

He was originally not tall, but once he got on the horse, his momentum suddenly changed, and he was as pretentious as a dragon, looking like a majestic general.

Wang Sunsin's guards had already been waiting in front of the gate, and Wang Sunchen walked together, then hugged him and followed.

The city is extremely small, and it is out of the city in a blink of an eye. Except for the Han military camp, the other camps were set up outside the city, camped around the low city walls, and surrounded by wooden fences. In addition to this, Wang Sunsin also divided two hundred Han troops, each occupying a strategic point on the outskirts of the city to prevent enemy attacks—in terms of reliability, he only trusted the Han Chinese.

After inspecting several military camps, Wang Sunsin saw the situation of the tents. There is no shortage of food and drink, and it seems that there is no problem in eating.

There is no shortage of meat in the army. In several major battles, horses and camels captured countless people, and many were wounded and killed in battle. Cured meat, dried meat, piled up in the army. There are also conquered tribes, which can send hundreds of sheep at a time. Even the Han army also learned to drink crisp cheese and eat mutton. And pasta is also available, and the baked bread is eaten with broth, and one piece a day is enough for a soldier. The fodder for the horses and camels was a bit of a headache, but it was still able to support it. Don't worry about it anytime soon.

Just the fuel to ward off the cold is a headache. Just looking at the wind and snow in front of him, he knew that the materials for the winter could not be delayed any longer. You can't rely on straw entirely.

Wang Sunchen was considering whether to give up the plan of marching into the army, and first retreated to the city of Baiyin for the winter. Although he only hurried by when he came from Qiuzi, he was lucky enough to find a carboniferous mine. And it's a mineral deposit that can be mined immediately when it is outcropped.

This was discovered by one of Wang Sunsin's aides. Most of the staff he hired were Qi disciples. Among them, the two who followed him all the way over had studied in Hengqu Academy. They are very concerned about the topography, human geography, and special products of various places, and have made records along the way. The discovery of the coal was half a matter of luck and half of their efforts.

Wang Sunchen walked all the way through the camp, and everywhere he passed, the generals saluted one after another. Even his own soldiers were worshiped by many people.

The sound of the ruler with the accent of various places is endless.

All the way through the Ganliang Road, and the Western Regions were knocked down. Wang Sunsin is still nothing more than a ruler. I don't know when the reward of the court will be delivered,

The news from Tokyo City takes three to six months. If it is reinforcements, it will take three months just to come from Liangzhou. Seeing that winter is about to begin, according to the previous notice from Liangzhou, only two or three commanders can rush to Gaochang.

But that's nothing. No matter how high he rises, it can't be the level of the deputy head of Ganliang Road, it will only be a false title. Whether it is a capital eunuch or a ruler, it is just a name. In a radius of 3,000 miles north of this desert, the largest is Wang Shunchen. There was no civil official on the top of his head, and he was a eunuch who supervised the army, and he couldn't afford to get sick after Guazhou, and he didn't know if it was pretending or real, but he didn't follow him anyway.

This place is too remote. If it weren't for this benefit, he would have found a way to pull it back.

I don't know when the Anxi Protectorate was established, when I was still in Ganzhou, I was saying that the Western Regions would be established, and when I spent the winter in Yizhou, there was a new construction. But now that the entire Uighur territory of Western Prefecture has been defeated, there is still no news. Maybe the Beiting Protectorate was established first, who let the four towns of Anxi only take back Qiuzi and Yanqi - Yanqi was replaced by broken leaves several times, and it can only be counted as half - and Beiting was beaten down first.

"The last general will meet with the ruler."

In the next barracks, the generals who led the army came up to greet Wang Sunsin in a strange accent.
