The 20,000 Tang Army is already a large force in the Western Regions.

What's more, they also have so many advanced weapons, and all of them are riding and riding.

Or to put it more bluntly, they are infantry when they fight, and cavalry when they are pursuing and rushing.

The complete structure and frightening logistical supply capabilities have given the Tang Army the strength it has at present.

The 20,000 Tang soldiers were divided into two routes, one was led by Zuo General Li Daliang with 7,000 troops to Gaochang, and the other was led by Su Dingfang to personally lead 13,000 troops to aid Yanqi.

Yanqi is located in the southwest of Yiwu, and it is connected to the southwest of Yiwu, and to the south is the territory of Tuyuhun.

The army was mighty, and the two roads without concealment marched side by side, and on the way, they met some scouts, and Su Dingfang ignored them at all.

Theoretically, this arrogance is not conducive to combat.

But what Su Dingfang wants is this kind of arrogance, that is, to tell you directly, I am here, I will have such a few troops, you should hurry up and prepare.

A sneak attack or something may not be so convincing, but a decisive battle with a fair and honest victory, a decisive battle with less to win more, can play the prestige of the Tang Army.

What Su Dingfang wanted was the stability of the entire Western Regions, so that the Western Turks would completely lose their status as overlords, so that they could not pose a greater threat to the Tang army.

……

Tang Jun's undisguised actions were naturally seen by the countries of the Western Regions.

But even so, it scared them a lot.

"Report ......" A cavalryman hurriedly ran into the capital in a panic and went straight to the palace, the prosperous and luxurious palace did not make him feel a trace of jealousy, not that he regarded money as dung, but that he had no time to think about anything else.

"Report to the king, the Tang army is here."

"Tang Jun?" On the throne, Lu Wentai was stunned suddenly, and the crystal bead in his hand subconsciously slipped down, and exclaimed: "Didn't this king let you block the border?" Why did the Tang Army come? ”

"The minister doesn't know, but the border is indeed blocked, and I haven't seen anyone go to report it." Minister of War Shi Xu Fang replied with a frown.

Gaochang Kingdom is almost the same as the Tang Dynasty, and the imperial court department is divided into eight departments, officials, ancestral halls, warehouses, warehouses, hosts and guests, rites, civil departments, and military departments.

Each department has a long history, and he is the chief officer.

These long histories were only civilian officials, and they became the custom of the Central Plains Dynasty, and they only had administrative power, but no power to lead troops or any other power.

To block the border, the order was given by Xu Fang personally, and even some troops were transferred from other places to support, but the border is so long, it is still difficult to seal all the thousands of people.

"How many people are coming from the Tang Army? Who commanded the troops? "Ko Wentai forced himself to calm down, not to panic, absolutely not to panic.

The Tang Dynasty was just a strong man in the middle, and what he saw in front of him was not true.

For the strength of the Central Plains Dynasty, Lu Wentai has seen it with his own eyes and admires it very much.

But during the Zhenguan period, Ko Wentai once went to Chang'an to worship, although he showed enough loyalty at that time, but after returning to Gaochang, Ko Wentai knew that the Tang Dynasty was no longer the powerful Sui Dynasty in the past, so he completely fell to the Turks.

The down-and-out Chang'an City, in addition to its scale, does not seem to be as good as its own royal city, with traces of ruin everywhere and few repairs.

But even so, the Tang Army's pressure still made Lu Wentai feel a lot of pressure.

"About 20,000, divided into two parts, one went straight to Yanqi, and the other went straight to the royal city of about seven or eight thousand people, the step to Yanqi was a general surnamed Su, and the one who came to the royal city was a surnamed Li."

"What?" Ko Wentai was taken aback, but he couldn't calm down at this time.

He couldn't be calm, all the 20,000 Tang troops rushed to Yanqi, then he didn't worry, after all, he wasn't fighting alone, he just needed to release the news in advance.

But now, the Tang army was divided into two, one went to Yanqi and the other went to his own royal city.

What does Tang Jun want to do? Even a pig, now he can understand Tang Jun's intentions.

Xu Fang was also confused, seven or eight thousand people, if it was just a number.

Although he does not command the army, no one can know his own situation better than himself, the history of the military minister.

The total number of troops in the whole country is only 4,300 people, excluding the more than 2,000 people who guard the various cities, and the number of troops that the royal family can mobilize is only about 2,300 people.

What's even more tragic is that Gaochangguo only has more than 1,000 cavalry, and the remaining 1,000 or so are infantry.

With such a small number of troops, all of them are now deployed on the border to intercept the envoys of Yanqi and the Tang army, not to mention seven or eight thousand Tang troops, even five hundred Tang troops, and they can easily break through their defenses, if they are lucky, maybe less than a hundred people can do it.

Gaochangguo's troops were scattered outside, and they didn't need to face large-scale battles, so they had such a deployment.

"Where are they?" Xu Fang hurriedly asked.

"You must have entered our territory, right? The front line was found at a distance of less than five miles, and the Tang army did not have any cover at all, and they could be cut down from afar. ”

"Could it be a bluff?" Lu Wentai said with some unacceptability, the Tang army came for Mao to go straight to Gaochangguo? I still can't figure it out.

"Impossible!" Xu Fang said resolutely: "The Tang army has 50,000 troops in Yumen Pass alone, and now it has 20,000 troops, so there is no need to bluff at all, besides, there are not so many people near Yumen Pass that they can use to bluff." The only possibility is to transfer 10,000 from Yumen Pass, and draw 10,000 from Yiwu. ”

Xu Fang's words completely shattered Ko Wentai's illusions, Gao Changguo is very strong, but that is compared to several small surrounding countries.

In front of the Tang Dynasty, even the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and it was still not something that a Gaochang country could compete with.

"Quick, quickly send someone to negotiate with the Tang army and ask them why they are coming to my Gaochang Kingdom?" The illusion was gone, and there was only one last glimmer of hope left, and his face was a little hideous, and he continued: "Go and tell the Turks and ask them to send troops to support this king." ”

……

The speed of the Tang army was not fast, at least compared to the normal advance speed of the cavalry, the speed of the Tang army could be described as a snail.

Leaving Yiwu and entering Gaochang, you can see scattered Gaochang cavalry as far as the eye can see.

Li Daliang didn't even bother to let people clean up these Gaochang cavalry, but directly waved his hand, and the 7,000 army just advanced into the territory of Gaochang in front of the Gaochang people.

It's so domineering, it's so unreasonable.

But in front of the Tang army, which was armed to the teeth with 7,000 troops, Gao Changguo's scattered troops were no longer enough, even if General Weiyuan personally supervised the battle.

Well, forget it, General Weiyuan himself didn't dare to get too close, which of the soldiers below was a fool? It would be good if the Tang Army didn't come to trouble them, how could they dare to step forward to stop it?

The military system of Gaochang State was also similar to that of the Tang Dynasty, but some changes were made according to its own situation, and the highest-ranking military attachés were the left and right guard generals, followed by the five generals of Jianwu, Weiyuan, Lingjiang, Dianzhong, and Fubo.

The left and right guard generals were served by the second duke of Jiaohe and Tiandi, and rarely led troops to battle, so in fact, General Weiyuan was already the second-in-command in the Gaochang national army.

"Why are you again?" Li Daliang glanced at each other and said arrogantly.

A few days earlier, he had rejected the request of the self-proclaimed General Weiyuan.

The reason is that you are also a third-in-command in the army, and you want to see a fourth-in-command general, General Weiyuan? There are no doors, and at least there must be a general Jianwu.

It's just that I didn't expect that when there were only about a hundred miles left from the capital of Gaochang, the goods I asked to see a few days ago appeared again.

"......Forehead" Korean drama was full of embarrassment, if it was possible, he would rather hide far away, there was still a lot of pressure to follow Tang Jun, he didn't dare to delay, and continued to accompany the deputy smile and said: "General, I was promoted, and now I am General Jianwu......"

The most embarrassing promotion in history is also the most peaceful promotion, so General Yuan Jianwu is even willing to be General Weiyuan.

Korean dramas that have no choice but to come hard, and it won't work if you don't come, your family is all in the capital.

"What?" Li Daliang glanced at the other party with disdain on his face and asked coldly.

"General, I have come to negotiate with the general on the orders of my king, and I want to know why your army entered the territory of Gaochang?" The Korean drama asked stubbornly.

Negotiation bird, do you still need to negotiate now? Does it work?

The matter is so obvious, the ghost doesn't know what Tang Jun wants to do.

"Huh? Isn't this Igo? Could it be that General Ben is lost? Li Daliang pretended to be stunned and looked at the others around him in surprise.

The soldier in charge of the navigation shook his head and stood up and said, "Report to the general, our army has not lost its way, and it is indeed in the territory of Yiwu at present." ”

On which one is stronger when he opens his eyes and talks nonsense, Li Daliang dares to say second, and his one who joins the army does not dare to say first.

If he hadn't known that this place was only about a hundred miles away from the royal city, he would have believed that this was Yiwu.

"General don't be funny, this place is only less than a hundred miles away from the Gaochang Royal City, how can it be in Yiwu? You have entered the territory of Gaochang for more than 200 miles. The Korean drama continued.

"General Ben will ask you a question first, and then I'll reply to you when you can answer it." Li Daliang waved his hand, looked at the Korean drama with a playful attitude, and continued to ask, "Are your reinforcements coming?" ”

"Huh?" The Korean drama was stunned for a moment, and then his heart was shocked, and he said with a little horror: "General...... General, what do you mean by this? ”

Li Daliang smiled, did not answer the question of Korean dramas, learned from Su Dingfang's appearance, put on a posture that he thought was very pretending to be B, and looked up at Tiandao: "This place used to be your Gaochang's, but now she is from the Tang Dynasty, and the places where the general has passed are all the ...... of the Datang territory."
