The grassland in the early morning is wrapped in the rising sun, as dazzling as a layer of Yin Hong's blood. 『，

A cavalry roared out, and the earth trembled. This cavalry was outnumbered, stretching from the western skyrim to the end of the east, and still not ending. They rode majestic horses, carrying heavy and sharp swords at their waists, and they were murderous, but their armor was colorful and strangely shaped.

This cavalry is Wang Fangyi's Western Regions Alliance.

This time, Wang Fangyi received an order from Li Hong, asking him to collect 100,000 elite cavalry from the Western Regions to aid Liangzhou, in addition to bringing 10,000 Western Regions iron cavalry, the rest of the 90,000 troops around him were all borrowed from the kings of the 38 countries of the Western Regions.

Now, he is a well-deserved king in the Western Regions, and who dares to disobey his orders.

"Governor Dadu, why don't we go back to General Li and them, but continue to go south, are we going to Hezhou City?" Ah Man suddenly asked. He was very strange that Wang Fangyi didn't go to join forces with Li Jingxuan and others to encircle and suppress Lu Dongzan, but led his troops south, ignoring the Lu Dongzan army that was fighting against Li Jingxuan, which made him very strange, could it be that he had asked himself to discuss with Li Jingxuan and them how to annihilate Lu Dongzan's army and capture Lu Dongzan alive, all of this was fake?

Wang Fangyi stepped forward and rode on horseback, his expression very grim.

He glanced at the sky in front of him, and said in a sonorous tone, "Aman, do you know that there is a saying in our middle of the world that we know ourselves and know our opponents, and win all battles?" ”

"I don't read much, so I don't know much about the meaning of this sentence." Ah Man replied honestly.

"Who is Lu Dongzan? You don't know, but that doesn't mean Governor Pontus doesn't know. This man is insidious and cunning, and he is a ruthless, power-hungry man. For such a person, he can do anything to survive. Therefore, if you want to capture him alive, you can't judge him according to conventional thinking. ”

"What does the Metropolitan Governor mean that Lu Dongzan will do some crazy things in order to escape for his life?" Ah Man asked, his performance was surprised, when did this Grand Governor become so wise? At the beginning of the Western Regions, when he collected 100,000 iron horsemen, the means can be described as ruthless, because the king of Loulan did not listen to his conscription order, he led his troops to rush into the palace of the king of Loulan, and killed the people who offered advice to the king of Loulan in front of the king of Loulan, and the frightened king of Loulan promised to send 8,000 iron horsemen to accompany him on the expedition. There is also a country called Shule, because the king despised the Tang Dynasty and despised the governor, the governor led his troops to rush into the palace, killed the king on the spot, and randomly supported the king's younger brother to become the king.

Therefore, in Ah Man's heart, the heroic and somewhat elegant governor in front of him does not look like a wise man, but more like a reckless man and a butcher.

But now after listening to Wang Fangyi's words, he realized how false his cognition was.

"That's right, if the Governor of Pontus predicts it right, this time Lu Dongzan will use his subordinates as bait to lure Li Jingxuan's attention, and then take the opportunity to escape." Wang Fangyi said flatly, "But he wouldn't have thought of it, how could I let him succeed?" This time, His Royal Highness went to the northwest in person, the purpose was to capture Lu Dongzan alive and destroy 200,000 elite horsemen of Lu Dongzan. If I can't even do this single thing, how can I assist His Highness in achieving immortal hegemony? ”

Since being appreciated by Li Hong and supported by Li Hong, Wang Fangyi's personality has changed, and his ambitions have also changed, especially after knowing Li Hong's thoughts, he has become more ruthless.

Because he knows very well what Li Hong's ambition is, and if he wants to accomplish such a big ambition, he must have the support of a group of people who are cold enough, and he Wang Fangyi is willing to be such a person.

Besides, the dream of a military general is to expand the territory and make contributions to the country.

Now following Li Hong, he can have the opportunity to do both, so why should he stick to some red tape?

Conquering the world requires ruthless means, and conquering the world requires cruel means.

"Metropolitan Governor, are we going to intercept Lu Dongzan now?" Aman asked. All he had was to follow Wang Fangyi, instead of being loyal to the king of Loulan, because he knew that only by following Wang Fangyi could he have meat to eat, because Wang Fangyi's post-Tai His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty was the future Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, he could see that Wang Fangyi was a person with ideals and ambitions, and following such a person could make contributions and glorify his ancestors. Ah Man really wants to live in Datang and be an official in Datang. Therefore, following Wang Fangyi was his only choice.

"Yes." Wang Fangyi said, "According to my guess, Lu Dongzan will send some of his men and horses to take the initiative to attack Li Jingxuan and them, so that he will have the opportunity to lead some of his men and horses to leave quietly and secretly return to Tibet." Now there are about 100,000 elite horsemen in Tibet, if Lu Dongzan returns to Tibet, with his prestige in Tibet, that is, His Royal Highness wants to send troops to Tibet, and it is difficult to say whether he can attack Tibet. If Lu Dongzan dies and the Tubo dragons are leaderless, when the iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty sets foot on the plateau, the Tubo people will be terrified and surrender without a fight. ”

"The Governor is wise." Aman said with emotion. No wonder the other party will gain the trust and respect of the prince of the Tang Dynasty, this consciousness, this talent, is really not comparable to ordinary people.

"Aman, you give the order to go down and let the army speed up the march, we will go to the Miro River before dark, I guess the best route for Lu Dongzan to return to Tibet is to take the Miro River." Wang Fangyi said.

"No!" Ah Man took the order and rode away.

In fact, Wang Fangyi had 100,000 troops around him, and he could separate them and pursue Lu Dongzan separately. However, this coalition army is mixed, the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions are fighting endlessly, and there is a lot of hatred among the soldiers, if there is no one, no one can suppress these people, except for their own orders, no one listens to anyone. So he had no choice but to do so. When necessary, show force, killing is the only solution. It's like he forced the king of Loulan to send troops. But in many cases, killing will never solve the problem. Especially in this situation, it is all the more necessary to stabilize the morale and morale of the military.

The 36 countries of the Western Regions have very few troops, and the iron cavalry is even less, otherwise Wang Fangyi could not have recruited only 100,000 horses for the iron cavalry of the 36 countries.

However, for the sake of interests, the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions have been constantly fighting each other, and their cavalry is also very strong.

Wang Fangyi ordered the army to march hastily, and at ten o'clock in the evening, they rushed to the Miro River.

The Miro River is not really a river, but a Gobi. Once upon a time, the Miro River was a river with clear and sweet waters, the only river that nourished this grassland for hundreds of miles. But after the passage of time, time flies. The drinking water of the Miro River slowly dried up, and the grasslands of the nearby hundreds of miles slowly turned into the Gobi.

When he arrived at the Miro River, Li Hong sent nearly a thousand scouts to the vicinity to reconnoiter the enemy, and he ordered the army to camp and rest.

After dinner, the scouts came with the news that Lu Dongzan's army had approached the Milo River, and that it was only forty miles away from it.

When Wang Fangyi heard the news, a faint smile appeared on his face, which had always been serious, and his guess was right, Lu Dongzan still chose to take this path.

The reason why he dared to conclude that Lu Dongzan took this road was because this road had a Gobi of more than 300 ceremonies, and ordinary people did not dare to take this road, unless they were very familiar with the nearby terrain. Lu Dongzan wants to get rid of the pursuit of the Tang Dynasty's pursuers, and it is most appropriate to take this road.

"Forty miles, how long will it take?" Wang Fangyi asked.

"It will take about four hours." Aman said.

"Go down and command the army, let them rest for two hours, and after two hours be ready for battle." Wang Fangyi ordered.

Ah Man took the order and bowed down and withdrew from the big tent.

"Lu Dongzan, this time I see where else can you run? If my 100,000 army can't catch you, then how can I, Wang Fangyi, lead the army to fight, how can I storm the city and sweep the world? Wang Fangyi said in a low voice.

As long as Lu Dongzan is captured alive, his merit is enough to make him sit firmly in the position of the governor of the Western Regions. The position of the Grand Governor of the Western Regions played a pivotal role in Li Hong's conquest of the Western World, so Wang Fangyi attached great importance to it.

And the 100,000 iron cavalry recruited this time did not participate in the battle, did not lose men and horses, and when the war was over, he was not ready to let them go back, he wanted to stay by his side, he wanted to turn the 100,000 army into the army of the Western Regions Governor's Mansion, and when the prince conquered the Western World, these 100,000 iron cavalry could be the vanguard.

The Tibetan delegation went to Chang'an to meet Gaozong, and he heard that the dog was unhappy with the prince in the dog arena Loulan nobles, and used his own money to suppress the prince, which was the real reason why Wang Fangyi led his troops into the palace and beheaded his favored ministers in front of the king of Loulan. And he also heard about the arrogance and brutality of the big cannibal man in black at this dog fighting competition. Sitting in the Western Regions, how could he not know about this powerful Western Empire? Therefore, he knew very well that if the prince conquered the Western world, the first thing he would face would be the black-clothed Great Food Country. The cavalry of the black-clothed cannibals was very powerful, and the number of cavalry was also quite large, estimated at six or seven hundred thousand, and nearly 400,000 foot soldiers, a total of millions of people. If you want to defeat this country, you can't do without elite soldiers around the prince. Therefore, Wang Fangyi considered that he was not ready to return the 100,000 troops to the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions.

As long as there are these 100,000 iron cavalry, plus the capture of Tibet, the formation of a 100,000-strong Tubo elite cavalry, the capture of Goryeo, Silla and Baekje, and the recruitment of 200,000 troops, the prince's hands alone have 400,000 troops of the subject country, and the Tang Dynasty will mobilize 200,000 elite cavalry, 100,000 foot soldiers to accompany them, a total of 700,000 troops, plus sophisticated weapons and equipment, he will not be able to destroy the Great Food Country.

As long as the Great Cannibal is destroyed, 200,000 elite horsemen will be selected from the Great Cannibal's descending strokes and continue to attack westward.

This is the real plan for hegemony.

If you have to attack the world with the army of the Tang Dynasty, it is estimated that you will occupy the world, and there will not be many soldiers left in the Tang Dynasty at that time.
