…… In the early years, the Jiuqu area was controlled by the Tubo people, and Geshuhan established the border town of Weiwei, and after the large and small battles with the Tibetans, they occupied the Jiuqu area, effectively blocking the connection between the Turks and the Tibetans.

Geshuhan attaches great importance to this area, in recent years, it is a great defense and construction of fortifications, Tubo is naturally very eager for this land, seeing that Geshuhan is going to make this area impregnable, if it is allowed to be so, it is tantamount to a fool's dream to recapture it, it is to see the opportunity for Geshuhan to send a large army to deal with the Turks, and want to gain control of the Jiuqu area.

The Tubo people saw that the support for this Turkic remnant over the years had finally achieved results, and that Umiden really attracted the attention of the Tang army, and 60,000 elite soldiers went to the Mobei grassland to attack the remnant, and even Ge Shuhan went in person, and Tubo certainly would not let go of this opportunity.

There are as many as 140,000 troops under the command of Geshuhan, but they are separated in Hexi and Longyou, and obviously they can't be suddenly summoned, not to mention that this time Geshuhan personally went out to fight, Hexi Longyou group of dragons has no leader, and the army can't respond at the first time, and it is easier to take it down, and Tubo got the news of the Turks this time, and has long been fully prepared for this battle, and secretly gathered a large number of troops, Geshuhan marched into the grassland for nearly four days, even if it is obvious that the army can no longer be withdrawn from Mobei to reinforce, even if it is done, It's too late, this is Tubo's calculation.

In fact, the 50,000 soldiers gathered in Tibet launched a fierce attack on the Jiuqu area at night, as expected, the Tang army guarding was afraid to hide in the city wall and did not dare to come out, and then launched several sieges, although no substantial progress was made, but after all, it was to explore the bag and take things, and within three days, it was bound to be taken.

At this time, Ge Shuhan did not go deep into the hinterland of the grassland, but sent the Chishui army. The Yumen army went first, he claimed to lead the Doulu army, but he stayed at Ximen Pass and waited for two days, so far the Tang army was divided into three parts to attack the Turks, but the speed of the march was not fast, Xu Chen's vanguard troops were even more slow, and they trumpeted the expedition, but they were advancing like a turtle, and they were deceived by the Turks and Tubo for a while.

And this time, Ge Shuhan's deliberate stay was only discussed with Xu Chen. After all, such a thing will inevitably mess up the morale of the army when it spreads, and Tubo may not really attack Jiuqu, so for the sake of insurance, Ge Shuhan trumpeted that the whole army approached the grassland and went straight to the Jade Valley, and the Chishui Army and other armies in the middle of Xu Chen's vanguard army actually had as many as 40,000 people walking in the grassland, and Ge Shuhan was just waiting for news from Tubo.

The more Ge Shuhan thinks about it in recent days, the more wrong it becomes. It was to secretly send troops from all over the country to march to the Jiuqu area one after another, and the dynamics of Tubo naturally did not escape the eyes of the old fox. The Jiuqu area has long been ordered by Ge Shuhan, once the Tubo sneak attack, swear to hold on, and wait for the army to arrive to encircle and annihilate the Tubo. Therefore, the officers and soldiers who defended the city on the Jiuqu side have also gathered a lot, and they have been ordered to only defend the city and not take the initiative to attack.

Sure enough, Ge Shuhan's wait was not in vain. It was already a day after learning the news of the invasion of Tibet, Geshuhan was busy from Ximen Pass to Jiuqu reinforcements, and the army gathered from all over Longyou was also quietly on the way, and Geshuhan's contradiction was that the fight for the Turks was on the bow and had to be sent, and the whole country was watching because of the expedition of this horse, and Geshuhan had to let go of the Turks to reinforce Jiuqu this time, and handed over the military power to his deputy envoy to cooperate with Xu Yuma to crusade against the Turks.

This is Ge Shuhan's major decision, the danger factor is quite high, the emperor sent the horse to mix the military merits, of course, to rely on Ge Shuhan to escort, once the Turkic conquest of what unpredictable things happened, what danger the horse has, and even the whole army has any mistakes, Ge Shuhan can not afford to wait, and the importance of the Jiuqu area can not be lost, Ge Shuhan saw that Tubo moved all his strength naturally did not dare to slacken, this time if Tubo is defeated, Tubo will stop for a while, strategically far more realistic than the Turkic expedition.

When Zhu Di drove his own expedition to Mongolia, a war in exchange for ten years of peace on the border is exactly the case, the peaceful military solution of the border town is undoubtedly the most effective way, this time Tubo sent the main force out, Ge Shuhan did not want to let go of the opportunity, and for Xu Yuma, through these few days of getting along, Ge Shuhan has affirmed the actions of the horse, and the horse and the military power and training soldiers obviously want a chance to show their talents, Ge Shuhan is also forced to put down the matter of conquering the Turks.

Ge Shuhan must be extremely entangled, but it will not happen to any major incident, after all, there are still 50,000 soldiers who went out to conquer the Turks this time, and 20,000 against the Turks are still sure to win, not to mention that Ge Shuhan handed over the military power to his own lieutenant general, and the horse is obviously familiar with the way of using troops, and it will not be possible to flee back in embarrassment, but what Ge Shuhan is worried about is that in case, once the battle is lost, the responsibility will still fall on him.

Of course, this possibility is not very big in Ge Shuhan's opinion, but what he doesn't know is that among the 60,000 elite soldiers he recruited, there are not only Yang Guozhong's cronies who have inserted him, but also the internal response of the Turks, and there may even be the infiltration of the Yang family's secret forces.

Bian Lingcheng after learning that Ge Shuhan turned around to support Jiuqu, he raised a strong protest, as the old emperor sent the prison army, naturally knew the emperor's intentions, Ge Shuhan at this time where to care about this big eunuch, led the Doulu army to Jiuqu, Bian Lingcheng was helpless, but did not follow Ge Shuhan to Jiuqu, but led the rest of the troops to the grassland.

The degree of favor of the horse in front of the emperor is not even comparable to Yang Guozhong, and the emperor sent him to supervise the army......

The conquest army arrived at Yugu after the sixth day of entering the grassland, this is the territory of Hui begging, and there is not much risk, the earlier marching plan is to meet the whole army in Yugu, Xu Chen's vanguard troops arrived first, and after resting for a day and a half, the Chishui army and other armies also arrived one after another, and half a day later, Ge Shuhan's military order was transmitted here.

As soon as everyone heard that Ge Shuhan had gone to reinforce Jiuqu, the army was in an uproar, and the military order ordered the deputy envoy Wang Sixun to command the whole army, and cooperate with the horses to attack the Turks, in fact, the military power had been indirectly handed over to Xu Chen.

Of course, this depends on how Wang Sixun looks at this matter, although he is the commander of the whole army, but the horse is the commander of the march and the vanguard officer, and Ge Shuhan's military order is written to fight together, which means that Wang Sixun and this horse are on an equal footing, and the elite troops of the expedition team are held in the hands of the horse, and Ge Shuhan has transferred a part, and Wang Sixun actually has jurisdiction over only the soldiers such as the Dadou Army and 20,000 infantry.

Wang Sixun naturally didn't have the courage not to put the horse in his eyes, Ge Shuhan has been discussing military affairs with this horse alone for the past few days, which has already made Wang Sixun very puzzled, this horse is so young that Ge Shuhan is so important? Now he is instructed to cooperate with the horse to fight, Wang Sixun naturally understands the stakes, but Ge Shuhan indirectly handed over the military power to this horse, what is the purpose of Ge Shuhan, and he Wang Sixun does not dare to speculate.

Even if he wants to tie up with this colt, or value the talent of this colt, since Ge Shuhan's military order is here, he has nothing to say, what does the colt tell him to do, and he fights together, he doesn't dare to offend the colt because of his disadvantage and disobedience to the command, and in case of defeat, the colt will definitely find someone to make a scapegoat, and it will be no good for anyone to offend him.

Xu Chen had expected such a result, after gathering troops in Yugu, Xu Chen did the last general mobilization of the war, encouraging the sergeants, because of Ge Shu Deying's affairs, they were naturally impressed by this concubine, and the drills in the army before the expedition were also extremely strict, and the military prestige was invisibly formed among the sergeants.

This jade valley is the effective control range of the Hui beggars, and the west of the jade valley is to the center of the desert steppe, and the Turkic nest is here.

If Yang Guozhong does not hesitate to use the rout of the whole army to erase Xu Chen, it will really be bloody, and Yang Guozhong can do just that, and Yang Guozhong can do just that, in his eyes, there is only politics, regardless of the cost, only revenge, and reckless of the consequences.

This army is very complicated, trying to find out who is Yang Guozhong's cronies and who is the Yang family's secret force, it is tantamount to a fantasy, and it is precisely this hidden force that is enough to pose a threat, Xu Chen has to act carefully.

Xu Chen led the vanguard to advance to the west from the Yugu, the front army scout came back regularly to report, there was nothing abnormal along the way, this is really deep into the hinterland, the vanguard troops can not rush forward, and the infantry behind must also respond at any time, the army is divided into two batches, but the interval is not far, the grassland in Mobei is very cold and windy in such a season, and the biting wind blows on the face like a knife, except for the hills in the grassland, it is difficult to have anything to resist, let the cold wind whistling.

The location of the Turkic nest has long been determined, but this Turkic person is highly mobile and can move his nest at any time, and the Tang army is on his territory, they will definitely not be able to hide and hide, not to mention that these 40,000 or 50,000 troops will easily bump into each other on the small territory of the Turks, it is only a matter of time.

While marching, the army detectives came in a hurry to report, and a detachment of Turkic cavalry appeared in front, numbering nearly 5,000 people.

Xu Chen grabbed the reins of his horse and smiled, did the Turks let these five thousand cavalry perform, or did they come to die...... (To be continued......)
