At this moment, suddenly a black line appeared on the edge of the eastern desert, rushing towards Zhan Hailan and the Loulan people, and the Loulan people had no way to live under the attack from both sides.

"Drive."

The shouts of a large cavalry rang out from the eastern army.

"Chinese?"

Hope appeared on Zhan Hailan's dehydrated and anxious face, and the cavalry approached, and a large group of white-turbaned and masked cavalry swung their spears and swords to kill.

"The weapons of the Han people."

Zhan Hailan finally realized something, but he couldn't be sure in surprise until the cavalry walked into a woman who was also wearing a veil.

"Lori Emissary." Zhan Hailan lifted the hem of her skirt and galloped towards the gauze woman, and the gauze woman on the horse also saw Zhan Hailan.

"Princess La Mer."

The two women hugged each other tightly and wept with joy.

"Princess Hailan, I invited reinforcements from the Han Dynasty, look, that General Zhao is not right...... Princess, why are you all here, don't you...... Has Loulan fallen? Luo Li looked at the clansmen in the sea of sand and suddenly asked in shock, although she didn't hear the answer, Luo Li's face was already full of sadness.

Every Loulan person has a deep love for Loulan.

Zhan Hailan nodded painfully, and suddenly woke up: "Luo Li, quickly, call Han Jun to save my father Wang ......"

Needless to say, Zhao Yun had already led the army to kill the Shache camel team.

"The general of the Han Dynasty, Changshan Zhao Zilong, was ordered by Liu Zhang, the king of Shu, to rescue Loulan, and the resisters were killed."

The Han cavalry and the camel team clashed, and Zhao Yun took the lead in advancing his spear into the enemy formation. Invincible. As soon as he entered, he was shocked by the Shache army. The camel caravan was no match for the Han cavalry at all.

"The Han army is coming, withdraw, report to the queen, withdraw." The leader of the camel team shouted, and the camel team immediately turned and sailed into the depths of the sand sea.

"Don't chase this general, it's hard for the horses to catch up with the camel caravan in the desert." The rescued king suffered numerous wounds. Said to Zhao Yun in a weak voice.

Zhao Yun nodded, in fact, he didn't plan to chase at all, if Zhao Yun planned to chase, how could this king stop him.

War horses can fight here because this is already the edge of the desert, there is not so serious dehydration, if you dare to go deep into the desert, even if it is a bantam with strong endurance, where is the opponent of camels.

More than 200 camels were seized, and Zhao Yun had the wounded Loulan carried onto horses. As for the dead, they can only be buried in sand.

"Princess Loulan is blue in the sea. On behalf of my father, Tong Geluojia, the king of Loulan, visited the general of the Han Dynasty, thanked the Han Dynasty for sending troops to the Western Regions and rescued the vassals, and thanked the Han general Liu Zhang, the king of Shu, and Loulan will always respect the Han as the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire. ”

The Han army and the Loulan people passed through the Bailongdui together and came to the camp of the Han army, because the king of Loulan, Tong Geluojia, was seriously injured, and Zhan Hailan paid homage to Zhao Yun on behalf of Loulan.

"Thank you Liu Zhang, the king of Shu, for sending troops to save the country, Han Tianwei." The main members of Loulan paid homage to Zhao Yun together.

The messenger Luo Li looked a little lonely, the speed of his own search for reinforcements was not fast, he arrived in Chang'an on the third day, the Sichuan army began to gather troops, and from Chang'an to Xiliang all the horses galloped.

Throughout the ages, the rescue of the vassal states of the Shangguo has not been so fast, but I didn't expect that it was still too late, Loulan City and Haitou City had fallen, and even the prince Tujagya died in Haitou City.

Zhao Yun nodded slightly to the people in Loulan, and said in a deep voice: "Since Loulan has fallen, we are not in a hurry to engage in battle immediately, our Han army has just arrived, we should set up camp first, and the other 20,000 Xiliang troops will also arrive, you can rest assured, since Loulan is my Han vassal, we will defeat the Che division and restore the country for Loulan." ”

"Thank you, General." Zhan Hailan and the others saluted again, although they were eager to restore the country, but they also knew that what Zhao Yun said made sense, now that the Han army has come, there is no foundation for the fall of Loulan, and the first thing to solve is of course the foundation problem.

What's more, Zhan Hailan knew that even if Zhao Yun wanted to fight with Shache now, he wouldn't be able to accept it.

"Yang Zishang."

"The subordinates are here." A civil official came out in response, Yang Zishang's eloquence was good, and Liu Zhang originally asked him to follow Zhao Yun and deal with some diplomatic matters.

"Now that Loulan has fallen, it is impossible for our army to live in a camp tent in this bad weather in the Western Regions, there is a sand city in the southeast, called Thorn La City, which belongs to Ruoqiang Country, you go to negotiate and let Ruoqiang give up Thorn City to our army garrison." Zhao Yun said lightly.

"What if King Ruoqiang doesn't allow it?" Yang Zishang asked this sentence not to doubt his own ability, but to know his own hole cards, of course, a diplomat must know the bottom line of his side, especially the Western Regions There are many countries and complex relationships, and he needs to know what he can and can't come up with.

"Not allowed? Have you forgotten the purpose of our visit to the Western Regions? Zhao Yun looked at Yang Zishang coldly, and Yang Zishang snorted.

The Han army came here to reformulate the rules of the Western Regions, and all those who resisted the Han army were in the same stream as Shache, if Ruoqiang was unwilling to give up the city, it would of course be an act of resistance, that is, Zhao Yun would send troops to Ruoqiang.

Yang Zishang felt cold in the face of Zhao Yun and didn't dare to say anything, but as a civil official, he knew in his heart that the intricate Western Regions could not be as one-size-fits-all as Zhao Yun, either black or white, and many times he needed to maneuver and guide according to the situation.

But now presiding over Zhao Yun, Yang Zishang did not dare to disobey, and this is easier, a diplomat's hole card is to go to war, then there is basically no need to say anything, the diplomacy of a strong country is much simpler than that of a weak country.

Yang Zishang took the order and left, the Loulan people present felt a chill in their backs, these Han people seemed to be different from the Han people a hundred years ago, although the Han people who came before also wanted the Western Regions countries to submit, but they were thinking about how to get more support from the Western Regions countries.

Only when there is really no way to do it, do you hit one or two early birdies.

But now looking at the young and handsome generals, it seems that they are either friends or enemies, and they are about to go to war if they don't agree.

Zhan Hailan was thinking about it, a Loulan woman came anxiously to report, and her small mouth was about to speak to Zhan Hailan, seeing Zhan Hailan's eyes, she hurriedly bowed to Zhao Yun and said to Zhan Hailan: "Princess, go and take a look, Your Majesty is not good." ”

Zhan Hailan was anxious all of a sudden, hastily bowed to Zhao Yun, and went to the camp of his father, Tong Grojia.

A few days passed, because of the harsh healing environment, even if the Sichuan military doctor and the Loulan soil doctor tried their best, they still failed to save Tong Geluojia, Tong Geluojia died, and his daughter Zhan Hailan inherited the throne of Loulan.

Ruoqiang is only a small country, not enough for Zhao Yun's 10,000 cavalry to pinch, plus Ruoqiang, like Loulan, is also pro-Han, Yang Zishang did not threaten to start a war, and successfully borrowed the city of Thorn.

Zhan Hailan's simple inheritance ceremony was held in Thorn City, and at this time, Pang Tong followed the 20,000 Western Liang army to Shala City, and the Sichuan army was finally completed.

"Sir, now that we are stationed in Thorn La City, and Shache has captured the entire territory of Loulan, if we want to help Loulan restore the country, we must immediately attack Shache, but the last general feels that Bailongdui spans thousands of miles, and it is difficult for our war horses to cross, and we will inevitably suffer heavy losses."

Outside the blue of the sea held the royal ceremony, Zhao Yun said worriedly to Pang Tong, although Zhao Yun does not care about many things, but he is deeply aware of the difficulties in front of him, if Loulan did not fall, the Han army was stationed on the west bank of Puchanghai (Lop Nur) in time, Zhao Yun would not be afraid of Shache at all.

But now there is not only Pu Changhai in the middle, but also the White Dragon Dui in the Continent of Death, how can he run so far to Loulan, what is the difference between that and looking for death?

"General Zhao doesn't want to attack?" Pang Tong asked with a smile, when Huang Yueying came to Pang Tong's seclusion to find Pang Tong, Pang Tong really didn't want to come.

In his early years, Pang Tong was very utilitarian, and he wanted to make a career and silence those who looked down on him because of his ugliness.

But after going through many things, especially after breaking away from Liu Bei, Pang Tong got used to the pastoral life, and then he found that if a person does not have such a strong utilitarian heart, it is also very good to live a plain life like this.

So much so that when Huang Yueying found Pang Tong and asked him to lead the Western Expeditionary Army, Pang Tong was reluctant.

But Huang Yueying's last words completely made Pang Tong make up his mind, Huang Yueying didn't say anything else, just said that the lord Liu Zhang still has half a year to a year to live, and the conquest of the Western Regions is the last battle, I hope Pang Tong can make the lord have no regrets.

Pang Tong agreed to Huang Yueying, not only for Huang Yueying, in Pang Tong's heart, Liu Zhang should be the most important person to change his outlook on life and values in the first half of his life, if it weren't for Liu Zhang, he didn't know where he would be now.

Regardless of whether Pang Tong still has such an ardent utilitarian heart, Liu Zhang is the master of the Ming Dynasty in his heart, whether in the opposition or in the court, Pang Tong regards himself as a member of the Sichuan army, even if it is a pastoral life, it is also on the territory of the Sichuan army.

The end of the hero, who is not sad, Pang Tong resolutely agreed to Huang Yueying's request.

But Pang Tong could see that Huang Yueying actually wanted to come over by herself, just because Jingzhou still needed her, so she couldn't leave, and she didn't want to go away.

The relationship between Huang Yueying and Liu Zhang, Pang Tong, as Huang Yueying's friend, still knows, with Pang Tong's wisdom, he also knows that what Huang Yueying is worried about is that if she comes to the Western Regions, Liu Zhang will definitely be worried.

It's not that I'm worried about the battle of the Western Regions, but I'm worried about whether Huang Yueying can have a calm heart to assist Liu Xun after she goes, Huang Yueying doesn't want Liu Zhang to have this kind of worry, so she can only stay in the Central Plains as if nothing happened.

Pang Tong didn't say anything to Huang Yueying, but the purpose of his coming to the Western Regions was also to let the Great Han return to control the Western Regions.

"The attack will be defeated." Zhao Yun said with certainty that no matter what kind of army it is, no matter how strong it is, it will not be able to cross the desert and the Aral Sea to attack a coastal city.

"Then don't attack it." Pang Tong said casually.

"But." Zhao Yun said worriedly: "We are here to aid Loulan, if we are stationed in Thorna City and do not send troops, it will not only make the Loulan people dissatisfied, but also damage the prestige of our Han army." (To be continued......)
