July, it is the hottest season of the year in Tocharo, the heat wave is like a flowing fire rolling on the ground, scorching everything on the earth, but near the city of Achu, the royal city of the Yueshi Governor's Mansion, a devastating battle is being fought on the vast Gobi Desert, seven thousand Tang Anxi cavalry wielded their swords, the banner is flying, the sword light is flashing, chasing the thousands of defeated and fleeing Yue's rout, the arrows are like dense rain, overwhelmingly chasing and killing the defeated army, countless people screaming and turning over and falling off their horses, the shouts of fear, begging for mercy, are drowned out by the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, A Yueshi soldier raised his hands and knelt on the ground begging for mercy, and a Tang military captain galloped over, shouting like thunder, and slashed sideways with a horizontal knife, the war knife slashed over the soldier's shoulder, ruthlessly cutting off the head of the Yueshi soldier, tying the human head to the horse and whistling past, and then hunting the next target.

This is Gao Xianzhi's Tocharian battle started, returning from the attack on the Shushi country, Gao Xianzhi rested in Shihannatun troops, and finally received the approval of the imperial court to send troops to Tocharian in late June, and at the same time received the news that he was appointed as the envoy of the Beiting Festival, Gao Xianzhi was very excited, and immediately ordered Feng Changqing to go to Beiting to receive the army, and rectify it on the spot in order to consolidate the control of the Beiting army, and the deputy general Li Siye suggested that the Beiting army be transferred to defend Broken Leaves, but was vetoed by Gao Xianzhi, just got an army, and the top priority was by no means to use it, Instead, it is necessary to firmly control it in his hands first, and only by turning this army into his own can he use it handily, so cleaning Li Qing'an's descendants has become the most important content of Gao Xianzhi's instructions to Feng Changqing.

Gao Xianzhi also made careful arrangements for the Tocharian campaign, including increasing the army of Xiaobolu Tianbao Guiren, while leaving 3,000 military horses to guard the capital of the Shushi country, Ba Luo Luo City, and sent 3,000 troops to guard the eastern section of the Honey Road, and laid down heavy troops to prevent the Tubo army from attacking the Tang army from behind, while waiting for the imperial court order, he sent a large number of scouts to explore the strength of the Tocharian countries, he found that the Great Food Army had withdrawn Tocharian due to the civil war, although the Tocharian countries had many troops, but the combat effectiveness was far inferior to the Tang army, Although Gao Xianzhi only brought eight thousand Anxi troops, he didn't take these timid and incompetent, backward equipment Yueshi people to heart, in the past few years, he swept through Tocharo, which battle was not to defeat the enemy army in a battle, he Gao Xianzhi is known as the king of the mountains, how can he not win a hundred battles?

Gao Xianzhi's only concern was the southern area of Tocharo, known locally as Punjab and Sindh, which had already been captured by the Great Food Army decades ago, and if he attacked Tocharian on a large scale, would the Great Food Army in these two places react? However, with the news brought by several merchants, his worries were dispelled, and after the outbreak of the Great Food Civil War, most of the Great Food Army in Punjab and Sindh had been transferred back to the West, and the remaining thousands of people were to guard against the local rebellion, and they were simply unable to go north to interfere with the Tang Army's Battle of Tochar.

Gao Xianzhi was completely relieved, Tubo was locked in the plateau and could not go west, and the Great Food Civil War had no time to take care of the east, so Tocharian was his Gao Xianzhi's world.

"Marshal, the Yue Clan's army has been defeated, and the defenders in Ah Shu City are less than a thousand!" A scout lieutenant brought the most exciting news.

"Well done!"

Gao Xianzhi stared at the swarthy Yue Clan's capital in the distance, and ordered: "Pass my order, the soldiers will attack Ashu City and have a three-day holiday!" ”

When the news came out, the Tang army thundered with joy and morale, and they all rushed towards Ashu City regardless of their bodies, at this time, the deputy general Li Siye was shocked and hurriedly persuaded: "Don't be handsome, there are many small Tocharian countries, most of them are the same clan of the Yue clan, if we set up troops to loot, I am afraid it will arouse the hatred of the Tocharian countries, but it will affect the progress of our army." ”

Gao Xianzhi smiled proudly, "I don't know this truth, but you only know one, you don't know the other, if there is the support of the Great Cannibal Army, maybe they will have the heart to resist, but the Great Cannibal Civil War has been flawless since ancient times, and the Tocharian countries have become frightened birds, and they will be defeated in a battle, how can they talk about the same enemy?" In the past, my Datang appeased them too much, gave them money and rewards, and named them high-ranking officials, but what was the result? As soon as the big cannibals came, they abandoned their armor and surrendered, taking the big food as the new master, where do you still remember the kindness of the Tang Dynasty, this time I will kill them, so that they will never dare to betray the Tang Dynasty again. ”

"But the king of Jumi also asked the Tang Dynasty for help, begging the Tang Dynasty to send troops to rescue Tocharo, Tocharian many small countries, they were unable to resist the Great Food, so they were forced to surrender, we are here to save them from fire and water, how can we do the opposite? Missive, please think again! ”

"Don't say any more!" Gao Xianzhi interrupted Li Siye's hard persuasion, and said with a gloomy face: "I will treat it differently, the heart is to the Tang Dynasty, the living, the heart is to the great eater, destroy it!" ”

He pointed at the Tang soldiers who were running excitedly and said: "You have also seen it, if you don't set the troops to loot, if you don't give benefits to the soldiers, how to arouse their morale, I have led the troops for many years, and I know the way to use the army better than you, General Li, don't say much, just obey my orders." ”

Li Siye saw that Gao Xianzhi insisted on going his own way, so he had to sigh secretly, and did not dare to say more, at noon, the Tang army broke through the city of Ashu, seven thousand Tang troops swarmed in, looting in the city, the city was on fire, the residents cried and shouted, the king Napolo abandoned his wife and daughter, fled west in a panic, and with the Tang army captured the palace, the city of Ashu fell into a miserable rain.

．．．．．．． In the evening, the logistics unit of the Tang army escorting military supplies arrived, and in the team, Gao Wu, who was dressed in armor, was very excited, and asked Zhao Chongyu, the envoy of Shule soldiers and horses, from time to time: "Uncle Zhao, when will I be able to meet the enemy, I can't wait." ”

Zhao Chongyu secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, because Li Qing'an was arrested, the handsome was afraid that this baby daughter would go to the capital to make trouble, so he ordered him to bring her too, in order to appease her, he also specially sealed her the position of a school captain, where would she really go into battle to fight, he saw that Gao Wu was serious, full of swords and arrows, and looked like he could go into battle at any time, so he smiled and said: "Wu Niang, even if the enemy army passes in front of you, if there is no order from the commander, you are still not allowed to do it, this is a military regulation, and if you disobey the military regulations, you will be killed." ”

Gao Wu frowned and said, "Why?" The enemy is not allowed to move in front of you? ”

Zhao Chongyu explained to her with a smile: "Because if you don't know the deployment of the marshal, a casual reckless attack is likely to cause a big deal." ”

Gao Wu also decided that there was some truth in his heart, but he refused to admit it in his mouth, and muttered: "How can there be such a reason, the enemy will not move in front of him, what if he comes to kill you?" ”

"Huh! That's another matter, Wu Niang, I mean that if you want to fight, you have to get your father's permission to fight. ”

"Him! He wouldn't say yes. ”

"That's right, the big handsome are not allowed, how dare we agree?"

The surrounding soldiers all laughed together, and Gao Wu was unhappy, and shot an arrow at a willow tree fifty paces away, and the arrow was nailed to the willow tree accurately, and the soldiers suddenly became silent.

After walking for more than an hour, everyone finally arrived at the Tang Army's camp, where all kinds of looted things were piled up in the open space, groups of prisoners of war and ordinary people were walking hand and foot, and dozens of human traffickers who had heard the news were bargaining with the Tang Army to buy some young men and women.

Gao Wu's brows furrowed, this would be like this, when did Tang Jun become a robber? At this time, more than 100 Tang soldiers escorted a large group of fleeing old and weak women and children to meet them, Tang Jun held leather whips, galloped left and right and scolded, a little slower, then a whip split the head and pulled down, women and children were all in tattered clothes, crying and crying, Gao Wu saw that many of those women and children were unclothed, a large area of skin was exposed, and the skin was covered with blood marks of leather whips, and even many women and children were holding children.

Gao Wu was furious, urging him to step forward and shout, "Stop! ”

Few officers and soldiers of the Anxi Army did not know Gao Wu, and a captain hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Miss Wu, is there something wrong?" ”

Gao Wu pointed at the women and children and reprimanded: "These are ordinary refugees, is it necessary for you to deal with them so fiercely?" ”

The lieutenant hurriedly explained: "Girl Wu, they are not ordinary refugees, they are all the wives and daughters of the king of the Yue clan, they changed into ordinary people's clothes and wanted to escape, but they were caught by the brothers, and the commander ordered us to escort them to the camp to be strictly guarded, and they will be escorted to the capital to sacrifice prisoners in the future." ”

"They are all women and children, do you still have military discipline for abusing women and children like this?"

At this time, Gao Wu suddenly found that many young women were even naked, she was extremely angry in her heart, pulled out her knife and pointed at the captain and said hatefully: "If you don't explain it clearly today, I will kill you on the spot!" ”

The captain's expression was quite embarrassed, the situation in Ah Shu City was much more tragic than this, there were stripped naked women everywhere, what was this? He opened his mouth for a long time before he said: "It was the marshal who ordered the brothers to take a three-day holiday, and not to talk about military discipline for three days, Miss Wu misunderstood!" ”

Gao Wu couldn't believe her ears, it was her father who ordered, she put the knife into the sheath, and said angrily to the captain: "You quickly place them, dress them well, and don't abuse them anymore, whoever dares to insult them again, I will kill them!" ”

She turned her horse's head and galloped towards the big tent of the Chinese army.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Gao Xianzhi is receiving Luo Quanjie, the king of Gulu who has just arrived, and the country of Gulu is also a country established by the Yueshi people, but unlike other small countries of Tocharo that have surrendered to Dashi, the country of Gulu has always been biased towards the Tang Dynasty, and this time Gao Xianzhi's decision to conquer Tocharo was largely based on the advice of Luo Quanjie, the king of Gulu.

After the historical Dayue clan moved west to the Tocharian region, after nearly a thousand years of evolution, it has been divided into countless small countries, among which several larger countries benefited from the large amount of wealth brought by the Silk Road, and gradually became stronger, the Gudu country and the Yueshi country are one of them, but the two countries are fighting for the dominance of the Tocharian region, long-term discord, this time the Tang army destroyed the Yueshi country, and the king of Gulu, Luo Quanjie, saw the hope of unifying Tocharo, and specially came to discuss the matter with Gao Xianzhi.

Luo Quanquan spoke fluent Chinese, he stood with his hands down, and said respectfully to Gao Xianzhi, who was sitting in the handsome seat: "The combat power of the Tang army makes Xiao Wang extremely admired, I dare to assert that the big marshal can sweep Tocharo in less than a month, and it is easy to defeat Tocharo, but I don't know how the big marshal is going to deal with the aftermath?" ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, Gao Xianzhi understood his intention, so he smiled and said: "If you are willing to come to clean up the aftermath for me, it is not impossible, but you must ensure the supply of military supplies for my Tang army, as well as the property that my soldiers deserve." ”

Luo Quanjie didn't expect Gao Xianzhi to be so happy, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Marshal, there is no problem with military rewards, as long as I can unify Tocharo, I will definitely be loyal to the Tang Dynasty and help jointly resist the eastward expansion of the Great Food." ”

"Nope! It was to resist the westward advance of Tibet. ”

"Yes! Be! As long as the Tang Army supports me, I will definitely protect Tocharian for the Tang Dynasty. ”

At this moment, the voices of the guards suddenly came from the door: "Fog girl, Dashuai has an important guest, you can't go in!" ”

"Get out of the way!"

The curtain was raised, and Gao Wu burst in angrily
