Chapter 51 Surrender One after another
"Rumble!" Gu Taibai led the guards and fled in panic, his face extremely ugly.
Gu Taibai led his army eastward this time to prepare for Yusuf's eastward crusade, to take Pakistan and Afghanistan, and to make these two places into advance bases, so as to solve the problem of money and food for the Arab Empire's eastward crusade.
He made good progress at the beginning, but he didn't expect that he would encounter Tang Jun so quickly, which caught him a little off guard.
This defeat would have wiped out his victory. You don't have to think about it to know that the Tang army will take advantage of his new defeat to advance westward, seize the land he occupies, and steal the fruits of his victory.
And that's not the most uncomfortable thing for him. What made him most uncomfortable was that he had lost the possibility of becoming the "governor of China" since then.
When he first set out from Khorasan, Yusuf personally promised that whoever first set foot on Chinese soil and Muhammad would be the governor of China.
He suffered a great defeat this time, almost completely wiped out his army, and completely lost the opportunity to become the governor of China, which was too difficult for Gu Taibai, who was bent on conquering China.
However, this is the case, and it is not possible to accept it.
"If I had known this, I shouldn't have fought with the Tang Army, but with them." Gu Taibai regretted it greatly at this time, why did he fight with the Tang Army?
It's just that he forgot why he had to fight the Tang Army in the first place. That's because he didn't believe that the Tang army was so good, and thought that with the soldiers and horses in his hands, he could completely defeat the Tang army, and even capture Li Longji alive.
Only now do I realize how arrogant he was at that time. But what is the regret?
"Big dog, Hugh away." That's when it happened. I heard a roar like thunder.
You don't have to look to know it. This is the Tang army under the leadership of Zhang Xiaofei chasing after him.
The Tang army under the leadership of Zhang Xiaofei was like a dog's skin plaster. Once it's glued, you can't shake it off. Since Gu Taibai escaped from the battlefield, several days have passed, and he has been chased and killed by Zhang Xiaofei from behind, whenever he hears Zhang Xiaofei's roar, Gu Taibai is thinking about why Zhang Xiaofei will be killed without thunder.
"Let's go." Gu Taibai and his subordinates are now sleepy and weak to fight. Only to escape.
"Damn, I ran away again. Give me chase. Zhang Xiaofei's eyes were red and his face was tired, but he didn't want to give up, so he gritted his teeth and insisted.
has chased and killed more than 1,000 miles of road, even those who are beaten with iron can't stand it, although Zhang Xiaofei is brave and fierce, he is also exhausted.
In this way, Gu Taibai was chased and killed by Zhang Xiaofei all the way and fled all the way. All the way to the west.
Behind Zhang Xiaofei, there are 50,000 elites led by Yang Siqiao. Cover up from behind.
Two or three hundred miles behind Yang Siqiao, the main force of the Tang Army led by Li Longji was overwhelmingly chasing after him.
"Ahead is the Western Regions." Li Longji came to the border of the Western Regions, looked ahead, and said loudly: "Order: Be sure to make a big show and let the countries of the Western Regions know that it is our Tang Dynasty who called." If you want them to surrender, if you dare to say a word, you will be killed! ”
"Yes." Zhang said that he received the order and was busy arranging.
Li Longji patted his horse's back and entered the Western Regions.
"Rumble!" The Tang army followed, with the sound of hooves like thunder, overwhelmingly entering the Western Regions.
The news of the Tang Army's large-scale entry into the Western Regions, like wings, spread rapidly throughout the Western Regions, causing a great shock in the Western Regions.
Green Ridge, Little Rhythm.
"King, it's a big deal, it's a big deal." The king was making fun of his concubines, and while he was drinking, someone broke in and yelled.
"Bold! This king did not let you in, but you dared to break in and disturb this king's wine, and this king could not spare you. The little king of Polyu's face sank, and he was very displeased, so he ordered someone to drag this bold man out and give him a good beating.
"The king, it's a minister, it's a minister." It was the prime minister of Xiao Xiaolu who broke in, with a bitter melon on his face, and said busily: "King, it's been a long time, and you are still looking for fun." ”
"When will you not be able to have fun?" The little king did not like to hear this, and his face became even more ugly.
This king wants to have fun, and it has nothing to do with you? Having fun is based on mood, not time. As long as the king is in a good mood, he can have fun as long as he wants.
"King, the Tang army has entered the Western Regions in a big way, and the disaster of our destruction of the country is not far away." The prime minister reminded bitterly and said, "King, you have to make plans in advance." ”
"The Tang army has already entered the Western Regions, what's so curious? With your little knowledge, you are still the prime minister, and this king sees that this prime minister has to be replaced. "The little king has not yet heard the meaning of the prime minister's words.
Since its founding, the Tang Dynasty has been operating the Western Regions and has been constantly using troops against the Western Regions. Especially in the reign of Tang Gaozong, he fought in the Western Regions on a large scale, destroyed the Western Turks, and completely occupied the Western Regions. This was all decades ago, who doesn't know, who doesn't? Need you to remind me?
"Your Majesty, what the minister said is the matter at hand, it is Li Longji who led hundreds of thousands of Tang troops into the Western Regions in a big way." The prime minister had to explain one more sentence.
"What? Extremely? Extremely? The little king jumped up, pointed at the prime minister and shouted, "You are such a big dog! How dare you talk nonsense! You don't want to think about it, the Western Regions are vast and sparsely populated, and the products are not abundant, and the Tang Dynasty had to garrison fewer troops in the Western Regions, which is something that everyone in the world knows. If the Tang Dynasty garrisoned hundreds of thousands of troops in the Western Regions, what would they eat? Can they drink the northwest wind to get by? ”
The Western Regions is a bitter cold land, very poor, and not rich in products, which is the reason why the Tang Dynasty cannot garrison troops in the Western Regions. This is something that everyone knows. It is really a bit difficult for King Xiao Lu to believe that hundreds of thousands of Tang troops have entered the Western Regions.
"King, in the past, it would have been impossible, but now it's different." King Xiao Lu raised his throat and screamed: "Li Longji conquered Tianzhu, led his army from Tianzhu, conquered Pakistan by the way, entered Afghanistan, and encountered a great eat. After a big battle, the great cannibals were defeated. Li Longji led his army into the Western Regions, how strange is it? There is a lot of grain and grass. ”
The road from Tianzhu to the Western Regions is much easier, and Tianzhu is rich in products and has enough labor, which means that the Western Regions will no longer be short of grain and grass from now on. As long as the grain and grass are solved, the Tang Dynasty can station as many troops as it wants in the Western Regions.
"......" Xiao Lu Wang's eyes were round, and his mouth was wide open. It's time to stuff two pieces of shit in. Straight aphasia.
This news is so shocking.
Before. The Tang Dynasty wanted to use troops against Xiao Xiaolu, but the reason why it was not carried out was because the Tang Dynasty had too few troops in the Western Regions. Now, hundreds of thousands of Tang troops have entered the Western Regions in a big way, and the situation has changed, and Xiao Xiaolu is in big trouble, and he can't help but be shocked.
"King, King." The prime minister hurriedly called.
"How's that okay?" The face of the little king changed greatly. Pale and bloodless, panicked, and said: "Last time, the alliance between Tubo and Dashi was carried out in our territory, and the Tang Dynasty will definitely investigate this matter, how can this be good?" ”
The alliance between Tibet and the Arab Empire was carried out in the territory of Xiao Lilu, and the reason why the Tang Dynasty had not yet settled accounts with him was because the Tang Dynasty could not spare its hands. Now. Li Longji led hundreds of thousands of troops into the Western Regions, if this account is not well calculated. It's not Li Longji.
"What can you wait, my lord? Hurry up, please come down. The prime minister reminded.
"That's right! Please drop. The little king suddenly woke up: "Quick, send someone...... No, the king himself goes. ”
If you send someone to go, it's either impossible, or it doesn't seem sincere enough, so it's better to run by yourself.
As soon as the little king cleaned up, he set off with his people.

Da Julu is a high mountain country located on the green mountains. It's bigger than the little one.
"What? Did the Tang Army enter the Western Regions in a big way? Li Longji came in person? When the king learned the news, he was shocked, his mouth opened wide, his eyes widened, and he was directly petrified.
"My lord, it's true! There will never be a fake! The ministers were busy affirming.
"The Tang army entered the Western Regions with great fanfare, and the momentum was shocking, and the smoke and dust splashed by the horses' hooves covered the sky and the sun, and even the sun could not penetrate it."
"Yes, the sound is terrifying, and the sound of hooves can be heard dozens of miles away."
The ministers were busy.
"Quick, send an envoy to ask for surrender." The Great Lady King finally reacted and yelled.
"Nope! This king went in person to show his sincerity. Immediately after that, King Da Polu changed his mind and it was better to go in person.

Shiguo is a large country in Central Asia. To say that it is a big country is to compare it with a small country in the region.
In the palace of King Shi, the king of Shiguo was having a banquet with his ministers, and the kings and ministers talked happily with each other, and their interest was high.
"The Tang Dynasty has always wanted us to submit, but we have never obeyed. Now, the big food has gone east, and the benefits for us are even greater. Whether we win the Tang Dynasty or the Great Food, as long as they want to win us over, they will get a higher price. Whoever pays the highest price, we will help. King Shiguo proudly raised his wine glass, drank it all, and was very interested, and lit up the wine glass.
"The king is wise." The ministers sang in unison.
Located in Central Asia, Shiguo can be the head of the rat at both ends, between the Tang Dynasty and the Arab Empire.
Historically, the reason why Gao Xianzhi slaughtered Shiguo was because of this reason. It's a pity that those nerds accused Gao Xianzhi in unison, saying that Gao Xianzhi was cruel and unkind, which was really nonsense.
"When the big food comes, it is only good for us, and there is no harm." The king of Shiguo let out a wicked laugh and said, "If Shiguo wants to oppress us, we will surrender to the Tang Dynasty." If the Tang Dynasty wants to oppress us, we will take refuge in Dashi. ”
"Haha." The ministers agreed with this and laughed in unison.
However, before the laughter fell, I saw a guard come in in a panic and report loudly: "King, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good." The big food was defeated, and Gu Taibai fled! The Tang army took advantage of the situation to advance westward, and hundreds of thousands of Tang troops entered the Western Regions, and the Western Regions were terrified. ”
"Impossible! No way! The king of Shiguo screamed, his face in disbelief.
"Your Majesty, it's true." The guards hurriedly affirmed: "Nowadays, the Western Regions are full of Tang troops, can this be fake?" ”
"How could the Great Food be defeated so quickly?" King Shiguo looked unbelieving.
For Shi Guo, Da Shi and the Tang Dynasty were evenly matched, which showed the importance of Shi Guo. The defeat of the Arab Empire and the entry of the Tang Army into the Western Regions in a big way were a catastrophe for Shi Guo, and he could not help but be afraid.
"Quick, send someone to see Li Longji, if you want to carry a generous gift, you must be careful." King Shiguo finally came to his senses and knew that it was time to show his loyalty to the Tang Dynasty. (To be continued......)
