"Jingluo will stay for the time being, there are still things to discuss with Jingluo in this palace." Princess Xian'an didn't talk too much nonsense, and asked directly, "In the coming year, the palace plans to attack Ge Lulu, I don't know if there is a chance of victory?" ”

The Uighurs were a country established by a nomadic people, and whether the khan could convince the people, first of all, it depended on whether he could win benefits for his people, and this interest was often based on captivity, and there were only a few countries around the Uighurs, the cold and barren Siberian plains to the north, the equally desolate east to the south, and the Tang Dynasty and Tibet to the south, one was his own mother country, and the other was strong, so the weaker Qarlu in the west became the best choice.

Moreover, Qarlu had previously defeated the Uighurs together with the Tibetans, and if he could defeat the enemies who had defeated Jieyugas, then the prestige of Princess Xian'an and the new khan would surely rise to the throne.

Because this operation was very critical and there was absolutely no room for failure, Princess Xian'an, who relied on the Uighurs' own strength, was not very relieved, so she pinned her hopes on Shen Long.

"Please also rest assured, Your Royal Highness, King Guo Jun and Yang Duhu have already begun to prepare for the attack on Qarluq, and now that my Beiting Protectorate and Anxi Protectorate have sharp armor, if we have the assistance of the Uighur army, this battle will be a great victory!" Shen Long replied without hesitation, when they attacked Tingzhou together, the Uighur army was the main force, and this time the commander must be the Tang Dynasty.

Princess Xian'an has no objection to the leadership of the Tang Dynasty, Guo Xin is the king of Wuwei County and the protector of Anxi, and Yang Zhenggu is the protector of Beiting, as long as he does not send Jie Yugas over, the Uighur generals who go to lead the troops this time will inevitably be under them, and Princess Xian'an will not let go of the tiger Yugas, the tiger, to lead the troops again.

"That's very good, the palace will send a capable general to lead the troops at that time." Princess Xian'an put her mind at ease, and after discussing with Shen Long, she sent a lot of gifts to Guo Xin, Yang Zhengu, and Shen Long, and asked Wei Yuanfang to return to the Western Regions with Shen Long with these gifts.

Returning to the Western Regions, Guo Xin and Yang Xigu were very happy when they heard about the changes in the political situation of the Uighurs, "Princess Xian'an, I have no worries about the north of the Tang Dynasty from now on!" With Princess Xian'an in control of the Uighur situation, the Tang Dynasty could safely transfer troops from the north to the west to concentrate on dealing with the Tibetans.

Not only will the attention of the Tibetans be drawn to the border between the east and the Tang Dynasty, but even the feudal towns in the north of the Tang Dynasty will be restricted, otherwise the Tang Dynasty and the Uighurs will be in danger of extinction.

In addition to sighing, Guo Xin, Yang Zhengu, Shen Long and Wei Yuanfang began to discuss the strategy of dealing with Ge Lulu together. One is called blazing, or prostrate; As soon as they step on strength, they are often called the three surnames Ge Lulu in the literature, they can be said to be typical wall grass, and if the power is strong, he will return to that side.

The earliest attached to the Turkic Khanate, after the rise of the Xue Yantuo Khanate, it belonged to the Xue Yantuo Khanate, after the Tang Dynasty general Gao Kan cut the nose of the car, Gelulu belonged to the Tang, and then the Tang Dynasty took the Mu Fall Department as the Yinshan Governor's Mansion, the Blazing Ministry as the Desert Governor's Mansion, and the Stepping Strength Department as the Xuanchi Governor's Mansion, and then divided the Blazing Desert Prefecture into the Jinfu Prefecture Governor's Mansion, the three surnames are between the Eastern and Western Turks, and often rebel with the rise and fall of the Eastern and Western Turks.

After the rise of the Uighurs, the Qarlu tribe in the Wudeqi Mountains was returned to the Uighurs, and the Qarluq in the Altai Mountains and the Beiting area were self-reliant and belonged to the Tang Dynasty; During the Battle of Talas, Ge Lulu betrayed the Tang Dynasty and got involved with the black-clothed Great Food.

After the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang army in the Western Regions withdrew to the Central Plains, and Gelulu became stronger, gradually replacing the Turks and occupying the Western Turkic homeland in the Chu River Valley, including the famous Broken Leaf City and Talas City.

Yang Zhengu also participated in this battle, and returned defeated, lost Tingzhou City, and only returned to Xizhou City with more than 2,000 remnants, until Shen Long came to Datang to help him recapture Xizhou; Therefore, it was not only the Uighurs who wanted revenge this time, but Yang Zhenggu was also very eager for it.

He pointed to the map and said, "We have now taken Tingzhou, Yizhou, and Yanqi, blocking the passage for Tubo to support Gelulu, if Tubo wants to help Gelulu, they can only cross the Green Ridge, the road is dangerous, the supply is difficult, even if the Tubo people want to come, there will not be many people!" ”

"As long as we can take Shule and block the northward route of Tubo, then Qarlu can only fight alone!" Guo Xin pointed to the location of Shule City and said, "Therefore, when the war starts next year, the Pontus Protector will lead the army westward and take Shule City!" ”

Shule and Khotan, Qiuci, and Yanqi are one of the four towns of Anxi, and they have always been the sphere of influence of the Anxi Protectorate, and Guo Xin has wanted to recover Shule for a long time.

"If we can take Shule, we will be able to join forces with Bahanna, and we can support Bahan's weapons and grass, so that they can go up from the southwest and north to fight with us against Qarluq." Shen Long added that Bahan was Dawan during the Han Dynasty, and they were die-hard fans of the Tang Dynasty, and every time Anxi went out to protect the mansion, they would fight with the Tang Dynasty.

Whether it was the Battle of Bolu in the Western Regions or the Battle of Talas, Bahana stood firmly on the side of the Tang Dynasty, and even after the Anshi Rebellion broke out, they also organized the army and the army of the Anxi Protectorate to return to the Tang Dynasty together to attack the rebels of An Lushan, and even their prince and Ye Hu died on the land of the Central Plains.

For such an iron, of course, Shen Long will not forget, he has long sent Kang Guangde to establish contact with the king of Bakhanna, and sent them armor and weapons, and the king of Bakhana also reciprocated by sending a few sweaty horses to Shen Long, although Shen Long has ridden a lot of horses, but the real sweaty horses have never ridden.

Seeing such a gift, Shen Long was overjoyed, and he had to ride out every day to have a good time, and this sweaty BMW did not disappoint Shen Long, running like the wind, compared with the war horse that Shen Long rode before, it was like the difference between Ferrari and ordinary cars, it was incomparable.

After the discussion of several parties, they went back to prepare, Shen Long stayed in Tingzhou to continue training the Han Navy, Guo Xin returned to Qiuci and continued to send people to investigate the situation of Gelulu, especially the news about Shule City, Yang Zhenggu was vigilant about the movement of Tubo in the East, and Princess Xian'an began to consider the candidate for the commander of the army to attack Gelulu.

Winter turned to spring, and it was a new year, and when the weather warmed up and the pastures were fertile, the Uighur army finally arrived in Tingzhou, and the plan to attack Qarlu could begin.
