"Your Majesty, please allow me to re-introduce me, I am the Holy Maiden of Loulan, what conditions do you want, I have the right to speak, and I can agree on behalf of the king." The Loulan envoy pleaded.

Faced with the imminent destruction of the country, she was anxious, her heart was like a knife, and she had no time to continue to wrestle with Li Xingchen.

"Your Majesty, please send troops to support."

Li Xingchen lightly clasped the desk with one hand, and said indifferently: "The war of the country, I don't say I will help, even if I am virtuous and have the heart to save Loulan, I can't say that I will send troops." ”

Fighting a war is not just empty words, you can act after giving an order, you need the joint participation of all departments, and you need the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to plan together.

The most important thing is that he can't help a few businessmen who are oppressed by Gaochang in Loulan, even if the saint is beautiful, he never does anything that is not beneficial.

The envoy of Loulan understood that it was not easy to send troops, but Li Xingchen was the emperor of Great Wei, majestic and invincible, as long as he was willing to support Loulan, then the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty would not object.

Li Xingchen looked at her anxious appearance, and saw that the foreshadowing was almost done, so he acted as a dilemma: "In this way, let's talk about the sincerity of your country first, I am communicating with the civil and military forces, and see if I can convince them." ”

If the sincerity is not enough, it will be circulated, and if the interests are enough, the troops will be dispatched!

Hearing this, the Loulan envoy breathed a sigh of relief, being able to ask this proves that there is a chance, as long as the conditions are sufficient, Dawei will definitely help.

"I hope Your Majesty will make it clear, what do you want?"

"Since you gave me the choice, then I said it.

First, this time it is you Loulan who has a request from Dawei.

Second, I hope that after solving the matter for you in Loulan, Dawei can garrison troops in Loulan.

Third, all the expenses of the soldiers sent during the period were covered by Loulan. ”

Li Xingchen finished speaking the conditions in one breath.

In the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, there is constant infighting and friction when there is nothing to do.

But once it encounters an invasion by a foreign enemy, it will put aside its grievances and unite with the outside world.

The energy combined by the thirty-six projectiles is not insignificant, the most important thing is that Li Xingchen has never had a reasonable reason to disintegrate the interior, isn't it coming now?

The Loulan envoy pondered for a moment and nodded, "Yes, I promise His Majesty Great Wei in the name of the Holy Maiden." ”

"Good." Li Xingchen nodded with satisfaction, "You go back first, go to the post house to rest, and after I discuss with the minister, I will send someone to find you." ”

After the envoy left, Li Xingchen immediately summoned the prime minister and others to discuss and told them about it.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks he can send troops." Zai Xiang said in a deep voice.

"The Turks sent a letter of rejection, saying that the Great Wei was going to send 50,000 soldiers to assist in the mining as an excuse, but they did not agree.

If Loulan is helped this time, the Great Wei will be able to occupy Gaochang, which will form a powerful pressure on the Turks, and it will not cost a single soldier to make the Turks agree to send troops over, which is not a small benefit. ”

Six ministries and ministries of the three provinces seconded the proposal, all of which believed that this was a rare opportunity.

In addition, Dawei already has plans to expand its territory, and the opportunity cannot be missed.

After that, everyone continued to discuss the leadership of the team and the arrangement of food and grass.

Although Loulan is responsible for all expenses, it is necessary to pay in advance in the early stage, and the accounts will be settled after the matter is resolved.

The next day, Li Xingchen sent someone to the post house to call the Loulan envoy and told her that she could send troops.

The Holy Maiden of Loulan fell on the boulder in her heart and almost cried with joy.

Da Wei is willing to send troops, Loulan is saved!

The imperial court did things, the means were vigorous and resolute, the action was rapid, the army gathered enough food and grass, artillery carts, bows, crossbows, arrows and other combat uses.

In this expedition, Shangshu of the military department was the general manager of the march, and Yuan Wanshan was the general.

The last time I fought in Turpan, I was addicted to the military department, although he was old, but he was not afraid at all, advanced weapons such as artillery trucks, he was his backer, backstage, and he was afraid of a bird with these?

At that time, he will be able to climb to the high position of servant shooting sooner or later.

Three days later.

The marching ceremony, praying to the world, ordered Gao Chang.

Under the witness of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the capital, 50,000 troops set out to fight Gaochang!

Riding a horse, riding a three-wheeled horse, riding a three-wheeled horse, the wind and fire, so lively.

"It's really convenient to have a tricycle, and the major grain and grass are diverted to different small tricycles, unlike before, which are all pulled by the baggage army, which is easy to be robbed or burned by the enemy."

"Yes, with the tricycle, the burden on the baggage army has been greatly reduced, and there is no need to worry about being burned by the enemy."

"Although the speed is not as fast as that of horses, but after the improvement of the students of the technical college, the three-wheeled has been developed into a semi-electric power drive, with sunlight energy as the driving force, reducing the great burden on the load-bearing soldiers!"

"Dawei is getting stronger and stronger, and a trip to other countries has a very backward hillbilly feeling."

"Whoever dares to disobey our Great Wei will be punished."

The people of the capital talked a lot.

Some of them shouted "Great Wei will win" all the way, and sent them out of the city gate for ten miles before returning to the city.

They are all original residents who have witnessed development, and they are all very moved by the earth-shaking changes that have taken place in Dawei in just a few years.

…

Half a month later.

The secretary of the military department ordered the soldiers and horses to stop.

Looking at the city in front of him, Yuan Wanshan twisted his eyebrows and said, "This is Gao Changguo?" ”

The military department Shangshu looked at Tucheng and nodded, "Not bad." ”

Among the kingdoms, only the city of Great Wei was like a fortress, impregnable.

Other countries are too backward to either have no cities or can be easily destroyed.

Like Turpan, they are all earthen castles, and Gaochangguo is similar, there is no need to be afraid, and there is no pressure at all.

The military department Shangshu felt that he was here to play on the battlefield, to pick up battle exploits, not to fight hard, and only needed to consume a small number of troops to take the city.

The Holy Maiden of Loulan said in a deep voice: "It is said that the Great Wei artillery truck is powerful and brave, it is better to bomb it directly with the artillery carriage, and it is better to fight quickly." ”

Before going to Dawei for help, the saint had already made a thorough strategy and had a deep understanding of Dawei's weapons and national conditions, so she knew that there was a black blade of the artillery cart.

In addition, the defeat of Turpan some time ago was bombarded by Li Xingchen with a cannon truck, which can not be said to be not powerful.

Direct bombardment can save the consumption of troops, and it is easy to hit the enemy with a few shots.

"Prepare the gun carriage." The military department Shangshu ordered in a deep voice.

It's still early in the morning, although the road is far away, and the soldiers are tired, but it's not a real knife or a real gun to do it, it's better to use a gun cart to knock down the city first, go inside to rest and rest, soak your feet, press a rub, and have a good time.

Soon, the artillery carriage corps was ready.

Gaochang in the distance.

The defending general gathered his soldiers and prepared to resist the attack of the Great Wei.

However, the distance between the two sides is a bit far, and it is not within the range of the bow and crossbow, so under the premise that there is no telescope, General Gao Chang does not know much about the situation here, and can only see the black pressed human head.

"What are they doing?" The general asked in a deep voice.
