Zhang Zheng gently patted Cui Shu's back to soothe her emotions. In the final analysis, Cui Shu is just a poor person in the cruel background of the big era.

As she said, she is just a little woman who just wants to live a good life. Marry a man, have a child, and live an ordinary and happy life.

For a man, talent is a big plus. If you put it lightly on a woman, is it really a compliment to be talented?

Sometimes, it's just a helpless choice. They are all a flat boat in the stormy waves of this era, struggling to survive, and doing things against their will.

"Sleep, just sleep." Zhang Zheng muttered softly. The biological mother was lit with a sky lantern, and the elder brother cooperated with His Majesty to provoke the world to smoke.

300,000 innocent people were reduced to dry bones and millions were displaced. Then he rebelled against the family she raised her.

The culprits of all this are still living freely every day, but the pressure is on a woman.

Zhang Zheng also began to gradually understand the reason why Cui Shu had to come to the battlefield in person. Atonement, accumulate virtue.

Originally, she shouldn't have done these things. In Zhang Zheng's low murmur, Cui Shu slowly closed her eyes.

The beauty is in her arms, but Zhang Zheng's mood is really not happy. A pregnant woman is easily excited, and this woman is still full of worries.

Cui Shu unconsciously fell asleep in Zhang Zheng's arms, and the fire was smaller. Zhang Zheng couldn't help but shudder, and then leaned over and gently picked up Cui Shu into the tent.

The team of more than 3,000 people, except for the scouts who were on guard, still kicked out, and the tents began to gradually fall silent.

………… At the same time, the south was less than two thousand miles away from Zhang Zheng and others. A cavalry of 10,000 men ran madly in the moonlight and snow.

Because the distance behind this cavalry was less than three hundred miles, a cavalry team with about thirty percent fewer numbers than the first one was pursuing them.

The team that fled in front of it was needless to say that it was Fu Yun's team that was defeated by Li Jing. The person who led the army to pursue behind was not Li Jing, the chief of the Xihai Road march, but Hou Junji, the head of the Jishi Road march, as well as Li Daozong, the head of the Shanshan Road march.

Fu Yun knew that the Tang army's logistical supply was difficult, so he used the means to deal with Duan Zhixuan, fortified the wall and cleared the wilderness, and fought and retreated.

It's just that this time the people who came were Hou Junji and Li Daozong, Hou Junji is notoriously narrow-minded and will be repaid, and Li Daozong's temper is not much better than Hou Junji.

When Duan Zhixuan is unable to pursue, he will choose to return to his master to recover his vitality. These two people are different, no matter what I become, I will definitely pull you out and kill you when I chase me to the ends of the earth.

Therefore, the battle loss rate in the army commanded by the two has always been high, but the share of military merit in the two armies is also very high.

The two teams chased and fled, braving the wind and snow on the grassland, and no one could help anyone.

The battlefield was cut into several pieces by Li Jing, and Hou Junji and Li Daozong were just one part of this battle to destroy the country.

Li Jing led Li Daliang, the governor of Liangzhou and the head of the march of the last road, Li Daoyan, the governor of Minzhou and the head of the Chishui Road march, Gao Yongsheng, the head of the march of Yanze Road in Lizhou, and the Turkic generals Qi He Li and Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche brothers to the north, out of Tugu Hun to the right.

Completely cut off the retreat route from Tuyuhun to Qilian Mountain, and detoured back to Tuyuhun's capital - Fuqi City.

In addition, Hou Junji in the south, Li Daozong's department, has gradually formed an iron pincer attack on Tuyuhun.

The funny thing is that Fu Yun is still dreaming that if you can't beat me, I'll run, and when you retire, I'll come back and continue to crisscross the grassland.

………… At the junction of Gaochang and the country and the Tang Dynasty, there is an endless cry of various languages in a small city.

The town is not large, with only two streets intersecting, forming a commercial area similar to the cross street. In addition to the commercial area, the rest is the buildings similar to the Datangfang City where the local residents of Xizhou live.

This city is the pearl of the desert, Xizhou. Thanks to the rise of the Silk Road, Xizhou, as the first stop on the Silk Road into the Western Regions, although the scale of the city is not large, but its prosperity is not inferior to other cities.

In the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, Gaochang is nothing more than a small country. But in the land of the Western Regions, Gaochang is one of the undisputed powers.

Because in the vast land of the Western Regions, there are hundreds of countries, large and small. Any person, who gathers tens of thousands of troops in his hands, can choose a no-man's land at will to establish his own country and claim hegemony.

Every day nations are dying and new ones are born. It is not surprising that a person from the Western Regions has changed to people from dozens of countries in his lifetime.

In such an environment, the short man pulled out the general, so he controlled the land for thousands of miles, and Gaochang, who had tens of thousands of soldiers, became a powerful country in the Western Regions.

Don't look at the small city of Xizhou, but the annual taxes paid to the Gaochang treasury account for 10% of the entire national finance.

Xizhou City is not so much a state capital as a larger town. Because the total population of the five counties under the jurisdiction of Xizhou City is less than 50,000.

A magnificent building at the intersection of the two streets is the seat of the city lord's mansion in Xizhou City. The name of the city lord is Su Wu Li, which is the one who is Tong Su Wu Li.

And at this moment, on the high hall of the city lord's mansion, he learned the news that Xu Jingzong led five thousand Tang army elites to rush into the desert and was heading to Xizhou.

His face was full of surprise and anger. There are not many people under the rule of Xizhou, and the army is even less, and only 8,000 troops are stationed to guard Xizhou City on weekdays to maintain order in Xizhou.

And now, Datang is here, what role can these 8,000 people play? Everyone knows that although the total strength of the Xizhou side far exceeds the main force of the Tang army, the final result must be the defeat of the own side and the victory of the Tang army.

Su Wude's face was cloudy, and no one could tell what he really thought.

"City Lord, ask the Lord of the Kingdom for help, we have no chance of winning against the Tang Army." A burly man with a full face and a burly body in leather armor arched his hand towards Suo Wubuli, and said with an anxious face.

Su Wuxuan looked at the news waiting in front of him, and he couldn't put down the brush in his hand. He also wanted to ask Ju Wentai for help, but, was it too late?

The Tang army didn't know when it would come out of the desert, and the documents asking for help came and went, plus the time for the army to start and delay, could he defend until the reinforcements arrived in Xizhou.
