The clouds in the sky, coming silently, going calmly, Luo Su waved his sleeves, stepped into the carriage lightly, the curtain embroidered with phoenix patterns fell, and the coachman drove the car away with the wind.

It wasn't until the carriage turned the corner and disappeared in front of them that Luo Junwei and Wu Cao straightened up.

The two looked at each other, Wu Cao's face was a little pale, but his lips were a little swollen and bleeding, Luo Junwei stepped forward and took out a handkerchief to wipe it gently for her, the fragrance was fragrant, Wu Cao said in a low voice: "This time I really want to enter the palace." ”

Luo Junwei didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only wrap her around.

No one knows the future.

……

The desert is barren and lifeless, as far as the eye can see, there is only a piece of yellow sand, gravel paved on the hard stone, at the end of the sky, the red sun hangs on the ground and the vast desert, far away and lonely in the meantime.

"Sixth brother."

Luo Xuanling pointed to the murals and said, "Tear them all down later and transport them back to Chang'an." ”

"Kill!"

After a short greeting, Luo Xuanling said solemnly: "Your Majesty has an order to move the garrison of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate to the Gaochang King's Capital, depose the army of the Gaochang Army, and increase the military strength of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.

The boulders fell on the city walls and swept away almost all the towers.

Li Xiaogong and Luo Xuanyun were surprised and delighted when they heard this, this is the first time that the imperial court has made it clear that it wants to station so many troops in the Western Regions, and the money and food required to station 12,000 troops here are extremely large, and now the peak Datang can ignore this kind of attrition.

The ground is paved with colorful stone bricks, etc., spliced into various auspicious patterns, walking in the meantime, the foot seems to step on a flowing gem painting, more spectacular than the palace of the Tang Emperor.

In the harem, there are four concubines and nine concubines, these are quite high-level concubines, and then down are Jieyu, beauties, and talents.

The giant chandelier hanging above, hollow and carved, is even inlaid with gemstones, and the light is sprinkled in the temple through the intricate patterns.

There are hundreds of clergy in the temple, and it is necessary to prevent conflicts between the temple personnel and the Tang Dynasty soldiers.

Luo Xuanling's last sentence sighed, which made Luo Xuanyun feel the same way, "In the past few years in the Western Regions, I have really seen a lot, and time will change anything completely different from the original."

As soon as he approached, the deputy general beside Luo Xuanling couldn't help but scold: "This dog-day Gao Changguo, how much money has he earned through the Western Regions trade over the years?" ”

Gaochang City.

The capture of Gaochangguo is only the first step, Luo Xuanling still has the reconstruction of Gaochangguo at hand, and he still has to wait for two people.

"The ministers will do their best!"

No wonder so, the first thing that catches your eye is the majestic palace gate.

The nobles in the country hurriedly helped the prince inherit the throne, and just inherited the throne and had to face the attack of the Tang Dynasty.

Now listen to my military orders, you can't take the things in the palace, that's your majesty's things, I don't care about anything else, it's all yours.

The Gaochang Temple is one of the eight temples in the Western Regions.

Xu Cairen was born in the Jianghuai clan Xu family, she and Wu Cao entered the palace in the same batch, Wu Cao is an ordinary palace person, but she was named a talented person with good taste.

When the Tang army walked out of the continuous no-man's land and walked out of the desert and the Gobi, the lord of Gaochang finally learned.

Luo Xuanling also said with emotion: "Normal, the second brother has his own ideas, he wants to ensure the interests of the Suwang Temple and the Western Regions, let's talk about these things in the future, there will always be a solution." ”

Even after Luo Xuanling walked into the hall, he couldn't help but take a breath, Gao Changguo cut off things, these years have really made money, the hall is lined with tall columns, the column body is decorated with gold and silver ornaments, coiling dragons around the columns, auspicious clouds.

As Luo Xuanling rode his horse back and forth, a burst of shouts rang out, and he held a shining sword in his hand, and roared, "Attack!" ”

"Into town!"

The city gate of Gaochang City fell suddenly, and a section of the city wall also collapsed, and the Tang army in armor rushed into the city from the gap and the city gate like a black river.

Remember, don't kill women and children and rape women, King Su doesn't like that kind of barbarism.

He trembled on the ground, crying a handful of snot and tears, Luo Xuanling said sharply: "You said that it was your father who provoked my Tang Emperor, what is the reason for resisting the Heavenly Army?"

Who caused the casualties of my Tang soldiers during the siege?

Clever words, damn it!

If you have any words, go to Chang'an and say it.

He sat directly on the throne, and he couldn't understand why the Tang Dynasty really cost such a big price.

The palace gate suddenly opened, and no one in the palace dared to resist, almost everyone was prostrate on the ground.

Whoever obeys the military order, King Su is with you.

When Luo Xuanling talked about the soldiers who died on the march, his heart was dripping blood, and they were all the elites of the Tang Dynasty and the various departments.

……

The land of the Western Regions has a lot to offer. ”

Qi Bi He Li comforted: "The march always has to die, at the end of the Han Dynasty to conquer the Western Regions, 100,000 troops set off, and only 20,000 finally arrived, we set off with more than 20,000 people, and only 1,000 people died in the end, which is already quite extraordinary, and please mourn the general manager." ”

These grades are not only famous, but also in charge of a business, after all, there are many people in the harem, and it is also very complicated, and the queen is in charge of the harem, but it is not just a casual talk, there are many reasons every day, and sometimes, these people can be called female officials.

Wu Cao has been in the palace for some time, and under the operation of the Luo family, her current identity is an ordinary palace person, doing some things to serve nobles, and she was arranged under Xu Cairen.

Wu Cao often raised her eyes to look out in her spare time, but she couldn't see anything, this was the imperial palace, the vermilion palace wall, would block everything tightly, only birds could go out from here.

Her ears echoed with the words of the national teacher, "The palace is hell, a prison, and a good forge, you can temper all the childishness in your body, if you can bear it, you will live, and if you can't bear it, you will die, this is the fate of life." ”

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty lined up in array, as majestic as a high mountain, with a forest of swords and guns, and it was bound to poke a hole in the sky, and the armor was neatly dressed, and the most elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were here.

"Boom!"

Luo Xuanling rode a horse, feeling the scorching wind of Gaochang, Luo Xuanling heard that there is a mountain in Gaochang Country, known as the Flame Mountain, and the temperature is extremely high.

"Boom!"

……

Moreover, the meaning of the imperial court is to let the Dadu Protectorate exert its subjective initiative and maintain the passage of government decrees in the Western Regions.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it.

Luo Xuanling took a deep breath, he understood the reason why Ci was not in charge of the army, "Our army is coming by surprise, and the lord of Gaochang will be shocked, and this time he will cut off his head and pay tribute to my Tang soldiers." ”

"Sons, in front of you is Gaochang City, Your Majesty's order to us is to take off the head of King Gaochang, I know that after months of travel, you are all holding a fire in your hearts, and the death of the robe makes your hearts full of anger.

"The Central Plains and the Western Regions have intersected for five hundred years, almost every road is clearly remembered, these years because of the diversion of the river and the turning of the dragon, some oases have disappeared, the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate has retraced the map of Kanyu, and then 1,500 miles forward, we can go to the territory of Gaochang, more than 5,000 miles of trekking, there are thousands of Tang Erlang and cavalry who died on the road, and now we are finally going to see the results."

If it was someone else, it might be suspected of painting cakes, but Luo Xuanling said so, then the decision was fine.

Whoever disobeys the military order, my sword will cut off your head!" ”

……

The governors of all roads went to occupy the key buildings in the city, as one of the great powers in the Western Regions, there was naturally a temple of Suwang in the royal capital, and the level was very high.

Luo Xuanling led the soldiers to the palace non-stop.

Li Xiaogong went to arrange the affairs of the capital protection mansion, and Luo Xuanyun was left behind by Luo Xuanling, "Seventh brother, you have to cooperate well with the king of Hejian County, and there is no room for loss in this Western Regions." ”

It was a real treat.

Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, the elite soldiers in charge, 12,000 people, the countries of the Western Regions, there are those who are not satisfied, Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate should send troops to seek peace, and the official position is modest. ”

Datang really crossed a distance of seven thousand miles to kill him, how arrogant he was when he offended Datang, and how cowardly he was now, he was scared to death all of a sudden.

It should be said that there are only a very few countries in the entire Western Regions, and there will be one or two fortified cities, and the countries in the Western Regions do not attach much importance to cities, especially the Western Regions rarely have the kind of mountains and rivers that are difficult to open.

You must know that this trebuchet was improved by the Tang Dynasty, in order to attack the mountain city of Liaodong in the future, and now it is used to attack Gaochang Kingdom, which can be said to be overkill.

Under the sun's rays, the golden light shimmers and shines.

Before Luo Xuanyun arrived, the voice came first.

Tied him up and escorted him back to Chang'an, as well as these nobles of Gaochang Kingdom, all of them were locked up, the guilty were killed, and the innocent were released. ”

"Sixth brother, are you going to return to Chang'an after that?"

Above the gatehouse, inlaid with intricate and exquisite gold reliefs, the cultural tradition of the Western Regions here, in the temple of King Su, there are magnificent murals, which are the great achievements of King Su, the lords of all countries have learned this culture, coupled with the proximity to Persia and other countries, they have come into contact with the art of sculpture, so they like to depict the murals of the kings in the palace.

King Gaochang had already knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing: "General, it was the first king who provoked the Tang Dynasty Emperor, and it has nothing to do with me, the first king has died because of the fear of the Tang Dynasty, and I beg the general to spare my life, Gaochang must surrender to the Tang Dynasty and never betray." ”

The other Tang soldiers couldn't help but heat up their eyes, and Luo Xuanling reminded again: "Don't move anything here, be measured." ”

The two lion statues carved from huge stones stand on both sides, majestic and lifelike, as if guarding the forbidden place of the palace at all times.

Luo Xuanling patted him on the shoulder and said: "You stay in the Western Regions for a few more years, Your Majesty told me before, when you are ready to attack Liaodong, you will be transferred back to the Central Plains to make meritorious contributions, and when the king of Hejian County retreats, the position of the capital of Anxi will be yours sooner or later."

Luo Xuanling walked into the palace hall like this, and the nobles of Gaochang Kingdom and King Gaochang were here, waiting for the judgment to come.

In the places in the city that are related to the king, do not use swords and soldiers, and sing the sacred song of the king, and spare their lives.

Luo Xuanling recognized at a glance that this was the architectural style on the west side.

Luo Xuanling slowly rubbed the sword in his hand, his eyes were full of edge, and the end of the vast Gobi seemed to be in his eyes, "Fifteen hundred miles, only fifteen hundred miles remain." ”

The Tang army's offensive did not stop for a moment, after several years of improved catapults, can be smashed from 700 steps away to the city wall, the most important thing is that the momentum is heavy, not to mention that the smashing of the city wall is so outrageous, but it is enough to make the city wall, there is no one standing at all.

The Tang army traveled thousands of miles all the way to here, it was getting late, and they set up camp, and in the camp, Luo Xuanling, the general manager of the Gaochang Road march, was staring at the Kanyu map, and his eyes did not blink.

The Tang army soldiers soon pushed the siege equipment and began to attack the city in an orderly manner, although Gaochang City is the capital of Gaochang Wang, but it cannot be said to be a strong city.

Now he felt the hot wind blowing over, as if he was next to a flame, and if it was really worthy of his name, he estimated that it was easier to have problems in armor-piercing battles here than in other places.

After the Tang army entered the city, they still acted in groups of five and began to clean up the last remnants of the resistance.

If this kind of thing happens in Gaochangguo again, the imperial court will not transfer troops from Chang'an again, but let the Dadu Protectorate solve it by itself, and for this reason, it will also give the Dadu Protectorate the right to fight, as long as it is reported afterwards.

The edge of the endless sand sea flows, like a golden python winding westward, the red sun is slowly settling in the sky, the outline and the sand river reflect each other, sprinkling the golden afterglow all over the already golden sand sea, as dazzling as molten gold.

Now rushing to the battlefield are the elite of the Tang Dynasty, 8,000 soldiers with armor, 20,000 Turkic and Tiele cavalry, and 30,000 servants recruited in the face of the Tang Dynasty's divine soldiers.

"Boom!"

Luo Xuanyun was stunned when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Sixth brother, don't worry, my younger brother understands that the Western Regions will not be out of the control of the imperial court." ”

The people Luo Xuanling was waiting for were Li Xiaogong and Luo Xuanyun, the officials of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.

The drums were noisy and shaking, and after a difficult trek, the soldiers who arrived at the city of Gaochang were holding their breath in their hearts.

Datang wants to control the Western Regions, it is not simple, and the second brother may not only not help, but also become an obstacle. ”

Luo Xuanling nodded and said: "After dealing with the affairs of Gaochangguo, I will return to Chang'an to return the tiger talisman to restore my life, Your Majesty retains the throne of Gaochangguo, but Yizhou is also set up here, I have to report the situation here to Your Majesty." ”

Luo Xuanyun was a little reluctant, "I don't know when the next time we will meet, the Western Regions are too far away from Chang'an, and Gaochang is already the closest place to Chang'an, and there are still seven thousand miles." ”

Luo Xuanling felt from Luo Xuanyun's words that some problems had been ignored before, even Luo's felt far away, what about the soldiers?

Thinking of this, he immediately realized that this problem was very serious, and he had to inform His Majesty of this matter!
