It was only half an hour before and after, and Li Xiang had already settled down, of course, if he was defeated, Li Xiang would probably have to go out of the mountain in person.

The fabric was passed through Chang'an City at a great speed, and then advanced to the Western Regions in two ways.

The Tang Dynasty has more than 20,000 troops in the Western Regions, and now Li Xiang has ordered 50,000 people to march westward, most of which must be Gaochang's army.

Cheng Yanjin's two sons are responsible for guarding the Western Regions, and Li Xiang has already named Cheng Chuliang to lead the troops westward, Cheng Chumo's heart is naturally dissatisfied, no one wants to stay at home to take care of the family, and no one is willing to lead the army to gallop on the battlefield.

"Big brother, don't worry, you have to leave someone to take care of the house, Your Highness also takes into account your temperament, which is more suitable for taking care of the family at home, isn't it because the younger brother can run rampant in the Western Regions by relying on his brother's prestige? Don't be angry. ”

Seeing that Cheng Chumo kept a tiger face, Cheng Chuliang said all the good things, but Cheng Chumo was still uncomfortable in his heart, he had been training the army for so long, and it was easy to make such an excellent army, but now he couldn't lead the troops there, if this master was not his own brother, then this guy would be even more uncomfortable.

"Okay, okay, you kid is cheap here, do you think I don't know? In private, you're about to jump up happily, but I also have to tell you serious things, don't watch General Morun win, that's because of our territory, now we have to go farther away, all kinds of supplies there are not necessarily so timely, I will let my men send them to you as soon as possible, on the way you must remember to me, how many troops we are not afraid, but we must not go without food and drink. ”

Although Cheng Chumo can't go to the front line, he still has a thorough study of the Western Regions operation, the most important thing is the supply of the troops, as long as our supplies can reach 80% of the level, then no matter how the war is fought, it is basically our side to win.

"Big brother, don't worry, we have built a total of more than 40 military stations in various parts of the Western Regions, and a large number of materials have been stored in these military stations, and we have not been idle in these years of peace, even if the materials in the rear cannot be transported, the materials in these military stations can be temporarily transferred, and they will be enough for us to live for a while, not to mention that the enemy is not there, just grab it all the way."

Cheng Chuliang didn't care much about this, after Li Xiang returned from the Western Regions, all parts of the Western Regions entered a period of large-scale construction, and many uninhabited places were also built military stations, which stored a large number of various materials, in order to be able to mobilize materials nearby when the Tang army was fighting, and now it finally came in handy.

"Your head is all on the buttocks, the supplies in those ice packs are only for emergency use, your 50,000 army is 50,000 mouths to eat, and I will try to move the logistics base forward when the time comes."

Hearing the words of the eldest brother, Cheng Chuliang immediately understood, your old man is unwilling to stay in Gaochang, so you have to move the logistics base forward.

If there is any loss on the front line, your old man will immediately bring people up, which is equivalent to you going to the battlefield, and at the same time you have not disobeyed the orders of His Highness, but if this is the case, what should Gaochang do here?

"Are you afraid of what's going on here? Xiao Shougui Lord Xiao has been guarding here for so many years, although this is a civil official, but the leading troops are no worse than us, people just don't want to steal the limelight with us, as long as he guards Gaochang, there will be no tricks anywhere. ”

As soon as Cheng Chumo said this, Cheng Chuliang also gave a thumbs up to Xiao Shougui next to him, although he was born as a civil official, but in such a harsh environment as the Western Regions, can a civil official be a civil official? That's absolutely impossible, even if you go out to run errands, you have to ride a horse, so after being an official here for a long time, how many people can't lead troops?

What's more, Cheng Chumo has observed on the side, Xiao Shougui is familiar with military books, but he lacks the courage to call the shots, but as long as the two brothers are not there, Xiao Shougui has that courage here, he relies on others when there are others, and he can only rely on himself when there are no others.

"There is another thing, eldest brother, I think that the countries of the Western Regions cannot stand by and watch, although His Royal Highness did not say it, but they have all surrendered to the table, and all of them are subject countries of my Datang domain, and now that my Datang has encountered a war, how can they not send troops?"

Cheng Chuliang has a lot of ghost ideas, this is when His Royal Highness is fighting in the south, it is the servants of all walks of life who take turns, but our army has not gone up much, and now the strength of all countries in the Western Regions is okay, although it has been weakened again and again, but all countries can still make up a lot of troops.

Once our army goes to the front, it is also an unstable factor for them to stay in the rear, since this is the case, it is better to take their troops away, if you have other ideas, we will definitely not show mercy on the battlefield.

"I have wanted to tell you this idea of yours for a long time, although the countries of the Western Regions have submitted to my Tang Dynasty, but there are many ghost ideas, this infiltration of the Arab Empire is a good example, no matter what they say, at least take away 1/3 of their army, or then the party will be unstable, and if you encounter that kind of thorn, you will directly take away 2/3 of them."

Cheng Chu meditated and said, you can also try the countries of the Western Regions through this matter, if you are willing, then you will naturally send troops smoothly, but if you are unwilling, then don't blame us for taking you to practice swords before the war.

This can also make those who are disobedient jump out as soon as possible, as long as you dare to jump out, then there is no crisis, the enemy standing on the bright side will never be my Datang's opponent, only those enemies in the secret make my Datang feel a headache.

"I'm going to do it right away, and I'm going to finish it in a month, and I'll be on the front line in a month and a half."

The most important thing about the battle in the Western Regions is that the time is too long, no matter how enthusiastic you are, just this vast land, it is enough for you to walk for a long time, even if the Tang army moves fast enough, it has to be calculated in months.

"But don't worry, you can use two months, I have already sent someone to fly pigeons to pass the book to General Molun, and their army has begun to liquidate the countries of the Western Regions."

The westernmost countries in the Western Regions cannot be spared......
