For nearly two months, the entire Western Regions was shrouded in darkness, and it was still necessary to restrain the spies in Chang'an City, but if it was said that it was in the Western Regions, there was no need to restrain anything at all, as long as this person had a trace of suspicion, he would be arrested immediately.

According to Li Xiang's statement, the hearts of those who are not of our race must be different, and some of these people may have the same heart as us, but a larger part of them can't be trusted, as long as you have a good reason to arrest and try them first.

Facts have proved that there is nothing wrong with Li Xiang's thinking, although there are some unjust, false and wrongful cases, but they have been rehabilitated in a timely manner, and more importantly, these people really have problems, and they will be exposed in the process of interrogation.

The entire Western Regions covers a vast area, if these people want to run, we really can't find them, just find a corner and hide it, where do you go to find it?

Not to mention us outsiders, even if it is the local people in the Western Regions, they can't get people out of the desert, there are some oases with water sources in the desert, as long as they go here, you don't know the location of this oasis, I'm afraid you will have to go through the entire desert.

The bigwigs of the Western Regions Protectorate are almost full, and Chang'an City has pulled out so many traitors, not to mention these places in the Western Regions, so the number of people arrested is unimaginable.

"I wondered, what is the magic of this Arab Empire? Why do they have such a strong ability to bewitch? Many people have already gone to Chang'an to worship, and now they have become their pawns. ”

Li Chengyi had just come out of the interrogation room, covered in blood, it was hard to imagine why these guys were so strong, were we too bad for them? Calculate the policy of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions, and it can still be passed.

"Actually, this is normal, if we can infiltrate the vassal states of the Arab Empire, and we operate a little, then we can also have a lot of people, they actually have one idea, that is, they want to rely on external forces to gain their independence, but they don't know that after independence from this side, they will also suffer from the other side."

Cheng Chuliang can see this matter very clearly, when your country's strength is not strong, you can only be dependent on a big country, as for which country you are attached to, it depends on your eyesight, swaying from side to side until the end will not have good fruit to eat.

"Your Highness's order has come."

General Mo Lun came back from Gaochang, he returned to Gaochang this time to lead the Gaochang soldiers, following the Tang Dynasty to fight in the east and west, these days can be regarded as out of the limelight, so when carrying out the western expedition, the first thing to consider is that the Gaochang army uses them with the Tang Dynasty's artillery team, which cannot be said to be a hundred victories, but it will definitely not be easy to fail.

"Capture Samarkhan?"

Cheng Chuliang didn't look at this order, he thought about it a little in his heart, and immediately knew what the result was, this is not a full-scale war, this should be regarded as a local war, but even so, it can make the Arab Empire understand up and down, our Tang Empire is not a joke, if you dare to put your hand in, I will dare to cut off your hand.

"The marshal guessed well, we should have set off a long time ago, but there are too many internal things, and now His Highness is urging us to march into Samarkand."

General Mo Lun said very excitedly, the countries of the Western Regions have no strength to resist, some time ago many people stood up to rebel, but we were all killed, now tens of thousands of troops are in our hands, of course, we have to find a strong opponent.

His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun has told us several times that the people of the Arab Empire are very powerful, and we also killed 5,000 of them some time ago, and we didn't see how powerful they are, although they are slightly stronger than other cavalry, but if you want to defeat us, it is simply impossible.

Now that they have finally received the order to go west, and everyone wants to prove their strength on the battlefield, isn't the Anton Governor's Mansion of the Arab Empire a good piece of material?

"Your Highness gave us half a month, during this half a month, you don't have to carry out military training, there is no need to continue these military training, I know the strength, the most important thing is the supplies along the way, especially the artillery team, we can get replenishment in situ for other things, but cannonballs and other items will not work."

Cheng Chuliang said with some worry, without the Datang artillery team, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the Gaochang soldiers is, there is no guarantee of a complete victory, as long as the Datang artillery team follows, coupled with the heroic and good fighting of the Gaochang soldiers, even if they continue to go west, they are not afraid.

"Don't worry, Sir, I've already placed twelve places to store supplies on the road to Congling, all of which are very arid, and it hasn't rained for a long time, so it won't cause any damage to our gunpowder, and if the supplies in the rear can't be delivered, we can also take them temporarily."

The biggest hole card in Li Chengyi's hand is these gunpowders, so on the way to the Arab Empire, we must first prepare this, once there is no such thing as me, this is equivalent to dismantling the backbone of the whole army.

"This time, because there are more conscripted convoys, you need to carry more gunpowder, the northwest region is already dry, plus those special waterproof materials sent by His Highness, we don't need to worry about gunpowder getting wet."

Although the gunpowder of the troops has been loaded a lot now, Cheng Chuliang is still a little uneasy in his heart, after all, we are far away, if there is no gunpowder, then we are almost half defeated.

The enemy's advantage is the light cavalry that comes and goes without a trace, and our advantage is that we can turn their bombers on their backs, gunpowder, so we must strengthen our advantage, in the past, it was because there were not so many convoys, and now the tribes have recruited so many people, why don't they transport gunpowder?

"What the marshal said, for the transport team we recruited this time, all of them are related to the family, and the single ones are not allowed to get close to gunpowder, and the trust is still no problem."

General Morun also nodded, and the hope of victory for the Gaochang soldiers was in these gunpowders.
