The sun was still very strong, and the fine dust of the loess city was rising, but the trees inside and outside the city had already lost a lot of leaves, and the branches were also yellow. So the people of Qiuzi City knew that autumn was already on the way.

On the day of the beginning of autumn, Li Ye met Chu Zheng in the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate, who was the vanguard military envoy of Shangguan Allure, and came to Qiuzi to contact the Metropolitan Protectorate one step earlier, and saw Li Ye's.

"The Wolf Tooth Army has arrived at the northern foot of Jinshan, and with the strength of the army, it will be able to reach Qiuzi within seven days. Chu Zheng reported to Li Ye that they came all the way west from the grassland, and the road was much better than that of Hexi, and the speed was faster than that of the Tiger Guards.

"After the army traveled long distances, and after entering the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, they rested for a period of time in Qiuzi, brought the magic weapons, ordnance and grain in the warehouse, and then stationed in Gumo Prefecture in the west. Li Ye informed Chu Zheng of the arrangements and asked him to go back so that he could follow Shangguan Chengcheng to explain.

In this western expedition, the Tang Dynasty dispatched a lot of soldiers and horses, and it was naturally not feasible to be stationed in Qiuci. Those who came first and needed to enter the battlefield first, after replenishing supplies in Qiuzi and other places, they had to move forward to their respective positions to prepare.

Gumo Prefecture is located at the confluence of the Hulu River and the Diao River, and the Dashicheng City, more than 100 miles northwest of the city, is on the bank of the Hulu River.

These two places are already two of the three westernmost cities controlled by the Protectorate of the Western Regions, and further northwest, the first big city encountered will be the city of Barth Khan. The Wolf Tooth Army was placed here, naturally, in order to attack the city of Barth Khan, as well as the vast land behind it, including Shattered Leaf City.

This is the northern line.

Four hundred miles southwest of Gumo Prefecture, there is a city in the mountains, called Weitou Prefecture, which will be the place where the Tiger Guards will be stationed. It was relatively close to the city of Shule, and the subsequent attack on the city of Shule, as well as the war in the south of the Black Khanate, would be led by the Tiger Guards.

This is the southern route.

The marching arrangements for these two lines were decided by Li Ye after discussing with Zhang Huaishen.

The Wolf Tooth Army and the Tiger Guard Army were stationed in Gumo Prefecture and Weitou Prefecture for a period of time, and after recuperating their strength, it was also the time when the weather was getting cooler, which was suitable for the army to fight.

After Chu Zheng returned, Li Ye called Zhang Huaishen to continue to study the route and arrangement of the Black Khanate.

The two deduced the battle situation for a long time, repeatedly confirmed that there was no omission, and when they left Yutu and returned to the back of the case, Zhang Huaishen was a little emotional.

"The current Black Khanate, including the entire Seven Rivers Valley, is the jurisdiction of the former Anxi Protectorate, not an inch, and it is only the western part of the Tianshan Mountains and the part west of it.

"Previously, the Black Khanate failed to grasp the vast areas of rich land south of the Wuhu River, such as Kunxu Prefecture, Qisha Prefecture, Daqin Prefecture, Shufeng, and Tiaozhi Prefecture in the southwest of the Anxi Prefecture. And in the northwest of the Anxi Prefecture, including Huo Xun, the fontanelle thistle, the Tatar Ken descended to the vulture, the sincere criticism, the trench stirred Shun Tho, the kind of small!?/p>

Speaking of this, Zhang Huaishen said indignantly: "The Black Khanate claims to be a dynasty, thinks it is prosperous, and is unrivaled in the Seven Rivers Valley, but in fact it is really not worthy of its name. ”

Looking at him, it seems that the territory of the Black Khanate should be larger. Since it is to inherit the foundation left by the early years of the Tang Dynasty and establish the country, it should be completely inherited, so as not to disgrace the original glory of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Ye smiled dumbly. He can understand the other party's feelings, in fact, this is the same as the Zhao Song Dynasty and the failure to inherit the territory of the Tang Dynasty, which not only reflects the incompetence of the Zhao Song Dynasty, but also an insult to the Tang Dynasty.

Li Ye saw this more thoroughly, so he was indifferent, he said: "In the early years, the people of the Tang Dynasty were too majestic, and the territory they opened up was too vast.

At that time, the city of Talas was the hinterland, not only the Tocharian department in the north and south of the Wuhu River, all under the control of the Anxi Protectorate, and the southern part of the jurisdiction was directly connected to Tianzhu, and there was no small state in the middle; ”

Zhang Huaishen, as the former envoy of the Guiyi Army, still knows a lot about the affairs in the west.

When the Arabs were eating people and the Crescent Cult invaded Persia, their prince Belus asked the Tang Dynasty for help, and the Tang Dynasty set up the Persian Governor's Mansion in Jiling City, and made Belus the governor for several years.

Li Ye continued: "In the final analysis, the Black Khanate is just a small state, and it is already a fluke to be able to exist for a while and obtain the qualification to survive independently.

"Expecting them to know what the glory of the Tang Dynasty and the glory of the Tang Dynasty are, that is to play the piano to the cow. Their level is too low, they can't see these things, they can't imagine it, and they can't understand what Datang is. ”

Zhang Huai bowed deeply, "Your Majesty is very right, it is true." ”

Speaking, he said sincerely: "To be born as a Tang person, to be born in another prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, to follow His Majesty to establish the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, is really the greatest luck in this life!"

The Guiyi Army used to be lonely and surrounded by enemies on all sides, and held high the Tang flag and fought endlessly, Zhang Huaishen was the most able to deeply appreciate what the glory of the Tang Dynasty was. The words he said now are full of affection and moving.

Li Ye just nodded and didn't say anything.

In fact, well frogs in these places in Central Asia once had the hope of seeing the sea.

If the Anxi Protectorate had always existed, those of them who could open their eyes to the world and those with lofty ideals and insight, along the Anxi Protectorate to the east, would still be able to understand what the sea of stars was.

It's a pity that God didn't favor them, and gave them this opportunity before, but later took it back.

The Anxi Protectorate once sat on the Western Regions and the whole territory of Central Asia, bordering Persia in the west and Tianzhu in the south, and there were no small states and miscellaneous fish between the three. And now, when the Tang Dynasty rebuilds the Anxi Protectorate, everything will inevitably start from scratch.

Seven days later, the Wolf Tooth Army arrived in Qiuzi, and Li Ye did not wait for Shangguan to come to see him, so he went to the camp set up by the Wolf Tooth Army outside the city.

"The minister didn't know that His Majesty was coming, and he didn't have time to go out of the camp to greet him, please forgive your Majesty!" In front of the big tent of the Chinese army, Shangguan Chengcheng saluted Li Ye with a kind of subordinate general.

"There is no need to say this, let's get flat and take me to see the most elite cavalry in the Tang Dynasty. Li Ye waved his hand, signaling that Shangguan Allure did not need to be polite.

Today, with the Tang Dynasty army fighting in all directions, invincible, the sergeants are like a rainbow, and more than one soldier in the realm of famous generals has been raised. Aside from Li Xian, King Qi, Zhao Poyu, Yang Xingmi, etc., have all successively achieved the realm of famous generals.

However, Shangguan Chengcheng is still unique in the army, and his position is unshakable. This is not only because Li Ye treats her very preferentially, but also because her realm has not stopped improving. I don't know where the end is.

Li Ye had heard the name "Soldier Saint".

But before, it was only a legendary existence, and it was rumored that Bai Qi, Wang Qian, Huo Quzhi, Li Jing and others had reached this realm, but there was no evidence or clear record, but the disciples of the military family thought so.

Maybe Shangguan Allure can prove that there is no such realm as a soldier saint above the famous generals?

If the Tang army fought to Baghdad, to the west, to the border where the Mongolian iron cavalry "had" arrived, would such a war feed a soldier saint?

Li Ye didn't think too much, under the banner of inspecting the barracks and comforting the soldiers, he followed Shangguan Chengcheng around the camp.

Under normal circumstances, when the emperor comes to inspect the military situation, he will naturally be followed by a large group of generals, guards and other figures, but at the moment, behind Li Ye and Shangguan Chengcheng, there is no such person.

The Wolf Tooth Army was used to this scene.

No matter where they were stationed, Li Ye would often appear in the camp, and in a small part of the time, he would communicate with the soldiers in various ways, such as observing their training, talking to them, and checking their skills...... But most of the time, Li Ye would follow Shangguan Chengcheng to "patrol" in the camp.

The barracks of the Wolf Tooth Army, from the big tent of the Chinese army to the small stove in the house, have left Li Ye and Shangguan Chengcheng.

Li Ye sometimes appears as the incarnation of the Eye of the Emperor, and sometimes the deity arrives, and whenever the latter situation occurs, the generals and colonels in the camp will suffer. Because His Majesty the Emperor likes to compete with others, he also uses the name of instructing soldiers in combat skills and improving the combat power of the army.

In this way, no matter how you look at it, the Wolf Tooth Army has the nature of Li Ye's pro-army.

After the whole army of the Wolf Tooth Army was Qi cultivators, some of the new soldiers always looked proud and proud when they mentioned this matter, and sometimes they were excited to train for several days and nights in a row.

And the veterans will appear at this time, slap these recruits on the head, tell them to go and rest, and the old god is telling them that since the Qingzhou period, the wolf tooth army is His Majesty's pro-army, what's all the fuss about?

And His Majesty has also been in the battle formation of the Wolf Tooth Army, and has fought on the battlefield with the soldiers, such as when the Yellow Nest Rebellion was quelled.

All in all, Shangguan Chengcheng has a transcendent status in the entire Chang'an Forbidden Army, and no one only regards her as the commander of the army.

"Among the more than 100,000 soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Army, the high level of qi training has accounted for thirty percent, and the grade of the war horse has also been improved accordingly over the years. Coupled with the large and small magic weapons for each purpose, and then on the battlefield, even if the Wolf Tooth Army does not have the cooperation of the infantry army, it can attack the city and pull out the village. ”

Shangguan Chengcheng secretly glanced at Li Ye, and when he saw that the other party was not squinting, he looked at it a few more times, and the whiter his face became the redder his lips became.

She continued, "When you reach the high stage of Qi training, and then the tall city wall, the monk can jump up. And now, the monks' war horses also have this strength. If necessary, the Wolf Tooth Army can directly go to the city wall, or even jump over the city wall and kill directly into the city!"

Li Ye kept bowing his head when he listened, this was indeed a scene that would make him happy just thinking about it.

Turned his head to look at the other party, and was about to praise two words, when he suddenly found that the two had walked out of the camp at some point, and the other party's red and white face looked delicate and beautiful in the sunset at the moment, and it was not without shyness, and he was puzzled by the second monk.

"For the Tang Dynasty and the Great Food, the Black Khanate is the middle buffer zone, and the task of the first battle of the Wolf Tooth Army is to cooperate with the layout of the Western Regions Commercial Bank, so that this buffer zone will cease to exist in the blink of an eye, and completely become our front formation, without giving the Great Food a chance to react!"

Li Ye didn't think too much, focused on the battle situation, "After arriving in Gumo Prefecture, you should hurry up and recuperate, once the military order is issued, you will be dispatched with thunder, let these Central Asian buns see what the elite of the Tang Dynasty is!"

"Command!"
