The sun was still very strong, and the fine dust of the loess city was scorched. However, the trees inside and outside the city had lost a lot of leaves, and some of the branches were still yellow. So the people of Kucha City know that autumn is already on the way.
On the day of Liqiu, Li Ye met Chu Zheng at the Protectorate of the Western Regions. The latter, as the vanguard envoy of Shangguan Qingcheng, came to Kucha earlier to contact the Protectorate and see Li Ye.
"The Spike Army has arrived at the northern foot of Jinshan Mountain. With the foot strength of the army, they will be able to reach Qiuci within seven days." Chu Zheng reported to Li Ye that they came all the way west from the grassland, and the road was much easier than Hexi. The speed is also faster than the Tiger Guards.
"The army traveled a long distance. After entering the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, they rested in Qiuci for a period of time. They took the magic weapons and food in the warehouse, and then stationed in Gumo Prefecture in the west." Li Ye informed Chu Zheng of the arrangement and asked him to go back. It's better to follow Shangguan Qingcheng's explanation.
During this Western Expedition, Datang dispatched a lot of soldiers and horses, and it was impossible for them to be stationed in Kucha. Those who come first and need to enter the battlefield first, after replenishing supplies in Qiuci and other places, must move forward to their respective positions to prepare.
Gumo Prefecture is located at the confluence of the Hulu River and the Diaohua River, and Dashicheng, more than a hundred miles away to the northwest, is on the banks of the Hulu River.
These two places are already the second of the three westernmost cities controlled by the Protectorate of the Western Regions. If you go further to the northwest, the first big city you will encounter will be the city of Balsikhan. The Spike Army was placed here, naturally to attack the city of Bars Khan and the vast land behind it, including Suiye 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 is relatively close to Shule City, and the attack on Shule City and the southern part of the Black Khanate will be led by the Tiger Guards.
This is the southern line.
The marching arrangements for these two lines were decided after discussions between Li Ye and Zhang Huaishen.
The Spike Army and the Tiger Guard Army stationed in Gumo Prefecture and Weitou Prefecture for a period of time. After recharging their energy, it is also time for the weather to turn cold, which is suitable for the army to fight.
After Chu Zheng went back, Li Ye called Zhang Huaishen to continue to study the route and arrangement of using troops against the Black Khanate.
The two deduced the battle situation for a long time, and repeatedly confirmed that there were no omissions. When they left the map and returned to the case, Zhang Huai was deeply moved.
"The current Black Khanate, including the entire Seven Rivers Basin, is under the jurisdiction of the former Anxi Protectorate, not an inch more, and it is only the western part of the Tianshan Mountains and its west.
"Previously, the large and fertile lands south of the Wuhu River, such as Kunxu Prefecture, Qisha Prefecture, Daqin Prefecture, Xiefeng, and Tiaozhi in the southwest of Anxi Dufu, were not controlled by the Black Khanate. But in the northwest of Anxi Dufu , Including Huo Xun? 鞒灰芝じ? Da willing to surrender? Heartfelt criticism
Speaking of this, Zhang Huai said resentfully: "The Black Khanate claims to be a dynasty, thinks it is at its peak, and is unparalleled in the Seven Rivers Basin. In fact, it really does not live up to its name."
Judging by his appearance, it seems that the territory of the Black Khanate should be bigger. Since it is to inherit the foundation left by the Tang Dynasty in the early years, the country established should be completely inherited, so that it can not be considered as a disgrace to the original glory of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Ye couldn't help but laugh. He can understand the mood of the other party. In fact, this is the same reason as the Zhao Song Dynasty, which failed to inherit the territory of the Tang Dynasty. This not only reflects Zhao Song's incompetence, but also an insult to the Tang Dynasty.
Li Ye saw this more thoroughly, so he seemed indifferent, he said: "The people of the prosperous Tang Dynasty in the early years were too powerful and unparalleled, and the territory they opened up was too vast.
"At that time, Talas City was the heartland. Not only the Tocharo tribe in the north and south of the Wuhu River was under the control of Anxi Duhufu, the southern part of the jurisdiction was directly connected to Tianzhu, and there was no small state in the middle; its southwest, It even established the Persian Governor's Mansion, which can be said to have penetrated into the Persian border."
Zhang Huaishen, as the former envoy of the Guiyi Army Jiedu, still knows things in the west very well.
When the Arab cannibals and the Crescent Sect invaded Persia, their prince Belus asked Datang for help. Datang established the Persian Governor's Mansion in Jiling City, and let Belus serve as the governor for several years.
Li Ye continued: "In the final analysis, the Black Khanate is just a small state of Quer, and it is a fluke to be able to exist for a while and obtain the qualification to live independently.
"If you expect them to understand the glory of the Great Tang Dynasty and the glory of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, that's playing the piano against the cow. Their level is too low, they can't see these things, they can't imagine them, and they can't understand what the Great Tang Dynasty is."

Zhang Huai bowed deeply and answered, "Your Majesty is absolutely right, it is true."
As he spoke, he said sincerely: "To be born as a native of the Tang Dynasty, to be born in another prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty, and to follow His Majesty to establish the glory of the Tang Dynasty, is really the greatest luck in my life!"
The Guiyi Army once hung alone outside the Great Wall, surrounded by enemies on all sides, and held high the Tang flag to fight endlessly. Zhang Huaishen is the most able to appreciate the glory of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The words I'm saying now are full of affection and moving.
Li Ye just nodded without saying anything.
In fact, the well frogs in these places in Central Asia once had the hope of seeing the sea.
If the Anxi Protector's Mansion has always existed, those ambitious and insightful people who can open their eyes to see the world may still understand what the sea of stars is.
It's a pity that God didn't take care of them. He gave them this opportunity before, but later took it back.
The Anxi Protectorate's Mansion used to occupy the entire Western Regions and Central Asia, with Persia to the west and Tianzhu to the south, and there were no small states between the three. But now, when Datang rebuilt the Anxi Protectorate, everything must start from scratch.
Seven days later, the Spike Army arrived in Kucha. Li Ye didn't wait for Shangguan Qingcheng to come to see him, but went to the camp set up by the Spike Army outside the city.
"I didn't know His Majesty was coming, so I didn't come out of the camp to greet you, Your Majesty, please forgive me!" In front of the tent of the Chinese army, Shangguan Qingcheng saluted Li Ye with a general.
"You don't need to talk about this, let's get down, and show me the most elite cavalry in the Tang Dynasty." Li Ye waved his hand, indicating that Shangguan Qingcheng does not need to be polite.
To this day, with the army of the Tang Dynasty fighting in all directions, they are invincible, and the soldiers are as powerful as a rainbow, and they have raised more than one military monk in the realm of famous generals. Leaving aside Li Xian, King Qi, Zhao Polu, Yang Xingmi, etc., have all achieved the realm of famous generals successively.
But Shangguan Qingcheng 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 has heard of the name "Sage of Soldiers".
But before, it was only regarded as a legendary existence. It was rumored that Bai Qi, Wang Jian, Huo Qubing, Li Jing and others had reached this level, but there was no evidence or clear records, only the military disciples thought so.
Maybe Shangguan Qingcheng can prove whether there is a realm of soldier saint above famous generals
If the Tang army went to Baghdad, went to the west, and went to the border where the Mongolian cavalry "had" reached, would such a war feed a soldier
Li Ye didn't think too much, and wandered around the camp with Shangguan Qingcheng in the name of inspecting the military camp and comforting the soldiers.
Under normal circumstances, when the emperor came to inspect the military situation, he would naturally be followed by a large group of generals, guards and the like, but right now, behind Li Ye and Shangguan Qingcheng, there was no such person.
The Wolf Fang Army is used to this scene.
No matter where they are stationed, Li Ye will often appear in the camp, and in a small part of the time, he will have various exchanges with the soldiers, such as observing their training, chatting with them, checking their abilities... But most of them Sometimes, Li Ye would follow Shangguan Qingcheng to "inspect" the camp.
In the barracks of the Spike Army, as large as the large tent of the Chinese army, as small as the stove in the kitchen, there were Li Ye and Shangguan Qingcheng's figure left behind.
Sometimes Li Ye appeared as the incarnation of the Eye of Emperor Dao, and sometimes also came as his real body. Whenever the latter situation appeared, the generals and schools in the camp would suffer. Because His Majesty the Emperor likes to compete with others, he also called it to guide the soldiers' combat skills and improve the army's combat power.
In this way, no matter how you look at it, the Spike Army has the nature of Li Ye's pro-army.
After the entire army of the Spike Army became qi training monks, some newcomers always looked proud and proud when they mentioned this matter, and sometimes they even trained excitedly for several days and nights.
And the veterans will appear at this time, slap these new recruits on the forehead, let them go to rest, and the old god told them that since the Qingzhou period, the Spike Army has been your majesty's army, what's the good of that What's all the fuss about
Moreover, His Majesty also participated in the battle of the Spike Army and fought with the soldiers on the battlefield, for example, when the Huangchao Rebellion was put down.
All in all, Shangguan Qingcheng has a detached status in the entire Chang'an Forbidden Army, and no one only regards her as a general of the army.
"Among the more than 100,000 soldiers of the Wolf Fang Army, 30% of them are at the high level of Qi training, and the rank of war horses has also been improved correspondingly in these years. Coupled with the large and small magical weapons that have different uses, and on the battlefield, the Wolf Fang Army is even more powerful. Without the cooperation of the infantry, you can attack the city by yourself."
Shangguan Qingcheng glanced at Li Ye secretly, seeing that the other party was not looking sideways, he took a few more glances, his pale face became whiter and his red lips became redder.
She continued: "At the high level of Qi training, monks can jump up even tall city walls. Now, the horses of the monks also have this kind of strength. In future battles, when necessary, the Spike Army can Go directly to the city wall, or even jump over the city wall, and directly enter the city!"
Li Ye kept nodding his head when he heard this, it was indeed a scene that would make him happy just thinking about it.
He turned his head and glanced at the other party, and was about to say a few words of praise, when he suddenly realized that the two of them had already walked out of the camp at some point. The other party's red and white face looked delicate and charming under the setting sun at this moment, and it was not without shyness. Monk Zhang Er was puzzled.
"For Datang and Dashi, the Black Khanate is the intermediate buffer zone. The mission of the Spike Army's first battle is to cooperate with the arrangement of the Western Regions Commercial Firms, so that this buffer zone will disappear in the blink of an eye and completely become ours. Don't give Da Shi a chance to react!"
Li Ye didn't think too much, and focused on the battle situation. "When you arrive in Gumo Prefecture, you must recharge your energy and recharge your batteries. Once the military order is issued, you will be dispatched by thunder. Let these bumpkins in Central Asia see what is the elite of the Tang Dynasty!"
"The minister takes orders!"
