Chapter 233

If the troops of the garrison of Xi'an City attack tuhuro and attack the big food in white on both sides, the best situation is to take the governor's office of Persia as the boundary, and then divide and rule them.

But in such a situation, it is bound to let them pay. After more than a year of hard work and conquest, Tubo will become independent again, and even give them a good opportunity to attack the four towns in Anxi.

In this way, it may even give Tubo and white food a chance to attack themselves! Li Hong is not going to do something that is not worth the loss.

Now, the best way is to give up the Persian governor's office, take Anxi four towns as the center, and stabilize the areas just under repression, such as Tubo, asnaduzhi, and so on. After gaining a firm foothold in the western regions, the best way is to plan for tuhuoluo and other places.

After all, the four towns in Anxi, after years of construction, have already been governed by Li Hong. It is not the Anxi Prefecture that was in turmoil in those years.

Wang Mingyuan and the 20000 troops of the Tang Dynasty must be rescued. In any case, we can't watch them trapped to death.

"Order the army to divert to Shule, and order Li Jingxuan to lead the Yumenguan garrison into Khotan town! He ordered Wang Fangyi to change defense with him and enter Yumen pass, and ordered yuan Shuji to go from Loulan to Shaye town to garrison immediately! " Li Hong has always been worried about Wang Fangyi of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and letting Wang Fangyi change defense with Li Jingxuan has already explained the scruples in his heart.

On this point, Li Hong and his dragon mother Wu Mei have very similar views.

According to historical records, Wang Fangyi died of illness after being exiled to Yazhou because of Wu Mei's suspicion.

With Li Hong's orders, more than 14000 troops began to move forward, along the western edge of the takalamakan desert, and began to go to Shule town.

And there, it is Xue Rengui who is stationed there.

Black teeth often follow Li Hong, originally intended to return to Khotan town guard, now because of Li Hong's order, had to continue to follow the prince to Shule.

Although his Highness The Prince did not explain it, he could feel that his highness would have to fight a hard battle next. Otherwise, he would not stay by his side and not guard Khotan.

If you want to go to the governor's office of Persia, it is the fastest and safest way to get out through Shule and then continue to advance to the southwest.

However, if you want to avoid the troops in the territory, you need to work hard.

Fortunately, when Li Hong ordered him to go to Shule, he had already sent hengqiao and Fang Zhan of Jingwei to Shule. Their task was to lead Li Hong and others to guide them through tuhuoro to Persia.

Li Hong was very aware of the importance of military speed, so he did not arrive at Shule and began to divide the troops.

Most of the troops followed Quan Yi back to Shule city. Li Hong was not worried about Guo Shifeng and Cheng Wuting, but because the two men were incompatible and needed a commander-in-chief who could live in the town, and Quan Yi was now the most suitable candidate.

Li Hong knew very well that he was determined to go to the Persian governor's office and rescue the 20000 Tang soldiers. This trip would never be smooth and smooth.

It can even be said that it is extremely dangerous. If one of them is not well done, I am afraid that even my own life and others will have to be put on it.

He also took a cautious attitude. Xue Rengui and Hei Chi Chang, two experienced generals, went to the rescue with him. Banmei and xunlan were put in Shule city by him.

Although Banmei and Xulan, including Quanyi, are reluctant to do so, they have to obey the orders of the prince to go to Shule city.

Under the command of Li Hong, the remaining 7000 people were led by Hei Chi Chang, who led 3000 troops to the center.

Xue Rengui has already gathered 3000 people in the mountains ahead, waiting to join him as a forward.

Fang Zhan and Heng Qiao led hundreds of people, including a reluctant white Qi, as scouts to enter the city.

Xue Rengui is majestic and upright. He is over 50 years old, but he is upright. He is wearing armor on his body and standing there like an iron tower.

With the fierce and broad-minded spirit of the soldiers, Li Hong rushed forward to salute when he saw Li Hong leading his troops. He led the horse and said, "Your Highness, you can go with the black tooth Chang. You are respected. If there is an accident this time, the last general will wait for someone..."

"You don't have to persuade me. It's very dangerous and dangerous. How can I sit in Shule city and watch you take risks? How about being a prince? If Tang and I can come here in person, I will die. " Li Hong looked at the black crowd and roared.

Xue Rengui and Hei Chi Chang looked at each other. As outstanding generals who had been on the battlefield for many years and had many years of experience in commanding the army, how could they not know that the words of his highness, the morale of these more than 10000 people had been improved immeasurably.

No one thinks that this is the prince's highness. He is trying to win the support of all the people in Anxi.

After all, Anxi Dufu has already been branded with the brand of Prince governance, which no one can deny.What's more, Chang'an City has not really transferred his royal highness back to the palace in recent years. Obviously, Chang'an City has approved all the actions of his highness in Anxi.

Looking at Li Hong's resolute and resolute look, Xue Rengui, the decisive general, no longer tried to dissuade him. After taking orders from Hei Chi Chang, he went on his own business.

It's a nomadic nation, and a country with many young women and many men.

In its heyday, the troops were only 100000. Therefore, for the tuhuolo, which was always swallowed up by the two countries, the whole people were soldiers and the men were accustomed to war.

One of the most wonderful customs, of course, is the marriage custom of Tuvalu. The Sui book once recorded: brothers and wives, sleep Yan, each person into the house, hang their clothes outside the house as the ambition, the birth of children belongs to their elder brother.

After entering the area of Tuvalu, Li Hong began to order Fang Zhan and Heng Qiao to walk on the stone path that was not noticed.

If you meet a small group of troops of tuhuro, annihilate it. This is also for the sake of keeping their whereabouts secret, so as not to be discovered as soon as they enter other countries.

After crossing the Wuhu River, Li Hong ordered the troops to speed up.

All people's lives began to be completed on the horse's back. They took a nap on the horse's back, ate on the horse's back, and the horse's food was also fed on the horse's back.

With the gradual deepening, there were more and more tents in the territory of Tuvalu. Among them, several groups of small nomadic tribes were encountered. All of them were quickly destroyed by Fang Zhan and hengqiao. Before the nomadic cavalry of Tuvalu understood what was going on, they were annihilated.

All the people, including the wounded horses, were dragged into the depths of the mountains by the troops behind them. I'm afraid that it will be impossible to find these bodies for a year and a half, and even may never be found.

Like the western regions and Tubo, the geographical environment of vast territory and sparse population makes people sigh again for the beauty of the plateau.

The thin air, the blue sky and the unique purity of high altitude make Li Hong and others have no time to look at it carefully.

It took them 13 days to get close to the south of the city of tuhuro, and now they have only gone 500 Li.

Entering the hinterland means that it is more and more likely to be discovered. After discussing with Xue Rengui and Hei chichang, Li Hong had to change his strategy.

During the day, 10000 people were hiding in the mountains and valleys, which were not easy to be seen. At night, they continued to march in a hurry.

Fang Zhan and Heng Qiao had branches on their heads, and their weapons were wrapped in cloth to prevent reflection. When they were discovered by the tuhuoluo people, the herdsmen on another hillside.

The whole team is extremely quiet, and everyone's face is hung with caution and seriousness. Feeding horses and other necessities of life are all solved in close proximity to the army's rest.

It is such an environment, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he can adapt to it calmly and easily.

Every day when the troops are resting, within an hour, the whole station will stink. After all, 10000 people eat and drink in a tiny place, but his highness can still talk and laugh like others.

Such an optimistic mood, coupled with the attitude of putting down his noble status and working together with ordinary soldiers, made Xue Rengui, who was still worried that his royal highness would not be able to eat the arduous March, could not help admiring Li Hong.

Black tooth Chang, who followed Li Hong in the Tibetan war for more than a year, had long been accustomed to his Royal Highness's indifferent March attitude.

The night, which was supposed to continue marching, was blocked by a thick cloud layer in the sky. A storm began to pour out after covering the whole land at night.

In the heavy rain at night, everyone's body was soaked by the rain.

Huameng and his four men, including his Royal Highness's bodyguard, looked at the top of the mountain not far away from the front. Just as they wanted to ask Li Hong to go there for shelter, they were stopped by Li Hong's cheering.

Stepping on the muddy and slippery path, Li Hong wiped the rain on his face and yelled at the lawlessness: "if the order goes on, the horse in everyone's hands must be on the ground, and must not be raised above the head. No one is allowed to stand in the trees and other high places to shelter from the rain, but must stand in this canyon. "

As the rain poured down, the narrow canyon was about to turn into a river. Without waiting for the orders of other generals, some soldiers began to consciously lead their horses to find a highland to shelter themselves from the rain, instead of standing in the knee deep rain water, waiting for the end of the heavy rain.

From the top of his head, he heard the voice of thunder.
