Chapter 1377 Bad news(2/2)
"Sanlang, the envoy from the palace, Xuan Sanlang entered the palace."
Qin Lang looked at the sky outside. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and there will be a Lantern Festival in Luoyang City that lasts for half a month. Jinwu couldn't help it.
But after all, it was already very late to come back from the palace banquet.
At this time, why do you still call me in the palace?
When Qin Lang saw the envoy from the palace, it was Gao Fu, the deputy chief of the provincial eunuch. When he met, he told him the situation directly.
"A hundred thousand urgent military information has just been reported in the Western Regions. The Western Regions are completely in chaos. The Western Turks, the great cannibals, and the Tocharis people, the Zhaowu Sogdians all rebelled. General Guo Xiaoke was killed in battle, the Anxi army was defeated, and the generals were severely damaged. The situation in the Western Regions was critical. After hearing this, the saints rushed around and ordered the servants to come and invite the Grand Tutor and the Prince to enter the palace to report."
Guo Xiaoke is dead.
This news is indeed amazing.
Since the Zhenguan period, Guo Xiaoke has been guarding the Western Regions. In history, Guo Xiaoke died in the Battle of Kucha, but in this time and space, Yanqi and Kucha were easily defeated by the Tang Dynasty, and Guo Xiaoke made new contributions to this, and then he often conquered the Western Regions.
Not long ago, Li Yin decided to send troops from the Western Regions to attack the Xindu River Basin, and then let Guo Xiaoke take charge of the Dayuan Military Town and coordinate the overall situation.
Who knew that this evil news was coming now.
Qin Lang asked a few questions. Gao Fu didn't know much, but he knew that the Dashi Army suddenly advanced eastward and rushed to Mulu. After receiving the letter of help, Guo Xiaoke led his troops from Dayuan Army Town to Mulu. As a result, he was ambushed by Tuqi on the road and finally repelled Tuqi. As a result, the Sogdians behind Guo Xiaoke rebelled and blocked the retreat.
The Turkic Yehu of Tochar also led the Tocharians to lead the great cannibals to the death. Guo Xiaoke was forced to fight in the wilderness, with no danger to support him, and he was short of food and grass. He fought and walked and retreated to the direction of the Pamir Mountains, but was ambushed and intercepted by the Geluo cavalry.
When Guo Xiaoke sent troops from the Dayuan Army Town, there were only 3,000 Tang troops, and the rest were 5,000 Zhaowu Sogdians. Who knew that the former ministers of the Western Regions belonged to the Tang Dynasty and said that they would rebel. During the war, the last three thousand Tang army infantry and cavalry in the Dayuan Army Town died in the west of the Pamir Mountains.
Guo Xiaoke refused to escape alone, held the military flag in his hand, and died in a fierce battle. His eldest son died together.
