Although the Tufan Kingdom had a strong military force, its foundation in the Western Regions was too weak. After being disconnected from the two major warlords, Songtsen Gampo immediately arrived at the pressure to rule the Western Regions.

The prefectures occupied by the Tufan army are not as honest as those occupied by the two major warlords. Small-scale uprisings are coming one after another, and the Semu people riots come every few days!

The Tubo people had to disperse a large number of troops to stay in the newly occupied territory.

After all, the Tubo people were just a newcomer, and the Semi people and Han people in the Western Regions had a very low sense of identity with them!

Especially the Han class, it is generally believed that the independence of the Tufan Kingdom was a betrayal of the Han people. On the contrary, the hatred value of the two warlord families who led wolves into the house was even lower...

Songtsen Gampo deeply felt the pain of not leading the way, and also regretted that he was too anxious to eliminate the orthodox power of the Anxi Protectorate and oversupport the warlord forces of Khotan and Yanqi...

In fact, Songtsen Gampo had also left a backup plan before. The Zhaowu family in the west received support from the Tufan tribe warriors, and the battle was Songtsen Gampo's backup plan.

He planned to support a Zhaowu family in the western region far away from the four towns of Anxi, and unify the areas west of the Pamir Mountains to check and balance the excessive expansion of Yutian and Yanqi after the war.

It’s a pity that the Zhaowu family was defeated the first target of conquest...

Naturally, Songtsen Gampo's backhand was also wiped out.

However, the general trend has been formed now, and no matter how much Songtsen Gampo regrets, it is useless. Now most of the main force of Tufan is used to consolidate the newly occupied territory. The remaining power is not only used to deal with the two major warlords of Khotan and Yanqi, but even if it attacks Shule Army Town, it is not 100% sure of winning.

What's more, Songtsen Gampo doesn't want to lose too much military strength in his direct line!

Although the Tufan army is known as one million and the actual number is 500,000, the actual number of soldiers is only over 200,000. Among the soldiers, there are less than 50,000 people who can be compared with the two major warlords and private armies of Khotan and Yanqi...

The Tufan Kingdom's independence was too short, and most of them were tribal armed warriors and brave men, and there was not even much iron armor. Now most of the iron armor in the Tufan Kingdom's army was seized from the warehouse after expelling the Tang army...

Moreover, because the Tufan Kingdom was a vassal state, it was always under the surveillance of the Tang Dynasty during peacetime, and no large-scale military industry was established in the Tufan Kingdom. As a result, the Tufan Kingdom had few craftsmen who built armor after its independence!

The Tang Dynasty was not stupid, so naturally he would not spend money to develop the economy and manufacturing industry of the Tufan Kingdom.

Because of this, the Tufan Kingdom was very poor. The poor living environment created a large number of lifeless Tufan barbarian warriors, which made the Tufan Kingdom's weapons and equipment very poor, but its combat effectiveness could reach the average level of the Tang army's local garrison troops.

A few of the elite Tufans can even confront the regular army of the Tang Dynasty, but the number of elite soldiers is too small...

If we can obtain the Western Regions, which were locally operated by the Tang Dynasty, the Tufan Kingdom will have a large number of mature Han craftsmen, which can completely make up for the lack of iron manufacturing in the Tufan Kingdom.

As long as there is enough good equipment to provide it, it is still easy to arm an army that dares to fight with the fierceness of the Tufan tribe warriors.

This is why the Tufan Kingdom urgently hopes to occupy the entire Western Region.

Of course, outsiders cannot see the weakness of the Tufan Kingdom. At least the warlords in the Western Regions did not know that the Tufan Kingdom had a large number of brave and barbaric warriors, but their weapons and equipment productivity were extremely scarce.

Before, Yuchi Yingzhe and Long Letian defected to the Tufan Kingdom. On the one hand, they were attracted by the benefits given by Songtsen Gampus, and on the other hand, they were scared by the "million-million army" of the Tufan Kingdom.

However, when the million-strong army of the Tufan Kingdom really appeared, Yuchi Yingzhe and Long Letian both saw the essence of the so-called million-strong army, so they naturally no longer feared. Through a series of battles, even the proportion of the warriors and the armor-wrapped rate of the Tufan Army were clearly understood by the two warlords, and they did not take the Tufan Kingdom seriously!

If there is a chance, Long Letian and Yuchi Yingzhe will naturally not be willing to be their younger brothers for Songtsen Gampo, the king of Tufan!

The two families did not insist on rebelling against the Tufan Kingdom. It would be of no benefit to do that. They were not Han nationalists...

The state that Yuchi Yingzhe and Long Letian most desire is to be oneself, control the Western Regions as the family foundation, and become an independent "vassal state".

In other words, the two warlords were eager to establish a vassal relationship with the Tufan Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty court before it.

It can not only obtain protection, but also retain a lot of autonomy!

If you can promote the "gong" to "king", that's the best!

People's ambitions increase as their strength increases.

In this way, Yanqigong's army marched along the line of Shuye and Julan to march westward from north to the Pamir Mountains.

All prefectures and counties encountered along the way were declared.

The army of Khotan Gong rushed to Jumi Mansion along the path south of the Pamir Mountains, and no battles occurred in the prefectures and counties along the way...

Compared to Richard, the rising Ming Dynasty king of the grassroots, Long Letian and Yuchi Yingzhe are both veteran bosses of the Western Regions. Their connections in the Western Regions are not comparable to those of Richard, so those prefectures and counties are naturally unwilling to resist unnecessary.

This is the general trend!

It is also a human heart!

It is obviously easier to accept than surrender to the Tubo people.

Because Tufan is an outsider, God knows whether the Tubo people will settle the score later and deprive the Han gentry class of power?

As long as the Western Region warlords like Yuchi Yingzhe and Long Letian are not confused, they will never touch the interests of the Han gentry class that they have become accustomed to.

As for the Shule Army, who represented the orthodox side of the Tang Dynasty, the situation was hopeless. Although there were many people who sympathized with him, not many people were willing to continue to set foot on the broken ship in Luyang and buried with him...

People who can achieve high positions are very realistic and will never choose the party that will lose.

This kind of political investment is a bet on the life of the whole family and cannot tolerate any personal emotions!

After Richard completed the occupation and policy reform in Shiguo Mansion, he naturally received news that the army of two north and south was advanced to him.

Long Letian and Yuchi Yingzhe rushed over with their respective main forces in a turbulent manner. Of course, Richard could not sit still and wait for death. If he wanted to gain a foothold in the Western Regions and continue to expand, war was inevitable!

After analysis of information from both sides, Richard took Yuchi Yingzhe, who was walking on the south road, as the first target to deal with. The main reason was that Yuchi Yingzhe's starting point was closer and he had already occupied the Jumi Mansion at this time and was about to approach the US Mansion!

Yuchi Yingzhe had tens of thousands of front-line field troops and tens of thousands of semester servants and young and strong soldiers. He could never stop it by relying on the eighth field team of the United States Mansion, which had just been divided into fields.
Chapter completed!
