In the beginning of spring, more than 10,000 vanguard troops led by Su Dawei finally passed by Longyou and entered Wuwei.

It took nearly half a year to set off from Chang'an in September.

It was not until here that the army was settled.

Only then did Su Dawei have the opportunity to organize the information collected in his hands.

Now the Tang Dynasty's entire front in Hexi was arranged in a very large way. Pei Xingjian served as the arch-guardian of Anxi and led his army to station in Kucha.

In the first year of Longshuo in the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court sent Wang Ming, the envoy to establish prefectures and counties, to inspect the west of the Pamir Mountains.

To the west of Gutan and to the east of Persia, sixteen states set up sixteen governor prefectures, governing 80 states, 110 counties, and 126 military prefectures. A monument was erected in Tocharo to record the matter.

Since then, the jurisdiction of the Anxi Protectorate includes the four towns of Anxi, Mengchi, Kunling Protectorate (the former place of the Western Turks), the nine surnames of Zhaowu, Tochar and even the Persian governor’s office, which are roughly equivalent to the sum of later Xinjiang, the five Central Asian countries, and Afghanistan.

Because the territory controlled by Anxi Protectorate expanded rapidly, the soldiers available to Pei Xingjian were stronger than those in Su Dawei's memory.

There were 24,000 soldiers in the Hanhai Army, Beiting Protectorate, 5,000 soldiers in the Tianshan Army, and 3,000 soldiers in the Yiwu Army.

These soldiers and horses jointly built a network of troops that the Tang Dynasty controlled Hexi.

In later history, the Beiting Protectorate was established in the second year of Chang'an, Wuzhou, and it was still decades away.

But I don’t know if Su Dawei flapped his wings.

The Tang Dynasty conquered Liaodong several years earlier than the original history.

The control over the Western Regions was also greatly enhanced.

Beiting, Kunling and other protectors were established in advance, and unified by the Anxi Daguan Pei Xingjian.

This group of town troops can be called the western legion of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, for the entire vast Hexi and Western Regions, for the vast space of hundreds of thousands of miles.

These tens of thousands of people have greater significance in deterrence.

Apart from Pei Xingjian's troops, Su Dingfang is now in Jiuquan County.

It is said that his body is still in a serious condition.

However, with him in Jiuquan, he can protect the defense line from Dunhuang, Guazhou to Jiuquan and Ganzhou, and will not be infiltrated by the Tubo people.

As for the current Wuwei County, it is Xue Li who was close to Su Dawei and had been out for many years.

"The court now named me the General of the Right Guard and the Governor of Liangzhou. The situation was critical at that time. I was ordered by the Chief General of Su Dingfang to lead the troops of Guazhou to move rapidly day and night, and finally arrived before the Tubo people broke the Wuwei."

Xue Rengui, standing in front of Su Dawei, was covered in bright light armor and his face was full of wind and frost.

The two of them were this afternoon. Su Dawei's vanguard army arrived in Wuwei County. They only met after the two sides exchanged letters.

After leaving for several years, it feels different in my heart.

At this time, in the central army's tent, Su Dawei and Xue Rengui were both wearing bright light armor, like two giant pillars supporting the Tang army.

If you want to explain the difference in detail, Su Dawei's bright light armor is even more dazzling, and the heart protection mirror on his chest is shining, spotlessly spotted.

And Xue Rengui looks much more depressed.

There were many obvious knife marks on the armor on his body and arrows.

There were even rust and blood in it.

All of this shows that the previous war was fierce and urgent, so that Xue Rengui didn't even have time to maintain his armor.

Su Qingjie, Guo Daifeng, Li Bian, Cheng Wuting, Lou Shide, Heichi Changzhi, An Wensheng and other generals were listed around.

The atmosphere in the entire military tent was calm.

As the head coach, Su Dawei and Xue Rengui didn't even have time to tell the story of their separation.

"Open the map!"

With Xue Rengui shouting, the guards around him unfolded the marching map near Wuwei County.

"etc."

An Wensheng said, "We have a more refined map in our army."

After glanced at Su Dawei, An Wensheng waved to see that he did not object.

A guard brought in the sand table he had made before.

Xue Rengui saw that his eyes lit up and praised first: "This picture is like a miniature Wuwei, it is simply a weapon in the army. This must have been thought of by Ami."

“Haha~”

Everyone laughed a few times.

Xue Rengui immediately looked dark and said, "Military information is urgent, General Manager Su, I'll explain the current situation to you."

"Please, Governor Xue."

Su Dawei clasped his fists.

Xue Rengui walked to the map, stretched out his finger, and pointed a little in Wuwei: "This is our current line of defense, but it has lost a lot of places than the original border between us and Tuyuhun."

Everyone's hearts sank when they said this.

Generals who followed Su Dawei from Chang'an, such as Guo Daifeng, Gao Chongwen, Li Bian and others, had not fought with the Tubo people yet.

It was natural that the Tang Dynasty felt invincible. The Tubo people just played with stealing chickens while the Tang Dynasty was advancing eastward.

Secretly annexed Tuyuhun.

As long as the Tang Dynasty mobilized troops to attack, the Tubo people could be killed without leaving any armor.

But now I heard Xue Rengui say that the Tang Dynasty actually lost its territory.

These are the arrogant and arrogant generals who cannot bear it.

"The King of Tuyuhun was originally in Fuqi City. Although the area was not large, he still occupied Fuqi City. Unfortunately, in the third year of Longshuo, Tubo suddenly launched a large-scale invasion and took Fuqi City down in one fell swoop.

King Tuyuhun and Princess Honghua had no choice but to escape.

They fled to Shanzhou, where they were blessed by Zheng In-tai."

Xue Rengui told the whole story of the war.

When the Tubo people annexed Tuyuhun, the Tang Dynasty did not do anything.

At least the following things have been done.

First, he sent a secret spy to make a plan to disagree within Tubo, causing some tribes of the newly attached Baima, Qiang Ling and Xiangxiong to rebel.

However, all these were quickly suppressed by Lu Dongzan.

The second thing is to help the Tuyuhun king occupy Fuqi City to demonstrate the existence of Tuyuhun and at the same time make the Tubo people lose the law of invading Tuyuhun.

The third thing is that in the name of Tian Khan, the Tubo people were ordered to stop.

Obviously, the Tubo people were inflated and did not listen.

The last fourth piece was to put a patch on Tuyuhun.

In Shanzhou, Wuwei, Liangzhou, Guazhou and other military areas, they all focused on defense and sent Zheng Rentai to commander.

Then he also sent Su Dingfang, a god of war who made great achievements and destroyed countless countries, to control the overall situation.

This arrangement is already very detailed.

But man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations.

First, Zheng In-tai died suddenly.

Then Su Dingfang was seriously ill.

These two major officials have had problems one after another, giving the Tubo people a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

In addition, the Tang Dynasty was still using troops in the direction of Goguryeo at that time, so she had no time to care about the west.

As a result, Tubo launched 400,000 troops to invade.

"Zhenzhou is lost, King Tuyuhun and Princess Honghua did not escape..."

Xue Rengui's voice became low and even a little hoarse.

His cheeks were already thin, and he had exhausted his defense for the past six months, and his cheeks were deeply sunk.

Su Dawei followed Xue Rengui's finger and looked at the map.

He is no longer Wu Xia Amon now, and he immediately sees the problem.

"Zhenzhou is Xining!"

"What Xining?"

Xue Rengui asked curiously.

"Well, I'm sorry for a moment. I mean, we originally owned Shanzhou?"

"Of course, it's been many years."

Now, not only Xue Rengui, but other generals also came over.

Su Dawei held his forehead with his hands: "Let me think about it."

Damn, I was still influenced by habits and thought that the border was similar to later generations. Gansu belonged to the Tang Dynasty and Qinghai belonged to Tuyuhun.

But unexpectedly, the Tang Dynasty always held Shanzhou.

Shanzhou is Xining City, Qinghai in later generations.

Of course, this place was not originally from Tangren.

However, during the reign of Emperor Taizong, the Tuyuhun people were not very convinced, so Li Shimin took his brothers over and beat Tuyuhun.

After that, Tuyuhun became a hardcore brother of the Tang Dynasty.

And Xining also became the Tang Dynasty.

It was equivalent to Datang stretching out a hand, taking out a knife, and pressing it against the Tuyuhun people.

From Xining to Fuqi City, Fuyuhun King City was useless.

The Tang cavalry will arrive every day.

This is a huge advantage at the strategic level.

Just like the strategic nodes occupied by later generations and A San and the Central Plains.

In minutes, the steel torrent can enter the royal city, allowing a new star of the third move to Delhi.

I just ask if you are afraid.

"The situation that Taizong worked hard to create was lost in our hands. I don't accept this tone!"

Xue Rengui punched the table next to him with a heavy punch.

A "bang" sound was made.

Xue Rengui made his mark when Emperor Taizong Li Shimin conquered Liaodong.

When Emperor Taizong returned to the court, he stroked his back with his hands on the road and said, "I didn't like to win Liaodong, but I was happy to win Xue Rengui."

This sentence is the highest brightest moment of Xue Rengui's life.

He remembers it all the time.

At this time, the situation where Emperor Taizong's hard work and planning for the Tang Dynasty was actually lost here.

This made Xue Rengui's eyes blood-red, and he felt a sense of shame and humiliation.

Su Dawei reached out and patted his shoulder twice: "If we lost Shanzhou, we would lose the intersection that opened Tuyuhun and also the base for advancement, so we were passive."

"Zhenzhou is lost, but after thinking about it, I think this is possible..."

Xue Rengui reached out and stroked gently on the map.

"From this point, we crossed mountains and leaped into Tuyuhun along the Dafei River. When we came out of the mountain, we were on the flanks of Shanzhou and Fuqi City. I expected that the Tubo people would not expect that at that time, our strange troops would attack and knock down the horse farm set up here in Tubo with one blow, and then break the Fuqi City.

Taking this opportunity to win, he surrounded the reinforcements and ate the Tubo people's reinforcements.

By this time, the subsequent reinforcements should arrive.

Our army is powerful and will be sweeping, and we will eliminate the Tubo people in one fell swoop."

Xue Rengui slashed the knife with a fierce hand.

A sharp howling sounded in the air.

"This plan is good!"

Su Qingjie nodded aside.

Li Bian even punched in his palm: "War against the Tubo people on the grassland, no one can resist under the Iron Cavalry of the Tang Dynasty. The Tubo people will regret provoking the Tang people."

Cheng Wuting pondered: "It's really good to cross Dafeichuan and advance from the flanks. You can also set up suspicious soldiers and divide them to make a horn. Even if the war is not going well, you can take down Shanzhou when you retreat. Then our subsequent reinforcements will arrive.

It is no problem to defend Shanzhou.

With Shanzhou, you can attack and retreat and defend, and the initiative is with me."

"you……"

Su Dawei was stunned for a moment: "Everyone thinks it's good to attack Tubo by Yue Dafeichuan?"

"certainly."

Su Qingjie looked at him curiously: "Does the manager think there is something wrong?"

Of course not right.

Su Dawei looked at Xue Rengui, and it was him who proposed the Dafeichuan strategy.

Is history really inertia?

Whether it is Xue Rengui in another time and space or he in this time and space, they both make the same choice.

Even all the generals felt that this strategy was right.

Then why did the Tang Dynasty lose to Tubo at that time and break the invincible golden body?

Put away these distracting thoughts and face everyone's puzzled gaze.

Su Dawei said calmly: "From the terrain and environment, it is a good choice to lose Shanzhou and attack Tuyuhun.

But, here I have a problem."

"What?"

Su Dawei pressed his hand on the map and tapped in Shanzhou: "Do you know why Zheng Rentai, the governor of Daizhou, died suddenly?"
Chapter completed!
