When he got off the horse's back, Shen Guang's face twitched. He could ride a horse and even played riding and shooting on the racetrack. However, whether riding is good or not is different from long-distance riding and marching.

In just three days, Chen Guang's thighs were worn out to the point of being unsatisfactory, and he felt like he was lame when he walked.

Gao Xianzhi looked at Chen Guang who was holding back the pain and couldn't help laughing, "Don't have to hold on, Chen Lang should take a bus?" He was not as strong as Chen Guang when he first went on a war with the army.

In the team, there were cars and ten beautiful dancers who were sent by King Khotan to Gao Xianzhi by the King of Khotan were riding on the bus. When he heard Gao Xianzhi's words, several of his subordinates all cast envious eyes at Chen Guang.

All the ten dancers were only about 28 years old, with bright eyes and white teeth, beautiful and charming, weak waists and bonelessness. When dancing, they seemed to be weak willows and danced like water snakes, but they were envious.

This Shen Langjun has an outstanding appearance. If he gets on the bus, I am afraid that those bold and bold dancers will take the initiative to show their love. The guardian has always been generous and generous, and he loves the beauty of adulthood. It is not just money, but rewards it when you say you want! Even a beauty, he also gives it when you say you want!

"Thank you, Protector, but I can still hold on. Besides, I am afraid of difficulties and ride a car today. Protector will go to the quest for the ten thousand miles of the world in the future. How should I follow me?"

Seeing Chen Guang declined, Gao Xianzhi was extremely happy. He did not see the wrong person. Chen Lang seemed weak but actually had a strong personality. He asked him to look proudly at the awkward-looking aides. He won the bet.

After walking down the ground, he got used to the pain and looked around. This was a big oasis. The meadows extending nearby were probably several miles in size. He could even see animals vaguely visible in the grass in the distance.

The lake water was clear, and the soldiers led their horses to feed the water. This was the first time Chen Guang had been sleeping in the wilderness since he set out with the team. Before, there were stations for them to rest and provide transfer horses every forty or fifty miles along the way.

From the mouths of the fang soldiers, Chen Guang knew that within the scope of the four towns of Anxi, from the Governor's Office to the Guardians and the Guardians and the Fortresses, the military fortresses and garrisons built by the Tang Dynasty and the numerous post stations were like Zhang Juwang that included the entire Anxi. The Anxi Army could obtain sufficient supplies at any time when fighting in the territory.

This also prevents Tubo from directly seizing the Western Regions. If they mobilize large troops, they cannot conceal their whereabouts. A small group of troops crossed the mountains and entered the Western Regions. Except for taking advantage of the garrison Anxi Army's response to the garrison's inability to loot the local villages, if they dare to stay for a while, they don't have to want to go back alive.

"The military fort needs to be built here."

Gao Xianzhi said to his aides around him that he is now the deputy archer of Anxi, and his power is much greater than the original archer of the Khotan archer. The beacon towers and military forts in Anxi were established by the past archer and archer of the four Anxi towns after personally inspecting the terrain in their jurisdiction.

Over the past hundred years, with geographical changes, many military forts and beacon towers were abandoned and built, while the ambitious Gao Xianzhi planned to set up military forts in every oasis and then tax the damn Sogdian merchants.

"Chen Lang, look at this oasis. The lake is about a small size and the nearby meadows are wide. It is a good place to herd horses and raise soldiers."

The staff member next to Gao Xianzhi outlined and gestured on the parchment paper. Chen Guang looked around for a while and realized that he was mapping the map, but Chen Guang really couldn't understand what was drawn on it.

"It is indeed a good place to build a military fort here."

Chen Guang couldn't express any opinions. Although he was thinking about contours and scales, as well as battalions, etc. at this time, he was very likely to pull the ball when he stepped too much. He was a newbie under Gao Xianzhi's command, and being too outspoken was not a good thing to be envied by others.

What's more, in the border towns, he always has to speak with his fists. He has no achievements now, and saying too much will only make people laugh.

On the edge of the lake, the soldiers began to set up camps. Gao Xianzhi ordered his guards to take the bows and arrows. He wanted to take Chen Guang to hunt nearby meadows, but seeing Chen Guang's way of walking was staggering, he had to give up.

"What's the matter with this bell?"

"This is an iron horse, and it can be used to show a warning."

In the camp, Chen Guang chatted with the soldiers from time to time. He was once a fan of ancient warfare, but he still felt that it was shallow on paper. Now that he could see how the real camp was stationed, he would naturally not miss any details.

The territory under the Anxi Protectorate was too vast. Even the elite soldiers like Gao Xianzhi were not afraid to be careless when camping in the wild, especially in the beginning of spring, when those nomadic tribes were at the poorest time. After the winter, even the baggage team escorted by the army dared to attack.

"It's okay to have a place near a city, but in this wilderness, when you get on a horse, you're a thief and get off a horse, you're a civilian. How can you tell me that clearly?"

Outside the camp, Wang Shenyuan led the fang soldiers to place the horses. Chen Guang did not expect that even with the Anxi Protectorate, the Western Regions would still be a chaotic place. "Does the Great...the Court...the Protectorate?"

"Langjun, how can I control it?"

Wang Shenyuan sighed. Hexi Longyou defeated the Tubo people in Hexi and could be peaceful for more than ten or twenty years. However, here in Anxi, there were less than 30,000 troops in four towns, but the area under its jurisdiction was far better than that of Longyou Hexi. There were many small countries. The tribes on the former land of the Western Turks were cut out like weeds, and they emerged one after another. In addition, the Tubo who planned the Western Regions and the aggressive food in the river, it would be a blessing to be peaceful for two or three years.

"The west of Jixi is far away from the Tang Dynasty, and it is difficult to transfer food. Only Kucha is the safest country in the four towns."

Beside Chen Guang, a judge Chen said that he was an old man under Gao Xianzhi's tent. He stayed in the custody of Yutian for three years. This time, Gao Xianzhi was promoted to the deputy chief magistrate of Anxi. After receiving Gao Xianzhi's recommendation, he could return to Chang'an to seek a small official position in six ministries, so he was not as hostile to Chen Guang as his other colleagues.

"Judge Chen, can the Anxi Protectorate can only raise 30,000 soldiers, and no matter how many more, you can't raise them?"

Chen Guang asked, walking in the territory of the Kingdom of Khotan three days ago. He observed all the way and found that the climate was humid and there were fertile fields and pastures in places with cities. If he was good at managing it, the grain output and the number of livestock should be quite large.

"It's not that I can't raise it, but the court doesn't want to raise it too much."

When Judge Chen saw Chen Guang's youthful spirit and had a sharp temper, he felt that this young man might be able to do something else in the future, so he would rather have a good relationship. So he told Chen Guang about the reasons for his inner life. It turned out that the Western Turks and Tuqishi were defeated one after another, and there were no major enemies in Anxi. The four towns of soldiers were just to prevent Tubo from invading the Western Regions to obtain population and wealth.

"Today's saints value border merit, with small countries in the west of Jixi and numerous tribes. They are the place where border generals use their skills, but the lords in the court may not be happy..."

Chen Guang knew that the Jixinai mentioned by Judge Chen was the name of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty at this time. According to the news that he had heard from the fang soldiers, Tubo was the main concern of the Tang Dynasty, especially Longyou, Hexi. The battle was the most tragic. During the Kaiyuan period, the battle was fought several times with more than 100,000 troops.

Anxi is a small country. No matter how rich the Hezhong is, the benefits that the Tang Dynasty can obtain are limited. On the contrary, the labor force is on the expedition, which is very expensive. That is, today's saints are trying to expand the border and expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty during the Emperor. But for the prime ministers in the court, it is more than ten thousand miles to go to Chang'an in the Western Regions and Hezhong. Although there is a policy of military farming, Longyou, Hexi needs to immigrate to take advantage of the border to protect Tubo.

After Chen Guang understood what Chen Zheng Guan said, he was silent for a moment. No wonder after the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty was no longer able to control the Western Regions. In addition to Tubo seizing Longyou, Hexi and cutting off the connection between the Tang Dynasty and Anxi, it was also an Anxi land. The foundation laid by the Tang Dynasty was not deep enough.

Seeing Chen Guang's thoughtful look, Judge Chen couldn't help laughing. This Chen Langjun was very interesting. When he was just talking, the young man actually gave him an illusion that he seemed to be able to solve the problem of the ancient population of the Anxi Protectorate.

After a long time, Chen Guang woke up from his dispersed thoughts and smiled at Judge Chen and the surrounding soldiers, "Judge Chen, this Jixi is indeed thousands of miles away, but the mountains and rivers are magnificent. Since the former Han Dynasty, it has been the homeland of the Han family. Now in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the Anxi Protectorate House has overwhelmed the nations. Later generations will praise your great martial arts."

The soldiers from the Tang Dynasty were from all walks of life, far away from their hometowns, and were in Anxi for several years. They were homesick, but Chen Guang's words diluted a little sadness, but instead they felt a little bold and said, "Your husband said it well!"

"What did Chen Lang say?"
