Sixth year of innovation, June.

To the north of Hengshan Mountain, a vast army is crossing the desert.

The Benxi Qiang tribe, who was close to the desert, was extremely frightened to see the yellow sand that was pedaling as the troops marched. For the Benxi Qiang tribe, the entire tribe was only 20,000 households. Now they were just seeking survival between the Tuyuhun tribe and the Tubo tribe, tribute cattle and sheep to them every year to exchange for the tribe's right to survive.

For such a weak tribe, facing the army that cannot see the end of the way, there is no intention of resisting.

The people of the Western Qiang had long sent envoys to lie on the road and presented the most beautiful woman in their clan, the purest water, and half of the cattle and sheep of the tribe to welcome the arrival of the large army and horses. However, after the army resisted, they did not pay any attention to the tribute from the Western Qiang people, but instead gave the people of the Western Qiang people 100 taels of gold.

The people of the Western Qiang knew about it, and they looked down on the little sacrifices of their clan.

After crossing the desert, the army camped at the foot of Hengshan Mountain.

As the general of the Northern Army, Wang Junkuo is now in control of heavy troops.

Liang Shidu, Zhang Changxun, Yuan Junzhang and other Zhao army generals have arrived as vanguards, as well as the troops of the Dangxiang Qiang and Jihu tribes, plus the main cavalry of the Xi tribes he brought from Mobei, Tuli, 30,000 Turkic cavalry who held the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power of the power

The troops of the northern army of Zhao State were nearly 200,000, which was almost equivalent to the total number of troops in Li Tang. This is what Fang Xuanling said to Li Shimin the most feared point, which is the crushing of national strength. The country of Qiancheng is in front of the country of Wancheng. There is no possibility of a turnaround.

"The patriarchs of the Benxi Qiang and Bailan Qiang were all outside, and they informed us of a very important news. The Li Tang and Tubo alliance were joined by Tubo. The Tubo king Langrisongzan was talented and had a great victory in the country with 50,000 soldiers. Now we send generals to the Heyuan area (note 1)."

"In addition, Duan Decao also refused to surrender. In addition, Chai Shao, Yang Shidao, and Yang Gongren also led the Tang army to set up a formation along Hexi, waiting for the battle."

Wang Junguo heard this and touched his beard, saying, "I thought I could take Hexi without any effort, but it seems that I still have to make trouble. No wonder His Majesty asked the Protector to lead his army here in advance. Since that's the case, it would be fine. Where are the Western Turks, Tuyuhun, Gaochang, and their king Khan?"

Liang Shidu said: "The Khan Fu Yun of Tuyuhun tribe has arrived! The King of Gaochang State Qu Wentai is also outside the tent! The Khan of the Turkic regimen, Ye Hu, has not arrived yet."

"Okay. Don't see the clan leader of the Xiqiang and Bailanqiang. Those who are late don't wait. Let those who are waiting outside the tent come in first!" Wang Junguo said.

Soon, Fu Yun, the Khan of Tuyuhun tribe and Qu Wentai, the lord of Gaochang, both arrived. Fu Yun's surname was Murong, and the Tuyuhun tribe intermarried with the Great Sui Dynasty for generations. The tribe had city walls but did not live in the sky, and always lived in the dome, followed the water and grass and animal husbandry. In the Western Regions, the Tuyuhun tribe was a great country, with three thousand miles east and west. More than a thousand miles north and south, and the domestic officials were established like the Sui system, with the titles of kings, dukes, servants, courtesans, and generals.

Gaochang State is a major country in the Western Regions and has always been the center of the Western Regions. Its country worships Buddhism, and the people live in mixed Han and Hu people. Over time, the Han people become Hu and Hu people become Chinese, and evolve into unique folk customs.

And Murong Fuyun and Qu Wentai are both famous figures in the Western Regions. Everyone knows them, and everyone knows them. But now, these two people with the identities of the lord of the country will worship Wang Junkuo as soon as they enter the tent, and they dare not regard themselves as the lord of the country Khan.

Murong Fuyun said first: "I heard that Dadu protects the Tang Dynasty, and my Tuyuhun tribe offered three thousand good horses in Qinghai to help the military fund. I hope Dadu protects the flag and wins!"

Qu Wentai said on the side, "I have also heard that Dadu protects the Tang Dynasty, and specially donated 300 dans of white salt, 300 dans of red salt, and 300 stacked cloth to congratulate Dadu protecting horses for success!"

Murong Fuyun and Qu Wentai both speak Chinese well because they both have a Han wife. Murong Fuyun's wife is Princess Guanghua, and Qu Wentai's wife Princess Huarong, both of whom are daughters of the royal family of the Sui Dynasty. In order to manage the Western Regions, the Sui emperor adopted a marriage strategy and married the royal princess to these two, so they are both proficient in Chinese.

Wang Junkuo heard the two of them say, "I don't want you to send you money, food, and horses. We are all very enough. Now Tubo Zanpu and Li Tang have joined forces to station a large army in Heyuan. Do you think you want to destroy them for us?"

Murong Fuyun and Qu Wentai all showed hesitation when they heard this.

Master Liang asked very unhappily: "What do you think about Dadu Protector? Are you willing or not? He hesitant, or not?"

Murong Fuyun lowered his head and said, "The Great Protector has a life, so we naturally have to comply. However, the Tubo country has a strong national strength, and it is probably difficult to compete with our two forces. I would like to ask the Great Protector to call on the Great Protector and to mobilize the Khan of Ye Hu. As long as he is willing to nod and attack Tubo, we are willing to obey."

"Tongye Hu Khan?" Wang Junguo sneered, "Can Tongye Hu Khan be as good as Jie Li Khan? I heard that last year, the Tang army general Chai Shao only brought 10,000 troops and traversed the Western Turks, and there was no one to stop him. In my opinion, it was just like this."

Qu Wentai said: "The Great Protectors don't know that Chai Shao is a famous general of the Tang army, but the Western Turks are not that weak either. When Chai Shao invaded, Khan Tongye Hu was leading the tribes of the ten surnames and the Western Regions minions, and with his allies from the west, attacking Persia together, so Chai Shao took advantage of the opportunity. If he really fought, Khan Tongye Hu would not be afraid of Chai Shao."

Qu Wentai is telling the truth. At that time, the Khan of Tongye Hu was attacking Persia, which is the Sassanid dynasty in history. The Sassanid dynasty regarded the Zoroastrian religion as the state religion. Many people in the Western Regions believed in the Zoroastrian religion, so they were very influential in the Western Regions.

But this caused unhappiness among the Western Turks.

Therefore, it was with the help of Tongyehu Khan that Emperor Hiraclio, the hero of the Eastern Roman Empire, achieved a decisive victory in the Battle of Nineveh, a key battle against the Sassanid Dynasty. When Chai Shao invaded, Tongyehu Khan was joining the alliance with Emperor Hiraclio at the city of Tbilisi.

As a result, when Tongye Hu Khan heard that Chai Shao had arrived in the country, he hurriedly led his army back from Tbilisi City, which made Emperor Chiraclio and the generals of the Eastern Roman Empire laughed at him.

Now Murong Fuyun and Qu Wentai proposed to attack Tubo, Wang Junkuo heard the reason and said, "It seems that Tongye Hu Khan has some skills, but you don't know yet! Tongye Hu Khan has already praised my great Zhao!"

Murong Fuyun and Qu Wentai were surprised when they heard this. The Western Turkic Khan was not a glorious thing in his eyes when he was the Khan of Ye Hu, so he did not tell these servants of the Western Regions.

At the moment, Murong Fuyun and Qu Wentai were shocked when they heard this.

"Have the Western Turkic Khan not arrived yet?" Wang Junguo asked unhappily.

Zhang Changxun, the general outside the tent, said: "Report to the Great Protector, the Khan of the Tongye Hu had just arrived. He said he had delayed on the road and would like to apologize to the Great Protector later!"

Wang Jungua nodded and said, "I understand!" After that, Wang Jungua looked at Murong Fuyun and Qu Wentai at a glance. Both of them stopped talking.
