Huoxun is one of the countries in the Western Regions. This country is located in Central Asia. Although he had known about the news that the Tang army had entered the Western Regions for a long time, he did not send anyone to surrender.

"King, the Tang army has entered the Western Regions in a large-scale battle with the Dashi River is about to begin. Why don't we ask for surrender as soon as possible?" a minister asked in confusion.

"Please surrender? Why should I surrender?" King Huoxun is a middle-aged man in his forties. He is not tall and a little thin. He sneered disdainfully: "We are located between the two countries, so we must make good use of this convenience and get more benefits."

"King, what do you mean?" a minister asked in confusion.

"You don't think about it. Is Dashi so easy to fight?" King Huoxun sneered and said, "Dashi's territory is thousands of miles away, with a large number of people, and a strong national strength, not under the Tang Dynasty. I think if they fight, the battle will not end in a short time, and it will definitely be fought for a long time. By then, we will be even more precious. Dashi will win us over, and the Tang Dynasty will win us over. We can get along with each other and get benefits from both sides."

This mentality is the general mentality of the countries in the Western Regions. If you think that with a convenient geographical location, you can please both sides.

"The king is wise." The ministers suddenly realized and praised him loudly.

The Tang Dynasty and the Arab Empire were both two giants, powerful and far apart. If these two countries wanted to fight, they had to pass through Central Asia. Then, small countries such as Central Asia were local tyrants, and they could get along with each other and please both sides.

"King, it's not good, it's not good." As soon as the ministers' praise fell, a personal guard rushed in like flying, and shouted from afar.

"What's wrong?" King Huo Xun thought he was planning to do so, and when he heard this, he was very upset and shouted with a deep face.

"King. The Tang army has advanced westward in a large scale." The personal guard hurriedly reported.

"This is a good thing." King Huoxun raised his eyebrows and said with joy, "The Tang army must pass through our Huoxun land, so we can take the opportunity to make a fortune. I tell you that the price of the goods purchased by the Tang army increased by three... no, ten times."

He is not like a king. Instead, he is like a profiteer, who actually wants to raise prices.

"The king is wise! The Tang people have money, so it is appropriate to ask them to pay more."

"That's right! If Tangren's money is not blackmailed, then who else can be blackmailed?"

The ministers also agreed with this and said happily.

In the impression of the countries in the Western Regions, the Tang Dynasty was rich and filled with gold, and it was a paradise on earth. They thought it was natural to ask the Tang army to pay more money.

"King, King." When the confidant heard this, he almost fainted from fear and quickly reminded him: "Yang Sixu, the pioneer general of the Tang Dynasty, made a harsh statement. If the country that had not surrendered before the Tang army arrived, would be destroyed."

"Destroy the country?" When King Huoxun heard this, he couldn't help but be amused and said disdainfully: "Does he dare? He doesn't think about how many countries there are in the Western Regions? If he dares to destroy our country, it will be cold and other countries will resist, and they will not dare to borrow ten leopard courage."

"That's right." The ministers agreed loudly.

Not only is the Western Regions very small, but the kings have not yet seen it. The kings of some countries are no different from gangsters and gangsters. This King of Fire Search is such a person.

"King, that Yang Sixu is a ruthless man." The guard hurriedly reminded: "He dares to massacre the city, but why are he afraid of destroying the country? He once massacred the city in Tianzhu, and anyone who is more than three feet tall is killed."

"Massacre of the city?" King Huo Xun's face changed, a little ugly.

The Tang Dynasty has been in charge of the Western Regions for many years, but I have never heard of any Tang general who dared to massacre the city. For a ruthless person like Yang Sixu who dared to massacre the city, King Huoxun was really a little scared.

"Report to the king, the Tang army has arrived at the city." At this moment, another personal guard came in to report.

"Have you arrived at the city?" King Huoxun's expression disappeared, his head was covered in cold sweat, his face was pale, and he was very scared.

Originally, he had a lot of plans and could get along with others and please both sides, but he didn't expect that he would meet Yang Sixu, a ruthless man who dared to massacre the city. Now, the Tang army has arrived at the city and has not surrendered yet. Does the Tang army really want to destroy the country?

"Hurry! Prepare a generous gift and go to welcome the Tang army." King Huoxun did not dare to make any wrong ideas, so he had to go to welcome him.

The ministers didn't dare to say much, and were busy preparing and giving a generous gift, and rushed outside the city to welcome the Tang army.

When King Huoxun arrived at the city, the Tang army had already arrived and was lined up outside the city.

"Welcome the Tang army." King Huo Xun bowed to ninety degrees and said carefully.

The spirit of the palace has long disappeared, but now it is like a hang-in dog.

"You are the King of Fire Xun?" Yang Sixu rode a tall horse and rode his horse with a sharp and sharp voice.

"That's right." King Huoxun was already frightened and uneasy. After hearing Yang Sixu's harsh voice, his heart was almost scared and pounding.

"I have already sent an order to the Western Regions to surrender early, do you know?" Yang Sixu asked coldly.

The tone was not high, and it was heard in the ears of King Huo Xun, as cold as it came from the underworld of Jiuyou. He shivered and knelt on the ground with a loud bang. He didn't dare to leave, and he could speak.

"Speak." Yang Sixu said coldly.

"I know, I know." King Huo Xun shivered and did not dare to lie, so he had to tell the truth.

"Since you know, why don't you surrender soon?" A cold smile flashed across Yang Sixu's lips and said, "Are you trying to be good at both sides and please them?"

"Yes, yes." King Huo Xun was covered in sieve, and he didn't even have the courage to lie.

"That's good." Yang Sixu nodded.

"Huh." King Huo Xun let out a long sigh, thinking that it was nothing, and this matter was over.

However, he had not finished his breath yet, and only heard Yang Sixu say coldly: "Destroy the country!"

"Destroy the Kingdom?" King Huo Xun was stunned on the spot, his eyes straightened, like wooden stakes.

This Yang Sixu is really true. Since he wants to destroy the country, he still says "that's good". Isn't this a misunderstanding?

In fact, Yang Sixu meant that he could naturally destroy the Huoxun Kingdom. But Huoxun King was self-indulgent and thought about it wrongly.

"General, you can't destroy the country."

"Yes. Yes. If you destroy Huoxun Kingdom, you won't be afraid that other countries will be disappointed and will be enemies of the Tang Dynasty?"

The minister was calm and was very busy reminding him.

"I'm so sad!" Yang Sixu smiled coldly and said, "I have already ordered all countries. Anyone who has not surrendered at that time will be punished! If the fire is not extinguished and the country is found, how can I implement the order of my general?"

Yang Sixu had already spoken. If he did not kill the fire and search the country, he would not be able to make the words come true. He would not be afraid of the Western Regions, and it would be inevitable that the fire and search the country would be extinguished.

"Besides, just a small country like you want to make a big difference?" Yang Sixu was extremely disdainful and said sarcastically: "Your Huoxue Country is not as big as a county in the Tang Dynasty, nor is there a large number of people in the Tang Dynasty. Even if you want to be enemies with the Tang Dynasty, what can you do to the Tang Dynasty? To put out the fire and search for the country. The Tang Dynasty only needs five hundred soldiers, which is enough!"

The countries in the Western Regions are too small. Each country will not have too much land. As for the population, it is even smaller. The land of Huoxun Country is not as large as a county in the Tang Dynasty, and the population is not as large as a town in the Tang Dynasty. Not to mention the excellent equipment, it is a luxury for them.

It is such a weak and explosive small country that is not qualified to be an enemy of the Tang Dynasty.

If the Tang Dynasty wanted to destroy such a small country, an army of 500 people would be enough to destroy the previous ten or eight chapters.

"After extinguishing the Fire Search, I will spread your head throughout the Western Regions. I want to see who dares to speak out for you." Yang Sixu said coldly.

With a wave of his right hand, a Tang soldier stepped forward, raised his sword and fell, and the head of King Huoxun rolled to the ground.

With an order from Yang Sixu, five hundred Tang troops rushed into the city, started a massacre, and slaughtered Huoxun Kingdom.

The capital of Huoxun Kingdom is really not good. It is said that this is the capital, but it is highly regarded by Huoxun Kingdom. It is like a village, very simple and has a small population. It is too easy for the Tang army to massacre and destroy it.

"Spread his head throughout the Western Regions." Yang Sixu glanced at King Huo Xun's head, and didn't even look at the direct eyes.

The Tang army soldiers immediately followed suit.

When the news of the destruction of Huoxun Kingdom spread, the countries in the Western Regions were frightened and asked to surrender one after another, and they would never dare to take a chance.

Especially after the arrival of King Huo Xun's head, the kings of the Western Regions even secretly praised him for seeing the opportunity quickly, otherwise he would become the second King Huo Xun.

In this way, the 100,000 vanguard army led by Yang Sixu swept through the Western Regions with the momentum of the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.

The countries in the Western Regions were too small and weak. No matter whether they surrender or resist, they could not stop the Tang army from advancing. Yang Sixu's advancement would not be possible either quickly.

Half a month later, the Tang army arrived in Talas.

The specific location of Talas has not been determined yet, and there is still controversy in the historical community. However, the general location can be determined, it is at the junction of Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, approximately close to Taraz in Kazakhstan.

Historically, a great war broke out between the Tang Dynasty and the Arab Empire here. This battle was a great collision between the two most powerful empires in the East and the West at that time, and ended with the failure of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, Talas was the Tang Dynasty and the farthest place in the ancient Chinese world, the place where the Tang Dynasty failed, and the ancient China failed.

At that time, the Tang Dynasty and the Arab Empire fought in Central Asia for decades, and the battle was bloody and corpses were piled up like mountains, with each winning and losing. Why did such a war break out in Talas?

This has to start with the geographical location of Talas, because Talas is the gateway to Samarkand. If the Tang Dynasty conquered, the Tang army could march straight into Samarkand.

Samarkand is a rich place with abundant resources. If the Tang Dynasty took it down, it would be a huge threat to the Arab Empire. First, because the Tang Dynasty obtained a favorable strategic offensive base, it was tantamount to aiming the sword at the heart of the Arab Empire. Second, after obtaining Samarkand, the Tang Dynasty would have to garrison in the Western Regions because it was difficult to raise food and grass and would be broken. The Tang Dynasty could send a large number of troops into the Western Regions, and the Arab Empire would be unable to resist.

It is precisely from these aspects that the Arab Empire mobilized heavy troops to block the Tang army in Henglus.
