The story of Li Hao, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, spread throughout the Tang Dynasty and also made the entire Tang Dynasty boil.

But at Loulan Pass, there was no news about the birth of the Tang Dynasty prince.

Because of the army in Loulan Pass.

Already set off.

The Tang Dynasty's army was 500,000, plus 100,000 Eastern Expedition Army, a total of 600,000 troops!

The Great Zhou army totaled 200,000!

The 800,000 coalition forces of the two countries drove towards the Western Regions.

The borders of the Western Regions originally refused to let the Tang army enter.

Because Li Xuan was not the lord of the entire Western Regions after all, Li Xuan would not have allowed the tribes of the Western Regions to open the city gates in vain and magnify the Tang army into the Western Regions.

However, the oppression of the 800,000 army is no joke...

The Tang Dynasty drove the army over. Even if the border of the Western Regions did not want to open the city gate, under pressure, they could only submit, open the city gate, and let the Tang army over.

When Han Yu faced these Western Region cities, he was not polite. He directly sent troops to take over everything when he entered the city.

They pulled the front line open, and the cities along the way must fall into their control, otherwise their supply line will be very dangerous and even at the risk of being disconnected.

As the commander of the three armies and a famous general of a generation, Han Yu certainly could not make such a low-level mistake.

The cities in the Western Regions where the Tang army drove by will be taken down.

Most of the Western Region cities, when they saw 800,000 Tang troops coming, surrendered directly, and a small number of them were unwilling to surrender. Those who were unwilling to surrender could not last long under the Tang Dynasty's military front.

In just a few days, there were as many as fifteen cities in the Western Regions that fell into the Tang Empire.

These fifteen Western Region cities are all linked to the Tang Dynasty.

First, it is to facilitate the supply line.

Secondly, I naturally don’t want to return these fifteen cities to the Western Regions in the future, linking the Tang Dynasty, and no matter what, I can swallow it.

On a forested avenue within the Western Regions.

The army slowly advances.

Bright red Tang military flags are flying.

Among the red Tang military flags, there are also many black Zhou military flags mixed with.

In the Central Military Office.

Han Yu was wearing military uniform and riding a dark horse.

Behind him was Pang Yuan riding a yellow horse.

The two of them were chatting while riding horses.

"It seems that General Han wants these fifteen cities."

Pang Yuan said with a smile.

Han Yu held the reins in his hand, turned his head and smiled, saying, "How can I say I want these fifteen cities? My Tang Empire is a country of etiquette and cannot seize the cities of other countries for no reason. These fifteen cities are really needed by our army, so I borrowed them for use."

borrow?

Pang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud and said, "What a borrower! What a borrower! I'm borrowing it. I don't know when I will return it to the Western Regions. General Han is so brave! But isn't General Han afraid of any conflicts in the Western Regions and affecting the battle between our Tang Dynasty and Gu Luo?"

Of course he could see it.

Han Yu wanted to borrow but not return it.

I borrowed it from the Western Regions, and whether it was the Tang Dynasty who decided to repay it or not.

Anyway, the Tang Empire is powerful and the Western Regions suffer losses. What can I do? There is no way to deal with the Tang Empire at all.

I could only swallow this bitter fruit silently.

When Han Yu faced Pang Yuan's question, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Impact the situation of our war? If we dare to make any moves in the Western Regions, we will lead our army to retreat and let the Western Regions resist Guluo. Whether it is war or surrender in the Western Regions, it will no longer exist. I wish they would not have the courage to oppose our Tang Dynasty."

When Pang Yuan heard this, he could only feel funny.

It seems that General Han has already plotted against the Western Regions to a close scheming.

This saved him some of his words.

In fact, even if Han Yu didn't plan to plot against the Western Regions, he would propose to plot against the Western Regions.

Originally, his plan was to ask for about twenty cities in the Western Regions.

There are only fifteen now.

It's cheaper than the Western Regions.

The two continued to talk about the war.

The army stopped when we approached a Western Region city.

Some scouts sent back messages.

There was an army of thousands of people in the Western Region city ahead, asking Han Yu whether he wanted to attack the city directly.

Han Yu originally thought that this Western Region city also wanted to resist their army's advance, but he was about to wave his hand and let the vanguard army destroy this army.

The scout's words made him stop and destroy the army at will.

The scout reported...

Among this army of thousands of people, some people were holding the military flag of the Tang Dynasty.

"Tang Army Flag?"

Han Yu thought for a while and realized that these people were probably Li Xuan's troops.

He and Li Xuan had previously passed letters.

When the two sides met, they took the Tang army flag as their rank.

only……

Li Xuan's power was contacted so quickly?

Probably not.

It is estimated that the people in the Western Regions were afraid that the Tang Dynasty would continue to occupy the cities in the Western Regions, so they invited Li Xuan out to stop the Tang Dynasty from further "borrowing cities".

Tsk tsk.

Han Yu turned his head and looked at Pang Yuan. Both of them nodded, and they both understood the meaning.

Han Yu responded quickly.

He personally took a cavalry of the Eastern Expedition Army to meet Li Xuan, and the rest of the army was led by Pang Yuan.

...

Han Yu brought thousands of cavalry to the outside of the Western Regions city ‘Shangkou City’.

When I saw the army holding bright red military flags not far from the city.

Seeing the army's appearance, Han Yu shook his head and smiled, pulled the reins, and ran forward.

The army under the city saw Han Yu's cavalry coming, and hurriedly moved forward.

It seems to be trying to express that he has no malice and that there is no ambush nearby.

The distance between the two armies is constantly getting closer.

After a while, the two armies met in the middle of the battlefield.

Compared to the soldiers on Li Xuan's side, they were very cautious and extremely vigilant.

The cavalry of the Eastern Expedition Army seemed very relaxed, standing there openly, as if he didn't take the other party seriously at all.

This is no wonder the cavalry of the Eastern Expedition Army.

Both sides have the same number.

The soldiers of the Eastern Expedition Army, especially the Iron Cavalry, do have the capital to look down on others.

Especially the Iron Cavalry of the Eastern Expedition Army, which had three horse harnesses, was even more powerful.

It would be normal not to take ordinary enemy soldiers seriously.

The leaders and generals of both sides are meeting.

The leader of the other party was Li Xuan.

The moment Li Xuan saw Han Yu, he turned over and dismounted and said respectfully: "I have long admired General Han's name! I have wanted to meet General Han for a long time, but I have never had a chance. When I saw him today, I really realized my dream!"

It's quite strong to flatter.
