The environment between the Western Regions and the grasslands is in sharp contrast, and the grasslands are more vibrant.

In the Western Regions, more yellow sand is the disadvantage of this. The army along the way has many dusts and no possibility of covering up at all.

Fortunately, in the face of this matter, neither Li Chengqian nor Zhang Liang cared about it.

"Finally thrown away!"

Even Li Chengqian was very happy because he made his decision, and the third brother's words were thrown away.

After all, when Li Ke said that when he faced Li Chengqian's departure, he could only show helplessness in his expression.

Because of the previous competition, his soldiers had reached their limits. Li Ke was still a little rational after all, and did not care about these soldiers.

Because of this incident, Li Chengqian was extremely happy and had already started to fantasize about the scene of taking down King Gaochang.

There was no obstacle along the way. Although some small yellow sand towns occasionally appeared in front of them, these small towns did not resist at all.

This further encouraged Li Chengqian's momentum. Zhang Liang felt that it was a little too smooth. Gaochang should have many soldiers, but he didn't think much about it.

Zhang Liang finally did not raise any warning about Gao Chang's words.

Because of the rush, Li Chengqian's army quickly arrived under the Gaochang Royal City, but it was different from other small cities.

That is, the gate of Gaochang Royal City is closed and there is no sign of the intention of surrendering again.

Qu Zhisheng's eyes were falling on the Tang army above the royal city, and a hint of envy appeared in his eyes.

Of course, he envied not the powerful soldiers of the Tang army, but the armor on the soldiers.

You should know that Gaochang is very poor, and many armors are already very worn.

However, soon Qu Zhisheng couldn't help but look firm in his eyes. He believed that as long as Gao Chang did not perish, he would definitely rise again.

If he is used to high positions, no one is willing to surrender to others. If Gaochang is destroyed, then he, the future king of Gaochang, will be destined to be useless.

Although cooperation with Tubo will lose a certain degree of autonomy, the main rights are still in your own hands.

"Appoint to encircle and eliminate this Tang army!"

Soon Qu Zhisheng's thoughts stopped quickly, but instead spoke to the guards beside him.

After waiting for so long, he even gave up most of Gaochang's land. With the newly recruited recruits, more than 50,000 were added.

It can be said that Qu Zhisheng had no reason to fail in this battle. Seeing that the Tang army seemed to realize that Gaochang Royal City was not that easy to chew and was preparing to camp.

Qu Zhisheng couldn't let him rest well. If the Tang soldiers recovered, this battle would be difficult to fight.

.........

Although Li Chengqian and Zhang Liang on the other side suffered some obstacles in the royal city, their faces were a little bad.

But in the end, it wasn't that stupid, and the tired soldiers were allowed to attack the city. Anyway, there was still a lot of time now.

So I let Gaochang go for the time being, but some people don’t want to let them go.

The smoke and dust in the sky flew up in the distance, not just one place, but from all directions, which attracted the attention of Li Chengqian and others at once.

"Is there something wrong?!"

Li Chengqian frowned slightly and said, with a hint of doubt in his words.

Zhang Liang on the other side also frowned, and seemed to feel a little uneasy inside, but he soon remembered something.

"not good!"

"We are surrounded by Gaochang's army!"

After all, Zhang Liang had some experience and immediately made his own judgment, but his words made Li Chengqian stunned, and then he showed a hint of anger.

It seemed that Gao Chang dared to fight back, but for a while, Li Chengqian didn't know what to do.

"Your Highness, look at the dusty appearance, there are at least 40,000 to 50,000 Gaochang soldiers."

Zhang Liang was already a little afraid and quickly spoke out, and he obviously lacked confidence in his words.

You should know that this is three times more troops, and Zhang Liang was naturally afraid in the face of such a situation.

Li Chengqian's expression was already a little distorted, and he also began to feel helpless.

"What should I do?"

Li Chengqian had to ask Zhang Liang anxiously for his words.

"Your Highness, in Yi Liang's opinion, it's best to retreat at the moment!"

Zhang Liang looked at Yan Chen getting closer and closer and answered immediately, and he was also worried.

If he had led his troops, Zhang Liang would have already escaped, but now, with the prince by his side, even Zhang Liang could only stay for more.

However, he still cherishes his life very much, and Li Chengqian also woke up at this time and was confused by Gao Chang's appearance before.

"withdraw!"

Li Chengqian finally gritted his teeth and said, as long as he could save enough troops, the outcome was unknown.

...........

Chang'an

Although there were few princes, Chang'an was still not affected much if it was the imperial court.

After all, if the prince does not ascend to the throne for a day, he will be destined to have no impact on the government.

Of course, both Li Shimin and many court officials were still paying attention to the news coming from Gaochang.

Because this struggle between princes is not only a struggle between many princes, but also the key to the decision of many court officials in the future.

Although some ministers placed bets early, more ministers still had no choice but to wait for the result.

However, these ministers received the news quickly, which was definitely not as fast as Li Shimin.

As before, Li Shimin was still reviewing memorials in the imperial study room, but Li Junxian was in a serious face and hurried in.

"Your Majesty, something happened in Xichang!"

There was no ritual or anything like that. Li Junxian's voice rang out quickly, with a hint of anxiety in his words.

Li Shimin frowned at first, but after hearing the words, his face couldn't help but show a serious look.

"What happened?!"

Li Shimin's low voice sounded, and his words forced himself to calm down.

"The prince was caught in Gaochang's plan, and his army was almost wiped out."

Li Junxian said without hesitation, saying, "If you know that this matter is a big deal, he dared not delay it after receiving the news."

"What?!"

"Nothing happened to Gao Ming?!!"

After exclaiming, Li Shimin immediately asked.

After all, it was his own son. The emperor's first reaction was that he cared about his son.

"The prince said nothing happened and escaped."

Li Junxian also hurriedly said that this matter is worthy of hundreds of chasers, but now is not the time to worry about this matter.

"Speak this from beginning to end."

After knowing that his son was fine, Li Shimin's expression also eased a lot, but it was still not good-looking.
