Strategically, we unite Buddhists to fight against the Green Church and thus shoulder the important task of saving the Western Regions.

That's right, the excuse used by the Tang Dynasty to return to the Western Regions was to save the Western Regions and fight against the Green Sect.

As for the expenses in the Western Regions and various military troops, they have actually been arranged properly and just follow the steps. The court issued more than one million stakes of food, grass and equipment.

When dealing with the Western Regions, the most important troops were transferred from Longyou Prefecture to Xiliang Prefecture.

The desert in the early morning was slightly cold, and at this time, it happened to be the most energetic time in the desert. A large number of animals came out to lick the dew and replenish the moisture.

Li Jilong was covered in yellow sand. He couldn't help but jump a few times, shook his head, patted off the sand on his body, and gently patted the camels who surrounded the city immediately woke up and stood up in high spirits.

Even after coming to Liangzhou for many days, Li Jilong still found it difficult to get used to such desert weather. Fortunately, Liangzhou has abundant soil and enough farmland, otherwise it would be really difficult.

Their team of more than 100 people set off again.

Soon, they arrived at a sand dune, where there were already hundreds of caravans, waiting for a long time.

"Is it the Tang army from Liangzhou?"

The leader of the caravan asked.

"That's right!" Li Jilong nodded, looked at the dusty caravan in front of him, and couldn't help but frown and said, "You are from Shazhou, why are you so many people?"

"The road is not peaceful, and it is already good that many sand bandits can come here."

The businessman smiled bitterly.

Li Jilong nodded and then took them to Liangzhou City.

The caravan that was accepted this time was naturally extraordinary. It was the messenger of the Guiyi Army, who stated the news from the Western Regions.

Liangzhou, located in the Hexi Corridor, is very closed to the news of the Western Regions. Only through the Guiyi Army can we understand a rough idea.

Li Jilong didn't care about being useless. He stayed in Liangzhou City and was a little irritable, so he might as well go out for a walk.

When the merchants saw the increasingly prosperous Liangzhou City, they couldn't help but exclaim: "This is probably the most prosperous city in the Western Regions."

Li Jilong said disapprovingly: "Liangzhou City is mainly for defense purposes. No matter how prosperous it is, it cannot withstand anything."

Having said that, Li Jilong was still honored to him.

In the past few months, he has followed Pan Mei to Xiliang to take office. The tens of thousands of soldiers he brought have made Liangzhou city as stable as a mountain, and even had the strength to continuously clean up bandits and entrench the Hu tribes.

The previous incident of Liugu tribe besieging Liangzhou City would never happen again.

Naturally, the Tang people who were firmly in Liangzhou opened up land and farmed in large quantities, and Liangzhou City became a pearl in the Hexi Corridor.

With the arrival of the Guiyi Army messenger, the senior officials of Xiliang Prefecture also gathered.

Tang Chongshan and Pan Mei sat on both sides, and under them were Liangzhou defense commander Di Jian and commander Li Jilong.

Although Tang Chongshan and Di Jian were scolded by the court for the Liugu tribe's besiege of Liangzhou, they finally lifted the siege and cooperated with Guo Shouwen to defeat the Liugu tribe, which established the prestige of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, if you have to pay off your merits and demerits, you will not be rewarded or punished.

Pan Mei is the general of the Dusi of the Xiliang Prefecture Army, and is in charge of the troops of Xiliang. Although in theory, there is only Liangzhou in Xiliang Prefecture, which is similar to Di Jian's defensive commander, his official ranks are different after all.

What's more, he brought tens of thousands of troops and a large amount of food and grass, and it was no problem to gain power.

"What news came from Guiyi Army?"

Tang Chongche couldn't wait to ask.

At present, his power is becoming increasingly vulgar. Because of the border areas, he won military achievements. Not long ago, because of his reasons, it caused heavy casualties in Liangzhou City.

Although Luoyang, thousands of miles away, is not clear, and the people at the bottom do not understand, officials and powerful households do not know where they are, and their prestige is greatly damaged.

So, now, I am eager to get merit and cleanse my shame.

"The Lord of the Fu, the Guiyi Army has heard that the new king of the Karakhanate ascended the throne, and the Khotan and Gaochang Uighurs attacked in one fell swoop, and the Karakhanate also responded to the battle, and the two fought at the city of Kashgar."

Li Ji raised his body and said respectfully.

He did not have Pan Mei's confidence and was far from the prefect, so he could only report humbly.

"General Pan, which one do you think will win?"

Tang Chongche really didn't understand much about military affairs, so he could only rely on Pan Mei.

"According to the following, the military strategy is full of victories, and the soldiers will surely win. The Uighurs of Khotan and Gaochang attacked the Karakhanate and would inevitably suffer a full confrontation. This will help the new king gather the hearts of the people and respond in a uniform manner."

Pan Mei touched her beard and then said softly: "The Kara Khanate is not prepared enough, but isn't it the case with Khotan? The Kara Khanate is not only a mourning soldier, but also a local war, so she naturally has the advantage."

"Khotan will be defeated."

When Tang Chongche heard this, he couldn't help but think again: "As soon as Khotan is defeated, the Western Regions are in danger, how can our Tang Dynasty ignore it?"

Pan Mei's eyes lit up. This scholar was indeed extraordinary and she underestimated him.

"That's right, in order to protect the Western Regions, the Tang Dynasty must advance westward to fight against the Karakhanate."

"yes!"

Tang Chongshan smiled at the corner of his mouth and exclaimed: "We will naturally have to contact us for help from Guiyi Army. I think Jing Qiong Dahan from Ganzhou should not mind us passing by!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was silent.

The false way destroys Guo—

There was no time in everyone's mind that this idiom appeared.

I have to say that this word is right at the right time.

Now the Tang army in Liangzhou City is strong and has a strong army of 20,000 and a cavalry of 5,000. It has a strong supply of food and supplies. After being held back for more than half a year, it was about to vent its vent.

And what about the Uighurs in Ganzhou?

Over the years, the French, Han, Dangxiang, Uighurs, and tribes have only 300,000 troops, with only 300,000 to 40,000 armor and weapons.

The Hexi Corridor is not short of war horses, only weapons.

Therefore, even though there are only 20,000 people, everyone is still full of confidence.

At this time, Di Jian hesitated for a while and said, "The Uighurs in Ganzhou have always been respectful, and there are few people in the Western Regions compared with them. Even the Guiyi Army is not as good as the Guiyi Army. If we do this, it will probably affect the reputation of the Tang Dynasty and will be quite unfavorable in the future."

When Li Jilong heard this, he said disdainfully: "As long as we are strong, this is nothing to do with the false reputation."

"Besides, the Ganzhou Uighurs are closest to us, so how dare you be disrespectful?"

Tang Chongshan just smiled and said, "We are just using the way. If we say that when we passed by Ganzhou, we happened to rebel in chaos, and we would help Jing Qiong Khan suppress the rebellion."

"At that time, Jing Qiong's Khan will be grateful and will give up his land and surrender. This is common in the history of the Tang Dynasty. After all, the Tang army is so powerful!"

"That's right, the Tang army is so powerful that it is famous for the world. The Uighurs in Ganzhou are willing to offer their land to surrender."
