Zhang Lang stood up and walked to the map rack. He looked at the map, searched and thought. Zhang Lang wanted to control the Western Regions as far as possible, and also considered to facilitate the transportation of troops and grain. Although the grain and grass can be provided by the Western Region countries, the most reliable one is his own grain and grass.

Zhang Lang pointed to the Shicheng that the Great Yuezhi Army had been stationed before, "Here." Everyone's eyes immediately fell on the Shicheng. Zhang Liao nodded and said, "This place is located on the north side of Tianshan Mountain and the south side of the plain. It is a key transportation for caravans to travel east and west. Moreover, there is an old city. If it is expanded on it, the cost will be much smaller! Beside the Tarim River, the troops and food from Yumen Pass can be shipped to Lop Nur and go up the river to Shicheng! However, this place is two thousand miles away from Yumen Pass. Is it too far?" Zhang Jian also felt deeply. Ma Chao, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, also felt a little weak.

Zhang Lang said firmly: "If you want to control the Western Regions, you cannot shrink, and the location of the capital is set in Shicheng!"

Seeing that Zhang Lang had made up his mind, the three of them clasped their fists to agree.

Zhang Lang returned to the top and sat down, and the three of them stood on both sides. Zhang Lang looked at Zhang Liao, "Wen Yuan, immediately send the more than 10,000 prisoners to expand and strengthen the stone city and build it according to the specifications of the military fortress. You should take care of this matter first." "No."

Zhang Lang looked at Zhang Jian, "I plan to upgrade the Western Region Chief Mansion to the Protectorate, and you will be the first person to be the Protectorate!"

Zhang Jian was shocked and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Loulan has become a ruin, and his subordinates are heartbroken. How can they have the face to be this guardian?"

Zhang Lang waved his hand, "Loulan's affairs are not all your responsibility! If anyone did it in that situation, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to do it well!"

Zhang Jian was moved and knelt down and swore, "I will repay the general with my heart!"

Zhang Lang smiled. Zhang Jian stood up and returned to the right head.

At this time, a figure swayed at the entrance of the tent. A warrior wearing heavy armor, a burly and extremely burly strode in. The general walked straight to the tent and bowed one knee: "The last general Pang De pays homage to the general!"

Zhang Lang said: "You are finally here! Have you been transported all the food and grass?" "Reported to the general, a lot of 600,000 harbors of grain and grass are transported all the food and grass!"

Zhang Lang nodded with satisfaction: "Very good!"

Pound stood up.

Zhang Lang turned his head and said to Zhang Liao: "Wen Yuan, it is really difficult for you to command the Western Regions Legion and the Tiger Wing Legion at the same time!" Zhang Liao clasped his fists with a deep feeling and said: "The General is clear and he is really clever! If you can control the Western Regions Legion, you will be in trouble with the Tiger Wing Legion. If you keep in charge of the Western Regions Legion, you will be delayed again!"

Zhang Lang smiled, "Wenyuan doesn't have to have a headache! I have already found a commander of the Western Regions Legion!" He said that, looking at Pang De.

Pang De was stunned and quickly clasped his fists and said, "How dare he take the post of commander of the legion?"

Zhang Lang smiled and said, "I know your ability very well! Although there are some shortcomings in strategy, they are extremely brave, honest and careful! They were also born in Xiliang and served in the Xiliang army for a long time. It is more suitable for the environment in the Western Regions! I have decided, so General Pang De will be the commander of this Western Regions Legion!"

Pang De was very grateful and bowed: "I will die in the end!"

Zhang Lang smiled and said, "Get up."

"Thank you General!" Pang De stood up.

Zhang Lang looked at Zhang Jian: "The reconstruction work of the Western Regions Legion is about to begin now! I have sent a letter to Jia Xu, asking him to transfer all the 50,000 new recruits trained near Chang'an as the foundation of the Western Regions Legion! But there are only people, no weapons, you can find a way to do it yourself!" Zhang Jian and Pang De agreed with his fists.

Zhang Lang frowned, "The big Yuezhi who is more troubled now is the big Yuezhi! They have shrunk to the north of the Tianshan Mountains, and it may be difficult for us to solve the problem in the short term! But the war in the Central Plains is in full swing, and I don't want to delay here for too long!"

Zhang Liao clasped his fists and said, "General, I will have an idea!"

...

Mu Zhen brought a few trusted generals to the city wall of the Tianshan Fortress, leaning against the Xiongqi Snow Mountain, facing the endless plain. Mu Zhen couldn't help but think of the continuous wars not long ago, and was still scared. The tactics of the Han cavalry coming and going without a trace and attacking as explosive as fire made him often wake up from his dreams! This Tianshan Fortress is said to be a fortress, but rather a city wall, a Shi Lei city wall lying in the Tianshan Canyon, blocking the only passage between the north and the south in the sky.

Turning his head and asking the general Vanne beside him: "Did the Han army not move?" Vanne was the general defense officer of the Tianshan Fortress he appointed.

Vanne shook his head, "Nothing happened. Not long ago, the scouts reported that the Han people were oppressing our people to expand and strengthen the stone city, and they seemed to have plans to compete with our army for a long time!"

Mu Zhen frowned and murmured, "Did he ignore the country?"

Dadadadadada...! The rapid sound of horse hooves came from the road behind Mu Zhen.

Mu Zhen heard the sound of horse hooves and turned his head to look, and saw a commemorative officer running anxiously. The commemorative officer ran under the city wall and strangled the horse. A soldier came forward to hold the horse's reins. The commemorative officer rolled down before the horse could stop and headed toward the city wall, but perhaps he was too anxious, and fell twice in the way.

He rushed to Mu Zhen and said anxiously: "The General is not good! The Han cavalry suddenly broke into our country, and His Majesty the King ordered the General to return to the rescue immediately!"

Mu Zhen and several generals were shocked. Mu Zhen grabbed the messenger's clothes and shouted: "How is this possible? Why did the Han army run to the country?"

The commander swallowed his saliva, "Little man, what the villain said is true! A cavalry of about 50,000 people in the Han army suddenly broke through the Pamir Pass under the leadership of a young white-robed general, and defeated the 60,000 infantry and cavalry army led by the Right Grand Commander with lightning speed. The Right Grand Commander and the two deputy chiefs were all killed by the white-robed general! After the Han army defeated the Right Grand Commander's headquarters, they bypassed our army's blockade and suddenly appeared under the royal city! Our army quickly returned to the rescue, who would have thought that they would suddenly appear halfway and come over the sky! Our army was caught off guard and almost killed the entire army! Now the royal city is surrounded, in danger! The general is back to rescue quickly!"

Mu Zhen's face turned pale and white, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Dayuan is on our east side, and is our ally! If the Han people want to attack us, they must pass through their territory. Why don't they send an alarm?"

The commander hesitated for a moment, "There are rumors that Dayuan has defected to the Han people!"
