Haotian got off the carriage, followed closely by Xin Jiao and others, while Mo Xing, the leader of Loulan Kingdom, and others were already waiting here. When the two parties met, it was natural for them to exchange pleasantries.
Mo Xing, Zheshan Songbang and others had all been to Hetao before, and naturally knew the four Xin Jiao girls. However, when they saw a pretty girl wearing a military uniform standing close to Haotian, Mo Xing was suddenly confused: "
Your Majesty, who is this female general?"
"My daughter, Ying Ji'er." Haotian said with a smile.
Mo Xing suddenly realized that this was the famous female general Ying Ji'er among the five young men in Hetao. With her status, it was no wonder that she could stand beside Haotian, even Jiang Shenzhou and other army commander-level generals.
behind her.
"Your Majesty, please come inside." Zheshan Songbang bowed respectfully and said.
Haotian was not polite and walked slowly towards the largest city in the Western Region.
Arriving at the east gate of Loulan City, Haotian closed his eyes, and a long-lasting breath of gold and iron came to his face. The reason why he did not enter through the north gate this time but chose the east gate was that he wanted to experience this city.
The atmosphere of a city that has experienced vicissitudes of life.
When he reached the gate of the city, Haotian's footsteps suddenly stopped. The dry wind blew from the Sea of Death, causing his white hair to flutter. He raised his head and looked at the six-foot-high city and the walls that had been blurred by time.
The handwriting read slowly: "The Tang Empire, Anxi Protectorate!"
Mo Xing frowned, and Zheshan Songbang poked Mo Xing with his finger while no one was paying attention. Mo Xing understood, and quickly stepped forward and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, all the five-sided Protectorate Mansion during the heyday of the Shenzhou Empire have been
recover."
"Five-sided Protectorate? Haha, yes, they have all been recovered!" Haotian muttered it silently, and couldn't help laughing.
A smile appeared on the faces of Luo Xiang and others, while Jiang Chenzhou, Li Xiao, Cheng Xiangxi and others laughed, their laughter full of pride and pride.
During the heyday of the Shenzhou Dynasty, there was the Beiting Protectorate in the present Wuma Jingyuan City in the north, the Dingnan Protectorate in the south of Xijiang, the Zhengdong Protectorate in Shanhaiguan in the east, and the Anxi Protectorate in Loulan City in the west.
There is also the Hanhai Protectorate on the Ryukyu Islands in the East China Sea. After the establishment of the Qingfeng Empire, although Emperor Taizu swept across the Great Wall, he only restored the rule of the Beiting Protectorate. The three governors of Zhengdong, Dingnan and Anxi
The Mansion has not been rebuilt at all, and the Hanhai Protectorate Mansion does not live up to its name.
But now, Hetao has completely regained its homeland. Although the five major military governors have not yet been re-established, with the current strength of Hetao, it is a matter of course to rebuild the military governors and effectively rule the local area.
After Haotian laughed, he said loudly: "We can clearly see the sacrifices made by the Six Kingdoms of Loulan over the years. Our country will never let go of any enemy, but we will not treat any of our friends badly. We will wait until peace
After Sa Shan, I, Haotian, will have my own reward!"
Mo Xing and others were overjoyed. Even Zheshan Songbang, who was known as the wisest man in the Western Region, also smiled happily. They looked at each other, knelt down quickly and said, "Thank you for your gift, Your Majesty."
"Get up." Haotian said with a smile, taking the lead into this ancient city that has been passed down from generation to generation with the names of countless martyrs in China.
Luo Xiang followed behind Haotian and said to Chen Han and Meng Xiaoting: "You two, remember today, our country finally regained the homeland of the Anxi Protectorate that had been lost for three hundred years. This is a day worth remembering.
.”
The two nodded quickly. Although they often disagreed with Luo Xiang, they never relaxed about their own work. The left history records the words and the right history records the actions. This is the custom of recording the emperor's daily life. Naturally, the two of them did not dare to neglect.
Not long after Haotian arrived at Loulan City, all the leaders of the Spring Sword Sword and Caravan Kingdoms in Jiayuguan Pass also arrived. Seeing this old subordinate whom he had not seen for a long time, Haotian couldn't help but praise him again.
"Yes, for so many years, Jiayuguan has been as stable as a rock, ensuring the safety of our rear area in the Hetao. Your Spring Sword Reward is indispensable." Haotian laughed and said.
Chunjian Shang was not greedy for credit, he just smiled and said: "My lord praised me, this is my subordinate's job. However, without the strong logistical support of Lord Chu and Bian Shuai, and without the desperate fighting of Yao Qiang, Longzheng and other soldiers,
Without the help of the three kings Ting and Cun, Jiayuguan would have been on the verge of collapse."
Haotian didn't take it seriously either. He patted Chun Jian Shang's shoulder happily and smiled at Feng Jing and others: "Look, Chun Jian Shang has become so good at talking after staying in Jiayuguan for six years.
Yes, haha."
Feng Jing smiled and said: "Well, yes, he has the spirit of a border town general. Li Xiao, Situ, and Cheng Xiangxi, the three of you learn from Chunjian. Look at his temperament."
Li Xiao and others did not take it seriously. They came forward and exchanged a few punches with Chun Jian Shang. They were all indescribably happy. Since Hetao regained the Second Northwest Road, Chun Jian Shang has been stationed at Jiayuguan Fortress.
There is very little time to return to Hetao. In addition, Hetao has been fighting in all directions over the years, and there is not enough time to recuperate. Therefore, the old comrades have not seen each other for a long time. Now that the army is gathered together, it is naturally very enjoyable.
Fubo, the leader of the Caravan Kingdom, Duqi, the leader of the Lujia Kingdom, Ting and Cun, the leader of the Yeerqiang Kingdom, took advantage of the meeting with a group of old comrades in Hetao to sneak up to Mo Xing and give him a questioning look.
A smile appeared on Mo Xing's lips and his eyes blinked. The three of them suddenly felt confident. They stood on the side of the Hetao. Although there were many unavoidable factors, at least their hearts were towards the Chinese Dynasty. In the past two years, the people of the Six Nations
After paying a huge price, several people were worried at first whether the Loop would cross the river and burn down the bridge, but now, they finally have peace of mind.
"Spring Sword Award, how many soldiers did you bring this time?" Haotian asked after smiling.
"The Golden Eagle Legion has 10,000 infantry and cavalry each, and the Three Kingdoms Infantry has 20,000 caravans."
"That's fine. After all, Jiayuguan is the western gate of China, and there is absolutely no room for error. Well, except for the Panshi Army and the Dragon Army, all the old troops in our Hetao are here now." Haotian smiled and said: "Sashan's
The face is not small, millions of our soldiers in Hetao died for them, Achilles should be proud."
Luo Xiang said with a smile: "My lord, who said that the Dragon Legion would be absent?" He whispered a few words into Haotian's ear, and Haotian burst out laughing: "Okay, sir, give the order immediately and let them set off immediately.
In addition, the Mushan Division of the Rock Army took out two soldiers from the army and immediately marched westward."
Feng Jing was shocked. The Rock Army was the Hetao Home Guard Army, with a total strength of 150,000. But these 150,000 soldiers were distributed on the long defense line from the Bloody Plateau to the Holy Capital of Tiandu. The Hetao generals Qilin and Canglang
After the three frontier legions of the Red Snake and the Red Snake were taken away, there were only two direct legions of the Panshi and the Golden Eagle left in the entire China.
Now that the Golden Eagle Legion has taken away two armies, if the Rock Legion takes away two armies, the direct force of the entire Shenzhou will actually be only 160,000, even if the Jiaolong Legion and the Korean Navy who have been stationed on the river are included
, the military strength is also weak. This is really too risky.
Luo Xiang secretly glanced at Feng Jing. Feng Jing's extremely handsome sword eyebrows wrinkled slightly and suddenly relaxed. No matter how empty the troops in China were, as long as the main army on his side did not suffer any losses, then
There will be no problems in China. Those with ulterior motives simply do not dare to take risks. However, Luo Xiang will never do things so easily for others to see through. He must have a back-up plan.
"military adviser!"
Xuanji quickly stood up and promised loudly.
"My army of millions in the Hetao has gathered in the Sea of Death. If I can't defeat Sashan this time, it will be a shame for me in the Hetao and a great shame for my country. You and your husband will immediately formulate a strategic plan and strive to win the battle in the shortest possible time."
Defeat Sashan. Remember, we still have to pay attention to the casualties of our army." Haotian said in a deep voice, looking at Mo Xing and others who were looking forward to it, Haotian frowned slightly.
"Your Majesty, although our soldiers from the Six Kingdoms of Loulan are not as powerful as the Celestial Army, as a vassal state of the Celestial Empire, we have been bullied by Sa Shan over the years. We hope that your Majesty can give us a chance." Mo Xing said quickly.
Zheshan Songbang also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, our soldiers are relatively familiar with the climate in the Central Continent, and a million-strong army needs to be accompanied by enough experienced soldiers whether it is logistical supplies or baggage transportation. Our army is clumsy, but I believe
capable of performing these tasks.”
It seems that the six countries in the Western Regions are determined to go out together, so they are willing to do even the cumbersome work of transporting grain and grass. However, as soon as Zheshan Songbang's words came out, as long as he was a general who participated in the Northern Expedition to the Haixi that day,
Suddenly sweat broke out on my forehead.
Logistics transportation seems simple, but it is actually very important. If you are not careful, hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line will collapse due to lack of strategic supplies. Just like the Korean soldiers who were responsible for ensuring the safety of logistics supplies in Hetao, but were burned by Jin Zongbiao
It almost aborted the northern expedition plan of Hetao.
Jiang Chenzhou waved his hand quickly and said: "Haha, there is no need for this. The combat effectiveness of your soldiers is still very good, haha."
Xuanji patted his head with a headache. For Hetao, he was not afraid of opponents who were like gods, but teammates who were like pigs. They must not be responsible for the logistics, otherwise the soldiers on the front line would have to worry about their stomachs at any time. Look.
Come on, just keep them by your side and take care of them at all times, and there shouldn't be any problems.
"Let's do this. The Six Kingdoms of Loulan will send out 50,000 elite soldiers to go south with us. My lord, please give me a name for the time being so that it is easier to address me," Xuanji said.
"Since it comes from the Sea of Death, let's call it the Undead Legion. You are responsible for the establishment of the army yourself, and report it to the military advisor when the time comes." Haotian said slowly: "Military advisor, sir, you should also pay attention. Xin Ke just taught you a lesson two days ago.
Let’s take a look at the Kingdom of Constantine, and the relationship between the Kingdom of Constantine and Sa Shan has always been good. You must take this possible variable into account to prevent them from suddenly intervening and causing the tragedy of the Stone Wasteland to happen again.”
Feng Jing said fiercely: "The Kingdom of Constantine? They are really impatient to live. The person I want to kill in Hetao will be sent to the West even if I chase him to the ends of the earth. No matter who he is, as long as he dares
If you block our army, you will be our enemy."
Fengjing has been very angry in the past two days. Firstly, it's because Rouran, Hetao and Rouran are at odds with each other. After Fengjing goes back, he doesn't know what to say to Daisler. Secondly, it's because of Sashan. As soon as he sets foot on the sea of death, before
The gentle and elegant man disappeared. Feng Jing's eyes were now redder than after he had killed millions of people. The murderous aura shrouded in them made even a veteran who had been on the battlefield tremble with fear.
The Hetao army was divided into two parts: east and west. Haotian's main force of 700,000 soldiers on the eastern front went directly south from Loulan City, exited the Sea of Death, and captured a small town in the north of Sashan for temporary rest and reorganization. This place is far away from the important northeastern border defense town of Gedi in Sashan.
It is only less than a hundred miles away. If the infantry marches in a hurry, it will only take half a day to reach the gates of Getdis City. Xibu Gaza did not dare to neglect and ordered all the residents in the northeastern part of Sashan to move south. He put himself on full alert and asked for more troops.
The broken soldiers flew back to Babylon like snowflakes.
The 300,000-strong army on the Western Front, led by the bloody three men, also entered the northwest region of Sashan. Although Al Tietong had 150,000 elite troops and a fortified city to rely on, he still did not dare to be careless. Faced with
Three of the 300,000 elites and five generals in Hetao, even if Xibu Jiasha is here, they must be careful not to give the other side any opportunity to take advantage of them.
Faced with an unprecedentedly severe situation, Achilles issued a national mobilization order for the second time since he succeeded to the throne. The last time it was issued was when Achilles had just succeeded to the throne, and Obsburg's 400,000-strong army was fighting against the famous generals.
Under the command of Suganev, the army marched eastward. Sashan suffered a series of defeats at that time. If Sibu Gaza had not desperately blocked the offensive of the Obsburg army, Sashan would have been destroyed.
The situation this time is more severe than last time. More than one million troops have been concentrated in Hetao. The total population of Sashan is only more than 20 million. They are not nomads. They can only muster a million troops with the strength of the country, but their combat effectiveness is still small.
There is no guarantee. Achilles could only order Xibu Jiasha and Al Tietong to resist desperately, while he tried his best to form a new army in the rear. But what troubled him was that Wu Xiaolangjun's dragoon army had been
Wandering near the city of Babylon. There were 100,000 soldiers in the air in the city of Babylon, plus the 50,000 who had just returned from the front line, but they were unable to destroy the opponent's mere 50,000 cavalry.
Every time Sashan's army attacks, Longxiang's army relies on its own mobility to escape. Tang Jian and others' cavalry tactics were originally learned from Fengjing, so they also followed Fengjing's elegant and flexible tactical style. Achilles Fei
Try your best, but you still can't catch the opponent's tail.
One time, he caught it, but it turned out that Wu Xiaolangjun had been prepared. Tang Jian led 20,000 cavalry, disguised as a legion, and without any trace, led the 50,000 army led by Sashan General Kasdu to Guan Zhichun and others.
In the ambush circle, the army suddenly broke out and beheaded more than 20,000 people. Kasdu led more than 20,000 remnants of the army to break out in embarrassment. The five young men were chasing after them. Fortunately, Achilles personally led the army to come to support, otherwise Kasdu would have been killed.
The more than 20,000 remnant troops in the capital could not return to the city of Babylon.
Achilles is very clear about Sashan's current situation. A million troops in the Hetao are pressing on the northern front. The troops in the front can only be strengthened but not weakened. However, if the Longxiang Army in the Hetao is not wiped out, then Sashan cannot guarantee the country's preparations for war.
Safety. Therefore, it has become Sashan's top priority to eat Wu Xiaolangjun, a thorn in his side.
"Xie Xin, I'll leave the Long Xiang Legion in Hetao to you!" Achilles patted Zhu Chi Xie Xin's shoulder and said in a deep voice.
Zhu Chixie nodded solemnly. At this time, nothing was better than direct action. He just made a straight military salute to express his determination to Achilles.
Achilles frowned slightly, but in the end he didn't say anything. After Zhu Chixiexin came back from Hetao, he acquired many of Hetao's unique habits, such as the meticulous and meticulous military style. Didn't Achilles think so?
No, it was just like this in front of him, which made him somewhat uncomfortable.
Zhu Chixie turned around and walked out of the hall, his back straight and his steps as smooth as ever. This prince of Sashan, who had always been known as a playboy in Sashan back then, after being cultivated in the Hetao for five years, has become so shrewd and powerful that he cannot express himself in words.
expression.
Achilles suddenly felt a little strange. Zhu Chi Xiexin's back seemed quite lonely. As the Prince of Sashan, he controlled 200,000 newly formed recruits under his command. Even among the Sashan royal family, he was the most powerful.
As a powerful figure, why is he so lonely?
When Zhu Chi Xiexin took office, he naturally had to do three things first. Two hundred thousand new troops gathered near the city of Babylon, plus the 50,000 elite forbidden troops given to him by Achilles, preparing to destroy the Dragon Army in the shortest possible time.
, to ensure the stability of the Sashan hinterland.
"The 50,000 Nanahada soldiers stationed in Wulensi City have a tendency to go north. The Luoxue Prefect thinks that diving westward from the Bloody Plateau is an immature proposal. The slope here is too steep to march. I must consider it, my lord!"
"The Kingdom of Constantine paid a ransom worth approximately 50,000 taels of gold to redeem the more than 20,000 soldiers captured by the commander-in-chief, and handed over all personnel of the Kingdom of Jihas. However, they proposed that they hope that we would consider it for the sake of humanitarianism.
Come on, let those innocent people go."
"Prince Demodiga of Sykara led 50,000 soldiers to the city of Babylon. On the way, he was intercepted by the Longxiang Army. He killed nearly 20,000 enemies and captured 12,000. Demodiga led the remaining army and fled in confusion. Five Young Masters
You will behead all the prisoners."
"Mu Shan personally led 20,000 Panshi Legion soldiers to Jiayuguan and will arrive here around noon tomorrow."
"Zhu Chixie led 250,000 soldiers to encircle and suppress the Longxiang Legion, but with little effect. The Longxiang Legion's current scope of activities has expanded to the entire central and southern Sashan region."
"Zhu Chi is evil? Haha, isn't he a fan of Lu Bu?" Haotian interrupted Chen Han and said with a sneer.
Chen Han suddenly discovered that when the name Zhu Chi Xiexin was mentioned, Haotian's expression suddenly changed. A few gleams of blood appeared in his eyes, his expression was ferocious, and extremely fierce murderous aura suddenly erupted from his whole body.
Chen Han swallowed his saliva, nodded and said, "Yes, I am a fan of Lu Bu."
