Chapter 1005 Chaos in the Western Regions

At the time when the army of the Tang Dynasty was so powerful, Anxi Dufu and Beiting Dufu were powerful in the Western Regions. Although each Dufu had only more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, many forces in the Western Regions did not dare to neglect in the slightest. Deciding to crusade against that force, many forces in the Western Regions who surrendered to Datang sent out vassal troops to assist Datang in fighting.

That's why Datang was able to rule such a huge land with a relatively small force. It feels like the country of hope in the future. When the country of hope fights there, other countries will send troops to support it.

But now, most of the troops of the Anxi Protectorate were transferred back to Datang, and the road to Datang was cut off by Tubo, so many forces in the Western Regions gradually became disobedient. Today, more than 20 years later, Datang Instead, the army will become a vassal army of other forces, and they will fight with them.

As soon as he thought of this, Shen Long couldn't help feeling emotional. The current situation in the Western Regions can be described as chaotic. Most of the land in the south was occupied by Tubo. It used to belong to Anxixi Town in the Tang Dynasty. Suiye City was occupied by Ge Luolu. Khotan and Shule The city was occupied by Tubo, and only Guo Xin led the remnants of the Tang Dynasty to defend Kucha and Yang Xigu led two thousand troops to garrison Xizhou.

To their north is Ge Luolu, to the south is Tubo, to the west is the Black Clothes Dashi, and to the northeast is the Uighur. They are surrounded by enemies on all sides. In addition, there are Baifu Turks, Shatuo Turks, and Miaogas mixed forces. For a while, you and I join forces to beat others, and for a while, I join forces with other forces to beat you. It can be described as chaotic.

In general, Tubo and Huihe are the two forces that have the greatest influence and influence on the Western Regions. Although the Black Clothes Dashi defeated Gao Xianzhi in the Battle of Talas, this did not have much impact on the situation in the Western Regions. Datang launched a counterattack and blocked Dashi in black from the Western Regions.

After the Anshi Rebellion, the Tubo people replaced the Tang army to block the black food, and continued to lock them outside the Pamirs. The small states in Central Asia surrendered to Tubo one after another; until about twenty years later, the black During the civil strife, Maimen became the new caliph. He appointed Fadl as the governor of the East, and began to attack Ge Luolu and Tubo, which suffered heavy losses.

Ge Luolu became strong after the Battle of Talas, and gradually replaced Tuqishi, occupying the old places of the western Turks in the Chu River Basin, including the famous Suiye City and Taluosi City. The coalition forces of Huihe and Yang Xigu defeated the coalition forces of Huihe and Yang Xigu, but their current strength is still not enough to shake the influence of Huihe and Tubo.

There is a saying that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Since the Western Regions now have two powerful forces, Huihe and Tubo, it is inevitable for them to fight each other; The Duhufu, so Datang can only unite with Huihe at the moment.

Yang Xigu really had no other choice, so after hearing what Shen Long said, he still had doubts, "Since Jieyujiasi has decided to send troops, then he must have plans for this matter, right? Hand, as the Chief Protector of Beiting, I also have the duty to recover the lost land."

"Dare to ask the General Protector, I have never heard of the reason why you can win the battle outside when you are caught in civil strife. Huihe suddenly changed the Khan. Even if Jieyujiasi has plans, can his army plan the same as him? Don’t you want to preserve your strength for future use? If so, it may not be easy to win this battle!”

Seeing that Yang Xigu was still hesitating, Shen Long added fire, "Furthermore, even if this battle can be won, can Beiting really return to the guards of the capital? The court wants to come back? Just rely on the two thousand soldiers in the city?" Today's Western Regions can be said to be the jungle of the jungle, and it is still difficult for two thousand troops to defend the Western Province, let alone such a large territory as Beiting.

"Hmph!" Yang Xigu suddenly stopped when he heard the words, and turned around to look directly at Shen Long. Shen Long's words mercilessly revealed the embarrassing situation he was facing now, which made him very uncomfortable.

Shen Long was not afraid at all, and also looked directly at Yang Xigu, "Da Duhu, since this battle is difficult to win, and even if you win, you will not get any benefits, so you really can't let these comrades take risks! Daduhu finally Only then have these people been saved, and they should be kept in the future, waiting for a better opportunity!"

"King Guo Jun sent you here to shake my army's morale!" Yang Xigu's expression was not good, and he stretched out his hand to press the horizontal knife at his waist. Shen Long spoke loudly, and the white-haired soldiers around Start talking in a low voice, through their expressions, Yang Xigu can feel that they have been shaken.

At the end of the advertisement, Yang Xigu led the white-haired soldiers of Xizhou City to start marching with torches. This picture is extremely spectacular, but they embarked on a road of no return. After this battle, only more than a hundred soldiers survived Come down, now Datang's military strength in the Western Regions is too small, Shen Long will never allow these two thousand troops to be buried in the hands of the enemy.

"These words were not ordered by the king of Guo Jun. I really can't bear to let my comrades die meaninglessly!" If even the city of Xizhou falls, there will only be an isolated city of Kucha left, and the days of the Tang army in the Western Regions It's even more sad.

Yang Xigu clenched his hand holding the knife handle and then loosened it. He sighed after several times, "Go down and have a rest. You can think about this matter carefully."

Shen Long breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Yang Xigu had already begun to waver. If he could convince Jieyu Jiasi, then the two thousand white-haired soldiers might be temporarily saved.

After taking a rest and eating something, Shen Long was called over by Yang Xigu again. This time all the generals of the Xizhou garrison were present. They asked Shen Long carefully about the situation of Huihe's new khan exchange. The details read in the historical materials, carefully told them about these situations.

In the end, Yang Xigu and many generals in Xizhou City also tended to stop marching to Beiting for the time being, but they may not necessarily have the final say on this matter. If Jieyugas insisted on marching northward, they would still send troops.

"The previous big defeat, the great minister of Huihe was full of anger. It might not be easy to convince him!" Yang Xigu showed a look of embarrassment. Based on his understanding of Jieyujiasi, this man was obviously not easily persuaded.

Yang Xigu sent envoys to discuss with Jieyu Jiasi, while Shen Long stayed in Xizhou City. Early the next morning, Lu Shishi said to Shen Long, "Brother Guo, my younger brother is planning to leave for Chang'an today. I wonder if brother Guo can give me a horse?"

"Brother Lu, come with me to meet Yang Duhu first!" Shen Long said.
