Chapter 1033 Who Can Make Li Qingche More (Thanks to Fengyu Wufei for the Reward)

【 ..】,!

It's not that the Tubo people were unprepared for the Tang army and those servants. However, what they didn't expect was that Shen Long had prepared a lot of logistics materials. They were well fed when they arrived, and they left a little earlier than the Uyghurs, and they were not in a hurry to come out when they reached the edge of the vast sea. After resting, the men and horses recovered their strength before coming to the bank of Ganquan with the Uyghurs.

Therefore, in terms of physical strength, Shen Long's subordinates are not inferior to the Tubo army. Coupled with the encouragement of the Datang Green Card and the fertile pastures, the servant army broke out with 120% combat effectiveness, and brought the Uyghur army out of the predicament in one fell swoop. Rescued, defeated Tubo's army, and even followed them into the gate of Shazhou City, and took the city.

This made Jieyujias depressed again. Although Shen Long thought that they had contributed their efforts this time and divided half of the spoils with them, but since the dispatch of troops, although they have won many battles and victories, none of these victories are Uighurs. The army took it with their own hands, and the spoils are too much, is it a bit aggrieved?

Annoyed, Jieyujias continued to attack Guazhou, without allowing the Tang army to contribute all the way, so he directed the Uighur army to attack Guazhou, and finally defeated Guazhou. Jieyujias finally came out. In a breath of anger, in order to vent his anger, he slaughtered all the Tubo prisoners in the city.

But this battle also caused the Uighur army under Jieyujias to suffer a lot of losses, and it was difficult to transport food and grass to the army from Yizhou across the vast sea, so they had to stop their offensive; The territory of the Uyghurs is covered, but there are many mountains in the middle, and it is simply unrealistic to send food and grass across the mountains.

Why is the Hexi Corridor called a corridor? It is because this road is between two mountains. The south is the northern branch of Qilian Mountain, and the north is from west to east. There are Mazong Mountain, Jinta Nanshan, Heli Mountain, Longshou Mountain, Hongya Mountain, Alagu Mountain and other mountain ranges in sequence. There is a narrow corridor to pass through, connecting the Western Regions and the Central Plains.

This is why the Western Regions can only be occupied during the heyday of the Central Plains. It is too difficult to rely on such a narrow corridor to maintain logistics. Once there is a problem in the Central Plains, the Hexi Corridor can be easily cut off, and this road is broken. Therefore, they can only take the road of going north to the Uyghur King's Tent and then going south, and the logistical pressure has more than doubled.

After taking Guazhou, Suzhou is further east. The distance between Suzhou and Guazhou is not much closer than that between Yizhou and Guazhou, and because Shazhou and Guazhou themselves can not carry a large population, this The two cities can't provide supplies for the army's Eastern Expedition, so whether Jieyujiasi is willing or not, this Eastern Expedition can only stop here.

"It's a pleasure to lead the army together with the general guard this time. We'll join forces again next year to fight against Ge Luolu." After thinking about it carefully, Jie Yujiasi decided to withdraw his troops, since there was no way to fight Suzhou , then it is not a good thing to stop in Guazhou. If the food road is cut off by Tubo, then they will be in danger.

Anyway, the main purpose of coming out this time is to fight a wave of Tubo to avenge myself. Since half of the revenge has been avenged, it is time to go back. Now that the Uyghur has a new Khan, it is not a good thing for him to lead the army for too long ;Because of the influence of Shen Long, Jieyujiasi did not replace the Uyghur Khan as in history. After the new Khan succeeded to the throne, he would inevitably have a power struggle. Go back and fight for it.

"So it's a deal!" Yang Xigu and Jieyu Jiasi clapped their hands and made a pact. The last time they defeated the Uyghurs and the Datang allied forces and captured Beiting Protectorate was not only the Uyghurs and Shatuo people, but also the Baifu Turks and Ge Luo. Lu, this time they defeated the Turks and recovered the Shatuo people, so next time they will definitely go to the Geluolu people to trouble them.

Otherwise, with an enemy behind him, who would dare to rest assured of the bold Eastern Expedition? What if I led the troops to Ganzhou and Liangzhou, and I was about to contact Datang, but the Ge Luolu people sent troops from the Western Regions and took my own route, what should I do?

"Hey, what a pity!" Even though he knew that no matter what aspect he was at now, he didn't have the conditions to re-dug the Hexi Corridor, Yang Xigu still let out a long sigh after he came down.

"Now that we can reach Guazhou, four of the seven Hexi prefectures are in our hands, and it will not be difficult to restore the other three states in the future!" Shen Long thought about it, he knew that this task would not be so easy, and now This is a pretty good start.

In order to cut off the connection between Tubo and Turks and support the Western Regions, Datang set up the post of Hexi Jiedu Envoy in the Hexi Corridor, under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou, Ganzhou, Suzhou, Guazhou, Shazhou, Yizhou, and Xizhou. , Xizhou was originally in the hands of Yang Xigu, and now Yizhou, Guazhou, and Shazhou have also been taken. The second half of Hexi to the Western Regions has fallen into the hands of Datang. It's only a matter of time before the other three states go down.

"A certain family also knows, but they are just unwilling! If the land of my Tang Dynasty stays in the hands of the Tibetans for a day, the capital guard will not be able to rest assured!" Yang Xigu also knows that now the Hexi Jiedu envoy has been arrested. Tubo is wiped out, and the Tang Dynasty has no way to look west, so if you want to reopen the Hexi Corridor, you can only rely on Beiting Dufu and Anxi Dufu.

And with the soldiers and horses they have now, it is obviously impossible to do this, not to mention that the harvest of Juliucheng's farmland has been almost consumed in this expedition. If the attack is not stopped at the right time, then failure is bound to come , This is the lesson of the Tang Dynasty's many years of fighting in the Western Regions. It is impossible for Yang Xigu not to know.

"After going back, rebuild the Han Navy, and then start farming in Yizhou, Xizhou, Qiuci, Shazhou, Guazhou and other places to accumulate food and grass. Next time, we will clean up Ge Luolu first, and then come back !” Yang Xigu glanced at Dongfang, turned around and went down the city wall.

However, Shen Long looked in the direction of Liangzhou from a distance, and recited a new poem, "Longtou Road can't be cut off, Hu Qiye entered Liangzhou City. The Han soldiers fought to the death everywhere, and all of Longxi was wiped out in one day. Drive the people around me to Huzhong, scattered cattle and sheep to eat rice and millet. Last year, the Chinese raised children and grandchildren, and now they learn Hu language with felt fur. Who can make Li Qingche take Liangzhou again and enter the Han family?"

The Tubo people have captured Liangzhou for many years. They forced the Han people to herd cattle and sheep for them. The descendants of those Han people can only wear Hu people’s clothes and learn Hu language. They are looking forward to the excellent generals like Li Guang and Li Cai brothers to recover Liangzhou , and rescued them from the hands of the barbarians.

When I return to Hexi next time, I will be able to rescue you!
