The environment of the Western Regions and the grassland is in stark contrast, and the grassland is more vibrant.

The Western Regions are more yellow sand, and the disadvantage of this is that there is a lot of dust in the army along the way, and there is no possibility of covering it up at all.

Fortunately, in the face of this matter, neither Li Chengqian nor Zhang Liang cared about this matter.

"Finally got rid of it!"

Even Li Chengqian's face was very happy, because he made his own decision, and the words of the third brother were thrown away.

After all, Li Ke's words could only show helplessness in the face of Li Chengqian's disappearance.

Because of the previous competition, his soldiers have reached the limit, and Li Ke still has some reason after all, and he is not inconsiderate of these soldiers.

Because of this incident, Li Chengqian was not ordinary happy, and he had already begun to fantasize about the scene of winning the King of Gaochang.

There was no obstacle along the way, although the occasional small town of yellow sand appeared in front of me, but these small towns did not resist at all.

This fueled Li Chengqian's momentum even more, but Zhang Liang felt that some of them were too smooth, and Gao Chang should have a lot of soldiers, but he didn't think much about it.

Regarding Gao Chang's words, Zhang Liang did not raise any vigilance in the end.

Because of the hurry, Li Chengqian's army soon reached the city of Gaochang Wangcheng, but it was different from other small cities.

That is, the gate of the Gaochang King City was closed, and there was no indication that he was going to surrender again.

Above the royal city, Koji Zhisheng's gaze fell on Tang Jun, and there was a trace of envy in his eyes.

Of course, he envied not the powerful soldiers of the Tang Army, but the armor on the soldiers.

You must know that Gao Chang is very barren, and a lot of armor is already very worn.

However, soon Koji Zhisheng's eyes couldn't help showing a determined look, he believed that as long as Gaochang did not perish, then he would definitely be able to rise again.

Accustomed to high positions, no one is willing to submit to others, if Gaochang is destroyed, then he, the future king of Gaochang, is doomed to be useless.

Although cooperation with Tibet will lose a certain degree of autonomy, the main power is still in their own hands.

"Order, encircle and exterminate this Tang army!"

Soon Koji Zhisheng's thoughts quickly stopped, and instead he spoke out to the guards beside him.

Yi Yi has been working for so long, and even gave up most of the land in Gaochang for this reason, plus the newly recruited recruits, which is more than 50,000.

It can be said that in this battle, Koji Zhisheng had no reason to lose, and when he saw that the Tang army seemed to realize that the Gaochang Wangcheng was not so easy to gnaw, he was ready to set up camp.

Koji Zhisheng can't let him rest well, if he waits for the Tang soldiers to recover, then this battle will not be easy to fight.

.......

On the other side, although Li Chengqian and Zhang Liang suffered some obstacles in Wangcheng, their faces were a little unsightly.

But in the end, it was not so stupid to let the tired soldiers go to the siege, anyway, there is still a lot of time now.

So let Gao Chang go for the time being, but some people don't want to let them go.

The smoke and dust in the sky flew up in the distance, and it was not just one place, but in all directions, which immediately attracted the attention of Li Chengqian and others.

"Is this something going on?!"

Li Chengqian frowned slightly and said, with a hint of doubt in his words.

Zhang Liang on the other side also frowned, and seemed to have some uneasiness in his heart, but he quickly remembered something.

"Not good!"

"We are surrounded by Gaochang's army!"

Zhang Liang had some experience after all, and immediately made his own judgment, but the words made Li Chengqian's face stunned, and then showed a trace of anger.

It seems that he didn't expect Gao Chang to dare to fight back, but Li Chengqian didn't know what to do for a while.

"Your Highness, look at this dusty appearance, there are at least forty or fifty thousand Gaochang soldiers."

Zhang Liang was already a little afraid, and hurriedly spoke up, obviously lacking confidence in his words.

To know that this is three times the number of troops, in the face of such a situation, Zhang Liang is naturally afraid.

Li Chengqian's face was already a little distorted, and he also began to be at a loss.

"What should I do?!"

Li Chengqian's current words can only ask for help, Zhang Liang asked anxiously.

"Your Highness, according to Liang, it is best to retreat at the moment!"

Zhang Liang looked at the smoke and dust that was getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but reply immediately, and his words were also a lot anxious.

If he had led the troops by himself, then Zhang Liang would have fled a long time ago, but now, with the prince by his side, even Zhang Liang could only stay longer.

However, he still cherishes his own life very much, and Li Chengqian also sobered up at this time, and was confused by Gaochang's appearance before.

"Withdraw!"

Li Chengqian finally gritted his teeth and said that as long as enough troops can be preserved, then the outcome is still unknown.

........

Changan

Although there are a few fewer princes, for Chang'an or the imperial court, it has not been affected too much.

After all, if the prince does not ascend the throne for a day, then it is destined to have no impact on the government or anything.

Of course, whether it is Li Shimin or many courtiers, they are still paying attention to the news from Gaochang.

Because this struggle between princes is not only a struggle between many princes, but also the key to many courtiers to decide their future choices.

Although some ministers bet early, many more still did not choose but waited for the result this time.

However, the speed with which these ministers received the news was certainly not as fast as Li Shimin's.

As in the past, Li Shimin was still reviewing the folds in the imperial study, but Li Junxian came in in in a hurry with a serious face.

"Your Majesty, something has happened in Xichang!"

There was not even a salute or anything like that, Li Junxian's voice sounded quickly, and there was a hint of anxiety in his words.

Li Shimin frowned at first, but after hearing the words, his face couldn't help but show a serious look.

"What's wrong?!"

Li Shimin's deep voice sounded, and the words forcibly calmed himself.

"The prince fell for Gaochang's scheme, and his army was almost wiped out."

Li Junxian hurriedly said without hesitation, to know that this matter is a big deal, and after he received the news, he didn't dare to delay more.

"What?!"

"Gao Ming didn't have an accident?!!

After Li Shimin exclaimed, he immediately asked out loud.

After all, it was his own son, and the emperor's first reaction was to care about his son.

"The prince's words didn't come out of anything."

Li Junxian also hurriedly said out loud, there is still a lot of credit for this matter, but now is not the time to dwell on this matter.

"Tell me all about it from beginning to end."

After knowing that his son was fine, Li Shimin's expression also eased a lot, but it was still not good-looking.
