Yang Yue smiled at the corner of his mouth, with a little joy on his face, and said loudly: "General Lin, before you come back, the King of Shu just sent a messenger to send back the news in an urgent manner for eight hundred miles, and he, together with He Hengrui, Zhang Xuanheng and other generals, led the army to defeat the main force of Tubo, basically ending the battle on the Western Front.

At present, He Hengrui, Yue Shizhong and other generals led the army to guard Tubo and clear the remnants of small units in various places.

The king of Shu, Zhang Xuanheng, Wei Jiyan, Lin Kaiyue, Xiao Chen and other generals led the army north to pursue the army of the Turkic Right Xian King and the Right Valley Liwang.

Once the King of Shu led his army to defeat the army under the command of King Youxian and King Liwang of Yougu, and cleared the Turkic elite cavalry in the south of the Tianshan Mountains, after the western front was completely stabilized, a large force of Tang troops crossed the Tianshan Trail and would appear on the western front of the Turks by surprise.

Whether it is an invasion alone or an alliance with Antony, it will cause a catastrophe to the Turks without knowing it.

Therefore, we do not need to mobilize our troops and take the risk of leading our troops deep into the Turkic hinterland."

King Shu, He Hengrui, Zhang Xuanheng and other generals won a great victory on the Western Front?

Lin Kaiyue, Zhang Shaoming, and Luo Shishang heard the news, and their faces showed surprise.

The battle on the Western Front was particularly difficult, not to mention the long journey of the Tang army, only the right Xian King, the right Gu Li King suddenly tore up the alliance and defected, and the Tang army faced great danger.

Several generals of the King of Shu and Zhang Xuanheng, at the time of the crisis, actually led the troops to turn the tide, inflicted heavy losses on the Tubo army, pursued the Right Xian King, and put the Tang army in an invincible position.

This was really beyond Lin Kaiyue's expectations.

However, as the emperor said, the great victory of the main forces of the Tang Army on the Western Front did reduce their pressure on the Eastern Front.

At present, they only need to lead the army to concentrate on destroying the main force under Yi Ran's command and strive to establish a great military feat.

For a while, Lin Kaiyue didn't say more, Zhang Shaoming, and Luo Shishang all realized the heavy responsibility on their shoulders, and after bowing, they strode out of the study and deployed according to Yang Yue's arrangement.

After drawing up a plan to continue the Northern Expedition and pursue the Yiran Divisions, the generals of the Tang Army acted quickly.

In the next few days, Ye Qinghu sent three hundred elite spies to various parts of the grassland to investigate the traces of Yiran and other tribes in accordance with Yang Yue's instructions.

After everyone's concerted efforts, in just a few days, Ye Qinghu has roughly sketched the topographic map of the Turkic hinterland.

Although it is not very detailed and does not fully understand the terrain of the Turkic hinterland, it can be used for military operations.

At the same time, Luo Shishang and Guo Xiaoqi followed the instructions, and after the leading troops gathered, the two sides marched step by step, leading the forward army to advance into the grassland.

Yang Yue, Nan Daoming, Zhao Xuanhu, led the Chinese army with Lin Kaiyue and Zhang Shaoming to converge, and the army was like a rainbow to the northern grasslands slowly deepened, once Luo Shishang, Guo Xiaoqi led the forward army to find the traces of the Turkic tribes, they would lead the army to pounce without hesitation, and strive to annihilate the other party as soon as possible.

......

Inside the prairie!

Yi Ran led the army to retreat, deep into the hinterland, and soon, the messenger from the west sent back the right valley Li Wang, the right Xian Wang led the army to encounter Guo Huaiyuan, Xiao Yun blocked, was pursued by the king of Shu, Zhang Xuanheng and others.

The two sides failed to lead their troops back to the northern part of the Tianshan Mountains as Yi Ran had arranged, and went as far as possible to block the Sassanid cavalry phalanx led by Antony.

Hearing the news, Yi Ran's whole person fell into confusion and panic.

The Tang army gradually ended the war in Tubo, and shifted its attention to the Right Xian King, the Right Valley Li King, once the two princes did not have the opportunity to lead the army to break through Guo Huaiyuan's defense, the situation of the Right Xian King, the Right Valley Li King will be very dangerous.

The worst thing is that they could not return to the Turkic territory with their army, doesn't this mean that Antony is like no man's land on the Western Front?

At that time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At this moment, Yi Ran secretly repented, knowing that Anthony and Yang Yue were in collusion, eyeing the Turks, and before going south to attack the Tang Dynasty, he should send troops to destroy Antony's army in advance, so as not to bring trouble to the Turks.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.

Moreover, the military deployment, one wrong step, one wrong step, can easily cause a series of disasters.

At present, there is a Tang army in southern Xinjiang, and it is very difficult to predict whether the other party will pursue, and Anthony in the west is leading the troops violently, and the Turks who were fierce in the past have suddenly become fat sheep, and everyone wants to take a bite.

For a time, the situation of the Turks fell into an unprecedented crisis.

Unable to manage to resolve the immediate crisis, the Turks will sooner or later be destroyed by the Tang Dynasty and the Sassanid East.

"King Khan, everyone is fighting against the Tang army in southern Xinjiang, and the only way to defend the Western Front is to rely on the evil king of Hun and the king of Hugh Tu!" King Zuogu looked depressed, with a little sadness and unwillingness.

The tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, and the soup phoenix was not as good as a chicken!

In the past, the Sassanids did not dare to breathe in front of them, but now they are conspiring with the Tang Dynasty to contain the main Turkic army, and Antony dares to lead the troops to make waves on the Western Front.

If there is a chance to defeat the Tang army, or to get rid of the pursuit of the Tang army, and calm the southern Turkic frontier is restored, he will definitely personally lead his army to the west, slaughter all the Sassanid infantry phalanx, and screw off Antony's head as a night pot.

"King Khan, it's really not good, make peace with the Tang Dynasty for the time being, and eradicate Anthony first." Wen Boyan was not confident in his proposal, he was afraid that the Turks would be attacked by the eastern and western fronts, and the size of the army would be sharply reduced, and when the momentum was low, he would not be able to fight against two powerful armies at the same time.

Moreover, for decades, the Tang army had no experience in going deep into the grassland, and did not understand the terrain and environment in the grassland.

Yi Ran glared at Wen Boyan fiercely, and was very unhappy in his heart.

Make peace with the Tang Dynasty.

Temur led the army to burn the city of Dongshou, and the Tang army was angry.

Even if they made overtures to the Tang Dynasty and compensated for money and food, Yang Yue would not agree, and the generals of the Tang Army under his command would not agree.

Besides, the Tang army has sufficient food and grass, and the whole army is high-spirited, if the king of Shu inflicts heavy losses on the western front, the king of the right valley, and leads the army into the Turkic territory, he will have the opportunity to severely damage or even annihilate the Turkic elite cavalry, and completely eliminate the hidden danger from the north.

With Yang Yue's cunning and insidiousness, the Tang generals hated the Turks to the core, and it was impossible for them to accept the peace talks proposed by the Turks.

To defuse this crisis, a huge military victory is still needed.

When Yi Ran thought about it for a while, his cold eyes swept over the generals beside him one by one, and said sharply: "Iron striking still needs its own hardness, the tribe is in a critical survival autumn, everyone must work together to save the tribe back to life."
