"Let's just say that Yanqi is trying to dominate the eastern section of the Tianshan Mountains, trying to confront Shache and avenge the original war, Queen Shache will definitely not allow a powerful country to appear in the eastern section of the Tianshan Mountains.

Yanqi fought with that powerful army, and the strength was bound to be greatly damaged, and in the past three months, the Bailongdui sandstorm was intensive, and the Han army could not beat Loulan, Shache could put pressure on Yanqi, as long as Shache put pressure, Yanqi would inevitably have no good result.

When the time comes, we will attack Dongye again, and exchange our captured soldiers back, and we will become the strongest country here, and we will return to the army that captured the prince of Boiling, which can be said to be easy, and we can also use Shache to become the overlord of the eastern section of the Tianshan Mountains. ”

"Gao, sure enough, the military advisor is extremely resourceful, and you don't need to use a knife to kill someone." Ye Long's strategy did not even require the former country of Cheshi to send troops, and he suddenly became enlightened, and immediately sent people to Yanqi and Loulan respectively, asking for help from Yanqi and complaining to Queen Latia of Shache.

…………

Liu Zhang led the army to Gaochang, although the current Gaochang is already in the form of a country in the Western Regions, but that is the reason why the Han Dynasty's control over the Western Regions is getting weaker and weaker, at least nominally, the current Gaochang still belongs to the Han Dynasty, not a vassal, but a direct jurisdiction.

But this is only in name, Liu Zhang will not be naïve to think that Captain Wuji is a Han seal, and now that he has passed as a Han army, people will be captured, maybe when they hear the news of their arrival, they will set up an ambush on the road.

So Liu Zhang was still very cautious all the way, but with the flying eagle of King Mulu to explore the way, the work of the wanderer was much less, and the marching speed was not slow. On the contrary, very fast.

But the more Liu Zhang marched, the more he felt wrong. Asked the guide on the side: "How far is it from Gaochang Kingdom?" ”

"About thirty miles." Many people in the Eastern Night Country can speak Chinese. This guide will too.

"Thirty miles." Liu Zhang was silent, this distance is already very short, fighting in the Central Plains of the Han Dynasty, this distance is already a warning range, even if the Western Regions is a little shorter, this is not the scope of comprehensive monitoring, but at least there will be Gaochang's soldier activities.

What's more, Gaochang is still a Han Chinese power, and as the only country among the three great powers that is not attached to Shache. Isn't there a little vigilance against the attack of the former country of Cheshi and the Yanqi country?

Liu Zhang is now a little suspicious of the flying eagle in front of him, and he is not at ease with this beast, if there is any omission, he is a lone army, then once he is defeated, it is not a joke, it is estimated that no one will know that the whole army will die here.

Kuroki didn't get it, and he put his life into it.

Although Liu Zhang has explained the aftermath very clearly, even if he suddenly disappears, there should be no big problem with the excesses of the Sichuan army. But Liu Zhang didn't want to die so inexplicably and die in a small place in Gaochang. Aggrieved.

After traveling ten miles again, it was still the same silence, Liu Zhang finally didn't believe the eagles flying in the air in front of him at all, and sent a large number of rangers to march, and sent rangers to the places where they walked behind, so that people could not copy the back road.

At this time, in Gaochang City, the two forces were tense.

"Zhang Kuo, what are you going to do? Do you want to betray the big man? An elderly general, who was about to be fifty to sixty years old, pointed at the person opposite and shouted angrily, his white beard fluttering in the wind, although he was old, he looked in good spirits, and the knife in his hand was dripping blood.

Behind the elderly general were hundreds of soldiers, all looking around vigilantly.

Surrounded by people, about 2,000 people, unlike other countries in the Western Regions, because of the high cost of arrows, bows and arrows are rarely used, more than 2,000 people have more than 1,000 archers, and the bows and arrows are all aimed at General Whitebeard and hundreds of followers.

Opposite General Whitebeard, there was an old general about the same age as him, who also couldn't see the appearance of aging, but there was a majestic aura between his broad face and thick face, with a broad-bladed knife at his waist, and he looked coldly at the Whitebeard General opposite.

Beside the broad-faced general were two soldiers escorting a young man, who looked athletic, but looked at the broad-faced general with red eyes, obviously very angry.

This is the Wu Ji Captain Department of the Han Dynasty, the white-bearded general is his own captain Dewey, the broad-faced general is Wu Captain Zhang Kuo, and the young man who is escorted is Du Yuan, the son of his own captain Dewey.

"Betrayal of the Great Han? Where did General Du start. Zhang Kuo said aloud disdainfully: "It was the big man who abandoned me Zhang Kuo, not me Zhang Kuo who betrayed the big man."

We are the captains of Wuji sent by the Emperor Lingdi before, but since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the imperial court has allocated us half a tael of silver? After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, the Central Committee of the Han Dynasty forgot that there was also a Wuji Lieutenant Department.

For so many years, all the tuntians of the Wuji Lieutenant Department have been raised, and Gaochanglei (Gaochang is the Western Regions defense base established by the Han Dynasty, called Gaochanglei, Gaochangguo is the name of other Western Regions countries, and later became independent before calling itself Gaochangguo) to resist the infiltration of Cheshi Yanqi, which one is not our self-reliance?

Is it easy for us to survive in such a desert area? What did Dahan do with us? If the big man is a little worthy of me Zhang Kuo, why should I be opposed? Otherwise, why should I be arrogant and repay my grievances with virtue, why should we work hard here as a school captain, but let those people in the Han Central Committee get cheap? ”

Zhang Kuo said to Dewey: "Brother Du, we are old brothers for many years, or that sentence, as long as you support me Zhang Kuo as king, you are the second king, one person under ten thousand people, otherwise, you know the consequences." ”

"Zhang Kuo, you are full of clever words, but you still can't hide your ambitions, don't you use such despicable means just to let me subdue my own people to follow you in rebellion? Don't you think that you want to betray the Han Dynasty, you want to attach yourself to the Shache Kingdom, and you still want me Dewey to cooperate with you, are you dreaming? ”

Dewey looked at Zhang Kuo angrily, after the rise of Shache, Qiuzi, Cheshi Qianguo, Yanqi, and other great powers Shule and Shanshan successively attached themselves to Shache.

As the only one who barely got on the table, but did not rely on the power of Shache, the living space is shrinking more and more, and it is even conceivable that once Shache destroys Loulan, the next one to perish must be Gaochang.

The reason why Gaochang has not attached to Shache until now is, of course, because most of the people living here are Han Chinese, and when Zhang Kuo asked for his opinion on Shache, Dewey resolutely refused to attach to Shache, and he also spoke out against Shache, so that Gaochang is unique in the south of the Tianshan Mountains.

It has become the only big country outside of Loulan that is not attached to Shache.

However, this kind of persistence, under the pressure of the former country of Cheshi, Yanqi and other countries, became more and more difficult, and finally Zhang Kuo couldn't bear it again.

Zhang Kuo, the captain of Wu, felt that there was no hope of relying on the Han Dynasty, so he sought to make Gaochang an independent state, and then took refuge in Shache.

Zhang Kuo knew that his captain Dewey would never be willing to be independent, let alone willing to take refuge in Shache, but Dewey's strength was very great, although he was weaker than himself, but he also had more than 2,000 soldiers and more than 5,000 people, and Zhang Kuo himself only had more than 3,000 soldiers.

If the war started normally, then even if Zhang Kuo defeated Dewey, he might not even be able to attach to Shache in the end, and he would be annexed by the former country of Cheshi and the Yanqi country, so a conspiracy was set.

Zhang Kuo invited Dewey to a banquet, went to the mansion, and secretly mobilized all his soldiers, originally wanted to control Dewey at the banquet, but he did not expect to be rushed out of the mansion by Dewey, and finally caused the whole army to besiege Dewey's soldiers and horses.

Dewey had many soldiers under him who were loyal and loyal, and Zhang Kuo did not want to kill Dewey until he had to, so he could only threaten him.

"Dewey, you don't want your own life, don't you want your son's life?" Widening his eyes to the general next to him, the two soldiers immediately pressed Du Yuan to his knees.

Dewey looked at Du Yuan's expression and was a little moved, but Du Yuan struggled all of a sudden, and shouted loudly: "I, old horseman, my Du family has been loyal and martyred for generations, how can I be in the same league with you, father, don't promise this dog thief, I, Du Yuan, will die when I die, even if I die in a foreign land, I am also the ghost of the Han." ”

"Well said." Dewey said loudly, and finally made up his mind that even if all of them died here, he would never compromise, and it was a big deal that father and son would die together.

"Mao hasn't grown up, and he is disrespectful to Ben General, do you know what loyalty is? It's just foolishness. Zhang Kuo glanced at Du Yuan, and at this time a group of soldiers came over with a large cloth bag, "General, the people sent by Dewey to ask for help, we have chased and killed, but only killed nine people." ”

The big cloth bag was opened, it was full of human heads, and the bloody skin on his face was fresh, Zhang Kuo said coldly: "Why are there only nine people, and there is one more?" He remembered that Dewey sent ten warriors out.

Although Dewey's strength is not as good as his own, it will be very troublesome if reinforcements do come.

"Rest assured, the general, that man's horse has been shot over by us, and the cavalry has chased him out, and there is no physiology."

Zhang Kuo nodded, threw the cloth bag in front of Dewey, a few heads rolled out, and said to Dewey in a cold voice: "Brother Du, your reinforcements will not come, I will give you one last chance, if you don't agree, you, your son and these soldiers, not only will they all die, you also have a wife, and a daughter, I will take good care of you." ”

A sinister smile appeared on Zhang Kuo's face.

"You, shameless." Dewey's face flushed, he never thought that this person who had worked with him for decades would be so despicable.

"You just have to answer me, you agree, or you don't." Zhang Kuo bit the word, obviously his patience has reached the limit.

"Father, don't promise him, my Du family, both men and women, have loyal bones, and my mother and sister will definitely commit suicide before being insulted, and they will not lose the face of my Du family."

Du Yuan said and looked at Zhang Kuo with disdain, "Old horseman, don't beat my Du family's woman's idea, you turn your back on the big man and want to take refuge in a small Shache, it is said that the queen of Shache is less than twenty years old, I Du Yuan really want to see you kneeling at the feet of a twenty-year-old girl, hahahaha."
