At the beginning of the expedition to Xiqiang, through the narrow Beiyuan Road, through the Diren Valley, with inferior troops to sweep Xiqiang, the process was extremely difficult and dangerous, but Liu Zhang dared to personally lead the troops.

This expedition to the Western Regions only brought 10,000 people, the climate, food, and enemies were very unfavorable to the Sichuan army, but the Han army still came, and Lathia had no evidence to prove that it was Liu Zhang who led the army, but Latia was expected to be Liu Zhang.

"Okay, you're here, then I really can't wait to fight with you, see if I repeat the difficulties of the Qiang people, or let you know that I am strong in the Western Regions."

In the past, he was a prisoner of the Sichuan army, and he was restrained everywhere, and Latia was eager to be ashamed, when Latia was definitely Liu Zhang, he had no idea of rescuing the car division at all, and it was expected that the Sichuan army was going to cut off the way back to Shache, and Latia immediately returned to the army, in order to really fight with the Sichuan army.

It is impossible for the expeditionary Sichuan army to stop the Shache army in the field, and the end and the essence are the two big cities from Loulan to Shache, and they are the places where the Shache army must pass, and the Sichuan army will definitely choose one of these two cities to block the Shache army.

Since he is not in the end, he must be in the Refinement Country, and Latia can't wait to get to the Refinement.

"Everybody listen."

Passing outside the city of the end of the country, Latial turned his camel and shouted to the whole army, 6,000 cavalry, 5,000 camel soldiers, and 20,000 infantry: "This is not a return operation, but a decisive battle, a decisive battle with the Han army, a decisive battle for the real rise of the Shache Empire, as long as it is defeated, as long as the commander of the Han expeditionary force is killed, the Western Regions will be the sole hegemony of my Shache family, and the Han army will no longer be able to pose a threat to us, because. ”

Lathia glanced at the entire army. Shouted: "Because." Commander of the Han Expeditionary Force. It is Liu Zhang, the king of Shu, the general of the Han Dynasty, and the emperor's uncle Liu Zhang, who killed him, once and for all, and the Shache Empire was immortal. ”

Latia did not know that Liu Zhang had handed over all government affairs to Liu Xun, and the other generals and civil officials had acquiesced, even if Liu Zhang suddenly fell ill or was killed for other reasons. There will be no chaos in the Sichuan army, but whoever kills Liu Zhang will usher in the attack of the whole army of the Sichuan army.

In Latia's mind, Liu Zhang is the master of the Sichuan army, as long as Liu Zhang is killed, the Sichuan army and the entire force controlled by the Sichuan army, even if it does not collapse, will be in chaos, then with Shache's current strength, there is almost no suspense in the Western Regions Dingding.

More than 30,000 Shache soldiers were stunned for a moment. They don't know why the Han expeditionary force is under the command of Liu Zhang, even a soldier knows that it is unreasonable. But they quickly figured out that the power of religious belief was infinite, and the vast majority of the soldiers of Shache believed that their witch queen must be right.

"Long live the Queen, long live Shache." The three armies shouted a tsunami, and the last people who came out not far away to deliver food trembled with fright.

"Long live the Queen, long live Shache." The soldiers who were dissatisfied with Lathia had to chant because they were controlled by poisonous snakes.

Only the national teacher Xu Zhaoxue was stunned for a long time, "Liu Zhang, my husband is here." Xu Zhaoxue's heart almost jumped out, she had suffered so many grievances in the Western Regions, she was frightened, Xu Zhaoxue had long forgotten whether she liked the person she counted as the one who was killed, when a woman was in trouble, the easiest thing to think of was someone who could give her a sense of security.

Spending her days in the Western Regions, Xu Zhaoxue thought about Liu Zhang the most, regretting why she was disobedient and came to the Western Regions, if she stayed by Liu Zhang's side, would it be much better.

At this time, Xu Zhaoxue was not demanding so much, as long as she could give her a sense of security, she was willing to marry, not to mention that she had already acquiesced in her heart that Liu Zhang was her husband.

Hearing that Liu Zhang was coming at this time, Xu Zhaoxue's heart was pounding, if there was no one now, Xu Zhaoxue would definitely cry with joy, "When he came, I said that I didn't marry the person I was destined to do, and I wouldn't die, I knew that I could wait until this day." ”

But now that he was still next to the Shache Female Devil, Xu Zhaoxue woke up and broke out in a cold sweat, afraid that Latia would see her abnormality, and shouted with the soldiers: "Long live the queen, long live Shache." The crisp voice was slightly abrupt.

"The cavalry is the vanguard, and the whole army is open."

The Shache army marched on the yellow sand towards the Exquisite Country.

……

Liu Zhang arranged the affairs of the Wuji Captain's Department, and after the supplies were sufficient, he led the Tengjia Army to march to the southwest, and half a month later arrived at the Nalan River, which was a hundred miles east of the Jingjue Kingdom.

Looking at the river flowing in front of him, Liu Zhang frowned: "Strange, I sent a thousand vine armor troops to capture Jingjue, it stands to reason that General Tu'an should send someone here to greet him, why is there no one here?" Didn't you succeed in conquering the Essence? ”

"I don't believe it." The vulture bone grinned and said: "I understand this guy Tu'an, don't worry, the lord can rest assured, with his bravery, plus a thousand vine armor troops, he will definitely be able to win the essence." ”

He said: "Even if you don't win the essence, you should come here to greet you, what the hell is Tu'an doing?" ”

Liu Zhang's brows furrowed, he didn't hear the news that Shache had returned to help along the way, the Sichuan army should be one step faster than Shache, according to reason, Tu'an and a thousand vine armor army, to take down a small country, it should be easy, is there something wrong?

Liu Zhang was puzzled and was about to order the army to cross the river, and suddenly rushed out of the mountains and forests on the side, and within a hundred meters, a rattan armor soldier recognized it, it was one of the thousand people brought by Tu'an, and Liu Zhang's bad premonition rose at once.

"My lord." As soon as the soldier approached Liu Zhang, he bowed down, his face was covered with dirt and embarrassment, and he looked like he had been tortured for several days.

"How did you get this, General Tuan?" Liu Zhang asked.

"Yes, are you not sent by Tu'an to pick up the lord, why are you so virtuous?" The vulture also asked.

"It's not." After the soldier finished saying two words, he had already cried, and said with a crying voice: "Lord, General, General Tu'an took us across the Nalan River, and was about to attack the Jingjue Country, when suddenly a group of soldiers and horses came out from the north, many people, there were tens of thousands, and they surrounded us to fight."

We resisted with all our strength and killed many of them, but this group of people was different from other people from the Western Regions, they were not afraid of death, and when they saw that their swords and guns could not pierce us, they ...... Just ......"

When the vine armor soldier said this, he swallowed hard, wiped a handful of tears before saying: "They surrounded us with tens of thousands of people, drove us to the edge of the cliff with shields, and pushed all our brothers off the cliff......

When the vine armor soldiers said the last few words, they had already shouted excitedly, crying loudly, it was obvious that the vine armor army rarely had such large casualties, the vulture bone had led the 30,000 vine armor army for more than ten years, and the casualties were very small, this time a thousand people died at once, or pushed down the cliff Such a shocking scene, the vine armor soldiers inevitably couldn't restrain the sadness in their hearts.

And Liu Zhang and the other Sichuan generals were completely stunned, Liu Zhang stretched out his hand, took out the map, and carefully searched on the map, near the Jingjue Country, there are deserts on both sides of the southwest, wastelands on the east, and jungles on the back, there is no country at all, where are the tens of thousands of troops?

Could it be that Shache came back to help early?

"No way." Liu Zhang immediately denied his idea, even if Shache hid his ears and eyes and returned to help in advance, it would be impossible to ambush Tu'an, when did Tu'an come to be exquisite? At that time, Lathia must not have arrived yet, how could it be possible to ambush Tu'an with leisurely work?

It's not the Shache army, there are tens of thousands, and the combat power is still very strong, obviously it is not the miscellaneous soldiers of those countries that can be compared to the Che Shiyanqi, who will it be?

"How's General Tu'an?" Liu Zhang asked.

"General Tu'an......" The vine armor soldier's face appeared with sadness, and the vulture bone chuckled in his heart, and the soldier said: "General Tu'an was pushed off the cliff with other brothers, and only a few dozen of us escaped, and then we went to the bottom of the cliff to find General Tu'an, who has been dead for a long time." ”

"What?" Vulture and Xi Ni shouted at the same time, Tu'an and Xi Ni have been brothers for many years, and they both work for Vulture Bone, and although Vulture Bone is the master of the two, they have always been treated as brothers, and after being together for so many years, Vulture Bone can't face the fact that Tu'an is dead, and he is immediately furious.

"Who is it, who killed Tu'an, I must kill him, chop him into meat sauce, ah......" The vulture bone slammed his fist and beat his chest violently.

"Where is that army now?" Liu Zhang asked the vine armor soldiers.

"They've taken the Absolute King's City."

Liu Zhang was already sure that this could never be Shache's army, so many people, could it not come out of the ground?

Xi Ni clenched his fists and suddenly stood up: "General, I want to avenge Tu'an, my lord, I Xi Ni is willing to be a pioneer and take the Exquisite City in one fell swoop." ”

"Stop." After Xi Ni finished speaking, he was about to carry a big axe to order troops, and Liu Zhang immediately stopped: "We don't even know the number of enemies, combat power, and origin now, how to fight, and even if we fight, we only have 5,000 people here, and we must wait until we meet other troops." ”

"General." Xi Ni looked at the vulture.

The vulture bone's face turned red, and after a long time, he let out a sigh: "Listen to the lord." "Anyway, the other party will not run away if he occupies the Absolute King City.

Xi Ni stepped aside.

Liu Zhang frowned slightly, the vine armor army was still led by the vulture bone in his heart, but this was not surprising, the vulture bone had been with the vine armor army for more than ten years, and it was almost impossible to get out of the influence.

Liu Zhang also didn't expect to be able to obtain the complete allegiance of the Fujian Army to him, that was almost impossible, but it was even more necessary to form the Sichuan Army's own Fujian Army, and it would be much easier to have a fully controlled Fujian Army.

"Send someone to find out the best information at once, and find another hidden place to set up camp."

With Liu Zhang's order, several clever soldiers were sent out, Liu Zhang found a hidden hill and set up camp, and took his own soldiers to the cliff where the vine armor army was destroyed.

Only a few dozen rattan armor soldiers escaped, except for Tu'an's corpse, the corpses of other vine armor soldiers could not be moved at all, and when they came to the bottom of the cliff, everyone only saw the corpses of the vine armor soldiers piled up under the cliff, (to be continued......)
