"More reckless?"

Holy Babylon, the great god lord of the Ila region of the eighteen Arab kingdoms, a pair of small eyes rolled around, and he heard the meaning of Ziyad's words.

Ziyad was the bait released by Governor Abu, and of course Ziyad's vanguard army could also divide another decoy army.

"General, I am willing to lead my men into the plateau."

"No, it's not time yet."

Ziad squinted his eyes and shook his head, and said, "We can't be too proactive, we have to make it look like the prince of the Stone Country, forcing us to make a decision." ”

"Then we send troops, should we take him with us?"

"Why not?"

The two of them talked word by word, but they drew up the next battle plan.

Next, they will stage a drama in which the prince of Shi is eager for revenge and tells the Abbasids to take the initiative to attack the Western Regions, and ensure that this drama can be transmitted from the merchants to the other side of the plateau.

Coincidentally, it is the hot summer season right now, and it is the time when business travel is the most frequent, and it will be a few months before the end of autumn, even the trough will be closed by heavy snow, not to mention business travel, even the army will be difficult to pass.

After nearly ten days of brewing, outbreaking, and spreading, a good show in the Arab vanguard military camp was finally known to the Western Regions.

For many players who have just settled in the Western Regions, this news is just a signal that a war is about to start, but for Gao Xianzhi, it is like a man's back, and the scourge that must be removed has been sent to the door by himself.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the general has made up his mind, and immediately sent troops to the Green Ridge to destroy their vanguard soldiers and horses first."

In Broken Leaf City, Gao Xianzhi summoned Yang Yang Yang and the cold winter March and others who had just arrived to the lord players: "You wait for a good life to guard Broken Leaf City, in case the enemy army detours the southern canyon from sneak attacking. ”

Gao Xianzhi had a reason to fight, because it was not much of a problem for him to destroy the Shi Kingdom, but to let the prince of Shi live and cause a shock in the Western Regions, not to mention that the Son of Heaven would be unhappy, and Li Linfu, the prime minister who had always supported him, would not give him a good face.

So no matter what, whether this battle is won or lost, Prince Shi must die.

When the prince of stone died, the blame he had to face was negligible.

It is impossible to persuade Gao Xianzhi to wait for Mo Xiaobai to arrive and then make a concerted move, Yang Yangyang's eyes condensed slightly, and he nodded: "The general wants to fight, and I will not stop it, but I have a plan to tell." ”

"Viscount, please."

"I have 5,000 elite cavalry under my command, and each of them can defeat three with one enemy, I hope the general can take you and leave the Qarlu troops behind."

"Leave the Qarluqs behind?" Gao Xianzhi frowned, he didn't expect that the sheep and sheep would 'grow branches' at this time.

Yang Yang nodded: "Ge Lulu is the Tiele tribe in the past, Tiele has never returned to the Tang Dynasty, and the general doesn't want to be ruined by them during the war, right?" ”

"How dare they?"

Gao Xianzhi, as a general who has held great power and fought on the battlefield for many years, attaches great importance to his prestige. The phrase Yang Yang Yang said that the Gelulu people were unreliable, but the subtext was not that he Gao Xianzhi couldn't suppress his subordinates?

"In recent years, the remnants of the Turkic cavalry have been eye-catching with the west, isn't it clear that the general is in the Western Regions?"

"This"

Gao Xianzhi frowned, and Yang Yangyang's question was indeed to the point.

The Turks were exterminated by the Tang Dynasty, even if the remnants of the tribes were attached to the Tang Dynasty, it was because they couldn't fight the Tang Dynasty's compromises, and once they had the opportunity, no Turkic would wear the same pants as the Tang Dynasty.

After hesitating for a moment, Gao Xianzhi said in a deep voice: "Why don't you promote the Khan department?" You must know that they were originally on the west side of the Green Ridge. ”

"Dawan is different from the Turks, Dawan has not known us since the Han Dynasty, and the two sides have never had a mortal enmity, but more mutual assistance and marriage."

Yang Yang Yang smiled, the country of Bahanna in Gao Xianzhi's mouth was the former Dawan country.

The Dawan country that is rich in sweat and blood horses.

Except for a short period of time when Dawan succumbed to the Kushan during the Kushan period, he was the most ironclad ally of China in Central Asia and the Western Regions.

Gao Xianzhi himself rebelled, and Dawan may not betray Datang.

Of course, this sentence was just thinking about it in my heart, and I didn't say it directly.

However, even if Yang Yang Yang didn't say it, Gao Xianzhi also knew the relationship between Bahanna and the Tang Dynasty, and after walking back and forth in the camp tent for seven or eight steps, he smashed his fist on the column next to him:

"Yes, General Ben promised to let your cavalry go to battle with me, and the Qarlu Department will stay in Broken Leaf City for repair."

"Thank you, General."

………

An hour later, Gao Xianzhi took 10,000 elites from his headquarters, 8,000 cavalry soldiers from Bahan's army, and 5,000 cavalry from Qingyuan City to set out on the expedition.

"It's a trap." Sending off the expeditionary army, the first thing he said when he returned to the camp in the cold winter March looked directly at Yang Yang Yang, as if he was waiting for Yang Yang Yang to give an explanation.

"I know."

Yang Yang Yang bowed silently, the so-called battlefield intelligence came from the mouths of a group of merchants disguised by the Green Mu Sect, how could she not consider the conspiracy.

"And let your people die?"

"Do you have a way to stop Gao Xianzhi?"

Listening to the inquiry of a little girl beside her in the cold winter March, Yang Yang Yang smiled and asked rhetorically.

Stop Gao Xianzhi?

It's simply impossible!

Not to mention the level of position, even the strength of the army is also the most in Gao Xianzhi's hands.

He's leaving, who can stop him?

"But this bait is too obvious, I'm worried that Gao Xianzhi will" The last few words were not spoken, but everyone present knew what it was. Gao Xianzhi took the initiative to bite the bait like this, and it was strange that he didn't hit the trick.

"General Gao has already set off, it's pointless to think about these now, if you really want to worry, you still have to worry about ourselves, Gao Xianzhi's words before leaving are right, we have to defend Broken Leaf City."

Yang Yang Yang pointed to the map and said, "Don't look at the complex terrain of the Pamir Plateau that we are familiar with, but with those Zhaowu Jiu surnames who have been crisscrossing the Western Regions all year round as guides, the Arabs can find more than a dozen valley passages and directly attack our Broken Leaf City." ”

"And you see, the current situation is that Prince Shi and some Arab soldiers and horses have entered the Green Ridge to lure the enemy, they will definitely not fight with Gao Xianzhi, and they will definitely retreat north. In the northwest area of the Green Ridge, there is their pioneer camp, maybe they will even abandon the entire pioneer camp and continue to attract Gao Xianzhi to the west. ”

"To the west along the mountain road is the Talas River, which is the best place to set up an ambush. The Arabs' strategic plan is to be conspiracy, and even if we know their approximate offensive steps, we will not be able to catch up easily, because we still have to defend the backline. On the other hand, the Arabs have plenty of troops, and after they have succeeded in luring the enemy, they can divide 50,000 or even 80,000 troops to cross the green ridge, first, to prevent us from going to support, and second, to capture Broken Leaf City. ”

"It is foreseeable that counting those bait, there are at least 150,000 soldiers and horses they used to besiege and kill Gao Xianzhi. 80,000 troops are holding us back, and perhaps 50,000 troops can be sent to unite with Tibet and directly attack Dunhuang, an important city connecting the Western Regions and the Central Plains. Even so, the Arab army should still have 100,000 men to spare, sitting in the rear to calmly support every battlefield. ”

Analyzing the predictable battlefield situation step by step, Yang Yangyang glanced around: "This battle, no matter how you fight, you have to fight hard, there is no possibility of cheating, what we can do is to fight to the death at any cost!" ”
