Chapter 453 Entering Loulan to guard the sky

The army walked out of the desert and advanced westward, and the small countries along the way had already surrendered under the envoy's persuasion.As a result, the 20 troops staged a shocking scene in front of the nations like a demonstration.The country that was originally dissatisfied, after seeing the mighty military power of the Western Expeditionary Army, and hearing that Shasha, a powerful country in the Central and Western Regions, was destroyed by the opponent in one fell swoop, it no longer has any backsliding.

At this time, Loulan Kingdom was already panicking. Just a few days ago, after hearing that the Western Expeditionary Army was marching westward, the [-] Western Golden Wolf garrison stationed in Loulan Kingdom began to evacuate.

So far, there are only 100 soldiers left in Loulan. Facing such a situation, everyone panicked.You know, to the west of Loulan is the area of ​​the Shayier Khanate and the Wukaner Sultanate.There is only a big rift valley in the middle, which is more than a hundred miles long. It cuts the Kunkuli mountain range from east to west. Everyone in the world thinks it is the power of the gods, so this big rift valley is also called the Tianji Rift Valley. .In order to guard against enemies from the west, thousands of years ago, after the Tiancheng Empire from the Central Plains opened up the Western Regions, they built a pass here called Tianji Pass, which sealed off the passage from the West to the Western Regions.In the following millennia, this pass was abolished several times, until [-] years ago, when the Western Golden Werewolves entered the Western Regions, they drove the people of the Western Regions to strengthen the pass on the original basis, and stationed [-] troops, stationed here all the year round.Because of this barrier, both the Sayyer Khanate and the Wukaner Sultanate stopped outside the pass and were never able to invade the East.

Without the protection of the Western Golden Werewolf, the Loulan Kingdom with only tens of thousands of people is powerless to stop the invasion of the Western powers. Even in the Western Regions where there are many countries, some middle-sized countries with ambitions will start to attack with this strength alone. own idea.

The Loulan Kingdom, which was accustomed to being protected by the strong, had to focus on the Western Expeditionary Army that was heading west, and the monarchs and ministers began to discuss whether to choose to surrender.But what they care about is that this Western Expeditionary Army can gain a foothold in the Western Regions for a long time, otherwise, once the Western Golden Werewolf successfully counterattacks, wouldn't they suffer disaster?

"My dear friends, tell me, what should we do in Loulan now?" King Loulan was a fat man in his 50s, dressed in a gorgeous royal dress made of silk from the Central Plains, he sat up straight with effort, and asked out of breath. .

"Your Majesty, do we still have a choice in this matter?" The Prime Minister said with a wry smile: "The Golden Werewolves are not the opponents of the Celestial Army now, and the [-] troops stationed there withdrew overnight, fearing that they would block their way. Our Loulan has only a few tens of thousands of people, and only [-] soldiers, which is not even as large as the opponent's army. How can we fight against it?"

"But where is the Golden Werewolf?" King Loulan nodded approvingly, but frowned, "After all, the sky is far away, and the Golden Wolf is by his side. Once the situation changes, how should we explain to the Golden Werewolf?"

"It's out of necessity, presumably the Golden Werewolf should be considerate?" the Prime Minister said unconfidently.

"Hehe, the Golden Werewolf has always been vengeful. If we and the few people in a small country hadn't been able to support their [-] troops, I'm afraid they would have ceased to exist." King Loulan said with a wry smile, "Once it makes a comeback, I'm afraid there will be no more people in the world." Loulan is gone."

"Your Majesty, why don't you submit to the Western Expeditionary Army and at the same time send envoys to the Golden Wolf Khanate to explain your difficulties and win the magnanimity of King Sad Khan?" A middle-aged man said.

"Xiaoxiang Yili's words are reasonable, and the veteran thinks it is feasible." The prime minister's eyes lit up, and he immediately praised.

"For the current plan, this is the only way to do it." King Loulan nodded sullenly and said: "To show your sincerity, you can bring some gold and silver treasures and present them to Jinlang Khan. It must be so, and it should be able to calm Sad Khan a little bit. anger?"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Everyone heard the words and immediately echoed.

In the next few days, the Western Expeditionary Army finally crossed the other countries and arrived at the border of Loulan Kingdom.At this time, Loulan officials had already stood on the border, welcoming the army.

Hou Mingfeng looked at the flattering Loulan people, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It's a pity, if he insists on resisting, he will just destroy the country and get rich.Now that he has chosen to surrender, it will be difficult for him to make a move.

Following the guidance of Loulan officials, the army continued to march towards the country.Walking along the way, Hou Mingfeng discovered that the land of Loulan Kingdom is a deserted land, and it would be a heavy burden to station troops here, but what did Loulan Kingdom rely on to support the army of [-] western golden wolves?
After a few days of marching, the army finally arrived at the capital of Loulan. The environment here was slightly alive, but it was far from the fertile land.The army was stationed under the city, and the Lord of Loulan came with all the officials to express his condolences to the army, and presented a form of submission to the army.

Hou Mingfeng put away the official form in satisfaction, and after a few words of encouragement, he began to discuss matters related to the garrison of the sky.

King Loulan also attached great importance to this, and immediately introduced the situation of the urgent situation to everyone.After listening to the introduction, everyone was silent. This pass is indeed very important. It is the only three passages for Western powers to enter the Western Regions. Two of them are the Hasal Grassland to the west of the Western Golden Wolf Khanate and Kemir under the control of the Eternal Kingdom. highlands.Now the other two places still have two major powers as barriers, only this day is in danger of a rift, and the east is all small countries, which cannot resist the invasion of Western powers at all.

Without further ado, Hou Mingfeng immediately asked King Loulan to send someone as a guide, and dispatched [-] soldiers and horses to garrison first, in case of accidents.

During his stay in the Loulan Kingdom, Hou Mingfeng reached an agreement with the King of Loulan that the Western Expeditionary Army would send [-] troops to guard the Tianji Pass, but all the food and grass needed by the army would be provided by the Loulan Kingdom.At the same time, Hou Mingfeng also proposed to King Loulan that the land [-] miles east of Tianjiguan be designated as military use, so that the army can be stationed here to relieve the supply needs.King Loulan had no objection to this. The Loulan Kingdom was founded on business and was not interested in farming.Hou Mingfeng was very worried about this. Once the situation changed and Loulan Kingdom could not buy food and grass from other places, wouldn't the army's food and grass supply be controlled by others?Therefore, after Hou Mingfeng personally inspected Tianji Pass, he found that the surrounding land was very suitable for cultivation because of the infiltration of high mountains and water sources. Unfortunately, there were not many such lands, so he could only ask for [-] miles of land to start reclamation.

After discussing all matters, Hou Mingfeng appointed Shi Shouyi as the general guarding the Tianji Gate. The soldiers under his command will be divided into [-] Hengshan regular troops, including [-] infantry and [-] cavalry;In addition, the rest can be recruited in the Western Regions by themselves, and the number of [-] can be made up.At the same time, Murong Tan was the deputy general. Originally, Murong Tan was just a school lieutenant. After devoting his efforts to breaking Yekesha City and capturing and killing King Shasha, he could be promoted to the capital commander through hard work.So in addition to his original [-] cavalry, Hou Mingfeng allowed him to select cavalry from the militia accompanying the army, gather a staff of [-] people, and practice cavalry on the spot in Tianji Pass, thinking that Shi Shouyi would help him.Of course, these are only temporary appointments, and Hou Mingfeng has to report to Hengshan before he can be formally appointed.

After everything was successfully completed, Hou Mingfeng was ready to take the rest of the troops back to the Duhu Mansion.However, just as the army was packing up the camp and ready to go, a small country north of Loulan Kingdom sent people to inform them, saying that Loulan Kingdom had two hearts, surrendered to the Western Expeditionary Army, and secretly communicated with the Western Gold Werewolf, bringing generous gifts Secretly sent to the Khanate.

When Hou Mingfeng heard this, he was shocked and angry, and at the same time had some doubts.Immediately detain the envoy, interrogate him in detail, and secretly send a thousand cavalry northward to find out the truth.At the same time, he remained calm and evacuated Loulan Kingdom as planned.

A few days later, the Western Expeditionary Army had arrived at the border of Loulan Kingdom.At this time, the cavalry who went to the north to track down the Loulan envoy returned.This time they not only caught up with the werewolf mission to Xijin, but also captured Yili who was in charge of the mission.

Facing the undeniable evidence, Yili revealed Loulan Kingdom's plan with a look of despair.After listening to the confession, Hou Mingfeng's face was gloomy, and he immediately recruited Meng Tong and ordered him to lead [-] cavalry to seize the capital of Loulan.Then he ordered the army to turn around and return to Loulan Kingdom.

There were no twists and turns in the battle, and the Loulan Kingdom never expected that the Western Expeditionary Army would return to raid the Royal City. When 1 cavalry arrived, the gate of the Royal City would not be closed in time.Soon, [-] iron cavalry rushed into the city, and after a few dashes, only more than [-] defenders were defeated.In just two hours, Meng Tong easily controlled the whole city and waited for the army to return.
