    Looking at the tall walls of Kucha City, Zuo Che let out a long breath: "Master, we are finally here! We are home!"

    Qiuci is a large city in the Western Regions, and the Anxi Protectorate is located here.

    The four towns of Yanqi, Qiuci, Khotan and Shule are collectively known as the Four Anxi Towns and are the strategic pillars of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions.  Among these four towns, Qiuci was the most important to the Tang Dynasty.

    Brother Shuhan patted the dust on his body, laughed and said, "I'm finally back! After so many years, I'm finally home!" He waved his hand and said, "Let's go to the city!"

    "Master, look, the Jiedushi is here, he's here to greet us." Zuo Che was very excited, lowered his voice, and whispered in Ge Shuhan's ear: "Master, as soon as you arrived, Tian Renwan, the Jiedushi, came to the end.  ¡±

    Li Longji admired Ge Shuhan's military talents very much and asked him to take care of the Western Regions, which meant appointing him as the military governor of the Western Regions. Once he arrived, Tian Renwan, the former military governor, had to step aside.

    Looking back, when Ge Shuhan left the Western Regions, he was unknown.  And now, he is already the general in charge of the Anxi Protectorate. How many years has it been?  With such a change, Zuocha wouldn't even be happy if he didn't.

    Ge Shuhan didn¡¯t have such leisure, and said with a solemn face: ¡°The burden on my shoulders is heavier than that of any Anxi Protector General.¡±

    Since the destruction of Tubo, Dashi has become a little anxious.  You don't need to think about it to know that after the Tang Dynasty defeated Tubo, the hundreds of thousands of troops originally used to defend Tubo became a strategic mobile force and would inevitably be deployed on the battlefield that the Tang Dynasty wanted to invest.  At present, the place where the Tang Dynasty needs to invest more troops most is in the north to defeat the Turks.

    Once the Turks are defeated, the Tang army will march westward.  Then, the pressure faced by Dashi will be much greater.  If Tibet had not restrained the Tang army for so many years, the Tang army would have marched westward long ago. How could they wait until now? Dashi would not be able to do it unless he became anxious.  This panic is serious. Wars in the Western Region will become more frequent and larger in scale. The burden on Ge Shuhan's shoulders will be too heavy.

    Zuo Che couldn't help but choked and had no choice but to stop talking.

    Tian Renwan led the generals to arrive, saluted Ge Shuhan and said, "I have seen General Ge Shu."

    Ge Shuhan replied: "Ge Shuhan has met General Tian."

    As soon as everyone had finished the ceremony, Ge Shuhan asked about business: "General Tian, ??is the army's station ready?"

    "Before the soldiers and horses move, food and fodder go first." This is a common saying among military strategists. Before the army arrived, Ge Shuhan sent someone to inform Tian Renwan and asked him to prepare a place of residence and food and fodder.

    Tian Renwan smiled and said: "Don't worry, General Geshu. Everything is ready and waiting for your arrival. General Geshu, the emperor has sent 30,000 reinforcements and 3,000 Longwu troops. This is great. There has never been anything like this in the Western Regions."  With so many troops, does General Geshu want to fight a few battles?"

    Because of the relationship between Tubo and the poverty of the Western Regions, the Tang Dynasty did not station many troops in the Western Regions, and it was unable to fight some battles.  Now that we have added 30,000 reinforcements, it would be a shame not to fight a few battles properly.

    All the generals had this idea and couldn't help but look at Ge Shuhan, waiting for his words.

    Ge Shuhan did not answer them and said: "We will talk about this later. It is better to arrange for the brothers to camp."

    The station had been prepared a long time ago. With an order, 30,000 Tang troops followed the soldiers from the Western Regions and left in batches. Arrangements were quickly made.

    "General Geshu, please come into the house." Tian Renwan invited him warmly.

    Ge Shuhan did not agree and said: "It's not too late for me to go on a patrol first and then go to the Protector's Mansion." Without waiting for Tian Renwan to speak, Ge Shuhan went to inspect the camp, and Tian Renwan and the generals had to follow.

    By the time the inspection was completed, it was already a waste of time.  The inspection was conducted in an orderly manner without any mistakes. Ge Shuhan was very satisfied and said: "General Tian is very well prepared. I thank Ge Shuhan here."

    Tian Renwan returned the courtesy and said: "General Ge Shuhan's words are serious. This is what I should do. Please come to the Duhu Mansion to speak."

    Brother Shuhan nodded and followed him into the Anxi Protectorate.  After entering the Duhu Mansion, Ge Shuhan looked around and said with a smile: "Nothing has changed. I thought a lot has changed after being away for these years." Ge Shuhan was very happy to return to this familiar place.

    Tian Renwan smiled and said: "The Protectorate has not changed much, but the people have changed a lot. General Geshu has become the general of the Anxi Protectorate. Is this a small change?"

    There was a burst of laughter.

    Ge Shuhan shook his head and said: "General Tian, ??do you know how heavy the burden is on our shoulders? Although the emperor has said that we must guarantee the four towns of Anxi no matter what, but will you be satisfied with this request?"

    "Of course not!" the generals said in unison.

    Protecting the four towns is Tang Xuanzong¡¯s bottom line.p; This cannot be erased because of the defeat of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty.

    The increase of troops in the Western Region is what makes Tian Renwan and the others most happy.  After introducing the situation in the Western Region, it was time to discuss the use of troops. Tian Renwan's eyes lit up: "General Geshu, in which direction do you plan to send troops? In my opinion, it should be directly towards Khorasan. Khorasan is full of cities and has a large population.  , the land is fertile, if we can win it, then our army in the Western Regions will be safe, and we won¡¯t have to worry about food and clothing. The court can also save a lot of military expenses."

    "The general agrees!" Many generals agreed in unison.

    "Khorasan is an important place for the Dashi. If it can be captured by the Tang Dynasty, it will not only solve the supply of the army, but also be closer to the Dashi. There are too many benefits. In the past, we could only think that we could not fight because  The troops on hand are limited. Now, with 30,000 reinforcements, we can fight this battle." Gao Sheji greatly agreed.

    The generals started talking at different times, and the demand for sending troops to Khorasan became louder and louder.  Only Gao Xianzhi sat quietly without any expression.  If it were someone else, he might have been ignored, but Ge Shuhan looked at Gao Xianzhi with bright light and asked, "General Gao, what do you think?"

    Gao Xianzhi stood up and said: "Although your suggestions are good, they cannot be implemented. Khorasan is the important place of Dashi, and it is certainly a rich place. If it can be taken, it will be of great benefit to the Tang Dynasty. However, Dashi is also  Don¡¯t be stupid, there are heavy troops stationed here, if we attack Khorasan now, there will definitely be a fierce battle.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s fight, who is afraid of a vicious battle?¡± A general immediately retorted.

    Gao Xianzhi ignored them and continued: "If someone takes the opportunity to stab us in the back when we are having a fierce fight with Dashi in Khorasan, what should we do then?"

    Gao Sheji disagreed with his statement and said with a straight face: "Xianzhi, don't talk nonsense. Although the Western Region is not very peaceful, it is still passable. General Geshu, don't listen to his nonsense."

    Ge Shuhan waved his hand and encouraged Gao Xianzhi to continue: "General Gao, continue."

    Gao Xianzhi responded: "The Western Region is currently peaceful, and we won't know for a while. As far as I know, Tuqishi has made some changes, and is now getting closer to Dashi. Once they work together, they will take advantage of our large-scale attack on Khorasan."  At that time, the big food attacked in front, and the sudden cavalry caused chaos in the rear. How can we get along?"

    "General Gao, who doesn't know that Tu Qishi and Dashi are big enemies. They have been fighting for so many years. The dead can pile up into a mountain, and the blood can flow out like a river!" Tian Renwan disagreed.

    Gao Xianzhi¡¯s voice became louder: ¡°Not long ago, Dashi sent people to Mo Chuu and also to Sulu. Don¡¯t you know?¡±

    Sulu is the leader of Tuqishi.

    "Is this really true?" Tian Renwan and the others were shocked.  (To be continued. If you want to know about the funeral, please log on to www.qidian.com. There are more chapters. Support the author and support genuine reading!) (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
