Chapter 209: Conquering Jiang Si, entering Shazhou, and gaining fame as the King of Beiliang!

The gate of Jiange opened wide, and Li Changan, dressed in black armor and robe, rode out on his horse.

Gu Dazu, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Huaiding followed behind, and the group rushed to the Guihan army camp, where the soldiers were already ready.

The soldiers were thin and dark, but their eyes were still burning.

Li Changan could see tenacity and perseverance in the eyes of these people. It was truly rare for them to persist in the barbarian-occupied area for more than ten years.

These soldiers were all watching the famous Tang King. The young prince led 10,000 men to kill 70,000 foreign men.

In the eyes of the soldiers, he is simply a god!

Zhang Huaiding shouted to the soldiers in the camp, "Brothers!"

"From today on, we are the Guiyi Army under the command of King Tang!"

"We don't belong to Northern Han, we don't belong to Liyang, we only belong to justice!"

Hearing this new name, the soldiers began to mutter to each other.

"Return the Righteous Army!"

“It sounds pretty impressive!”

"From now on, I can fight under the command of King Tang!"

"Your Majesty, can we also kill 70,000 with 10,000?"

"Your Majesty, if we had enough armor and food, we could fight our way through the Western Regions!"

Li Changan said in a deep voice, "You have submitted to me, and you have submitted to justice!"

"Before you, you were the lonely loyalists in the Northwest!"

"From now on, you remain loyal, but you are no longer alone!"

Hearing the description of Northwest Loyalist, many soldiers had tears in their eyes.

They thought that they would eventually perish in a sea of ​​enemies.

But Li Changan came out and King Tang came, bringing them hope!

"Listen carefully to this king!"

"Not only must you kill 70,000 with 10,000, but you must also recover all seven counties of Shazhou!"

"What are Fanren, Rongren, and Huren?"

"Those who listen to good words can stay and be watchdogs, dancing and singing to liven up the party!"

"If you don't obey, your entire family will be slaughtered and your whole family will be wiped out!"

When they heard that the Hu people were asked to dance, many soldiers laughed.

After all, when the Central Plains was strong, they were always good at singing and dancing.

After Li Changan finished speaking, hope rekindled in the eyes of the Guiyi Army soldiers!
"Your Majesty said it well!"

"Recover the seven counties, recover Dunhuang City!"

"All the Tartars and barbarians should be exterminated!"

When everyone was excited, Li Changan sent out 5,000 Guiyi Army templates.

Afterwards, Li Changan allocated food and fodder to the Guiyi Army.

It was just as he said, he treated the Guiyi Army and his own army the same.

It's quiet at night.

Jiang Si, who was hiding in the dark, was now terrified and her face flushed. She felt like she was betrayed.

In the past few months, she and Qingniao were the closest, because the other women were Li Changan's concubines.

She and Qinniao are the prince's guards. They make a living based on their own abilities, not by using their beauty to please others!

But just now, she saw Bluebird and the prince together!
Bluebird was held in Li Changan's arms and entered Bluebird's room.

Then, there were bursts of happy sounds, and Jiang Si was stunned!
It turns out that Blue Bird had been captured by the prince a long time ago. No wonder Blue Bird had so much money!

It turns out that this guy has two jobs as a concubine and a bodyguard, so of course his salary is high!

Jiang Si leaned against the door, her heart pounding!

Brother Changan has so many women, can he handle it? Can his body bear it?
At this moment, there was a devilish knock on the door from behind!

Jiang Si was immediately scared out of her wits. Could it be that the prince had come?

"Xiao Si, open the door."

Li Changan's tone was calm, but Jiang Si's body froze.

However, she didn't know what she was thinking and actually opened the door.

Li Changan, standing at the door, did not show any of the indifference he showed during the day.

After he entered, he locked the door out of habit.

Then, Li Changan took Jiang Si's hand and seemed to be talking to himself.

"Xiao Si, do you think you can run away?"

Jiang Si's face turned red and her breathing became rapid. She was too nervous.

"Changan...Brother..."

"It's so late...what are you doing?"

Jiang Si felt extremely stupid when she said this.

Then she closed her eyes and threw herself into Li Changan's arms.

Li Changan used his hand to feel Jiang Si's thundering heartbeat.

"Xiao Si shouldn't be called Princess Taiping."

Jiang Si's whole body was soft and her voice was sweet and seductive.

"Brother Chang'an, what title should Xiao Si be given as princess?"

Li Changan manipulated her several times, and Jiang Si became as soft as if she had no bones, and her whole body was limp.

"She should be called Princess Buping! How can she be called Ping?"

Jiang Si's beautiful face is now even more breathtakingly beautiful.

Jiang Si lay in Li Changan's arms, "Brother Changan, is Xiao Si beautiful?"

Li Changan said, "Beautiful! But just being beautiful is not enough."

"My woman must be both beautiful and useful!"

Jiang Si gently kissed Li Changan's cheek, "Please enjoy it, Your Majesty..."

A strong wind blew, causing the door panels to hit the wall continuously.

The sounds became more rapid and the impacts became more violent.

At this point, Jiang Si suddenly realized.

It turns out that Bluebird not only has two jobs and earns two salaries, she also enjoys double the happiness!

……

Now, Li Changan's army has 20,000 people, of which 12,000 have fused templates.

After Li Changan's army had rested in Jiange Pass, they handed over this pass to the belated Western Shu Daofu soldiers.

Li Changan, who was allowed to only maintain 6,000 private soldiers according to regulations, went out of the border with more than 20,000 people!

With no worries behind him, Li Changan's destination was the three counties of Shazhou.

Although the three counties of Shazhou are now in the hands of the Han people, they are nominally in the hands of the imperial court.

However, this place was greatly influenced by Xu Xiao.

Before leaving, Li Changan specially asked the Jinyiwei to deliver a letter to the White-robed Guanyin.

There was no other purpose, just to tell her that Li Changan was going to Shazhou.

If the Six-Jewel Dharma King is smart, he will come and pay his respects to him immediately.

The news that the Western Shu Road was invaded by Shanshan and then quickly defeated by Li Changan reached Tai'an City.

The Minister of War Gu Jiantang, who had just reorganized the troops, was shocked!

He was originally ordered by the emperor to gather 100,000 soldiers and go to the Western Shu Road to resist Shanshan.

However, before the army set out, Shanshan had already been defeated.

"Li Changan led 10,000 men and annihilated 70,000 Shanshan troops, and the remaining troops of Murong Fuyun retreated!"

"The entire Gui Han army has surrendered to Li Changan. Li Changan has already left Jiange and is heading to Shazhou to take up his fiefdom!"

"This! It turns out to be the battle record of the descendants of Southern Tang!"

This former great general who destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty could not believe the facts before him.

The Emperor of the Hong family who surrendered without a fight actually gave birth to such a capable fighting son!

Moreover, only Xu Xiao has achieved this kind of record of defeating the enemy with a smaller force!
Gu Jiantang himself was prudent in using his troops, and had never been so brilliant before.

Zhao Chun looked serious, but also felt very grateful.

"Gu Qing, no matter what, this is a good thing."

"Shanshan has been hit hard by the crowd. I'm afraid it won't be able to make any waves for several years."

"You don't have to lead the expedition to the northwest in person. Just send a few tens of thousands of soldiers to guard Jiange." The emperor said it was a good thing, but what Gu Jiantang saw was a face full of worry.

However, he was not a close minister of Zhao Chun, and the emperor would not confide in him.

Zhao Chun gave a few simple instructions and let Gu Jiantang leave.

Imperial tutor Yuan Benxi and then Gu Jiantang came to see the emperor.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty!"

“Although it’s a bit unexpected, Li Changan is acting according to our opportunities.”

"As long as he goes to Shazhou, he will not be able to escape the death trap we have set for him!"

Zhao Chun said, "But Li Changan's development is too fast."

"He has many Vajra Finger Mystic masters under his command, and even some at the Celestial Realm."

"Cao Changqing, who broke into Tai'an City two years ago, was unable to break into Li Chang'an's military camp."

"This Li Changan's strength has grown beyond belief!"

Yuan Benxi consoled him, "Twenty thousand men are insignificant compared to Beiliang's 350,000 soldiers and horses!"

"What's more, there is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation between Beiliang and Li Changan,"

"Because the 200,000 refugees in Qingcang County, Shazhou, are Xu Xiao's Achilles' heel."

"Let's just wait for them to kill each other."

Northern Liang Prince's Mansion.

Xu Xiao moved the chess pieces on the board, looking helpless.

"Damn it, Li Changan, are you taking away the luck I had when I was young?"

"Ten thousand killed seventy thousand, this is too fierce. Feng Nian is in his hands, and I can't send troops directly."

"The 200,000 refugees in Qingcang County must not be accepted by Li Changan."

Beiliang used 200,000 refugees to raise Gu as a means of preparing for the future.

These refugees now have a deep hatred for Beiliang, so it is impossible for Li Changan to accept them.

What Xu Xiao was most worried about was that the Gui Han army would also surrender to Li Changan.

"Fortunately, Zhang Yichao was kidnapped by a traitor..."

"If he were here, the situation would be even more troublesome!"

Li Yishan said, "Zhang Yichao has a long-standing reputation in Shazhou."

"One third of those refugees had been under his rule."

"We drove the Gui Han army out of the three counties of Shazhou, but we didn't expect them to survive."

"Your Majesty, we must take Li Changan's matter seriously."

"Let Chen Zhibao prepare. We need to transfer more troops to the western front."

"When Li Changan returns the prince, there will be a battle between us and Shazhou!"

Xu Xiao slammed the table and said, "It should have been done long ago. I wanted to let Li Changan be Fengnian's whetstone!"

"Now, Li Changan is going to become my whetstone!"

Within the sandbar.

Li Changan sent a hundred elite Jinyiwei into Yumen County to rescue Zhang Yichao.

Li Changan can threaten White-robed Guanyin to come see him, but he cannot force White-robed Guanyin to hand over Zhang Yichao.

Shanshan was defeated and Li Changan was about to arrive in Shazhou.

It is possible that the commander of Anxi, Waleng, killed Zhang Yichao on his own initiative.

After all, no matter how deep the hatred between Waleng and Shanshan is, the Gui Han army is their common enemy.

The commander of Yumen County was just a first-class warrior, so the Jinyiwei used the safest method.

They lurked for more than ten days, got to know the local situation, and then kidnapped the guard's family in a temple.

In the end, the Jinyiwei used these family members to replace Zhang Yichao.

When Li Changan set foot on the border of the three Han counties in Shazhou, the famous northwestern general Zhang Yichao finally came under his command!
Li Changan set up his military camp on a Gobi desert covered with yellow sand.

In the central military tent, Zhang Yichao paid a visit to Li Changan.

His face was weather-beaten, but his eyes were as firm as iron. This fifty-year-old general did not show any signs of fatigue!
"I, the humble general of the Guiyi Army, Zhang Yichao, pay my respects to His Majesty the King of Tang!"

"Shazhou has been suffering from the barbarians and savages for decades!"

"When I was about to die, I finally met the Heavenly Army and the King's Division!"

Li Changan knew that Zhang Yichao's return was not because Li Changan saved his life.

Instead, Li Changan fought a bloody battle with Shanshan and treated the Guiyi Army sincerely.

Moreover, Li Changan was ambitious to recover the seven counties of Shazhou.

There is a general in the Zhixuan period who joins the Li Dui!
Name: Zhang Yichao
Age: 50 years old

Realm: First-class warrior (referring to the middle stage of Xuan realm)
Talents: Commander (second rank), Military Strategy (second rank)

Abilities: Commander (second rank), Military Strategy (second rank)

Emotion: 90
The two generals, Zhang Yichao and Gu Dazu, were very powerful in themselves.

Whether in his own cultivation or in leading troops in battle, he is first-rate.

Li Changan firmly believed that it would not be long before Zhang Yichao would completely surrender.

Li Changan helped Zhang Yichao up and let him sit comfortably on the chair below Gu Dazu.

"General Zhang, this is my first time in Shazhou, so I need your guidance."

Zhang Yichao said, "The three counties of Jinchang, Kuitun, and Qingcang occupied by the Han people are now different."

"Jinchang is the richest, and is controlled by several large families."

"Although the county magistrate was appointed by the imperial court, he had already been bribed by Xu Xiao."

"Qingcang is basically full of refugees, and the government is useless."

"Kuitun in the middle is somewhere in between, and is mainly engaged in trade with various parties in the Western Regions."

Although Li Changan had already obtained intelligence about the three counties, Zhang Yichao still knew many details better.

In the military tent, everyone listened to Zhang Yichao for a long time and completely understood the situation in Shazhou.

Zhang Yichao finally said, "Your Majesty may follow the order to enter Jinchang County and take control of Jinchang City first."

"Then spend one or two years to pacify the internal forces and make friends with Xu Xiao."

"After that, it will take another seven or eight years to gradually deploy troops and consolidate the three counties."

"It will probably take more than ten years for the prince to recover the three lost counties!"

Li Changan patted Zhang Yichao on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, General. It won't take that long."

"I will definitely let you step into Dunhuang City in person!"

Zhang Yichao knew how amazing Li Changan was, but deep down he didn't quite believe it.

A few days later, Li Changan led his troops to the city of Jinchang!
A desolate ancient city stands in the wind and sand.

The cities in the northwest are far less exquisite than those in the Central Plains.

Although this place is now in the hands of the Han people, it has been attacked many times by the Hu and Fan peoples.

Li Cunxiao's voice was heard not far from the city gate.

"The King of Tang is going to Shazhou. Who dares to block his way?"

Li Changan didn't expect that even though he came with his troops, there were still people who were so blind as to block his way.

These people are so out of touch with the news. Aren’t they afraid that Li Changan will lead his troops to attack the city?
At this time, a rude voice came out.

"What King Tang? I've never heard of him!"

"This is Jinchang City, we only listen to Governor Huang!"

"Who knows if you are foreign spies?"

Li Changan looked from afar and saw a burly soldier yelling at Li Cunxiao in a fierce voice.

"Black-faced man, let me tell you, the Northwest only knows the King of Beiliang!"

"What kind of king are you? Come and pay your respects in person!"

"Otherwise, with one letter from Governor Huang, the Northern Liang cavalry will come sweeping in!"

His words were extremely arrogant and could be heard clearly from dozens of feet away.

Zhang Yichao whispered, "Your Highness, there are not many soldiers in the city. They are just borrowing Xu Xiao's power."

"Why don't we use courtesy before force... I'm familiar with their numbers, so I'll go and negotiate with them first."

Li Changan chuckled and said, "Don't worry, General Zhang. Let the young people handle this matter."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a head flying high in the distance!
A stream of blood shot out from the soldier's severed neck!
As the blood splattered, Li Cunxiao shouted and cursed.

"Fuck you, King Beiliang!"
