    Yan Liang glanced down, and when he saw who was speaking, a smile appeared on Yingwu's face.  .

    A happy smile.

    The person who spoke was slightly pale, but his eyes were shining with a bit of vitality.

    That person was none other than Guo Jia, the ghost scheming man.

    During the battle of Luokou City, Guo Jia, Cao Cao's counselor, was captured by Yan Liang and became Yan Liang's prisoner.

    Yan Liang admired this scheming man very much and naturally wanted to use him for his own purposes.

    It¡¯s a pity that Guo Jia was critically ill at that time and only had half his life left.

    Of course, Yan Liang did not want such a great counselor to die, so he ordered the miracle doctor Zhang Zhongjing to do his best to treat Guo Jia.

    ???????? Zhang Zhong¡¯s medical skills are indeed very good. After careful treatment and several years of recuperation, he was able to bring Guo Jia, a man who had one foot into the gate of hell, back.

    With the grace of survival and courtesy and generous treatment, Guo Jia's thoughts have also undergone earth-shaking changes after he was reborn.

    This scheming man's attitude towards Yan Liang has changed from hatred to gratitude.

    Therefore, during the Western Expedition to the Western Regions, although Yan Liang did not ask Guo Jia to accompany him, Guo Jia took the initiative to make a request and wanted to accompany Yan Liang on the expedition, follow Yan Liang, and offer his plans.

    Yan Liang appreciates Guo Jia's invitation.

    Yan Liang knew very well that Guo Jia's invitation represented his complete surrender and that the trace of influence left by Cao Cao had been completely eliminated.

    Feeling relieved and happy, Yan Liang took Guo Jia with him to the Western Regions.

    When Gaochangbi was surrounded, Guo Jia was different and expressed different opinions from others.

    "Gaochangbi is an important place in the Western Region. Now the situation is critical. Fengxiao, but you are not in a hurry to save me. I would like to hear, what is your reason?" Yan Liang said with interest.

    Guo Jia smiled lightly and said: "The Western Region is a vast area of ??thousands of miles, and the countries are distributed in the north and south. Many cities are located in the Gobi oasis. Even the locals sometimes have difficulty finding them. If our troops leave Gaochangbi and conquer along the road,  The enemy forces are resisting everywhere, and I don¡¯t know how long it will take to defeat the Western Region.¡±

    At this point, Yan Liang had vaguely guessed what Guo Jia meant, but did not interrupt him.

    "Now that the people from the Western Regions are taking the initiative to attack, and all the troops of the five countries are gathered in Gaochang, why don't your majesty slow down the march and try your best to lure all the troops and horses of the five countries to the wall of Gaochang, and then your majesty will send troops out of Yumen to annihilate them in one fell swoop.  "Yeah." Guo Jia took his time and told his plan.

    Yan Liang nodded slightly, and a smile of approval appeared on Yingwu's face.

    Guo Jia's plan is somewhat similar to Cao Cao's attempt to pacify Guanzhong in history.

    In that battle, Cao Cao was not in a hurry to attack Guanzhong and induced Ma Chao, Han Sui and other ten princes in Guanzhong to gather more than 100,000 troops at Tongguan. However, Cao Cao defeated them in one battle. The vast land of Guanlong was very  It was soon settled.

    There are more than 30 countries in the Western Regions. The terrain is much wider than Guanlong, and their cities are located in the Gobi oasis. The roads between cities are difficult. It would be unwise to attack one city after another.

    "What Fengxiao said is absolutely true. There are five thousand soldiers in the Gaochang Wall, and the barrier is strong. Even if the soldiers of the five countries gather together, they may not be able to capture it in a short time. Your Majesty just takes this time to lure the soldiers of the five countries to come forward.  Come, send out more troops and annihilate them in one fell swoop at the foot of Gaochang." Xu Shu also agreed with Guo Jia's strategy.

    The two advisers all had the same opinion, and Yan Liang had even more doubts.

    At that moment, Yan Liang ordered the army to slow down its march and try to delay the time for the troops to leave Yumen Pass.

    At the same time, Yan Liang sent Pegasus to Gaochangbi and conveyed an order to Wu Yi, ordering him to defend Gaochangbi at all costs and never abandon the city.

    After the decree was passed down, the 30,000 dragon cavalry guards led by Yan Liang immediately slowed down their march.

    The former army led by Zhao Yun, Wen Chou and others also slowed down.

    Wu Yi, who was in the Gaochang Wall, originally expected the emperor to lead his army to help, but he received an order that told him to defend the Gaochang Wall and not retreat even a step.

    Wu Yi had no choice but to boost morale and build more walls day and night to resist the siege of the Western Regions.

    Although Wu Yi was a reduced general, his family members were all in Yizhou. Yan Liang was not worried about his loyalty at all, otherwise he would not have entrusted him with the important task of guarding Gaochangbi.

    The most important thing is that today is different from the past. Now that Yan Liang has conquered the world, Wu Yi has no other choice but to serve the Chu State.

    So, 80,000 Chu army cavalry slowly walked in LiangzhouOn the Chi Road, and in the Gobi Desert of the Western Regions, tens of thousands of Western Region troops gathered along the north and south roads toward Gaochangbi day and night.

    In half a month, the Western Region Legion gathered at the foot of Gaochang's wall reached more than 60,000 troops. This number has exceeded half of the total military strength of the Western Region countries.

    ¡­¡­

    Outside Gaochang Wall, tents one after another, like umbrellas, are dotted around the barrier.

    A series of camps surrounded the entire Gaochangbi. Between the camps, there were soldiers from the Western Regions of different shapes and sizes, and they could be seen everywhere.

    The elites of the five major countries, the sixty to seventy thousand Western Region Corps, surrounded the only barrier of Chu in the Western Region.

    To the west of the surrounding camp, groups of camels snaked like long snakes, crossing the endless Gobi Desert and entering the oasis where Gaochang City was located, delivering the supplies of each [***] regiment to the camp outside the city.  .

    In the huge pointed tent, there was a lot of music and alcohol.

    More than a dozen fair-skinned and beautiful orchids from the Western Regions were dancing gracefully to Hu music. Their naked white bellies and long legs made everyone secretly slander them.

    Among the five major kingdoms, King Bijia of Yanqi and Shulizhe of Shanshan all personally led their elite troops to come. The other three major kingdoms also each sent their generals to lead their troops to Gaochangbi.

    King Pijia of Yanqi sat high on the throne, frequently raising glasses, calling on the allies of the four countries to drink wine.

    Gaochangbi is the gateway to the Western Regions. As soon as the Chu army came out of Gaochangbi, the first one to be attacked was Yanqi State. Therefore, the alliance would attack, and Pijia was the most active.

    This time, he was both the host and the commander-in-chief of the Western Region Allied Forces, commanding the armies of the five countries to attack Gaochangbi.

    When the Chu army leaves Gaochangbi, they can attack Yanqi by taking the north road, and they can attack Shanshan first by taking the south road. Therefore, this time the plowman also personally led his army to join the alliance.

    As for the other three countries, since Yanqi and Shanshan were blocking the front, they were not so anxious and only sent their generals to lead their troops.

    In addition to the two kings of the Western Regions and the generals of the Three Kingdoms, there is another person sitting at the bottom of the table as a distinguished guest.

    That man was none other than Sima Lang, the envoy of the Fire Worshipers.

    The alliance of various countries will attack Gaochang. It can be said that Sima Lang is the real manipulator behind the scenes.

    "Sima Zuo, I wonder when the Persian Emperor will send troops to the Western Regions to help us fight against Chu's invasion?" Yanqi asked Sima Lang with a smile.

    The reason why Sima Lang was able to form this alliance was, on the one hand, because the Chu State's conquest made the countries in the Western Regions see the crisis of overthrow.

    On the other hand, it was because Sima Lang promised the kings of all countries that in the near future, the Persian emperor would lead a million-strong army to the Western Regions to help in the war.

    The kings of various countries know very well that the so-called million-strong army is of course meant to scare people, but Persia is a large Western country comparable to the Chu Dynasty. Even if there is no million-strong army, there are still hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.

    As long as the Persian army comes to the Western Regions to help in the war, there is nothing to fear from Chu's invasion.

    Sima Lang coughed dryly and said with a smile: "Don't be impatient, everyone. Persia is now mobilizing slaves across the country to build a road through Congling. Once this road is built, the Persian Emperor and our Pope will personally lead an army of millions.  , come to the Western Region.¡±

    Congling is a mountain range that separates the central and western regions. If Persia wants to enter the Western Regions on a large scale, it must overcome the barrier of this mountain range.

    Sima Lang¡¯s words made all the leaders of the Western Regions present feel happy and excited, and their fighting spirit suddenly surged.

    "This time I, the Great Persia Kingdom, have come not only to help you repel the invasion of Chu, but also to take advantage of the situation and lead your troops to march eastward and capture the rich and prosperous China in one fell swoop. Please wait patiently.  "Sima Lang promised another big cake.

    This big picture cake is so tempting that Pijia and others were all pleasantly surprised.

    In the eyes of people from the Western Regions, the Chu Kingdom in the Middle Kingdom is a paradise-like existence, a symbol of prosperity and fertility.

    Since ancient times, these kings of the Western Regions have collected silk and other valuable items purchased from China as treasures.

    If they follow the Persian army and enter the Middle Kingdom, it means that the rich Middle Kingdom will be robbed and taken captive by them.

    That is simply a good thing that they never dare to dream about.

    Under this huge temptation, these leaders of the Western Regions suddenly became extremely excited and began to think of a bright future.

    A sly smile appeared on Sima Lang's lips, but he added: "You don't have to be too optimistic. Our first priority right now is to capture the Gaochang Wall before the Chu army arrives. Only by capturing this city can we  Block the Chu army in the east of the Western Region,Defend until the Persian army enters the Western Region.  "

    As soon as Gaochang City was mentioned, Pijia and other leaders from the Western Regions fell silent again.

    Pijia sighed: "Speaking of capturing the city of Gaochang, it is not easy. I never thought that the Chu people are so capable of fighting. Wu Yi in the city stopped ten of us with just a few thousand soldiers and horses."  The siege of twice the army is really unimaginable. "

    Sima Lang sneered: "This Wu Yi is just a traitor from the previous dynasty. There is nothing to worry about. Don't worry, I will teach you how to make a weapon called a thunder chariot. With this weapon, you can destroy Gaochang City."  That¡¯s it.¡±

    The countries in the Western Regions are technologically backward and have never heard of such a magical weapon as the "Thunderbolt Chariot". Now when Sima Lang said that there is such a weapon in the world, which can destroy Gaochang City, everyone was surprised and happy.

    The spirit of all the leaders of the Western Regions immediately cheered up again, and their confidence doubled for a while. They were all waiting to build this thunder chariot before attacking Gaochang City.

    At this moment, he saw a woman on the next step and said disdainfully: "I have strong soldiers and horses from the Western Regions, so why are they all gathered at the foot of Gaochang Bi? I am willing to lead an army to spare Gaochang Bi, directly enter Yumen Pass, and sweep Liangzhou of Chu State."  "

    The crowd seemed to see it, but only recognized that the "eloquence" was the daughter of the king of the king, Princess Yuesha.  (To be continued.)
