Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

Although he heard the antidote, Li Shimin still felt limp and weak all over his body.

Lying in the carriage, he went west to outside the Gaochang Duhu Mansion.

This was originally the capital of Gaochang Kingdom. After Hou Jun gathered to destroy Gaochang, Li Shimin established the Protectorate here to contain the Turks in the west.

There are [-] permanent troops here, all of whom are elite soldiers from the Tang Dynasty.

When Li Shimin's convoy arrived at Gaochang Duhu's Mansion, Li Jing and the Duhu came out to greet them.

The governor of the Gaochang Governor's Mansion is a man in his 30s. Although he wears armor, he has a literary temperament.

Li Shimin got off the carriage, and He Meng supported him.

"Gaochang Metropolitan Protector Xuance pays his respects to the Emperor."

This protector is named Wang Xuance, and was recommended by Su Yu.

This Wang Xuance is very famous, and he will be needed to lead troops to attack Tianzhu in the future.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "I've been here for several years, how's the situation?"

Wang Xuance paid homage: "After the minister arrived at the Duhu Mansion, he rectified his defenses and guarded the Hexi Corridor. The Western Turks have never had a single horse."

After arriving at Gaochang Duhu Mansion, Wang Xuance set up two lines of defense at the Duhu Mansion and Yumen Pass, and the army could not get through.

The Western Turks were pinned down in the desert of the Western Regions.

Li Shimin said happily: "Since you guarded Gaochang, the west side of the Tang Dynasty has been very stable. I am very relieved."

As he spoke, Li Shimin walked in, and Li Zhi came out to greet him.

Wang Xuance didn't see Su Yu, so he asked Old Chen, "Where is your son? Didn't you come?"

He clearly heard from Li Jing that Su Yu and Li Shimin would arrive later, but now that Li Shimin arrived, Su Yu was not there.

Old Chen smiled and said, "It's in the carriage."

Chen Yuan said outside the carriage: "My lord, we have arrived at Gaochang Dufu."

Su Yu got out of the carriage.

Wang Xuance was overjoyed to see Su Yu.

"Greetings to the young master, it's been five years, how is the young master?"

Wang Xuance bowed deeply.

Back then Wang Xuance was just a small official, it was Su Yu's strong recommendation that Li Shimin let him take up the post of Protectorate.

Gaochang Dufu is an important town, and serving here is also a feudal lord.

So he is very grateful to Su Yu.

"I'm fine in Chang'an City, but you've worked hard in this desert."

Su Yu laughed.

Wang Xuance smiled sheepishly and said, "It's not hard, thanks to the karez mentioned by the young master, as well as grapes and cantaloupe, we have a good life here."

When he left Chang'an City, Su Yu gave Wang Xuance many seeds and some skills.

Here, according to what Su Yu said, Wang Xuance managed Gaochang well.

Su Yu looked at Gaochang City, very angry, not like a pure frontier defense stronghold.

"Yes, well done."

Su Yu laughed.

Isa got out of the carriage and followed behind.

When Wang Xuance saw Isa, he was taken aback.

"Princess of the Great Food Kingdom?"

Wang Xuance said in surprise.

Old Chen turned his head and looked at Yisha in surprise, and asked, "She is the Western Turkic assassin I met on the road, how can she be the princess of Dashi Kingdom?"

Su Yu said: "The Great Food Kingdom is currently in civil strife, and she is one of them. She fled from the Great Food Kingdom to the Western Regions."

Just now in the carriage, Su Yu asked a few words casually, knowing her identity.

Su Yu is very clear about what happened in history.

Without Yisha saying it himself, he knew that the Great Food Kingdom in Central Asia was fighting among themselves at this time.

Cheng Yaojin muttered: "So it's a princess, no wonder she's so beautiful."

Speaking of the past, Princess Isa bowed her head and did not want to say anything.

Su Yu smiled and said, "Go in."

After entering Gaochang City, the people inside live a very good life, without the slightest misery in the frontier.

The army was stationed in Gaochang City, and Li Shimin entered the main hall.

Su Yu went to take a bath, but didn't go in.

Sitting in the hall, Li Jing and Wang Xuance took the lead, followed by a group of generals.

Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang, Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaidao, these young generals.

Xu Shiji and Cheng Yaojin are generals of the older generation.

Li Shimin said: "Wang Duhu."

Wang Xuance stood up and bowed, "The last general is here."

Li Shimin was very happy and said: "Wang Duhu has done a good job. I heard that Gaochang City is the most prosperous place in the Western Regions."

"Today, I went to the city to see it. It is really good. There is no shortage of melons, fruits and food."

Wang Xuance replied: "Qizou Emperor, it is spring now, and there are few melons and fruits. If summer and autumn come, there will be more melons and fruits."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Okay, very good."

Li Jing said: "When the general came to Gaochang City, he was very surprised."

"I didn't expect Gaochang City to be so rich."

They came a few days earlier, and they were more familiar with Gaochang City, but also more surprised.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Very good. After the Western Regions are pacified, I think you can lead the Western Regions."

Wang Xuance was overjoyed, the Western Regions Protector was comparable to the power of being a king.

"The end will not dare."

Wang Xuance paid homage.

Li Shimin smiled and said: "You discuss with Li Weigong, our army has arrived, and the Western Turks should make some movement."

"The army rests on the spot and prepares for the battle."

Wang Xuance took the order, and Li Shimin asked everyone to disperse.

Back in the room, Wang Xuance made arrangements for Li Shimin.

A large tub was filled with hot water.

In a place like Gaochang, bathing is a luxury.

Not to mention that Su Yu has arrived in Gaochang City.

Let's say that Ashina Helu is waiting for news from the leader of the assassins in Mohe City.

Waited for a long time, but did not hear a reply.

Sitting in the Mohecheng tooth tent, He Lu became a little restless.

Wang Ziyun walked in and said, "Father Khan, just received the news that Li Jing's army has arrived in Gaochang, Su Yu and Li Shimin have also arrived, they are not dead."

The spies near Gaochang City got the news and immediately sent it back to Mohe City.

He Lu got up and asked, "Did they miss?"

Wang Ziyun said: "Su Yu and Li Shimin arrived in Gaochang City safely, it looks like they are."

"That Su Yu doesn't seem to have earned his reputation, but has some skills."

The team of assassins they sent was actually not weak, and they were very famous in the Western Regions.

They have assassinated many powerful people.

Wang Ziyun asked: "Father Khan, what should we do now?"

He Lu walked back and forth in the room, and said coldly: "Wait a minute, the people in Zhishedi should also go to Gaochang City."

"I know Su Yu is amazing, let me see how the Tang army is doing."

Counting the time, it was time for the [-] cavalry from Zhishedi to arrive at Gaochang City.

Wang Ziyou nodded and said: "Yes, the people in Zhishedi should be here."

After thinking about it, Xi Yun said, "Father Khan, it seems that the mother of the wizard Kuti has also gone to Gaochang."

He Lu was stunned for a moment, then said with a smirk, "Did that old witch go to take revenge?"

"His son died in Chang'an City. It is said that Su Yu killed him."

"Whether it's true or not, Su Yu's account is on Su Yu's head. It's a good thing that the old witch seeks revenge from him."

He Lu thought for a while, and said to Xi Yun: "Go and contact the tribe in Xiamonan, tell them that the army of Tang Dynasty is coming, let them think about what to do."

There are many nomadic tribes in Monan, and they usually don't listen to He Lu's words.

Now that foreign enemies are invading, He Lu wants to take the opportunity to win them over to fight together.

He Yun hesitated and said: "These people don't usually obey, so I'm afraid to say it at this time."

He wanted to say that he was afraid of having a hot face and a cold butt.

He Lu said coldly: "You just go, pass a message first."

He Lu's family has the strength of the three clans, so if he can't defeat him, he should have a way out.

He Yun took the order and immediately took people to Monan himself.
