Be it Qiuci or Gaochang, who is worthy of fighting against the Tang Dynasty?
To Datang, these are just ants that can be easily crushed to death.
If you want to fight the Tang Dynasty to the death, you don't need to ask anyone else. At the very least, you must first ask if the 100,000 Liangzhou Army will agree.
If you want to fight the Tang Dynasty to the death, then you have to ask Datang's 300,000 border troops if they will agree.
Two thousand Liangzhou troops can wipe out tens of thousands of Kucha troops.
Three thousand Liangzhou troops can control the two Kucha armies and make the Kucha army exhausted.
What if 100,000 Liangzhou troops march westward together?
What would happen if the 300,000 border troops of the Tang Dynasty came to the Western Regions together?
Can Qiuci's army of 100,000 men be able to stop it?
Even if the Western Turks sent troops, they could contain the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Chengqian can also lead the rest of the Liangzhou Army to treat the entire Qiuci and even the entire Western Region as his own hunting grounds and hunt freely.
"Master Yin, I think we have nothing more to say."
"I will never change places before I receive orders from my father."
"And how to march is my business. You have no right to ask, let alone interfere."
Li Chengqian raised his lips and said, "So Master Yin, it's up to you to decide how to deal with things."
Before Yin Zhao could speak, Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "See you off!"
In the end, Yin Zhao could only sigh secretly, and left the Chinese military tent with the soldiers.
Originally, Yin Zhao planned to ask Li Chengqian to give him a verbal promise, saying that he would withdraw from Jiaohe City after the war.
But he can see it, but Li Chengqian can't?
Li Chengqian couldn't say a word of this kind of promise.
After all, he had long made up his mind to take Jiaohe City as his own.
Now, everyone is watching this battlefield.
They all want to see what Li Chengqian will do next how to choose.
After all, control of the Western Region and the recruitment system are what Datang must strive for next.
It can be said that every next operation by Li Chengqian may determine the subsequent historical direction of the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, both Li Chengqian and Datang must be cautious in handling this matter.
If it is too soft, it will inevitably fail to form a deterrent effect in the hearts of the countries in the Western Region.
In this way, Datang's war would be in vain.
But if you are too tough, it directly demonstrates your ambition.
This will inevitably arouse the resentment of the countries in the Western Regions. If it causes all the countries in the Western Regions to succumb to the Western Turks, the gains will outweigh the losses.
After all, considering the current situation of the Tang Dynasty, it is bound to compete with the Western Turks in the territory of the Western Regions.
But this is not what Li Chengqian needs to worry about.
He understands Li Shimin, and he knows that Li Shimin knows how to do it.
Even if Li Shimin couldn't do it well, there would still be a bunch of fox-like characters like Chang Sun Wuji to help him.
What he has to do now is to put enough pressure on the countries in the Western Region to make these guys make the greatest concessions.
So after Yin Zhao left the Liangzhou Army Camp.
Li Chengqian directly ordered the frontline soldiers to attack more crazily and quickly, fighting all day and night.
While the soldiers of Kucha were exhausted, it also made the people of Kucha miserable.
…
At this time, the Western Turks.
Zhao Youlin, accompanied by Jia Yanzhang, wore general armor and led 3,000 soldiers to the territory of Qiuci.
Now the entire eastern part of Qiuci has become the hunting ground of the Liangzhou Army.
Everywhere you can see burning villages and dilapidated houses.

In this scene, Jia Yanzhang said angrily: "This Li Chengqian is really vicious. He doesn't even spare ordinary people."
Hearing this, Zhao Youlin couldn't help but laugh.
"Once upon a time, weren't we the same way?"
Zhao Youlin raised his head slightly and said: "Earlier, when we invaded the Central Plains, we did it more ruthlessly than this."
Hearing this, Jia Yanzhang was stunned.
Then he reacted.
When the grassland nomads invaded the Central Plains, they were indeed more ferocious than this...
As for the so-called heavenly principles, retribution will not be satisfactory.
Now it's their turn.
"However, this is also a good tactic."
Zhao Youlin looked at the messy scene in front of him and said, "If I were in Li Chengqian's position, maybe I would have done more cruelly than him."
"ah?"
Jia Yanzhang looked at Zhao Youlin with a puzzled face and said, "Your Majesty, these are innocent people. Doesn't this mean we have lost the support of the people?"
Here I have to talk about Jia Yanzhang.
Although this guy is a general from a nomadic tribe, he has never killed innocent people indiscriminately since he came to power.
He even went so far as to plead with Zhao Youlin for the people of the enemy country.
"People? People's hearts?"
"When the people take up arms, he is also a soldier and can also cause harm to my men."
Zhao Youlin chuckled and said, "And if you want to tell me these things, then I have to ask you, what is your identity?"
Jia Yanzhang tilted his head, obviously a little confused.
He looked down at the armor on his body and said with some uncertainty: "General?"
"That's right, it's the general."
"And since you are a general, why should you care about the enemy's popular support?"
"All we care about is our own military morale." Zhao Youlin looked at the soldiers behind him and said: "As long as we can win the battle, as long as we can save our brothers from sacrifice, we can do whatever it takes."
Hearing these words, Jia Yanzhang lowered his head.
Obviously, he disagreed.
However, Zhao Youlin said this, and he could not refute it.
After taking one look at him, Zhao Youlin could clearly guess his psychology.
Zhao Youlin shook his head slightly and said: "Okay, don't worry about it. These are not what we should think about. Now we have to think about how to end this war."
Hearing this, Jia Yanzhang raised his head and looked at Zhao Youlin: "Your Majesty, do you want to join the war?"
"Participate in Gemao's battle."
Zhao Youlin shook his head slightly and said: "Don't forget, our country has not yet calmed down."
"That……"
Jia Yanzhang was a little surprised and said: "Then are we just going to watch our country being wiped out by the Tang Dynasty?"
"What else?"
"Take us brothers, who have been fighting for almost two years, to fight against the Tang Dynasty for another two years?"
Zhao Youlin shook his head and sighed: "Now, we can only unite this group of people and let them resist the invasion of the Tang Dynasty."
"But……"
"We are no match for Datang. Can they stop us?"
Jia Yanzhang said bitterly: "I'm afraid, it won't be long before the Western Region falls..."
"Sometimes taking a step back is not necessarily a bad thing."
"Besides, our domestic stability is much more important than that of the Western Regions."
"After all, if the Western Region is lost, we can take it back again, but if there is chaos in the country, it cannot be calmed down easily."
Zhao Youlin sighed softly and said, "This is what Li Chengqian had planned to do a long time ago, otherwise it would have been impossible to launch troops in the Western Regions."
After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh: "This kid Li Chengqian is really getting more and more powerful. He is such an interesting opponent..."
