This is also the task given by the old emperor to his father and son.
However......
Yanqi was previously located between the two great powers of the Western Regions, Qiuci and Cheshi. Both Qiuci and Cheshi had prospered in the past. Therefore, after breaking away from the Longyan Dynasty, the Western Region Protectorate naturally became
furnishings.
Rebuild the Protectorate!
It is equivalent to declaring war with Qiuci and Cheshi at the same time.
"From Shancheng to Cheshi, this desert is the place we must pass through. If Liu Zheng's guess is correct, this is the rumored ghost city in your Western Region, right?"
In the military tent.
Liu Zheng looked at Reguli with a smile.
Reguli was horrified: "Sir, we...can't we go around it? Why don't we go through Loulan and up to Qiuci?"
Several people looked at it at the same time.
This silly Baitian actually has some skills.
Before coming to Loulan, their generals had studied the layout of the Western Region. If they wanted to go north, there were only two roads, one was Qiuci, and the other was Cheshi.
but......
The national power of Qiuci is as strong as Loulan.
The driver is slightly inferior.
This is why, for so many years, I wanted to go to Qiuci, but I didn't have the strength. I wanted to go to Cheshi, but I was swallowed up by the ghost city.
Qingyang Shuo chuckled.
When Liu Zheng saw his expression, he realized that it turned out that Reguli had this wishful thinking from the beginning. Wanted to lend him Yinzhou's 150,000 troops to conquer Qiuci?
He gave Reguli a playful look.
Who would have thought that Reguli didn't hide anything and spoke out: "You and I will join forces to kill all the enemies in the northern and western regions. Why should we be afraid?"
Everyone laughed out loud.
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "Queen Mother, if only things were as simple as you said, that would be great."
Reguli looked confused: "Is it very complicated?"
Liu Zheng pointed at the map of the Western Region, drew a circle on the north with his hand, and asked: "Please look at it, Queen Mother, have you ever thought about the many kingdoms in the Northern Western Region, such as Wusun, Hami, Cheshi, Shan Kingdom, Da
Wan Kingdom..."
"However......"
"What would the Queen Mother think if the entire North Western Region was now ruled by a kingdom?"
"What?"
Reguli's pretty face changed slightly.
All the Loulan soldiers following Reguli also shook their heads.
"impossible!"
"Defender, this is absolutely impossible!"
"There has never been a unified state among the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, not even in the Northern Western Regions."
How is this possible?
Even if it is better than Anxi in history, Khotan, Qiuci, Shancheng, and Dayuezhi have never achieved the unification of the Western Regions, not even the Southern and Western Regions, or the Northern and Western Regions.
Liu Zheng smiled lightly and said: "It's just a hypothesis for now."
Reguli said: "If this is true, then the North Western Region will definitely set up heavy troops in Qiuci and build a majestic city to prevent conquest. From this point of view, the ghost city has the least defense..."
The whole audience was shocked.
The Loulan generals looked at each other in confusion.
How to fight this?
On one side is probably the entire military defense of the entire North Western Region.
Is there a ghost city on one side?
No wonder, after all these years, I haven’t been able to conquer the Northern Western Region!
"impossible!"
"I still don't believe it!"
"How can the Northern and Western Regions be unified?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Reguli also had a look of disbelief. She snorted: "Master Liu, you just don't want to help me Loulan conquer Qiuci, right?"
Yo.
Let’s start playing tricks!
Liu Zheng chuckled and said, "Everyone, if you don't believe me, Zheng has a plan."
In the eyes of everyone.
He said: "Our troops are divided into two groups. The Yinzhou Army will go to Ghost City and Loulan to pretend to attack Qiuci and be ready to retreat at any time."
"If Kucha's defense is strong, the Queen Mother will know whether Liu Zheng's prediction is true or false."
"You can go through the desert and join our Yinzhou Army in Ghost City. What does the Queen Mother think?"
Reguli and the generals looked at each other in shock.
In their hearts, they actually do not believe that the Northern Western Region has been unified. In their hearts, they also do not want to see the legendary ghost city that is more terrifying than hell.
Seeing Reguli's hesitation, Liu Zheng smiled and said: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, if you really go through the desert and join me, Liu Zheng guarantees that the ghost army will be destroyed!"
"What?"
"The Protector..."
"That's a ghost city!"
No one in Loulan believed it. Although the Protector of the Country was powerful, it was a ghost city that even the Longyan Dynasty had never broken through. The ghost army frightened everyone in the world.
Such big talk...
How did he say it?
Liu Zheng smiled: "Your Majesty, just believe me. If I can defeat the ghost army, Your Majesty must comply with one of my requests."
Reguli cast a flirtatious look, seeming to say, just say it, they will all be yours sooner or later...
Liu Zheng's whole body trembled, and he took a deep breath: "I, Yinzhou, will divide the Western Region equally with the Queen Mother!"
Everyone's expression changed immediately.
The whole place was completely silent.
Reguli's body trembled even more. This sentence contained too much information. She suddenly looked at Liu Zheng: "Guardian of the Country, do you want to rebel against Long Yan?"
