    Outside Suiye City, a hundred thousand troops gathered, forming military formations and purging each faction.  These 100,000 troops were the vanguard troops led by Yang Sixu. They were the first batch of troops to launch the attack.  This is a supreme honor. All the soldiers hold their heads high, high-spirited and extremely proud.  Defeating the big food is a supreme good thing. Being able to participate in this battle is a matter of pride for a lifetime.  Not to mention, they are the vanguard and the first army to launch an attack. Who can not be proud?  Zhang Yue came riding a tall horse, surrounded by Chen Xuanli, Yang Sixu, Xue Zhi and other generals.  Arriving in front of the military formation, Zhang Shuo pulled the reins and the horse stopped.  After glancing at the soldiers, he saw that the soldiers were full of fighting spirit. They were very satisfied and began to lecture, saying: "Brothers: Sixty years ago, the Great Eclipse marched eastward and destroyed Persia. When Persia was destroyed, it sent troops twice.  The envoy arrived in Chang'an and asked Emperor Taizong for help. Emperor Taizong thought again and again, thinking that the journey was too long and that the Tang Dynasty would not be able to send troops. This was a pity for the Tang Dynasty. Today, we will march westward to complete Emperor Taizong's mission.  Jing's last wish: Defeat the big food!" Raising his right hand high, he swung it down with extraordinary momentum and the power of thunder.  "Destroy the big food!" "Destroy the big food!" The soldiers' eyes were shining, their fighting spirit was high, and they roared like mountains.  Tang Taizong's refusal to send troops was not only a regret for Tang Taizong, but also a regret for the people of the Tang Dynasty.  Today, we are finally going to attack the Arab Empire, and we can finally fulfill Tang Taizong's unfinished wish. How can the soldiers not be happy?  "You are the vanguard army. You are the first to set off. You have to open roads across mountains and build bridges when encountering water. Make all preparations for the army's attack. Do you have confidence?" Zhang said again asked.  "Yes!" There was only one word in reply, but it was so powerful that the roar reached straight into the sky.  Zhang said he nodded with satisfaction and nodded to Yang Sixu.  Yang Sixu pulled the reins of his horse and took a few steps forward. His eyes were shining as he glanced at the soldiers and began to lecture: "I glanced at them like this. I found that the fighting spirit in your eyes was so high that you wanted to fight the big food dog immediately. This  "Very good." "Haha." Although Yang Sixu was born as a eunuch, he was very knowledgeable and proficient in military skills. It was a matter of great pride for the soldiers to admire him and to win his praise.  Laughter.  "But this is not enough! Far from enough!" Yang Sixu changed the topic and said coldly: "Because you are not ruthless enough!" Cruel?  Zhang said with a raised eyebrow.  Yang Sixu is indeed a ruthless person.  The word "ruthless" cannot be left behind when opening or closing one's mouth.  Not only Zhang Shuo had this idea, but also generals such as Chen Xuanli and Xue Zhi also had the same idea.  Yang Sixu is known as a ruthless person.  He mentioned the word "harsh" in front of so many people. I wonder what the meaning of the word "harsh" was in his imagination?  "You must be thinking that the life-and-death fight on the battlefield is already ruthless enough, how can it not be ruthless enough, right?" Yang Sixu asked himself and answered, "Although the fight on the battlefield is ruthless, it is not ruthless enough!  You will fight with me, and what I want to tell you is: Anyone who blocks the advancement of the Tang Dynasty will die! Anyone who is an enemy of the Tang Dynasty will die! Anyone who does not surrender to the Tang Dynasty will die" He said in one breath!  Nearly ten words of death were spoken, which shocked the soldiers and stunned them all.  Generals Zhang Shuo, Chen Xuanli and Xue Zhi were frightened when they heard this.  ¡° I had known for a long time that Yang Sixu was ruthless, but after listening to his current lecture, I realized how ruthless he had become.  This is shocking enough, but there is something even more shocking. Just listen to Yang Sixu continue to lecture: "Not only do you want them to die, but you also want them to die badly! Not only do they not want to die well, but their relatives and friends also want to die badly!"  " Killing people can only be done with a nod of the head. Yang Sixu wants people to die badly. You don't need to think about it to know that he must have very cruel methods to torture people. Those who are enemies of the Tang Dynasty will definitely be worse than death if they fall into his hands.  .  "Did you hear that clearly?" Yang Sixu asked loudly.  "You hear me clearly!" the soldiers replied loudly.  "Can you do it?" Yang Sixu asked again.  "Yes!" Yang Sixu is not only a good general, but also a good speaker.  After his lectures, the soldiers had the idea of ????following his lead, and whatever he said would be accepted.  "Let's go!" Yang Sixu waved his right hand and ordered loudly.  Turning the horse's head, he patted the horse's back and galloped out first.  "Rumble!" The 100,000 vanguard army followed closely and galloped, the sound of hooves was like thunder, making the ground tremble.  After all the 100,000 vanguard troops moved out, the rest of the Tang army followed.  Groups of Tang troops, following Zhang's deployment, immediately set off? At this moment, if you look from the air, you will find that the entire Western Region is full of advancing Tang troops.  Groups of Tang troops, like long dragons, rolled westward.  XXXXXXXXXXX is returning to the east, all of which are angry and cursed.  "The damn big food dog is so greedy and cruel that we are not allowed to go to Samarkand to do business."  Ridiculous. I have been making a living on the Silk Road for decades. Counting from my grandfather¡¯s generation, we have been making a living on the Silk Road. How can we be a spy?  When people from the Tang Dynasty saw us, they said that we were spies. Not only did they charge high taxes, but they also punished us in every possible way. I decided that I would not come back this time and would not do anything else. ¡±  Since its opening in the Han Dynasty, the road has been China's most important land trade channel for hundreds of years.  Countless merchants walked on this golden trade road, selling Chinese silk and tea to the West, and selling Western jewelry and treasures to China.  Samarkand is also a transit point on the Silk Road, and many people come here to do business.  Nowadays, the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Arab Empire is about to begin. The Arab Empire is very tight on the Tang people. Not only does it have to collect high taxes, but it also imposes harsh punishments in every possible way, which makes the merchants very angry.  "We were lucky. Although we didn't make any money, the people were fine. There were several caravans. Even the people were gone." "The big-eating dogs are so hateful. They were greedy and confiscated their goods.  They also killed people. The way Big Food Dog killed people was so cruel. They didn¡¯t even have a whole body. " "Hey! Why didn¡¯t the imperial court send troops earlier to kill Big Food Dog?  If it is destroyed, we can do business with peace of mind. "The Arab Empire is extremely evil.  They were not merciful to the Tang people at all. Many businessmen fell into their hands and were tortured in all kinds of ways, leaving their bodies intact.  When this matter was brought up, these businessmen became very angry.  "Rumble!" At this moment, a burst of earth-shattering hoofbeats was heard, like thunder.  "What sound is this? It's the sound of hoofbeats! The sound of hoofbeats is so neat and well-proportioned, it's like a big army." "How could there be a big army here? Could it be the army of the countries in the Western Regions?" "The countries in the Western Regions? You guys?  We look down upon them too much. The countries in the Western Region are very weak, and they don't have many war horses. You can tell by the sound of hooves that this is a well-trained army.  Enter. The only ones with such prestige are the army of the Tang Dynasty and the army of the Big Shigou. "Although the Big Shigou's army is hateful, its army is really good and well-trained. However, it is impossible for the Big Shigou's army to reach here."  It's the army of the Tang Dynasty. "That's right! It must be the army of the Tang Dynasty. The army of Da Shi Dog is in Talas. The one here is naturally the army of the Tang Dynasty."  The Tang army is coming! Great! The Tang Dynasty is finally going to war against Dashi!" The merchants, who had been bullied by Dashi, burst into tears and shouted loudly.  Then, they rushed to greet Tang Jun excitedly.  From a distance, they could see banners covering the sky, and the flags of the Tang army fluttering in the wind. They saw this and were filled with indescribable joy.  "It's really the army of the Tang Dynasty!" "This is our army!" "The Tang Dynasty is finally going to attack the big food dog!" "Let's go! Reward the army!" "Reward the army. Let's join the army." Businessmen  There were many voices clamoring, some wanted to reward the army, and some wanted to join the army.  "Join the army? You can imagine that. Who do you think you are? You don't even know how old you are. Your hair and beard are all white. If you join the army, can the Tang Dynasty want you?" "Who said no? I am  I¡¯m not young, but three generations of my ancestors have walked this road. I can walk with my eyes closed. " "Yes! We are very familiar with this road."  No problem. " These businessmen are very familiar with the Western Regions. If they serve as guides, there will definitely be no problem.  "Tang Jun, we are from the Tang Dynasty. We want to join the army. Please accept us. We are familiar with the Western Regions and we can be guides." These businessmen began to lobby Tang Jun.  Yang Sixu came on horseback, looked at these businessmen, and asked: "Are you familiar with the Western Regions?" "Familiar? No! Very familiar!" "Three generations of my ancestors and grandchildren have been walking this road, so I??You can walk with your eyes closed.  " "I know exactly where there are water and grasslands, where there are smooth roads, and where it is difficult to walk.  " These businessmen are busy bragging. "You didn't tell lies?  Yang Sixu asked, his face cold. "General, please rest assured, everything we say is true."  "These businessmen patted their chests and assured. "That's good.  I agree to your request. You are the army of the Tang Dynasty. You are responsible for guiding the army of the Tang Dynasty.  "Yang Sixu agreed immediately. Although he has found a guide long ago, there are never too many guides. Especially these merchants who have been traveling the Silk Road for a long time. Their familiarity with the road is definitely not as good as those of the guides. "The merchants you know  Are there many teams?  "Yang Sixu asked again. "More!  We know quite a few caravans.  "The merchants hurriedly replied. "You go and tell them immediately that you want them to join the army and lead the way for the Tang Dynasty.  Their income will never be less than that from business.  "Yang Sixu's eyes shone. The Silk Road started from Chang'an and went all the way west to the Roman Empire. These merchants who have been walking on the Silk Road for many years are definitely the best guides. Their familiarity with this road is far greater than  More than the guides in the Western Regions, they are familiar with at least one section of the journey. When they reach the next section, they have to change people. It will be much easier if these businessmen serve as guides. ¡°General, please don¡¯t worry.  Let's go now.  "These businessmen are overjoyed.
