    Huoxun is one of the countries in the Western Region.  This country is located in Central Asia. Although it has long been known that the Tang army entered the Western Regions in large numbers, it did not send anyone to ask for surrender.  "Your Majesty, the Tang army has entered the Western Regions in large numbers, and the war with Dashi is about to begin. Why don't we surrender as soon as possible?" Some ministers asked in confusion.  "Please surrender? Why should I ask for surrender?" King Huo Xun was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was not tall and a little thin. He sneered disdainfully and said: "We are located between the two countries, so we must take good care of ourselves.  Take advantage of this convenience and get more benefits." "Your Majesty, what do you mean?" a minister asked in confusion.  "Don't even think about it. Is Dashi so easy to fight?" King Huo Xun sneered and said: "Dashi has a territory of thousands of miles, a huge population, and a powerful country that is not inferior to the Tang Dynasty. I think if they fight, this  The war will not end in a short time, it will definitely last for a long time. By then, we will be even more precious, Dashi will win over us, and the Tang Dynasty will win over us. We can benefit from both sides. " With this mentality,  This is the common mentality of the countries in the Western Regions. They think that with a convenient geographical location, they can please both sides.  "Your Majesty is wise." The ministers suddenly realized and praised loudly.  The Tang Dynasty and the Arab Empire were two behemoths, powerful but far apart.  If these two countries want to go to war, they must go through Central Asia. Then, these small countries in Central Asia will be local snakes, and they will be able to please both sides.  "Your Majesty, it's not good, it's not good." As soon as the praises of the ministers ended, a personal guard rushed in like a flying bird and started shouting from a distance.  "What's wrong?" King Huo Xun thought he had a plan when he heard this.  Very unhappy.  He shouted with a sinking face.  "Your Majesty, the Tang army has marched westward in large numbers." The guards were busy reporting.  "This is a very good thing." King Huoxun raised his eyebrows and said with joy on his face: "The Tang army marching westward will inevitably pass through our Huoxun land, and we can take the opportunity to make a fortune. Let me tell you  , the price of the things Tang Jun bought increased by three no, ten times. " He doesn't look like a king.  It's more like a profiteer trying to drive up prices.  "Your Majesty is wise! The Tang people are rich, so it's right to ask them to pay more." "That's right! If the Tang people's money is not extorted, who should they be extorted from?" The ministers also agreed with this and said happily.  In the impression of the countries in the Western Regions, the Tang Dynasty was extremely rich, the land was full of gold, and it was a paradise on earth.  They thought it was reasonable to ask Tang Jun to pay more.  "Your Majesty, Your Majesty." The confidant heard this.  I almost fainted from fright, so I quickly reminded him.  He said: "The pioneer general of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Sixu, made harsh words. If any country did not surrender before the Tang army arrived, it would be destroyed." "Destroy the country?" When King Huo Xun heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said with disdain: "  Does he dare? He doesn't even think about how many countries there are in the Western Regions. If he dares to destroy our country, it will chill the hearts of other countries. Even if he has ten leopards, he won't dare.  The ministers echoed loudly.  Not to mention that the country in the Western Region is very small, its king has not yet experienced it.  The kings of some countries are no different from gangsters, and King Huo Xun is such a person.  "Your Majesty, that Yang Sixu is a ruthless man." The guard reminded him hurriedly: "He dared to massacre the city and destroy the country. What dare he dare to do? He once massacred the city in Tianzhu, killing everyone who was three feet taller." "  Massacre the city?" King Huo Xun's expression changed, a little ugly.  The Tang Dynasty had been running the Western Regions for many years, but no Tang general dared to massacre a city.  For a ruthless man like Yang Sixu who dared to massacre the city, King Huo Xun was really frightened.  "Your Majesty, the Tang army has arrived at the city." At this moment, another guard came in to report.  "Arrived at the city?" King Huo Xun's excitement was gone. His head was covered in cold sweat, his face was pale, and he was very scared. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of his mind, he could have both sides and please both sides, but he never expected that he would have to be afraid when he encountered Yang Sixu, a ruthless man who dared to massacre the city.  Now, the Tang army has arrived at the city, and he has not surrendered yet. Does the Tang army really want to destroy the country?  "Hurry! Prepare a generous gift and go to greet the Tang army." King Huo Xun did not dare to make any more mistakes, so he had to go to greet him.  The ministers did not dare to say more, and they were busy preparing, giving a generous gift, and rushed outside the city to greet the Tang army.  When King Huo Xun arrived at the city, he saw that the Tang army had already arrived and was forming an array outside the city.  "Welcome to the Tang army." King Huo Xun bowed at ninety degrees and said cautiously.  The high-spiritedness he had in the palace has long since disappeared, and now he looks like a pampered dog.  "Are you King Huoxun?" Yang Sixu came riding a tall horse with a shrill voice.  "Correct"?.  "King Huo Xun was originally frightened and uneasy, but when he heard Yang Sixu's sharp and harsh voice, his heart was almost frightened and pounding. "I have already sent an order to the Western Regions, asking you to surrender early, did you know?  "Yang Sixu's face sank and he asked coldly. The tone was not high. To King Huo Xun's ears, it sounded as cold and quiet as if he came from the Jiuyou underworld. He trembled and knelt on the ground with a pop, not daring to breathe  How can I still speak? "Speak.  "Yang Sixu said coldly. "I know, I know.  " King Huo Xun trembled. He didn't dare to lie, so he had to tell the truth. "Since you know, why don't you surrender as soon as possible?  A cold smile flashed across Yang Sixu's lips, and he said, "Are you trying to please both sides?"  " "Yes, yes, yes.  "King Huo Xun was covered in chaff, and he didn't even have the courage to lie. "That's good.  "Yang Sixu nodded. "Huh.  "King Huo Xun took a long breath, thinking that it was okay, this matter is over. However, before he could take a breath, he only heard Yang Sixu say coldly: "Destroy the country!  " "Destroy the country?  "King Huo Xun was stunned on the spot, his eyes were as straight as wooden stakes. "This Yang Sixu is real. Since he wants to destroy the country, he still said "that's fine". Isn't this misleading? In fact, Yang Sixu's  It means that he can destroy the Huo Xun Kingdom as a matter of course. It¡¯s just that King Huo Xun is too passionate. ¡°General, you can¡¯t destroy the country.  "    "yes.  yes.  If you destroy Huo Xunguo.  Don't be afraid of being coldhearted by other countries.  Be an enemy of Datang?  " Minister Youhuoxun was still calm and hurriedly reminded. " Chilling heart?  ridiculous!  Yang Sixu smiled coldly and said: "I have already ordered all countries to kill anyone who has not surrendered by the time the army arrives!"  If we do not extinguish the fire and search for the country, how can we carry out the general's orders?  " Yang Sixu has already spoken out. If he doesn't kill Huo Xunguo, he can't live up to his words. We can't let the countries in the Western Regions be frightened. It's inevitable to extinguish Huo Xunguo. "Besides, it's just you and others.  The small country of Zuer also wants to overturn the world?  Yang Sixu was extremely disdainful and sneered, "Your country, Huo Xun, is not as big as a county in the Tang Dynasty, let alone as populous as a town in the Tang Dynasty. Even if you want to be an enemy of the Tang Dynasty, what can you do to the Tang Dynasty?"  ?  To put out the fire and find the country.  The Tang Dynasty only needed five hundred soldiers and horses, which was enough!  ¡± The countries in the Western Regions are too small. Each country does not have much land. As for the population, it is even less. The land of Huoxun Kingdom is not as big as a county in the Tang Dynasty, and the population is not as large as a town in the Tang Dynasty. Not to mention  What sophisticated equipment, for them, it is a luxury. It is such a weak small country, and it is not qualified to be an enemy of the Tang Dynasty. An army of five hundred people is not enough for the Tang Dynasty to destroy such a small country.  It¡¯s enough to kill him ten times or eight times. ¡°After killing Huoxun, I will spread your head throughout the Western Region. I would like to see who dares to complain for you.  "Yang Sixu said coldly. With a wave of his right hand, a Tang soldier came forward, raised his sword and dropped it. King Huo Xun's head rolled to the ground. " Yang Sixu gave the order, and five hundred Tang soldiers rushed into the city and started killing.  The capital of Huoxun Kingdom was really not decent. It was just like a village. It was very simple and the population was not large. The Tang army wanted to  It is too easy to kill him and spread his head throughout the Western Region.  "Yang Sixu glanced sideways at King Huoxun's head, without even looking at him. The soldiers of the Tang Army immediately obeyed. When the news spread that Huoxun Kingdom was destroyed, all the countries in the Western Regions were frightened and asked for surrender. They never dared to surrender again.  Feeling lucky. Especially after the death of King Huoxun arrived, the kings of the Western Regions secretly praised themselves for being quick at seeing opportunities. Otherwise, they would become the second King Huoxun. In this way, the 100,000 people led by Yang Sixu.  The vanguard army swept through the Western Regions with the force of autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. The countries in the Western Regions were too small and weak. No matter whether they surrendered or resisted, they could not stop the Tang army's advance. Yang Sixu's advance would not be possible unless it was fast.  Half a month later, the Tang army arrived at Talos. The exact location of Talos has not been determined, and there is still controversy among historians, but the general location can be determined, and it is at the junction of Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, approximately close to Kazakhstan.  Taraz. Historically, a great war broke out between the Tang Dynasty and the Arab Empire. This battle was a major collision between the two most powerful empires in the East and the West, and it ended with the defeat of the Tang Dynasty.  , Talos is the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the farthest place in the ancient Chinese world to the west. It is the place where the Tang Dynasty failed.?? is the place where ancient China suffered a defeat.  At that time, the Tang Dynasty and the Arab Empire fought in Central Asia for decades, with rivers of blood flowing and mountains of corpses piled up, and each had its own victory or defeat.  Why did such a war break out in Talas?  This starts with the geographical location of Talas, because Talas is the gateway to Samarkand.  If the Tang Dynasty defeated it, the Tang army could march straight in and take Samarkand.  Samarkand is a fertile land with abundant products. If the Tang Dynasty takes it, it will be a huge threat to the Arab Empire.  First, because the Tang Dynasty obtained a favorable strategic offensive base, it was tantamount to pointing a sharp sword at the heart of the Arab Empire.  Second, after acquiring Samarkand, the restriction that the Tang Dynasty had to station few troops in the Western Regions due to the difficulty in raising food and grass would be broken. The Tang Dynasty would be able to send a large number of troops into the Western Regions, and the Arab Empire would be unable to withstand it.  It was from these considerations that the Arab Empire mobilized heavy troops to block the Tang army in Henglus.  Despite this, in this five-day battle, the Tang army suppressed the Arab Empire.  Just because Gao Xianzhi had limited troops, he was unable to achieve the final victory, which gave the Arab Empire the opportunity to instigate a rebellion against the Gelulu tribe.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
