Chapter 829: Guishuang King's Foreign Aid

Gao Xianzhi said: "That's right, I went to Guishuang Empire alone, with the help of local troops, to fight Wo Kuotai to the death."

"Borrowing soldiers and horses from other kingdoms is certainly a common way...I'm afraid King Guishuang will not be satisfied."

Ban Chao knew that the Protectorate of the Western Regions often recruited soldiers and horses from various vassals, so it was not impossible to use the troops of the Guishuang Empire to resist Wo Kuotai.

"Believe me, I will definitely defeat Wo Kuotai."

After a brief discussion between Gao Xianzhi and Ban Chao, Ban Chao acquiesced to Gao Xianzhi's idea.

If only Gao Xianzhi went to Guishuang Empire alone and did not take away the troops left behind in Dawan Kingdom, then the Protectorate of the Western Regions would be completely acceptable.

Gao Xianzhi called for an envoy from King Guishuang.

The envoy of King Guishuang frowned after hearing this.

The Protectorate of the Western Regions actually only planned to send Gao Xianzhi alone.

This is far from the 200,000 reinforcements requested by King Guishuang.

Gao Xianzhi didn't take it seriously, because this was his best opportunity to make contributions: "Take me to King Guishuang, as long as he dares to lend me troops, he might not be able to win."

...

"I ordered you to borrow 200,000 elite soldiers from the Protectorate of the Western Regions, and this is the end?"

King Guishuang sat on the throne, looking down at the envoys who came back, and Gao Xianzhi, the military general of the Protectorate of the Western Regions who came with him.

The envoy couldn't help sweating profusely: "This... It is said that most of the Western Regions entered the customs and participated in the internal battle of the Han Empire, so there are not many troops to help us. This General Gao Xianzhi claims that he can use our troops to resist Wo Kuotai."

"Is there also war within the Han Empire..."

The white-haired King Guishuang looked at Gao Xianzhi who had arrived. This was a general of the Protectorate of the Western Regions. It was Gao Xianzhi who led the main force of the Protectorate of the Western Regions across the Pamirs to Central Asia.

Gao Xianzhi's ability lies in mountain marches and decisive battles, but he may not be good at it.

"Since you are here on behalf of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, I hope you will not disappoint me. I can lend you 50,000 troops, and I will increase the number of troops after considering the situation."

King Guishuang didn't know whether Gao Xianzhi was reliable, so he only dared to lend 50,000 troops to Gao Xianzhi's command.

"Excuse me, how many available soldiers does Guishuang Empire have?"

"At least three million."

King Guishuang was quite proud when talking about his military strength.

"three million?"

Gao Xianzhi quickly saw the reality of King Guishuang.

If the three million soldiers and horses that King Guishuang said were true, then the situation of the Guishuang Empire could not be so unfavorable, being suppressed and beaten by hundreds of thousands of people in Wokuotai.

"The population of the Guishuang Empire is less than 10 million. How can they support 3 million elites? It is about the life and death of the Guishuang Empire. There is no need to lie to me."

King Guishuang hesitated for a while, and finally replied: "If it is an elite, there may be seven or eight hundred thousand..."

"Seven to eight hundred thousand veterans, I am afraid that there are only two to three hundred thousand high-level arms."

Gao Xianzhi knew that if the Guishuang Empire wanted to maintain three million soldiers, it basically needed a general mobilization, and most of them were recruits. What King Guishuang said was probably true.

"King, Subotai defeated Prince Taktu, and an army of 100,000 was slaughtered by Subotai!"

"It's unreasonable...!"

King Guishuang heard that the front was defeated again,

One hundred thousand troops died under Subotai's butcher's knife, and the entire Guishuang Empire was frightened and panicked.

A defeat on such a scale was a major blow to the entire empire. It was not just a simple loss of troops, but also a blow to morale.

Guishuang Wang Qiu's voice was trembling: "Is the prince still alive?"

"Prince Taktu commanded a cavalry force and escaped in time."

King Guishuang was relieved.

The 100,000 army can still be recruited again. If his son is killed in battle, it will be difficult to train another heir.

When Gao Xianzhi heard about Subotai's record, his expression became cautious.

Except for a few small-scale defeats, Subodei has always performed well, fighting from the East to the West, and trying to conquer Central and South Asia.

World War I slaughtered 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Guishuang Empire, causing a major earthquake in the Guishuang Empire. People were terrified, and they were afraid of Mongolian and Turkic cavalry. Such abilities are not possessed by ordinary generals.

Gao Xianzhi was a little proud at first, and had confidence in repelling Okuotai, but Subotai, the current first commander of the Mongol Empire, was fighting against the Guishuang Empire. Thinking that his opponent was Subotai, Gao Xianzhi immediately panicked.

Gao Xianzhi can be ranked among the famous generals of the Great Tang Dynasty, but he is far from being the number one commander of the Great Tang Empire. Many generals in the Tang Empire were above Gao Xianzhi, and fighting Subotai would be quite tricky.

On the battlefield between the Mongol Empire and the Guishuang Empire, Subotai and Jebe joined forces to defeat the 300,000 troops of the Guishuang Empire and wipe out 100,000 troops.

Wo Kuotai delegated power, and he trusted the veteran generals left behind by Temujin.

Wo Kuotai also knew that his military ability was average, far inferior to Su Butai and Zhebie.

Therefore, Wo Kuotai only provided the characteristics of a monarch, allowing the veterans and generals of the Mongolian Empire to drive straight into the Guishuang Empire.

The effect is also obvious. There are not many commanders in the Guishuang Empire who can restrain the veteran generals of the Mongolian Empire who are like wolves.

Subotai and others couldn't defeat the legions of the great princes of the Han Empire, but it didn't mean they couldn't bully the generals of the Guishuang Empire.

"Conquering the Guishuang Empire is easier than defeating the Protectorate of the Western Regions."

Wo Kuotai couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he saw the battlefield full of corpses.

If he attacked the Guishuang Empire with the grand occasion of attacking the Protectorate of the Western Regions, he might have won the entire Guishuang Empire long ago.

Yelu Dashi said: "Tamerlane is conquering the Mughals of India, and the Delhi people have surrendered to Timur. The situation is very good for us. If we defeat the Guishuang Empire and the Mughal Empire of India, and then intervene in the civil war of the Han Empire, A great empire from West Asia to East Asia will be established."

"Father Khan unified the various tribes of Mongolia, and my achievements will surpass my father Khan and re-inherit the title of Genghis Khan."

Wo Kuotai's ambition is no less than that of Temujin.

In fact, the farthest distance of the Mongol expedition was when Wo Kuotai was the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire.

"It is said that the Guishuang Empire requested reinforcements from the Protectorate of the Western Regions."

Batu reminded Wo Kuotai.

Wo Kuotai said: "The main force of the Protectorate of the Western Regions entered the customs to participate in the civil war of the Han Empire, while Ban Chao and Gao Xianzhi stayed behind in the Dawan Kingdom. If Gao Xianzhi helps the Guishuang Empire, then there is nothing to fear. Gao Xianzhi is very happy and eager for meritorious service. If it's Ban Chao, then it's a little more tricky. Yelu Dashi, do you think it was Ban Chao or Gao Xianzhi who was sent by the Protectorate of the Western Regions to support the Guishuang Empire?"

Yelu Dashi replied: "The Protectorate of the Western Regions pays more attention to the interests of the Great Wan Kingdom, and tends to ignore the interests of the Guishuang Empire. Therefore, Ban Chao will guard the Dawan Kingdom to prevent us from attacking the Dawan Kingdom with a partial division. Support Guishuang Most of the military generals of the empire are Gao Xianzhi, and this time they are sure."
