The situation in the Western Regions is quite complicated. There are many countries of all sizes, and there are also various terrains that are easy to confuse.

Most people in this era have no habit of writing notes. Many things are passed down by word of mouth. In terms of geographical knowledge, it is really difficult to explain clearly. If you have a little clumsy head, you will probably faint as you listen.

Maps are very precious in this era because the drawing process is extremely difficult, especially the situation in the Western Regions is so complicated. Few people can figure out where exactly.

Because Luo Yong had the books in the space, he could first roughly draw a topographic map, draw all the mountains, rivers, coastlines, and then mark the locations of countries of all sizes on this map as the Hu people told him.

It is an extremely difficult and groundbreaking task for others, for Luo Yong, this has become a fill-in-the-blank question, and the difficulty has dropped by more than a little bit.

"Take out the map just now and see it with me." Luo Yong and Tang Jian came out of the Hu merchant house. After getting on the carriage, Tang Jian reached out to Luo Yong to look at the map.

"Don't look in this carriage, dizzy." Luo Yong advised.

"What's the big deal in the carriage? I can see it on the horse's back. Get it quickly." People who have been in the military life, there is no such thing as being so careless. Tang Jian reached out to Luo Yong, shook his palm upwards, and signaled Luo Yong to take out the things quickly.

"Then be careful." Luo Yong had no choice but to take out the map again, and he still reminded him.

Even as a time traveler and having a cheating device with a golden finger, it is actually not easy to fiddle with the countries of all sizes in the Western Regions. He is now only in his hand.

"At a young age, don't be so verbally talkative." Lord Tang said disgusted.

Luo Yong:...

"Did you really draw this map yourself?" The closer you looked, the more you felt a little disbelief.

"Yes." Luo Yong bit it right and drew it himself. How could others do to him? "I don't know if the drawing was right."

"I think it should be true." Although Tang Jian himself had never been to the Western Regions, judging from the attitude of the Hu Shang just now, this map should still be very reliable.

"I never thought that you can still draw maps." Tang Jian wanted to know what else this kid doesn't know.

"When you live in Changle County for a while, you will be able to draw maps after a year or two." Luo Yong said lightly.

"You have already drawn it, so I won't draw it." Master Tang refused to do such a hard work. He was so old that he could withstand such consumption. Isn't there still young people?

Luo Yong:...

The distance from Dunhuang to Changle County is quite far, so they definitely couldn't go back that day, so they had to live in the inn that night.

When the carriage arrived at the inn, Luo Yong wanted to take back the map. Tang Jianyan asked him to take a look again and he would still be with him tomorrow morning, but Luo Yong refused.

At the inn, Qiao Junlin and several servants have prepared all the accommodation matters.

During the day, Luo Yong and Tang Jian walked in Dunhuang City, so naturally there was no need for many servants to follow him. As the county magistrate of the next county, Luo Yong came to Dunhuang to poach people. He would definitely be able to keep a low profile, but when he stayed overnight at night, he still needed to be on guard while walking.

There is nothing to worry about in Changle County. Not to mention anything else, just the Zhao family's group of people are there, ordinary people dare not provoke them easily.

The county magistrate Guo Fenglai sent by the emperor is also quite reliable. In addition, Tan Lao County Magistrate and Chief Correspondent, Luo Yong went out for one or two days, so there was no need to worry about anything.

The food in the inn was very ordinary. Near the evening, they were talking about asking a servant to go out to buy some food and come back. The governor of Shazhou and the magistrate of Dunhuang County came together.

The reason why these two people came was naturally because Tang Jian. Even though Lord Tang had not been very satisfied in Chang'an City over the years, the boss was a big boss, a gentry and a founding hero. He was not at all heavyweight with a little shrimp like Luo Yong.

Two local officials invited Tang Jian to dinner, and Luo Yong and Qiao Junlin also followed.

During the meal, the governor of Shazhou mentioned something with Tang Jian, which was related to the Gaochang Kingdom.

Gaochang State is not particularly far from Shazhou. It is north of Shazhou. Gaochang State is right next to Yizhou.

Gaochang was originally the place where the Han army stationed troops, known in history as Gaochangbi, and was once under the jurisdiction of Dunhuang County. Later, the Rouran people established the Gaochang Kingdom here. After several changes in power, it is now the Qu Dynasty.

This is a Buddhist country. As an important hub for the Tang and the Turks to communicate with the Western Regions, this small country is quite wealthy, but sometimes it is inevitable that it will be difficult to get stuck between the Tang and the Turks.

King Qu Wentai of Gaochang went to Chang'an City to meet Li Shimin as early as the fourth year of Zhenguan and contributed prescriptions. In recent years, he surrendered to the Western Turks. There are rumors that he hindered the path of tribute from various countries in the Western Regions to enter the Tang Dynasty. A few days ago, the saint summoned Qu Wentai to the court, but Qu Wentai said he would not be sick.

As a result, the atmosphere in Hexi became a little sensitive and tense.

The governor of Shazhou and the magistrate of Dunhuang County wanted to find out some news from Tang Jian and know in advance whether the saints had plans to use troops in Gaochang State, so they would have prepared early.

"I had won a battle with Tubo earlier, and now my morale is strong. How can I allow the King of Gaochang to be arrogant?" Tang Jian said bluntly.

"..." The governor of Shazhou and the magistrate of Dunhuang County no longer spoke.

Luo Yong listened aside and thought that he could figure out what was going on. Since he took office as the magistrate of Changle County, he has been dedicated to supporting people's livelihood and developing the economy. He originally thought that the border war was quite far away from him, but he did not expect that it was right in front of him.

The King of Gaochang came to the Hajj to meet Li Shimin in the fourth year of Zhenguan, naturally to show goodwill and to gain more favorable conditions for his country and regime.

More than nine years have passed now, and since he was confused with the Western Turks, the saint announced that he would go to Beijing at this time, so how could he be willing to go? Even if it was just a small country, as the lord of a country, he would not spare his life.

Even though he knew he wouldn't come, he still wanted to announce him.

Baba gave her face and asked you to gently slap it. If you really hit it, the consequences would be very serious. Otherwise, it would be so sad to say that the weak national strength is weak.

The Central Plains court still regards the Turks as the number one strong enemy. The Eastern Turks have been destroyed, and now only the Western Turks are left.

Whether Gaochang was controlled by the Western Turks or voluntarily cooperated with them, they were destined to have no good ending when the Tang Dynasty became more and more prosperous.

On the second day, Luo Yong and others returned to Changle County. On the way, Tang Jian and Luo Yong rode on the same carriage. Seeing that he looked a little worried, he said:

"Now the Tang Dynasty's national strength is booming and the Turks are declining. Even if it still has some counterattack power, your Changle County will not be the first to bear the brunt."

"I wonder which general the court will send to us this time?" Luo Yong did not know much about this upcoming battle.

"Hmph, it's probably Hou Junji." Tang Jian said disdainfully.

"Why?" Luo Yong asked.

"He went to fight the Tubo earlier, but it was a waste of time. This time he conquered Gaochang, he would definitely strive to do it." Tang Jian said.

Luo Yong also heard about the war between the Tang and Tubo. The court sent five armies to fight against Tubo. As a result, Niu Jinda, a vanguard force, killed them and beat them to death.

At that time, not only Hou Junji had a vain trip, but the other generals also had a vain trip. Why was Tang Jian so sure that the one who led the troops to fight this time would be Hou Junji.

"This is a bit long, just say, no matter what, I will tell you in detail."

From the beginning, Hou Junji was a man who was under the Qin/Wang Mansion and Li Shimin. From the beginning, he and Changsun Wuji had a clear position and persuaded Li Shimin many times.

Hou Junji was Li Shimin's confidant. He and Li Jing went to fight against the Turks and made military achievements. However, many people in the court thought that his military achievements were obtained. Even the saints made him learn military tactics with Li Jing. Hou Junji was dissatisfied and hated Li Jing for not giving them all, so he falsely accused Li Jing of rebellion.

What kind of person was Li Jing? He was young and served as an official in the Sui Dynasty. Although his official position was not high, he was famous among the ministers and nobles of the Sui Dynasty. What were the descendants of the Sui Dynasty? What were the aristocratic families? By the time of the early Tang Dynasty, even after the dynasty changes, the aristocratic families were still the aristocratic families.

Speaking of which, the great cause of Emperor Gaozu of Tang Dynasty Li Yuan was almost broken in this man's hands. Li Jing was almost killed in his head and almost saved his life. Later, he was taken into the Qin/Niang Mansion. He also started from the grassroots level and eventually became a general and made great achievements in military achievements. This man is both literary and military. If you want to talk about military literacy, in the Tang Dynasty, he said that no one dared to say that he was the first.

As a king of a country with a broad mind, Li Shimin naturally regarded him as a talent, but it is hard to say whether he likes him very much in his heart.

As the emperor's confidant, Hou Junji falsely accused such a country general who was upright and glorious in his heart for the sake of his injustice. He deserved to be labeled as a villain.

Especially for strange tough guys like Tang Jian who can compete with the emperor for chess so that they almost lost their heads, they are even more ashamed of those who follow behind the emperor's butt all day long.

Although Luo Yong had also served as an official in Chang'an, he was just a little shrimp after all, and had no connection with the big guys above. At this time, just thinking about such a person who was likely to come to Hexi, he felt a little headache.
