Chapter 869

In the city of broken leaves, dead leaves flutter and scatter all over the city.

This city is more like the interior of Middle-earth than the others. All the floors are paved with bluestone bricks, which has a wet feeling. On both sides of the official road, there are more buildings in the eaves style of the Middle Earth than in other places. And most importantly, there are finally more people here than in other places, and it is no longer a completely empty city like other places, with a faint hint of Hu merchants.

But the atmosphere of war is also much stronger here than anywhere else.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a sound of fine iron came from a distance, faintly accompanied by a shouting of killing.

"Zhang Que, what's going on, how can there be a fight in front of you?"

Wang Chong frowned, and Zhang Que, who beckoned in front of him, suddenly spoke. The Anxidu Protector has already left for the front line and is engaged in a fierce battle with the Great Cannibal, and there should not be any fighting in the city at this time.

"Report to Master Hou, he is a bandit in Broken Leaf City. They don't know when they appeared, but when we found them, they were setting fires and looting all over the city. Ours is fighting them, and they should be defeated soon. ”

"Robbers? Isn't this the territory of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate? Isn't Feng Changqing still in the Mansion? How can there be robbers?"

Wang Chong frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.

Although Gao Xianzhi took away nearly ninety percent of the Anxi capital protectors, there are still one percent of the Anxi capital guards left behind in the rear, and there are these large * teams left behind, it stands to reason that this situation should not occur, not to mention that Feng Changqing, one of the two walls of the empire, is sitting behind.

"I don't know. ”

Zhang Que shook his head, and there was also a puzzled look in his eyes:

"Judging from what our Eagle Vulture Squad has seen from the sky, I'm afraid there are more than one bandits in Shattered Leaf City, and I'm afraid it's been going on for a while. General Confucius is leading people to expel the robbers in the city, and it is believed that it will not be long before they can be eliminated. ”

Wang Chong nodded: "Just ask Feng Changqing about this matter." ”

As he spoke, the horse's hooves suddenly sprang up, and a herald rushed through the ranks and suddenly rushed from the front.

"Report! Master Hou, the deputy capital of Anxi, Chang Qing, is asking to see you in front!"

"Oh?"

Wang Chong's eyes flashed, and he was very surprised in his heart, he really said Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive. didn't have time to think about it, Wang Chong slapped the war horse and immediately moved forward.

......

Next to the official road, the eaves are pecked high, and next to a cyan government office, several figures are standing quietly. The leader is a middle-aged man with a strange ugly appearance and dark skin, but a straight body, polite and polite, and looks extremely confident. Behind him were four tiger-backed warriors, with long knives at their waists, motionless Anxidu Protector soldiers.

The four of them didn't know how long they had been standing here, and their expressions were slightly anxious.

"It's coming!"

Seeing Wang Chong's horses, Feng Changqing's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed in his heart, and he led the four elites of the Anxi Capital Protector like a savior, and hurriedly greeted him. For nearly two months, Feng Changqing was simply looking forward to it, every day was like an ant on a hot pot, only he knew how he survived these nearly two months.

Now that Wang Chong finally led an army of more than 100,000 people from the mighty surging of Broken Leaf City, Feng Changqing suddenly felt a big set.

To be honest, Wang Chong has been constantly shirking for such a long time, and he has also doubted in his heart whether Wang Chong is deliberately making excuses. But at this moment, seeing the surging guards of the Western Capital, Feng Changqing had no doubts in his heart. And what made Feng Changqing feel most excited was that he originally thought that Wang Chong could only bring twenty or thirty thousand soldiers and horses at most, but he didn't expect that the reinforcements brought by Wang Chong were far beyond his imagination.

"Master Hou, I've finally waited for you!"

Feng Changqing hurriedly stepped up to meet him, bent down in front of Wang Chong's white hoof, and bowed respectfully. As soon as he blurted out this sentence, Feng Changqing suddenly couldn't help but have red eyes. The situation in the city of Talas had reached its most critical moment, and he had not received any letter from there for more than three days, and although he was anxious, he could not show it in the slightest, for everyone was watching him.

If even he panicked, then the whole Anxi would be completely finished.

But looking forward to the stars and the moon, he finally waited for this day and waited for Wang Chong's arrival.

"Adults don't have to be polite!"

When Wang Chong saw this scene, his expression was straight, and he quickly turned over from the horse and helped Feng Changqing up. Feng Changqing is a famous general in Anxi, and he is one of the two walls of the empire, and his age and qualifications are far more than Wang Chong's fame, but when it comes to identity and status, Wang Chong is now far more than Feng Changqing.

Gao Xianzhi led the troops on an expedition, let Feng Changqing stay in the rear, and hung him a position of deputy capital protector, but Wang Chong was the capital protector of the west of the city, and he was also a young marquis of the Holy Emperor, which Feng Changqing could not compare. Therefore, when Feng Changqing saw Wang Chong, he needed to salute as a subordinate.

"Dare to ask my lord, what is the situation in the Western Regions now? What happened to Lord Gao Xianzhi? And I just entered the city and saw that bandits were rampant in the city, isn't there still a guard of Anxi in Broken Leaf City? Why is this happening?"

Wang rushed straight to the point.

For Feng Changqing, Wang Chong has been known for a long time, and the double walls of the empire in his previous life are definitely the two most shining superstars above the Western Regions. Feng Changqing's appearance is ugly, and his status is not as high as his own, but Wang Chong does not despise him in the slightest, not only that, but also extremely respectful. This is also the reason why he saw Feng Changqing hurriedly dismount and salute.

This is a loyal vassal of the Empire, and in terms of logistics and administration, it is the highest rank in the Empire. Even Xu Qiqin, the later queen of logistics, once said that she admired him very much. Because of this, bandits were rampant in Broken Leaf City, and Wang Chong felt more and more incomprehensible.

"Master Hou doesn't know, Anxi is now worried about internal and external troubles, and there are many hidden worries. The big cannibals not only colluded with Shiguo, but also sent a large number of spies to buy Anxi's Hu people, equip them with horses and weapons, and let them make waves in the rear and take the opportunity to disturb Anxi. In addition, Lord Gao Xianzhi led the Anxi Protector Army and the Great Cannibal to fight in Talas, and they held each other for less than two months, the people of the Western Regions were unstable, and many small countries and tribes in the Western Regions took advantage of the fire to rob, and Anxi's troops were seriously insufficient. All the troops added up to less than two thousand people are simply not enough.

"As far as Master Hou sees now, it's still the effect that I'm trying my best to maintain, otherwise Shattered Leaf City may be even more chaotic than it is now. ”

Feng Changqing said with a haggard expression.

As the imperial twin walls of the Tang Dynasty, in the entire Anxi, except for Gao Xianzhi, several Changqing are the most dazzling. The whole Anxi has become what it is now, and Feng Changqing is indeed to blame, but only Feng Changqing understands how difficult his current situation is. When the thirty-six large and small countries and tribes in the Western Regions took advantage of the chaos, it was really difficult to rely on the two thousand Anxi Du Protectors who remained behind.

On the one hand, Feng Changqing was worried about the safety of Gao Xianzhi and the 30,000 Anxi capital guards in Talas, and on the other hand, he had to try his best to maintain the stability of the rear of the Western Regions, and his whole heart was haggard.

"I see!"

Wang Chong was also moved. Knowing that Gao Xianzhi did not have many soldiers and horses left in the Western Regions, Wang Chong did not expect that there were only 2,000 people, and with such a small number of people, it was almost impossible to maintain the security of the Western Regions. In fact, as the closest city to Talas, Shattered Leaf City was able to have so many merchants there, holding on to it, and maintaining the overall order on the surface, it was already quite surprising that Feng Changqing's ability to do this.

"Chen Bin, allocate two thousand men to Lord Feng Changqing, complete the bows and crossbows, shields, in addition, I will send you ten more crossbow teams, no matter what, you must settle down in Shattered Leaf City!"

Wang Chong didn't look back and said to the rear.

Shattered Leaf City is the location of the Anxi Protectorate, which is not only the closest protective fortress to Talas, but also the spiritual center of the entire Western Regions. If even the Broken Leaf City, where the Anxi Protectorate is located, is in chaos, then the entire Western Regions will really be in chaos. So no matter what, first of all, we must stabilize the situation in Shattered Leaf City, and all the robbers who looted need to be killed.

"Yes, Master Hou!"

Chen Bin's voice came from behind, and then the sound of horses' hooves quickly disappeared.

"Master Hou, I can deal with the situation in Anxi for the time being, at least it will be fine for a short time, but Lord Gao Xianzhi's side is already 100,000 urgent, I'm afraid he won't be able to support it. I also hope that the Hou Ye can speed up the march and support Lord Du Hu as soon as possible!"

Feng Changqing suddenly spoke, the uneasiness and anxiety in his eyes overflowing.

"Lord Feng, don't worry, what's going on with Talas?"

Wang Chong asked.

Up to now, almost all the information about Talas comes from the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate and Feng Changqing, and there is no clearer situation about Talas than Feng Changqing, which is not even comparable to Zhang Que.

"The situation in Talas is very bad now, when the Great Cannibals first arrived, there were not many troops and they were not well prepared, and there were no trees to cut down around Talus. But now, the Great Cannibals have mobilized more and more soldiers and horses, and the attacks are becoming more and more fierce, and from the information I have gathered, the Great Cannibals have cut down trees in the rear, transported them to the front line, and wantonly built ladders and other engineering equipment, which is completely the intention of preparing for a general attack. From the point of view of time, within a few days at most, the city of Talas may not be able to support it. ”

"The Great Cannibal is now putting all his heart and soul on Talus, and if Talus is broken, Anthy will soon follow. The entire Western Regions will fall into the hands of the Great Cannibals. ”

Feng Changqing was extremely excited:

"Master Hou, now Anxi and Datang have no soldiers available, and everything can only rely on adults. Chang Qing begged Master Hou, please be sure to rescue Lord Duhu and the Anxi children in the city no matter what!

In the end, Feng Changqing used all his strength to bow deeply, and he couldn't bow for a long time.
