Li Xun did not take the opportunity to eliminate Zhan Bai's last main force in one fell swoop, but retreated to Giant Rock City, which was very unexpected by Zhan Bai, and also made Hammer Oz, Brother Yu and others in Qi City very surprised.

Boulder City was unattackable, and Zhan Bai had no choice but to throw it alone, leaving 10,000 troops to defend Lin City, and then concentrating 50,000 troops to start a fierce attack on Qi City.

Mo Yi thought very well, but that was also taken for granted, Li Xun may not be able to think of the key, but his subordinates Fan Zhongyun, Sima Tu and even Chen He saw through Mo Yi's thoughts and calculations at a glance, how could they be easily used.

Li Xun not only did not fall for it, but pretended to be generous and gave Zhan Bai five days, Zhan Bai had no choice but to concentrate all his strength and attack Qicheng with all his might.

Three days passed quickly, and Jamber and Hammerer were fighting to the death, while Li Xun in Giant Rock City was very relaxed, but he was not idle and had nothing to do.

Fan Zhongyun planned a total of two moves for this expedition to the Western Regions, the first step is a military chess piece, and the second step is a political chess piece, Li Xun now occupies the east and north of the Western Regions, because of the lack of troops, he has not yet entered the southern region, but the troops there have been withdrawn by Zhan Bai, and there is almost no defense, Li Xun wants, it can be said that it is within reach.

In addition to the central and western regions, two-thirds of the entire Western Regions have been included in Li Xun's pocket.

The first step of military chess planned by Fan Zhongyun can be said to be overfulfilled.

Zhan Bai still has 60,000 troops in his hands, and there is still the power of a battle, but if Li Xun wants to eliminate him, it is not difficult, it is very simple, if you advance, I will retreat, if you retreat, I will advance, if you don't come head-on, it is dragging you, in the case of hopeless advance, no way back, and you can't fight if you want to fight, it doesn't take a few days, Zhan Bai's army will inevitably collapse and collapse, and at that time, Li Xun can easily destroy him, and then occupy the entire Western Regions.

Li Xun had this idea, but was persuaded by Fan Zhongyun.

Fan Zhongyun told Li Xun a few truths.

First, the current Zhan Bai has fallen into a desperate situation, just like a gambler, losing everything, and finally gambling with his own life in this last game, this is an outlaw, we can't fight with him, and Fan Zhongyun said with certainty that even if we don't move, Zhan Bai's demise is a foregone conclusion.

Now three days have passed, Zhan Bai has attacked Qicheng with an army of 50,000, but in the face of only 6,000 defenders, he has not been able to attack for a long time, which can only show a truth, the military spirit of Zhan Bai's army has begun to be chaotic.

Second, Li Xun sent troops to the Western Regions, in fact, out of self-preservation, because Zhan Bai already had a plan to use troops against Longyou, if you don't fight, you can only be beaten, so Li Xun finally listened to Fan Zhongyun's suggestion and decided to take action first, gather all forces, and suddenly attack Xizhou, moreover, Fan Zhongyun and Li Xun's plan before sending troops to the Western Regions, thinking of the best prospect, is only to occupy the eastern part of the Western Regions, with Zhenshi City as the boundary, and form a confrontation with Zhan Bai, so as to ensure the safety of the Longyou base camp, but the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, Li Xun didn't expect it, and Zhan Bai didn't expect that Hammer Erqi's back move, Hou Quan's successful sneak attack on Xingcheng, caused the heart of Zhan Bai's army to be shaken, and in the end, Zhan Heng took the initiative and buried nearly 100,000 troops in vain, and so on, a series of changes made the whole situation completely change, giving Li Xun the possibility of occupying the entire Western Regions.

Third, Li Xun now has the opportunity to completely eliminate Zhan Bai and then occupy the entire Western Regions, Li Xun has this thought, but he is opposed by Fan Zhongyun, his mind is still very calm, and he analyzes for Li Xun.

Li Xun still has more than 50,000 troops in his hands, and the territory of the Western Regions is so vast, so many troops, if they want to completely occupy the Western Regions, it is somewhat reluctant, and there is also the Persian Empire, this powerful empire, used to be the biggest threat to Zhan Bai, after Zhan Bai was eliminated, this threat naturally became passed to Li Xun, how to face it then?

Fan Zhongyun has just one meaning, we can take all of them in the Western Regions now, but can we hold it?

After Fan Zhongyun's persuasion, Li Xun calmed down, he felt that what Fan Zhongyun said was very reasonable, there was probably a fire pit in front of him, if he jumped into it rashly, he might not be able to steal a handful of rice, and finally hurt himself.

Li Xun has been receiving the kings and dignitaries of the eastern and northern countries of the Western Regions for the past few days, and has been appeasing them with a kind face.

Li Xun is in the living room to receive the kings and magnates of the northern and eastern kingdoms of the Western Regions, Li Xun is talking eloquently above, while the magnates of the Western Regions below are a little silent, although Li Xun is kind on his face, he looks kind to them, and his words are very beautiful, but everyone will say beautiful words, what is Li Xun's true intention, and how will he treat them? Moreover, Zhan Bai has not yet been completely defeated, and the southern, central, and western parts of the Western Regions have not yet fallen, and it is impossible for them to be in a hurry to make a statement, and even if they do, it will be false.

The king of Haolan Kingdom, Zheman, walked in, and when Li Xun saw him, he hurriedly waved his hand and asked him to sit beside him.

Zheman glanced at everyone present, walked forward with his head down, saluted Li Xun, and then came to sit down beside him.

Li Xun looked at Zheman and said with a smile on his face: "King Zheman, you are the king of a country, so I should go to visit, but there is no way, there is military tension here, and I can't leave, so I can only let you have a hard time." ”

"Adults have heavy responsibilities, how can they move lightly, Xiao Wang takes two more steps, it's nothing, and it can't be compared with adults."

Zheman stood up and bowed, with a very humble attitude.

When the others saw Zheman's appearance, their faces suddenly showed contempt.

Li Xun waved his hand and motioned for Zhiman to sit down and speak.

Zheman sat down and asked cautiously, "I don't know if the adults called me here, what's the matter?" ”

"Don't worry, you came all the way, and you are also lucky, drink a cup of tea first and take a breath."

"Yes, sir."

Li Xun picked up the teacup and glanced at the people present, only two kings in the north came, and the other kings did not come, but only sent messengers, Li Xun remembered that the order he conveyed to Hou Quan was very situation, to all the kings in the north and east were to come in person, Hou Quan would definitely not change his orders, since this is the case, it is very simple, those kings who did not come, it is not that they do not know their orders, but they do not want to come at all, and the six kings of the seven eastern countries are all coming, and some are here together with the deputy king, it seems to be very important, but that is only the surface, the eastern part of the Western Regions is under their own troops, close at hand, they dare not come.
