"Brother Xin, Changqing!"

Pei Min shouted excitedly.

"Pei Shuai!"

Feng Changqing and Yan Gaoqing are also reincarnated, and they are very excited.

They were ready to do so, and as a result, the unknown creature flew through the air over the Arab military camp and escaped from the sea of suffering.

This kind of experience is definitely unprecedented.

"It's great to see you alive!"

Pei Min was full of emotion, he never gave up the idea of Feng Changqing and Yan Gaoqing. But he clearly understood in his heart that the chance of rescuing Feng Changqing and Yan Gaoqing was infinitely zero.

Against the Arabs, the Tang Army did not have a crushing advantage. On the contrary, it is at a strategic disadvantage......

If the Arabians really want to attack the city of Tuozhe, they will be able to take it in less than three or five days.

Even if he didn't count the casualties of the attack, Pei Min asked himself if he could win the Arab battle with nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses in three or five days under the condition of strategic disadvantage, and rescue Feng Changqing and Yan Gaoqing before the fall of the city.

The value and significance of the existence of Feng Changqing and Yan Gaoqing are worthy of sacrifice by thousands of troops. No matter how much sacrifice can be used, it may not be exchanged for sealing the lives of Chang Qing and Yan Gaoqing.

The more he understood the situation, the more worried Pei Min became.

All he could do was to stand still, so that the Arabs would not be able to resist the idea of attacking.

It wasn't until today that I saw with my own eyes that my confidants and beloved generals were unharmed, and I relaxed.

"I've seen the county king!"

Pei Min didn't care about the kings of the Western Regions, but the kings of the Western Regions couldn't help but express their gratitude.

Especially the way Pei Min saved them this time was too incredible.

Whether it is Pei Min or Feng Changqing and Yan Gaoqing in the city, they dare not have 100% trust in the kings of the Western Regions.

Therefore, it was only when the kings of the Western Regions decided to retreat that they saw the hot air balloon for the first time, and only then did they know that the Tang army had arranged a retreat and planned to take a simple thing to the sky.

In the face of the hot air balloon, the kings of the Western Regions did not even have the courage to ride.

Don't say it's them, even Feng Changqing and Yan Gaoqing have no spectrum in their hearts.

In this era, no one has ever had the experience of flying.

It was under the strong persecution of the Tang Army that the kings of the Western Regions reluctantly got into the hot air balloon.

This flying at a height of more than 100 zhang may be nothing to future generations. But in ancient times, it was a miracle and an unbelievable thing.

One by one, the well-informed and well-known kings couldn't help swinging on the hot air balloon, crying for their fathers and calling their mothers, and those with fear of heights even peed their pants directly, which was full of ugliness.

Now that he is really out of danger, recalling his escape, the kings of all countries only think that Pei Min has the help of the gods.

Except for the immortals, who has the ability to make them fly?

At this moment, one by one, the kings of the Western Regions knelt on the ground and bowed to Pei Min to thank him, and his heart was even more determined to follow the Tang Dynasty: A person who is blessed by the gods, how can there be any reason to lose?

The change in the thinking of the kings of the Western Regions made Pei Min have an unexpected surprise, but he was also happy to do it.

The details of the principle of the hot air balloon, he did not intend to reveal to the public.

The truth of making a fortune in a muffled voice, Pei Min still knows it.

"Get up!" Pei Min said righteously: "You are all subjects of my dynasty, and my dynasty will naturally protect you, even if you go to heaven and earth, I will rescue you." Worrying and being afraid along the way has also made you suffer. You should each go back to the camp to rest, sort out the affairs of the state by the way, and then report back to me, and talk later. ”

The kings of the Western Regions thanked each other before leaving.

Pei Min pulled Feng Changqing and Yan Gaoqing to speak.

"Why are you trapped in Tuozhi City together, is there any special reason?"

Pei Min has always had a question, this expedition, the Arab organs have been exhausted, and they have made sufficient preparations, and it is not surprising that the Tang army is careless and in a predicament.

It's strange that almost all the kings of the Western Regions with important status are trapped in Tuozhi City.

As the richest country in the Western Regions, Shiguo has made friends all over the Western Regions. There is a festive event in this country, and it is not surprising that it will be praised by all the nations. But the kings of the entire Western Regions are involved in it, and there is really no reason behind this, Pei Min really doesn't believe it.

Feng Changqing and Yan Gaoqing glanced at each other.

In the end, Yan Gaoqing said: "This time all the countries gathered in Shiguo, not so much because of Shiguo, but for my Tang Dynasty." Just before the Arabs sent their troops, there was not a word spread in the Western Regions. said that the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty ascended the throne, Pei Shuai was transferred from Liangzhou, and entered the court as the prime minister, the imperial court's attitude towards the Western Regions will change, and it will not pay attention to the development of the West, but turn to internal governance. A certain and the envoy of the festival consulted, rather than let the countries guess and think, it is better to prove it with practical actions. Shi Guo is one of the countries in the Western Regions that is closest to our dynasty, and a certain one went with the Jiedu envoy, on the one hand, to smash unfavorable remarks, and on the other hand, it can also reflect the importance we attach to Shi Guo. ”

Feng Changqing also said at this time: "The Arab attack on the Western Regions for the first time, for Pei Shuai to contain the Kabul River, the last general found that the Arab military center of gravity had withdrawn from Tianzhu. This move shows that the Arab side has abandoned its strategic intention to move from south to north. The last general estimated that if Arabia returned, it would go up to Tochar. Avoid water warfare to which they are not suited, and instead advance from west to east by land warfare. If this is the case, the Stone Kingdom will be a crucial decisive battle area, and the cities of Tuozhi and Talas under its jurisdiction will be the stepping stone for the Arabs to advance eastward, and the last general will also want to take this opportunity to establish good relations with the Stone Kingdom in order to cope with the future situation. This time Shi Guoxing was decided by me and Changshi together. The kings of the other countries, probably seeing that the two of us were participating, also wanted to come and get close. ”

Pei Min waved his hand and said, "I see, you don't need to be responsible, I don't mean to blame you." I just think it's a little abnormal...... Your actions are reasonable, but no one expected the Arab ones to move so quickly. Hey, sure enough, the hero sees the same thing, in fact, many years ago, I estimated that Arabia would go to Tocharian and let Lin Fu have a good relationship with the king of Shiguo. ”

Seeing that Feng Changqing and Yan Gaoqing both looked a little tired, they also knew that they were under a lot of pressure during the siege, and Pei Min didn't talk to them in detail and let them rest.

Next, Pei Min returned directly to his military tent, thinking about the next plan of action: Feng Changqing, Yan Gaoqing and the kings of the Western Regions successfully rescued him, which meant that the Tang army moved back to a strategic disadvantage and was in an equal situation with Arabia.

How to focus on the enemy and regain the initiative in the battle situation is what Pei Min thinks about in his heart.

Pei Min used mysterious means to rescue the kings of the Western Regions from Tuozhi City, and soon spread throughout the military camp.

Except for the members who will be the prisoners, everyone else does not know the principle of hot air balloons, and all kinds of strange myths are constantly coming: all kinds of fairy theories are endless......

Ashinash, who was located in the corner of the barracks, heard the news, and his heart was terrified, his face was a little pale, and he almost didn't hesitate at all, and rushed directly to Pei Min's handsome tent.

Pei Min met Ashina Shi in his handsome tent.

"Ashinashi has seen the ...... of the county king"

The patriarch of Qarluq chose to kneel on the ground and perform the most solemn and pious courtesy.

"Patriarch, no need to be polite!"

Pei Min was a little surprised, stepped forward to help him up, and said, "The patriarch came just in time, and I happened to have a task for you to do." Thinking that someone will summon you to the account tomorrow, since you are here today, let's arrange it together. ”

Ashina Shi hurriedly said: "The king of the county can command, to be able to serve the Celestial Empire and the king of the county, it is the honor of my Qarlu tribe, and it is also the blessing of my Ashinash. I, Gelulu, have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and I am willing to shed every drop of blood for the Celestial Empire and the county king. ”

Pei Min said: "The patriarch is serious, and now the actions of Ben Shuai and the other party are a little restrained. All avoided head-on conflict and waited for the best moment. However, the confrontation of small forces on the side is not uncommon, especially the duel between the wandering horses and horses, which is particularly intense. I am a little weak in this respect, especially in riding and archery, which is inferior to your people on horseback. You select some soldiers from the army who are good at cavalry and archery, and cooperate with our guerrilla army to roam in all directions, detouring the enemy's flank and causing trouble. ”

Ashinash said in a loud voice: "I will arrange it immediately when I go back, and choose the warriors who are the best at riding and archery in the army, and ensure that I will not disappoint the county king." As he spoke, he took out a piece of sheepskin cloth from his bosom, and respectfully raised his hands and said, "The king of the county, I have come to ask for a meeting today, and I have come here to offer treasures." ”

Pei Min took the sheepskin cloth curiously, spread it out and looked at it carefully, just glanced at it and was a little moved, looked carefully, and read out loud: "Three thousand gold, fifty pairs of pearls and agate, one hundred diamonds, five hundred Damascus knives, one thousand quintals of spices, what a big stroke." It's more than the sum of my possessions, and I'm red-eyed. The whole Gerlulu clan can't get these treasures, can they? ”

Ashina Shi smiled embarrassedly: "My Qarlu is not only cattle, sheep and horses, but also some beast skins, where can I get these treasures." These were sent to me by a general named Landa in Arabia, saying that he wanted me to help them deal with the king of the county, and these were just deposits, and after success, there would be heavy thanks. ”

Pei Min was not surprised, he knew about the unstable factors in Qarlu from the beginning, and he was on guard against them.

In history, Gao Xianzhi was defeated by Ge Lulu's betrayal, how could Pei Min be careless as a traverser?

Therefore, he did not give Qarlu room to rebel at all, and the 20,000 Qarluq cavalry who came with the army either obeyed his orders or surrounded and annihilated the Tang army, and there was no other choice.

Ashina Shi is a smart man, and Pei Min believes that he will not forcibly rebel without a chance.

This kind of behavior that harms others and is not beneficial to oneself, Ashina Shi will not do it.

It's just that Ashina Shi is so frank that Pei Min was a little unexpected.

"Then how did Patriarch Ashina reply?" Pei Min looked at Ashina Shi thoughtfully.

Ashina Shi said respectfully: "There is no reason not to collect the wealth that fell from the sky, as for rebelling against the county king, it is absolutely impossible." Ashina Shi is fiercely loyal to the Celestial Empire and the county king, and the sun and the moon can be seen, and he does not dare to have the slightest intention of rebellion. ”

As he spoke, he fell on his knees and bowed to the ground.

These words are words from the heart.

As Landa predicted, Pei Min forced Ashina Shi to kill his own people, and Ashina Shi had resentment in his heart.

Qarluq is not the original Qarluq, even if he did not establish a khanate like the Hui Hui, but he is still a powerful man in the northwest, no longer a small mercenary.

Ashina Shi felt that with his current strength, he should be respected.

Pei Min didn't give him the respect he had, and he didn't even give him any face.

It's just that Pei Min and the Tang Dynasty are too strong, and he can only choose to give in.

If there is really a chance for revenge, as long as the interests are sufficient, Ashina Shi will not hesitate to turn against him.

Therefore, Ashinash did not explicitly agree to Landalai's lobbying, but he did not choose to refuse.

Interests are the key to determining his next move......

But after Pei Min rescued the kings of the Western Regions, Ashina Shi experienced a kind of fear in his bones. How terrifying is the intelligence and ability of a man who can rescue the kings of the Western Regions from an army of 200,000 without knowing it, without spending soldiers...... He suddenly realized that it was not Pei Min who didn't give him face, but that he himself had swelled up and moved his mind that shouldn't have been moved.

Originally, Ashina Shi was full of fear and fear for Pei Min, the invincible marshal of the Tang Dynasty, but after this incident, this fear gradually evolved into awe and respect.

At this moment, Ashina Shi had only one thought in his heart.

As long as Pei Min is present in the Tang Dynasty, Ge Lulu will always be the knife of the Tang Dynasty, and he will never dare to oppose it.

At this moment, Ashinash experienced the same feeling as the Hui Khan.

Pei Min smiled and helped Ashina Shi to his feet, and said, "The patriarch doesn't need to make this big gift, so let's do it, you and I will divide this wealth in half." As you said, how can there be any reason why the wealth that falls from heaven should not be collected? As for the next thing, you just like now, you don't agree, you don't object, you just fish. Perhaps, the key to victory or defeat is not necessarily in the patriarch! ”

Pei Min laughed without suspicion and patted Ashina Shi's shoulder to express his attitude.

Ashina Shi smiled back awkwardly, and his underwear was instantly soaked.

What he said to Pei Min was refusal, but what Pei Min said here was fishing.

What does this mean?

Of course, Ashina Shi knew his true choice, but in addition to being afraid, he had a feeling of escaping death, bent down slightly, and didn't even dare to straighten up, and said: "This windfall, the hot hand to take, I really don't dare to accept it." ”

Ashina Shi instinctively felt that if he wanted to live, there was no second way to go except to hug Pei Min's thigh.

"So be it!" Pei Min touched his chin and said, "I'm seven and you're three, so it's decided." I've never done anything to swallow this nonsense, it should be yours, it's yours, no one can snatch it away, it shouldn't be yours, you don't have that life! ”

"Understood!" A little joy welled up in Ashinashi's heart, and there were no less than three percent.

As for all of the before, he didn't dare to think about it now.

These three percent are only taken steadily.
