A huge problem was placed in front of Su Ding's side - big food. (Read and see the net)**Bubble!*

Nanting Coach Ba Ximi sent someone to deliver the letter, and Gongyue City was successfully won as scheduled. According to the strategy formulated by Su Dingfang in advance, the coalition army used this as a basis to rest and regroup their troops and horses, waiting for the opportunity to launch the final battle against Beiting. Although this is good news, it also means that the more than 200,000 allied troops are already overwhelmed, and it is impossible to be transferred to Samad to deal with the great cannibals who may forcibly knock on the border at any time.

Today's big food country is just like the sky. They had just swept away the Persian conquest of the Sassanid Empire. Persia is located between the Great Eclipse Territory and the Western Regions, and is a typical springboard. Putting aside the past grievances, the Great Cannibal should have set his sights further on the Silk Road covered with gold.

The first to bear the brunt was the construction of the city of Kangguo Samo, which was incomparably wealthy.

Originally, the Great Cannibals wanted to set foot in the Western Regions in the fastest, easiest and most time-saving way, that is, the Kang people took the initiative to invite them in.

But now, Nurman, the commander of the Great Food Army, has finished working on Balerikhan, the inner spy he planted in Kangguo, and the plan he has been working on for a long time has also come to naught.

However, this does not mean that Nurman will easily give up the fat of the Western Regions. The hard work of defeating Persia is only a prelude, and if the 300,000 troops are withdrawn from the Sam River at this time, this is not the style of Nurman, a fierce commander, and he will not be able to explain to the caliph of the great food when he returns.

(The caliphate, the supreme leader of the Arab states governed by religion, means "heir of the Messenger of Allah.") ）

Great cannibal, the arrow is wound. Su Dingfang had to respond.

At present, he has only 50,000 soldiers who can fight habitually. The Kang ** team, which has just been recruited, is simply a scattered rabble.

Facts have proved that Kangguo's commercial atmosphere is indeed outrageous, and even the people in the army do not forget to do business and make profits from time to time. Because there is no war all year round, many soldiers secretly bring the war horse home as a commercial pack horse. The armor weapons in the treasury were rusty, and many of the baggage equipment had obviously been cut corners. Even military rations, forage, and bedding were taken out and resold by unscrupulous generals who used their power for personal gain.

Su Dingfang had a headache. He repeatedly streamlined and reduced the army built by Sama, and finally integrated a team of 10,000 people, which was barely usable.

In this way, Su Dingfang has only 60,000 people on his hands. In the face of the 300,000 Great Eclipse army west of the Samu River, the number was extremely disparity. Moreover, this army of Great Food is not a dry meal, they swept through the Arabian Peninsula like a whirlwind, and established a powerful Great Food Empire in one fell swoop; He also destroyed the old rival Persian Dynasty with the power of destruction. And the commander of this army, Nurman, is famous for his military achievements, he is recognized as a military genius and a synonym for invincibility in the Arabian Peninsula, and is "the god of war sent by Allah to protect the Muslims."

Compared with Nurman, Garqinling and Qin Mubai are young juniors who are alive and well, and they can only look at them. To make an analogy, Nurman is like a pharmacist in the Arabian Peninsula.

Nurman's 30th army was still eyeing the west of the Samu River and did not move, but Su Dingfang obviously had a sense of being overwhelmed by Mount Tai. This was a crisis that he had not anticipated before coming to the Western Regions. If it weren't for the fact that Wu Meiniang came to Kangguo this time and debunked this plan by mistake, and when Su Dingfang and Beiting were both killed and defeated, Nurman's iron hooves would have stepped into the Western Regions again, and it would have been really too late.

"At this time, it must be both!" Wu Meiniang admonished Su Dingfang, "First, in the name of the suzerainty of Zhaowu Jiu, please ask the Queen of the Crescent Moon to send an invitation and an order, so that the other eight countries can send troops to help. After all, the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu are deeply connected with each other, and I believe that they should not refuse; Second, quickly report the situation to the Kansai coach, Qin Mubai! ”

Su Dingfang almost thought of going with her, so he immediately started to do it. He wrote a letter and sent it to Lanzhou in an urgent 600 miles to report the invasion of the Great Food to Qin Mubai. This matter is no longer just a dispute in the Western Regions, if the powerful Great Food Country also wants to enter the Western Regions, then there will inevitably be a life-and-death contest between the two great empires of the East and the West.

Such a militaristic plan has gone beyond the scope of authority that Su Dingfang, a general of the Kansai Army, can control.

Before Kang Guo issued invitations and orders to the other eight countries, Wu Meiniang officially took office and became Kang Guo's first assistant minister. And the venomous snake Balerikham, who was full of sins and bad deeds, had completely lost its value at this time. The new king, Murong Mingzhu, the new moon queen, made all his crimes public, and then, in the name of Allah, burned the poisonous snake in public in the city of Kangguo.

In this way, Murong Mingzhu can be regarded as avenging his family.

Wu Meiniang, on the other hand, took the vacancy left by Balerihan and was in charge of Kangguo's military and diplomacy. Due to her special relationship with the Crescent Moon Queen, and the fact that Kang Guo has now submitted to the Tang Dynasty, Wu Meiniang has actually become Kang Guo's unique minister. The other two ministers in charge of the economy, people's livelihood and religious laws can only look at the horse.

A new broom sweeps clean. Wu Meiniang first sent a messenger to inform the monarchs of the other eight countries to come to attend the coronation ceremony of the new king of the suzerain. Then, they were gathered together to explain in public the great crisis facing the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu today. Wu Meiniang persuaded them that at this time, only by relying on the powerful Tang Empire as the backing, and themselves must unite and unite against the Great Eclipse, can they protect the clan and the country.

Because everyone has common interests and enemies, and they are facing the same crises and difficulties at this time, Wu Meiniang's persuasion work did not take much effort and achieved complete success. The monarchs of the eight kingdoms were willing to help each other and send troops and horses to unite with Su Dingfang, the marshal of the Tang Dynasty's Western Expedition, to fight against the Great Food Country.

Su Dingfang's deterrent power played an extremely important role in this process. At the same time, the peaceful resolution of the Kangguo issue also made the other eight countries breathe a sigh of relief, and they could confidently and boldly follow Kangguo's example and join the Tang Dynasty.

In this way, within a short time, the other eight countries successively sent 150,000 horses to gather in Samajian. Although these countries are similar to Kangguo and are not good at military warfare, they are also not poor. At this time, those who have money and soldiers send troops, Su Dingfang really has an addiction to "rich shopkeepers" - the food and military salaries of the nine countries are enough for every sergeant to mix in the army for ten years without worry!

Although the nine surnames of Zhaowu, who are also descendants of the Dayue clan, they serve Kang as the suzerain. But for nearly a hundred years, they were independent of each other and rarely interacted with each other. Now, it has been twisted into a rope by a pair of Wu Meiniang's wonderful hands.

At this time, the people of the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms had a little sense of going back to their origins, and the invasion of foreign enemies also made the people of the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms realize the importance of unity. So, there is a voice that also quietly came into being - the division is weak, and the unity is strong, since our Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms are born from the same root and have been divided for hundreds of years, why not reunite at this time, form a unified Dayue Clan, and reproduce the ancient glory of the ancestors?

Due to the imminent war, the matter has not been formally discussed for the time being. The Queen of the Crescent Moon was elected by the Governors of the Nine Kingdoms as the Generalissimo of the "Zhaowu Nine Surnames Alliance". Naturally, the queen could not really take command of the expedition, so she entrusted the army with carte blanche to the Minister of Military Affairs Wu Meiniang, and asked her to "command" the Zhaowu army and Su Dingfang to go to the Samu River to resist the Great Food.

In less than half a month, Wu Meiniang, who was originally a businesswoman, became the first assistant minister of Kangguo. Now, she is in charge of the army with the authority in her hands, and she has achieved "going out of the general and entering the phase" one step earlier than Qin Mubai. Because of a series of events before and after, her prestige and reputation soared like the sky. Her wisdom and courage, just like her peerless appearance, made every Yizhao martial artist amazed and admired.

……

Lanzhou, the official of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion came today with a long-lost guest.

Yuwen Hongtai took his baby son Yuwen Wushuang and Xue Rengui to find Qin Mubai together, saying that there was something important to ask him for "comment".

Qin Mubai was very happy to see Yuwen Hongtai. This man was seriously wounded in the battle of the capture of the Garqin Tomb, and after several months of bed rest, he was finally able to walk on the ground.

"Kuroko, seeing that you don't look happy, why are you coming to me?" Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"Third brother, listen to me!" Yuwen Hongtai hurriedly said, "This surnamed Xue is too bad for me to lose face!" - I told him 800 times, asking him to accept my son Wushuang as an apprentice, but he was stunned and didn't accept it! Third brother, why didn't he accept it? ”

Qin Mubai laughed, "Heizi, this is your fault." You have a request for others, whether Rengui agrees or not is his business, how can you be strong? ”

Xue Rengui also smiled helplessly: "Mu Bai, Hong Tai, it's not that I refuse to accept Wushuang as an apprentice. One is that he is still too young to see the bones. Second, Xue's martial arts are all self-created, and the requirements for talent are very special. Fang Tian's halberd is a weapon, if it is not for a person who is born with divine power, he will not be able to learn it. If you are reluctant to practice, not only will you not achieve anything from practice, but you may also hurt yourself. ”

"Phew!" Yuwen Hongtai spat in annoyance, "Look at my precious son, born black and strong, it is simply carved out of my membrane." How can there be no strength? ”

Qin Mubai smiled even more happily and said, "It's okay to wait a few years, why are you in a hurry?" Your son hasn't been weaned yet! ”

"Humph!" Yuwen Hongtai rolled his eyes a few times in annoyance, and then said nothing more.

At this time, there was a burst of giggling and laughter from the back hall, and from a distance, it was Princess Gaoyang's voice shouting-"Hey, Sister Yan! You're so unkind! Why did you ask her the truth when the blood lotus lost, I lost, I lost, I lost and I had to draw a flower cat on my face? ”

"That's because your face is whiter, prettier, and more beautiful!"

“…… I'm not doing it! Together, you bully me! ”

Yuwen Hongtai and Xue Rengui listened to it, and they were funny and wrong. Qin Mubai coughed dryly twice and laughed: "I was idle and bored, so I took them to play a small game, 'Truth or Dare'." ”

"What, is it more fun than the horns and the cattails? Let me look at ......" Yuwen Hongtai was stunned and was about to rush in.

Xue Rengui grabbed him, "Say you're stupid, you're still guilty of donkeys!" ”

Qin Mubai smiled, "Come here, I still have something to tell you." Go to the study. ”

The three of them went to the study together and sat down, Qin Mubai said, "I know that there is one thing that the people below have been speculating and talking about. Why has it been so long since we pacified Tibet, and there has been no movement on the side of the imperial court? ”

"yes!" Yuwen Hongtai said quickly, "Although we don't expect to get any rewards for being promoted to an official and getting rich, but after laying down an entire Tubo Plateau, the court won't let us put a fart." What is the reasoning behind this? ”

Xue Rengui said: "I think there may be several reasons. First, the plateau pacified Tubo, and now the focus of the imperial court is on settling the people and taking over the territory, which must be quite busy. Secondly, this time we are different from the previous times, we have subdued a whole country and nation. Now is an important juncture of national integration, and if the imperial court celebrates and praises our generals at this time, it will cause some dissatisfaction among the Tibetan people. I heard that the former Zanpu of Tubo abandoned the sect and went to Chang'an, but he was treated with courtesy and preferential treatment by His Majesty the Emperor. His Majesty named him the 'King of Quy Nhon County', and personally bestowed on the good land and treasures and countless beauties. The Tubo royal family and nobles who returned to the Tang Dynasty and went to Chang'an with him were rewarded and treated. In order to appease the hearts of the people on the plateau, His Majesty and the imperial court have made great efforts. Therefore, I think that the imperial court is now focusing on appeasement, and the matter of showing meritorious deeds will definitely be pressed back. ”

"Oh, it's still insightful. Hong Tai, you have grown muscles in your brain, when will you open your mind? Qin Mubai smiled, "Actually, there is another reason. Although on the surface, our Kwantan Army defeated Tibet, and it is already a complete merit. But in reality, not yet. Don't forget, the imperial court named me the 'Protector of Anxi'. The conquest of the plateau is only part of my duty. Now, Su Dingfang has gone to the Western Regions and is doing a good job. However, I asked the imperial court to let Su Dingfang take charge of the Western Regions in my place, but I was refused. That means I'll go to the Western Regions sooner or later. The Kansai Army, there are many more missions that have not been completed. ”

"That's wow!" Yuwen Hongtai's excitement came up at once, "I've been lying on the bed for a few months, and I'm going to grow hair in my bones!" When will you leave for the Western Regions? ”

Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Don't worry, but it's fast." After the first battle, our soldiers were overdrawn from fatigue, and now they have recuperated for a few months, and they have almost recovered. After the war, I only brought tens of thousands of horses with my headquarters back to Lanzhou. Recently, many soldiers and horses, including those of various Tibetan tribes in the past, have been withdrawn from the plateau, or returned to Guannei, or returned to Lanzhou, or divided into the military government of Zhuzhou County. Li Tao is outside, and now he is in charge of the military department is Fang Xuanling, and he takes good care of me Qin. In the past, almost all of the tens of thousands of Kunlun iron horsemen under the command of Galkin Mausoleum were allocated to my command. Now the Kwansai Army has grown to a full 300,000 men. It can also be seen from this that the imperial court still hopes that our Kansai Army will continue to forge ahead. ”

"That's a good thing!" Xue Rengui and Yuwen Hongtai showed joy together.

The Kansai Army is now really strong. Especially when you get the "Kunlun Iron Cavalry", these soldiers are veritable proud soldiers and war machines.

"Rengui, Hong Tai, inform the other brothers, after the recuperation, we have something to do again - from now on, all the generals will return to their positions, train their troops and horses, and prepare for battle!"
