Chapter 222: Inner Choice

At nightfall, the main force of Jian Yuwei led by Guo Xi finally returned to the secret camp.

Yang Qing looked at the gray-faced Guo Xi, and the worry in his heart was put down.

"What? I took my sons and daughters around in the desert for a day, and I didn't see a few game meats come back? Yang Qing grinned indifferently, and his right hand inadvertently gently brushed away the sand grains on Guo Xi's shoulder.

"The meat of the big man-eater is sour and smelly, do you want to eat it?" Guo Xi smiled faintly, as if he was not quite comfortable with Yang Qing's movements that seemed too numb, and gently turned sideways to avoid his "magic hand". "But the big eater horse is really a good horse, but it's a pity that I can't catch some alive."

Zhang Ji's pupils constricted: "Xilie...... Or did you meet the Great Food Army? Still dry? ”

Although Gao Xianzhi's eyes were still staring at the "Taigong Liutao" in his hand, his mind had already been attracted by Guo Xi's words, and like Yang Qing, he had already pricked up his ears.

"It's the 30,000-strong team of the palace, it's just a thousand people, it's not worth mentioning." Guo Xi still looked like an old god, took off his armor, took the towel handed by his own soldiers, and walked to the basin without hurrying.

"What about the casualties?" Zhang Ji was a little anxious in his heart, although Jian Yuwei, who went to the Western Regions, was nominally under the control of Gao Xianzhi in Anxi, but after all, it was the Son of Heaven's own army, if the casualties were too great, the face of the saint would ......

Guo Xi was slightly stunned, and paused before saying, "I captured more than 20 captives who could survive." The rest...... Time was pressing, and I didn't dare to count it. Estimate...... No less than eight hundred. ”

Guo Xi is an honest child, he said that 800 must be only a lot more, obediently, that is a team of 1,000 people! Annihilation? Zhang Ji's eyes were a little straight, how much should Jian Yuwei lose? Those boys are all dolls who haven't fought in Guanzhong! Won't it really answer the old saying - hurt the enemy a thousand, hurt yourself eight hundred, right?

"That'...... Our brothers? There was a tremor in Zhang Ji's voice.

Guo Xi shook his head: "Dozens of injuries." Haven't you ever fought a real battle......"

"Smack!" "Taigong Liutao" fell to the ground.

Guo Xi turned his head in surprise, and saw that behind Zhang Ji, who was full of shock, Gao Xianzhi was picking up books in a hurry.

"I didn't ...... Didn't die a single one? Zhang Ji swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty.

Guo Xi came back to his senses a little at this time, and was slightly apologetic: "It's nothing." It was originally an ambush, and four thousand people caught the high ground on both sides of the trail, and after three volleys, there were only a few left. These boys were not angry, and the last general did not remind them in time, and they were injured dozens of times by pretending to be dead. ”

"Crossbow?" Gao Xianzhi's voice was as calm as before, but the horror in his heart was surging, Guo Xi said it lightly, but even if four thousand people ambushed a thousand-man cavalry team, all the enemy was annihilated and only less than a hundred were injured, and none of them died, everyone who has fought knows how difficult it is.

Guo Xi immediately understood what Gao Xianzhi was referring to, his legs were slightly together, and he replied in a deep voice: "Gao Gong, please rest assured, all the crossbow arrows have been retrieved, and the big cannibal cannibal can't tell the difference from the wound alone - after all, the crossbow arrows used by the Anxi Army and my Jian Yuwei are no different except for the difference between the arrows. ”

"Huh!" Gao Xianzhi Huo Ran stood up: "So so, rest assured!" This matter will be handed over to Xilie! ”

Guo Xi just wiped his face, listening to this incomprehensible words, he suddenly froze on the spot.

"Hehe, Xilie still doesn't know what kind of amazing news Ziyin brought back to the camp before you, right? Yuanji, you tell Xilie about it. ”

Guo Xihu turned his head suspiciously and met Zhang Ji with a solemn expression.

After Zhang Ji finished speaking, Guo Xi's back was already soaked. This news is more intense than the pressure and fear brought by commanding Jian Yuwei to completely annihilate a large team of 1,000 people.

"Ziyin, thanks to your cleverness, otherwise we would have to suffer a big loss!"

Yang Qing smiled slightly: "Alert? Heel's reputation is overrated, and I'm a blessing at best. Luck, luck! ”

"Alright, time is pressing, we have to start setting it up right away!" Gao Xianzhi gave an order, and the four people in the tent quickly surrounded him.

"There is a stalemate ahead, the big cannibals are counting on the plot to fall into the Ganda's side, Gao didn't settle the backyard matter, and he didn't want to force them too hard. However, the patience of the big cannibals is limited, after all, they have many mouths to eat, and they can't delay it for too long, so I only gave Mouluo Qili one day. Tomorrow is the beginning of the day, is the time to see! Xilie, you took Jian Yuwei on a hard trip, if you can really afford to help him, you will help him to calm the situation! There are many Gelulu people, but they may not really have the courage to fight hard with my Tang Dynasty! ”

Guo Xi nodded slowly. Zhang Ji couldn't suppress his worries, and asked about the possible scenes that he didn't want to see:

"Gao Gong, if you don't have the courage to beg for a while, or ...... He is basically trying to save his life for a while, and he will run back to tell us after perfunctory? ”

Gao Xianzhi slowly raised his head, and the murderous aura in his eyes was full of murder: "If this is the case, but there are obsessed and rebellious people, there is no forgiveness for killing!" ”

The scorching sun began to set in the west, and it had been a long time since he sat in his tent.

He hadn't slept all night, his eyes were already bloodshot, and his body was full of exhaustion from the inside out, but it was not the result of lack of sleep.

There wasn't much time left for him, and in two hours, the Anxi army would come to the door. As a result, he either became the new leader of Qarluq, or the warriors of the Ju clan were slaughtered cleanlyβ€”Mou Luo Qili had no doubt that Gao Xianzhi had such a heart and means. In this way, the fate of the old, weak, women and children left behind by the 30,000 soldiers of Qarluku can be imagined.

After thinking about it, there are only three paths you can choose.

The first is to tell the uncle the news immediately, in this way, it will definitely not work to act in advance - it is impossible for the Anxi army not to be prepared. The best result is to turn around and run wildly, return to the lofty mountains where the tribe is located, keep this army that is still capable of fighting, and bear the never-ending revenge of the Tang Dynasty until the clan is wiped out.

The second is to leave quietly, no matter how Datang deals with the plot to fall into Qianda, just like this incognito aggrieved - anyway, after this matter, no matter who wins or loses, no one will allow themselves to settle down, whether it is a big food or a big Tang Dynasty, it is impossible to accept themselves. Qarluq? It is destined to be erased, and it is not your turn to think about it.

Three...... Listen to Gao Xianzhi's words, kill Uncle Kill and stand on his own, closely follow the pace of Datang, and fight against the powerful Great Food? It's dangerous!

He closed his eyes in pain.

The second road is actually not a road, how can I allow my wisdom and ambition to be buried in this way?! I don't want this kind of life that is worse than death!

The first way? In fact, it is no longer possible, if I had discussed it with my uncle as soon as I returned to the camp last night, maybe there was still a possibility of first-line implementation, now? I'm afraid the Anxi army has surrounded Qarlu.

Mou Luo Qili opened his eyes in horror, why would I make the first path impossible? Could it be that I couldn't come up with these ways out in the first place? By no means! Could it be that I have always made up my mind to take the third way in my heart......
