Just as Li Wenyuan and Zhang Juntai were talking about this, they had already rushed to the forefront of the battle. A small soldier next to him stepped forward to report and said to Zhang Juntai: "General, the palace has been broken." The enemy's will to resist is getting weaker and weaker, and our army has already captured a third of the palace, and it is expected that the battle will be over soon. ”

Before Zhang Juntai could nod his head to indicate that he already knew, another officer ran over and said, "General, the king of Gaochang, Lu Boren, hopes to have a conversation with you, but the matter is very high, and we, the junior officers, have no right to decide." Maintaining the suppression of the Gaochang army guarding the palace, and at the same time slowing down the pace of the attack, how do you think this matter should be handled? ”

After Zhang Juntai heard this, he hurriedly asked Li Wenyuan on the side and said, "Look, manager, what should I do about this matter?" ”

After Li Wenyuan heard this, he nodded and said: "Although I am very familiar with Ba Du although I have no relationship, I have some friendship after all, and I can barely be regarded as an acquaintance. Let the army stop the attack first, and take me to the front of the two armies to see what he has to say. ”

Zhang Juntai nodded, and said to the officer in front of him: "Order the troops to stop the attack, and at the same time guard against the deathly counterattack of the Gaochangguo army, and at the same time mobilize the army to surround the palace, and absolutely not let go of any people in the palace, and then let the army be ready to continue the attack at any time." ”

The officer took the order and left, and Li Wenyuan entered the palace of Gaochang Kingdom surrounded by a group of guards and Zhang Juntai. At this time, the palace was already full of blood, stumps were everywhere, and many wounded people were rolling on the ground and wailing, but most of the people who wailed were Gaochangguo soldiers, and the wounded of the Western Regions Army naturally had special people to deal with, and they had all been carried down and sent to the military medical hall in the rear for treatment and recuperation.

On the battlefield in Liaodong, Li Wenyuan had seen a more tragic hell on earth, and at this time, he was very indifferent to the smell of blood that filled his nasal cavities, but he carefully avoided the stumps and corpses on the ground, so as not to splash blood on himself. Slowly bypassing the battlefield and coming to the front line, Li Wenyuan straightened his clothes, walked out of the military formation, and shouted to the Gaochangguo army on the other side with a cautious face: "Which one is Koji Boren?" Come out and speak. ”

At this time, the military formation on Gao Changguo's side was also separated, and a person who was sent to the left and wearing a hufu squeezed out of the middle, Li Wenyuan recognized it at a glance, this person is not Batu or who is it?

Li Wenyuan looked at the clothes and equipment around him again, and there was nothing to hang on, so he stepped forward and chose a fairly clean place to sit on the ground, pointed to another clean place in front of him, and motioned for Batu to sit there.

Ba Du looked at Li Wenyuan, then pushed away the people who were blocking him, and came straight to Li Wenyuan, also sat on the ground, and asked: "Han is you, I thought that someone had such courage to dare to declare war on the overlord of the grassland." ”

"Haha, Batuk, I didn't expect you to become a king now, why don't you be a guard by Hulu's side?" Li Wenyuan stretched out his hand and beckoned to the soldiers behind him, and the soldiers carried a jar of water and wine between the two, and placed two empty bowls and a food box full of soy sauce beef, and then Shi Li retreated.

Li Wenyuan poured two bowls of water and wine each, handed a bowl to Ba Du and said: "We are also familiar with each other, but we rarely have the opportunity to sit together face-to-face like this to talk and talk. ”

Ba Du took the water bowl, and did not suspect him, he directly raised his neck and sent the water and wine in the bowl into his stomach, and then picked up a piece of sauced beef and put it in his mouth and said to Li Wenyuan: "Haha, you are the young man back then, and it seems that you also attacked and captured me later, I remember." ”

"It's not a sneak attack, it's that you're not as good as others." Li Wenyuan said with a smile.

"Anyway, I'll lose to you again after today. This time it was a simple wrestling failure, and I can accept it very calmly. ”

"I'm curious, why did you come to be the king of this Gaochang Kingdom? You should have a better treatment and future by your side of Hulu? Li Wenyuan asked curiously.

"Although it is said that my future and treatment will be very good by His Highness's side, I don't want to be just trapped by His Highness's side as a hunting dog, I want to be an eagle soaring high in the sky." Batu said with some wistfulness.

"Your ability is very good, and Hulu loves talents very much, it is impossible to let you go." Li Wenyuan shook his head and said.

Ba Du looked at Li Wenyuan in front of him with some consternation, nodded and said: "Yes, when I first said that I wanted to stay in Gaochang and do some great things, His Royal Highness rejected me with an ugly face, but soon after his attitude came to a big reversal, he found me with great interest and told me about a very huge plan, because it has nothing to do with me, I don't remember it too much, but it is related to me like this:

First of all, His Royal Highness Kulu arranged for an elite group composed of his personal guards to be led by me, and came here to find our tax collector set up here, and he brought us into the palace, and directly launched a palace coup d'état, detaining the former king of Gaochang Lu Boya, and all his close and trusted henchmen were killed, and the king's guards who supported him were also vulnerable, so I dressed up as you Han Chinese, assumed the name of Lu Boren, disguised as Lu Boya's blood brother, and sat on the throne as a matter of course. ”

"Then what is the cost of Hulu's words to support you to be the king of Gaochang at such a big price? With his shrewdness, it is impossible to make a loss-making business, and he has caught up with one of his most powerful subordinates, and some elite troops, which is not a small investment, but what does he want from it? Li Wenyuan took a sip of wine and said.

"Wellness Hulu has been dealing with the Han people for a long time, and he is very shrewd, and he will definitely not do a loss-making business. The reason why I spent so much effort and capital to support me to ascend to the throne of the Gaochang Kingdom is that I hope that I can completely merge the Gaochang Kingdom, which originally belonged to the Gaochang Kingdom that only paid taxes, into the Turks and become the Gaochang tribe in the Turks, so as to be one of the core forces supporting the Kulu, you know that not many people will submit to His Highness the Kulu who has been repeatedly defeated by the Han people with wisdom, and the current Western Turks are not the only choice, if they are dissatisfied, they can move east to the territory of the Eastern Turks, The Eastern Turks will certainly welcome these people. Batu said with a smile.

"So, do you want to blame me for this? Obviously, you are too frizzy and have left too many traces, and it is difficult to turn a blind eye. Li Wenyuan also smiled and said.
