After sending off the envoys of the Eastern Turks, Liang Shidu sat in the county guard mansion of Lingwu County, drove everyone out of the house, and locked himself in the house and sat alone, his face was very ugly. Thinking of the Eastern Turkic Shibi Khan when he named himself the Dadu Viga Khan, that lofty look, especially when he asked himself to be his father-in-law and called him his father Khan, the look of the Liang Shidu was still fresh in his memory.

Thinking of this, Liang Shidu became more and more angry, looking at the various decorations in this room is not pleasing to the eye, but the more he looks at it, the more angry he becomes, and finally he has no choice but to talk about how to suppress the anger in his heart, and walked to a shelf with rare treasures, picked up the things on it and threw it to the ground, and then looked at the objects that turned into powder on the ground, which felt a little more comfortable.

When the people outside heard the crackling sound in the house, they all knew that Master Liang was angry inside, so in order not to set himself on fire, they all hung their heads and kept silent, standing outside the house and not daring to make a sound. At this time, Liang Guoshangshu Lu Jilan happened to come to Liang Shidu to discuss state affairs, and when he saw the people standing outside the house, he knew that Liang Shidu locked himself in the house again to vent his resentment, after all, as a strong and powerful man, no one could accept the matter of recognizing Hu Ren as his father.

Sighing secretly, Lu Jilan stepped forward and asked the person in front of the door in a low voice, "Your Majesty is in the house?" ”

When the subordinates saw the Shangshu of the current dynasty, they bowed down one after another and said, "Lord Shangshu." In reply to your words, Your Majesty has locked himself in the house for a while, and no one will listen to him. ”

Lu Jilan raised his hand to stop the man's words, nodded and said, "I know, you guys go down first." ”

After driving away many people in front of the door, Lu Jilan came to the door and reached out and knocked on the door.

The Liang Shi inside all said angrily: "Get out, get out, I don't want to bother me when I say it, don't you understand the words!" ”

Lu Jilan said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's me, I have something to discuss with you." ”

The Liang master in the room heard that the person in front of the door was his own Shangshu Lu Jilan, so he hurriedly walked to the door, pulled out the latch, pulled Lu Jilan into the house, pulled two chairs casually, picked up a fairly clean place in the room, pulled Lu Jilan and sat down and said:

"Ji Lan, you said that you have something to discuss with me, what is the matter? Now it can be said. ”

"Your Majesty, I came back to tell you that Liu Wuzhou in the east will not have any thoughts about us for the time being under the mediation of Shibi Khan, it is inevitable that Li Yuan is busy pacifying the many rebels in the pass at this time, and he has no time to look north for the time being, so it is the best time for us to attack Li Wenyuan's Wuwei County now when we go out of Lingwu County to attack Li Wenyuan's Wuwei County." Lu Jilan sorted out his thoughts and said.

"Ji Lan, I'm just worried about this time again. We are now relying on the Eastern Turks outside the fortress to gain a foothold here. Now we are not stable around us, a few days ago we incorporated part of Bai Yushao's army, and now we have tens of thousands of troops. Now in order to attack Li Wenyuan's Wuwei County, we have to send at least 20,000 troops, and there is no guarantee that Li Wenyuan's army will be defeated, I heard that Li Wenyuan's troops even defeated the troops of the Western Turks before, and it is said that there are still some elite troops of the Western Turks in it. Liang Shidu frowned and said.

"I've heard about it, but at this time the news was either told to us by the Eastern Turks or written in the newspapers. You must know that the newspaper is run by Li Wenyuan, and it naturally wants to sing praises for himself, anyway, the Western Turk soldiers who know about it are already dead, are they the elite troops of the Western Turks, and naturally Li Wenyuan said what he said. As for the Eastern Turks, they have always regarded the Western Turks as traitors and enemies, and at this time, they will naturally not let go of the opportunity to belittle the Western Turks' military force, and they will definitely exaggerate as much as possible, so what they say is not enough to rely on. As for Li Wenyuan, in order to attack the Western Turks at this time, he mobilized the vast majority of his elite and transferred them to the western grasslands. In order to comfort Liang Shidu, Lu Jilan analyzed the situation in front of him one after another.

Lu Jilan also didn't know the specific situation of some things, and at that time, in order to comfort Liang Shidu, he could only make some optimistic speculations and tell Liang Shidu as facts. After the establishment of the Liang State, some organizations responsible for spying on the intelligence of other countries were also established, but these organizations could still play some roles in other forces, but when these intelligence personnel faced Li Wenyuan's forces, they were defeated one after another under the cross-restraint of the strong household registration system and Qiu Niang's night owls, and many people were arrested by Li Wenyuan.

Except for a small number of diehards who were beheaded, many of the remaining intelligence officers chose to join Qiu Niang's night owl and sneaked back to Liang and began to work for the night owl. Because Qiu Niang had already sent someone to pick up the families of those people, at this time, they who left their relatives as handles in Qiu Niang's hands naturally did not dare to have two hearts.

"Ji Lan, what do you think we are doing this time? If it is a hard fight, it is definitely not cost-effective for us, after all, there are wolf-like forces around us, if they catch us after the battle with Li Wenyuan, when we are killed and injured and our vitality is greatly damaged, suddenly attacked, even if Shibi Khan is willing to send troops to rescue, can we survive until that time or two words. Liang Shidu put forward another thought of his own and said.

"Your Majesty is too worried, we only need to make an attack posture against Li Wenyuan, as for the real attack, we will wait for the Eastern Turks to send troops." Lu Jilan said.

"How can you hold on? Among the Eastern Turks, there are cunning Hu people in the Western Regions as strategists, since Yang Guang agreed to design and kill Shi Shu Hu Xi, his son is very hated the Han people in the Central Plains, and at this time staying in the Eastern Turks to use his father's influence to control some of the real power, it is not easy to deceive them. Liang Shidu said.

"This is easy to do, there are still many bandits in our territory, although they can't pose any threat to the army, but they can indeed easily attack the army's grain routes, and in order to correspond to the signs of the Eastern Turks, we have mobilized all the troops in the territory to the border, and it is only natural that we cannot send troops for a long time because we are unable to suppress the bandits." Lu Jilan said with a smile.
