In the turn of the day, Zong Luohu woke up from his sleep early. When he came out of the camp tent, he saw Li Wenyuan watching the soldiers in the camp busy with their own affairs. So he tidied up his clothes, stepped forward to Li Wenyuan's side, and said to him: "Recently, I have been marching all the way in a hurry, and I will inevitably have some hardships from traveling and traveling. I finally slept peacefully last night, so I unconsciously slept a little longer, so that the manager waited for a long time. ”

"It's not in the way, I see that the soldiers in the camp are all orderly and busy, presumably it must be the result of your good training on weekdays." When Li Wenyuan said this, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the place not far away, and continued to say to Zong Luohu: "If I remember correctly, the person who commanded the soldiers to carry things there was the military advisor in your cottage before, and the strong man next to him should be one of the people you brought with you when you and I worked together to capture Hulu. ”

"Sir, you are really unforgettable, and I admire you. That man was indeed my former military advisor, but now he is a staff member by my side; As for that strong man, he is now a partial general under my account, this man is very brave in battle, and he has some undying posture in front of the two armies, and because he is the third in the family, the soldiers in the army like to call him Desperate Sanlang. He is one of the most effective generals I have at my disposal, and in every fierce battle, he will surely win a great victory with him as the striker. But then again, is there anything the chief has to say about me when he came to my barracks today? Zong Luohu said with a smile to Li Wenyuan.

"Well, my men have received news that the Eastern Turkic Shibi Khan and the Liang Shi of the Liang State have negotiated and seem to have reached some kind of agreement. At the same time, the Eastern Turkic soldiers who came from afar have also recuperated and recuperated for a long time, and if nothing else, they should launch an attack on us today. Alas, I originally wanted to watch the enemy plunder for you here, but earlier Zhang Juntai sent someone to send news that the war on the Western Front was a little unsmooth, and I needed to rush there to see the situation in person. That's why I'm here in advance to wish you success, and I'll come back to catch up with you after I've dealt with the recalcitrant barbarians on the Western Front. Li Wenyuan looked directly at Zong Luohu and said.

"The manager has a lot of opportunities, and it is my blessing to be able to take time out of my meal to talk to me at this time. At this time, can you delay the time of the governor to deal with national affairs? If you are busy, I will carry the battle on the Eastern Front for you, and as long as one of our troops can stand up, then the enemy army will never be able to take a single step forward. Zong Luohu patted his chest and said to Li Wenyuan.

"Good! With this assurance from you, the leader of the sect, I feel much more at ease. Then there will be labor on the Eastern Front. The military situation is like fire, so I won't delay with you here, but let's say that when the war on our western front is calmed down, we must get together again in Wuwei County. Li Wenyuan said that he would not delay much after that, and directly turned around and rode out of the camp and rode back to Dunhuang County.

It's not that Li Wenyuan deliberately found an excuse to leave Wuwei County, a place of right and wrong, but that there was a little problem on the Western Front. In fact, this question is not big or small. It's just that under the manipulation of some well-intentioned people, it is somewhat out of Li Wenyuan's control, and Li Wenyuan needs to come back to deal with this matter in person.

Li Wenyuan's army marched westward under the leadership of Zhang Juntai, and when the Western Turks were unable to resist, the Western Turks finally lowered their arrogant heads and prepared to find allies from the outside world. At this time, under Zhang Juntai's planning, the communication between the Eastern and Western Turks can be said to have been severed. After several unsuccessful attempts, the Western Turkic Khan sent envoys to the Sassanid Empire, southwest of him, and promised the Sassanids a large amount of land and livestock in exchange for it.

"Your Majesty the Victorious King Kuslao II, on behalf of your friendliest neighbor, the Turks, I would like to bring you my sincerest greetings. Your exploits are sung like the sun in the steppe, and on behalf of the Khan, I make a request to you for an alliance in the hope that our two countries may conclude an alliance against the invasion of foreign enemies. "The envoy of the Western Turks was at this time in the palace of Ctesiphon, meeting the king of the Sassanid Empire.

"Friendly neighbors? A friendly neighbor doesn't raise an enemy behind his neighbor. And as far as I know, your so-called khan is at this time facing an invasion from the Han Chinese from the far east, and your army is at a disadvantage from every point of view. So at this time, why should I provoke an opponent with unpredictable strength for you? Sitting on the throne, he played with the gold coins in his hand and said to the Turkic envoy in front of him.

"It is true that the losses of our warriors on the battlefield are somewhat larger now, but it is precisely because of the bloody battles of our warriors on the front line that you can leisurely accuse us here now. This time, the goal of these Han Chinese was different from the past, they no longer came for the livestock on the grassland, but for the land. Once our Turks fell. Then the next direction that the tip of the Han Chinese knife is pointing in is your Sassanid dynasty! The envoy of the Turks said neither humbly nor arrogantly at this time.

"Well, I'll admit that you have some truth in what you say. I can also accept requests to help you in your war, but I also have a request that you give up your support for the Byzantine Empire to the west and instead side with me and support me in attacking the Byzantine Empire. Kuth Lao II slammed the gold coin in his palm, then straightened up and looked directly at the Turkic envoy in front of him.

"The Khan gave clear instructions on this matter before I set out, and I can now accede to your request, Your Majesty, and not only that, but we will cede to you an additional part of the most fertile pasture in the town, as a sign of sincerity for our cooperation." As he spoke, the Western Turkic envoy presented a map he had brought with him to King Kuslao II.

King Kuslao II ordered his subordinates to take the map handed by the Turkic envoy and hand it to him, then unfolded it, nodded with satisfaction when he saw that it was circled by a red note and was about to cede the land to him, and then put the map in his hand on the table in front of him, and said to the Western Turkic envoy:

"Ahura Mazda will bear witness to our friendship, my dearest friend, and I will respond to your request to send troops to help you against the enemies who invade you."

Thank you for the ticket~~
