"So, the group of enemies in front of us is not the people of the vassal state of the Yue clan under the rule of the Western Turks, is it? Are they true Sassanid armies? After Li Wenyuan rushed back to Dunhuang County in the starry night, he immediately found Qiu Niang directly, confirmed the accuracy of the information in his hand to her, and said.

"You mean the army in fancy dress mentioned in the military intelligence document written by Zhang Juntai a few days ago, right? If we were talking about that army, the news from our night owls lurking in the Western Turks was that it was the Sassanid army. And he vaguely mentioned that the Western Turks seemed to have allied themselves with the Sassanids to deal with us. Qiu Niang was looking at the bronze jian in front of her intently at this time, and then turned around and asked Li Wenyuan: "You come and help me see if the dark circles under my eyes have become heavier these days?" I'm already using the best bronze mirror I can find, but I still can't see clearly, so come and help me see it. ”

Li Wenyuan was anxious at this time, worried about the war on the Western Front, where was he still in the mood to help Qiu Niang see if her dark circles were heavy? So he said perfunctorily: "No, no, how can there be any dark circles under your eyes, Qiu Niang, you are naturally beautiful, those things will not appear on your face at all, you don't have to worry about the sky anymore, mediocrity disturbs yourself." ”

"You're a mediocrity, your whole family is a memorial. Don't be perfunctory to me, can you help me see if there is any? If you're doing well, this girl is sending you an extra piece of information. Maybe it can help you deal with that Sassanid army. At this time, Qiu Niang was unable to rely on Li Wenyuan as her boss in name, so it was inconvenient for her to attack, so she used a piece of information that Li Wenyuan was most interested in as a bait in exchange.

"Okay, okay, I'll show you. You, you come out of point. I can't see the backlight inside the house, so come out and outside, it's well lit. Li Wenyuan rolled his eyes in his heart, but he still said to Qiu Niang in the gentlest tone possible.

"It's okay, there are no dark circles. Did your men tell you something again? You don't want to listen to the wind or the rain, when they say these things to you, why don't you check to see if you tell them what they do, they messed up, and then divert your attention here? Hurry up and tell me that information, and then you can go back and check if your men have messed up something behind your back. Li Wenyuan pulled Qiu Niang outside the house and said after taking a closer look.

"Gee, I can't talk to you straight men of steel. Forget it, it's not hard for you. As far as I know, Kusi Lao II himself was a usurper to power, so at this time, he was extremely jealous of the generals under him, and while reusing these generals, he did not forget to guard against these generals, so he was not popular at this time.

And he was still in a strategic stalemate with the Byzantine Empire at this time, although he did have an advantage in the war at first, but with the passage of time, and under the insistence of the resistance strategy of the new Byzantine emperor Heraclius, the advantage on the battlefield has gradually tilted to the Byzantine Empire, so at this time, even if the Sassanid Empire sent troops to support the Western Turks, it should not be an elite army. Compared with the army we have formed, it should be a militia and other fighting power. If Zhang Juntai used his troops properly, he should be able to repel the Sassanid reinforcements with fewer victories.

But I'm trying to advise you: the territory we have fought this time is already large enough, and it has reached the limit in terms of the current logistical transportation capacity, if we continue to fight like this, once we fall into the terrain of the mountains in Central Asia, then it is difficult to say the final direction of the war, after all, the name of the Imperial Cemetery is not called in vain. After Qiu Niang saw that Li Wenyuan really couldn't ask anything famous, she gave up resistance and directly told Li Wenyuan all the information she knew.

After Li Wenyuan got this information that made people breathe a sigh of relief, his mood was also a little calmer, so he nodded at Qiu Niang and said: "This information is very important, after repelling the reinforcements of the Sassanid Dynasty, I will give your night owl a good credit." After finishing speaking, Li Wenyuan directly turned his head and walked out of Qiu Niang's office.

"You're really just leaving? Wow, the saying that men are big pig's trotters is really true! If I had known, I shouldn't have told you this information so easily. Qiu Niang looked at Li Wenyuan's resolute back and did not drag the mud and water, she just gritted her silver teeth and stomped her little feet angrily. But then he found that Li Wenyuan did not stop and come back to comfort himself because of this, but walked out faster. He also stretched out helplessly, walked to the house, and complained in his mouth: "But I have really stayed up late these days, and I really want to put on a mask." ”

After Li Wenyuan returned to the governor's mansion, he found the staff officers who stayed in the governor's mansion, called them all to the sand table in front of him, and then said to them: "You now mark all the territories that Zhang Juntai has conquered on this western expedition on the sand table. ”

After hearing Li Wenyuan's order, all the staff officers stepped forward one after another to get busy on the sand table, and after a short time, all the territory occupied by Li Wenyuan's army on the western expedition was completely presented on the sand table.

Li Wenyuan saw that the sand table had been marked, so he also came forward to look at the chassis marked on the sand table. At this time, the red banner representing the area controlled by Li Wenyuan's army stretched from the easternmost east of the Green Ridge in the south, along the Baishan Mountain Range to the northernmost Jinshan Mountain Range.

"Tell me that we should now continue to pursue the Turks westward and wipe them out once and for all. Or do we hold on to the territory we have now occupied, and wait until we have digested it before we continue to wage war to the west? Li Wenyuan looked at the sand table in front of him and asked the staff officers on the side.

"Chief, let's take it easy, the front-line intelligence mentions that the Turks seem to have found new helpers, and the number should not be underestimated. If we move forward, our logistics may be a little disjointed. Let's take a break, and at least set up a forward supply depot in the land we have already occupied, and then discuss the matter of continuing the offensive. Otherwise, it is very likely that the Turks will catch our loophole and deal a fatal blow to us, thus ruining the whole good situation now. Several staff officers exchanged words and then said to Li Wenyuan.

Thank you for your votes
