After the hangover, Wang Fu was still a little unconscious, although the Turkic goat's milk wine tasted very mellow. But after he was really drunk, he found that he was still so uncomfortable, especially his stomach was like a river overturning.

It was also last night in order to get more words, and in the end he couldn't hold it himself. There was no way to avoid Xi Ku Qianjin suspecting him, so Wang Fu had to get drunk as well.

When Wang Fu woke up early in the morning, he was already lying in his tent. Zhou Cheng: They are bundling the goods they exchanged for from the Xitu tribe.

It can be seen that these big-hearted Turks did not notice anything wrong, and still called Wang Fu brothers.

After drinking the goat milk sent by Xi Ku Qianjin, Wang Fu and the others planned to leave. Say goodbye to Xi Ku Qianjin, and negotiate to bring tea and these things immediately, so that Xi Ku Qianjin can brew butter tea by themselves. The group quickly headed towards Lingzhou City, and they wanted to pass the news back as soon as possible.

But just as the group was about to leave the Turkic territory, the scouts who were in charge of guarding the side suddenly displayed a red flag.

Zhou Cheng frowned, immediately stopped everyone, and then led everyone to hide at the bottom of the hillside.

It was a group of Turkic cavalry, which seemed to be about twenty or thirty people. These people were all wearing blue-black armor, and Zhou Cheng recognized the identities of these people at a glance, they all belonged to the cavalry of the Turkic iron cavalry.

didn't understand why these people appeared here, and Zhou Cheng and the others could only hide quietly aside.

This cavalry that suddenly appeared made Zhou Cheng and them all nervous. Fortunately, the other party did not notice them, and quickly left the place.

This next week, they didn't dare to delay any longer, and directly led everyone to start running in the direction of Lingzhou City. Along the way, they encountered three groups of cavalry teams like this.

Even at the last time, I saw that these cavalry were followed by many Turkic people who were not wearing armor, and they were also riding behind those people, presumably the requisitioned troops in Xi Ku's mouth.

These men were carrying a large amount of grain and grass and were approaching in the direction of Chushur Mountain.

The Turks had made up their minds, and everyone could see that the Hulu were recruiting troops in the various tribes, as well as preparing the food and grass for the great war.

Tuli entered Chang'an last month and asked to enter the court, but Li Er did not allow it, so now the situation at the border has become extremely complicated.

On the one hand, Tuli wants to get rid of Jieli's control, but on the other hand, Jieli is constantly evading his power. Jieli's attitude is very clear, that is, he constantly draws the troops of the tribes under Tuli's jurisdiction, as well as a large amount of grain and grass.

But in fact, Qin Ze knew that this battle could not be fought, even if Jieli was no longer accustomed to Tuli, Tuli was still his own nephew. Even in terms of blood, Tuli is more suitable for the Heavenly Khan than Jieli, because Jieli's Heavenly Khan was taken from Tuli.

Jieli thought that through this method, he could intimidate Tuli and make him obediently surrender to him, but he didn't know that this would only exacerbate the conflict between the two people.

Zhou Cheng and his entourage walked for half an hour before returning to Lingzhou. It's too late to rest. Zhou Cheng immediately went to the Zhongjun tent.

At this time, they were still at a loss, and the sudden disappearance of the army of Yehulu made them very uneasy.

There are currently a total of 12,000 people in Lingzhou City, all of whom have to obey Cui Shi's orders. But now that guy doesn't go out of the door, so in this way, their actions have been greatly affected.

The Tang Dynasty implemented the government soldier system, and set up five prefectures in Luozhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Jingzhou, and Lingzhou. For example, the supreme governor of the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion is Li Daozong, and then under him is Lingzhou Don't Drive Cui Shi.

Now Li Dudu led the troops to Yinshan, so Cheng Chumo in Lingzhou City and they all have to obey Cui Shi's orders, although everyone knows that Cui Shi has no real skills, but after all, the official position is there.

Under the governor, don't drive, don't drive after Sima, and now there is a Dong Sima in Lingzhou City, but he is a nest of snakes and rats with Cui Shi. And the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion still has 10,000 horses stationed between Lingzhou and Yinshan, and the person in charge of dispatching them is another Zhao Sima.

"Governor Li asked me to wait for the rest of Lingzhou City to protect the peace here and ensure the retreat of the army. and asked me to wait to obey Cui Bei's orders, but now that he is closed, I really don't know what to do. Li Duwei also had a sad face, Cui Shi just asked them to stay in Lingzhou City, and the rest didn't say anything.

Several people were silent, and Qin Ze was also sitting on the side, he was more anxious than anyone else. Because he knows that the siege ability of the Turks today is not comparable to before. Once the Turks dispatch the tooth army, then with the people of Lingzhou City, they will not be able to stop it at all.

It was also at this time that it was reported that Zhou Cheng was asking to see him. The matter of Zhou Cheng's entry into the Turkic Xitu was known only to Cheng Chumo. Now that I see him asking to see him, I must have found out some news. Without avoiding suspicion, Cheng Chumo directly let Zhou Cheng in, and under the current situation, they can only hug together.

The news brought by Zhou Cheng was very timely, and the Hulu army was recruiting troops on a large scale and was stationed in the area of Chushuer Mountain.

Chushur Mountain is located in the right rear of the Xitu tribe and is the place where the Jieli and Tuli forces meet. From there to Lingzhou City, it only takes ten days at the slowest pace, plus the time for Hulu to recruit troops and transfer food, I am afraid it will take less than half a month.

"I'm afraid there is something omission in this matter, although Qiushuer Mountain is only ten days away from my Lingzhou City, but it is only one day before we are stationed between Lingzhou City and Yin Mountain." Sun Yufu on the side exclaimed and said.

Immediately picked up the map from the table and showed it to everyone. Sure enough, as he said, in order to ensure the safety of Li Daozong's 40,000 horses. 10,000 people were specially stationed in Lingzhou, and 10,000 people were stationed in the north of Qiushuer Mountain. Now that he looks at Hu Lu, it is obviously aimed at Zhao Sima and them.

But although it looks like this, it makes Cheng Chumo even more confused about it.

Qin Ze was also very puzzled, according to his thoughts, even if Hulu's army broke through Zhao Sima's team, it would not have much impact on Li Daozong and them. Because as long as Lingzhou City is still there, the reinforcements of the Tang Army will not stop.

Hulu would not be stupid enough to do such a thankless thing, so Qin Ze doubted that the other party wanted to attack the west, Mingli was eyeing Zhao Sima and them, but he actually wanted to take Lingzhou? Come to a Ming plank road to secretly cross Chen Cang?

Of course, Qin Ze would not be stupid enough to be confident that the last time he exterminated Tie Legu in Xi Mountain, and completely annihilated the three thousand iron cavalry of Yehulu, he was afraid of Yehulu, so he gave up attacking Lingzhou.

He still knows how many catties and taels he has, and with his own ability, it is impossible to make the Turkic undefeated god of war fearful.

So no matter what aspect you think about, Lingzhou has not become safe.

"Right now, General Hulu is deep into the Turkic interior, and our scouts can't enter it at all. I really don't know what the other party thinks? Zhao Sima's 10,000 men were stationed in Qiushuer Mountain, where the situation was far more complicated than Lingzhou City. To the west is the Western Turkic Tiele Tribes, and to the east are the Eastern Turkic Goshu Tribes. Now Jieli is eyeing Xue Yantuo, once the army is pressed in. This front will inevitably collapse, and Li Dudu's army of 40,000 will have to go to war with Jieli. At that time, I am afraid that it is the most dangerous time. ”

Qin Ze is becoming more and more unable to see through Sun Yufu, this guy can go to the battlefield and kill the enemy. After getting off the battlefield, he was a qualified military advisor, and he made all the benefits and disadvantages clear in a few words. This guy is the real Qucai.

"Why don't we send someone to inform Zhao Sima first, and at the same time inform Cui Beijia of the news, let's see what he plans." Li Duwei sighed and said helplessly.

Everyone nodded, but Qin Ze slowly raised his hand and said, "Listen to me." ”

Everyone turned their eyes to the past, you must know that Qin Ze still has some weight in everyone's minds. Whether it is the battle of Yan'er Mountain or the battle of Xishan, Qin Ze's ability is beyond doubt. In particular, the mysterious big killer made the Turkic soldiers even more daunted, and the Tang army was in awe.

So although he looked extremely young, no one dared to despise him.

Qin Ze saw that everyone looked at him, so he spoke: "Although the army of Yehulu is approaching the area of Qiushuer Mountain, my Lingzhou City is not safe. For the Turks, capturing Zhao Sima's army would at most put Lord Du in a difficult battle, but if Lingzhou City was captured, then Lord Du Du would have to fight to the death.

In my opinion, it is very likely that Hulu will divide his troops into two routes, attacking Zhao Sima's army all the way, and attacking my Lingzhou City, so that we will not be able to support each other.

Therefore, Lingzhou City must be fully prepared, and I know that you all think that the Turks will not be able to attack Lingzhou City. Indeed, the Turkic iron horses come and go like the wind, and the Tang city is as strong as iron. But that was before, Jieli now has an army of the Tooth Army showing their fangs, and if they appear here, Lingzhou City will not be so strong. ”

The reason why Qin Ze is so convinced of the strength of the Tooth Army is because he remembers the record about this Tooth Army.

"Protective by iron clothes, with the sharp weapon of siege, the city of the Tang army was broken, and none of the people and soldiers were spared."

This is the second time Qin Ze has mentioned this tooth army, and Cheng Chumo and everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Qin Ze saw through everyone's thoughts, and added: "It's better that from tomorrow, the defense around this Lingzhou City will be deployed by me." How is it? ”

"That's right."

Of course, Cheng Chumo and the others would not refute, they were afraid that Qin Ze would suddenly propose to command the army. Now it's just a defense, naturally nothing.

There wasn't much time left for Qin Ze, and he had to speed up his pace. Fortunately, this time Wang Fu brought back a large number of furs from Xi Tu, so that Qin Ze had the basis for making air troops.

That's the existence that Qin Ze relies on, just imagine that the Turkic soldiers came to the city, and then hundreds of Tang troops rose in the wind.

It must have been spectacular!
