Bo Hu had already guessed that the big business that Lai Xing'er was talking about would be to exchange the thousands of horses that were being driven into Uighur territory in exchange for the Uighur troops to restrain the Turkic forces remaining in the Qilian Mountains, so as to relieve the pressure on the Middle-earth official army. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He was able to return to his homeland to participate in the large-scale counteroffensive against the Turks, and when it came to the roots, it was all thanks to Lai Xing'er personally going to the center of Jingzhao Mansion to get Jing Zhao's consent, releasing him from house arrest, and taking him all the way to Liangzhou, so even though Bo Hu knew in his heart that Lai Xing'er was just deliberately selling himself a trick, just taking these thousands of horses that would have been driven into foreign countries, so as not to get the war horses obtained by the Tubo people, in exchange for the Uighurs to send a large army, block the Turks alone, and serve the Middle-earth court, he was also optimistic.

"The general doesn't have to say any more. I will rush back to the tooth tent to communicate to Yehu Khan, and the Middle-earth court will give me thousands of Uighur war horses to help me make persistent efforts to annihilate the remnants of the Turks guarding the Qilian Pass in one go. Hago said, and stood up.

What a smart person Lai Xing'er has, he has already understood his good intentions from these words of Bogo, and he can't help but be moved, and he stood up with Bogo, took Bogo's hand, and said reluctantly: "Brother Bohu and I are here to reunite, for the great affairs of the two countries, and now we have to separate." I don't know when we will be able to meet here, the younger brother only hopes that the eldest brother can be completed as soon as possible, and when he returns to Chang'an in the future, the younger brother will have a grand banquet and drink with the eldest brother. ”

Bogo's eyes became moist when he was told by Lai Xing'er, and he said emotionally: "Bo Hu can have a second chance to be a man today, all thanks to Brother Lai Xing'er." Brother, relax, with these thousands of war horses sent by you as a gift, Brother Bo Hu will definitely be able to persuade the Khan to agree to send troops, exterminate the Turkic remnants entrenched in the Qilian Mountains in one fell swoop, and completely eliminate the great hidden danger of you and me. ”

As the two parted ways in the steppes near the border between the two states, Bohu ordered the accompanying Uighur sergeants to take the whips that drove the horses from the hands of the sergeants under the command of Lai Xing'er, and drove thousands of horses straight back to the Khan's tent to meet Yehu Khan, and persuaded him to send troops to destroy the remnants of the Turks.

Lai Xing'er and Jiang Zhongshi, together with Jiang Zhongshi, gathered the team, turned around and headed east, heading towards the meeting place agreed with all walks of life in advance - the foot of Helan Mountain.

Along the way, Jiang Zhongshi and Lai Xing'er walked side by side, and reported to him in detail the information he had obtained when he was ordered to go north: just as Lai Xing'er analyzed and judged, the east of Liangzhou was Yuanzhou and Jingzhou, which were occupied by the Tubo army, and only on the other side of Helan Mountain in the northeast, where the imperial court officials and soldiers were stationed. That is to say, after Lai Xing'er and others successfully captured the city of Liangzhou and publicly established the capital and raised the flag, once they were besieged by the Tubo army from the east, west, and south, the only way to retreat from the north into the original Turks and the current Uighur territory was to retreat to the northeast, cross the Helan Mountain, and join the Middle-earth officials and troops on the other side of the mountain.

The reason why Lai Xing'er immediately sent Jiangzhong Shi to the north to explore the retreat of the whole army from the western Xinjiang after recovering Liangzhou and having serious differences with the generals under his command was because Lai Xing'er knew very well in his heart: once the banner of the Shenhe capital was openly waved in the western Xinjiang, and the troops scattered in various places were gathered in one place, they would have to face the multi-faceted encirclement and annihilation of the tens of thousands of Tubo troops stationed in the western Xinjiang. Then the team that has just been pulled up after nearly a year of hard work will face a catastrophe. At the same time, the imperial court sent Xing'er to infiltrate Liangzhou and join up with Luo Yuanqi's troops hiding here, the main purpose of which was to wait for an opportunity to destroy the pastures under the jurisdiction of Longyoujian, so that it would be difficult for the Tubo people to obtain timely replenishment of war horses in the western Xinjiang and re-equip a sufficient number of cavalry, posing a threat to the imperial capital Chang'an. At present, this goal has been achieved, once the 8,000 war horses are driven from the pastures in Liangzhou and other places to the northern Uighur territory, then it will take at least three or five years for the Tubo people to re-shepherd a sufficient number of war horses to equip the cavalry in the western Xinjiang, so that the threat to Chang'an City will be greatly reduced in the short term.

"The eastern side of Helan Mountain should belong to the territory of Lingzhou, have you found out which official army is stationed in Lingzhou now?" Lai Xing'er rode his horse and asked Jiang Zhongshi beside him.

"I sent a few sergeants over Helan Mountain two days ago to contact the officers and soldiers stationed there, and it is estimated that some people have returned now. When we were patrolling along the border between the two states, we happened to meet Brother Bogo, and when I was happy, I forgot about it. Later, when we arrive at the foot of Helan Mountain, I'll ask again. Jiang Zhongshi scratched his head and replied with some embarrassment.

Lai Xing'er heard Jiang Zhongshi so embarrassed, and couldn't help but wave his horsewhip at him pretendedly, and said angrily: "It's a shame that you have stayed in Cangsongyuan for so long and spent so much effort to train the harrier eagle that can pass the book for thousands of miles, and now when it comes to handy, why can't you think of using them to communicate news with the harrier eagle?" ”

Jiang Zhongshi reminded Xing'er and suddenly responded: "Big brother, what you said, I think of something important." This afternoon, I retrieved a harrier eagle that flew back from Chang'an, and it carried this with it. As he spoke, he reached out and took out a wax pill from his arms and handed it to Lai Xing'er.

"This is very likely the latest order given to us by the imperial court, why didn't this harrier eagle return to Liangzhou on time, but deviated nearly a hundred miles to the north and came to you?" Lai Xing'er was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly took the wax pill from Jiang Zhongshi's hand, opened the wax seal, and took out a two-finger-wide note from it, and when he looked at it with the moonlight that had just risen, Fang exhaled a breath and said to Jiang Zhongshi: "The emperor is very happy to learn that we have recovered Liangzhou and built the capital, and ordered us not to stick to the lonely city, and the camera will take this team out of the western frontier as soon as possible, and at the same time tell us to bring back the war horses that Longyou supervised and grazing......"

"So, my brother, the general order you issued coincides with the emperor, but this war horse has been released into Uighur territory by us and given to the Uighurs, how do you give it to the emperor?" Jiang Zhongshi listened to Lai Xing'er's instructions to convey the imperial court, first felt happy for Lai Xing'er, and then worried for him.

"It doesn't matter. The so-called 'will be outside, the king's order is not subject to it', besides, if you take a closer look at the instructions given to us by the emperor, the emperor clearly wants us to ensure that we will take people out of the western frontier first, and then mention the war horse, which fully shows that in the emperor's mind, our sergeants in the Shenhe capital are much heavier than thousands of war horses. Lai Xing'er looked quite confident.

"Big brother, I found that since the recovery of Chang'an, you have become closer and closer to the emperor...... If you continue like this, maybe in the future, the emperor will make you the commander of the entire Divine Crane Army. Let's talk about things today, and when that day comes, I can only do the position of the Divine Crane. Jiang Zhongshi turned sideways on horseback, approached Lai Xing'er, and joked with him.

Lai Xing'er glanced at Jiang Zhongshi from the corner of his eye, ignored his jokes, and only asked him: "You haven't answered me yet, how did this harrier eagle used to pass on books come to you?" If this is the case in the future, I think you will have to work hard to train them, otherwise it will be a big deal. ”

Jiang Zhongshi deliberately raised his nose and sniffed, and replied with a smile: "The animals I trained with my own hands, wherever I go, they can smell my body from afar." (To be continued.) )
