"None of the Turks are good!" Al Maddy rode on his camel and cursed indignantly.

Xue Yu smacked his lips, and finally couldn't help it. In less than half a day, it had been less than half a day since Su had set off from Sha Xun, and Al Maidi had already said the same thing eighteen times. As a Turkic, although he also felt that Ashina Moye was not a good thing, he always felt a little uncomfortable when he heard such words.

"Ermadi, don't forget, there are also many Turkic people in Datang, and there are many people with the surname Ashina."

After thinking about it, Almadi also felt that something was wrong, and changed his words: "The Turks in the river are not good things. ”

"That's not right, there are no Turks, the river has long been occupied by the Great Eater, where to wait until today." Xue Yu smiled bitterly: "You can't wipe out all the merits of the Turks just because Ashina Moye took the throne of Zhongcao. ”

Al Maddy wanted to say more, Li Zaixing gave her a look, signaling her not to fight in anger. First, Xue Yu is their ally, and it is better to count on Dong Cao than on Bahanna. Second, Xue Yu's words are right, the Tang Dynasty actually has a limited influence on the Hezhong region, and for a long period of time, it is the Turks who control the Hanzhong region, and without the Turks, Da Shi would have occupied the Hezhong region long ago. The Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu are city-states, each with its own policy, which can be broken by each one, and the cannibalization of one country and one city, while Da Shi is a unified big country, once they fully control the river, it will not be easy for the Tang Dynasty to insert one foot again.

Because of its own reasons, after Gaozong Xianqing set up a state in the river in the third year, he soon lost control again, especially after the rise of Tuqishi and the occupation of Broken Leaf City, Datang once gave up most of Anxi. And that time was the time when the Great Cannibals were advancing eastward, and the main force resisting them was the Turgish.

From another point of view, the place where the Tuqi Shi will be eliminated by the Tang Dynasty is because they fight on both sides, neither accept the big food, but also disobey the Tang Dynasty, and the consumption is too great. Da Shi occupied Kang because he defeated the Turgist Sulu Khan near Karistan in the 25th year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty and inflicted heavy losses on his army. As a result, Sulu Khan was devastated and unable to control his subordinates, and the Turgish split and were defeated by the Tang Dynasty.

Although Xue Yu is now the ruler of Bakhana and does not consider himself a Turk, he will certainly not be willing to listen to Ermadi insulting the Turks.

"Al Maddie, a clever hunter, must be able to distinguish between prey and eagle dogs, no matter how accurate the arrow is, it must not shoot in the wrong direction." Li Zaixing used a common saying of the Zhaowu people to remind Al Maddie. The Nakacao people are good at fighting, but the neurons in their brains are much simpler. Li Zaixing already thinks that he has a tendon, and Al Medi has a tendon than him.

Al Maidi bit her lip and said no more.

Du Fu was worried: "Can we help Zhongcao restore the country?" Since Ashina Moye is friendly with King Shi, will it cause Shi Guo to interfere? ”

"That couldn't be better." Li Zaixing looked at Xue Yu, and Xue Yu also looked at him, and the two smiled. However, the original meaning of their laughter was different, Xue Yuzheng wanted to use the Tang Dynasty to solve Shiguo, so as to annex Husul City, reunify Bahanna, and occupy the entire Fergana River Valley, while Li Zaixing was thinking that Gao Xianzhi was trying to find an excuse to crusade against Shiguo, if Shiguo took the initiative to get involved, it could be said that he was in the middle of it. As for whether it was a blessing or a curse for Ba Khan after the Tang Dynasty entered the river, no one could say. At least for now, their purpose is the same.

This is probably the so-called seeking common ground while reserving differences, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.

……

The city of Chaldi, the capital of Zhongcao, is more than 500 miles west of Su and 50 miles north of Kang. To depart from Sutsushana to the city of Chalde, it is necessary to pass through Kangguo. Kangguo has been occupied by big cannibals, and as soon as you enter the territory of Kangguo, you will see many big cannibals wearing white robes and black scarves on their faces. Some of them rode horses, some rode camels, and they all carried many retinues with them, and although their clothes were simple, their expressions were very arrogant, and most passers-by avoided them so as not to be reprimanded by them.

Li Zaixing and his entourage are many powerful and brightly dressed, especially the white camel that Li Zaixing is riding is extremely powerful, and he can't keep a low profile if he wants to. Along the way, many big cannibals cast fiery eyes at him, with envy and greed in their eyes. If it weren't for the fact that Li Zaixing had a lot of people, it was estimated that he would not be an opponent, I am afraid that they would not be able to help but rush up and grab it.

After seeing a few unkind eyes one after another, Li Zaixing realized that he had entered the wolf's den. The cannibal's robber-prone nature has been very well proven, and he has been targeted by some bold people, and a vicious battle is inevitable. He called Xue Yu over.

"Your men are familiar with the language and customs of this place, and send them to inquire before and after, so that they may not be plotted against them."

Xue Yu understood and immediately sent out the ten Shakir who accompanied him.

At dusk, I went to Shakir in front of me to report that there was a hostel in front, which was spacious and relatively clean, and I could stay there. However, it is located on the main traffic route, but there are not many customers, which is a bit weird. Because of time constraints, they could not investigate carefully, so they could only draw Li Zaixing's attention.

Li Zaixing thought for a while: "Is there a hostel nearby?" ”

"Thirty miles further." Xue Yu said: "If you rush there to stay, I'm afraid it will be very late, and there may not be a spare room." ”

"In that case, let's live there."

"But ......"

"It's nothing, what we're afraid of is not knowing the depth, since we know that there may be danger, what is there to be afraid of?" Li Zaixing interrupted Xue Yu's words, waved his hand, and said without doubt: "I also want to see the skills of these big food robbers today. ”

Xue Yu listened and no longer hesitated. Although there were less than thirty of them, they were all warriors, and as long as they were not attacked, there would be no danger even in the face of a hundred people. Since Li Zaixing wants to see the quality of the big cannibal, of course he can't show his cowardice.

After traveling more than ten miles, they saw an inn, and sure enough, as Shakir said, it was spacious and clean, enough to accommodate a hundred people. The room was a lot empty, enough for Li Zaixing and the others to sit widely.

When Li Zaixing walked in, the lobby was deserted, except for a few Sogdians sitting in the corner, talking in low voices, chuckling from time to time. The shopkeeper greeted him, and Xue Yu stepped forward to speak, and the shopkeeper was a little hesitant, not knowing what to say, and a person in the corner looked over, his eyes were grim. The shopkeeper immediately closed his mouth.

Li Zaixing understood and sat down in a big way: "What's wrong?" ”

"He said that it has not been peaceful recently, there are often thieves, and we should be careful ourselves, if we lose something, they will not be responsible."

Li Zaixing understood, this was the kindness of the shopkeeper, and he went around the bend to remind them to pay attention. Where there are thieves, they are clearly robbers, and they are not ordinary robbers. Emptying such a large inn and turning it into a trap is not something ordinary people can do.

"Tell him who I am."

Xue Yu was puzzled, Li Zaixing said it again, Xue Yu was helpless, so he had to say to the shopkeeper in Sogdian: "You don't have to worry, we are responsible for our own safety." This is Li Duwei from the Tang Dynasty, with strong martial arts, and no thief is our opponent. ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he nodded again and again, turned around and led Li Zaixing and the others into the inner courtyard. Several people sitting in the corner glanced at each other, and one got up and hurried away.

In the backyard, Li Zaixing gave Bai Xiaode a look, Bai Xiaode understood, pulled out a white robe from the burden and changed it, covered his face with a black scarf, pretended to be a big cannibal, and walked out of the side yard.

After arranging the room, Li Zaixing gathered everyone together and gave the order.

"Eat well, drink well, sleep well, people do not undress, horses do not unsaddle."

Xue Yu was surprised: "What does this mean?" ”

"Nothing, take the initiative and do it yourself." Li Zaixing said confidently: "Bai Xiaode is proficient in the art of tracking, he will definitely be able to find the lair of that gang of thieves." As soon as he returned, we set out to get ahead of the thieves and kill them all, which can be regarded as the elimination of harm to the people. ”

Xue Yu was dumbfounded. He had long expected that Li Zaixing would not bow down to his orders, but he didn't expect that Li Zaixing would take the initiative to attack without waiting for the thieves to come to the door. However, he immediately became overjoyed, this is his appetite, and he was blocked in the inn and beaten, so it was not interesting.

Except for Du Fu's master and servant, these people were all physically strong warriors, and after eating and drinking, they lay down in their clothes one by one, recuperating and preparing for the battle that was about to begin. On the grounds of safety, Li Zaixing sent people to guard the gate of the courtyard and prevent any outsiders from entering, looking like he was facing a great enemy.

In the middle of the night, there was a sound in the window, and Bai Xiaode rolled in.

"Fifteen miles to the northwest, in a green state in the desert, there are more than 300 people, almost all of them are big cannibals."

Li Zaixing was stunned: "Army? ”

"It looks like it, but these people are in tattered clothes, there are old people and children, and they don't look like an army on a mission." Bai Xiaode said puzzledly: "I'm too far away to hear what they say, but, judging from their arrangement, I should want to wait for tomorrow morning to come to attack." ”

Li Zaixing's eyes shrank, more than 300 people came to sneak attack, even if they were good at martial arts, they would suffer heavy losses, and they might even be wiped out. In that case, we can't stay here and wait for death.

"Let's go!"

Xue Yu reminded: "There are more than 300 of them, ten times more than us. ”

Li Zaixing grinned: "That's why we have to take the initiative." These people are crazy and poor, and they won't let us fat sheep go. Escape, you will definitely not be able to escape. Instead of sitting back and waiting, it is better to take advantage of the unpreparedness and take the initiative to attack. He bared his teeth: "I'll strike first, and you stay behind to watch the enemy's formation, how about it?" ”

Xue Yu hesitated for a moment and nodded reluctantly. In his opinion, Li Zaixing is too self-righteous. With so many enemies, it is no longer a problem that can be solved by individuals with high martial skills, this is a battle, not a competition. Li Zaixing is willing to take risks, that's Li Zaixing's business, and he won't be stupid to follow
