Although Li Guangbi led his army back victoriously and even brought with him the most important captive, the city of Fugu and Tongluo was not heard from since it was occupied, and there were many rangers on the passage to the southeast and southwest of the river, and the communication channel to the south was cut off, so the entire city of Anbei was still immersed in a tense atmosphere.

At the last moment, Long Quan led the tooth soldiers out of the city to attack the enemy, and broke back the soldiers and horses, but after all, he didn't catch Mo Yansi. For such a result, Long Quan himself felt really regretful. But today, the most important thing is how to deal with the complex situation today. Therefore, as if to make up for the merits, he actually proposed a bold mention.

"Now that General Li is back, I plan to personally take two people to Tongluo Ya Tent City and Fugu Tooth Tent City to explore the truth."

This time, the meeting was not in Zhenbei Hall, but in Wang Rong's dormitory. At the beginning, she lost her child under the repeated oppression and coercion of Luo Xizao, and all the officials and soldiers in the city were angry about it, and now they all hope that she can recuperate. But the current situation is unclear, since Wang Rong invited them to come to the dormitory, whether it is Li Guangbi and Azler, Zhang Xing and Longquan, no one can push back. At this time, Longquan's suggestion first attracted strong opposition from Li Guangbi, but Zhang Xing and Azler both thought that this risk had to be taken, and with their persuasion and Wang Rong's approval, Li Guangbi finally had to agree to such a risky request.

He knew very well that Du Shiyi said that he was still returning to the city of the Tent of the Tooth, but in fact, he was guarding against the three surnamed Ge Lulu while guarding against the three surnames. The current patriarch of the Blazing Tribe, Algen, is still in the city of Anbei Yatent, and this time he also pretended to be reinforcements to successfully boost morale and delay time, but the other two selected Tong Jin, that is, the head of the Mouluo tribe, Gu Lijian, is said to have occupied a lot of turbid places, and once tried his best to develop his tentacles to the west, but now Mobei is in chaos, and he needs to beware of his good intentions to take advantage of the fire to rob.

Moreover, according to what Du Shiyi had said before he left, not only was there chaos in the desert north, but the Western Regions were far from being peaceful today. After seizing Xiao Bolu before, the four towns of Anxi and Beiting are like clockwork, and they are planning a new war, and the edge refers to the stone country to which the tentacles of the Great Food have extended. Since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty Gaozong, after the annexation of Persia, the Great Food began to gradually encroach on the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty, and the countries outside the Green Mountains, as well as the countries with the nine surnames of Zhaowu, nominally will send envoys to Chang'an from time to time to pay tribute, but in fact, they are all under the jurisdiction of the governor of Dashi Khorasan. It's just that because of the harsh religious strategy pursued by the Great Food, the momentum of resistance among the countries has also risen from time to time. Since the beginning of the first year of Kaiyuan, Ashina Xian, Guo Qianqian and others have been ordered to go west, but the results have been in vain.

Although he knew that Du Shiyi's eldest son, Du Guangyuan, was now serving as a soldier and horse envoy under Gao Xianzhi, but Du Shiyi still had the time to pay attention to the situation in the Western Regions in this chaotic time, how could Li Guangbi not think about the reason behind it? He clearly remembered that Du Shiyi had two sand table models in the temporary tooth tent in the Huifu Tooth Tent City, where the wall had only been rammed for more than half of the time. First, from Hebei Province to Khitan, Xi, Murowei, Bohai, etc., all the way to Fugu and Luodubo, as well as Anbei Yatent City, Huangjiasi, Guligan, etc.; The first is the vast Western Regions, which crossed the Green Mountains to the Governorate of Khorasan in Persia. He even had an illusion that Du Shiyi was tired of this Anbei metropolitan protector and planned to move somewhere!

Therefore, when Wang Rong left Longquan to tell certain things alone, and he came out with Zhang Xing and Azler, he suddenly stopped Zhang Xing. Knowing that in the deepest courtyard of the entire Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, he would not be able to spread anything, so he asked bluntly: "Zhang Changshi, do you know the real thoughts of the marshal?" ”

There are so many generals under Du Shiyi's command, Zhang Xing doesn't know anything about it, but he definitely knows a lot about them. Therefore, he was not surprised by Li Guangbi's current question, and after thinking about it, he said: "General Li Jue, don't you think that the food and supplies that the imperial court can provide to Anbei Yatent City are really very little, and the constraints and chaos brought about are getting bigger and bigger? ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Guangbi suddenly changed color: "What does Zhang Changshi mean by this?" ”

"You don't have to be angry, I'm just stating a fact. The traitors in the court are in charge, they are lucky, and the demon concubines confuse the lord, but for the loyal ministers and good generals, they do everything to frame. The handsome man has worked hard for many years, and it is finally possible for Mobei to gradually show a state of tranquility, but not only do they not think that this is a credit, but they also have to desperately fabricate accusations! Over the years, the Mobei tribes have nominally surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, but you should know very well what the actual situation is. It is already a situation like walking on thin ice, if another boulder suddenly presses down, what will be the result? ”

"This ......" Li Guangbi was speechless for a while, and then asked rhetorically, "Does the handsome have the heart to be self-reliant?" That's all about the severance of the southbound passage? ”

"When did you see that the handsome man has a heart of self-reliance? You know, Luo Xixiao was killed by a few of us, and it has nothing to do with Dashuai! ”

Zhang Xing knows how important it is to occupy the name of righteousness in these years, so he will not admit it to death. Seeing that Li Guangbi was really relieved, he opened his mouth and said: "Tongluo and Fugu are not so easy to eat, and after Longquan goes, he will know the benefits, even if he can't let people spit out the fat that he eats in his mouth, he can at least delay a little time." For now, the most important thing is to sweep away the remnants of the Tunja and the Hui forces. Meals should be eaten one bite at a time, and you can't rush them. The reserves in Anbei Yatent City are still sufficient, so the matter of opening up the southbound passage will be taken care of when the marshal returns. ”

In the dormitory, Wang Rong, who knew the origin of Longquan, was also teaching him face-to-face. She and Luo Yingyue Wuniang have been together for a few years, but she knows one thing better, that is, people's hearts are changeable, not to mention that Luo Ying is now the head of a clan, and many things must be considered from their own survival and growth. Therefore, after instructing Longquan to pay attention to and explore, she breathed a sigh of relief and instructed Mo Xie to take two long brocade boxes and open them in front of Longquan.

Long Quan saw that there was a pair of swords between male and female, and immediately asked, "Is this for Luo Qijin and his wife, or is it ......?"

"You just send it out, whether they are husband and wife to keep for their own use, whether the twin siblings are invincible and unequal, in short, I have a piece of my heart." Speaking of this, Wang Rong smiled, and then said, "In addition, in order to ensure the safety of your trip, everyone from Gongsun will also accompany you." ”

Long Quan knew that for several days, it was Aunt Gongsun who guarded the backyard with the accompanying disciples of the Sword Battalion, and when he was about to excuse himself, he saw a figure flash out from behind the curtain, it was Aunt Gongsun. Without waiting for him to speak, Aunt Gongsun said unhurriedly: "I've been away for too long, and I don't know what the situation is, so I can go with you and take care of it." Although you were born in the sword camp, your appearance has changed so much that no one can recognize you. Now that things are urgent, communication is the most important thing, so don't talk nonsense. ”

Long Quan saluted and agreed, and immediately went down to prepare. As soon as he left, Aunt Gongsun pulled the jade slave out from behind the screen again, and said to Wang Rong on the couch: "Although this trip should not be too dangerous, I am afraid of what happens, so I will leave the jade slave here." Hengzhu Luo Xizao is dead, and the military and civilian generals in the city of Anbei Yatent have been greatly disappointed in the imperial court, and the heart of Du is unprecedentedly high, and it is safer for Yunu to stay. ”

"Master!" Yunu wanted to object, but looking at Wang Rong, who was described as haggard on the long couch, she still nodded and said, "I know, Master just go with peace of mind, don't worry about me." I'll take good care of my wife! ”

"Thank you, thank you." Wang Rong bowed slightly, and when she saw Aunt Gongsun stretching out her hand, she also stretched out her hand to shake it, and touched a few hard calluses on her palm, so she took a deep breath and said, "I also ask Aunt Gongsun to tell the Lord of the Luo clan and Mrs. Yue that the foundation of Dubo was laid by them with great hard work, although Du Lang and I occasionally contributed, we would never use this as a threat, nor would we regard them as vassals." We just hope they can help us as they did before. After the wind and thunder in all directions resounded through the world, we will talk about the future! ”

In the face of this resounding promise, Aunt Gongsun couldn't help but be moved. She nodded emphatically and said in a deep voice, "Okay, I'll definitely bring the words!" ”

In the temporary tent of the Hui Tooth Tent City, Du Shiyi was personally preparing a reply letter to his eldest son Du Guangyuan, but he did not point fingers at the current situation in the Western Regions, but only talked about the Great Food Marching Formation, which mentioned the heavy cavalry tactics of the Great Cannibals wearing heavy armor and horses wearing armor, and mentioned that they used camels to transport supplies, instead of using long chariots pulled by oxen and horses, etc., and finally mentioned that they used religion to boost morale, the reward was very high, and the military array drills were skillful, so everyone was willing to die. Moreover, most of those who serve in the army are professional soldiers.

When the letter was delivered, he stood up and walked to the huge sand table symbolizing the Western Regions, looked at it for a while, and then exhaled softly. The last time Du Guangyuan sent a letter, he mentioned that Gao Xianzhi was planning to send troops westward, although he didn't say where to fight, but he knew in his heart that it must be Shiguo, which had only experienced the change of royal system a few years ago.

At this time, it is a critical period for the black-clothed food to replace the white-clothed food and change the dynasty, and the strength of the big food in the Khorasan Governor's Mansion is also unprecedentedly weak. It can be said that if you miss this village, if Datang wants to achieve any fruitful results against Dashi in the west, it will be even more difficult to include those countries west of the Green Ridge into its sphere of influence. But at this time, he was forced to the edge of the cliff, and he couldn't care about that side. He only hoped that Gao Xianzhi would be able to have enough deterrence against the Zhaowu Zhuhu Kingdom while defeating the Shi Kingdom, you must know that the biggest problem of the Tang Dynasty in the countries west of the Green Ridge is that there are too few allies and too many enemies!

It is precisely because in the last years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty that Li Longji did not respond to the request of the current vice king of Shiguo, Yi Tutun, to send troops to rescue Shiguo under the front of the Great Food Army, so that the throne of Shiwang fell into the hands of Chebi Shiren!

"Marshal, General Fugu is in a hurry!"

"Come in!"

Du Shiyi immediately retracted his reverie and turned around and commanded. When the messenger strode into the tent and brought him a copper cylinder with an intact seal, and after checking that the sealing mud was intact, he immediately unscrewed the lid and took out a thin roll of parchment. As soon as he glanced at the few words, he burst out laughing.

"Invincible, invincible, what a Wynne! This time, I pulled out the nest of the black surname of Huang Jiasi, and there was no worries. Since Huaien thinks that the black-haired and black-eyed Huang Jia Si Hei surname thinks that he is in alliance with the Tang Dynasty, but he is ambitious, then he supports the surname Huang Jia Si Chi, just follow him! Come on, prepare the horses, I want to welcome the heroes of this Northern Expedition! ”
