After completely annihilating Li Qingxiong's team, Xiao Qubing led people to attack a temporary camp of snake teeth at night, and killed a total of thirty snake tooth knights along with the front. There was no obstacle along the way, and Xiao Qubing also got the information he wanted from Li Qingxiong.

The ten-man squad quickly rode their horses and horses in turn, and it only took three days to arrive at the thirsty city of Ning Yuanguo. Xiao Quzhi asked Gu Xiaojun and the others to stay there to pass on the information and inform Gao Xianzhi of his orders, while he returned with Amir Jiangyuan and reported the information he got to Gao Xianzhi.

"What? You say that this snake tooth force is from the anti-Tang forces in the area of Broken Leaf River? Listening to Xiao Qu's report, Gao Xianzhi asked in surprise.

Xiao Quzhi nodded: "The scouts we sent were all intercepted by them halfway. They were led by the white knights of the snakefangs, each of whom could shoot a three-stone bow and ride a hundred and fifty shots on their horses, so it was no wonder that our scouts were no match for them. Luckily, Amirjan and I were far ahead of them, and we captured a Snaketooth Lieutenant, and the information we got from him before he died should be credible. ”

Of course, it is credible, Xiao Quzhi still clearly remembers the sad and angry, aggrieved, and unconvinced expression of the deputy commander of the white tooth named Li Qingxiong at that time: "I don't accept you!" Your archery skills are not as good as mine, and your riding skills are not good! You just use brute force...... If I had your strength, you wouldn't be able to dodge an arrow! ”

"But you didn't." Xiao Quzhi said with a smile.

Li Qingxiong's pride in his life, in the face of Xiao Quai, was directly bombarded into slag by his brute force, and his two arms were abolished again. The reason why he didn't commit suicide was just that he wanted to say this to Xiao Quai. Of course, what he wants to know more is how Xiao Qubing did it. Xiao Qubing readily agreed to him, and in exchange, Li Qingxiong gave Xiao Qubing the information he wanted. Combined with the historical knowledge he knew, Xiao Quzhi thought that he was not lying. So he told him the secret of the bowstring and the horse's hoof, and of course the secret of the body told a lie.

Xiao Quzhi continued to report: "As early as nine years ago, when Mohe Dagan set up the Tuqi Khan surnamed Shi Huang to occupy Broken Leaf City, the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu in the River were attacked by the Great Eclipse. There are many Jiuguo Hu who have been exiled to the area of Xiaye River, and they have been gathered together by the Tuqi Shi surnamed Huang and taken for their own use. Mohe Dagan had ambitions and rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, and later he was killed by Fumeng Lingcha, and then Wang Zhengjian attacked Broken Leaf City, but the forces of Huang surnamed Tuqishi have been ruling the area of Broken Leaf River.

Huang surnamed Tuqi Shi, Shi Guo and the Jiuguo Hu who are living here have joined forces to be independent of the Tang Dynasty and Da Shi. Now that they have learned that Zhongcheng is going to attack them, at this time, they have already asked for help from Da Shi. Our army, when it reaches the river, will be surrounded on all sides. ”

Gao Xianzhi nodded, of course he knew more about these situations than Xiao Quai. Half of the reason why he attacked Shi Guo last year was of course at the invitation of the king of Ning Yuan Kingdom. Twelve years ago, together with Eastern Bathhana, Fumon Lingcha attacked the city of Talas, which was occupied by the Black Turgish, and the city was occupied by Bathhana. Later, the Stone Kingdom fought with it, and the city of Talas was occupied by the Stone Kingdom. The other half of the reason was that he found that Shi Guo was entangled with the rebellious Huang Tuqishi, and there was a sense of unity. Now it seems that they have colluded for a long time, and they have hooked up nine years ago. (About the Tuqi Shi Xiongzhu Sulu Khan, and after the death of Sulu Khan, the Tuqi Shi Huang and Hei surnames disputed, the relationship between them and the Tang Dynasty, and the Shi Kingdom, and the Shi Kingdom and Ning Yuan Kingdom fought for Talas City?) I will explain these in detail in the work in the future)

Fortunately, Gao Xianzhi was not completely defenseless against the Huang surnamed Tuqishi, and this time on the way to Anxi, Gao Xianzhi transferred to Shancheng to meet with Ge Shuhan and asked him to send the Tianwei army to attack Broken Leaf to relieve his pressure and stabilize the rear. Now that I think about it, Tianwei Jun should also go to Beiting Tingzhou, right?

But it's really hard to do it now, Shi Guo has always been controlled by the Tuqi Shi, let's not talk about it, this Huang surnamed Tuqi Shi and the Jiuguo Hu who was defeated by the Great Eclipse and fell to the Broken Leaf River were originally hostile to the Great Eclipse. Now because of the Anxi Army, they are united. And Kang Guo, Mi Guo, Shi Guo and other Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms are now under the control of Da Shi because they were suppressed by Da Shi, and Da Shi will definitely levy them to participate in the war. It's really like what the auxiliary minister said, there are enemies on all sides!

It is equivalent to saying that there are now a total of four forces: Datang and Da Shi are the main opponents. Kang, Mi, An, Shi, He, Cao and other Zhaowu nine surnamed countries were actually controlled by Da Shi, but they wanted to get rid of Da Shi and throw themselves into Da Tang; The forces composed of Shi Guo, Huang Tuqi Shi and Jiuguo Hu who were exiled in Xiaye River originally wanted to stand on their own, but at this time they took the initiative to throw themselves into the Great Eclipse. On my side, there are a dozen or three, and I am under a lot of pressure! If you can find a way to contact Kang Guo and other Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms who were suppressed by Da Shi, and let them revolt before the battle and fall to the Tang Dynasty, this will be a big chance of winning.

It's just that the task is a bit too daunting.

In short, no matter how difficult it is, this time the troops must eliminate this anti-Tang force entrenched in the Xiaye River and reopen the northern route of the Silk Road. If the situation allows, it would be better if the Great Cannibal could be driven out of the river, and the Tang forces would really control the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms.

Knowing that Gu Xiaojun and the others had already asked them to start war mobilization in Ning Yuanguo, Gao Xianzhi did not hesitate. A meeting was held, the actual situation was reported, and the army continued to set off. Six days later, 20,000 Anxi elites and 8,000 Qarlu mercenaries finally arrived at the most loyal subject state of the Tang Dynasty in the river, Ningyuan. At this time, forty days had passed, and more than half of the time had been spent climbing over the green mountains.

The king of Ningyuan, Asirota Dagan, whose Chinese name is Dou Zhongjie, personally went out of the city ten miles to greet him, and when he saw Gao Xianzhi, Wu Yang knelt down: "The little king of Ningyuan country, Dou Zhongjie, the king of Fenghua of the Tang Dynasty, visited the envoy of the Four Towns Festival, opened the palace with the three divisions, and the high school Cheng!" ”

Dou Zhongjie is the king of a country, and his title in the Tang Dynasty is also higher than Gao Xianzhi (he is a prince, Gao Xianzhi is a county duke, several levels higher), but when the two met, it was Dou Zhongjie who knelt down and bowed to Gao Xianzhi. Xiao Quai's illness also felt extremely happy, this is the status of a big country.

Gao Xianzhi helped him up with his own hands: "King Fenghua doesn't need to be polite, let's say as we walk, how many soldiers and horses can Ning Yuanguo send to the river this time?" ”

Dou Zhongjie is an old man in his sixties, perhaps because of the perennial battle, his health is actually very good, and his movements on the horse are not muddy. He rode next to Gao Xianzhi and said, "Ningyuan is a small country, the national strength is about nine thousand, leaving three thousand to defend the city, you can send six thousand cavalry to accompany Zhongcheng on the expedition." ”

Gao Xianzhi nodded, because Princess Heyi was here, Ning Yuanguo had frequent contacts with Anxi, and even Chang'an. He knew about Ning Yuan's actual situation, and it was almost this number, "Very good, how many days can I go out with so-and-so?" ”

Since the turmoil in the river, although Ning Yuanguo has not been affected, he is always worried. Seeing that An Guo, Kang Guo, Shi Guo and others were brutally suppressed by Da Shi, several kings died, and half of the other nobles died. On the one hand, Dou Zhongjie was secretly glad that he hugged the right thigh, with the support of Datang, and Da Shi didn't dare to do anything to Ning Yuan for a while; On the other hand, because of this reason, Ning Yuanguo was also hit by the Great Food, Tubo, especially Shiguo, and Huang Tuqishi, which made Ning Yuanguo have to maintain a state of war from time to time, and he couldn't let go of his heart all the time.

Dou Zhongjie said without thinking about it: "You can go out with Zhongcheng at any time." I don't know where Zhongcheng's first goal is? ”

Gao Xianzhi said loudly: "On the way back to Anxi, the king of Xiba Khana actually bought a horse bandit to intercept and kill Yu X, and wanted to take the lead in capturing the Husan City of Xiba Khanna. After that, he went all the way east to attack Samatjan (present-day Samarkand) and then all the way to the city of Catcher (present-day Bukhara) in the state of Anxi. His Majesty received the "Please Ask for the Great Food Table" from King Kang, King An, King Kumi, and Tocharian Yehu, and he was very angry, and this time he wanted to drive away the Great Food for them. ”

Wang Chengen, the eunuch of the prison army on the side, pursed his mouth imperceptibly, thinking, you really dare to talk nonsense. His Majesty did receive these "Please Eat Tables" a long time ago, but he didn't say that he would send troops. At the earliest, the Tang Dynasty wanted to fight the Later Turks, and then the Tibetan rebellion followed. Now that the Turks have been defeated, and the Tibetans are honest, they have the strength to deal with the affairs in the river, but they didn't say that they sent troops to the river to stand out for them. However, Wang Chengen didn't say anything, Gao Xianzhi was on the march, and he was also involved when he made the battle plan, knowing that it was fake news.

"Good! What ......" Dou Zhongjie was stunned and his eyes widened: "Fight all the way to the Capture and Drink City?" Zhongcheng, do you think about it again? ”

If it is said that he will go to the Husan city of Siba Khanna, Dou Zhongjie is 10,000 in favor. The two sides have been fighting each other for decades and have become mortal enemies. He also asked the Tang Dynasty several times to send troops to attack Sibakhana, but he never received a response. At this time, hearing Gao Xianzhi say this, of course, it was joy from heaven for him.

However, if he wants to fight the big cannibal heavy garrison, Samad Jianhe and the city of hunting and drinking, he doesn't approve of it, what kind of joke? He is very clear about the combat effectiveness of the Great Food Army, because of the influence of religion, he thinks that after death, he can enter the kingdom of heaven and start a war, and he is not afraid of death; Coupled with the long-term war, the military quality of each soldier is not low, and Posilin and Ziyad are both famous generals in the world, and the combat effectiveness of the Great Food Army is not as good as that of Siba Khan. And the number of troops Tang Army is not superior, the big cannibal has been running the river for so many years, which is equivalent to a local battle, and Gao Xianzhi is equivalent to a lone expedition. How do you think that Gao Xianzhi doesn't look like he can push all the way over, conquer Samajian, and hit the Capture City?

Gao Xianzhi saw Dou Zhongjie's suspicious look, and immediately made a look, and he shouted sharply: "This is His Majesty's order, you dare to disobey?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Dou Zhongjie agreed repeatedly. But he was secretly complaining in his heart, there was no way, even if he knew that he was defeated, he could only follow, Ning Yuanguo had long been tied to the same front as Datang. At this time, he only hoped that Gao Xianzhi would be able to recognize the situation as soon as possible and not lose too badly. He Ning Yuanguo's army can also die less, but no matter what, it is always a good thing to be able to unify Bahan!

After pausing for a while, Gao Xianzhi said again: "After returning to the city of thirsty city, you immediately send someone to send a message to Hushu City, telling them that the king will leave the city as soon as possible and surrender, and you can save the people of the city from death; Otherwise, when the army arrives, no one will be left behind! Also, if you send someone to Kang Guo, Shi Guo, Cao Guo and other Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms to deliver a letter, you will say that a certain army came to the river just to drive away the big food, please don't have any doubts. ”

Dou Zhongjie was completely stunned, what kind of trouble is high school Cheng going to make?
