"Guo Daduhu, can there be enough grain and weapons in this city?" Li Tao asked suddenly.

There is no way to do it if the troops are insufficient, and if the food and weapons are not enough, it will be a headache, so Li Tao is very concerned about this.

Guo Qianqian said proudly: "Since the establishment of the city, Beiting has paid attention to hoarding grain, and the people in this city should not be helped from outside, and the food is enough for the soldiers and civilians in the city to eat for a year." Weapons are also quite sufficient! ”

"I'm relieved!" Li Tao breathed a sigh of relief.

Guo Qianqian pointed to the row of majestic buildings in front of him and said, "King Lantian, in front of you is the Duhu Mansion!" ”

After that, Guo Qianqian got off the horse, and Li Tao also got off the horse.

"Lantian King, please!"

"Guo Daduhu, please!"

The two entered the house side by side.

These days, Li Tao has been running all the way, sleeping in the open air, and has not eaten a few hot meals. Although the breakfast prepared by Guo Qianqian was very simple, Li Tao ate it very fragrantly. Seeing Li Tao's style, Guo Qianqian couldn't help nodding secretly.

After breakfast, Li Tao and Guo Qianqian entered the back house of the Duhu Mansion.

The two sat down, and Li Tao asked directly: "What is the situation of the Turks now?" ”

Guo Qianqian sighed and said: "The Turkic army of 100,000 is now like a no-man's land, wantonly plundering in the Western Regions, and most of the ten Turkic surnames have surrendered to it. ”

Li Tao asked again: "Guo Daduhu, you tell me the truth, when the Turks attacked the Turks, did you know or didn't know?" ”

"How could I not know? The day before their sneak attack, our scouts had already detected it! ”

"The reason why you didn't send troops. Is it the meaning of the imperial court? ”

Guo Qian was silent, and said after a long time: "All I can do is to send someone to inform Suog Khan of the Turkic intentions. But he didn't take it seriously, and the result was ......"

Seeing this, Li Tao couldn't help but shake his head and said: "This is really the biggest defeat, I knew today, why bother in the first place?" ”

It was useless to regret, Li Tao still had to face the reality, and he asked again: "Where is the Turkic army now?" ”

"Ten days ago, the Turks were still in the area of Gongyue City. Now it's heading in the direction of the broken leaves! ”

"Broken leaves?" Li Tao was confused: "What are the Turks doing in Broken Leaves?" That's a thousand miles away! ”

"If I'm not wrong, it's related to the Great Cannibal!" Guo Qianqian said with a heavy face.

"The Great Cannibal?" Li Tao also sensed the seriousness of the matter, and he said in a deep voice: "What the hell is going on. You say be detailed. ”

Last year, the big cannibals took advantage of the civil strife in Angola to send troops to Anguo, and Anguo was reduced to ruins. The atrocity of the Great Cannibal infuriated the surrounding countries. Even the farther Bunahan sent reinforcements. Hatred of the same enemy. Seeing that there was no gap to take advantage of, the big cannibal led the troops to retreat. This is a rare victory for the countries of the river against the Great Eclipse, and after celebrating, they each led their troops home. I didn't think that the big cannibal would kill a horse pistol again, and it would be decided in a battle. The reinforcements of various countries that had not yet dispersed were defeated by the Great Cannibals, and the Great Cannibals returned with great plunder. The king of Kangguo was killed in this battle, and the people of the country supported Tu Du as king. It didn't take long. Qu Dibo invaded Anguo again, and suddenly fainted and led his troops to help. The Great Cannibal defeated Kang reinforcements in a field battle. Sudden faint was also wounded. After the victory, the Great Cannibal no longer fought Anguo, but marched eastward and besieged the capital of Kangguo. Suddenly faint and unable to resist, so he surrendered.

The success of the Great Cannibals in the middle of the river caused the countries outside the ridge to fall into a panic, and they begged for help everywhere, asking for reinforcements to resist the Great Eclipse Iron Cavalry.

Guo Qianqian finally said: "Anxi Mansion and Beiting both received rescue letters from Zhaowu countries, and just when we reported whether the imperial court was rescued, the Turks suddenly marched westward and defeated the Turks, and the matter was over. ”

Li Tao realized: "You mean that the Turks may have also received a letter asking for help, and they are heading in the direction of Broken Leaves, wanting to enter the Hezhong region and help the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms defend against the Great Cannibals?" ”

"That's what I guessed, and I can't think of any reason for them to go in the direction of Broken Leaves. No matter how fierce the Turks are, their roots are still in the Mobei grassland, and the former Broken Leaves are getting farther and farther away from Mobei! It's just that I don't understand, how could the Turks be so kind and go thousands of miles to help the Zhaowu countries? ”

Li Tao thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Guo Daduhu, your conjecture is right!" The Turks must be going to the Transoxiana region to meet the Great Cannibals. As for whether the Turks were kind or not, I don't know, but I know that they will definitely go to their aid. ”

"Why is King Lantian so sure?" Guo Qianqian felt strange.

"Just because it was none other than Mo Jianlian, the Que Special Service Brothers, and the Tun Desire Valley who led the Turkic army. Mo Du had long seen that these three people were not pleasing to the eye, and it was not a day or two to want their lives. These three people disobeyed the order and attacked the Turgish, defeated the Turgish, and they rode away from the mud pills, the wind and the clouds, and plundered all the ten surnames of the Western Turks. But disobedience on the battlefield is a capital crime everywhere, don't you make some great achievements? They must have thought of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu, but at this moment, the countries of the river rushed to the hospital and sent them a letter of rescue. In their opinion, as long as the big cannibals are driven away, the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms will be the fat in their mouths, and if they don't pretend to be full of money, they will not easily return to Mobei! With this in mind, it makes sense for them to go to Broken Leaves! ”

After hearing this, Guo Qianqian couldn't help but look at Li Tao in surprise: "King Lantian has been in Chang'an for a long time, how can he be so familiar with Mo Jianlian and others?" Looking at the current situation, your judgment is completely correct. ”

"I've been to the Turks before, and I've had a relationship with Mojilian, Que Special Service, and Tun Desire Valley, and I know a little about them." Speaking of this, Li Tao stood up and said, "If our judgment is correct, then it is good news for us now!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Guo Qianqian didn't understand a little, this was obviously bad news, but how did it turn into good news in Li Tao's mouth.

"After the defeat of the Turgish, the Western Regions were already in chaos. The invasion of the Turks into the Western Regions is only one of the changes, and the pace of eastward expansion is irrepressible. In this case, how did the Tang garrison of Anxi and Beiting deal with this situation with only Anxi and Beiting? If the Turks and the Great Cannibals unite, it will be even worse for the Tang Dynasty. But now, the Turks are facing the Great Cannibals, and wouldn't it be the most beneficial for us? We can take advantage of the opportunity of their two tigers to reorganize and fight, and when the Turks and the Great Cannibals have divided the victory and defeat, we will also lose both, and then we can suddenly exert our strength to drive them all out of the Western Regions in one fell swoop. ”

Guo Qian looked at the young man in front of him in a daze, he had heard the rumors of Li Tao, he just smiled, he was very respectful to Li Tao before, that was because Li Tao had the identity of the king of Lantian and the imperial court, and now he worships Li Tao. Guo Qianqian really couldn't understand how Li Tao had the power to turn decay into magic, and after a few words, he actually saw the light of day, so that his worried self also saw an opportunity in the chaotic situation.

Guo Qianqian finally lost his breath: It seems that this time the imperial court sent Li Tao, the king of Lantian, to deal with the chaos in the Western Regions, and he really found the right person. (To be continued......)
