That's right, the person who came was Zhang Xuanbiao.

No wonder Zhang Xuanbiao is angry, he is holding his stomach! He has been in the Western Regions for so many years, and no one has dared to support himself like this, but this Li Tao is so inferior to himself. Originally, he wanted to make a personality, but he didn't arrive within the prescribed time limit to see what this Li Tao could do with himself. But his subordinates persuaded him one after another, if he couldn't bear it, he would make a big plan, no matter what, Li Tao was also a bad man, if he grabbed the pigtail and moved the real character, it would be really dumb and bitter to eat. Zhang Xuanbiao also heard this reason, and hurried to receive the letter.

Zhang Xuanbiao has also been a horse all his life, and this road should be nothing, but after all, he is old, and he has been a little pampered in the past two years, and he almost broke up his body bones along the way. Hurry up and hurry up Zhang Xuanbiao finally arrived in Tingzhou, but saw that the captain of the city guard was coming to check on him, how could he not be angry.

The lieutenant had obviously already been instructed, and he hurriedly said, "Please wait a while, and I won't go to ask Guo Duhu for this." ”

After a while, Guo Xuanqian, who had received the letter, hurried forward, and saw Zhang Xuanbiao's angry face, and naturally knew his aggrieved panic in his heart, he pretended not to know, and arched his hand to Zhang Xuanbiao and said: "Zhang Dadu has worked hard all the way, Guo is late to greet him, forgive his sins!" ”

Seeing that Guo Qian was quite respectful to himself, Zhang Xuanbiao couldn't express his anger, so he had to say in a muffled voice: "Guo Duhu, take me to the post house quickly, my old Zhang is almost exhausted." ”

Guo Qian hugged his fists and said: "Most of the protectors forgive me, you can't go to the post house now!" ”

"Why is that?" Zhang Xuanbiao became angry when he heard this.

"King Lantian has ordered, most of them can't go to the post house after they arrive in Tingzhou. Go to the Metropolitan Mansion and see him quickly! ”

Zhang Xuanbiao's face turned green when he heard this, and he muttered, "Are you in such a hurry to be reincarnated?" ”

Seeing that Guo Qian didn't speak, Zhang Xuanbiao suppressed his anger and said, "King Lantian said that he didn't say anything?" ”

Lantian Wang said. An emergency military meeting is to be held! Guo Qianqian seemed to remember something, and said: "King Lantian also said that if most of the guards do not come to the meeting within half an hour after arriving in Tingzhou, they will be engaged in the military law of delaying the fighter!" ”

Zhang Xuanbiao listened to Guo Xuanqian's words, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, this still doesn't let people live?

"Dadu Protector. There's a quarter of an hour left, and if you don't hurry up, you really won't be able to catch up with the Metropolitan Protectorate! Guo Qian reminded on the side.

It seems that this Li Tao has settled on himself, and Zhang Xuanbiao is no longer in the mood to be angry with this Qincha, who has never met before. He said weakly: "Guo Duhu, lead the way!" ”

Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Xuanbiao entered the Beiting Metropolitan Protector's Mansion, Li Tao was already waiting for him.

"Zhang Dadu protects. It's been a great journey! Li Tao greeted Zhang Xuanbiao with a smile.

"It's not hard. I haven't seen the king of Lantian! Zhang Xuanbiao hurriedly replied.

"It's good if it's not hard, we've been waiting for you, so let's have a meeting directly." Li Tao's expression was changed......

……

Outside Tingzhou City, Guo Qianqian and Zhang Xuanbiao looked bitter, and they were seeing off Li Tao.

"You two, please go back! We'll see you again soon! "Li Tao is much more comfortable than them.

"King Lantian, how many people are there in the army you are talking about?" Zhang Xuanbiao asked cautiously.

"Three thousand!" Li Tao replied solemnly.

"Huh? Only 3,000 people? ”

Zhang Xuanbiao was stunned when he heard this. The King of Lantian didn't know how big the Western Regions were, and there were only 3,000 people scattered here. It's like a drop of water thrown into the sea, but Li Tao actually called 3,000 people an army.

Guo Qian also kindly reminded on the side: "King Lantian, don't underestimate your opponent, whether it is the Eastern Turks or the Great Cannibals, they have tens of thousands of people, and their combat strength is not weak, you only bring 3,000 people, this is ......"

Li Tao didn't care and said: "Who said that the side with more people must win the war?" Soldiers are fine, not many! This time against the Turks and the Great Eclipse, I know in my heart, so you don't have to worry about it. Remember, it is a great achievement to guard the various gates of Anxi and Beiting for me! ”

Speaking of this, Li Tao's face showed a strong murderous aura: "If it is because of your negligence, people cut off my back road, if I don't die, I will definitely not let you have a good time!" ”

As soon as they heard this, the two of them immediately fell silent.

At yesterday's meeting, Li Tao ordered the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate to transfer 10,000 troops, the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate to transfer 5,000 troops, and all 15,000 people to Ashina Xian, who was responsible for completely eliminating Ashina Dudan, and then subduing the Ten Arrows subordinates. Anxi and Beiting originally did not have many troops, so this time they were even more stretched. Now that they heard Li Tao say such cruel words, where do they dare to be angry?

Looking at the distant backs of Li Tao and Kang Lu couple, Guo Qian and Zhang Xuanbiao could only look at each other and smile bitterly.

……

Li Tao has been to the Turkic steppe, and in his impression, the grassland is like a huge carpet of boundless greenery, spread between heaven and earth, the wind blows, the cattle and sheep are leisurely, and the horses are jubilant. The small river rips through the skirts of the grassland, and the fragrance of wild flowers adorns the appearance of the grassland. But at this moment, the grasslands of the Western Regions are not so bright, but more of an autumn slaughter. In the wilderness where the wind and frost have withered the grass, from time to time, there are geese flying in formations returning south, hissing, adding a desolate and far-reaching artistic conception to the grassland.

In that desolate yellow loneliness, the sky is boundless and far-reaching, and the earth is boundless. At that moment, even the most powerful person can feel small, fragile and fleeting.

Li Tao and Kang Lu were not in a hurry, and when they were resting, Li Tao asked them to learn more about the composition and customs of the various tribes in the Western Regions, after all, his understanding of the Western Regions only came from books. Through the conversations along the way in the past two days, Li Tao has a further understanding of the Western Regions, and his next thinking has gradually become clear.

On the third day, Li Tao got up very early and walked out of the tent. In the morning, the air on the grassland is exceptionally fresh, and every breath you take feels like you are washing your heart and lungs, which is extremely refreshing.

Not far below the tent, a small river flowed clearly, and perhaps it could only be regarded as a spring, because it could be crossed to the opposite bank in one step. Looking down the river, you turn a left far away in the vast grassland, and flow into the mountains or another grassland. The water is so clear that it seems to be non-existent, and the stones at the bottom of the water are even delicate in the patterns on it. These sleek and wonderfully shaped antiquities formed by the impact of hundreds of millions of years are ornamental stones at will, but unfortunately they are too heavy; When Li Tao thought of the history and legends they carried, he suddenly felt mysterious and sacred.
