"Hmph, a little Eagle Lang will be able to buy me? I really underestimate my Xue Ju. After He Zhi left, Xue Ju disdainfully threw aside the letter of appointment in his hand, which was the text of the Ministry of War, but Xue Ju didn't take a fancy it. Because from his conversation with He Zhi, he suddenly realized how powerful the power in his hands was.

He Zhi is right, Xue Ju is known for his bravery in Jincheng, and what these Qiang people admire most is people with force, just like Ma Chao back then, and it is the same now, Xue Ju has little to do with these Qiang people, and it is not difficult to get tens of thousands of soldiers and horses between waving his hands.

"Big brother." At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and I saw a big man like a mountain walking in, although his hair was scattered, and even the clothes on his body were worn together randomly, but the big eyes of the copper bell were flashing with fierce light, and his face was hideous. He is the strongest thug under Xue Ju, the biggest bandit leader around Jincheng, Zong Luohu.

"Brother Xian, sit." After Xue Ju made up his mind, the momentum on his body also came up, pulled Zong Luohu, and said: "Brother Xian, the sky in the Western Regions is about to change, the imperial court has set up the Western Regions Protectorate in the Western Regions, and the west of Lanzhou is under the control of the Metropolitan Protectorate. The newly arrived Metropolitan Governor has already sent a vanguard to Lanzhou. ”

"So what? Do you dare to come and destroy us? Zong Luohu had never seen the world, and said disdainfully: "For so many years, the emperor Puwan has also sent troops to exterminate us, but in the end, it was not the wolf we beat who fled, and now he doesn't dare to offend us?" ”

"Li Xin can be the same as other people, Huang Puwan can't be ranked in front of him at all, otherwise, the emperor will not send Li Xin to the Western Regions, you must know that the Western Regions are complex, not only there are thirty-six countries, but also such a powerful country as the Western Turks. If you want to sit in the Western Regions, it is not something that ordinary people can do. Xue Ju shook his head and said.

"No matter how powerful it is, it has to be destined to come to the northwest." Zong Luohu's face was hideous, and he said in a low voice: "Big brother, this matter can't be dragged on, as soon as Li Xin comes, he will definitely attack around Jincheng, and we will also be the target of his attack. Anyway, it is in the northwest, and there are countless desert Gobi, and I don't know who started killing him. ”

Xue Ju nodded, in fact, he also thought about it, but he was worried that Li Xin's troops were too many, and he was not his opponent, so he said at the moment: "In a few days, Li Xin's vanguard soldiers and horses will arrive under Jincheng, and when the time comes, how about we go and see Li Xin's vanguard?" ”

"Since the eldest brother said so, I'll follow behind." Zong Luohu said without thinking: "Although they are all wearing armor, I don't believe that these guys are more powerful than our brothers. ”

"Remember, don't underestimate these people, Li Xin will definitely not be as simple as imagined." Xue Ju sighed deeply, it wasn't that how could the dragon of the river fight the head snake, Li Xin was thinking about how to deal with the local heroes from the beginning, and was ready to divide the land, which was clearly to do it to the heroes of Jincheng. Xue Ju had to be careful.

"No matter how powerful you are, when you get to Jincheng, you have to listen to us." Zong Luohu said disdainfully: "Big brother, why don't you talk to those guys from the Qiang tribe, those guys seem to be herdsmen, but in fact, aren't they also doing the work of bandits in private?" As long as they are given money, what can't they do, kill Li Xin, what can the court do? If the law does not blame the public, is it necessary to exterminate all these Qiang people? Then I'm afraid the whole Northwest will be in chaos. ”

"Yes, you're right. Let's go, let's go, we'll go to Minshanqiang now, and I'm sure they'll agree. Xue Ju laughed. Although he decided to do something to Li Xin, he was still a little uneasy in his heart, and now after Zong Luohu said this, his heart suddenly became happy, and he nodded again and again. Kill Li Xin, even if the imperial court really uses troops, it is impossible to kill the Qiang people. What's more, if you are hiding behind, if you don't get it right, the court will reuse yourself, and it may not be impossible for you to become the second Li Xin.

"Okay." Zong Luohu nodded, it was not the first time he went to Minshanqiang, every time he went, it meant that he had made a big deal, and it was not once or twice that he wanted to work with Minshanqiang, at most this time the matter was a little bigger.

"Boss, this northwest is really not a place for people to stay!" Outside the city of Lanzhou, a group of soldiers walked on the official road, gray-faced, although they were wearing armor, but they looked like wolves. Su Dingfang, the general at the head, shook his head and said with some distress. From Bingzhou to Lanzhou, there are not only snowstorms, but also sandstorms.

"Haha, General Su, you will have to have this kind of day in the future." Pei Shiju laughed and said, "However, I believe that our soldiers will definitely be able to withstand such difficulties." Pei Shiju also looked at the soldiers behind, and I have to say that the soldiers under Li Xin's command are very strange, and when marching in this situation, it is not said that the morale has been affected, and it is normal for deserters to appear. But in Li Xin's army, except for the fact that he looked a little wolf in terms of clothing and looked a little tired, there was no other situation, and at night, there were still special people to teach knowledge, those brigade commanders, captains and even generals, at night, they all became scholars, or literate, or listened to their superiors teach various military knowledge, all of which made Pei Shiju very curious, more surprised, and a little afraid in his heart.

"Hehe, then it depends on how the general arranges it, I believe the general will definitely arrange it." Su Dingfang said confidently.

"You believe in the Metropolitan so much?" Pei Shiju asked with some curiosity.

"The Metropolitan Governor itself is a miracle, my lord, in addition to my Great Sui getting rid of the Great General, can there be anyone like the Metropolitan Governor, who has risen to the top and is now in charge of the Western Regions?" Su Dingfang's face was mysterious.

Pei Shiju's face moved, shook his head, and said, "It's really not." "Like Li Xin, a person who climbs so fast has really never appeared, and maybe there is really a way to solve the matter in the northwest.

"It's Jincheng ahead, my lord, do you think the people of Jincheng welcome us?" Su Dingfang was not a fool, he naturally saw that the arrival of himself and others would cause changes in Jincheng, and even during the march, he had already noticed that strangers appeared around the army to monitor the movements of the army.

"With an army in hand, even if you have an enemy on your side, you don't have to be afraid." Pei Shiju said casually.
