Chapter 288: Spoils (6th Watch)

"The Governor of the Metropolitan has arrived." There was a shout in the distance, and Ashina really saw a group of people walking in the distance, led by a young and unseemly man, with a strong body, walking like the wind, although he was wearing a big hat, but he could still feel it, and there was a huge power hidden in his clothes, which people did not dare to underestimate.

"Ashinabu has really seen the Grand Duke." Ashina Buzhen took a deep breath, carefully put away the anger in his heart, and bowed to Li Xin.

"Ashina Buzhen? You didn't defend against the Tiele people in Futu City, why did you come to Luomanshan? Li Xin said with a smile: "I was going to rest in Luoman Mountain for a while, and then the class returned to the court, but I didn't expect to hear that the Tiele people occupied Gaochang City, so that Her Royal Highness the princess had nowhere to return, and had to stop here, I don't know when the Turks will be able to recover Gaochang Kingdom, so that I can have a place to live for the princess, General Ashina, what do you say?" ”

"Damn." Even if Ashina Buzhen was prepared in his heart, he was also angry by Li Xin's words, Li Xin didn't have any credit at all, so he wanted to occupy Gaochang Kingdom, ostensibly to find a place for Princess Huarong to live, but in fact to occupy Gaochang City.

"Princess Huarong is the princess of the Great Sui, and the Metropolitan Governor is also the Metropolitan Governor of the Great Sui, since she is looking for a place for the princess to live, it is also the power and responsibility of the Metropolitan Governor, right? Honorable Governor of the Great Sui. Ashina Buzhen's eyes showed anger, looked at Li Xin and said: "If the Grand Governor does not have this ability, I, the Great Turk, am willing to serve Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

"I'm afraid I'll have to wait until you solve the siege of Futu City!" Su Dingfang snorted coldly and said: "At the beginning, you and I besieged the Servant Bone Song together, and there were many Turkic soldiers and horses, not to mention the attack we launched first, you actually didn't have the ability to leave the Tiele army, and now you are besieged in Futu City?" Why, did you come to us for help? ”

"You." Ashina's face turned red, but when he saw Li Xin's smiling expression, he thought of the warriors of the clan who were fighting bravely in the Khan Futu City in the distance. A little anger and unwillingness in his heart disappeared without a trace, stood up, saluted and said: "Ashina Bu is really on the order of my general, please see that my Turks and the Great Sui generation have a good relationship, send troops to Futu City, relieve the siege of Futu City, and my Turks will have something to repay." ”

"Yes." Li Xin didn't want to nod and said, "I can help the Turks solve the Tiele people in the Western Regions, but you also know that I have fewer soldiers and horses, and I don't have enough food and grass. Originally, he would have returned to the Great Sui as soon as possible, but now that he is short of food and grass, he does not know that the Turks may support him. ”

"Yes." Ashina Bu really didn't want to nod his head, this was one of the conditions that Ashina Ming gave when he came, and Ashina Buzhen naturally would not object.

"Second, Princess Huarong is one of the most noble princesses of our dynasty, and the princess married to the Western Regions, and now she doesn't even have a place to live. Isn't that ironic? I want Gaochang, Yanqi, and Qiuzi to be the princess's food, I don't know what the general thinks? Li Xin nodded and said.

"Nope." Ashina Buzhen finally couldn't help but stand up, glared at Li Xin angrily, and said loudly: "The Metropolitan Governor has too much appetite. Aren't you afraid of eating hard? Not to mention the Three Kingdoms, that is, my Sanmi Mountain is in the territory of Qiuzi Country, does the Metropolitan Governor want our Sanmi Mountain? "Sanmi Mountain is the location of the Khan's court of the Eastern Turks, and Li Xin asked for the country of Qiuzi. It's just the Sanmi Mountain that wants them.

"Ahem! The governor of the capital, his subordinates thought that Gaochang and Yanqi were enough to become the princess's food. Chu Suiliang coughed. His face was slightly red, and he said dissuasively. Li Xin's tone was too big, and he actually wanted Sanmi Mountain in the Western Regions, which was equivalent to asking Emperor Yang of Sui for a great city. How could Ashina really be willing?

"That's not good, since Princess Huarong is married to Gaochang, she is using Gaochang as a food." Ashina Buzhen still refused: "What was the forty-four countries of the Western Regions like to the Great Sui before, and what will it be like in the future." The Grand Governor, this is the last condition, the Metropolitan Governor's willingness is naturally the best, if he is unwilling, then he can only be willing. ”

"In that case, it can only be a send-off." Li Xin's face was gloomy, and he snorted coldly.

"Slow, slow." Chu Suiliang heard this and hurriedly dissuaded on the side: "The Metropolitan Governor, General Ashina, I think that the biggest enemy of both sides at this time is the Tiele people, and now the Tiele people not only occupy Gaochang, but also attack Futu City, Futu City is in turmoil, and the two sides should not be sincere in unity at this time." General, the subordinates thought that at this time the two sides could take another step back, we would occupy Gaochang, Gaochang was not in the list of Turkic tribute, since the king of Gaochang had taken refuge in the Tiele people, then he could no longer be the king of Gaochang, and he could set up another king of Gaochang. What does the Metropolitan think? ”

"The countries of the Western Regions must ensure the interests of our Great Sui merchants in the countries of the Western Regions, and the Western Regions must also ensure the smooth flow of trade routes. As for King Gaochang, I think he will set up the son of the princess's womb, how about it? Li Xin's face was gloomy, his eyes were full of anger, and he snorted coldly and said: "The Turks of Gaochang State are not allowed to garrison troops, if they are willing to use this condition, if they are unwilling, I will unite with the Tiele people, first take Futu City, seize the grain and grass in it, and then go to attack Sanmi Mountain." ”

"The Governor, a word is a certainty." Ashina really didn't expect Li Xin to mention this condition, and his heart was suddenly relieved, which was a few points better than Ashinaming's bottom line for himself, he suddenly stood up and said loudly.

"Pontus spat and nailed. However, if you and I defeat the Tiele people, we will all belong to each other. Li Xin said with a cold snort.

"In that case, I'm looking forward to the actions of the Grand Duke." Ashina Buzhen glanced at Li Xin and said: "I hope that the Metropolitan Governor will not break his promise, the siege of Futu City is in danger, so I will go back first and wait for the arrival of the Metropolitan Governor's soldiers and horses." ”

"General, please." Li Xin nodded, since the negotiation had been reached, Li Xin did not keep him here, and the remaining thing was when to attack the Tiele people and solve the Tiele people. Li Xin believed that at that time, the army under Ashina Ming was also exhausted, and it was too late to deal with Gaochang Guo in the face of the attack of the Tiele people to recapture the Western Regions. In the years to come, the Turks and the Tiele will fight in this part of the Western Regions. In fact, the difference in strength between the two sides was not very large, and after the victory of the Turks, Li Xin's layout in the east had been almost completed, and he definitely had enough strength to deal with the betrayal of the Western Turks.

"The matter has finally been settled, and the next step is when we harvest." After Ashina really left, Li Xin sat down, glanced at everyone, and said: "Everyone, according to the news, after the Tiele people occupied Gaochang, they put all the gold and silver treasures they have obtained over the years in Gaochang City, everyone, do you know what this means?" This means that once we occupy Gaochang City, we will get a lot of gold and silver treasures, and with these things, our Western Regions Protectorate will not have to worry about money for a long time. With this money, we can continue to recruit troops and deal with the difficulties that we may face. ”

"Governor, what shall we do now? To attack Gaochang City, what if Futu City falls? Su Dingfang said with some concern.

"If Futu City is captured so easily, it means that Futu City's defense is average, so that when they capture Futu City, we will take back Futu City from the Tiele people." Li Xin said casually. The life and death of the Turks were not taken into account in the slightest. Everyone was stunned when they heard this, followed by a burst of laughter.

After all, Futu City is not in his own control, and the people living in it are also Turks, and if he recaptures Futu City, he will also take it from the hands of the Tiele people, and it has nothing to do with the Turks. Presumably, the Turks also have nothing to say.

"What the Metropolitan Governor said is that we will occupy Gaochang City first." Chu Suiliang also nodded and said, "As for Futu City, it will not be captured by the Tiele people in a short period of time. After the battle between the two sides, whether it is the Servant Bone Song or Ashinami, they are already exhausted, and if we attack at this time, we will get more things. ”

"Then attack overnight." Li Xin said loudly: "General Huangpu is already in Gaochang City, plus our Jinyi Guard, we have enough opportunity and time to capture Gaochang City, this time we capture Gaochang City, we can't let go of an enemy." Especially at the north gate, Su Dingfang led an army of 20,000 people to defend the north gate, Wei Chi Gong led 10,000 people to enter from the west gate, and the general personally led other armies to attack from the east gate. ”

"Yes." There was excitement on the faces of all the generals, when everyone retreated from Gaochang, although they were not very wolf, but they felt like they had been driven out, and now they can finally go back openly.

"In that case, the generals go down and prepare!" Li Xin saw that the morale of the generals was high, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

After the generals left, they found that Chu Suiliang was still sitting there, and Li Xin asked curiously: "What can Mr. Chu teach me?" ”

"My subordinates would like to ask the Metropolitan Governor, after the capture of Gaochang, how will the Gaochang King Lu Bo Yadang arrange?" Chu Suiliang asked in a low voice.

"This? What does the gentleman think? Li Xin glanced behind him, and then asked with some embarrassment.

"Tiele people do all kinds of evil, and their subordinates are worried about the accumulation of hundreds of years in Gaochang Kingdom, there is a lot of money, and the king of Gaochang is loyal and unyielding, and he would rather be broken than broken!" Chu Suiliang explained in a low voice.

"Really? If so, it would be a pity. Send someone to tell Emperor SΓΉ Puxuan and others that they must ensure the life of King Gaochang. After hearing this, Li Xin nodded, and said with a sigh: "I hope that when we enter Gaochang City, King Gaochang will still be alive." ”

"I hope so." Chu Suiliang hurriedly said: "My subordinates will arrange it." As he spoke, he saluted Li Xin, and then retreated. (To be continued......)
