Yan Mengyu didn't move, looked at Xue Rang's waist that was gradually moving away and bowed slightly, and said slowly: "Mother-in-law, Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry left two people to protect General Xue, how can such a humeral minister who has been fighting horses for the country and the people all his life die from the villain's plan?" ”

Granny Yu, who had been silent, was a little surprised, and said with low eyebrows: "Don't worry, princess, the old woman will arrange it." ”

Yan Mengyu only stopped in Liangzhou City for half a day, and then left the city and headed west.

Li Tiantu in Xizhou City was rarely idle for two days.

In the past two days, the weather in Liangzhou was surprisingly good, the sun was warm but not hot, there was little wind in the city, and the air was humid.

In the small adobe courtyard, Li Tiantu was lazily lying on a rocking chair under two poplar trees by the patio, Su Ling'er stood pretty, and two tender little hands danced on the latter's shoulders.

Li Tiantu, who squinted his eyes slightly, smiled and said, "Ling'er, I haven't enjoyed such treatment for a long time, Son." ”

Su Ling'er pursed her lips and smiled: "The 100,000 iron cavalry of Tubo are coming to the city, and the entire Xizhou City is panicked, but Ling'er doesn't believe that Gongzi was still in such a mood at that time. ”

Li Tiantu hummed lightly and said slowly: "Yes, Cathay can only be safe." If a dynasty is surrounded by powerful enemies, how can the people be happy? Therefore, until now, I have never regretted taking the initiative to ask the emperor to come here. ”

Su Ling'er's eyes lit up, and she said thoughtfully: "It seems that Gongzi is planning to take root in the Western Regions for a long time." ”

Li Tiantu was silent, it was a tacit acquiescence, and he waited for a long time before saying: "It's just that I have wronged the people around you, and I have a comfortable life, but I came here to be exposed to the wind and sun all day long." ”

Su Ling'er was also silent for a long time, and then said in a deep voice: "Where the son goes, Ling'er will go." ”

Li Tiantu, who felt that the scene was a little dull, suddenly opened his eyes and chuckled: "Don't worry, the situation between the two powerhouses in the Western Regions will not last long." ”

Su Ling'er was full of doubts, and she couldn't figure out where her son-in-law's confidence came from? That is the Tubo Dynasty, which is as powerful as the Celestial Empire and has the most powerful 500,000 iron horsemen in the world, how can it be overthrown by the strength of one person?

Li Tiantu is not without a purpose, he suddenly remembered Lingyou, the brother who knows how to repay kindness, if the king of Tubo suddenly dies, and King Agaliming, who supports the royal power, is defeated by him, does it mean that there will be a new alternation of the Tubo royal power, and Lingyou, who is the minister of military aircraft of the royal court and the commander of the Northern Army, may take the opportunity to take the throne. As for Ling'er's idea of subverting the Tubo Dynasty, Li Tiantu never thought about it, Lingyou is a Tubo person, since there is a better way, why should Lingyou be in a dilemma in the face of brotherhood and national righteousness?

Li Tiantu relaxed physically and mentally, and slowly closed his eyes again, until Gong Tu appeared at the door of the small courtyard.

Gong Tu hurriedly walked over, looked at Li Tiantu with squinted eyes, and stopped talking. Seeing this, Su Ling'er stopped what she was doing.

Li Tiantu had a premonition that something was happening, and opened his eyes and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Gong Tu responded: "The Tubo army has arrived again, and the number of people is even better than before, and it has surrounded Xizhou City with three layers inside and three layers outside. Li Dadu escorted the dozens of scouts and hidden piles scattered within a radius of fifty miles around the city, but none of them noticed, I am afraid that they are all more auspicious. ”

Li Tiantu's face did not have the surprise that Gong Tu expected, he just wrinkled his good-looking eyebrows slightly, and said to himself: "Brother, you came quickly, three days earlier than I expected." ”

The palace map is inexplicable.

Su Ling'er knew it.

Could it be that the leader is the one who led the army, and the son mentioned to him before that the sworn brother of the alien race?

Li Tiantu glanced at the unknown palace map, and asked unhurriedly: "There are nearly 200,000 Tubo iron horsemen outside the city?" ”

Gong Tu thought about it in his mind, and it was about the same amount, and he nodded and said, "There is a black pressure outside the city, more than half of the last time." To this day, he is still ambiguous about how the Tubo army was defeated last time, but he vaguely heard that the Tubo marshal was suddenly assassinated, and he wanted to have nothing to do with the master in front of him.

Li Tiantu patted the back of Ling'er's tender hand, and suddenly got up and said to Gong Tu: "Go, take me to see Li Laoduhu." ”

Li Bu was under the moat outside the south gate at this time, frowning and looking at the dense Tubo iron horsemen on the other side of the river.

Before the neat Tubo Iron Cavalry, a mausoleum flag fluttered in the wind, and Li Bu's eyes were mostly on the mausoleum handsome banner and the young general in silver armor under the banner.

If it was two months ago, Lingyou's handsome banner would at best have made Anxi Daduhu pay some attention, that's all. After all, during the years of the confrontation between the Lingyou garrison and the northern frontier of Tubo and Libu, although there was small-scale friction between the two armies, there were few large-scale battles in the context of the peaceful diplomacy between the two countries. Li Bu relied on the qualifications and experience of the old oilman in the field, and he never suffered a loss in several small frictions, but made Lingyou suffer a lot of hidden losses. But just two months ago, after Lingyou defeated Xue Rang, the undefeated general of the Celestial Empire, in Dafeichuan, no one would despise Lingyou, who had succeeded in the first battle. Li Bu thought that if he was not Xue Rang's opponent in terms of the art of war and strategy, he would not be able to fight with twice the force, so since then he has raised Lingyou to an infinite height. Looking back at the various small wars in the past, the more Anxi Dadu Hu thought about it, the more frightened he became, endured small things, and became big things, which is the only way for a soldier to become a commander.

Yanqi Town is less than 400 miles away from Xizhou City, but it took five days for the Tubo army to arrive at the city, so that when they arrived at Xizhou City, Lingyou's nearly 200,000 troops were still in good spirits, and there was no lack of people and horses.

The 170,000 Tubo iron cavalry under the city did not rush to set up camp, but suppressed Liangzhou City with coercion. Between the two armies, the invisible silent confrontation made the surrounding air permeate a tense atmosphere that made people unable to breathe.

Lingyou, who was standing across a horse with a long sword in his hand, wearing silver armor, had a grim face and was as deep as the sea.

If the eldest brother was not in Xizhou City, Anxi Bing only won last time, and the sky would not be able to stop his determination to take Xizhou and pacify the Western Regions in one fell swoop. For this unique place in front of him, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack with the trend of flying dragons, Lingyou has to admit that the best tactic is the technique of besieging the city. Today's Xizhou City is a lonely city that can't wait for foreign aid, as long as the siege is half a year, it is enough to collapse without attacking.

What if the eldest brother is in the city?

Thinking of this, Ling You, who is the commander of the 170,000 army, looks calm on the surface, but his heart is rotten like a ball. There are countless eyes staring at him in the Tubo royal court behind him, and recently there is more internal news in the royal court, and after a few days, the master of the Daluo Palace, Grand Master Nadro, will be in person.

Ling You couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, Wang Ting sent his master Nadro to come over in person, and the intention of his beating was self-evident.
