Chapter 526: You Live or Die
Turkic barracks, Chinese military camp tents
The Turkic prince sat on the couch and drank alone, his brow furrowed, as if thinking about something.
At this time, he saw the old minister rushing in and said, "Prince, prince, it's not good, it's not good."
The Turkic prince was dissatisfied, "What's wrong?"
The old minister said cautiously: "According to the report of the sentinel, a large number of Great Zhou cavalry appeared in the desert north of Liangzhou City, estimated to be more than 150,000, and they marched very fast, and it is estimated that they will arrive at Liangzhou City at noon tomorrow."
The Turkic prince was surprised, "Great Zhou cavalry? 150,000?"
The old minister hurriedly said, "Weichen estimates that this group of cavalry is from Fengzhou."
The Tibetan prince was surprised, "From Fengzhou? The Fengzhou cavalry is only more than 300,000 at most, and they have transferred 150,000 at once, so isn't there no army to defend in the north? Moreover, how did they know that Liangzhou was besieged? And so fast?"
The old minister thought for a moment and hurriedly said, "Prince, now that their reinforcements are coming, what should we do? Do you want to join forces with Tubo to attack Liangzhou?"
The Turkic prince thought back and forth anxiously, and suddenly made up his mind: "Yes, and they must capture Liangzhou City as soon as possible, when will they arrive at the earliest?"
The old minister hurriedly said, "According to the official in charge of observing the weather, there will be a strong wind tonight, which may affect the speed of their march, so it is estimated that it will be past noon at the earliest."
The Turkic prince thought for a moment and nodded, "It's past noon...... Noon, huh...... We and Tubo combined, there are more than 600,000 troops, 600,000 to attack a mere Liangzhou City, one morning should be enough, you immediately send someone to inform Tubo, just say that the time has changed, attack an hour in advance, and attack as soon as dawn."
The old minister was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Then do you want to tell them about the reinforcements?"
The Turkic prince stopped: "No, tell them that they have some concerns, you just say that I changed the time for more surprise, after capturing Liangzhou, I will naturally tell them that when the time comes, we will unite and wait for work, and then defeat the 200,000 Fengzhou cavalry."
The old minister hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes, the old minister will send someone to inform them......" As soon as he walked to the door, he thought about it and walked back.
The Turkic prince wondered, "What's the matter?"
The old minister thought for a moment and said, "Prince, isn't it too risky for us to hide from the Khan and join forces with Tubo to attack Liangzhou? If it fails......
The Turkic prince said hatefully, "Failure? Do we have any options now? If you don't help Tubo, as soon as the Fengzhou cavalry arrives, the internal and external attacks will be combined, and Tubo will undoubtedly be defeated, and when the time comes, Tubo will poke out our affairs, what do you guess will happen to this prince...... However, if we help Tubo to win, Tubo will attack the Central Plains in one go, and will also support this prince to seize the throne of Khan, my father Khan is very old, as long as this prince persuades again, he will definitely support me to chase the Central Plains, and now there is no way out, we must help Tubo capture Liangzhou."
The old minister was taken aback, thought for a while, and hurriedly said, "What the prince said is that the old minister will send someone to the Tubo military camp." Bow down and withdraw.
The Turkic prince watched the old minister go out, sat down on the couch weakly, poured a glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, crushed the quilt at once, and said hatefully: "This time, either you die or I die."
In the afternoon, the desert north of Liangzhou City
Sister Xiu, Beauty, and General Zhao led the Fengzhou cavalry to march on the desert and hurried to Liangzhou.
Old General Zhao asked, "Deputy Marshal, how is the situation in Liangzhou?"
The beauty said: "There are more and more enemies besieging Liangzhou, there should be more than 500,000 now, and our men and horses in Liangzhou combined, there are only more than 200,000, and the food is not a problem now, as long as we rush to Liangzhou as soon as possible, and cooperate with the defenders inside, we will definitely be able to defeat them."
In the afternoon, the Tubo military camp outside Liangzhou City
The lord of Tibet, the eldest princess, and a Turkic envoy were discussing something.
The eldest princess nodded and said, "You go back and tell the prince that we agree to attack according to his time, so that he can prepare as soon as possible."
The messenger bowed and said, "Now go back and tell my prince."
The eldest princess nodded and said, "Well, go ahead."
The messenger bowed and said, "Farewell." As he spoke, he bowed and withdrew.
The lord of the kingdom watched the envoy withdraw, and wondered, "Why did this Turkic prince attack in advance?"
The eldest princess thought for a moment and said, "According to my daughter, this Turkic prince must be more anxious than us, so we will prepare as he wishes, and attack with all our strength tomorrow morning."
In the afternoon, the stone cave on the beach of the river in the west of Liangzhou City
The young girl held a few large leaves in her hand and wrapped some watery wild fruits from below to the stone cave, looking at the wild fruits in her hand, she couldn't help but be a little happy, and hurriedly accelerated her pace to the stone cave.
When I arrived at the entrance of the stone cave, I looked up and was about to shout Longji, but I saw that the cave was empty, and there was no shadow of Longji, so I was startled, and the fruit fell to the ground with a "pop", and I hurriedly shouted, "Longji, Longji......" and hurriedly went down to find it.
By the river, Longji sat on a rock, holding a stone in his hand, and threw it into the river...... Looking at the surging river, I couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and I couldn't help but think of the scene of fighting with the beauty to break out of the encirclement, and the beauty going to Fengzhou alone to ask for help......
After a while, Longji came back to his senses and worried, "I don't know what's going on...... I can't help but worry for a while.
At this time, I heard the voice of the young girl behind me shouting, "Longji, Longji?"
Longji turned around, but saw the young girl running anxiously from a distance.
Seeing Longji sitting on the edge of the rock from a distance, the young girl was overjoyed, and hurriedly ran over and said, "The wound on your body is not healed yet, why did you come out by yourself......
Longi joked, "Are you worried about me?"
The young girl was stunned for a moment, her face turned red, and she was embarrassed for a while, and Longji hurriedly said: "Don't mind, I'm talking about playing, I woke up just now, I saw that you weren't there, and I felt bored after waiting for a while, so I tried to slowly come out by myself and take a look, who knows, I'm really sorry to make you worry about it."
The young girl cared, "In the future, you won't come out by yourself, what if you encounter a fierce beast? If you want to come out, call me, and I will come out with you."
Longji was moved for a while, and hurriedly said, "Okay." He turned his head to look at the river and exclaimed, "Look, isn't this place pretty?"
The young girl looked around and wondered, "Good-looking?"
Longji said: "What I said is beautiful, not the scenery, but this place is very quiet and peaceful, unlike in Luoyang and Liangzhou, where there is no deceit and no killing, I really hope that one day, I can live in such a quiet and peaceful environment."
The young girl suddenly realized and sighed, "I also hope to live in such an environment, it is really quiet here."
Longji sighed and said, "It's a pity, many things will make people involuntarily, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, what can I do...... Alright, let's go back." ap.
The young girl hurriedly said, "Be careful, I'll help you." Hurriedly stepped forward to help Longi.
Longji said, "Thank you." As soon as he walked forward, he saw two green carp swimming slowly to feed on the shallows on the side, and he was stunned for a moment, and then he was happy and whispered, "Give me your hairpin."
The young girl wondered, "Hairpin?"
Longji said, "Look, we have fragrant fish to eat tonight."
The young girl looked at Longji's eyes and was shocked to see the two carps.
Longji urged, "Quick, bring it."
The young girl looked at the two carps and couldn't help but feel pity, hesitated and said, "I don't want to eat it."
Longji was stunned for a moment, and wondered, "Why?"
The young girl looked at the carp swimming in the water and said, "Do you look at them, do they look like a couple?"
Longji wondered, "A couple?"
The young girl nodded and said, "If we kill one of them and roast it to eat, I think the other one will be very sad, I don't want them to be sad, so let's let them go."
Longji was touched for a while, nodded and said, "Well, I understand what you mean...... Just now I was lamenting the killing in the world, but I didn't expect that killing fish is actually a kind of killing, Qingnu, you are so kind...... Okay, then let them continue to live happily, and let's ......" turned and walked towards the cave.
The green girl for a while
Happy, he looked at the carp in the water with envy, hurriedly followed Longji, helped Longji and said, "I picked some wild fruits and came back, they are delicious."
Longji was surprised, "No wonder you've been there for so long, it turns out that you're picking wild fruits, is it enough for us to eat at night?" I don't have any fish to eat, but my mouth is hungry."
The young girl hurriedly said, "I picked a lot, you definitely won't be able to finish it." The two of them walked towards the stone cave as they spoke......
After a while, the two walked to the entrance of the stone cave, but saw the fruit scattered on the ground, and Longji wondered, "Hey, what's wrong? Why are they all scattered on the ground? It's all dirty." As he spoke, he leaned over and picked it up.
The young girl hesitated and hurriedly said, "There must be a monkey or something, come here to make trouble while I'm not there." Hurriedly leaned over and picked it up.
Longji was puzzled for a while, thought for a while, and said carefully, "Is it that when you came back, you saw that I was not there, and you were worried that I had spilled the wild fruit on the ground, and you ran to me before you had time to pick it up?"
The young girl was startled, embarrassed for a while, and Longji was moved in his heart, and said softly, "You can't lie at all...... Thank you so much for taking care of me for the past few days...... Well, this wild fruit is really good, it's very watery, and it must be delicious to eat." As he spoke, he leaned over and picked up a wild fruit on the ground and took a bite.
The young girl was nervous for a while, and when she saw Longji pick up the wild fruit on the ground and eat it, she was startled, and hurriedly grabbed it and said, "Alas, wait a minute."
Longji was surprised, "What's wrong?"
The young girl said, "It's dirty, I'll take it and wash it."
Longji suddenly realized, and hurriedly said, "It's not dirty, how can it be dirty, you see how clean this is." And take it again.
The young girl was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly grabbed it again and said, "Wash and eat again."
Longji hurriedly said, "No need." Reaching out to take it, the green girl flashed, and her hand pressed on the green girl's hand.
The two looked at each other in surprise and surprise......
After a while, the two of them came back to their senses, and they both hurriedly let go, and the wild fruit fell to the ground and rolled to the side......
The two of them had a burning face, their hearts were pounding, and they hurriedly turned their heads......
After a while, the young girl finally broke the silence and hurriedly said, "I'll take it and wash it." I hurriedly picked up a few on the ground and hurried down.
Longji looked at the figure of the young girl, came back to his senses for a while, and was distressed in his heart, and slapped himself in the mouth with a loud "snap", and blamed himself, "What's wrong with me? How could there be such an idea? Aixue is still practicing, and the beauty went to Fengzhou alone to move the rescuers, and her life and death are uncertain, but I am here...... I, I'm not a human being, Li Longji, Li Longji, how can you be worthy of Aixue and beauty, you shouldn't have this kind of thought, you shouldn't ......" A burst of annoyance.
The young girl held a few wild fruits, ran quickly, and after a while, she ran to the river and stopped, put the wild fruits on the rocks by the river, squatted down, and splashed the water on her face......
After a while, he finally calmed down, covered his face and sat on the side of the rock, but he was confused for a while, and his mind couldn't help but recall the scene in the stone cave just now.
