The man saw that the brush that he had lifted was not falling for a long time, and the whole person became a little more anxious. It seems that he cares more about Xizhou than the city lord of Xizhou.

The reason is simple, he is Zhang Qi, the commander of the 8,000 soldiers in Xizhou City. He is also the most powerful person in the entire Xizhou City except for Su Wuxuan, and the most important thing is that Zhang Qi is from the Gaochang clan and is from the same door as Zhang Huan, the current garrison general of Gaochang.

If it is placed in the past, Zhang Qi is not a person who can't hold his breath. But now the situation is different, once the Tang army arrives, he will take his subordinates and the Tang army desperately.

So he certainly has reason to be anxious now. Suo Wubao groaned for a while, and finally began to put pen to paper on the paper, and a letter of urgent request for help from Xizhou was in the hands of Suo Wubai, but the tea was completed in one go.

The words on the paper are the Chinese characters of the Tang Dynasty, and its calligraphy is quite a bit of Wang Youjun's roundness, which shows that this Wu Wu is also a person who loves words.

"General Zhang, please send someone to report to the royal capital quickly, and ask the lord of the country to send troops to rescue him as soon as possible, otherwise, Xizhou will be in danger." After writing the document and stamping his official seal, he handed the document for help to Zhang Yu and instructed.

"Yes, my subordinates will do it......" Zhang Qi saw that Su Wuxuan had finally written a request for help, and his face couldn't help but show a hint of joy.

After receiving the paperwork, he didn't even salute to Suo Wude, so he hurriedly left with the letter asking for help.

Seeing Zhang Qian leaving, he closed his eyes and muttered for a while, and suddenly said, "Someone is coming." Several of Suo Wuhao's henchmen heard the words and appeared in front of Suo Wuhui's eyes, but they heard Suo Wubao lower his voice and said: "Go and transfer the wealth in the mansion first, and then send two people to contact the Tang Army, if we are willing to surrender without a fight, is His Majesty the Heavenly Khan willing to give us preferential treatment......" After whispering for a while, Suo Wubao issued more than a dozen orders in a row, and his henchmen were ready to disperse.

"By the way, General Zhang Yu doesn't need to talk to him." At the end, Su Wubao seemed to remember something, and commanded a few henchmen.

In Xizhou City, there are not a few big families who make the same decision as Su Wude. Except for those ordinary people who still don't know about it, they should do business as usual, do business, and live well.

Most of the well-informed families in Xizhou City have already made corresponding plans. For most people in the Western Regions, changing a master is almost the same as changing a piece of clothing, and treachery is normal.

So, since you can't stop the Tang Army, why not throw yourself into the arms of the Tang Army? Anyway, as long as it doesn't affect my profits and exploit serfs, as long as it can ensure that I am still at the top of the food chain, they don't care who is the lord of Xizhou City.

………… Two hundred and sixty miles east of Xizhou City, there is a small oasis composed of poplar forests. Unfortunately, this oasis is too small to produce enough fresh water for 5,000 people.

Only a small trickle emerges from the root of a poplar tree, and it takes half a day to fill a bowl. A middle-aged scribe-like man was standing under a poplar tree, holding a silver jug in his hand under the trickle.

After a while, the silver kettle was filled with a trickle, and the middle-aged scribe picked up the silver kettle, waited for the water in the pot to settle down a little dust, and drank it all.

The middle-aged scribe was Xu Jingzong, who was about to serve as the assassin of Xizhou. Just when Xu Jingzong was enjoying the rare sweetness in this desert, a rough voice sounded in his ears.

"Xu Tingshi, one day's journey will be to Xizhou, and the banditry industry along the way has also been wiped out by our army. According to the last general, it is the best policy for us to directly take Xizhou City as quickly as possible. With the supply of materials in Xizhou City, the soldiers can wait for a while to deal with the counterattack of the countries in the Western Regions. I don't know what Xu Tingshi meant by ordering to camp here, isn't it because the sons and daughters under the command of the last general are not hard enough? And in the entire team, the only one who dared to talk to Xu Jingzong like this was the commander of the five thousand people, Jiang Gan, the commander.

Jiang Gan's words were very polite, but Xu Jingzong did not show any displeasure on his face when he heard this.

It's just that an imperceptible hint of yin owl flashed in his eyes, and then it was quietly hidden. Jiang Gan naturally didn't see the yin owl flashing in Xu Jingzong's eyes, and he only wanted this Lord Thorn Shi to give him a reasonable explanation now.

Obviously, he can take Xizhou in one go, why do you have to do such a self-defeating thing as camping on the spot when you are close to Xizhou.

"General Jiang is not in a hurry, this official does this, naturally there is a reason for this official, and by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, the general will know why." Xu Jingzong tried his best to keep a smile and explained to Jiang Gan.

But Jiang Gan obviously didn't buy it, and there was a touch of contempt in his eyes, which made Xu Jingzong's displeasure even stronger.

For Xu Jingzong, Jiang Gan is just a rising star, but now this rising star is looking at him with this kind of eyes, of course he is not happy.

How to say that he is also one of the eighteen scholars of the Qin Palace, and he is an old courtier who has made great contributions to His Majesty when he was still in the palace.

Now he has been reduced to the point of being in the company of such a brainless reckless, even if he is in company, this reckless man even has some meaning of looking down on himself, he really doesn't know how to write dead words.

In an instant, Xu Jingzong had already sentenced the person in front of him to death. With his means, if he wants to calculate a Commander of the Folding, it is just a matter of being able to catch it.

It's just that this person is still useful at the moment, so let him live for two more days for the time being. Jiang Gan looked down on Xu Jingzong, and naturally Jiang Gan also had a reason.

Jiang Gan was born in a poor family, and he worked all the way in the army for ten years, and finally sat in the position of the lieutenant of Zhechong in the year of his establishment.

And this time, he was entrusted by His Majesty with the important task of navigating the Western Regions, so he naturally wanted to show it. In Jiang Gan's view, with a large army in hand, there is no place in the world to go, and just Xizhou City can be taken directly.

But I heard that Xu Jingzong, who only became this Xizhou assassin because he left, but he still had a lot of trouble.

It is also to clear the Silk Road, and it is to play some tricks. We will see tomorrow afternoon at the latest, can this Xizhou City be able to surrender without a fight tomorrow afternoon?

"Huh!" Jiang Gan sneered, but didn't say anything more, Xu Jingzong was still his nominal official after all.

is also to blame himself for his meritorious service at the beginning, and he actually believed his nonsense, and it is not the same as not driving out of the gate to Yumen Pass and set off first.

It wasn't until he entered the desert that Jiang Gan, who realized it later, realized that he was calculated by Xu Jingzong.
