Saktu's sudden peace talks made Su Qi'an a little confused, and when he came, he got intelligence analysis that Saktu gathered tens of thousands of troops to Chen Bing's border, during which several skirmishes broke out.

The two sides have been facing each other for more than a month or so, and it is somewhat strange that they want to negotiate peace because of this war in which thousands of people have been killed or wounded.

Su Qi'an's confusion could be seen by the lord of Wushibao on the side, and he opened his mouth to explain.

"Lord Overseer doesn't have to be like this, these small countries in the Western Regions have elected alliance leaders, but their strength is not strong at all, even if a unified internal figure like Saktu emerges from the Hui Evil, it is not enough to invade Daliang."

"Thousands of casualties in the last battle are beyond the reach of the countries of the Western Regions Alliance, since Saktu is willing to negotiate peace, I think the war in the Western Regions should be calmed down soon."

"If it goes well, it shouldn't be long before Lord Overseer can return to Beijing to resume his life."

The words of the lord of Ushburg are filled with a strong self-confidence, which is not arrogant, but a manifestation of strength.

The alliance of the sixteen countries of the Western Regions looks terrifying, but under the leadership of Wang Zhenshan, there are the most elite cavalry troops in Daliang, and they can still be restrained against these small alliance countries.

Otherwise, after so many years, the main reason why the countries of the Western Regions have been unable to invade Ganzhou is the terrifying strength of the Daliang cavalry.

In the face of the long-distance attack of the heavy cavalry, the countries of the Western Regions could not withstand it at all, if it were not for the fact that it was too expensive to support the cavalry, and because the Western Regions were far away, the land was vast and sparsely populated, and the supply lines were too long, otherwise, with the strength of the Daliang cavalry, all the troops would be wiped out.

This time gave Saktu Chen the opportunity to the border, mainly because Saktu was too cunning, and after unifying the Hui evil, he did not show any ambition, and was still loyal to maintain the policy of the Western Regions Alliance to show goodwill to Daliang.

This kind of forbearance lasted for about a year, until the lord of Yuezhao Kingdom died, and took advantage of his unpreparedness to cooperate with the outside world, and led the army to raid and capture the capital of Yuezhao Kingdom, and controlled Yuezhao as quickly as possible.

In addition, with the support of Northern Daiei, he quickly controlled the alliance of various countries, sat in the position of the leader of the alliance, and then quickly sent troops to launch an invasion.

Whether it is speed or development, it is so fast that people can't react, if it weren't for Wang Zhenshan's timely deployment of troops, the two sides fought several battles on the border to curb Saktu's arrogance.

But if it is a little later, I am afraid that there will be turmoil in Ganzhou, Wang Zhenshan has been the capital protector for so many years, but it is not in vain.

He knew too well how to deal with the countries of the Western Regions, and under his arrangement, the originally somewhat tense situation finally made Saktu willing to negotiate peace.

Looking at the face of the lord of Wushibao, he could feel his admiration and admiration for Wang Zhenshan.

Indeed, even the imperial court recognized Wang Zhenshan as the pillar of Daliang and the backbone of the two states in the northwest.

Listening to the explanation of the lord of Wushburg, Su Qi'an nodded and said softly, "Then I will borrow the good words of the lord of the castle, I hope that the overseer will be smoother this time." ”

Su Qi'an and Xie Cang stepped into the border of Ganzhou, and within two days of coming to Wushibao, the generals who received them from the Duhufu arrived.

The person who came was about thirty years old, burly, with a thick appearance, a beard, no need to speak, and a strong military atmosphere on his body, and he knew at a glance that he was a general stationed in the frontier all year round.

This person's name is Zhao Shen, one of the eight deputy generals in Ganzhou, who stays in the capital all the year round, and is Wang Zhenshan's confidant and favorite general.

Being able to send this person to meet him is enough to see the importance of this greeting.

Walking into the military fort, Zhao Shen's eyes fell on Su Qi'an, and he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and then spoke.

"Presumably this is Lord Overseer, the prestige of Lord Overseer, I know it as far away as Ganzhou, and it is indeed a young talent, I will admire it."

"By the way, Lord Tsugoo asked me to see you and take him to say hello to you, because I want to prepare for peace talks, and I can't greet you in person, so I hope you don't blame you."

Su Qi'an waved his hand and said, "Vice General Zhao's words are polite, how dare this overseer be blamed, I still know the character of the Lord Protector." ”

"Now that Vice General Zhao has arrived, let's leave quickly."

Zhao Shen nodded and said, "Lord Overseer, please, if we return sooner, maybe we can meet Lord Protector." ”

Su Qi'an did not stop at the military fort, said goodbye to the lord of Wushibao, and then turned over and got on the horse, followed by Xie Cang, Tong Zhan, Chen Dao, Song Biao, Er Meng and other generals.

As for Su Yong and his first division, they had already left yesterday to return to Jiaozhou.

When saying goodbye, everyone could see Su Yong's reluctance, in terms of years, he was second only to Tong Zhan, and he followed Su Qi'an's henchman for the longest time.

In the past few years, in the southern and northern wars, Su Qi'an has always been by his side when he encounters danger, and now he has also been transferred, and the "An" team is not there, and the only one who remains by Su Qi'an's side is the direct team led by Tong Zhan.

The strength of the direct team is okay, but if it encounters the assassination of some kind of top master, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the direct team to react, which is what Su Yong is most worried about.

Although Su Qi'an kept telling him that it didn't matter, reassuring him, Su Yong still couldn't help but have some worries in his heart.

After following his side for so many years, and now he is talking about leaving, Su Yong is somewhat unaccustomed to it, of course, he understands that Su Qi'an transferred him back to Jiaozhou, which is also for him and the first division.

In addition to sitting in Jiaozhou for him, he also gave time to slowly recover his cultivation.

In the past few years, following Su Qi'an to fight in the south and the north, Su Yong's body is full of scars, and several times he escaped death, although he recovered, Su Qi'an knew that external injuries were easy to recover, but internal injuries took a long time.

So this time I went to Ganzhou, just to take the opportunity to let Su Yong and the first division return to Jiaozhou to recuperate, all for the sake of being in a better state in the future, doing things for Su Qi'an.

It was this sentence that made Su Yong choose to return, and on the way to say goodbye, Su Yong told Tong Zhan, Chen Dao, Song Biao, Er Meng and others more than once.

"You must protect Mr. well, if something happens to Mr., one of you will count one, and you will not be able to escape, so I will definitely settle accounts with you."

The solemnity on Su Yong's face, Tong Zhan and Chen Zhi assured again and again that under the eyes of everyone, Su Yong led the first division and gradually disappeared into the vast yellow sand.

After joining Zhao Shen, with an order, the army marched and headed towards the Duhu Mansion, which was about 200 miles away from the Duhu Mansion.

According to the normal time, it will take about four or five days, but this time, in order to return to the capital as soon as possible, Su Qi'an plans to reduce the rest time by half, and if the speed is fast, he can arrive in two days at most.

No wonder Su Qi'an gave such an order, after seeing Zhao Shen, from his mouth, Su Qi'an basically understood all the current situation in Ganzhou.

Although Zhao Shen tried his best to explain that there should be no problem with this peace talks, Su Qi'an always felt that something was wrong? I can't say it for a while, it's a battlefield intuition.

Of course, this kind of battlefield intuition is not all right, and sometimes there is a possibility of guessing wrong, but I would rather hold the possibility of a mistake, Su Qi'an must arrive at the Duhu Mansion quickly and meet Wang Zhenshan in person.

Only when he saw Wang Zhenshan could he continue to arrange his next move.

The army ran almost day and night, and although the soldiers of the army were tired, none of them were left behind, and none of them opened their mouths to complain, they all endured in silence and kept hurrying.

Zhao Shen didn't say anything about the actions of the more than 30,000 troops on the surface, but he admired it in his heart.

No one knows better than him how bitter the territory of Ganzhou is and how harsh the environment is, and the reason why the armies of the two northwestern states have such strong combat effectiveness is that in addition to having the best war horses, the main reason is their tenacious will.

This kind of will can save one's life on the battlefield, whoever can survive until the last moment will be able to survive from the battlefield, and the surviving veterans, how strong their combat effectiveness is, no one needs to introduce them, everyone knows.

This is also why the two northwestern states can resist the invasion of the Western Regions countries and the Darong Iron Cavalry with only 60,000 troops.

More than half of the 60,000 troops in these two states are veterans who have experienced iron-blooded battlefield battles, and they are the real elite of Da Liang.

This kind of fast horse and rapid march is commonplace for the armies of the two northwestern states, but for the soldiers of the other states, it is not so simple.

As one of the eight deputy generals, Zhao Shen has naturally seen the strength of other state soldiers, not to mention pulling his hips, but it is not bad, but only the two armies in front of him have opened his eyes.

To be able to endure in silence during a long and rapid march without a single commotion, and the 30,000-strong army, like a whole, is the real army.

For this rumored Baishou Marquis, the last bit of contempt in Zhao Shen's heart completely disappeared, and was replaced by admiration.

Not to mention anything else, it is quite good to be able to train tens of thousands of state soldiers like this.

"It seems that the rumors are not false, and they all value this person, and now I can understand it." Watching the mighty army pass in front of him, Zhao Shen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Vice General Zhao, what are you stunned about, hurry up, wait until you get to the Duhu Mansion, and have time to talk about it again."

"Well, do everything according to the orders of the Overseer."

Zhao Shen came back to his senses, greeted him, and quickly followed on horseback.

In this kind of rapid march day and night, as expected, the journey of four or five days was cut short by two and a half days before reaching the capital palace.

What appeared in front of Su Qi'an was more appropriate to be called a military city than a military city.

A huge city is located in front, the height of the light city wall, at least 20 zhang, the whole city wall has the earthy yellow stone bricks to build, from a distance, a majestic, heavy, vicissitudes of life sense come to the face.

As I got closer, I could see the surface of the tall city wall, and there were countless traces and potholes of different shades, which looked like they were some years old.

Above the city gate in the middle, the three big characters of the capital protection mansion are very eye-catching, and around the city tower, there are rows of patrolling soldiers, their eyes are sharp, even if they already know Su Qi'an's identity, the vigilance on their bodies has not relaxed for half a minute.
