Su Qi'an's arrogance was vividly reflected at this moment, looking at the back of the long away, the stunned deputy general behind Saktu came back to his senses.

With anger on his face, he said hatefully, "Alliance leader, this surnamed Su is too arrogant, although we lost this battle in a sneak attack, but it did not hurt the foundation, so there is no one in his eyes, I think he has no intention of peace talks at all, it is a naked provocation, and he doesn't take us seriously." ”

"That is, although I am weak, it is definitely not something that anyone can bully at will, the alliance leader ordered, as long as you give an order, the last general will leave the surname Su behind whatever he says!"

"That's right, Alliance Leader, give the order!"

After a while, several lieutenant generals behind them were filled with righteous indignation, and they had a lot of intentions, as they said, they did lose this battle, but the other party did not take much advantage, and it was a reluctant draw.

And he didn't hurt the foundation, this surnamed Su was so arrogant before leaving, completely treating them as subordinates, without any polite respect.

A small overseer dares to do this, and any official in Daliang will not be so unscrupulous when he arrives here in the future, how can he lead the countries of the Western Regions and how to serve the people.

The lieutenant general's righteous indignation was filled with indignation, Saktu was very calm, looked at the back of Su Qi'an leaving, and said softly.

"Well, according to what you mean, the leader of this alliance gave an order, and you were desperate to take down Su Qi'an, and then what?"

"Do you have the courage to kill him, or can you take this opportunity to force the Ganzhou soldiers to be jealous, dare not move, and choose to surrender! Or can you take Ganzhou? ”

Saktu seemed to be asking, but there was quite a coldness in his voice, which made the deputy generals behind him a little dazed.

But they quickly reacted, and they all knelt on the ground, and they all spoke in unison, "It's the end that I was carried away by emotions, and I didn't think so much about it when I was excited, and I asked the alliance leader to forgive me." ”

The deputy general behind him suddenly pleaded guilty, Saktu nodded slightly, put his palm on the sand table in front of him, and said softly.

"Now that I know that if I take it, I can't change the status quo, so don't mention this stupid thing of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred."

"This negotiation, in the final analysis, is that the leader of the alliance underestimates Su Qi'an too much, his boldness is beyond the imagination of the leader of the alliance, although it embarrasses the leader of the alliance, but this intelligence is really good, this time he lost, but it did not hurt the foundation, and there is a chance to deal with this Su Overseer well."

"Before the next negotiation, everything will be done according to Su Qi'an's wishes, order the whole army to return immediately, remember, as long as the countries of the Western Regions are still in our hands, it will not be considered a loss, and we will have a chance to turn the tables."

"Subordinates are taught." All the lieutenants nodded with their fists clenched.

At the same time, the Hui evil army and the Western Regions coalition army, under the order of Saktu, also began to retreat and retreat in the direction of the border.

The result of the negotiations is the same as expected, there is no result, the two sides will withdraw their troops for the time being, and as for whether to fight or continue to talk, it depends on how the other side chooses.

Taking advantage of this juncture, Su Qi'an and Wang Zhenshan did not return to the capital to protect the city, but returned to the nearest military town to the border, Tiannan.

After returning to Tiannan, the two immediately jointly issued the first order, so that the deputy general of the Seventh Army Town of Ganzhou, together with the capital protection city, and the ten subordinate military fortress masters, rushed to Tiannan City as soon as possible.

The tens of thousands of returning troops, under the command of Xie Cang, Chen Dao, Song Biao, and Er Meng, were stationed along the military fort near Tiannan Military Town.

The reason for this is very simple, the war between the countries of the Western Regions did not end because of this fruitless negotiation, but instead entered a new round of stalemate.

If the withdrawn army really feels that it can sit back and relax if it sees through the other party's ambush and forces the other side to withdraw its troops, it is the real big mistake.

The 40,000 army led by Xie Cang, Lianke the Eight Kingdoms of the Western Regions, suffered few casualties, only about 1,000 people, and basically did not hurt their muscles and bones, and similarly, the 40,000 evil army that stormed the capital to protect the city suffered at most about 7,000 casualties.

Coupled with the more than 30,000 coalition troops formed with the Saktu operation, the total strength of the entire Western Regions coalition army has reached as much as 60,000, not including the remnants of the Western Regions countries left behind.

It can be said that in terms of troops, Saktu's army still has strong combat effectiveness and a large number of troops, but this time it did not succeed, mainly because of Su Qi'an's advance prediction and bold forward.

After letting Saktu weigh the pros and cons, he was finally forced to give up the choice to withdraw the army, and if Xie Cang did not lead the army forward, the capital was likely to be taken.

Moreover, in this Ganzhou support, many problems were exposed, and the untimely support of reinforcements was the biggest problem.

According to Zhao Shenlai's report, from the large-scale attack of the Hui evil to the final withdrawal of the army, there were less than four or five reinforcements from seven military towns and ten military forts.

The remaining nearly seventy percent or so were all delayed due to various reasons.

If it weren't for Zhao Shen, the brave and unafraid of death, and with the help of the layers of defense in the inner city of the capital, if it were changed to other military towns, it was likely that it would really be taken under the strong attack of tens of thousands of evil forces.

If it is the first time they have encountered this situation, the first time they have just entered the battlefield, and they don't know the road, Su Qi'an may still be able to understand.

However, Ganzhou's stability for so many years has not been stable and stable, but has been accumulated through many small-scale battles.

These military towns and military forts are still very experienced in mobilizing support at any time, and there is absolutely no panic or delay for various reasons.

Some military towns are far away, like Tiannan, and the rescue is not timely, and Su Qi'an can also understand, but the ten military forts near the capital moat are the closest, even if it is the farthest military fort, it will not take more than half an hour to support the capital moat.

However, only two of the ten military forts can be successfully supported, which is a big problem no matter how you look at it.

As Saktu said, it is difficult to buy the lieutenant general, but it is still easy to buy the lord of the military fort.

Maybe there is confusion and even provocation in this sentence, but how to say it, this support is unfavorable, which is enough to see the problems exposed within Ganzhou.

In any case, this matter is the first thing to be resolved, and if this matter is not resolved, there will be a big problem with war or talks.

Therefore, as soon as the peace talks broke down, Su Qi'an and Wang Zhenshan returned to Tiannan, and the first thing they did was to rectify the internal generals and military fort owners in Ganzhou.

If Saktu wants to carry out a surprise attack at this time, or even wants to fight, Su Qi'an will also accompany him, with several important military forts around Tiannan, and tens of thousands of Xie Cang's troops stationed, they are not vegetarians.

did not return to the capital as soon as possible, but rushed to the front line and deployed the army to the border, in order to give Saktu on the other side of the border a deterrent.

With Saktu's wisdom, seeing such a move, he will definitely think of what Su Qi'an wants to do, and what he will do in the future, as long as Saktu knows enough, he will know how to arrange it.

Sure enough, after Su Qi'an returned to Tiannan, tens of thousands of troops were stationed in several nearby military forts, and it took a few days to put on a posture of wanting to do a big job at any time.

After ordering the army to withdraw from the border, the Western Regions coalition army did not all retreat to the countries of the Western Regions, and the same Chen soldiers near the border, lined up, the two sides confronted each other, and there was a posture that the enemy did not move, and I did not move.

Saktu's hand, Su Qi'an didn't say anything, just let Xie Cang continue to maintain the confrontation.

Now that neither side dares to take the initiative to provoke, Su Qi'an returned to Ganzhou to rectify the internal situation, and similarly, at this time, Saktu was mostly dealing with the complaints of other lords.

After all, Xie Cang led a large army and almost penetrated the countries of the Western Regions, although it did not cause too many casualties, but the shock was indeed not small.

The countries of the Western Regions have been in common for a hundred years, and it is almost unheard of for them to be invaded by enemy forces like today, and even several countries have been almost penetrated.

This is no longer a so-called provocation, but a great shame, Saktu is the lord of the alliance of all countries, such a thing, it is impossible to rely on his words, he can hide from it, nor can he rely on his personal prestige to suppress it, although the evil is strong, but not with one country, it can fight against the other fifteen countries.

If you really have that ability, Saktu doesn't need to be the master of the alliance, but dominates the Western Regions.

If this matter is not handled well, it is likely to cause internal turmoil, and in serious cases, the coalition forces may be disbanded, which Saktu absolutely does not want to see, so the current pacification of these lords is the most important thing in front of Saktu.

Whether it is Su Qi'an or Saktu, the two of them have the most important matters to deal with in front of them, as for the Chen Bing border, the confrontation between the two sides is just a means of a slight compromise, and it seems that it cannot be fought for the time being.

Tiannan City.

With the delivery of the order, in less than three days, the deputy generals of the seven military towns, the lords of the ten military forts, and Zhao Shen, a total of eighteen people arrived.

A huge house, with a large number of people, everyone sits on both sides, one left and one right, naturally Su Qi'an and Wang Zhenshan.

In the middle below, Zhao Shen clenched his fists, and told all the causes and consequences of this battle to defend the city, word by word, and retreated to the side.

At this time, the atmosphere in the room was a little tense, and Wang Zhenshan, who was sitting on the right, said softly.

"The capital protection city sent a request for help, and in the end there were only four ways to reach the capital protection city, and Ben Du Hu would like to hear the reason why the other thirteen reinforcements did not arrive on time."

Wang Zhenshan's voice was very soft, as if he was asking, but everyone could hear the coldness in his voice.

Before the time limit has expired, this is a very serious matter in wartime, and if you miss the time, you can be punished.

Not long after Wang Zhenshan's voice fell, soon a strong man on the left, wearing armor similar to Zhao Shen, got up and hugged his fist.

"Back to the capital, this rescue, on the way our army encountered sand and dust, which delayed the rescue, but the subordinates did not shirk, the delay in time is the end of the general's wrong, the end of the general is willing to be punished, but also ask the capital protection, the overseer can raise your noble hand, let go of the other brothers, the end of the general is willing to bear it."
