"What Lord Sun Bao said is, then we'll see you in seven days." Li Zhong's heart relaxed slightly, and then the two of them clasped their fists and saluted, turned around and left.

The seventeen generals were settled, and for the next seven days, they were not idle all the time, but were summoned by Su Qi'an alone from time to time.

After a maximum of two quarters of an hour or so of each conversation, he was put back and then returned to his room.

At first, this kind of summoning made some generals' eyes flash and some thoughts in their hearts, but this kind of summoning was not just a few, but all of them.

Even if you have an idea, looking at this scene, it is not easy to guess, this kind of solitary summoning lasted for two or three days, and in the next few days, I let it go.

It's like forgetting them, some people were a little anxious at first, but as time passed, looking at the calm of the outside world, it seemed to be as Sun Liang said, and they didn't find anything, just wait for the seven days to pass, they can leave on their own, thinking of this, the anxiety in their hearts gradually dissipated.

The seventeen generals lived in Tiannan City with peace of mind, but the outside world did not seem so calm.

Since Saktu blew up the tunnels of Xujiaji, more than 30 trade markets on the border of Ganzhou, under the leadership of Xie Cang and Chen Zhi, began to investigate one by one, and they did not let go of any traces of meticulousness.

The actions of the Ganzhou side, and the Western Regions Coalition Army on the other side of the Chen Bing border, also took action.

It is also necessary to send troops together to hold on not far from the vicinity, and in order to maintain border security and prevent the other side from sneaking attacks, it is necessary to implement monitoring.

The Western Regions Alliance Army acted like this, Su Qi'an had already given an order to Xie Cang and Chen Zhi, regardless of how the opposite side was monitored, let them go, but once they crossed the line or provoked, they didn't need to be polite, just hit back.

Su Qi'an's order was still very timely, and in the first few days when the market tunnels were searched, the Western Regions Coalition Army directly launched a provocation.

Without the slightest politeness, he directly attacked the provocative coalition forces, and a battle broke out between the two sides immediately.

The scale of this kind of battle is not large, and the other side also seems to have received an order in advance, and the scale of the conflict that broke out between the two sides is only a hundred people at most, and most of them are a dozen or dozens of people.

Looking at the other party's appearance, it is a deliberate provocation, this kind of provocation and friction, Xie Cang and Chen Zhi are not the slightest soft, and one word is to do it.

In the space of two or three days, there were more than 10 clashes between the two sides, and among the more than 10 skirmishes, Xie Cang basically won more and lost less.

Perhaps because they had learned some lessons, the Western Regions Coalition Army, which took the initiative to provoke, was much more secure in the back, but it was still not far from the vicinity to monitor.

Xie Cang didn't care about this kind of surveillance at all, and according to Su Qi'an's orders, he went with them, while his soldiers investigated them one by one.

Since the last negotiation broke down, in order to plug the gap of Su Qi'an's sneak attack last time, Saktu ordered people to set up many checkpoints on the border, some important commanding heights, and set up military posts.

In just a few days, the long border of Ganzhou has at least thirty or forty more checkpoints of various types than before.

Su Qi'an ignored Saktu's actions, they set theirs and explored their own, and they did not conflict with each other.

With both sides holding on to their own agendas, the tension at the border has eased somewhat.

The Western Regions and the capital of the evil country.

In a splendid castle, the eyes are full of people, the first one above, Saktu sits in it, and on the left and right sides below, there is a middle-aged man with an obese body, he is dressed in gorgeous satin clothes, and his fat hands are brightly carrying three precious stone rings, and he looks rich.

On the other side, there sat a man and a woman, the woman was not very old, less than thirty, gorgeously dressed, her long hair was wrapped in a purple turban, and her face was covered with a purple veil, although she could not see clearly, but she exuded a noble temperament that was different from others.

Next to her was a young boy about four or five years old, leaning closely against the young woman, looking at the crowd around her, with some fear on her face.

These two people are none other than Mu Tuoer, the lord of the Great Branch of the Western Regions Alliance, who is second only to Saktu in status, and Su Fengwu, the mother of Yuezhao Kingdom, and her son.

And the rest of the people below are also very noble, and they are all the thirteen lords of the other Western Regions.

Being able to "invite" all the sixteen lords back to the evil capital can also see Saktu's ability.

It's just that this invitation can feel the gloom of the atmosphere in the castle.

This invitation is not as high-spirited as Saktu sat on the Western Regions Alliance Leader before, but to give an explanation to other lords.

Negotiating with the Ganzhou overseers and Du Hu in Xujiaji, there was a fire in the rear, and the army that came out of nowhere almost broke through the countries of the Western Regions.

The property was not lost much, but it was very frightened.

It has been at least a hundred years since the countries of the Western Regions established an alliance, and when they have suffered such a surprise attack, if it were not for Saktu's timely reinforcements, the sixteen countries would have to be pierced.

Although everyone was silent, Saktu could feel the anger of everyone.

As the leader of the alliance, there are some things that you have to be like these lords when necessary, and temporarily give in to the explanation.

Seeing the silence of everyone, Saktu adjusted his state, smiled on his face, and spoke.

"I know that this raid by the Ganzhou soldiers has frightened the lords, and this matter is the inconsiderate consideration of the leaders of this alliance, and I apologize to the lords."

"But I hope you can understand the painstaking efforts of the leader of this alliance, my Western Regions Alliance has been suppressed by Da Liang for so many years, if it weren't for the other party's persecution too hard, the leader of this alliance would not be willing to be an enemy of Da Liang."

"The last raid was a mistake by the leader of this alliance, I promise you that there will be no next time, and please trust the leader of this alliance once, this account will definitely be able to be recovered from Da Liang."

If the first half of the sentence represents the meaning of Saktu's softness, but how can the second half of the sentence give people the impression that this battle has just begun, and there is no meaning of ending, and there is also the idea of continuing to expand the scale.

This shocked many lords, and a few couldn't help but ask.

"Dare to ask the alliance leader, do you really have to fight with Da Liang endlessly before you are willing to wave your hand?"

Saktu smiled, waved his hand and said, "Hehe, it's not enough to keep dying, just let Da Liang back down, don't say anything else, at least cede Ganzhou, and this matter will end here." ”

Saktu was talking about a light, audible many-eyed man with wide eyes and shocked expressions on his faces.

Cession of Ganzhou? Where is this retreat, this is no different from not dying.

Although Da Liang is declining, in the eyes of the Alliance of Nations, he is still a behemoth, with their strength, how can they make Da Liang retreat so much.

They are not the Northern Darong, they can occupy the two states of Daliangqing and Youyou for a hundred years, if they really have such a strong combat power, after so many years, it is impossible to be controlled to death by the two states in the northwest of Daliang.

That is, Saktu dared to think so, if it were someone else, they would definitely think that this person was a madman.

And the most important thing is that among the many lords of the country, the mother of the Yuezhao country has been listening.

Who is the Mother of the Moon? That's the third princess of the royal family of Da Liang.

Although she has been married to the Western Regions for more than ten years, Saktu is so outspoken, the third princess may not be able to sit still.

Speaking of this third princess of Da Liang, it is not as simple as it seems, and she is also a great character.

The harmony of the year was not the Great Liang Commission, but the Lord of Yuezhao asked for many years of hard work, so that the Great Liang Emperor sent the three princesses and the pro-Western Regions.

The reason why he is willing to make peace is mainly because of the influence of the lord of Yuezhao in the Western Regions, before the rise of Saktu, Yuezhao has always been the same in the Western Regions.

The lord of Yuezhao was also the leader of the Western Regions Alliance at that time, and under his administration, the relationship between the Western Regions and Daliang was very harmonious.

The two sides not only opened the border trade, and even the civilians on both sides, but also interconnected marriages, at that time, many people from the Western Regions through the open border, through Ganzhou into the territory of Daliang to do business, that period, is the most harmonious relationship between the two sides.

The third princess was sent to marry far away in the Western Regions, also to consolidate the stability of the northwest border of Daliang.

It's a pity that there are unforeseen circumstances, and later Saktu rose, unified and returned to evil, silently accumulated strength, forbearance, and waited for the lord of Yuezhao to be seriously ill, and then raided in one fell swoop, captured the capital of Yuezhao, and forced the other party to abdicate with strong threats, and he sat in the position of the leader of the alliance.

And the lord of Yuezhao himself was seriously ill, and he was so angry that he died of illness in less than a month.

They actually wanted to rebel against Saktu, but Saktu's strength was too strong, and the entire Western Regions Alliance, the Hui Evil Army accounted for half, and whoever resisted would only die.

Under this trend of force, Saktu took control of the Western Regions in less than a year.

According to the momentum of Saktu's rise at that time, he captured the capital of Yuezhao, designated not to give the other party a chance to rise again, and tried to destroy Yuezhao as well.

At the critical moment, the third princess of Da Liang, at some point, had contact with the lord of the big branch, and the big branch country quickly sent troops to support.

Among the sixteen countries of the Western Regions, the strongest ones are Hui Evil, Yuezhao, and Dazhi.

Even if the Hui evil forces account for half of the coalition forces, it is basically very difficult to eat Yue Zhao in one go in the face of the combination of the big branch and Yue Zhao.

At that time, the third princess of Da Liang, facing Saktu who broke into Yuezhao's palace, was called a fearless face, and scolded Saktu at her.

From his beginning, to the dispatch of troops, and the final raid, what he said was justified and well-founded, and even Saktu couldn't say anything if he wanted to refute it.

Facing Su Fengwu, who was fearless, in that case, Saktu didn't dare to kill her by force.

After all, the Alliance of the Sixteen Nations of the Western Regions has a history of 100 years, and what it adheres to is not to interfere with each other's internal affairs, even if there is a contradiction between the two sides and they want to kill the other party's lord, then they must have a fair and honest reason, no matter how bad it is, it is okay to sneak around and not let others seize the handle.

In that case, even if Saktu wanted to kill Su Fengwu, he would not be carried away by emotions.

Not to mention that Yue Zhao has the strength to fight, plus the large branch that came to help, if he really killed Su Fengwu with one sword, he doesn't know if Da Liang's side reacted.

He was sure that the other lords would not hesitate to turn against him directly.
