Xu Youchang soon received a report from his subordinates that the 27th Battalion of the First Army, which was in charge of garrisoning Ulan City, had intercepted and captured a group of Turks.

Xu Youchang was stunned when he heard this.

Especially when he learned that the leader of the other party actually claimed to be Yalimu, the prime minister of the Turkic Empire, he felt even more inexplicable.

Xu Youchang knew that something was unusual, and hurriedly ordered someone to quickly notify the Intelligence Department, so that they could rush to Ulan to take over Yalimu, and at the same time urge the 27th Battalion to continue the pursuit and search for a few Turkic followers who escaped by chance.

Yalimu's retinue is also really lucky.

Some of them were in trouble because of the strength of their horses and feet on the way, some were uncomfortable because of physical illness, and some were simply lazy because of the hard journey, so they were left far behind by the special envoys who were in a hurry to get there. Thanks to this, these goods escaped by luck and did not let the 27th Battalion serve a pot.

Seeing that the situation was not good, a few of his followers fled eastward like madness, giving full play to the advantage of the Turks coming and going like the wind, so fast that even the ironclad cavalry could not catch up with them.

A few days later, the Turkic retinue, who had survived, finally ran to Zijin Pass and urgently reported the news of the envoy's capture.

When Gema Khan heard this, his head suddenly grew twice.

Whether it was Ashina's envoy sent to Xijiang to look for him, or the prime minister Yalimu became a prisoner of the Zhenjiang army in a daze, which news gave him a headache.

"Are you the only ones who escaped?" Gema secretly moved to kill, and asked in a deep voice, "Is there anyone else who knows about this?" ”

One of the attendants shook his head: "There are two other brothers who ran away with us halfway. I estimate that most of them went to Shengyuguan. The envoy had set off from there before, and the prime minister's own nephew was still the guard of Sheng Yuguan. ”

Gemma rolled her eyes in anger: "Fuck! This is going to be a bad thing! ”

The entourage didn't understand what he meant, and said hurriedly: "Gema Khan, please hurry up and send troops to rescue the Prime Minister, it's too late!" ”

"Death to the side!" Gema said angrily: "Lao Tzu still needs someone to save me!" ”

After thinking about it, Gema Khan became more and more convinced that it was absolutely necessary to talk to Li Jiangyao now.

If it is true that someone escaped to Shengyu Pass as the entourage said, then it won't take long for Ashina Zhijin to learn the true situation on the ghost desert side of Western Xinjiang.

It is simply unreasonable for him not to immediately send a large army to slaughter himself.

At that time, not only Gema alone, but the entire Yakutia Independent Legion, and even the Night Wheel Clan far away in the Western Continent, all had to die under the scimitar of the Golden Clan.

In comparison, Li Jiangyao didn't have any good reason, he had to kill Gema and the Night Wheel Clan.

Therefore, if Li Jiangyao can be persuaded to ask the Zhenjiang army to make way for the Yakutia army to return to the steppe, then the future fate will be much more reliable.

-

"Lord Protector, this is the fifth batch of emissaries sent by Gemar, and you still refuse to see them?" Xie Tanyi asked while sipping tea.

Li Jiangyao leaned back in his chair, plucked his ears with a thin straw stick, and was not in a hurry to express his opinion, and Yudra, who was sitting on the other side, said: "It seems that this old guy Gema is really in a hurry. Just now, when I asked the messengers to go back and wait for the news, those goods cried on the spot, with tears in their eyes, so pitiful. ”

"What about the conditions?" Li Jiangyao asked lazily: "Since you are in a hurry, what conditions have they offered?" ”

Xie Tanzhi put down the teacup, took the parchment roll on the table, and said with a smile: "At the beginning, the other party was very high, saying that the two armies should exercise restraint and non-aggression against each other, so that the Yakut army could cross the border safely. However, within two days, Gema changed his mind and expressed his willingness to hand over all the troops of Zijin Pass and Western Xinjiang to us in the form of an armistice and peace, and he completely withdrew from the war. At that time, didn't you lose your temper and blow the other party's envoy away? They knew they were wrong, so they quickly came a third time and offered new terms. Gema said that they can come up with a large amount of money to reward the soldiers of the Zhenjiang Army, which is equivalent to planning to pay us for the road. ”

"I remember, the price offered by the other party is not a small amount." Yudra nodded and said, "Although Gema has not been in the Western Frontier for a long time, he has looted a lot of gold and silver treasures. Just the filial piety to give us gold, there are enough ten large boxes. ”

Xie Tanzhi bowed slightly, and continued to smile: "Last time, that is, their fourth batch of envoys, brought further sincerity. Gemato's conveyed to them that they hoped to conclude a brotherly alliance with Li Jiangyao Daduhu, you should be the eldest brother, and he would be the younger brother. From now on, the affairs of the Zhenjiang Army are the affairs of Yakutia, and he is willing to go to the soup and fight the fire, and he will not give up! ”

Li Jiangyao changed his ear and tickled, muttering, "Who rarely worships a bad old man with him?" ”

"My lord, if the righteous knot Jin Lan is not ruthless enough, then this time it is even more exaggerated." Xie Tanzhi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The parchment scroll sent by the envoy this time is very clearly written, Gema Khan hopes to recognize you as his father-in-law, I only ask you to be merciful and let him, the righteous son, go home as soon as possible!" ”

Li Jiangyao sat up straight and looked at Xie Tanzhi in surprise: "What did you say?" Gema wants to recognize me as a godfather? ”

"That's right." Xie Tanzhi nodded with a serious expression, but his eyes were full of smiles. The jade dra next to him also held back his laughter and held back very hard.

Li Jiangyao was not happy, he frowned and thought for a moment, and said: "Judging from Yalimu's confession, all the things that happened in the ghost desert in Western Xinjiang before, this guy Gema has been strictly hidden, and Ashina Zhijin, who is far away in Middle-earth, is almost completely unaware. It is precisely because of this that we have always felt very strange why the war situation is getting worse and worse, and Gema would rather transfer troops from the Western Continent than ask for help from the Turkic Eastern Expeditionary Army. ”

Yudra agreed: "Yes, we have received some rumors before, and we have also judged that Gema may have lied to Ashina about the military situation. But I still didn't expect that guy to be so bold and hide it so thoroughly. ”

Xie Tanzhi continued: "Now it seems that the matter can no longer be hidden, so Gema is so flustered, and would rather deign to worship the adult as a godfather, but also flee back to the Western Continent in a hurry." ”

Li Jiangyao's eyebrows tightened, and he analyzed carefully: "In less than a month, five batches of envoys, the conditions have been retreated step by step, which is enough for us to confirm that in order to save his old life and the Turkic Night Wheel tribe, Gema has made up his mind to betray Ashina Zhijin!" The fact that he can recognize me as a father means that a great danger is rapidly approaching him. ”

"What do you mean...... Ashina may have sent troops back to the division and is ready to take over Zijin Pass from Gema? Xie Tanzhi also frowned: "Brother Yu, do you have any news over there?" ”

Yudra muttered: "Lord Bookkeeper, the affairs west of Zijin Pass are watched by our Intelligence Division, and the east of Zijin Pass is in charge of Lord Zhou Xing and their Reverse Scale Division, so far, we have not received any report from Lord Zhou." However, after all, it is the enemy's territory now, and it is normal for some news to come back more slowly. ”

Li Jiangyao stood up and waved his hand: "Let's go, go and meet the envoy of Gema." ”

Located in the outer hall of the Zhenjiang Army Headquarters in Rouge City, several envoys sent by Gema have been waiting here for a long time.

Fortunately, a few days ago, Li Jiangyao temporarily moved the headquarters from Metasequoia to Rouge City, where the Second Army was located, which greatly shortened the distance of the Turkic envoys to and from Zijin Pass, otherwise the delay on the road alone would be enough to make Gema feel uneasy.

Hearing the guards outside shouting: "Most of them are protected-", the messengers hurriedly got up from their seats and stood solemnly to greet each other.

Li Jiangyao strode in, followed by Xie Tanzhi, Yudra, and Du Jian, the commander of the Second Army. He nodded slightly to the Turkic envoys, then sat down in the middle seat and asked, "Which of you is the leader?" ”

Li Jiangyao spoke in an authentic Turkic language, and the envoys couldn't help but be stunned, and one of the middle-aged men hurriedly responded: "Dadu Hu, the official is named Chakun, and he is the plenipotentiary representative of His Royal Highness the Turkic Night Wheel Clan's Khan Gema. ”

Li Jiangyao stared at him for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Are you khans ready to surrender?" ”

"Surrender?" Chakun was a little stunned: "What does it mean to surrender?" ”

Li Jiangyao snorted angrily: "Don't you understand surrender?" That is, to hand over the military flag and weapons, sacrifice the Zijin Pass, and the whole army marched out of the city to accept our control. ”

Chakun waved his hand again and again in a panic: "No, no, no, Your Excellency, you misunderstood, of course the subordinate knows the definition of surrender." I mean, our Gema Khan didn't intend to surrender, huh? ”

"Even the godfather has admitted it, and he still refuses to surrender?" Yudra teased beside him.

Chakun shook his head and replied in pure Chinese, "No, no." It was because of his admiration for Li Dadu's high wind and bright festival that Gema Khan hoped to form a deep friendship between the two sides by paying homage to his relatives. But it is absolutely impossible for our army to disarm and surrender, and it is contrary to the honor of our Yelun clan and the Yakut Legion. ”

Li Jiangyao's tone was cold: "You provoked a war and invaded Shengtang, in the end, there are only two ways to go. Either they will be killed back to the Yakutia steppe with a knife and a shot, or they will lay down their weapons, become prisoners, and be escorted out of the country by our army after the war is over. This is the rule of war, and it is also common sense to be a human being, understand? ”

Cha Kun was silent, he stared at Li Jiangyao quietly for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to speak: "Your Excellency, is this your final decision?" No more negotiable? ”

Li Jiangyao didn't answer Cha Kun's question immediately, he smiled slightly, and then suddenly asked, "Ashina's army...... It's already very close to Zijin Pass, right? ”

As soon as these words came out, Chakun's face suddenly changed greatly.

[Many book friends put forward opinions and felt that the daily update was a bit less. Since everyone likes the Zhenjiang Army and supports Li Jiangyao and his brothers so much, then I will also work harder, and for a period of time after that, I will strive to update three chapters a day.
