The Western Turkic royal court, Nishu, the nominal Khan of the Western Turkic, sent his younger brother Tong E to the Tang Dynasty, counted the days and looked forward to his younger brother's return. The days waiting for his younger brother were like a year for him!

"It's been a month, it's time for news..." Nishu murmured to himself with a sad face.

It has been one month since Tong'e went to the Tang Dynasty. His originally extremely secretive whereabouts were leaked for some reason. Even his purpose of going to the Tang Dynasty this time made the entire Turkic people know it!

The consequence was that the Western Turks, which had already had many internal conflicts, had different camps again!

With Nishu as the leader, some tribes with relatively weak strength but relatively united support the return of the Tang Dynasty! And the other tribes with relatively strong strength, such as the Yugushai tribe, strongly opposed the return of the Tang Dynasty. According to Nishu, Yugushai has even discussed with some other large tribes to abolish their position as Khan and establish a new Khan! Of course, in addition to the agree and opponents, there are also some neutral tribes, but after all, they are only a few, and no one cares about their opinions...

Moreover, what made Nishu even more worried was that Yugushi and other troops gathered their troops and prepared to confront the Tang Dynasty head-on, and the reasons they gave also made Nishu unable to find any reason to oppose it - the Western Regions were originally the sphere of influence of the Western Turks, and the many small countries in the Western Regions were nominally vassal states of the Western Turks. How could the Tang Dynasty ignore the attack on the Western Regions?

This reason is understandable, but... Nishu is very clear about the current situation of the Western Turks. Not to mention direct confrontation with the Tang Dynasty, since the eastern Turks Jie Li Khan was eliminated by the Tang Dynasty, his Western Turks could not even handle the former subordinates, the Tiel tribes. In recent years, the dispute between the two sides, the Western Turks have been at the Xia Peak, and the eastern border line has repeatedly moved westward. Thousands of miles of pasture have handed over to the Tiel tribes!

Therefore, the most important thing for the Western Turks now is not about face or territory, but about stopping internal disputes as soon as possible and then slowly recuperate. Perhaps after thirty or fifty years, they still have hope of returning to their former hometown! And if this situation continues, there may be no need for Tielle or the Tang Dynasty to attack. In another ten or twenty years, the Western Turks will completely become second-rate or even third-rate forces. Even the small countries in the Western Regions are not as good as those of the Western Regions, and it is only a matter of time to completely perish!

Nishu knew these truths, as one of the most powerful tribe leaders of the Western Turks, Yugushu must have seen it very well, but he still encouraged the Turkish troops to gather troops to fight against the Tang Dynasty... Nishu understood that Yugushu was just to satisfy his own ambitions and did not care about the interests of the entire Turkic nation at all! And the reason why the Turks fell to this point today was caused by talents like Yugushu!

Nishu, who had not been sleeping all night, was thinking about the current situation of the Turks, thinking about how to prevent the Western Turks from continuing to decline. But when I think about it, the only way was to temporarily return to the Tang Dynasty and rest! Just like the Huns back then, I returned to the Han Dynasty and use the nutrients of the Han Dynasty to strengthen myself!

"Khan, the leaders of various tribes are asking for a visit outside the tent!"

On the new day, the sun was rising, and Nishu heard the sound of horse hooves as soon as he got up. Then a guard came to report that the leaders of various tribes such as Yugushai asked for a visit!

Nishu didn't have much surprise expression on his face, because he knew that these people would come sooner or later, so he just smiled faintly and said, "Hehe, are you here? Well, it's time to have a good talk! Let them come in!"

...

On the walls of Yanqi City, the king of Yanqi City, the king of the country, Long Tuqi Branch and a group of civil and military officials and generals, all stood here, looking at the dense tents outside the city with a serious expression!

"The Gaochang army is already at the city, why has the Tang Dynasty not taken any action yet? Why?" Long Tuqizhi murmured in a low voice. Although his voice was low, the ministers around him still heard his words!

"Your Majesty, is the Tang Dynasty really going to send troops to conquer Gaochang? Will it be..."

"The Tang Dynasty's writing is clearly written, not false... I just don't know why the Tang Dynasty has not yet made any moves!"

"It's no point in counting on the Tang Dynasty now. We are unable to resist Gaochang's nearly 20,000 troops... After all, the soldiers available in the entire royal city are only 10,000, and more than 70% of them are temporarily brought to make up the numbers!"

"well……"

"well……"

Everyone looked at the army outside the city with a frown, knowing that unless there was a miracle, Yan Qi was doomed this time! Everyone understood that there was only one way in front of them now, that was to surrender and surrender to Gaochang!

However, no one was embarrassed to speak this first, so they all turned their eyes to Longtuqi Branch and looked at him with hope, hoping that the king of their country could make a final decision!

Long Tuqizhi did not turn back, and kept looking at the army outside the city with a complicated expression. He actually thought about surrendering, but he did not dare to make a rash decision!

After surrendering, the civil and military officials under his command may not be reused by Gao Chang again, but at least he can survive. But he, the king of Yanqi, basically has no hope of survival!

Regardless of the rest, the Tang Dynasty sent 200,000 troops to attack Gaochang. If Ju Wentai knew that he was asking for help from the Tang Dynasty... Longtuqi Branch did not think about it anymore, others could surrender, but he absolutely couldn't, at least not yet!

"It's still early to surrender. It's obvious that the Gaochang army has just passed through the Death Desert and will have to be repaired for at least a few days before it will start siege... Although most of the defenders in the city are ordinary people, they will not be captured for a while... Perhaps, within one or two days, there will be news from the Tang Dynasty, so wait!"

The ministers looked at each other, and several people opened their mouths to say something, but in the end they didn't say it, and could only shake their heads and sigh helplessly.

To be honest, although the king of Longtuqi Branch did not have much ability and did not bring any real progress to Yanqi, he did not have any major shortcomings. Instead, he was quite kind and kind to their ministers and the people of Yanqi.

This is also the reason why in this current situation, these ministers still did not rebel against the Dragon Tuqi Branch. Even if the slightest fantasy of the Tang Dynasty in his heart might cause these civil and military ministers to suffer greater losses after the Gaochang Kingdom later broke through the city, they still didn't say much!

Of course, this is also what they know that even if Gaochang breaks through the city, he will not do anything to them, the civil and military ministers. They have a certain force behind them, and it is not something that Ju Wentai dares to touch easily!

At the same time, in the military camp of Gaochang Army outside the city, after the baptism of the Death Desert, the 25,000 troops that left Tianying Pass now have less than 20,000 left. However, compared with the legendary death desert, Fu Yu is lucky!
