Li Xun had just breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go to the back hall for dinner when his personal soldiers came to report to Liu Xie for a visit.

Li Xun sighed and said helplessly: "Let him come in."

The personal soldiers responded and retreated. After a while, Liu Xie strode in.

"Sir, please see the Grand Marshal."

Liu Xie bowed halfway.

"Get up."

Li Xun waved his hand: "If you have something to do, you can't come back after lunch. You are busy with work, so you can't stop eating."

Liu Xie said carefully: "Master, you said it. If you have any latest news, you must report it to you as soon as possible. My subordinates dare not delay it."

Liu Xie is the old man who follows Li Xun. In the past, Liu Xie dared to joke occasionally in front of Li Xun, but as Li Xun's status and power gradually improved, an invisible majesty gradually became worse in the hearts of many people. Now, Liu Xie never dared to joke casually in front of Li Xun.

Li Xun nodded: "What's the latest news in the Dashi Empire?"

"have."

"Tell me."

Liu Xie said: "The war between the Persian Empire and the Dashi people was very fierce. The Persian Empire had the advantage in military strength because the emperor personally fought and had an advantage in military strength. However, according to the latest information, late the night before yesterday, Bin Rahimo organized a camp of 1,500 dead soldiers. Taking advantage of the heavy snow at night, he launched a sudden attack on the heavy food and grass areas of the Persian Empire 130 miles away, breaking the city in one fell swoop. The Persian Empire's food and grass were destroyed and the Persian Empire was ineffective, so he has withdrawn for the time being."

Li Xun said silently: "Benrahimo is really a tiger general."

Li Xun and Bin Rahimo did not know each other, but from Liu Xie's information, they didn't know Bin Rahimo, only three times, but every time there was news about him, it was a shocking event. In the situation where the Dashi Empire had already perished, it was Bin Rahimo who provoked the last banner against the Persian Empire, and also burst out with amazing combat power and will. He defeated Zhan Bai with less and defeated Zhan Bai, and consolidated the last piece of land of the Dashi Empire. Now, when the situation was against the trend, Bin Rahimo stood up again, broke through the rear of the Persian Empire and reversed the unfavorable situation in one fell swoop, and won his own side the opportunity to rest and breathe. This person is indeed not simple.

Liu Xie thought about it and hesitated, but he still spoke: "It is said that although Bin Rashimo won, he was seriously injured. However, this information has not been confirmed yet. I don't know whether it is true or false."

Li Xun would not ask any questions about the uncertain news and picked up the teacup and drank water.

Liu Xie glanced at Li Xun, and then continued: "Before Zhan Bai and the Grand Marshal went to war, they sent people to Loulan, hoping that they would help. The King of Loulan agreed, but in the end, he did not send troops. We have been bribing the deputy king of Loulan Kingdom, You Huan, but You Huan's attitude was always absent. After the Grand Marshal entered Suye City, You finally let go and expressed his willingness to be loyal to the Grand Marshal. Then he informed the inside story. The Hou Chi tribe, who lives in the southwest of Momeng, withdrew all the troops on the border of the Loulan border when the Grand Marshal and Zhan Bai broke out in a war. However, the actual intention was to paralyze the Loulan Kingdom and prepare to launch a raid while the Loulan Kingdom was out of power. However, this news was learned by Loulan Kingdom, so Zhan Bai sent people to demand support several times. However, Loulan Kingdom was afraid of the Hou Chi tribe and never dared to mobilize the army. He sat down and watched Zhan Bai be eliminated. "

Li Xun put down the teacup and smiled: "I didn't expect that Hou Chi tribe helped me a lot. I really want to thank them."

Liu Xie didn't say anything, and Li Xun said this, so he must have other intentions.

Sure enough, Li Xun's fingers bounced on the table, pondered for a moment, pointed at Liu Xie and said, "Send someone to tell the Hou Chi clan that if I need help, I, Li Xun, are willing to serve."

Since Loulan Kingdom has agreed to Zhan Bai to send troops to help, it is his own enemy, and the enemy is his friend. Li Xun has no reason not to contact Hou Chi tribe, and may be able to get unexpected benefits.

Li Xun said in a low voice: "What else?"

Liu Xie said in a deep voice: "In Kangju, which lives in the eastern part of the Western Regions, the Khans have had close contacts recently. They abandoned Tianlan and used the state religions of Mani and Rhodes as the national religions, and obtained the support of many leaders of the two religions. They gathered a large army and prepared to attack Xizhou."

Upon hearing this news, Li Xun's eyes twitched, his face looked a little ugly, and he began to think about it. He led 30,000 troops to Suye City, and there were 5,000 defenders each from Juyan City and Zhenshi City, and there were only 7,000 people left in Xizhou. If Kangju and Khan launched a surprise attack, they might have seized the way out.

Li Xun asked in a deep voice: "How did you learn about such confidential news?"

Liu Xie replied: "The Grand Marshal agreed to restore the missionary rights of the two religions of Mani and Rhodes in the entire Western Regions, which played a great role. Although most of the leaders of these two sects in the southern Western Regions were willing to cooperate with Kangju and Khan, their hearts were not in harmony. Some people were unwilling to start a war with the Grand Marshal, so they revealed the news to the internal Investigators there."

After listening, Li Xun pondered silently, pondered for a long time, and finally ordered: "Follow closely the actions of the countries in the southern Western Regions, and report them immediately if there are people and news."

"Yes, Grandmaster."

Liu Xie bowed and turned around and left.

Afterwards, Li Xun summoned everyone to discuss the matter and told everyone about the news that Liu Xie had just obtained.

When they heard that Kangju and Khan were ill-behaved, they all had different expressions. Shan Qiu, Li Cunxiao, Chen Tu and others immediately suggested that they gathered a large army and marched straight to the southern part of the Western Regions to destroy Kangju and Khan.

Chen He, Zhao Wei and others suggested that it would be better not to fight if they can fight, and use force as the supplement and win over them as the main point. It doesn’t matter if the negotiations fail, because their plans have been leaked. This approach can intimidate the southern countries, prevent them from doing anything randomly, and win time for themselves. It will not be too late to fight after the situation here is stabilized.

After listening to everyone's words, Li Xun's heart was a little biased towards the suggestions of Chen He, Zhao Wei and others, but Fan Zhongyun and Sima Tu have not spoken yet, and Li Xun also wanted to listen to their suggestions.

"Old Fan, Sima Tu, if you have any opinions in your heart, you might as well speak out."

Fan Zhongyun said indifferently: "We have just ended the war with Zhan Bai. The soldiers are tired and have begun to feel war-weary. Kangju and Khan have a high prestige and influence among the countries in the Western Regions. If we rashly attack these two countries, it is very likely to cause resistance in the entire Western Regions. Furthermore, our troops are limited in the end. Once the main force enters the south, this side will be very empty. The war has just ended, and people are unstable and there is no strong force to deter them. Many people with ulterior motives may take advantage of the chaos."

Fan Zhongyun probably hadn't thought of a good plan yet, but the meaning in his words was very clear. He did not agree with the launch of a war against Kangju and Khan, but he did not fully agree with the proposal of Chen He, Zhao Wei and others to negotiate, because this was not a long-term solution, and what should happen would still happen.
