"Huh? Shuqi has left Guzang City?"

"What on earth is that guy Zhao Tong doing?"

When the knights of the Han army followed the Wuwei envoy who had let go and left for the Xiutu tribe, the news quickly spread back to the city.

All the county officials couldn't help but feel suspicious and looked puzzled.

I wonder what Zhao Tong, who has always been scheming, means?

However, Wuwei Prefect was silent for a long time and thought deeply for a long time, but he seemed to have guessed something. His expression gradually dimmed, his eyes were solemn, and he said:

"Oops!"

"Master Fu, what's wrong?"

As his subordinates asked, Governor Wuwei did not hesitate at all and responded quickly: "If my prediction is correct, I am afraid that our intention to rush to Xiutuze to ask for help from King Xiutu has been noticed by the Shu army."

"Then Zhao Tong took advantage of his plan and deliberately let our envoy go. He led his troops to follow him and kill the Xiutu tribe."

"As expected, with the elite Shu cavalry, if they can catch the Xiutu tribe by surprise, they will probably be destroyed like the Western Qiang Kingdom!"

As soon as the words fell, the county officials on both sides could not help but express deep worries and complex expressions.

The capital of the Western Qiang Kingdom was about to be destroyed by Qiang, and the fact that the Western Qiang King Cheliji was beheaded was also delivered to the hands of the envoy sent by You Chu, the prefect of Jincheng.

So everyone has heard about it!

"No way? Is Zhao Tong so bold?"

"I heard that King Xiutu has taken advantage of the frequent wars in Liangzhou in recent years and the imperial court has no time to take care of the border troubles to massively expand its military strength. His tribe now has thousands of elite cavalry."

"Can the Shu army win?"

"It's hard to say. The Xiqiang Kingdom is still stronger than Xiutu, but wasn't it also defeated by Zhao Tong's unexpected surprise attack strategy?"

"If King Xiutu doesn't react in time, it's hard to say whether we will win or lose!"

Look at all the subordinates discussing each other with each other.

Wuwei Prefect looked solemn and said in a deep voice, "Don't underestimate Shuqi."

"In the past, when the mighty general Ma Chao shocked Liangzhou, I had the honor to meet his most proud and brave Xiliang cavalry."

"This time, the elite cavalry led by Zhao Tong seems to be mainly based on the Xiliang Army..."

As soon as he said these words, the man who was still a little optimistic, thinking that the Xiutu tribe might not be able to withstand the charge of the Shu army, suddenly turned pessimistic.

Xiliang Iron Cavalry lives in Liangzhou and is very famous!

Officials in the local area have basically heard about it. The reason why Ma Chao was able to gallop through the counties of Liangzhou back then was almost invincible at the Western Frontier Fortress.

In addition to their own bravery, the Xiliang cavalry under their command also contributed a lot.

"Then Mr. Fu, how should we respond now?"

"If the Xiutu tribe is destroyed, then I, Wuwei, will be isolated and helpless, and the situation will become even more difficult!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a nearby county official raised his hand and suggested, "How about we quickly send a fast horse to Xiutu Ze to remind King Xiutu to take precautions?"

"I feel that with Xiutuzhen's strength, if we take precautions in advance, we will definitely not be defeated by the Shu army!"

Having said that, Prefect Wuwei shook his head, his face still solemn, and it took him a while before he responded: "Oh, I'm afraid it's too late to send someone at this time."

"The Shu army is full of fast cavalry. They have gone all out to attack Xiutu. How can our fast cavalry pass in front of them?"

"Even if we arrive early, I'm afraid King Xiu Tu won't have time to set up his defenses."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a helpless look on the eyebrows of the Wuwei Prefect.

"So what is the plan for now?"

"Can we just sit back and watch Xiutu's destruction?"

"well!"

Immediately, Wuwei Prefect lamented and said: "Now it seems that we can only hope that King Xiutu will notice it in advance."

"Otherwise, Xiitu's destruction may be unavoidable."

However, although Wuwei Prefect is slightly pessimistic, he is not indifferent!

Then they sent fast cavalry to Xiutu one after another, hoping to try to get ahead of the Shu army and rush to the Xiutu tribe to inform them of the details.

…

After nearly two days of galloping at full speed.

Following Wuwei's envoy, they first searched for the Xiutu tribe and successfully met King Xiutu.

I saw that King Xiutu was quite strong and powerful. He was wearing a Hun crown and a royal robe unique to the Hun tribe. The robe was embroidered with the gray wolf totem that symbolized the national style. He was brilliant and majestic.

.

Watching the envoy Cao rush into the tent, King Xiutu looked unkind, and then sat on the bed, staring at the envoy Wuwei closely, and asked extremely sternly:

"Who are you? Why do you want to come to me to slaughter the tribe?"

The words were spat out, the words were not harmonious, and seemed to be meant to question.

Hearing this, the Wuwei envoy knew that he had to ask for reinforcements from the other side, so he kept his posture very low, with a smile on his face, bowed his hands and saluted him, and said:

"I have sent an envoy from the prefect Wuwei's tent. I am here to invite you, Your Majesty, to bring together all the best men in the tribe to join us in attacking the Shu army."

"Shu Army?"

"Yes, your Majesty must have heard of the name of Shu General Zhao Tong, right?"

"Although this man is young, he is brave and good at fighting. He has never been defeated since he joined the army."

After saying that, the Wuwei envoy pondered for a while and then said: "Now, Zhao Tong has personally led thousands of fine cavalry to attack westward. Along the way, countless Qiang and Di tribes have been almost wiped out by him!"

"Even Cheliji, the powerful leader of the Xiqiang Kingdom for a while, was killed in a surprise attack by the Shu army and was destroyed."

"Now they have reached the outside of Zhigu Zang City in Wuwei County. My Lord knows well that the Shu cavalry is difficult to defeat, so the special envoy dismounted and ran non-stop to ask for your help to fight against the Shu army together."

As soon as the words fell, the entire Xiutu Royal Court seemed to fall into silence for a moment.

The heads of the various tribes seemed to be secretly pondering the pros and cons.

Is it worth sending troops to help the Cao family this time?

It seemed that after a while, King Xiutu suddenly burst into laughter, which made the military commander below feel confused.

Just when he was surprised, King Xiutu stopped laughing and asked sternly:

"Why should we send troops to help you?"

"Since you have made it clear that the Shu cavalry is brave, then why do I, the king, need to wade into this muddy water and only lose my son's life?"

"Hahaha~~"

Hearing this, Unexpectedly, the Martial Envoy also looked up to the sky and laughed, which also made King Xiutu and everyone around him puzzled.

"Why are you laughing?"

"I'm laughing at you. You are the master of Xiu Tu, but you can't see the situation clearly!"

After saying this, King Xiutu seemed to be irritated, his eyes seemed to be filled with rage, and he shouted: "Can I not see the situation clearly?"

"If the king could see the situation clearly, he should immediately mobilize his troops to help us."

"If not, your department may be in for a big disaster!"
