Just as Su Xijie and others were lingering in the Alishi tribe, they met an acquaintance within a few days.

Yuwen Yongsun!

Five years after separation, both Yuwen Yongnu and Su Xijie changed a lot. Both of them were from Renyong. In the past, Yuwen Yongnu was a school captain and Su Xijie was a deputy captain. Needless to say, Su Xijie went through many hardships from the Western Regions to the Mind.

Yuwen Yongnu is now twenty-four years old. He was overjoyed when he saw Su Xijie, but he did not reveal it.

"Captain, how did you get here?"

"Xijie, something happened in Suye Town!"

"What's the matter?"

"Now Gao Xianzhi has taken over as Deputy Guardian and Anxi Jiedushi. He has brought out all the field legions of the four towns and brought up the troops of Bakhanna Kingdom and Shi Kingdom, a total of 30,000 elite troops. He followed the route that the governor took when he attacked Talas in the past, and suddenly arrived near the Ruiye City, and now he has surrounded Ruiye City!"

Su Xijie couldn't help but wonder, "Captain, even if Gao Xianzhi has 30,000 people, one of his Ren Yong would not have no idea of ​​his whereabouts. Before the second general left, Talas and Ashi did not come to the city, and there were a camp of the three places in the Thunder Ye City, as well as the agricultural and herdsmen. What's the fear of the 30,000 troops?"

Yuwen Yongnu shook his head, "After the Grand Governor left, things were not carried out as he imagined."

"When Fu Meng Lingcha was in power, he used both soft and hard skills. He laid a nail in Ashibulai City between Talas and Suoye City. Originally, there were two thousand Han people's mansion soldiers, and they were led by Hou Qi. After the Grand Commander left, Fu Meng Lingcha added another thousand mansion soldiers to this place, so there were three thousand mansion soldiers entirely composed of Tang people there, and Jia Chongguan, the original bahuancheng garrison commander, served as the guard envoy..."

"Guardian?"

"This was the case during the Cheng Qianli period. At that time, it was probably to stabilize Erlang. Cheng Qianli submitted a report to the court and named the 800-li territory between the northern foot of the Snow Mountain from Daluosi to Suye City as the jurisdiction of Ningxi Jiedu, appointing Li Fei Shouyu as the governor, and promoting Hou Qi, the former guard and capture envoy of Ashibulai City, as the deputy envoy."

"So Jia Chongguan was planted between Daluo City and Ruiye City. In the past two years, Ashibulai City has added another thousand Modao soldiers. It was Li Siye, the leader of Gao Xianzhi's tooth soldier, and Li Siye served as the tooth general. In addition, with the 1,000 regular cavalry dispatched from the four towns, Ashibulai City actually had as many as 5,000 people."

"We have nothing to say when they do this, but Erlang occupied the city of Suiye and Yuanfeng occupied the city of Talas. They were all camps with 3,000 people. In recent years, the military farms, workshops and other affairs in Suiye Town have gradually been taken over by people sent by Anxi..."

Su Xijie felt a stern, "The steel-staining method of smelting the ground at the western foot of the snow mountain is the Grand Governor's secret technique..."

Yuwen Yongnu shook his head, "The workmanship they sent only has requirements for output and quality, and it is not a question of how to smel it."

"Where is Feng Changqing?"

"Oh, just as you were waiting for the westward migration, you have been transferred back to Anxi by Cheng Qianli and asked him to serve as the guard of the Tianshan Army. He is naturally willing. At present, the chief judge of Suoye Town is Liu Shan from the former Anxi Protectorate. By the way, after the original eunuch Yu Chaoen was recalled to Chang'an, he sent him back somehow..."

Su Xijie suddenly thought of something and couldn't help feeling ashamed, "Oh, damn it, I don't know the princess..."

Yuwen Yongnu said: "The princess is very good, and the prince is also very good. The prince was seriously ill the previous year, almost... Fortunately, the general was blessed to escape the disaster."

"So after Gao Xianzhi surrounded Suiye City, Yuanfeng from Talas would be stopped by Jia Chongguan even if he wanted to come here to rescue him?"

"Of course, Yuanfeng was anxious at that time, and arranged for the black mansion soldiers to guard Talas. He took three thousand shattered Ye troops to shattered Ye City. When Ashi didn't come to the city, he was blocked by Jia Chongguan and Li Siye. Jia Chongguan's men were nothing, but Li Siye's Mo Dao was really powerful. After a battle, the Talas camp almost lost 30% of its horses. Yuan Feng had no choice but to retreat again."

"Then Gao Xianzhi hasn't attacked Thunder Ye City?"

"Xijie", Yuwen Yongnu looked at him, "Do you think Gao Xianzhi mobilized so many troops to come to Shaye City to destroy this city?"

“That’s…”

"When the Grand Commander moved west, Cheng Qianli was defeated in the Dahu area and took over the Beiting Protectorate Office, the matter of taking over the Beiting Protectorate has spread throughout the Tang Dynasty. Under the current circumstances, if the Grand Commander re-administered the Talas area, Anxi will definitely be gone. How could Gao Xianzhi be willing to do so?"

"What he wants is to force Li Fei Shouyu to surrender and siege the Thunder Ye City with only 3,000 elite troops..."

Su Xijie asked, "Before the Grand Commander left, he accepted the Gongyue tribe, half of the Mukun tribe, the Alishi tribe, the Huselo tribe, and the Geshu tribe whom we were friends with, there would be no problem to raise 20,000 cavalry?"

"Xijie, think about it, Gao Xianzhi's 30,000 troops suddenly arrived. Now the military power of the Grand Commander is scattered all over the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains. If you want to come here to rescue, it will take at least twenty days. Twenty days. With Gao Xianzhi's ability, Luoye City, no no, no, the entire Luoye River Basin has long been taken down..."

Su Xijie was shocked, "Gao Xianzhi brought a car crossbow this time?"

"Well, the crossbow and arrow branches with the thick arm have been tested on the wall of Saiye City for several rounds. It is indeed amazing. The arrow branches are firmly nailed into the wall. If you shoot a few more rounds, plus a catapult cart, it will be no problem to knock down the wall. Even if they can't knock down the ladder, they can climb up to the top of the city without the need for a ladder!"

"Then why didn't he attack the city?"

"Isn't this clear? He is waiting for the Grand Commander. After the Grand Commander's inquiry, he must be worried and anxious. He can only come to rescue with a light cavalry first. In front of the crossbow and the Modao, the Light Cavalry is just a decoration..."

"and you....."

"I want to inform the Grand Governor as soon as possible and abandon the Talas area, it's too late."

"The princess and her son?"

Yuwen Yongnu's face was filled with worries again, "Gao Xianzhi's focus is on Saiye City. He didn't care too much about Talas. I asked Heifu to take a thousand tribal cavalry to guard the princess and his son and go with me..."

Su Xijie nodded. He knew that Yuanfeng, Li Feishouyu, Hou Qi and others were irrelevant to Gao Xianzhi. Nan Gong Xiaoyue and his son were more important than these people. Of course, if the entire Suoye City basin could be taken down, there would be no problem without Nan Gong Xiaoyue and his son.

After hearing this, Su Xijie quickly pulled Ma Lin and said, "Premier Ma, let's go to see the princess first."

At this time, Ma Lin was also worried. In his mind, it would be good if the Tang Dynasty completely took over the Suiyechuan River Basin. However, with Gao Xianzhi's ruthlessness, after taking over Suiyechuan, he would definitely slaughter here. Except for the Han people, the remaining Hu people's soldiers were the first to be affected. These people were tried hard to stabilize. Once they were killed, it would not be so easy to find another group in the future.

Therefore, a Suiye Town, headed by Li Fei Shouyu, but in name was still under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty, was what he hoped for.

Hearing Su Xijie's words, he barely broke free from his sorrow.

"good"

Su Xijie and Ma Lin came to a carriage covered with silk cloth.

"Su Xijie/Ma Lin pays homage to the princess"

"No gifts", Ma Lin had never seen Nan Gong Xiaoyue, but Su Xijie had seen it before. When he heard the sound, he was a little inappropriate. He quickly asked, "Princess, are you uncomfortable?"

"Xijie, it's not a problem, I just feel the wind and cold."

"Did you use the medicine for the medical soldier of the Broken Ye Army?"

“It’s better after using it”

"The princess has a good rest and his subordinates take his leave."

When Su Xijie returned to Yuwen Yongnu, he quickly asked, "How long has the princess been like this?"

Yuwen Yongnu replied: "It's been several days, and I've been a little better these days, alas..."

Su Xijie was also a little restless and was silent for a while. Seeing that Yuwen Yongnu did not look very nervous, he thought to himself: "This person is a wise man from the Nangong tribe, and most of them have plans."

"Captain, how should we do now?"

Yuwen Yongnu looked at Ma Lin, and Su Xijie quickly said, "Premier Ma is now a general under the command of the Grand Commander. They are all their own people, so it's not in the way."

"Okay," Yuwen Yongnu nodded, and he took out a map from his body, "This is the Alishi tribe. If you pass through the Tianshan Mountains through the Yili River and come to the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, it will be more than a thousand miles away. There is no post station here. Even if the Gelulu people along the way, Hu Luju people still buy it, and it will take as soon as five days."

"At present, Gao Xianzhi has only 10,000 people surrounding Sailye City, and the rest have been dispatched to various places. When the Grand Commander arrives, it will take ten days at the earliest. Even if Sailye City and Talas City are still there, most of the remaining vast areas are in his hands."

"He drew all the military strength of Anxi here, so Anxi became empty. However, the Grand Governor wanted to surround Wei and save Zhao, and the fastest way was to cross the Tianshan Mountains. However, Gaochang still had to seal Changqing's 10,000 troops and guard various dangerous passes. Those dangerous passes were all near the southern foot of Tianshan Mountain, built around the mountains, which was extremely dangerous. How easy was it to break easily?"

"Then there is no way?"

"Yes, attack the Yizhou army and threaten Gua and Shazhou!"

"But that is the defense zone of the Hexi Army, so Gao Xianzhi can ignore it at all!"

"Don't worry, he must pay attention"

"oh?"

"In recent years, I have established a stronghold in the four towns of Anxi. When you are waiting for the westward movement, I received a letter from the Grand Commander, so I asked Renyong, who is in Yutian Town, to cross Kunlun Mountain..."

Su Xijie's eyes lit up.

"Since the Grand Governor was domineering in Mobei, the Tubo people were repeatedly defeated near the West Sea. Tuyuhun, Dangxiang Qiang and others who had previously surrendered to them also continued to leave Tubo and go to the Tang Dynasty. Finally, the Tubo king was furious and dispatched them all to Xiangxiong land, and let the Xiangxiong people move to Kunlun Mountain and Qilian Mountain in Yutian Town, and set up Wanhu Mansion there, where the son-in-law of the Tubo king, the former Tuyuhun Prince, the Dangxiang Qiang tribes."

"There are vast pastures and many lakes. The eastern veins of Kunlun Mountain are low and gentle. The north of the mountain is a desert area between Yutian Town and Shazhou. As long as you are well prepared, you can completely cross the Kunlun Mountains from there, then go east to Shazhou or west to Yutian..."
