"Contact Ji Song!"
He Lu nodded numbly.
In the Tang Dynasty's Khotanchi camp, in the Chinese army's tent, Ji Song was in a daze with a letter in his hand!
Cheng Yaojin turned a blind eye to Cheng Yaojin who suddenly came in with a strange look on his face. This made Xu Jingzong on the side keep looking back and forth on their faces, as if he was exploring something.
eccentric!
There is definitely some big gossip that he doesn't know about.
He had a hunch that this might happen soon.
"Where have they been?"
Putting down the letter, he said calmly.
"We should have passed Yumen Pass. We are probably at the sandbank now. It may take a month to get here."
The fire of gossip in Cheng Yaojin's eyes was about to burst out. Oh my god, Princess Pingyang is here? When he knew the news, he almost choked to death while he was eating!
"What are you thinking about? It's boring!"
After glaring at the two of them, Ji Song turned around. Just when everyone thought he didn't want others to see him making a stink, Ji Song's words came over.
"Old Xu, I have a task for you!"
Xu Jingzong was stunned for a moment, suddenly feeling frightened, but before he could refuse, he heard: "Go to the Beiting Protector's Mansion immediately, and no matter what method you use, you must persuade the princess to return to the capital. If it doesn't work, you can We must keep him in the rear, otherwise you, Chang Shi, will stop doing this and return to the capital to wait for His Majesty to be punished!"
"You are indifferent to all the events in the Western Region. Although you are acting wisely to protect yourself, it remains to be verified whether you were involved in this. Do you think so?"
Xu Jingzong's face turned pale and his whole body was shaking. He was not frightened, but angry.
I’ve seen this damn ability to confuse right and wrong and make things out of nothing, it’s so shameless!
"What? Don't want to?"
"Ah...there are...many matters in the army. If I'm not here, I'm afraid..."
He wanted to use this as an excuse to excuse him, but who was Ji Song?
"No need. Your Majesty has written a letter saying that the Duke of Ju is coming. Judging from the time, he will probably be here soon. You will be fine as long as Duke Tang is here."
"This... Everything in the army is complicated, and Mr. Tang is old..."
"It's okay! As long as I'm here, nothing will happen!"
Xu Jingzong struggled to no avail, and in the end he could only say with a sad face: "I'm an official... take my order!"
"Then I will hand over the affairs and leave tomorrow...the day after tomorrow?"
But Ji Song's next words completely shattered his idea of stalling for time. He only heard: "Oh! Time is urgent. Go back and pack up before setting off. Our guild will send personal soldiers to escort you."
Okay, all the escape routes are blocked, what can we do?
"I understand...I understand!"
Ji Song turned around and looked at Xu Jingzong who was gritting his teeth with a smile. He suddenly felt that sometimes sensible people are always easy to get along with, don't you believe it? Then look at the person in front of you?
When he and Lao Cheng were left in the tent, the two stared at each other, and the atmosphere was extremely strange for a moment!
"Princess Pingyang..."
"Ahem!"
Ji Song hurriedly coughed a few times and said expressionlessly: "I heard that Duke Qiao has asked for war many times. Now that Tibetan elites have gathered here, he really has nothing to do in Tubo. Why don't we invite him too?"
The corner of Cheng Yaojin's mouth twitched, thinking about what Chai Shao would think when he found out about this?
Even though this kid was asking him, he probably had already made up his mind!
"Well, I think it's okay!"
There is no other way. This aunt came to Anxi. If something happens, who can tell clearly? Or should he ask his husband to get the price together so that everyone can feel at ease?
He didn't want anything unexpected to happen at this time!
"Okay, then it's settled!"
Ji Song nodded happily, without delay, directly
Start writing the order on the eucalyptus table!
There are two copies, one is sent to Chang'an and the other is sent to Dongnu Kingdom. He also ordered the messengers from Chang'an to be delayed, while those from Dongnu Kingdom must be sent immediately. They would change horses without changing people on the way, and it would be expedited for five hundred miles!
"Report......"
Just when Ji Song was relieved, an emergency call came from outside the tent, and both of them were stunned!
"Report to the General, a messenger from the Turkic rebellion has come, saying he wants to talk to the General!"
Both Ji Song and Cheng Yaojin were shocked. Talk about it? What to talk about?
"You go down and ask people to entertain you. Just say that I am busy with work and will see you again in a few days!"
"promise!"
The soldiers retreated, and Ji Song stroked the short beard on his chin thoughtfully. If nothing else happened, He Lu wouldn't be able to hold on any longer. No wonder, not to mention how many people died, even their cattle and sheep suffered heavy losses, and they were trapped in this three hundred-mile radius, with nowhere to go even if they wanted to plunder.
The Tang Dynasty had not really conquered this area, and the best land was still occupied by the Tang Dynasty's Khotanchi Camp. It was blocked by the Gobi Desert to the north, and to the south and west by numerous mountains.
It’s not easy to replenish food and grass!
"Call me, Duke Zhai Yang is here to discuss matters!"
"promise!"
Soon, Guo Xiaoke, who got the news, came to the big tent. Looking at his anxious look, he obviously got the news!
"General, I heard that the Turks are negotiating?"
Ji Song motioned for him to sit down, and then said: "I came here to talk. The person who came is the Great Elder of Western Turks. He has great prestige in Western Turks. Although he does not have much real power, he can influence many things in Western Turks. He is now the think tank of the Western Turks!"
"It seems they are sincere!"
Cheng Yaojin thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about it?"
"No!"
Ji Song shook his head and said with a smile, "It's not enough!"
"General Guo!"
"Immediately lead 30,000 Tang Dynasty cavalry and 30,000 Tubo cavalry, plus 50,000 servants, and slowly advance towards Suiye City. Remember, walk slowly. If you encounter anyone on the road, cattle, sheep Yes, bring back those who can be brought back, and those who cannot be brought back will be killed and eaten for meat!"
"The soldiers are fighting with us, so we can't suffer them, right?"
Guo Xiaoke was a little confused when he heard this. What does this mean?
"You mean to keep applying pressure?"
Cheng Yaojin's eyes lit up and he said: "The fact that they are here to talk now means that they have reached the point where it is unsustainable, but the great elder just came to talk, which means they can still hold on. So, we continue to attack , continue to exert pressure until they can’t hold it anymore?”
"Yes, that's wrong too!"
Facing the confused looks of the two people, Ji Song said quietly: "I have no intention of negotiating with them at all. There are only two ways in front of them. Either leave a large number of Turks and move westward in light clothes, or negotiate with the Tang Dynasty." Fight a decisive battle,"
"If we win, there's nothing left to say. The Western Alliance will eat too much, and Tibet in the south will be unsettled. When hundreds of thousands of troops march eastward, you can naturally take whatever you want."
"But if we lose, then there is no need for the Turkic race to exist anymore. Maybe there will be a few entries in the history books!"
"So, He Lu doesn't dare to gamble!"
"And at such a critical moment, he didn't dare to put all his efforts in!"
"Once we go to war with the Turks at all costs, no matter whether they win or lose, they will no longer be able to invade the Western Regions, and maybe they will be swallowed up by the sudden arrival of the food!"
Guo Xiaoke was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Is it possible for him to be recruited by the Big Eater?"
"That would be even more unacceptable to He Lu than the genocide!"
"The Great Eclipse is not the Great Tang. Look at the countries that were destroyed. Which one didn't destroy its ancestral temples, destroy its civilization, spread its religion, and change its ways?"
"In Dashi, you can only believe in their Allah, everything else is heresy!"
Ji Song seemed to be talking about an insignificant thing, but below Cheng Yaojin and Guo Xiaoke
But he was sweating profusely.
"So, as long as He Lu is not stupid, he will never surrender to Dashi. What he wants is for both Tang Dynasty and Dashi to suffer losses, instead of being the mantis and being eaten up by the oriole behind him!"
"Therefore, either fight with the Tang Dynasty and then move westward, and wait for the outcome of the Great Eclipse and the Tang Dynasty before making a decision. Or decisively abandon the old, weak, women and children, and lead the elite young men to move westward to wait for the opportunity!"
"Because he knows that no matter whether Dashi wins or the Tang Dynasty wins, he will benefit. If the Tang Dynasty loses, he can advance into the Western Regions and even fight back to the grassland again, reappearing as the overlord of the grassland."

The army was dispatched. He Lu, who had been paying attention to the movements here, knew about such a big movement immediately. But now there has been no news since the Great Elder went to Tang Camp. What does Datang mean by doing this?
"What does Ji Song want to do?"
"What does he want to do?"
He Lu is like a wild beast that is about to go crazy. He has had enough of this kind of fearful life!
"Come here!"
"Sweat!"
He Lu gritted his teeth and said: "Since the Tang Dynasty wants to fight, then let's fight. Even if we die, we will bite off a piece of their flesh!"
"Rather than sit back and wait for death, it's better to fight to the death!"
"Send the order, gather the army and fight against the Tang army!"
Then, no matter what the people below thought, he put on the armor under the service of the maid.
To be honest, under the current situation of Western Turks, people don’t want to fight at all. If it weren't for He Lu's vow to profit from the fisherman between the two countries, they would have started moving westward long ago.
If I had wanted to fight long ago, would I still be able to get it now?
After being suppressed and beaten by the Tang Army in these years, I have long heard that the Tang Army's demeanor has changed. Before the fight, the morale has dropped by three points. How can we fight this battle?
But now Suiye City is full of He Lu's cronies. If they dare to contradict him, it is not impossible to sacrifice their heads to the flag. Everyone looked at each other and retreated in silence.
All this is in He Lu's eyes, but he doesn't care!
"I ordered people to watch them carefully and kill them on the spot if they make any move!"
"Yes, Khan!"
------------------
Cheng Yaojin and Guo Xiaoke led the army to Suiye Town. When they were nearly a hundred miles away, the scouts came to report.
"General, the Turks have moved, and the army is coming out, coming towards us!"
Guo Xiaoke chuckled and said to Cheng Yaojin: "As expected by the general, He Lu still can't hold his anger. He is still young after all!"
"It's good to be young and have drive! But if you go too far, that's stupid!"
The two of them did not take He Lu seriously at all. When Ji Song analyzed He Lu's purpose, they knew that He Lu would not fight with Datang as long as he did not want to die. It seems that the army is coming with great force, but only God knows how many people want to fight.
"I wonder what happened to the guy who sneaked into the Turk camp? Don't be discovered by then!"
Cheng Yaojin seemed to remember something and said with some expectation.
"Don't worry, I know that person, nothing serious will happen. Besides, there were quite a few gangsters who sneaked into the Turk camp. How can you tell the difference between the real ones and the fake ones?"
"Look, maybe he can give us a surprise!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, like an old fox who had stolen a chicken...
