Cao Yanlu's wife is the daughter of Li Shengtian, the king of Khotan. The Kingdom of Khotan is also one of the few allies of the Guiyi Army in the Western Regions. Li Shengtian is also a very amazing person.

This is located in the King of Tian, ​​Weichi Seng Wubo. Because the Hexi Corridor was closed during the war in the late Tang Dynasty, he did not know that the Tang Dynasty had perished, so he still regarded himself as a vassal of the Tang Dynasty. He took Li as his surname and gave himself an extremely domineering name called Li Shengtian. His subsequent deeds showed that he was worthy of such a domineering name.

At this time, the Western Regions were at a crossroads of history. After the Battle of Talas, although the Tang Dynasty entered the Western Regions again and expelled the black-clothed and food-cooked forces, due to the Anshi Rebellion, the soldiers of the Western Regions Protectorate had to return to Central China, and a power vacuum appeared in the Western Regions. The Tubo people roamed Wuji in the Hexi Corridor area. To the north of the Pamir Mountains, the Karakhanate emerged. They occupied Talas, the important town of the Western Regions, moved the capital to Kashgar, and under the influence of religion, they attacked the Western Regions, which believed in Buddhism, in an attempt to make it the territory of the people of the true gods.

Li Shengtian took on the burden of stopping them and led the military and civilians of Khotan to engage in a cruel battle with the Karakhanate. This was not a even-match battle. Behind the Karakhanate, there were many helps of the kingdom of True God. They waved scimitars and shouted slogans of holy war. In addition to the Kingdom of Khotan, there were only Gaochang Uighurs, Guiyi Army and Ganzhou Uighurs who could provide them with very few help.

Although his strength was not as good as the enemy, Li Shengtian led the Khotan people to defeat the Karakhanate attack again and again, and even counterattacked into the territory of the Karakhanate. Until his death, the Karakhanate did not make any advantage. When his son Li Congde succeeded to the throne, he even invaded Kashgar and won a great victory, seizing countless gold and silver and rare elephants here. Later, he tributed the elephants to the Song Dynasty, which caused a great sensation.

"Husband, Sinharama has sent someone to deliver a letter and invite you to lead your army to attack the Karakhanate." Seeing that he had not spoken for a long time, Li Shengtian's daughter couldn't help but come forward to remind him, "This battle is related to the life and death of the Kingdom of Khotan. If the Kingdom of Khotan is destroyed, it will be Shazhou's turn to face them. Husband should make a decision early."

Sinharama is the current King of Khotan. He is the grandson of Li Congde, named Yuchi Sinharama. According to seniority, he is probably the nephew of Cao Yanlu. Perhaps because he knew that the Tang Dynasty had perished, the King of Khotan after Li Congde gave up the surname Li and restored the original surname Yuchi. However, they still worship the Central Plains as the main body, and the domestic customs and habits are mostly integrated with Buddhist culture and transformation.

Li You knew the meaning of the letter from Yuchi Sinharama. Now the Karakhanate target was placed on the Western Persia, and the Kashgar in the East was relatively empty. Therefore, Yuchi Sinharama wanted to invite Li You to lead the Guiyi army to attack Kashgar and completely seize the bridgehead for the Western world to enter the Western Regions.

Of course, Li You was happy to see this. If possible, he was willing to lead the army to participate in this battle. Unfortunately, the current situation made him unable to act according to his own wishes. The contradictions within the Guiyi Army are still complicated. Cao Yangong's power is still coveting the throne of the governor of the Guiyi Army. Li Jiqian is still eyeing Shazhou in the surrounding Tubo. If he leads his army to leave, internal and external conflicts will explode together, and the Guiyi Army may collapse and disappear immediately.

"It is indeed hard for Sinharama to resist the Karakhanate alone over the years. Logically speaking, this battle is also related to the life and death of my Guiyi Army. I should lead the army to help me." Li You couldn't help but sigh, "But you also know the situation in the Guiyi Army at the moment. This is not something I can send."

Seeing that Mrs. Li's gaze dimmed, Li You quickly said, "But I have some solutions now. Maybe it will take less than a long time to integrate the Guiyi army and eliminate the threats from the surrounding areas. By then, you may be able to gather a strong army to aid Sinharama." This is a major event that concerns whether his mission can be completed and cannot be refused.

"Since I have married into your Cao family, my interests must be the most important thing in everything. Since my husband has already taken care of it, I won't say much." Although he was born in the Kingdom of Khotan and looked very different from those of the women in the Central Plains, Mrs. Li spoke a good word, and even the thoughts in his mind were different from those of the Han women.

After saying that, Mrs. Li said goodbye and left, preparing meals for Li You, leaving him alone on the wall of the sandbank thinking about various ways. This was Li You's third time to come to the Western Regions, but this time was very different from the previous two times. The first time he only needed to escape the pursuit of the Huns and reach the Dayuezhi. The second time he followed the extremely powerful Tang army to fight. He had a fierce general like Gao Xianzhi and Li Siye, so he didn't have to worry too much.

But this time it was completely different. If you want to complete the task, you must first organize the internal structure under the siege of wolves. Such a complicated situation made Li You feel a little difficult.

Li You was not worried at all, but how to deal with Cao Yangong's team of people inside made him feel extremely immense. The easiest thing is to directly summon the Shen Ce Army to kill them, but if this happens, Li You's people's hearts in the Guiyi Army will be lost. In the Guiyi Army, which is deeply influenced by the transformation, it is a very despicable thing to kill each other.

It seems that he can ask him to come out for help? Thinking of the Shence Army, Li You remembered another gain from the last lottery. Since Dingyuan Hou Ban was able to unite the Western Regions countries that were killed and killed, it would be no problem to clean up this small situation, right? And he would definitely help the Guiyi army find a way out from the siege of Tubo, Xixia and Uighurs.

The idea was decided, and Li You started his action. He almost got off the city wall, took several personal guards to the desolate place outside the city, drove them far away, and called out the tiger talisman panel and chose the summoning class.

A white light flashed, and a man with a forehead like a swallow and a neck like a tiger appeared in front of Li You. He bowed his hand and said, "It's the genius who has seen the lord."

"Dingyuan Hou should not use so many politeness." Li You quickly stepped forward and helped him up, took his arm and walked up the nearby hill, "Dingyuan Hou, see where this is?"
