Lou Shide said: "The envoy left Yingzhou eight days ago."
Long Ying said: "What's going on in Yingzhou?"
Lou Shide said: "Sun Wanrong is reorganizing the army, with a strength of 70,000, and he has established himself as the Khitan Khan. He Axiao, Li Kaigu, and Luo Wuzheng are the marshals of the left, right, and middle groups. According to Sun Wanrong's style
, and he is proud of being invincible. As soon as the Turks and Xi people promise not to invade him, they will immediately attack him in large numbers, so we must be on guard."
Long Ying said happily: "If Sun Wanrong is stupid enough to attack on such a large scale, our troubles will be gone, and the Turks will also miss the opportunity, and they will no longer have the conditions to threaten us."
Lou Shide said: "Then we must win a fierce victory and completely defeat Sun Wanrong, so that he will never have a chance to stand up. We must fight quickly to make it difficult for the Turks to take advantage of the opportunity."
Long Ying said: "All my deployments are to create the momentum in front of me. No matter Mo Chuo or Sun Wanrong, no one believes that the Zhou army, which has been defeated many times, can deal with Sun Wanrong as fast as lightning, but I prefer to
We must give them a surprise. If this battle is won as neatly and beautifully as I expected, the Turks will have difficulty using troops against us in the next few years."
Lou Shide said: "How should we cooperate with Master Ying?"
Long Ying said: "There is no need to cooperate with anything. Everything is based on Commander Lou's usual approach. The goal is to defend. If you can defend, you can fight. If you can fight, you have a chance to win. As long as Sun Wanrong leaves Yingzhou, his death is not far away."
"
Returning to the east courtyard, the wind passed through the courtyard and the wilderness dance was talking.
Long Ying smiled and said, "When did Brother Huang come back?"
Huang Yuan Wu said: "I just came back! The latest news is that as long as Sun Wanrong can defeat you Long Ying, Li Zhi will stand on Sun Wanrong's side."
Long Ying said easily: "Li Zhiji is harming Sun Wanrong. This guy really knows how to choose the good and do it, and he is willing to help so much."
Huang Yuanwu asked in confusion: "Why does Brother Long have this opinion?"
Feng Guoting also didn't understand, and said with a bitter smile: "After arriving on the battlefield, you seem to have become a different person, and you are unpredictable."
Long Ying smiled and said: "It's not that it's unfathomable. It's just that I know some things that the two brothers don't know."
Feng Guoting understood that it was inconvenient to explain anything in front of the Wilderness Dance, so he stopped asking further questions.
Huang Yuan Wu said: "After what happened here, does Brother Long really want to go to Tubo?"
Long Ying said: "It is imperative to go to Tubo, but we still have to return to the capital of the gods first and give orders to our lord before we can leave. Brother Huang, are you interested?"
Wasteland Dance happily said: "I have not been to the highest plain in the world, of course I am willing to attach myself to it, so as to open my eyes. Brother Long, please accept me as your partner."
This is actually a plan for Longying to kill two birds with one stone, and at the same time it can reduce the suspicion of Wilderness Dance that they see through him.
Long Ying said: "If we pass by, we would like to visit your country."
Huang Yuan Wu smiled and said: "Brothers Meng Long have come up with the idea of visiting our country. It is our honor. However, you will have to make a big circle to enter Tubo from the Northeast Road."
Feng Guoting asked: "We have already experienced your sister's amazing skills. I wonder what other good things there are in Qiuci?"
Wasteland Dance leisurely said: "The capital of our country, Yiluolu City, is one of the oldest cities in the world and the intersection of Eastern and Western civilizations. It believes in Buddhism. Thirty miles outside the city, it is located at the southern foot of Qiletage Mountain.
The Subashi Buddhist Temple is the most famous Buddhist holy place outside the Great Wall. Your eminent monk Xuanzang once stayed in the temple for two months to preach and preach the Buddhist scriptures on his way to Tianzhu to the west."
Long Ying said yearningly: "Is this happening?"
Wasteland Dance said: "In addition to beauties, singing and dancing, our country is also very famous for its Buddhist cave paintings and textiles. It is also located in a large oasis with charming scenery. I guarantee that you will not regret going there."
Long Ying smiled and said: "Just for the beauty of your country, even if I don't know how to sing and dance, I will feel that my trip is worthwhile. Ha! Is it really beautiful?"
Feng Guoting smiled and cursed: "Look at Brother Huang's sister and you will know how stupid this sentence is!"
Huangyuanwu said angrily: "But my sister-in-law said that Brother Long didn't seem to be interested in her."
Long Ying laughed and said: "A misunderstanding! A misunderstanding! Just because she is so beautiful that the younger brother feels ashamed, and he thinks she is Mr. Feng's favorite, so he doesn't dare to offend her. Ha!"
At this time, someone came to report that Ningyan had arrived.
Long Ying met Zhang Jiujie at the door of the outer hall, who said, "She wants to talk to you alone." He then lowered his voice and said, "Eight hundred Turkic warriors came with her. They were led by the famous Turkic fierce general Shang Kuixin.
, this man is not only Mo Chu's number one favorite general, but also reportedly Ning Yan's lover. He is good at using spears and swordsmanship. He is one of the top masters in the Turks, and his reputation is far greater than that of the masters who followed Ning Yan to the capital of the gods.
.It is very unusual for him to accompany Ningyan on her mission."
Long Ying said: "How do you greet more than 800 people?"
Zhang Jiujie said: "The others did not follow her into the city and camped in the wilderness highlands outside the Great Wall. The comers are not good, so be careful when dealing with them!"
Long Ying tapped him on the shoulder and entered the lobby.
Ningyan is dressed in the uniform of a Turkic warrior, wearing a colorful round hat decorated with pearls, her hair is tied into two long braids, hanging on her shoulders, and she wears a red cloak. She stands in the center of the hall, looking at it with beautiful eyes.
He comes in.
Long Ying saluted from a distance, came to Ningyan who didn't return the gift, stood still three steps away, and said with a smile: "We are farewell to the gods. The princess looks more beautiful than before. It seems that everything is going well and she is in a good mood.
.”
Ningyan looked at him coldly and said calmly: "Brother Long has a brilliant record. Of course Ningyan is happy for you."
Long Ying said: "I don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. Will the princess bring good news to my little brother?"
Ningyan said softly: "It should be considered good news, it depends on what you think of it."
Long Ying smiled bitterly and said: "I really don't want to be an enemy of the princess, but things in life are not as expected. I hope things will not develop to that point, and things will backfire!"
Ningyan took a step forward, looked at him intently, her voice turned cold, and said: "The final decision is in the hands of the Great Khan. This time Ningyan is just passing the message on behalf of the Great Khan. Let Ningyan remind you that the decision was made by the Great Khan.
The decision has never changed, this is a fact known to everyone on the prairie."
Long Ying shrugged and said: "I have never been unable to do anything I want to do. Whether everyone knows it is not a problem, but I know it better than anyone else."
Since the two spoke, they have been tit for tat, and the atmosphere has become increasingly tense.
Ningyan sighed lightly and said: "If you hold this attitude, it seems that it will be difficult for us to reach an agreement. Let Ningyan give you a piece of advice. The power of the Great Khan is beyond your imagination. Sun Wanrong has no respect for him.
He is just an ant that can be trampled to pieces. He never takes the Zhou army seriously, but he thinks highly of you, Long Ying, otherwise he would not send Ningyan to talk to you."
Long Ying said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether the Great Khan thinks highly of Long Ying. The most important thing is that the princess has a little brother in her heart."
Ningyan said displeasedly: "Dragon Eagle! What I represent now is the Great Khan."
Long Ying said easily: "Princess, calm down, I just think kissing is much more interesting than fighting. Ha! Why don't the princess tell the Khan's decision and see if there is any room for bargaining."
The reason why he stood still after taking back Pingzhou and Jizhou was to wait and see what actions the Turks would take.
Ningyan said categorically: "After killing Sun Wanrong, Yingzhou will belong to you, and the other places will be handled by us."
Long Ying thought to himself that this was not a bad idea. Wouldn't it mean that if the Turks were allowed to annex the defeated Khitan, the Khitan would not be protected, and sooner or later the Xi State would be swallowed up by Mo Sui. The Turks would not only receive gifts of the Zhou people and materials, but also swallow up the Khitan in one go. In the two countries of Hexi and Xi, the population of the land has increased greatly, and the power has rapidly expanded to the Bohai Sea. Now the Zhou army is no longer a match for the Turks. In the future, they will be weak and weak, and they will be their prey.
Long Ying said calmly: "No!"
Ningyan showed a sly smile and said calmly: "The Great Khan said that if you don't know the truth, he will ask me to tell Sun Wanrong a promise he made."
Long Ying felt that he was at a disadvantage and said with a wry smile: "Princess, please speak directly."
Ningyan's eyes shot out a sharp cold light, staring at him and saying: "What month and day is today?"
Long Ying sighed: "Today is the second day of July, what does the date matter?"
Ningyan happily said: "Of course it has a lot to do with it. Ningyan will tell Sun Wanrong that as long as he can hold on to Yingzhou until your Mid-Autumn Festival, the Great Khan will go south to attack the city and plunder the lake. Let's see how you deal with it. The Great Khan's A promise is an oath to the earth. It will never be early or delayed. August 16 is the auspicious day for our Turkic army to launch."
Longying secretly screamed loudly, which was tantamount to ruining his plan of waiting for work in leisure, and he was led by Mo Chui to go on an expedition against Sun Wanrong.
Long Ying laughed and said: "It turns out that the Great Khan is so brilliant, I am very interested in it. However, the Great Khan seems to have missed the point. Yingzhou is far away from Luoyang, and a strong city like Chang'an cannot be defended." Stable Ying Prefecture must rely on the city to fight, does the Great Khan think Sun Wanrong can still repeat the power of the Battle of Xiashi Valley?"
Ning Yan said: "That's a matter between you and him. We don't care about it, and we don't care about it. I hope that you, Long Ying, are indeed capable of reaching heaven and earth. Regardless of victory or defeat, you can still maintain your vitality and defend Youzhou. Otherwise, your gods will turn into ghost cities, leaving only lonely ghosts to mourn you."
Long Ying said: "Nian Zai and the princess finally have a relationship, let me give you a piece of advice."
Ningyan said: "Say it!"
Long Ying said: "It would be unwise to offend me."
Ningyan said angrily: "How brave! How dare you threaten this palace?"
Long Ying said: "I'm just speaking based on the current situation. Any of your troops that appear on the battlefield will become the target of my Long Ying's attack. Don't blame me for not warning me first. Princess and your eight hundred sons, I will give you to you immediately tomorrow morning. Get away, if you offend me, you will kill every one of them. Only the princess will live and be my wife for a few days. Do you understand?"
Ningyan's eyes suddenly shone brightly, and she scolded: "You are too presumptuous! You are impatient to live."
Longying's eyes were filled with magic light, and he returned her sharp look and said: "Didn't the princess always want to kill me? Look! I am living better than anyone else now. Tell your father, he will never understand me. , and will never be able to control me. One day, he will regret his decision. Tell him that I look down on people who are greedy and renege on their promises. They make many demands here and overturn their promises there. The Khan's promise is worthless. .I am waiting for him to come over." (To be continued.)
