In Jishi City, Tieyan looked at the burned granary, and her old face was filled with uncontrollable anger. Murong Shenzi, who rushed over after hearing the news, also had a dark face.

"Why did the Tang army enter the city? What's going on?"

Tieyan sent two thousand Tubo soldiers to guard the granary. In addition to trusting the Tuyuhun people, he also wanted to control the most important food and fodder in his hands to control the Tuyuhun people.

Now that the fire has come, nearly 70% of the food and fodder have been removed, and the remaining is only enough for the 30,000 soldiers and horses in their city to eat horses and chew for half a month, but it is unknown how long it will take to wait until the reinforcements sent by Luoshe City.

Thinking of this, Tieyan directly put the knife on the neck of the granary guard. This was his son of Zhuo and his nephew, otherwise he would not have been confident in handing over the granary to him to guard.

"Marson, those Tang troops suddenly appeared. They were wearing our armored clothes. The leader would speak Tubo language. The generals guarding the main gate did not notice for a moment, and mistakenly thought they were sent by the Marshal. They allowed them to approach, and it was too late when they found out."

Tieyan was furious when he heard this. The Tang army pretended to be their Tubo army was not a clever method. Just by carefully checking, you can see the truth. But these idiots under his command thought that the Tang army had not attacked during this period and did not attack the city once. They all relaxed their vigilance. They did not realize that it was too late when the other party touched the enemy and started an attack.

"Marson, now it's not the time to care about these things. Most of the food and grass are burned. What should we do next? Keep staying here and die sooner or later. According to my opinion, it's better to withdraw back to Chishui City and make a decision."

Murong Shen said coldly from the side, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face as he spoke. Tieyan turned around and looked at the Tuyuhun prince, and roared fiercely like an old wolf who had chosen people and devoured him. "Hundreds of Tang soldiers touched the city inexplicably and burned our food and grass. This is not a matter of concern, so what is?"

Facing Tieyan's fierce eyes, Murong Shen, who was prepared, looked at him without any weakness, and held the hilt of the knife and shouted, "The Marshal's meaning is that we Tuyuhun people put the Tang army into the city and burned food!"

When Tieyan heard Murong Shen's words, he didn't say anything. His face looked suspicious, but his meaning was clearly a bit of acquiescent.

Murong Shen laughed, then laughed louder and louder, then blushed and cursed, "Old thief, if I really want to join the Tang Dynasty, why do you need to do this? Just open the city gate and welcome the Tang army into the city. You, the old thief, can you still have the head to talk to me like this now."

Hearing Murong Shen's disrespectful words, the Tubo warriors behind Tieyan all drew their swords and scolded, "Bold, dare to be rude to the marshal."

Behind Murong Shen, those Tuyuhun warriors who were unknown inside, drew their swords to protect their own princes, and cursed and confronted the Tubo people. In their opinion, the princes from home said that the truth was that. If they really enlisted in the Tang Dynasty and opened the city gate directly, why bother such trouble?

"Old thief, I, the Tuyuhun people, cannot be humiliated easily. If you don't give me an explanation today, at worst, we will meet each other. Anyway, this Jishi City cannot be defended. If you have the ability, you will chop off my head."

Murong Shen started to curse without hesitation. Now he is sure that this veteran Tubo dare not do anything to him.

"The eldest prince is so serious. I am just anxious. If I say the wrong thing, please forgive me."

Tieyan's old face seemed to have a dye shop, red and green, but in the end he swallowed the anger in his heart, and lowered his head to the Tuyuhun people in the aggrieved expression of the Tuyuhun warrior behind him.

The Tuyuhun Prince in front of him could be good at playing tricks, but he could not. Zanpu handed over the Qinghai gate that guarded the fertile soil of Jiuqu. He would never let Zanpu down. What's more, if the Tang army occupied Jishi City, the Tang army would launch an attack from four or five directions next. If Dafan lost the Jiuqu land that was seized from Tuyuhun, his national strength would be greatly damaged. I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty would be defeated in danger of destruction of the country and the seeds.

In an instant, Tieyan's thoughts erupted and many thoughts came to mind. When he calmed down again, his expression returned to normal. "The eldest prince is right. Now it is not a time to care about such trivial matters. Please ask the eldest prince to appease the warriors of your troops and strengthen the guards in the city."

"Don't worry, Marshal, I know what to do."

Murong Shen did not call him any old thief, but his tone was still very stiff. Tieyan was too lazy to care about it at this time. Even though he still suspected that someone in Tuyuhun had an affair with the Tang army, he did not think about the eldest prince, because as he said, if this eldest prince had an affair with the Tang army, he could open the city gate to welcome the Tang army into the city, and he would not have a chance to stop it at that time.

When Murong Shen left, Tieyan walked to the bodies of the Tang army dead soldiers who were restrained together. Looking at the appearance of the people who were all Dangxiang under the light of fire, he couldn't help but feel even more depressed. He just heard from his subordinates that after these Tang army dead soldiers entered the granary, they advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, had excellent military skills, and set fire to snipe. They thought they were elite soldiers of the Tang army, but they didn't expect that they were just Dangxiang people who had just been subdued by the Tang army.

Even if they left the city to fight against the Tang army, they would have some chance of winning. Thinking of this, Tieyan was completely in a bad mood. But now most of the food and grass are lost. He continued to defend the city. When the food was out of stock, he was afraid that the Tuyuhun people would really rebel. But if he just gave up Jishi City, how could he be willing?

"You search me carefully for the city. Those who survived the Tang army's dead soldiers could not disappear completely."

Just when Tieyan ordered his subordinates, soldiers suddenly came to report that the Tuyuhun people had just discovered that the defenders in the south city had been slaughtered, and even the Dafan warriors who were supervising the army were not spared.

"I'm so angry."

Tieyan drew his sword and slashed hard at the body of the Dangxiang man on the ground. There was no evidence of his death. Where can I start from? More importantly, he could no longer trust the Tuyuhun man.

...

"The great protector is a true god!"

When Murong Chan returned to his tent, he saw Xue Zhenzhu, who had already been dressed in Tuyuhun warriors, and said with a blushing face. After the granary fire in the city, the general of the Thousand Battalions of the Shattered Ye Army brought the remaining Dangxiang soldiers into the central army directly under him. Because he changed his clothes in advance, no one in the army knew that he had defected to the Tang Dynasty except for his close confidants.

"The Lord is naturally a god-like man, but I don't know the meaning of the old thief who can go out of the city to fight now."

Xue Zhenzhu looked as if she was a natural person. When he set off last night, he brought the treasures given by the Lord. When he saw the Tuyuhun prince dismantling them, it only wrote that the Tuyuhun prince was asked to be tough in front of the Tubo Marshal, saying that this would temporarily clear the suspicion of the traitors.

"The old thief is quite envious, but now most of the food and supplies are gone, and the reinforcements have not been heard for a long time. I think he has to fight even if he doesn't want to leave the city."

Murong Chan was in a good mood. The gubernator said in the treasure bag that if the Tubo people went out of the city to fight, they would definitely let the Tuyuhun people be cannon fodder to consume the royal army. Then he would do it. When the two armies fought, they would let the generals whom he didn't like to die to win the trust of the Tubo people.

"That's great, the eldest prince, I'll be chatting with you in the past few days."

Xue Zhenzhu said to Murong Shen casually that in the eyes of these two Tuyuhun princes, they regarded him as a hostage, but both of them believed that Chen Guang, the Anxi Protector, had a great plan, and that one by one, had to deceive them, so they also regarded Xue Zhenzhu as a guest of honor.

For three consecutive days, Tieyan did not raise a tent to gather generals to discuss the issue of sending troops. She just made her subordinates turn into the city, trying to find out the missing Tang army dead soldiers who escaped the net, but the final result was still nothing. Instead, the conflict between the Tuyuhun people and the Tubo people in the city became more and more intense.

...

"Master, the traitor is still silent, Xue Dalang won't..."

Although Xue Zhenzhu is a Tie Le, he is a veteran of the Shattered Ye Army, and he is loyal to Chen Guang and is also accustomed to having relationships. Therefore, Nan Jiyun, Lei Wanchun, Zhang Xiaojing and others have a very good relationship with him. Now that the traitors in Jishi City are burned, Xue Zhenzhu is not back, so they are inevitably worried.

"Don't worry, Xue Dalang is a clever person. If something really happens, the city will not be so quiet."

Chen Guang was still full of confidence, but he was still a little nervous inside, but now he is the leader of the army and must not show his timidity in front of his subordinates and generals.

"Nan Ba, that guy Xue Da is accustomed to saving his life. Maybe you and I will be on the battlefield in the future..."

Lei Wanchun said carelessly, but then Nan Jiyun stared at him and stopped saying those unlucky words.

At this moment, smoke suddenly rose up on the horizon in the distance, and then a team of more than ten people rushed towards the army camp. Behind Chen Guang, Guo Ziyi and Nan Jiyun, who had superb eyes, could see clearly that the knights approaching were the traitors.

"The messenger of the traitor is here, let's go and have a look with me."

Chen Guang rode his horse first and jumped down from the hill where he could observe Jishi City, and then surrounded him with people behind him and soon appeared in front of the Tubo knights.

He strangled the horse in surprise and looked at the Tang army appearing in front of him. The Zhuo warrior beside Tieyan couldn't help but say, "After the order of my marshal, I came to send a letter of war to Shen Dadu Protector. Please..."

"And bring the war letter."

Chen Guang immediately said straight away. Although the Zhuo warrior was unwilling to accept it, he looked at the Tang soldiers around him who were extremely fierce. His aura was simply frightening. He dared not say anything stubborn, but he just obediently presented the war letter.

Although it was an unwritten rule for the two armies to fight, the envoys were not killed. However, for so many years, the envoys sent by the Tang Dynasty and Tubo would be cut off from each other to boost the morale of the army. The Zhuo warrior naturally did not want to have any accidents. He was captured by the Tang army in front of him and chopped off his head to sacrifice the flag.

After asking his subordinates to send the letter of war, he hurriedly adjusted his horse and said on the horse, "Since the letter of war has been delivered, I will go and report back to my marshal."

Looking at the Tubo people who left in a hurry, the generals around Chen Guang sneered. They thought the Tubo soldiers and horses in this city were fierce, but now they didn't look very good.

"Master, how do you say the traitor?"

Guo Ziyi looked at Chen Guang, who had already demolished the war book, and couldn't help but ask. The other generals around him were full of excitement. Since they left Wuwei City, they have not only trained soldiers but also trained soldiers. Like the soldiers below, they have long been looking forward to fighting a big battle.

"Ask us a dignified battle in the ten miles outside the city tomorrow."

As Chen Guang spoke, he handed the war letter in his hand to Guo Ziyi. Although there were many strange plans in the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo, most of the time, the two armies were facing each other and fighting in an array on the agreed battlefield.

"This turtle shrank is finally willing to come out!"

An Chongzhang cursed, and then he rushed to the other person to react and said, "Master, I am willing to lead my troops as the vanguard and fight against the thieves tomorrow."

Now the other generals also asked for battle, and everyone wanted to show their faces in front of the lord Shen Guang. After looking back and forth between the old subordinates of Nan Jiyun and An Chongzhang and other newly defected Hexi generals, Chen Guang made a decision, "Then tomorrow, General An's troops will be the vanguard and give the thieves a warning."

"Thank you, Lord."

An Chongzhang was overjoyed when he heard this. He was also full of energy to show off in front of the Lord. Now, thanks to Mr. Ximen, Nan Jiyun, Lei Wanchun, and Zhang Xiaojing, the old subordinates who followed the Lord, have become famous all over the world, and he is also unwilling to fall behind.

"The same thing, don't beat the thief too hard tomorrow."

Chen Guang smiled and said, he was not arrogant, but his command can now be called a powerful general, and only his father-in-law can compare with him.

...

After returning to the camp, with the news of the decisive battle with the thieves at the foot of Jishi Mountain tomorrow, all the soldiers were happy when they heard the battle, which made Li Bai and Du Fu and others extremely excited. Even Du Fu wiped his sword and said that he would definitely go into battle to accumulate a few thieves' heads.

"Brother Li, why do you laugh at me? Do you think you are not a match for a thief?"

"Zimei, that's not what I mean, but how can you and I have a chance to go into battle tomorrow? Lord..."

Li Bai shook his head. Among them, Gao Shi and Cen Shen might have a chance to go into battle, but he, Du Fu and Yan Zhenqing would rather forget it, so as not to cause trouble for the lord.

Although Li Bai likes to chase cows after drinking too much, he still has a lot of sense of his swordsmanship and has some hope to fight alone. However, on the battlefield, wearing the dozens of kilograms of armor alone was enough to make him, Du Fu and Yan Zhenqing not have much strength to swing the sword.

"That may not be possible. I can still wear the armor and ride a horse."

Yan Zhenqing whispered from the side, if among the ministers, in the words of the lord, Gundav is their combat power ceiling, then Du Zimei is the bottom, and Yan Zhenqing is ranked second.

Li Bai smiled and said nothing. He could wear Mingguang armor in the army, but after getting on the horse, he would make a decoration. If he really rode a horse, he would kill him. He would never be able to do his best. I, Li Taibai, is no longer the Qinglian Sword Immortal who was scattered in the world back then.
