"Has the Geluo people offended you? You seem to be particularly disliked." According to Zhang Qian's suggestion, he drove away Geluo's external minister so lazy, and Niu Shizhuo asked with confusion.

In his impression, Zhang Qian has always been a very kind person and rarely leaves a way out for his opponents when doing things. This has been fully proven in both the things he did in Chang'an and the recent handling of Shiguo Special Forces Yihu. However, for some reason, he actually regarded the Geluo people who took the initiative to come and serve as a enemy?

Of course, the veteran general was also impressed by Zhang Qian's record of sneaking into Yezhi City at snowy night, killing Soge and setting fire to burn Talas City into white land. However, the veteran general did not witness these two battles with his own eyes, and only saw the subsequent battle reports. Therefore, he did not think that Zhang Qian's heart was so cold. Especially the veteran general's experience, the 1978th ​​was because the fire burned too much when siege the city and lost control, so it was definitely not done by Zhang Qian.

"I guess I'm interested in the property of the Chengzong and Elders Gelulu." Guo Hong, the guard of Shule, muttered secretly in his stomach, but was unwilling to speak out on his own initiative, exposing the illusion in Niu Shizhu's eyes.

Whether it was his experience of fighting side by side with Zhang Qian last year or the news that Shule was transmitted from Shiguo some time ago, he clearly told him that Zhang Xingjun Chief is not a broad-minded person. If he offended this person, the best result would be to lose everything.

"Yong Zhao is worried about Geluo people. On the surface, he said he would help us with the war, but secretly went to inform Turkic Khan Mo Chuan!" Wei Bo, the governor of the Khotan, was not familiar with Zhang Qian, but he intended to bring the relationship between the two sides closer. Before Zhang Qian gave an explanation, he took the initiative to make excuses for him. "Our military strength is too weak, and Mo Chuan cannot easily let Mo Chuan find out the truth. Therefore, he would just drive Geluo people away, so as not to act as spies for the Turkic people."

"Wei Zhenshou is right, I am really worried that the Geluo people stay by my side, especially when we fight against the Turks." Zhang Qian couldn't explain clearly, and the origin of his disgust towards the Geluo people, and immediately got a thought when he heard Wei Bo's words.

He glancing at Wei Bo gratefully, he quickly turned his gaze back to Niu Shizhuo and bowed with a smile: "In addition, I am also worried that they would suddenly collude with the Turks at critical moments and fight us against us. If there is a first time, there will definitely be a second time for betrayal. Last spring, he could let the Turkic soldiers directly kill the city of Suiye. This time, it is not possible to use the same trick again, and even join forces with the Turks at critical moments."

"Indeed, the capricious people of Geluo are famous for their volatility, and I have heard of it for a long time." Since I took the initiative to show my goodwill, I should do it to the end. Wei Bo immediately took the conversation and testified loudly. "Many brothers under my command have said that when I drink with the Geluo people, my hands cannot leave the hilt of the knife. Otherwise, the next moment, he will raise his knife to chop your head because of his greed for your saddle."

"There are similar rumors on Shule. I would rather face the wild wolf alone than walk with the Geluo people." I found that Wei Bo was showing kindness to Zhang Qian, and Guo Hong did not want to be excluded from the circle. He smiled and helped him out. (Note: Not a fabrication, ancient books record that the Geluo people made a living by grazing and robbing.)

With the cooperation of the two of them, Zhang Qian's words immediately became more convincing. Niu Shizhao, the head coach, immediately put away his smile and Zheng pointed at the head, "Since the three of them are not at ease to leave the Geluo people beside him, I will be a villain and follow Chengzong to calculate the old accounts of last year! However, in this way, our army must leave a small team of soldiers and horses to guard the situation near Xuanchi. In order to prevent the Geluo people from fleeing without fighting, and when our army is like going east, we will turn back to capture our army's retreat."

"I don't want to give Chengzong a chance to escape." Zhang Qian took the conversation and bowed to Niu Shizhuo again. "The advice of the subordinates is to either not fight or be defeated at once. No matter who is the chief, the Geluo people dare not have the idea of ​​rebelling against the Tang Dynasty. In addition, our army has just arrived, and has lacked the experience of fighting with various divisions outside the territory, and their previous cooperation is far from being proficient. They just took the Geluo troops to practice!"

"You mean, you want to fight? Instead of driving Chengzong away from the Xuanchi?" I could have vaguely felt that Zhang Qian had a murderous intention to be a slaughtered at the Geluo people, but he did not expect that the murderous intention was so strong. Niu Shizhao instinctively asked.

"Main capital's eyes are like torches, and their subordinates do have such plans!" Zhang Qian did not hide his thoughts and nodded vigorously. "It is best to be able to plow the courtyard and sweep the acupoints. Even if you can't, at least you have to use the fate of the Geluo people to warn the surrounding departments not to cause trouble on their own initiative!"

In his only historical knowledge, the three words "Gelu" are as clear as Talas!

In the Battle of Talas in another time and space, the Geluo tribe won the reward of the cannibal with a backstop to the Anxi Army and made a fortune. Subsequently, the tribe stole the Sai Ye for four centuries and repeatedly cheated his teammates. Until finally, the tribe was forcibly "demolitioned" by the angry Western Liao elites because of their treason.

For such players who specialize in cheating their teammates, even if they do not have the evidence of back-stinging Anxi Army in another time and space, Zhang Qian dared not let them stay by their side. What's more, while sending envoys to play "Shan Gao Rewards" while threatening through the envoy's mouth, implying that he is already preparing for war?

Defeating Geluo would definitely be beneficial to the Anxi Army at present without any harm. First of all, as he said, the Anxi Army needs to find an opponent with weaker strength than the Turks to train troops.

Secondly, as he had worried before, Ge Luolu was capricious and if he stabbed him in the back at a critical moment, it would put Anxi Army in a very unfavorable situation, and even lose a lot.

Finally, we must kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

Next, the Anxi Army not only had to face Geluo, but also the Xiagas, Basimi and Uighur tribes in the northern desert. If the Anxi Army did not show its strength to crush the tribes into powder as soon as possible, no one could guarantee whether the other tribes would suddenly send troops to help the Turks because of their "death of lips and cold teeth".

"If you want to establish your authority with the Geluo Division, you need to make careful plans!" Niu Shizhao deserves to be a veteran of the hundred battles. After a little thought, he understood all Zhang Qian's plans. Then, he smiled and nodded, "Yang Zhao said just now, he doesn't want to give Chengzong a chance to escape. Do you already have a good idea in your heart?!"

"Not yet." Zhang Qian smiled and shook his head modestly, "It was just that just now I secretly sent Brother Deli to follow Duolan and his confidants around me, and asked the brothers to leave marks along the way. Duolan was scared by the power of the explosion of gunpowder bullets and would definitely go to Chengzong to warn him as quickly as possible. Our people can find the shortest way to Xuanchi if they follow him."

"You mean, if the surprise attacks, capture the king first by capturing the thief!" Niu Shizhuo's eyes lit up, and he immediately guessed Zhang Qian's intention.

"It's just an immature idea. The specific one must be decided by the Grand Protector!" Zhang Qian bowed to Niu Shizhuo and asked for advice humbly. "What I can think of now is to send a surprise soldier to take the lives of Chengzong and the nobles of Gelulu around him. In this way, the shepherds of Gelulu who were flattered to the Xuanchi gathering will inevitably fall into a state of no leader. At that time, the soldiers and horses of our army's fourth battalions will crush him together and give him a mountain to press the top..."

"Join the army and prepare for the map!" Before Zhang Qian finished speaking, Niu Shizhuo gave decisive instructions.

"Yes!" Lai Yao, the middle-aged soldier, agreed loudly and led four civil servants in a hurry. Then, a huge cowhide was unfolded on the ground in front of Niu Shizeng.

The geographical situation near Jinshan was burned with a soldering iron on the cowhide. As the ancestral home of the Geluo people, the location of Xuanchi was extremely conspicuous.

"When I am lazy, I will drive cattle and sheep together. The daily itinerary cannot exceed forty miles." Niu Shizhao has extremely rich experience. He squatted beside the map, lit up the position of Xuanchi with his hands, and slowly moved to the southwest. "Have he said, how many days did he use it on the road?"

"Five days!" Zhang Qian, Guo Hong and Wei Bo answered in unison. Then, he looked at each other, and his face showed a knowing smile.

"It counts two hundred miles!" Niu Shizhao performed more professionally than anyone else. He smiled and poked the cowhide map with his finger. "He didn't lie. We are in this position now, and we should be almost two hundred miles away from Xuanchi. If he spared no effort and horsepower to warn Chengzong, he would be able to turn back at least one day and a half."

"Mobei Horse is not tall enough, but it has always been known for its endurance." Guo Hong also squatted down and gestured on the map while responding, "In a day and a half, you can pick up Chengzong if you are lazy. If the Chengzong sect convened the young and strong tribes of each tribe and the lazy ones at the same time, the only ones that can get through now should be a few tribes west of Jinshan. Each tribe is estimated based on two hundred young and strong..." :(/

"It shouldn't be that much!" Although Wei Bo came to Anxi for a short time, his eyes were not dark. He squatted down and shook his head to interrupt, "Xia is the season for the shepherds to fatten the animals. If the distance between each department is too close, he will fight for the grassland. Therefore, it is normal for each department to be one every fifty miles. After receiving the convening order, he decided to order the help. It will be difficult to form in less than ten days."

"It's better to be more lenient to the enemy!" Niu Shizhao looked at Wei Bo in surprise and made a decision with a smile, "Any tribes within three hundred miles can obey his call. Each tribe has 200 young and strong. So far, he has summoned no more than four thousand helpers. And his troops directly under his headquarters, and anyone who can pick up weapons should be more than seven thousand."

"Well! Most protectors have a sharp eye like a torch!" Wei Bo and Guo Hong nodded admirably, and then they all began to frown and ponder.

Ten thousand people are the limit of the troops in the hands of Chengzong of Geluo Khan. If you want to kill Chengzong cleanly and neatly, the Tang army should not have less than two thousand people to attack.

These two thousand brothers need to follow the traces left by Dulai and run for 200 miles, and can also ensure that they have enough physical strength to fight, which is really a bit high. And once the sneak attack fails, everyone will face the crazy counterattack of the Geluo people. It is even possible that they will fall into a catastrophe before the main force arrives!

"The Great Protector, the general has a teaching group, a personal army group, and the elite troops who are in charge of contact." Just as the two of them were looking forward, Zhang Qian had already volunteered, "They are enough to take on the mission of rushing to the tiger's den. Therefore, the general is brave..."

"No!" Niu Shizhao didn't even give Zhang Qian the chance to finish his words, and shook his head decisively refused. "Since ancient times, there has been no saying that the marching commander led troops to raid the enemy's nest! As long as I am in the position of Anxi Grand Captain for one day, you can't even think about taking risks."

"The General of the Imperial Consent!" As if he had known this result, Zhang Qian smiled and bowed, "The General of the Imperial Consort can recommend one person to take on this important task. He is a beloved general under Zhang Renyuan, brave and good at fighting, and has rich experience. The General of the Imperial Consort is ready to hand over all the three brothers to him to take the head of Chengzong. Please forgive me!"
