Xizhou.

There are more than 32,000 soldiers from the Western Regions stationed in Xizhou. It is interesting to say that a month ago, after the Western Regions suddenly increased their troops in Xizhou, they took the initiative to send envoys to Wuzhou and gave Li Xun an explanation. The previous Tubo army took a small path to bypass the Western Regions, raided Wuzhou, and increased troops in Xizhou, both for their own safety and for the safety of Wuzhou.

If Li Xun hadn't understood the inside story, he might have been deceived by these sweet words.

In this regard, Li Xun showed an understanding and gratitude attitude, and gave some money and grain to the Xizhou garrison to paralyze the other party.

At the same time, the request for reopening trade channels proposed by the Western Regions was politely rejected by Li Xun, delaying time. Li Xun knew the other party’s thoughts and used the purpose of trade to explore the truth and reality of Wuzhou. Just now, 50,000 troops arrived in Wuzhou, and Li Xun must not let the other party know.

Xizhou Governor's Office, at night.

The Governor's Office was holding a grand banquet at this time, and almost all the civil and military officials from all over the Xizhou Province came.

A big banquet like this is no longer a time. In just one month, it takes one to have it every three days, and everyone is still calm in the glorious victory.

Chen Tu, who was sitting behind the military officer on the left, glanced around. When he saw the young man who was sitting, he suddenly felt a sneer and disdain on his face.

The governor of Xizhou is called Zhan Heng, who is the younger brother of Prince Anshu Zhan Bo.

In the Western Regions, because of the numerous countries and the land was scattered, there was no such position as the governor. After Zhan Bai led the Western Regions to defeat the Dashi Empire, he relied on the military power in his hands and his own prestige to set up governor positions in two important areas and stationed a large number of troops. They all took on the heavy responsibility of their own blood relatives and confidants and firmly grasped the power in their own hands. This is a very important step for Zhan Bai to move towards hegemony.

Zhan Heng has just reached twenty this year. He has no prestige and no ability. The reason why he can take on important responsibilities is because he is Zhan Bai's younger brother. It is just such a relationship that he has mastered the military and political power of three or four small Western countries in a radius, including Xizhou.

Although many people don’t say it, they are extremely dissatisfied. Chen Tu is one of them. He made great contributions several times in the war against the Dashi Empire. However, because he was a Han and a foreigner, he was always rejected and prevented by most people. Compared with the contributions made by Chen Tu, it is obviously not enough to give him a general position.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Tu was resentful and moved by Fan Zhongyun's righteousness that he finally decided to turn against him.

Perhaps feeling Chen Tu's gaze, Zhan Heng looked at Chen Tu, and his face suddenly had a very obvious look of contempt. He raised his glass and laughed: "General Chen, it is said that you are a genius of cultural relics. Today everyone is happy, why not come out to dance a sword to cheer up?"

Hearing this, most of the people present laughed, raised their glasses, shouted Chen Tu's name, and asked him to come out to dance with his sword.

Chen Tu clenched his fists, his heart full of anger, but there was no movement on his face. He stood up crookedly and said in a confused manner: "I...I'll dance the sword."

Chen Tu couldn't even hold the sword firmly, so he stood up and used it in a few moments, and even fell directly to the ground, he couldn't get up.

Seeing Chen Tu's appearance, a burst of laughter broke out again on the scene. Zhan Heng looked at Chen Tu on the ground with disdain and waved his hand: "General Chen is drunk, please help him down."

Zhan Bo once told Zhan Heng that his intentions would be different if he was not of my race. After arriving in Xizhou, if he had the chance, he would immediately remove Chen Tu's military power. However, Chen Tu was very respectful to Zhan Heng and even his favorite concubine gave him away. Zhan Heng did not act for a moment due to face. However, for Chen Tu, Zhan Heng felt that it was better to meet than to be famous. It was too trash and not worth mentioning, and it would not be too late to take action later.

Two personal soldiers stepped forward to help Chen Tu leave quickly. Chen Tu shook the sword in his hand and muttered, "Don't understand me, I want to be happy for the Governor."

When everyone saw Chen Tu's appearance, they burst into laughter, but not everyone was a fool. Among them, there was a middle-aged general who had a share in the war with the Dashi Empire for several years. On the battlefield, he had seen Chen Tu's power and saw through it at a glance, knowing that Chen Tu was pretending.

The middle-aged general walked up to Zhan Heng and whispered something. Zhan Heng looked at him in surprise, then placed the wine glass heavily on the table, and said hatefully: "This man, how dare you lie to me, I will definitely not forgive him."

The middle-aged general hurriedly said, "Send someone to detain him and punish him again."

Zhan Heng waved his hand: "Let's talk about it tomorrow, Chen Tu can't run out of my palm."

Zhan Heng was in a hurry at this moment and didn't want to let go of things. Moreover, he felt that this is Xizhou, and he was the biggest, where else could Chen Tu go?

The middle-aged general said anxiously: "I'm afraid that it will change if I'm late!"

Zhan Heng seemed to have not heard the middle-aged general's persuasion. He hugged the beauty beside him, put his hands on him, laughed loudly, and was so happy.

Seeing this, the middle-aged general shook his head and sighed, and had to retreat.

After leaving the Governor's Mansion and getting on the carriage, Chen Tu still looked like he was really drunk. When the soldiers on both sides saw it, they were stunned. But they knew the amount of alcohol in their generals. What is this amount of alcohol?

After returning home and entering the house, Chen Tu pushed away and supported his personal soldiers on the left and right, and ordered to the personal soldiers on the left: "Thank you a few smart people to go out to investigate, see that Zhan Hengke has sent someone to follow him, go and go back quickly."

"Yes, General."

The personal soldiers took the order and left.

Chen Tu said to the personal soldiers on the right again: "Ask everyone to gather in the front yard immediately and don't bring anything except weapons."

"Yes, General."

After giving the order, Chen Tu looked up at the dark sky, and a sneer appeared on his face.

Direction of Wuzhou.

Hundreds of cavalry rushed out of the city gate, and Li Xun was the leader.

Li Xun stopped the horse and looked back. On the city tower, a rotten head was floating there.

That was Cai Cheng's head. After the city broke through, he did not leave, but was drunk and did not wake up. Li Zhong did not want to kill him at first, but Zhao Zhi hated him quite a lot and issued a secret order to capture Cai Cheng, dismember his five horses and corpses everywhere to serve as a warning. His head was sent to Wuzhou and hung high above the city tower. It has been more than 20 days since then.

Li Xun said indifferently: "If you die, your enemies will disappear, let them be buried in peace."

Hou Quan, who was standing beside him, nodded and asked a soldier to go and deal with it.

Afterwards, Li Xun rode his horse forward. After half an hour, he arrived at the Mulang River. Hundreds of ships and 55,000 troops had already gathered here.

"See the Grand Marshal."

When Shan Qiu and more than ten senior generals saw Li Xun coming, they all came to pay their respects.
