The atmosphere in the room was a little awkward for a moment. Gao Xianzhi rubbed his palms to hide the panic in his heart. He had never been as helpless as he is now, as confused as he is now. In Gao Xianzhi's heart, Li Kuo was just a chess piece he used, while Duan Xiushi was his arm, even his brother.

Now this brother is going to leave him, even Gao Xianzhi, who is as cold as ice, cannot accept it.

"Let's talk about this. Senior General Suomin is an old horse in the stable and has ambitions. If you let him retire so early, he is still not idle yet? In my opinion, he always wants to eat imperial grain for a few more years, so don't be so anxious to 'snatch the throne'."

Although he said this half-jokingly, it did not receive the expected results. Duan Xiushi only responded in a deep voice and stopped talking.

Gao Xianzhi's face was a little heavy. He wanted to talk about some relaxed topics but found that no matter what he talked about at this time, it would make both sides even more embarrassed.

Just as the two of them were waiting for each other to speak first, they suddenly remembered the sound of rapid footsteps outside the house.

"Supervisor Gao, Anxi urgently reported, Anxi urgently reported!"

Hearing the rapid gasp of the personal soldier, Gao Xianzhi subconsciously frowned: "Come in!"

The personal soldier stumbled into the house, knelt on one knee and presented a handbook to Gao Xianzhi: "Ship Gao, this is a secret letter just sent from the east. Beizhi sent it to you without delaying it for a moment."

"Yes." Gao Xianzhi responded softly and took the secret letter and pulled it out of the letter.

Gao Xianzhi became more and more shocked as she looked at her. In the end, her face turned pale. His teeth trembled slightly and said, "Is everything said above true?"

The personal soldier was doing a letter delivery job, but he didn't know what the news was true or false, so he kowtowed and said, "I have never opened the envelope, I don't know whether it is true or false. However, this was sent by General Bai Yuanguang, so there should be no false."

After hearing this, Gao Xianzhi fell onto the bench and exclaimed: "Heaven will destroy me, God will destroy me!"

Seeing Gao Xianzhi's disobedience, Duan Xiushi hurriedly asked, "What happened to Gao Shuai?" In his impression, Gao Shuai has always been serious and unsuspecting in the face of changes. Even when he attacked Xiao Bolu, he was not as disobedience as he was today when he led his army to raid from the Bing Peak. It seems that the current situation is indeed extremely dangerous.

"You can see it yourself!" Gao Xianzhi shook his head and handed the letter to Duan Xiushi. Duan Xiushi was confused and took the letter and stretched it slightly.

There are only a few words on the entire letter, but it can definitely knock people into the ice cave.

"The Broken Leaf Mutiny, the city changes hands, I hope to return quickly!"

Duan Xiushi certainly means what this news means. Sailye City is a must for everyone to return to the east. This is also the reason why Gao Shule commander Li Kuo to lead Tianwei Jianer to suppress Sailye while leading his army to Talas.

He is leaving room for the army! As long as the Suoye City is in the hands of the Anxi Army, everyone can evacuate from the four Anxi towns without any speed. But now the Suoye mutiny has caused everyone's retreat to be cut off. If there is any delay, when the cannibals lead their troops to advance eastward, everyone will have no way to die.

The thunder rider is so cruel!

Gao Xianzhi sighed in his heart. At first, Tuhuo's obedience to him was nothing more than to win the support of the Tang army in Anxi to capture Shuye City. After seizing Shuye, his attitude towards Shuye City and Tuqi Shiren undoubtedly aroused Tuhuo's heart. After his defeat in Talas, he certainly wanted to seek opportunities to revenge.

Haha, this is all human nature. Hu Er is a group of ungrateful wolves who cannot feed him. No matter how much you give him, it will not be as good as his growing greed**.

"Supervisor, we can't delay in Julan City at the moment. There is still a big chance to return to Anxi earlier. If the big cannibal troops arrive at the city, it will be too late."

Seeing Gao Xianzhi silent, Duan Xiushi hurriedly advised: "Shishou Gao, don't hesitate anymore, give orders quickly!"

"Gao Shuai, Gao Shuai, please give orders quickly!"

Gao Xianzhi was about to say something, but suddenly another personal soldier rushed into the room and cried: "Super Gao, the big cannibal is here, the big cannibal has surrounded the city of Julan!"

Boom!

Gao Xianzhi's last tower of faith collapsed, and Anxi Daduguard vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted for a moment.

The palace of Julan City was in chaos for a while. The residence of Gao Xianzhi, the large capital of Anxi, surrounded a group of Anxi generals. The king of Julan, Li Huaizhong and his confidant were also present, showing a worried look.

After the preliminary diagnosis of the imperial physician of the Julan Kingdom, Gao Xianzhi was furious and furious, causing the qi and blood to rush up and faint, which was nothing serious. Although he said this, Gao Xianzhi did not wake up for a moment, and the Anxi general could not let go of his heart. Now that the cannibalism is siege, Gao Shuai fell ill again as the backbone of everyone. At this critical moment, Gao Shuai's safety is extremely critical. How can everyone not be anxious?

Just after the imperial doctor rushed to the generals present to explain countless times, Gao Xianzhi finally opened his eyes.

"Water, water!"

It seemed that a mouthful of blood phlegm was stuck in his throat, and his voice was extremely weak.

Duan Xiushi quickly delivered a cup of clear water to the bedside and said, "Super Gao, drink slowly, it's not important to have a group of big-food barbarians. Now, our newly recruited soldiers can be put into battle, and their strength is no less than that of big-food people. What's more, we are defending the city and the Lord of Ju Lan will help you! Is that true, Lord Li?"

Duan Xiushi glared at Li Huaizhong fiercely and signaled that the other party would be smarter.

Li Huaizhong subconsciously took a step back and smiled with a brilliant smile: "Look at what you said, I, the Kingdom of Julan, is a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. I should give my best help in times of crisis."

Gao Xianzhi took a sip of clear water, waved his hand and said, "You don't need to comfort me. I have never seen any scenes in my life, so I can still bear this pressure."

"Hey, hey, as long as you can open it, just open it!"

Duan Xiushi only realized that no matter how awkward he and Gao Shuai were, no one could leave anyone and no one could let go of anyone in times of crisis!

"What's the specific situation? How many people have arrived at the cannibal? Do you carry siege equipment?"

Gao Xianzhi leaned slightly with Duan Xiushi's support and asked carefully. After all, he was the commander of the first army and he considered very comprehensively. Every question was asked on key points.

Li Kuo stepped forward a few steps and said, "Reporting to the scouts, according to the preliminary estimates of the scouts, there were about 30,000 people, including 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantrymen. Judging from the current situation, they did not carry large-scale siege equipment."

The enemy situation was the first to discover. When he found that the dark army of Dashi Army was advancing to the city, he immediately sent Xian Yu Yucheng and other scout camp generals to investigate the specific strength of Dashi Ren. Judging from the news brought back by Xian Yu Yucheng, the number of Dashi Ren was not large, only 30,000. The size of Julan City and Talas City was similar, and the height of the city wall was similar. The Dashi Ren came to Julan City without siege equipment, so he could only siege the city. The army in the city was sufficient, and even if he was defending his life, everyone could guard it for a year and a half.

So he was not very worried. As long as Gao Shuai remained calm and made the correct arrangements, the cannibal would not have the chance to break the city at all.

The young man had already come out of the shadow of arguing with Gao Xianzhi. What he is most concerned about now is how to retreat to the enemy. As for those personal grudges, they can be put aside for the time being.

Gao Xianzhi didn't expect that Li Kuo would reply. He was stunned at first, then smiled and said, "It's good that this is good. It seems that Abu Muslims are not sure that they can take down Julan City."

As things have reached this point, there is naturally no need to cover up in front of Li Huaizhong, the king of the Julan Kingdom. In fact, since the Anxi Army entered Julan City, Li Huaizhong's interests have been closely tied to everyone, prospering and losing!

The old saying goes well, it is easy to ask God to send God to God. Even if that guy regrets it at this moment, how can he say to the soldiers of the Tang army in nearly ten thousand people?

"In this case, they want to trap us." Gao Xianzhi sighed and told Abu Muslim's intentions in one sentence. At any time, it is difficult for 30,000 troops to capture a strong city without the assistance of any large-scale siege equipment, but it is enough to cut off the connection between a city and the surrounding areas.

As long as they surround Julan City tightly and do not give everyone a chance to break through, they will sooner or later force everyone to collapse and go crazy. If they use some tricks in the siege and make everyone differentiate themselves, it will be really difficult for everyone.

As for the issue of food and grass, the big cannibals don’t need to worry at all. Now that the autumn harvest has just been completed, the village is full of corn and wheat. The big cannibals only need to send a team of cavalry to loot the army’s rations for half a year.

After all, a great cannibal can do anything, and it is tantamount to seeking good deeds from the people of Hu.

If you continue to waste this, everyone will definitely collapse in the end!
