The Devil City, a castle hidden in the desert, the gathering place of the white dragon pile and the surrounding sand horse thieves and rangers is actually a temporary habitat composed of caves, earthen houses and tents. Generally speaking, evildoers who have no place in the east and west lands are basically concentrated here, relying on the plunder of the Silk Road to survive.

The little devil Lu Long is the largest thief in the White Dragon Pile and the owner of the Devil City. He originally wanted to make this "career" bigger and stronger, and may dominate one side in the future, and become a king. At the very least, he could become a giant businessman. Unexpectedly, a disaster suddenly came from the sky. Tieler people and Pegasus arrived, which not only destroyed his dream, but also put the Devil City in danger. A group of sand horse thieves were even more deadly.

Lu Long was worried and anxious about this. Even at the simple banquet that greeted Galan, he tried Galan repeatedly, hoping that Galan would guide him a path to survival.

"The people of Qiezi are in Sun Valley tonight and arrive at Longcheng tomorrow morning." Jialan put down his wine glass and burped. While wiping his face with a towel, he said slowly, "Qiizizige will definitely fight Longcheng, regardless of the price. Although we convinced the Longcheng guardian Miao Yu to fight with him, there is also a grain transport army coming from Hexi to arrive at Longcheng. Whether it is troops or food and grass weapons, we all hope to persevere until the arrival of reinforcements in Hexi, but on the front line of Qiang

Can the main force of the Yingyang Mansion fighting last until that moment? The Qibi people are already crazy. Qibi Geling bet on the survival of the entire Qibi tribe as a bet, and the Khan of Shekui is attacking Baishan with the Turkic army. Once the Turkic people capture Baishan, the entire Tiel tribes south of Luoman Mountain will fall into a survival crisis. At that moment, Qibi Geling will surely win their support again, and Xue Yantuo's Yishuo Bo will also support it in the direction of Yiwudao. It is conceivable how cruel the battle situation in Longcheng is."

"Everyone is fighting to the death. In order to restore the country, in order to rebuild the glory, in order to survive, the countries of the Western Regions such as Kucha, Yanqi, and Gaochang had to survive. As for us, the Great Sui people, of course, we would not give up our territory easily."

"This winter, all wolves in the Western Land were dispatched to try to snatch prey from our Great Sui people. The key to this battle is in Dragon City, in White Dragon Pile, and in this vast desert, so..."

Jia Lan's eyes swept across the faces of everyone, and finally stopped on Lu Long's worried face. "The final outcome is self-evident. No matter how powerful the tiger is, it is difficult to withstand the attack of the wolves. For Hexi today, the important thing is not to regain Shanshan and Qiemo, not to defend the two important border towns in the west, but to withdraw the army and withdraw the Great Sui people who guard the border. As long as the people are there and the army is there, they can preserve their strength to the greatest extent. Just wait for the wound to be well cared for, and they can make a comeback immediately. On the contrary, if the army is destroyed and the Great Sui people who guard the border are completely wiped out, can they still defend Shanshan and Qiemo? Can they still preserve their existing strength? After receiving the support from Chang'an, they can quickly turn from defense to offense and make a comeback?"

Lu Long and the brothers around him looked at each other speechlessly, with a gloomy expression. However, Ashina Hebao, Dawu and others had no way out, so they could only try their best to take refuge in Hexi with Galan.

Westward Journey and Fu Duanyi and others were thinking. Galan was very pessimistic about the situation in the Westward and Turkish situation. He made it clear that the Sui Dynasty will definitely be defeated this time, and Shanshan and Qiemo will definitely fall, and there is no possibility of salvation. Thinking of the failure of the Eastern Expedition, the emperor was about to launch a second Eastern Expedition, and it is not difficult to imagine Chang'an's strategy against the Western Expedition. The main army is on the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition. What can Chang'an use to deal with the drastic changes in the Western Expedition? Only passive defense, that is, before the Eastern Expedition is victorious, the Hexi army will never be able to expedite the Western Expedition.

Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji were in a complicated mood and bowed their heads to ponder.

Li Shimin did not expect that the situation in the West was so bad. When he thought of the instructions of his elders before leaving, Li Shimin vaguely made a discovery. He felt that he seemed to have seen something, but he could not explain it clearly. I remember that the Chang'an powerful people had completely different opinions on the expedition to Goryeo. It seemed that the powerful people in Guanzhong all opposed it, while the powerful people in Jiangzuo and Shandong all supported it. A few years ago, the emperor made preparations for the eastern expedition. If the results of the Western expedition were all lost and the situation in the Western expedition was very unfavorable to the Great Sui Dynasty, then the Eastern expedition would naturally give up. In this way, the Jiangzuo and Shandong powerful people who supported the Eastern expedition would naturally bear the blame. This was related to the struggle between the power center, and the complexity of the situation was far beyond what a descendant family of aristocratic families could understand.

Changsun Wuji thought of his own destiny. If Shanshan and Qiemo were lost, the first one to bear responsibility was the Honghua left-behind mansion and the Hexi Wei Mansion, and the second one to bear responsibility was the Western Regions Duwei Mansion. The second brother Changsun Heng'an would definitely not escape the blame this time. His father has passed away, and his eldest brother died in the rebellion of King Yang Liang of Han. If the second brother was hit hard again, then the decline of the Changsun clan would be unstoppable.

Han Zuo Yuyi and Qin Shiying were also in this tent. They failed to kill people, but were rescued by the murdered. Jialan deliberately wanted to humiliate them, and they could only endure it. It was not until they heard what Jialan said that they realized that the situation was far worse than they imagined. Lou Guandao was plotted by the barbarians this time and lost completely. What deal did Jialan and Daye Hu Ashinahanhai make? What deal did they make with Mohe Khan Qiegelan? If Jialan had obtained the evidence of Lou Guandao as the behind-the-scenes promoter of the Western Turkish changes, it would be a disaster for Zhongnanshan. Although this disaster may not have shaken the foundation of Lou Guandao, it could cause Lou Guandao to suffer shocking losses in its interests.

Galan's intention is self-evident. Lou Guandao must change its strategy. Whether it is for the monks in the northwest or the interests of the northwest, it must make changes in strategy. In this way, everyone can cooperate. On the contrary, they will fight to the death, fight to the death, and both sides will suffer, and make others lose money.

Qin Shiying immediately made a gesture to Han Zuo Yuyi, signaling her to seize this opportunity.

After Galan appeared, he immediately became a pawn of the plan, a victim, and a scapegoat. No matter how the situation in the West and Turkey changes in the end, it is Galan and a group of old wolves in the northwest. However, the Turks and Tiel people chose to trust him after Galan appeared, which gave Galan a chance to counterattack. Now Galan has taken the initiative and tried to save himself and fulfill his promise to the Turks and Tiel people. Therefore, he needs the support of the Northwest military, Laolang Mansion and Lou Guandao. Since that is the case, why not give a favor? Hello everyone, I will overcome the difficulties together?

Han Zuo Yuyi understood it, and the eyes under the hat turned to Li Shimin involuntarily. The most suitable mediator was undoubtedly Li Erlang.

Lu Long hesitated for a long time and asked, "Galan, how long does it take to bring in the rescue troops to Dunhuang?"

"Don't expect the reinforcements." Galan shook his hand decisively, "The ones who can save you are yourself; the ones who can defend Longcheng are also you."

Lu Long and Ashina He Bao suddenly widened their eyes and their faces looked ugly. Everyone robbed their families and became sand thieves and horse thieves to survive. If they could not even save their lives, the consequences could be imagined and they would definitely scatter and go their separate ways.

Su Hexiang couldn't help it. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Jialan. Anger appeared in her heavy voice, "You went to Dunhuang, but you left us here to fend for yourself..."

"If you can find someone more suitable than me to go to Dunhuang, I will stay."

Su Hexiang took a look at the westward journey, then looked at Fu Duanyi, and finally bit her lip tightly and said nothing.

"There are all my brothers here. If I want to save you, I must rush to Dunhuang immediately." Jialan sighed, "But after I entered the pass, I couldn't help myself." Jialan pointed around, "I can still speak here, but after entering the pass and reaching the Wei Mansion, what am I? I may be able to meet Feng Shuai and Wang Shuai at the first time, but what else can I do next? I may not even be able to get out of the Wei Mansion gate, and may even be directly confined."

This is a big truth. Jialan is neither the secret army of Laolang Mansion nor Pei Shiju's secret messenger. His public identity is an ordinary guard of Qiemo Yingyang Mansion, and the beacon of Tulunchuan beacon. To put it bluntly, he is a deserter. If he wants to see Feng Xiaoci and Wang Wei, the chief and deputy commander of the Hexi Guard Mansion, he must use his personal relationship to send a message first, and then be summoned by Feng Xiaoci and Wang Wei. It is conceivable that in this case, how big is Jialan's return to the Devil City?

"You said you want to take us to Dunhuang and Hexi?" Asina He Bao couldn't help it and shouted loudly.

"So I have to go to Dunhuang now." Jialan smiled bitterly, "If the situation in the West and the Turkish country is normal, you may be able to pretend to be a Hu merchant to obtain a pass certificate and enter the pass one by one, but now the pass is blocked, and even ordinary Hu merchants will find it difficult to enter the pass, let alone you."

"Only the order of Hexi Weifu can make you all enter the pass and go to Dunhuang." He interrupted in time when traveling west, "I believe that since he has gone to Dunhuang, he must be sure."

The little devil frowned and looked gloomy. If Galan was sure, he would not have rushed to Dunhuang in person. It was because he was not sure that he left these brothers behind and rushed to Hexi Wei Mansion for help. Things are in trouble.

"The people's hearts are dispersed, the team is in chaos, the Devil City is over, and the Dragon City is over." Su Hexiang was not polite and said to the point. "Although you and Qie Gelang made a deal and had a tacit understanding, how could he believe you and put all his hopes on you? He will do his best to take down Long City. I want to leave and take my people to Yangguan. Even if I am blocked from the pass, I will never be buried with Long City."

As soon as this statement came out, the little devil and the Fire Fox naturally followed. The Su family of Loulan left, why are the people from Devil City and Ziyuntian staying here? Of course, they escaped together. As for the survival of Longcheng, what does the life and death of Shanshan Yingyang Mansion have to do with them?

Galan remained silent.

Su Hexiang could not ignore the life and death of the Su family, and threatened him. He could understand, but he really couldn't find a suitable countermeasure.

"Brother Jialan, what impact will the fall of Longcheng have on the situation?" Han Zuo Yuyi suddenly asked.

Galan looked at Han Zai gratefully, and at this moment, Jingjue Nuguan stepped forward and helped him a lot.

"Hexi Weifu Palace is very passive. Even if Chang'an takes out a decision in time and sends an imperial edict, he agrees to Qie Ge's begging, allowing the Qiezi people to join the Great Sui Dynasty and temporarily live in Loulan. However, because of the fall of Longcheng and the fall of Shanshan, the situation changes again, and Chang'an's decisions and imperial edicts also lose their effect."

"How long does it take for Brother Dao?" Han Zuo Yuyi asked, "Brother Dao must give you an approximate time."

"If Feng Shuai and Wang Shuai make a quick decision and immediately send an envoy to Longcheng to negotiate with the Qizi people, it will be eight days at the earliest."

"Eight days?" Han Zuo Yuyi pondered for a while, and asked again, "Can Brother Dao come here as an envoy?"

"It's impossible." Galan shook his head helplessly, "If nothing unexpected happens, the messenger should be the chief of the Wei Mansion."

The veil was moved lightly, the black veil was whipped slightly, and the cold veil was thought about it for a moment again, and the ethereal sound came out again, "Asu, can you last for eight days?"

Su Hexiang hesitated for a moment, carefully weighed the pros and cons, and nodded slightly. The Su family of Loulan had broken up in Louguandao. When he went to Dunhuang, even if he was protected by the Hexi Weifu, it would be difficult to avoid Louguandao's revenge. Han Zuo Yuyi gave the Su family a chance. As long as the Su family was willing to help Louguandao guard Longcheng at this moment, the grudges between them might be eased. At least Louguandao would not openly revenge on the Su family, which gave the Su family time to leave the northwest calmly.

"Firefox, you owed a life to the Peacock River back then."

The Firefox's face suddenly turned red, and he was very embarrassed and angry, and said hatefully, "Okay, let's give it back to you, this time I will give it back to you, but I agreed that it will be eight days. In eight days, we will leave."

The black veil was blowing again, and the beautiful laughter of Han Qi Yuyi came from, "Little Devil, the sound of the feathered clothes in Puchang was endless in the sea."

Lu Long looked embarrassed and held his fists as a polite manner, "I was reckless back then. Since Yuyi spoke, how dare we break the promise? Well, within eight days, within eight days, the brothers of the Devil City will be driven by you, but after eight days, these people will not be controlled by us. Please forgive me."

Han Bao Yu Yi bowed to thank him.

"Brother Jialan, before leaving, can Yuyi ask you something?"

Jialan smiled, turned her eyes to Xue Deyin sitting beside her, and whispered, "It's over, sir should make a decision."

"I think that the battle between Yiwudao should have nothing to do with Duke Chu, and even more so with Duke Pushan County."

"Sir, the situation in the West and Turkey has developed to this point, can't you see the key?" Galan leaned into Xue Deyin's ear and his voice was even lower. "It's obvious that only when the West is in chaos will the Eastern Expedition be forced to end and the power struggle of the central government will set off a climax. The Duke of Tang sent Li Erlang to search for Mr. He, was it just because he cooperated with the northwest layout of Louguandao?"

Xue Deyin sighed silently, "Can you still not escape the pursuit of bad luck?"

"With your family's intimate relationship with Yang Su, Duke of Chu, do you think you can escape the pursuit of misfortune?"

Xue Deyin smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Do you have any choice?"

"No choice, it's actually a choice."

Xue Deyin nodded slowly, "In this way, follow Galan's plan."

Jialan reached out and patted Xue Deyin on the back, then smiled at Li Shimin, and nodded to Hanba Feather Clothes, saying, "I've given it to you, but before entering the pass, I must return the sir unharmed to me."
