Accompanied by Shi Penglai, Zhaowu Qu Shuzhi walked into Jialan's tent with concern.

He wanted to hide his traces and keep a low profile, but from Tianma Shu to Ziyuntian, he was repeatedly in danger of life and death and had to show up. As a result, he became a remarkable figure in this camel fleet. The Great Sui people and Ziyuntian thieves paid special attention to him, and the Li Te people in various caravans even had various speculations about him.

The Khan of Shekui would not give up his pursuit and let him go to the East Tu to ask for help from the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and the Black Turks would not only send all the pursuers. If nothing unexpected happens, the Black Turks who were chasing from the north of the Silk Road were flying to Loulan and Dunhuang. These two places are the intersection of the Silk Road and are the only way to enter the East Tu. As long as a net is set up in these two places, the Zhaowu Qushu branch will be unable to fly.

It can be imagined that when the thief of Ziyuntian and these caravans arrive in Loulan, the Black Turks will definitely be able to find out about him through various channels. His identity as a fugitive prince in Kang State will be exposed sooner or later, and the only one who can save his life and escort him safely to Chang'an is the only one who can safely protect his life and escort him safely. But the problem is that in the face of today's severe situation in the Western Land, the Great Sui people must modify the Western Land strategy. Will the modified strategy be beneficial to him or not? If the Great Sui people do not intend to interfere in the internal affairs of the Western Turks, or even intend to protect or accommodate the Shekui Khan, then the fate of the Zhaowu Qu Shuzhi can be imagined.

If Galan doesn't look for him, he will also look for Galan. Whether it is the situation or time, it is becoming more and more urgent for him.

Qu Shuzhi and Shi Penglai smelled a faint smell of herbs before they even entered the tent. When they saw Jialan lying on the felt bed, his face was pale, and his heart suddenly became nervous.

"Are you injured?" Shi Penglai asked hurriedly.

"The old injury recurs, just take a few doses of medicine, it's okay." Jialan waved and asked the two to sit down.

Qu Shuzhi became more and more uneasy. If a strong warrior like Galan was injured, it would not be a minor injury, and it would definitely be more serious. If Galan was injured, his safety would be even less guaranteed.

Qu Shuzhi saw Xueer snuggling beside Blizzard and wanted to hug her, but he was afraid of Blizzard. He was hesitating, but he saw Xueer walking towards him. Qu Shuzhi leaned over and picked up Xueer. Although Xueer's eyes remained unfamiliar with Blizzard for a moment, his hands obediently hugged Qu Shuzhi's neck. Qu Shuzhi was secretly surprised. It seemed that the snow mastiff was indeed helpful in curing his sister's illness. If he had the chance, he would have to get a snow mastiff for his sister at any cost.

"It's Laogalan." Qu Zhuzhi sat down with Xueer in his arms and said apologetically, "If I knew you were injured, I should have taken Xueer away last night."

"It's okay." Jialan shook his hand and looked at Shi Penglai, "A little later, the Lord of Tianma Shu led the camel team to go first, and I will follow."

Qu Shuzhi and Shi Penglai knew very well and knew what Jialan was worried about, but they were not concerned about the caravan's property, so Shi Penglai immediately asked, "Jialan, what should I do after I arrived in Shanshan? Go directly to Peacock River and to Loulan Ancient City?"

"This is what I want to say." Jia Lan frowned and said, "Just just now, the two garrison masters of Tianma Shu, as well as the Western Regions Duwei Mansion, mentioned the third prince's matter. Everyone found it difficult to deal with it. No one dared to be sure what changes will happen to the Western Regions Duwei Mansion after the capture of Achai Lu."

Shi Penglai stroking his beard and silent. He understood Galan's personality. Since Galan took the initiative to talk to them about this matter and took the initiative to take it over, there must be a solution. He liked Galan's ancient heart the most, and he knew that Galan would not let go. Thinking of his previous doubts that Galan might not be willing to get involved in this matter, he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed. Galan has indeed grown up, but he has not changed, and he is still the same Galan who is righteous.

"In your opinion, what changes will the Western Regions Duwei Mansion make in the Western Regions strategy?" Qu Shuzhi asked calmly, "Is it good for me or not?"

"Unfavorable." Galan did not shy away and told him bluntly.

The suffocation of Qu Shuzhi felt suffocating, and his breathing became involuntarily rapid.

Jialan continued, "Previously, the Shekuk Khan of the Western Turks defeated the Nijuechuluo Khan with the support of the Great Sui people, forcing the Nijuechuluo Khan to go east to Chang'an, and the Western Turks split. However, the Shekuk Khan, located west of the Pamir Mountains, was not a short-sighted, barbaric and despicable person. On the contrary, this person has a lofty ambition and intends to unify the Western land and rebuild the glorious cause of his ancestor Ashina's secrets."

"For this reason, he took the initiative to show his kindness to Chang'an and begged Chang'an to agree to his marriage in order to get the support of my Great Sui Dynasty. Chang'an said that as long as you defeat Nijuechuluo Khan, you will marry your royal family and form a alliance between Qin and Jin. Chang'an intends to provoke civil strife among the Turks and split the Western Turks. Shekui Khan took advantage of the aggression of the Great Sui Dynasty against Nijuechuluo Khan, and used the Tielite people's rebellion against Nijuechuluo Khan, and took the opportunity to attack and defeat Nijuechuluo Khan."

"After Nijuechuluo Khan was forced to go east to Chang'an, the Western Turks were divided into three, among which Shekui Khan was the strongest, which created the opportunity for him to conquer the enemy and unify the Western territory."

"The Shibi Khan of the *** state did not want to see the Western Turks unification again. The Tiel people rebelled, but now the Tiel people's Mohe Khan not only received the support of the ** state's Shibi Khan, but also received the support of Kucha, Yanqi, Gaochang and other countries. Therefore, in the next few years, the war between Luomanshan (Tianshan) will continue to continue."

"This led to the great Sui Dynasty having to deploy heavy troops between Shanshan and Dunhuang to ensure that the interests of the eastern section of the Silk Road are not lost, and to continue to maintain deterrence to the countries in the Western Regions and to curb the extension of ** forces to the Western Regions."

"The change in this strategy directly led to the reduction of Qiemo's garrison power in the Great Sui Dynasty, which was greatly reduced in terms of military strength and financial support. Murong Fuyun, a Busaber Khan of Tuyuhun, took advantage of this opportunity to attack Qiemo with his army and intend to restore the country."

"It's lost. According to our estimates, Hexi will not draw heavy troops south in the short term, nor will it cost heavy capital. It will travel nearly 3,000 miles to fight Achai Lu."

Qu Shuzhi understood that today's situation in the Western Turks was planned by the Sui people a few years ago, to let the Western Turks kill each other, let the Turks and Tielite people fight each other, and to cause the Western countries to suffer wars. Recalling that earlier, the Tielite people attacked Tuyuhun with the support of the Sui people, severely injured Tuyuhun, and eventually led to the fall of Tuyuhun in the hands of the Sui people, we can clearly see that the Western Turks strategy of the Sui people was to provoke the Western Turks to fight each other, constantly consume and weaken the strength of the captives, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman.

After the Great Sui people destroyed Tuyuhun, one foot was extended into the Western Regions. Now the Tuyuhun people have made a comeback. The Great Sui people immediately took back half of their foot, allowing the Tuyuhun people to jump out, and they are involved in fierce disputes in the Western Land, and then use a knife to kill people. This will not only kill Tuyuhun's remaining power without bloodshed, but also further consume the Western Turks and Tiel people.

In this case, will the Great Sui people interfere in the internal affairs of the Western Turks? Will they rescue the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu? Obviously, they will not. Even if they want to rescue them, it will be a few years later when the situation in the Western Turks becomes clear. At that time, the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu may have been divided, and the Li Te people have become a mess and are about to lose.

"Galan, in this way, in order to maintain the relationship with the Khan of Shekui, the Western Regions may reject the third prince's plea to go east to Chang'an." Shi Penglai's eyes were disappointed.

"I'm afraid it's more than just a rejection," said Galan. "Based on my guess, the Western Regions Commander's Office will most likely hand over the third prince to the Turks in secret."

Qu Shuzhi looked depressed, hugged Xue'er tightly in his arms, lowered his head, and said nothing.

Shi Penglai stroked his long beard with his hand, thought for a moment, and asked, "Galan, is there a way to save it?"

"have."

Qu Shuzhi suddenly raised his head, his eyes showing expectation.

"Our Great Sui Dynasty has a defensive strategy, and the Western Land's barbarians also have a survival plan. In today's Western Land, the survival crisis of Tiel people is the strongest. If Mohe Khan wants to block the unified pace of Yushekui Khan, he must win the support of our Great Sui Dynasty, **, and Kucha, Yanqi and other Western Regions countries. If the Busaber Khan in Tuyuhun wants to restore the country, he must win the support of the Western Land's barbarians."

Jialan said calmly and said in a casual manner, "The change in the situation in the Qiemo changed the situation in the West and Tuyuhun people swept away the decline and won the initiative. However, the Sui people were passive due to internal and external difficulties, and there were variables here."

"If the Western Tumen are a group of evil wolves on this land, then I, the Great Sui Dynasty, are a tiger lying on the edge of the Western Tumen. This tiger is eyeing the Western Tumen wolves, making the Western Tumen wolves feel like a ray of light on their backs and unable to sleep or eat. Tuguhun's destruction of the country and the destruction of the Mud Juejue Luo Khan is a living example. Whether it is the Western Turkic Khan, the Tielerite Mohe Khan, or the Tuguhun's Busaber Khan, they do not want to be the fresh and tender fat meat in the tiger's mouth, so the Western Tumen wolves will take advantage of this rare opportunity in front of them to unite the Great Sui Dynasty and drive the Great Sui Dynasty out of the Western Tumen."

"Obviously, the best way to drive away this tiger is to help the Tuyuhun people capture Shanshan, and then drive the Sui people back to Dunhuang, allowing the Tuyuhun people to fight bloody battles with the Sui people. This will win a barrier for the Turks, Tiel people and the Western Tu countries, and at the same time, it will also give the Shekui Khan and Mohe Khan a sufficient time to compete for the Western Turks."

"The people of the Great Sui Dynasty do not want to see a hegemony or a wolf king appear in the Western Land. This is a huge threat to the security of the Eastern Land. Therefore, the Western Regions Duwei Mansion will destroy the alliance between the Western Land and the Western Land and the best way to destroy the alliance between the Western Land and the Western Land is to kill people to establish authority. Whoever dares to betray the Great Sui Dynasty and dares to attack the Great Sui Dynasty, then kill whoever is to warn those who are ready to move, and not try to irritate the tiger, otherwise the price will be heavy."

Qu Shuzhi and Shi Penglai looked at each other, and a hint of chill flashed through their eyes.

The Northwest Wolf is the Northwest Wolf, especially the military soldiers who have been in the army for ten years, have fought countless wars, have made outstanding achievements, and have served as the sixth-rank military rank. Their knowledge is indeed extraordinary.

"As Jialan means, the third prince will temporarily stay in Loulan and wait for the situation to change, right?" Shi Penglai asked.

Jialan did not answer directly, but said ambiguously, "Even if it is temporarily stuck in Loulan, it will not be too long. Due to the situation, the Western Regions Duwei Mansion must come up with the fastest countermeasures, quickly reverse the situation, and take the initiative again. Otherwise, our Great Sui Dynasty will definitely be besieged by a group of wolves and lose Shanshan again."

"You are sure that after the situation changes, the Sui people will help us Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms?"

"Of course." Galan said, "The core of the Western Tu strategy of the Great Sui Dynasty is to drive away wolves and attack tigers, to help the weak to weaken the strong, and then kill the strong. This core strategy will never change. So after the Shekui Khan had to stop the conquest and continue to bow to the Great Sui Dynasty, the Great Sui people naturally wanted to help Zhaowu's nine countries become stronger and let the Li Te people suppress the Turks, so as to weaken the threats of the Western Turks to the east of the Pamirs and even to Longyou."

Qu Shuzhi nodded secretly, admiring Galan's talent.

After receiving the affirmative answer from Jialan, Shi Penglai immediately asked tentatively, "The Turks are coming to hunt down. What should I do if the third prince is safe?"

Jialan looked at Qu Shuzhi and smiled slightly, "If you believe me, leave the princess behind and I will take care of Shi Bo. You will immediately follow the west to the capital of Shanshan and follow his arrangements."

Qu Shuzhi was hesitant.

"I traveled west to the Duwei Mansion of the Western Regions." Shi Penglai reminded.

"He is my senior brother."

"He is also a disciple of Master Huixin?" Shi Penglai was a little surprised.

"He is like me, and he is also an official slave." Jialan said vaguely, "It was him who persuaded me to join the army and brought me into the Northwest Laolang Mansion."

Shi Penglai was worried all the time, "Three Princess, give me the little princess. With Jialan here, you don't have to worry about the little princess' safety. You just need to take good care of yourself."

Qu Shuzhi had no choice. Even if he disagreed, he would force him to take him away, because his pawn was still useful to the Great Sui Dynasty. The Great Sui Dynasty would not give up easily, but he gave his life and the future of the Li Te to a strange northwest wolf. It was really hard to rest assured.

"Please believe me." Jialan saw Qu Shuzhi's concerns and advised again, "The chief of the Western Regions Duwei Mansion is Changsun Heng'an. He took office last winter and was not familiar with foreign affairs in the Western Regions. For me, I would rather believe in the wolf in the desert than the people in the Western Regions Duwei Mansion. The people in the Old Wolf Mansion are more cunning than foxes and more cruel than wild wolves. They eat people without spitting bones, which is very terrible. I don't believe in the Old Wolf Mansion, and I ask you not to believe in the Old Wolf Mansion."

Qu Shuzhi's face looked ugly. Shi Penglai was also secretly shocked. The Western Regions Duwei Mansion of the Great Sui Dynasty was "famous". Everyone knew that the "Lao Lang Mansion" was powerful and directly affected the rise and fall of the Western Land. When it sneezes, the Western Land would shake three times. Today, he actually heard the Golden Wolf Head of the Lao Lang Mansion confessed to being afraid of its nest. It was really unheard of, which shows how powerful the Lao Lang Mansion is.

"Jalan, tell us a brief explanation. Since you don't believe in the Western Regions Commander's Mansion, who do you believe in? Who can guarantee the safety of the third prince?" Shi Penglai asked in fear.

Jialan hesitated for a moment, but decided to say it, "I believe in Yingyang Mansion."

Yingyang Mansion? The Great Sui Army? Qu Shuzhi and Shi Penglai's hearts were even higher. Yingyang Mansion under the jurisdiction of the Twelve Guards of the Great Sui Dynasty were spread all over the northwest and had a reputation, but this "fame" was not "fame", but "fame". In the eyes of the Western Land, the Sha Horse Thieves were evil people, while the Great Sui Army was a demon. The Sha Horse Thieves only dared to rob them secretly, while the Great Sui Army publicly robbed them, burning, killing, and plundering them, and doing everything.

"Hexi Yingyang Commander, Feng Xiaoci, the right guard general, is my old commander, and he has the kindness of knowing me. Deputy Commander, Wu Benlang General Wang Wei, is also my old commander, and he has the support of me." Jialan said, "I have entrusted my senior brother to ask him to send the third prince to Dunhuang, and transfer it to the two generals, hiding in Longle Yingyang Mansion."

"Why not hide it in the Wei Mansion?" Shi Penglai asked anxiously. In his eyes, the Wei Mansion was of course safer than the Yingyang Mansion.

"The guard mansions of the two generals are located in Longleyingyang Mansion." Jialan said, "Don't worry, Wang Bian, the general of Yingyang Lang of Longleyingyang Mansion, is a friend of my age and is my eldest brother. I could have entrusted him directly, but this matter is of great importance and it is difficult to conceal the two generals, so it is better to entrust them to the two generals."

Shi Penglai immediately thought of someone and immediately understood Galan's intention.

"Do you plan to directly find the old coach through them, and then the old coach will report it directly to the emperor?"

Galan smiled but said nothing. Some things can only be understood, not expressed in words. Whether they can achieve their wish depends on luck. He can only take one step at a time.

Qu Shuzhi's heartbeat suddenly became fierce. Jialan had such a way to reach the emperor? No wonder Shi Penglai bets on Jialan. It turned out that this person was well-known and could not reveal it. However, why did Jialan use these relationships? Is it because he was helpful to the Western Land strategy of the Great Sui Dynasty? This is absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible. Qu Shuzhi felt that he was falling into a bottomless abyss and was being dragged into a huge roaring vortex.

Shi Penglai was frightened when he saw Qu Shuzhi, thinking that he did not believe this, so he explained in a low voice, "The old general is also the old commander of Jialan, named Xue Shixiong, and is now the general of the Right Guard. The left and right guards are responsible for the palace guards, and are the imperial guards of the Great Sui Dynasty, and their commanders are with the emperor. If God opens his eyes and the third prince gets help from noble people, the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty will summon you, then don't say that the Western Regions Commander's Office will not dare to make things difficult for you, and even the Turks will not dare to continue chasing you."

Qu Shuzhi didn't dare to hesitate anymore, so he put Xue'er aside and thanked him for the whole week.
