Chapter Sixty-Nine
Changsun Wuji no longer resented him, but instead felt a little sympathetic to Galan.
In this world, whether it is the East or the West, the most lacking is warriors. Warriors are always "chess pieces" in the hands of powerful people, but they are just the most eye-catching "chess pieces". However, their meaning of existence is not essentially different from that of grass, mustard, and ants. Those who rule this world are powerful people and wealthy families. Elites like Galan also have the opportunity to reach the peak of power, but Galan does not have such an opportunity.
At the critical moment of life and death, he left "life" to Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin, and left "death" to himself, not because he was morally noble or loyal, but because he knew the severity of the matter. If Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin died, or suffered a life-and-death death, and thus took over the life-and-death hatred with the powerful and powerful families, then not only would he die, but he would also implicate many brothers and friends, and even implicate the monks in the northwest. The two evils were the least, and Galan was still a smart man after all, and even if he died on the spot in battle, he would not want to implicate innocent people.
The words of Galan's heroic Ganyun concealed his helplessness and sorrow.
Changsun Wuji naturally accepted Galan's "gift" and was very indifferent to his life and death. What does Galan have to do with him? Li Shimin respected Galan and felt that a real man should be ashamed of his sanctum like Galan, standing upright and magnificent as such.
Different ages, different living environments, and different experiences, their views on the same thing must be very different. Ashina Nishu looked at Galan at this moment and was puzzled. What does this mean? The Qibians really valued the life and death of Qibians? They really let these Sui people go to save Qibians' life? It is impossible. It is certain that when Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin took Qibians through the Sun Valley, the Qibians must have all their strength to surround and kill them.
The head of Qiezige can give Tiele people a sufficient reason to betray the Great Sui Dynasty and attack Longcheng, while the head of Changsun Wuji, Li Shimin and Jialan is a living proof. The head of Qiezi people let Su and the convoy go, actually weakened the power of Jialan, which can ensure the successful siege and kill, greatly reduced their own losses, and resolve the battle in the shortest time, and then follow the convoy to kill Longcheng directly. If the timing is well controlled, you can even use the convoy to launch an attack when entering the city, attack the enemy in an unprepared manner, and seize the garrison base in one fell swoop.
Could it be that Jialan wanted to use Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin as bait to attract all the Qizi people's elite cavalry? It is impossible that Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin only had a dozen people, which were vulnerable. The only explanation was that Jialan wanted to kill people with a knife. If Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin died, and the Qizi people failed to capture Longcheng, the Sui people still firmly controlled Shanshan, and the angry Changsun Heng'an would do next, it is conceivable that not only the Qizi people would be retaliated against, but the Turks would also not be able to escape. What is even more terrible is that if Zhenru Galan said that the Sui people had won the expedition to Liaodong and the Emperor of the Sui people was about to begin the second Western Expedition, then this hatred would definitely bring immeasurable consequences to the Turks.
This is Galan's trick. This is the real Galan. Even if he dies, he will bite a piece of meat on his opponent, which will make the opponent feel unbearable and restless in sleep and food.
Ashina Nishu sneered and fought back sternly, "Galan, you exchange your life for them for a way out of their lives. What about me? Do I also want to break out of the siege of the siege like you?"
Before he finished speaking, Nishu waved his palm and attacked, and the black Turkic guards raised their bows and crossbows and pointed them at Jialan.
Li Shimin and others were always on guard against the Black Turks, and almost at the same time they raised their crossbows and pointed them at Ashina Nishu.
Buyi and Shen Shipeng turned a blind eye and were still busy with their own affairs.
Galan looked up at the southern sky, with a lonely face and said slowly, "No matter how the situation in the West and Turkey changes, it will be beneficial to you. The reason why you and Da Yehu rushed to Shanshan in person is simply to speed up the changes in the West and Turkey situation and make the chaos in the West and Turkey come faster and more violently. Now your goal has been achieved. The Tuyuhun people are planning a plan to restore the country, and the Tiel Alliance is about to split. In the future, even if the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty wants to launch a second Western Expedition, his main opponents will be the Tuyuhun people and the Tiel people. For this reason, you must form an alliance with the Turks, and you have won enough time to develop."
Galan turned his head slowly, looked at Ashina Nishu, and smiled indifferently, "Nishu, thank you for sending me a ride. In addition, please tell Dayehu that I will take good care of Sulu, and I will fulfill my promise and reunite Sulu with my parents. If God blesses me and let me live longer, I may be able to fulfill my promise to Khan and help him return to the Western Land and return to the Broken Leaf."
Silence. Silence. Neither Ashina Nishu nor Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin had expected that Galan would say such a thing.
Things have come to this point, and the situation has developed to this day. All the Turks' plans have been realized. What is the point of continuing to "play"? For the Tiel, Lou Guandao and Laolang Mansion, Galan is indeed going to kill, but for the Turks, is it really important to kill Galan?
I am leaving the Western Land, and the hope of returning to my hometown is very, very slim, just like the Khan in the mud, and like the sand and dust in the sky, it is finally a passing cloud.
"There are gains and losses. It is no wonder that the horse is lost." Jialan bowed slightly to Nishu to pay his respects, "I have sent Zhaowu Qushu to Dunhuang long ago. If nothing unexpected happens, I will be in Hexi Wei Mansion now, so there is no need for you to go to the Devil City again."
Nishu's thick eyebrows stood up, and his anger surged again. You kept lying to me? I immediately thought that Jialan had to tell the truth at this moment, and he forced the anger in his heart to suppress.
"The situation in Shanshan is tense, how can Hexi ignore it?" Jialan smiled and said, "Since Laolang Mansion and Lou Guandao want to kill Qie Geling and destroy the Tielle Alliance, how could they only ambush a mob in Sun Valley?" Jialan pointed to the direction of Longcheng, "It's a trap. Since it's a trap, there must be a pack of wolves around. The Kie Geling is a pack of wolves, you and Bai Shisan and Pei Sanlang are also a pack of wolves, and I am the bait, the bait that lured you into the trap. So who can put the bait?"
Nishu was secretly surprised. He thought that the army of Shanshan Yingyang Mansion was still fighting fiercely with the Tuyuhun people on the front line of Qiang, and that Changsun Hengan was still in Dongwozi to discuss the situation in the Western Land and Tu, and that the Sui people were still calm and calm under such a dangerous situation. It can be seen that there must be a backhand. Where is the backhand? The answer is about to come out. The Hexi army may have secretly moved south. Now it is hiding in the White Dragon Dumpling Desert, waiting for the prey to fall into the trap, and then launch a fatal blow.
"Why is it a blessing to lose your horse?" Nishou asked calmly, "Calan, can you explain it?"
"For you, for a long time in the future, you will mainly focus on the vast territory west of the Pamir Mountains, rather than hastily intervening in the battle for hegemony in the Western Land. This was the case in the past, now, and in the future." Galan said calmly, "The reason why Shekukhan had to bear the charge of brotherly battle and joined forces with the Tieler people to defeat Nijuechuluo Khan was because the tension west of the Pamir Mountains forced Yakukhan to concentrate all his strength to deal with the powerful threat from Persia, but Nijuechuluo Khan and Tieler people fought, which led to the Yakukhan falling into a serious crisis in both the east and west directions of the Pamir Mountains. Shekukhan had no choice but to come up with this worst."
"The Khan of Shekui and the Lite people are in a relationship, not because Lao Wang of Kang visited my Emperor of Sui, but because Lao Wang of Kang had close contacts with the Persians, seriously threatening the interests of the Turks to the west of the Pamir Mountains."
After Jia Lan said this, Ashi Nashu's face changed slightly, but Changsun Wuji, Li Shimin and others were secretly surprised. They still underestimated Jia Lan's strength. Just imagine that even the Huangmen Minister Pei Shiju is willing to give in to the people who are willing to give in to the people, a person who is so popular that the powerful and powerful today is trying to win over. How can it be as simple as a secret soldier messenger?
"Ashin Seedy secretly rose to the Saiye River, swept west of the Pamir Mountains, and the defenders were invincible, and they formed an alliance with the Persians to destroy the Dada. Datou Khan continued to form an alliance with Persia, attacked the enemy south of the Wuhu River, and divided the land equally. However, with the unification of Middle-earth, the Silk Road prospered, and the Silk Road interests became increasingly greater, and your relationship with the Persians deteriorated rapidly."
"The Persians and the Great Qin people (Byzantine Empire) were old enemies for generations. The two sides fought for more than 300 years and fought endlessly. Ten years ago, the Persians launched another war. The Persian emperor Kuslu's army was invincible and was invincible. The people of the Great Qin people were worried and had difficulty outside, so Chiraclu rose up and ascended the throne. The first thing he did to turn the tide was to ask for help from you Turks."
"The Persians need huge military resources to maintain the war, and at the same time, they also need to cut off the Silk Road connecting the Qin Dynasty to further attack the enemy. This has seriously damaged the interests of you Turks and endangered the survival of you Turks. Therefore, you must join forces with the Qin Dynasty to attack Persia."
"The strategy of the Shekui Khan was to join the Great Qin in the West and merge Tiel in the east, and to form an alliance with the Sui Dynasty in the Central Plains to attack the Western Regions, stabilize the situation in the east and west directions of the Pamirs, and then gather all their forces to go south to fight against the Persians. In this strategy, the nine Zhaowu countries on the north bank of the Uhu River became the key to victory or defeat. If the Lites turned to Persia as a whole, it would be a disaster for you Turks."
"So you can't wait to control the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu and use your puppets to control the Li Te people, but things go as they wish, and the situation in Zhaowu is in chaos. At this time, if Zhaowu Qu Shuzhi can get the support of my Great Sui Dynasty to succeed the throne of Kang, and you take this opportunity to firmly form an alliance with my Great Sui Dynasty, and on the other hand, get the strong help of the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu, wouldn't it be a good thing to kill one by one?"
Ashina Nishu was shocked. Only then did he know what Dayehu and Galan were talking about that night. Dayehu could tell Galan about such secrets. He obviously trusted Galan very much and expected Galan to use the power of Pei to help the Turks consolidate their alliance with the Great Sui Dynasty and steadily advance their overall strategy.
But Nishu was surprised not only by Dayehu's trust in Galan, but also by his reliance on Galan's strength, but also by why Dayehu told an enemy about the contradictions inside the tent. The chaos in Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms today was caused by the hands of Kaku Khan, and Kaku Khan and Kaku Khan and Kaku Khan had completely opposite strategies in how to control Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms, and the two brothers had repeated conflicts.
If all this was the plan of Da Yehu, then Zhaowu Qu Shuzhi escaped from Zhongtu, Sulu escaped from Zhongtu, and Jialan left the Western Land, which could be reasonably explained. Zhaowu Qu Shuzhi escaped from Zhongtu, of course, to seek help from Da Sui, while Sulu escaped from Zhongtu to seek help from Ni Juechuluo Khan. When the Emperor of Sui was dealing with this matter, he would inevitably have to learn about the specific situation west of the Pamir Mountains from Ni Juechuluo Khan, and the introduction of Ni Juechuluo Khan would inevitably affect the judgment and decision of the Emperor of Sui. As for Kalan, it is the key to whether this plan can be realized. As long as Kalan returns to Dunhuang alive, he can use the power of the Pei family to safely send Zhaowu Qu Shuzhi and Suluo to Chang'an with the fastest speed and greatest grasp.
It is no wonder that the misfortune of the horse was lost. It turns out that this is what it means. Asan's thoughts were turned on and thought about it repeatedly, and many of the previous doubts were solved one by one at this moment.
Why can Zhaowu Qushuzhi escape from the Thunder Yechuan? Why can Su Luo come to Loulan to look for Jialan before getting married? Going forward, Lao Wang of Shi Kingdom is directly responsible for the chaotic Zhaowu situation today, why is he still safe and sound? Jialan is still alive and hides in Tulunchuan. Da Yehu must know, so he planned all this, and then with the help of the rapid changes in the situation in the West, he hid all this so as not to intensify the conflict between him and the Khan of Shekui.
As for Qie Gelang and Qiezhu, they must lose this game, because the war year after year consumed all their strength, and they could not get the assistance of the Tiel Alliance, nor the assistance of the Great Sui people. Small countries in the Western Regions such as Kucha and Yanqi were originally fences. Seeing that the wind was wrong, how could they be buried with the Qiezhu people? So they could only drive the Turks out of Baishan, and they could only survive on the southern foot of Luoman Mountain, and in the end they could only surrender to the Turks. Attacking the Great Sui was just a desperate counterattack before their death, trying to use this to threaten the Great Sui and force the Great Sui to lend a helping hand.
The Great Sui Dynasty always supported the weak and attacked the strong in the Western Land. This was how Qie Geling and the Qie Geling were supported. Now the Nijuechu Luo Khan was defeated, and the Turks were weakened, so they could not threaten the Great Sui Dynasty for the time being, so they lost their value. But soon the Turks made a comeback. Who dares to say that Qie Geling and the Qie Geling had no possibility of making a comeback?
Ashi Na Ni was reluctant to think about it. Looking at the gloomy sky in the distance and the dust in the sky, it was hard for him to guess what kind of beast was hidden in the white dragon pile, but one thing was certain, Qie Geling and Qiezi people were in danger, and Jialan would definitely be able to break through the siege and return to Dunhuang smoothly.
