Chapter 23: Mutation (5)

To the north of Suzhou, there are large sand and gravel beaches mixed with scars. In the huge and thick gravel sand and gravel, there is no grass growing, and it is the real Gobi wasteland. Life has stopped its weakest pulsation here, and only a red sun comes as promised every year, rising from the sea of ​​birds in the northeast, and sinking on the top of the Jinshan Mountain in the southwest, and it has never stopped.

The sun passed over his head, and it was another hot summer in the Western Regions. A small group of people fled from the mountains of Jinshan. The team of less than 100 people was all throwing their armor and covered in blood. Even their mounts were staggering and struggling. Obviously, this group of people had just experienced a life of death, and their companions probably had stayed on the south side of Jinshan forever and could no longer return to their homeland in the north.

On the leading black horse, his scattered brown hair was messy, and blood was constantly flowing down the back of his head. The armor on his body had long been soaked in blood, and his face was stained with blood. Even his originally dark and pointed lips were dyed brown and stuck in a ball. He rode on the horse with difficulty. Although his hands were still holding the reins tightly, his head was hanging on his chest. He trembled up and down with the horse's pace. At a glance, he knew that he was exhausted and perhaps seriously injured. Only those slightly closed eyes had not lost their last bit of spirit, and from time to time he burst out light mixed with resentment, fear and anger.

This is the Turkic prince Chuijuling who had just suffered a defeat. Last night, when he was lured by beacons and led 20,000 elite troops to support Guazhou. After running wildly among the mountains for nearly two hours, he climbed to the highest peak of climbing alone, Muran looked back, but was shocked to see the rolling smoke on Suzhou City. Looking west, on the beacon tower leading to Guazhou, the beacons that soared into the sky were shocking. Chuijuling immediately knew it and was deceived!

Without any hesitation, the Chingju led the team to turn around and rushed to Suzhou. He knew that when Cui Xing made this plan, he must have been determined to make a boat. However, the Chingju did not dare and could not face the loss of Suzhou. This would be the biggest failure and shame in his life! So he led the army back and forth between Guazhou and Suzhou overnight. The haste and anger made them panic like never before, and ended up crashing into the ambush circle set up by Cui Xing.

The fierce battle unfolded in the mountain range outside Suzhou City. In fact, the Chuijuling could no longer see the majestic city tower of Suzhou City. Cui Xing set up three lines of defense between Suzhou and the Chuijuling belly, two layers of siege, forming a situation of waiting for the rabbit to wait for the furious Chuijuling to jump into the trap.

The 20,000 elite Turks were cut into two sections and were besieged in two valleys to fight hard. The situation was decided, and it was only a matter of time to decide the outcome. Although the Turks were extremely brave, their minds were already in chaos. They were caught in the jar by Cui Xing's army that had been ready for several days. The battle was fought from dawn to noon, and from noon to sunset. The 20,000 Turks were left. Several generals were killed one after another, and their thighs were severely damaged. Under the desperate protection of the Kaixun Guard, they barely broke through the siege and fled north.

Cui Xing did not pursue him relentlessly, and most of the army led by Chuiju had been eliminated. He was not worried that the Turks would make a comeback, so he organized the army and divided the troops to send generals. On the one hand, he guarded Suzhou, which had just been recaptured, and on the other hand, he gathered troops to go to Guazhou. The Turks were beaten dizzy, and this was the best time to seize Guazhou, which was empty in defense. Therefore, Chuiju was able to escape from the sky.

After most of the day of escaping, the Tuju Leader and the last hundred men left him finally set foot on the foot of Jinshan Mountain. As long as you pass through the large wasteland in front of you, you will reach the flat, mirror-like and dark green sea of ​​birds. Under the blue sky and white clouds, there is a field where the Turks and the Great Zhou herders alternately escort herding people, which does not belong to any free world of administrative management.

"District, Your Highness, there are no pursuers. Should I take a break and replenish some food?" A side general asked, his face was blurred, but his mouth was still clear. Chuijucheng nodded, and with the help of the side general, he turned over and fell down. As soon as he took a step, he sat down on the sandy ground. The rest of the people followed him in a row. Chuijucheng looked around. Except for the remaining defeated generals under his command, there was no more vitality. The hatred and anger accumulated in his heart rolled like magma, and it was about to flourish. These cunning Han people, one day I will take revenge!

The sling general handed over the water, and took a few sips of blood. He couldn't drink it anymore. He looked up at the direction of the way, and suddenly he jumped up from the ground. Suddenly, he suddenly jumped up from the ground, and suddenly he shook and fell into the arms of the sling general. "Your Highness! Your Highness!" The sling general didn't know what was going on, so he screamed in a hurry. The sling general gritted his teeth and pushed him away. He barely stood up, but he couldn't help but cry loudly facing the southwest.

In the desert in the afternoon, his crying was earth-shaking, and everyone looked southwest with their hands and shoulders. Under the hot sunset, the war of the sun soared into the sky. The Turks recognized the war of the victory on the Great Wall. They knew very well that this time was not a trick, but a real victory: after Suzhou, Guazhou also broke free from the short control of the Turks and returned to the Great Zhou!

In the evening, Qian Guinan finally waited for Wang Qian. Wang Qian had just stepped into the main hall of the governor's mansion, and Qian Guinan went straight to meet him and greeted him enthusiastically: "Oh, Wang Qian, you are finally back." Wang Qian bowed with his fists and said, "Mr. Qian..." Qian Guinan raised his hand and stopped him. Wang Qian quickly shut up. After the guards withdrew one after another, Qian Guinan went to close the main hall door in person. Then he turned around, sighed and asked, "Is everything going well?"

Wang Qian looked at the governor in surprise. After only four days of leaving, Qian Guinan seemed to have become much older, with a shaved beard. The wrinkles on his originally well-maintained face were prominent, and his clothes were a little messy. Wang Qian knew that Qian Guinan was actually the most timid. It must be that the matter was coming and his worries were too heavy. A trace of disdain flashed through his heart. Wang Qian smiled slightly and lowered his voice: "Mr. Qian, I brought Han Navy back."

"Ah, oh, okay! OK!" Qian Guinan Lian claimed that yes, but his eyes still couldn't help looking around, as if he was afraid that someone would eavesdrop. Then, he grabbed Wang Qian's arm and said, "No one was discovered along the way, right? Did anyone leave any clues?" "Mr. Qian, don't worry. The function is foolproof." Qian Guinan Lian nodded and said, "You are here just right. When we finish the talk, I will continue to let the Shatuo Group and the Tianshan Group guard the northern and southern parts of Shatuo Group respectively, and you will also lead the team in person."

Wang Qian's eyes rolled around and asked, "Sir, why should I guard Shatuohe? You plan to..." Qian Guinan stomped his feet and briefly explained the letter from Chi Duo Khan. Wang Qian was sweating all over his head, and then Qian Guinan tore up his decision and conspired with Mochu and said the abacus that he had turned to the arms of Dazhou again. Wang Qian was shocked and stuttered: "Qian, Lord Qian, you, if you do this, what if Mochu...uh, there is Chi Duo..."

Qian Guinan glared at Wang Qian fiercely and scolded: "What a panic! I have considered it all in the time when you brought Han Navy back from Yizhou. Don't worry about the other side of the Turks. The court must hate them to the core now and will never believe anything they said. Now that Han Haijun comes back, all the evidence of conspiracy with the Turks will no longer exist. As long as you and I are good at Shatuo Group and Chen Mingli of the Tianshan Group, no one will risk this great controversy and report it. Besides, this will not be beneficial to them."

"This..." Wang Qian lowered his head and said nothing. Qian Guinan was suspicious and frowned and said, "What else do you have to say? Now you and me are closely related. At this critical moment, you must be honest and honest." Wang Qian then raised his head and looked directly at Qian Guinan. "Mr. Qian, things are probably not that simple." "Well, what do you mean?" Wang Qian's eyes appeared coldly and said word by word: "When the humble post arrived in Yizhou, the imperial envoy sent by the court also arrived."

Qian Guinan was shocked: "Sir, the Imperial Commander? Who? What are you doing?" "Gaoping County Prince Wu Chonggui went to Yizhou to investigate the private transfer of Han Haijun!" "What?!" Qian Guinan shook his body, and Wang Qian hurriedly reached out to support him and helped him sit on the chair. Qian Guinan's face turned pale and he breathed several times before he calmed down a little. He grabbed Wang Qian's clothes and said: "What's going on? Why did the news leak out? Even the court was alarmed? And..." He paused and said in disbelief: "Why didn't Yizhou send us any information before?"

Wang Qian said with a sad face: "Mr. Qian, this time the imperial envoy is secretly investigating the case. It is probably only the current emperor and several prime ministers who know nothing in advance. If we are lucky, we have arrived too quickly. If we are one step late, we will probably finish everything!"

Qian Guinan stood there as if dead, and after a long time, he said, "Since you brought back the Hanhai Army safety, it means Qin, the imperial envoy has not yet discovered it..." Wang Qian nodded, Qian Guinan said in a long sigh: "You tell me the story of your life in Yizhou first."

Although there were no one else in the main hall and guards outside, the two of them lowered their voices guiltily and whispered for a long time. Finally, they sorted out the situation in Yizhou. Qian Guinan forced a weak smile and patted Wang Qian's arm, saying, "Okay, you did this well. It's true that you are brave and resourceful. I have not misunderstood the person. This time, as long as I can overcome the difficulties, I will never treat you unfairly. I will definitely let you get promoted!"

Wang Qian thanked him repeatedly. Qian Guinan thought about it and said, "It's just that woman staying, it's a disaster in the end!" Wang Qian nodded and said, "I understand. I have sent a killer to continue looking for opportunities in Yizhou. It's really hard for me to take care of both sides, so I have to rush back first." "Well, you did it right." Qian Guinan responded casually, and then said to himself: "It seems that the imperial envoy is not very sure about this matter, but how did the court get the news? Wang Qian, we must find out the omissions to deal with it!"

The two began to think hard together, and the main hall suddenly became quiet. After thinking about it, there was only one place that had indeed made mistakes, that is, the Shatuo regiment brigade, which has no trace yet! Maybe Gundam ran to Luoyang and reported the matter of Hanhai Army to the court? But Qian Guinan did not believe that as Gundam was able to go to Datianting, this matter was a secret in the army and involved an important official in the court. The Ministry of War would believe that Gundam, a small brigade in the border garrison, had left his garrison and complained more than ranks. I am afraid that Gundam would have no way to sue even when he arrived in Luoyang.

After much over and over again, Qian Guinan had to ask Wang Qian to arrange Han Haijun first, and asked someone to send two letters to Wu Xun and Mei Yingchun. The preparations should be made, and the imperial envoy is only one step away from Tingzhou!

The king moved away, and Qian Guinan was still in the hall and was puzzled. Someone came to report that a postman named Guo from Yeheyi, the most remote place in Tingzhou, came to the governor's mansion and said that he had been cheated. Qian Guinan was about to curse people, but even such a mess came to bother him. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. Yeheyi was cheated... He ordered someone to immediately summon the postman Guo to ask questions.
