Yeluqing's arrogant attitude quickly annoyed Anthony.

Anthony shouted to the outside world: "Come on, drag him out, torture him." ”

The dignified governor, who dominates one side, but makes the lost dogs wandering in the Western Regions despise, and Anthony is angry.

What's more, he was eager to understand the situation of Clark and Arnold.

The cronies outside rushed in, grabbed the blade and put it on Yeluqing's neck, and dragged him out from side to side.

Temporarily frightened, Yeluqing was fearless, shrugged his shoulders and walked out, and sighed: "The governor of a certain enlightenment is a trustworthy person, how can I expect the governor to be so bullying, and when the Tang army comes, the governor is afraid that he will definitely die." ”

Hearing this, Anthony stopped his cronies and shouted, "Let him go." ”

Yeluqing raised his arm and bent to shake off the soldier next to him, and lowered his head to tidy up his clothes.

When he was young, he sneered: "At the end of last winter, a certain braved a snowstorm to seek cooperation, and if the governor cooperated with a certain at the beginning, today a certain will naturally tell the governor the news free of charge." Now, at the risk of his life, he could tell the Governor in vain. ”

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Yeluqing not only came to blackmail Anthony, but also tried to make Anthony defend the city, block the Tang army, and buy time for him to lead the army to the west.

Anthony heard the meaning of Yeluqing's words, and said with a little anger: "Anyway, what does Prince Qing want?" ”

"Food!"

"I beg the Governor to give me food first, and my brother is waiting outside the barracks." Yeluqing said his intentions.

Grain.

When Anthony heard this, his face suddenly turned grim.

In Mulu City, two things are the most valuable, food and water.

If he hadn't controlled the trade routes leading to the Tang Dynasty, the Sassanids would have been short of food, and Yeluqing would have looked for him for food.

For a while, he became more and more annoyed, and suspected that Yeluqing was prepared.

glared at him fiercely, raised his head and ordered the cronies outside to give Yeluqing 10,000 stone of grain.

He took a full glass of wine, gritted his teeth and said, "Prince Qing, can you talk now?"

"Hahaha, don't worry, the grain is gone, and someone will naturally tell you the news." Yeluqing sat on the cushion next to him and said.

Damn it.

Anthony scolded under his breath.

The bastard is deliberately challenging his baseline.

At this time, he wanted to kill Yeluqing.

But he had to endure his anger and wait as quietly as possible.

Half a day passed, and at noon, Yeluqing's army carried away the grain and stayed away from Mulu City.

When it was determined that Anthony sent an army to pursue and could not help himself, Yeluqing suddenly looked serious after he was full of wine and food, and said in a low voice: "Governor, as far as I know, the current situation of the Sassanid army is not good, and we should prepare for war in advance, so as not to catch the governor off guard when the Tang army suddenly arrives in the city." ”

Hiss!

Hearing this, Anthony gasped, what did Yeluqing mean, how did he faintly feel bad.

"Prince Qing, what do you mean?"

According to his guess, even if the Tang army came from a long journey, in the short term, there would be no way to help Mulu City, not to mention, there was still a Sasanian army in the Western Regions.

"The Governor, I have received reliable information that Clark, the elite of Arnold's commander, has all been killed outside the city of Talas. At present, the Tang Emperor is taking advantage of the victory to advance westward, and in half a month, at most half a month, the Tang army will arrive outside Mulu City. Yeluqing said coldly.

After getting the food, he planned to quickly lead the army to leave before the Tang army came, so as not to collapse again in front of the Tang army.

Suddenly hearing that Clark and Arnold died on the battlefield, Anthony was shocked and said incredulously: "You said Arnold, Clark died in battle, this is impossible?" ”

Clark, Arnold leads 60,000 elites.

What's more, Arnold is a fierce general, how can he be easily wiped out by the Tang Army, and even his own life will be involved.

Anthony did not believe that the army he had trained was so vulnerable in front of the Don army.

"Governor, facts speak louder than words, if you don't believe it, despise Tang Jun, and you will regret it in the end." Yeluqing kindly reminded him, lest Anthony be carelessly beaten by the Tang army, so that he didn't even have a chance to lead the army to escape.

At this time, Anthony's expression suddenly became cold, he poured several glasses of liquor in a row, took a deep breath, and asked, "You tell me clearly, what is going on?" ”

Yeluqing sneered, Daoming the battle that took place in the Western Regions, but did not detail the situation near Daorus City, and said with emotion: "At the beginning, the Sassanid army was suppressed by the Turks in the Western Regions, like a lost dog, with no place to stand. However, the Turks finally wiped out the Tang army.

At the end of last winter, the Khitan faced a life-and-death crisis, and at that time, if the governor chose to cooperate with the Khitan, the alliance between them could barely confront the Tang army.

After the Khitan had no choice but to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, now, the Sassanid army has no way to help the Tang army, if Yang Yue leads the army to come, the governor will be in crisis, and the Sassanid Dynasty is facing extinction. ”

"What the hell is going on?"

Anthony was so angry that to this day, Yeluqing, the bastard, is still secretive and does not explain the reason, and there is a bit of schadenfreude in his words.

is clearly deliberately teasing him and sarcastically mocking him.

The situation is critical, and the Tang army is ready to be defeated at any time, and he wants to find out what happened to Clark and Arnold in the Western Regions.

"Governor, when Yang Yue led the army to Talas City, he joined up with the mountain bandits outside the city, cut off the water source flowing into the city, and eliminated the elite led by Clark in advance, and he deliberately hid this secret, Arnold didn't know, when he led the army to attack the Tang army camp, he was attacked by the Tang army from the north and south, and finally ended up dying." Yeluqing said.

Damn it.

These despicable and sinister guys.

Anthony clenched his fists and crunched.

The anger could not be suppressed any longer, and his face became more and more gloomy and cold.

Yang Yue.

seized his territory in the Western Regions, killed his cronies one after another, and annihilated his elite.

With such a deep hatred in the sea of blood, he is inseparable from Yang Yue and Datang.

In a fit of rage, Yeluqing continued: "As far as I know, the Tang Emperor has a very strong attitude, and he led his army to Mulu City, not only to capture Sasan, but also to break into the west, and the governor can do it himself. With that, he got up and clasped his fists and saluted Anthony: "Governor, so-and-so has told you the news, take care." ”

In silence, Anthony shouted, "Prince Qing, wait! ”

The Tang army came straight to Mulu City, so naturally it should try to eliminate this Tang army.

On the one hand, it is necessary to ask for help from the royal capital, and on the other hand, it is necessary to win over all the forces on all sides of Mulu City, and Yeluqing in front of him is one of the good choices.

has a mortal enmity with the Tang Dynasty and controls the army.

If Yeluqing is enlisted to help him resist the Tang army, his pressure will be greatly reduced before the royal capital sends reinforcements.

Yeluqing stopped, turned his head and looked at Anthony suspiciously.

He has already told what happened in the Western Regions and the movements of the Tang Army, could it be that Anthony temporarily changed his mind and wanted to detain him.

Vigilantly asked, "Governor, what else?" ”
