Chapter 678: Tucheng

(The country name map in this chapter is purely fictitious)

Western regions.

A ruined earthen city on one side.

This place is not far from the former site of the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate, which was originally a remote city of the Metropolitan Protectorate.

Now it is the lair of the largest horse bandits in the area.

Looking at Tucheng from afar, Gongsun Qi didn't know what he was thinking?

Zhang Liao, the unvained sword, and Guo Huai, the double robbery blade, came back from different directions.

"Third Senior Brother, there are 8,000 people in this batch of horse bandits, the leader is called Weng Guimi, and the martial arts learned by the Heavenly Dao Sect of my Wu Dynasty, there are four masters under him, and the martial arts known as 'Beacon Fire City' are very good. ”

Zhang Liao's intelligence inquiry was very detailed.

At that time, Guo Huai reported: "The goods sent from the Great White Country were robbed by them, but the strange thing is that the escort personnel of the Great White Country were unscathed. ”

Hearing this, Gongsun sneered, took out the map without saying a word, opened it, and pondered it carefully.

Looking at Gongsun Qi's expression, Zhang Liao and Guo Huai both understood what it meant.

Back then, Zhang and Guo both entered the Western Regions with Xiang Tianxiao, and immediately remembered the clan king of the Great White Country's Fine Wind Clan, Xifeng Bayan, that is, the father of Xifeng Liuye, and her half-brother Xifeng Hexu.

Although the Great White Kingdom and the Kunlun faction are relatives, the fine wind clan is even more of a Kunlun faction.

However, this is not to say monolithic.

"I don't understand, it stands to reason that this is a shipment from the Great White Country to Wusun, if you talk about the loss, not only my Kunlun faction, but also his Great White Country has a lot of losses. Guo Huai was puzzled.

Zhang Liao also sneered and said, "Senior brother, if Wusun gets this batch of goods, who is the most red-eyed?"

Without thinking, Guo Huai pointed to the west of the former site of the Western Regions Capital on the map, and said:

"Qiuzi, the four major countries of the Western Regions, Wusun is in the north, Baiguo is in the east, and the Yueshi is in the south, Qiuci is the farthest and has the least benefits, and the senior brother means ......"

Spreading out his hands, Zhang Liao said helplessly: "The eight major clans of the Great White Country, the north and the south are different, and they are not monolithic. ”

After the two finished speaking, they both looked at Gongsun Qi, and saw that his fingers kept tapping on the former site of the Western Regions Protectorate, and his eyes were a little sloppy, as if he was a little out of the world.

Gently pushing Gongsun Qi, Guo Huai said softly: "Third Senior Brother, what's wrong with you?"

When he came back to his senses, Gongsun opened his mouth and asked:

"Two junior brothers, why are we here?"

Guo Huai said directly: "Isn't it those miscellaneous pieces of the Western Regions Protectorate?"

Zhang Liao shook his head, looked at Gongsun Qi and said seriously:

"No, the third senior brother is asking, why do we have to come all the way to the Western Regions, right?"

patted the shoulders of the two junior brothers, and Gongsun said:

"On the surface, it is a transaction between this faction and the Hou Mansion, I think the meaning of the head master is by no means so simple, how have you ever seen the head of our family being calculated?"

Zhang Liao understood a little and tried to ask:

"Third Senior Brother, do you mean that the head of the sect wants to control the Western Regions, so he sent us to act as an outpost?"

Guo Huai was taken aback and blurted out: "Frightened! How is this possible? We are one sect ......."

Covering his mouth, Guo Huai would be disrespectful to the sect if he continued to talk.

"Nothing is impossible, now the entire trade in the Western Regions is in the hands of my Kunlun faction," Zhang Liao said proudly.

There is no exaggeration, although what Zhang Liao said is not all the facts, it is not far off.

Taking advantage of the salt shortage in the Western Regions, Xiang Tianxiao squeezed out the wealth of the Western Regions to save the disaster in Cangzhou, and later extended his life for the Western Regions through trade to prevent them from raising troops due to poverty.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is playing with the entire Western Regions to applaud.

It's just that Xiang Tianxiao has always done things like an antelope hanging its horns, and there is no trace to be found.

Others only thought that the Kunlun faction smuggled and sold salt in the Western Regions, and later traded in the Western Regions.

But I don't know that controlling the economic lifeline of the Western Regions is the real goal of smiling at the sky!

(After hundreds of chapters, I'm finally here, and I'll wipe Afghanistan first.) ）

"It's... This... This..."Guo Huai's tongue trembled a little, swallowed his saliva, and then said, "Then what are we going to do now?"

Gongsun Qi looked at the two junior brothers and smiled.

For many years, Gongsun Qi knows Zhang and Guo very well.

Aside from martial arts, in terms of military affairs, Zhang and Guo have their own strengths.

Zhang Liao is good at marching and arranging, and has a lot of strategic vision, which is a handsome material.

Guo Huai is good at giving advice and good at the opportunity of the army to fight, and he is a staff officer.

In response to Guo Huai's question, Gongsun replied with a smile:

"We've been in the Western Regions for a few years, and it's all a little fight, but it's a thorough understanding of the affairs of the Western Regions, and now it's time for us to play. ”

Zhang and Guo suddenly became excited, Guo Huai stared at the map, pointed to the place where Gongsun Qi had been pointing before, and said:

"What does the third senior brother mean is to start from the former site of the Western Regions Protectorate?"

Zhang Liao frowned and said: "This place is among the four countries, if it used to be the key point of commanding the four countries, but now it is the land of the four wars, in addition to the four foreign countries, there are hundreds of clans, I am afraid of ......"

Grabbing Zhang Liao's wrist, Gongsun smiled and said:

"Senior brother was still saying just now, the head of the sect sent me to be an outpost, why did I forget?"

Hearing this, Zhang and Guo were both shocked, and Zhang Liao responded with wide eyes:

"Third Senior Brother wants to make a nail?"

"Not bad!" Gongsun shook his fist on the map and said firmly:

"We just want to be a nail that enters the Western Regions and erect the banner of my Kunlun faction here!"

......

Inside the earthen city.

If Weng Guimi occupies this place, what he really wants to do is to restore the old official site that was originally here.

According to Weng Guimi's idea, he wanted to emulate the regulations of the Western Regions Protectorate, which had a lot to do with his learning of the Martial Heaven Dao Sect.

The idea is plump, and the reality is skinny.

The four major leaders under Weng Guimi, the madman, the fire phoenix, the slave, and the city wall, are not very sophisticated people, and they have made the entire Tucheng like a den of bandits.

It was said that the goods that were robbed this time had just been piled up in the square, and it caused a group of horse bandits to fight for it.

A man in heavy armor confronts four yellow-haired and white-skinned swordsmen.

"This is the goods that my city wall army robbed back, and we will choose it first, when will it be your turn to !?pick the slave army first," the heavily armored man shouted in a rough voice.

Among the four great swordsmen, one of them came out of the ranks and said in a loud voice:

"Without the hard crossbow of our slave army, do you think the Great White State will retreat so easily?!"

After saying that, the great swordsman thrust his big sword into the ground and lifted a machine crossbow from his back!

"You want to fight, right? Fight according to the old rules!" the heavily armored man shouted, holding a big shield in one hand and a hammer in the other, and pounced directly.

However, on the other side, four great swordsmen met them together.

To say that this heavily armored man is also good, with the heavy armor on his body to resist the four big swords, see the opportunity, swing out the hammer, and the enemy will be saved.

Don't look at the four great swordsmen, but they were overturned by a hammer.

The heavily armored man shouted arrogantly.

Suddenly!

A shrill voice rang out:

"Stupid pig, call your big stupid elephant!"

The words fell to the people.

A slender black-haired man flew into the field, and saw that under the kicks of both feet, the heavily armored man was directly kicked and flew up, and fell heavily to the ground, kicking up a large cloud of dust.
