Ten days later, Qin Mubai led his troops to the Dafeichuan Military Camp. Here, he learned some information about the interior of Lanzhou, mainly about Su Dingfang.

It turned out that Su Dingfang had already led his troops to the Western Regions more than a month ago when Qin Mubai and Gaer Qinling were fighting to the death in the Palmoli Prairie.

Because the Great Tang and Tibet officially declared war, and the northern grasslands were also in chaos, the three great powers that had formerly had strong influence and deterrence to the Western Regions, the Great Tang, Tibet, and Xue Yantuo, had no time to look west. At this moment, the Western Turkic Norland, which had always been ambitious and powerful, felt that the time had come to unify the Western Regions. Thus, he ordered his subordinates, Jue Yuechi, Ba Ximi, Bo Ma, Jie Gu, and Tian Mukun, to dispatch troops together. With Ni Shuchuo, the recovered Norland general, as their commander, they joined forces with more than 300,000 troops and launched a fierce attack on their old enemy, the Western Turkic Southern Court’s dental tent.

Norland was very thoughtful. If they could take advantage of this good opportunity that the Great Tang and Tibet had no time to look after the West, they would be able to unify the Western Regions in one fell swoop.

Norland did this to create an established fact of “unifying the Western Regions.”

After Tang and Fan lost the battle, they would definitely not be able to use war against the Western Regions. At that time, Norland might no longer be Norland, but an independent and powerful khaganate in the Western Regions. At that time, regardless of whether the Great Tang or Tibet won, they would have to admit that the Norland Khaganate was powerless to invade the Western Regions.

It was difficult for Nanting to withstand a powerful attack, so he quickly sent out an envoy to ask for help from the Great Tang. Due to the prior agreement, Nanting Khan directly sent a messenger to invite Su Dingfang to “uphold justice” on behalf of the Great Tang and send troops to rescue them.

Su Dingfang quickly sent his troops to the Jade Gate Pass and issued a “military order” to Hu Luwu, the chief of the Hu Luwu Tribe, in the name of Qin Mubai, telling him to send troops to rescue Nanting first. Su Dingfang then sent his troops over.

The Hu Lu Tribe was originally a double-sided spy that no one dared to offend. After receiving the order, although they had also tidied up their troops, they did not attack immediately. Instead, they watched from afar. If Nantong had been destroyed before Su Dingfang arrived, they would definitely not have been stupid enough to deal with Norland’s misfortune alone. On the contrary, there was a possibility that he would take advantage of the situation to ask for a reward in front of his master with the posture of assisting Norland.

Before Qin Mubai left Yumen Pass, he had already discussed all of this with Su Dingfang. Su Dingfang understood very well that the Hu Lu Tribe was not trustworthy at all. But we have to give him a preemptive order. It was never his business. If he didn’t give this order, the Hu Lu Tribe would have an excuse to stand on the Norland side in advance. At that time, the situation would be even more unfavorable for the Tang army and Nantian.

The war in the Western Regions was already in full swing. The Northern and Southern Tribunals of the Western Turks fought desperately every day, killing and wounding countless people. At the same time, many other small countries and tribes in the Western Regions also faced the problem of standing in line and making choices. Due to Norland’s powerful military power, many small countries and tribes joined Norland. Even the Stone Country, History Country, He Country, Mu Country, and Kang Country that had previously joined Norland all jumped into Norland’s camp.

The current situation was precarious and unfavorable to Nanting. Under such circumstances, Su Dingfang immediately made up his mind and did not directly send troops to rescue Nantian. Instead, he personally led 20,000 elite Kansai soldiers to set up a stronghold in Gaochang and went directly to the Hu Lu Tribe at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains to “inquire”.

When Su Dingfang went, he was almost alone.

Hu Luwu, who had always been hesitant, saw that the Tang envoy who had personally come was neither Qin Mubai nor Xue Rengui. At that time, he was quite disdainful. In addition, Su Dingfang had only brought over 20,000 soldiers this time, so the Hu Clan Chief secretly made up his mind to join Norland and capture Su Dingfang as an “apology gift” to Marshal Ni Shuchuo of Norland.

At this time, Su Dingfang, who had been keeping a low profile for a few years, finally made a big splash.

In the Hu Lu Tribe’s leader’s tent, he personally wielded his saber to kill the messenger sent by Norland! Then, relying on his outstanding eloquence, extraordinary courage, and true sincerity, he began to compete with Hu Luwu and his subordinate generals.

In the end, Su Dingfang told Hu Luwu that the Great Tang had mobilized 400,000 troops, and that Field Marshal Qin Mubai of the Kansai Army had personally sent troops to crush Tibet, and that Tibet would be wiped out in a few days. When Marshal Qin returns to Helong, he will definitely come to clean up the Western Regions’ mess. If the Hu Lu Tribe abandoned the former alliance and defected to Norland, it would definitely be a calamity for the clan in the future! On the other hand, if he were to help the Great Tang at this time, it would be a tremendous contribution to sending charcoal through the snow. In the future, even if the Hu Luwu Clan’s Clan Leader obtained a Duke and Commandery Prince Feng Ci, it wouldn’t be too much!

Hu Luwu was finally tempted and finally gave in. Other than Su Dingfang’s personal charm and powerful words, he was also deeply impressed by Xue Rengui’s army and the Western Regions’ “legends” about Young Marshal Qin Mubai.

Back then, Xue Rengui was only a soldier and a weary master, killing nine in and nine out of the eighty thousand troops in his Hu Lu House. The fighting strength of the Kansai Army made him feel terrified. Imagine that Xue Rengui was just a general under Qin Mubai. If Qin Mubai personally sent troops to attack, could the Hu Lu Tribe still exist in the world? Moreover, even Tibetan hero Gaer Qinling was defeated repeatedly by Qin Mubai … Compared to Tibet, Hu Lu’s tribe was nothing, and his Hu Lu’s house was nothing.

…

Two days later, Hu Lu’s house had a hundred thousand troops. The commander that belonged to Su Dingfang sent troops to rescue Nanting!

Just as Nanting was about to collapse and exterminate the clan, Su Dingfang led over a hundred thousand troops to attack. The two sides fought intensely on the upper reaches of the Baiyang River for several days, causing countless casualties.

The final outcome of this tough battle was Su Dingfang’s defeat of Ni Shuchuo, the famous general of the Norland. He drove the enemy three hundred kilometers and chased them all the way to the west of Arrowhead Mountain, where Norland’s Ya Tent was located.

If it wasn’t for Su Dingfang’s exhaustion and the interruption of supplies, coupled with the fact that the generals of Hu Lu and Nantian were worried that they wouldn’t be able to defend the mansion far away and had no choice but to withdraw their troops, Su Dingfang would have almost wiped out Norland in one battle.

After this battle, Su Dingfang had only relied on 20,000 Kansai troops and the 100,000 troops he had organized with outstanding diplomatic abilities to defeat the Norland’s main force of 300,000 in one fell swoop, causing his vitality to be greatly damaged. In the Western Regions, the Great Tang had finally blossomed with its first strand of extraordinary brilliance, and from then on, it would shake the entire world!

Su Dingfang was destined to become famous throughout the world!

Hearing this news, Qin Mubai was even happier and more gratified than when he defeated Gaer Qinling.

In Guanxi Army, the star that should be the most dazzling finally rose to prominence. From then on, Su Dingfang would be able to maneuver in the Western Regions-this was an extremely good thing for the Great Tang and Qin Mubai.

After careful consideration, Qin Mubai wrote a letter to Emperor Li Shimin, asking the Imperial Court to reward Su Dingfang for his merits and change his title to Protector General of Anxi. Qin Mubai, on the other hand, was willing to give up the position of Protector General and continue to serve as the “Governor of Lanzhou” to lead the River Dragon.

Qin Mubai did not know whether the Imperial Court would approve or not, nor did he really care. His main purpose was to “divide the credit”.

Qin Mubai was always keen to give credit to more people, unlike most officials who were greedy for credit. First, he could avoid causing his sharpness to overwhelm the master. Secondly, to fulfill others is to enrich oneself.

For example, how could Su Dingfang forget the support and care Qin Mubai had given him in the past?

More powerful auxiliary wings and loyal friends were often much more useful than patronizing one’s own strength.

With a good mood, Qin Mubai finally returned to Shanzhou. Hearing that Qin Mubai had returned triumphantly, the people of Helong welcomed him 60 miles away from the city. They cheered loudly on high songs, colorful flags, gongs, and drums, and the lively atmosphere of celebration reached its peak.

Qin Mubai settled his troops in the barracks outside the city and entered the city with Xue Rengui and the others. He first went to the temporary Governor’s Mansion to pay his respects to the Jiang Xia King, Li Daozong, who was staying behind.

The feeling of returning home was indeed not bad. Although they were exhausted to the extreme, Qin Mubai and the others chatted happily and entered the city in the blink of an eye before arriving in front of the Governor’s Mansion.

Even Yuwen Hongtai, who was severely injured and lying on his bed, was in a hurry to enter the manor, but one of them stopped.

“You guys go first. I’ll go to the post office to rest myself.” Ah Shi Na Xue Lian said to Qin Mubai.

When Qin Mubai heard that something was wrong, he asked the others to enter the manor first and invited Xue Lian to the side. “What’s wrong with you?” He asked.

“Nothing, I just don’t want to go in. I don’t like this kind of liveliness.” Xue Lian said indifferently.

Qin Mubai blinked his eyes and thought. Xue Lian’s mood had been a little depressed all along the way. No matter how happy we were, she was still indifferent. Perhaps she felt that these joys had nothing to do with her. She was just an outsider.

Am I the one who made her feel insecure?

“Xue Lian, I know what you’re thinking.” Qin Mubai held her hand and whispered, “We’ll get married in a few days, okay?”

Xue Lian was stunned and turned his face away. “I’m not marrying.”

“What?” Qin Mubai was also stunned, “You are … almost a child’s mother, why are you still not willing to marry?”

“No reason. If you don’t marry, then you won’t marry.” Xue Lian’s expression suddenly turned cold. She glanced at Qin Mubai and said, “Do you have to marry when you’re pregnant? I can give birth to him myself and raise him up. In the grasslands, there are many children who only know their mothers but not their fathers. Don’t use your Han customs to restrain me.”

“Uh …” Qin Mubai was stunned for a moment. “Then what do you need to do to marry me?”

“No matter what, I won’t marry you.” Xue Lian said resolutely. She shook Qin Mubai’s hand and strode away. She turned around and said, “Don’t chase after me!-You know, I’ve always hated people forcing me to do anything!”

Qin Mubai stood there in a daze and was at a loss for what to do.

In her previous life, Yue Nu had countless veterans who claimed to be in love, but she never expected that she would actually eat such a big turtle here in Xue Lian!

“Why?”

Just as he was muttering to himself, a person walked over from behind him. Qin Mubai looked back and was immediately happy, “Yan!”

“You’re back?” Chen Yan smiled and walked forward. Qin Mubai held her hand.

“Do you know why she left?” Chen Yan nodded in the direction of Xue Lian.

“You saw it all?”

“I’m asking you something!”

‘”Uh” Qin Mubai was stunned for a moment before shaking his head. “This time, I really don’t know what to do. Maybe I treated her wrongly when I was cold!”

“I think it should be said that you don’t respect her enough.” Chen Yan said, “A woman, regardless of whether she comes from a noble or lowly background, hopes that her man will pay attention to her.” A man can have many women in his life, but a woman can only marry one man. This is already unfair. How could she bear to hear you say such a trivial thing about the marriage? Originally, she was a noble princess of the grasslands-you must at least show some sincerity! Also, she’s always following you around in all sorts of shadows like this, so she must be feeling awkward in her heart. Although she comes from the simple grasslands, women have pride. ”

“Ah, after saying so much, just tell me what I should do now!” Qin Mubai scratched her head, as if she had eaten a child who had been caught in the act. She smiled embarrassedly and said, “Actually … I was just confused after a moment of drinking. That … accidentally made a mistake. But now that the matter has come to this point, I definitely have to admit my debt. The problem is …”

“Alright, stop. You can say such heartless words!” Chen Yan shook her head in amusement and anger and sighed, “You’re always like this! You’ll definitely get scolded later–Thief Military Academy, stinking man, you’re going to feel good!”

“Eh?!” Qin Mubai was stunned. “Princess Gao Yang has come to Shanzhou? Where’s Mother Mei?”

“MeiNiang took her caravan to the Western Regions. Gaoyang and I were not idle in Lanzhou, so we came with MeiNiang to Shanzhou to wait for your teacher to return triumphantly.” Chen Yan said, “As for the details, you go back and slowly understand. Now I’ll go find Xue Lian and hope that I can persuade her to come back-don’t giggle at me, I’m only doing this for the sake of getting to know Xue Lian and the Qin Family’s blood! Otherwise, even I would like to scold you!”
