Various guards grew up in the Liangzhou territory like mushrooms after a rain, and even finally the names of beggars, butcher guards, and Iron Lady Invincible SS appear in the border guard list in Liangzhou.

Liu Shan was completely helpless. In order to prevent the Turks, he needed a large number of troops, but there was no reinforcement in the south, and the surrounding prefectures and counties were in a tight spot, so he could not send a single soldier at all. The only way was to use materials locally and form an army on the spot.

But Liu Shan also understood that the newly formed army did not have much combat power at all. It was either a fight to the army, put on armor, and took weapons, or a warrior. These armies did not even dare to send the first group to the battlefield. The reason was very simple. The rushing armies were very likely. No, it was possible that they would collapse when they first saw the cavalry array of Turkic cavalry like a sea of ​​smoke. Liu Shan deeply understood the disastrous consequences of the collapsed army, so after forming various armies, Liu Shan also began to think about what these armies would do then.

The one who wears armor is not the one who picks up weapons is not the one who picks up weapons. This is a real truth to the armies under Liu Shan at this time.

At this time, Liu Shan had another important thing to do. He asked someone to draft three letters. The contents of the three letters were almost the same. Except for the different names, there were not many changes in other places.

These letters are all the same. Given the urgent military situation in the border areas of Liangzhou and the specific situation that the Tang army could not withdraw from the Central Plains at this time, the Liangzhou border generals had already begun to recruit troops on the spot. In order to protect their homes, the people of Liangzhou were extremely enthusiastic about joining the army. Before avenging the national humiliation, the Liangzhou defenders would definitely defend Liangzhou and swear to live and die with Liangzhou.

The words of these three letters are extremely earnest and tragic. In the letter, Liu Shan described the emergency situation in the border area of ​​Liangzhou in detail. This description and the reality of the Turkic army's obsession support the inevitability and correctness of Liu Shan's conscription. Later, he vowed to live and die with Liangzhou to show the Liangzhou defenders' desire to fight to the death.

In fact, the meaning of these letters is that I, Liu Shan, recruiting troops here, are all correct and legal, and they all have to do this under the pressure of the Turkic army.

Liu Shan knew in his heart that no matter how correct he was, those in power were deeply taboo about private recruitment. In the past, he was a rebel army and a peasant army, and he fought with those in power, so he naturally didn't have to worry about the attitude of those in power. However, at this time he was a Liangzhou garrison. Although he had no official position or specific position, he was within the scope of the Liangzhou garrison. So, no matter what he did, he had to think about the attitude of those in power.

Writing these letters is to let those in power know the specific situation in Liangzhou and to avoid leaving Liangzhou in the future.

These three letters were sent to three places, one for the King of Qin. Liu Shan secretly asked someone to ride a fast horse and repeatedly told him to deliver it. One was for the crown prince, and Lin Meng's letter sent together with Lin Meng's letter. This also made Lin Meng less willing to let go, because Liu Shan was sure that Lin Meng would definitely look at his letter first. The other letter was for the court, and he used very formal documents to the court through absolutely formal channels. This letter was also sent to the court by Liu Shan and Lin Meng in a joint letter. After all, Liu Shan did not have an official position. At this time, the garrison of Liangzhou was Lin Meng, and Lin Meng naturally needed Lin Meng nodded in agreement to the court.

Of course, Lin Meng also agreed. After all, the reality is there at this time. Liangzhou is about to welcome the Turkic army. At this time, more force is needed to defend Liangzhou, which will only benefit and not harm Lin Meng.

On the night the letter was sent, the army on the Turkic grassland had already set out from the grassland and headed straight for Liangzhou.

When the army set off, the Jie Li Khan of the Turks met with the patriarchs of major tribes on the Turkic grassland. There had been no such large-scale military operations on the grassland for a long time. The soldiers gathered together on the grassland. The Khan of the grassland stood between the camp tents shining with flames. The surroundings were covered with camp tents. The neighing of war horses filled his ears. The soldiers faintly shook the earth under their feet as they walked.

In the firelight, there were a pile of human heads in front of Jie Li Khan. These were the heads of soldiers on the grassland. They were brought back by the Liangzhou border troops. After a few days on the road, the eye sockets of these heads had been sunken, and some places had even begun to rot. Even if they were placed outside and were blown by the wind, a foul stench still came from the pile of heads.

Jie Li Khan held his hands tightly, and the bigwigs of the tribes on the surrounding grasslands all looked as if they were wearing iron masks. The firelight jumped on their faces, and they were as ferocious as beasts.

When did the grassland people suffer such humiliation? Their own troops were actually chopped off by a small general from the other side, and they even asked the soldiers to send these heads to the tent.

This is a naked provocation, an insult to the great Turkic Khan and the brave warriors on the grassland. It is also an insult to the tribes on the grassland.

"Today, I am very happy that the patriarchs have come to the tent. The grassland has not been so lively for a long time. But yesterday I received something from the Liangzhou garrison. You have seen that they slaughtered our warriors and humiliated the soul of a Turkic warrior. Their despicableness, shamelessness, arrogance and ignorance have completely angered me." Jie Li Khan of the Turkic roared loudly, and he picked up a rotten skull in the pile of heads.

"Have you ever seen a flock of sheep who dared to challenge the wolf? We must let the arrogant southerners know the consequences of humiliating our grassland warriors. Today we gather here to let these people who don't know the heights of the sky and the earth know the power of our grassland warriors. We will pacify Liangzhou and sweep Chang'an. Dear patriarchs, next month, we will definitely drink horses in the Wei River."

Jie Li Khan almost didn't have to do any sensational pre-war mobilization, and there was no need to say anything above nonsense, but as a Turkic Khan, some nonsense still had to say. When the various Turkic tribes saw the piles of heads, they were already impulsively like male wolf in heat on the grassland, and Turkic people on the grassland were howling shrillly like wolf cubs. At this time, if there was a full moon above their heads, it would be even more vivid, but at this time there was only a wolf-tooth crescent moon above their heads. The cavalry of the brigade gathered together, and the blood was surging fiercely in their chests. Horse hooves stepped across the grassland that was about to turn yellow, and groups of cavalry flowed south like rivers gathered.

On the vast grassland, soldiers and iron cavalry flooded the once desolate grassland. Teams of cavalry were like black clouds. The neighing of war horses was far away. The loud voices of the soldiers disturbed the small animals on the grassland. The army moved, and even the mice that wanted to sleep in could not rest.

This time, the king on the grassland personally led his army to Liangzhou. The clouds above Liangzhou seemed to know this terrifying bad news. Liangzhou was covered with clouds in September, and the sky was gloomy and seemed to be about to be suppressed.

One day later, when the vanguard of the Turkic cavalry arrived at the border of Liangzhou, Liu Shan stood on the city wall and saw a shallow black line growing thicker in the distance, and swarms of cavalry were flooded like floods. Looking up, they were all crowds like locusts. Even though they were far away, Liu Shan faintly heard the rumbling sounds coming from his feet. And under the dim sky, the reflection of the weapons in the cavalry's hands was lit up, like a rush of metal.

Liu Shan and Lin Meng stood at the top of the city wall, and the newly formed legions behind them were still speeding up time to repair and thicken the city wall. This was the only thing Liu Shan dared to let them do at this time.

"There are so many people!" Liu Shan sighed.

"Yes! I think there are at least 30,000 people." Lin Meng said a number he guessed.

"I poked the hornet's nest, and all the hornets came out."

Lin Meng was surprised that Liu Shan was still in the mood to joke at this time.

"These are just vanguard legions, and I don't know how many troops there are behind!" Lin Meng said worriedly.
