Chapter 77 The Way Out of Zhaowu Qushu Branch

The official residence of Longle Yingyang Mansion, also known as Longle Mingyuan, is a courtyard-style building with a vast area. It has a majestic and magnificent gate in front of it, a central hall, a north hall and an east-west wing room, and a corridor connecting each room. The courtyards are connected, with many layers, spacious, deep and magnificent.

The lights in the west wing were bright, and the dim light reflected on the white snow surface outside the house, turning into gorgeous colors.

Jialan, Mao Yuxuan and Zhaowu Qu Shuzhi sat around the stove, drinking and laughing.

Zhaowu Qushuzhi has been hiding in Yingyang Mansion. When Jialan knocked on the door and entered, she was surprised and thought that Jialan and Shi Penglai and Xueer arrived in Dunhuang smoothly. After the surprise, there was an unstoppable disappointment and melancholy. Xueer is now guarding Longcheng, and Shi Penglai is not very dangerous. She will come to Dunhuang later. As for going east to Chang'an, there is no news and can only wait helplessly.

Jialan did not hide it, and described in detail what happened after the two broke up, and analyzed and deduced the future development of the situation in the West and Turkish countries. Jialan comforted Qu Shuzhi, the situation in the east and west places of the Pamirs and the east and west were not good for the Turks. The strategy adopted by the Shekui Khan against the Lite people was obviously wrong. The conflicts within the tent will become increasingly greater. Just wait for Daye Hu Ashinahanhai to succeed Khan, and Zhaowu Qu Shuzhi will definitely return to Kangguo.

Jialan's words revealed a message, that is, the strategy of the Turkish tent to treat Middle-earth or form an alliance in order to ensure the smooth flow of the Silk Road, obtain the benefits of the Silk Road, and obtain some urgently needed war materials from Middle-earth, so as to concentrate efforts to overcome the vast territory west of the Pamir Mountains and join forces with the Great Qin to attack Persia. In this way, the Turks not only needed a long-term alliance with the Great Sui Middle-earth Great Sui Middle-earth Great Sui, but also needed the help of the nine Zhaowu Kingdoms loyal to it. In this way, the Zhaowu Qushu Branch did have a great chance to obtain the support of the Great Sui Middle-earth Great Sui, and then return to Kang Country.

"The conflict between Shekui Khan and the Li Te people is very fierce, and things are not as easy as you think." Zhaowu Qu Shuzhi sighed, "I want to return to Kang Country, not only need the support of the Great Sui Dynasty in the Middle Earth, but also the support of the Turks. Without the support of the Turks, I will not be able to regain the throne even if I return to Kang Country."

Zhaowu Qu Shuzhi looked at Jia Lan with a sad expression, "You know very well this. Are you also looking forward to Daye Hu becoming a khan in the dental tent?"

"Do you believe me?" Galan asked with a smile.

"Of course I believe in you." Zhaowu Qu Shuzhi said, "If it weren't for your help, Dunhuang would be out of reach for me."

Galan stretched out three fingers, "Three years." Galan said, "Three years later, I promise you to return to Kang Country and become the king of Kang Country."

Zhaowu Qu Shuzhi felt a little confused, and I wonder why Jialan was so sure.

When Mao Yuxuan saw the shocked attitude of Zhaowu Qu Shuzhi, he joked, "Jia Lan can see the celestial phenomena and divination. Just count the fingers and you will know the future." After saying that, he curled his lips at Jia Lan, with a sarcastic look on his eyes. In his opinion, Jia Lan had no way to achieve the wish of Zhaowu Qu Shuzhi, and the people of the Sui Dynasty did not have the ability to point fingers at the Turks, let alone interfere with affairs west of the Pamir Mountains. Jia Lan clearly deceived Zhaowu Qu Shuzhi, encouraged Zhaowu Qu Shuzhi to persist, and then took advantage of the status of the Kang State prince in the Kingdom of Kang, and took a group of old wolves in the northwest to secretly go east to Chang'an.

"You said you believe me." Galan smiled, "Since you believe me, don't doubt it. From this moment on, you will plan your strategy to return to Kangguo in three years."

"Galan, you sure I will be able to return to Kangguo in three years?" Zhaowu Qu Shuzhi asked in disbelief. Although he knew that this was stupid, he could not control his emotions and had to ask.

"In the winter nest, Daye Hu told me a lot of things." Jia Lan said, "Daye Hu's purpose is very simple, which is to pass on his ideas to the Huangmen Minister Pei Ge Lao of Chang'an through me. Pei Ge Lao was a close minister of the emperor and had been responsible for formulating Western Turkish strategies in the past. We were all his subordinates." Jia Lan pointed to Mao Yuxuan and continued, "Daye Hu hoped to maintain a long-term alliance with the Sui Dynasty, and of course Chang'an could not ask for it. In this case, your matter is natural. Chang'an cannot agree, and Daye Hu will not agree.

It is impossible for Hu to not agree to the conditions of Chang'an." Jialan made a gesture of killing each other, "How to control the Western Regions such as Lite, Tiel, Kucha and other countries, and deal with the relationship with the Sui Dynasty in China, there are fierce conflicts within the den, and it is inevitable that the corps and feet will be slaughtered, just like when the Khan of Shekui stabbed the Khan in the back of the Nijuechu Luo. Therefore, according to my speculation, there will be drastic changes in the Turkic den in the next three years. Dayehu will definitely be able to successfully win the Khan's position by relying on the support of the Western Chateau crossbow and the Five Tribes of the Five surnames."

"Daye Hu has such ambition?" Zhaowu Qu Shuzhi general was skeptical.

"I am familiar with Nijuechuluo Khan, and I have also had a lot of contact with Shekui Khan and Dayehu. According to my observation, Nijuechuluo Khan is not as good as Shekui Khan, and Shekui Khan is not as good as Dayehu." Jialan said disapprovingly, "The Western Land believes in the strong as kings and advocates bravery. How can a powerful person like Dayehu be willing to live under the influence of others?"

Jialan is a grassroots hero and legendary figure in Xitu. Jialan's confidence is sometimes almost arrogant, but it can infect others. Zhaowu Qu Shuzhi is obviously one. His depressed mood suddenly improved. Jialan's words were like a ray of sunshine that penetrated the haze in his heart, making him feel that it was dawn, hope was right in front of him, victory was at your fingertips, and the cooling blood in his body began to melt and began to rush.

If you really return to Kang State within three years, time will be very tense for the Zhaowu Qushu Branch. Just imagine that from Kang State to Chang'an is thousands of miles away, it will take at least four or five months or even half a year to go smoothly. With the current chaotic and changing situation in the West and the land, the road will not be smooth. Even if it takes a year and a half to travel, then the time left for the Zhaowu Qushu Branch to be fully dominated by Zhaowu Qushu Branch is only one or two years left. This year and a half not only will we meet the Emperor of the Great Sui, convince the Emperor of the Great Sui to influence and even change the Western Land strategy of the Great Sui, but also return to Kang State with the help of the Great Sui people. This includes negotiations between the Great Sui people and the Turks, exchanges between the envoys on both sides, etc. So no matter how you calculate this time, it is extremely tense and not enough.

Zhaowu Qu Shuzhi suddenly stood up, bowed to the ground, and said respectfully, "Please give Jialan a few tips. In the future, we will repay you. Kang Guo and Zhaowu's ninth surname will remember Jialan's kindness."

Jialan hurriedly stood up and helped him, "The third prince is so serious, but the words are so serious. The nine surnames of Zhaowu originated from Middle Earth, and you and I have the same roots and origins. Jialan has nothing to ask for, but only wants Li Te to be in love with me in the Sui Dynasty."

This is a big talk and has no practical meaning. Zhaowu Qu Shuzhi knew in his heart that if Jialan helped him so much, he would have something to ask for, otherwise he would not be the northwestern wolf who was famous in the Western Land, but a living Bodhisattva with great compassion and compassion.

"Shipman Feng and Shuai Wang of the Wei Mansion have reported your affairs to Chang'an." After sitting back, Galan said slowly, "Originally, this should be the responsibility of the Laolang Mansion. The Wei Mansion is suspected of being in the place of interfering in the affairs, but at that time, the Changsun Duwei was in Qiang City. Considering the urgency of the situation, it is reasonable for the Wei Mansion to report to Chang'an on the occasion."

"This is a secret memorial, which was transferred by Feng Shuai and Wang Shuai's old official, Xue Shixiong, to the Huangmen Assistant Minister Pei Shiju. General Xue and Pei Ge Lao once conquered Yiwu to manage the Western Land and had a sense of charity. Now they are on the side of the emperor, Pei Ge Lao was in charge of the Western Land and the rules, so whether this secret memorial will be submitted to the emperor will be decided by Pei Ge Lao."

"By my guess, Mr. Pei Ge, considering the complex struggles between the forces in the northwest, he would not dare to rashly interfere in the northwest affairs, so as not to leave a justification for power struggle. Therefore, I can be sure that this secret message is still with Mr. Pei Ge."

Zhaowu Qu Shuzhi frowned slightly and remained silent. Although he was anxious, he knew almost nothing about the matter of Central Earth, especially the Chang'an Central Committee. Now he could only rely on Galan to give him advice.

"Longcheng is the key, and the strategy of the Weifu is even more important." Jialan said, "If Feng Shuai can resolve the Longcheng crisis in the shortest time, ensure that the food and supplies can be quickly transported to Qiang City, and ensure that the Sui Dynasty still occupy the Shanshan land in the name, then after learning that the situation in the Western Land and Land situation suddenly changed, Chang'an would highly praise the Weifu's proper handling of the crisis, and would praise Feng Shuai and Wang Shuai of the Hexi Weifu. At this time, in order to resolve the Western Land and Land crisis, the emperor could rely on was the most important thing.

Pei Ge Lao, who is familiar with the affairs of the Western Land, can be legitimately involved in the Northwest affairs and take the opportunity to report to the emperor that the third prince of Kang State had taken refuge in Hexi and asked for help from the Sui Dynasty. He would also give Feng Shuai and Wang Shuai a merit. At the same time, he would offer advice to the emperor to help the third prince return to Kang State as an opportunity to establish a long-term alliance with the Turks, and secretly form a alliance with the Daye Guard Ashinahanhai to intensify his conflict with the Shekui Khan, and then suppress and delay the speed of the Turks' rise again."

Galan paused for a moment when he said this, and after a little thought, he said, "According to my estimate, you will receive the imperial edict from the emperor as early as the year after."

Hearing this, the resentment in Zhaowu Qu Shuzhi's heart disappeared, but instead felt a little guilty. Qu Shuzhi didn't say anything, and felt quite resentful. Now he realized that he had blamed Jialan for wrongly because he wanted to ensure the safety of Longcheng. Jialan returned first with a pegasus and relied on his influence on the commander of the Wei Mansion to convince the Wei Mansion to accept his strategy and then ensure that the situation develops in a direction conducive to Zhaowu Qu Shu's journey to the east. As a result, he had a deeper understanding of Jialan's talent and admired him.

"But in this way, the relationship between Laolang Mansion and the Wei Mansion became tense and the conflict became prominent."

"As an independent official office that manages the Western Regions, the Duwei Mansion of the Western Regions, failed to detect and deal with this crisis in time. In particular, the Duwei of the Changsun Duwei personally rushed to the Qiang to command the command. As a result, not only did he fail to turn the tide, but he almost wiped out the entire army. What he lost was not only his face, but his ability would also be questioned. The result was that he would bear all the guilt, lose his official position, and leave in a mess."

"As soon as Changsun Duwei left, can Pei Ge Lao regain the Old Wolf Mansion? It is impossible. If the central power struggle was so simple, there would be no Yiwu Dao disaster last year, and Pei Ge Lao would not give up control of the Old Wolf Mansion. Therefore, if Changsun Duwei was defeated, the result would inevitably be that the central power struggle would become fierce again. This would inevitably affect Pei Ge Lao's strategy of the Western Land, the emperor's decision to make the Western Land, and ultimately affect the Third Prince's plan to restore the country."

Zhaowu Qu Shuzhi has been struggling in the whirlpool of power struggle since childhood. He naturally understood the words of Galan. He asked anxiously, "Can Jialan, where will it come up?"

"The Changsun Duwei was defeated by Lou Guandao. This time he was plotted by Lou Guandao." Jialan said, "Changsun Heng'an was able to take charge of the Laolang Mansion, which was the result of the efforts of the Guanlong powerful people. The Lou Guandao hidden behind the Guanlong powerful people also made an indispensable contribution. The Guanlong powerful people and the Lou Guandao are mutually exploited. The Changsun Duwei represents the interests of the Guanlong powerful people. If Lou Guandao wants to gain benefits from the northwest, he must first control the Laolang Mansion and Changsun Heng'an. Lou Guandao originally wanted to use this time to achieve this goal, but the plan failed, so they shrank their heads and hid, and all the responsibilities were returned to Changsun Heng'an. The contradiction between the two expanded, which can be said to be at the point of drawing swords toward each other."

Mao Yuxuan was a little impatient and raised his hand to interrupt Jia Lan, "You plan to share half of the contributions to the Laolang Mansion and Changsun Hengan, right?"

"That's right." Jia Lan smiled, "The Wei Mansion and the Laolang Mansion are already full of conflicts. Faced with today's situation in the West and Turkey, if the conflict between the two sides intensifies, the greatest damage to interests will undoubtedly be themselves. The principle is very simple, but the Wei Mansion cannot come forward directly in this matter. If Feng Shuai and Wang Shuai come forward, it will not only mean giving alms, which will make Changsun Hengan embarrassed and angry, but will also attract the attention of Changan. For example, Pei Ge Lao will doubt whether Feng Shuai and Wang Shuai have the intention to show kindness to the great powers of Guanlong, whether they have cooperated with Lou Guandao in terms of interests, etc.."

Mao Yuxuan looked at Jia Lan and shook his head repeatedly, "No wonder Ming Gong liked you back then, and the old coach liked you, and they all liked to bring you with him. It turns out that you really have the ability to think of a very simple thing so complicated. Since it is so complicated, you will naturally deal with it."

"What am I? Can I come out publicly in the garrison of Tulunchuan and the deserters of Moyingyang Mansion?" Jia Lan shook her hand and smiled at Zhaowu Qushu, who was conscious of something, "The third prince of Kang State should come forward for this matter. We hide behind us, give advice for him, and run around."

"Jia Lan, have you obtained the consent of Feng Shuai and Wang Shuai?" Zhao Wu Qu Shuzhi looked embarrassed.

"This kind of thing cannot be expressed in words, but can only be understood." Jia Lan smiled. "The news has not been heard from Chang'an for a long time, which means that Mr. Pei has suppressed the secret report. Mr. Pei's meaning is very clear. He is at the forefront. Even if he has the opportunity to interfere in the Northwest affairs, he cannot re-take the Laolang Mansion, so as not to intensify the central conflict, delay the decision-making of the Western Land, and delay state affairs."

"Old Pei Ge's meaning is clear. If Changsun Heng'an wants to continue to let Changsun Heng'an take charge of the Laolang Mansion, then Feng Shuai and Wang Shuai cannot monopolize their merits. So Feng Shuai tried me several times and inquired about my purpose of going east to Chang'an..."

"Are you going to Chang'an?" Zhaowu Qu Shuzhi asked excitedly, "Jalan, did you say you want to go to Chang'an?"

"The central power struggle is fierce. If the emperor continues to adopt Pei Ge Lao's Western Tu Strategy this time, you will undoubtedly become a pawn of the central power struggle." Jia Lan said seriously, "If you die, how can Pei Ge Lao's Western Tu Strategy be implemented? Since you can't give it, Pei Ge Lao's strategy is useless. It is unknown which side the emperor will adopt next. No matter which side the strategy the emperor adopts, it is very likely that either side will completely control the northwest. Whoever controls the northwest will control the greatest interests of the northwest."

Zhaowu Qu Shuzhi was secretly surprised. He was familiar with the struggle for central power, but at this moment he had just stepped into Middle-earth and was involved in the struggle for Chang'an power, which may not be too alarmist.

"I have to go to Chang'an." Jia Lan pointed to Mao Yuxuan, "He went too. My brothers all want to go. The purpose is to ensure your safety until you meet the emperor."

Zhaowu Qu Shuzhi was grateful. He said anything he said was redundant at this moment, and he would repay him if he had the chance in the future.

"Feng Shuai's intention is very obvious. He thought that Mr. Pei and I had always kept in secret contact. He wanted to know Mr. Pei's meaning, but he was worried that the struggle for power in Chang'an would affect his future, so he was hesitant." Jia Lan's words came back to the original title, "We took advantage of Feng Shuai's misunderstanding and the third prince came forward to pay a visit to Chief Sun Hengan and came up with a plan to let the Wei Mansion and Laolang Mansion share the credit equally."

"What strategy?" Mao Yuxuan asked.

"From the escape from Suyechuan to Dunhuang, the three princes were all planned by Changsun Duwei." Jialan smiled, "Including Shi Penglai, they were all hired by Laolang Mansion. I was in Tulunchuan, Buyi and Jiangduhou were in Tianmashu, and Changsun Duwei went to Dongwo to respond. After a lot of hardships, he finally completed this huge plan that lasted more than a year, and the purpose was to help the Lite people to curb the Turks."

"In other words, although the situation in the West and the Turkish country is tense, the Laolang Mansion has made a plan in advance. The Changsun Commander is far-sighted, has a strategic plan, and is more skilled." Mao Yuxuan mocked, "The Laolang Mansion not only has no mistakes, but has made contributions."

"Of course, this time, the Laolang Mansion not only destroyed the Tielle Alliance, surrendered the Qie Gelang and the Qie Bird, but also planted the seeds to curb the rise of the Turks again. It can be said that there are many eagles in one shot." Jialan said seriously, "The Wei Mansion cooperated with tacit understanding and cooperated with the Laolang Mansion, and finally took the initiative in the situation in the West and Turkey."

"In this situation, we also take the initiative in the situation in the West and Turkey?" Mao Yuxuan scoffed.

"Who will tell the emperor that we have lost control of the situation in the West and the Turkish situation? Will the Wei Mansion say? Will the left-behind mansion say? Will the Laolang Mansion say? Will Pei Ge say?" Jialan asked, "Whoever says will arouse public anger, and whoever is the target of public criticism will undoubtedly die."

Mao Yuxuan was silent.

Zhaowu Qu Shuzhi was amazed and easy to plan. In this way, the Laolang Mansion made contributions and the relationship with the Wei Mansion improved. Pei Ge Lao from Chang'an would not have a direct conflict with his political enemies. His Western Turkish strategy was basically the Lao Mansion's strategy, so the implementation of the Western Turkish strategy was guaranteed, and the security of Zhaowu Qu Shuzhi was guaranteed immediately. Returning to Kang State was no longer a dream.
