It was already dark. In the Turkic camp, there was a man with eight feet long and willow eyebrows and tiger eyes standing outside the handsome tent, narrowing his eyebrows and eyes staring at the fire in the direction of Liangzhou City. Soon, his solemn face showed a smile, and he asked casually: "Which powerful person is guarding Liangzhou City?"

Standing behind this person, there was a middle-aged man with straight body but slightly thin appearance. The middle-aged man bent down slightly and responded respectfully: "When the commander said, the person who guards Liangzhou City is Wei Zheng, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty and the Minister of Rites."

Hearing this, the tiger-eyed man chuckled and said with a light tone: "I am not asking about Wei Zheng, the marching chief, but the person who commands the battle on the front line."

The middle-aged man said lightly and responded quickly: "This man's surname is Wei and his name is Hong. He has become quite famous in the Tang Dynasty in the past two years."

"Oh? Wei Hong? I have heard of this person. Some time ago, the Uighurs attacked Mazong Mountain without authorization and were defeated by this person! Haha, although this person is not an orthodox soldier, his tactics are strange and changeable, and they can always work. It is quite admirable. I have been on the battlefield for so many years, but only Wei Hong can do it. This time, I am capturing Liangzhou City, I must bring this person to me. I want to see what kind of genius he is!"

The middle-aged man was stunned, straightened his back and looked at the man's back in disbelief: "Master, are you saying you should take it for yourself?"

"Haha, of course not! Isn't there an old saying in the Central Plains that says it well? If you are not my race, your heart will be different! A monster like Wei Hong will stay by your side, which will only be a disaster! After I have played with him, I will naturally send him back to the west so as not to get into trouble again!" said the tiger-eyed man, Feng Qingyun, as if he only regarded Wei Hong as a person who is good at being a skillful and skilled, and did not take it seriously.

The middle-aged man clasped his fists and said respectfully: "The commander is wise! But if the fire at this city gate continues to burn, how should we break through Liangzhou City? After all, there are more than 7,000 defenders in Liangzhou City. With my 20,000 troops, it is not easy to break through Liangzhou City. If we lose too many soldiers and generals, even if we capture Liangzhou City, we will be counterattacked by the Tang Dynasty."

"Liangzhou City? When did I say I want to break through Liangzhou City?" The corner of the tiger-eyed man raised his lips again, looking at Liangzhou City with a blazing fire, curled his lips and said excitedly: "Burn, burn it all the way!"

The middle-aged man was very puzzled and could not understand what the coach was thinking. He frowned and asked, "Coach, since our goal is not Liangzhou City, why do we still launch such a fierce offensive against Liangzhou City? Today alone, our side suffered nearly 3,000 losses! Such a heavy price is really contrary to our interests!"

The tiger-eyed man finally took his sight from the direction of Liangzhou City, turned around and looked at the middle-aged man. After a moment of silence, he reached out and patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder, and chuckled: "Peiji, let me ask you, Liangzhou City is a major border town of the Tang Dynasty, and we cannot conquer it again and again, why do we still attack Liangzhou this time? Why has the army of Tubo and Xiangxiong Dynasty not arrived for a long time?"

After the middle-aged man lowered his head and pondered for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up and looked up at the coach, his eyes full of admiration: "Coach, do you mean that attacking Liangzhou City is just a cover! Our purpose is not to be the city of Liangzhou City, but to attack all the borders of the Tang Dynasty on its entire line and launch a full-scale war against the Tang Dynasty?"

Hearing this, the man with tiger eyes smiled and exclaimed with satisfaction: "Peiji, you are worthy of growing up in the Tang Dynasty since childhood. You have received the wise teachings of the Tang Dynasty. You are really quick-witted! Yes, if the king really wants to attack Liangzhou City, he would not send only 20,000 troops. These 20,000 troops, and the Tuyuhun army are just a guide. The coalition of Tubo and Xiangxiong Dynasty is the top priority. Once the Tubo and Xiangxiong Dynasty start war with the Tang Dynasty, they will be deeply trapped and will never give up. The national strength of the Tang Dynasty is definitely not comparable to that of the Tubo and Xiangxiong Dynasty. Even if the Tubo and Xiangxiong Dynasty join forces, they are only qualified to compete with the Tang Dynasty. When both sides are injured, I can use the benefits of the fisherman! Defeat these Three Kingdoms in one fell swoop!"

Li Peiji's eyes were also shining, praising the coach's wisdom. After being excited, Li Peiji's face suddenly froze and said worriedly: "What should I do with the Eastern Turks?"

The tiger-eyed man didn't take the Eastern Turks seriously at all, and snorted lightly, saying, "Why do you think our army only sent 20,000 cavalry?"

The middle-aged man was stunned and looked at the coach with surprise. After he came back to his senses, his face was ecstatic and his body trembled: "Master, do you mean that the king has sent his army to the border of the Eastern Turkic and launches an attack on the Eastern Turkic at any time?"

The tiger-eyed man nodded without comment, looked back and looked deeper at the direction of Liangzhou, and chuckled: "When the Tang Dynasty fought against the Tubo Xiangxiong Alliance, it is also the time for us to attack the Eastern Turks! After the Eastern Turks were solved, we can take advantage of the victory to pursue Tubo, Xiangxiong, and Tang Dynasty, defeat Tubo in one fell swoop!"

While the tiger-eyed man was planning a great cause, the Khitan territory north of the Tang Dynasty also began to secretly travel to Chencang. The 30,000 army began to retreat quietly, then moved from the hinterland to the west, and then went around a large circle from the west to the south, and went around the outside of Mazong Mountain. The commander who led the Khitan army this time was that he was the one who led the Khitan army to a full-scale attack, but the Khitan army was 45 years old, with a lifetime of military experience, and often fought with the Tang Dynasty. The more he won, the fewer he lost, it was clear that the tactics of the Tang Dynasty were clear. The reason why he came outside the Mazong Mountain this time was that he had already received news early on that the Western Turks, Tubo, Xiangxiong Dynasty, and Tuyuhun launched a full-scale attack on the Tang Dynasty. Originally, the Western Turks wanted to join forces with the Khitans to attack together, but the Khitans rejected the Western Turks on the surface, but in fact they had their own plans.

From the Sui Dynasty to the present day, the Central Plains have repeatedly used troops against the Khitan, and the two sides fought countless battles, but both the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty had more defeats and fewer victories, and they were never able to do anything to the Khitan. Similarly, the Khitan did not dare to attack the Tang Dynasty. After all, the Khitan's national strength and logistics could not keep up, and actively attacking the Tang Dynasty would be more harmful than good. However, after learning about the Western Turks' strategy, the Khitan began to prepare to be a mantis stalking the cicada behind. As long as the Tang Dynasty was tired of dealing with the coalition forces, the Khitan could take advantage of the empty Mazong Mountain to break through Mazong Mountain and attack the inner abdomen of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, if they monopolize the Tang Dynasty, they would be able to take over the entire Central Plains. As for the coalition forces of the Western Turks and Tubo? If they know the truth, they would give up the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, the Khitan would definitely kill these second-rate forces after the development and stability of the Central Plains in the future! (To be continued.)
