The western region was developing well.
The common people had no intention of resisting. In addition, Li Qiu had used both kindness and power to reward the good and punish the evil. Therefore, the Western Regions had never been so orderly.
Under such circumstances, Li Qiu followed the system's advice and ordered the excavation of mountains and quarries, the construction of bridges and roads, and the gradual advancement to the east.
……
"Your Highness, the official road stretches from west to east for dozens of miles. Within this distance, our speed can be more than doubled!”
A trusted aide came to report the situation. After Li Qiu heard it, he couldn't help but smile.
"Well done!"
"The time isn't ripe for a counterattack against the Great Tang, but the road needs to be repaired as soon as possible.”
Li Qiu listened to his subordinate's report and was quite satisfied.
The journey from the Western Regions to the Central Plains was long. If there was no good road, how could they attack? Therefore, building roads was also a top priority!
However, at this moment, the system notification suddenly sounded.
"Ding!"
"Because the Turkic cavalry is approaching, a new god has chosen to activate!”
"1. Avoiding and not fighting, defending the city.”
" Reward: No matter how much reputation is lowered, no one will rebel…"
"2. Fight and win!"
" Reward: Ferghana Horse!"
"3. Take the initiative to attack and wipe out all enemies.”
"Reward: Ferghana Horse X1, Mysterious Fortune Bag X1.”
"The Turks have indeed come…"
Before the system notification stopped, Li Qiu had already stood up abruptly. His eyes were shining brightly, but he didn't know what the situation was like…
"Pass it to Chen Qingzhi!"
With a command, Chen Qingzhi quickly arrived, and many of Li Qiu's trusted aides gathered.
"Your Highness, did you suddenly summon us here because you have important instructions?”
Everyone was confused. They didn't know why Li Qiu had called them over.
"The Turkic cavalry is approaching!"
" What?!"
"It's actually the Turkic cavalry?"
"Does Jie Li Khan not have a brain? They dared to attack at such a distance?”
"How did Your Highness find out?"
Li Qiu's words instantly shocked everyone. They had all known that the Turkic envoy had been killed, but they had never imagined that the Turkic cavalry would attack in such a short time.
After all, this simply didn't make sense. Although the distance between the Turkic lands and the Western Regions wasn't as great as the distance between the Central Plains and the Western Regions, it wasn't much different.
With such a long distance, where did Jie Li Khan get his confidence from?
This was a question that puzzled everyone.
Apart from that, they were also curious about where Li Qiu had gotten the news from.
Although there were many spies scattered outside, logically speaking, the first to receive the news should be their trusted aides and deputy generals.
After all, they were the ones in charge of the scouts.
But now, Li Qiu had already received the news, but he had no news at all. This was clearly somewhat abnormal!
"Your Highness, you said that the Turkic cavalry had invaded, but we didn't receive any relevant information. Did someone mislead you?"”
"That's right, Your Highness. Our spies have not sent back any news. Could this be some kind of scheme?”
Before he finished speaking…
"Report!"
"Reporting to Your Highness!"
A scout's expression was ugly." In the northeast, there's a cloud of dust. I think there's a large number of cavalrymen coming!" he said anxiously.”
"I still need to confirm the exact situation…"
"Report!"
Another scout barged in and knelt on one knee."Your Highness, we've confirmed that it's Turkic cavalry. We don't know how many there are, but there are at least fifty thousand of them. They've already entered the Western Regions and are less than two hundred li from our capital!”
Peng!
"The Turks actually dare to invade?" Zhan Peng slammed the table and stood up.”
"At least fifty thousand Turkic cavalry.”
"The Turkic cavalry are skilled at riding and archery. Their horses are faster than ours, and their longbows are sharper than ours. If tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry attack, we might not be able to gain an advantage.”
"How should we deal with it?"
The expressions of the deputies turned grave.
It wasn't to the extent of their expressions changing at the mention of the Turks, but everyone knew that the Turkic cavalry were not to be trifled with, so they didn't dare to underestimate them.
After all, it was a fact that Turkic horses were faster. Moreover, they were nomadic people who were good at riding and shooting, and had grown up on horseback. In terms of cavalry, the cavalry they led was no match for Turkic cavalry.
At the very least, there was almost no chance of winning against the same number of people!
Fortunately, there were close to a hundred thousand iron cavalry and thirty thousand tiger leopard cavalry in the city…
Although he had never seen the Tiger Leopard Cavalry in real battle, just from their aura, he knew that the Tiger Leopard Cavalry was definitely not weak!
As a result, they only felt solemn in the face of the Turkic cavalry, not fearful.
"General Chen, what do you think?"
Li Qiu didn't directly answer the many deputies. Instead, he looked at Chen Qingzhi and smiled indifferently.
Chen Qingzhi also revealed a smile and immediately bowed.""My lord, in this subordinate's opinion, I'm afraid that His Highness has already made up his mind, right?”
"I can't hide it from you."
Li Qiu shook her head and chuckled. Then, she said seriously,"Pass on this king's order! Chen Qingzhi led 30,000 Tiger Leopard Cavalry and attacked. They had to wipe out the Turkic cavalry a hundred miles away from the capital!”
"Zhanpeng, lead five deputies and fifty thousand cavalry to block the path of retreat of the Turkic cavalry!”
"This time, this king will take the initiative to attack and wipe out the Turkic cavalry!”
"Yes!"
Chen Qingzhi's smile was brilliant, as if there was some great good news that made him extremely happy. However, in reality, he was excited that he could once again fight on the battlefield.
" Respected Royal Highness's order!!"
Zhanpeng and the other vice generals received their orders and left in a short period of time.
"Ding!"
" Master's choice has been confirmed!"
" Option 3, initiate an attack and wipe out the enemy. Mission in progress…"
At the same time, the choice was confirmed.
After doing all of this, Li Qiu looked at the palace that was quickly emptied. The corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly."Ayena, are you willing to watch the Tiger Leopard Cavalry with me?”
"Whatever Master says, it will be.”
Ayena nodded lightly, indicating that she agreed…
"Alright, follow me!"
In the next moment, Li Qiu left the palace and rode on a horse with Ayena. Accompanied by a hundred personal guards, they followed behind the Tiger Leopard Cavalry and left…
……
" Full speed charge!!!"
At the front of the Tiger Leopard Cavalry, Chen Qingzhi was dressed in a white robe. He did not give any profound orders, but his aura was like a rainbow, as if no existence could resist it.
The thirty thousand Tiger Leopard Cavalry galloped on their horses without any nonsense. They were extremely disciplined!
"This is my first battle since you joined my lord!”
"You must show off your brilliance. You must not be looked down upon by others, and you must not embarrass the lord. Do you understand?!”
"We understand!"
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
