Langdale and his entourage, carrying a large amount of wine, meat and food, approached the military camp by the Baiyu River under the leadership of a Han military lieutenant.
The solemn atmosphere in the camp gave him a premonition that something was not going well.
There were rows of Han soldiers training in neat rows, strict sentries and patrols, and not a single person was seen in this camp.
In the middle of the camp stands a tall tooth flag with a big "Liu" embroidered on it.
Why is it called the tooth flag because the tooth flag is often decorated with ivory, and its vertical edges are tooth-shaped.
Represents the coach.
Behind the Yaqi is a large tent.
This is the commander's tent, also called the Yazhang.
In front of the tent, there are soldiers and guards standing, standing solemnly with swords and guns.
The entourage was asked to stay outside to wait to receive food, supplies, wine and meat, and only Langdale was allowed to enter the tent.
Langdale followed the captain into the dental tent and saw some people sitting in the tent.
Sitting on the main seat in front was a tall, heroic-looking general with a high official authority, and civil servants were sitting on the saddles on both sides. and generals.
"Langdal, the auxiliary prince of Khotan, pays homage to the imperial envoys, generals and other distinguished officials of the Han Dynasty," Langdal said loudly while saluting.
Liu Cheng looked at Langdale.
He had an unattractive appearance, but his eyes showed that he was a shrewd and cunning person.
"Forgive me, Langdale, you are a member of the royal family of Khotan."
Langdale replied: "Returning to the Imperial Envoy, all our officials in Khotan are members of the royal family.
This is something that many people know."
"Why did you come to see me?"
"So that the general can know that our king was extremely happy when he heard that the Han Dynasty sent an imperial envoy.
However, because of his hidden illness, he was unable to walk.
Yesterday, he sent a junior minister with the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to greet the imperial envoy and the imperial envoy outside the gate of the West City.
The soldiers accompanying the army and the people in the city were also very I wanted to see the general and the Han soldiers in style, but I didn't expect that the general and the soldiers did not go to Xicheng, but camped on the bank of the Baiyu River.
This morning, the king asked the ministers to bring a large amount of food, food, wine and meat to work for the army.
My thoughts on Khotan” "I have accepted the grain, grass, food, wine and meat," Liu Cheng nodded, and said, "Go back and thank your king for your kindness on behalf of me.
In addition, please tell him that I, the general, have important matters to discuss with him.
Let him come to the camp tomorrow to meet with this general."
Langdale looked embarrassed when he heard this, "General, the king is not good at what he does.
I'm afraid he won't be able to come to meet with the general."
Liu Cheng stood up and walked to Lang Dale and said coldly: "You mean to let me, the general, go to the palace to meet the king of your country."
Langdale's momentum was taken away, and Na Na said: "I don't dare, I don't dare, that's not what I mean.
What I mean is that everyone should think about whether there is a better way."
Liu Cheng waved his hand and shouted: "No, either he goes out of the city to see me, or I go into the city to see him.
There are only two possibilities.
Which one do you think should be done?"
"This, this" Rondale was speechless.
After Langdale was driven out of the camp by Liu Cheng and hurriedly returned to the West City, he came to the palace and reported to An Cheng the meeting with Liu Cheng.
An Guo looked solemn and said in a heavy tone: "It seems that they are here to cause trouble."
Langdale was a little panicked and asked: "Then King, what are we going to do?
They have 10,000 soldiers and horses.
They are not vegetarians.
We only have 1,000 guards in the city and only 4,000 in the military camp outside the city.
Just in case.
If they fall out, they can ask us to change our government in an instant."
The postmaster of Xicheng stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think it is necessary for us to bring back the troops deployed in several other cities, and secretly ordered the recruitment of soldiers from all over the country to prevent the Han army from being disadvantageous to us.

This is not impossible, but It is very possible.
In Han Chinese terms, we must take precautions before it happens."
Langdale was not too optimistic about this.
He said: "Your Majesty, whether it is to order the garrisons deployed in other cities to be transferred back, or to order the recruitment of soldiers from all over the country, it will take time.
Today I started from today's Han Army.
I felt an unusual atmosphere in the camp.
It was a chilling atmosphere.
I don’t know if the Han envoys have given orders to harm us, but I can feel that their visit this time is not just for a look or a long walk.
That’s all” These words made An Guo and the Khotan ministers and generals present look even more solemn.
General Zuo said: "So even if the king leaves the palace to greet them outside the city, they will find excuses to be disadvantageous to us.
So we might as well make preparations first.
Otherwise, it’s easy to be caught off guard by them.”
"Yes, Your Majesty, we cannot be passively attacked.
The Han people have a saying that strikes first to gain strength.
Your Majesty suggested that we should immediately transfer the garrison outside the city into the city to strengthen defense, and then order the garrison from other towns to be brought back.
At the same time, we ordered to warn the troops from all over the country.
Come to Xicheng to fight the Han army, I don’t believe that with all the strength of our country, we can’t defeat this mere 10,000 Han soldiers.”
Another postmaster stood up and suggested: "Your Majesty, now that the king and the king of Shule are related to each other, why don't you send someone to the Shule Kingdom of Sri Goliduodi to persuade the king to send troops to join our attack?
The Han army came with great momentum.
They heard that Panren, the former king of Shanshan Kingdom, had been beheaded by them.
I am afraid that the Han army will not give us a good look even if we have established a king.
Once our country of Khotan is attacked by the Han army, the country of Sri Goli Duodi will not end well.
I think your in-laws should He won’t sit still and wait for death, and we can also ask the princess to blow his pillow, and this will definitely happen.”
An Guo stood up suddenly and asked: "You said that Banren of Shanshan State had been killed by the imperial envoy of the Han Dynasty and a new king was established.
Is this true?"
"It is absolutely true.
This news was discovered by the spies stationed in Yixun City secretly.
What was just reported cannot be false."
This news deeply shocked An Guizhou, and he trembled all over.
He finally understood that the purpose of the Han army's coming this time was not just a formality.
They came to kill chickens and monkeys, and a king like him should be killed.
Chickens like him, killing chickens like him can scare other monarchs in the Western Regions and make them be honest and never dare to make small moves again.
Anguo took a deep breath, pointed at the postmaster and ordered: "Go back immediately to make preparations.
Today, you will set off for the Kingdom of Sri Goliduodhi to persuade its king to send troops to attack the Han army with our country.
Tell him, If our country is defeated by the Han army, the Han army will never let them go."
"Understood, I will go back and make preparations now, and we will set off in the afternoon."
Anguo immediately ordered: "Since we are going to fight, we must do our best to come.
He sent an order to recruit the troops stationed in Pishan and Xiye to come quickly, and ordered to recruit men over the age of fifteen to carry their own weapons, horses and camels.
Come and join the battle in Langdale.
The Han army still needs you to deal with them, appease them, and make them less wary.
Moreover, the news that we have mobilized troops and recruited soldiers from all over the country to join the war must be blocked and cannot be known to the Han people."
"Understood, Your Majesty" An hour later, a veiled woman came to the back door of the Western Region Chang Shi's Mansion.
After knocking on the door, the back door opened, revealing a head: "Who are you looking for, girl?"
The veiled woman raised her hand to show the jade ring on her finger: "I have something important to report to Mr.
Shi."

The person inside the door looked at it, his eyes froze, and he immediately walked out and looked around.
No suspicious person was found in the alley, so he said: "Quickly go in."
Then the woman was brought to the main hall of Chang Shi's Mansion by the gatekeeper.
He asked her to wait for a moment and went in to report.
After a while, he came out and said to her: "The man has invited a girl, please come with me."
The two of them walked through a long corridor and came to the main hall.
The veiled woman came forward and bowed: "Greetings to the Lord."
Shi Fu waved his hand to let everyone else leave, then stood up and walked down to help the veiled woman up and said: "Why are you here?
Didn't I say that if it's not a big deal, you are not allowed to show up easily?"
The veiled woman whispered: "Master Fu, this matter is very important.
I had to take the risk and came here just an hour ago."
After listening to the veiled woman's narration, Shi Fu showed shock and anger: "Yuchi Anguo is crazy.
He is really crazy.
He wants to fight against the king's army with just Khotan, even if he can unite with the Han Dynasty to call Shule Kingdom A lucky win.
Did the Han Dynasty only have these 10,000 troops?
Besides, General Liu Cheng Liu was able to defeat Dong Zhuo and revive the imperial court.
He also knew the importance of the Western Regions and led his troops to patrol the Western Regions.
How could he be an ordinary person?
" The veiled woman did not make a sound.
She was only responsible for delivering the message and could not speak.
She just stayed there quietly and waited for Shi Fu's instructions.
Shi Fu walked anxiously around the lobby with his hands behind his back, but he was thinking about what to do about this matter in his mind.
After a long time, he slowly stopped and said sadly: "That's all, this matter is no longer mine.
Chang Shi can influence this matter.
This matter must be reported to General Sikong Liu.
Army, as for how Lord Sikong will react, only God knows.
You go back and continue to keep an eye on Anguo.
If there is any important news, you need to report it immediately.
Also, in case, I mean, in case of turmoil in the palace, you must You have to hide and protect yourself as soon as possible, do you understand?"
"I understand" Soon, a man in a shop in the city rode a fast horse out of the city, and then galloped towards the Han army camp.
In the Han army camp, Liu Cheng and Jingjue Queen Nagaya were walking in the camp.
Captain Yuanmen rushed over and clasped his fists to report: "General, the Governor of the Western Regions has sent someone to report some urgent and important matters."
Liu Cheng heard this and said, "Bring him here."
"promise" The person who reported the news was quickly brought over and saluted Liu Cheng: "The villain Guan Liang pays homage to the general.
Mr.
Chang Shi sent the villain to report something important."
Liu Cheng raised his hand and said: "Speak" "This" Guan Liang hesitated when he saw Nagaya next to him.
Nagaya quickly said: "I'll go over there and have a look."
Liu Cheng was about to call her, but Nagaya had already walked away, so he had no choice but to say to the person who reported the news: "Say it."
"Master Shifu asked me to tell you, sir."
Liu Cheng's expression changed completely before he finished listening.
He waited for the messenger to finish.
He held the handle of the knife and pondered for a long time, and then said to the messenger: "Okay, I know, general.
You go back and tell Shi Fu, Let him quietly leave the city before dark with When I meet with the general, if other people in the Changshi Mansion cannot leave the city, they must hide.
It will be a sleepless night tonight.

You must tell him that if he cannot leave the city before dark and cannot meet with the general, the general will not Wait until he remembers it?”
"Remember" "Okay, you go back immediately" "Goodbye, Mr.
Nuo":
