Pu Tiancheng, with a gray face, was sitting on the mat tightly. In the past six months, he felt that he had experienced all kinds of hardships that he had not experienced in many years, the disadvantages of domestic wars, the difficulties in logistics support, and the unstable morale of the army. All of these were never encountered in the past few years. Why did it suddenly break out in just half a year? This made Pu Tiancheng think for a long time, but he could never find a satisfactory answer.

It seems to be a reason to attribute the conclusion to the rise of the Tang Dynasty, but something is not right. Although the Tang Dynasty is rising, Maqihan has not developed any further. Seeing that Anjie, Yuejing, and Ronesia are everywhere in the hands of the Khanate, there is more food from import to self-sufficiency to export. The large-scale development of mines has also made the Khanate's metallurgical industry leaped into a stage of great development. The start of the canal project allowed people to see a huge Maqihanate about to appear on the southern horizon, but all of this turned into a moon in the water with the emergence of the Tang Empire.

How could others sleep soundly on the side of the bed?! This is probably the only reason. The rising Maqikhan met a Tang Empire with a faster rise and stronger rise. This is probably the only reason. Fu Tiancheng is sometimes sad. If the Khanate was in the Central Continent or the Western Continent, he might have achieved some hegemony, but he would have to be adjacent to the Tang Empire after the phoenix Nirvana. Isn’t this a destiny that God had already destined?

The atmosphere in the quiet room seemed very dull. Both Bi Xili and Lei Juetian's masters looked gloomy. Bi Xili rarely lowered his head, as if thinking about something. Lei Juetian, the soul of the Khanate, had a little uncertain face. However, the hidden worries between his eyebrows represented his mood and was quite related to the current situation. Another operator present was naturally another giant in the military. The suppressed air made everyone's mood worse. Ya Ning had been buried in the National Cemetery on the outskirts of Sanglin City, the capital of the Machi Khanate. This was the highest treatment for noble officials after their deaths, except for the royal family, but this seemed too bitter for a senior general who committed suicide.

Ya Ning's loss is an irreparable loss for Bi Xili and Lei Juetian, but the subsequent deterioration of the diplomatic environment made Bi Xili and Lei Juetian feel breathing suppressed and urgent. The sharp compression of Maqihan's living space has endangered the survival of the Khanate. Although the offensive of the Three Kingdoms Alliance in the east has stopped, there is reason to believe that once the waiting of the Tang Dynasty ends and the offensive is reopened, the Three Kingdoms Alliance will also pounce on it like a jackal and bit the Khanate's body. Even the former close allies like the South China Sea Alliance are now actually serving soldiers in the border areas, calling it a "preventing the invasion of the Khanate". God knows whether they want to take advantage of the situation or have other plans at this time?

"Da Khan, what are your plans? I think the situation will only get worse and worse if we continue like this. The Tang Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms Alliance and the Nanyang Alliance have now built a huge encirclement to trap us. Our strategic reserves are decreasing sharply. If we continue like this, we are afraid that there is no need for the Tang people to attack us. We can only surrender." Ming Zhong couldn't stand this gloomy and depressing atmosphere. He licked his dry lips and drank the tea placed on the table in a mouthful of sip. The slightly hot tea made his throat burn, but now he didn't care. The fire accumulated in his heart was burning his heart at any time. Seeing the situation gradually collapsed, he saw that the accumulation over the years had been consumed a little bit, how could he bear this situation?

Bi Xili looked up and glanced at Mingzhong and Putiancheng, but still didn't speak. Everyone knew the situation in front of him. The blockade of the South China League suddenly pushed Maqihan into a desperate situation. This most reliable ally, the largest strategic material supplier, suddenly turned against each other. This drastic change was indeed something that Bi Xili and Lei Juetian did not expect. The bitch was ruthless and the actor was unrighteous. These damn Nanyang League people turned their faces faster than anyone else, and their shamelessness was extremely impressive.

Losing this strategic material replenishment channel, Maqikhan, as a landlocked power, suddenly fell into an isolated situation. At this time, Bixili and Lei Jue Genius realized that perhaps they had made some mistakes in national strategic decision-making. Relying on others was never the fundamental reason. At critical moments, they were still reliable only by relying on themselves. If they had not determined the strategy at Ankun, Jemelo and Yuejing, but instead focused on the main targets of small countries, small cities in the south and the South China Alliance. In ten years, they might have included the South China Alliance in the hands of the Khanate long ago, and even the peninsula area might have been involved. With a broad coastline as a support, there would be concerns that their supply line would be cut off, and the wealthy production of the South China Alliance was completely enough to support all the expansion needs of the Khanate, but now the Khanate has to face such a severe and ruthless reality.

But there has never been a drug to regret in this world. Now is no longer the time to feel the mistakes in the decision-making process. The most important thing is to face unprecedentedly severe reality.

"Jetian, is there still no news from the Nanyang Alliance?" Bi Xili sighed and his voice was low.

"Your Majesty, there is news, but there is no happy response. The Nanyang Alliance is now scared by the Tang army. Now the Tang Dynasty has thrown out an olive branch, and they all regard it as a blessing. The Tang Dynasty asked them to station troops in the border areas to guard against it. Their parliament immediately passed this proposal with an unanimous vote. It is too unrealistic to expect them to restore our material supply to us. Even if we do the work of several councillors, it is impossible to reverse the overall situation." Lei Juetian has no hope for this. In his opinion, the Nanyang Alliance seems unlikely to sacrifice itself for the survival of the Maqi Khans, and no one can do so.

"Will we have to take a single gamble?" Bi Xili raised his eyes and looked at his loyal minister. It was his exhausting efforts that made Ma Qikhan become today. No matter what Ma Qikhan would become after this battle, Bi Xili was full of gratitude to the Tang Dynasty. Without him, Ma Qikhan might have long become the prey of the people of the Tang Dynasty and Milan.

"Your Majesty, it seems that there is no miracle that will happen if you wait. Unless Li Wufeng suddenly dies at this time, he has no descendants yet, maybe the Tang Empire may fall apart, but it is too difficult to assassinate Li Wufeng now. Even if he wants to die, it is probably not easy. There are too many interest groups in his body, and the strictness of defense around him is enough to dispel any fantasies in this regard." Lei Juetian shook his head. It is not that he has not thought of a solution in this regard, but now Li

Wufeng is in his prime and has strong health. Although he has no children yet, he already has several daughters. It seems that it will be a matter of time before he has given birth to male children. Anyone who wants to get close to him must go through countless inspections or reviews, and if there is a little suspicious, it is impossible to get close to him. If you want the assassin to infiltrate and carry out the assassination, the chance is zero. Now Li Wufeng does not visit foreign countries at all, and even has few chances to leave the imperial capital, so it is too slim to make an idea in this regard.

"So we can only take this path. Instead of being trapped by the Tang people, we might as well fight hard. Even if we die, we will die heroically and die as much as possible!" Putian Cheng said coldly, "We still have hundreds of thousands of troops. The reason why the Tang people are unwilling to take the initiative to attack is to avoid our cavalry power. However, as far as I know, the Tang people have invented a weapon that uses ore combustion and explosion to generate power as thrust, which can fire metal projectiles. This weapon has a range far exceeding that of the crossbow and can penetrate

Any leather armor or even iron armor will have a great damage to the cavalry. It is said that the Kamans suffered a great loss in this regard, which in turn led to the Kamans' defeat. It is estimated that the Tang army's equipment for this weapon is not very large, and it has not yet equipped each army. However, with the Tang Dynasty's strong production capacity, I think this situation will not last long. By then, we think the cavalry backed may suffer a devastating blow. Instead of doing so, we should take advantage of our morale to remain, and we will put aside everything and make a real war, and win the king and lose the enemy, and fight here!"

Pu Tiancheng's words ignited the flames in the hearts of the three people in the room. Lei Juetian could even see the unyielding and unwillingness burning in the eyes of Dahan and Mingzhong. Who would be willing to wait like this? Who would be willing to bow down in front of the enemy? Who would be willing to fall silently like this? If you lose, you will be defeated gloriously, so that the Tang army can see the courage of Maqihan's army.
