Impeachment will make me stronger, and I will be invincible on the road to death.

Chapter 167 Wu Zetian is furious

"Your Majesty, please be patient and calm." Shangguan Wan'er consoled her.

"I would like to ask you to calm down and be patient. Look at the situation now. The Tang Dynasty is in danger." Wu Zetian's delicate body trembled.

At this time, everyone in the Ministry of War stood below and did not dare to speak.

At this time, Wang Xiaojie stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, if you give me [-] elite soldiers, we will surely defeat the Kingdom of Kucha."

Wu Zetian took a deep breath to calm down.

Wu Zetian thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "Qiuci is a nomadic nation with a vast territory and is backed by cavalry. We should not attack in a large scale to avoid losing our troops."

After a pause, Wu Zetian continued: "You lead a thousand cavalry to Donghu and tell Jieli Khan that if he refuses to surrender, our Tang Dynasty will destroy Donghu."

"In addition, I will give you some supplies, hoping to hold off the Dawan army for a while."

"My son, I obey." Wang Xiaojie bowed and agreed, turned around and retreated.

Then Yang Yanzhang also left.

……

"Master, this is your letter." A chamberlain handed the letter to Su Liangsi respectfully.

"Yes!" Su Liangsi took the letter and browsed it carefully, and couldn't help but sigh.

The letter in the envelope was very short, with only a few words and concise words. It meant that Han Rui was stupid and incompetent, which caused the army to collapse and the situation to be corrupted. He asked the Grand Master for timely rescue.

The letter reminded the Grand Master not to interfere in this matter, otherwise he would be killed, and asked him to remain neutral.

"Han Rui is stupid and incompetent. What can we do? After all, Han Rui is my boss. Even if I risk my life, I have to save him." Du Shan said in a deep voice.

Su Liangsi sighed and said, "The Queen Mother has sent someone to deliver a letter, asking our family to just sit back and watch."

Everyone is silent.

Su Liangsi pondered for a while and then suddenly said: "How about taking the opportunity to regain the land west of Hexi?"

"The land west of Hexi?" Du Shan was surprised and said, "Grand Master, you are crazy."

The land west of Hexi can be said to be a battleground for military strategists. Whoever can win this land will have the upper hand and can obtain advantageous terrain. They will also occupy favorable terrain for decisive battles with the enemy in the future. Therefore, the princes from all walks of life are watching eagerly. .

Unfortunately, the land west of Hexi is not an easy one. Every battle requires a heavy price to be won. Even so, all parties have not stopped their conquests, and have even intensified.

In this situation, no one wanted to get involved, so everyone refuted Su Liangsi's suggestion.

"Isn't this nonsense? If it were in normal times, of course we would consider it, but now, we can't spare any troops at all."

"Yes, as soon as the Tang army retreated, the Kucha people caught up with them. They must have done it on purpose."

"The Kucha people want to delay our progress and wait for the arrival of reinforcements."

"The despicable Kucha barbarians secretly colluded with Dawan, which is unforgivable."

Everyone was talking and spitting, wishing they could rush to the Kucha Kingdom and kill all the Kucha people to vent their anger.

Su Liangsi pondered for a long time and said calmly: "Let's put it aside in advance and order all the troops to strengthen their vigilance and strictly guard against the sudden invasion of the Tang army. In addition..."

"Master, can you still not bear it?" Du Shan said: "If you let it go, I'm worried..."

Su Liangsi said in a deep voice: "Do you think the Tang army withdrew because they were afraid of Dawan?"

Du Shan hesitated, pondered for a moment, and said: "The Tang army withdrew its troops probably because it was afraid of Dawan. After all, Dawan has a large number of people and strong strength. If we attack with all our strength, the Tang army will not be able to stop it."

"Humph, if that's the case, that would be strange." Su Liangsi said, "The Tang army's retreat was definitely not due to fear of Dawan." "Why is this?" Du Shan asked doubtfully.

"Just wait and see, the Queen Mother will raise troops soon, and then she will show those countries in the Western Regions that the power of the Tang Dynasty cannot be violated!"

After speaking, Su Liangsi waved to everyone and said, "Okay, you all go down and get ready."

"Master, take care." Everyone bowed their hands and retreated.

After everyone left, only the eunuchs and eunuchs were left in the palace. Su Liangsi's expression changed, and he murmured to himself: "This time the Tang Dynasty has been humiliated. I'm afraid none of the officials in the court will let it go."

Su Liangsi was puzzled and did not understand why the Tang army withdrew.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and a middle-aged man in his forties, with a rough appearance and a burly body walked in and said respectfully: "I see the Grand Master."

"You came just in time!" Su Liangsi smiled and said, "Come with me to take a look at Han Rui."

"promise."

The middle-aged man lowered his head slightly and looked like he was listening.

Su Liangsi stood up and walked towards Han Mansion.

At this time, Han Rui was seriously injured and couldn't even stand up while lying on the bed.

"You guys take care of Mr. Han while I go out for a while." Su Liangsi ordered several doctors.

The doctor nodded, turned his attention to Han Rui, and carefully helped him deal with his injuries.

"what!"

Suddenly, a tearing pain hit Han Rui's chest, causing him to let out a miserable roar. The pain was unbearable, and he grabbed the sheets tightly with both hands.

The doctor saw this and said quickly: "Don't move, otherwise it will hurt more. I will help you pull out the arrow now."

Pull out an arrow?Han Rui's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I'll do it myself."

The doctor hesitated for a moment, then slowly stretched out his right hand and lightly touched the hilt of the sword.

Han Rui grimaced in pain, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he kept wailing. He was in great pain, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.

Seeing this scene, the doctor secretly admired him and at the same time felt vigilant. He did not faint despite such pain. He was indeed the commander-in-chief of the Tang Dynasty. He was indeed extraordinary.

The doctor carefully cut off Han Rui's clothes and exposed his chest. He saw that the originally strong muscles were now uneven, and the blood-red arrows were clearly visible.

The doctor frowned in a Sichuan shape, gently pulled out the arrow, and blood came out instantly.

Han Rui let out a cry of pain again, but did not pass out. He held on until the doctor bandaged the wound, then he breathed a sigh of relief. He felt exhausted and lay limply on the pillow.

"It's so dangerous." Han Rui muttered, secretly glad.

If it had been anyone else, he would have fainted long ago, but Han Rui could still persist until now, which is already considered very powerful.

Not only that, Han Rui also discovered a strange phenomenon. The arrowhead was stained with a faint fragrance, which smelled very comfortable.

The doctor also noticed something strange and asked, "Mr. Han, do you smell this fragrance?"

"Well, it seems a bit familiar..." Han Rui rubbed his head and tried to remember, but he didn't have the slightest impression.

The doctor thought thoughtfully and said: "This is Aconitum, honeysuckle, Atractylodes..."

"Ah!" Han Rui's eyes widened, and he was inexplicably shocked. This is...poison!
Han Rui couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly checked his body and found that there was nothing unusual, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
