Daqin: The beginning of the collapse of the sky, sweeping across the Western Regions

When Gulshihan stepped into the general's tent, a general walked in and bowed to him.

"Report to the general! We have found the movement of the 5-man army! They are about to capture half of our territory and are heading towards our capital!"

After hearing the general's words, Gulshihan's face immediately turned dark, and then he quickly walked to a huge map.

"Where is the exact location of that army now? Show it to me."

The general walked to the front of the map and pointed a general direction to Gulsihan.

"We just found out that the army is located here, but according to our estimation, it may be a little further ahead!"

Gulshihan frowned, then turned his head and looked at a general who was sitting behind him with his eyes closed, looking calm and composed.

"General Abdullah! How is the 10 imperial guards in the capital gathering now? The enemy is about to attack, and I need to know their exact situation!"

After hearing Gulshihan's words, Abdullah, who had been sitting in his seat without saying a word, slowly opened his eyes and glanced at him with disdain.

You have to know that Gulshihan is just a garrison in a border town, while he may be the commander of 10 imperial guards in the capital. The identities of the two are very different.

In addition, Gulshihan is from Nurubo, and he is from Walibak. The two have been on opposite sides from the beginning, so how could Abdullah look at him well?

As a king, Euthydemus I naturally knew this very well, but he did not take any action in order to let this scene happen.

This is the so-called art of balance, allowing the two parties to check and balance each other, so that their power will not be too large on one side and too small on the other, and eventually threaten their own rule.

But what he didn't understand was that the art of balance cannot be practiced at all times. If one plays these things at the inappropriate time, he may very likely lose his head.

After all, he was not as talented as the immortal emperor of a certain dynasty. Even though he had not attended court for decades, he was still able to keep the court firmly in his hands and torment those ministers to death.

"General Gulshihan! You were promoted from a border guard to this position by His Majesty, so you must have some extraordinary qualities! Then why do you need a small general like me to participate in the discussion? Can't you just make these decisions by yourself?"

Abdullah stood up and did not discuss how to solve the problem with Gulshihan. Instead, the army began to mock him.

After hearing Abdullah's words, Gulshihan's face changed, but he soon smiled again.

He knew that if he broke off relations with Abdullah at this moment, it would not be beneficial to the subsequent war, so he could only endure it.

"General Abdullah! I was just promoted by His Majesty. I just came up in the border army and there are many things I don't understand, so I still need your support!"

Abdullah felt very comfortable with Gulshihan's tolerance, and he despised his current behavior even more.

[As expected, Nurubo and his gang are a bunch of cowards! They showed this attitude after just a slight scare! No wonder Nurubo's position was replaced by General Walibak!]

Now Abdullah and his men have not received the news that Walibak and his 30-strong army have been annihilated. If they knew this news, they might not be as calm as they are now.

Seeing that Gulshihan had lowered his posture so much, Abdullah did not break off relations with him.

"Why say these words when we are facing a formidable enemy? We should work together to resist the enemy!"

Abdullah grabbed Gulshihan's hand and spoke to him sincerely.

At this moment, he didn't look as arrogant as before. It was just like the face-changing in Peking Opera. I don't know where he learned it from.

"Since there is no food, then General Abdullah, please tell me, have your 10 imperial guards arrived?"

"Oh! General Gulshihan, you should be able to understand that it is not easy to mobilize 10 troops, so we still need some time."

After hearing his words, a hint of anger flashed in Gulshihan's eyes.

After all, these 100,000 imperial guards are scattered around the capital, and they are the easiest army to assemble.

But now even the 20 troops scattered in various directions of the Great Xia Kingdom are about to return, but these 10 imperial guards are still dragging their feet here and are not ready.

It is very obvious that Abdullah is behind this.

After taking a few deep breaths and suppressing the anger in his heart, Gulshihan forced a smile on his face and looked at Abdullah.

"General Abdullah! This is an emergency. Please mobilize the 20 imperial guards as soon as possible. After all, the 10 border troops are about to arrive. If the imperial guards don't take action, people may talk about them behind their backs and say they are not worthy of the title of elite!"

"By then, even the general might be criticized behind his back! They would say that even 10 elite troops were so slow to move forward. Could it be that it was just a..."

Gulshihan said half of what he wanted to say and left the other half unsaid, because he knew that no matter how stupid a person was, he would be able to tell what he wanted to say next.

After hearing what Gulshihan said, Abdullah frowned and glanced at him.

"General Gulshihan is right. If that's the case, I will urge the mobilization of the imperial guards. They should all be in place this afternoon."

"That's really hard work, General Abdullah."

Gulshihan smiled and nodded to Abdullah.

"There shouldn't be anything else to do now, right? If not, then I'll leave first. After all, General Gulshihan, you're urging me so urgently, I also have to mobilize the army quickly."

"Otherwise, you won't even know if someone secretly scolds you behind your back."

After glancing at Gulshihan from the corner of his eye, Abdullah stood up and walked out without paying any attention to him. Did he have anything else to discuss with him?

And Gulshihan did not stop Abdullah from leaving, but just sat there quietly looking at his back.

When Abdullah completely disappeared from his sight, Gulshihan raised his hand and rubbed his temple, his eyes full of fatigue.

He felt that the most troublesome thing about this war was not mobilizing the troops to fight, but dealing with the relationship with these Walibak factions.

From Abdullah’s difficult attitude just now, it can be seen that the people of the Walibak faction are very hostile to those of them who come from the Nurubo faction.

After all, now that the army is in front of them and their capital is about to be captured, these people from the Walibak faction still dare to make moves there, which is basically putting the survival of the country at risk. This makes Gulshihan feel powerless.

"General! The border commanders have already led their troops to station outside the capital."

Suddenly a soldier pulled open the curtain of General Gulshihan's tent, then walked in and reported the situation to him.
