"Why should I get involved in the civil strife in the Turkic court? You know, I have never visited Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, nor have I ever bowed my knees to the Turkic Khan. ”

"Over the past few years in Mayi, I have killed countless Turkic warriors...... I don't know, why does Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess trust me? In other words, is it an envoy sent by Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess of the Great Sui who came to talk to me, or is it a close confidant of the Turkic Kedun? ”

Li Po put away the last bit of casualness and asked seriously, which can be seen from the title of Princess Yicheng.

In fact, he also wanted to know what was happening in Dali City, or even the grassland in the clouds.

And when he heard this, he immediately discarded other messy things, because that would affect his judgment.

The woman did not hesitate, but showed a determined smile for the first time, obviously, this key issue of trust has been thought about for a long time, and it can even be said that she has been prepared for a long time.

"Venerable General, Your Highness really didn't misunderstand you, the eagle always wants to fly into the sky, and the horse always wants to gallop in the wind......"

This is an alternative interpretation of ambition by the Turks, and it is full of characteristics unique to the steppe people, just like singing.

The woman continued, "Although you have not gone to the clouds to meet Your Highness, Your Highness has been watching you from afar. ”

"The closest you have come to Your Highness is on the grassland, you led the warriors and killed a lot of proud and brave appendages, Your Highness forgave your offense forgivingly, and told me that there was another brave general in the border of the Great Sui."

"Soon after, you led men to raid some of the tribes in the clouds, taking away their cattle and sheep. Killed a lot of people......"

Speaking of this, the woman glared at Li Po viciously. As a woman, her courage is really not small.

Of course. For the Turks, if killing the Attachments was a glory for the warriors to fight each other, whether they lived or died, then this raid seemed to them to be very despicable, although it was their most common mode of warfare.

But if the enemy did so, it would inevitably arouse their anger and contempt.

"Your Highness was very sad when he heard about it, and your ferocity is destined not to be appreciated this time."

Li Po has been listening quietly. Neither feeling complacent, nor feeling afraid, war is always favored by those who are more prepared and determined to win, and many times, the watching eyes hidden in the shadows may cause you some trouble, but once the war begins. It is also likely that these things will not affect the course of the war at all.

After fighting one war after another over the years, and watching many military books and war strategies left by Li Jing, his definition of war has become clearer and clearer.

"It was cold that winter, and when Khan returned to the royal court with his army, he was furious. Many warriors have died in battle, but they have not been able to capture your emperor, and your highness wants to persuade the khan not to lead his warriors south. But the khan did not listen. ”

"The following year, in the name of your bravery. Finally spread in the steppe, you should have reaped a lot of loot, right? Remember that summer. The khan's anger burned over the royal court, and many people were punished. ”

"You have caused a lot of damage to the royal court......

At this point, the woman looked at the young general again, her expression was respectful and admiring, and of course, there was also a trace of hatred in it, a respectable enemy, which was perhaps what she was thinking now.

"I was also surprised when I heard by Your Highness's side that you led troops in the winter, chased from behind hundreds of thousands of warriors to the grassland in the clouds, and once again forged your prestige with the blood of countless warriors."

"It was only in the autumn of that year that Your Highness told me that you had also slain one of the bravest generals of the Servant Bone Division, Servant Bone Gesi, and that if it were in the steppe, the Khan would have married your most favored daughter to you, and would have received your loyalty."

"And, in that season when there was a harvest in both the north and the south, you led your troops to attack the Red Rokuan Division, I have to say, you really have surprising courage, or can you call it greed?"

"I've never seen the Khan so angry, the one who caught the Khan married the Khan's sister, but you let the glorious Red Liu'an disappear from the royal court's tribal roster."

"One of His Highness's daughters, who is also in the Chiliu'an Tribe, did not immediately ask you for it because the Khan issued a Khan decree forbidding any tribe to redeem their relatives from you, as Kedun, Your Highness ......"

"May I ask, where is she now? Is it alive or dead? Please don't misunderstand, Your Highness doesn't blame you, and if she is still alive, please send her back, this will also be the best chance to trust her. ”

Li Po was listening to it, and suddenly there was such an episode, he couldn't help touching his chin with some embarrassment, and said in his heart, there are a lot of people with the surname Ashina in the Chiliu Anbu, how did I know that I actually kidnapped that daughter? Haven't anyone talked about it yet?

What he didn't know was that after a mess of punches at that moment, his reputation among well-informed tribes like Chiliu'an was similar to that of the Great Demon King.

The more noble people were hiding among the people, and he never inquired about the origin of these slaves, so he ...... Maybe right now, the woman mentioned is herding sheep in the clouds.

He rolled his eyes and replied simply: "If she is here, I will definitely send it back to His Highness, if not, then ......"

The woman smiled and hammered her chest, "No matter what, thank you for your kindness and kindness." ”

Obviously, a woman can't hinder the progress of things, whether it's this messenger or Li Po, they all know that this is just an insignificant additional condition.

So, the woman's smile was a little more sincere, and she continued the topic just now, "Just last year, your reputation for being good at fighting finally began to take root in the hearts of the people...... Her Royal Highness the princess also sighed after hearing about it, I haven't heard of a general like you in the Great Sui for many years. ”

"You see, Your Highness has been watching you, you should know that you are grateful, although you are brave and able to lead the warriors to a miraculous victory, you must know that we Turks are not afraid of any enemy, and you are far from being a powerful ......"

Li Po actually understood that these feats that made him very helpless, he boasted a few times, and all he got was a very boring reaction, but this woman listed it, this is not simply boasting about your merits and good fighting, courage or something, but telling you that Her Royal Highness the princess knows everything you do, that's all.

For Li Po, this also does not have any sense of accomplishment, and it will feel very uncomfortable.

Of course, what is even more uncomfortable is that this woman, as a Turkic, boasting about his military exploits in front of Li Po is also not an easy thing to accept.

Come to think of it, Her Royal Highness Princess Yicheng, who is sandwiched between the Great Sui and the Turks, will not be too comfortable either.

Thinking about it this way, Li Po is much more balanced.

And the woman actually avoided his question, obviously, the identity of Princess Yicheng in the eyes of the Turks, also has an embarrassing meaning, she is not a Turkic, but she is a Turkic Kedun, and she sways back and forth between the Great Sui and the Turks.

A very dangerous situation, in fact, at this time, Li Po already admired Her Royal Highness the princess, who could stay in the Turks for so many years, and was even more likely to win the Turkic Khan, what kind of ambition and will is supporting a woman?

There is no doubt that Princess Yicheng is one of the most legendary women of this era, and there are only a handful of people who can compare with her.

In addition to the daughters of the Dugu family, there is also a righteous princess.

The royal daughter of the Northern Zhou Dynasty back then had a great similarity with Princess Yicheng in terms of experience.

They are also troubled by national hatred, and they are also bound by family hatred in the end.

Li Po lowered his gaze, shook his head and said: "Li Po thinks that he has also made some small contributions, but now, he has only been appreciated by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, what else can I say?" ”

Then, he changed his words and said, "But if you let Li Po send troops to help...... Hehe, even if His Royal Highness listens to it, he will definitely look down on me, and besides, now that it is so chaotic, there are many things that I need to do myself. ”

"Turkic civil strife, wouldn't it be better for me to sit and watch? Why take the risk...... If I fall off my horse in the cloudy grassland, who will come to my aid? Her Royal Highness the Princess? ”

The woman raised her eyebrows, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, and then she let out a hearty laugh, "Your Highness told me that no matter how touching your words are, you can't win the trust of a true hero, and those who are surrounded by sweet words are not worthy of entrusting them with a heavy responsibility, and that's ......."

Li Po squinted his eyes and thought, things are actually very simple, you can't trust me, and I can't trust you.

For him, leading troops to participate in the Turkic civil strife and raising up a Turkic khanate sounds like a fantasy, and the danger in the middle can be known without thinking about it, and the most important point is that is worth taking such a risk?

And for Princess Yicheng, it is not a good thing, using the power of foreign enemies to achieve things, even if she ascends to the Turkic Khan throne later, it will be endless troubles.

Moreover, does she really trust Li Po as an outsider so much? I'm afraid not, right?

The reason why he sent a messenger was that Li Podu thought about it for Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and when he came, Daizhou was the closest to Dali City.

Second, it may indeed be that he defeated the Turks in a row, which made people value his strength.

Third, it may be that there is not enough time, so I can only borrow troops from Daizhou.

And there are too many places to worry.

Li Po was wondering, did His Highness want to lure him to Dali City and use his head to make a deal with others, such as Jieli Khan?

On the other hand, if he was not afraid that he would lead his troops to occupy the city of Dali and take the Turkic Khan's account to the end, wouldn't the Turks immediately be torn apart?

This temptation is really not small for him.
