Chapter 514: News from the Prairie
、、、、、、、、、、
Yu Ming and the senior generals of the Zhou army were in the tent of the barracks, drinking and talking about the war on the front line.
After the wine patrol, everyone was a little drunk. Song Jingang, Xu Shiji and other new generals heard that Yuming had been to the Turkic tent, and they all asked him with great interest about his mission to the Turks, after all, the Turks were the biggest enemies of the current Zhou army. Everyone was very curious about the savannah.
Yu Ming smiled and told them about his alliance with the Xue Yantuo tribe, and then led the ****** army to fight against the Tiele tribe and the Murowei tribe, which amazed everyone.
"King Zhou, I didn't expect you to have such a relationship with Tuli back then. It's a pity that only a few remnants of the Turks have fled to the Beihai (present-day Lake Baikal) area, and they have no strength to attack the Turkic tents. Otherwise, you can send someone to contact him and ask him to send troops to stab Jieli in the back! Xu Shiji sighed.
"I have also had the idea of contacting Tuli, but the grassland is vast, and now we only know that Tuli is in the Beihai area, but it is difficult to inquire about where it is. However, he could indeed send an envoy to contact him, and now the enmity between him and Jieli, the two uncles and nephews, was deep. If he can contain Jieli, we can relieve a lot of pressure. "Yu Ming is colorful.
"Hmmm! This matter can only be considered in the long run...... However, the subordinates feel a little strange, from your narrative King Zhou, it should be seen that Jieli is not a stupid person, on the contrary, he is very smart, but how could he send Ashina Ke and Ashina Jin, the living treasures, to be the main generals? These two fools are not successful at all, and the 100,000 Turkic army is in their hands, and they can only be killed alive. Xu Shiji touched his beard and said slowly.
After hearing this, Red Sleeves was also deeply touched and said: "Yes! Originally, we got information that Jie Li personally led an army of 100,000 to the south. But when I arrived at the front line of Mayi, I found that the intelligence was wrong, the Turkic army was only 100,000 people, and the commander was not Jieli himself, but Ashinake, a tenacious guy...... But fortunately, if he hadn't been the main general, I'm afraid that these 100,000 Turkic troops would not have been defeated by us so easily......"
When Red Sleeves said this, Yu Ming felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say why, he vaguely felt that the 100,000 Turkic army of Ashinake and Ashinajin seemed to be very poor in combat, far inferior to the Turkic soldiers he encountered when he was in the Turkic steppe.
At this moment, Luo Shixin hurriedly walked into the big tent, and then bowed to Yu Ming and said: "Report to King Zhou, when my subordinates were patrolling outside the city, they unexpectedly found a young woman in Turkic clothes running over, and there were some Turkic cavalry chasing behind her. So his subordinates drove the Turkic cavalry away and captured the Turkic woman......"
Luo Shixin swallowed his saliva at this time, and then continued: "What is surprising is that this Turkic woman actually claimed to know King Zhou, and said that she had important information to inform you. The subordinates were afraid that this woman was a dead soldier who used the excuse to assassinate, so they reported to the king of Zhou first...... I don't know if King Zhou wants to see this woman? ”
After hearing this, Yu Ming frowned, he really couldn't remember which Turkic woman he knew.
"See you! Anyway, just take precautions! Shu Meng and Red Sleeves glanced at each other at this time, and Fang said together.
Although Yuming didn't speak, Luo Shixin saw that the two ladies had spoken, so he immediately waved his hand and said, "Escort that Turkic woman up!" ”
A moment later, two Zhou soldiers escorted a tall, good-looking girl dressed in Turkic costume into the hall. As soon as this woman walked in, she immediately made the soldiers of the Zhou army present gasp.
I saw that this Turkic girl was wearing a light blue blouse and a colorful Luo skirt on the lower body, and her appearance was beautiful.
She wore a number of pigtails on her head, and on each braid, she was tied with a bow of colored cloth, which looked colorful and gorgeous. The big eyes are as bright as black gems, and the age looks no more than ten ** years old. She also tied a silver silk belt around her waist, on which hung gold knives, silver bells, jade and other things, as soon as she walked, the gold rings on her ankles jingled, making people can't help but stare at her white and tender jade feet.
It's just that on her body, there is a thick black hemp rope entangled, binding her slender body. The hemp rope was deeply squeezed into her flesh, making her feel some pain, and her pretty face showed a painful color.
Exposed to the sight of so many Han men, the Turkic girl's face suddenly showed a flush.
What a stunning beauty! I didn't expect that a place like the Turkic steppe, which is full of wind and sand, can raise such a beautiful girl. This was the first thought of the soldiers of the Zhou army present after seeing this Turkic girl.
"Huh! You are ......" Yuming felt that the girl looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was for a while.
However, Shumeng blurted out: "Dongli? Are you the princess of Dongli? ”
At this time, the girl heard someone call her name, Fang raised her head, and saw a dream in white, like a fairy, and suddenly tears rained down, she shouted: "Sister Shumeng, it's me!" I am the East Fence...... This bad guy is hateful! I said I was here to find Brother Ming, but he didn't believe me, insisted that I was an assassin, and tied me up......"
Her words made Luo Shixin's face suddenly black.
"East Fence! I remembered, it turns out that you are the daughter of Shibi Khan, the sister of Tuli, Ashina Dongli! Yu Ming's mind suddenly remembered the fourteen-year-old girl he met when he woke up in the morning five years ago in the Turkic steppe. At that time, her father, Shibi Khan, had just inherited the throne and was still complaining to herself that her father did not have time to play with her. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, this girl has grown into a big girl, and she is more beautiful than before.
"Princess Dongli, why did you come to Mayi? Could it be that he came with Ashinakin and Ashinake? Shumeng asked with a frown.
"Sister Shumeng, don't call me a princess! After my father's death, I was no longer a Turkic princess! Dong Li's pretty face showed a wry smile at this time.
She is the daughter of Shibi Khan, the younger sister of Tuli, and naturally has a better relationship with Tuli than her uncle. But the Turkic tent where she lives is also a Jieli controlled area, so her position is naturally very embarrassing.
Although Jieli was polite to Dongli and gave her the treatment she deserved as a Turkic nobleman, he strictly guarded her and was not allowed to leave casually, which was like house arrest.
"As for my coming to Ma Yi this time, I ran out secretly!" Dong Li bit his lower lip at this time, and said in that crisp voice: "Because I found out that Uncle Jieli has a big conspiracy, which may be unfavorable to Brother Ming, so I killed the guards guarding me and secretly ran out, wanting to tell Brother Ming ......"
She looked at Yuming's eyes, revealing a look of admiration and intoxication, and even if she was blind, she could see that this Turkic girl was afraid that she would have already devoted herself to King Zhou.
"Sister Dongli, what conspiracy?" As soon as Red Sleeves heard that Jieli was going to be unfavorable to Yuming, he immediately got in touch and hurriedly asked.
"Just a month ago, I was worried that Jieli would forcibly marry me to the Western Turkic Khan as a concubine, so when he met with the Khan, he pretended to be sick, brought the guards guarding me into the tent, and knocked him ......unconscious," Dong Li then told the story of the incident.
It turned out that since he grew up, Dongli has been famous in the entire prairie in terms of martial arts and beauty. Moreover, she is the daughter of Shibi Khan, with a noble status, and many suitors have stepped through the ground of the Turkic tooth tent.
It's just that Shibi Khan likes this daughter very much, and as a Turkic Khan, he is amazingly powerful, and he doesn't want to wronged his daughter to marry someone he doesn't like. And those who tried to covet the beauty of the East Fence did not dare to make a mistake in front of Shibi Khan.
However, after the defeat and death of Shibi Khan, the lustful people became lustful again.
Among these people, the most threatening was the Western Turkic Khan of Archery.
Kedun, who shot the Khan, died early, and although he also married a bunch of concubines, the position of his wife Kedun has always been vacant. The reason why Jieli was able to win the war for the Khan throne with his brothers and nephews such as Chuluo and Tuli was that in addition to his own strength and strategy, the support of the Khan also played a great role.
When the Khan visited the ****** tent on a certain occasion, he happened to meet Dongli and was immediately shocked. Although he has many concubines, none of them can make him so tempted. So, he deliberately approached the east fence, trying to make this young and simple girl like him.
In his opinion, he is the most powerful Khan of the grassland, holding powerful power, holding hundreds of thousands of male soldiers, and beauties have always loved heroes.
But what he never expected was that Dongli would sternly reject his courtship, making the most powerful khan of the Western Turks embarrassed in the ****** tent.
The Khan had to formally propose to Jieli, asking him to marry his niece to him, and expressing his willingness to establish the Eastern Fence as the Kedun of the Western Turks.
However, at this time, Jieli, because he had just defeated Tuli, was recognized by the ****** ministries and became the official ****** Khan. Therefore, his confidence has also strengthened a lot, and he is not as obedient to the Khan as he was at the beginning. It's just that Dongli is just a usable chess piece for him, and Jieli doesn't think about whether his niece will like this old man who is more than ten years older than her.
He was just thinking about how he could use the East Fence as a bargaining chip to get more conditions from the Khan of Shooting.
Therefore, he put on a noncommittal attitude towards the proposal of the Khan of Shooting, and seemed to be indifferent to it.
This made the Khan impatient, so a month ago, he led his personal guards again to visit Jieli to discuss the matter of marrying Dongli.
