Liu Wuzhou said with some emotion: "Xue Yantuo people have a strong personality, and Ling Qi Jin and his son Xue Qiluo are the kind of characters who say the same. They used to be very deferential to the Eastern Turks, but in recent years, because of their growing strength, they have also become disobedient. And the Qimin Khan also suppressed and weakened them, so the two sides began to fight each other. At present, the Xuanyantuo Department can only be regarded as nominally subordinate to the Eastern Turks, but in fact it has long been self-reliant. Their jurisdiction was chaotic, with many horse thieves and frequent raiders raiding passing merchants. As a result, now the caravans are hardly going from the middle line. ”

"Well, everyone be on alert! Mo, you ordered the scouts to expand the range to fifty miles! If there is any news, you will be notified immediately by carrier pigeon! After listening to Liu Wuzhou's words, Yuming raised his vigilance even more.

But strange to say, after they crossed this lake, it was calm, and they walked all day without seeing a single person from Xuyantuo. I just don't know if others saw that there were many of them, so they didn't dare to plunder, or if the Xuyantuo tribe was also like the Tiele tribe, and the army was sent to other places. So I had to let them go.

But Yu Ming always felt that there seemed to be a crisis in this calm, and his intuition told him that the situation was not so simple. There should be a big storm lurking in the grasslands.

After walking for another half a day, everyone was surprised to find that more than a dozen sika deer appeared in front of them, and they gathered by a small river, drinking water and eating some aquatic plants in the water.

Seeing this, Guo Yi was pleasantly surprised: "General Yu! You see there's a herd of sika deer in front of us, so why don't we just surround them and hunt them all. Let's fight tonight! ”

After hearing this, Yu Ming also smiled slightly and said, "Yi, then you can take someone there!" But be careful, don't scare them away! Otherwise, if someone can't eat venison tonight, you're the only one to ask! ”

"Hey, hey! Rest assured! Although my archery skills are not as good as the general and the red-sleeved sister, at least there is no problem in stepping through Yang! Guo Yi readily agreed, with excitement in his eyes.

He immediately waved his hand, led more than a dozen personal soldiers, and quietly surrounded the group of sika deer from two directions.

"It seems that Yi Ye has itchy hands for a long time! It's just a herd of sika deer, and it's so exciting! Yu Ming smiled helplessly: "Actually, I also have itchy hands, and I really want to go down and try archery." ”

"You? Don't go! The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head and said, "As soon as you and Red Sleeves make a move, I'm afraid there will be no other people's play." Both of you are shooting arrows at one time, and these dozen sika deer are not enough for you to shoot five arrows! ”

"Hehe, that's why I don't want to fight with him......" Yuming gently touched the longbow on his back, then looked forward and said, "I'd better go and see him!" Lest he let a few go, it would be a pity! ”

After saying that, Yu Mingfang smiled slightly, then turned the horse's head sharply and chased after Guo Yi and the others.

Guo Yi and others were like arrows, and in just a moment, more than ten sika deer and sheep were shot down by him. The rest were frightened and fled in all directions.

Although Guo Yi fired arrows one after another, he only shot two of them. Seeing that the fattest sika deer was about to escape, Yuming arrived at the horse.

He also saw dozens of paces away, the fattest sika deer was running fast, it should be the leader of the deer, and Guo Yi was obviously unable to catch up.

Yu Ming immediately made a decision, and immediately opened his bow and shot an arrow. This arrow shot out like lightning, fast, and when it was about to hit the head of the sika deer, it suddenly only heard a "whoosh" sound, and another black sharp arrow was also shot at the same time.

"Whew!" The sika deer screamed and fell to the ground.

At this time, everyone let out a burst of exclamations. Because the two arrows drilled right through the left and right eyes of the sika deer. It can be seen that the archery skills of the two are accurate.

Yu Ming looked forward coldly, and saw that more than a few cavalrymen had come out of the woods in front of him, all wearing helmets and armor, judging from the costume, it should be the men and horses of a certain tribe on the grassland.

The eldest grandson Wuji was in his heart. Because he knew that there was a shortage of iron tools in the steppe, the soldiers of the various divisions often wore only animal skins and cloth shirts, and the better equipped ones were only leather armor. And this team of cavalry was able to wear armor, which shows that the identity is by no means ordinary.

Guo Yi stared at the sika deer that fell to the ground in a daze, and couldn't help but feel a little shocked in his heart.

At this time, one of the cavalry was a big man with a big shape, put the iron bow in his hand on his back, and went to pick up the sika deer.

Seeing this, Guo Yi was furious in his heart, and he rushed forward, thrust the horse lance in front of the deer corpse, and roared loudly: "You dare to rob my deer? ”

The big man glanced at Guo Yi, and Fang said in surprise, "Are you Han?" ”

He also spoke Chinese, but the tone was a little weird, obviously because he was not refined.

Guo Yi was relieved to see that the people who came to rob the deer could speak Chinese. He was afraid that this person would not understand Chinese, which would be equivalent to a chicken talking to a duck.

"Wu Nahan, I saw this deer first and shot it to death, and you dare to fight with me?" Guo Yi hurriedly said.

"Why do you say that you saw this deer first? I saw it first and shot it to death! The big man clearly refused to budge.

Guo Yi is also a hot-tempered person, if it weren't for Yuming and the eldest grandson Wuji telling him not to clash with the people on the grassland easily, so as not to cause extraneous branches, he would have fought with this man a long time ago.

It's just that although he didn't make a move, he refused to give in at all, and quarreled with this person.

And this big man doesn't speak much Chinese, and when he quarrels, he uses Turkic language, and Guo Yi can't understand it, and the two of them are almost talking to themselves.

And the soldiers on both sides came up round and set up a field for their own men.

It's just that the Sui army has already received an order, and if the other party doesn't make the first move, don't make trouble. And the people on the side of the big man, seeing that the Sui soldiers were numerous and well-equipped, did not dare to provoke a battle first.

After a while, Liu Wu Zhou Fang squeezed to the front, and after looking at the other party's people, his face suddenly showed surprise.

At this time, he hurriedly whispered to Yu Ming: "General Yu, I know this person, he is the son of Xue Yantuo's subordinate Xue Qiluo. This person has a straightforward personality, but he is the most heroic hero, and he has a good reputation in the Xue Yantuo Department. If the general can impress him with his martial arts, he can definitely win his respect! ”

Yu Ming nodded after hearing this, he didn't want to have a stiff relationship with the Xue Yantuo tribe, after all, this tribe was also hostile to the Turks. In case they went to the Turks, they failed to achieve their goal of friendship with the Turks. The new Turkic Khan led a large army south to attack the Sui Dynasty, and it was also necessary to win over the Xue Yantuo Tribe, which had always had a bad relationship with the Turks, and let them attack the Turks in the back to relieve the pressure on the Sui army.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Mingfang pulled away from the crowd of onlookers, walked to the center of the venue, and bowed to the Xue Qiluo: "Dare to ask this warrior, but is it the Xue Qiluo of the Xue Yan Tuo Division?" ”

After Xue Qiluo heard this, Fang stopped the quarrel with Guo Yi, looked at Yu Ming with slanted eyes, and frowned: "I am Xue Qiluo." You Central Plains people have always been cunning, have you thought of some crooked ideas again, want to rob this fattest sika deer? I can tell you: even if you have the upper hand today, when I go back and gather tens of thousands of troops, I can still kill you without leaving you behind! ”

"Hey, hey! You've said so, will we still let you go back and order the army? When Wei Chi Jingde heard this, he was immediately happy. Thinking that this Xue Qiluo is really a bad person, he said this, even if the Sui army didn't want to make enemies with him, he had to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

When the onlookers heard Wei Chi Jingde say this, they also understood, and immediately showed their weapons and surrounded Xue Qiluo and his party in the core. Let these people change color. Many of them are secretly blaming their young master for being too rough in their hearts, and they just need to understand this idea in their hearts, how can they say it? In this way, how could these Han Chinese troops in the Central Plains let themselves and others leave?

At this time, Yu Ming waved his hand lightly and said: "Xue Qiluo, my surname is Yu, and my single name is a Ming character." We are an army from the Great Sui. In Xia Bucai, it is the chief general of this army. As early as when I was in the Central Plains, I heard that the Han cavalry on the grassland had great archery skills, especially that the Xue Yantuo tribe was a tribe that was a master of archery......"

"Yes! Yes! The riding and archery kung fu of our Xue Yantuo Department is famous in the entire prairie! I didn't expect you to hear about it in the Central Plains! Hahaha! You can imagine how good my archery skills are when I am so far away that I can hit this sika deer in the eye with one arrow! Xue Qiluo was praised by Yu Ming, and he suddenly got a little carried away.

Yu Ming smiled slightly, but changed his words and said: "However, when I saw it today, I found that the rumors were exaggerated." Although Brother Xue Qiluo shot the eyes of the sika deer, my next Guo Yi also shot the eyes of the sika deer. It can be seen that the archery skills of your Xue Yantuo Department are only comparable to those of our Great Sui warriors. Where is it worthy of our admiration? ”

When Xue Qiluo heard him say this, Fang Chang blushed and said, "I just shot an arrow at random just now, and I didn't bring out the essence of my archery skills at all. Why don't we two try it out? I'm going to let you have a good understanding of the ability of the archery master of Xue Yantuo! ”

"Good! So how about we bet on the sika deer we just fought for? Whoever wins this sika deer will be whosoever! Yu Ming stretched out a palm and said.

There is also a tradition of high-fives on the prairie, and even if he stretched out his right palm, he slapped Yuming hard. It's a formal bet. Now in front of the soldiers on both sides, in their identities, they can't do anything remorseful.
