The Western Turks and the Eastern Turks fought for supremacy in the Turks for ten years. Previously, due to the Qimin Khan, the Sui Dynasty had always stood on the side of the Eastern Turks, and sent troops to attack the Western Turks many times, and the predecessor of the Western Turks, Khan Datou, died in the hands of the Sui army.

Five years ago, the Sui army destroyed Tuyuhun and established five new counties, of which Yiwu County was set up in the Western Turkic sphere of influence, which seriously infringed on the interests of the Western Turks. The Western Turks raised troops to attack many times, but they were defeated by Li Jing and returned, and the enmity between the Western Turks and the Sui Dynasty can be described as deep as the sea.

As for Goryeo, not to mention. The Sui Dynasty had already made two consecutive expeditions to Goryeo, and was about to launch its first expedition, although the two expeditions to the Sui Dynasty failed, but Goryeo also suffered heavy losses, and a large area of territory was warn. The Koreans must have done their best to fight to the death with the Sui Dynasty.

If Shibi Khan really decided to ally with the Western Turks and Goryeo, then betrayal of the Great Sui would be inevitable. He will definitely take down the envoys of the Sui Dynasty in one fell swoop. to show their hearts to the Western Turks and Goryeo.

However, Yuming thinks that Duji is only now the new Khan, and his ass has not yet sat firmly. And he was very clear about the strength of the Sui Dynasty, and he must have been jealous, so when he first saw them, Du Ji would be so polite.

Even if he really wanted to attack the envoys, he would not do it himself, and would probably use the hands of the Western Turks or the Goryeo to get rid of them. So there should be a way to salvage the crisis.

Thinking of this, Yu Mingfang said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Princess, for reminding me!" But I don't think I'm going to do it so quickly! He must have been a little hesitant in his heart, is it necessary to tear his face with Da Sui immediately? After all, the Western Turks and Goryeo didn't have much friendship with him. If he kills us and provokes the Great Sui to attack, and the Western Turks and Goryeo sit idly by, he will not have much confidence that he will be able to secure the position of Khan. And since we're already on guard, there's going to be a precaution. Our legation is more than 1,000 people, although the number is not very large. But it's not something that the Turks can easily swallow! ”

Eldest Sun Wuji also nodded, and when he was about to comfort Princess Yicheng for a few words, a sharp voice came from outside the door: "Ke Dun, Lord Eldest Sun, General Yu, the dinner is ready!" Come with you to the feast! Father Khan and two uncles are already waiting! ”

The people in the tent looked at each other, and had to stand up helplessly, and then walked out of the tent.

Tu Li looked around at this time, and seeing that there was no one else, Fang stepped forward quickly, whispered a few words to the eldest grandson Wuji, and then led first.

Princess Yicheng asked with some curiosity, "Lord Eldest Sun, what did this little guy Tuli say to you?" ”

Eldest Sun Wuji sighed and said, "He said that this good night is also attended by envoys from the Western Turks and Goryeo, and he wants us to deal with it carefully!" ”

The expression on Princess Yicheng's face suddenly became a little unnatural. She never expected that Shibi Khan would arrange these two great enemies at a dinner party to entertain the envoys of the Sui Dynasty.

"I'm afraid this dinner is going to look good." The eldest grandson Wuji said self-deprecatingly.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, Brother Wuji, don't be afraid of anything! At that time, the soldiers will come to block, and the water will come to cover the earth. I'd like to see what tricks they can play! Yu Ming said imposingly.

He knew that there was no way to retreat now, and if he showed weakness and incompetence, he was afraid that he would fall to the side of the Western Turks and Goryeo faster.

……

By this time, it was already getting dark, and the sound of trumpets spread throughout the major camps of the Turkic tents, which was a signal for the Turkic khans to gather the leaders of the nearby tribes. The Turkic people live in tribes, and there are small tribes in the big tribes, and there are subdivisions in the small tribes, and there are many large and small tribes with blood ties as the link.

Both Shibi Khan and his father, Qimin Khan, were from the Turkic royal family Ashina, and were considered to be the noblest of the Turkic people, as well as the co-leaders of dozens of large tribes in the steppe.

This time, Shibi Khan sent many henchmen to other ministries as envoys, informing them that Qimin Khan had died of illness and that he had inherited the Turkic throne himself. And these henchmen always have to bring a few soldiers with them. Therefore, the army around him is not large, only about 50,000 people.

Shibi Khan held a grand banquet in the flattest and wide part of the camp, surrounded by a fence of trees and richly decorated, the fence was covered with all kinds of bright ribbons, and the ground was covered with colorful blankets. The plates, spoons, pans and pans used to entertain guests are made of the finest porcelain from the prairie. Even behind the table where he sits, there are two landscape calligraphy and paintings. This is also a gift from Emperor Yang Jian of Sui to Qimin Khan, and he also took it out, which can be regarded as vassal elegance.

By this time, a roaring bonfire had been lit in the center of the camp. Around the campfire, there is a circle of low tables. The chairs behind the table are covered with soft sheepskin.

The custom of the Turks was to sit on the ground, at most a sheepskin, but today there are guests from the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, Shibi Khan specially ordered people to move out the chair according to the custom of the Sui Dynasty to show respect for the guests.

Behind each small table sat a leader of the Turkic tribes, and of course most of the people here today were from the Ashina tribe. Among them, the gray-haired old man also has a middle-aged man with strong martial arts. Among them, there are tall, short, fat and thin, handsome and ugly. Most of them kept their beards according to the custom of the Turks.

Yuming noticed that although they had come to participate in a rare feast, everyone's eyes were not very happy. Some people have anger in their eyes, some people have sadness in their eyes, and some people are very worried in their eyes, and none of them are happy.

After a little thought, he reacted: Now that the Qimin Khan has just died, although the Ashina tribe has established Duji as the new Shibi Khan, it has not yet been recognized by the other Eastern Turkic tribes. The Eastern Turks and the Western Turks fought for ten years, and there were wars with Goryeo from time to time. Now, however, envoys from the Western Turks and Goryeo have suddenly arrived, intending to make an alliance with the Eastern Turks and start a war with the Great Sui, which had always been friendly. How can they not worry about Zhongzhong?

Not everyone can participate in this feast, not to mention Guo Yi and Lin Mo, even Yu Chengdu is not qualified to participate. Only the two envoys, Changsun Wuji and Yu Ming, could attend the meeting.

And Yu Chengdu, Wei Chi Jingde and other Sui army officers, led by Tuli to another camp to drink and catch the wind, did not pull down.

Facing the hot wind of the bonfire, Shibi Khan sat on the main seat, and to his left was the master's seat, where Chuluo and Jieli sit. They were followed by other Turkic chieftains.

The eldest grandson, Wuji, knew their customs, so he led Yuming to the seat on the right side of Shibi Khan, which was the guest seat. As is customary, the two of them should sit in the seat and the second seat.

As soon as they sat down, several young and beautiful Turkic girls poured them steaming mare's milk tea, and the rich aroma of milk made them both take a big sip.

"Thank you Khan for the milk tea! It's really something that the Central Plains can't drink! The eldest grandson Wuji praised loudly. He said this in Turkic.

"Lord Changsun, you speak Turkic really well, if you don't look at you, just listening to the voice, you will definitely think that you are an authentic Turk!" Shibi Khan said with a smile.

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled slightly, and said in skilled Turkic language: "My father has been on the grassland for many years, and although I have not been to the grassland many times, I have spoken Turkic to my father since I was a child. Now I can not only speak Turkic, but also write Turkic characters. ”

He was well aware of the habits and minds of the Turks. Knowing that they don't have to be humble and polite when they speak, they can say whatever they will say, and it is best to be honest with each other. If you are too modest, they will look down on them, thinking that the envoys from the Sui Dynasty are really capable.

The Turkic leaders present did not care that the eldest grandson Wuji could speak Turkic, because it was a miracle that the envoys sent by the Sui Dynasty to the Turks could not even speak Turkic language. But the point is that the eldest grandson Wuji actually claimed to be able to write Turkic characters, which made them a little surprised.

Because most of the Turks are heavy on martial arts, they pay attention to the cultivation of martial arts and riding and archery skills, and they do not pay much attention to writing with a pen, from the Turkic khans to the leaders of various tribes. Anyway, whatever letters they want to write, there are people who can write them for them, and most of them can't do it.

Therefore, hearing the eldest grandson Wuji say that he could actually write Turkic characters caused an exclamation from these leaders.

At this moment, a loud voice appeared: "The Han people of the Central Plains can also read and write." In terms of force and cavalry archery, it is far worse than us Turks in the steppe! ”

Everyone was in an uproar, although the Sui Dynasty was already in a thousand holes at this time, but the Turks on the steppe did not know that the Central Plains was already full of bandits, and uprisings broke out one after another.

They only know that the Sui Dynasty destroyed Tuyuhun and defeated the Western Turks a few years ago, and although the attack on Goryeo failed last year, it was also because of the rebellion of Yang Xuangan in the country. Rao was like this, and the Goryeo army still suffered a big defeat when they pursued it.

So, in their opinion, the Sui Dynasty was the most powerful country in the world. But someone dared to be so rude to the envoy of the Sui Dynasty, and he was bold!

Eldest Sun Wuji's eyes narrowed, and Yu Ming, who was sitting next to him, had already felt a faint murderous aura, knowing that he had already made a killing move.

At this time, I saw two people walking in from outside the fence, for a man who looked like a Turkic nobleman, he pushed away the guards at the door, and strode in front of the eldest grandson Wuji and Yuming.

Behind him was a young man in a high-waisted robe, and he was quite handsome. Yu Ming recognized at a glance that this was Gaisu, who had fought fiercely with him on the Yalu River, but he didn't expect this person to also come to Turkic. It seems that what Princess Yicheng told them about the fact that Goryeo and the Western Turkic envoys came to the Turkic tent is indeed true.

The surrounding Turkic nobles all had gloating expressions on their faces, and they whispered one after another, secretly thinking that there was a good show to watch!
