Chapter 1550: Prairie, Royal Court! (Ask for a subscription!) Ask for a ticket! )
"Report~!"
"Qiqi Khan, Sheer Special Service and the National Teacher have returned to the grassland! Now that I'm in Chitabu, in half an hour, I'll be able to reach the royal court! ”
In the depths of the grassland, in the Yudujin Mountain in the north of the moraine, where the Eastern Turkic royal court tooth tent is located, in one of the most majestic tooth tents, a Turkic soldier said respectfully to the middle-aged man sitting on the top.
The so-called special service is an official title on the Turkic side, and the "Book of Zhou: Turkic Biography" says: "The big official has Ye Hu, the second is set up, and the second is the special service,...... All twenty-eight are the world's doings. However, the "New Tang Dynasty Book" says that "special service" is the title of the Khan's children, not a title, and is not within the twenty-eighth rank (because the Khan's children monopolize this official title, there is this said.) He was in charge of the secrets, handled diplomatic relations, and often negotiated military affairs.
The position of secret service was originally filled by members of the Turkic Khan family (Ashina), but because it required rich political experience, profound knowledge and astute adaptability, and was not the strength of the Turks, it was gradually filled by the Sogdians. In the historical books, "Teller" is a mistake in biography. Later, various ethnic groups in the north continued to use this name, such as the Uighur "Di Yin" and the Khitan "Tiwen", that is, its different translations.
In the Turks, under the Khan, there is Ye Hu, Ye Hu is equivalent to the King and Duke of Qin in the Central Plains, and the power is quite large, and under Ye Hu, it is the secret service!
The middle-aged man was wearing a brocade robe, his hair was combed into small braids one after another, a thick beard was left on his chin, and his eyes were as fierce and sharp as the wolf king, and the whole person was full of might!
This person is the current lord of the Eastern Turks, Jieli Khan!
"Huh? The national teacher is back? Do you know if they brought back the confidential files of Yanhuang Academy during this trip? ”
Hearing this, a fine light flashed in his eyes, and he leaned forward slightly, looked at the soldiers below and asked in a deep voice.
"Back to ...... Back to Khan, this little one doesn't know! It's just that there are only more than 1,000 people who came back with the national teacher! ”
The soldier cautiously looked at Jieli's face, and then he said with a trembling fist.
"What? Only a little more than a thousand people came back from the 50,000 army? ”
Hearing this, Jieli suddenly got up, his voice also raised an octave, he walked down from the top position, and walked to a foot in front of the sergeant, and continued: "Ben Khan also received news last night, saying that the national teacher had obtained the secret file from Yanhuang Academy, and the Sheer special service led 50,000 wolf cavalry elites to meet the national teacher, why did in just one night, there are only more than 1,000 people left in the 50,000 elites?" ”
"It is said that ...... It is said that the national teacher and Sheer special service encountered Li Zexuan's ambush at Longmen Pass in the Tang Dynasty, and later encountered the combined efforts of the armies of the northern state capitals of the Tang Dynasty, and almost wiped out the whole army! ”
The messenger soldier cautiously reported to Jieli.
In other words, this kind of messenger soldier is also a high-risk profession, and when it is bad news, you must always be ready to be killed by the superior to vent your anger!
"Li Zexuan! It's Li Zexuan again! ”
A hint of surprise flashed in Jieli's eyes, but then he felt that this result was a little unreasonable, and he said with a look of disbelief: "No! Didn't it mean that Li Zexuan was treating the locust plague in the Guanzhong prefectures and counties of Datang? Then why was he able to set up an ambush in advance on the way back to the grassland? ”
The herald soldier was stunned: "This ...... Little ones don't know! ”
How did he know why Li Zexuan was able to set up an ambush in advance, so he could only answer truthfully.
Jieli's eyes were angry, and after a pause, he said in a deep voice: "Go down!" When the national teacher and the Sheer special service return, let them come and see Ben Khan quickly! ”
Previously, Jieli originally wanted to personally go to meet the triumph of the witch tribulation and the Ashina Sheer army, but now that he learned that the witch tribulation was not a triumph, but a defeat and escape, how could Jieli still go to greet it? He has the heart to kill now! That's more than 40,000 wolf riders, Jieli is dripping blood in his heart!
"Yes! Khan! ”
The soldier clenched his fists and took the order.
After the soldier left, Jieli snorted heavily and cursed angrily, "Waste! It's all rubbish! A great grandmaster master, plus 50,000 elite masters, was actually folded in the hands of a small Li Zexuan, is this kid really my Turkic nemesis? ”
"Great Khan Breathe Fury!"
Seeing that Jieli was angry, a middle-aged man in a fancy suit standing next to him stepped forward and bowed to Jieli and said: "Whether it is the national teacher or the Sheer special service, they are all my Turkic good ministers and fierce generals, although this battle is lost, it will not hurt the muscles and bones, and after the national teacher and they come back, the Great Khan will learn the details of this battle and make a decision!" Don't get into trouble with the national teacher and the Sheer special service because of the anger of the moment! ”
This person was more than two months ago, went to Chang'an to ask Li Er to hand over the Khitan chieftain Ashina Simo, who was also the Eastern Turk Khan back then, but later took the initiative to abdicate and let Xian, in terms of blood relationship, Ashina Simo and Jieli are considered uncles and nephews!
Hearing this, Jieli frowned for a long time, feeling that what Ashina Simo said was very reasonable, and couldn't help nodding and saying, "Hmm! What Simo said makes sense, and let's see what they say in a moment! ”
Inside the tent, there was soon silence.
About half an hour later, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the tent, and a sergeant walked in quickly, bowed down and said, "Qiyu Khan, the national teacher and the Sheer special service are asking to see you outside the tent!" ”
"Let them in!"
Jieli had already calmed down at this time, and saw him nod expressionlessly.
"Yes!"
The soldier turned around and walked out of the tent, and after a while, the witch robe, who was dressed in a black robe but had a crust on the black robe, and Ashina Sheer, who was dressed in blood-colored leather armor, walked into the tent and saluted Jieli together: "See the Khan!" ”
"The national teacher and the Sheer special service are exempt!"
Seeing that the two of them were covered with blood, Jieli's face was slightly moved, and his tone was a little softer, and after the two straightened up, Jieli asked in a deep voice: "Sheer Special Service, Ben Khan heard that you and the national teacher were ambushed by Li Zexuan in the Tang Dynasty and suffered heavy casualties, what happened?" Hurry up! ”
Hearing this, Ashina Sheer hurriedly bowed down and said: "Hui Khan, this time in the Tang Dynasty ambush, all blame Sheer for being greedy and reckless, at that time I had already met with the national teacher in the Tang Dynasty's Madou Pass, but I learned that the secret file taken by the national teacher from Yanhuang Academy was snatched by Li Zexuan at Longmen Pass, at that time Li Zexuan had been seriously injured by the national teacher, and the ministers were unwilling, and wanted to recapture those secret files again, and capture Li Zexuan alive, so he led the army back to Longmen Pass!"
Our army could have quickly broken through the Longmen Gate, but the junior brother of Lingxu Zhenren suddenly rushed to the battlefield and won some time for the Tang army. Later, outside Yonghe Pass, our army fell into the siege of the Tang Army, and after nine deaths, I and the national teacher escaped from the Tang Dynasty and returned to the grassland!
However, this time into the Tang Dynasty, our army suffered more than 48,000 casualties, and the Tang army suffered more than 60,000 casualties. ”
Ashina Sheer didn't shake the pot, and directly carried all the pots down, in fact, the fault of this war is indeed him, but if he hadn't been greedy and rushed forward and led the army back to Longmen Pass, he should have taken the blame for the witch robbery at this time, because it was the witch robbery that lost the secret file of Yanhuang Academy, who would have the blame if he didn't take the blame?
It's a pity that there is no if in the world, it was his greed and recklessness that led to the heavy casualties of the army, and compared to the consequences he caused, the matter of the witch robbery losing the academy file is a little insignificant!
Jieli, who was sitting at the top, only then did he understand the general course of the battle, he had a calm face, and said in a cold voice: "In this way, this time I infiltrated Datang, not only did you not bring back the secret file of Yanhuang Academy, but also lost more than 40,000 elite wolf riders in Datang and almost wiped out the whole army, yes or no?" ”
If he got the academy file and lost more than 40,000 elites, Jieli would still feel better, but now he didn't get the file, and he lost so many troops in vain, isn't this just a loss of his wife and soldiers?
It's no wonder that Jieli is not annoyed in his heart!
"I'm waiting for the teacher to be unfavorable, please punish the Khan!"
Seeing that Jieli was angry, Ashina Sheer and Wu Zheng all bowed down to plead guilty.
"Humph! Good! If you let the Turks lose their troops, you deserve death! Come! ”
Jieli was furious in his heart, and he couldn't help but shout, he was about to call someone.
"Great Khan Breathe Fury!"
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Ashina Simo on the side hurriedly stood up, bowed down and said, "Great Khan is angry!" Although the national division and the Sheer special service were negligent, they were absolutely not guilty of death, and the Tang army suffered significantly more casualties than us in this battle, and the national division and the Scheer special service both had merit! The merits and demerits are offset, and please let the Great Khan be punished lightly! ”
When Jieli heard this, he subconsciously wanted to go crazy on the spot, but seeing Ashina Simo looking at him earnestly, those eyes seemed to be able to speak, constantly hinting at him not to be impulsive, taking a deep breath, Jieli said in a deep voice: "What Simo said is reasonable, but the two of you can be exempted from the death penalty, but more than 40,000 Turkic warriors died in the Tang Dynasty, and this matter cannot be without a statement!" Someone came, dragged out the Sheer special service and whipped fifty, as for the national teacher...... Although the national teacher has no merit, but there is also hard work, the national teacher will go back and rest in peace! ”
Although Jieli was a little dissatisfied with the result of the witch robbery sneaking into the Tang Dynasty this time, in order to save some face for the witch robbery, he could only suppress these dissatisfaction in his heart, after all, the persimmon was soft, obviously, the persimmon of Ashina Sheer was softer!
"Thank you Khan for your kindness!"
Ashina Sheer was not dissatisfied with Jieli's punishment decision, in fact, the moment he was defeated from Yonghe Pass, he had already thought about the punishment he might receive after returning back, in comparison, the current result is already good!
On the one hand, the main reason why the Turkic army suffered heavy losses this time was because he made a wrong strategic decision; On the other hand, if he didn't have the super personal force of the witch tribulation, he might not be able to break out of the encirclement with more than a thousand people, and it was very likely that the whole army would be wiped out!
Wu Tribulation was expressionless, did not show the joy of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, escaped punishment, and did not have the depression that should be due after the defeat, Jieli's words fell, he was silent for a moment, and then hugged his fist towards Jieli, and turned away directly.
Walking is very chic, and walking is also very domineering!
It is worthy of being a national teacher above 10,000 people under one Turkic person!
But even so, Jieli didn't say anything, and Ashina Simo and Ashina Sheer's faces didn't show a trace of surprise, obviously, they had seen this situation a lot before.
…………………………
"Witch Raider, you're finally back? I heard that the army is not good, did Father Khan blame you? ”
Leaving Jieli's tooth tent, the witch robber went directly to the west, and came to a relatively large tent, he lifted the tent curtain, raised his feet and walked in, and a Turkic woman with a delicate face hurriedly greeted him and asked with a concerned face.
"Nope!"
Wu Zheng replied lightly, and then he stepped forward to grab the woman's body and said, "Yan'er, have your illnesses recurred in the past few days since I was away?" ”
In the tone, it was full of gentleness, and in the eyes of outsiders, the demon witch who killed people without blinking, in front of a woman, actually turned into an infatuated species, if someone saw this scene, they would definitely drop their jaws!
The woman smiled softly and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine!" In the days you have been away, I haven't hurt for the first time, it's just that I often miss you very much, I'm worried about you, I'm afraid that you will be in danger in Datang! Ah, why do you have so much blood on you? Where are you hurt? Does it hurt? I asked people to call Kashgar Shaman! ”
The so-called shaman is the primitive belief of the northern peoples, which originated very early and has been very developed and mature in the matriarchal society. Shamans are almost all clan leaders, and the Queen Mother of the West, who has been deified by the Central Plains, is the shaman and chieftain.
Historians do not use the term "shaman", but only call him "witch" in writing. In the Xiongnu era, shamans played a certain role in politics and military, and all wars or other events in a state of hesitation ultimately depended on the shaman. The shamans of the northern peoples are very different from the witches of the Central Plains. A shaman must have a lot of common sense or knowledge, be able to ward off ills, be able to observe the development of things, predict the future, and predict good and bad fortune.
"Don't worry, Yan'er, this blood is not mine!"
Wu Zheng looked at the thick layer of blood stains on his body, and hurriedly comforted the woman.
The woman breathed a sigh of relief, but then, she frowned again, and then said with a worried face: "With so much blood, are you in danger in Datang?" ”
"Huh! It's not dangerous! No one in Datang can hurt me! ”
The witch tribulation pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, and then he lifted the black coat and hat on his head, intending to take off the bloody robe outside, but as soon as he lifted the hat, his face hidden in the darkness was suddenly revealed, it was a resolute, thin face, not very handsome, but very attractive, but on his right cheek, there was a very terrible scar, like it had been burned by fire!
Shocking!
