"Why do you say that about your master?" Li Xiaogong's brows furrowed even tighter, and said, "Sure enough, the Turks are all barbarians, and they don't know how to be polite at all. ”

"Hmph......" said Ya Ji hatefully, "We tried our best to protect him from the escape, but he was good, in order to cross the river quickly, he actually pushed us all off the sheepskin raft!" ”

"Oh?" Li Xiaogong was in a bad mood, but when he heard such stories, he was also quite interested, and said, "Tell me carefully, what's going on?" ”

Han Ji talked about the past indignantly.

It is said that at that time, in front of the two armies, Lingji pulled Tong'e and turned around and ran.

Knowing that the general trend had gone, Tong'e didn't think about it, and fled straight to the river. At that time, a large number of Turks had not yet crowded over, and there was still a place for insertion by the river, so he took his personal guards to guard the riverbank, and no one was allowed to approach.

Inside the human wall, a group of nobles each held a sheepskin bag, and blew violently on their cheeks. When the sheepskin bag in his hand has been fully breathed, he then ties the air vent with a rope and ties it to the improvised raft.

Sheepskin rafts are the main means of crossing the Yellow River in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and the most important thing is the sheepskin airbags made from whole sheepskins. This requires a high degree of slaughtering skill, opening from the neck of the sheep, slowly removing the whole skin without cutting a little fur, and then after some concoction, blowing up, tying the head, tail and limbs of the skin tire, it becomes a bulging cylinder.

A number of these cylinders were tied to a wooden raft made of several pieces of wood, and the sheepskin raft was made. It's small, lightweight, and has a shallow draft, making it ideal for inland waterways, and all the parts can be taken apart, and it's lightweight, making it easy to carry. It can be described as a necessary artifact for home travel and cross-river escape.

The nobles worked together to assemble the raft and push it into the river. The moment the raft was assembled, Tong'e was the first to jump up.

The nobles also climbed up against time, for at this moment the rout had already swarmed to the river, and when they saw the sheepskin raft, they rushed over like they had seen a savior.

He was busy trying his best to stop those people, and then someone yelled: "You fools, you won't be able to get on the raft if you stop us!" ”

It dawned on him and the guards that the raft was so big, carrying the Great Khan and so many nobles, where is there still a place for us? Hurriedly looked around, only to see that the Turkic nobles on the raft were already holding their spears, drove the raft away from the river bank, and comforted them loudly: "Don't panic, come after sending our raft"

The desire to survive made Ya Ji explode, he grabbed the tip of the spear, regardless of the bleeding of his hands, and dragged the nobleman down at once, and then used his hands and feet together, and climbed onto the raft like a dog.

The nobles blamed him one after another, and Tong'e shouted: "What are you calling at this time, hurry up!" ”

Everyone woke up from a dream, paddling with their hands and feet, and in the blink of an eye the sheepskin raft sailed to the middle of the river, and the boatman was about to row to the other side of the river, but Tong'e grabbed the spear that served as a penny. The boat operator was puzzled and asked in a trembling voice, "Great Khan, what's wrong?" It's not there yet! ”

"!" Tong'e scolded: "I just won't let you row on the other side." ”

"Huh?!" The people on the raft were taken aback: "Why don't you go to the river?" After crossing the river, you can join the rear army! ”

"How do you know that there are no ambushes on the other side?" Tong'e said categorically: "We have rafts, which are safest on the river, and go downstream to meet." ”

"This, the three armies have no commanders, how to meet the enemy?"

"Whoever talks nonsense will get out." Tong'e glanced coldly at the person who spoke, and said: "The current situation is that there is no way to survive in the world, and it is hopeless, and ensuring your own safety is the most important thing." ”

Everyone nodded like pounding garlic, and sure enough, they had to sweat profusely, and they could always make the most correct choice when they were in danger.

Before they could offer a word of flattery, they heard a sudden sound of breaking through the air, and several sharp arrows were shot from the riverbank, and it was obvious that someone had spotted them. The nobles on the raft were in a mess, but the space on the raft was too small and crowded with people, where was there a place for them to dodge?

However, that is only for ordinary people, Tong'e can be the Great Khan naturally has advantages. When the sound of breaking the air sounded, he was obviously standing on the outermost side, and when the bow and arrow were fired, he had already hidden behind the nobles, treating them as human walls.

With a human shield, the dozen or so arrows that came over naturally couldn't hurt him in the slightest. Yan Ji was next to him, and after being his guard for a long time, he subconsciously wanted to protect him, and this subconscious action also saved him. The rest of the people were not so lucky, four were hit by the arrow, two fell into the river with a scream, and two fell on the raft holding the part of the arrow. Those who didn't get hit by the arrow breathed a long sigh of relief. This kung fu, the raft floated out more than a dozen feet, which was beyond the range of the bow and arrow.

Everyone secretly said that the heavens blessed them, and they were finally blessed with great lives. This is considered to have escaped from the ascension to heaven, and before everyone was happy, they heard a popping sound, and a nobleman said strangely: "Who is farting?" ”

Tong'e was the first to react, looked around, and scolded: "Let your mother's fart, it's the raft that leaks!" ”

Everyone hurriedly followed his gaze, and were horrified to see that the three sheepskin sacs were pierced by the wave of arrows just now, and were deflating unhurriedly.

"Stop!" Everyone reacted, and hurriedly tried to plug the leak, but the sheepskin bag had already been shot through, and it couldn't be saved at all, seeing that the raft gradually sank with the buoyancy of the buoyancy, and in a blink of an eye, it didn't pass the foot and neck, everyone was terrified, and now they have left the shallow water, and sinking is a death!

"The weight must be reduced!" Tong'e made the right decision again, and after speaking, her eyes searched for the raft and landed on the two wounded ones.

Everyone understood, and when they saw the malicious eyes of the others, the two wounded men were terrified and begged in horror: "Don't be the Great Khan, we are loyal......"

At this time, it was useless to say anything, and before the words fell, the two wounded were thrown down and fell into the water screaming, and sank to the bottom without a few splashes.

There were fewer people on the raft, and the tendency of the raft to sink really stopped. Tong'e breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There are four sheepskin sacs left, which can barely carry the four of us." Check it out and see how the rest of the skin is doing, so it can't leak any more. ”

The rest of the people hurriedly crouched on the edge of the raft and checked the remaining airbags. If you break an airbag, you have to go down to a person, how dare they be careless.

It doesn't matter if they don't check, they were shocked when they checked, and they were horrified to find that two of the remaining four airbags also began to leak, and several people glanced at each other, but they didn't move, and no one made a sound, ready to stand up first. As soon as the two nobles raised their feet, they were kicked down by Tong'e behind them. Tong'e shouted hysterically: "Yaji, do it!" ”

Ya Ji listened to the order, pulled out the scimitar at his waist and slashed indiscriminately, and when he boarded, two more nobles fell into the water, and only Tong'e was left on the raft, and Ya Ji also had Tong'e's younger son.

Tong'e held her youngest son in her arms and said, "It's enough to leave a bloodline...... If you escape and ascend to heaven this time, you will be my righteous son, and I will give you 10,000 people to make you a little khan! ”

Ya Ji was stunned by Tong'e's words, and saw him take out a golden scimitar from his arms, which was a token representing the Turkic co-lord, and handed it to himself and said: "Put away this scimitar, from now on, when you see the golden knife, you will be like this Khan himself." If you can't survive this time, please take care of my youngest son, you don't have to let him inherit the throne, keep my bloodline, then you are worthy of me. As he spoke, he said, "What are you still stunned about, take the knife quickly!" ”

When Ji Ji was by Tong'e's side, he had always beaten or scolded, and his sudden kindness moved him, and he was slightly moist, and his nose was sour. He looked at Tong'e, who was as kind as his father, with teary eyes, and slowly stretched out his hand.

Tong'e also had tears in her eyes and slowly handed over the golden knife. The hands of the two are getting closer and closer, a pair of old wrinkles, a pair of holes and powerful, and the meaning of incense inheritance is extremely strong.

At the moment when he was about to receive the golden knife, the raft suddenly shook, and Tong'e's body was unstable, and the golden knife came out of his hand and fell towards the river!

"Ahh Catch it! There is no room for error in the golden knife! Tong'e shouted, Ya Ji reflexively obeyed, subconsciously leaned over to pick up the golden seal, he can become the captain of Ya Ji's personal guard, standing out from the tens of thousands of Turkic warriors, quick response, agile, a Haidilao Yue rescued the golden knife.

But he was on the verge of losing his balance, and stood on one foot on the side of the raft, his body swaying and shaking, and he was about to fall into the water. He couldn't help but shout vigorously: "Great Khan, pull me!" ”

"Okay!" A gloomy and sympathetic response sounded, and when he turned around, he saw a big foot kicking down according to his waist!

He screamed and was kicked into the air, and after a few mouthfuls of water poured into it, the person had already fainted.

When he woke up, he found that he was not dead, but had been washed ashore by the current. After relieving himself a little, he wanted to escape secretly, but he saw that the Tang army was everywhere, and someone found him and was arrested.

He said his identity loudly, and was brought to Li Xiaogong's side.

Li Xiaogong laughed and said, "Sure enough, it's a dog biting a dog, you Turks do such a thing, and General Ben is not surprised at all!" ”

Li Xiaogong played with the golden knife that was searched from Ling Ji's body, and smacked it: "Originally, you are a person, it is not a pity to chop it, but seeing that you are so unlucky, and you told such a story to make the old man laugh, and this golden knife...... Forget it, I'll save you from dying. After speaking, he looked at Lao Wu and said, "Pick off his tendons and throw him by the river to fend for himself." ”

Picked on your own hands and feet? Can you say this tiger and wolf? Nirgan died nine times for a lifetime, and he was so frightened that his soul was rising, kowtowing like pounding garlic, and begging again and again: "The general spares his life!" I'm still of great use! But please make amends! ”

"You are a defeated dog, what is the use?"

"I'm useful!" Tong'e kneeled forward, wanting to hug Li Xiaogong's thigh, but Lao Wu stepped on the ground and couldn't move. He raised his head desperately and said loudly: "Tong'e is still alive, there are still tens of thousands of cavalry on the other side of the river, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops in Mobei!" If the old thing is allowed to gather the remnants of the army, he will come back sooner or later, and when the time comes, not to mention the scourge of the people of the Tang Dynasty, General Lao will have to fight again! ”

"Oh?" Li Xiaogong seemed to be moved, looked at him with interest, and said, "I'll give you a quarter of an hour to convince me, otherwise the old man will raise the bet and split the five horses!" ”

"No, no, no, never!" As soon as he saw that there was a door, he confessed more and more excitedly: "General, I am the captain of Tong'e's personal guard, and I know all his secrets. I can take you to the old thing and wipe him out on the prairie!" I can also take you to find the Turkic tribes in Mobei and let the Celestial Empire cut down the grass and eradicate it! ”

Li Xiaogong was stunned, he squatted down, stared at Ling Ji and said, "You have a grudge against Tong'e, I can understand, your own people...... Do you have a grudge too? ”

"I don't share the sky with the old thing, and I naturally have no enmity with the clansmen!" Yan Ji looked at Li Xiaogong with a stammering face and said, "The little one just now has already figured it out, Tian Khan is the co-leader of all ethnic groups. The Tang Dynasty is destined to return, and there are gods like you in charge, if the Turks are still obsessed and try to fight against the Celestial Empire, sooner or later they will be wiped out! Only by killing Tong'e, who fantasizes about being enemies of the Celestial Empire, and those tyrannical and unkind nobles, can my people live a good life, and look at how good and stable the life of those compatriots in the Hetao is now, and we want such a day. My people will thank me, I saved them! They will thank me! ”

"You seem to have some truth in what you say." Although Li Xiaogong had a different heart in his heart that the Turks were not of our race, he thought of Li Mu's internal migration policy, and those Turkic people who moved inward also planted well in Yangzhou. He didn't understand such things, but Li Mu must understand, thinking of this, Li Xiaogong patted Ling Ji's head: "Although the old man is not ashamed of your personality, you did convince me temporarily." In this way, I will send you to a place to meet someone, whether you can survive or not, let him decide! ”

"Thank you for the general's grace not to kill!" He cried excitedly, and finally escaped again, and his crotch was wet.

Li Xiaogong pointed to Lingji, and said to Lao Wu: "You personally go on a trip, hand over this person to Li Mu, tell me about the situation here, I will divide five thousand troops to go to Qiuzi, and bring the rest back to Dingxiang, if there is any news, the flying pigeon will pass the book, and communicate at any time." ”

"Yes!"

……

When Lao Wu and his party of five brought the bundled like a zongzi to Li Mu, it was already two days later. After listening to Lao Wu's report, Moham, Usman and others were so happy that they were about to jump up, the Turks experienced such a fiasco, and in the next ten years, the Western Regions trade road will be calm. Moham is a businessman, what he values is profit, a calm Silk Road, how much Qiuzi can earn, he doesn't dare to think, Harazi is going to fall, flattery is like not wanting money, and he is talking out in an uproar!

Li Mu didn't have the leisure to listen, he carefully inquired about the direction of Tong'e's escape and every word he said, and he naturally knew everything. By the time he was brought down, the scouts sent by Li Mu to monitor the remnants of the army on the south bank reported that the Turks on the south bank had already assembled and fled west for one hundred and fifty miles.
