The gift of Zhengdan pilgrimage has been completed, and the vassal missions of all parties have left Luoyang, the capital of God. v pineapple n small v said

The first to set off were overseas vassals such as the Wa Kingdom, Silla and Baekje, followed by the tribes of the Far North such as the Tiele Nine Surnames, the Turgish, the Zhisu, and the Hui Empire, some of which were far across the sea, and some were thousands of miles apart, and the entanglement of interests was not deep.

Empress Wu did not return in Dengfeng, and was sent off by the imperial heir Li Dan, Princess Taiping and Liang Wang Wu Sansi and others.

Directly north of the Shendu, outside the Anxi Gate, the imperial heir Li Dan and Deng Huaiyu, the secretary of the Honglu Temple, saw off the Western Turkic Khan Ashina Hu Sero.

"The Khan has come to work hard, his fists are warm, His Majesty and the palace are both in mind, the Western Turks are the Great Zhou Xisai Domain, and have always been of one heart and one mind with the Great Zhou, the difficulty of the Western Turks, that is, the difficulty of the Great Zhou, the palace will never sit idly by, and please let the Khan feel relieved" Li Dan's posture is very high, and he has been doing this for the past few days, trying to consolidate his identity as the second prince of the Celestial Dynasty in the vassal country.

Deng Huaiyu was speechless, thinking that he must find a proper time to convey this situation, so as not to be accidentally dragged into the water.

"Thank you to His Royal Highness, although Hu Seluo is a Hu person, he has been blessed by the Heavenly Empire, and he has been able to breathe, and he is willing to do his best to be loyal, wait for His Majesty's decree, and drive forward for His Majesty" Ashina Hu Sero has been attached for a long time, and he knows a little about the internal struggle of the Great Zhou court, he has seen the military might of the Great Zhou Dynasty in Xisai, and naturally he will not openly contradict Li Dan and damage the dignity of the Celestial Empire, but he will not say much, just read diplomatic rhetoric in a proper manner, and keep putting His Majesty in front.

Li Dan's expression stiffened slightly, smiled, and handed over a glass of practice wine, "This palace wishes the khan a smooth journey"

Ashina Huthro took it with both hands, drank it all, bowed with his fists, and after saluting respectfully, he turned over and stepped onto the horse.

"Woo ......"

The horn sounded desolately, and the Western Turkic mission slowly set off.

"The thief of the Western Turks, Hugh wants to escape"

"Western Turkic mongrel, robbers, return Timur's gold"

……

A chaotic scolding sounded as the wind of a Turkic knight returned, rolling up the sand and dust in the sky. Li Dan couldn't open his eyes.

Ashina Hu Sero turned his horse's head when he heard the sound, swept his tiger eyes, and saw that there were about 20 horsemen chasing after him, all of whom were post-Turkic minion cavalry, and he didn't even have a ten-division commander, so he couldn't help but be furious and scolded sharply, "Bastard, do you still have rules for the post-Turks?" Some of the men of the Western Turks are cows and sheepskins, who covets your scattered gold? ”

The cavalrymen of the Later Turks obviously also saw his noble status, and they couldn't help but be frustrated, and after pushing for a long time, a knight mustered up the courage to come forward, and saluted with his hand on his chest, "Great Khan, Timur's gold was given by Prince Mojilian, and it weighed a pound, and he calculated that he wanted to buy lambs for Grandma and Abba ......"

Ashina Huthro was very impatient, "Who is Timur?" What does his loss of gold have to do with my Western Turks? ”

There was a knight who was huddled in front of him, looking a little thin, and stumbled, "Great Khan, I, I am Timur, yesterday I accompanied Prince Mojilian to visit the southern city, won the prince's favor, gave gold, met a Turkic fellow, made an appointment to drink together at night, I got drunk, woke up and lay outside the camp, and the wrapping on my body was gone......"

"Then how can you say that I am from the Western Turks?" Ashina Huseroze rode his horse a few steps forward, and the whip waved back and forth on Timur's nose, with a hint of scarlet in his eyes, and the threat was strong.

"The Wolf God is on top"

Timur roared, turned over and dismounted, fell to his knees, and held up a gray sheepskin in his hand, with a blood-red two-headed wolf mark painted on it, which was the token worn by the people of the Western Turkic mission.

"Slap ......" Ashina Hu Sero whipped the sheepskin away, no matter whether what Timur said was true or not, in front of the heir of the Great Zhou Emperor, he would never admit this kind of ugly thing, "Bastard, I'm afraid you are the thief, stealing the tokens of the Western Turks, and dare to wantonly slander the reputation of the Western Turks?" Really when we are mud pinched can't be? ”

"Post-Turkic thieves, thieves shout to catch thieves, deceive people too much"

Someone in the Western Turkic mission roared, and the cavalry in the mission shouted and turned their horses' heads and spread them into a scimitar shape, surrounding this wave of Later Turkic knights.

"No, no," Timur hurriedly climbed forward, picked up the piece of sheepskin, lifted it up, and showed it around, "I didn't steal, he dropped it on the ground, I picked it up"

"Timur get up, they won't admit it" Among the post-Turkic knights, some people also woke up, and these kings and eight lambs clearly wanted to bully others and repay their debts.

The encirclement of the Western Turks is getting smaller and smaller, and the post-Turks have few people, but they are not frightened, and they have drawn their scimitars one after another, holding on and not retreating.

The situation is dangerous and imminent.

Deng Huaiyu was so anxious that he turned around, "His Royal Highness, if you don't persuade people anymore, the two are going to fight."

Li Dan's expression changed, his mind was complicated, and he raised his hand and said, "Da Honglu is not in a hurry, and wait, there are few Turkic people in the post-Turkic period, so I must be able to turn the war into a jade silk, besides, I have too few soldiers and horses around me, you can send someone to the nearest Shendu Yuan to give an order, and let Yang Siqiao lead the army to come."

A basin of cold water poured down, Deng Huaiyu glanced at Li Dan deeply, slowly retreated, and did not say a word. Shendu Yuan is near, but Yang Siqiao is in charge of the Beiya Forbidden Army, where can it be easily mobilized? The imperial heir is deliberately delaying time.

Li Dan ignored Deng Huaiyu's thoughts, and there was coldness in his eyes.

On the one hand, he is the in-law of Quan Ce, on the other hand, he doesn't know the current affairs, and he is a barbarian outside, so he makes a fuss like this for a pound of gold, and let them fight and make enemies, at best, it is just the life and death of dozens of lowly soldiers, it is not worth caring about, anyway, he has already sent someone to transfer troops, and he can't be regarded as sitting idly by.

"It's all Timur's sin, Timur has burdened you" Among the knights of the post-Turkic period, Timur held a scimitar and was sad.

"What nonsense are you talking about" There was a strong man beside him, who had always been prestigious, scolded, stretched out his hand and slapped him on the back of the head.

"When Chang" "Sigh Law"

Timur was slapped in the face, but did not grasp the scimitar, and the scimitar fell and slashed at the leg of a horse, which was in pain, neighed, stood upright, and rushed forward frantically.

"The post-Turkic cubs rushed over, kill" The Western Turkic cavalry was at a tense moment, and immediately rushed to meet the attack.

The two sides fought together, and the Turks were few, and they could not hold out for long, and the whole army was annihilated.

"Western Turkic mongrel, dare to kill and injure my rear Turkic warriors, accept your life" Yang I led a team of more than 100 people to come, seeing that his family had been killed and wounded, his eyes were split.

At this point, Ashina Hu Thero was also a little timid, and roared wildly, "Catch them alive, shoot their horses, catch them alive"

Not far away, Li Dan also recognized that the person who came with the Later Turkic team was actually the eldest son of Mo Si, Yang Izhi, and was immediately stunned, "Da Honglu, quickly send someone forward to protect Prince Yang Izhi, there must be no mistake."

Deng Huaiyu said slowly, "Your Highness, there are few officials, and the guards of His Highness are already stretched, and the ministers sent someone to urge them, have you sent Yang Palace Supervisor to send troops?" ”

Li Dan's cheeks suddenly turned the color of pork liver.
