To the west of the Uighurs there were two large Turkic tribes, the Turgish and Qarluq, and to the north of the Uighurs there were three tribes: the Kyu, Dubo, and Guligan, all of which belonged to the Chuyue tribe. The Hui gradually became stronger in the area of Hunhe Prefecture, threatening the two major tribes of Dubo and Guligan. The grassland is so big, whoever occupies more territory will have more cattle and sheep.

Guo Li and his entourage crossed the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, and on the way west to Hunhe Prefecture, they met Prince Yiran of the Chuyue tribe, and under the prince's "warm" invitation, the army of Liang Wan of Moyan Si and Gao Jicoop followed Prince Yiran to a medium-sized tribe in the Chuyue tribe.

"Since Prince Yiran has been graciously invited, he won't ignore the meal, right?" The other party walked all the way, but he didn't even notice that he was followed by an army of 20,000.

"No problem, the Chuyue Tribe treats guests with the same respect as our Khan." Prince Yiran had already found out that there were 1,000 guards in this group, and he intended to make friends with him.

"I also ask Prince Yiran to prepare a meal for more than 20,000 people." Princess Wan'an couldn't help but laugh.

"20,000?" Prince Yiran now knew that Guo Li had brought more than 20,000 people with him.

When the tribe Aqimu learned that there were more than 20,000 guests brought back by the prince, he was immediately impressed by the prince. There are not so many rules in the grassland as in the Central Plains, what kind of orthodox heaven is taught. On the grassland, it depends on who has the most strength, and who has more warriors who can dominate the grassland. The tribes are unable to annex each other, but they can tolerate each other as a family. Aqimu arranged for people to kill cattle and sheep, and he was very busy. Only Prince Yiran is like a dream, what kind of person has more than 20,000 followers?

The princess put Prince Yiran together, and her heart was extremely comfortable. Although he is in the other tribe, he is not worried that the other party will be angry.

Prince Yiran was very happy after suffering a dumb loss, which made Guo Li very confused.

"The steppe is divided, and no one can help anyone. If the 20,000 elite horsemen behind Ziyi are invested in any force, the balance of power on the grassland will be broken, and the major tribes are eager to tie up Ziyi, how can there be complaints? ”

In the big tent of Akimu, Prince Yiran sat on the top. On the left are Guo Li, Princess, Meng Haoran, Gao Jicoop, Li Guangbi, Mo Yansi and others, and Jian Hu and Ge Shuhan are standing behind Guo Li. At the head of the right is Aqimu, an old man accompanied by Prince Yiran, a nobleman among the Aqimu tribe.

Prince Yiran smiled heartily, "Welcome to the grassland, Yiran is ashamed, I don't know your identity yet." ”

Since Prince Yiran cares so much, the concubine will introduce it to the prince. Sitting next to the concubine is Guo Li, the general of the Tang Dynasty, the following brother Meng is General Guo's staff, and the next one is the general Xiaowei Gao Jicoop, the commander of the Liangshan regiment, Li Guangbi, and the son of the patriarch of the Hui clan, Mo Yan. "The princess plays the role of Guo Li, and life is like a dream all depends on acting skills.

"Seeking the Western General Guo Li? But Guo Li, who defeated the 200,000-strong army of Tubo a few days ago? Prince Yiran was shocked, obviously the battle between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo had already spread to the grassland.

"How dare you, the prince is smiling, this handsome is just lucky." Guo Li said modestly.

Prince Yiran was relieved, no wonder the Guo Li clan around him played such a role, no wonder there were 20,000 elite horsemen as his entourage.

"Ben Shuai went to the grassland, but in fact, there is something to solve."

"Guo Shuai, please speak, everything that can be done by the Chuyue tribe must be duty-bound."

"Hui Hui moved to Hunhe Prefecture for many years, and has been oppressed by the Chuyue tribe. This time I came to the grassland to seek justice for Hui Hui, but Ben Shuai saw with his own eyes that the people of the Chuyue tribe were kind, and he didn't know how to solve this matter, so how did the prince solve it? ”

Prince Yiran had long heard of the contradictions between the Hui and Dubo tribes.

The area around Hunhe Prefecture was the territory of the Dubo tribe in the early years, and since Taizong's defeat of the Turks, Dubo moved north. Later, after the Turks and the Tang Dynasty re-established harmonious relations, Dubo wanted to come back and found that there had already been Hui people living in the area of Hunhe Prefecture. After Hui moved in, the two sides fought several times, but no one could help anyone. The Hui people returned to the Tang Dynasty, and Yiran's father, Viga Khan, was not good at waging war directly against the Hui.

"Since Guo Shuai said it, Dubo should back down." Prince Yiran would rather offend the Dubo tribe than offend Guo Li.

"I wonder if Prince Yiran has a map?" Guo Li asked suddenly.

Prince Yiran called for a map, a map of the grassland.

Guo Li pointed to the location of Lake Baikal in the north and asked, "Why don't the Chuyue tribes occupy this fertile steppe?" Relying on the small sea (Lake Baikal), it is suitable for the development of the tribe. ”

Of course, Yiran knew the area that Guo Li was referring to, it was not marked on the map, and this area was occupied by the Murowei tribe.

"If Ben Shuai helps the Chu Yue tribe to take Xiaohai, will Hui be able to live in Hunhe Prefecture for a long time?"

Prince Yiran's eyes lit up, he originally promised Guo Li to let the Dubo tribe back down, and it was inevitable to offend Ye Hu of the Dubo tribe, but now Guo Li promised to help take Xiaohai, and when the time comes, Dubo will negotiate with other tribes to demarcate the territory, and compared to the Xiaohai Wanli grassland, Hunhe Prefecture is nothing.

"Deal!" Prince Yiran was secretly glad to have met Guo Li as soon as possible, otherwise the Chuyue tribe would have suffered a great disaster.

Guo Li naturally made sense to do this, and the Viga Khan of the Chuyue tribe was subject to the Tang Dynasty like Tuqishi and Gelulu, and belonged to the jurisdiction of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate. rashly helping Hui to attack the other side and provoke the disaster of war, I am afraid that Li Longji will try to question him without the imperial history to write. Now Guo Li, Hui Hui, and the Chuyue tribe have taken the vast world of Xiaohai together, and it is better to say that it is for the Tang Dynasty to expand its territory.

Guo Li and his entourage became the most respected guests on the grassland, and although the number of Aqimu's tribe was small, they were more than enthusiastic, and more than a dozen bonfires were lit on the grassland that night to celebrate.

Singing and dancing, the fire is shining.

"Why doesn't the marshal rejoice with everyone?" Prince Yiran asked.

Guo Li remembered the same bonfire party, when it was to solve the problem of young people with rebellious tendencies in the Servant Bone Clan. Tuoba Mulan agreed to marry the servant Huai'en at that time, and now the young couple is happy. Looking at Guli and Jianhu in the field, Ge Shuhan and Nazha happily danced around the bonfire together, and suddenly felt that they had a talent for being a matchmaker. Prince Yiran is so handsome, maybe it's Xia Jiang's favorite type. Xia Jiang was born in Jiangnan, graceful and gentle little jasper, maybe this prince just likes this type. These two people are all over the world, and it is not easy to get together.

"The prince is not depressed? If the prince is free to go to Chang'an, he must inform the commander. ”

Prince Yiran said happily: "Father Khan has heard for a long time that the Central Plains woman is beautiful, and the princess of the Tang Dynasty has wanted to ask for marriage to the Tang Dynasty many times. ”

Guo Li's face was black, the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, Yongmu, had just gotten married, except for Wan An, the princess of the right age was at most fourteen years old, and the Viga Khan wanted the old cow to eat tender grass? Li Longji would never agree to marry his daughter to Vigha Khan.

"What are Ziyi and the prince talking about?" The princess walked over and sat down with Guo Li.

"Just now the prince said that Viga Khan wanted to marry the Tang Dynasty and asked to marry the Tang princess."

"If the prince goes to Chang'an, it is estimated that the emperor will agree to marry his daughter to the prince. If the Vigha Khan had asked for a marriage, most of them would not have agreed. ”

Prince Yiran was overjoyed and kept this sentence firmly in his heart.

"Ziyi, dance with me." The princess spoke.

"Let's go together, there will be more people to be lively." Prince Yiran graciously invited.

Guo Li got up and took the princess's little hand, although Jianhu had been dancing with Gu Li, his eyes had been staring at Guo Li, and when he saw Guo Li get up, he hurriedly pulled Gu Li to Guo Li's side to protect him.

"Where did Goshuhan and Nazha go?"

"The two of them must be going to a secret place for a tryst, and the handsome don't care about them." Guli has always spoken straightforwardly.

The cheating tryst has nothing to do with Guo Li, and Jianhu is always following him, and if he wants to have a tryst with that woman, he has to look at Jianhu's face, which Guo Li is absolutely impossible. But when the princess heard about the tryst, she longed for it.

Everyone entered the campfire, and when the others saw the prince and the marshal entering the circle, they automatically made way of a door. It was the first time for the princess to participate in such a grand event, holding Guo Li's hand and laughing around the bonfire.

The next day, Ye Hu of the Dubo tribe and Ye Hu of the Guli tribe arrived one after another. The two Ye Guards were accompanied by several guards, and they were physically strong.

Everyone sat down to talk about the conquest of the Murowei tribe, two Ye Hu, a prince, a general, and Mo Yan of the Hui tribe.

In fact, it is more about levy, but it is better to discuss the partition. The focus of the two Ye Hu is not how to lay down this territory, but the distribution of benefits after the defeat. The two Ye Hu quarreled so much that their faces were red and their necks were thick, and others couldn't intervene and couldn't speak. After arguing for a long time, in accordance with the rules of the grassland, the competition was decided to win or lose.

Guo Li doesn't understand Turkic and doesn't mind, originally the affairs of the grassland have little to do with him, as long as he can help Hui to hold the territory of Hunhe Prefecture, the rest of the place can be divided up as much as possible. The same is true of Mo Yansi, who was given the task of ensuring that Hui Hui is currently entrenched in Hunhe Prefecture. Xiaohai's territory is large, and the entire Hui people can't fill it up.

Among the several guards brought by Du Soye Hu, three warriors with round arms and strong bones stood out, and looked at the guards of the Guli Dry Ye Protector defiantly. Guo Li had heard the story of Tian Ji's horse racing, and if Guo Li arranged either side, the odds would be greater. The people on the grassland know these flowery intestines, and they will fight against the generals, and the first warrior of the tribe will take the lead, and the competition is wrestling.

Guo Li was an eye-opener.

The two stout men looked at each other looking for each other's shortcomings, and after tentative contact, they moved as fast as lightning, and the two sides won the battle in an instant. Although the Dubo warriors are clumsy, they take a dexterous path, taking the lead to fight fast, and the warriors of the backbone and tribe stabilize the next game, and insist on unloading the force to reduce the ten meetings with the force.

In the first game, the backbone tribune won.

In the second game, the wrestlers sent by the Dubo tribe simply pulled back a game, otherwise Dubo Yehu's face was extremely ugly. Guo Li was wondering, did the Guli tribe use the tricks of Tian Ji horse racing, using the tricks of the upper donkey against the middle donkey, the middle donkey against the lower donkey, and the lower donkey against the upper donkey? Otherwise, the warriors of the two tribes would not have lost so neatly.

In the tiebreaker, the smallest of the six Warriors was played. The warriors who are all on the air just look at the big guys on the outside, and they are sure to outperform the other party.

The onlookers cheered on both sides in Turkic dialect, with the big guys taking the upper hand at the beginning, staring at the little ones to attack everywhere in search of a decisive point. Although the small man suffers in size, he is agile and agile to dodge the opponent's attack. The two looked at each other and pulled up a stance. On the face of it, the big guys have the upper hand. The exposed skin showed a healthy complexion, and after more than a dozen rounds of stalemate between the two sides, the little man saw the opportunity to quickly bypass the big man's offensive line, taking advantage of the big man's unstable center of gravity to exert force, and the big man fell to the ground, his face changed greatly.

The backbone of the tribe wins.

Prince Yiran made the final ruling: after the Xiaohai area was defeated, it would be returned to the Guligan tribe, the original area of Guligan would be returned to the Dubo tribe, and the Hunhe Prefecture would be returned to the Su tribe.

There was no opinion.

"The martial arts you learned there?" After Jian Hu finished speaking, he jumped into the middle and fought with the little man just now.

Both of them have martial arts, similar footwork moves, and they are indistinguishable from each other.

Guo Li wondered, could it be that there was any relationship between these two people? Jianhu rarely cares about foreign affairs, and at this moment he actually took the initiative to provoke.

The Aqimu tribe applauded. In the contest between the little man and the big guy just now, no one thought how tall the little man was. At this moment, when Jianhu was off the field, everyone found out that this little man was deeply hidden. Jianhu's martial arts are superb, and he witnessed it with his own eyes when Guo Li was attacked. The chess played by these two people is inseparable when their opponents are inseparable, and there must be a reason for this.

The two figures in the field separated.

"Taizong martial arts, how can you?" Jianhu asked.

"How did you do that?" The other party disagreed.

"The Li family is not filial to its descendants, of course the Li family will pass on martial arts."

"Ancestor Li Chong, under Li Mei, who are you?" Someone came to report their origins.

"Ancestor Li Wen, since he is a descendant of the Li family, why does he live in the grassland?" Sword Lake asked.

"The descendants of the Li family, haha, except for the emperor who sat on the dragon chair in Chang'an City, the rest of the descendants of the Li family who can survive are not sneaky?" Li Mei smiled bitterly.

Guo Li saw that the other party seemed to have a lot of origins, and called Jianhu and Li Mei together, and then understood the relationship between the two.

Li Chong is the son of Taizong, when Empress Wu unjustly killed the loyal ministers of the court, Li Zhen and Li Chong father and son rebelled. After the defeat, Empress Wu ordered all the families to be beheaded, and all the descendants of the Li family of Li Zhen were killed. Li Chong is Li Zhen's eldest son, and Li Wen is Li Zhen's third son. As for how Li Mei and Jianhu survived, there must be hidden secrets in them.

Guo Li left the two to speak. Two people are of the same origin, and one sue for family feuds. It's just that the enemy has become a thing of the past, and the Tang Dynasty is the descendant of the Li family who became the emperor after all. Although there is hatred in the hearts of two people, they can only forget this hatred. In fact, this is not a blessing for the two of them.

"It's better to follow Master Guo and talk to the adults tomorrow." Sword Lake is looking for a way out for his brother.

"Lord Guo?" Li Mei thought to herself, it seemed good to follow Master Guo.
