"Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed", now it is up to us to lure the Jieli Khan and the Turkic army.

The generals said a word to you, I said a word, gossiping, and there was no good way to discuss it for a long time.

"Enraged! - Completely infuriate him! Xia Xue smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty, how can you completely anger Jieli Khan?" The generals wondered.

"Tai Sui's head is groundbreaking! ——" Xia Xuemei's eyes flashed with a light as sharp as a blade.

……

Two hours after the signal corps was dispatched, Xia Xue called Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang, and Ouyang Yong, and asked them to each bring a thousand elite cavalry who were good at riding and archery, brave and good at fighting, and went to the nearby steppe Turkic tribes to loot. The aim was to provoke the Turks and attract the arrival of the Jieli Khan and the Turkic soldiers. If you encounter a Turkic soldier with relatively few people, you can take the opportunity to annihilate it; If you encounter a large number of Turkic soldiers, immediately retreat to the ambush point to lure the enemy to attack.

All three of them are fierce generals. Ouyang Yong, 23 years old this year, burly, thick eyebrows and big eyes, like the statue of the king or the statue of the wrestler in the ancient stone carving art of Longmen, majestic, is a cronie who has been following Xia Xue, born with divine power. Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang both fled to the south for refuge, and were absorbed into the main army of angels after being discovered by Xia Xue.

Xue Rengui is 17 years old this year, tall, beautiful, handsome, a native of Longmen, Jiangzhou, Sanjin, is a descendant of the famous general Xue Andu during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and belongs to the Xue family in Hedong, but his generation has declined. His father Xue Liang died early, although his family was poor since he was a child, he practiced martial arts, worked hard, and was born with excellent arm strength. Later, he fled with his family to the south and joined the Angel Army.

Su Dingfang is 31 years old this year, his real name is Lie, and he is known in the world for his words. Brave and powerful, courageous. Tall, with broad shoulders, bulging cheekbones, full heaven, high nose, deep eye sockets, thick eyebrows, and a pair of large, piercing eyes that are staring forward and contemplative. This kind of eye often gives people a sense of perseverance, composure, and wisdom. He is a native of Wuyi, Jizhou. In the last years of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Su Dingfang's father, Su Yong, led thousands of township soldiers to fight against thieves for the state and county. Su Dingfang was fifteen years old, followed his father in battle, and took the lead in charging into battle many times. After Su Yong's death, the county guard of Xindu County (Jizhou) ordered Su Dingfang to take over from his father to lead the troops. He broke the Qinghe rebel leader Zhang Jincheng in the south of the county and beheaded him. Then he defeated Yang Gongqing, the leader of the Handan rebels, in the west of the county, pursued the deserters for more than 20 miles, and beheaded many prisoners. From then on, the rebels did not dare to approach the state and county borders, and the townships relied on Su Dingfang for protection. Later, after the fall of the Sui Dynasty, in order to avoid war and famine, he fled to the south with his family and joined the Angel Army.

"Yes!" Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang, and Ouyang Yong each led a thousand cavalry to divide into three routes, and killed the Turkic tribes from different directions.

Waking up at dawn, the Turkic Orion Hada tried to wake up his brothers. The second brother, Haas, was prone on his stomach, with one foot in a leather boot sticking out, and slept so soundly that it was absolutely impossible for him to answer. The half-asleep third brother Ula refused to move so early. Even Unn, the hound, who was cowering and sleeping in the corner of the haystack, was reluctant to get up, and lazily straightened and stood on one hind leg before the other.

"What two lazy guys!" Hada shook his head helplessly, put on his leather boots, took his bow and arrows, and carefully opened the creaking door of the yurt and walked out of the yurt. The horses were also dozing off. Only one horse was listlessly chewing the hay, snorting and snorting all over the edge of the manger. It was still dark outside.

Unn the hound slipped out with Hada, stretched his long waist, and ran merrily along the path behind the yurt, knowing that his master was going to hunt, and became sleepy, and became very excited.

Hada followed closely with swift and brisk steps, watching the sky without ceasing. He hoped that the sun would not come out until he reached the moor. But the sun does not delay. The moon, which had shone brightly when he had first gone out, now shone like a piece of mercury; The pink glitter of the distant dawn, which used to be very eye-catching, is now to be discovered by looking closely; The blurred spots on the distant Yin Mountain Fields are now clear at a glance. It was bales of hay. The dew on the weeds wet Hada's legs and most of his coat. Even the slightest sound could be heard in the obvious silence of the early morning, and he shivered, the early spring in the Yinshan grassland was still very cold.

An insect flew past Hada's ear, whistling like a meteor. He looked closely, and saw that there was a second and a third. They flew over the meadow and disappeared across the moor. The sheep gut trail leads all the way to the moor.

The moor can be identified by the fog rising from above, which is thicker in some places and lighter in others, so that the miscellaneous bush forest looks like an island swaying in the clouds. By the fire on the edge of the moor, the Turkic herders, covered with clothes, lay by the fire on the edge of the moor, and all fell asleep at dawn. Not far from them, three horses with their feet tied together were walking around. One of the anklets rattled and rattled.

Unn the Hound walked beside his master, begging him to run to the front, looking around. Hada walked past the sleeping herdsmen, and when he reached the first moor, he checked his bow and arrows, and released the hounds. There was a chestnut horse with a fat, smooth three-year-old mouth, and he was startled at the sight of a hound, pouting his tail and snorting. The rest of the horses were also startled, and their tethered feet waded across the pond, their hooves pulled out of the thick mud, and they struggled to jump out of the mud pond with a clattering sound. Unn the hound stood still, staring at the horses with a sneering look and an inquiring look at Hada. Hada patted Unn and whistled as a signal that it was now ready to act.

Unn the hound, cheerful and anxious, ran through the turbulent mud beneath his feet.

As soon as the hound ran into the swamp, he immediately sniffed out the smell of birds that permeated the whole region in the rhizomes, aquatic weeds, mud, and horse manure that it was unfamiliar with, and this strong bird smell stimulated it more than anything else. In the middle of moss and sorrel grass, the smell is very strong; But it is not possible to determine which is thicker and which is lighter. To figure this out, it has to go a little further with the wind.

Un, the hound, could hardly feel his legs moving, and ran wildly on his feet, and in this way, he could jump and stop if necessary, and he ran to the right, far away from the breeze blowing in the east before sunrise, and then turned and went upwind. It opened its nostrils and took a breath of air, and immediately realized that not only were there breaths, but that they were there, right in front of it, not just one, but many of them.

It slowed down. They are there, but where exactly, it is not yet possible to determine. In order to determine the location, it began to circle around, and suddenly its owner's voice diverted its attention. "Une! Over here! He said, pointing to the other side.

It stood still, as if to ask if it was better to do what it had started. But he repeated the order with great vigour, pointing to a pile of small mounds of grass that could not possibly be submerged. He complied, and for his pleasure it pretended to be looking, and walked around the mound of grass, and returned to its original place, and immediately smelled them again.

Now, when he stopped bothering it, it knew what to do, and did not look at its feet, and to its annoyance was that it stumbled over the mounds of grass and fell into the water, but with its flexible and powerful paws it overcame this difficulty, and began to circle in order to make all things clear. Their breath drifted in stronger and clearer and clearer way, and suddenly it understood perfectly well that there was one here, just behind the mound, five paces in front of it, and it stood still, and its whole body stiffened.

Because the legs were so short, it couldn't see anything in front of it, but it smelled that it was less than five paces away. It stood still, becoming more and more aware of its existence, and taking great pleasure in the anticipation. Its stiff tail pouted straight, only the tip of the tail shuddered. Its mouth is slightly open, and its ears are erect. It ran with one ear turned to one side, and it breathed heavily, but cautiously, squinting its eyes rather than turning its head, looking back more cautiously at its master.

He stumbled over the mound of grass with the look it was accustomed to and the terrible look it always had, but it felt that he was walking surprisingly slowly. It thought he was walking slowly, but he was actually running.

He noticed the peculiar searching posture of the hound Un, whose body was almost entirely attached to the ground, as if dragging its hind legs in a great stride, and its mouth was slightly open, and he knew that it was attracting the mountain sandpiper, and as he ran towards it, he prayed in his heart that he would succeed, especially on this bird. Walking up to it, he looked ahead in a condescending position, his eyes seeing what its nose was smelling. In the clearing in the middle of the mound, he saw a sandpiper. It twisted its head, listening intently. No sooner had it spread its wings than it retracted, and with a clumsy wag of its tail, it disappeared in the corner.

"Grab it, catch it!" Hada shouted, pushing Unn from behind.

"But I can't go," it thought to itself. "Where am I going? I can smell them from here, but if I move forward, I have no idea where they are or what they are. But he nudged it with his knee again, whispering excitedly, "Hold it, Un, catch it!" ”

"Well, if he wants to do that, I'll do it, but now I can't take any responsibility." Unn thought to himself, and rushed at full speed into the middle of the grass in front of him. Now it doesn't smell anything, it's just a matter of looking at it somehow.

Ten paces away from the original place, with the characteristic clucking and flapping sound of the Sandpiper, a Sandpiper flew up.

Immediately after the sound of a bowstring, it plopped and fell into the wet mud. The other one, without waiting for the hounds to be alarmed, flew up behind Hada.

By the time Hada turned around, it was already flying away. But his feathered arrow hit it. The second sandpiper flew twenty paces, flew up diagonally, fell upside down, flipped a few pounds like a ball thrown out, and fell to the dry ground with a thud.

"Good luck today!" Hada thought and put the heated Fat Sandpiper in the hunting bag.

Hada drew another arrow from his quiver, and when he set out into the distance, the sun was already rising, though it was still obscured by dark clouds. The moon lost its brilliance and shimmered like a cloud in the sky; Not a single star is out of sight. The aquatic plants that used to glow silvery-white in the dew now shimmer golden. The muddy pond is like a patch of amber. The birds of the swamp stirred in the trees where the dew shimmered and the long shadows cast on the brook. A harrier hawk woke up and stopped on a haystack, its head twisting here and there, looking disapprovingly at the swamp.

If the first bird or beast is not spared, then the day will be all right, and the hunter is really right.

Tired, hungry, and happy, Hada had trekked for about ten miles in the distant sky, and had already hunted eighteen bloody game, and the sandpipers and grouses, which had no longer had the vigor of flying, shrunk into a ball, wilted, with blood clots on their bodies, and their heads tilted to one side.

"Today's harvest is really good!" Hada sat on a high ground, looked at the fruitful prey, drank the mare's milk wine contentedly, took two pieces of jerky from the bag of dry food, threw one to Unn the hound, and put the other in his mouth and chewed it.

Suddenly, Unn the hound stared restlessly at the distance and barked, and there was a strange sound in the morning light. In the distance, a gray line surged on the horizon of the yellow sand, and then turned into a surging tide, and the iron hooves of countless war horses trampled on the green, gray and yellow mottled Yin Mountain grassland, and the earth trembled slightly.

"Woo~~", like a wolf howling in the moon, but it is extremely majestic, it is a terrifying sound formed by countless knights shouting in unison. Under the faint morning light, countless black shadows rushed from afar, like churning waves, surging and shaking the heavens and the earth. A long knife with a bright handle quietly held in his hand, and with the galloping of the vigorous horse, looking from afar, there was a shocking cold light under the morning light.

Hada was dumbfounded, the blood in his body seemed to freeze instantly, his mouth opened wide and forgot to chew on the jerky, and a cold breath rose from the soles of his feet to the top of his head......

After three days, the Turkic tribes near the Yinshan steppe were all sacked, and the angel army seized a large number of cattle and sheep, food, bows and arrows, tents and other property, and transported them to the Yinshan angel army garrison one by one.

For a time, the nest exploded on the steppe, and the Turkic tribes were terrified and complained, and the news reached the ears of the Turkic Jieli Khan like a tide.

Jieli Khan was furious, "Damn, it used to be Lao Tzu who robbed others, but this time someone actually ate leopard gall and dared to grab Lao Tzu's head!" Quickly convene all the ministries, Lao Tzu is going to skin all this group of rabbits alive this time! ”

When the Turkic Jieli Khan heard that the troops who came to rob them this time were fighting under the banner of the Angel Army, he was even more angry: "Damn, the Angel Kingdom is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, but Lao Tzu has never robbed them, this time he actually bullied our big Turks, I think I am tired of it!" ”

He suddenly thought that in the past, the queen of the Angel Kingdom disguised herself as a merchant and had sneaked into Liaodong, led people to attack the Turkic city of Tongliao, and ambushed the pursuing Turkic army when retreating, killing and wounding a large number of Turkic warriors.

"! This blood debt must be repaid today. "The Turkic Khan was in tears.

However, I heard a report from the scout: The queen of the angel kingdom personally led an army to the steppe to plunder, and only brought 10,000 horses. couldn't help but be overjoyed, looking up to the sky and laughing: "Hahaha! A girl with empty eyes! - Hahaha! What a godsend! - Hahaha! This time you don't want to escape from Ben Khan's palm! - This time, Lao Tzu wants to settle the old accounts together! Hahaha! ——”

He instructed his subordinates: "I heard that the queen of the angel kingdom looks like a fairy, remember, you must capture this little queen alive." New accounts and old accounts, this time I want to let this little queen who ate the gall of a leopard and dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head pay it off together! ”

Thinking that the beautiful and incomparable queen was going to be a prisoner of him, the Turkic Jieli Khan couldn't help but be extremely excited, and laughed: "Ten thousand horses, not enough for me to stuff my teeth, hahaha!" - Beauty, wait for me to catch you! Hahahaha! ——”
