The three knights arrived in the blink of an eye. The first person was a man with a strong body and a dark face. At this time, he was wearing a leather felt hat and was dressed as a herdsman. However, Zhang Yunwen recognized this person at a glance.

Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi who has been by Tuli's side for more than two years. In the sixth year of Wude, because of Li Shimin's political needs, he and four reconnaissance battalion soldiers followed Tuli's side, which was more than two years.

"The last general, Zhao Yi, I've seen my lord!" Zhao Yi approached and dismounted to greet him. The other two soldiers also dismounted and saluted.

Seeing Zhao Yi saluting, Zhang Yunwen hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said softly: "Brother Zhao is fortunate!" The north is bitterly cold, and it looks like Brother Zhao is a little old! After speaking, I couldn't help but sigh.

Zhao Yi said excitedly: "It has been more than two years since His Majesty sent me to the Turks. In the past two years, I have missed Chang'an day and night, and I have missed those brothers! I don't know if the parents at home are healthy, and the wife and children are good! ”

Zhang Yunwen patted Zhao Yi on the shoulder: "Brother Zhao has worked hard!" Brothers have worked hard! Don't worry, this time we came to the grassland to take you back to Chang'an! You don't have to stay on this steppe and suffer in the future! ”

Zhao Yi and the other two soldiers were suddenly excited, and their eyes flashed with joy.

After recounting the old feelings, everyone walked towards the Turkic tribe and talked about business.

"By the way, Brother Zhao, didn't there be four brothers with you at the beginning? Why are there only two left? Looking at the two reconnaissance battalion soldiers, Zhang Yunwen asked.

Hearing Zhang Yunwen ask like this, a trace of gloom flashed in Zhao Yi's eyes. I only heard him whisper: "Xiao Laosan is dead, dead in the hands of the Turks!" And that Fan Xing is protecting Tuli at the moment! ”

Xu is life and death have seen a lot, Zhang Yunwen patted Zhao Yi on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Lao Tzu will definitely avenge Xiao Laosan!" Well, you just said that Fan Xing's kid is protecting Tuli, what's going on? ”

Zhao Yi shook off his distracting thoughts, and said to Zhang Yunwen intently: "A few days ago, Tuli conquered Xue Yantuo and returned from defeat, and was imprisoned in the big tent by Jieli for nearly ten days, during which he was whipped several times. Tuli was deeply ashamed. When I returned to the tooth tent, I was not at peace. First, Jieli sent people to recruit troops, but after being rejected by Tuli, the envoys left one after another. However, that same night, Tuli was assassinated. If it weren't for the fact that a few of us happened to be around, I'm afraid Tuli would have returned to the West! ”

As he spoke, seeing that he was about to reach the tribe, Zhao Yi motioned for the two brothers around him to take the more than sixty people in, while he was still standing on the side and continued to talk to Zhang Yunwen.

Since then, Tuli has had a back-to-back effect. We took the opportunity to persuade us, and Tuli went to the table to ask to enter the court. But it didn't take long for the news that Jieli was about to attack Tuli. In a panic, Tuli asked His Majesty for help, and then successively evacuated the tooth tent to the south. No, I'm going to take it down from the tent first, and then we're going to pick up the second group of people after we're settled here! ”

When Zhang Yunwen heard this, he couldn't help sneering: "When I saw this Tuli before, I thought it was a character, but now I retreated without a fight, and that's it!" ”

Hearing Zhang Yunwen say this, Zhao Yi nodded and remained silent.

"Alright, let's go!" So the two slowly walked into the tribe.

According to Zhao Yi, the tribe has only moved from the tent in recent days, and the main members are women and children. Tuli's tent, on the other hand, was nearly two hundred miles north of it.

After entering the tribe, I saw only women and children everywhere, and as for the charging Turkic knight team, there were less than two hundred people. Seeing Zhao Yi coming, it was very difficult for the herdsmen to bend down and salute.

"I didn't think you kid was doing well in the Turks!" Zhang Yunwen laughed.

"Hehe, of course, it's impossible to look at my Lao Zhao's ability. In the Turkic acre of three points of land, not to mention anything else, where are the Turkic warriors around the Turks our opponents. In this Turkic, strength is respected, they can't beat us, of course they have to respect us! Zhao Yi said with a smug look on his face.

Zhang Yunwen suddenly laughed and said: "In this way, that Jieli." Isn't Tuli the most powerful? ”

Zhao Yi stopped talking and stopped bragging.

The two of them came to a large tent. At this time, it was already full of people. More than a dozen reconnaissance battalion soldiers who had befriended Zhao Yi and others, as well as Zhang Yunwen's personal soldiers, were crowded inside, talking, laughing, and talking. Three young girls dressed in Turkic light veils are pouring milk wine for everyone one by one.

Zhang Yunwen and Zhao Yi found a place to sit cross-legged, and a Turkic girl was busy pouring milk wine for the two with a silver wine jug.

"Boss, do you see, this Turkic woman's breasts are so big! In the past two years in Turkia, the Turkic women that the old boy rewarded me with have piled up a tent, do you want me to send you a few when you go back! Talking about women, Zhao Yi, who was originally born with a heroic face, also became obscene, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Zhang Yunwen slapped Zhao Yi on the head: "Damn, Lao Tzu was sent to this place less than a month after he got married, and you still came to chill Lao Tzu!" ”

"What? Boss, are you married? Why don't you tell your brothers? If he knew that the head was married, even if it was thousands of miles away, Lao Tzu would rush over to eat and drink. Who is the woman? Which girl is so blessed to marry the head? Zhao Yi asked several questions one after another.

Zhang Yunwen took a sip of the milk wine with a strong fragrance, and glanced at Zhao Yi with his eyes: "I didn't eat the wedding wine this time, and I will have another wedding wine to eat when I go back to Chang'an!" But let's talk about it first, if the congratulatory gifts are too small, Lao Tzu won't even let you in! ”

In the laughter of everyone, Zhang Yunwen and Zhao Yi talked together, sometimes gossiping and laughing, sometimes talking about the situation, until the sky gradually darkened.

Zhao Yi and Zhang Yunwen finished their dinner in the big tent, and the rest of the soldiers gradually left the big tent.

"Brother Zhao, I'm going to leave for the Tuli Tooth Tent tomorrow, and you send someone to walk with me and the others, so as not to have any misunderstandings on the side of the Tooth Tent!" Zhang Yunwen said softly, "Although I am not afraid of those warriors of Tuli, if I fight, it will not be good after all, and the faces of both sides will not look good!" ”

Zhao Yi nodded: "The boss thinks about it!" Tomorrow I will go back to the tent with you!" ”

Zhang Yunwen couldn't help but be stunned: "If you leave, what will happen here?" ”

"Aren't there two brothers here? Don't worry, the boss! ”

Hearing that Zhao Yi had arranged it, Zhang Yunwen stopped talking.

Nothing happened overnight.

On the second day, when the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone on the grassland, Zhang Yunwen and all the knights, plus Zhao Yi, were ready to set off.

The two hundred miles on the grassland are not far away, but they are not close, and it takes a day to reach them if they gallop in the right direction and gallop on horseback. So they hurried their breakfast, and galloped north.

Passing through the grasslands, over the streams, and over the low mountains, the crowd finally arrived at Tuli's tent before dark.

Under a golden sunset, the towering tooth tent was dyed with a golden shade. In the distance, you can see the entire camp full of people, and groups of scout rangers are constantly coming out of the camp or returning to the camp. The entire tent was shrouded in pre-war tensions.

Several scouts spotted Zhang Yunwen and their cavalry team, but when they saw Zhao Yi in the lead, they immediately turned their horses around and went in other directions.

"Let's go, let's go inside!" Zhao Yi led the way in front, and everyone entered the camp smoothly.

After entering the camp, he found that there were pairs of forage and other materials piled up in the open space of the camp, and a long line of weapons was neatly arranged on the weapon rack of the yurt. Looking at the flow of people coming and going, they are all carrying scimitars at their waists.

"It seems that the situation here is really not good!" Zhang Yunwen said to himself, "By the way, Brother Zhao, you first arrange the residence of the brothers, and then go to the Tuli tent with me!" Turning his head, he said to the scout battalion soldiers and his own soldiers: "The places where you live must be next to each other, not too far apart!" Also, be extremely vigilant, have crossbow arrows wound, grenades ready, and don't be negligent! ”

"Whoa!" The crowd said in unison.

After Zhao Yi arranged everyone, he and Zhang Yunwen slowly walked towards Tuli's big tent.

Seeing that he had arrived at the big tent, Zhang Yunwen suddenly made a gesture, Zhao Yi comprehended, his steps suddenly relaxed, and he walked all the way, as quietly as a night cat.

The guards guarding the big tent glanced at the two of them curiously, but when they saw Zhao Yi, they relaxed and stared at other places.

The two of them stood outside the big tent, through the thick felt cloth, but the sound of conversation inside was clear to their ears.

I only heard Tu Li in the yurt room say a little anxiously: "Aren't you Datang the most honest?" Ben Khan has already entered the court before, and he can be regarded as your ministers of the Tang Dynasty, but now that the ministers have been attacked, why hasn't the Tang Dynasty sent troops to come? ”

Zhang Yunwen, who was standing outside, heard this, and couldn't help but feel a burst of contempt in his heart, this Tuli is really good at beating snakes with sticks, but after a table, he thought that Datang sent troops to save him, which was really good.

This is, I only heard a voice in the tent saying: "Great Khan, you don't have to worry, my Tang Dynasty is a state of integrity, besides, the Great Khan and His Majesty have incense love, Your Majesty will definitely send someone to save you!" ”

Listening to this voice, it was Fan Xing.

Tuli was silent for a moment, but sighed softly.

When Zhang Yunwen heard this, he and Zhao Yi quietly took two steps back, and signaled Zhao Yi to report. Zhao Yi said loudly as he walked: "Great Khan, look who I brought!" "Lift the curtain and enter the yurt.

Suddenly, the eyes of everyone in the tent focused on the two people who came in. One is Zhao Yi, who can be regarded as the first warrior around Tuli, and everyone is familiar with him. The other person is a young man, wearing Datang standard armor and a horizontal knife at his waist, a standard ** general dress!

This person was unknown to the rest of the Turks, but the Turks did, and asked excitedly, "General Zhang, why are you here?" ”

Zhang Yunwen's eyes swept away, and he saw that in addition to Tuli and Fan Xing, there were also seven or eight gorgeously dressed Turks in the big tent, who seemed to be Tuli's favorite high-ranking officials. At the moment, "hehe" smiled and saluted: "The young general Zhang Yunwen has seen the Turki Khan!" ”

Hearing Zhang Yunwen report to his home, those Turks suddenly let out a soft exclamation, obviously no stranger to this name.

"General Zhang, don't be polite, come, hurry up and take a seat!" As he spoke, Tu Li shifted his position and vacated a piece of land beside him, just enough to put Zhang Yunwen's ass down.

Zhang Yunwen was not polite, and waved his fists to everyone in the field, which was regarded as a salute, and then sat next to Tuli.
