"Haha, Grandpa Cui is really a smart person, yes, yes, it's not just about drinking tea, it's mainly about asking for something......"

Gao Shilian still gave Cui Yan a lot of face at this time.

In any case, Cui Yan is a person close to Li Shimin, even if such a person has a low position, he can't be offended casually.

Otherwise, if he finds an opportunity to say something in Li Shimin's ear from time to time, then he Gao Shilian may not have a good time in the future.

Moreover, if you have a request from him, you naturally have to speak well.

Cui Yan hurriedly smiled and said: "Lord Gao said there, what do you ask for or not, what is the matter, even if Lord Gao says it, as long as the miscellaneous family can do it, it will definitely help the adults do it." ”

Gao Shilian is the uncle of the eldest grandson, and the Gao family is also a wealthy family, Gao Shilian has this attitude now, Cui Yan naturally does not dare to be high, maybe in the future, he will still ask Gao Shilian.

Now that he has the opportunity to make friends, Cui Yan will naturally not let it go.

After the two of them said this, Gao Shilian said his purpose.

"Invite Grandpa Cui to come today, the main thing is for you to supervise the army, then Qin Tian and I have some disagreements, Ma Zhou is Qin Tian's brother-in-law, I hope that Grandpa Cui will find a little trouble for Ma Zhou when the time comes, of course, just a little trouble."

Gao Shilian didn't dare to let Cui Yan do it, otherwise Qin Tian didn't know how to retaliate, he just had to worry about Ma Zhou having some trouble.

After saying this, Gao Shilian pushed over the wooden box that had been placed on the table early in the morning.

"This, please laugh at it."

Cui Yan's expression moved slightly, and he said, "This is?" ”

"A little care, Grandpa Cui doesn't have to mind."

As soon as he heard this, Cui Yan knew what was inside the box, and after he knew it, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Seeing Cui Yan like this, Gao Shilian also smiled lightly in his heart, he knew that no matter who it was, he needed money and interests to lure, and after he took out this money, Cui Yan was immediately happy?

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, it's just to make Ma Zhou a little trouble, Lord Gao can rest assured that there is no problem in this matter."

Hearing Cui Yan's words, Gao Shilian smiled and nodded.

After the two of them finished saying this, Cui Yan didn't stay long, and left directly, of course, when he left, he had to take away the things sent by Gao Shilian.

Watching Cui Yan leave, Gao Shilian snorted coldly: "Ma Zhou, I can't deal with Qin Tian, and I can't deal with you?" ”

In Gao Shilian's opinion, he has always looked down on Ma Zhou, and he feels that Ma Zhou just borrowed Qin Tian's relationship to get to his current position.

Now that Cui Yan, the prison army, is looking for trouble with Ma Zhou, it is no wonder that Ma Zhou's life can be better.

Everybody's working.

A few days later, Ma Zhou rushed to the grassland with 3,000 soldiers and horses, and as for the disaster relief materials, the imperial court had already instructed the state capitals along the way to prepare them, so that it could be more convenient and fast.

And just when Ma Zhou led people to the grassland, on the grassland, it was a different situation.

-------------------

Steppe, Western Turkic.

The Western Turks used to be relatively stable, and although the steppes of the Western Turks were also full of tribes and often attacked each other, they slowly reached a balance in the long period of conquest.

This balance makes them unable to eat anyone, so that they dare not act rashly.

It's just that Jieli Khan was captured, the Turks were destroyed, and some Turkic tribal leaders suddenly invaded the Western Turks, which made the originally peaceful Western Turks suddenly become a little treacherous.

The Turkic peace was broken, and inter-tribal strife began again, between the tribes that had existed before the Western Turks, and between the Western Turks and the Turkic tribes who had fled.

The Turkic tribes encroached on the territory of the Western Turks, and the tribes of the Western Turks naturally wanted to drive them out.

And some tribes of the Western Turks fought against the tribes of the Turks, and their enemies saw the opportunity in the past, so they naturally took the opportunity to destroy them.

Everyone attacked each other in this way, intriguing with each other, and the atmosphere of the Western Turks became very solemn.

And with the beginning of the conquest, many tribes that were originally good slowly fell.

Some Turkic tribes have also become a little unbearable.

After all, it's an outsider.

Among these Turkic tribes, Mozak's tribe has changed from 8,000 people to only 3,000 now.

This made Mozak incapable of surviving in the Western Turks.

As long as they encounter some enemies, they can be destroyed at any time.

This worried Mozark.

In the early autumn grasslands, the bleak and windy wind is blowing, but some pastures in the Western Turks are still green.

It was not hit by drought.

"Alas!"

In the big tent in the army, Mozak suddenly sighed, and in the big tent, a group of soldiers looked at each other, and their faces were not very good.

They are well aware of their current situation, and if they don't find a way to break the situation, they will really be annexed by the other tribes of the Western Turks.

Annexation means extinction.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what are your good ideas in this situation?"

Mozak glanced at the crowd, then asked, everyone looked at each other, and at this moment, a man walked out: "Chief, we can go back, back to our steppe." ”

This man was not very old, only in his twenties, and was a cousin of Mozak, whose name was Mo Xiang.

After hearing Mo Xiang's words, the others suddenly trembled.

"Go back, then we're just afraid of dying faster."

"That is, the current Tang Dynasty is really terrifying, they still have 10,000 soldiers and horses on the grassland, and as long as we enter their territory, they will immediately lead troops to besiege and kill us, at that time, can we be the opponent of the Tang Army?"

"The Tang Army's Tang Dao and Mo Dao teams are too powerful, we will be sent to death when we go back, and we can't go back."

“…………”

All of them were so frightened by Tang Jun that they all showed a little fear when they mentioned Tang Jun.

It's just that Mo Xiang smiled at the corner of his mouth and said: "Your worries are indeed not unreasonable, the Tang Army is indeed very powerful, but don't forget, the grassland is now invaded by drought, many herdsmen have no source of livelihood, they have begun to become barbaric in order to survive, they are constantly trying to find ways to plunder, if we return to the grassland, these people will be co-opted, maybe we will soon be able to expand the soldiers and horses, as long as the soldiers and horses are strong, when the time comes, then turn back to the Western Turks to fight for territory, what is the point?" ”

Perhaps, they are still no match for the Tang army, but it is okay to go to their former steppe to recruit some soldiers and horses, and then come to the Western Turks to fight for territory, right?

Mozak's expression moved slightly, and he saw an opportunity.
