Xiongnu, Dadu. It is rare to have a place called a city on the grassland, because the people on the grassland are accustomed to nomadic life, and it is rare to have a stable time in the return season of the year, and it is really difficult to imagine the long-term settlement of the group. However, Dadu is a special case, originally it was just a small town extending in all directions, attached to the Namusuo River across the grassland, after the decisive battle between the Central Plains and the Central Plains Chinese forty years ago, the new Xiongnu Khan decided to build a large number of buildings, expand this place into a city, as the capital of the Xiongnu.

Under his leadership, the Central Plains Rebellion was in the chaotic steppe, and in just a few years it was unified, ending the situation of large and small tribes separating themselves, and the Xiongnu became a powerful force feared by all countries again. In the current steppe, the only force that can compete with the Xiongnu is the Tatar Houjin State, and it is still at an absolute disadvantage in the confrontation with the Xiongnu.

Although the weather was good today, the Khan's face was ugly and terrifying, which made all the princes and nobles present close their mouths in amusement, and if they said the wrong thing at this time, they would die ugly.

The Khan's bad mood stemmed from a series of war reports from the border, first thirty tribes were attacked by the Great Qi army, more than 5,000 people died, then the death of his cousin Duanmuye, and the most unacceptable thing was the defeat of Duanmu Ming and the capture of Duanmu Xiu. In just a few days, the Xiongnu can be said to have suffered the greatest humiliation in these decades. Although this humiliation came from the active provocation of the Huns, the khan could not accept this fact.

Of course, the Xiongnu Khan wanted to retaliate immediately, but now he had other concerns. The reason for the concern was that the Tatars, who were northeast of the Xiongnu, did not suffer from the shortage of food and grass after a harsh winter, as the Khan had expected.

On the contrary, I don't know where to get a large amount of food, and now the Tatars have gathered heavy troops on the border, ostensibly to defend against a possible sneak attack by the Huns, but in fact? If the main force of the Xiongnu was trapped in the Great Qi country, the Tatars would definitely and willingly copy the backyard of the Xiongnu, this is absolutely certain. Of course, the most headache for the khan is that Panlong Mountain, a passage that has been operating for many years, should not be destroyed, and if the Xiongnu want to send troops, they can only send troops all the way from Dingbian City. The terrain of the border city is dangerous, the city wall is strong, and the Hun soldiers who are not good at attacking the fortified positions want to take it quickly. It's really a difficult task to complete, so it's hard to say anything about revenge in the short term.

For Bai Qi, the first general who dared to go deep into the territory of the Xiongnu to counterattack Bai Qi in the past ten years, the Khan also analyzed. First, this guy is an absolutely audacious master. He dares when others don't dare, second. Bai Qi is a ruthless guy, it can be seen from Bai Qi's wanton massacre of civilians after entering the Huns, third, Bai Qi is a cunning guy. After getting the situation of the invasion of the Great Qi army, the khan once ordered several nearby tribes not to retreat, trying to lure Bai Qi to attack, but he didn't expect Bai Qi to run away after a bend. Wen 'heart' hand 'fighting' group 'hand' beating 'system' caused the Khan's several chasing soldiers to judge the wrong direction, this is actually the Khan's mistake, Bai Qi's route is all pre-designed, as for the bait left by the Khan, Bai Qi didn't know where they were at all, because Bai Qi only sent a probe horse in the direction of his own advance and on the back road. Fourth, Bai Qi has always been good at luring the enemy with soldiers, and then using favorable terrain to make up for the lack of soldiers' abilities, which can be seen from the two battles in which Bai Qi defeated Duanmuye and Duanmu, and Duanmuno even gave his life for his conceit.

To sum up, the existence of such a person as Bai Qi in the Great Qi State is definitely not a good thing for the Xiongnu. Since it is not yet time for a full-scale war, then it can only be made up for by other methods, so there is Zhang Chuliu's trip to Duliang for thousands of miles. Of course, that's not enough, you can't fight, it's always okay to scare it, right? The Khan's final choice was to send 20,000 cavalry, Chen soldiers outside the Dingbian City, in short, with the cooperation of Zhang Chu, if he didn't get some benefits from Daqi, the Khan was absolutely unwilling, of course, the damn Bai Qi also had to clean up, and what he didn't get on the battlefield would try to get it elsewhere. Today's Xiongnu Khans are not the same khans who only knew how to solve problems by force in the past.

Duliang City in spring, the morning air is fragrant and intoxicating. Before dawn, Bai Qi had already gotten up early, and he was going to court today. In fact, Bai Qi didn't sleep at all, yesterday's so-called handover ceremony lasted until the evening, and it was already dark when Bai Qi returned home. Fortunately, Xue Yiran had an order, Bai Qi could not face the king first, and Bai Qi could go home. Three long-absent women, one long-absent husband, said that the women also had to fill the shortfall these days. Fortunately, Bai Qi has been practicing the technique in the room left by Yunzi recently, and it seems that the effect is still good.

The sky was bright, and the three women struggled to get up and wait for Bai Qi to finish dressing, and Bai Qi got into the carriage and headed towards the palace, today's morning dynasty must be very lively.

Don't look at Bai Qi is a majestic general outside, back to the court, ranking seniors, Bai Qi can only stand in the last row, maybe it is the problem of being a thief in his previous life, Bai Qi is still consciously standing in the corner.

The first thing Xue Yiran did when she came up was naturally to find Bai Qi, but Bai Qi was the kind of master who didn't like to come out in the vast number of people, and the tired Xue Yiran's presbyopia couldn't find Bai Qi for a long time, so she had no choice but to lower her voice and ask the eunuch on duty: "Didn't the horse come to the court?" ”

The eunuch on duty standing on the side hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, the horse is here, and I saw the sign he handed me in the morning." ”

Xue Yiran sat up again and said, "Please come forward and speak immediately." ”

The eunuch also shouted, Bai Qi reluctantly stood up, and said respectfully: "I don't know what Your Majesty has to ask?" Bai Qi's tone was a little stiff, one was not very used to it, and the other was naturally that Bai Qi didn't want others to see that he didn't have a temper at all in the current situation, it would be too fake, and it was easy for others to think that his city was too deep, which was really not a good thing for a young man.

Of course, Xue Yiran heard the dissatisfaction deliberately revealed in Bai Qi's tone, Bai Qi was dissatisfied, and Xue Yiran's heart was lowered a lot. Although dissatisfied, the colt who is still very obedient is really better than those guys who are obviously unhappy and pretend to be happy. Of course, Xue Yiran will not think that Bai Qi is loyal just because of this trivial matter, he is not young, but the only prince has just been born, once he dies in the future, the most likely threat to the prince's position is naturally Bai Qi's concubine.

"The horse led the troops into battle this time and returned triumphantly. It is really a feat to raise the prestige of our country. Xue Yiran praised Bai Qi first, and then said again: "However, it seems a bit inappropriate to go deep into the Huns alone." "Give Bai Qi a first and then suppress it. Xue Yiran said to the Manchu Dynasty with a smile: "What do you think of Aiqing's move to the horse, everyone can talk about it." ”

As soon as Xue Yiran finished saying this, Bai Qi scolded in his heart, "This old bastard." Make it clear that let others orchestrate themselves, and then clean up after themselves. ”

Sure enough. Before Xue Yiran finished speaking, a minister had already stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to say." Bai Qi looked over, and the person who spoke was the imperial envoy Lu Hanzhang.

That's all Xue Yiran was waiting for. nodded happily and said, "Lu Aiqing, you can talk about it." ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the horse has set out on this expedition, although it has a slight military exploit. However, there are more inconsistencies. First, His Majesty once strictly ordered Bai Yunfan to control the army of Jiezhou, so that he could not cross the border for a single step.

The horse knows this order and does not obey it, which is a bully. Second, during the conquest of the Huns, he indulged his subordinates to plunder, and the corruption of his military discipline was rare. Third, the concubine should not take back the seventeenth princess of the Huns without authorization, this move aroused the indignation of Zhang Chuguo, and now Zhang Chuliu is waiting outside for thousands of miles to face the king. Although Lu Hanzhang said that Bai Qi was inappropriate, what he said was simply convicting Bai Qi, and any one of them was enough for Bai Qi.

Lu Hanzhang didn't seem to be enough to say it, and was about to continue, when someone on the side couldn't help but jump out to speak.

"Lu Hanzhang, you fuck you!" Listening to the wording and tone of this speech, there was only one person in the Manchu Dynasty who dared to speak in the court like this, and this person was Bai Qiwei. Bai Qiwei originally felt a little guilty about Bai Qi in his heart, and he had been looking for an opportunity to compensate, but now someone actually said that Bai Qi was like this, although it was very clear that it was Xue Yiran's meaning, but he couldn't care about Mingzhe's life, if Bai Qi's sin was confirmed, it was estimated that he would not be able to save his body.

"Your Majesty said that you were not allowed to leave the country, but you didn't give Lao Qi such an order, and Lao Qi can only be regarded as a crime of ignorance at best. Leading 5,000 lone troops deep into the Xiongnu, the most important thing is to keep their marching route secret, it is not good to kill those Xiongnu people, but this is also a helpless thing. Besides, the Huns have been harassing our border for a long time and killing countless of my people. The Huns sent the princess to Zhang Chu and bumped into Lao Qi, according to what I said, Lao Qi took the land beautifully, and the Huns colluded with Zhang Chu It was not a matter of a day or two, even if there was no such thing, sooner or later these two families would also wear a pair of pants. Lu Hanzhang, you use this matter to arrange Lao Qi, I suspect that you are the spy remnant of the Huns. ”

Bai Qiwei's serial rebuttal of Lu Hanzhang was speechless, in fact, he also spoke according to the meaning of the above, as for which side it was, everyone understood.

Lu Hanzhang was dumbfounded, of course someone was going to come out to speak, Xue Yiran hurriedly interjected: "General Bai, General Bai, don't be angry, everyone is just their own opinion, no one said that Bai Qi should be convicted." ”

Xue Yiran had just interrupted Bai Qiwei's words, and Ye Chaifeng immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen also thinks that the horse's move this time is very likely to cause my Great Qi to face a joint attack by the Huns and Zhang Chu, and if it is not properly handled, the consequences will be out of control." ”

"Humph! Properly handled? What do you say to do? Throw Bai Qi out of prison? Admit your mistake to the Huns for reparations? Ye Lao replied, I think you are planning to betray the country. Su Yuncheng couldn't sit still, now it is clear that Xue Yiran wants to make Bai Qi, if he, the old man, will help him speak, and if his daughter is not said in the future, he will have to be implicated, it is better to join forces with Bai Qiwei and help Bai Qi together, and Bai Qi will naturally not forget himself in the future.

With Bai Qiwei and Su Yuncheng standing up to help Bai Qi speak, the people of the two factions in the DPRK and China suddenly got the signal and stood up to help, and for a while, the ministers of the DPRK and China quarreled again.

Looking at the somewhat chaotic situation in the court, Xue Yiran's face became more and more ugly. Bai Qi didn't expect that things would evolve like this, and now it can be said that he is secretly complaining. According to Bai Qi's thoughts, Xue Yiran suspected that she was just in the bud now. This time I suppressed myself and I was just taking a vaccination, and my treatment of myself should also be raised high and gently put down. As a result, as soon as Bai Qiwei and Su Yuncheng joined forces and made a fuss in the court, how would Xue Yiran see herself, isn't this forcing herself to go against Xue Yiran?

Of course, Bai Qi can't let this situation happen, and in the current situation, his own forces are not enough to gain a foothold. You must not stand on the opposite side of Xue Yiran.

Bai Qi stood in front and shouted loudly: "Everyone is quiet, and listen to Bai Qi's words." Everyone was quiet, waiting to see Bai Qi's statement. Even Xue Yiran was a little nervous, after all, the forces of the Bai family and the Su family were there, if Bai Qi really made trouble, he really had nothing to do with Bai Qi.

Bai Qi first saluted Xue Yiran. Then he said to everyone: "Bai Qi has caused trouble to everyone, this is all Bai Qi's sin." Now Bai Qi thinks. The best way is for Bai Qi to invite himself home to relax, and it also saves everyone from quarrelling. ”

Bai Qi's words were mainly said to Xue Yiran, which meant that although Bai Qi was very dissatisfied, he didn't want Xue Yiran to be embarrassed. I don't want to see the Su family and the Bai family fight against Xue Yiran together.

Although Bai Qi's words made Bai Qiwei and Su Yuncheng slightly dissatisfied, they could only give up.

Of course, Xue Yiran wanted to grab the next step handed over by Bai Qi, and hurriedly said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the results of this expedition. It is really a feat to raise the prestige of our country, strengthen my morale, and my public opinion. That's absolutely for sure. However, considering the current situation, our Daqi has not yet made sufficient preparations for war, so I still have to be wronged by the horse, and the feat of the horse must be dealt with in a low-key manner. As for the horse's departure, I don't think about it, but it's still good to take a break at home for a while. I think it's settled, the colt will have a month off, and then make another arrangement. ”

A crisis was temporarily resolved in Bai Qi's initiative to show goodwill, and this ending is acceptable to everyone, and it can even be said to be a win-win. In Bai Qiwei and Su Yuncheng's opinion, they successfully kept Bai Qi, and in Xue Yiran's opinion, not to mention avoiding a confrontational crisis, they also won time, and after a month, Bai Qi didn't know what Bai Qi was doing, in short, Bai Qi was no threat for the time being. For Bai Qi, successfully getting himself off the cusp safely, this is victory, Bai Qi needs time now, there are too many things waiting for Bai Qi to digest, as for the military power, Bai Qi can be confident, all those soldiers who followed him back from the Hun campaign, he has sown the seeds of worship and trust in their hearts.

After the internal matter was resolved, a eunuch ran in outside at the right time and said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Chuliu has been arguing outside to see Your Majesty, how to deal with it, please ask Your Majesty to show me." ”

The place where it should come always has to come, and after Xue Yiran agreed, the eunuch Xuanliu came up thousands of miles.

Liu Qianli is still the style of a celebrity, dressed appropriately, first saluted Xue Yiran and then bowed to the ministers, he couldn't find fault with the etiquette, and he always had a smile on his face, but the smile on his face disappeared when he saw Bai Qi, and was replaced by a solemn expression.

"It turned out to be Bai Gongzi, Yuzhou is goodbye, it has always been good?" Of course, there is a reason why the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are only so polite to Bai Qi.

"TOEFL, Mr. Liu has always been good?" Of course, Bai Qi couldn't be rude, and responded very politely.

"Isn't Bai Gongzi the concubine of Hou Wei? How did you come to Daqi to be an official? Of course, this time he knowingly asked with ulterior motives, Liu Qianli had already checked out the eighteenth generation of Bai Qi's ancestors through various channels before, and now he said this, naturally he wanted Bai Qi to be in a special position, and it could be regarded as the beginning of a provocation. Last time in Yuzhou, I didn't get a bargain in front of Bai Qi, and then I was conspired by Bai Qi, although I can't be sure that Bai Qi is playing ghosts, but now Bai Qi and Xu Yuyan are very close, Bai Qi will inevitably be involved, right?

When Bai Qi heard this, he secretly said in his heart: Boy, I just made you impotent last time, and next time I have the opportunity to directly make you a eunuch. Of course, Bai Qi's vicious thoughts couldn't be put on his face, and he said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Liu was unfortunately infected in Houwei last time, so you have to be careful this time." Of course, Bai Qi unceremoniously sneered at each other, and as soon as he said it, it was Liu Qianli's sore spot.

Sure enough, Liu Qianli heard Bai Qi's words, and his face suddenly became ugly, last time Bai Qi's black hand made him lie on the bed for a month, and then he was not there for half a year, if it wasn't for the lord of the country to ask his teacher to help, he didn't know when he would recover.

Liu Qianli was angry, but it was not easy to attack here, so he could only laugh dryly: "Thank you Bai Gongzi for your concern, I will say hello to the lord of the country next time Gongzi returns to the post-Wei era." Liu Qianli deliberately pulled Bai Qi back to Wei, meaning that he wanted Xue Yiran to listen to it and have thoughts in his heart.

How Bai Qi didn't know what he was thinking, he also replied with a smile: "Mr. Liu, you seem to be mistaken, Bai Qi has always been a citizen of my Great Qi from beginning to end, when did he become a courtier of Later Wei?" ”

Liu Qianli was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to fight back against Bai Qi for a while. After arguing with Bai Qi, Liu Qianli shifted the target, and said respectfully towards Xue Yiran: "The foreign minister has traveled a long way to Daqi this time, and he still has the blessing of Bai Gongzi, and I hope that the lord of the country can give an explanation for this matter, so as not to cause bad relations between the two countries." ”

Of course Xue Yiran knows what Liu Qianli said, but she still has to pretend to be confused first, this is a trick that people who play politics are good at using.

"This, Lord Liu, what are you referring to? Please explain. "If you want to say that Xue Yiran made a fuss about Bai Qi's arrest of Duanmu embroidery, it was because she was afraid of Bai Qi and the forces behind him.

If Liu Qianli came to ask for someone, it would be a completely different matter. The person is in Daqi, after Bai Qi came back, he handed over Duanmu embroidery to Liu Mingyu, and now he is under house arrest in the harem to eat and drink well, Zhang Chu wants to take people back, how can Xue Yiran be willing to give up if he doesn't let go of some blood.

Liu Qianli saw that Xue Yiran was pretending to be confused, so he was naturally angry, but he couldn't do anything to Xue Yiran, so he could only say angrily: "Since the lord of our country ascended the throne, Zhang Chu's national strength has become more and more prosperous, and his prestige has been promoted in Huihai, and now the Huns want to send the seventeenth princess to our country and relatives, who expected that it was this white prince who led the troops to rob him halfway, where would this put the face of our lord?" The dispute between Daqi and the Xiongnu, I Zhang Chu has always maintained neutrality, if this matter can not be satisfactorily resolved, our country will not be willing to rest, now I Zhang Chu 100,000 troops are waiting for the day, always ready to snow the shame of our lord. ”

All of a sudden, the issue escalated to the threat of force, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more tense. In fact, Liu Qianli is just scaring people, at most 20,000 border guards are pretending to be on the border, and he is 100,000 when he opens his mouth, this is nothing more than to express an attitude, the army is assembled, from the preparation of grain and grass to the arrival of troops, it is not a matter of one or two days.

"And this? How did I not know? Do any of you know this? Xue Yiran simply came to the tooth and didn't admit it, the people were robbed by the Huns, and the Great Qi army didn't kill Zhang Chu to rob people. Xue Yiran said and asked about the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, but everyone replied as if they had discussed: "The ministers don't know." ”

This made Liu Qianli stupid, and pointed at Bai Qi with a sneer: "Bai Gongzi, that is, the master of the horse is in the court, why don't the lord of the country ask him?" ”

Xue Yiran asked Bai Qi in a strange way when she heard this: "Donkey, is there such a thing?" Don't you make a mistake by Lord Liu, right? ”

Bai Qi is such a smart person, and he also replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, Weichen went to the Huns, and there are countless horses, property, and beauties, and I don't know if there is any seventeen princesses in it, and I ask Your Majesty to give me some time to investigate, and when I find out that there is a princess in it, of course I have to return it to Lord Liu." ”

Xue Yiran immediately nodded when she heard this: "The trouble is big, so I will work hard and find it carefully." Then Xue Yiran turned back to Liu Qianli and said: "Lord Liu, you have also seen it, we really don't know if there is a princess among the robbed Hun women, I think you should wait a few days first, and when we find out, we will naturally give you an explanation." ”

Xue Yiran didn't take Liu Qianli's threat to heart at all, as early as when she learned that Bai Qi had penetrated deep into the Xiongnu, because she was worried about the Xiongnu retaliation, Xue Yiran had already increased tens of thousands of troops to Jiezhou, and she was already ahead in the preparation of force. Knowing that Bai Qi got the Xiongnu princess who was close to her, Xue Yiran's first reaction was to send someone to Hou Wei and Northern Qin to propose the alliance, and it is estimated that the two envoys are now on their way.
