Baidaozhou was originally a state city under the rule of the Northern Qi Dynasty when the country was founded, and was invaded by the Turks in the Northern Qi Dynasty. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although the brave Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Yong, defeated the strong with the weak and defeated the powerful opponent Northern Qi, he was unable to recapture this important town outside the pass from the Turks.

When Yang Guang and his entourage arrived outside the south gate of Baidaozhou under the support of the "five hundred horsemen of wolf teeth", it was past noon, the suspension bridge outside the south city gate was high, and the moat was almost dry. ”

Signing up for a meeting is a kind of etiquette from bottom to top. Chu Luo Yu did not know that he came to meet with him at the invitation of Yongyu Lu, and still ordered the sergeant guarding the city gate to sign up before entering the city, which was obviously to give himself a dismount. Yang Guangyan's face changed sharply when he heard this, and he was about to call the Turkic general Zuo who had led the team to question him face to face, but Li Che beside him had already raised his head and shouted towards the city tower: "Where is Prince Yongyu Lu?" Since you know why the king of Jin of my family arrived outside the city, why didn't he go out of the city to greet him, is this how the Turks are hospitable? ”

The people on the city tower were silent for a moment, and then asked, "Which one is His Royal Highness the King of Jin from the Sui Kingdom?" The tone had obviously become much more polite.

"You go and tell him, if Prince Yongyu Lu refuses to go out of the city to welcome the King of Jin into the city, we will turn around and leave now." Li Che turned his head and commanded the Turkic general Zuo who was leading the team.

The Turkic general Zuo who led the team listened to Li Che's extremely tough attitude, and there was no room for negotiation, so he had to break his head and go out of the queue and loudly convey Li Che's meaning to the city tower in Turkic dialect.

"All the soldiers of the hussar battalion, listen to my orders, the rear team will change to the front team, and return to Yanmen Pass immediately." Li Che did not leave time for the Turks on the tower to bargain, and immediately ordered his sergeants.

Seeing that Li Che was really moving, the people on the city tower immediately panicked, and asked Li Che through the Han interpreter who came with Yang Guang and others: "Please wait for a while, His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and I will summon the prince and open the city gate to welcome His Royal Highness the King of Jin into the city." ”

When Yongyu Lu got the report and personally led the Turkic civil and military officials in Baidaozhou City to welcome him out of the city, the sun was already in the west.

Yongyu Lu walked in front of Yang Guang's horse with a smile on his face, stopped, and said to Yang Guang with his fists: "Some time ago, His Royal Highness the King of Mengjin released my brother, Yongyu Lu was very grateful, prepared a little wine, and invited His Royal Highness to come to Baidaozhou for a gathering, not only to express his gratitude, but also to use this move to declare to the Great Sui Imperial Court that my Turks have no intention of being enemies of the Sui State. Please come with me into the city, Your Highness." ”

When Yongyu Lu led people out of the city gate, Yang Guang wanted to turn over and dismount out of politeness, and stood in place to wait for Yongyu Lu to arrive, but was stopped by Li Che.

"Lord Wang, the most important etiquette for the two countries to intersect, I watched all kinds of things Yongyu Lu did, and obviously had bad intentions towards the prince. The prince might as well wait for a moment to show the majesty of my court. ”

Yang Guang was the first envoy to a foreign country, and he was not familiar with the various rules and doorways between the two countries, and after listening to Li Che's words, he felt reasonable, so he sat firmly on the back of the "Iron Hoof Dragon" horse, waited for Yongyu Lu to come to the horse, and invited himself to enter the city with him, only to turn over and get off the horse under the service of Xian Yuluo, and returned the salute with a fist at him: "Accept the prince's good intentions, how can Guang miss the appointment?" Prince, please. ”

Yongyu Lu glanced at the "five hundred horsemen with wolf teeth" behind Yang Guang, and the five hundred iron horsemen were neatly arranged into two columns, and entered the city before Yang Guang and his party, acting as a guard of honor, and galloped into the city gate majestically.

Yong Yulu laughed and stepped forward to take one of Yang Guang's arms, walked side by side with him, walked towards the city of Bai Daozhou, and asked him: "There is still an old man of the prince in the city waiting to meet you, can the prince guess who she is?" ”

Yang Guang shook his head in confusion: In the Turkic country, the only people who can barely be called their old friends are the father and son, especially the senior brother. But if Dye Gan was in Baidaozhou City at this time, according to his age and status, he would never be above his cousin, and only stayed in the city and waited for his arrival.

"When I get to my uncle's tent later, the prince will know when he sees it." Yong Yulu saw that Yang Guang couldn't guess who that person was, and he intended to sell Guanzi, so he was not in a hurry to tell the name and identity of that person, and only took Yang Guang's arm and strode towards the Tuli Khan's tooth tent set up in the center of the city.

The Turks have no fixed place to live, and are accustomed to living in tents, even in the city of Baidaozhou, where there are many houses, a tooth tent that can accommodate nearly 100 people is still set up in the center of the city, which is used by the Turki Khan who stayed here and the next group of civil and military meetings to discuss political affairs.

Yang Guang and Yong Yulu walked side by side to the mouth of the tent, but they were stopped by two Turkic soldiers standing with knives in front of the tent.

Seeing this, Yong Yulu scolded the two Turkic soldiers with a calm face: "The guests of His Royal Highness the King of Jin who came from afar are rude. Then he turned his head and said to Yang Guang with a smile: "The rules of our Turks, whenever outsiders ask to see the Khan, they need to be cleared and put into the account, and at most they can only be followed by two people, Lord Wang, you see? ”

"Since you have arrived at the Turkic realm, you naturally have to act according to your rules, Yujuluo, follow me to accompany the prince into the account." Li Che, who followed closely behind Yang Guang, did not wait for Yang Guang to speak, stepped forward, took the initiative to untie the saber at his waist, and handed it to the two Turkic soldiers guarding the tent.

Yang Guang came, except for the short knife of the Western Regions that Duan Da gave him, he did not have any other weapons on his body, in order to avoid complications, he also took out the short knife from his arms and wanted to hand it over to the Turkic soldiers.

How did he know that Yong Yulu, who was accompanying him, couldn't help but say "Huh" when he saw the short knife at first glance, reached out and took the short knife from Yang Guang's hand, and put it in his palm to weigh it repeatedly. After moving for a while, he raised his head and asked Yang Guangdao: "Where did you get this 'Yinyue' scimitar prince?" ”

Yang Guang couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Yongyu Lu calling this short knife to be "Yinyue", turned around and pointed at Duan Da not far behind him, and replied: "This knife was originally a gift from this Duan Da general. ”

Duan Da approached, Chong Yongyu Lu clasped his fists and replied: "This short knife is actually captured by the last general on the battlefield in Western Xinjiang, does the prince know this knife?" ”

There was an interpreter next to him who relayed Duan Da's words to Yong Yulu truthfully. Yongyu Lu stared at Duan Da with his eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "This knife was originally one of the two divine weapons cast by the Turkic ancestors in Daye Mountain, who did you get it from, come and tell me the truth?" ”

Duan Da listened to Yong Yu Lu's words and asked so politely, his face turned pale, and he did not answer his inquiry directly, glanced at Yang Guang, and asked Yong Yu Lu rhetorically: "Since the prince said that this knife was originally forged by the Turks, what evidence did he have?" ”

While the two were talking, a group of Han slaves walked out of the tent, and they were trying to avoid the people at the tent. Yongyu Lu learned from the interpreter that Duan Da was suspicious of himself, so he didn't speak, the thumb of his right hand pressed the handle of the knife, and with a little force, Yang Guang only felt that the cold light flashed in front of him, and a scimitar glowing with blue light was already out of the sheath.

The Han slave didn't have time to say a word, and fell to the ground with his body forward, motionless, and was already dead.

Yongyu Lu put the knife into the sheath, squinted at Duan Da, and then replied to him: "Decades ago, there was also a 'Xiaoyue' treasure knife cast in the same furnace as this 'Yinyue', because the two treasure knives were cast on the night of the full moon, so there is a moon in the name of the knife. The two treasure knives are one long and one short, but they have one thing in common: as long as the knife is unsheathed, it must be licked to return the sheath, otherwise it will be unfavorable to the owner. The 'Howling Moon' knife has always been used by the great Turkic Khans of our dynasties, but the 'Yinyue' was presented as a tribute to the Rouran Khan at that time not long after it was cast......"

Yang Guang watched Yong Yulu kill the Han slaves like chopping melons and vegetables, but he explained to Duan Da the origin of the "Yinyue" scimitar as if nothing happened, Rao was that he had slashed and killed people with his own hands, and he couldn't help but feel cold air rising from his back spine, and he felt a chill.

Perhaps it was the movement at the tent that alarmed the people in the tent, Yongyu Lu was only halfway through his words, and he heard someone in the tent ask: "But Ah Zong has arrived outside the tent?" ”
