At half past four in the morning, Li Su was awakened by a wolf howl, and he shouted, "Get up quickly, let's go." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Du He rubbed his eyes and said, "Brother Su, I'm sleepy, can I sleep a little longer?" ”

Li Su was restless in his heart, and said: "Third brother, no, hurry up, solve the problem, and when the time comes, let you sleep for three days and three nights." ”

Yang Kang heard the prince's order and shouted loudly: "Hurry up, pack up your equipment, and set off." ”

Cheng Chumo pulled up Yu Chi Baoqi, who was sleeping on him, turned over on his horse without a sound, and went to the front to open the way.

These days, they are in a hurry, and the officers and men are not sleeping enough. However, Li Sugui, the king of Liang, is the prince, and he can do it, so everyone naturally has nothing to say, so they have to run wildly.

The sky was getting brighter, and the fish belly was white in the distance.

In front of Cheng Chumo found that there seemed to be a piece of fish belly white under those fish belly white, he carefully identified it, and after confirming it, he shouted loudly in surprise: "Your Highness, there is the Trouble River in front, and the royal court is almost here."

When everyone heard this, their spirits were greatly lifted, and they became more and more fast.

Soon they came to the river of tribulation, and galloped along the river towards the royal court of the Tiele tribe.

Finally, they saw a few yurts, and were about to ask questions, but the herdsmen of the Tiele tribe were very alarmed, they shouted, and came out with knives and guns.

When Cheng Chumo and the others saw it, they hurriedly showed their knives and guns, ready to fight.

Li Su hurriedly shouted: "Don't do it." “

He ordered Cheng Chumo and the others to step back, dismount alone, and stepped forward to ask, "Brother, what's going on here?" ”

When the herdsmen saw that there seemed to be no hostility towards them, they asked, "Who are you?" ”

"I am Li Su, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, a friend of your khan, I heard that she was in trouble, and I came to help her."

The affairs of the royal family have always been a hot topic of gossip among people, and the same is true on the grassland. The story of the Khan of the Dark Cloud and the Prince of the Tang Dynasty is also talked about, and these herdsmen have also heard about it.

They also didn't want to fight, and fighting was just a disaster for these ordinary herdsmen, so they briefly discussed it, and an elderly herdsman led by them said: "Your Highness, something big has happened in the royal court. ”

Then he recounted what had happened.

When Li Su heard this, he was shocked, and he said: "Take me quickly, you must hurry up to stop the conflict." ”

A sturdy herdsman said, "I'll take you there." ”

The group immediately began to run wildly.

The Tang army's camp was a temporary camp enclosed by a wooden fence, and the officers and soldiers reinforced it with horse-drawn carriages behind the fence, bending their bows and arrows, to guard against the attack of the Tiele Army.

Outside, there were already a lot of troops from the Tiele tribe gathered, and the number was increasing.

At this time, the sky was just dawning.

The officers and men of the Tang Dynasty had already received orders not to move against each other. The same order was given to the officers and men of the Tiele Division. Both sides exercised restraint and waited for someone from the imperial court or the Yinshan Metropolitan Protectorate to mediate.

Suddenly, seven or eight arrows were shot from the ranks of the Tiele Division, and the Tang army behind the fence was an ordinary soldier who did not have expensive Mingguang armor on his body, and he was shot dead on the spot and three wounded.

It turned out that these arrows were shot by the people who were detainees, and they blended into the ranks of the Tiele Department, taking advantage of the fact that it was still early and their vision was not clear, and they took the opportunity to provoke trouble.

As soon as the officers and men saw that the other side had moved, they immediately began to return fire. The people of the Tiele Department also began to suffer. At this point, it is no longer clear who made the first move, and the situation is out of control. The rain of arrows on both sides flew towards each other, and the war began.

At this time, Su Dingfang's subordinates had less than 6,000 men and horses, and the Tiele army outside was not less than tens of thousands.

For the expansion of the situation, Qibi Wuyun also felt helpless. Although she ordered to exercise restraint, many of the elders under her command already had opinions about the internal relocation of herdsmen and were worried that their power and status would be affected, and now that such a thing has happened, their hearts are full of distrust of Datang.

Qibi Wuyun discussed with the Great Elder Qibi Zhangjun, Zuo Prime Minister Zhendenan and others, and they all thought that they could not start a war with Datang, and if they offended Datang, the Tiele Department would face a catastrophe.

Therefore, they persuaded the elders of the tribe and decided to send someone to negotiate, asking the Tang army to leave the royal court of the Tiele tribe for the time being, and wait for the court to send someone to negotiate the conditions.

Qibi Wuyun and others came to the opposite side of the Tang army camp. The Great Elder Qi Bi Zhangjun ordered to stop firing arrows. Su Dingfang, who was in the camp of the Tang Army, saw that the other party had stopped archery, and also ordered to stop archery.

At this time, a messenger came out of the camp of Tielebu, and he came to the front of the battle and shouted: "Listen to the other side, please don't release arrows." My Khan will send men to negotiate with you. ”

Su Dingfang saw that things had taken a turn for the better, and immediately sent someone out to agree to their request.

Soon, the Tiele minister, Hurle the Elder, rode his horse towards the middle of the formation. Su Dingfang also personally rode his horse to the middle of the formation.

When Huerle saw Su Dingfang, he stroked his chest with one hand and said, "Manager Su." ”

Su Dingfang clenched his fists and said, "Elder Hu." ”

Huerle said: "My Khan is unwilling to be an enemy of the Tang Dynasty, but the current situation is complicated, in order to avoid further deterioration of the situation, my Khan suggested that the Tang army temporarily leave the royal court, wait for the court to send someone to solve it, and then consider the future arrangements." What do you think? ”

Su Dingfang also wanted to leave this tiger's den and wolf's den, he said: "I agree, this is the only way at present, please get out of the way, I will evacuate with the troops immediately." ”

At this time, both of them breathed a sigh of relief. So, after each of them bowed, they looked at the main formation and walked away.

At this moment, from the camp of the Tiele Department, a cold arrow was shot, Su Dingfang was defenseless, and an arrow hit his right shoulder, this arrow was extremely powerful, piercing through the leather armor at the junction of his Mingguang armor and piercing his shoulder blade.

Su Dingfang knew that he had been plotted, he was experienced, lying on the back of the horse, kicking the horse's belly with both feet, and quickly ran towards the camp.

At the same time, an arrow shot from the camp of the Tang army to the back of the heart of Huerle, who was not wearing armor, raised his hands and fell off his horse.

The first arrow was fired by Sticky's men. The second arrow was shot by Zhao Meng, the commander of the Imperial Palace.

It turned out that the situation had expanded to such a point, and Zhao Meng knew that in order to give an explanation to the Tiele Ministry, the imperial court would definitely hold the relevant officials accountable. The cause of this incident was caused by his mishandling. He does not want to be punished, so he wants to muddy the waters, and as long as the two sides enter a state of war, naturally no one will hold him accountable. So, he sent people to shoot arrows at Hurla, deliberately provoking a dispute.

The sudden change surprised everyone.

War is inevitable.
