Chapter 18 Seven Wolf's Lair

Dragon City, located at the foot of Yanran Mountain, was once the northernmost city in the territory of the Silk Country, and has been abandoned since the rise of Tuqi. As a nomadic people, Tuqi has always had no fixed residence, as long as it is the royal tent of the Great Khan, it is where the capital is located. Therefore, the Dragon City has long been dilapidated after hundreds of years of wind and rain erosion, and no one would have thought that it could become the royal city of the East Turkistan Treaty State now.

The new royal palace in the city is only beginning to take shape. On the one hand, this is because the Turks did not know how to build such buildings at all, and could only rely on captured slaves to build them, and the architectural styles of different countries are different, and the slaves of various countries cannot unify their styles, and on the other hand, because there are no building materials for the construction of palaces in the vast grasslands, and the so-called new palace is just a usable building material collected from the ruins of the Dragon City. Having said that, no matter how humble it is, this is the first palace of Tuqi.

In the middle of the main hall of the palace sat the new Great Khan of Tuki, Abichlil. This is a majestic man Chinese New Year's Eve seven years old. Eight feet tall, he has an extremely majestic physique, and his rough facial structure reveals a fierceness that is difficult to look at. Since the age of twenty, he has been one of the best warriors in the country, combining the strength of a tiger with the dexterity of an ape. After his outstanding performance in the wars of the Turki conquests, which earned him the title of the Red Wolf, and after gaining the status of a general for his military exploits, he won the favor of the Great Khan of Turkhi, Immidi, and betrothed his princess to him, so that Abichir became the Zuoxian King of Turch at the age of less than thirty.

Immidi did not heed his advice to conquer Paz, and died in the battle of Paz, Bataan Khan succeeded to the throne and was murdered by his uncle Ambalturi, Abicheril was angry and raised troops to avenge the Great Khan, and defeated Anbalturi in the Battle of the Moon Sea, thus establishing his position as the Great Khan - originally the Turghe requirement for the Great Khan was a warrior who could fairly distribute the spoils of war to his subordinates, and Abicheril's reputation had already spread throughout the Turghe country, and he himself was also a righteous and generous man, Therefore, it can be said that he became the Great Khan. After the First Battle of the Moon Sea, a large number of wavering tribes have taken refuge under his command, and Abicheril has taken all of them as they are, thus greatly strengthening his own strength. Although his people are not as large as Anbalturi, he has established control over the entire Mongolian plateau and has begun to expand into the Jinshan area.

The main reason why he chose to set the capital in Longcheng was because Longcheng was in the middle of the country, and having such a fixed capital was conducive to uniting and ruling his subordinates; What's more, Dragon City crosses the desert to the south and is the rich Silk Country. The only political difference between him and the former Great Khan Imidi was his attitude towards the Silk Country, which Abicheril believed should not be taken from it for a small amount of goods due to its wealth, and that if they were not willing to expand the trade limit, they should be forced to pay for the treasures with scimitars and bows and arrows. He had been preparing for this for five years, but unfortunately he died unexpectedly before he could put it into practice. Although the current enemy is Anbalturi, Abicil is still unwilling to give up the fat of the Silk Country.

For this reason, he sent a special envoy to the land of silk to demand the resumption of trade. Of course, his greater purpose is to spy on the inside of the Silk Country, so he sends his best friend Badr to the Silk Country.

At this moment, Badr was kneeling in front of him and told him in detail about his trip to the Silk Country.

Abicialir played with the dagger in his hand and quietly heard him finish, and said lightly: "So, the Silk Country has already agreed to the request for trade?" ”

Badr replied, "Yes, Great Khan. But they also agreed to trade with Anbalturi. ”

"Do they claim that they don't want to see us kill each other, so they trade on both sides, hoping that we won't meet with the Anbalturi sword?"

"Exactly, you know before I even said so. Great Khan, you are a prophet of the unknown. Badr looked surprised.

Abiciel smiled. Badr was a warrior in the true sense of the word, but he was too simple, and that was why he sent his envoys - his simplicity could paralyze the kings of the Silk Country. But how would Badr know that his minions were carefully selected by himself? At the moment, he smiled slightly and said: "Badr, you don't understand the truth of this, the people of the Silk Country have always been insidious and cunning, what they say is not as straightforward as ours, they actually want us to fight to the death with Anbalturi, they can sit and reap the profits, so the two sides are traded, and the strength of both sides is adjusted through commerce and trade, so that we can fight in the long run." Of course, this kind of purpose cannot be stated, which is why I say this to you. ”

"What! They turned out to be so despicable! When Badr heard this, he was furious.

"And that's not all. Didn't you notice Badr? Their trade increased the trading price of horses while lowering the price of cow furs. This is done in order to obtain more horses from our country, which means that they are starting to organize a larger cavalry to compete with us in the near future. ”

Badr jumped up from the ground and said angrily: "It's so hateful! They used this tactic against us! Great Khan, we can't wait until that time, let's start a war with them now, use our scimitars and horses to teach them a good lesson, and let them know that Tuqi is not easy to mess with! ”

Abiciel smiled and waved his hand, "Badr, my friend, you are the bravest eagle in the steppe, but it is a pity that you are too hasty. Our biggest enemy now is still Anbalturi, and we don't have more strength to deal with the Silk Country. The plan for now is to defeat Anbalturi as soon as possible, and then turn around and deal with the Silk Country. ”

Badr said hatefully, "But they are so hateful that it is hard to dispel the hatred in my heart without teaching them a lesson." ”

Abicheril smiled: "Don't worry, the Silk Country is now at war with Goryeo, as long as Goryeo can drag the Silk Country into the quagmire of war and consume the national strength of the Silk Country, then after we get rid of Anbalturi, we still have time to deal with them." ”

"Goryeo and the Silk Country go to war? How did you know about Great Khan? ”

"It's very simple, just the day before yesterday, I just received a secret envoy sent by Goryeo, and they asked to join forces with us to deal with the Silk Country. This messenger was able to break through the blockade of the Silk Country and come to me, and he would not have the leisure to return empty-handed. I'll let them dry for a while, get him to agree to enough conditions, and then I'll agree to this alliance. Let Goryeo and the Silk Country slowly entangle. If Goryeo is destroyed, it will at least be able to drag down the Silk Country. And we'll use this time to eliminate Anbaltouri. ”

Badr was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "The Great Khan is clever, I'm just worried about whether the power of Goryeo can drag down the Silk Kingdom. ”

Abicialir laughed and said, "Badr, you have grown, you have already taken this level into account." Don't worry, we need to deal with Anbalturi first, but we can't just let the country of silk leave him alone, let him fight with Goryeo with peace of mind, let's find something for them to do, that is, to help our Goryeo allies. ”
