Although Yuwen Qianjin is only a woman, as a member of the royal family, she is used to seeing political struggles, and she has been exposed to it since she was a child, and her insight and wisdom are obviously far beyond ordinary people.

It's just that even if she understands that she has become a victim of the development of the country and the consolidation of power by Yuwenyun, for the prosperity of the family and the lives of her relatives, even if she is unwilling in every way, she can only succumb to the power of fate, but she is never willing to be manipulated and fooled by Yang Jian at will.

Whether it is for the Northern Zhou or Yang Jian, her Yuwen Qianjin is their weight to balance the Turks and lure happiness, especially for Yang Jian. Without Yuwen Qianjin, Happy would definitely not enter the grassland lightly for the so-called face, and take risks alone, if there is no Yuwen Qianjin, it would be difficult for Yang Jian to force Xingxing to fall into passivity.

Yuwen Qianjin knew Yang Jian's intentions, and the latter was obviously not unaware of what Yuwen Qianjin was thinking. Although Yuwen Qianjin was resentful in her heart, she was powerless to resist, and Yang Jian naturally turned a deaf ear to Yuwen Qianjin's cynicism.

For the happy, the person who almost became her husband, Yuwen Qianjin had curiosity, anger, resentment, and a trace of expectation.

A girl of Shaohua's age is the age of Huaichun, how can Yuwen's daughter not have many fantasies?

Although she hadn't really seen a happy appearance, she also knew from others that he was a handsome and dashing young man with outstanding martial arts, especially in Jinyang City, where he was alone against the 100,000 army of the Zhou State, and he was majestic, and I don't know how many girls fell in love with him.

No matter whether he was resentful or hateful in his heart, and no matter what his purpose was, but hearing the news that he had gone deep into the grassland, Yuwen Qianjin's dead and cold heart couldn't help but feel a little warmer. The thought of seeing the world-famous young man soon, Yuwen's daughter's heart was pounding, and under the flickering candlelight, her cold pretty face couldn't help but flush with a faint flush, and I don't know if it was because of the light or because of the shyness in her heart.

……

In the huge cowhide tent, the lights are bright. There were only three people in the tent, and except for Yang Jian and Ashina Kuhezhen, only Lakshen was waiting on the side, making this large tent that could accommodate twenty or thirty people seem extremely empty and quiet. Ashina Ku sat opposite each other, each frowning and bowing their heads in contemplation, the flickering firelight made the already gloomy faces of the two flicker, making the atmosphere in the tent particularly depressing and solemn.

I don't know how long it took, Ashina Kuhezhen, who was bowing his head and contemplating, suddenly raised his head and asked in a low voice: "General Yang, in your opinion, how many people are happy to sneak into the grassland this time?" ”

Yang Jian let out a long sigh, his expression was slightly tidy, and then he frowned and whispered in an uncertain tone: "That night, Happy attacked the camp a total of twelve times, according to the calculation of three hundred people each time, there were three thousand six hundred, and in the past three days, more than ten tribes within a radius of hundreds of miles have been attacked, from the perspective of time, although it seems that the same group of people are running continuously, but in my opinion, this is a happy trick, deliberately done to confuse us. According to such a rough calculation, there were nearly 5,000 Qi cavalry who sneaked into the grassland with Xing Xing this time. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Jian paused slightly, with a solemn expression, and said word by word: "Or, more!" ”

Hearing this, Ashina Kuhezhen's face couldn't help but become extremely ugly.

In terms of numbers, even if there were ten times more happy people, they would not be able to raise much wind in front of the Turkic millions of iron horsemen, but the fact is that the five thousand happy people were like a sharp nail, and the pain caused by them was far beyond the ability of the Turks to bear.

In the course of three days, Ashina Kuhezhen and his party were never attacked by happy again, but almost all the tribes in a radius of hundreds of miles, especially on the road that Ashina Kuhezhen and his party had to pass through, were destroyed by horse bandits. But in all the places frequented by horse bandits, almost none of the men who could fight on horseback survived, and all the food in the tribe was burned, and all the horses except those that were stolen were all brutally poisoned, and they could never go to the battlefield again in this life.

These black-clothed horse bandits are known as the king of the steppe wolf, and in just three days, they have set off countless bloody storms and rains on the grassland, and their reputation has become famous, making this radius of hundreds of miles loud and angry.

Although Ashnaku Hezhen was convinced that the bandits were blatantly wearing the clothes of the Zhou generals in order to provoke relations between the Turks and the Zhou state, and they were happy people in disguise, it was inevitable that the ordinary people still had strong hostility towards the black-clothed Zhou people.

In private, Ashina Kuhezhen couldn't help but have some grievances against Zhou Guo. He is not a stupid person, since he has heard the news that Yuwen Qianjin had promised to be happy with happiness, and he also understands that happy sneaking into the grassland Yuwen Qianjin is just an inducement, but when he thinks of his compatriots who died tragically for happiness, and thinking of happy and tireless sneak attack, a sense of dissatisfaction gradually rose in Ashina Kuhe's heart.

The reason why the Turkic iron horses can gallop across the steppe is because the Turks are long on horseback, rough and aggressive, and almost all the people are soldiers, and because the steppe war horses are tall and strong, not only fast, but also quite good in endurance.

However, it is a real and vicious plan to slaughter the Turkic men and destroy their war horses and food.

The steppe is vast, and the Turks are scattered around in tribal groups, unlike the people of the Central Plains, who live in cities, and if they are allowed to encroach on them so unscrupulously, the Turks will be hit by unimaginable blows.

"General Yang, I wonder if you have a strategy to deal with the enemy?" After a while, Ashina Kuhezhen looked at Yang Jian with burning eyes and asked in a deep voice.

Yang Jian frowned, and said slowly: "Seventh Prince, for the sake of today's plan, we can only ask for the consent of his bowl Khan, and gather superior forces to encircle and suppress the happy dog thief, otherwise if the happy dog thief is allowed to continue to act in vain, not to mention that more Turkic warriors will die unexpectedly, it will be very bad for your country's face!" ”

Ashina Kuhezhen frowned, and his tone was slightly cold: "General Yang, besides that, isn't there any other way?" You know, the target of the happy dog thief is the princess of your Zhou Kingdom! Your two countries are allies, has General Yang forgotten it? ”

It was already uncomfortable to be used by Yang Jian to use Ashina Kuhe's heart, but now seeing that Yang Jian planned to completely fake his own hands to destroy the strong enemy, he was even more unhappy in his heart, and his tone became a little stiff.

The essence in Yang Jian's eyes flashed, but he did not show the slightest dissatisfaction on his face, and said with a smile: "The seventh prince, please calm your anger, it's not that Yang is unwilling to fight against the enemy, in addition to this big trouble, it's just that Na Xing has always been cunning, and the grassland is really vast, if there are not tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to carry out an intensive search, it is too difficult to find a happy one within a radius of hundreds of miles." ”

"Although the three thousand tigers who came to the grassland with Yang this time are also strong, the number is too small, and the only one who can command the grassland heroes is his bowl Khan, and only in this way can he exterminate the happiness in one fell swoop."

"Seventh Prince, Gao Changgong of Qi has also ascended the throne as emperor, if you don't get rid of him as soon as possible while his foundation is not solid, it will become a great disaster for you and me in the future. I am glad that as the only son of Gao Changgong, he is the best choice for the crown prince of Qi State, if you can keep him in the grassland, it will definitely give a great blow to the morale of Qi State, and he can have a lot of chances of winning against Qi State in the future! ”

"Humph!" Ashina Kuhezhen snorted lightly and said coldly: "There is some truth in what General Yang said, but you once said that you would lure Xingxing to come and gather and annihilate him, but now we are being made disgraced!" Even if I send someone to the tooth tent to ask my father Khan for his life now, it will take at least five days to wait for tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to be gathered, will I be happy to wait there and let us encircle and suppress him? ”

"Seventh Prince, as long as the princess is there, Happy will definitely not leave." Yang Jian squinted his eyes slightly, and said with a determined face: "Princess Qianjin is not only related to the reputation of Xing, but also to the dignity of the Qi Kingdom, so no matter what, Xingjin must prevent Princess Qianjin from marrying you and prevent the alliance between you and me!" ”

Ashina Kuhezhen frowned and asked, "Then according to General Yang's meaning, are we continuing to advance towards Yudu Jin Mountain?" ”

"Exactly!" Yang Jian smiled and said: "The seventh prince can rest assured, if he is happy to come again, Yang will definitely send my country's masters to attack, even if he can't capture Xing, his people will definitely not be able to please him, if he can learn the whereabouts of Xing from the captives, it is the best!" ”

"Okay, it's up to you!" Ashina Kuhezhen didn't think long before making a decision, and ordered Lakshen in a deep voice: "Inform me, set off early tomorrow morning, and everyone is ready to fight to the death!" ”

The continuous passivity has made Ashnaku Hezhen angry, and he is unwilling to be constrained by happiness everywhere, so he is saying this sentence categorically and murderously.

"Yes!" Rakshen's heart tightened, and he replied respectfully.

……

In the deep twilight, two black figures were marching on the empty grassland, both of them were dressed in black, and their faces were also wrapped in black scarves, so they couldn't see their original appearance. Their steps seemed rather light, their legs swinging unfast, but it only took a few breaths to cross hundreds of meters.

"Why did you take the risk when you knew the enemy was prepared?" The voice is a little old, but it is deep and powerful.

"Only when I appear, all their conspiracies will be revealed, besides, if you don't do it again, when the Turks mobilize a large army to come, my 10,000 people may be able to escape, but if you want to snatch Yuwen's daughter, I'm afraid you can't."

The voice is clear, and although the tone is flat, it exudes strong confidence, not happy who else is coming.

"You must not take it lightly, according to the information I have received, it is very likely that there are masters of the Heavenly Evil Sect who came to the grassland with Yang Jian this time, and if you are not careful, you may be worried about your life!" The old man's voice was very solemn and serious.

Happy chuckled and said, "Elder Liu, in the midst of the chaos, do you have the confidence to defeat me?" ”

"Can't!"

"Then you have the confidence to win the musket in my hand?"

Even though he was unwilling, the old man still replied truthfully: "No." ”

smiled happily, but no longer spoke, and the speed of his feet was a little faster.
