Yang Guang had insomnia, and the other king also had insomnia.

A hundred miles outside the Yanmen Pass, the Turkic Shibi Khan spent the night sitting outside the battle and watching the sky.

He was a little irritable, since he arrived outside Yanmen Pass in April, he has been waiting, at first he wanted to suddenly launch a surprise attack on the Sui Dynasty, plundering some materials and population, but he didn't expect that Yun Dingxing, the general of Yanmen Pass, discovered his motives in time and sent news to Yang Guang.

Later, Yang Guang came to a letter, asking him why he led his troops to appear at Yanmen Pass, at that time he really wanted to attack Yanmen in a fit of anger, but when he calmed down, he knew that it was irrational to do so.

His purpose is simple, plunder!

If he fought head-on with the Sui Dynasty, there was no certainty of victory, but it would cause a large number of casualties, so that after returning to the tent, other tribes would threaten his safety. After thinking about it, I decided to take a risk.

He first told Yang Guang that he wanted to train soldiers, not attack, and then used words to squeeze Yang Guang's timidity, and finally invited Yang Guang to come to the border alliance together. If Yang Guang agreed, he could take the opportunity of the alliance to capture Yang Guang, so that the great country of the Sui Dynasty would be in his pocket.

After replying to Yang Guang, I was nervous for a few days, and finally received a letter from Yang Guang again, and I really agreed to meet the alliance. Shi Bi was excited for several days, and then held a grand military meeting, arranged everything, and waited for Yang Guang to throw himself into the net.

Waiting is painful, looking forward to it, for more than a month, Yang Guang has not moved, and he is starting to get anxious. On the one hand, eating and drinking for more than 100,000 people is also a big expense. The nomads have been driving cattle and sheep everywhere, and they have been eating their old books for more than a month, and now they are running out of food.

Shi Bi was worried that his team would soon lose its momentum, and in the future, for a little food, his own people would start a war first, so he was more worried than Yang Guang.

A few days ago, I received a letter from Princess Yicheng, saying that the two tribes of Dongluo and Ximuhe have been settled, and now the Yatent has completely occupied the Harmulin grassland between the Egen River and the Duluo River.

Shibi is very happy, this He Dun is much more capable than he imagined, and now as long as he captures Yang Guang again, the entire north will be his world in the future.

Eighteen tribes of warriors followed him to the Yanmen Pass, four of which were related to him. The Bayegu tribe is his half-brother, the Tongluo tribe is his nephew, the Nogai tribe is his cousin, and the special service map who manages the seven tribes including Sanger is his illegitimate son.

So in general, nearly half of the eighteen tribes are his descendants, so Shibi is the most powerful existence among the Turks. But if he continues to wait like this, it is estimated that these tribes will also stand up against him, after all, the survival of the tribe is the most important thing.

After a night of deliberation, he finally made a decision, and the next morning he summoned all the tribes to the big tent to discuss the matter.

Eighteen catties, five Ye Hu, two (Note 1), and one spy all gathered in the big tent, and Shi Bi said: "I have called you here today, I have a decision to announce, from this day onwards, I will accept all the requests for assistance from the rebels of the Sui Dynasty, and as long as they can bring us food and money, we will help them attack the Sui Dynasty together." ”

Everyone didn't expect such a big thing, how could they make a hasty decision in the morning. Little Abbas said: "Honorable Khan, this matter is very important, should we discuss it again before making a decision." ”

Worth also said: "It's not impossible to start a war with the Sui Dynasty, it's just that now we are all waiting for Yang Guang, if we start a war at will, will Yang Guang still come?" ”

Seeing that the two objected, Shi Bi smiled and said: "I have already thought of these, we can't wait for Yang Guang to come here, we don't have much food left, and we can't afford it."

Shi Bi glanced at the special agent and asked, "How long can we eat our grain?" ”

Tudu said: "My current number of people counts, two meals a day, and I can eat for more than half a month." ”

"I heard you!" Shibi stood up and said to everyone: "There is only half a month's food, and we will run out of food after half a month, what will we do then?" You say! ”

No one spoke, and they were all thinking about how much grain their tribe had, and how they could get more food to store.

Shi Bi said: "Some time ago, Dou Jiande (Note 2) and Wang Xuba of the Sui Dynasty came to me to borrow troops, and they were also willing to provide us with food. ”

Agudos asked, "Is the Khan going to send troops to help them?" Now that the army is here, how to send troops? ”

Shi Bi looked at his nephew and said, "I plan to divide our team into two parts, led by Mo He Du Sheh and Ni Bu She, respectively, and be responsible for the Sui generals on the east and west sides. ”

When the two of them heard this, they both took a step forward and said to Shibi: "The Khan values it and will live up to expectations." ”

Shibi was very happy, walked down from behind the table, patted the two of them on the shoulder, and said, "If you have any requests, just put them forward." ”

The two of them thought for a while, but there was nothing important, they both shook their heads, and Shi Bi asked them to stand aside first and continued: "No matter what, our principle is to get their food, gold and silver, and try to let them Sui people fight Sui people, let them fight among themselves, so that we can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." ”

Everyone nodded their heads, and Shibi was very satisfied, and asked people to serve wine and began to drink and feast.

The Turks eat very casually, as long as there is a sheep, they can eat anything, the most solemn is the roast of the whole sheep, like the general banquet is a sheep is distributed by the oldest or the oldest person.

Shibi has been depressed for a while because of these things, but today he finally made up his mind, and it was considered a wish, so he ate and drank with these people, and finally fell drunk in the tent.

At this time, the two tribes were facing each other in the Turkic steppe. Tudu was originally going to marry Hanyun, just in time for Shibi to attack the Sui Dynasty and go with the army, and Hanyun also took advantage of this time to escape. Now that the secret service tribe has received the news, they have brought their people to ask for someone.

The Sange tribe also set out with Shibi, and the only person in the clan could talk to was Amusi, and he took the people of the clan out to confront the special service people.

The two clans did not give in to each other, and when a conflict was about to break out, an elder finally stood up and said: "No matter what contradictions the two clans have, they should not face each other with swords, we are the descendants of the same grassland god, and we must respect each other." ”

He was respected by both tribes, and the old man was the uncle of the Khan of Qimin, the oldest of the Turks. He had already lived in seclusion in the secret service tribe, and then he heard that everyone had gone to the Sanger tribe to ask for someone, and he was worried that something would happen, so he came out tremblingly.

Seeing the old man standing in the field, everyone stopped talking, although there was still a strong smell of gunpowder between each other, but they all tried to restrain themselves in front of the old man.

The old man said, "What is the matter, or you all send someone to sit down and have a good talk, there is no need to be so tense." If you believe me, how about I be an intermediary? ”

The two tribes discussed, and it seemed that this was the only way to do it now, and the secret service tribe sent Liguda and Samger's Amu Si to negotiate.

The old man told the men to wait outside, and led the two into a tent.

As soon as he entered the tent, the old man said, "You are all from the two tribes, don't you know what it means to do this?" Do you want to provoke civil strife? ”

Both of them were shocked, how could they say it so seriously all of a sudden, isn't it just for a woman, how can it be said that it is civil strife.

Seeing that the two were puzzled, the old man said again: "Don't think I don't know what you are for, the secret service wants to marry Hanyun, it was originally set by the Khan, this is nothing, the problem is that the special service now has more than a dozen small He Dun, big and small, so what is the purpose of marrying Hanyun?" Have you thought about it? ”

Li Guduo was about to speak, but the old man stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Listen to me." He looked at Amu again and said: "Hanyun is the most beautiful flower on the grassland, Tudu is the illegitimate son of the Khan, if the two of them come together, then Tudu will have the conditions to inherit the next Khan, what will the current spies think at that time." ”

"If we are really succeeded by Tudu, then our grassland will have another bloody storm, why can't you think of it?" The old man was a little agitated and coughed violently.

Amu Si hurriedly went over to help beat his back, and brought mare's milk for the old man to drink a few sips, and when he saw that the old man was better, he sat back again.

"Now that Tudu has followed the Khan to fight, something like this has happened at home, once he knows about it, won't he and the Sange tribe be incompatible? So what use can it be at the front, isn't it just dragging the Khan back? The old man thumped his chest and said.

"I think Hanyun ran well, she run, no matter what happens, it won't happen, and you don't want to get in trouble for this matter, there are many good women on the grassland, and the picture is not bad. In addition, don't you know that Yoshinari Hordun has cleaned up the disobedient Dongluo and Ximuhe tribes? Do you want to be next? ”

The two suddenly felt that this was not a simple matter of marriage, it seemed that it had really involved a lot of entanglements of interests in the upper echelons, and if one was not careful, there was really a possibility of conflict, and these two tribes had a close relationship with the Khan, and if they really fought, it would be a war that would determine the direction of the Turks.

Cold sweat suddenly broke out on both of their heads, looking at the old man, and at the same time giving a salute, the old man smiled slightly.

Out of the tent, Ligota took the people back, and Amu Si also sent the people away, and a storm was nipped in the bud.
