Ashina Tumen suddenly put on a formation when he saw the opposite side, and wanted the army to gather and re-form a strike lineup, but the shaved head army behind him pressed up regardless of life or death, and Gao Aocao was hung in several places, but he was still brandishing a long knife, like a madman who was running rampant everywhere covered in blood at a glance, Ashina Yan planned to solve the shaved head army first and then fight against Gao Huan's main force.

How could Gao Huan make these 40,000 people so arrogant, he ordered to speed up the pace of marching, at this time, a large number of infantry due to the iron chain and tripping horse rope with the hook sickle, has caused a large number of casualties to the Turks on the periphery, the tripping horse rope is trapped, and then the hook sickle cut the horse's legs, and the fallen rider was stabbed to death by the Eastern Wei infantry who came forward before he could react, this trick is really useful.

The cavalry fell in batches, and Ashina Tumen, who was not superior in numbers, felt that the situation was critical, so he ordered his subordinates not to retreat in love, and Gao Huan only then changed to cavalry to pursue, and the riders of the Eastern Wei Dynasty used long-range weapons such as bows and arrows. Ashina Tumen's troops were heavily damaged, half of the 40,000 casualties, and the rest were all remnants of the army, and there was no combat effectiveness for the time being.

However, Gao Huan found out that this Turkic army was not the main force of the Golden Horde, and he secretly said bad in his heart, and sure enough, someone immediately reported to him that Yonggu City was attacked by a large number of Turks. Gao Huan had no choice but to give up his plan to chase Ashina Tumen, and hurriedly led his army south to rescue Yonggu. When he arrived at Yonggu City, his heart was already half cold.

The entire Yonggu has been burned by fire, and only the bare and black city walls remain, and there are corpses inside and outside the city, both Turkic and Eastern Wei army. Looking at the ruins of the city, Gao Huan anxiously entered the city to find Yaoqin's whereabouts, but unfortunately several Eastern Wei defenders who had their noses cut off told him: The Golden Horde Khan attacked here not long after Gao Huan's army left, and the defending troops were only more than 10,000 people in total, and they couldn't resist the influx of Turks like a tide, they kidnapped Mrs. Yaoqin and Lord Xu, and took away all the Turks who had been captured before.

When Gao Huan heard this, his heart was cold, his woman was taken away by the Golden Horde, and she was deep in the wolf's den at the moment, in case she was ****...... He didn't dare to think about it, it was simply an insult to him: his own women couldn't be protected. After consulting with Murong Shaozong and other generals, he decided to abandon Yonggu, because everything here had been burned and the city walls had been destroyed, and there was no way to defend against another invasion by the Turks. He was anxious to send someone to the Golden Horde Khan, wanting to discuss with him about the hostages.

He returned to Pingcheng anxiously, found Sun Teng, the second brother of Jieyi, who was arranging rear affairs for him, and asked him to negotiate with the Turks as an envoy, and instructed him to find a way to bring Mrs. Yaoqin back, because she was Gao Huan's woman, and she would definitely not end well if she fell into the hands of the enemy.

Sun Teng was ordered to be in danger and felt that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy, so he asked Gao Huan: "If the Turks and the Huns of the Han Dynasty were the same as the Huns of the Han Dynasty and offered us very harsh conditions, then can we agree?" Because he wanted to know how important this Yaoqin was in Gao Huan's heart, but he couldn't ask directly, so he expressed his doubts so euphemistically.

Gao Huan thought silently for a while, then raised his head and said very firmly: "As long as we don't want to get out of the Central Plains, his conditions can be discussed." Sun Teng understood, this Mrs. Yaoqin is so valuable here in Gao Huan, comparable to the rivers and mountains of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, which makes Sun Teng feel a little uncomfortable, since ancient times, the love of women in the Ming Dynasty is to not affect the society of the country, but at this moment Gao Huan is willing to exchange the country for a Qinglou woman, which makes Sun Teng feel very puzzled.

He wanted to persuade Gao Huan a few words, so he said: "King, the old minister doesn't know if he should say something?" Gao Huan sat on the chair and waved his hand weakly and said, "If you have anything, just say it." Sun Teng thought for a moment and said: "Great King, this war between us and the Turks is completely for the purpose of passive defense, and there is no direct contradiction between us and them. Now that Rouran has perished, and the rest of the people have fled to Chechi in the Western Regions with Uncle Deng, we have no reason to fight for a country that has perished, and Yuwentai is now wantonly encroaching on our land in Henan, looting our property and food, the old minister privately thinks that we should marry and form an alliance with the Turks, and then wave his army south to drive Yuwentai to recover Henan. That's the way to go. ”

"I understand what you mean, you mean that I want to give up avenging my father-in-law, forget the shame of my woman being captured by the Turks, and make an alliance with them, do you think this can be exchanged for peace?" Gao Huan was a little angry, how could this second brother Sun Teng not understand his thoughts, and now he is a fool who wants to live peacefully with the Turks.

There is never a vacuum of power, it will only move from one place to another, from one person to another, it has always been and has never disappeared. Although Rouran perished, the territory they left behind would be taken over by the Turks who defeated them, and the once dominant Rouran would now be replaced by a more powerful nomadic people, this is history.

Sun Teng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and continued under the gaze of a stern gaze: "Lao Chen does not expect that there will be any peace with barbarians like the Turks, and Lao Chen also knows that they will definitely be defeated by us in the end, just like Emperor Wu of Han destroyed the Xiongnu. But at this moment, what we need more is a temporary cultivation business, to resist foreign enemies must ensure the stability and unity of the country, the Han Wu Emperor government Xiongnu with thirty or forty years, we do not have the strength to eat the Turks in one breath at the moment, why not temporarily back down, after lying on the salary and tasting courage, find an opportunity to destroy the Tu giant in one fell swoop. ”

Seeing that Gao Huan didn't speak, Sun Teng had the courage to continue: "The envoys who traveled between the Turks and the Eastern Wei Dynasty often said that the Turks were powerful and that we could not control them. However, as Lao Chen has seen these days, although the Turkic soldiers are vicious, the rewards and punishments are very light, and although there are many leaders but no decree, how can it be said that it is difficult to control? These envoys falsely claimed that the Turks were strong, in order to make the country more favorable to the Turkic envoys, so that they could get rich rewards when they went to the Turks. The court was deceived by his false words, and the soldiers were afraid. But the Turks seem to be strong and are actually very easy to deal with. Now, in the eyes of the minister, the envoys sent before and after can be beheaded. ”

Gao Huan raised his head at this time and asked, "What do you want me to do?" Sun Teng said: "The old minister just wants to tell the king that the Turks are not invincible, but we must see our actual difficulties clearly at the moment, and deal with them first, waiting for the opportunity." Gao Huan then asked: "Then you say marriage, who should we marry him?" I've never had a sister's. Sun Teng said with a smile: "Don't worry, the king, we don't need you to send your sister to kiss, we just need to find a random woman and give her a noble identity." ”

Gao Huan lowered his head and pondered, he suddenly remembered a sister of Yaoqin: Liu Ruyan, this girl is average-looking, but she is extremely talented and proficient in Han culture, the key is that this girl looks weak on the outside but is very strong on the inside. At this moment, she was living in Yecheng, Gao Huan told Sun Teng about this candidate, Sun Teng patted his thigh and said happily: "What we want is such a candidate, hurry up and send someone to pick her up, I will tell her about it personally." ”

So Gao Huan's soldiers divided into two routes, one side sent envoys to the Golden Horde Khan to stabilize them, which basically meant that Gao Huan wanted to negotiate with the Turks, and the conditions were easy to discuss. On the other hand, let Sun Teng bring Liu Ruyan to Pingcheng. He was going to convince the girl himself.

In Xianyang City, Yuwentai was pacing back and forth in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he was listening to the intelligence of the secret agent: Chan Nu and Yao were very calm as usual, especially Chan Nu and her mother's family, there seemed to be no strange moves, and his nephew Yu Wenhu on the side was holding a sword, and he also interjected: "Prime Minister, I think we don't have to waste time on internal investigations, for the sake of today, we must first start the war against the Eastern Wei Dynasty as soon as possible, and now Gao Huan's main force is not in the country, but our army only stops in the area of Jingzhou, Xuzhou, Henan, In case Gao Huan moves south from the north, it will be difficult for us to hold on to these newly won territories, and then all the gains we have made will be wasted. ”

"Nonsense, of course you're not in a hurry, it's not your son who died, my son is dead, my son!" Yu Wentai was very excited, the filial piety clothes on his body had not been taken off, and he had already suffered greatly from the tragedy of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man. Now he is not interested in Gao Huan's territory or anything, he just wants to find out the murderer of his son.

At this time, the attendant at the door reported: "Princess Yuanyu has arrived." Yu Wentai hurriedly waved his hand to the secret agent, asking him to hurry down, and then tidy up his makeup, only to see that the princess had come in outside the door, and there were two close palace maids beside her, and the princess said to the two of them after entering the door: "You guys retreat first, I have something to say to the prime minister." Yu Wentai stepped forward and hugged the princess and said: "You are about to give birth, why are you still running around, if there is anything to let people tell me, don't do this next time, you know?" ”

He had just lost a son, and now he was very concerned about Princess Yuanxiao's big belly. Yuwentai is not a person who is affectionate, he is just because the Yuwen family is not prosperous, especially his branch, which has been passed down for several generations. So I am very eager to have a few more children in my heart, even if it is a daughter, but it is a pity that all he has given birth to over the years is a son, and one is still a human species, so he attaches great importance to the children who are about to be born of Yuwenliu and Princess Yuanxiao, he hopes that it will be a boy, so that the hollowness in his heart will be a little better.

This person is really strange, he is so sad about his fake son who is not his own, how can he not care at all about the person he brutally killed. Princess Yuanyu thought that her lover was killed by him, and her hatred for him became even more in her heart. I saw her very sad and said: "I am also very sad when the prince dies, but I heard that the prime minister has not eaten or drunk in recent days, and I am very worried about you, so I made some food and brought it over, and I will take a look at you by the way." Saying that, the palace maid outside the door walked in cautiously with a food box, put the food box on the table and was about to open it, Princess Yuan Xiao got up and said, "You go down, I'll come by myself." The palace maid blessed her with all the money, and then retreated.

Yuwentai was a little moved, Chan Nu and Yao rarely cared about themselves so much, Yao was a little better, when Yuwentai went to her room, she was attentive to her, whether it was on the bed or under the bed. That Chan slave is different, always lukewarm to herself, every time she goes to her room, Yuwentai always sits down and leaves, and stays from a short time. Princess Yuanxiao was also very bad to him before she was pregnant, and she didn't even talk to him, but when she got pregnant, she slowly became willing to talk to him, and sometimes she laughed, and Yuwentai was also willing to contact her.

He thought in his heart, maybe it was because she was pregnant with her own seed in her belly after all, and she was the father of the child. So at this moment, his heart is also full of love and gratitude for Yuan Xiao. The two of them sat at the table eating snacks made by Princess Yuanyu and chatting about some private conversations. Suddenly, Yuwentai felt abdominal pain, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his head instantly, only to see Princess Yuanxiao also fall to the ground with a sigh, touching her stomach with both hands and moaning: "It hurts, my stomach hurts so much!" ”

Yu Wentai leaned on the table and shouted: "Come on, come quickly, go and invite the imperial doctor to come......" The eunuchs, palace maids and armor soldiers outside the door suddenly made a mess. (To be continued.) )
