Chapter 354: The Khan was furious

100,000 Turks migrated eastward, along the Xilamulun River all the way to the east, along the way encountered large and small tribes were destroyed, the naturally warlike Turks were soon immersed in the joy of continuous victory, marched seven hundred miles to the east, captured three tribal camps, captured hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep, 10,000 horses, the vanguard of the wolf riders have become accustomed to the new identity, they also gained a lot of benefits in the war.

Li Xian was fair and just, and all the cattle, sheep, horses, and slaves he obtained were distributed to the Turks, and in just half a month, the attitude of his new people towards him changed from fear to respect.

By the time they arrived at the Xiren tribe, the eastward migration tribe led by Li Xian had increased from nearly 100,000 to more than 140,000 at the beginning, which was already a fairly large tribe, carrying millions of cattle, sheep and horses, endlessly, and the speed of daily travel did not exceed 50 miles. However, Li Xian was not in a hurry, the steppe coalition army had not yet returned, and those small and medium-sized tribes far away from the Turkic territory did not have much strength to defend at all, and the people living on the north bank of the Xilamulun River had already received the news, and they retreated two hundred miles north in one go.

The people were not afraid of the 8,000 light cavalry under Li Xian's command, they were afraid of the Turks. In a confrontation with the Turks, even if they win, they are afraid that they will be retaliated against in the future.

The people retreated, and Li Xian was naturally very happy.

He didn't really plan to fight to the death with the Pytars, and the Pytar tribe was also quite powerful on the grassland. Although most of the tribal warriors headed south, the number of troops they left behind was not to be underestimated. When Li Xian told everyone what he thought, in fact, he didn't say what he really considered.

If the idea of driving the Turks to attack the other tribes of the steppe is crazy. So if the truest thoughts in Li Xian's heart are spoken, I am afraid that even a bold guy like Luo Shixin who can fit into a world will drop his jaw in shock.

Compared to this idea, the thing that drove the Turks to seize a steppe is simply not worth mentioning.

It was because it was too unbelievable, so Li Xian only told Ye Huaichong about this idea. Because in his opinion, maybe only after Ye Huaichong listened to his thoughts, he wouldn't feel crazy. But in fact, when Ye Huaichong heard him say such shocking words, his first reaction was to ask Li Xian: "Are you crazy?" ”

"I know you're smarter than a lot of people, more than most people, so I saw a long time ago that she wasn't going to be happy, even though she was living in seclusion in Junozawa and seemed carefree, but she was really not happy. I overlooked how much the environment affects a person, who has lived on the prairie since she was a child, and is no longer able to live in another place. She also came to me before you led the army on the expedition, and she didn't want you to go to the steppe to kill. ”

"But ......"

Ye Huaisleeve paused for a moment and said, "If you arrange it like this, will she be even more unhappy?" ”

Li Xian looked at Ye Huaisleeve and smiled: "Actually, it's very simple to know if she wants to." ”

He turned his gaze to the front, looked at the endless grassland and said, "I have already sent someone back to pick her up, if she is unwilling, does not agree, does not like, she will naturally not come." ”

"You can't control her life!"

When it came to her sister Ashina Duoduo, Ye Huaisleeve couldn't keep her usual light and light.

"She wants to live a quiet and down-to-earth life, and if you take her back to the grassland, she will face endless troubles, which is not what she wants."

"Whether it's what she wants, you and I don't know. I'm just giving her one more option so she can live the life she wants. I'm not going to force her anything, never. ”

"Where are you targeting?"

Ye Huaisleeve asked.

"Khitans."

Li Xian replied seriously.

Ye Huaisleeve was stunned, and his face changed involuntarily.

Li Xian smiled, looked at Ye Huaisleeve's eyes and said, "I'll help you smash someone's wishful thinking." ”

"That's Qingqing's home!"

Ye Huaisleeve said worriedly: "Have you ever thought about Qingqing's feelings? The person she likes takes people to attack her hometown, and her father and mother are enemies, do you think an innocent girl like Qingqing can withstand this kind of pain? ”

"She will."

Li Xian slowly put away his smile, looked at the flowing clouds in the sky, and said word by word: "I promised her to restore Qingniu Lake to its previous calm, and to achieve this goal, then we must first destroy the original things." Actually, what I wanted to do was a bit mean, but there was no doubt that it wasn't necessarily a bad thing for the grasslands. For Zhongyuan, it will not be a bad thing. ”

"Oh my God!"

Ye Huaisleeve suddenly understood: "Are you planning to take Qingqing back to the grassland?" ”

Li Xian nodded and said solemnly: "Two people, it will always be simpler." ”

……

……

Khitan He Da He Ministry.

"What are the Turks going to do?"

The burly man paced back and forth on the grass, his brow tightly locked, the anger and worry in his eyes so deep. Not far from him, his wife Chen Wanrong was also frowning, and there was a thick worry on her delicate and delicate face.

A little farther away, Lang Changhong sat on a stone sharpening his scimitar. He didn't speak, and the sound of sharpening his knife was tooth sore. Mo Hui roared angrily and then fell silent, Chen Wanrong looked at him, and Lang Changhong looked at the knife in his hand.

"Our tribe can't afford war."

I don't know how long it has been, but Chen Wanrong, who really can't hold back, whispered to her husband.

"I know!"

Mo Hui sighed and said, "After two years of fighting with the Xi people, almost all of the most elite warriors in our clan have been killed. Now we can't even get together 5,000 cavalry in our tribe, and if we continue to fight, I'm afraid that it won't be long before our tribe will be wiped out.! ”

"But the Turks obviously plan to exterminate my tribe this time, if it is just a deterrent as before, why bring 100,000 herdsmen with them? With countless cattle and sheep and livestock? This is not a simple attack, they have taken a fancy to our pasture, and they are here to settle down! ”

"I think you should send someone to talk to the Turks and see which tribe they belong to. A year ago, Ashina went to Hu and promised us, and he promised that there would be no more wars on our He Da He in the future. ”

"Ashina going to the hoof?"

Mo Hui said angrily: "That old fox, when did he ever have a good heart? ”

Thinking of the incident between his wife and Ashina, Mohui's heart was even more blocked.

"It's a big deal! Even if the Turks really dare to come, I will not let out the pasture! ”

"Or ......"

Chen Wanrong asked tentatively, "Will you go and discuss with the Ai Jin of other tribes again?" The Turks are menacing, and they will not understand the truth of cold lips and teeth. ”

"Where do I go to talk to them?"

Mo Hui said with annoyance: "Have you forgotten that except for our He Da He Department who did not participate in the Southern Expedition because of the great losses in the war, the men and horses of the other seven departments have already gone south to the Central Plains?" ”

"How could I have forgotten something so important?"

Chen Wanrong said seriously: "It is precisely because almost eighty percent of the warriors of the Khitan tribe have gone south that you have the opportunity to convince those who stayed behind." If the Turks really attacked, with the strength of any of our Khitan Eight Divisions alone, no one would be able to prevent the fate of being destroyed. Now it's not just our He Dahe who is threatened, but the entire Khitan tribe! ”

"Why didn't I think of that?"

Mo Hui's eyes lit up and said, "I'll go now!" ”

At this time, suddenly a Khitan warrior hurriedly ran over and bowed down to the Mohui and said, "Ai Jin, the Turks have sent a messenger to see you. ”

Mo Hui and Chen Wanrong were stunned at the same time when they heard this, and their faces changed involuntarily. Hearing this, the sound of sharpening the knife stopped abruptly, and Lang Changhong slowly raised his head, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

……

……

The Turkic envoy who came to the Khitan He Dahe was a real Turk, this is not a nonsense, you must know that the Turks who are now migrating eastward, their khans are a real Han Chinese. And he is a Han man with cold and hard means, and he is still a fair and just Han man.

Since Li Xian took them to the east, it has been almost two months now. From Ashina's territory to the grassland of the Khitans, spanning thousands of miles, I have to say that this is a very spectacular operation. More than 100,000 people, millions of cattle, sheep and horses, the scale is staggering. There has not been such a large-scale migration in the steppe for many years, and each tribe has its own good pasture, and migration means starting a war.

On behalf of the migrating Turkic tribes came a fifty-year-old Turkic man, whose name was Elifa, who was once an official under Ashina to Hu, but this person was not willing to do so before.

But today his status is honorable, because he is a representative of the Turks.

Mo Hui and Chen Wanrong personally led the tribal elders out to greet them, and they did not dare to have the slightest disrespect for the Turks before the war. They did not know that this migratory Turkic tribe could in fact be considered traitors to the Turks, and even if they did, they did not dare to act too strong. The traitors of the Turks are not the traitors of the entire steppe, and the Turkic royal court has the right to punish the traitors, but not to other tribes, because this is the dignity of the Turks.

Two hundred majestic wolves rode outside He Da Hebu's camp and stopped, the wolf with black armor and red cloak rode to both sides, holding a red horsetail whip representing the identity of the messenger, Elifa looked at the respectful and careful Mohui in front of him and smiled and said, "Dear Ai Jin, it's an honor to meet you today." ”

It's just that although he spoke politely, he didn't get off his horse.

The Turks have supremacy in the steppe, and the emissaries represent the Khan, although the Khan represented by the Elifa today is somewhat different, but the pride of the Turks remains.

"Honorable messenger, welcome."

Mo folded his arms across his chest, bent down deeply, and said humbly.

"I have come on behalf of the Great Khan, and I have a good thing to discuss with Ejin."

Elifa smiled and said, "If Ai Jin doesn't mind, shouldn't you invite me to your big tent?" ”

The Mohui hurriedly invited Elifa into the camp, and in the big tent of the Mohui, Elifa sat in the first place unceremoniously, but the elders of the Mohui and He Dahe did not show a little anger. After a short time, the wine and food were sent into the big tent by the slave girls one after another, and after saying a few words of greeting to Elifa, Mo Hui and Elifa muttered for a while and asked, "I don't know what the will of the holy envoy has brought the khan this time?" ”

Elifa smiled and said, "Last year, the battle between you and the Xi people was already known, and he specially sent me to help you regain the dignity of He Da and Hebu. ”

"You're here to help me get back the pasture that was taken by the Xi people?"

Mo Hui immediately asked excitedly.

"No, no, no!"

Elifa shook his head and smiled: "Last year, the Khan personally ordered and sent the special agent Ashina to the hooves to mediate the fight between you and the Xi people, how could the Khan deny his previous will?" ”

Mo Hui's face changed, and he said in surprise: "Please make it clear to the Holy Envoy." ”

Eli cleared his throat and said solemnly: "Last year, the war between your He Da He tribe and the Xi people was so fierce, it seems that the other Khitan tribes did not send troops to assist you, right?" ”

Elifa said gloomily: "This is a very shameless act, and the Khan is very angry when he finds out. ”
