In the early morning, the birds are singing and the air is fresh.

When Temur woke up, he found that Purpa's thighs were pressing against him, and they carried a lot of weight.

Prapa slept like a dead man, but fortunately he was not a dead man, and his snoring sound and drooling were so long. Temur was a little disgusted with the bearded man, but he felt a little sorry for this man, who made this Puraba unable to return home, so he could only sleep in the wilderness.

Temur was in pain from the rocks, but he felt more comfortable than he had ever felt before. It's not that he's in the habit of being abused, it's that he's forgotten the last time he slept comfortably.

When he turned over and sat up, Temur was a little confused, he always felt that something was missing, was it missing his subordinates, not like, his subordinates were fewer every day, and so far, only his brother was left, and he was less numb. Is it the lack of money and women, it's not like, after these days of escape, he now feels that those are just things outside his body, but there must be something missing, otherwise how can he feel very wrong.

"Puraba, wake up." Temur pushed down the Puraba beside him, wanting him to think with him.

Praba slept like a dead pig, was pushed by Temur, but jumped up like a rabbit with an arrow, Zhang Yisi advisor, "What's the matter, did Li Jing chase after him?" ”

Now Purpa finally understands who Li Jing is, and what demon Temur said can't describe Li Jing's viciousness, insidiousness, cunning, greed, and cruelty at all.

In Purapa's view, Li Jing has the patience of a wolf, the ferocity of a tiger, the cunning of a fox, and the difficulty of a snake, but these are still not enough, this Li Jing also has the sensitive sense of smell like a dog, no matter where they run, Li Jing can keep up.

"No, no chasing." Temur suddenly thought of something and said in surprise: "Puraba, you listen. ”

"Listen to what?"

"What do you hear?"

"I heard the birds singing and the stream flowed merrily......"

"Idiot." Temur suddenly stood up and said with a happy face: "Didn't you hear the sound of the hoofs of the chasing horses disappearing?" ”

Temur's words were very mysterious, but Prapa actually understood, Huo Ran jumped up and said in surprise: "Are you saying that Li Jing is not chasing us anymore?" ”

Temur nodded vigorously, looked up at the green hills, and tears flowed, "Allah, you have finally blessed us once." ”

The two were overjoyed, they actually hugged each other, sang and danced for a while, but there were no clansmen beating the beat, which was not beautiful. Although Purapa was beaten by Li Jing and vomited blood, fortunately, the injury was not serious, and when people fled for their lives, they could always stimulate unimaginable potential. Prapa recognized the direction of Temur's escape and chased after him, and he was able to catch up with Temur, and he became a difficult brother, and every day he got up and fled to the sound of Li Jing's horses' hooves, resting under extreme exhaustion, Temur's men finally ran away, and the two could be said to be dependent on each other, and they didn't care about complaining about anything. Last night, Pura was so injured and tired that he couldn't run anymore, and he didn't get up anymore when he was killed, so he had to sleep, and he just said that he was dead, and it was better to run for his life than to die. Temur was also really tired, ruthless, and found a leeward hillside to fall asleep, but he didn't expect that Li Jing chased them all the way and lost them.

Temur, who calmed down, finally realized the current situation, the clan was scattered, his subordinates were gone, and his sons went to rob other people's jewels and women, but the old bottom of the family was burned by Li Jing's bird eggs.

"This won't work, someone must stop Li Jing." Temur muttered to himself, "If this continues, there will be no more peace in the steppe, this shameful bandit." ”

"Yes, yes," Pura patted his head, "but when the Khan goes south, who can stop Li Jing?" ”

"Khan is not here, and Khatun is there." Temur's eyes lit up, "I know Kedun is not far from here, let's go ask her for help, and take back our clan, women, and jewels!" ”

**When Temur and Purpa saw Kedun, they found that they were not the only two of them who were suffering, and that all the tribes looked anxious and sad.

The patriarchs of Turusu, Hu Xue, Sijie, Fuluo, as well as Tongluo, Weitong and other clans were all there, and there was no tribe that had not been beaten by Li Jing from west to east. There was no patriarch to ask for help, but because it was close to the northwest of the grassland, it was not affected by this round of war. Now the big tent of Kedun is more like a tribes' assembly in the steppe, and the people are shouting and arguing, turning a blind eye to the arrival of the two Temurs.

Temur shouted, "Don't make any noise, listen to Kedun's opinion." ”

Everyone was silent, and Ke Dun finally frowned and asked, "How many people are there in Li Jing?" ”

"Ten thousand!"

"Thirty thousand!"

"A hundred thousand troops!"

Three pounds gave three very different answers.

Ke Dun glanced at Mo Zhi and said: "You let the soldiers closely investigate Li Jing's movements, and you must resist Li Jing's 100,000 troops, you are here with us, and we have the responsibility to protect their safety." ”

Answering the sound of the mozhi came out of the tent, the men looked at each other, and they all sat down a little peacefully, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"The 100,000 army seems to be a bit unworthy of the name," Ke Dun said highly: "As far as I know, Li Jing is a marriage envoy this time, and he originally only brought a few hundred soldiers?" ”

"It's impossible," Tong Jin felt that his feet were feverish, and he couldn't say that he was beaten by hundreds of soldiers, "Ke Dun, Li Jing may be with hundreds of soldiers in the open, but it is more likely that the Great Sui has secretly sent troops into the grassland, and now under his leadership, he is taking revenge on the grassland. ”

"Yes, I said it a long time ago, Da Sui can't be beaten, and now he will be punished." Temur said suddenly, seeing that everyone was looking at him, he was a little sneering, "You guys watch me do something, but don't Dun keep saying that we are friendly countries with the Great Sui,"

Kedun frowned, and said for a long time: "What you said is indeed possible, how many cavalry can you mobilize now?" ”

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads, "Kedun, our cavalry has gone south, and we can't organize an effective resistance force for a while. We all know that Kedun is the strongest in the grassland now, no, we all came to Kedun for help. ”

Ke Dun sneered in his heart, and secretly said that when you sent out the army, no one came to talk to me, and now I couldn't find the north after being beaten by Li Jing, and I began to think of me.

Although he was disgusted in his heart, Ke Dun still had a pleasant face, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Please send troops to kill Li Jing." Everyone said in unison. In fact, no matter how many people Li Jing had, they were all brave and incapable of fighting, and the elite soldiers in the clan all went out to rob, and the remaining strength was really limited, and they could not organize an effective resistance to Li Jing's thunderous blow.

Ke Dun shook his head and said, "I am a woman, how can I lead the army to fight." ”

Everyone said with a bitter face: "How is that good?" ”

Ke Dun suddenly laughed and said, "But although I can't lead the army to fight, I can nominate one person to unite everyone's forces against Li Jing." ”

"Who is it?" The crowd was amazed.

Ke Dun clapped his palms, and a middle-aged man came in the cowhide tent, coughing slightly, but there was a fiery fighting spirit in his eyes.

"I think many of you here should know Ashina? "He is the younger brother of Shibi Khan." ”

**After Kedun came out of the cowhide tent, an elusive smile appeared on his face.

Tamozhi followed closely behind her with a dozen or so guards, not daring to relax a little, but Kedun came to a very ordinary felt tent, opened the curtain and entered, but Tamozhi led the guards to guard a few feet away, and was on guard.

Inside the felt tent sat a man dressed as a Turkic soldier, with a felt hat pressing half of his face, but when he came in, he did not move, like a puppet statue.

Seeing that the tea on the table didn't move, Ke Dun asked, "Are you afraid that the tea is poisonous?" ”

"I'm not thirsty." His voice was low, without the slightest hint of weariness, and although he had fought thousands of miles, he looked much better than Temur.

Li Jing slowly raised his head and looked at the most powerful woman on the grassland, without much expression.

"You are indeed a very cautious person." Kedun sat down at his desk and said softly, "Temur and Prapa have finally arrived here as you expected, what should we do next?" ”

Ke Dun's eyes were calm, Li Jing did not dodge, "I should have done it for Da Sui, I have done it, and the rest should depend on Ke Dun's actions." ”

"I'm a woman, if I rush to send troops this time, will the Khan let me be in the grassland?"

Li Jing smiled, "Of course Kedun will not send troops this time, what Kedun does is for the sake of the grassland, this time he wants to fight with me, of course, he did it under the bitter pleading of the steppe people, Shibi Khan is not a fool, how can he be embarrassed by you?" However, Kedun needs to speed up his actions, and if the Holy Lord is caught, whether you act or not, you will not be able to stop him from coming against you. ”

"How many soldiers do you have with you?" Kedun asked curiously.

"The soldiers are not many but fine, what can the 400,000 Turkic soldiers do, can they rush up?"

Ke Dun thought about it carefully before saying: "It's very simple, but it's a very profound truth, it's a pity that I don't have a handsome talent like you by my side." ”

Li Jing was silent.

Ke Dun sighed softly, "I also heard the name Li Jing when I was unmarried in Xijing, at that time, you were unwilling, and I was the same, but I know that Li Jing is definitely a well-known man and trustworthy." If there is no saint, there will be no today's Kodun, but I can have today's power, it is also the result of equilibrium, I can't be careful. Now I let Ashina? Liversh will lead his troops to fight against you, and prepare to report to the Khan, and as to whether he will be able to withdraw his army according to your wishes, it is not something I can predict. ”

Li Jing was still silent, just lowered his head, and no one could figure out his intentions.

"Can you burn a little less, or lose a few battles?"

"I can't."

"Why?"

"Li Jing may die, but he can't be defeated." Li Jing replied in a deep voice.

But he looked at Li Jing for a long time, "Have you always been so conceited as a leader?" ”

"I'm not conceited, but I don't want to disappoint too many people." Li Jing said slowly: "Besides, defeat is not a good way, only by winning can we continue to put pressure on Shibi Khan." ”

Ke Dun was extremely majestic to his subordinates, but he couldn't get angry with this Li Jing, "But you must know that if Li Lifu is also defeated, it may have the opposite effect." ”

Li Jing laughed, with a sneer in his eyebrows, "Ke Dun said that he laughed, in fact, Ke Dun's real intention is of course more than that. Of course, I led my troops to stir up trouble in the steppes, which may not necessarily turn the Khan back, but Kedun supported Philsheth, and that was what the Khan was really worried about. He is the younger brother of the Khan, he has always been at odds with the Emperor, and he also has prestige in the steppe, and he is not the same as the Commander of the Grassland, his power rises, the Khan has been attacking Yanmen for a long time, the reinforcements from the counties will arrive sooner or later, the north is in turmoil, the Liverdish is strong, and it is likely to rob him of the status of the Khan. ”

Kedun's eyes burned, "Is there really nothing that can be hidden from you?" ”

Li Jing smiled, "There are some things that you don't have to hide." Some things are destined to be the result! ”

Ke Dun pondered the two words Li Jing said, and sighed for a while, "You are leaving now, can you tell me where you are going, I also have a preparation in advance?" ”

Li Jing shook his head, "No, my soldiers obey me and trust me, how can I joke with my soldiers' surnames." ”

Ke Dun laughed, nodded and said, "Li Jing, you are not simple. ”

After she finished speaking, she got up and walked out of the camp tent, but Li Jing did not move, and sat until night, then got up, took the token issued by Ke Dunfa out of the camp tent, went all the way north to a valley, climbed the mountain, and reached the other side of the mountain, where there were his three hundred soldiers and dozens of guards, when he saw Li Jing coming from the mountain, Sun Shaofang couldn't help but say: "Li Juncheng, in fact, there is a closer way here." ”

Li Jing looked back, "Sometimes, it is not a shortcut to go far away. ”

Sun Shaofang shook his head, and said in his heart that Li Jing's words and that Daoxin have a fight, which is simple and clear, but it is incomprehensible.

Everyone went out to the valley, and the soldiers were still as usual, like iron. The guards are throwing themselves to the ground with the five bodies that Li Jing admires, and Li Jing's chaotic battles and surprise attacks these days are really the five bodies that they admire. Although it was a chaotic battle, the chaotic ones have always been opponents, but it was Li Jing who fought. Li Jing's soldiers were always disciplined, and they could seize the opportunity at the first time when Li Jing gave command, so that the opponent could not be defeated. They marched all the way to the west, but they were not tired, it was really because Li Jing raised his troops and obtained the law.

Li Jing led the troops to continue to the east, and everyone did not ask, knowing that as long as they followed Li Jing, they had reached the Krulun River in less than a few hours, and the river was as bright as ever, and the war and fighting could not change its calm.

"Rest." After Li Jing finished speaking, he jumped off the horse, but he looked down the river with a calm gaze.

Sun Shaofang didn't know Li Jing's intentions, but he knew that Li Jing never did boring things.

The soldiers rested for half an hour, and two fast horses galloped from the lower reaches of the Krulun River. At present, the person is dressed as a Turkic soldier, but he is Li Jing's subordinate, of course, for the convenience of walking. The person behind was a woman, and her blue cloak couldn't hide her jade-like face, but she frowned, and when she saw the soldier in the distance, she was taken aback, but she still followed closely behind the soldier.

Li Jing slowly stepped up, the soldier dismounted and saluted, and retreated to the side, but Li Jing's eyes fell on the woman's hand.

The woman was holding a sachet in her hand, looking anxious, but waiting for Li Jing to say something.

"Meng Chenxue?"

"Hmm." Meng Chenxue's inquiring gaze, "Are you?" ”

"I'm Li Jing, Xiao Buyi's second brother." Li Jing's rarely smiling face showed warmth, "I asked people to ask you to come here, just because I could only go here at the farthest, but I promised Buyi, I must bring a word in person, which can only work hard for you." ”

Meng Chenxue sighed and said urgently, "It turned out to be the second brother, what's wrong with Buyi?" When she said this, she raised her sachet full of doubts. When Li Jing's subordinates arrived at the Meng Chen clan, they handed her a sachet, and then said that someone was looking for her, Meng Chenxue did not hesitate to follow the soldiers to the side of the Krulun River, this is the sachet that she Tokris handed over to Xiao Buyi, she never thought that one day it would return to her hands, all the way, she just thought about why Xiao Buyi couldn't come, and she was a little frightened.

"He's fine." Li Jing's words made Meng Chenxue's face pale.

"He's good? So what did he tell you to give me this sachet? ”

"Oh." Li Jing laughed, "He's just afraid that you won't believe me, so he believes in the sachet." He asked me to say something to you, and he said he missed you all the time. It's just that he's busy, but this time he's going to do something he has to do. Well, the front is what he said, and the back is my explanation. ”

Meng Chenxue's spirit was bright in an instant, all her worries disappeared, and the rest had deeper thoughts...... "Is he dangerous?" ”

"Is there anything he did that wasn't dangerous?" Li Jing asked with a smile.

Meng Chenxue blushed, and muttered after a while: "I don't know where he went?" ”

Although she believed what Li Jing said, and knew that Xiao Buyi would definitely not be a perfunctory person, she was happy to hear even the slightest news from Xiao Buyi. When she saw Li Jing for the first time, she only saw that he was not angry and arrogant, but she was not bad at all, but she was afraid that Li Jing would refuse to say it, so she had to talk to herself.

Li Jing said directly: "Shibi Khan went south, he went to the border to report the news, it should be Yanmen, I don't know what he is doing now, but you can rest assured, people like him can't die." ”

Meng Chenxue was a little disappointed, and glanced at the soldiers behind Li Jing, "Second brother, you have come from afar, why don't you come to the Mengchen clan as a guest?" ”

She loves the house and Wu, since Li Jing is Xiao Buyi's second brother, she is naturally her second brother, Xiao Buyi can't come, she always has to greet Li Jing.

Li Jing shook his head, "I still have other things to do, this time I came here, it's just a sentence to explain Buyi, after that, I'm going to leave." ”

He said that he was leaving, but his feet were like nails, Meng Chenxue was a little puzzled, and glanced up at Li Jing, "Then I wish the second brother a smooth journey." ”

Li Jing smiled and turned around to leave, Meng Chenxue suddenly remembered something, and shouted urgently: "Second brother, wait a minute, I want to ask you to bring a word." ”

Li Jingxin said, I'm just waiting for your words, why do you have to think about it when I turn around?

"Say."

Meng Chenxue's face turned red and murmured: "Second brother, if you see him, just tell him, I have always missed him." ”

Li Jing laughed, "He has always missed you, and you have always missed him, but why can't we be together?" He went to the border to report the news, do you also have this mission? ”

Meng Chenxue smiled dumbly and said: "Second brother, I, I'm just afraid of becoming a burden to him, I won't do anything, he is a big hero, and there are always things that can't be done." You tell him that I have been waiting for him, hopefully, hoping that he will be free to come to the Mengchen tribe! ”

She took a step forward and handed the sachet to Li Jing again, "This, since he doesn't want to return it to me, I'll trouble the second brother to give it to him again." ”

Li Jing stretched out his hand to take it, shook his head, but he had already turned around and got on the horse, glanced at Meng Chenxue, and swung his mixed iron gun, "Let's go." ”

Meng Chenxue was a little reluctant to see Li Jing leaving, and he couldn't help but thank him in his heart when he saw him turning west. Obviously, Li Jing did go there on purpose, and when he saw that their soldiers were dusty, their temples were stained with dust, and they looked like they had fought repeatedly, which was very hard. Li Jing only brought troops here for Xiao Buyi's words, so in his mind, Xiao Buyi and her are very important positions.

Sun Shaofang rode on his horse, and finally came over and asked, "Li Juncheng, where are we going now?" ”

Li Jing said without hesitation: "Turkic tooth tent." ”

**Yanmen City has been besieged for more than ten days, and the corpses under the city, the ownerless horses, and the Turkic soldiers are still besieging Yanmen City all over the mountains, but few people are interested in charging and attacking the city.

The city has become more terrifying than the hell of Abi, going there means death, they come all the way to ask for money, not to give their lives, their lives are gone, what is the use of asking for money?

Although the siege of Yanmen this time was mainly Turkic soldiers, at least a dozen non-Turkic tribes also sent soldiers and horses, these people combined, at least half of the number, they came for profit, only thought about looting every day, and really did not have much interest in attacking the city.

Shibi Khan frowned, looking at the big city in front of him, and his heart was also anxious. In these dozens of years, he is familiar with the methods of attacking the city, if he can do it again, he has the tools to attack the city, maybe he can conquer the city in one fell swoop.

Set up cloud ladders to attack the city, climb with hooks and cables, grab the ground, and attack the city with bullets and stones, but he has a good plan, and people have a wall ladder. He found nothing but the countless corpses he left behind. Now that the army is tired of war, if it weren't for the suppression of his elite soldiers, these soldiers would have disappeared without a trace. Last night, countless Kong Ming lanterns were suddenly released in the city, and they also fell in their military array, on which were written a few words that said King Qin killed thieves, and meritorious service will be rewarded, although it was not too useful, but Shibi Khan knew that there was not much time left for him, although Yanmen County was captured by him Thirty-nine cities, but the original land was vast, and the soldiers of each county would slowly rush over. Now they are strong, and if they still can't take the city in one go, and if they do it again, I'm afraid they will be exhausted.

"Khan, someone sent you a letter." One of his men hurried over, handed over a letter, and whispered a few more words in his ear.

Shibi Khan frowned, opened the letter, just looked at it, only the brow was locked tighter, and said in a low voice: "Is this method feasible?" ”

His subordinates also lowered their voices, "Khan, if you want to talk about attacking the city, we are not good at it, but their strategy of fighting in the nest of the Central Plains people must be good." ”

Shibi Khan nodded, read the letter carefully, showed a little joy on his face, and shouted: "Pass the order, from now on, each tribe will send thousands of troops to attack the city from all sides, day and night, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" Whoever gets on the wall first will be rewarded with a thousand taels. ”

The horn blew up, the military orders were conveyed layer by layer, and all the ethnic groups looked at each other, but they had to obey.

Shibi Khan leaned into the ear of that subordinate, lowered his voice and said, "Xi Yumo, you bring three thousand men......"

His voice was vague and solemn, and he nodded again and again, his spirit was bright, and he quickly summoned people and disappeared into the darkness.

Shibi Khan saw that Xi Yue Mo was gone, but he sighed inexplicably, and in the sound of the horn, a group of Turkic soldiers rode to the city wall, one after another, and the arrows at the head of the city rained down, swearing to resist the enemy. According to his intelligence, the soldiers defending the city are only about 20,000, why has he attacked for so long, and there is still no sign of decay, Shibi Khan always does not understand the details of the city, if this plan is not successful, how can he be good?

In the twilight, Shibi Khan didn't know that there was the king of the Great Sui standing on the battlements, but he was looking at the soldiers under the city, and his expression was also tired and lonely.......
