In Sulman's mansion, two men were greeted in the courtyard, wearing wide robes and sleeves, and sunshade felt hats. Surman dismounted and said, "Princess, it's them. ”

Aguli grabbed the reins, glanced at the two men, bent down and dismounted, threw the whip to his attendants, and walked forward.

The two of them stepped forward quickly, looking at the lord of Ganzhou as they went. The woman in front of her is dressed in a white robe, with a playful and lovely curly ear hat on her head, three peacock feathers are obliquely inserted on the top of the hat, swaying in the wind, the skin seems to reflect the snow in the morning glow, the beautiful and incomprehensible things, the eyes are flexible, the eye waves are flowing, the lips and teeth are white, and the nose is like a gall, there is simply no place that is not beautiful.

The two didn't dare to look at it more, so they hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "I have seen the princess, and the two of them have admired the name of Princess Aguli for a long time......

Princess Aguli didn't listen to their sycophants, cut off their words, and asked lightly, "What do you mean?" Don't even have a name? ”

One of them smiled and said, "Princess, you haven't understood the princess's intentions yet, for safety reasons, we R Aguli interrupted them again: "Who are you here on?" ”

The man smiled bitterly: "Princess, this matter is very serious, before we can clarify the princess's intentions" "It is inconvenient for us to tell our names and surnames, as for the people behind us, of course, it is even more ......" He is not finished) Aguli turned around and left) The two shouted in surprise ="Princess."

Aguli sneered: "Yù shares a big plan with me, but I don't even dare to tell my name and surname, what kind of big things can I achieve in such a rat generation, I deign to be committed." Sulman, in the future, such goods sè, do not introduce to me. ”

As soon as Aguli leaned in, he had deftly pulled the saddle on the horse, and as soon as he lifted the reins, he turned the horse's head, and one of the guards immediately offered the horsewhip with both hands, and Aguli took the whip and slapped the horse's stock with a "poof", but it hit one of the two people on the sleeve of the man's coat, but turned his head but one of the two raised his hand to stop him.

The man laughed and said, "Princess, we are far from seeing you, can't we show our sincerity?" As for our identity and intentions, please dismount the princess, and let's talk about it for a while. If the princess thinks that this is too dangerous and is afraid to take responsibility, then she doesn't know our identity and wants to withdraw, wouldn't it be convenient for everyone? ”

Aguli raised her eyebrows and sneered: "Don't provoke me, although Aguli is a woman, but in front of the ten thousand horses, she has never been inferior to any man, there are only things I don't want to do in this world, and there are no things I dare not do." You two must have already told him about your origin and identity, otherwise, it would not be easy for him to convince me, so why hide it now? ”

Sulman's face turned red when he heard this, and Aguli clearly blamed him for reaching a certain level of cooperation with the other party without consulting him, but he did already know the identity of the other party and the overall plan. If it was before, he and Agul's tribe were under the rule of the Ganzhou Khan, the two sides were just closer, and the relationship of alliance and mutual assistance was not subordinate to each other, of course, there was no need to ask Princess Aguli for instructions on everything, and now Aguli is the head of the Ganzhou Hui ordered by the imperial court, and he hid Aguli to contact other forces privately, and it is inevitable that anyone will be displeased.

He said loudly to the two who were still a little stumbling: "Li Lingxiao, Wei Zhongzheng, since the two of you have invited the princess here, you don't need to be so vigilant.

When Yang Hao besieged Ganzhou twice, the Hui tribes suffered heavy casualties, and my two sons all died tragically under Yang Hao's Mo knife array, the princess charged into battle several times, and the tribesmen died on the battlefield countless times, and we have a common hatred with Yang Hao.

Not to mention, after Yang Hao's thief established the country and became the emperor, he was arrogant and extravagant, and did what he did, when the princess went to Xingzhou to meet him, he actually had bad intentions and plotted against him, and he was able to get out of it thanks to the princess's machine, and the thief tried to succeed in his mind, so he found all kinds of excuses to oppress my Ganzhou, and separated my Ganzhou tribes and moved to Xingzhou, if it weren't for my Ganzhou's own strength is not Yang Hao's opponent, the princess would have already led me to wait against him Yang Hao, what are you still hesitating about? ”

That Li Lingxiao and Wei Zhong looked at each other head-on, they had already put their plans together with Suerman's guide-0 Because Suerman's two sons died in the hands of Yang Hao's army, for the survival of his tribe, he could submit to Yang Hao under power, but it was absolutely impossible to be loyal to Yang Hao, once he had the opportunity, he could become the vanguard against Yang Hao. The grassland tribe pays attention to absolute strength, and there is no saying of those kings and ministers in the Central Plains, even if there is no hatred between each other, "When the strength of his tribe surpasses the other party, he will not hesitate to replace the other party, this law is the eternal principle of the grassland."

Therefore, they found Sulman, and after initial contact and a little temptation, they quickly revealed their identity and purpose to him, and they did not have this confidence in Princess Agul, the main reason is: she is a woman, she may hate Yang Hao, but she does not have so much ambition, and if she has no ambition, she will have no motivation, whether she can become an ally, the two of them still want to touch her bottom.

I didn't expect this woman to be like a proud peacock, acting so strongly, and Suerman called out their names again, even if they didn't say it, as long as Aguli inquired carefully, she would definitely be able to grasp their identity and origin, so the two glanced at each other and finally regressed.

Li Lingxiao sighed and said: "Princess Aguli, if you don't want to speak out, it's really because this matter is very important, and once you make a mistake, it will be a bloody storm all over the sky." Well, we'll tell the princess everything, but ......"

Li Lingxiao became serious: "Pay off the princess and make a heavy oath to the wolf god you believe in, and you must not let anyone know about the conversation between us!" This is because the matter is too important, please forgive the princess! ”

The Hui royal family of Ganzhou believed in Shanman, that is, a branch of shamanism, they believed in the gods of heaven and earth, and regarded the wolf god as the master of the tribe, and the wolf god was like the white stone god in the Qiang people's hearts, supreme.

When Princess Aguli heard this, she shrank her wrist emblem and hid a string of Buddhist beads on her wrist. Since she abandoned her wife before the battle and trapped her to death, she gave up the same faith as Yeluosu, and it happened that Buddhism, Catholicism, and Islam all began to compete for believers in the Western Xia, and she ...... She had converted to Buddhism not long ago, and she felt that the faith of the Buddha would give her peace of mind, but very few people knew about it, except for a few personal maids and her teacher. Now, she didn't mind swearing a poisonous oath to the god she believed in by the person she hated most in her life.

Aguli raised her left hand, revealing a sweet smile that was so charming that it was intoxicating: "Okay, I, Aguli, swear to the greatest wolf god between heaven and earth...... "Longyou, past Liupan Mountain, through Jiuyang Village, is the victory fort where Shang Boqian is now." A team of more than 50,000 people was on their way to Fort Victory.

This huge army has a variety of weapons and clothing, some wear the clothes of the mountain people in the Bashu area, some wear ordinary Hanfu, some wear the armor uniforms of the Song army forbidden army and the box army, and many wear the robes of the local Tubo people in Longyou.

Most of the war horses under their crotch are tall and sturdy horses, compared with the northern horse breeds with long-term endurance, the horses in the Western Regions are burly and strong, more attractive, and their short-range sprint ability is better than that of the northern horse breeds, and the northern horses can be said to have their own merits.

Walking in the procession was the leader of two people dressed in the armor of the generals of the Song army, one was thin and thin, and his face was full of fine pockmarks, but his appearance! It's a little ugly, but between his demeanor, he is dignified and has a murderous aura that has been battle-hardened for a long time, but it is difficult for people to notice his flaws in appearance. The other general beside him was a strong man, with ringed eyebrows and leopard eyes, a beard like thorns, and a fierce and mighty one.

Accompanying them were two Tubo-headed people, their faces were black and red, their contours were as clear as knives, they were dressed in leather robes, their waist knives were slanted into their waists, and their braids were full of gold and silver jewelry.

This team is the Bashu Righteous Army led by Scimitar Xiaoliu and Tie Niu, who have traveled to several places and fought repeatedly, and the 80,000 army when they left Bashu has been reduced to 50,000, but although the number is small, they have been tempered by war for a long time, and the advance army has more than one level of fighting will and combat ability compared to before.

After the inexplicable assassination and death of King Guangmei in Chang'an, they lost their cooperation in aid and intelligence, and their situation began to become difficult. However, the road back to Bashu in the south has been blocked by the army of the Luo Ke enemy, and the imperial soldiers and horses also expected that once they fail, they are likely to flee south back to Shu, so they have already made various deployments along the way, and once they really return to the south, they will inevitably fall into the ambush of the imperial court soldiers and horses.

In this case, Hu Xi'er made a bridge between them and Shang Boqian, so Xiaoliu led the army north, entered Longyou, broke through the Qinchuan Song army's defense line, and fled into the territory of the Tubo people. Shang Boqian sent troops to fight a battle with them, and the "defeated" scimitar Xiaoliu surrendered and surrendered to Shang Boqian, and at this moment, they went to the Victory Fort to meet the overlord of Longyou. Fort of Victory - built in the middle of the mountain, all built with huge stones, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

At this moment, on the top of the Victory Castle, two people were looking into the distance, looking at a long line rolling in.

The person in front of the head was burly, with a broad forehead, a straight nose, a purple and black face with oil, the whole cheeks were resolute and upright, and the eyes were sharp and full of strength. His expression and temperament are a bit majestic and solemn in the wild, and when he stands on the top of the fort, he is like an indestructible statue made of cast iron. This person is Shang Boqian, the overlord of Longyou.

Half a step behind him, there stood an ordinary-looking man in his thirties, on him! He is also wearing a black sè robe similar to Shang Boqian, with one sleeve hanging casually at his side, but at first glance he is a Han person, and his eyes are a little jīng Ming and slippery, this person is the steward of the Qi Palace, the successor to the heir of the Tang Yin Sect Zheng Xi'er Zheng Xi'er, the pseudonym Hu Xi'er The person who wanders the world. "Hehe, good, good, there are 50,000 jīng soldiers, with this jīng soldier looking at the entire Longyou, no one is my opponent!" Shang Boqian couldn't help but show a little joy as he watched the team get closer and closer.

Hu Xi'er smiled and said: "Originally, this group of people was prepared for Zhao Guangmei, there are Dasan Pass in the west, Hangu Pass in the east, Kunguan Pass in the north, and Wuguan Pass in the south. There are also Jing, Wei, Feng, waterlogging, Shanghai, Wei, Gao, orange eight water poured Chang'an, fertile fields for thousands of miles. As long as Zhao Guangmei takes the prince Defang to Chang'an and sets up a banner to crusade against Zhao Jiong, with the power of the Longyouxiang army that he has mastered, plus this army, he only needs to hold the two gates in the east and south, and he can stand on his heels and compete with Zhao Jiong.

At that time, I also wanted to let Lord Shang Boqian cooperate with Longyou and assist him in calling the emperor the country, but unfortunately the mandate of heaven was not there, and this army finally made a wedding dress for Lord Shang Boqian. ”

Shang Boqian stroked his beard and laughed, but suddenly remembered the jade seal that had fallen into his hands, and his heart suddenly felt a little unhappy.

He glanced at Hu Xi'er and said, "I heard that you and the Cui family had an incident?" Your Zheng family has helped me a lot, but is there anything you need my help with? If I want to send troops to the Central Plains now, it can't be done, but the 800 swordsmen I personally trained are not just heroes on the battle array, if you need manpower, you just have to speak. ”

Hu Xi'er showed a shallow smile on her face, bowed slightly, and said, "Thank you, Lord Shang Boqian, but the dispute with the Cui family still doesn't need the help of adults." Speaking of this, his eyes showed a little coldness: "We only went to the Great Song Dynasty to leak some news slightly, and then with the help of the Song Court, we dealt a heavy blow." Now, the foundation of the Cui family in Qingzhou has been destroyed, and the imperial court is painting shadows and figures, and the Cui clan is being killed everywhere, hum! Although they are well-informed and can escape quickly, they can no longer want to be in front of others. If we are enemies of the Zheng family, we will make him pay. ”

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps, and it stopped not far behind the two, and Shang Boqian turned around and said, "What's the matter?" ”

The man stroked his chest and said: "My lord, the big head of Wang Mud Pig defeated Luo Dan at Huining Pass, Luo Dan's department fled westward, Wang Rufeng, Di Haijing, Barcelona, and Zhang Jun The four leaders pursued the Liugu Domain on the order of Lord Wang Mud Pig and entered the territory of Yeluosu, and were obstructed by the generals of the Yeluosu Department, and the four leaders rushed to the camp of the Yeluosu Department in one fell swoop, but because of the delay in time, they did not catch up with the Dan. The night fell into a rage and sent the envoy to blame the adults. Now the envoy is in the hall, and Lord Bald Tong is entertaining, and the villain asks the adult's disposition opinion. ”

Shang Boqian smiled coldly: "The territory of the night Luofu? The entire Longyou is mine, when will the west of Ningguan become his territory? Who assigned it to him? Hum! I've put up with him for a long time, and he's been getting too late. Cut off the ears of his messengers for me and blast out my fortress of victory! Tell Wang Mud Pig to reward Wang Rufeng, Di Haijing, Barcelona and other four people, what I need is such a talent who dares to fight! ”

Shang Boqian pointed to the fort and said triumphantly: "Go, let him come at night to make me suddenly increase by 50,000 jīng soldiers, with a group of rabble he drew in Qinghai cháo, is it my opponent!" If he doesn't know each other yet......

Shang Boqian's eyes sharpened, and a murderous aura appeared on his face: "I, Shang Boqian, don't hesitate to fight and fight him!" At the foot of Gaolan Mountain, not far from Lanzhou City.

In the twilight, the big and round red sun slowly sets, and the herds, driven by the herdsmen, gather like clouds from all directions to the temporary camp of zhōngyāng. Smoke rises, fires burn on the grassland, and melodious singing wafts between the top felt tents, accompanied by the mouth-watering smell of meat.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it might be hard to believe that such a leisurely scene was actually a defeat for a thousand miles, and a tribe that had just set up camp was the Tubo Liugu Domain.

Luo Dan suffered a defeat, in the face of Shang Boqian's increasingly powerful strength, he was already a little unable to parry, Prince Chibangsong's clan was not in Longyou, and his help was limited, in terms of force, there was still a considerable gap between him and Shang Boqian. However, he did not regret his choice, when he was originally in Hexi, his situation was not better than now, he did not have a fixed territory, he never had a Liangzhou, and he could not accommodate so many people. Lingzhou in the east is the world of the party and JJ people, and Ganzhou in the west is the world of the Hui people.

In fact, without Yang Hao's support and help, he also had the heart to go to Longyou to fight a piece of the world, but he had more than enough strength to do so, at this time he got Yang Hao's help and was able to move to Longyou smoothly, as for Yang Hao's thoughts, he didn't want to think about it, he understood very well that this was a kind of mutual use, he got what he wanted, Yang Hao got what Yang Hao wanted, and each took what he needed.

When he first arrived in Longyou, he developed very quickly, but with Shang Boqian's control and integration of Wang Muzhu, Bald Tong and other tribes, Shang Boqian's power became stronger and stronger, and in the head-on conflict, he began to gradually succumb to the upper hand, and this time he was defeated and fled to the vicinity of Lanzhou.

With three gangs of heroes, Shang Boqian has helpers, and Rodin begins to realize that he can no longer fight alone, and he also needs to find an ally.

In the distance, there was a sudden sound of horses, and the cattle and sheep that were rushing back to the camp one after another were like clouds blown away by the wind, flashing a road, and more than 100 jīng horses galloped in, and Rodin led a group of tribal leaders and leaders to stand in front of the big tent in the middle, looking at the more than 100 horses that hurried in the distance.

On their side, cauldrons and fire pits were set up on both sides of the felt tents, and the whole cattle and sheep were golden and shiny, and the meat was full of aroma, and the fresh green wild vegetables had been cleaned, and baskets of water droplets were served. The men came closer, and Rodin, with a friendly smile on his face, led the clan leaders forward and greeted them warmly.

The oncoming more than 100 horses were surrounded by an old man wearing stripes and a crown in the middle, this person was Rodin's old opponent, who had beaten him to the ground, and could be called the first overlord of the 18 states in Hexi, and the most powerful Ganzhou Khan was the night of Luo. The dragon is trapped in the shallows, the tiger is falling in Pingyang, and now the night is falling, and the situation does not seem to be much better than him. Therefore, a pair of enemies of life and death are now very sincere and want to conclude a brotherhood.

The grassland is full of stars, and the evening breeze in summer is a little dry. The people did not enter the tent, but they drank in front of the felt tent. The Tubo Liugu Domain and the Qinghai Lake Hui tribes met in victory under Gaolan in Longyou and became close comrades-in-arms, believing that after this alliance, they already had the ability to compete with Shang Bo Qianyi.

The big bowl of drinking, the short knife cutting the meat, a pair of calloused hands stained with oil, the night Luoqi brought barley wine, the wine jar is piled up, the former life and death of the old people are now hooking shoulders and backs, as if they have not met for many years, and the cordiality is incomprehensible.

Ye Luosu took a bite of the steaming lamb leg meat, wiped the juice from the corner of his mouth with a sweat towel, wiped his hands vigorously, picked up a large bowl of wine syrup, and said loudly: "Warriors of the Six Grains, today, I am a brother with your Luo Dantouren, from now on, we will share blessings and difficulties, and we will be a family." Come, everyone, drink this wine! ”

Everyone responded, raised the bowl and stood up, drank a large bowl of wine, Rodin did not want to drink the bowl of wine, he lifted the wine jar, first filled the night with it, and then poured himself full of wine, raised the giant spirit god-like palms and patted it, the girls who were singing and dancing immediately bent down and saluted, and retreated.

"Ladies and gentlemen, from today onwards, we, the Liugu Domain and the Great Khan of Yejing, are brothers in life and death. There is a night of sweating to help, and there is nothing to be afraid of. Come to the right of Longyou, there will be no place for Shang Bo Qian, our Liugu Domain is willing to cooperate with Qinghai Hui Hui Department Jīng Cheng, wait for Shang Bo Qian to give the head of the rì, divide the world equally, and forever tie the state of brothers! Dry! "When Ta Hao is the first to be the first of the tricks, my lord will share the world equally with you!"

Princess Aguli walked under the moon on her back, and her heart lingered from time to time with the words Li Lingxiao said, she didn't expect Li Lingxiao to be the person sent by Li Jiyun, Li Jiyun is now standing on his heels in Xiaoguan, and he can indeed wave his army north at any time and enter Xiazhou, but can his strength be compared with Yang Hao? Aguli felt that Li Jiyun must have a follow-up, and since he dared to assert so, he must have arranged manpower within Yang Hao, and Kuang's strength was the key to determining the victory.

"Yang Hao played with me, originally to lure out the disgruntled people within the Tuoba clan, clear up the miscellaneous differences, and consolidate the power, but I can't think of it...... But even my people jumped out. Sulman has already hooked up with them, and it seems that he has never forgotten the hatred of killing his son! Can I hand him over? If I do this, it is estimated that the solid Hun Department will be separated from me, and Hu Lao Wen Bi of the Luo Ge Department will also have a grudge against me, and Ganzhou will return to the world for three points, and at that time there will be no second way out except to take refuge in Yang Hao with all his heart. But Yang Hao, is he reliable? Will you cross the river and tear down the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey? ”

"But ......, I can't hand him over, and I can't pretend not to know, and I can't do what I want, do I really want to participate in it, against Yang Hao? It is good that his fate is in his own hands, but once he ......fails, Yang Hao will never tolerate the second betrayal, it is not a pity for Aguli to die alone, where should my thousands of people go. Buddha, I just want my people to live in peace and tranquility, and you have great compassion and tell your disciples, what should I do? ”

Aguli clasped her hands together, silently looked at the moon and prayed, suddenly, a figure quietly flashed not far away, quietly there, Aguli suddenly did not see, silently prayed, and then asked, "What is the matter?" ”

It was her personal maid, a partner who had grown up together since childhood, and the maid leaned over and said, "Princess, King Yang Hao came to Ganzhou secretly." Aguli was amazed and said, "What do you say?" ”

"King Yang Hao secretly came to Ganzhou and invited you to meet at the ruins of the Dayue Clan."

Aguli was so shocked that Hua Rong lost her face, and said in a lost voice: "Yang ...... Yang Hao, he came to Ganzhou? ”
