Tusozo looked around suspiciously, waved his arm sharply, and shouted: "Search! ”

He brought with him the most elite warriors of the tribe, although there were only more than a hundred people, but all of them were extraordinary. Hearing his order, the Turks drew their bright scimitars in a moment, scattered along the tent, and searched through the dense grass. The swords in their hands swung from time to time, cutting through the clumps of grass and dead branches, and pushed forward at a rapid pace.

"Could it be that she's back?!" Looking at the pace of the warriors of the clan, Tusozo muttered to himself, and a few bright and excited lights flashed in his eyes

Zhao Kangning's face was blue and swollen, and his complexion was pale. It's just that he is under the roof and has to bow his head, and the hope of returning to Dahua is all in this Turkic right king, how dare he offend Tusuozzo? This whip can only be received alive.

Hearing Tu Sozuo talking to himself, the little prince gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and said, "My lord, what are you looking for?" ”

His words and deeds did not seem to exceed Tusozo's expectations, and the young Turkic right king glanced at him and said slowly: "Looking for a taste." ”

Seeing that Tu Suozuo was no longer rude, Zhao Kangning temporarily found some comfort, covered his cheeks and said, "A taste? My lord, can you elaborate on that?! ”

Tusozo laughed twice: "It's about the woman Tusozo likes, you won't understand it if you say it." ”

Zhao Kangning hurriedly smiled and said, "I see!! The woman who can be favored by you, Lord Youwang, must be smart, wise, and beautiful like a fairy, just like the most splendid kapok on the grassland. Corning wishes all the adults a success and an early fulfillment of their ambitions! ”

This sentence seemed to be extremely effective, and a few smiles bloomed on Tu Suozuo's face, and he patted Zhao Kangning on the shoulder and said, "Not only that, she is a hundred times stronger than you think-Little Lord, I also know that you are worried about the front-line war." I was too excited, and I missed it for a while, so please don't take it to heart. ”

"Where. Where," the little prince was flattered, and clenched his fists again and again: "What the right king has just taught is that Kang Ning is in a hurry, and there is indeed something wrong." ”

Tusozo snorted a few times: "Early tomorrow morning, 100,000 elites will gallop to the front line." At this time, if I make abnormal demands on the national teacher, others will definitely think that I am a coward, which is obviously justified. Eventually, it will become unreasonable, and I Sotuzo will not do such stupid things. If what you just reported is true. Badru is indeed taking the opportunity to suppress our warriors, and I will report to the Great Khan at the appropriate time, believing that the Great Khan will punish the traitors impartially. Give back a fair one to the warriors of our people! ”

With this sentence, it was worth the whip just now. Zhao Kangning was overjoyed, bowed down and clenched his fists: "Kangning is the father under Jiuquan, and the people of Dahua who are suffering on behalf of him, thank you for your kindness." ”

"Do you still need to thank you," Tusozo helped him up slightly: "You are also thinking about the khanate, although your words are a little too radical." But even if it reaches the ears of the Great Khan. No one will blame you either. ”

Except for a gleeful nod. Zhao Kangning could no longer find words to describe his mood at the moment.

The two had spoken a few words, and the Turkic warrior in charge of the search had returned. Holding a few bunches of ** flowers and plants in his hand, ticking and overflowing with water droplets.

"Right King, no abnormalities have been found in the grass. The warriors only fished up these flowers and plants in the Wu Lake, which are common by the lake, and may be discarded by the herdsmen of the tribe. ”

Zhao Kangning had been in the Turks for some time, barely able to understand the words of this warrior.

Tusozo took the water-soaked flowers and plants, put them next to his nose and sniffed them a few times, and only after a long time did he breathe a long sigh of relief and slowly shook his head, but the joy on his face was difficult to suppress: "Is it her?!" It's time too, she should be back!! ”

"Congratulations to Lord Right!" Zhao Kangning heard it clearly beside him, how could he give up this opportunity to shoot horses in front of him.

Looking at the tightly tied flowers, Tusozo shook his head and smiled, his dark blue eyes were full of brilliance, and muttered to himself: "Now your identity is different, but you still like to laugh and play so much!" ”

The young and heroic Turkic Right King took a deep breath, and the gentle smile on his face made people stunned.

Zhao Kangning's eyes blinked, obviously thinking about what kind of woman who could make a grassland hero like Tusuozo break his heart. He glanced left and right, puzzled: "Lord Right Wang, do you mean that the princess is near here?!" ”

Zhao Kangning is a slippery head, and he called the princess so soon. Tusozo laughed and shook his head: "The little prince is mistaken, she can't be my princess!" ”

No way? Are you still so happy? Zhao Kangning was puzzled.

Tusozo didn't explain, and sighed with a smile: "I grew up with her in the steppe, and she is the most beautiful and outstanding woman in our Turkic century. Intelligent, incomparable, decisive, with a unique personality, she never likes others to inquire about her whereabouts. It was an unexpected surprise for us to see these flowers in Wuhu Lake today! However, as far as I guess, if there is no accident, she will return to the royal court in a few days. After all, the big day is coming. ”

Speaking of the big day, Tusozo had a few excited smiles on his face, and his eyes were full of longing. Zhao Kangning hurriedly said:

My lord, what a big day?! ”

Tusozo laughed and shook his head. One of the entourages beside him shouted dissatisfiedly: "Little Prince Zhao, you have been in the Khanate for so long, don't you know that every spring, our royal court will have a sheep holding competition?!" ”

―

Sheep Hunting Contest? Zhao Kangning suddenly realized, hurriedly clenched his fists, and said respectfully: "I see." Kang Ning hereby congratulates the right king, the victory, the horse to success. In the coming day, Corning will send the most luxurious pearls produced by Dahua to congratulate you on a good day! ”

"Good, good!" Tusozo laughed loudly, his eyes full of joy—

"General, do you want to do it now?!" After diving underwater for a long time, away from Tusozo's tent, Xu Zhen emerged from the water, let out a long breath, and made a gesture excitedly. His face was full of fierceness.

Tusozo, the right king of the Turks, who came suddenly, was an out-and-out big fish. If you can kill him, it will be equivalent to cutting off the right arm of the Turks, besides. and Zhao Kangning, who sold his ancestors for glory. It's even more hateful. If you can take all these two people, it will be a double win, no wonder Xu Zhen's eyes are full of golden light.

Raising his eyes and looking at the other side, the Turks and Zhao Kangning were talking happily. The hundreds of elite guards of the Right King have gradually increased the patrol range, and even a team of guards has been stationed on the lake. Lin Wanrong shook his head slowly: "This Tusuozo is not a straw bag like Sheng Dan, he is extremely cautious. The camping formation is also very elaborate, with campfires set up on the shore of the lake and tents away from the water's edge. It's impossible to close. And then there are hundreds of elite desperate guards, as long as there is a slight wind and grass. He can run away. ”

Xu Zhen carefully looked at Tusuozao's camp. Indeed, as Lin Wanrong said, the right king of the Turks made a move, which is indeed extraordinary. Their tents were well spaced apart, implying a defensive position. Hundreds of people from the Turkic Guard. It is the elite of the Hu people. All of them are powerful and experienced in a hundred battles. The range of patrols. It has expanded to hundreds of feet around, and no matter which direction it attacks, it will be exposed under their noses. It may be difficult for them to hold on, but it is not difficult for them to escape.

Xu Zhen sighed helplessly, his face was stupid. Lin Wanrong patted him on the shoulder. Said solemnly: "Xiao Xu." You have to remember. Our goal is not just one Tusozo, but the entire Turkic court! Capture of Kizil. That is the most direct and powerful blow to the Hu people! As for Tusozo and Zhao Kangning, there will be time to clean them up! ”

Xu Zhen's expression was shocked, and he nodded hurriedly: "The general is right, we should give up the small land and grasp the land at this time, then it will be enjoyable." ”

Lin Wanrong patted him on the shoulder and laughed a few times. From the conversation between Zhao Kangning and Tusuozuo, it has been learned that the 100,000 Hu people gathered on the outskirts of Kizil are about to rush to the front line of Helan Mountain, and it seems that Xu Zhiqing is indeed trying her best to attract the enemy's attention and cooperate with Lin Wanrong's action.

He climbed ashore, counted the men and horses, set up the secret sentry, and hurried back.

Hu Bugui, Gao Chief, and Li Wuling were already impatient, and when they saw them coming back, they immediately surrounded them happily: "General Lin, is there any news ahead?!" ”

Lin Wanrong nodded and told what she had seen and heard in the lake, and everyone was dumbfounded. Just one Zhao Kangning is enough to be mysterious, plus a weighty Turkic right king Tusuozao, General Lin came out, and the effect is really immediate.

"This dog thing that sells his ancestors for glory!" Chief Gao scolded indignantly, and the object was Zhao Kangning, the former son of King Cheng.

Hu Bugui said with a smile: "Provoking the Turkic kings, and even persuading Tu Suozuo to stand on his own, the little prince really has some guts!" ”

Lin Wanrong sighed: "Zhao Kangning doesn't need to say it, sooner or later someone will clean him up." I didn't expect this Tusozo to be so young, less than thirty years old, to become a Turkic right king with brilliant military achievements! ”

Hu Bugui said in a deep voice: "Tu Suozuo is definitely not to be underestimated. He inherited his father's business at the age of thirteen, and in less than 20 years, he managed his tribe into one of the largest tribes in the Turkic region. This man was extremely ambitious, determined, and good-looking, and had a great reputation within the Turks, and at the age of thirty he was comparable to the aging Badru. Although I have not directly fought with him, the reputation of the right king of the Turks has long been like thunder. ”

It turns out that this Tusozo has been fighting for almost twenty years, more than twenty times more than mine, ashamed, ashamed. Lin Wanrong laughed a few times: "Since Tusozo is so strong, how did the heavy task of attacking Helan Mountain fall on Badru?" ”

"This is called ginger is old and spicy. The Badru tribe is the first Turkic tribe, and even Lu Dongzan is from this tribe, how can they let the military power fall? In order to attack Dahua, the Turks gathered all their forces, and Tusozo wanted to hand over his most trusted tribal warriors to Commander Badru, you say, can he feel better? This Turkic left king and right king fought each other, and it is said that it began with Tusozo's father. ”

No wonder Zhao Kangning dared to sow discord with confidence and boldness, it turned out that there were so many doors and doorways in it, and Tu Suozo was indeed aggrieved enough. Lin Wanrong snorted, and suddenly said, "Brother Hu, have you seen the Turkic Khan?!" ”

Hu Bugui shook his head and sighed: "The Turkic Khan is far away in Kizil, and we have not even entered the steppe before. How can you see the Great Turkic Khan? Not only me, but even Li Tai, who fought with the Hu people all his life. I haven't seen what the Turkic Khan looks like. Having said that, how many Turks have seen the appearance of our emperor? ”

Lao Hu's metaphor is very interesting. Lin Wanrong nodded and smiled: "So so." It is highly likely that we will be the first to see the great Chinese of the Turkic Khanate?! ”

Several people laughed out loud. There was a faint longing in my heart. It's not a joke. Just take Kizil. Don't say look at the Turkic Khan, even capture him alive and skin him alive. It's not impossible.

The Turks once sent Lu Dongzan as an envoy. went to Dahua to ask Princess Nishang for marriage. They must have been forty or fifty years old. Lin Wanrong shook her head. Zhengse said: "According to Tu Suozuo and Zhao Kangning's words. The 100,000-strong army on the outskirts of Kizil will rush to the front tomorrow. So, how many men will Lu Dongzan leave for the Turkic royal court?! ”

Everyone looked at each other. This question. I'm afraid only Lu Dongzan can answer. Hu Bugui was most familiar with the habits of the Turkic people. I thought about it for a moment. He whispered: "Kizil is no better than other places, this is the Turkic royal court." It is the top priority of the Hu people's guards. Although it is close to the Altai Mountains. It has never been attacked, but the Hu people take it lightly. It's not too lax. According to the estimates of the last general. Lu Dongzan will leave at least 10,000 or so goblin riders. Just in case. Plus the city defense forces. Kizil should have more than 20,000 men. ”

The no-return estimate is justified. On the steppe. The Turkic Iron Cavalry of 10,000 people is already an unstoppable force. And then there's the city defense. In addition, the strong men in the city, the Turkic royal court guarded. Definitely more than 20,000 people.

With 5,000 men and horses, he fought for 20,000 Turks. Or siege warfare. Fools know how difficult it is. Even if you are determined to die. You can't die in vain. Lin Wanrong's brows tightened.

The Battle of Kizil. It may be their last battle, and it will definitely be a battle that will go down in history. It doesn't matter how it ends. These 5,000 soldiers have been remembered in the annals of history. But as a commander in the middle of the game. Minimize the cost in exchange for the maximum victory. It will always be his duty.

Everyone gradually quieted down and looked at Lin Wanrong silently. At such a critical moment. He decides every time. will decide the fate of 5,000 soldiers.

The atmosphere was quietly a little depressing. Lin Wanrong slowly paced a few steps. Suddenly stopped. He raised his head and asked, "Brother Hu, have you ever heard of the sheep holding competition?!" ”

Sheep Hunting Contest? Everyone was stunned at the same time. Hu Bugui hurriedly nodded and said, "I heard it." Heard. This is the most famous event on the grassland. ”

"Oh?" Lin Wanrong said with great interest: "This sheep." What the hell is the method? ”

"Prairie sheep hunting contest. To put it bluntly. It's almost the same as our Dahuadi competition to recruit relatives! ”

"Martial arts competition?! I just love hearing this. Chief Gao's eyes suddenly lit up, and his interest soared: "How can you get involved with holding sheep and recruiting relatives." Lao Hu said quickly. ”

Lao Hu nodded. said with a smile: "The customs of the Hu people are different from our Dahua. We pay attention to the orders of our parents and the words of matchmakers, but Hu Renna, they advocate free communication. Men and women meet and fall in love with each other, all out of nature. ”

"That's good." Li Wuling hurriedly clapped his hands: "It's just the appetite of Brother Lin." He went on a hundred blind dates. It can be a hundred and one. ”

Lin Wanrong rolled her eyes. Everyone laughed.

"This kind of free love is a good thing. However, there was an imbalance between men and women among the various Turkic tribes. And everywhere on the grassland. It's not easy to meet. Therefore, it was originally used to celebrate the harvest of sheep and sheep. It was changed to be held in the spring, and it became a blind date meeting for Hu people. At that time, unmarried women will be landed in various parts of the grassland. will go to watch the sheep holding conference. Pick your own sweetheart. It doesn't matter if you are a prince or a nobleman, or a commoner. You can all go to this sheep holding competition. In order to ensure fairness and prevent persecution afterwards. Participate in the warriors of the sheep land. Cover your head and face with a black cloth. Marked with a number. The first to arrive at the destination with sheep is the current grassland warrior. And the most noble woman. You can directly choose the best warrior as a good son-in-law. ”

Masked sheep?! That's exciting! Lin Wanrong grinned and said: "The Turks are really creative, where is this holding sheep, it is clearly holding a lang." ”

While everyone was laughing, Hu Bugui was suddenly startled, and said with great joy: "General, are you going to take advantage of this sheep holding competition?!" ”
