The autumn hunt of the Xue Yantuo people began as scheduled, and the envoys of the Tang Dynasty were among the invitees, and Xie Yi and Di Zhixun went as promised that day.

Since he was going to the wilderness, it was natural to bring the guards there, but these guards were unusual, except for the ordinary guards led by Sun Wukai, most of them were the Xie family guards selected by Yebei and Xueyi.

In the face of life and death, Xie Yi had to expose part of his personal strength, after all, nothing was as important as life.

In the northern steppes at the beginning of October, the morning mist shrouds the rolling hills in the distance, and the trees loom in the distance, which is the hunting ground for today's hunting.

According to the tradition of the Xue Yantuo people, there will be a little tradition of hunting, and a large group of soldiers and horses will be dispatched to drive the prey to that mountain forest for people to shoot.

Of course, this is not just a hunting game, but also a way to train soldiers and horses. There is no "Art of War" on the grassland, but the military strategic thinking of the grassland people is not bad at all, and they are also set in a set when they start a war.

The reason for this is that I learned from animals in my daily hunting, especially the wolves on the grassland, who are born military strategists.

As the Khan of Xue Yantuo, Yi Nan wanted to carry forward and promote this activity, and after a grunting speech, he rushed out and went straight to the hunting ground.

Dadu and Tu Li lost also followed, most of the people who came to congratulate him were grassland tribes, and they were already good at riding and shooting, so of course they didn't let it. Because Yi Nan had stated in advance that there would be a lot of rewards for those who hunted more today, so everyone could be said to be scrambling.

In this way, the Tang Mission fell to the end.

Xie Yi and Di Zhixun naturally didn't care about this, these so-called rewards were not attractive to Datang, even if Yi Nan moved a mountain of gold in front of them, I am afraid they would not take a second look.

Without it!

The premise of desperately earning money is to spend money with life, if you don't have that blessing to enjoy, why waste your efforts?

The most important thing now is to escape and ascend to heaven. Returning to Datang safely, nothing else matters. Today is a rare and good opportunity, where do you have the heart to do something boring.

It's rare to have a chance to come out, so it's natural to think about how to escape from the cage.

Living in a sweat tent, he is watched too closely in front of everyone, and even if there is more activity, there will be people watching closely, let alone planning to escape.

But today is different, shooting in the mountains and grasslands, there are always more opportunities to find an opportunity to escape. The soldiers and horses guarding the Xue Yantuo Khan's tent also dispersed, and some continued to guard the Khan's tent. Some of the khans and princes who followed them, as well as some soldiers and horses, went to participate in the hunt, but they were rarely dispersed, and their ability to keep an eye naturally decreased.

The grasslands and forests are vast, and it is difficult to block the roads and search, so there is still a good chance of escape.

Of course, at present, some of the envoys of the Tang Dynasty are closely watching, and there are even guards and guides sent by Xue Yantuo in the name of beauty. If you want to make any moves, you can't hide them for the time being.

So, whatever you do, you have to get rid of these tails first!

So don't worry about anything else, just follow the team. If you are too maverick and can be noticed, it will be difficult to get out or do some other small actions.

Along the way, Xie Yi and Di Zhixon showed that they were in a hurry. The appearance of struggling to catch up has successfully attracted many people's ideas. Of course, it was rightfully met with some cold eyes and ridicule. Especially the Gaochang envoy, who was extremely arrogant, but whenever he could find an opportunity, he sneered at the Tang envoy, and seemed to be trying his best to find superiority.

Seeing the face of Gao Chang's envoy, Xie Yi kept sneering in his heart, don't be happy too early, Gao Chang is just a clown jumping off the beam.

I remember that during the Zhenguan period, Hou Junji led an expedition and destroyed Gaochang through the desert. Hou Junji fell in the seventeenth year of Zhenguan's prince Li Chengqian's rebellion, and now it is the thirteenth year of Zhenguan.

Then the expedition to Gaochang should be in a certain period of time, carefully calculated, the good days of Gaochang people are not a few days, but they are grasshoppers after the autumn, and they are good to jump in a few days.

As for the envoys of the Western Turks, the little Khan of Hulu was as always, and he always had the attitude of not being surprised. only occasionally looked at the Tang envoys, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

Does it really matter?

According to the Turkic theory of profit and loss, Dadu Sheh and the Western Turks colluded with each other; Even if these words are watery, the role played by the Western Turks in them will not be glorious.

If the Xue Yantuo people want to make any changes, the first thing they need to deal with is the Western Turks, and without the support of the Western Turks, they will definitely not dare to act rashly. Otherwise, just worrying about being copied is a big problem.

However, the main goal of the Western Turks' envoy was to persuade the Xue Yantuo people to "share the same hatred" with them, so it is very likely that the two families will hit it off.

The Western Turks give more promises or practical benefits, especially the conditions that can impress Yi Nan, maybe the tangled Zhenzhu Khan will no longer be entangled.

Politics and diplomacy are the most treacherous things in the world, and it is entirely possible that the two families have something to do in secret. After all, at the moment, for Xue Yantuo, the biggest threat is not the Western Turks, but the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, they may have a bigger enemy, but it hasn't happened yet, and they don't care about it. Xie Yi had already seen this matter in his eyes, and he also had an idea, as long as he could escape safely this time, he would definitely start as soon as possible.

Alas!

In today's situation, Xie Yi really didn't know what to say.

Maybe he shouldn't be in such a hurry to stimulate Xue Yantuo, Tui'en Ling can be regarded as a fuse, a fuse connected to the powder keg.

Xie Yi felt like he was in a big disaster!

Although this trip to the grassland was an errand imposed on him by Li Shimin, according to the original plan, he might be able to complete the task smoothly.

Isn't it reasonable to send a birthday, and then inquire about the news, this task was originally very simple, but as a result, I had to owe it and propose some encouragement.

The result?

His Majesty Li Er is approved, it is indeed a clever plan, but before the clever plan plays a role, he may become a victim of Wei.

It's really not cost-effective, it's equivalent to digging a pit for yourself, and even having to pay for your life, what is this called?

To some extent, Xie Yi was a little helpless. Even a little regretful.

If you can't escape this time, you will really kill yourself, and this should be the worst way to die in your life.

Therefore, in order not to let yourself die ugly and not be so sad when you are dying, it is imperative to find more ways to escape from this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

……

Far low, the Xue Yantuo cavalry of the brigade was dispatched, and they had already driven the beasts on the grassland over, and there were heavy horses' hooves and constantly flying feather arrows on three sides. The only way to survive was the rolling hills and dense forests in front of you, so the beasts naturally ran over.

But are they safe?

Just like the Han people's art of war, it is a truth that the siege of the master must be que, and the grassland tribes have also learned this truth from animals.

When the animals came, the hunt began, and the crowd immediately threw their horses away, carrying bows in search of their prey.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Xie Yi finally seized the opportunity to get rid of Xue Yantuo and the farts worm, of course, this was done with the help of the helpers sent by Tu Lisu.

"Thank you. Di envoy, my little prince ordered to come over, and now the villain will escort the two of them away, rest assured. We are familiar with the area, and there will be small roads that others can't find, and we can go directly south to Yinshan Mountain or the big river. Tu Li's subordinates were convincing, but their expressions were slightly panicked.

This makes perfect sense. Under the close attention of others, self-comfort through some subtle, even self-deceptive ways. If you want to do something speculative and illegal, you will inevitably be a little panicked. When these things are related to life and death, and the life of the family, tension is inevitable.

If it seems to be true, either Tu Liyu is not lying, or they have found a master of vision who wants to deceive themselves.

It was precisely because of this that Xie Yi hesitated and was silent!

Because even at this time, he still has some distrust of sudden profits, everything is too sudden. From Yi Nan's practice of staying with them, to the high density of sudden profits, the logic is completely related.

Although it may be reasonable to blame magnanimity, it is always right to be more mindful. Relatively speaking, among the two princes of Xue Yantuo, the resourceful and scheming sudden profit and loss are even more threatening, and Dadu is just a reckless man, but there is nothing to be afraid of.

Xie Yi pondered more than once, what would he do if he was a Western Turkic envoy? There is no doubt that it is a sudden loss of contact.

In the case that he can't get rid of the real pearl Khan Yi Nan, he can only put more thought into the two little princes. Perhaps the Western Turks did like to be generous and cooperated more with each other and had a more intimate relationship with each other, but did it have any significant effect?

Dadu is obviously not a very good heir, his ability is even more limited, and he is also very reckless. If Xue Yantuo is handed over to him, it may be easier to control, and he can even become the spokesman of the Western Turks, and in serious terms, he may even think he is a puppet.

But the value of Xue Yantuo will be greatly reduced, and the role and threat of containing the Tang Dynasty and even instigating to attack the Tang Dynasty will be greatly reduced, how much value is it for the Western Turks?

If it was in the past, the Western Turks probably wouldn't mind such a good opportunity to expand their territory, Xue Yantuo was also their vassal, and later rebelled and became independent. If you take it as your own, it can be regarded as a reconquest of the old land.

But now is different from the past, there is a Tang Dynasty in the south of Xue Yantuo, which is an extremely strong opponent, and no one dares to provoke it easily since the defeat of Jieli. The Western Turks also have the same attitude, although they are rivals with the Tang Dynasty behind their backs, the Western Turks do not seem to be willing to directly and directly contact the Tang Dynasty.

Their contest is mainly to manipulate those small countries in the Western Regions, or other larger tribal countries, such as Gaochang and Xue Yantuo, and then use them as a means and bargaining chips to play games with the Tang Dynasty. Instead of directly bordering Datang, and then using real knives and guns to start a war.

They were keen to retain these intermediate buffers, and as long as they were not completely defeated and annexed by the Tang Dynasty, the Western Turks would acquiesce and support their existence.

This is the current delicate relationship!

In such a complex situation, it was obviously not wise to choose a simple-minded, well-limbed prince as his surrogate.

Maybe it's a generous design on the surface, but it's more appropriate to suddenly lose interest behind the scenes. In the face of interests, there are no eternal friends, let alone eternal enemies, and it is very easy to hit it off.

If Yi Nan is in the mix, then this matter is even more complicated, so the sudden profit and loss are not enough to make people believe. The people he sent had to be even more cautious.

Xie Yi was silent here, but the person sent by Tu Lisu would have the wrong meaning, and said leisurely: "Xie Envoy and Di Envoy don't worry, the little khan said that as long as the two of them can get out smoothly, your people will not have much trouble." ”

Speaking of which, there is another rather serious issue.

When I came, there were 500 soldiers escorting the mission, and some entourage, but if I didn't leave openly, I am afraid it would be difficult to get out of the way.

After Xie Yi and Di Zhixon discussed, the idea was that the two of them would go first, although this was a bit of a desertion and abandonment of their companions. But as this Xue Yantuo person said, if the two envoys took the first step and returned to the Tang Dynasty safely, even if Yi Nan raised an army against the Tang Dynasty, he would not dare to easily harm these soldiers.

Otherwise, it will completely anger the Tang Dynasty, which will inevitably lead to war and the most tragic revenge, so Xue Yantuo people will definitely be cautious.

Compared with the situation that seems to be safe now, but the timing is precarious, it is better to take risks and change the way, which seems to be dangerous, but in fact it is safer.

Anyway, it's impossible to want everyone to go together, the target is too big, and if you move a little, you will be discovered, where can you hide the eyelids of Xue Yantuo and the Western Turks?

Therefore, leaving the soldiers and horses to be escorted by the mission is also a ploy, just like deliberately leaving a bunch of empty tents to confuse the enemy when the army squad leaves, and it needs to be pretended.

The main purpose of leaving the mission was to set up a suspicious formation, confuse the people of Xue Yantuo, and create a chance for himself and Di Zhixun to escape. While this approach is a bit less authentic and not very glamorous, there seems to be no better way at the moment. Or there are some methods, but I don't know what the result will be in the end, and Xie Yi does not have sufficient confidence and clear expectations for this.

The reason for all this is that the information is not accurate enough to make accurate judgments.

However, at this moment, when the so-called guide sent by Tu Lisu said this, Xie Yi was suddenly startled, as if he realized something.

Maybe I overlooked something, maybe there are still a lot of loopholes in it. Even if you are shocked at the critical moment when you are ready to fly, it seems that you have to stop and take a good look at your previous approach.

In any case, you must not make a mistake and become a thousand hatreds! (To be continued......)
