Videa was pleasantly surprised: "Big Boss, what do you have to do?" ”

Xue Shixiong waved his hand and said, "Doesn't Liu Ziqiu like women?" Then give him the most beautiful woman! ”

Liu Ziqiu is indeed showing off his force, but people have the capital to show off their force. Xue Shixiong knew very well that if he continued to connive at his subordinates to raid the Great Sui border, he would definitely incur Liu Ziqiu's crazy revenge, and the fate of Tong Lifa was in front of him, and he didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past. However, Yantuo Muen's words could not but attract his attention. The life of the herdsmen in the tribe is already very difficult, and if the source of salt, iron and cloth is cut off, I am afraid that few people will listen to what his leader says.

However, it was not the first time that Xue Shixiong had dealt with Great Sui officials. These people have their own weaknesses, and as long as they grasp the weaknesses of these people, these people will naturally turn a blind eye, and maybe secretly sell some salt, iron and cloth to them, which is much better than robbery. If it's too hard, it's soft, since Liu Ziqiu is good, then do what he likes. No matter what the cost, in short, it is a good idea to be able to get salt and iron cloth.

Wid'a smiled bitterly, "There is no woman in our tribe who can compare to Mu Duoli. ”

Xue Shixiong frowned, was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Our tribe may not have it, but there is one in the west!" ”

To the west is Dammam's territory. Daman was the Chuluo Khan of the Western Turks, and the Tiele Ten were only ten tribes under Daman's rule. Of course, the Tiele Ten are now not very obedient to Daman's rule. The woman Xue Shixiong is talking about is Ashina Huihui, Daman's sister, known as a pearl in the Western Turkic steppe, and her beauty is definitely not below Mu Duoli. Mu Duoli is already a mother of two children, and Huihui is just a beautiful young girl. It is said that the Han people care about a woman's first time, so it goes without saying who can attract Liu Ziqiu more between Huihui and Mu Duoli.

Yantuo Muen grinned: "Big brother, then I will lead the troops to the tooth tent and arrest Huihui back!" It's just cheaper that Han dog official! ”

"Nonsense! Do you think the tooth tent is so easy to break into! Xue Shixiong scolded, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and said, "If Liu Ziqiu heard that there is a pearl that shines brighter than Mu Duoli on this grassland, then what will he think?" ”

Videa's eyes also lit up, nodded and said, "The big leader's trick is really wonderful!" It's best if they can get a lose-lose situation! ”

Xue Shixiong laughed and said, "You have to send someone to Daman to burn a fire first, don't let the two of them unite, it will be self-defeating." ”

As he spoke, a soldier suddenly came to report: "Leaders, the Han army is only ten miles away!" ”

Xue Shixiong waved his hand and sneered: "Liu Ziqiu is confident and walks unhurriedly. Isn't he really afraid of a sneak attack? ”

In fact, Liu Ziqiu didn't want to go slowly like this. It's just that in addition to women and children, there are also a large number of cattle and sheep, and they can't get up quickly. After all, the current situation is equivalent to the long-distance migration of a large tribe, and the speed cannot be compared with the march. The biggest disadvantage of this situation is that it cannot be concealed, and it is easy to be attacked if you encounter a strong opponent. Just a moment ago, Xue Shixiong had used this brain, but he quickly gave up.

Yes, he can indeed use the terrain and night sè as a cover to sneak attack Liu Ziqiu's migratory army or the night camp. But Xue Shixiong understood that it was difficult to completely annihilate the opponent when fighting on the grassland. Liu Ziqiu could have left these loots behind and retreated. When he recovers, it will bring ten or a hundred times the blow to Xue Yantuo's department. Xue Shixiong didn't know that after the migration of the past few days, these women and children had been completely integrated into Liu Ziqiu's team. Liu Ziqiu already regarded them as his own people, not trophies. With Liu Ziqiu's xìng grid, it is impossible to leave these women and children behind and retreat.

After listening to Xue Shixiong's words, Yantuo Muen was leaping and trying: "Big brother, there is a dirt slope over there, I'll take someone to ambush over there!" ”

The Xue Yantuo Department is composed of two surnames, Xue and Yantuo, with the leader surnamed Xue serving as the chief leader and the leader of Yantuo serving as the second leader. After Yantuo Agan died, Yantuo Muen naturally replaced his brother as the second leader. However, Yantuo Muen always wanted to resort to force not to avenge his brother, but to show himself. In this world where the strong are respected, only by showing enough strength can he convince the public and secure his position as the second leader.

Xue Shixiong said angrily: "You know how to fight and kill!" Go back to the camp, appease everyone, and I'll go to greet Liu Ziqiu. ”

When I saw Liu Ziqiu, Liu Ziqiu was riding alone on a horse. Just now, when Liu Ziqiu immediately stepped forward to reprimand the six surviving Xue Yantuo warriors, Mu Duoli was very worried that someone would suddenly use cold arrows, because she herself had plotted against Liu Ziqiu with five arrows in a row, and as soon as the six warriors escaped, Mu Duoli immediately threw herself into Liu Ziqiu's arms, she was no longer able to adapt to the rì without Liu Ziqiu, and refused to leave for a long time, Liu Ziqiu had to share a horse with her. Coincidentally, at this time, Weidea came to inquire about the news, and thought that Liu Ziqiu was a good person. Of course, Liu Ziqiu never denied that he was good. 食sè, xìng also. This is what a great sage said. But Liu Ziqiu is definitely not a person who is in a hurry, no matter how he is, it is impossible to be inseparable from women even on the way to march and fight.

Seeing Xue Shixiong, Liu Ziqiu said coldly: "How is it?" If you want to get in the way, you can't get in the way ”

Xue Shixiong can speak Chinese, and he has also learned some Han etiquette, so he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Lord Liu is aware that the grass people are here to welcome adults to the camp for a rest." ”

As he spoke, Xue Shixiong looked into Liu Ziqiu's team, and sure enough, the soldiers were strong and strong, and the momentum was like a mountain, so he couldn't help but feel a little afraid.

Having met Wei De'a just now, Liu Ziqiu already knew that the 3,000 men and horses he annihilated were from the Xue Yantuo Tribe, and he also knew that it was this tribe that defeated Feng Xiaoci last winter. But that was in the past, and it had nothing to do with him, and he didn't come to avenge Feng Xiaoci. Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "Leader Xue is exempt from courtesy, Liu is in a hurry, and he will bother again." ”

Xue Shixiong jumped off the horse, untied the scimitar, and threw it to the servant, and then said: "Please rest assured, the grass people have no malice." ”

Liu Ziqiu sneered: "Then what happened just now!" ”

Xue Shixiong felt bitter in his heart, his three thousand young men were annihilated by you like this, and you still asked me what was going on? It's just that people are under low eaves, and they can't help but bow their heads. Xue Shixiong bowed and said, "Lord Hui, it's all a misunderstanding. The grass people have prepared some gifts among the clan to make amends for the sins! ”

Liu Ziqiu raised his horsewhip and said: "If you make amends, you will be exempted, as long as you will keep to yourself in the future, Liu will not embarrass you." When we get over, you arrange for a few people to bury your people. ”

Xue Shixiong knew that although he had repeatedly stated that it was a misunderstanding, after all, there were 3,000 dead in the tribe, and this feud was not small. If it were him, he would not risk entering the other party's territory. Therefore, Xue Shixiong had other preparations, and he hurriedly said, "My lord, please wait for a while, the gift will be delivered soon." ”

Liu Ziqiu frowned, and was about to reprimand him to get out of the way, when he saw dust flying in front of him, and one hundred and ten horsemen galloped over, and the first one was Weidea.

When Vid'a arrived, he turned over and dismounted, and arched his hand and said, "My lord, please look. ”

Behind Vid'a, dozens of pretty Xue Yantuo women sat on horses. These women are both young chūn girls and enchanting young women, all of whom are dressed in narrow sleeves and short jackets, carrying bows and arrows, and riding on horses, looking heroic and sassy, but they have a different flavor. Liu Ziqiu was stunned and said, "What is this?" ”

Xue Shixiong clenched his fists and said: "Lord Hui, these are the best women in the grass tribe, please smile!" ”

Originally, Xue Shixiong wanted to pick twenty girls to give to Liu Ziqiu, but after thinking about it, Liu Ziqiu could like Mu Duoli, who had given birth to two children, and maybe he had any special hobbies, so he asked Weidea to pick twenty young women. Pity these young women who have husbands and children, but they dare not disobey the orders of the big chief, so they have to clean up and abandon their husbands and children.

Of course, Liu Ziqiu didn't know that just because he and Mu Duoli were riding together, Xue Shixiong had so many ideas. And Liu Ziqiu knew that after Xue Yantuo's invasion of the Sui Realm last year, he was afraid of disaster and asked for surrender, and he didn't even give a gift to the court officials, and now they have a lot of opportunities to escape, how can they give gifts for no reason? Seeing Xue Shixiong so attentive, Liu Ziqiu nodded thoughtfully and said, "What else is there to do with Boss Xue, just say it!" ”

Xue Shixiong was secretly happy in his heart, but he said quietly on his face: "Lord Liu, how dare the grass people have anything, the grass people made a special trip to make amends to the adults." ”

Liu Ziqiu shook his head: "If you don't want to say it, then Liu will leave!" ”

Xue Shixiong hurriedly said: "Slow down, adult! The grass people only want adults to be able to open up on the border trade. ”

Liu Ziqiu had been in Xihai for nearly a year, so he naturally knew what the nomadic tribe lacked. He pretended to mutter: "Border trade needs to be licensed by the imperial court. Although the current Great Sui Dynasty is in turmoil, how dare Liu, as an important minister guarding the frontier, dare to abolish the public for personal reasons? But ......"

Hearing Liu Ziqiu say the word "but", Xue Shixiong felt energetic, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, adults, the grass people know the rules." ”

Looting and border trade are two important means for nomadic tribes to obtain means of livelihood such as salt, iron, cloth, etc., and it is difficult to complete the border trade smoothly without the border guards turning a blind eye. In the past, Xue Yantuo often gave small gifts to the Dunhuang guards, just to make it convenient for them to do it at that time. It's just that Xue Shixiong was only able to contact some low-level generals in the past, but now that he has met Liu Ziqiu, he naturally won't let go of this opportunity.

Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "Here in Liu, there are only the rules of the imperial court, and there are no other rules. However, if Li Fa acts against the sky, Liu will transfer the quota allocated to them to you! ”
