In front of Zhao Shi stood a young man who was not too tall, but sturdy and upright like a tree.

"This is already Datong, and to the north is your homeland, what are your plans in the future?" Zhao Shi said slowly.

The young man pursed his lips, and there seemed to be a flame dancing in his eyes, "Uncle, I want to go back......"

As if expected, Zhao Shi stared at him with heavy eyes, and said, "I promised your aunt back then to help you regain the throne of the Tatar Khan, but after all these years, do you really want to go back and fight for that Khan King?" Daqin is now in full swing, you stay in Daqin, the same brocade clothes and food, if you want to be rich and glorious, I can give it to you, what is there in the Tatar steppe? ”

"They betrayed your father, drove their royal family, and now they are either fighting each other, or they have already crawled at the feet of others, you go back, you can only fight to grab and kill, I am afraid that your heart is the same as your father, not hard enough, not ruthless enough, what is the grassland, I think you should understand better than me, weak people can only be slaves to others, you ask yourself after you go back, will you do better than your father?"

This young man is not an outsider, it is the Buyan Xiban who came to Daqin with his aunt Qin Qihai back then, the prince of the Wanggu tribe, and the son of the Great Khan of the Wanggu tribe back then.

Although the bloodline of the Wanggu tribe is noble, but speaking of which, the status of the Tatars in the steppe is not high, they are the powerful Naiban tribe in the north, and the Jin country in the south, which can only be suppressed in the narrow Yunwai grassland, and has long lost the glory of their ancestors.

The Naiban tribe suppressed them, and the Jin State also drove them. The chaotic Tatar tribes could not fight against the various tribes that rose in the steppe, and the strength of the Turks was already yesterday's yellow flower, just like the Tang Dynasty of the Han people, and it seemed that it had only existed in people's memories.

Buyan Xiban hesitated a little, but this hesitation is definitely not the same as cowering, he is afraid, afraid that he is too young and not good enough, afraid that the glory of those Wang Gu tribes has disappeared on the grassland. No one remembers its name.

But he was also supported by the flame of hatred that had never been extinguished, and he wanted to make those who had betrayed them pay the price of blood, and he had learned a lot of things and learned a lot of truths in the Han people over the years, and he believed that if he went back, he would become the Khan of the Tatars. It will definitely be better than his father.

Buyan Xiban's gaze gradually became firm and sharp, "Uncle." Back then, Father Khan did not hesitate to hand over all the warriors of the tribe to you, and also wanted to keep you in the tent of Wanggubu, but you still returned to Daqin, didn't you? ”

Zhao Shi finally showed a smile on his face, shook his head and said: "This is not what I want to hear, I can sue you, I wanted to come back then, because there are my relatives here, as well as my subordinates." Have to come back, and you are in the Tatar steppe, what is there to be nostalgic for? And it is important to note that your father is sincere, but not determined......"

"Your father is generous and hospitable, but not a good Khan king, so don't be angry. Your father was noble by nature, he had a body like a lion, but he had a heart like a sheep, in the words of our Han Chinese. He was not a wise emperor, but more of a sentimental man of letters, and I knew this when he let go of the barbarian envoys who had insulted the Tatars......"

"So, I want you to think clearly, your aunt wants you to go back to inherit your father's throne, but she didn't ask you to die, I can send your soldiers to send you back, the Tatars can't prevent you from ascending to the throne, but if you are the same as your father, the result will definitely be the same, in that case, I advise you to stay in Daqin, so as not to make your aunt sad."

He was furious, as could easily be seen from his trembling body, but when his eyes met the smiling face, his anger was instantly extinguished, and he hung his head.

After a while, he raised his head again and said stubbornly: "There are no cowards in Wang Gubu, even if I die, I will die on the grassland where I was born and raised." ”

Zhao Shi restrained his smile, his cold gaze was like a sharp arrow, which could shoot people through, which made the young Tatar prince feel coerced, and he twisted his body uneasily, but he never lowered his head again.

"Okay." Zhao Shi said in a deep voice: "Then tell me what you plan to do when you go back." ”

Buyan Xiban moved his lips, all he thought about day and night was to return to the Tatar steppe and wash away those unforgettable hatreds with the blood of the enemy, but when he came to this cloud close to the Tatar steppe, he didn't know how to answer when Zhao Shi asked what to do.

The Han soldiers' book said that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent would not be defeated in a hundred battles, but although he had not been away from the steppe for a few years, he really didn't know what the situation was on the steppe now, whether there were any loyal subordinates there, and whether the Tatars remembered their Khan king, and whether they had dedicated their loyalty to the Naiman tribe or the Jin people, he didn't know anything.

Zhao Shi asked: "You don't think that if you return to the steppe like this, those Tatars will kneel at your feet when they see you and come to worship you as the king of the Khan, right?" ”

Buyan Xiban's face was a little red, but his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he bowed down and said: "Uncle, you are a hero among the Han people, compared to you, the names that are sung by people on the grassland will all lose their luster, please teach Buyan Xiban, how to go in the future." ”

Zhao Shi stroked his forehead, sure enough, after staying in the Han territory for a long time, no matter how bold the Hu people are, they will become extraordinarily cunning, this guy not only wants him to send troops to help him ascend to the throne, but also treats him as a military advisor, and it is really a complete Han method.

But come to think of it, doesn't he have a side mind here?

Zhao Shi pulled the corners of his mouth, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "Now is an opportunity, where is this, do you know?" ”

Buyan Xiban raised his head and said suspiciously: "This is Xijing Datong of the Jin Kingdom, and then it is a long city wall, and after that, you can see our Tatar steppe." ”

Zhao Shi stepped to the door of the big tent, followed by Buyan Xiban, Zhao Shi raised his hand and pointed to Datong City, which was lying there like a giant beast, and said: "Xijing of the Jin people trembles under my blade, it won't take many days, this is the place of Daqin, you say, if the Tatars see this battle with their own eyes, what will they think?" ”

Buyan Xiban lowered his head and thought about it, raised his head suddenly, his eyes lit up, and said hurriedly: "You mean...... Let them witness this great war......"

Zhao Shi nodded and said with a smile: "I'll give you 10,000 cavalry, go back to the Tatar steppe, and capture some Tatars, but you should understand that the military situation is urgent, seize the day, I won't wait for you deliberately, so your time is limited, understand?" ”

Buyan Xiban nodded heavily, "Please rest assured, I will definitely come back here as much as possible." ”

Zhao Shi patted him on the shoulder and said again, "Do you remember your oath?" ”

Buyan Xiban was stunned, then took a step back, went down with a military salute, and said loudly: "The gods testify that when I, the Buyan Xiban of the Wang Gu Department wait for the Khan position again, I will not forget anyone who has helped him, and the Great Qin will always be a friend of the Tatars, even if Cangshan grows old and the river dries up, the Tatars will not forget their oath today." ”

Zhao Shi smiled, the expiration date of the oath was to be discussed, but now, he was not afraid of the Tatars going back, but when the Tatars gathered under his battle banner, the Hetao ...... It's also in Daqin's bag.

And what is left of the Tangut people who have lost the granaries that have been stuffed into the granary?

The grand blueprint of the war has been planned in his heart for a long time, the purpose of this war, not only the land east of the Jin people, his vision, put it more long-term, under the same situation, the two big Hu people in the north will completely lose the initiative, the strategic situation of Western Xia will also become extremely bad, and the time to capture Western Xia is mostly ripe, this strong enemy located behind the side of Daqin, there is no more to fight.

At that time, Zhao Shi's eyes will look far away to the northeast, and the eagle among the Mongols will also be confined to a corner of the northeast, and when the Great Qin unifies the Central Plains, the Mongols who come and go like the wind will also become lambs to be slaughtered, and they will be no different from the Hu people faced by the Han people in the past.

"Mu Huali."

Mu Huali, who had been waiting outside the tent for a long time, entered in response to the call and gave a military salute.

"Get up, this is not a shameful former class, you have seen it, I ordered you to lead your own troops to the north with it, the purpose of this trip, not to listen to the former class, but the war depends on you, remember, go back to ......"

Mu Huali glanced at the disgraceful Xiban, and had some doubts in his heart, but he would not hesitate at all, and immediately led the order loudly, to be able to return to the grassland after a long absence, that kind of excitement is indescribable for the grassland people, just like the Han people say, the rich and noble do not return to the countryside like a night walk, and its temptation is stronger than letting him personally lead the troops to capture the Jin people Xijing.

A few people who gathered on the Tatar steppe back then, Hesa'er, Borshu was far away in the northeast, Sangkun was fighting with his father in the northern grassland, and several other people had all arrived in Daqin, Wang Gubu's Ehun had become a woman, and the little prince of Wang Gubu was preparing to return to the grassland with a vengeful rage, and Mu Huali was full of yearning for returning to the grassland to let the horse gallop.

And Zhao Shi, the great general of Great Qin, has already led thousands of troops and horses, surrounded the Jin people's Xijing, the world is changing, the vicissitudes of life, no one can guess what will happen in the future......
