I nodded in understanding. "There is one thing, please ask Prince Lu for help, I want to go and meet Her Royal Highness the princess before meeting Shibi Khan."

"For what?" Ashina was stunned for a moment, then laughed. "Do you think that Princess Yicheng will be able to convince my eldest brother?"

"Give it a try, it's an opportunity after all, what if it really works? Besides, compared to us, I believe that Her Royal Highness the Princess's words must be easier for the Khan to hear. I replied with a faint smile.

Ashina stroked his beard and looked at me. "Do you know that from going to the royal court, it is more than a thousand miles away, in case during this period, the Yanmen Gate is broken and your emperor is captured by my eldest brother, when the time comes, even if you do anything, I am afraid it will be useless."

"I believe that the 150,000 people who are guarding the gate of Yanmen should be able to support it." I smiled, I didn't care about Ashinadu's speculation, anyway, in another historical time and space, the Turks didn't lose in Jingle County for a while, and in that case, they didn't succeed in breaking through Yanmen, so I don't believe that they can actually break through it now.

"Well, since you want to travel thousands of miles, I will not stop you, for the sake of being the son of Changsun Sheng, and for the sake of the many times you have traded with us in the grassland. I will send guides to show you the way, and to prevent other tribes that are still stranded on the steppes from attacking you. Ashina thought for a moment and then looked at me and asked, "However, what about the prisoners of war you said you were going to release?" Why don't I see any of them?

"Yuanfang, raise the flag" Ben Gongzi shouted without looking back, Li Yuanfang turned over and jumped off the war horse, jumped onto a big car, and then raised the flag and shook it vigorously in the direction of Xinkou City.

After a short time, the gate of Xinkou City slowly opened, and a long unarmed Turkic prisoner of war walked out of the city with their heads down and walked towards this side. At Ashinadu's signal, more than 100 Turkic elite horsemen greeted those people.

Soon, he turned around and told Ashina that he was indeed the Turkic soldier who was captured this time.

"Condeli" saw the freed prisoners of war slowly approaching. Ashina pointed to one of his guards and ordered, "You take fifty people, give them a guide, take them to the royal court, and then take them back to Yanmen or here, do you know the way?" ”

"The last general commands." The same bearded, burly and strong, shaved Mediterranean-style bald man said loudly.

"So, thank you, Prince." Hearing this, Ben Gongzi couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and bowed to this prince, the future Jieli Khan.

"I also don't approve of launching an attack on Dasui at this moment, but my eldest brother doesn't think so, I hope you can have a way to persuade my eldest brother to withdraw from the army." Jieli Khan looked at me and said lightly. After saying this, he ignored our group and galloped away, and the more than 2,000 Turkic knights also slowly retreated, leaving only about 50 Turkic cavalry in front of us.

We did not enter the large camp of the Turks and Jihu, but under the guidance of the Turkic cavalry, we bypassed their camp and headed north.

A hard and fun march, hard means a journey of at least one hundred and fifty to two hundred miles a day, and the reason for the fun is that the savannah is full of fat prey.

Not only are we good hunters, but under the guidance of the Turkic barbarians, the food we bring with us is almost never used, and it is all barbecue, and of course, it must be accompanied by tea to reduce the greasy.

These Turkic barbarians are much more straightforward, at least after being drunk twice by our group, they are no longer expressionless and stiff in communication, and Kandley's cool temperament has also won our friendship.

Only then did we know that the beginning of the Khan's southern expedition did not mean that everyone agreed with his decision, Ashina felt that although the current Great Sui Dynasty seemed to be in danger, it was definitely not something that the current Eastern Turks could challenge, in case it really angered the Sui Dynasty, then it was very likely that stealing chickens would not be a handful of rice.

And the second Ashina Jiji belongs to the neutral faction, maybe for him, if the offense can win, it is also a good choice, and the third child's words also make sense.

In addition, the youngest brother Ashina Bo also agreed with the third brother Ashina Du's opinion, but this twelve-year-old boy has no right to discuss matters at present, and was thrown to the Turkic royal court to make soy sauce.

"It seems that the Turks are not monolithic." Qin Qiong was gently wiping the blade of the newly arrived Bailian Horizontal Knife with an oilcloth, admiring the beautiful pattern on it.

"That's natural, there are many large and small Turkic khans, and the Eastern Turks and the Western Turks are even more mortal enemies, and they all want to get rid of each other as soon as possible." Wei Yunqi said with a stroke of his long beard. In front of them, a dozen pairs of bonfires were being lit, and the Turks and our tribes were roasting vigorously there.

And there are a few skilled cooks under my son's hand, who are proudly instructing those Turkic barbarians how to use those precious spices to make these roasted meats more delicious.

It was very happy, and Condley had just drunk a little too much, and was already dozing off in the tent. One of us was sitting in front of one of the campfires, eating and bragging.

According to Condeli, there are still two days to go before he can reach the location of the royal court. When the time comes, it's up to you, brother Xian. Pei Yuanqing yawned and said.

"Don't worry, Princess Yicheng wishes that the Son of Heaven could get out of danger, after all, her maiden family is my Da Sui, Da Sui is unlucky, and her future life in the Turks will definitely not be easy." I laughed lightly

"I don't know if Lu Dao will come to his senses when he is out of danger today, and the world will be peaceful." Qin Qiong put the well-maintained knife back into the sheath, stretched out his hand to bake the fire, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"If Yang Guang's birdman cares about the life and death of the people in the world, how can he be at such a point today?" Cheng Biting Jin rolled his eyes, with a look of disdain.

“…… In any case, Wei hopes to make my Great Sui less of the disaster of the army, otherwise, I really don't know how many people in Lu Dao will be able to live to the time of peace. Wei Yunqi said with a long sigh.

"When he was alive, the world was in chaos like this, maybe he could be better off when he died." Cheng Biting Jin was not taboo at all, and threw a gnawed bone into the fire, and immediately made a crackling explosion. These days, each other has also understood each other's temperament, so it is no surprise that he is straightforward.

"Today, I'm afraid there is no way to restore peace to the world." Pei Yuanqing took a deep breath and said. "Except for the remote places in the south, my Great Sui is almost everywhere with smoke and dust. I don't know when the world will be safe. ”

"Today's world can almost be compared with the chaotic times at the end of the Han Dynasty." Ben Gongzi, who had been silent, suddenly came up with such a sentence, which made these guys all stunned.

However, most of the people nodded in understanding, but Wei Yunqi narrowed his eyes and looked at me, and followed my words. "At the end of the Han Dynasty, first the emperor was mediocre, then the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and then the group of heroes competing for deer, which is indeed very similar to today's trend."

"Such troubled times will definitely be pacified in the hands of our generation." The Yaoguang girl raised her head, looked up at the incomparably magnificent and brilliant starry sky of the prairie, and said leisurely. "The common people do not need to suffer for decades, and they will certainly not fall into hundreds of years of suffering like during the Northern and Southern Dynasties."

And the focus of her eyes, which are comparable to the stars and the moon, is on the Yaoguang Star at the position of the handle of the Big Dipper. The bright and bright stars and moon reflected their faint brilliance on Yaoguang's pretty face, making her look so tranquil but resolute.

"Of course, that's for sure." I nodded vigorously, admiring her incomparably strong self-confidence, which added to her infinite charm.

"No one can say where we will go in the future, but what we have to do now is to save the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and soldiers in the Yanmen area." Qin Qiong sighed leisurely.

The Turkic royal court was set up on the shore of a lake on the southeast side of the Yin Mountain, and although it was already winter, it was still not covered by snow, and everywhere showed patches of withered yellow. In the distance, you can see countless tents towering over the lake, and in the distance, you can see large herds of horses and cattle galloping or slowing.

Not in the slightest bit affected by the war, but as far as the eye could see, almost all of them were young and middle-aged, most of them were old people or children, and even women were grazing.

It seems that the fall of the nest has also had a great impact on the production and life of the Turkic people. At this time, the royal court, which had already received the news, sent five hundred cavalry to escort them, but I felt more like they were guarding, and one or two were very vigilant looking at our team, as if they were afraid that we would break out and hurt people.

In the place where the tent, which was obviously much taller than the rest of the place, there were still groups of elite cavalry gathering, and many Turkic boys or girls had come out of the tent and looked towards us, and even boldly rushed to the front with their horses, looking curiously and enviously at the armor of those of us Sui Dynasty.

Well, compared to the leather helmets and leather armor of the Turks, all of us in our group are wearing exquisite and luxurious Mingguang armor, and even if it is an ordinary unit, it is a standard Great Sui cavalry armor, because they are going to be an envoy, so Li Yuan and Yun Dingxing are not stingy at all, and they are equipped with the best for us.

The new and shiny armor dazzled the eyes of these Turkic buns, and those children who were not afraid of birth even rode their horses alongside us, and curiously touched the armor and weapons of the soldiers, but finally fled with laughter amid the shouts and rebukes of the Turkic cavalry.
