036. The Female Khan's Stratagem (4000 words)
The peasant girl also changed her name and called Bran His Highness, but there was no fear or excitement.
"Yes (huh?)." Bran nodded.
"Can he help rescue the prince? As long as I can, I can make ...... Reward you, the prince. I know the prince. ”
"No way, he's just a captain." Bran said to Dursley again, "The soldiers listen to you?"
"They came out of my village, they are all very loyal, and I will take them to action."
"Leave us alone, I'm going back to Duncent's castle, over there." Bran pointed in one direction.
"No, there are other people here, you are moving too slowly, and there are soldiers everywhere who are running away alone, we just met three people." Desley Road.
"Get me a horse, pull this empty car, and you can help me open the way privately."
There is still a short way into the range of Duncent's watchtower, where there should be no danger. Bran said to the peasant girl, "I will do my best to help you." ”
If it was really the Viper and his eldest daughter who was banished to the monastery, there was no harm in increasing the favor at this time.
Desley wanted to go with Bran, but Bran decided to do so, and he had to nod.
Desley sent someone to scout the grass first, and when he returned, he tied the horse of an enemy scout he had just killed to a cart, and let Bran and the peasant girl go back quickly.
Dursley rode in a carriage and was a coachman, and let Bran sit with the peasant girl.
When she was almost there, the peasant girl first soiled her body and face with earth, and then puffed out her mouth again, and Desley was puzzled.
"Your Highness, your heart."
"Go ahead."
The two made an appointment to see each other next time, and after saying goodbye to each other, Bran and Desley parted ways.
At this time, the archers saw a horse drawn from the road with a cart, and immediately a scout approached with a bow and arrow, and recognized it as Duncent's cronies, and came up to answer it.
"Abu? What's the matter with you? You've been missing overnight, and Lord (Duncent) asked about you this morning.
"We've met the enemy, go back again."
This scout had spoken to Bran, not a human being.
Bran was badly injured, and as soon as he entered the town, he noticeably felt different from before leaving.
Citizens of towns and cities were ordered not to go out at will, and food was centrally controlled.
The well-trained town doctor, as soon as he saw Bran, proposed a book for bloodletting treatment, and such an exaggerated method was directly vetoed by Bran.
Just go to school by yourself
Duncent came to see Bran, and he sent out to kill a few, and Bran came back wounded, so ask him if he didn't know what was going on.
Tell me the words that I had thought of before, and meet the enemy on the road, while the peasant girl was fetching water in the valley, and the two fled back together.
Also on the cart were two pieces of soldier equipment given by Desley, stained with blood as evidence.
Bran was just an outsider, not of much importance, and not afraid of being a spy, so Duncent didn't ask too much.
Moreover, Bran brought back two pieces of armor and a horse to offset the lost horses brought out, and there was no loss, and Duncent left.
It was still Arnold who took care of Bran.
"Bran, you're so heavy!"
"You can't die, these two of you have a heart, the prince's castle probably can't be defended, and the palace minister got a city-breaking weapon."
"What's that?"
"A weapon that kills the enemy thousands of miles away, that thing falls on the body, and dozens of people are not enough to die."
Bran felt tired and said, "Arnold doesn't need to let people disturb me, if that peasant girl comes to me, you are calling me." ”
Now she knew she had one of her subordinates in the enemy ranks. Bran guessed that the peasant girl would still look for her, and it was related to the matter of Frederick.
……
Opening the wooden door, the sunlight was shining in, the old father was lying on the bed, the room was as usual, nothing had changed, and there was unfinished food on the table, it was a dry cake and a little wild vegetables.
"Father?"
The peasant girl's cry made the old man get up.
"You're back?" The old man slowly stood up.
"What's going on, I remember that the food should be finished?"
"Someone came this morning, do you remember the guy who pushed the cart with us?"
The old man's is Arnold, he has a good heart, he still remembers the last time, and he also knows that the old man lives here.
Thinking that they were all refugees, when they were busy this morning, they passed by this row of houses, and came to visit, and when they heard the old man coughing, they opened the door and came in to help.
"I see, the Lord bless the good man, and I hope he will be safe in this chaos."
The peasant girl untied the water bag she had brought back and gave her father zero medicine.
At the same time, he hesitated to tell his father about Frederick, but he told his father for fear that his father would worry.
The peasant girl still didn't have it in the end, but she was going to find a way to find a way, and she could only rely on Bran as a living person for now.
……
Far East, the ancient land.
A new struggle for power is underway.
King Rama from the Black Sea, Asia, the Oriental steppes, and even Beizhu sent people to witness that countless tribes held a meeting called the Kutai Assembly.
The meeting was issued by the new Khan of Hutuchi.
It was held in a fertile pasture 100 kilometers east of the Black Sea.
He won the Battle of the Twelve Wings, and he embezzled many Orthodox faith lords in the Curtain Land, and it was the time of his majesty.
Origin has always been a matter of shame for him, and he directly held the Kutai Conference on the advice of the sycophants.
Plus the soldiers recruited by the captives.
Now he has more than 30,000 men with armor and more than 3,000 war horses.
Weigh a real sweat, enough is enough!
At least that's what he thinks.
This place is called Nolan Meadows.
Hundreds of years ago, there were huge cities and camps, with a permanent population of more than 200,000, and the magnificence can be seen from the decayed but huge stone chiseled buildings that are now in decline.
It was once the first hunting ground of the royal family of the Liao Empire.
Liao – used to be another name for the East.
In 750-912, there was a large empire "Liao" that spanned east and west in the steppe.
The ruler of the empire is the Khan of Ten Thousand Khans.
Together with the vassal regimes, the sphere of influence stretched from the mysterious and rich land of silk in the east, to Beizhu in the south, to Persia in the west, and to the present-day Rus' tribes in the north.
At that time, every other new khan ascended the throne, the Liao Empire would hold a Kutai conference to swear authority, and at the same time reward the obedient, crusade against the disloyal, and appoint the tribes to be protected.
Those who can participate in the Kutai conference are all temporary choices.
Over time, seventeen families have entered the Golden Family.
The Golden Family originally referred to the steppe tribes who were qualified to intermarry with the royal family at that time, but after a long time, it became a special nickname that was qualified to be called Khan.
Today's life is too long, and only two families are left and direct blood relatives are left.
One is the ancestor of Zamuhe.
Although this branch has been wandering in the outer areas of Byzantium for a long time, its bloodline is clear and continuous, and it is still a clerical treasure given by the Liao Empire, so it is recognized.
The other is "Mu Liyun", who wants to say goodbye to Hutuchi at this conference.
Mu Liyun is over sixty years old, his hair is red, his eyes are like oxen, he is active in the east of the grassland, his people are very prestigious, and the goods and treasures of the Silk Road must pass through his territory.
There are more than 80,000 herdsmen in his personal tribes, and the number of subordinate tribes can reach as many as 150,000.
He had a large group of wives and concubines, and countless children, and the outside of his main tent was all made of gold and other valuables, and the outside was painted with a steppe eagle and an ancient totem to show off his extraordinary origin.
The people of the steppe called him "Sun Khan".
The sun is omnipresent and shines in the world, which means that he is the most honorable person in the world.
Mu Liyun is not very good at fighting, but he has many masters, and he is very bold and generous, but he can suffer two failures in the big battle to expand his strength, so the forces were caught up by the young Hutuchi later, and he went side by side
Hutuchi took advantage of the space to defeat the Orthodox Christians, manipulated the Kutai Assembly, and preemptively obtained the support of the seven ancient families.
Among them, there are descendants of the Liao Empire.
After all, it is a century-old empire, and the bloodline is not all extinct.
There is a tribe of more than 50 Rao that still exists in Central Asia.
Depend on grazing for the Magyars.
Hutuchi brought in the young patriarch of the tribe, a young man named Hualagu.
Tell him about the once glorious greatness of the Liao Empire.
A dream was compiled for this patriarch, and he walked side by side with him, one became the Liao Emperor and the other became the Great Khan.
I can't climb it in one step, since the old family attaches so much importance to the famous family, then after I choose the Liao royal family, do you still have something to say?
Hutuchi married the sister of the patriarch again, and asked the patriarch to make an orthodox document.
Sealed himself into one of the Golden Families.
There have been predecessors who have done this, but all of them have failed without exception, one has fallen to only a few dozen descendants of the empire, and relied on the support of careerists to resurrect the soul through corpses.
Hutuchi is menacing.
At this time, Mu Liyun was very passive, he had always flaunted golden orthodoxy, advocating the culture of the Liao Empire, and even the tribal script, all using Liao language.
If the righteous title is obtained by a lowly person, it is really a great shame, but Hu Tuchi cannot be allowed to simply come to power.
I asked my subordinates, and they all agreed that the lowly person obtained the throne like a black cloud covering the sun, only for a while.
It must be governed by the Orthodox.
……
The moon was dark, but the campfire outside the tent was not extinguished.
In a dark night, inside and outside the wide tent that also exudes golden rays, singing and dancing.
The graceful oriental dancer, with her gestures exuding charm, is a skilled pianist, playing the horse-head piano, and generally sings in unison with an ancient and majestic voice.
The dancing girl is from the East, with fair skin and attractive eyes, and she does not have the stout feeling of a prairie woman, Mu Liyun loves it very much.
Drinking mare's milk wine, his cheeks flushed.
Normally, at this time, he is about to reproduce.
Suddenly, someone came in to report about Hutuchi, and he stopped the music and stopped it.
"What have you done to the lowly people?" One of his subordinates scolded, "I'll enjoy the dance if it's broken." ”
"The Kutai conference is scheduled for a month later, and we must prepare early, Great Khan." The messenger returns.
"What do you think?" Mu Liyun held his wine glass.
After everyone toasted, they all said, "Fight!"
"Good! These Magyars will always be only worthy of us to graze, want to be khans, dream!"
"Great Khan, you give me a token, and I will help you recruit the grassland forces immediately."
"Great Khan, I'm in charge of armaments."
"Give me a diplomatic order."
The generals wanted to fight, and after the third step, Mu Liyun mobilized the eight thousand elites of the tribe and marched all the way west.
Mu Liyun inherited the tribe that his grandfather and father worked hard to run.
It is the strongest tribe in the grassland, and it has never looked at people's faces in his life.
Helplessly, he was defeated twice, and the east could not enter, so he could only invade part of the Silk Road.
There was a tribe that was inferior to itself that managed to enter the east and establish a feudal state.
Calling himself a brother and sister made him envious.
When he was forty-six years old, he heard about the war in Beizhu, and the southern invasion was defeated by the white elephant soldiers of King Rama, and then he held it for fifteen years.
The vitality has recovered, and this time the ambition to go west has been rekindled.
He brought more than 30 carts of silk, tea, and spices, and wanted to bribe other families in the grassland to stop Hutuchi's ambitions.
There will even be a war if necessary.
He heard that this time Hualagu gave Hutu Chi the honorific title of "Sun Khan".
How can there be two suns on it!
The tribes went to the Black Sea.
The Kutai Assembly had sent Zamuhe, far to the west, to get information, and now that his subjects had been scattered by the Magyars, it was naturally impossible for him to participate in the assembly of his enemies.
On the day she received the information, she was practicing her martial arts.
She was holding a new spear, the spike of Sicilian stone, and the body made of piercing steel and other metals.
During the Battle of the Twelve Wings, he made nineteen contributions to her.
But she wasn't enough, she had heard that there was a unicorn's horn of thunder in the land of Northern Europe.
She wanted to combine this horn with this gun, and the hair would be more powerful......
Now every day, she wields a hundred thorns.
The arm strength is getting stronger and stronger.
The sweaty horse is also manipulating more and more easily.
She rode two horses on the battlefield, and when she charged, the two horses were powerful, and she was incomparably powerful.
In the near future, she will be famous in the world.
……
She received the battle situation, just in time for the morning meal.
