"Oh! what a big mouse!" Li Yao had just finished speaking, and before Arjunana could speak, suddenly several soldiers sitting around the fire over there shouted. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Their shout immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone turned their eyes to it.

Li Yao and Arjun Nana were naturally also attracted, the two hurriedly walked over, squeezed in to take a look, just saw a few soldiers blocking a mouse the size of a kitten in a corner, this mouse is quite big, covered in black hair, if you don't look closely, you think it will be a black cat, not think it is a black mouse.

Li Yao immediately became interested in this big mouse, and rushed forward, Li Yao looked at the neck of the black mouse, reached out and pinched it, and pinched it in his hand, the big mouse immediately couldn't move, and let out a scream of pain, looking scared.

"The general is so skilled!"

"General, let's roast this fat rat!"

"yes! ”

......

As soon as Li Yao caught the mouse, the soldiers followed suit, all shouting to roast this fat black mouse to eat, Li Yao was a little sick to his stomach on the spot, although since he led the troops to the present more than 20 days, they have not eaten much meat, but this rat meat, Li Yao is not interested.

After all, a rat in the 21st century is called a dirty one! Li Yao never thought of eating this thing.

However, seeing that the brothers were so interested, Li Yaozhi couldn't refuse, so he just waved his hand and said: "Bring a knife, Lao Tzu will kill him now, and you can take it to roast." ”

"Okay!" the soldiers cheered in unison and handed a long knife to Li Yao.

Li Yao was about to cut off the fat mouse's brain with a knife, but Arjunnana, who was standing on the side, hurriedly walked out, waved her hand to stop Li Yao, and said to Li Yao: "The general's subordinates are merciful, let it live!"

"Why?" asked Li Yao.

"This kind of black mouse, called the Grass Emperor, it is the treasure of the grassland, just like your Da Zhou people use carrier pigeons to transmit messages, we grassland people use the Grass Emperor to transmit information, the Grass Emperor runs very fast, and is cold and drought resistant, the people on the grassland can not live without it, the reason why it can grow so big is also raised on the grassland, so it is also very loyal to the people on the grassland. Arjunnana explained to Li Yao.

Li Yao heard her say this, and then he understood how important the black mouse he was holding in his hand was, just like the carrier pigeon, the Grass Emperor also has its unique role, anyway, he has traveled to the Tang Dynasty for so many years, and no one has ever eaten a carrier pigeon, so Li Yao can also imagine the status of this mouse like the Grass Emperor in the minds of the grassland people.

Thinking of this, Li Yao threw the long knife back to the soldiers and said to them: "Okay, don't be surprised, let's eat dry food obediently!"

"General Xie. Arjun Nana hurriedly thanked Li Yao.

The soldiers rushed to attack in disappointment, and each sat down on the fire to eat dry food and rest.

Ajunnana stepped forward, took the Grass Emperor from Li Yao's hands, and after appeasing it a few times, Ajunnana let it go, but when the Grass Emperor ran to the door, it looked back at Arjunnana a few times, Li Yao took in all of this, but he didn't say anything, just let the Grass Emperor leave.

Li Yao walked back to the fire over there with Ajun Nana and sat down, resting with Qin Jing and others while eating dry food.

At this time, Li Yao's spirit was very tight, and he understood that it would be a long night, and he could not take it lightly at all.

Under a shallow slope five miles away from Anbei City, at this time, a group of Turkic soldiers of about 3,000 people were lying quietly on the snowy grass and motionless, and in front of them, a tall man dressed in thick animal skins and about 1.85 meters tall was lying on the ground and quietly staring ahead.

Just when everyone was waiting a little impatiently, the grass emperor who had been let go by Li Yao before suddenly ran over from the dark grass in front of him and quickly rushed into the arms of the tall man.

The tall man immediately reached out and touched it under its belly, and after a while, he touched a small animal skin the size of a baby's small hand, and took this small animal skin and put it in front of his eyes, and it was written in Turkic script, "General Da Zhou has led a thousand elite soldiers into Anbei City, and the army is outflanked from both sides." ”

After seeing the news from the Grass Emperor, the tall man immediately chuckled happily, and said to the other tall man beside him: "What a Great Zhou general, he actually wanted to take Anbei City from two loaves, but he himself feinted with a thousand elite soldiers, and really thought that Lao Tzu would be him." ”

"What are we going to do now, Muli?" asked another tall man.

It turned out that this tall man was none other than Tuli's smart son Mu Li, and the guy lying next to him was his sworn brother Tashi, the relationship between the two was like brothers, and they had the same ideas, and one was smart, the other was brave and good at fighting, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a literature and a martial artist in the Ashina tribe now.

No, the two of them planned to take advantage of Wu Zetian's political instability this time to slaughter the Great Zhou Dynasty, which led to the fact that Li Yao led his troops to Mobei, in the final analysis, Li Yao has the current situation, all thanks to these two guys, and to everyone's surprise, these two bold guys, this time to occupy Yinshan Anbei City, actually only brought 20,000 horses.

That is to say, the army led by Li Yao is ten times their number, therefore, Li Yao has not yet entered Yinshan, Mu Li and Tashi took 30,000 troops, escorted all the Great Zhou officials in Anbei Duhuli and all the people in Anbei City, escaped from the city, and played hide and seek with Li Yao in the huge Yinshan grassland.

Hearing Tashi's question, Mu Li also frowned, not knowing what to do for a while.

After thinking for a while, Mu Li asked, "Do you think that woman is unreliable, is she wholeheartedly helping us?"

"Her whole clan is dead, and now she is the only one left, of course she must take refuge in us, otherwise we will not kill her, and she will not have the courage to cheat us. Tashi didn't even think about it, but replied to Mu Li.

"From the fact that she used the Grass Emperor to send back the news, it can be seen that she has the intention to help us, but after all, we killed her Arjuna's entire clan, she must have hatred for us, and I know Arjuna too well, that woman has always been double-faced, I can guarantee that she must have begged General Dazhou to get rid of us at the same time as facing us. Mu Li lowered his head, and with a single word, he broke Arjuna's two sides and three swords.

And the truth is exactly what he said.

Ajun Nana helped Mu Li pass on the information, but on the other hand, she was currying favor with Li Yao and asking him to help get rid of Mu Li, that is to say, Ajun Nana is very smart, she does not believe Mu Li and Li Yao unilaterally, but neither of them believes it, she is betting, anyway, as long as she pleases both sides, no matter who wins in the end, she can get benefits.

I have to say that Arjun Nana is very smart and knows that both sides are together, but she obviously underestimated Li Yao and Mu Li, both of whom are very smart, and Mu Li is born with a fast brain, otherwise he would not have made his father Tuli, build this post-Turkic Khanate, and become the king and hegemon in the Mobei steppe.

Li Yao has long been accustomed to using these tricks, he doesn't want to use them, compared with Li Yao, Arjun Nana's two-sided tricks are simply weak, how can Li Yao use them so freely and skillfully, so Ajun Nana wants to take advantage of this to get benefits from both parties, and she is destined to deserve to be unlucky in the end, and it is not a pity to die.

Because in such an era, no matter what method you use, even if it is despicable and good, as long as you can win, then you are worthy of being praised for you, but if you lose, then it is naturally not a pity for you to die, and others will only say that you are stupid, not that you are unlucky.

This is the iron rule of this era.

When Tashi heard Mu Li say this, his eyes were stunned, and he asked, "Then what do we do now, do we believe her?"

"The letter is a positive letter, but I can't blindly believe it, you immediately order a few people to take the men and horses to Anbei City to inspect both sides, see if there are any large armies lurking on both sides, don't startle the snake. Pastoral replied affirmatively to Tashi and commanded him.
