Chapter 15: The Divine Decree
"It's not that I'm blowing to you, with the strength of my strong brother, ten Arislan came at the same time, and it was for nothing. Zhou Fa frothed at the mouth and stopped Li Qiang's horse and fell down the story of the Xi warrior Arislan, and sorted it out according to his ideas. Satisfied finish.
"That's amazing!" the two Xi girls exclaimed at the same time.
The girl next to Zhou Fa asked, "Then your kung fu is similar to Li Qiang, right?"
Zhou Fa took a big sip of milk soup and replied stubbornly: "That...... That is, although I don't usually like to show much, but my skills are not much worse than those of Hadron. ”
"Then you are also a warrior like Li Qiang. ”
The girl praised, and there was a little more admiration in her eyes.
"Smack!"
Su Zhi Yisi slapped the Hu bed heavily, and the sound of the Hu bed and the palm colliding focused the attention of everyone in the felt tent on him.
Just now, Li Qiang was attracted by Zhou Fa's story, and he didn't know what was going on on the other side of the felt tent.
"What's wrong?" Li Qiang asked Li Gaoming on the right hand in a low voice.
"It's a long story, you stopped two of the three spies we were chasing today. The rest didn't catch up, and now he should be about to return to the side of Xibu Khan Uguru. The tribe of Suzhi Yisi has developed very well in recent years, and it has threatened the position of Uguru Khan, and he himself has the idea of competing for the throne. But the elders of the tribe and the clan who were attached to him disagreed. There was another quarrel just now. In terms of strength, there are probably more than 20,000 people in the Su branch, but there are 20,000 soldiers on the Wugulu side who can carry knives and mount horses. After Li Gaoming finished explaining, he added in a low voice: "However, our Datang supports Su Zhiyi." ”
I see.
"When the wolf king in the wolf pack is old, there will be a new wolf king to take his place, Wugulu is already old, and the khan of the Xi clan should naturally take the turn of our Su branch. Su Zhiyi's angry voice flew in the felt tent.
"Da Aijin, although Wugulu is old, he still has 20,000 iron horsemen under his account. ”
"The athletes of our Soviet branch are as brave as the iron horsemen of Wugulu. Su Zhi Yisi used the bravery of his own people to respond to the doubts, but deliberately avoided the gap in numbers between the two sides. He clapped his hands and called a few warriors: "Bring Azhislan here." ”
After a while, the sturdy Arislan was tied up by the five flowers. He was still asleep, with a lot of abrasions on his body, but they were not serious, his mouth was gagged with strips of cloth, and his chest was evenly undulating.
Su Zhiyi proudly said to his clan: "The hero from the Central Plains has captured the most courageous Arislan under Ugulu for us, and this is the beginning of Wugulu's demise!"
"It's really Arislan!"
"The bravest lion under the Ugru's tent!"
"Arislan has been captured alive!"
The clansmen whispered that they had just heard the news of the capture of Arislan. But seeing it with my own eyes at the moment still caused a commotion.
An old man stood up from the first seat on the right hand side of Su Zhiyi: "Da Aijin, under your leadership, our Su branch is becoming more and more prosperous day by day. We never doubted that you could lead us to become the wolf king of the Xi clan. Although Wugulu is old, he still has a full 20,000 iron horses. He is the patriarch recognized by Xue Yantuo Khan, and those shamans with boundless mana in Xue Yantuo have been sent into the felt tent of Wugulu, and now is not the time to tear their faces. ”
The Xueyantuo Khanate is now the most powerful tribe in the steppe. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty defeated the Eastern Turkic Khanate, and the Xueyantuo Khanate filled the vacuum of power on the steppe. Its borders extend to the east to the Jinshan, the south to the desert, and the north to the Kulun water. Even the Tang people in the south said that Xue Yantuo had won 200,000 troops according to the Xiongnu's homeland.
In the past two years, their shaman has suddenly been blessed by the Immortal Heaven and has mastered the power of thunder and fire.
Last year, the Buyeo refused to obey Xue Yantuo Khan's dispatch. Xue Yantuo Khan sent a shaman to punish them with a heavenly fire, and the fire burned for a month. Burned all the felt tents of the Buyeo people, burned the cattle and sheep of the Buyeo people, burned the pastures of the Buyeo people, and burned the hometown of the Buyeo people.
The Xi people in the tent quieted down, even if their leader was the powerful Su Zhi Yisi, but in the face of Wugulu, who had the support of Xue Yantuo Khan, did they really have a chance of winning?
At the beginning, the Fuyu people were also a strong tribe in Modong, but after a heavenly fire, they completely lost the strength to compete with the Xueyantuo Khanate for the grassland. This heavenly fire not only burned down the homes of the Buyeo people, but also burned the confidence and hope of all the tribes on the grassland to fight against the Xue Yantuo tribe.
Although the Soviet branch has been boiling in recent years, it is still far from being as prosperous as the Buyeo people were at the beginning. If this heavenly fire was rained down on the body of the Su branch by the shaman of Xue Yantuo......
That......
Su Zhi Otsumi did not succeed in convincing his people, and he did not know how to explain to them that they could defeat Uguru, even if Uguru had 20,000 iron horsemen, even if Ugulu had the support of the shaman of Xue Yantuo.
He secretly glanced at Li Gaoming out of the corner of his eye.
Li Gaoming, who was sitting in the first place on the left hand side of Su Zhiyi, stood up and walked to the middle of the felt tent.
"Respected Su Branch Ai Jin and the elders, you may wish to listen to the advice of me, a person from afar. ”
The noisy voice in the tent suddenly subsided, and it could be seen that Li Gaoming had quite a prestige in the Soviet branch.
"A few days ago, the spies of Uguru approached your felt tent with a scimitar. He saw the threat posed to him by the prosperity of the Soviet branch, and he coveted the women and pastures of the Soviet branch. ”
"Even if the proud Soviet branch is willing to endure for a while and crawl at the feet of Wugulu, who dares to guarantee that Wugulu's iron hooves will not take the initiative to step on?"
"If the proud Su branch submits to Uguru this time, then Arislan will return safely to Uguru's tent. If one day, he comes back with a bow and arrows and a scimitar, who will be able to resist the warriors of the Soviet branch?"
"It was the dispute provoked by Uguru, and the men of the Soviet branch just wanted to defend their homeland. ”
Li Gaoming said a few words and made the whole situation clear to the people in the tent.
"The distinguished guest of the Central Plains is right, Arislan brought knives and guns instead of cattle and sheep!"
"It's not us who started the incident, we're just defending our hometown!"
The ridicule people of the Su branch followed Li Gaoming's train of thought and shouted loudly.
Seeing that his words had already had an impact on the Su branch, Li Gaoming continued with satisfaction: "Wugulu has the support of Xue Yantuo's department, and the Su branch has the entire Tang Dynasty as the backing!
Li Gaoming instructed the guards at the door of the tent, dressed in purple silk robes, wearing lacquered yarn crowns, and horizontal knives at their waists, to hold a purple wooden box, take out a bright yellow silk brocade shaft inside, and unfold it to Su Zhiyi and the tribal elders.
"In June of the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty appointed Su Zhi Yisi as the master of the grassland between the weak Luoshui and the Tuhu Zhenshui. ”
The edict of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!
Li Qiang knew that Zhenguan was Li Shimin's era name. During the Zhenguan period, it was the most powerful era of cultural and martial arts in the history of 4,600 years!
Who is Li Gaoming?
Li Gaoming took out the holy decree, and Su Zhiyi stood up with all the clan elders, and everyone had a complicated look on their faces.
No one stepped forward to answer the order!
It's not that they don't know etiquette, they're hesitating!
Li Gaoming realized, and he asked the first elder on Su Zhiyi's right hand, "I don't know what other concerns the elder has?"
The old elder was the wisest person in the Su branch, and everyone was waiting for his opinion.
"Although Datang is strong, the sea in the distance can't save the flames nearby. Even if the emperor of the Tang Dynasty sent warriors today, by the time they were in front of Xue Yantuo's felt tent, it was already autumn. The heavenly fires sent down by the shamans have already burned the Su branch to ashes. ”
The elder is right, yes, the sea in the distance cannot save the flames in the distance.
The Tang Dynasty is thousands of miles away from us, Xue Yantuo's 200,000 iron horsemen are a few hundred miles away, and the shaman under the Wugulu tent is less than a hundred miles away from the felt tent of the Soviet branch.
"Dear Elder, what you said makes a lot of sense. The Tang Emperor knew about the situation here, and just a month ago, the Turkic Khan, Ashina Simo, had been ordered by the Tang Emperor to lead his people north to fight against the Xue Yantuo tribe. In less than half a month, you will be able to arrive at Baidaochuan. At that time, from the Soviet branch to the Turkic department, it would only take five days for fast horses. ”
"As for the shaman sent by Xue Yantuo to Uguru, there is no need to worry, pull down the warriors of Arislan, and you can fight against the shaman's witchcraft!"
Li Gaoming was saying loudly, only to hear a crisp wolf howl coming from the tent, attracting the attention of everyone inside and outside the tent.
"Whew~~!"
