Section 299 His masterpiece
Liu Yu understands that the relationship between the Khitan and the Central Plains is now cold-hearted, but he still has doubts in his heart, and he doesn't understand what Yelu Shilu means by "needing his help", "It's difficult for me to even stand up now, I don't know why Your Excellency still needs a person like me?"
Yelu Shilu squinted at him and said faintly, "You are a man who can fight, maybe lying down injured will make your mind clearer." It www.biquge.info's a pity that we weren't all the way before, and we didn't have the opportunity to join forces until now. ”
Liu Yu shook his head, "You have so many elite soldiers and strong generals under your command, and the Yili Sumire of the eight tribes are all under your orders, how can there be a lack of a young man like me who is ignorant of the world." ”
Yelu Shilu's expression turned gray in an instant, his eyes were gloomy, and after a long silence, he swallowed some of the words that came to his lips back into his stomach, and only said the following, "This is the fate of our Khitans, and it has always been a plate of loose sand! ”
The two waited in the tent, the air unusually quiet, as if the flow had stopped. The flames in the glass lamp were still flickering, reflecting the oil color under the wick.
The people inside the tent were silent, and those outside the tent would never dare to rush in. After all, no one has two heads on their heads, and even if they did, they were just two.
Liu Yu stared at the dried blood stains on his body and said, "I have thought about it several times, you are a Khitan, I am a Han Chinese, I can't agree to your request, let alone become your subordinate." But I will still do what needs to be done, and tomorrow I will leave to inquire about the news of the Tibetan people. As for my sixth master, if you refuse to let go, then I will save myself, and then there will be nothing to talk about between us. ”
Yelu Shilu didn't expect such a reply, he took a deep breath, and slowly spit it out, and let out a long sigh through the long night, "You should stay a little longer, it's always right to think about it, just sit and chat with an old friend." ”
Liu Yu doesn't have such a sinister and cunning old friend, and he is even more reluctant to chat with such a person. But he still did not say anything to leave, for he had a vague sense that Jerusherus seemed to be waiting to show him something, and that it might be the man's handiwork.
About a stick of incense passed, Liu Yu judged that it should be late at night outside the tent at this time. At this time, there was a faint commotion from a distance, and the sound was getting louder and louder, and it should be getting closer and closer to the king's tent.
When Jerusherus heard the voice, he clapped his palms a few times, and a soldier who was guarding outside the tent quickly swept in the curtain and fell to his knees.
"Forty cauldrons ready?" asked Jerusher.
"Declare the Great Khan, ready!" the soldier lay on the ground, his head lowered again.
"Light the firewood!" said Jerusher.
When the soldier received the order, he quickly got up from the ground and withdrew from the tent to do what the Great Khan had commanded.
The sound of clear shouts and swords clashing entered the king's tent, but it was like those impatient night insects, and after a few calls, they fell silent again.
Yelu Shilu stood facing his throne as the Khan king, leaving Liu Yu with a back, and never moved from beginning to end. Liu Yu couldn't see his expression, let alone guess what he was thinking. There was a trace of frustration in his heart, maybe he would only end up in a defeat when he fought with this person.
The riding boots of Jerusher's guards clanged on the ladder outside the door, breaking the awkward silence in the tent.
The curtain of the tent was opened, and the guards escorted more than 100 bloodied people into the tent one after another, filling the tent to the brim. At this time, Yelu Shilu turned around and swept his cold gaze over the faces of these people one by one. He didn't look as satisfied as he expected, let alone happy, and his melancholy face was a little gray.
Liu Yu reluctantly turned around from the soft bed, and caught in the faces of these captured people. The first person to bear the brunt of this was Princess Brother Liu. Princess Liu's neck was splattered with blood, but there were no wounds, and most of the blood was not her own. In this way, even at the moment of life and death, there are still many men who are willing to sacrifice their lives for her.
She used her charm to successfully incite many of the noble children of the Eight Divisions, including two Yili Sumire from the Youpin Department and the B Division, to rebel against Yelu Shilu together during the invasion of the Tibetans. She wanted to attack the Great Tent of the Khan King at night and kill Yelu Shilu, so as to turn the clouds and rain, subvert the pattern on the grassland in one fell swoop, and realize the long-cherished wish of the bronze horse in her heart to solve the northern troubles for the imperial court.
If this matter can be done, then she can be regarded as a great contribution to the court, and she can invite the great eunuch Tian Lingzi to take credit, and ask him to fulfill the marriage between herself and his godson Tongma;
However, in her opinion, the winning side accounts for the vast majority after all, and Yelu Shilu is currently overwhelmed by the Tubo people, and he is really anxious, and he will definitely not be able to guard against the defection of these closest people under his command. Therefore, she did not bring the bronze horse with her, and thus lost the last chance to die together. She was even ready to take down Liu Yu according to the method suggested by Zhu Wen after winning this battle, and by that time Tongma's illness would be cured, and the two of them could not stop it on the grassland, which could be regarded as all right.
In addition to her, there was another person who caught Liu Yu's attention, and that was Mrs. Xiao's brother Xiao Heda. Xiao Heda was weak and thin, and he stood tremblingly behind a group of blood-soaked strong men, looking quite unusual. Unlike the others, his mouth was gagged tightly with a piece of fur, and he couldn't speak.
This unlucky fellow has not had good luck ever since he was forcibly captured by Jelu Shilu for the sake of his cousin of the same clan. He looked at Yelu Shilu expectantly, struggling to remove the fur stuffed in his mouth, and begged the great khan for mercy, but was stopped by Yelu Shilu.
"Xiao Heda, stop it! The whole grassland knows that you have a powerful mouth, and no one can listen to your words without changing their minds. ”
Yelu Shilu has long known that this Xiao Heda is a famous lobbyist on the grassland, and he is very good at demagoguery, and no one can stop him with a sharp mouth. So when he sent someone to recruit this person, he deliberately sent a few deaf people over, and let these deaf people keep watching this person during the martial arts competition, so that this person did not escape.
