Chapter 61: A Strange Situation
No one can deny that the Eastern Turks are the most powerful force in the world.
The Turks existed a little earlier than the Sui Dynasty, and during the Wuhu Rebellion, the Turkic Khanate was an extremely powerful force.
For the grassland people, livestock is the livelihood, water and grass are the basic conditions, and the people on the prairie are fighting for hegemony around these two elements.
Starting from the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Rouran and today's Turks have become the overlords of the steppes one after another, and some ethnic groups have been annexed and merged with the annexors, while others have taken refuge in distant places, and the speed of change is unimaginable for the Han people in China.
In this situation, all the nations that can survive are brave and brave, and they still use force to protect water and grass livestock, so there are many masters and countless capable people.
Even if the Sui Dynasty did not decay to the point of near extinction, the Eastern Turks were still a formidable enemy, even more so now.
But no matter how strong the Eastern Turks were, Zhang Xiao had to defeat and dismember them.
As for the reason, it's simple. On the one hand, because Zhang Xiao wants to unify the world, then he must destroy the Eastern Turks, you must know that in the near future, the Eastern Turks will perish in the hands of Li Shimin, since Zhang Xiao wants to be the emperor, then he can't do worse than him.
On the other hand, Zhang Xiao is thinking about himself.
Although Zhang Xiao is still the leader of the beggar army, he has been away from the beggar army for a long time, and even if his old subordinates are loyal, they will inevitably be a little alienated now.
Frankly speaking, the only thing Zhang Xiao can trust at this time is the guards he created with his own hands, after all, Zhang Xiao's rise was not long, and his foundation was not very solid.
If Zhang Xiao doesn't want to start a big purge. Then it is necessary to establish an image of invincibility, an image that is enough to make everyone retract their careful thoughts.
No doubt. The Eastern Turks are the most suitable targets for surgery, because there is only one force in the world that is stronger than the beggar army.
Kill the chicken and show it to the monkey. That's the truth.
Zhang Xiao crouched in the woods at the eastern edge of the hilly area, looking at the camp of the Turkic Golden Wolf Army from afar, under the reflection of the sun, the sunny side of the camp tent was dyed with red glow, and the other side dragged out a long shadow on the grassland, there was a kind of indescribable beauty of sadness, and it was also particularly gentle, but it was a pity that the owners of these camps regarded killing and looting as commonplace, and liked the Turks who went to the Central Plains to fight the grass valley the most.
Although Zhang Xiao is very confident in his guards. thought that they could defeat a hundred with one enemy, but no matter how confident Zhang Xiao was, he would not think that his guards had the ability to deal with the famous Turkic wolf rider with one enemy and a hundred.
Even with the cheapness of a sneak attack, it is almost impossible to win.
Even if he really wins by luck, it is estimated that there will not be many centaurs left in Zhang Xiao's guards who will be alive.
In order to obtain the greatest benefit, Zhang Xiao had to use the decapitation tactic, first killing Jieli Khan with a knife, and then killing Jieli's generals as much as possible to disrupt his military camp. Wait until Jieli's army becomes a mess, and then let the whole Guards attack. One gram down.
This tactic is old, but it works. Because Zhang Xiao wants to kill Jieli and probe for things.
As for the grasp of the timing, Zhang Xiao will hand it over to Shen Luoyan, after all, she is the real military master. Even if Zhang Xiao personally commanded, she couldn't do better.
As in the same situation when he assassinated Li Mi, Zhang Xiao swaggered directly towards the Turkic king's tent.
But this time. Zhang Xiao was a lot more careful, not only wearing Turkic clothes. I didn't have a beautiful woman with me.
Zhang Xiao was a lot more careful this time, because he didn't come to play this time. Rather, they came to kill.
I have to say that compared with Li Mi's tent, the Turkic tent may be more lax
Zhang Xiao walked very naturally and kindly, casually chatting with the Turkic soldiers patrolling around, and maybe saying a few meat jokes to relieve boredom.
Like the last assassination of Li Mi, he directly aroused the demons in the hearts of these patrol soldiers, making them think that Zhang Xiao was a distinguished guest of the grassland people, and a distinguished guest who could not be neglected
As for why Zhang Xiao was able to walk around in the barracks, why he hadn't seen it before, and many other small things, he subconsciously ignored them.
"Hey, brother, where is the Great Khan's royal tent? I have an urgent matter to see the Turkic Great Khan" Zhang Xiao casually hooked up a steppe man and asked
Seeing Zhang Xiao's inquiry, the big man showed a look of honor on his face, pointed to the largest camp, and introduced Zhang Xiao in detail
The demons are invisible, as long as Zhang Xiao seduces the demons of these people slightly, they will confuse their thinking, and subconsciously regard Zhang Xiao as their closest person.
Therefore, no matter how many guards there are, it is useless to Zhang Xiao, only when he encounters a real master, Zhang Xiao has the possibility of leakage.
However, although Zhang Xiao's hand is ingenious, his real strength is his own strength.
You must know that there are not necessarily a few people who can do Zhang Xiao's point, and it is not difficult for top assassins like Shi Zhixuan and Yang Xuyan to sneak into the Turkic king's tent, the real difficulty is how to kill people, and the difficulty is how to escape.
Frankly speaking, although Zhang Xiao easily came to the Turkic King, there was always an ominous premonition in his heart, as if he had neglected something, and there was always a faint sense of crisis in his heart.
And he could feel that this sense of crisis was fatal.
In other words, he was in danger of dying.
Zhang Xiao didn't know why, because it stands to reason that this operation would be unsuccessful at best, and it wouldn't have been killed because of it.
However, his premonition will not be fake, because with Zhang Xiao's current realm, he has been able to "move before the autumn wind arrives", since he feels the danger, there must be danger.
However, although Zhang Xiao was not a timid person after all, it was impossible for him to retreat because of this, so he directly opened the camp tent and strode in.
The whole tent looked empty, and here an ugly-looking old man sat quietly on the ground.
He had an unusually narrow face, all of which were flaws that no one wanted to have, more like a crowd in a heap, which made his forehead appear particularly high, his chin was slender and a little cumbersome, and the bridge of his nose was unusually tall and huge, making his eyes and mouth even more small in comparison.
Although Zhang Xiao had never seen him, he knew that there could only be one ugly ghost like him in the world.
That is Fu Cailin, the master of Yijian.
It's a really weird situation. (To be continued......)
