The savannah in winter is a bleak place.Withered hay, accompanied only by snow.A gray hare nibbling on the dead leaves of a shrub.Suddenly, the hare stopped gnawing and pricked up its ears to listen to the movement.Not far from the hare, a dozen wild wolves appeared.The wolves' bodies looked scrawny and skinny, as if they hadn't had enough to eat in days.The hare spotted the wolves, and did not bother to eat, and with a kick of all fours, fled from the bush and hurried in the direction of the rabbit's nest.It was too late, and the wolves had spotted the hare, and chased after it.In just a few breaths, the wolf chased after the hare.With a howl, the wolf pounced forward, and his two front paws pressed the fleeing hare.The wolf's beak opened and took the hare's entire head into its mouth.The four paws of the hare fluttered incessantly.But in a few moments, the hare's body did not move, and hung dead under the wolf's mouth.The wolf began to bite the hare and feed.The rest of the wild wolves gathered around the head wolf, and did not dare to compete with the head wolf for food.The wolf's mouth was full of long saliva, and he obviously wanted to eat a few bites of rabbit meat.Suddenly, the head wolf raised his head and looked to the east.The rest of the wolves also seemed to be aware of it, and looked to the east together.In the east, a large dark cloud suddenly appeared above the horizon.At the same time, the ground under the wolves' feet trembled.The wolf howled to the sky, and he didn't care about biting the dead rabbit, so he tore open his four claws and fled in a hurry.The rest of the wolves followed closely behind the head wolf and fled into the distance.The dark clouds in the east rolled and drifted forward.Beneath the dark clouds, countless knights rode their horses at a gallop.Those knights were Turkic warriors.The clouds were the dust raised by the horses' hooves.Here, it is not far from the Yinshan camp in Jieli, and there are still fifty or sixty miles at most.Those knights were none other than the men and horses of the Turki Khan.Zhao Yunze and the team that lost their thinking power were also among them.Counting the time, today should be the second day after Jie Li just left Yinshan.At this moment, Tuli's army was not far from Yinshan, but Jieli's army had not yet reached Shuofang.Zhao Yunze only stayed in the camp of Tuli for more than a day and spent two nights.The night before, Yelu Zhenge, the leader of the Khitan tribe, and Wu Shimeng, the leader of the Ya tribe, met with Zhao Yunze.On the second day, Tuli arranged a hunt for Zhao Yunze.During the hunt, Yelu Zhenge and Wu Shimeng deliberately got close to Zhao Yunze, and stayed by Zhao Yunze's side almost the whole time.Tuli and the leaders of the other tribes also came to Zhao Yunze's side from time to time and chatted with him.On the night of this day, Yelu Zhenge and Wu Shimeng visited Zhao Yunze again.The meeting was very long, and the three of them talked for a long time in the tent.Early in the morning of the second day, Zhao Yunze resigned to Tuli.Tuli stayed for a while, Zhao Yunze insisted on leaving, and Tuli said to Zhao Yunze that he was also going to Yinshan to visit Jieli.So, Tuli's men and horses went on the road with Zhao Yunze.Halfway through, Turi meets a samurai from his headquarters.The warrior came from the camp of Yinshan.Jieli and Tuli have long been full of contradictions, and there are also secret agents of the other party in the tooth court of both sides.This warrior is the spy arranged by Tuli to Yinshan.The spy told Tuli that Jieli had left Yinshan with 20,000 horses and went to Shuofang.As soon as he heard that Jieli was not in Yinshan and had taken away 20,000 soldiers and horses, Tuli's mind couldn't help but move.However, he did not dare to say to his subordinates that he wanted to attack Yinshan.After thinking of Yin Mountain, he looked at the direction of the wind.Zhao Yunze was secretly relieved when he learned that Jieli had left Yinshan.Old man Wen is not small, and he can actually say that he will leave the nest in person.Li Ji is also very powerful, he obviously made a big disturbance in Shuofang.After learning the news, he thought silently.No one knows what he's thinking.The dividing line is Yin Mountain, and the camp is a big camp.Zhao Deyan had already received the news and was surprised to learn that Tuli had actually brought fifty or sixty thousand horses to Yinshan.Could it be that Tuli knew that Jieli Khan had left Yinshan, and wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble, so Zhao Deyan hurriedly went to Princess Yicheng to discuss countermeasures.After that, the Yinshan camp entered a state of alert.Zhao Deyan also hurriedly sent a messenger to Shuofang to report to Jieli.The messenger sent by Zhao Deyan, the messenger sent by Princess Yicheng to inform Jieli that Xiao was seriously ill, set off only two hours later.Ashid Wumersi did not follow Wen Yanbo to leave Yinshan, and Li Ren did not leave Yinshan.Li Ren disguised himself and Asted Wumer and left him with Xiao to act as her bodyguard.The Xiao family came to Yinshan from Dingxiang this time, and the guards and servants combined with three or four hundred people.There are two more people, and it can't attract the attention of outsiders at all.The clansmen of Ashed Wumersi, and the important personnel among them, have been contacted by Ashed Wumersi through the Xiao clan in the past two days.These important personnel quietly notified their henchmen below.Everything, just waiting for Zhao Yunze to return to Yinshan.When the Tuli army arrived at Yinshan, it was already evening.The Yinshan battalion has entered full alert.Around the wall, groups of samurai bows and arrows were wound and guarded closely.In the open space in the camp, the cavalry also got on their horses and put up a battle formation, and they could rush out of the camp to fight at any time.Tuli's army stopped more than a mile away from the Yinshan camp.Seeing that the Yinshan camp was heavily guarded, Tuli did not dare to move forward.At this time, he drove his horse to Tuli's side and said to him: "Little Khan, Taishi Zhao and Yicheng Kedun obviously misunderstood your intention to come here.Why don't you go and explain it to them in an advanced battalion. ”"It's okay, then there will be a general who has lost his labor."
Tuli nodded and said.Zhao Yunze also said: "Little Khan, a certain person also entered the camp with General Zhifu and went to join the people of the mission. ”Tuli hesitated, he originally wanted to borrow Zhao Yunze's identity to put pressure on Yinshan.If Zhao Yunze entered the camp, then his plan would be in vain.But he couldn't think of a suitable reason to prevent Zhao Yunze from entering the camp.After thinking for a while, Tu Li said to Zhao Yunze: "I also have to have Master Lao Zhao explain to Master Zhao why he came here. ”As long as Zhao Yunze spoke out to defend himself, the purpose of Tuli was also achieved."
Khan rest assured, a certain duty is unshirkable."
Zhao Yunze nodded and said.Next, Zhi Sili and Zhao Yunze's men left Tuli's brigade and headed for the main gate of the Yinshan camp.Zhao Deyan was at the main gate at this time.He saw that Zhao Yunze and Zhi Zhi's thinking power were coming, but he didn't rush to order someone to open the gate.When Zhao Yunze and Zhifu Sili walked to Yuanmen, Zhao Deyan asked across the Yuanmen: "Deputy Envoy Zhao, General Zhizhi, why did you attract the army of the Tuli Little Khan" "The Taishi misunderstood, the Tuli Little Khan is here, just to meet with the Tang Mission." ”Obsessively said."
It's enough to meet with the mission and bring a thousand guards, why did the little Khan of Tuli bring so many soldiers and horses," Zhao Deyan asked again.Zhao Yunze said: "This is the idea of the little Khan of Tuli himself.What is the purpose of bringing so many people here, it is inconvenient to ask. ”Zhi Sili smiled and said, "It's not that the Taishi doesn't know that the Great Khan of Jieli and the Little Khan of Tuli have had some unhappiness in the past two years.When the little khan came to Yinshan, he naturally didn't dare to bring fewer troops.If the Taishi is not worried about the little khan, he will order him to return to the dental court.Or, let him camp in the distance first, and wait for the Great Khan to return to Yinshan, and then make plans.A certain and Deputy Envoy Zhao were going to enter the camp.We can't go out of the camp once, and we will become outsiders" The stubbornness and thinking power have come to this point, and Zhao Deyan can't help but let go of the stubborn thinking power and Zhao Yunze into the camp.The gate opened, and the men and horses of Zhizhi Sili and Zhao Yunze entered the camp."
At the moment of the little Khan's army, I don't dare to be careless, so please take care of yourself.I'm sorry," Zhao Deyan said with Zhao Yunze arching his hand."
The master is loyal to his duties, how dare he delay the master's business."
After saying a word, he walked with Zhao Yunze to the depths of the camp.There was no movement on the Tuli side, and the fifty or sixty thousand horses froze.The number of tens of thousands, boundless, and the army of 50,000 or 60,000 people spread out, occupying more than ten miles of land, covering almost all the front of the Yinshan camp.Similarly, there was no movement on the side of the Yinshan camp.Zhao Deyan was thinking about countermeasures.Tuli waited for a while, and saw that the Yinshan camp was still on alert, and no one came to contact him, so he suddenly couldn't hold back his temperament."
Go to someone, let Zhao Deyan open the door and come out to greet Ben Khan."
Tuli ordered.A guard drove his horse to the gate of the camp.He didn't get off the horse, let alone salute Zhao Deyan, and directly said to Zhao Deyan immediately: "Little Khan has an order, let Zhao Taishi open the gate and come out to welcome Little Khan into the camp." ”Zhao Deyan said in his heart: Tuli is a big shelf, and let me go to meet him, you wait" The Great Khan was not in the camp, but went to Shuofang.The little khan suddenly came here, and he didn't know how to entertain the little khan.Go back and tell the little khan to let him set up camp first, and then make plans when the great khan returns. ”Zhao Deyan said to the guard.The guard returned to Tuli and relayed Zhao Deyan's words to Tuli.Unable to make up his mind, he summoned his subordinates to discuss.At this time, Zhao Yunze had already come to Empress Xiao's tent.Empress Xiao is still pretending to be sick.Inside the tent, there were only four personal maids, Li Ren and Ashdewumer.Li Ren and Ashdewumo also came to the tent of the Shaw clan immediately after seeing the arrival of the Tuli army.They knew that as soon as Zhao Yunze returned to the camp, he would definitely come to see the Xiao family.Zhao Yunze was stunned when he saw Li Ren and Ashide Wumo, he didn't recognize these two."
My lord, it's me and Lao."
Li Ren said with a smile at Zhao Yunze."
I was shocked, I thought there were outsiders here."
Zhao Yunze suddenly realized."
Li Ren, you really have two disguise techniques" "Lord Zhao is back" Xiao Shi got up from the bedding.Since there are no outsiders, she doesn't pretend to be sick."
Just came back.Niangniang's side is ready" Zhao Yunze didn't care about etiquette, and asked Xiao directly."
It's all ready to go."
Shaw replied."
What about you over there," Zhao Yunze asked Ashide Wumo again."
All the people who should be contacted have been contacted, as long as the adults give an order, we will immediately reverse the Yinshan camp."
Asdewumer said."
That's good, you guys hurry up and make the final preparations, and in a while, Tuli should attack."
Zhao Yunze hurriedly said."
Tuli is really going to attack the camp," Shaw asked.Zhao Yunze smiled and said, "Even if he doesn't want to attack, there are people who will light a fire and start a war." ”:
