On the north shore of the lake of Ala, Li Wu led a thousand Xia cavalry out of the desert and came directly towards the camp of the Qarluqs in the wetlands by the lake.
The Xia army was also unsheathed and ready for battle, and Li Wu, under the protection of several cavalrymen, slowly approached the Qarluq position.
"Who are you who would dare to go to the pastures of our Qarluqs?"
A mighty and fierce man shouted to Li Wu; Of course, this man did not speak Chinese and Dangxiang, but Turkic.
Li Wu received a strict education in the imperial palace from an early age, and Turkic was one of the main languages he learned; Li Wu Turkic said to the man: "We are from the Great Xia Kingdom, I am an envoy sent by the Great Xia Emperor, we have no malicious intentions here, and we are not here to rob your grassland, I have something to see your Ye Hu, and I also bothered a few people." ” "Wait here."
The man said with a fierce face, and immediately rode away after speaking.
After the man left, Li Wu underestimated in his heart, according to the marks on the map, although this is the territory of the Qarlu people, it is not the core area, but belongs to the northern Xinjiang region, the core area of the Qarluq people should be in the Yili River Valley, the area of Yiqi Wugu City, and as the big leader of the Qarluq people, Ye Hu should live in Yiqi Wugu City, not on the shore of Alahu Lake in northern Xinjiang; It seems that the situation of the Qarluq people is a little unpleasant, but this is a golden opportunity for Li Wu.
It didn't take much time to try, and a slightly older man came to Li Wu, this person was a standard Central Asian race, with a tall nose, brown eyes, broad shoulders, and a very long hardcover; After seeing Li Wu, this person very politely put his hand on his chest and bowed, "Distinguished guest from afar, I am Yao Livas, the great leader of the Qarluqs. ” Li Wu also returned the salute and said, "Hello Dear Ye Hu, it is my honor to be able to meet you. ” Circularis is a Turkic word meaning tiger, and at first glance, Circularis really looks like a tiger.
"Forgive us for our recklessness, guests from afar, your elite cavalry is a danger to our tribe, so they cannot enter our camp."
Yao Livas said to Li Wu very calmly.
"Of course, they won't enter your camp, but can you give my soldiers a place, we need rest after a long journey."
Li Wu pleaded with Yao Livas.
"Of course you can."
Yao Rivas commanded randomly; "Temur, lead them to the meadow to the east."
"Yes, Father."
The man who originally blocked Li Wu immediately received the order.
"Distinguished guests, please come inside."
Yao Livas invited Li Wu.
For Li Wu, a foreigner from afar, Yao Livas was very enthusiastic, because Yao Livas knew that the person in front of him was from the Great Xia Kingdom in the East, and it was not clear whether it was the emperor's envoy Yao Livas, but looking at Li Wu's temperament and dress, as well as the army led by Li Wu, Yao Livas could judge that Li Wu must be the son of a high-ranking official of the Great Xia Kingdom, so he would be so polite to Li Wu.
Immediately after entering the tent of Yaolivas, Yaorivas ordered: "Come, slaughter the fattest cattle and sheep to entertain our most honored guests." ” Li Wu glanced inside the big tent and found that the whole big tent looked a little shabby, not like the big tent of a big tribal leader; Li Wu tentatively asked Yao Livas: "Ye Hu shouldn't be in the Yili River Valley, why did he come to Alahu Lake in the northern Xinjiang?"
Li Wu's question seemed to touch Yao Livasi's sensitive nerves, and Li Wu could feel the anger in Yao Livasi's heart; Before Yaorivas could speak, another strong man said angrily: "It's not all because of the Khan's court and the Turgish, if it weren't for them, how would we have come to the far north. ” Li Wu frowned and said, "Ye Hu, why is this?"
Yao Livas sighed and said to Li Wu: "The envoy does not know, the ancestors of my Qarluq people once made great contributions at the beginning of the establishment of the Black Khan Dynasty; In order to reward our ancestors for their deeds, the Khanate decided to give us the land north of the Ili Valley, giving us absolute autonomy; However, the Turgish have been coveting our land, and just some time ago the Khan court acquiesced in the Turgish attacking us, and because we were not well prepared, we were suddenly attacked by the Turgish, and I had to take my people away from the land to pull down the area north of Alahu in the northern frontier.
The last few words were almost said through gritted teeth, which shows how resentful Yaorivas was in his heart.
"I see."
Li Wu suddenly realized; Although the expression on Li Wu's face was very sad, but Li Wu's heart had already blossomed, the Qarluq people were suppressed in the Black Khan Dynasty, which was a golden opportunity for the Great Xia Kingdom, if it could be used to split the Black Khan Dynasty and win the Qarluq people to their side, it would be equivalent to the Great Xia Kingdom hanging a sharp sword above the head of the Black Khan Dynasty, which was extremely beneficial to the strategy of the Great Xia Kingdom in the northwest region.
Not long after Li Wu's words fell, a man in his hand hurriedly broke in and said to Yaolivas: "Ye Hu is not good, the cavalry of the Tuqi Shi people has come from the west. ” "Ah" Yao Livas was shocked, and these noble generals of the Qarluq people below also talked about it, Yao Livas said with a gloomy face: "Ben Ye Hu can still be afraid that they will not succeed, and the sons and daughters gather the warriors in the tribe and follow Ben Ye Hu to face the Tuqi Shi people." ” Li Wu also followed Yao Livas out of the big tent, this time Yao Livas gathered all the people in the tribe, Li Wu roughly estimated, the Qarlu cavalry is only about 30,000, and the Turgish people opposite it have at least 50,000 cavalry, although the Turgish and Qarluq people are subordinate to the Black Khan Dynasty, but these steppe tribes are basically independent, when a dynasty is in a weak period, these tribes attack each other is a common thing; What's more, the Turgish attacked only at the behest of the Khan's court.
A young man led by the Turgishes shouted at Yaolivas: "Surrender at once if you are in the image of Yaolivas, and then sacrifice Toyir to this prince, who can also consider letting you Qarluqs go, otherwise you Qarluqs will wait to be destroyed."
At this moment, a very ordinary woman came riding from behind, this woman was covered with a black scarf and couldn't see what this looked like, but Li Wu also read countless people, just from the temperament Li Wuzhi knew that this must be a beauty, and for a while, the young Li Wu's heart was itchy like a cat's claw.
"Fengde, you are the talker, as long as I go with you, you will be willing to retreat."
The girl shouted to the young man opposite.
After hearing this, Fengde thought that he would be done immediately, so he said with a smile: "Of course, this prince is a good man, as long as you go with this prince, this prince will let your father and your brother go, and besides, this time we are just passing through here, my father Khan made the Great Khan's army order to go north and conquer the barbarians, but it will not delay much effort to destroy you." ” It is important to note here that the Black Khan Dynasty adopted the structure of the rule of the two khans, and there were many small khans under the Great Khan, and this rule was like a federation now.
Finally, I ask for everyone's support, Tianyu is grateful:
