Under the wind and snow.
Tuli Khan and Kumo Kedu, the chief of the Xi tribe, met on the left side of the road.
Tuli Khan asked: "I heard that your Lou Ji tribe is stationed in the dense forest in the mountains. Why did you suddenly come here today?"
"I heard that Khan wanted to see me a long time ago, so I came here to meet me today!"
Kumo Kedu was smiling but not smiling. He cupped his hands and replied.
"Hahahaha! I not only want to meet you, the Eagle-Louded Chief, but I also want to meet the fierce warriors under your command!"
Tuli Khan also said with a smile.
"In that case, does Khan think these warriors are brave?"
Kumo Kedu asked.
"A man is strong and his horse is strong, which is rare in ancient times!"
Tuli Khan nodded and replied.
"If I am willing to lead my troops and follow the Khan to serve in the Kingdom of Yazhangshi, I wonder if the Khan will accept it?"
Kumo Kedu looked at Tuli Khan and said seriously.
"Does Chief Cuomo really mean what he says?"
When Tuli Khan heard this, he was very happy and asked quickly.
"We, the people of the mountains and plains, have heard about Khan's reputation for a long time, but we are too anxious to see each other. Today we heard that the Khan's flag is marching westward, so we are waiting here specially just to serve the Khan!"
Kumo Keduzhe clasped his hands in his fists and said loudly.
turn out to be.
This person who can save Kumo is very thoughtful.
He knew that at this moment, in the land of Liaodong, the Turkic Kingdom was the most powerful.
but.
He did not want to go to Tuli Khan like an ordinary tribal leader and eventually get a moderate official position.
What he wanted was for Tuli Khan to know his strength and look at him differently.
then.
While Tuli Khan went to Yazhangshi Kingdom.
He specially led his troops to wait here in order to show his military might to Tuli Khan.
indeed.
This trick really worked.
When Tuli Khan heard what Kumo Kedu said, he was overjoyed and said immediately: "Okay, okay! I have the troops of Chief Kumo, which can withstand an army of more than 100,000 people!"
Say it.
He then asked Kumo Kedu to lead the troops and put them into his own army.
Nakumo Kedu also led his generals to meet with Turli Khan and other Turkic officials one by one.
When Tuli Khan saw that each of these generals were fierce by nature, he was naturally happy and bowed to everyone respectively.
"The final general will pull out the wilderness and specialize in demons. I have seen Khan!"
"The demons who will finally pull out the wild monsters have met Khan!"
Not for a while.
The two twin brothers, who were more than one foot tall, came to the front of Tuli Khan under the guidance of Kumo Kedu.
These two people were born extremely ugly, with green faces and red beards. They were very scary. However, they were very respectful in front of Kumo Kedu.
"Who are these two?"
See these two monster-like characters.
Tuli Khan liked it very much and asked Kumo Kedu.
Kumo Kedu said: "Reporting to the Khan, these two people are orphans picked up in the barren mountains. One is called Ba Ye Zhuan Mo Zhen, and the other is called Ba Ye Demon Hu. He is accustomed to fighting and has great length and strength.”
"Oh? I wonder what the two of them are capable of?"
Tuli Khan looked at Kumo Kedu and asked.
Kumo Kedu said: "The devil who is good at pulling out wild animals can use a pair of hammers, weighing one hundred and sixty kilograms. When they dance, they are like a violent storm, which is irresistible; the demon who is good at pulling out wild animals can use a pair of axes, which weigh one hundred pounds. Forty kilograms, swinging the two axes is like a strong wind and lightning, making the enemy unable to resist."
"That's it! He is indeed a heroic general! From today on, you two will join my Tiger Division and stay with me at any time!"
After listening to Kumo Kedu's words, Tuli Khan looked at the special demon Yao and the demon Hu, his eyes became more eager, and he said.
"Thank you Khan!"
When the two fierce generals heard this, they immediately knelt down and bowed their hands in thanks.
Since then.
Tuli Khan's command was reinforced by a fresh army.
after.
Everyone rested in a forest for the night and waited until the wind and snow subsided. Then the whole army got up and headed towards the Yazhang Stone Kingdom.
…
Turks.
Yazhang Shiguo.
Inside a large wolfskin tent.
The coals burned brightly.
The whole camp felt as warm as spring.
And above the main seat of the camp.
Wang Ke was reading a military book, but he felt bored.
"Lord, Mr. Xu is here."
at this time.
Yuan Tong, who was guarding the door, came in to report.
"Invite him in!"
When I heard that it was Xu Maogong coming.
Wang Ke immediately put down the book and looked outside the camp.
Soon.
Xu Maogong, who was dressed in white fox fur and had a handsome appearance, walked into the tent and saluted Wang Ke.
"Alas! Is it Qimin Khan who invites us to hunt again today?"
Looking at Xu Maogong.
Wang Ke joked and laughed.
"It's not a trivial matter like hunting today... I heard that Jieli Khan from the north, Tuli Khan from the east, and Bujia Khan from the west will arrive soon. Qimin Khan has already led the civil and military officials to greet them. ”
Xu Maogong said to Wang Ke with a smile.
"Oh? The three Khans arrived so soon?"
Hear the news.
Wang Ke raised his eyebrows and asked immediately.
Xu Maogong cupped his hands and said, "Exactly! Early this morning, Qimin Khan led his troops out to meet the three khans."
"Well... a Turkic Great Khan came to greet him in person. It seems that this Turkic people take the alliance very seriously!"
Wang Ke thought for a moment, couldn't help but smile, and said to Xu Maogong.
"This matter is related to the rise of the Turks. Each of these khans is very ambitious. How can they not respond positively? It seems that this alliance will lead to a fight among themselves."
Xu Maogong smiled slightly, stroked his long beard with his hand, and said to Wang Ke.
"In this case, sir, what should we do?"
Wang Ke looked at Xu Maogong and asked.
Xu Maogong pondered for a while, and then said: "Conquering the Tuyuhun territory is of great benefit to the Turks. Now the four khans must each want to compete for the main force, and they must not give in to each other. We only need to wait and see. , just look at the scene of the blazing fire cooking oil, and then make a decision."
"Well... the world of mortals on the other side is as busy as fire, but the mountains in Xuanqing are as cold as ice... Sir, you have a good plan."
Wang Ke nodded slightly and said.
"The mortal world on the other side of the river is as busy as fire, but the mountains on the mountain are as cold as ice. Good words, my lord!"
When Xu Maogong heard this, he smiled and flattered him in a timely manner.
Say it.
The two looked at each other and laughed at each other.
…
really.
That evening.
The Turkic general Bo Qishi, who was responsible for guarding the Sui army, walked into Wang Ke's military tent and handed over his hand to report: "Your Majesty! All the four Turkic Khans have arrived. I also invite the Marquis to move to the Shiwang Palace to attend the banquet."
"Okay! General, please wait a moment. After I change my clothes, I will go visit all the Turkic heroes!"
Wang Ke laughed and said to Bo Qishi.
Subsequently.
He put on his brocade robe and, together with Xu Maogong, Yuan Tong, Jin Wuzhu, Dai Tianxing, Shi Danai, Shi Dayi and Jiang Song, went straight to the palace.
Not for a while.
The Sui army and the Sui generals came to the palace of Yazhangshi Kingdom.
As soon as Wang Ke walked into the banquet hall, many Turkic leaders, civil servants, generals, and khans in the hall stood up together, bowed their hands to him, and said, "I have met the Marquis of Dingbei!"
"Everyone, please excuse me!"
Wang Ke smiled slightly and returned the favor.
"Master Marquis, please come and sit down here."
At this moment.
A middle-aged man with an elegant appearance, a long beard, and a traditional Turkic costume walked up quickly. He bowed slightly to Wang Ke first, and then led him to sit down next to Qimin Khan.
Wang Ke looked at this person with a glint in his eyes.
turn out to be.
This person was none other than Shi Shu Hu Xi, the civil servant and counselor Qimin Khan relied on most.
Although this man is a Turk, he is proficient in Sinology, resourceful and very powerful.
If it follows the original historical trajectory.
Shi Shu Hu Xi was killed by Pei Ju, which led to the break between the Turks and the Sui Dynasty, and northern Xinjiang continued to attack.
It can be seen from this.
This Shi Shu Hu Xi was so important to Qimin Khan.
but.
These thoughts flashed through Wang Ke's mind.
after.
The attendant in the hall could only hear the bronze bell ringing three times, which meant that the banquet had officially begun.
