"Yan'er, I saw a girl in the Central Plains. The jade bracelet she wore was exactly the same as the one you wore!"
In the big tent, Wu Jie took off his blood-stained black robe and placed it on the table next to him. Then he sat shirtless opposite the Turkic woman and suddenly said something for no reason.
Due to years of practicing martial arts, Wu Jie's muscles are very well-proportioned, and he also has some large and small scars, but they are all old injuries, at least ten years ago, which means that in the past ten years, he has almost No one suffered any injuries. Previously at Longmen Pass, Wu Jie and Xuan Qing fought. The seventh form of Xuan Qing's Taixuan Nine Swords only caused some internal injuries to Wu Jie but did not leave any wounds on Wu Jie's body.
Wu Jie said something for no reason, which stunned the Turkic woman opposite. Immediately afterwards, the woman's expression changed, and she looked at Wu Jie with extremely complicated eyes, and asked: "You...you mean you are in the Tang Dynasty?" Saw a girl wearing a herring bracelet?"
After that, the woman took off the jade bracelet on her wrist, and saw that the jade bracelet was crystal clear and glowed with a faint green color, just like a clear lake. What is amazing is that there are three places in the bracelet. The blue patterns are very regular in shape. At first glance, it looks like three herrings swimming inside the jade bracelet. It is really lifelike and incredible!
Priceless!
This jade bracelet is absolutely priceless!
"Yes! Exactly the same!"
Wu Jie looked at the beautiful woman in front of him steadily and spoke word by word.
After hearing Wu Jie's affirmative answer, the woman's expression changed several times, and returned to normal after a moment. She smoothed her hair in front of her forehead and pretended to be calm and said: "Ah! There are such coincidences in this world! Wu Jie, What’s that little girl’s name?”
After asking this question, a trace of hope flashed in the corner of the woman's eyes, but she concealed it well.
Wu Jie shook his head and said, "I don't know! At that time I only heard someone calling her Xiao Yu'er! Yan'er, do you know this girl?"
A flash of panic suddenly flashed in the woman's eyes, and she quickly said: "How... how is it possible? I have never met her, how can we know her?"
Wu Jie frowned and said, "If that girl has nothing to do with you, why is she wearing the same jade bracelet as you?"
The woman's expression was stagnant, but she still argued: "This must be a coincidence, right?"
"Hmph! Coincidence?"
Wu Jie couldn't help but a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. He looked directly at the woman opposite and said: "This kind of herring jade bracelet is rare in the world, but now two of them appear together. Yan'er, are you telling me this is a coincidence? "
The woman's expression changed, then she stood up and said, "Don't you believe me?"
Wu Jie frowned and said, "How do you expect me to trust you?"
The woman "hummed" and said, "That's the truth, it's up to you to believe it or not!"
After a pause, the woman spoke again: "I went to find Father Khan. Although Father Khan didn't say anything about this defeat, he must still blame you in his heart. I will go and intercede for you!"
After that, the woman left the tent without looking back.
………………………
"Simo, why did you try to dissuade Ben Khan just now?"
In the royal tent, Jieli had a cold face and said in a deep voice to Ashina Simo who was standing next to him.
Ashina Simo took a step forward, bowed and saluted, and said: "Great Khan, more than two months ago, the Khitan chief led his tribe to defect to the Tang Dynasty. Simo was ordered to go to Chang'an to ask for people, and even promised to surrender. The Tang Emperor not only refused to agree to Shuofang's conditions, but also sent troops to annihilate Liang Shidu. What does this mean? It means that the Tang Dynasty at this time is not afraid of us at all!
This time, the Imperial Guards and Sheer Teqin led their troops into the Tang Dynasty. The Emperor of Tang Dynasty will definitely be extremely angry. There is a high possibility that the Tang Dynasty court will mobilize a large army to attack the grassland. We have to guard against it! At this critical moment, the Great Khan must not do anything that would cause his own wings to be cut off, causing pain to his relatives and happiness to his enemies. The national preceptor cannot punish him, nor can he kill Sheer Teqin! Please Khan, please put the overall situation first! "
Jie Li's eyes flashed, he looked at Simo, and said thoughtfully: "You mean, Li Shimin might mobilize a large army to attack the grassland this time?"
Ashina Simo nodded and said: "It's very possible to return to the Great Khan!"
"Tsk~!"
"joke!"
Hearing this, Jie Li sneered and said, "Not to mention that I have millions of people who can control strings. It's just this vast grassland. As long as Li Shimin dares to send troops, I will definitely let his people come." No return! We are the kings of this grassland!"
confidence!
This is the confidence of the Lord of Eastern Turks!
Of course, he is indeed qualified to be so confident. Although there is civil strife in East Turkestan, Jieli still has more soldiers than Li Er. On the other hand, the grassland is a quite unfamiliar environment for the Han people in the Central Plains. There is no reference point in the endless prairie, and it is easy for Tang people to get lost here! Therefore, in the case of "fighting away from home", Jieli can be said to have taken advantage of the right time, location, and people, and his chances of winning are infinite!
Ashina Simo didn't think so. Seeing that Jieli couldn't listen to his words, he frowned and said with a worried look on his face:
"Great Khan, three years ago, when Li Shimin's throne was not stable, you invaded the Tang Dynasty and marched directly to the capital of the Tang Dynasty. Then the Great Khan signed an alliance with the Tang Emperor and emptied all the treasuries in Chang'an. Go back! Although this move has caused great trouble to Li Shimin who just took office, do you know that in the past few years, Datang is no longer the same Datang that we bullied?
Last June, the Tang Dynasty court sent a fleet to the south. They exchanged millions of kilograms of grain and countless rare treasures in the small Southeast Asian country. The treasury of Chang'an City that we emptied was filled again, so this year The locust plague in the Guanzhong area of the Tang Dynasty did not damage the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. In other words, as long as the Emperor of Tang was willing, the Tang Dynasty was fully capable of organizing an army of hundreds of thousands to attack the grasslands!
Although the grassland is vast and many Tang troops are not familiar with the grassland environment, Khan, don’t forget that by then, Li Zexuan is likely to be among the Tang troops, and Li Zexuan’s master Lingxu Zhenren not only killed more than two hundred of our elite wolf riders in the Yinshan area , and even traveled through the grassland alone, there is no guarantee that he will not leave any map for Li Zexuan! When the time comes, with Li Zexuan leading the way for the Tang army, our advantage on the grassland will no longer exist! "
Ashina Simo actually admires the Central Plains culture very much, so he collected more detailed information about the Tang Dynasty. It is because the more he knows, the more he feels that the Tang Dynasty poses a greater threat to the Turks. !
Today's Turks are very powerful, but it does not mean that the Turks are invincible in the world!
Seeing the uncertainty on Jieli's face, Ashina Simo continued: "Great Khan, think about it, when the Han Dynasty was first established, were they suppressed by the Huns everywhere? Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, personally led an army to attack the Huns, but suffered a disastrous defeat. , he was almost captured by the Huns, and the Han Empire was almost destroyed.
You must know that at the beginning of the establishment of the Han Dynasty, there were many good advisers and generals, such as Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, Xiao He and others in literature, and men such as Han Xin, Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo and others in military affairs. It can be seen that the Xiongnu was strong but the national power in the early Han Dynasty was weak.
It wasn't until Liu Bang's grandson, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, sent Wei Qing and Huo Qubing out to the west of the Hexi Corridor and attacked the Xiongnu in the north that the Xiongnu's strength and vitality were completely defeated, and they gradually became unable to compete with the Han Empire.
Simo feels that today's Eastern Turks are just like the Huns back then. They were extremely powerful in the early stage, but once we relax our vigilance and allow the Central Plains dynasty to recuperate, we will definitely follow in the footsteps of the Huns!
In the early days of the founding of the Han Empire, after the siege of Baideng, Liu Bang had to make peace with the Huns. However, just a few decades later, the army of the Han Empire was able to reach the Hexi Corridor and kill the Huns like dogs. This shows that the Central Plains Dynasty has We cannot ignore the extremely powerful latecomer force and rejuvenation spirit! "
After saying that, Ashina Simo bowed deeply to Jieli, with a sincere look on his face!
In fact, his analysis must be correct. The Eastern Turks were indeed powerful in the early stage. For example, at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, they were suppressed by the Turks. There were even rumors that Li Yuan relied on the strength of the Turks to rebel against the Sui Dynasty and invade Chang'an. Some people also say that Li Yuan deliberately temporarily surrendered to the Turks to achieve peace in the northern border and avoid being attacked from both sides. The rumors are not necessarily true, but it fully shows how powerful the Turks were at that time.
But even if the Turks are powerful and boundless, they are not absolutely invincible. As the saying goes, the greatest prosperity must inevitably decline. Since this year, the civil strife in the Turks has intensified, and more and more tribal leaders are unwilling to obey Jieli's orders. The former Khitan chief is A typical example, and the Turkic little Khan-Tuli Khan is the most typical representative of the anti-Jieli forces!
The extremely powerful East Turks are actually in crisis!
After listening to Ashina Simo's heartfelt advice, Jieli's face finally became serious. He stood up and stood with his hands behind his back. Then he frowned and walked around the tent for a moment. After that, with eyes like lightning, he looked at Ashina Simo and said: "What you just said, Simo, is not unreasonable. The development speed of the Tang Dynasty is too fast, hum! If I had known this, I should have If we directly capture Chang'an and kill Li Shimin, we won't be in trouble today!"
This is true. I think there was a great opportunity in front of Jie Li, but he didn't cherish it. He gave Li Er and the Tang Dynasty a precious opportunity to recuperate and recuperate. Now the national power of the Tang Dynasty is booming and it is no longer Jie Li. You can do whatever you want! If this continues, only destruction awaits the Turks!
"Great Khan, it is useless to mention what happened back then. The most urgent task is to think of a strategy to deal with the Tang army!"
Ashina Simo said in a deep voice.
Jie Li nodded and said: "Yes! You are right! Go ahead and order all Ye Hu, Special Qin, Burke, Beig, and the chiefs of various tribes to come to the Yazhang this afternoon to discuss matters!"
"Yes! Khan!"
Seeing that Jieli finally paid attention to Datang's opponent, Ashina Simo couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, his persuasion was not in vain!
"To the Khan, Princess Shu Yan requests an audience!"
At this moment, a Turkic soldier entered the tent and bowed to report.
A trace of tenderness suddenly appeared on Jie Li's face. He smiled and said, "Let Yan'er come in quickly!"
"yes!"
The soldiers took the order and left.
Ashina Simo saluted and said: "In that case, Na Simo takes leave!"
He had almost figured out why Princess Ashina Shuyan came to see Jieli. He didn't want to get involved in Jieli's family affairs, so he asked to resign directly and tactfully.
"Yeah! Go ahead!"
Jie Li nodded and said.
…………………………
"Madam, the academy is here!"
Listening to the sound of the wheels rolling along the way, it didn't take long before Han Yuxi and his party finally arrived at Yanhuang Academy.
After the carriage heard about it, Liu Yun stood guard with a knife, while Liu Feng shouted into the carriage to remind him.
Don't look at Xiaohe and Xiaoxi calling Han Yuxi "young madam". That's because these two girls followed Li Zexuan early and always called "young master, young master". Isn't this young master's wife called young madam?
But Liu Feng and his two brothers are different. They have followed Li Zexuan for less than half a year. They usually call Li Zexuan "Master Hou", and Han Yuxi is naturally Mrs. Hou Ye!
"Um!"
Han Yuxi responded, then jumped out of the carriage with the two maids one after another, and then looked at the magnificent academy. Han Yuxi felt something in her heart. Secretly, the academy was still the same academy as before, but some of the people there were no longer in the academy!
"Leave the carriage here, let's go directly to Dr. Sun's hospital to visit Mr. Wen Ji!"
After coming back from her thoughts, Han Yuxi ordered softly.
"Yes! Madam!"
Liu Feng clasped his fists and accepted the order. Some of the guards of the Hou Mansion went forward to clear the way, and some of them stayed behind Han Yuxi in case of accidents. After Wu Jie attacked the academy, the guards of the Hou Mansion paid special attention to the safety of Li Zexuan's family. Work!
After a while, Han Yuxi came to the small hospital where Sun Simiao was staying. What happened was that Sun Simiao did not go to Datang United Medical Center for duty today, but stayed in another hospital to give Li Gang acupuncture to transfer his energy. To extend the life of Li Gang who has run out of oil and lamps!
"Young madam, please wait a moment. Master is inside applying acupuncture to Mr. Wen Ji!"
Hearing the movement outside the hospital gate, the young doctor Xian Hu rushed up to greet him and said softly.
Han Yuxi glanced into the courtyard quite unexpectedly, and then asked: "Surprisingly, didn't Divine Doctor Sun go to the hospital for consultation today?"
Hu Jingran shook his head and said: "Mr. Wenji's condition worsened, and Master couldn't get away, so he took a leave of absence from the hospital and asked Dr. Wang and Dr. Qin to treat him! Master planned to stabilize Mr. Wenji's condition first, and then go The hospital treats other patients!"
Hearing this, Han Yuxi turned pale and asked with sad eyes: "What? Mr. Wenji's condition has worsened? How is the old gentleman now? Is there any way for Dr. Sun to stabilize Mr. Wenji's condition?"
"Do your best and obey fate!"
Just when Hu Jingran was about to answer, Sun Simiao had already walked out of the house. The old Taoist stroked his beard and sighed.
