Chapter 409

The Yinshan Mountain stands across the desert. Of course, Li Ji's army can't reach the grassland so soon. It was the Kuaima messenger sent by Li Ji who first arrived at the Huihe tribe. He told the Huihe leader tumidu that Li Ji had personally led 100000 Jin troops to the grassland according to the imperial edict!

It turns out that ten days ago, Tu Mindu had already found out that Yi Nan's ambition of annexing the grassland from the north to the south of Qi was that Yi Nan wanted to marry Xuelian and Xiyan sisters. At that time, he Luohu, the leader of the Ashina nationality, secretly sent the two girls to the Huihe tribe to hide, and asked tumidu to ask Li Ji, the northern military commander of the Tang Dynasty, for help.

Unfortunately, in the end, tumidu failed to save the asna tribe from being exterminated, and Li Jiyuan didn't know how to get close to thirst, and he couldn't reach it. Once brilliant for a time, the Ashina tribe has been almost wiped out on the grassland ever since.

After learning the details from the vomit fan, Xue Rengui was very excited, and his blood was still boiling in his heart!

They have been wandering for a long time. They are like noble wolf gods. They are rootless Piaoping. They are wandering all over the world and homesick. Now that Wang Shi, the main force of the imperial court, came here, it was undoubtedly a feeling of meeting old friends and relatives in a foreign land.

Xue Rengui decided to settle down here and wait for the arrival of Li Ji's army. We'll discuss with him what to do next. How to say, Li Ji is also the prime minister in charge of military affairs. He is also one of the best military leaders in the Tang Empire. Even Qin mubai is respectful to him. Xue Rengui is looking forward to his arrival.

A few days later, the outpost sent by Huihe to Qibei reported that the Yi man had been shot through his shoulder by Xue Rengui. After returning to his teeth tent, he was bedridden. His brothers, generals and nephews took advantage of the situation to fight for power and gain. Instead of talking about reorganizing their troops and going south for revenge, they fought and killed each other several times.

This is great news for Xue Rengui and Huihe people!

On that day, after the great victory of the first World War of erhun River, Xue Rengui was certainly a powerful grassland, which made the enemy afraid and worshiped by thousands of people. At the same time, the Huihe tribe was also very powerful. Taking advantage of this opportunity, tumidu took the name of "Ashina Khan's daughter". The leaders of the other nine tiele tribes in the grassland were gathered to meet and discuss the "righteous act" of raising troops to fight against Yi Nan and help the king of Tang Dynasty.

When the wall fell down and everyone pushed, the erhun River suffered a big defeat, which almost dampened Xue yantuo's spirit. Now, with the support of the Tang Dynasty and the leadership of tumidu, other tribes and tribes in the grassland, who originally hated Xue yantuo, flocked to Huihe to discuss the war day and night.

Naturally, Xue Rengui was invited to be the guest of honor. He was willing to stay next to him even if he was a fan. He was respectful to Xue Rengui with the courtesy of the imperial envoy. The leaders and warriors of other tribes are obedient to Xue Rengui!

This is really a bit beyond Xue Rengui's expectation!

Within ten days. Huihe tribe has gathered nearly 150000 troops, all of them are cavalry with nine surnames tiele. All the leaders unanimously elected Xue Rengui as commander-in-chief, and organized an army of "Alliance for punishment of crime and righteousness". As soon as Li Ji's army arrived, they urged him to go north to destroy Xue yantuo!!

Of these 150 000 troops, one is the most conspicuous. Its leader, is a female general - Ashina blood lotus!

Nashina is a noble tribe in the grassland. Heluohu was once known as "Khan", and Xuelian is the princess. Now Khan was killed by the barbarians, and the princess raised the flag to recruit soldiers to commit crimes. It's also the right way to learn. It was in the name of Xuelian and Xiyan that tumidu recruited the leaders of tiele.

But everyone didn't expect that Xuelian would not be willing to be a puppet or a flag at all. She insisted on leading 30000 elite volunteers as pro meritorious troops to take revenge on Xue yantuo for her father. If she didn't give her soldiers, she would rather not afford the volunteers!

No way, the leaders had to rely on him - from the 150000 army to select the most powerful 30000 soldiers, 50000 good horses, to this heroine. Later, she had to let him be willful and let her join the Tang army of Xue Rengui to form the central army and vanguard, which became the backbone and center of this righteous army.

Xue Rengui was secretly happy about this. Although he had no interest in women as generals, he was not optimistic about them, but Xuelian's "willfulness" just helped him a lot. On the surface, of course, the Allied forces share a common hatred, but in fact, they are not fighting each other secretly? In the final analysis, is it for the sake of disintegrating Xue yantuo's power and breaking the existing pattern to seek the welfare of his tribe? Now that the war has not started, everything is fine. Once Xue yantuo is defeated, it is very likely that there will be tribes attacking and killing each other in order to benefit each other, and even a second barbarian will appear.

Now Xuelian has sent these 30000 elite soldiers to strengthen the Chinese army. In addition, after Li Ji's army came, it can completely suppress other tribes and make them dare not act rashly, so that the Tang Dynasty can firmly take the throne of hegemony on the grassland.

That is to say, Xuelian unintentionally helps Datang by playing "strong and weak" first, which can save a lot of trouble in the future. Xue Rengui has gradually made a decision in his heart that he must take this woman to Lanzhou to meet Qin mubai and fulfill her wish "I believe the young commander knows better than me how to deal with the relationship with her, and how to hold her soldiers and forces tightly!"

There are 28 tribes with nine surnames, 150000 troops, hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses, a mountain of food and equipment, a lot of traffic and a lot of people Huihe tribe, lively.In this extremely lively and noisy environment, there is a person who is out of place with it.

Blue sky, white clouds and green grassland, she rode a snow-white foal alone, playing a continuous and leisurely melody with the Turkic Eagle flute again and again.

Ashnaxi said.

The setting sun will pull her shadow long, cattle and sheep are going to circle, she is still sitting alone on the slope of the grassland, watching the clouds rise.

A string of hooves came from behind, sonorous and powerful. Xiyan doesn't have to look back to know that it's my sister's horse.

"Xiyan, why are you doing this. For a man, is it worth it? " The blood lotus didn't dismount, the tone some offend Chong of way.

Xi Yan turns to look at her elder sister, a little smile, silent.

Blood lotus some angry jump off the horse, sit down beside her, said: "Xi Yan, now there are only two of us at home, I'm your only relative, you are my last dependence. Tell me, do you really like Xue Rengui? "

“……” Xi Yan's face was slightly red. He gazed at the distance and said in a soft voice, "but he is just like the garland of the God of heaven and the rosy clouds, which is beyond reach. Sister, don't worry about me. Maybe he'll be gone soon, and I'll forget him. "

"Since you like it, you have to work hard to pursue it!" Blood lotus urgent annoyed way, "younger sister! People in the asna family, even women, are brave and straightforward! Our ancestors, father and brother, were the real kings on the grassland. Don't be so cowardly and shame them

"Sister, how do you think I should pursue it?" With a lonely smile, Xi Yan said in a soft voice, "the falling flower is purposeful and merciless. How can the emotional things be forced? Elder brother Xue is a hero and a good man. He has only his first wife in his heart and can't let go of other women. "

"Who said that! My sister is such a beauty that no man can be indifferent Xuelian hugs Xiyan's shoulders, stares at her eyes and says, "tell me, do you care about being his concubine? Yes, concubine! You want to follow him to the Central Plains. If you go to the Central Plains, you will enter the country and do as the Romans do! In the Central Plains, concubines have no status. What's more, they are bullied and sold like pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep! "

"I don't care!"

"That's enough with you!" Blood lotus long body and jump on the horseback, a whip draw on the horse buttocks, run away - "wait for my good news!"

At night, in Xue Rengui's felt tent.

Xuelian was dressed in bright red armor, with a sword hanging on her waist and snow tassels on her head. She stood in front of Xue Rengui with her arms crossed. "You think it over! My sister is not a woman who can't get married. She is seventeen years old and hasn't liked anyone. You are the first man! So I'll fight for her! "

"Blood lotus How can such a thing be forced? " Xue Rengui shook his head in embarrassment. "Your sister is really beautiful, gentle and kind, but I've got a wife, and... "

"And what? You are a big man. Why are you so fussy? " Blood lotus angry way.

"What's more, I'm a general in charge of the army. I'm dedicated to the public and dare not have private affairs." Xue Rengui said, "if you let the soldiers know that I still want to get a wife and concubine at this time, wouldn't it cool their mind?"

"Oh, you mean If you let all your brothers take a wife and concubine back here, you will have no problem, will you? ——That's no problem! " Xuelian spread her hands and said, "I know that the women in the central plains are warm and kind, but the daughter of the grassland is not bad! Tomorrow, I'll ask my uncle to give me an order that all the unmarried women in the tribe of nine surnamed tiele, who are willing to marry you brothers, will come to our tribe for marriage! "

Xue Rengui suddenly stupefied, "you don't mischief!"

"This is no nonsense!" Blood lotus willow eyebrow Yang apricot eyes round stare, "Han Hu intermarriage this is rare? What's more, it's all voluntary, not compulsive! If so many tiele women were married to officers and men in your army, would it strengthen the friendly relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the grassland tribes? It's also good for the Tang Dynasty - I believe your court will not oppose it! "

“……” Xue Rengui was speechless for a moment. He thought to himself that the blood lotus was too clever and sharp. He thought about everything, and it was irrefutable!

"If you don't have any suggestions, I'll do it in a word!" Xuelian claps her hands and is ready to go.

"You wait!" Xue Rengui stopped her and said solemnly, "after all, our whole army is actually on the run. How can we be so reckless? You'd better slow down, at least when Li Ji comes. I'll leave it to him. "

"No promise!" Blood lotus is very exasperated of stamp a foot, "you not say you are Qin Mu Bai's person, how listen to Li Ji again?"? Leave him alone

“……” Once again, Xue Rengui was speechless.

"You can't make any more decisions. I'll tell you one more thing. " Xuelian obviously came prepared. With a mysterious smile, she approached Xue Rengui and said, "if you are willing to marry my sister, I will give you a big dowry!"

"Dowry on the grassland?" Xue Rengui can't help laughing, "come on, although Xue is poor, he doesn't lack money.""You are wrong." Blood lotus dragged long voice, serious way. "This dowry is not gold and silver, nor cattle and sheep, but - 30000 elite soldiers!"

“！！！” Xue Rengui was shocked!

"Moved?" The blood lotus's well-defined lips rose slightly with a treacherous smile, and two shallow dimples appeared at the corners of her white mouth. "I know that only such things can move you - even if you don't like my sister now, it doesn't matter. I completely believe that you will change your attitude soon, because my sister is the most gentle and kind-hearted woman in the world. Now, you have to accept her and not hurt her! For her happiness. I will pay all the costs - including the 30000 elite soldiers and anyone who hurt her! "

Xue Rengui frowned tightly and nodded slowly: "I can have a try. But you know, I've got a wife... "

"It's not a problem! ——You just need to like her, love her deeply and treat her well! Otherwise, I will!... " Xuelian raised a finger, almost pointed to the tip of Xue Rengui's nose and drank a few words. Then she put down her hand, nodded gently, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, elder brother Xue. I only have my sister as my only relative Please forgive my gaffe and excesses! ——Let me prepare for the wedding. It will be the biggest wedding on the grassland. Even the noble wolf God and the fairy haze of Jinshan will come and bless you

Ten days later Thousands of miles of clear sky, white clouds floating around, orchestras playing, singing and dancing.

In Yazhang of Huihe tribe, an unprecedented and grand wedding ceremony was held for Xue Rengui and the princess of Ashina nationality. The leaders and people of tiele, the nine surnames, gathered together to watch the ceremony!

Coincidentally, less than half of the wedding ceremony, Li Ji personally led 100000 Tang troops to the wedding, adding a joy!

Xue Rengui and the officers and men of the Tang army welcomed Li Ji's army and wept with joy!

Li Ji has long heard of the feats of Xue Rengui and others. Quite with emotion! At the moment, he was invited as guest of honor by tumidu and others, and presided over the wedding ceremony for Xue Rengui and Xi Yan.

250000 troops, gather Huihe tribe!

When Xue yantuo tribe in the North got the news, people were in a state of panic and turmoil. When Yi Nan was seriously ill, he heard about it and fainted several times. However, the internal struggle between Ya Zhang and Yi Zhang had not stopped. The xueyantuo tribe, which once flourished for a time, is like a withered leaf in the wind.

After three days of celebration, Huihe tribe has become a sea of joy.

Xue Rengui, the groom who should be happy most, seems not so excited. Slightly drunk lying in the new yurt. Looking at the gentle bride who is shyly dressing and pouring sweet milk wine under the red candle, he always has some thoughts that are not wilting.

"Husband..." Finally, I summoned the courage to open my mouth, and Xi Yan's face was as red as a grape in midsummer.

"Sorry, just a moment. I'll come if I have something important to do."

Unexpectedly, Xue Rengui took off the bridegroom's clothes, opened the felt tent and ran out.

Xi Yan took two glasses of wine and stood there for a long time. He gently put the glass on the small round table, carefully draped the traditional red cap of Central Plains on his own crown, and sat quietly beside the bed.

"I would like to exchange my life for your sincere treatment. What's the rush? Go ahead, I'll wait for you to come back... "

Xue Rengui went directly to the camp of Wang division, the main force of the Tang army, to see Li Ji.

Naturally, Li Ji was quite surprised. As soon as Xue Rengui entered the account, he said with a smile, "what's the matter, bridegroom? Is it because of snoring that the bride drove him out of the house and made him homeless?"

"Marshal Li, don't make fun of the last general..." Xue Rengui gave a bitter smile and said, "I will come to you in the future. I have an important military business to discuss with you."

"Well, you say." Li Ji is not a smooth person, regardless of importance. Please sit down and get to the point.

Xue Rengui said: "at the end of these days, I have been thinking that since the imperial court has allowed Lanzhou to fight with Tubo, and sent troops to Jiannan, Liaodong and northern grasslands, I think the successive wars will begin. At present, Lanzhou is still the most pressure. After the fall of Gaochang, the alliance of Tubo and Tujue Beiting was bound to invade puchanghai and Lanyang on a large scale; at the same time, garqin mausoleum and the main force of Tubo also formally kowtowed to dafichuan. Lanzhou is besieged by the enemy, but it has few troops, and the most elite troops are now thousands of miles away on the grassland I'm really worried that the young commander can't support me! "

"You have a good reason to worry." Li Ji frowned and said, "to tell you the truth. Even I have a cold sweat for Qin mubai. Lanzhou now faces the siege of hundreds of thousands of troops, and he has a small number of troops. It can be said that it is difficult for a skillful woman to make a meal without rice. Even though his majesty strongly supports Qin mubai and supports Lanzhou's main battle, his old people are also faced with the same problem. As you can see, Guanzhong has successively mobilized nearly 200000 troops to fight in the South and North, which seems a bit empty. Moreover, in order to cope with the logistics supply of hundreds of thousands of troops, hundreds of thousands of civilians were recruited The cost of manpower and material resources is quite amazing! It can be said that now the imperial court is about to be drained, and the army in Guanzhong is also very weak. Your majesty, I really can't offer anything else to support Qin mubai. What he can do is to support Qin mubai with the most clear and decisive position and give him the greatest power and freedom! "Li Ji obviously has something to say in his words. Naturally, Xue Rengui is also a smart man. He could not help but brighten up in his heart and whispered: "Li dashai, do you mean May the young commander recruit and expand his troops in Lanzhou? "

"I didn't say that." Li Ji laughs unfathomably, "moreover, even if he does, the newly recruited sergeant will not be trained. It is also difficult to achieve great success. At most, it can only be expedient. Now, what Qin mubai and Lanzhou need most is probably a surprise force... "

"This strange soldier must be deep behind the Tubo army and attack the enemy with the garrison of Yuyang pass." Xue Rengui said with a fist.

"Wonderful." Li Ji raised his eyebrows and said, "Qin Sanlang often tells me how talented Xue Rengui is in both civil and military fields. Today, it's true!"

"Marshal Li praised me Xue Rengui bowed humbly. Said, "the end will come here, just want to discuss this matter with the marshal."

"Just say what you think."

"I want to He led the army of Gaochang to turn back and fight again unexpectedly. He recovered Gaochang and attacked and killed the garrison outside Yuyang second pass. He formed a encirclement with the garrison of Yuyang second pass and broke through the enemy forces! " Xue Rengui said.

Li Ji frowned and pondered for a moment. He nodded slowly and said, "Ren GUI. I heard that You've also studied the art of war of Duke Wei, haven't you? "

"Well, young commander Qin didn't give up. He once called the last generals."

"That's right." With a meaningful smile, Li Ji said, "Duke Wei can be regarded as a rare military God. The essence of his military strategy lies in his" miraculous, positive and unpredictable ". Your move of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao can be said to have won the deep spread of the art of health war. But still, you can't make a meal without rice. Now, after several fierce battles, there are less than 10000 soldiers left, many wounded and tired. Don't talk about recovering Gaochang and attacking Tubo. It's the desert that stretches 800 Li and the garrison of tens of thousands of Hulu troops. It's a mountain that you can't cross. "

"Marshal, the last general is not a reckless person. Since he dares to put forward such a bold idea, he will be almost sure!"

"Oh? Let's hear it. What's your assurance from? " Li Ji was immediately very interested.

"My new wife has brought a rich set of dowries..." Xue Rengui's thick eyebrows tightened his face to show a trace of guilt. After a while, he said, "that's 30000 elite horsemen!"

"What?" Now, even Li Ji was surprised!

"That's right." Xue Rengui nodded affirmatively, "to be clear, it's her sister, my sister Ashina Xuelian, who gave it to my pro honor troops - 30000 elite cavalry selected from the 28 tiele League troops of nine surnames!"

"Is that true?" Li Ji almost doesn't believe his ears. He is surprised that he never changes his face and heart.

Xue Rengui wry smile: "marshal, do you think the end will be like that kind of Hu Tianhu like to laugh?"

Li Ji took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "so, great Rengui, you are really a god general and a blessing general! Originally, I only thought that you agreed to marry ashnaxiyan in order to appease the Huihe and the grassland tribes. That woman is very nice, but I can see that you are not a lecheron and don't have much interest in him. You should consider the whole situation instead of yourself. I'm very glad to hear that. I believe that in return to the imperial court, the emperor will be happy and praise you very much! You even have 30000 elite cavalry! This ha-ha! Even Ben Shuai thought it was incredible! You said that Xue Rengui led a brigade of disabled soldiers to travel thousands of miles through bloody battles. It's very good that you can live up to now! You can even break through the barbarian Megatron grassland. He integrated 150000 allied forces to win over Xue yantuo. He earned both fame and wealth, earned beauty and soldiers. Ha ha! You are as simple as Qin mubai

"Marshal! Marshal!... " Xue Rengui was already embarrassed and flushed. He said, "let's get down to business. Do you think it's feasible for the general to lead his ten thousand Tang army and thirty thousand tiele elite cavalry back to encircle Wei and save Zhao?"

"Absolutely feasible!" Li Ji said firmly, "in fact, you don't have to say it. I've been thinking about it for a long time. Today, the biggest crisis and turning point in the Tang Dynasty. They are all in Lanzhou. The reason why I ordered my troops to go to Mobei day and night was that I hoped to put an end to Xue yantuo's rebellion as soon as possible, and then to cross Jinshan and attack Tubo to the west to help the western regions. Unexpectedly, you almost beat Xue yantuo half dead with your own strength. Now, you don't have to pay any attention to Xue yantuo's affairs. Don't worry, lead your rectification army boldly and do what you should do! "

Xue Rengui's blood is boiling!

"Thank you very much, marshal Li! ——The end of the general, tomorrow on the order of the levy

Li Ji frowned slightly. "Aren't you a newlyweds? It's time to abandon the bride and slip away with her dowry, isn't it? "

Xue Rengui was stunned for a moment, then laughed bitterly, and then said: "if Xue stays here one more day, tens of millions more people may die in Lanzhou, the Tang Dynasty will have more crises, and the young commander will have more pressure. No more delay! Since asna sunset married me, she must understand and support me to do so - otherwise, I'd rather marry today and give up tomorrow! Don't worry about the 30000 elite horsemen! ""What are you waiting for?" Li Ji raised his mouth and showed a smile of approval. "Chunxiao is rare. Go back to persuade and comfort your poor Meijiao! Tomorrow at the second quarter of the morning, the commander and the tumindu of the Huihe tribe will be able to make a great progress for you together

"No!"
