"Asnasmo?"

Although the captive was extremely embarrassed, Li Yao saw this face that was as sharp as a knife and axe, and directly expressed the other party's name.

It was clearly asking, but her tone was very certain. When Ashina Simo heard this, his originally drooping head immediately raised and asked in surprise: "I guess the Lord is Princess Mingzhao, the protector of the Tang Dynasty! But I don't know how the Lord can tell my identity at a glance?"

A sly smile appeared on the corner of Li Yao's lips, and suddenly changed to a slightly low voice of a young man, raised his hand and pointed at himself and said, "Secret Service takes a closer look?"

Ashina Simo was slightly stunned, then looked at Li Yao's face with his eyes wide open, and he suddenly said, "You are the Censor Li!"

Li Yao smiled and nodded, "The special military is as smart as a torch, yes! It's the 'lower'."

After the battle of Huanghuadui in the winter of the sixth year of Wude, Jie Li Khan reached a temporary armistice agreement with the then Tang army commander Li Shimin, and sent Ashinasmo to lead a delegation to Chang'an, the Tang capital, to meet Li Yuan. The guide to the Turkic mission was Li Yao, who disguised himself as a Tang Dynasty official.

Asuna's cheeks twitched a few times, and said in a strange tone: "The master is versatile and capable of changing male and female freely. It is rare in the world. I really admire him, admire him!"

"The special service is too good, this is just a trivial trick, not worth mentioning."

Li Yao bowed his fists to him seriously, and asked again: "Have the special agent used the meal?"

Asunasmo said angrily: "Master Xie is concerned, I am not hungry."

Li Yao nodded and said in a slightly regretful tone: "Oh, I wanted to ask the Special Service to accompany me to have a few hu of wine... Whether it's okay, I don't have to loosen the Special Service."

Asuna Smoo's mouth twitched, speechless for a moment.

After a moment of silence, Li Yao changed the subject and asked, "Why did the Secret Service appear here?"

Ashinasmo's heart skipped a beat and thought that what should come was coming or not. This was probably because the Tang army had not yet discovered Jie Li Khan's movements and planned to get information from him.

It was related to the survival of the Eastern Turkic Khanate. He was not willing to tell the truth. He was thinking about how to evade the other party, but Li Yao added: "We just learned that Jie Li had arrived in Tieshan yesterday. Could it be that the Special Service was behind?"

Asunasmo nodded with a bitter smile, which was considered a default.

Li Yao teased: "The special service is quite good at finding ways. If this princess had not been patient, she would have witnessed your Khan's demeanor and tied her head up earlier, and would have not left the army and traveled here by tracing the mountain path."

She paused and said, "We came from Huyan Valley and passed the mountain road in front of us. We happened to find out that there was movement in the east, so we came to find out, but we didn't want to meet the special agent again. Since we are so destined to do so, I wonder if the special agent is willing to serve this princess?"

After a sudden surprise on Ashinasmo's face, he blurted out: "What trick do you want to play with Khan?"

Li Yao chuckled and said with a smile: "How can a special service fall into my hands? If the special service is willing to cooperate sincerely, this princess can not only protect the special service from life, but also serve as the emperor to ask for me for the special service."

Asanosmo stood up, straightened his back, and looked righteous and raised his head, saying: "I thank the Lord for my kindness, but I, Asanosmo, have my own principles and will not do anything to sorry to Khan. Please forgive me."

"Don't be excited for the Secret Service."

Li Yao raised his hand and pressed it quietly, signaling Ashinasmo to sit down. His tone of speaking was filled with strong confidence as if he was sure to win: "To be honest, my six armies have cut off all the ways Jie Li went. Maybe he could escape again in Tieshan, but it was just a final struggle and suffered more unnecessary hardships."

After hearing this, Asunasmo couldn't help feeling sad and couldn't help but sit back on the ground.

That's right, Li Yao just mentioned "Huyan Valley", which is an important passage from Yinshan to the north bank of the Yellow River. The previous battle between Baidao and Muddy Waters has shown that Jie Li Khan no longer has the opportunity to run east to Tuli Khan or cross the desert north.

In this way, Jie Li Khan had no choice but to continue to move westward, but Li Yao had already made it very clear, that is, the Tang army also deployed heavy troops on the key road to the west, waiting for the remnants of the Turkic troops to fall into the trap.

Ashinasmo pondered for a long time before looking up at Li Yao, and asked with a cautious look: "What are you going to deal with Khan?"

Li Yao replied sincerely: "Escort to Chang'an and leave it to the emperor for the disposal, but I can assure the special service that he will never have any worries about his life."

Ashinosmo seemed to relax his expression and asked again, "What do you want me to do?"

Li Yao smiled mysteriously: "It's very simple, I just want the special service to act as a guide for our vanguard."

Asunasmo was stunned at first, then nodded helplessly.

...

...

As the long winter night passed, the east turned white.

Li Yao was dressed neatly. As soon as he walked out of the felt tent, he issued orders to the people around him. The soldiers took thousands of prisoners out of the valley and headed northwest along the rugged mountain road.

Li Yao and his party walked the safest road across Yinshan. Although the terrain between the mountains was fluctuating, fortunately the road was spacious and the narrowest places could be passed by several riders. Except for a few small snow-covered depressions, all other areas could be ridden. After walking for only half a day, the entire team walked out of the mountain area.

"Stop moving forward!"

Li Yao observed outside the mountain pass and suddenly stopped the horse.

Boldness does not mean arrogance. Because he carries a large number of prisoners and is an open area in front of him, Li Yao does not rule out that he will encounter another encounter with the Turks, which will have adverse consequences.

At the beginning, in order to ensure that Li Shiji could complete the combat deployment in Baidaoling in time, Li Yao not only transferred the cavalry camp under her tent to the other party in addition to the tens of thousands of horses requisitioned from the Ashide troops, but now there are only a few hundred cavalry in the Huaishuo Army.

In view of this, Li Yao immediately ordered a temporary rest in a hidden lowland nearby. Then he called the male and female guards who were walking with him, raised his whip and pointed at several directions to assign tasks, and ordered the Dian Junming to lead a hundred cavalry to the front as a whistle. They quickly scattered on the land within a radius of more than ten miles. Once there was a turbulence, they would come back to warn or report the situation.
