Qin Xiao frowned and asked softly: "How many people know about this?"

"Except for the Great Chanyu and me, no one else in the Khan Court knows." Donglin Khan whispered: "The Great Chanyu has told me that if the general doesn't ask, forget it. If you ask, you can tell the truth.

.”

Qin Xiao nodded slightly, knowing that this was also Shanyu's honesty to him.

"Donglin Khan, I know the situation is urgent, but I still have to waste some of your time." Qin Xiao raised his hand and said, "Let's sit down and talk."

Donglin Khan hesitated, nodded, and the two sat down by the stove.

"What's the situation on the front line now?" Qin Xiao asked: "Captain Zuo has been captured, and the morale of the army must be turbulent...!"

Donglin Khan said: "The enemy moved in the middle of the night. We have more than 20 strongholds along the Xing'an River. The stronghold guarded by Xubuyan of Zuo Danghu was patrolling Chile Mountain that night, so only the soldiers from that stronghold were patrolling.

We knew that enemy troops infiltrated that night and a fierce battle took place. However, although the soldiers at the stronghold knew that the enemy troops had infiltrated, most of them did not know about Chile Mountain and Buliuda.

When Jian was captured, Xu Buyan was a smart man and immediately blocked the news. Not only did the news not spread to other strongholds, but not many people in his stronghold knew the truth."

"This Zuo Danghu handled it very well." Qin Xiaowei nodded.

He also knew Bu Liuda's official position.

Under the Great Chanyu, there were two great khans, and under each great khan, there were left and right captains, and under the great captains, there were also left and right senior officials.

These are all high-level officials of the tribe. If the captains and principals under Xilin Khan do not have actual military control, then Donglin Khan and his generals actually hold heavy troops, whether it is Chile Mountain or not.

Or Xu Buyan, they are both Bu Liuda's brave generals.

Donglin Khan said: "Subyan sent people to come back day and night to report the matter. He is also trying his best to control the leakage of the news."

"Donglin Khan rushed back in a hurry, naturally he was worried about something happening on the front line." Qin Xiao said thoughtfully, frowning: "But if the Bohai people capture Chile Mountain and the others, they will definitely make a big fuss."

Donglin Khan sighed: "It is inevitable to make a big fuss out of this matter. The Shanyu asked me to rush to the front line as soon as possible because I was worried that I could not control the news. Once something happens on the front line, Xu Buyan may not be able to shock him."

"What do you think the Bohai people will do?" Qin Xiao stared at Donglin Khan and asked in a low voice: "Will they use them to make transactions?"

Donglin Khan said: "This is natural. It is still unclear whether the purpose of the Bohai people sneaking into the camp was to capture Chile Mountain, or whether they happened to run into it by mistake that night. Xu Buyan said that Chile Mountain was patrolling that night

He is wearing casual clothes at the base, so it is not certain whether the Bohai people know his identity."

Qin Xiaodao: "In other words, although the Bohai people have captured people, they may not necessarily know the identities of Lieutenant Zuo and the Young Master?"

"It's possible." Donglin Khan said: "They may have taken a few prisoners back for interrogation to ask about the deployment of our army. The Bohai people must have thought it was an opportunity to cross the Xing'an River due to the epidemic in Modong.

, invading more of our territory. But they did not understand the deployment of our army, so they wanted to capture prisoners and interrogate the military situation."

Qin Xiao nodded and said: "It should be like this."

"But the enemy captured four people. In addition to the two of them, there were two accompanying guards." Donglin Khan frowned and said: "If the Bohai people don't know the identities of Chile Mountain and Bu Liudajian, they

They will definitely not expose their identities, but if the two guards cannot withstand the torture, they may not confess." He clenched his fists and said: "The Bohai people are extremely cruel, and the punishments they use during interrogations are extremely cruel. If torture is really used, few people can withstand it.

You can live in it.”

Qin Xiao thought that it was not just the Bohai people who were cruel in extorting confessions through torture. The Bohai people would also lose a few layers of their skin if they fell into the hands of the Buliuda people.

"Once their identity is known, they will definitely use the two of them to negotiate with us." Donglin Khan's eyes were cold and he sneered: "Normally, we will be asked to pay a huge ransom and use the ransom to redeem them. But the Bohai people

Being greedy by nature, the greater possibility is to use his two lives to claim territory. The Great Chanyu and I have discussed it, if the other party just asks for ransom

Forget it, but if they want to claim territory, that’s just wishful thinking.”

Qin Xiao knew that if he wanted to exchange Bu Liuda's territory for the lives of those two people, the leaders of the tribes would definitely not agree.

For the Buliuda people, the Black Forest is their birthplace and has been the home of the Siler people since ancient times.

Nowadays, a lot of territory has been usurped by the Bohai people. It's okay to be unable to recover it, but they still have to continue to lose territory. Even if it is to exchange for Captain Zuo and Bu Liudajian, Bu Liuda people will definitely never agree, otherwise

It was a great shame and humiliation for Bu Liuda.

"The Great Chanyu and I are only worried that the Bohai people will deliberately make a big show of their identities and publicize the matter." Donglin Khan sighed: "One is my great captain, and the other is

He is my son, Bu Liudahai, but the Bohai people sneaked into our military camp and captured him alive. Once this matter spreads, Buliuda will lose his face, and he will become the laughing stock of the world." He shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "

Da Shan wants to lose face in his life, and he will definitely not allow this kind of thing to be spread."

Qin Xiao nodded slightly, understanding Donglin Khan's current mood.

A frontline general was actually captured by the enemy in his own camp. This would certainly be a great shame and humiliation for anyone.

Bu Liuda claims to be the orthodox member of the Xile royal family. If this news spreads, it will not only make He Gu and Zhen Yu laugh, it will also cause confusion among Bu Liuda's tribes.

And once this kind of thing spreads, it won't just spread in Modong, it will definitely spread throughout the prairie and reach the Tang Dynasty. If Bu Liuda is like this, he will indeed become the laughing stock of the world.

Of course the Great Chanyu could not accept such a result.

With Shanyu's temperament, he would rather die in thousands on the battlefield than suffer such humiliation.

"What does the Great Chanyu mean now?" Qin Xiao thought for a moment and asked softly: "If the Bohai people ask for territory and don't agree, they will spread the word everywhere. By then, we can't let this matter cause trouble in the world.

We all know it, but we can’t really cede the territory, so that’s a dilemma.”

Donglin Khan nodded slightly and said: "That's true. However, the Great Chanyu is thinking of countermeasures. The most urgent task is to ensure that there will be no other changes on the front line. General, the Great Chanyu and I hid this shameful thing from the tribe.

The other leaders didn't hide it from you." He stood up and said, "It's not too late. It's getting late. I have to travel all night. General, let's say goodbye." He crossed his arms across his chest and bowed in salute without saying much.

, turned around and left.

"They want to confirm the identity of the captain and the son, and report to the higher authorities. Before Yuan Gaijian makes a decision, they will not act rashly." Qin Xiao suddenly said: "So I judge that as long as the front line blocks the news, in a short time

Inside, the news that the captain was captured will definitely not spread."

Donglin Khan shook his head and said: "Although it won't be spread for a while, it will happen sooner or later. If they can't give us territory, they will definitely spread it."

"If the captain and the son can be rescued before Yuan Gaijian makes a decision, will the situation be reversed?" Qin Xiao stood up slowly, looked at Donglin Khan's broad and strong back, and said calmly.

Donglin Khan suddenly turned around, showing surprise, but quickly shook his head and said: "Impossible. General, the enemy's deployment on the other side of the Anxing River is extremely thorough, like a copper wall. The troops they deployed on the front line are far away from us.

We have built a solid defense line over the past few years and there is no way we can penetrate it. If we had a chance to hit the other side, we would not stand still and would have crossed the river to fight for our lives."

"I'm not worried about their iron walls now." Qin Xiao's expression became stern as he said, "I'm just worried that after they know the identity of the Captain and the Young Master, they will send them to the Bohai Sea. If this is the case, things will be in trouble.

.”

Dong Linhan's expression was solemn and his eyes were complicated, including anger, anxiety, and worry.

"Without further delay, if Donglin Khan can trust me, I will accompany you tonight." Qin Xiao said seriously: "We can give it a try and see if we can find a way to rescue them."

Donglin Khan never expected that Qin Xiao would be so righteous, and was surprised: "General, how...how is this possible? You have a noble status, how can you go there in person for this matter?"

"Have Donglin Khan forgotten that Yuan Gai Wushuang died in my hands in Kyoto?" Qin Xiao smiled calmly and said: "I killed Yuan Gai Wushuang and formed a life-and-death feud with Yuan Gai Jian. This is

I would like to see who among his men is capable enough to capture Lieutenant Zuo and his son. After all, I just don’t want Yuan Gaijian to be proud. I don’t feel comfortable when he is proud, so as long as I can make him

I'm happy to do uncomfortable things."

Donglin Khan opened his mouth, but was unable to speak. He suddenly knelt down on one knee and said gratefully: "General, no matter whether we succeed or not, Bu Liudahai will definitely remember the kindness of the general.
