Chapter 379 It depends on how Her Royal Highness Princess
And on the lakeside, two miles away from the tent, we had to stop. The leader of the Turks asked us to set up camp here, and then only allowed to bring twenty guards into the area with us.
I did not object to this request. It seemed that the Turks were very alert, but we were not here to sneak attack the enemy's nest, but just negotiated. To be more precise, we were offering advice to Princess Yicheng to rescue Yang Guang and the soldiers trapped in Yanmen Pass.
Among us, Cheng Yaojin and Li Xuanba were left behind. After all, no one could watch the scene. Under the leadership of Condley, this young master, Li Yaoguang, Qin Qiong, Wei Yunqi, Pei Yuanqing, Li Yuanfang, Ma Sanbao and his troops, had a total of twenty-one people heading towards the Turkic royal tent.
Soon, I met Princess Yicheng. His princess was about thirty years old and had a dignified and pretty appearance. The wind and frost of Mobei did not seem to leave too many traces on her pretty face. No matter how you look at it, you feel that it is no big difference from the ladies living in Dongdu.
Although her clothes were similar to those of Turkic women, they were much more luxurious. After this young master entered the tent, he glanced at it and found that there were more than 20 Turkic civil and military officials left in the tent, and a young man about twelve years old with a scimitar with a golden sheath on his waist. He sat on Princess Yicheng's lower head. Needless to say, this guy must be Ashinabo.
This young master bowed respectfully to Princess Yicheng and said, "I am the eldest son of Changsun Wuji, please see Your Highness the Princess
Princess Yicheng smiled at me and nodded, and said, "No gift, Changsun Wuji? I didn't expect that I could actually see you, a world-famous talented man at the foot of this Yinshan Mountain. I heard your name several years ago, and the arrival of the caravan in your mansion made more people on the grassland know your name, and of course the specialties of your Changsun family."
Princess Yicheng's words made me understand. I naturally have something I can't say here with such a large number of Turkic civil and military officials.
This young master started chatting with Princess Yicheng slowly. Well, anyway, Dongdu is good, Chang'an is good, and the Great Sui Dynasty is not bad. Although there are occasional rebellions, it is only temporary and will definitely not affect the overall situation of the Great Sui Dynasty.
He also talked about the customs and customs of Dongdu, and even the scenery of Dongdu's spring. Then he talked about the poems written by my master. Anyway, he kept talking about it for almost an hour. At this time, Princess Yicheng looked tired, so I naturally left with tactfully.
Princess Yicheng had no other expressions about this, but just told me that she would summon me again when she had the chance to listen to this young master's new work. She left the golden tent and met with Wei Yunqi and others who were waiting not far outside. I told them about the situation and could only return to the camp in disappointment.
Unexpectedly, just two quarters of an hour after we returned to the camp, a Turkic guard found this young master. Soon, around the golden tent and near the lakeshore, I met Princess Yicheng again.
Princess Yicheng was riding on a Dayuan horse, following nearly a hundred guards behind her, but many of these guards were Han people, and it seemed that they were dowry.
"I am here to see Your Highness the Princess." With more than ten steps away from Princess Yicheng, I turned over and dismounted and saluted respectfully at Princess Yicheng.
"Duke of Qi is exempted from gifts, get up quickly, how about you walking with me? I also want to listen to your newly written poems." Princess Yicheng said with a faint smile. I got on the horse again and followed Princess Yicheng slowly circled along the lakeside.
"I heard that you are in peace, how could you find this place in this palace?" Princess Yicheng looked back casually, and the guards were slowly moving around with tacit understanding about fifty steps away from us.
"Do you really think that I can convince Shibi Khan?" Princess Yicheng's voice was not high, but she showed deep helplessness. "If I really had this ability, Shibi Khan would not be able to go south and trap the emperor in Yanmen."
"This minister knows very well." I nodded slightly and looked at the distant lake. The mountains in the distance were covered with snow. It seemed that in a short while, winter snow had reached Yinshan.
"It seems that you have a way to get Shibi Khan to retreat?" Princess Yicheng looked at my expression carefully and said with some insight: "Otherwise, you should have gone to Yanmen to find Shibi, and you should not come here to find this palace from afar."
I smiled faintly. "Your Highness is right, and I have a plan to make Shibi Khan withdraw his troops and return to the grassland. However, you still need your cooperation."
"Oh?" Princess Yicheng couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and she was quite eager: "What kind of way, tell me quickly?"
Of course, I have learned about the methods I have discussed and considered.
Princess Yicheng couldn't help but show joy on her face, and slapped her high-fives and said, "It's indeed a good plan, okay, very good, Duke Qi, you have made great contributions."
"Your Highness, don't worry, this strategy is wonderful, but what kind of situations do you need to make Shibi Khan feel the crisis and have to let go of Yanmen and return to the grassland. This requires careful consideration."
Princess Yicheng pondered for a long time and couldn't help but shook her head with some emotion. "This is indeed a bit difficult. If you really know Xue Yantuo, I'm afraid that not only will the royal court be insured, but I will also fall into it."
This young master raised his eyebrows and smiled at Princess Yicheng, "If the princess is willing, I have another plan, but the Turkic tribes near the royal court will probably suffer some damage..."
"What do you mean?" Princess Yicheng looked at me with some confusion.
"I wonder if there are trustworthy people in your hands?" After thinking about it, I decided to say it out loud. Compared to the Turks, I believe that Yang Guang's life is more important in the eyes of Princess Yicheng, and in my eyes, the lives of tens of thousands of people in the Yanmen area are more important.
"I have been in the Eastern Turks for more than 20 years and have been in business for more than 20 years. There are still a group of trustworthy people under my command." Princess Yicheng thought about it and looked at me and said.
"What I mean is..." I glanced at the guards, then rode a horse to tell Princess Yicheng a little, and muttered in a low voice.
Princess Yicheng's eyes suddenly widened. After looking at me for a long time, she looked into the distance with a hesitation, playing with the horse whip in her hand, with a gloomy face. "This strategy seems to be too dangerous, right?"
"Actually, I originally wanted to volunteer. I want to kill all the Turkic guides in the team after saying goodbye to your highness and traveling south for more than a few days, then dress up as Xueyantuo people, and walk around to the north of the royal court, and attack a few smaller Turkic tribes to the south. In this way, I believe that the Turkic civil and military officials here will definitely pass this news to Shibi Khan."
"It's a pity that Weichen's subordinates are all Han people, so it's too easy to leave flaws, so I..." When I said this, I couldn't help but sigh with regret. There is no way. Now is not the era where fifty-six people are family, and when I set out, I didn't consider this issue at all.
Or at that time, I should have recruited a group of Western Region mercenaries in the eastern capital Luoyang or Chang'an. In the eastern capital and western capital, there were at least 100,000 Western Region barbarians, and even many white-skinned barbarians in the western capital. In that case, it would be absolutely realistic.
"If you have this intention, I will write down the emperor on behalf of the emperor and will be punished in the future. If I have this matter, I will take care of it." Princess Yicheng pondered for a long time, then shook her head and said.
I know she must be worried about our whereabouts. At that time, everyone will definitely know that Princess Yicheng wants to conspire with us to plot against the Turks, which will definitely be very unfavorable for Princess Yicheng's future situation.
As she rode her horse slowly, Princess Yicheng didn't speak, I was too lazy to say more, and she cheered up and admired this vast lake. Unfortunately, it is now the turn of autumn and winter. If it is midsummer, swimming in such a large lake without any heavy metal pollution, or fishing for cooking, would definitely be a very leisurely and enjoyable activity.
In the distance, you can see Turkic boys and girls grazing at the waterside. The white flock is like the clouds reflected in the lake in the sky, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
At this time, Princess Yicheng held the horse's head and I quickly cheered up. It seemed that she had made a decision.
Princess Yicheng said decisively: "There are thousands of cavalry under my command. Now that the army is heading south, the royal court is empty. I send my own guards to help the imperial guards stationed in the royal court patrol the surroundings. I believe they will definitely be happy."
When we returned to the camp where we were, I saw Yaoguang and his friends looking around anxiously. Yaoguang came up first, glanced at the Turkic guard who had turned around and left after escorting me back to the camp, and asked in a low voice: "How is it? Have you passed the news to His Highness the Princess?"
I turned over and jumped off the horse's back, threw the reins in my hand to Li Yuanfang, and then nodded to the brothers who were surrounded by the ticket. Everyone seemed to have a breath of vigor at the same time. Even a guy like Li Xuanba couldn't help but clenched his fists hard and looked excited.
"...Indeed, next, it depends on what Your Highness the Princess did." After listening to everything I said in this tent, Wei Yun whispered in a low voice.
"Yes, we are all Han people, and we are too unfamiliar with the grassland. It is too difficult to dress up as Xue Yantuo people. And it is naturally better to have His Royal Highness take action." The girl Yaoguang couldn't help but say joy.
"I just hope there will be no more changes." Qin Qiong replied after a smile.
"Probably not." I took a sip of wine and smashed my mouth. "I am quite smart in Princess Yicheng. When doing things, I will definitely be fine."
