As the old saying goes, any bandit is a scum in front of the organized Sui army. Suppressing bandits is one of the things that Sui army officers are least willing to do. It is too low-level and has too little technical content.`
However, it was still very rare for the Sui army to be able to roughly annihilate a frantically fleeing cavalry team on the grassland.
This is because their pre-arranged tactics are very appropriate, and also because they are the elite of the Sui army's border troops. When their cooperation becomes more and more tacit, defeating the enemy becomes as normal as eating and drinking.
The horse bandits were very poor, otherwise they would not be horse bandits, so they did not capture much. The horses were collected by the Sui army, and they took them with them with some disgust.
The most indispensable thing in Heng'an Town now is war horses.
After sharpening the knife with these horse bandits, this trip to Yunzhong Grassland has actually come to an end.
Li Po didn't want to run into any possessed ions again. One such thing would be enough. If it happens again, it would only mean that you are constantly seeking death.
But I still have to clean up my mess and save someone's life. It's really unreasonable not to say hello.
The next day, they easily caught up with the strange caravan.
The caravan was still walking so slowly, looking as leisurely as if they were on an outing. The attitude of a group of women who did not care about life and death, and who sacrificed their lives rather than their wealth, really made people admire them.
In fact, they will soon be able to enter the border of Dingxiang County. Once there, the Turkic tribes will gather together.
Although it cannot be compared with the Sui Dynasty where people come and go, Dali City, where the Royal Court is located, is now, or will be in the near future, the most densely populated place on the Yunzhong Grassland.
This will be the heart of a behemoth, and its status on the northern grasslands is no different from Chang'an.
However, in the 12th year of Daye, because the Turkic royal court moved south too hastily, everything was still being adjusted. Therefore, the horse bandits dared to carry out robberies so close to Dingxiang County, and the robbers were still carrying gold.
Wolf Banner's Caravan.`
And Li Po also dared to lead people to go back and forth in circles here.
To put it simply, the Turks had not yet established a stable foothold in the Yunzhong Grassland this year, making the place seem rather chaotic.
The caravan stopped again, and the women tightly surrounded several carriages.
"Excuse me, which warrior is here? The descendants of the divine wolf would like to thank you for driving away those hateful hyenas..."
The Turkic girl uses a very peculiar rhythm to speak the Turkic language as beautifully as singing.
"Did you hear what she said?"
Li Chun shook his head without hesitation. "If she could speak slower..."
Pa, Li Pohen gave her a slap on the head, "You're almost stupid with your sword practice. Do you want to be like your master when you grow up, knowing nothing but stabbing people?"
There was a cough from the side, and Yan Lu said that his master was nearby and could he not be so disrespectful.
Li Chun rubbed his head and muttered, "I can already speak a few words in Turkic dialect and understand a little. Master can't even speak a word."
"Well, you are better than your master..."
These two brothers and sisters are now more bad-mouthed than the other.
"Big brother, big brother, look at it, her eyes are really blue and her face is really white. She belongs to the Turkic royal family. So is this golden wolf flag real? Cut it back and give it to your sister-in-law. She will be happy."
Okay. Both brother and sister are thinking about getting the golden wolf flag.
Li Po couldn't help but nodded. This girl looked more and more like him, which made him very happy. She was just a Turkic royal family? Is there such a down-and-out Turkic royal family? Could it be that the Turkic people were also exiled? These are the prisoners after
?
He casually ordered the black boy Li Ya, "Go and ask them where they came from?"
In fact, no matter what etiquette Li Po maintained, it was impossible for this caravan to go to Dingxiang County.`
What their origins can determine is their final fate. If they were just ordinary Turkic royals, they would definitely die here.
This was not an accidental encounter. Just like the Turks going south, the Sui army came to the grassland not to be a humble gentleman or to be a hero to save the beautiful.
This is a standard act of war. No one will show mercy. As long as Li Po gives an order, these women will immediately turn into cold corpses on the grassland.
The answer seems a bit unexpected, but also expected.
The Western Turks of Loufan County were relatives of Chuluo Khan.
That day in Liaodong, he had just seen Chuluo Khan and his entourage enter Emperor Yang Guang's Zhuojun palace from a distance. He never expected that Chuluo Khan's relatives would appear here, and... they were in such a miserable state.
It seems that life is not going well for everyone. Are you here to visit relatives? Do you want to ask rich relatives to help? Obviously, this relative in Da Sui is not good at taking care of others, leaving people thinking about making a living on their own.
After hearing this, Li Po's eyes flashed with murderous intent, then disappeared. After thinking for a long time, he immediately ordered, "Let them go with us. Those who don't want to leave don't have to leave."
……………………
At the same time, Ashina Yunzhen was also talking beside her sister, "Sister, they are not the tribe of the royal court, they seem... they seem to be Sui people..."
Ashnarong Zhen frowned immediately. Meeting the Sui people on the Yunzhong Grassland was worse than meeting the horse bandits, because this time they were going to Dingxiang County to meet the Turkic Khan.
The Sui people were different from the grassland tribes, and they were still Sui army soldiers, so they were even more different.
The caravan turned around helplessly. They might still have a fight with the horse bandits, but when they encountered these tough and well-ordered Sui cavalry, they had no choice.
Of course, the impression that the Sui people were more reasonable than the horse bandits was also the reason for their temporary surrender.
With a slim future, they have been teased by fate and are now a little helpless. Well, their god has probably taken a nap again.
When they camped at night, they looked helplessly at the Great Wall that was just around the corner. They no longer lamented how this big thing was built, but felt that it was like a rope, trapping everyone who entered its embrace.
It's hard for people to leave.
Next to the dim bonfire, Li Po happily gnawed on the roasted leg of lamb, and he rarely praised his sister's knife skills, which were already as good as his, and the roasted leg of lamb was very tasty.
Several officers came over and took some advantage. They hid in the side and ate happily. They said that the food at the master's house was better than that at other people's houses. Moreover, they also brought girls with them. Why didn't they have such a kitchen that could be used in the hall or downstairs?
Where's the good girl?
The black boy Li Ya came over, leaned into Li Po's ear and said a few words.
Li Po waved his hand, "Let them come over."
Two foreign women, one tall and one short, came to the campfire. Their eyes, one red and one blue, reflected the light of the fire and gave off a strange light.
The tall Ashnarongzhen stroked his chest as a courtesy, "I am Ashnarongzhen, and this is my sister Ashnarongzhen."
Li Po stood up reluctantly, pulled Yan Lu over, wiped his hands on his robe, then beat his chest and said, "My name is Li Po, sit down and talk."
Yan Lu was very unhappy and ran away, muttering that if his only disciple hadn't been this guy's sister, he would have given him a sword blow.
At this time, his precious apprentice no longer cared about his master, and stayed beside his brother, curiously looking at these two Turkic women with unusual looks.
Ashnarongzhen turned his back to the firelight and sat opposite Li Po, leaving a large shadow in front of her, which looked a bit eerie.
In fact, it's very good. Such people are a rare breed.
Her voice was a little low, and there was a vague and dangerous aura about her, which made Li Po feel a little uncomfortable, but those wine-red eyes made Li Po feel very strange.
I thought, the Western Turkic people are quite mixed.
"I just want to know, where are you taking us? We are just people who have lost our home and glory, and are of no use to you. We can neither kill your enemies for you, nor give you wealth. Could it be...
…Do you want to add your blood to the bloodline of the Turkic royal family?”
The question was so direct and rude, especially for a woman, that Li Po was surprised.
He habitually showed his eight teeth and said with a smile that didn't answer the question: "I think you should have noticed that we are from the Sui Dynasty. By the way, can you speak Chinese?"
"I know a little bit, but I don't say much..." She looked at the Sui general in front of her, and she was thinking about whether if she could catch him, they could be saved.
Her hostility was so obvious that Li Chun immediately tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword, and Yan Lu also came closer excitedly. This perverted guy had not killed anyone for a long time, and he even missed the mountains and forests of Goguryeo now.
Li Po didn't seem to be aware of it, "I can also speak some Turkic languages, but I don't speak much."
"Let's put it this way, I'm very curious. Chuluo Khan came to the Great Sui Dynasty and asked for the protection of the Great Sui Dynasty, but his people wanted to go to Dali City. Is this what Chuluo Khan meant?"
"No, we haven't seen him for a long time. We lost our sheep, our tribe is starving, and you Sui people are not willing to help us anymore, so we are going to Dali City."
Ashina Rongzhen slowly relaxed her body. She was undoubtedly a woman with self-destructive tendencies, but when she was about to lose control of herself, there seemed to be a rope that could tie up the part of her heart that wanted to escape.
Out of the beast.
Li Po blinked, stared at the other party in surprise, and said: "Are you Turks like this? I didn't think about how to repay the host's warm hospitality, just because the host couldn't give me anything anymore, so he
To join their enemies?"
Li Po pouted, shook his head repeatedly, and sighed: "We Sui people really can't afford to entertain such guests."
(Kavin, Kavin, Kavin, my mind seems to be spinning. I wrote a few hundred words, deleted and rewritten them, but I’m still not satisfied. I’m writing very slowly. It’s already twelve o’clock. This chapter
I’ve finished writing it, and it looks like I’ll have to stay up until two or three o’clock for the next chapter. It’s too uncomfortable.)
