Absi suddenly woke up, the room was brightly lit, and he saw a man covered in blood standing beside his bed, playing with his golden seal in his hand, which was the royal seal of faith given to him by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
He was old and his reaction was a little slow. At this time, he finally reacted. He turned over in shock and was about to jump up. The sharp knife was accurately placed on his neck.
He didn't dare to move, "Did you kill my wife?"
Li Ye said calmly: "I never kill a woman, I will keep her to deliver messages to the Geluolu people."
"Who are you?" Arbus asked sharply, his voice loud.
Li Ye laughed and said, "No matter how loud you sound, it's useless. In the entire Jinshan Fort, we are the only two men alive."
"Who are you?" Absi's voice was filled with endless fear.
"I am just a soldier of the Tang Army. I am going to use your head to mark my merits."
"I'll give you money. The box next to me is full of gold and jewelry. I'll give them all to you. Just beg me to let me go!"
Arbus begged for mercy, but his hand reached for a dagger under the pillow, but it came to nothing.
Li Ye raised his head and laughed, "Will I give you the chance?"
"We can discuss it easily. I still have some good things."
Li Ye slashed with his backhand and cut off Absi's neck without hesitation, and blood spurted all over the bed.
Many major events are caused by talking too much. Li Ye obviously does not have this script here.
Lying on the bed in another room was Albus's wife, with her hands and feet tied behind her back and her mouth gagged. A pair of beautiful eyes looked at Li Ye in horror. She was the little princess of Geluolu. She was very young, only sixteen years old.
At seven years old, she is the youngest daughter of Geluolu Khan. Three years ago, she married Absi in place of her eldest sister who died of illness, continuing the alliance between Tongluo and Geluolu.
Absi had four wives, his first wife died long ago, his second Turkic wife also died, and his third wife was the eldest princess of Gelulu Khan, who died of illness three years ago.
Three years ago, he married the little princess Ge Luolu, but the little princess didn't like Shuo Fang. She had been living in Absi's mansion in Chang'an and was also famous as a beauty in Chang'an.
Princess Ge Luolu's maid was also tied up and thrown in a corner. She was knocked unconscious and has not yet woken up.
At this time, Princess Ge Luolu was only covered with a transparent gauze. When she struggled, her belt spread out, and her astonishingly white body was completely exposed. Li Ye was a vigorous young man. Facing this world's best
Temptation, his throat was unusually dry.
Princess Ge Luolu looked at Li Ye imploringly, her beautiful big eyes were pitiful, but they inspired Li Ye's desire to conquer. He suddenly remembered the scene behind the stable, and a ball of fire burned violently in his chest.
There was also a raging fire in Jinshan Fort, and the captive women had already left, each riding a horse and driving dozens of sheep.
Anji was also sent back first by Li Ye. He returned to the tribe with his sister-in-law and the wife of his neighbor Azhan Jiang.
Li Ye threw a knife to Princess Geluolu. She was wearing armor and looked heroic. She was completely different from the woman who was crying sadly last night.
Her little maid was waiting on horseback in the distance. She was knocked unconscious by Li Ye and didn't wake up until dawn. She didn't know what had happened.
"Let's go! There is enough dry food and water on the horses, as well as five boxes of wealth. You can take them all with you. There are your officials and garrison two hundred miles away. There should be no danger on the road."
Princess Ge Luolu bit her lip and said, "You killed my husband and took away my first night. According to the rules of our grassland, I am your woman. You have to take me back to Chang'an!"
Li Ye is really big-headed. He was too murderous last night and couldn't control his desire. He took possession of this woman. But he never expected that this would be his first time with this woman.
Because of this, he took away all five boxes of Albus's treasures to her as compensation.
Li Ye shook his head, "I am doing this for your own good. You are Absi's wife. If you return to Chang'an, your fate will be very tragic. The court will not let you go."
Princess Geluolu's big black and white eyes stared at this tall, dark and thin Tang Army soldier. She was really shocked. He actually killed more than 300 people by himself. Was he a god or a devil?
Princess Geluolu suddenly remembered his clumsy scene last night, and a sly smile appeared on her lips, "It was your first time last night, too!"
Li Ye blushed, "Nonsense, leave quickly!"
Princess Ge Luolu took a deep look at him and urged her horse to leave. She took her maid and several war horses loaded with property and supplies and went away. They were very far away, and she turned back to look at Li Ye.
Li Ye waited until the princess was completely gone, then he looked at the map drawn by Anji, blew a whistle, and ran towards the northeast with hundreds of horses.
At the junction of the Sijie and Geluolu tribes, two Tang armies met here, with a total of 20,000 cavalry. At the same time, the Sijie tribe provided 300,000 sheep as their logistics supplies, which were actually provided by Uighurs.
In order to obtain food, the Tang army handed over 6,000 Tongluo prisoners of war to the Uighurs in exchange for logistical support from the Uighurs.
However, the Geluolu people did not make any move, nor did they mobilize their troops to confront the Tang army. The Geluolu people denied that Absi was in their hands, which really put Guo Ziyi in a difficult position.
The large tent of the Tang army consisted of more than 3,000 tents and stretched for dozens of miles. This was also a tent lent to them by the Uighur people. Of course, the Uighur people hoped that the Tang army would go to war with the Geluolu people and uproot this old enemy that they had been fighting against for many years.
The power can also expand to the west of Jinshan Mountain.
However, the commander-in-chief of the Tang Army was Guo Ziyi, an experienced and politically astute veteran. He would not easily fall for the Huihe people's plot to kill someone with a borrowed knife. He deliberately built the camp very loosely, completely undefended, and did not enter Ge Luolu's territory.
Send a signal to the Geluolu people that they are not here to fight, but just hope to solve the problem of Absi through negotiation.
But the 20,000 cavalry did exist. If the Geluolu people persisted, the Tang army would attack at any time.
Geluolu Khan also caught the two-layered intention of the Tang army. He immediately responded. On the one hand, he assembled an army of 50,000 troops near the king's tent, but on the other hand, he was far away from the Tang army's camp. His army was at least a thousand miles away from the Tang army.
At the same time, they kept sending envoys to explain to Guo Ziyi that they did not dare to accept Abusi's asylum, and Abusi crossed the border and left to join the Western Gesar people.
In the middle tent, Guo Ziyi spread out a map on the table and found the distant Gesa Khanate, across the Yibo Sea, on the grassland thousands of miles away.
Cheng Qianli, the governor of Beiting, said at the side: "The Gesha people were originally a Tiele branch and lived in the north of Jinshan Mountain. Today, they are on the land of the Geluolu people. They were defeated by the Turks during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. In order to avoid annihilation, the whole people
The tribesmen moved to the west, thousands of miles away, where they had no rivals and quickly established the Gesa Khanate. They did have a good relationship with the Tongluo tribe back then, and they were able to successfully evacuate with the help of the Tongluo tribe."
Guo Ziyi shook his head, "His Royal Highness King Guangping told me that the Tuqi Shi tribe was destroyed in the early years of Tianbao. The area from the west of Congling to Rehai is relatively chaotic. All major forces want to get involved. The imperial court is worried that the Geluolu people will support Absi to unify the heat."
At that time, Abu Si was the guardian of Usumish Khan, and he had roots there. Once Abu Si rose again, the Tang Dynasty would have a great influence on the control of the Western Regions."
Cheng Qianli was startled and nodded repeatedly: "The old general is right, Absi is a very valuable chess piece. The Geluolu people will not give up easily. Absi must still be in their hands."
Guo Ziyi shook his head again and said: "If we launch a military attack on the Geluolu people, we will play into the Uighurs' intentions. The Uighurs will definitely send troops. The imperial court also does not want the Uighurs to become the second Turks. The imperial court hopes that the Geluolu people can contain them.
In Huihe, only when cranes and clams compete can the fisherman profit."
Speaking of this, Guo Ziyi let out a long sigh, "What a dilemma!"
At this moment, a soldier reported at the entrance of the tent, "To inform the old general, a cavalryman from the Tang Army came outside the tent. He is a soldier of His Royal Highness King Guangping. His name is Li Ye. He said that the commander-in-chief knows him."
