"When spring comes next year, let's send Suo Tou Xi away together. Are you willing to go with me?" Su Chuixil did not sigh along with everyone's sighs. He raised his wine bowl and saluted everyone.
This bowl of wine is not good to drink, so it is difficult for the guests to make up their mind to respond to the host's enthusiasm. Leader Xier suggested that everyone send Xi Ren away, and he would not be setting up a banquet to farewell to him. For the survival of his tribe, he should not tolerate his heart.
I have mercy. But once I follow Su Chuoxir and send troops, no matter whether the result is victory or defeat, everyone will form a life-or-death alliance with him from now on. If I refuse to give up my crown, I am afraid that one day in the future, I will be in vain.
The swans must meet with their beaks in order to take the lead position. (Note 7)
Seeing that the elders refused to respond to him, Su Chuixil's smile slowly turned cold. He put away the wine bowl, took a sip himself, shook his head and sighed: "I always thought that the silver wolf was sent by the Immortal God to protect the people.
Appearing on the grassland, it brought everyone a good omen. But they never expected that the descendants of the white swan had long since become domestic ducks. Even if the fox built a nest around him, he only looked after himself.
Keep your head down and hatch the eggs! Feel free to do whatever you want, Suotou Xi won't put the horse next to Su Chuobu's tent for a while!"
This sentence was so serious that many tribal elders could not sit still. They straightened up and retorted loudly: "How could we become domesticated ducks! It's not that we don't dare to fight, it's just that external battles have always been led by Zhishi Bhan. He
Without blowing the horn, how can we raise the flag without authorization?"
"Zhi Shi Tu Khan? I would like to ask you all, have you calculated how far the Zhi Shi Department is from here?" Su Chuoxil asked with a few sneers from between his teeth.
"Tai Mi Henan, Xin Kai Hebei, it takes two full days to ride a fast horse from here!" The excited elders replied smoothly. In order to communicate with other tribes of the Xi clan, Zhishibhan would go to his own place every summer.
A grand meeting was held in the tribe, and the elders of each tribe were invited to the carnival. Each of the elders sitting here had attended the banquets of the Zhisheb tribe no less than ten times, and they knew the distance clearly.
"Then why do you think that Zhishuba wants to take care of things hundreds of miles away from his headquarters? In recent years, how has he ever taken care of things hundreds of miles away from Zhishuba? Our southern tribes have lost themselves
What are the harms of losing our pastures and losing our troops?" Su Chuixil's eyes were bright, and each question he raised was sharper than the last.
The elders were silent again. They knew that they had fallen into a dilemma. The commander-in-chief Khan was old and frail, so all the subordinates had already obeyed his orders and disobeyed them. If he took heavy action to deal with these people who did not obey his orders,
In the tribe, Zhiseiba Khan had many scruples and did not have the strength. But with the help of the Xi people who moved north, he could eliminate all potential contenders for the Khan's throne, but Zhiseiba Khan did not need to use any force. He only needed to
The messengers asking for help from various ministries left in a perfunctory manner. Within two years, the Xi tribe, which had recovered its strength, would no longer be willing to share a piece of pasture with the original owners of this place.
On the grassland, it is natural for a tribe to rise up on the corpses of its neighbors. Each piece of pasture can only support so many livestock. If the sheep of outsiders eat more grass, the sheep of the tribe will eat less.
Neither Zhang San nor Li Xu are proficient in Turkic language to the point where they can fully understand the issues discussed by the elders. They watched the old men, who were not too young, raise their wine bowls and put them down again, then put down their wines.
He picked up the bowl again and shouted while drinking. He spoke very fast and in a high-pitched tone. He thought that the other party had this habit when drinking, so he didn't mix it with the elders. He held the wine bowl himself, ate the mutton and chewed it carefully.
Taste.
But the expressions on the faces of Sun Jiu and Xu Dayan gradually became serious. One of them is an old man with rich experience, and the other is a young man with mature mind. As they listened and guessed, they had already guessed the dispute in the audience.
perhaps.
"No, it's probably a mistake to leave Xuzi here for the winter!" Sun Jiu thought to himself. He wanted to give Li Xu a warning, but because there was a smart guy behind Li Xu who could understand Zhongyuan dialect, he had to do it again.
He winked at Li Xu all over. Li Xu was not a smart kid to begin with, but at this moment, he was distracted by the contents of the cup. Sun Jiu could not wait to dig out his eyes and throw them into his arms, but he
Still didn't see anything.
"Young man, I heard that your goods were sold out very quickly. After the gathering tomorrow, are you going to take Silver Wolf back to the Central Plains before the snow is heavy? Or are you just hanging around for a few days?" Elder Miye was unwilling to talk to him.
Su Chuixir was too tense and made an excuse to change the topic to the guest. As if to take care of Li Xu's understanding of Turkic language, he spoke every word in the question very slowly.
"Xu Zi, you have to think clearly. Gan Luo is used to eating the mutton here, and he may not be willing to go back to the Central Plains with you in the future!" Uncle Jiu finally caught a chance and seriously reminded him in Chinese. After saying that, in order to take care of
He repeated the master's emotions in Turkic language. Every word was exactly the same, but the tone and expression of the two sentences were completely different.
"Me?" Li Xulu was stunned for a moment. This was exactly the request he planned to make to Chief Xier after the banquet. However, he did not expect that before he, as a guest, could speak, someone else had already taken the initiative to inquire. What made him even more unexpected was that
Uncle Jiu, who had agreed in advance to stay in Su Chuo's tribe, had some faint objections for some reason.
While Li Xu was thinking hard about how to answer to get the best of both worlds, another pleasant Chinese language came to his ears: "The elder is asking you, will you and Gan Luo stay in my tribe for the winter this year?"
Immediately afterwards, Tao Kuo took off his clothes and took a half step forward, sat next to Li Xu, repeated what he had just said to everyone in Turkic language, and then turned his eyes to Li Xu, his eyes full of expectation.
Why did Uncle Jiu change his attention? Li Xu frowned and thought. If he didn't stay in the Su Chuan tribe and followed the caravan back to the Central Plains, wouldn't it be equivalent to living up to all the sacrifices he had made beforehand? The merchant industry had a low status in the Sui Dynasty.
Once you enter, you can never look back. If you abandon your studies just to earn a few dollars, how can you live up to your father, uncle and Old Master Yang who have high hopes for you?
He tried his best to look away from Tao Kuo's hairless eyes and looked at Xu Dayan, who was more capable than him. However, he found that Xu Dayan was drinking with his head down and had no intention of making any suggestions for him.
At this point, Li Xu had no choice but to remain unchanged in response to all changes. He raised his wine bowl again, and while toasting to Su Chuixil and others, he explained in simple Turkic vocabulary: "In winter, it is cold on the road. I, Brother Xu
, and the little wolf is staying in the tribe to avoid the cold. Chief, accept it or not?!"
"Such a distinguished guest is willing to stay in our department. It's too late for everyone in Su Chuo's department to be happy. How could they not agree to your request?" Su Chuixil laughed loudly and raised the wine bowl to Li Xu and Xu Dayan.
He started and made a solemn promise: "Dear guest, please rest assured. You and Yin Lang will stay in our Su Chuo Department, and our Department will ensure that you are safe and sound!"
Li Xu held the bowl in both hands and raised his eyebrows, expressing his gratitude to the owner. Then he turned around and explained to Sun Jiu in the Central Plains dialect: "Uncle Jiu, if Gan Luo likes this place, he can stay in Su Chubu by himself in the future.
.Anyway, I don’t plan to keep it for the rest of my life! After all, it is a wolf, not a domestic dog!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the fast-talking Tao Kuo was like an oriole out of the valley, translated the original text into Turkic language word for word, and said it to everyone in the audience.
"Okay, you decide your own affairs!" Sun Jiu, who had always been very caring to Li Xu, suddenly seemed extremely disappointed in him. He sighed and answered in a very low voice.
Now that the matter has come to this, what else can Sun Jiu say? His Turkic language is slightly better than that of his other companions. When Su Cuixir suddenly mentioned the Xi tribe that migrated north, he already realized that something was wrong with the way things were going.
.The Xi tribe near Suotou Water was the first choice target for the caravan this time. Everyone had been wondering why the Xi tribe suddenly moved before the cold winter arrived. But at this time, they learned from the conversations between Su Chuoxil and the elders.
got the answer.
The Turks expanded and drove some Xi people away from their homeland. The Xi people migrated and came to the traditional pastures of the tribes of the Xi tribe. Su Chuosir originally planned to integrate the surrounding tribes and use the ability to fight against the invaders to spy on the Great Khan
He was ready for everything except a flag that could command all the ministries. But at this moment, Li Xu was holding the little wolf Ganluo, and under the guidance of a certain god in the dark, step by step
An opportunity presented itself to the tribe.
The matter was indeed irreversible. Just as Tao Kuo Tuosi translated Li Xu's answer into Turkic language and conveyed it to everyone's ears, the entire felt tent began to boil.
That silver wolf is not passing by, but will most likely stay in the Su Chuan tribe forever! Every elder of the Xi tribe heard this dizzying answer. Countless people secretly regretted it and hated themselves for not sending more groups these days.
The shepherds wandered around, trying to get the caravan to their own territory before Su Chuo's tribe.
What does it mean to have a rising tribe and a sacred beast that is recognized by many ethnic groups on the grassland? The answer is the only one and does not need explanation. From this moment on, it is no longer possible for them to reject Su Chuixil's proposal.
The tribes used their strength to drive away Suotou Xi's request. Otherwise, one day the old fox Aituo of the Suchu tribe will pass down the instructions of the gods through the wolf's mouth. The tribes that oppose Su Chuoxil's proposal today will become the obstacles on the way to the rise of the Suchu tribe.
The first stepping stone.
"By the God of Immortality, if Su Chuobu has only one piece of meat left, we will let our guests eat first. If Su Chuobu has only one felt tent left, our guests will not suffer from the cold. If Su Chuobu has only one piece of meat left, our guests will not suffer from the cold."
If there is a warrior who can fight, the enemy will not be able to stand in front of the honored guest with a sword!" Su Chui, the elder, suddenly became excited, raised his hands, and swore loudly to the northwest. Those few words in Turkic language said
Slowly and reverently, as if the entire grassland was listening to his oath.
Several important figures in the Su Chuo tribe swore an oath to the elders, and then raised their hands to the northwest. "Immortality is in the sky, if there is only one piece of meat left in the Su Chuo tribe..."
Looking at the crazy Li Ren, and then turning to look at the two young men who were trapped in the situation and were ignorant, Sun Jiu secretly sighed. He suddenly believed Wang Mazi's words. He took the two young men out of the fortress.
A huge mistake. Although the stupid young man in front of me is not a disaster star, he is an out-and-out firebrand.
At this moment, the Su Chuanbu is like a pile of hay that has been dried for decades. After the fire splashes on it, the outcome is no longer controllable by anyone. (To be continued)
