The moon is like a wolf's fang, and the night is like a dark curtain.
On the other side illuminated by the same moon, outside Jinyang City, there is a Turkic camp, with thousands of tents stretching into the distance like desert dunes, with no end in sight.
Among them, there is a huge tent standing in the center of the camp, which is the sleeping place of the Turkic leader.
Inside this tent, the lights are brightly lit, the furnishings are exquisite, and the space is spacious. A thin young man with sharp eyebrows and a sword nose, a broad face and blue eyes, is lying on the mat with his eyes wide open, staring at the roof of the tent.
The felt cloth of the tent door was opened, and a Turkic girl, disguised as a man, with a slightly heroic eyebrow, walked in carrying a plate of cheese and dried meat, and placed it on the low table next to the young man.
"?Special Service 1?! Can you have a good meal?
You said you wanted to fight all the way to Daxing - be careful to starve to death on the way."
The man pushed the plate away and waved for the other person to go out.
The girl pushed the plate back.
The man was stunned for a moment, then sat up and stared.
The girl picked out a piece of dried meat and handed it to the man's mouth.
"eat."
The two stared at each other for a long time, and the man finally looked away, picked a piece of cheese from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth.
The girl then got up and walked out. When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped, turned around and said:
"You can't do anything now - neither God's will nor revenge."
After that, he left the tent without waiting for the man to speak.
This girl's name is Sunong Linghua. The surname Sunong2 is a truly noble surname among the Blue Turks.
Inside the tent, the young man who was so excited by Sunong Ling's words jumped up and rushed to the door was called Ashina Jishesuzu 3.
Ashina means noble wolf in Turkic language.
Anyone who knows a little about Turkic history knows that Ashina is the first Turkic surname, and all Turkic khans have this surname without a semicolon.
And the identity of Ashina Jisheli is even more remarkable - he is the youngest son of Shibi Khan.
When the leader walked to the door, he had already thought of a bunch of counterattacks and was about to lift the blanket when he felt that as the commander of an army and a little girl, he was at a disadvantage anyway.
"Fuck."
He grabbed the empty space on the edge of the felt twice, then turned around and returned to the sleeping mat. He looked at the cheese and dried meat. Although he was very hungry, he had no appetite at all.
The association led the troops to kill Taiyuan this time, which was both repayment and revenge.
It is both driven by divine will and driven by ambition.
Two days ago, the [Tengri Tower] temporarily placed in the Khan's tent showed him a vision of divine decree.
The savior of the association, also his good brother Atoglen, appeared in the illusion.
In the illusion, Ah Di Gelan was covered in blood. After saying a few words, he suddenly exploded and shattered into blood and dust. Only two eyeballs were left rolling on the ground. They rolled and stopped, round and round.
Look straight at the association rate.
After seeing this picture, Ji Shusu couldn't sleep anymore. As soon as he closed his eyes, he could see Ah Di Gelan's eyes rolling on the ground, rolling over and over, getting farther and farther away from him.
close.
Immediately afterwards, a figure of a short-haired man appeared on the image. He was completely naked, with strong muscles, and his face was covered with a layer of gray mist.
This kind of scene played out in my mind over and over again, and no one would have a good appetite. He had not eaten much for several days.
But the illusion did not end there. The picture suddenly changed, and a group of running wolf figures appeared, crossing the desert, rushing across the grassland, climbing up the Han people's city wall, tearing into the Han people's flesh and blood.
The city was filled with fire, reflecting several large Turkic characters in the night sky, which meant Jinyang.
This was not over yet, the image changed again, the wolves captured one city after another, ran far and wide, and finally came to an unprecedented tall city. There were densely packed Han soldiers standing on the wall, tremblingly looking at
Came over.
The first wolf looked forward and saw another line of Turkic characters in the sky above the city, which meant great prosperity.
The illusion ends here.
If Daxing is established, its association rate will be known, and it will be the Kyoto of the Han people.
Based on the follow-up reminders of the divine decree and the past experience of completing the divine decree, the association rate quickly determined that this was a major divine decree that was connected by several smaller divine decrees. This kind of divine decree was rarely seen in the past.
He analyzed it according to the usual rules of divine decree promotion.
The first small divine decree is to avenge Ah Di Gelan. The enemy is in Jinyang.
The second minor divine decree is aimed at Jinyang. Defeat it.
There will be more later, but that is for later.
It was difficult for him to understand why such a complicated and vast divine decree would become his personal divine decree, but he accepted it without much thought and went south. He had no hesitation in avenging Ah Di Gelan.
It is currently impossible to predict what kind of enemy he will face in Jinyang.
Whether it is a hunter or a fox, what is certain is that the opponent must be powerful and difficult to deal with.
Because Atoglen has the same association rate and is an outstanding Turkic "Kulada"4, if this word is translated into Chinese characters, it means that the people who spread the Dharma are favored by the god "Tenggri"5.
Those Han people like to call "Kulada" the awakened disciples.
Adi Gelan specializes in the art of sacrifice.
The "Haihezi" in his head was a black-tasseled spear that exuded a strong evil aura. Jieshesu had seen it before. It was this black-tasseled spear that Adi Gelan used to save Jieshesu's life a few years ago.
Ah Di Gelan is very powerful. In terms of association rate, even if he is not as good as himself now, he is definitely not able to compete with ordinary Han awakened disciples.
Jiushesu sat up suddenly and grabbed the dried meat in his hands.
The person who killed Atoglen must have been an awakened disciple who had entered the Han Awakening Tower! Moreover, all awakened disciples in the entire tower must have participated in this murder.
The association rate was something I guessed two days ago.
Although they live in the grasslands all year round, their association rate is clear about the affairs of the Han people - among the Han people, awakened disciples rarely live alone. They are attached to the awakening tower summoned by the imperial court or major forces, and use their awakening skills to make bets.
, trying to reach the final ceremony of becoming a god.
The same must be true for the awakened disciples who killed Atraglan.
In all likelihood, they attached themselves to Li Yuan, who was left behind in Taiyuan.
The association leader once sent someone to inquire about this matter. It is said that there is no Awakening Tower in Jinyang. But for an official like Li Yuan, who will rebel sooner or later, it should not be surprising to have an Awakening Tower.
It's not that he has never thought about going to Taiyuan alone to take revenge, but his rationality tells him that doing so will probably result in failure or even put him in danger. What's more, the divine decree this time is not just about revenge.
It happens to be the hunting season now. Since the last time Atta6 suffered a heavy loss at the hands of Li Yuan's two thousand cavalry and archers,7 the Turkic army has not gone south to fight the autumn wind for some time.
It also happened that Liu Wuzhou of Mayi had recently surrendered to Atta, thus opening the northern gate of the Sui Dynasty. Taiyuan was like a Han Chinese girl who had been stripped naked in front of the Turkic men.
The association leaders took this as an excuse and asked Atta to send his troops south to plunder, but Atta actually agreed.
It's not surprising when you think about it. Under the leadership of Atta, the Turks have reached their best era, with millions of strong soldiers throwing whips to cut off the flow. Even if they attack the city of Daxing, it's nothing, and if they rob Taiyuan, it's nothing.
What's more, it is true that the Han and Sui Dynasties were prosperous in the past, but now there are only a few grains of rice left in the bottom of the vat that have been squandered in the hands of prodigal sons. The war between the powerful and thieves is hard to put out, and they have no time to look north.
Regarding the association rate, even for the son of the Supreme King on the grassland, it is very difficult to lead tens of thousands of troops out of the grassland for a horse ride. Now that he has come out, he has no intention of running back empty-handed.
…
At this time, hurried footsteps were heard outside the camp.
As his thoughts wandered back, he noticed that he was holding a handful of dried meat in his hand.
He looked in the direction of Jinyang, stuffed the dried meat into his mouth, stood up and walked outside the tent.
There was silence in the sky under the crescent moon, and the patrolling soldiers saluted him.
Sunong Linghua stood not far outside the tent, looking in the direction where the footsteps came from.
"What's the matter?" asked the association rate.
"I don't know," Sunong Linghua looked over, "It came from a secret whistle in Jinyang."
After a while, a secret sentry dressed in black came closer and said, "Report the special service."
"explain."
"The east city gate of Jinyang opened for a while and then closed again."
"Is anyone out of town?"
"No."
"Just keep staring."
The whistle turned and left.
Youshesu watched the figure in black go away and gradually merged into the night.
"What?" Sun Nungling said, "Is there a problem?"
"I don't know. Let's take another look."
As he said this, he returned to the tent, put on his robe and walked out.
"Where are you going?" Sun Nungling said.
"Let's go out for a walk, I can't sleep anymore."
After hearing the news from Karma, I suddenly had a hunch that I should go out for a walk, and something good would happen.

1. Special service: meaning son, some historical records are also called "Tele", which is the title of the Khan's nephew and nephew. Special service itself is a title of nobility, not an official title, so it does not have administrative power and military command power.
.But in the author's setting, Ashina Jisheli is also a Turkic setting (high-ranking official position), so he can lead troops to fight.
2 Blue Turks: The core Turkic tribe. In a narrow sense, the Ashina tribe calls itself "Blue Turks". In a broad sense, there are several clans. In addition to Ashina, the Khan's surname, Ashid is the queen's surname, and Sunong is
, Zhisi, Relics and Tuli, and Bayan are the four noble surnames. Corresponding to the Blue Turks are some slave tribes such as Tiele and Sogdiana, which are called Black Turks.
3Ashina · Jishezu. Historically, Bi Khan really had such a son, but he was playing with mud elsewhere during the raid on Jinyang. The author changed it accordingly.
4 Kulada. It has been explained in the article. I just want to say here that this is the author's research on the Turkic language family in many ways and rigorously compiled it based on Turkic grammar... Well, I checked it in a large Turkic dictionary. It is quite difficult to understand and I can't find it.
Come up with a suitable word. Okay, I admit that I am not very intelligent.
5 Tengri. It is the Immortal God, the supreme god in the hearts of the Turks.
6Ata.Turkic Father.
7 refers to Li Yuan’s counterattack against the Turks in the twelfth year of the Sui Dynasty (616). At that time, the Turks, led by Shibi Khan, were swept forward and were suppressed by the division of the Sui Dynasty. The troops were strong and the momentum was strong, and they were repeatedly disturbed.
Northern Territory.
In order to fight back against the Turks, Li Yuan specially selected 2,000 soldiers who were good at riding and shooting. They made their diet and daily life completely imitate the Turks, adapted to their life and fighting methods, and waited for opportunities to attack the Turks. They won many times. The Turks were very fond of Li Yuan.
For fear.
It can also be seen from here - first, Li Yuan should have two skills in fighting. Second, Li Shimin's rare military talent has obvious genetic properties.
