Zhang Yun smiled bitterly and said: "Now that you know, I won't hide it from you. I am the commander of the scout army under King Jin. My name is Zhang Yun. Wait a minute, should we put on our clothes and talk about it again?"
This is a serious topic."
Princess Ye rolled her eyes and said with a sweet smile: "Unless you promise not to leave tonight, I will be able to have a good talk with you. Otherwise, I can only wait a few days until I calm down."
Zhang Yun was still anxious to report to his lord, and there was no time to wait. He could only nod, "Just once tonight, I promise you."
Princess Ye then stood up, put on a long gauze dress, and sat in front of Zhang Yun in a charming manner. Zhang Yun avoided her eyes and put on her clothes first.
He took out Guo Song's letter and handed it to Princess Ye, "This is a letter from my lord to the princess. Please read it."
When Princess Ye saw that the signature on the envelope was Guo Song, King of Jin of the Tang Dynasty, she put away her smile, took out the letter and read it carefully.
Guo Song expressed in the letter that he was willing to make her the Uighur female khan, on the condition that the Uighurs would not get involved in the Sijie tribe and at the same time release the Tongluo tribe.
Princess Ye was quite moved. Of course she knew this was an opportunity for her. Although she was a Uighur princess, she valued her own interests more. If she could realize her ambition, she would not care about sacrificing the Uighur tribe.
"Where is His Royal Highness King Jin now?" Princess Ye asked after thinking for a long time.
"He is on the grassland, commanding an army of 100,000 people."
"It seems that he has passed through the Nantong Luo tribe, and Chi Ya surrendered to him." Princess Ye was very smart. She guessed the location of Guo Song's army from Guo Song's conditions.
She glanced at Zhang Yun and said slowly: "I can agree to cooperate with His Highness Prince Jin, but I have a condition, that is, you must marry me."
Zhang Yun sighed and said: "I can marry you, but can you give up the grassland and go to the Central Plains with me? As long as you are willing to go to the Central Plains with me, I will definitely marry you."
Princess Ye bit her lips and asked her to give up her power and dreams. How could she do it?
She lowered her head for a while and said: "I have a son who stayed in the Pugu tribe. In the future, he will be the chief of the Pugu tribe. I want to have another son, your son."
Zhang Yun's heart softened. This was the first woman who was willing to give birth to a son for him. Although this woman was not an ordinary person, he was still moved by her.
He gently touched Princess Ye's face and said softly: "I promise you, I will stay with you well tonight."
...........
The 60,000-strong army was about to enter Uighur's 500-mile defense line. Guo Song broke into pieces and divided the 60,000-strong army into three parts. Yao Jin and Li Bing each led 20,000 troops to drag back and hide in the valley. Guo Song led 20,000 troops.
The army crossed the Hungu River and entered the warning range of the Uighur Army.
After the 20,000-strong army crossed the Hungu River for dozens of miles, they were discovered by two outlying Uighur outposts. They successively sent eagle messages to the Uighur Yazhang.
Uighur Khan Doros was considering how to eradicate Princess Ye. At this time, two urgent eagle messages arrived at the king's account almost at the same time. This news shocked him, and he hurriedly summoned the prime minister and generals to discuss the military situation.
Huihe Prime Minister Gu Duolu said slowly: "There will be no one else in this Tang army except Guo Song's army. The sudden killing of his army must be related to the civil strife in Sijie. I suspect that the young king Sijie sent someone to attack Guo Song."
The Khan must not underestimate the request for help. I suggest that the princess first send someone to condemn him and order him to return to the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, we must gather the army and prepare to fight."
Doros hesitated and asked: "Do you want to call Jiegangas back?"
Gu Duulu shook his head, "The Tang army obviously wants to force us to withdraw from Sijie. This is the famous Central Plains people's plan to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao. We must not be fooled."
King Basil of Jingmo said angrily: "The enemy army is only 20,000 people. Please Khan, let me lead an army of 10,000 troops to attack and see how I can kill them."
Dorothy's face sank, "Don't be impulsive!"
Deputy Prime Minister Guo Hedun Modagan said: "Khan, I also suggest sending troops to fight as soon as possible. Don't let the Tang army go north to affect the headquarters. An army of 10,000 is too small. Only by sending at least 30,000 troops can we ensure the complete annihilation of the Tang army."
The Uighurs have more than 100,000 troops at their disposal at any time. There are more than 10,000 troops stationed in the Jinshan area of Beiting and 20,000 troops stationed in the eastern city of Kedun. This time, General Jie Gangas was ordered to lead an army of 50,000 troops to prepare for the end of the war.
There are less than 40,000 troops left, and they are all members of the Huihe royal tribe and the Yaoluoge tribe. Their mission is to protect the Khan, and they will not be used unless absolutely necessary.
So Doros was very hesitant, he didn't want to send out the royal tribe's army.
Guduulu saw Doros's hesitation and advised: "A little eagle that has not experienced wind and rain can never grow up, and an army that has not experienced war can never become a warrior. Khan, let them go out and fight! Let them
Train yourself in death and blood and become a true warrior of Uighur."
In fact, Doluosi can also ask Princess Ye to ask for help from the Pugu Department. It will only take a few days for the army of the Pugu Department to arrive, so they should be able to catch up. However, thinking of the relationship between Princess Ye and himself, Doluosi sighed secretly in his heart.
After everyone's persuasion, Doros finally decided to send troops. He said to the deputy prime minister, Hedun Modagan: "The deputy prime minister's country has rich experience in fighting in the south and north. I will order you to command 30,000 Yaoluoge troops to fight against the Tang army!"
"I humbly obey orders!"
Douluosi shouted to the generals again: "The Tang army has never attacked the Uighur Yazhang. This is a shame for the Uighurs. I hope you will kill all the enemy troops and use their heads to build bone monuments as a warning to future generations!"
The generals agreed enthusiastically and walked out of the tent to order troops.
The Uighur Yazhang began to mobilize, and cavalry groups gathered from all directions. The Uighur people helped the old and young and walked out of the tent to boost the morale of the army.
At this time, Xiang Guo Duo Lu whispered to Douluo Si: "There are two plans to be implemented at the same time. The Khan can ask Princess Ye to come forward and summon the army of the Pu Gu tribe to help in the battle. There are 30,000 troops of the Pu Gu tribe.
In response, we will win this battle."
Dorothy sighed, "I'm just afraid that she won't hide it from me and won't agree."
"The defeat of the Uighur army also harmed her vital interests. She responded yes. As long as the Khan comforted her with good words, gave her enough face, and returned the taxing rights of the seven northern tribes to her, she would definitely help the Khan.
.”
Doros nodded, "Then let me give it a try. What other plans does the Prime Minister have?"
"Another plan is to send someone to notify Zhu Tao to send troops to Hedong. Since Guo Song can encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, we can also implement it. With Zhu Tao at the rear to contain it, at least Guo Song will not dare to send reinforcements northward."
This was a good idea, and Doros readily agreed.
He immediately sent an envoy south to Youzhou to inform Zhu Tao to send troops to Hedong. At the same time, Douluosi wrote a personal letter and sent his uncle Chi Duo to persuade Princess Ye.
To Douluosi's surprise, Princess Ye agreed and asked the Pugu Department to send troops to support Huihe to fight against the Tang army.
This made Doluosi very emotional. In the face of a national crisis, Princess Ye still put the overall situation first. He couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, so he asked Princess Xian'an to comfort Princess Ye on his behalf.
Princess Xian'an was Li Shi's daughter, named Li Ruyi. Two years ago, in order to invite Huihe to send troops to regain Chang'an again, Li Shi made his daughter a princess and married him to the Huihe Khan. Princess Xian'an left Fengzhou for the fortress.
, married to Changshou Tianqin Khan, but less than a year after the marriage, Changshou Tianqin Khan died of illness. According to the grassland inheritance custom, Princess Xian'an married his son Zhongzhen Khan.
Princess Xian'an's status in Huihe was not high, she was far away from her hometown, and her life was very miserable. She had a good relationship with Princess Ye, and they often communicated with each other.
In the afternoon, Princess Li Ruyi of Xian'an came to Princess Ye's tent on her husband's order.
At Princess Ye's camp, she saw a tall Han general from a distance. Of course Li Ruyi knew that when Princess Ye was training Han guards, she had also seen the Han commander Ma Xiong several times. She did not have a good impression of Ma Xiong.
However, the Han general in front of him was very majestic and full of righteousness. Li Ruyi was surprised. She stepped forward and asked: "What is your name? Where is your home?"
When Zhang Yun turned around, he saw a beautiful woman standing behind him. Although she was wearing Hufu, she was clearly a woman from the Tang Dynasty. He did not know Li Ruyi, but he was not rude and bowed and said: "I am Zhang Yun, a native of Jingzhao Chang'an.
!”
"Are you from Chang'an?"
Li Ruyi was suddenly surprised and happy, "Are you coming from Chang'an?"
"Ruyi, he is my new guard commander. He is a gold digger and very capable." Princess Ye appeared next to her.
Zhang Yun was the first man she had true feelings for, and she would never let Li Ruyi develop feelings for Zhang Yun.
Princess Ye said to Zhang Yun again: "Commander Zhang, go and do your work!"
Zhang Yun bowed and left. Li Ruyi watched Zhang Yun go away. She smiled slightly and said, "It seems that the princess likes this person very much!"
"Forget it!"
Princess Ye changed the subject and said, "Ruyi has something to do with me?"
"The Khan praised the princess for showing her righteousness, and wanted to invite the princess to the banquet to apologize for the previous rudeness."
Princess Ye sneered in her heart, she was just waiting for this opportunity!
"If it's a family banquet, I can go, but if it's a courtiers' banquet, I won't go."
"Okay! I'll tell the Khan to hold a family dinner for the princess and rekindle the relationship between brother and sister."
"But I've been feeling ill for the past two days. Let's give it a try in two days! I'll inform Brother Wang."
"Okay! I'll tell the Khan."
Li Ruyi was anxious to go back and report, so he didn't stay long and left immediately.
