Nineteen-eighth(1/2)
.
In the morning, birds sing and flowers scent, and the air is fresh.
When Temuir woke up, he found that Pulaba's thighs were pressing against him, which was very important.
Pulaba slept like a dead person, but fortunately it was not a dead person. The rumbling sound and saliva flowed very long. Temuir disliked this bearded man, but he felt a little sorry for this man. He made Pulaba have a home and could only sleep in the wild.
Temuer was sore that his whole body was sore that he felt comfortable that he had never felt before. It was not that he had the habit of abuse, but that he forgot when he had a comfortable sleep last time.
When he turned over and sat up, Temuir was a little confused. He always felt that there was something missing. Is it because he had fewer subordinates? Unlike, his subordinates were fewer every day. So far, only his brother was left, and he was numb. Is it because he had less money and women? It was not like, after escaping these days, he now felt that those were nothing but external things, but there must be something missing, otherwise why did he feel something was wrong.
"Plaba, wake up." Temuir pushed Plaba next to him, wanting him to think about it with him.
Pulaba slept like a dead pig, but was pushed by Temuir, but jumped up like a rabbit caught in the arrow. Zhang Xunsi advised, "What's the matter? Is Li Jing chasing him?"
Now Praba finally understands who Li Jing is. What demon Temuir is talking about can't describe Li Jing's viciousness, sinisterness, cunning, greedy, and cruelty at all.
In Pulaba's opinion, Li Jing has the patience of a wolf, the fierceness of a tiger, the cunning of a fox, and the difficult to deal with snakes. But these are not enough. Li Jing has the sensitive sense of smell as sharp as a dog, and Li Jing can keep up wherever they run.
"No, no chase." Temuir suddenly thought of something and said in surprise: "Praba, listen."
"What do you listen to?"
"What did you hear?"
"I heard the birds singing happily. I heard the stream flowing happily..."
"Idiot." Temoor suddenly stood up and said with joy: "Didn't you hear the sound of horse hooves chasing disappear?"
Temuer's words were very mysterious, but Pulaba actually understood it. He jumped up suddenly and said in surprise: "Did you mean Li Jing won't chase us?"
Temuir nodded vigorously, looked up at the green mountains, and tears flowed. "Oh God, you finally blessed us once."
The two were so happy that they hugged each other and danced for a while, but there was no tribe-men playing the beat. It was not so beautiful. Although Pulaba was beaten by Li Jing and vomited blood, fortunately the wound was not serious. People could always inspire unimaginable potential when they ran away. Pulaba recognized the direction of Temuir's escape, but actually chased Temuir and became brothers with him. Every day, they got up to escape with the sound of horse hooves in Li Jing, and were extremely exhausted.
After resting, Temuir's men finally ran away. The two of them could be said to be dependent on each other and didn't care about anything to complain about. Last night, Praba was injured and tired, so he really couldn't run anymore, and he wouldn't get up again, so he had to sleep. He just said that he would die if he died. It would be better to die if he ran away like this. Temuir was really exhausted and cruel to find a leeing hillside and fell asleep, but he didn't expect that Li Jing would chase them all the way and lost them.
After calming down, Temuir finally realized the status quo. The tribe was scattered and his subordinates were gone. The sons went to steal other people's jewelry women, but the old foundation at home was burned by Li Jing.
"This won't work. Someone must stop Li Jing." Temuir murmured to himself: "If this continues, the grassland will not have a stable life. This shameful robber."
"Yes, yes," Pulaba slapped his head, "But Khan went south, who could stop Li Jing?"
"Khan is not here, and there is Kedun." Temuur's eyes lit up. "I know Kedun is not far from here. We go to ask her for help and take back our tribe, women, and jewelry!"
**
When Temuir and Pulaba met Kedun, they found that it was not only the two of them who suffered. The tribes were all worried and looked worried.
Turuhe, Huxue, Sijie, Fuluo, Tongluo, Wei Tong and other tribes were all there. There was no tribe that had not been beaten by Li Jing from the west to the east. The tribes did not come to ask for help, but because they were close to the northwest of the grassland, they were not affected by this round of war. Now Kedun's big tent is more like a tribe meeting on the grassland. Everyone was clamoring and making a fuss, turning a blind eye to the arrival of Temuir and others.
Temoor shouted loudly: "Don't argue anymore, listen to Kedun's opinion."
Everyone stopped the voice, and Ke Dun finally frowned and asked, "How many people are there in Li Jing?"
"Ten thousand!"
"Thirty thousand!"
"A hundred thousand troops!"
Three Shijin gave three completely different answers.
Ke Dun looked at Mozhi and replied, "You ask the soldiers to closely investigate Li Jing's movements. You must withstand Li Jing's 100,000 troops. Everyone is here for us. We have the responsibility to protect their safety."
Damozhi responded and left the tent. When the Jins looked at each other, they sat down safely and breathed a sigh of relief.
"The 100,000 army seems a bit unworthy of its name," Ke Dun said high above: "As far as I know, Li Jing was a marriage envoy this time, and he only brought a few hundred soldiers?"
"It's impossible," Ji Jin and others felt that their feet were on the ground. They couldn't say that they were beaten by hundreds of soldiers. "Ke Dun, Li Jing may have brought hundreds of soldiers on the surface, but the more likely is that the Sui Dynasty had secretly sent troops to mingle into the grassland, and now under his leadership, he has retaliated against the grassland."
"Yes, I said a long time ago that the Great Sui Dynasty cannot fight, and it will be retribution now." Temuir suddenly said, and when he saw everyone Qijin looking at him, he was a little embarrassed, "What do you think I do? But Dun kept saying that we are a friendly country with the Great Sui Dynasty."
Ke Dun frowned and said after a long time, "What you said is indeed possible. How many cavalry can you have to mobilize now?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads, "Ke Dun. Our cavalry has gone south. We cannot organize effective resistance for a while. We all know that Ke Dun is the strongest in the grassland now, so we all come to ask Ke Dun for help."
Ke Dun sneered in his heart and said to me that when you sent troops, no one came to tell me. Now that Li Jing was beaten, he couldn't find me, and he began to think of me.
Although I felt disgusted, Ke Dun was still kind and said, "What are you going to do?"
"Please send troops to wipe out Li Jing." Everyone said in unison. In fact, no matter how many people Li Jing had, they were no longer brave and could not fight. The elite soldiers in the clan went out to rob. The remaining power was really limited, and they could not effectively resist Li Jing's thunder strike.
Ke Dun shook his head and said, "How can I lead the army to fight?"
Everyone said with a bitter face: "What should I do?"
Ke Dun suddenly smiled and said, "But although I can't lead the army to fight, I can elect one person to unite everyone's troops to fight against Li Jing."
“是谁?”众俟斤大为诧异.
可敦拍拍手掌,牛皮大帐进来一中年
I coughed slightly, but there was a kind of fighting spirit in my eyes.
"I think many people present should know Ashina Shiliver," Kedun whispered: "He is Shibi Khan's younger brother."
**
After Ke Dun came out of the cowhide tent, an elusive smile appeared on his face.
Damozhi followed her with dozens of personal guards, not daring to relax a little. Ke Dun came to a very ordinary felt tent, opened the curtain and entered, Damozhi led the guards several feet away to guard her, and was fully alert.
A man dressed in a Turkic soldier sat in the felt tent, with a felt hat pressing half of his face. When Dun came in, he didn't move, like a puppet statue.
Seeing that the tea on the table was moving, Ke Dun asked, "Are you afraid that the tea will be toxic?"
"I'm not thirsty." His voice was low, without any fatigue. Although he turned to Qianli, he seemed to be much better than Temore.
Li Jing slowly raised his head and looked at the most powerful woman on the grassland without much expression.
"You are indeed a very cautious person." Ke Dun sat down at the case and whispered: "Temur and Praba finally arrived here as you expected. What should we do next?"
Ke Dun's eyes were calm, and Li Jing did not avoid it. "I have done what should be done for the Great Sui Dynasty. The rest should be based on Ke Dun's actions."
"I am a woman. If I send troops rashly this time, will Khan still allow me to be in the grassland?"
Li Jing smiled, "Of course, Ke Dun will not send troops this time. Ke Dun is doing things for the grassland. He wants to start a war with me this time, and of course he did it with the mercy of the grassland people. Shibi Khan is not a fool, so why would he make things difficult for you? But Ke Dun wants to speed up his actions. If the emperor is arrested, no matter whether you act or not, you will not stop him from dealing with you."
“你带有多少兵?”可敦好奇的问.
"If there are not many soldiers but the elite, what can 400,000 Turkic soldiers be there? Can we rush forward?"
Ke Dun thought about it carefully and said, "It's a very simple but profound truth. It's a pity that I don't have a handsome talent like you around me."
Li Jing said nothing.
Ke Dun sighed softly, "I heard of the name Li Jing when I was not married in Xijing. At that time, you were not successful, so I am the same, but I know that Li Jing is definitely a well-known man and trustworthy. If there was no lord, there would be no Ke Dun today. But I could have today's power, which is also the result of balance. I cannot be careless. Now I have asked Ashina Liver to lead troops to fight you, ready to report to Khan's emergency. As for whether he can withdraw the army with your will, it is not something I can predict."
Li Jing was still silent, just lowered his head, and no one could understand his intentions.
"Can you burn a little less or lose a few battles?"
"cannot."
"Why?"
"Li Jing may die, but he cannot be defeated." Li Jing responded in a deep voice.
Ke Dun looked at Li Jing for a long time, "Have you always been so arrogant in leading the army?"
"I'm not conceited, but I don't want to disappoint too many people." Li Jing said slowly: "Besides, defeat is not a good way. Only by winning can we keep putting pressure on Shibi Khan."
But Dun was extremely majestic to his subordinates, but he was not angry at Li Jing. "But you have to know that if Shi Liver was defeated, it might have the opposite effect."
Li Jing laughed. There was sarcasm in his eyebrows, "Ke Dun was joking. In fact, Ke Dun's real intention was not just that. Of course, I led troops to make waves on the grassland, which may not necessarily make Khan turn around, but Ke Dun supported Shiliver, which was where Khan was really worried. Shiliver was the younger brother of Khan, and he had always been incompatible with Duoji and had prestige in the grassland. He was incomparable to Chi Jishi. His power rose, and Khan could not stop attacking Yanmen for a long time. Reinforcements from various counties would arrive sooner or later. The north was in chaos, and Shiliver was powerful, which was likely to steal his Khan's position. If everything was added together, his status was unstable, so how could he not go back?"
Ke Dun's eyes were burning, "Is there really nothing I can hide from you?"
Li Jing smiled, "Some things. Don't hide them. Some things are destined to be the result!"
Ke Dun pondered about the two words Li Jing said. After a while, he sighed, "You are leaving now. Can you tell me where you are going? I have some preparations in advance?"
Li Jing shook his head, "No, my soldiers obey me and trust me, how can I make fun of my soldiers' lives?"
Ke Dun laughed and nodded, "Li Jing, you are not simple."
After she finished speaking, she got up and left the camp tent, but Li Jing did not move and sat till night. Then she got up, took the Kedunfadi token and left the camp tent. She walked north to a valley and climbed the mountain. She arrived at the other side of the mountain, where there were his three hundred soldiers and dozens of imperial guards. When she saw Li Jing coming from the mountain, Sun Shaofang couldn't help but say, "Mr. Li, there are actually closer to here."
Li Jing looked back and said, "Sometimes, it's not a shortcut to go around."
Sun Shaofang shook his head and thought to himself that Li Jing's words were comparable to that Daoxin, which was simple and clear but difficult to understand.
When everyone sent troops to the valley, the soldiers were still as usual, as they were as fierce as they were. The guards admired Li Jing, and they were so arrogant that they admired Li Jing. Although they were chaotic wars, they were always enemies, but Li Jing was fighting. Li Jing's soldiers were always disciplined and could seize the initiative when Li Jing issued a commander and defeated the opponent. They marched westward, but they were not tired, because Li Jing was the one who was able to raise his troops.
Li Jing led his troops to continue to go east, and everyone didn't ask questions. He knew that it would be better to follow Li Jing. In less than a few hours, he had arrived at the Kruren River. The river water was as bright as ever, and the war and fighting could not change its peace.
"Rest." After Li Jing finished speaking, he jumped off his horse, but looked down the river with a calm eyes.
Sun Shaofang didn't know Li Jing's intention, but knew that Li Jing never did boring things.
After half an hour of rest, two fast horses rushed over from the lower reaches of the Kruren River like flying. The man was dressed as a Turkic soldier, but Li Jing's subordinate, of course, for the convenience of walking. The man behind him was a woman, and the blue cloak could not cover her jade-like face, but she frowned. When she saw the soldiers from afar, she was shocked, but she was still following the soldier.
Li Jing slowly walked up to him, the soldier dismounted and bowed aside, but Li Jing's eyes fell on the woman's hand.
