Chapter 067, Iron Cavalry, Hundreds of Khan, How can I be promoted to the throne?

The Turkic barracks were relatively simple. They were located in a large valley where the water and grass were abundant on the banks of the Ate (Isek Lake). There were observation posts on the commanding heights on all sides. There were village railings arranged around them according to the terrain, and there were also scouts cruising nearby. There were tents of all sizes, and horses and fires were everywhere. The clothes of the samurai with swords were slightly different from the banners. They should be from different tribes.

The Turkic soldiers were all cavalry, and each of them had more than one horse. The people in the barracks seemed a little scattered and casual, but as long as the horn sounded, they could get on horseback and gather in a very short time and rushed out in a row. They had strong mobile combat capabilities. In this way, the army gathered by various tribes needed someone to coordinate and command to fight the army. The leading commander of the Turks was Ashide Yuanzhen, the leader of the largest tribe.

Che Bu was the spiritual leader of the Turks and had a high prestige, but he was just a nobleman who was obsessed with wine and sex. He did not have the strategic ability to lead the army and fight and manage the grassland troops. Otherwise, he would not have been under house arrest and could not escape for many years. He had the ability to make the Turkish troops obey the orders, but he still had to command and dispatch the army to rely on the commander Yuan Zhen.

But Chebu also has masters around him. The first high priest on the grassland, the shaman witch Gu Dulu was his chief guardian and the most important counselor. Now he is the role of a military advisor in the Turkic army. As a high priest, Gu Dulu was tied to Chebu's interests in the spiritual leader of the grassland. For many years, he has been protecting Bishi Khan's descendants and is also Chebu's most trusted confidant, obeying everything.

Gu Dulu's most proud disciple was also his assistant trained since childhood. His future heir, A Gudu, recognized Che Bu as his adoptive father. It can be seen that the two were so close that they were wearing pairs of pants. A Gudu was to cover Che Bu's breakout and died of the Mei family's general. Gu Dulu and Che Bu wanted to grab Mei Zhenyi and vent their anger. At this time, ask Zuo Youxian, a master, to take risks and do this to vent his personal anger, which also shows that both of them have no big mind.

That afternoon, the sun was heading west, and the cool breeze was blowing on the hot coast. The white clouds in the sky were faintly reflected in the lake, and the scenery was very distant. At this moment, a long roar came from the military camp, like a crane crying in the sky, causing a horse to neigh. A figure flew up with gray clouds and shot straight into the sky. It was the shaman's great witch Gu Dulu.

Gu Dulu asked in the distance: "Who is the master who is spying on my Turkic military camp?...Oh, Zuo Zhizun is back? Thank you for your hard work!... The Mei family also brought it? It turns out that he has great magical powers, and I admire you!"

The visitors were Zuo Youxian and Mei Zhenyi. After failing to escape at noon today, Mei Zhenyi lowered her head and put away her wrist guards, and was then taken away by Zuo Youxian Feitian. This time, she did not delay and went directly to the Turkic military camp.

Mei Zhenyi was not abused. Originally, Gu Dulu wanted to tie him to the horse tent with iron chains, but Zuo Youxian said, "I only promise to bring this son and send him to the two armies. As for the rest, I will deal with the rest." So Mei Zhenyi was sent to the big tent where Zuo Youxian lived. She was neither locked nor imprisoned by any other magic, and she was free to move.

But when Zuo Youxian left, he sneered and said to him: "Boy, you may want to escape, but I suggest you don't try it. This is in the military camp, and there are special troops outside to guard the army. Even if you can defeat a few people, you will definitely not be able to escape. If you don't do it well, you will lose your life in vain."

As Zuoyouxiandi, he was a distinguished guest of honor. He wanted to keep Mei Zhenyi in his camp, and Gu Dulu was not inconvenient to stop him. But Gu Dulu was still a little worried. Although there were military guards, he called several of his shamans and stared at him around.

The tent specially prepared by the car book for Zuo Youxian was very large and exquisite. When you pick up the curtains, there were curtains in it to separate them into two fronts and backs. There was a bedroom for rest and a place for living and entertaining guests in the front. The ground was covered with clean felt, and the tables and beds in the tent were all available. Of course, this was nothing in the heart of the Central Plains. But it was already a very high reception specification in the Turkic military tent.

What's more interesting is that there are two girls in the front room in the tent. They are about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a healthy and well-proportioned skin, with a translucent veil, and their clothes are very "short and delicate", even their navel and bare calves are exposed. They are sitting on felt resting, and they see Mei Zhenyi Zuo Youxian coming in, and quickly stand up and bow timidly.

They were female slaves bought from Kucha, and were sent to Zuo Xuzun's land in the car book. Zuo Youxian did not "enjoy" this pair of female slaves, nor did they drive them away, and stayed in the front tent to serve tea and water. During this period, Zuo Youxian went to Jiangnan to bring Mei Zhenyi, and the female slaves were also waiting in the empty tent to clean and clean up and dared not leave.

Zuo Youxian threw Mei Zhenyi into the big tent and left. Only a pair of Kucha female slaves stared at the eyes in the deep socket, looking at the big boy curiously. Mei Zhenyi is now tired and hungry. He is not as good as fasting. He has never eaten anything since last night. When he ran away, he ran 280 miles in one breath, and he has reached the verge of exhaustion of his spirit.

In addition to physical fatigue, more importantly, mental fatigue. Since being captured by Zuo Youxian, Mei Zhenyi has never given up hope of escaping for a moment. Even though Mei Yi did not succeed, he did not despair and kept trying to find a way. Today, the mechanism was almost successful, but in the end he failed. He really felt tired and tired. As soon as he entered the tent, he walked into the inner room and fell on the bed without saying anything. His head was dizzy but could not sleep.

People often say, "Everything depends on yourself, you have to control your destiny!" This is just an inspiring bold saying. In fact, no matter how powerful a person is or how smart his mind is, he cannot grasp all the variables in this world. In the military camp, Mei Zhenyi was powerless and could only rely on others to save him.

In his physical and mental exhaustion, he suddenly remembered a person, Mei Xiaolang, whom he had never met before.

Before the time travel, he was an orphan. Although he was rich and fed, he was almost the same as an orphan. "Father" was just a symbol and concept for him. Although Mei Xiaolang cared about him very much and even sent Mei Yi to Wuzhou, it was difficult for him to experience the kind of father-son relationship between ordinary people, after all, he had never even seen each other. At this moment, he missed his "father" extremely strongly. This was the first time in his life that he had such a eager hope.

Uncle Mei Yi must have sent the message to his father, and his father will definitely find a way to save him. As the prime minister of the dynasty, Duke Nanlu, there must be a way to save him from trouble. At this time, Mei Zhenyi was really like a child, so helpless, and her heart was full of expectations. Father, what a warm, sacred, trustworthy and dependable image.

Thinking of this, Mei Zhenyi felt a little excited and suddenly felt very hungry. He stood up and walked to the outside room, bowed to the two female slaves well and said, "Two sisters, can you help me get some food and drink? I am so hungry that I haven't eaten until now."

Seeing Mei Zhenyi talking to them so politely, the two girls quickly saluted and answered with a little panic. Their voices were crisp and pleasant, and their speech was as nice as singing. However, Mei Zhenyi didn't understand a single sentence. I don't know which country's bird song was? They didn't understand what Mei Zhenyi said.

Mei Zhenyi was helpless and could only gesture. One of the girls was very clever. She seemed to understand. She took off a large leather bag from the tent bracket, and the other girl took a sterling silver wine lord, and received a spicy wine from the skin, and respectfully served it to her eyes with both hands. Mei Zhenyi smiled bitterly and shook her head. What he wanted was not this, and it was really troublesome to not speak the language!

At this moment, someone suddenly spoke outside the tent: "Have you rested? You may not have eaten yet when you come from afar. General Yuanzhen of my family ordered the villain to send roasted lamb and cook tea. Please enjoy it."

What a good thing. Someone gave him a pillow as soon as he was sleepy! Who is General Yuanzhen? When the two girls heard the sound, they quickly opened the curtains. They saw a big man wearing leather armor and a scimitar standing in front of the door with a table-sized tray. Mei Zhenyi stepped forward and said, "You come in and talk, who is General Yuanzhen? Why did you give me food?"

The big man replied: "General Yuanzhen is the commander of the army and horses of various Turkic units this time. He asked the villain to tell Mr. Mei, and he would be at ease here for the time being. If you have any requests, just give me an order in front of the tent, and someone will take care of me... The words have been brought to Zuo Zhizun's tent, and the villain dares not go in."

Interestingly, the Turkic commander sent someone to comfort him, but I don’t know what the purpose is. What if he doesn’t matter? Let’s fill his stomach first. The disciple of the Medicine King Sun Simiao is still afraid that others will harm him. A whole roasted lamb is still steaming. It smells so good!

Mei Zhenyi was enjoying roasted whole lamb in the tent. Two young female slaves took the initiative to serve the cup carefully. Zuo Youxian was walking through the military camp to the golden tent in the center of the valley. When she walked to the middle of a group of tents, a group of Turkic warriors came towards her, all of whom were tall and tall, with distinctive armor.

Among the people, there was a general with a pheasant feather in a hat. He greeted him from afar and saluted, "Zuo Zhizun, Yuanzhen saluted you!...I heard that you brought the son of the commander of the Tang army from Jiangnan. You have worked hard all the way. Are you going to go to Lord Chebu to report?"

Zuo Youxian waved his sleeves lightly as a reward, and said lightly: "General Yuanzhen, aren't you asking knowingly? Are you waiting for me here? What do you have to say?"

Yuanzhen made a gesture, and his subordinates dispersed. The area where Zuo Youxian passed was exactly the territory of the Yuanzhen tribe. Seeing that there were no one around, Yuanzhen approached and said, "The war is imminent. The wizard Gu Dulu incited Lord Chepu to ask Zuo Xu to go deep into the dangerous place just to repay his own selfishness, and I think it is not worth it."

Zuo Youxian smiled faintly: "Is it worth it? I am willing to decide this at the banquet, and the general was also present, and he did not object. Are you going to teach me now?"

Yuanzhen waved his hand quickly: "How dare you mention the word "left supreme" in front of Zuo Xu Zun? Looking at the tens of thousands of military camps, Zuo Xu Zun is the most admired paradise, and it is different from our mediocre people. He did not object at the beginning because if the plan was successful and the court really sent Mei Xiaolang as the commander, then the young master of the Mei family would have great use. Zuo Xu Zun has made great contributions to me.... But what I call great use is different from Gu Dulu's idea. I am afraid that only Zuo Xu Zun can understand it."

Zuo Youxian was slightly stunned, looked at him and asked, "Do you have any ideas about that child?"

Yuanzhen took a step forward: "It's not that you have ideas about that child, but you want to plan for the safety of my 100,000 Turkic athletes and the survival of each tribe... Zuo Zhizun has also experienced the conquest of thousands of troops. Do you think that with these 100,000 elite cavalry, can you really defeat the Tang court forever?"

Hum? There is something wrong with this! Especially when it comes to Yuan Zhen, the Turkic military commander, is even more intriguing. Zuo Youxian saw him not speaking, and his expression was very profound. Yuan Zhen was numb by his sight. Since he had already said something, he simply said everything in his heart.

This time, the Turkic tribes responded to the call of the chariot. All the elites were already coming, and all the men who could fight were here, and only the elderly, weak, women and children were left in the tribes. This was both beneficial and disadvantageous. On the one hand, the Turkic tribes achieved an unprecedented unity in recent years and gathered into a powerful force; on the other hand, if the entire army was accidentally wiped out, the Turkic people would lose the capital to turn over and the confidence to survive.

Mei Xiaolang's army was just a fist stretched out from the Tang Empire, and the Turkic army had already bet on all their wealth, even if they could win in one battle, they would seriously damage their vitality. It would also lead to a larger-scale campaign by the court, and it would be impossible to fight blindly in the long run.

Although the Turks declined for a long time, their energy has not been exhausted. The large part of the reason is that the tribes are scattered in the grasslands and deserts, and the price of the labor troops in the Tang Dynasty was too high and it was difficult to achieve their full results. Therefore, they could only use the insurgency to intimidate the rebels and the rest of the tribes to appease the rest. But this time the situation was different, which was equivalent to making dumplings and waiting for the other party to serve the pot.

This time, a powerful force should not be used to make a fuss. Instead, we should use it to gain more long-term benefits for the Turkic tribes. Not long ago, the army captured and looted the fortress Heisha City, showing the power of the Turks, and also robbed a lot of gold, silver, slaves and combat materials. The purpose of the first step has been achieved. What we need to do next should not be to rob and fight. Instead, we bargain with the power in our hands and wait for the court to appease us.

Yuanzhen's best result was that he hoped that the Tang Dynasty would draw the border of Rehai to be where the Turkic royal court was established, and that Chebu was enthroned as Khan. Chebu led the Turkic tribes to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty and regarded them as foreign subordinates, imitating the examples of Silla or Tubo. This would allow the Turkic tribes to recuperate and slowly plan for development, and the glory of the Bishi Khan era would not be unavoidable in the future.

The purpose of the rebellion of the army should be to unify the Turkic divisions and to strive for better pacification policies from the court. On the one hand, the demonstrations were held, and on the other hand, the conditions for peace talks were proposed. A matchmaker was needed in the middle, and the commander of the Tang army, Mei Xiaolang, was the most suitable!

If Mei Xiaolang failed to fight and defeated others' troops. He promoted the power of the Tang Dynasty, Che Bu led all the Turkish troops to submit and submit to the surrender, and it would be a great achievement when he said it out, and the court also had a glory. Mei Xiaolang was only the commander of the marching, and he could not be such a big landlord himself, but he could submit the court's suggestion on this matter, or even transfer the documents of the Turkish surrender. According to the policies since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he has always been kind and used together. "Grace" is still before "Prince". This plan is likely to be successful.

There are two prerequisites for realizing this plan: one is that Mei Xiaolang gives the Turks this face and is willing to use diplomatic means rather than military means to quell the rebellion. The other is that Che Bu is willing to surrender to the central government of the Tang Dynasty.

The first condition is now hopeful. Mei Xiaolang's eldest son secretly fell into the hands of the Turks. He had to solve the problem through diplomatic means both public and private. On the one hand, he could promote the prestige of the country without fighting, and on the other hand, he could also take the opportunity to save his son in private. But the other condition is very troublesome. Che Bu is a mediocre person with no strategy and foresight. His mentality has been distorted over the years. Now he has gathered an unprecedented army of 100,000, and he is determined to show off his power and vent his anger.

But only Che Bu has the appeal of the Turkic divisions. Others cannot replace his status for the time being. Yuan Zhen advised him several times but it was useless. Che Bu was instigated by the great witch Gu Duluo and decided to fight against Mei Xiaolang's army. Today Zuo Youxian captured Mei Xiaolang's son, which was a good thing, but Yuan Zhen heard that under Gu Duluo's bewitching, Che Bu planned to order Mei Zhenyi to push him to the two armies to behead the flag.

If that was true, all Yuanzhen's plans were ruined, Mei Xiaolang would definitely fight to the death without mercy, and the situation would have no room for maneuver. I heard that Zuo Youxian left Mr. Mei in his tent and did not hand it over to Gu Dulu for abuse. It seemed that there was a turning point in the matter, Yuan Zhen quickly asked Zuo Youxian to discuss it.
