Chapter 63 On the Undercurrent

"Little Khan, it's already dark, and it's easy to get lost in the mountains, so I'm afraid I can't find them." An Suiga added beside him.

"Yes, yes." Tutun was like being pardoned and nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice.

Sha Boluo did not make things difficult for this poor Tutun anymore, waved his hand to let him retreat, and said to himself: "Strange, what are the two thousand Zhou troops going into the mountain?"

An Suijia had an idea in his mind, which scared himself: "Little Khan, could they go around the back of the mountain to attack us?" But then he overturned himself: "No, what can two thousand people do unless Zhou Jun wants to die."

Sha Boluo waved his hand: "Don't worry about these two thousand people. I will send an order tomorrow to block the mountain pass. As long as I find the Zhou army and wipe it out."

Ansuijiasifu really didn't need to worry about the two thousand people, so he secretly scolded himself for making a fuss and blocked the mountain pass. These two thousand people could not hide in the mountains for a lifetime, otherwise they would starve them to death. As long as they dared to come out, how could they be the opponent of the Turkic army? But these two people would regret it for themselves to let go of this clue easily in a short time.

After entering the mountain for more than ten miles, the sun slowly sank. The Xuanlong Army found a mountain to camp, and the night was as cool as water. However, because the entire army was moving forward lightly, the camp tents, blankets and other overnight equipment were discarded, the soldiers had to put the horses in the outer circle, crowding people to get warmer with each other.

The personal soldiers prepared a small camp for Yang Tian to avoid the invasion of mountain wind, but Yang Tian tossed and turned in the tent and couldn't sleep. Yesterday, bloody scenes flashed in front of him. If he had said that he was a little merciful in the past, yesterday's scene had awakened him and he had already integrated into this era.

This is an era of power. Either you kill people or others kill you. He must make himself cruel. Otherwise, even if he is the son of the Duke, he will become the crown prince without any accidents in the future. He will still not be able to guarantee his safety. Now his opponent is only Turkic, and his opponent will become brothers, or even father and son.

In order to train his courage and be cruel to himself, Yang Tian killed one of four Turkic prisoners with his own hands yesterday. This time, his murder experience was not good. Although he looked like he was not caring during the day, he had suffered from insomnia all night yesterday. Once he closed his eyes, the bloody Turkic people seemed to appear in front of him.

Yang Tian sighed, and it seemed that he couldn't sleep again tonight. He lifted the tent and walked out of the tent. The voices of several personal soldiers came from his ears: "General!"

Looking at the few personal soldiers who looked respectful to him, Yang Tian smiled: "Thank you for your hard work."

"We will not work hard for the general to return to the general and watch over the night."

Several personal soldiers had red eyes. These people were also orphans adopted by Yang Tian. They had been together for several years, but they didn't expect that one person died as soon as they went to war and felt uncomfortable.

"I brought you to the battlefield, otherwise Li Sicheng wouldn't die. Do you blame me?"

Several personal soldiers were shocked, and one of them said emotionally: "General, if it weren't for you, we would have been the least lowly person. Maybe we had been starved to death or were beaten to death to rob food. Now we not only learned a lot of martial arts, but also learned a lot of knowledge. Everything we have given was given by the General, so we will naturally have to die for the General."

"Yes, General, we are willing to die for the General!" Several people answered in unison.

Yang Tian hushed: "Speak quietly, don't disturb others."

"Yes." Several personal soldiers straightened their chests and their voices were immediately pressed down.

"Do work hard, try to protect yourself when you go to the battlefield. I hope each of you can survive."

"Yes." Several personal soldiers responded, but they thought that once the general was in danger, they would have to protect the general's safety even if they sacrificed their lives.

The next day, the whole army began to move forward again. The more we went, the harder it was to go. Some places were in danger of life. After one morning, several horses had fallen into the mountain stream without any bones. Everyone could only move forward carefully. According to Li Chong's estimate, it would take at least three days for the army to get out of the mountain area.

Yang Tian did not expect that at this moment, his enemies were not only Turkic people. With the arrival of the Turkic people, the various conflicts accumulated over the past two years after Emperor Xuan ascended the top were almost at the critical point. The entire Great Zhou court was already undercurrents, and many people were waiting for the moment of outbreak.

At the center of Xiangyang County, there is a luxurious mansion with three large characters "Zhao Wang Mansion" engraved on the main entrance. In the garden in the mansion, a middle-aged man in a blue shirt carries his hands on his back and stares at the peach blossoms in the garden.

This person is the sixth son of Yu Wen Tai, the founder of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Yu Wen Zhao, the sixth uncle of the current six emperors. Yu Wen Zhao was smart since childhood and well-known in books. He was loved by Yu Wen Tai. During the reign of Emperor Gong of Wei, he was named Zhengping County Duke and later became Duke of Zhao. He was awarded the title of Grand Sikong and transferred to Grand Sima. Emperor Wu first ascended the throne. Yu Wen Zhao went further and was awarded the title of King of Zhao.

In addition to King Xian of Qi, Yuwen Zhao was also a younger brother valued by Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu asked Yuwen to recruit troops many times and was granted the title of Yongzhou Governor, and became the Grand Tutor. However, after his nephew Emperor Xuan ascended the throne, he not only killed King Xian of Qi, but also was not at ease with the emperor uncles of Yuwen Zhao, and released Yuwen Zhao to Xiangyang County near Liang State.

Yuwen Zhao has lived in Xiangyang for more than two years. According to the emperor's attitude towards him, it is very likely that he will die in Xiangyang County. Yuwen Zhao was discouraged when his fifth brother Yuwen Xian was killed, but he saw that his nephew became more and more disrespectful. The Great Zhou Dynasty might be out of control, so he could no longer sit still in Xiangyang County and began to actively contact the ministers in the court.

However, Yuwen Shenju, Wang Gui, Yuwen Xiaobo and others were killed one after another, which made Yuwen Zhao not dare to act rashly. Otherwise, once the emperor noticed, the only thing waiting for him was to end up like Yuwen Xian. He had to trap in the Xiang Palace every day and devote himself to flowers, plants and trees.

A girl jumped over and said, "Father, you are enjoying the peach blossoms again."

The girl is only sixteen or seventeen years old. She is tall, with picturesque eyebrows, and her chest is bulging and protruding. She is wearing a red dress, like a fiery red cloud floating over, and the bright peach blossoms are suddenly overshadowed.

Seeing his beloved daughter coming, a smile appeared in Yuwen Zhao's eyes: "Fang'er is here, but the peach blossoms here are not as beautiful as Fang'er."

Yu Wenfang held Yu Wenzhao's hand and shook it and said, "Father, you make fun of me."

Yuwen Zhao patted his daughter's hand lovingly: "Who dares to make fun of my Fang'er, I don't know which young man is lucky to marry Fang'er."

Yu Wenfang was about to refuse to accept the situation, but the housekeeper came over in panic: "Prince, Prince, it's not good. An angel comes. Prince quickly accepts the order."
