The north wind whistles and snowflakes fly. This is not like spring has arrived.

Xue Shao looked up at the sky, frowned and murmured: "God, you are not good at it."

Such abnormal weather is obviously extremely unfavorable for marching and fighting. Even if the entrenchment has not moved, the severe cold and heavy snow have caused great trouble to the army under Xue Shao. In order to keep the people warm, the nearby mountains and forests have been cut to bare. Despite this, thousands of soldiers and horses in Xue Shao's army were still injured by the severe cold. The originally high morale is also low every day.

A whistle riding on the snow came, and Xue Shao's spirit slightly shook, "Which from the east? It must be that Xue Ne has news."

The whistle cavalry came forward to report that the envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Tian Guidao, had arrived in Heisha and wanted to ask to see Shuai Xue. At present, he was walking on the way to Fuyun Temple.

This news can be big or small. For Xue Shao's army, who is currently lying on the verge of a dead body, it is like a small stone suddenly thrown off the surface of a quiet lake.

All the generals and Zuo were moved when they heard this. Xue Chuyu, who had always been taciturn, also stood up and said, "Shi Shuai, Tian Guidao was ordered to go north to investigate the murder of Han slaves. Now he has suddenly returned in the wind and snow. I guess there is great news. Is it necessary that my subordinates ask for orders to prepare for war?"

"Yes!" Dugu Huizhi, Sha Zha Zhongyi and Duan Feng also joined together. They all said that the army was lying on the ground for a long time and morale gradually faded. It was time to move.

Xue Shao raised his hand to stop their discussion and asked, "Is there any news coming from the south?"

Dugu Huizhi stepped forward and replied that because the road was blocked by heavy snow, the road was blocked, and it had been a long time since he received news from the capital.

Xue Shao thought to himself that there had been a sign of the previous episode, and I expected that the capital would be troublesome. Now there is no slightest movement. I am afraid that it is not as simple as the heavy snow, but someone deliberately blocked the news?

"Guo An!" Xue Shao called out subconsciously.

Everyone was slightly stunned, and Zhang Cheng hurriedly went out to answer, whispering: "Shi Shuai, General Guo was sent to stay in the capital."

"Oh..." Xue Shao was stunned, "Since there is no news coming from the official road, Zhang Cheng, you send a few capable people to come south to find out the news. Remember, disguise yourself and act carefully."

"Get orders!" Zhang Cheng responded and stepped down.

Xue Shaoluo felt sad and thought to himself that although Zhang Cheng and others were capable, Guo An was not around, and he always felt that it was not so easy.

All the generals were still watching Xue Shao and waiting for him to issue an order.

Xue Shao thought for a moment, raised his head, "Get out the village and camp, and the whole army marched towards the black sand!"

"Get orders!"

The generals were generous in order, and their emotions rose for a while.

Xue Shao himself also let out a sigh of relief. An army is like a person, always staying still, and the blood will cool down and the passion will dissipate. Now even if there is no war to fight, I will still take them together and wander around. It will save the soldiers from rusting when they really fight.

A few days later.

On the southern foot of Tianguidao, more than 20 people in Tianguidao were walking forward with difficulty in the cold wind and snow.

Within half a year, he traveled thousands of miles north and south, and was still in the cold winter and was in the north of the desert, facing the wind and snow. The pain was so painful. In addition, he shouldered heavy responsibilities, Tian Guidao suffered a lot on his mission. He lost a lot of weight and even his hair and beard were half white in advance.

At this moment, Tian Guidao sat in the carriage with a frown, his heart was like a huge rock pressing on him. As an envoy of the Great Zhou, he understood more than anyone else the subtle relationship between the Great Zhou and the Turks, as well as the Queen, Xue Shao and Tsuyugu.

If handled well, the world will be peaceful and everything will be fine.

Otherwise, the war would be filled with blood and blood would even cause the dynasty to collapse and the world would be in danger of chaos.

And all this possibility seems to be confirmed in the next meeting between Tian Guidao and Xue Shao.

Tian Guidao, how can you not be nervous and how can you not be awe?

Suddenly a voice came in from outside the carriage, "Tian Sibin, Xue Shuai is here!"

Tian Guidao, who was suddenly restless, shuddered all over, "Where have you been?"

"The Pegasus came in front of me, and my subordinates have already seen the Xue Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi!"

"Quick, welcome!"

When Tian Guidao was exhausted, he hurriedly climbed off the carriage, Xue Shao had already jumped off his horse and strode to Tian Guidao, "Tian Sibin, long time no see!"

"Sir, please see Taiwei Xue!" Tian Guidao hurriedly sorted out his clothes and bowed his hands seriously.

"No gift, come!" Xue Shao took Tian Guidao's hand and left without saying a word.

The soldiers accompanying Xue Shao quickly pulled up a marching tent, and Xue Shao brought Tian Guidao in. Wu Yuan led the scout and the guards to hold swords and stand around the outer ring of the tent, making a circle, with the iron walls without leaking water, and there is no mess within a hundred steps.

Tian Guidao sat down, drank half a cup of hot wine with the remaining warmth, and he moved away a lot of coldness and fatigue. He wanted to let out a long sigh, but he felt like something was blocked in his chest and it was difficult to relax.

"Tian Sibin, don't worry." Xue Shao smiled, "We still have a lot of time to talk slowly."

Tian Guidao smiled bitterly and said to himself that as soon as I got off the carriage, you pulled me in. Is it you who is really anxious?

Xue Shao personally filled Tian Guidao with wine. After he drank it, he asked, "What's the situation when he headed north?"

Tian Guidao's brows immediately frowned deeply, "The situation in the Turkic country is even more complicated than we imagined. The ten Qu Luchu, headed by Shiyu Valley, held the power of the Turkic people. They unanimously said that Wang Yu had arbitrarily killed Han slaves before the war. But the officials visited privately but heard other voices."

Xue Shao smiled slightly, as expected.

"The Madame of the Turks is awesome..."

Speaking of this, Tian Guidao stopped slightly and subconsciously looked at Xue Shao.

"Speak." Xue Shao's face did not change.

Tian Guidao nodded and said, "The lower official did not get the opportunity to meet him, but she sent a secret envoy to meet him, telling the lower official that Wang Yu, as the Turkic prince consort, made great contributions in the quenching of the Mochu Rebellion, was named Xiangcha (also known as Killing, equivalent to a general). But he was only nominally in charge of military power, but was completely undermined by Ashideyi Luohe and others. At the beginning of the chaos in the north, Wang Yu was ordered to lead troops to challenge him, and Yi Luohe was his deputy general. In addition, two Qu Luchu were sent to supervise the army. In this situation, besides giving advice in the war, Wang Yu could still have real autonomy? Massacre of Han slaves was simply the idea of ​​supervising the army Qu Luchu, and the person in charge of the punishment was also Yi Luohe. As the commander of the three armies, Wang Yu had no other way except to take the blame for them."

After listening, Xue Shao thought for a moment, "Tian Sibin, which one do you believe in?"

Tian Guidao looked solemn and bowed, "Taiwei Xue, the lower officials dare not deceive you. The lower officials have known Wang Yu, and they have some understanding of his character. From a personal standpoint, the lower officials certainly believe in the statement of Virgin Mary Ke Dun. However, as the envoy sent by the Great Zhou Dynasty, I can only tend to accept the conclusion given by the Turkish Tooth Sect. After all, there are many documentary evidences on the Tooth Sect, but Virgin Mary Ke Dun is completely unfounded."

"It's good to do business," Xue Shaoluo smiled and said, "Then I'll ask you, have you ever met Wang Yu himself in person and asked him?"

"No." Tian Guidao's expression became more and more serious, and he said, "The Xiaguan has made negotiations many times and must meet Wang Yu in person to ask. But General Shiyugu refused for various reasons, and the Xiaguan is helpless!"

"How can this be done?" Xue Shao's face slightly darkened. "Such a big thing is not trustworthy by just one-sided words. No matter what the truth is, Wang Yu, a key figure, must be brought back to the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Only after our dynasty's rigorous interrogation through legal procedures can we draw a true conclusion."

"At that time, Xiaguan also negotiated with the Turks in this way." Tian Guidao sighed and said, "But Shiyugu insisted repeatedly that Wang Yu was the son-in-law of the Turks. If he committed a crime, the Turkic State should first be tried and punished. Once there is a result, he will give Dazhou an explanation."

"What is Shiyugu? Can he still convict the prisoners of my dynasty in place of the Three Sessions and Laws of the Great Zhou?" Xue Shao slapped the table and stood up, "Tian Guidao, you immediately return to the tent and tell Shiyugu what I said. Then he said that Wang Yu must hand over it and the conviction of our dynasty will be punished. Otherwise, he would be dismissive of the sect leader. This commander hereby solemnly warns that the consequences of his doing so will be very serious!"

Tian Guidao's face turned pale in an instant. He stood up in a hurry and bowed and said, "Mr. Xue is careful! If the officials really responded like this, war between the two countries will surely lead to a thousand miles of corpses, and the people will not live in vain!"

"I'm responsible."

Three words, one-time finale.

Tian Guidao stood in shock.

Xue Shao walked out, walked to the entrance of the tent and stopped. He turned around, clasped his fists at Tian Guidao and bowed, "Thank you for your hard work, Tian Sibin."

"Secretary, what is the responsibility..." Tian Guidao bowed and returned the gift, looking at Xue Shao seriously with his eyebrows.

Xue Shao smiled slightly and left.

Tian Guidao murmured, "It's a pity that I was born at the wrong time. Otherwise, I will be the heroic ruler for a lifetime!"

...

Capital, Luoyang.

Late at night, extremely cold.

The sound of the clamor of the slap in the night sky was rippling lazily, and the whole city slept deeply.

"ah!"

A shrill scream suddenly broke through the entire night sky.

The updater was so scared that he jumped up. He looked at the sound and screamed from a wealthy family.

"Where are you killing me!"

"save……"

"ah!"

Screaming in succession!

The updater was shocked and ran away. While running, he ran, and while ringing the gong in his hand, "Where to kill someone, kill someone! Come on, come on!!"

The rapid sound of the gong completely shattered the dreams of everyone nearby. The soldiers of Jinwu Guard patrolling the night and the bad people from Lifang flocked in. Someone grabbed the updater and said, "Where can I kill someone?"

"Not far ahead, Zhang Tong left home!"

Everyone was stunned. Zhang Tongxiu was the elder brother of Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong. Because the two Zhangs were favored, Zhang Tongxiu enjoyed all his wealth and glory with the chickens and dogs, and had long become a timely powerful man in Luoyang.

How can I neglect my family?

The soldiers and bad people rushed to Zhang Tongxiu's mansion. But when they arrived, the mansion was already silent.

Someone plucked up the courage to climb over the wall and opened the door of Zhang Tongxiu's house. When he saw that the house in the yard was covered with blood, and there was no living person everywhere. Some people even found a few big words written in blood in the hall of Zhang Tongxiu's house.

"also!"
Chapter completed!
