There is a long-standing legend among Turks that a wolf pack raised a human child.
After a human child grows up among wolves, he becomes the leader of the wolf pack.
Because of this legend, the Turks believe that humans can communicate with steppe wolves.
So the Turks began to consciously domesticate wolves.
After several generations of exploration, some Turkic people are able to live in harmony with wolves.
At night, a man from the secret edict was telling people who had not fallen asleep what he had seen.
He knew very much about Turkic affairs, and later he found out that this person was a Turkic person.
Speaking of the matter between humans and wolves, Bai Song naturally thought of the Turkic woman who had been chasing him all the way from Youzhou.
And the opponent left a machete behind.
Halfway there, it was he who controlled the wolves to pursue them all the way.
Bai Song believed that what the other party said was true.
But the wolf pack controlled by that woman was only a dozen, but what she saw before her eyes was an uncountable size.
Can humans really control a pack of tens of thousands of wolves?
Bai Song still felt a little weird.
What to do next?
Bai Song was a little hesitant.
He was wondering about Hou Junji's experience. Could he be in trouble and need help?
But in this vast grassland, we may encounter a larger pack of wolves at any time, so how can we find them?
The other leader in the team didn't have so many worries. His idea was still very simple. Send Bai Song to the general's army first. Nothing was as important as their mission.
This time, Bai Song chose to listen to Qin Bei's opinion.
On the third day, after a day of traveling, Bai Song finally met Li Jing's army at a place called Lukou Mountain.
Lukou Mountain is a low mountain range with a small area, but its appearance in the grassland landscape breaks the characteristics of the landform and looks very strange. It is like an abrupt protrusion in a lush green sea, cutting the grassland into two
piece.
To the east of Lukou Mountain is the area controlled by the Tuyuhun Khanate.
It is also a vast land that cannot be penetrated by the Tang Dynasty regime.
Li Jing garrisoned 80,000 troops in Lukou Mountain, and built numerous sentry towers and small camps at the top and bottom of the mountain.
The Chinese army promised to enter the mountain pass at Lukou Mountain and build with its back, so that the situation in the army would not be easily seen.
The person who greeted the Bai Song team was Li Miao, his uncle, who was dressed in military uniform, carrying a spear on his back, and followed by a group of adjutants, looking majestic.
Li Miao was still kind and shouted to Bai Song from a distance: "Brother-in-law, you are here!"
Bai Song turned around and told everyone to dismount, and a group of people led their horses into the army.
"Brother, please help me settle my people down."
Li Miao immediately called his men to make arrangements for Bai Song and his people to live in one place.
Qin Bei took the opportunity to step forward and say goodbye to Bai Song. They had other tasks and needed to go deep behind enemy lines alone.
Bai Song didn't say much, just told them to take care of themselves, and added one more thing by the way: "No matter what time, life always comes first. If life is gone, everything is gone. Sometimes don't be too stubborn.
"
Qin Bei understood what Bai Song meant. After just a few days together, everyone had some feelings for each other. They looked at each other and turned around to leave.
Bai Song was accompanied by Li Miao, and the two of them had no time to chat. Li Jing was anxious to see Bai Song, and Bai Song also had something to report.
Under the Chinese army tent, Li Jing was discussing something with the generals.
Before Bai Song went in, he asked Li Miao: "Has Hou Jun's team waiting for the general arrived?"
Li Miao shook his head.
Bai Song's heart sank, and he thought that something had indeed happened.
Bai Song did not like Hou Junji, and his life and death had nothing to do with him.
But this matter is not related to Hou Junji alone, but to an army, and to the trend of the entire war situation.
Bai Song didn't say much. When the adjutant inside asked him to come in, Bai Song went directly into the tent.
There were many generals in the tent, and Li Jing was standing in command, nodding towards Bai Song.
A quick glance revealed that the only person he knew was Cheng Yaojin. Everyone else looked at Bai Song curiously.
The only Beijing officials present were Li Jing and Cheng Yaojin, and the others were generals who had been with the army all year round.
They knew very little about the Bai Song Dynasty.
The only confirmed information is that the military advisor appointed by the general is the prince's young master and the princess' consort.
These were the closest ministers around the emperor and the ones the court focused on cultivating.
Such a person, placed in Chang'an City, would naturally be sought after by countless people.
But inside the military camp, such a personality is not pleasing to the eye.
In their view, when someone with such an identity comes to the frontline military camp, he is nothing more than a gilded figure arranged by the emperor. He will follow the army and gain political capital in the future. To put it bluntly, he is just a bastard and a vase.
Generals who are accustomed to fighting on the battlefield look down upon this kind of people the most.
The general learned that a military advisor sent by the imperial court would arrive today, so the discussion this morning was postponed again and again. The general wanted to wait until the "strategist" arrived before starting the discussion.
Li Jing's actions undoubtedly brought a lot of trouble to Bai Song.
The people from the Bai Song Dynasty had not yet arrived, but they had already left a very bad impression on the military center.
Bai Song already felt that the atmosphere was a bit solemn. He looked at the eyes around him and frowned slightly.
Li Jing came over, stood in the center of the military tent, pointed at Bai Song and said: "Everyone should know that this is the military advisor specially transferred from Beijing by this general. He is Mr. Bai Song, the prince's young master. Everyone has seen it."
Let’s see each other as a gift.”
The generals stood up one by one, raised their hands in a symbolic gesture, and occasionally greeted each other.
But it can also be seen that everyone is unwilling, sparse and listless.
Only Cheng Yaojin was very enthusiastic and pulled Bai Song to sit next to him.
The generals looked at it strangely and thought to themselves, how could General Cheng have learned to please the powerful people in the capital?
Bai Song had something on his mind, so he stood up and said that he encountered a pack of wolves on the way and that General Hou's team might be attacked.
Li Jing asked Bai Song'an to do it. There was a more urgent military situation now. No matter what happened, we had to wait until later.
It turned out that intelligence came back from the front that Tuyuhun King Murong Fuyun had officially declared war on the Tang Dynasty and had officially assembled an army of 40,000 to march towards Lukou Mountain. As early as three days or as late as seven days, the Tuyuhun Khanate army would clash head-on with the army.
.
The situation is very urgent now. Troops must be mobilized immediately and everyone must be ready.
Li Jing was discussing matters in front of the tent, and only Bai Song was allowed to listen.
Li Jing himself had already made arrangements for the necessary responses, so the discussion was very smooth. Li Jing kept talking in front of the tent and issued military orders continuously.
Bai Song did not express his opinion, and Li Jing did not give him any time to speak.
Seeing that the discussion was about to end, someone suddenly interrupted Li Jing.
"General, since the imperial court has sent a military advisor, why don't you let the military advisor say a few more words?"
The provocation in his words was obvious, and Li Jing was a little dissatisfied and frowned slightly.
