Vidya said in surprise: "Big boss, do you have any good ideas?"
Xue Shixiong waved his hand and said: "Don't Liu Ziqiu like women? Then give him the most beautiful woman!"
Liu Ziqiu was indeed showing off his force, but others had the capital to show off their force. Xue Shixiong knew very well that if he continued to allow his subordinates to plunder the Sui border, Liu Ziqiu would definitely suffer crazy revenge. Qi Lifa's end was right in front of him, and he could
He didn't want to make the same mistake again. However, Yantuomun's words had to attract his attention. The life of the herdsmen in the tribe was already very difficult. If the source of salt, iron and cloth was cut off, not many people would be willing to listen to what he, the leader, said.
.
However, this is not the first time that Xue Shixiong has dealt with officials of the Sui Dynasty. Each of these people has their own weaknesses. As long as they understand the weaknesses of these people, these people will naturally turn a blind eye, and maybe even secretly sell some salt and iron.
Giving them cloth is much better than robbing them. If they are too hard, give them soft ones. Since Liu Ziqiu is lustful, then let him do what he likes. No matter what the price is, in short, it is a good way to get salt and iron cloth.
Videa smiled bitterly and said: "There is no woman in our tribe who can compare to Muduoli."
Xue Shixiong frowned and was silent for a long time, then suddenly said: "Our tribe may not have it, but there is in the west!"
To the west is Daman's territory. Daman is the Chuluo Khan of the Western Turks, and the Tiele Ten Tribes are just ten tribes under Daman's rule. Of course, the Tiele Ten Tribes are no longer submissive to Daman's rule.
The woman Xue Shixiong mentioned is Daman's sister Ashina Huihui, who is known as a pearl on the Western Turkic grasslands. Her beauty is definitely not inferior to that of Mu Duoli. Mu Duoli is already the mother of two children.
And Huihui is just a young and beautiful girl. It is said that Han people particularly care about a woman's first time, so it is self-evident who is more attractive to Liu Ziqiu, Huihui or Mu Duoli.
Yantuomun grinned: "Brother, then I will lead the troops to the Yazhang and capture Huihui! I just got an advantage over that Han dog officer!"
"Nonsense! Do you think Ya Zhang is so easy to get into?"
Mingzhu, what would he think?"
Videa's eyes also lit up, and he nodded and said: "The big boss's move to divert the trouble to the west is really good! It's best if they can cause both sides to lose!"
Xue Shixiong laughed and said: "We have to send someone to light a fire with Daman first. Don't let the two of them unite, it will be self-defeating."
While he was talking, a soldier suddenly came to report: "Gentlemen, the Han army is only ten miles away from here!"
Xue Shixiong waved his hand and sneered: "Liu Ziqiu is confident and walks leisurely. Is he really not afraid of a sneak attack?"
In fact, Liu Ziqiu didn't want to walk so slowly. But in addition to women and children, there were also a large number of cattle and sheep, so he couldn't move faster even if he wanted to. After all, the current situation was equivalent to a large tribe migrating long distances, and the speed was naturally incomparable with marching.
The biggest disadvantage of this situation is that the whereabouts cannot be concealed, and if encountering a powerful opponent, it is easy to be attacked. Xue Shixiong had thought about this idea just now, but gave up soon.
Yes, he could indeed use the terrain and night as cover to sneak attack Liu Ziqiu's migrating army or their campsite at night. But Xue Shixiong understood that it would be difficult to completely annihilate his opponent when fighting on the grassland. Liu Ziqiu could completely abandon these trophies and retreat.
.When he recovers and comes back, he will deal a tenfold or a hundredfold blow to Xue Yantuo's tribe. But Xue Shixiong doesn't know that after these few days of migration, these women and children have completely integrated into Liu Ziqiu's team. Liu Ziqiu has regarded them as
Treat them as their own people, not as trophies. With Liu Ziqiu's character, it is impossible to leave these women and children and retreat.
After listening to Xue Shixiong's words, Yan Tuomun was eager to try: "Brother, there is a slope over there. I will take people to ambush there!"
The Xueyantuo tribe is composed of two surnames: Xue and Yantuo. The leader surnamed Xue serves as the chief leader, and the leader Yantuo serves as the second leader. After Yantuo Agan died, Yantuo Mu'en naturally replaced his brother as the second leader. However, Yantuo's leader
Tuomun always thinks of resorting to force not because he is eager to avenge his brother, but because he wants to express himself. In this world where the strong is respected, only by showing enough strength can he convince the public and secure his position.
The position of the second leader.
Xue Shixiong said angrily: "You know how to fight and kill! Go back to the camp and appease everyone, and I will go and greet Liu Ziqiu."
When she saw Liu Ziqiu, Liu Ziqiu was riding a horse alone. Just now, when Liu Ziqiu rode his horse forward and scolded the six surviving Xue Yantuo warriors, Mu Duoli was worried that someone would suddenly launch a cold arrow, because she herself had been a serial killer.
Five Arrows plotted against Liu Ziqiu, and as soon as the six warriors escaped, Mu Duoli immediately threw herself into Liu Ziqiu's arms. She could no longer adapt to the life without Liu Ziqiu, and refused to leave for a long time. Liu Ziqiu had to ride on the same horse with her. It happened that
At this time, Videa came to inquire about the news and thought that Liu Ziqiu was a lustful person. Of course, Liu Ziqiu never denied that he was lustful. Food, sex, etc. This is what a great sage said. But Liu Ziqiu is definitely not a lustful person.
No matter what happens to a perverted person, it is impossible for him to be without a woman even on the road of marching and fighting.
Seeing Xue Shixiong, Liu Ziqiu said coldly: "How is it? You can't block the road!"
Xue Shixiong could speak Chinese and had learned some Han Chinese etiquette. He hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Master Liu is aware that the common people are here to welcome you to the camp for a rest."
While talking, Xue Shixiong looked at Liu Ziqiu's team. As expected, the troops and horses were strong and powerful, and he couldn't help but feel a little afraid.
Having met Vidya just now, Liu Ziqiu already knew that the three thousand troops he annihilated were from the Xue Yantuo tribe, and also knew that it was this tribe that defeated Feng Xiaoci last winter. But that was in the past and had nothing to do with him.
He wasn't here to avenge Feng Xiaoci. Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "No courtesy, Mr. Xue. Liu is on his way. Please come back to bother me someday."
Xue Shixiong jumped off his horse, took off his scimitar, threw it to his servant, and then said: "Please rest assured, my lord, the common people do not mean any harm."
Liu Ziqiu sneered: "Then what happened just now!"
Xue Shixiong felt a pain in his heart. Three thousand of his young men were wiped out by you like this. You still ask me what happened? It’s just that people are under the low eaves and have to lower their heads. Xue Shixiong bowed and said: "Return to your lord
, it’s all a misunderstanding. The common people have prepared some gifts among the tribe to apologize to you!”
Liu Ziqiu raised his horsewhip and said: "If you apologize, you will be forgiven. As long as you keep yourselves in the future, Liu will not make things difficult for you. After we pass, you can arrange for a few people to bury your people."
Xue Shixiong knew that although he repeatedly stated that it was a misunderstanding, after all, three thousand people in the tribe died, and this feud was not a small one. If it were him, he would not risk entering the other party's territory. Therefore, Xue Shixiong
Being prepared, he hurriedly said: "Sir, please wait a moment, the gift will be delivered soon."
Liu Ziqiu frowned, and was about to scold him to get out of the way, when he saw dust flying in front of him, and hundreds of horses galloping towards him, and the one in front was Videa.
When Videa arrived, he got off his horse, raised his hands and said, "Sir, please take a look."
Behind Vidya, there are dozens of pretty Xueyantuo women sitting on horses. These women include young girls and enchanting young women. Everyone is wearing narrow-sleeved short coats, holding bows and arrows, riding on horses, looking heroic.
, but it has a different flavor. Liu Ziqiu was stunned and said, "What is this?"
Xue Shixiong clasped his fists and said, "Sir, these are the best women in the Cao Min tribe. Please accept them!"
Originally, Xue Shixiong wanted to pick 20 girls to give to Liu Ziqiu, but after thinking about it, Liu Ziqiu liked Mu Duoli, who had given birth to two children, and maybe she had any special hobbies, so he let Videa choose them.
Twenty young women. It was pity that these young women had husbands and children, but they did not dare to disobey the orders of the big boss, so they had no choice but to pack up and abandon their husbands and children.
Of course Liu Ziqiu didn't know that just because he and Mu Duoli were riding on the same horse, Xue Shixiong had so many thoughts. Moreover, Liu Ziqiu knew that after Xue Yantuo's tribe invaded the Sui Dynasty last year, he surrendered in fear of disaster and did not even send a gift to the court.
Court officials, now that they have a lot of chances to escape, how can they give gifts for no reason? Seeing Xue Shixiong being so attentive, Liu Ziqiu nodded thoughtfully and said, "If there is anything else Chief Xue has to do, just say it clearly!"
Xue Shixiong was secretly happy, but said calmly on his face: "Master Liu, how can the common people dare to do anything? The common people made a special trip to apologize to you."
Liu Ziqiu shook his head: "If you refuse to say it, then Liu will say goodbye!"
Xue Shixiong said hurriedly: "Sir, wait a minute! The common people only ask you to give me some peace in border trade."
Liu Ziqiu had stayed in the West Sea for nearly a year, so he naturally knew what the nomadic tribes lacked. He pretended to be thoughtful and said: "Border trade requires the permission of the imperial court. Although the Sui Dynasty is in turmoil today, as an important minister guarding the border, how dare Liu
Private and private? But..."
Hearing Liu Ziqiu say the word "but", Xue Shixiong felt energetic and said quickly: "Don't worry, sir, ordinary people know the rules."
Robbery and border trade are two important means for nomadic tribes to obtain daily necessities such as salt, iron, cloth, etc. Without the border guards turning a blind eye, border trade would be difficult to complete smoothly. In the past, Xue Yantuo's tribe also often paid tribute to the Dunhuang guards.
I gave them some small gifts just to make it easier for them to go there. But in the past, Xue Shixiong only had access to some low-level generals. Now that he met Liu Ziqiu, he naturally would not let go of this opportunity to curry favor.
Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said: "Liu here only has the rules of the court and no other rules. However, if Lifa acts against heaven, Liu will transfer the quota allocated to them to you!"
