Chapter 1024 White Horse League on the Black Beach
The black sand beach is indeed as Coton said, the gravel on the lakeside is dark black.
Every water source on the grassland is very precious. The black beach belongs to Hegu. There were originally two clans living around the black beach. However, after Tuya Tutun evacuated from the Iron Palace, their camp was near the black beach. The two clans
Pack up and move away immediately to avoid being poisoned.
Luoting Kedun proposed to meet at the black beach. Wuqingtage agreed to Kedun's proposal and even ordered Tuya Tutun to withdraw to the south of the black beach and join the main force of the Zhenyu Army.
When He Gu's army withdrew from Luozhi Mountain, although Zhen Yu's army followed closely behind, they did not pursue it.
The main cavalry led by He Lotai to attack Luozhi Mountain originally camped at Black Beach. After receiving Ketun's order, they immediately broke camp and headed west, while Zhen Yu's army camped less than forty miles south of Black Beach.
The lake has long been frozen, and when viewed from a distance, it looks like a mirror on the earth.
It was noon, and Ke Dun was riding on a white horse, but she was wearing a battle robe, with a gauze hanging from her nose. The black gauze covered her mouth and nose, revealing only a pair of foxy eyes. She was wearing a big cloak, showing her mature and plump figure.
Her figure is wrapped up in her body, but even if you don't look at her eyes, she is still full of heroic spirit.
Next to Ke Dun, in addition to Qin Xiao who was accompanying him, was Mang Dele, the captain of the Bone Breakers. Behind him, he only brought two hundred Bone Breakers.
Prairie people regard horses as their lives, and the white horse is a symbol of peace in the hearts of prairie people.
Ke Dun rides a pure white horse today, which is a gesture of goodwill to the people of Zhenyu.
A war is imminent, and today's negotiation is about whether the two departments can join forces to fight the enemy.
Although the two sides are still at odds, under the current situation, it would be beneficial for both parties to conclude an alliance, but the two sides have too deep grudges and do not trust each other. If many things cannot be explained clearly, there is no guarantee that something will not happen. Yu Qi said that today's negotiations are
In order to form an alliance, it is better to give both parties trust through contact.
"Ketun, they are coming!" Mangdler said.
Qin Xiao's eyesight was much better than that of Mang Dele. He naturally saw that a group of soldiers and horses were galloping towards us in the distance. The number of people was not large, but there were more than a hundred people.
The big cloak was fluttering in the wind during the Mercedes-Benz, and he looked heroic. Although he couldn't see clearly from a distance, the outline of his body made Qin Xiao recognize it as Wu Qingtage at a glance.
Tag's mount turned out to be a pure white horse.
A smile appeared on Qin Xiao's lips, Wu Qingtage did not disappoint him.
Tag came galloping with a hundred horses, and he had already reined in his horse ten steps away. Tag and everyone's eyes first turned to Qin Xiao, who was behind Ke Dun.
Everyone got the news that in order to facilitate negotiations between the two departments, Qin Xiao was willing to stay in He Gu as a hostage.
In Tag's heart, he naturally felt that Qin Xiao was doing all this for himself. He was moved in his heart and looked at Qin Xiao with eyes full of concern. Seeing that Qin Xiao was safe and sound, he felt relieved and moved his eyes to Kedun and the two Modongs.
The most powerful women in the grassland looked at each other and looked at each other.
Luutan Kedun was once the most beautiful woman in Modong, but now this title has been inherited by Wu Qingtage.
Although the two of them have heard each other's name for a long time, they have never met.
Luan Ting Ke Dun looked at Tag, and Tag also looked at Ke Dun from top to bottom.
"It is said that Wu Qingtage is the most beautiful woman in Modong. After seeing you today, you are indeed worthy of the name." Ke Dun took the lead and said with a smile: "You are even more beautiful than I thought."
Tag also said loudly: "Kedun's reputation for beauty has long been spread in Modong. I am very happy to see you today."
Ke Dun glanced at Qin Xiao next to him intentionally or unintentionally, and whispered: "No wonder you are willing to help Zhen Yu. She is indeed a rare beauty on the grassland."
Qin Xiao was a little embarrassed, but Tage already said: "Ke Dun asked me to meet here, and I came as promised."
"Tage is wrong." Ke Dun said in a soft voice: "I invited the leader of the True Feather Tribe. Today's matter can only be discussed with the Great Khan of the True Feather Tribe. The Khan King of the He Gu Tribe is underage, so I will assist him.
I can decide the affairs of He Gu, but can Tagg decide the affairs of Zhen Yu?"
A person behind Tagg loudly said: "The True Feather Tribe has already embraced Tagg as True Feather Khan. Although the ceremony has not yet been held, Tagg can decide all affairs of the tribe."
Qin Xiao's eyes showed joy.
It seems that under such a severe situation, the leaders of the Zhenyu tribe did not hesitate anymore and jointly supported Wu Qingtage as the Khan of the Zhenyu tribe. This is of course great news for Qin Xiao.
Although he and Tagg had not known each other for a long time, and had not even spent much time together, they had experienced life and death together, and their friendship was naturally deep.
Qin Xiao's main purpose of coming to the prairie this time was to obtain horses from the Zhenyu tribe. Previously, the Zhenyu tribe was afraid of Tiehan and did not dare to trade war horses with the Tang Dynasty. Now the Xile and Tusun people are torn apart.
After this battle, the ban on horses will naturally be a piece of paper. Naturally, the Zhenyu tribe will no longer be able to comply with Tie Han's ban. The Zhenyu tribe will inevitably start the war horse trade.
Wu Qingtage has now officially become the female khan of the Zhenyu tribe. Given the relationship between the two, it is natural that Long Ruijun will be given priority in the future war horse trade.
Ke Dun said no more, shook the horse's reins, and the white horse moved forward slowly, and Tag also urged the horse forward. The two white horses slowly faced each other, and they did not stop until the horses' heads were close.
Mangdler said in a deep voice: "Set up a tent!"
Four riders immediately rushed out from behind. As they ran, two riders unrolled a black cloth. Four riders rushed out from behind Tagg. The same two riders unrolled the black cloth. Eight riders arrived.
Near Dekotun and Tagg, it was quickly surrounded on all sides and covered with black cloth on all sides, turning it into an extremely simple curtain.
Qin Xiao knew in his heart that this was the grassland people's way of negotiating. Behind the curtain, the leaders of the two tribes were alone together. No one else could get close to what they were talking about. Naturally, they couldn't know for a while.
Mangdler raised his hand again and said: "Dismount!"
The Bonebreakers immediately dismounted. Qin Xiao knew that the prairie cavalry cherished their mounts and would dismount when they were resting so that their horses could rest. However, this also showed that this negotiation could not be completed in a short time.
.
He also got off the lion's body, looked at the curtain between the two formations, and sighed in his heart that these two women, who both have the title of the most beautiful woman in Modong, can actually influence the fate of Modong grassland.
Time passed, but the curtain never moved away. Suddenly, the sound of horse hoofbeats was heard from behind. Qin Xiao turned around and looked over, only to see two flying horses approaching. When he got close, he turned over and dismounted, and arrived in front of Mang Dele.
Crossing his arms across his chest, Mangdler frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Captain, urgent military report." The visitor said respectfully: "It has been confirmed that Qili's army is less than a hundred miles away from the Galang River. With their marching speed, they will arrive tonight."
Mang Dele changed his color slightly, and Qin Xiao also frowned.
It was previously estimated that Chili's troops would arrive in three days, but now only two days have passed, and the enemy will arrive tonight. It seems that Chili is eager to achieve success and has accelerated his march.
Mangdler nodded and said, "I understand."
The two of them retreated. Mang Dele looked towards the other side of the curtain, showing an anxious look. Qin Xiao saw this and said softly: "Don't worry, Ke Dun has already made arrangements. Now we are negotiating with Zhen Yu."
, also to resist the enemy, we wait patiently."
Mang Dele nodded slightly and didn't say much.
After another half an hour, he finally saw the cavalry from both sides withdrawing the curtains at the same time and returning. Qin Xiao was relieved. He saw that Ke Dun and Tag were still riding white horses, standing opposite each other, and saw Tag raised his head.
He made a gesture with his arm, and soon a horse slowly walked out from the team behind.
Ke Dun also raised his arms, and Mang Dele said to Qin Xiao: "Ke Dun lets you pass."
Qin Xiao reacted, got on his horse, and urged his horse over. As he approached, he saw that the rider coming from the opposite side was He Guhan.
He Guhan didn't talk nonsense. When he passed by Ke Dun, he nodded to Ke Dun and went back to the formation without stopping.
"Tage!" Qin Xiao approached, smiled at Wu Qing Tage, then looked at Ke Dun, wanting to ask, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say much.
"You are staying as a hostage from Zhen Yube." Ke Dun looked at Qin Xiao and said, "Now that the negotiation is over, you can choose to leave with her."
Qin Xiao was startled and thought of the three conditions that Ke Dun had put forward. In addition to the withdrawal of Zhen Yu's army from the Iron Palace and meeting and negotiating with Zhen Yu Tage, there was also another condition that he had to help her cure her cold illness.
The first two conditions have naturally been met, but the third condition has not yet begun.
Has Don forgotten?
"Thank you for your hard work." Wu Qingtage looked at Qin Xiao with her big beautiful eyes. After all, Ke Dun was right next to her. She didn't want to say anything more. She just said: "Let's go back."
Qin Xiao didn't know what the discussion between the two was like. Hearing that Tag asked him to go back with her, he couldn't help but look at Ke Dun. Seeing Ke Dun staring at her with his charming eyes, he hesitated for a moment. Tag was already preparing to take the bag.
The horse-turning leader led Qin Xiao back to the formation, but when he saw that Qin Xiao didn't move, he frowned and said, "What's wrong?"
"Tage, I can't leave with you yet." Qin Xiao said.
Tag was startled and looked very surprised: "She and I have finished talking. You are no longer a hostage."
"Tage, from the very beginning, Ketun never took me as a hostage." Qin Xiao sighed: "I still have a promise to her, and I can't go with you now."
He promised to help Ke Dun cure her illness. Although he really couldn't help her get rid of the poison of Qianye Manluo, the blood pills were obviously more effective than the decoction Ke Dun was currently taking. Since he agreed to Ke Dun, he would always
Still need help.
But Ke Dun suffered from cold illness and not many people knew about it. Qin Xiao knew it and it was inconvenient to tell Tag.
Wu Qingtage was naturally surprised when he heard that Qin Xiao had made a promise to Ke Dun. He glanced at Ke Dun and saw Ke Dun looking at Qin Xiao tenderly with his charming eyes. He suddenly seemed to understand something and sneered, biting his teeth.
He pursed his lips and said, "Yes, I almost forgot who you are." Regardless of Qin Xiao, he turned around and patted the horse away without even looking back.
