Ye Heju looked at the black-armored general coldly and said calmly: "Do you have a warrant for this?"
The black-armored general did not hesitate, took out a parchment roll from his arms and threw it to Ye Heju. Although he called Ye Heju a master, he did not feel inferior at all.
Ye Heju took the sheepskin scroll, opened it, glanced at it twice, and then said: "Tie Muhe, do you know that Yuwen Chengchao was suspected of murdering King Khan?"
"Ke Dun has an order, and his subordinates will lead the wolf guards to escort them to Kunlun Pass." Heijia General said: "Master Ye Hu should have seen it very clearly. The order is very clear. No matter who blocks the escort during the escort, they will be
Can be beheaded."
Ye Heju snorted coldly: "If I want to prevent them from returning to Xiling, will you also fight against me?"
"Everyone means that, including Lord Ye Hu." Black-armored general Tie Muhe said expressionlessly.
Ye Heju gave a strange laugh: "Tiemuhe, they say that three generations of your family have been loyal and led the wolf guards to protect King Khan. Now you know that these people are the real murderers of King Khan, and you want to let them go. Khan
The king has a spirit in heaven, and he must be very disappointed in you."
Tiemuhe glanced towards the mountain and said: "Master Ye Hu, Ke Dun also has instructions. If your subordinates see you, please leave and return to White Wolf City. Ke Dun has something to discuss with you, and I have already brought him.
"
"Temukha, if I say that I want to arrest Yuwen Chengchao and go to see Tian Khan, will you also stop me?" Ye Heju stared at Temühe's eyes: "King Khan was killed, and I can't just watch the real murderer escape.
, they must be arrested and brought to see Tian Khan, who will make a decision. If you stop them, don’t blame me for being ruthless."
Tie Muhe did not speak, but looked at Ye Heju expressionlessly.
Ye Heju obviously knew Temukha's temperament. The other party didn't say anything, so he naturally insisted on his own opinion. He sighed and said: "Temucha, don't you want to avenge your brother?"
The corners of Tiemuhe's eyes finally jumped.
Ye Heju observed the words and sighed deliberately: "The previous Khan led eight warriors into the pass sixteen years ago and was invincible. Your brother is the personal warrior beside the Khan. The Tang army attacked the Khan's tent on a snowy night. Your brother
In order to protect the Khan, my brother died at a young age at the hands of the insidious and cunning Tang Dynasty." He shook his head and said, "If he is still alive, he must be a first-rate warrior of our Wutuo. Alas..., Tie
Muhe, if you don’t take revenge, how can you explain to your ancestors?”
Tiemuhe said: "Of course I will not forget my brother's hatred."
"That's good." Ye Heju's face showed joy and he pointed to the mountain and said: "There are Tang people there, all your enemies. Today we will go up together and capture Yuwen Chengchao alive, and then take him away
If you go to see the Khan of Heaven, the Khan of Heaven will definitely be happy."
"Have you always obeyed the orders of Tian Khan?" Temukha stared at Ye Heju's eyes, urged his horse to slowly approach Ye Heju, his eyes were like daggers, he stared at Ye Heju and whispered: "You are a beggar.
Are you involved in this matter?"
Ye Heju's face changed slightly and he immediately said: "Of course not."
"Then you know his purpose, but you deliberately pretend not to know." Tiemuhe said: "You know that King Khan is in danger, but you turn a blind eye?"
At this moment, many of the Wutuo soldiers who had climbed to the mountainside had already stopped. They did not continue to climb up, nor did they retreat. They were just waiting for Ye Heju to issue an order whether to continue to attack.
Yuwen Chengchao on the top of the mountain was condescending, so he naturally saw what Tiemuhe and Ye Heju were talking about, but he couldn't hear the content clearly.
"Young Master, the man in black armor just said that he would escort us back to Xiling." Shopkeeper Tian also approached Yu Wen Chengchao at this time and said cautiously: "Is what he said true or false? Is he lying to us?"
Yuwen Chengchao didn't reply, he just stared at the black-armored general.
Suddenly he saw Ye Heju raising his arm and the saber in his hand was already placed on the neck of the black-armored general. Shopkeeper Tian changed his color, but when he saw the wolf guard brought by the black-armored general, many people rushed forward.
Go, but the black-armored general raised his hand, and the wolf guard did not dare to step forward.
"Eldest Young Master, it seems that something big is going to happen to the White Wolf tribe." Qin Xiao glanced at Yu Wenchengchao: "They are at odds with each other and have different interests. I'm afraid Ke Dun won't be able to control the situation."
Yuwen Chengchao looked up at the darkened sky and said: "The White Wolf King died too suddenly and did not arrange the subsequent events. It seems that Ke Dun is really unable to control the White Wolf Department. Once Ke Dun's power is suppressed,
, Brother Narusheng’s influence on the White Wolf Tribe will increase rapidly, and within two years, or at the latest three years, there will be a disaster in Xiling."
Shopkeeper Tian's eyes twitched, and he felt weak in his heart, but he still said: "If they really want to attack Xiling, the Tang army in the pass will definitely send troops to rescue them, so we are not afraid of them."
Yuwen Chengchao didn't say anything and didn't comment.
He knew very well in his heart that in the battle sixteen years ago, although the Wutuo people finally withdrew their troops, they did not withdraw because of lack of strength. They only withdrew from Kunlun Pass when General Black Feather captured Khan alive.
In that battle, Xiling was devastated, and the Western Region Guards who guarded Xiling also suffered heavy losses. However, the Wutuo people not only did not suffer heavy losses, but instead plundered a large amount of property from Xiling, and the losses of soldiers and horses were not great.
In the past sixteen years, although the Wutuo people no longer had any influence on Xiling, they expanded westward and coerced and lured the countries in the Western Regions to surrender under the feet of the Wutuo people. The strength of the Wutuo Khanate today has increased compared to that of the past.
However, after the saint ascended the throne, the empire first encountered local forces led by Murong from southern Xinjiang who opposed the saint's ascension to the throne. In order to quell the chaos, the empire suffered heavy losses. Later, it experienced the Wutuo Rebellion and the Tusun people from the north moved south in large numbers. Although in the end
All enemy forces were repulsed, but their vitality was severely damaged. Even the Xiling Corridor, which had always been under the control of the empire, only had nominal dominance.
If the Wutuo Iron Cavalry really made a comeback, and invaded with a massive army like they did sixteen years ago, it would be hard for Yuwen Chengchao to believe that the empire really had the strength to go to Xiling and fight to the death with the Wutuo Iron Cavalry.
With the lessons learned from the past, the Wutuo people will naturally not be able to make the same mistakes they made back then.
One hundred thousand cavalry entered the pass. Even if the Tang army left the pass to meet the enemy, there was no way this war would be resolved quickly. The showdown between two powerful countries could last for several years or even ten years. The Tang Dynasty really had the strength to support this battle.
A battle and even a final victory?
Yuwen Chengchao has always been deeply suspicious of this.
"Eh." Yu Wen Chengchao was thoughtful when he heard Shopkeeper Tian's voice next to him: "Young Master, they have withdrawn!"
I don’t know what Tiemuhe and Ye Heju said. Ye Heju finally put away his sword and ordered the soldiers attacking the mountain to withdraw.
The people on the mountain were very happy when they saw the Wutuo soldiers withdrawing.
Ye Heju gathered his troops and horses without any delay, and led his cavalry to retreat quickly. Tiemuhe ordered his wolf guards to dismount, and he himself reached the foot of the mountain alone, dismounted, and looked up at the top of the mountain.
, crossed his arms across his chest, and saluted: "Master Yuwen, I am Tiemuhe, and I am here to escort you back to Xiling under the orders of Kedun."
Fat Fish and others had also arrived at Yu Wen Chengchao's side at this time. Ning Zhifeng whispered: "Young Master, be careful of fraud."
Yuwen Chengchao said: "The enemy is strong and we are weak, so we have no choice."
Temmuhe came up the mountain without any soldiers. Yuwen Chengchao stepped forward and cupped his hands. Temuchhe saluted and said: "Begging for good deeds, assassinating the king of Khan, usurping the throne of the Khan, is an unforgivable evil. The king of Khan is in a desperate situation, if it weren't for you
For help, begging Fushan has succeeded, and Tiemuhe has already become a dead man."
Yuwen Chengchao knew that Tie Muhe should be the White Wolf King's confidant, and Qifushan usurped the Khan King, so he would definitely eradicate the White Wolf King's right-hand man.
Tiemuhe was able to escape death probably because the White Wolf King rushed back to White Wolf City in time. At this time, he could afford to bow and thank him.
"I dare not say thank you." Yu Wencheng said, "Ke Dun asked you to escort us back to Xiling. I am really flattered."
Tiemuhe solemnly said: "After you left, Ke Dun learned that Ye Heju had mobilized troops and knew that he might be detrimental to you, so he quickly ordered me to lead the wolf guards to come for support. Ke Dun asked me to bring a message to
My eldest son, she will try her best to act in accordance with the decrees of King Khan during his lifetime, and after the prince succeeds to the throne, she will persuade King Khan to continue to trade with you and live in harmony with you."
Yu Wencheng said: "This is exactly what I and the entire Tang Dynasty want."
Ye Heju withdrew his troops and Tiemuhe escorted them. Everyone went down the mountain and packed up their vehicles. Before going down the mountain, some people were worried that Tiemuhe might have some tricks, but everything went smoothly.
The team continued to march eastward through the night.
For more than one day on the way, the caravan was in front, and Temmuhe led the cavalry to protect the rear. With the protection of this cavalry, the journey was naturally smooth.
On this day, when they arrived at the Kunlun Pass, which was only a few dozen miles away, Tiemuhe finally ordered the cavalry to stop moving forward.
"A few dozen miles ahead is the Kunlun Pass." Tiemuhe raised his hand and pointed forward: "After entering the pass, you will be safe. We can only escort you here."
Yuwen Chengchao cupped his hands and said: "If the general has the opportunity to come to Xiling in the future, he must entertain the general with the best wine and thank the general for his protection."
Tiemuhe shook his head and said: "When I go to Xiling, I will never be a guest. Young Master, my brother was killed by you Tang people. I personally have a deep hatred for you. I also hope that one day I can take down the head of your black feather general."
Level, so if my war horses set foot on your land in the future, they will definitely meet in battle. You and I will never be friends, and we will always be enemies in this life."
Yuwen Chengchao, Qin Xiao and others were all stunned.
"So you'd better pray that my horses don't cross the Kunlun Pass." Temukha looked sternly and looked to the east: "The next time I appear here again, there will no longer be hundreds of cavalry behind me.
, but thousands of Wutuo warriors, at that time you will either die under my saber, or you will use your sword to take off my head." He crossed his arms across his chest and gave a slight salute, which was not much.
He spoke, turned his horse's head around, and with the sound of shouts, he led his wolf guard to the west, and soon disappeared.
