Half an hour later, Princess Ye summoned her Han guards, a total of 1,000 people, the leader was the fierce-looking Ma Xiong, Princess Ye said to everyone: "From today on, Zhang Yun is your new leader, and Ma Xiong is the deputy." ”

Ma Xiong looked at Princess Ye with a glorious face, how could he not know what was going on, it made him crazy with jealousy, no Han person could touch Princess Ye, this bastard actually took the lead.

When Princess Ye announced that he was the deputy of this little white face, he couldn't hold back anymore and yelled, "I'm not convinced!" ”

Princess Ye's eyes suddenly narrowed, and she said coldly, "What are you going to do?" ”

Ma Xiong's face swelled into the color of pig liver, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I want to fight him with a sword, please ask the princess for approval!" ”

Princess Ye glanced at Zhang Yun and nodded, "Okay!" If you are defeated, you die. ”

"And what about his defeat?" Ma Xiong pointed at Zhang Yun.

"If he is defeated, be my clerk and give them the sword!"

The guards handed over the two swords, and at this time Ma Xiong calmed down, his eyes flashed like a beast, and he was determined to kill the other party and not give Princess Ye room to regret.

Zhang Yun flipped his wrist and threw out a sword flower, "Please!" ”

Ma Xiong roared, rushed forward like a whirlwind, and slashed with his sword.

Zhang Yun flashed, Ma Xiong split into the air, and before he could react, Zhang Yun backhanded, his body was as fast as a ghost, and the long sword was 'poof!' The ground pierced his back, and the tip of the sword peeked through his chest.

This is a backhand style taught to him by Guo Song, one of the killing skills in the sword, Zhang Yun has practiced hard for many years, and has mastered the elite of it.

Ma Xiong looked down at the tip of the sword in front of him, he looked back at Zhang Yun in fear, and as soon as Zhang Yun drew his sword, Ma Xiong fell down and was killed on the spot.

Zhang Yun wiped the blood stains on Ma Xiong's body, and said coldly: "If there are still those who are not convinced, just come up and send them to death!" ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Princess Ye's eyes, this man's momentum is extraordinary, he is definitely a useful material, and he has picked up a treasure by himself.

........

Guo Song's army marched all the way north, their initial goal was not to kill the Hui Jie, on the one hand, the Sijie headquarters was far away from Yunzhou, three thousand miles away, in addition, the direct attack on the Hui can also have the effect of encircling Wei and saving Zhao.

Zhang Yun has not yet heard news, but Guo Song has received information from Li An's subordinates, and the 50,000-strong army of Hui is led by the general Jie Gangas, and has participated in the Sijie dispute, and the current Sijie headquarters has been broken, the favorite youngest son of Sijie Khan has been killed, the whereabouts of the favorite concubine are unknown, and the Sijie headquarters is divided by the Quartet forces, but in order to compete for the position of the Khan, the Sijie departments have been killing endlessly.

This strengthened Guo Song's determination to attack Hui Su, and it could not be delayed any longer, and it was necessary to beat Hui Hui as soon as possible and force it to withdraw its troops.

In the afternoon of this day, the Jin army arrived at the southern pasture, which is the easternmost pasture of Sijie, which belongs to Mu Wence, the third son of Sijie Khan, and is also the first Sijie force to be defeated.

This pasture is currently occupied by the herdsmen of the Tongluo tribe, which was originally one of the independent Tiele tribes, and their power was slightly weaker, and they were annexed by the Hui and became one of the side branches of the Hui

The tribal leader Chiya was frightened by the 60,000 Central Plains army, he only had a few thousand herdsmen, and the organized army was only two or three thousand people, and the confrontation against the Central Plains army was also to hit the stone with eggs, of course, he could also choose to escape, but even if he escaped, the herdsmen of the tribe could not escape, so helpless, Chiya had to lead his brothers, wives and children to surrender to Guo Song.

The goal of Guo Song's northern expedition was to weaken or disintegrate the Hui Hui, and of course the main focus was on winning over the originally independent tribe like Tongluo.

Guo Song reassured the chieftain, Chiya, that he would not slaughter his people, would not plunder their property, and would help them regain their independence.

Chiya was secretly glad that he had not escaped, and the thought of being able to regain his independence and get rid of the enslavement of the Hui Hui made him overjoyed, and immediately generously offered Guo Song 20,000 sheep and 30,000 bags of milk wine.

That night, Guo Song ordered a bonfire to be lit, sheep to be killed, and wine to be treated.

There was one thing that Guo Song didn't expect, he actually met Liu Ting, a gold rush guide who went north with Zhang Yun to return to the United in Tongluobu.

After Liu Ting escaped from the Hui Ya tent, he rode all the way south, ready to return to Yunzhou, he escaped the attack of the wolves again with his rich experience, but the horses were gone, Liu Ting walked for seven days, endured all the hardships, and finally met the Tongluo Department, he immediately fainted, and was rescued by the herdsmen of the Tongluo Department.

The soldiers led him into the commander's tent, Liu Ting knelt down and kowtowed: "Xiaomin Liu Ting knocks on His Royal Highness the King of Jin!" ”

Guo Song gave his soldiers a look, and the soldiers helped him up, Guo Song asked, "Aren't you with Zhang Yun?" Where are they? ”

"Your Highness, they are trapped in the Hui Tooth Tent."

Guo Song frowned, "What's going on, you tell me from the beginning!" ”

Liu Ting told Guo Song in detail what happened to them, encountered wolves in Wushan, and encountered the Hui patrol sentry, was arrested and sent to the Hui Ya tent, and bribed the commander to get out.

"You're saying they'll be incorporated into a Han Chinese army?" Guo Song asked with interest.

"Exactly, Princess Ye has a guard composed of Han people, there are about a thousand people, and many gold diggers are also forced to join this team, so I know a little bit of the situation, as long as I can run through forty miles, I can be admitted, if I can't pass it, it's a dead end, I definitely can't get through, so I escaped first."

Forty miles of running is a piece of cake for Zhang Yun, they are the best scouts, they must have joined this Han guard, maybe Zhang Yun can become a small leader.

"Why did Princess Ye set up Han guards? What is her relationship with Khan? Guo Song asked again.

"This villain is not very clear, His Highness can ask Chiya, he should be more clear."

Guo Song nodded, "Is your body well?" ”

"There's no problem anymore."

"You go and rest, and then continue to be our guide and take us to Handuo Bali."

Guo Song asked his soldiers to take him down to rest, and sent someone to invite the chief of Chiya.

A short time later, the Red Fang chief hurried in.

Chief Chiya, who was about forty years old and could speak fluent Chinese, bowed and asked, "His Royal Highness the King of Jin has something to do with me?" ”

Guo Song invited him to sit down and said with a smile: "There are some things I want to ask the chief." ”

"As long as I know, I'll do my best to tell you."

The soldiers came in and served them milk tea, and Guo Song took a sip of milk tea and asked, "Does the chief know Princess Ye?" ”

Chief Chiya nodded, "No one in Hui knows her, she is the daughter of Mu Yu Khan, her maternal grandfather is the servant Gu Huai'en, her maternal grandmother is Han, Mu Yu Khan is extremely fond of her, and even gave her a dowry, it is a tribe similar to ours, she has married two cousins, two servant bone chiefs, three years ago the second husband died of illness, she was widowed back to Hui, her uncle Tianqin Khan took care of her very much, after the death of Tianqin Khan, she became a well-known real power figure in Hui. ”

"Why did she become a powerful figure in Hui?"

"The Loyal Khan was put on the throne by her, she killed the other two uncles who wanted to compete for the throne, it can be said that she had the merit of supporting, the Loyal Khan was very grateful to her, and after she took the throne, a lot of power was handed over to her."

"She's a woman with a lot of power?"

"It can be said that it is very strong, but this year the contradiction between her and the loyal khan is getting deeper and deeper, at the beginning of the year her chief guard was bribed by the loyal khan and betrayed her, she no longer believed in the Uighur guards, so she recruited a Han guard to protect her own safety."

Only then did Guo Song understand the reason why Princess Ye recruited Han guards, and he pondered for a moment and asked, "Why is she so deeply at odds with the Loyal Khan?" ”

Chief Chiya smiled and said: "The reason why Princess Ye wants to establish a loyal khan is because the loyal khan is addicted to wine, mediocre and incompetent, Princess Ye just wants to treat him as a puppet, but I didn't expect that the mediocrity and incompetence of the loyal khan is pretended, and indulging in wine is also intentional, after the loyal khan ascended the throne, he gradually took power, and wanted to do something big, naturally conflicted with Princess Ye's ambitions, so the contradiction between the two became more and more profound. Basically, the Loyal Khan won. ”

Guo Song took a few steps and asked, "Is there only one tribe left in the Tongluo tribe now, the Red Tooth Chieftain?" ”

Chief Chiya hurriedly shook his head, "There are a total of five tribes in Tongluobu, and we are just one of them. ”

Guo Song said slowly: "We defeat the Hui and regain independence with the Luo tribe, and I will support the Chiya chief as the Tongluo Khan." ”

Chief Chiya was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee, "Immortal Heaven is above, I swear by Chiya that I will fully support His Highness's Northern Expedition to return to the great cause!" ”

Guo Song nodded, "I'm going to send a letter to Princess Ye, and I plan to ask Liu Ting to deliver the letter for me, hoping that the chief can help send him to Princess Ye." ”
