Huaiyuan, formerly known as Drinking Sweat City (now Yinchuan City). Huaiyuan is a bright pearl in the upper reaches of the Yellow River. During the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Helian Bobo of the Xia State garrisoned here, rebuilt the pear orchard, and on the basis of the pear orchard, the Northern Zhou Dynasty set up Huaiyuan County to govern Huaiyuan County.

The snow disaster in the first year of Wude made Shibi Khan, who originally lived in Mobei, have to move the king's tent south. Now Shibi Khan has set up the royal tent in Huaiyuan City, north of Lingzhou. Although Huaiyuan is a county town (equivalent to a prefecture-level city in later generations), the scale of the city is not large because Huaiyuan is located in the mixed places of Qiang, Tubo, Tuguhun and Turkic Hu.

The army of the Shibi Khan's royal tent includes more than 30,000 guards and more than 30,000 guards, as well as more than 100,000 people and 200,000 horses. With so many people alone, not to mention a small Huaiyuan City, all the cities except for a few big cities such as Chang'an and Luoyang cannot be accommodated.

At this time, Huaiyuan City has become the palace of Shibi Khan, in addition to the attendants of the king's tent and 30,000 attached troops stationed, other tens of thousands of people who control the strings are distributed outside Huaiyuan City, building a small village, guarding Huaiyuan City.

In the late winter, when Shibi Khan woke up, he opened his eyes and saw the green light coming through the tent. The two warm bodies that tossed his bones so much that they were about to fall apart at night were as slippery as nephrite, pressing on his chest from left to right, sleeping soundly, and the slightly exposed shoulders were as white as snow.

Shibi Khan's hand touched the fat big ass of the woman on the left hand under the quilt, the woman squirmed in her sleep, the two big lumps of meat on her chest rubbed him under the ribs and screamed comfortably, and the slender legs also wrapped Shibi Khan's long-haired thighs tighter, Shibi Kefa was interested, hooking his fingers and squeezing and digging towards the woman's fat buttocks.

At this time, the sound of galloping horses' hooves broke through the silence of the early morning.

Just as Shibi Khan was about to "pick up a gun and get on the horse", the curtain outside the tent suddenly lifted. A cold wind blew, making Shibi Khan shiver. Shibi Khan was about to scold, and as soon as he looked back at people, he swallowed a belly full of dirty words into his stomach.

The person who came was none other than his titular wife, Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty.

Princess Yicheng married in the twenty-eighth year of Shibi Khan's father, Qimin Khan, and nominally Princess Yicheng is not only his Kedun (queen), but also his little mother. Princess Yicheng has been married to the Turks for twenty years since the eighteenth year of the opening of the Sui Dynasty (598 AD). The wind is cold outside, and the appearance of Princess Yicheng is long gone, and Shibi Khan has no interest in a woman of her mother's generation.

Men are very single-minded, no matter what their status, they like young and beautiful women at any time, and Shibi Khan is no exception. In order to gain the support of Shibi Khan, Liang Shidu gave him more than 300 beauties at one time, even if he entered the cave room every night and became a groom every day, it would take him nearly a year to complete.

When his wife came to the door, Shibi Khan, who was bare-skinned, did not feel uncomfortable at all, nor did he feel embarrassed. Shibi Khan said lightly: "Kedun, why did you get up so early?" ”

"Khan is in the mood for a good night's sleep!" Princess Yicheng didn't look at the two women in the futon, sitting in the center of the king's tent with a big horse and a golden sword. "The concubine didn't disturb the Khan's enjoyment!"

Since the beginning of the winter, the Khan's body has not been as good as before. Even if it is the joy of the bed, it is powerless. Half a pillar of incense didn't work, and he was full of energy, but his body felt like it was falling apart.

The Turkic customs were barbaric, and Shibi Khan didn't feel embarrassed, and said lightly: "If Kedun is okay, then please go back!" ”

Shibi Khan looked down on Princess Yicheng, and Princess Yicheng also looked down on Shibi Khan.

"Let's take a look at this!" Princess Yicheng handed over a parchment roll and threw it in front of Shibi Khan.

Shibi Khan picked up the parchment roll on the woolen blanket and began to read.

But after seeing it, Shibi Khan was furious.

It turned out that when he returned, he was extremely angry. After thinking about it, Zhao Bu Lugen and other henchmen discussed countermeasures, and everyone discussed it and decided to lobby Princess Yicheng.

He had long known that Princess Yicheng thought that Li Tang had usurped the Great Sui Dynasty, and had a deep hatred for Li Tang. In fact, Princess Yicheng has always supported Shibi Khan, and joined forces with Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou, Xue Ju, Li Rail, Gao Kaidao and others to attack Tang.

Princess Yicheng is an object that can be cooperated, and both parties can take what they want. As long as he can convince Shibi to attack Tang in an all-out way, he can get the opportunity to lead the troops. As long as he can lead the troops, then he will be sure that he will have the commander's troops.

Thinking of this, Tong Lifu set out from the Wild Boar Ridge towards Huaiyuan overnight, regardless of the cold sky. Huaiyuan County is only more than 80 miles away from Wild Boar Ridge, and when Li Lifu arrived in Huaiyuan Town, the sky was already bright.

He and Princess Yicheng hit it off. So there was a scene of Princess Yicheng bravely breaking into the big tent of Shibi Khan early in the morning.

The report of Tong Lifushi reversed black and white, and it became that he led his troops to borrow the abandoned city of Bogulu, and suddenly encountered an attack by the Tang army, and he was caught off guard, losing 20,000 troops and a large amount of supplies.

"Bang!" Shibi Khan slammed his favorite white porcelain teacup to the ground, turning it into a pile of splinters. The concubine who was painting the thrush shook her wrist, and even her eyebrows were crooked.

"Losing 20,000 horses, Liversh grew up eating?" Shibi Khan's tone was gloomy, which made people only shudder in their hearts when they heard it.

Princess Yicheng saw in Shibi Khan a kind of defiance and unstoppable vitality. This kind of vigor seemed to her to be sometimes too superstitious about struggle and victory, but she had to admit that she couldn't help but be attracted by the temperament of Shibi Khan.

"It's easy, it's really mo!"

Shibi Khan roared: "You go in person and bring the Khambu over!" ”

Yi Bezhen Mo is also the Ashina clan, one of the twelve Turkic settings. He is the son of Ashina Setu and the younger brother of Dulan Khan. Yi Bezhenmo, who was in his prime, was one of the famous warriors of the Turks and a confidant of Shibi Khan.

Yi Bu Zhenmo took the golden arrow from the hands of Shibi Khan and turned away.

Princess Yicheng said: "Khan, you have an appointment with Li Tang Puppet Zuo before, why don't you send an envoy to ask him why he started the war lightly?" ”

Princess Yicheng naturally knew that when Li Yuan raised troops in Taiyuan, he had a blood alliance with him. I don't know what Shibi Khan thinks, he actually insisted on not taking the initiative to attack Tang, at most he only secretly used a little means, or to bewitch Xue Ju, or Liang Shidu, or Liu Wuzhou, but strictly ordered the Turkic departments not to attack Tang in the south.

This made Princess Yicheng very dissatisfied.

"But it makes sense!" Shibi Khan said: "Yongyu Lu, you go to Chang'an and ask Li Yuan why he is treacherous!" ”

Yongyu Lu is one of the four major protectors of the Turks, and his status is second only to Shibi Khan, and his status is even higher than that of Shibi Khan's son Shi Bobi and his younger brother Tong Lifushe.

"Servant obeys!" Yongyu Lu bowed down to answer the order.
