In the middle of the night, a few sparse torches illuminated the shadow outside the Black Sand military camp. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

A large group of cavalry walked in front of Xue Shao in a tight and orderly manner.

Xue Shao couldn't see the faces of these knights one by one, but he could feel the tragic pride in their chests.

Five thousand cavalrymen quietly left the camp in the middle of the night and rushed to a foreign battlefield thousands of miles away. They may face an enemy ten times their size and all unknown contingencies.

Xue Shao allowed Xue Ne to choose his own 200,000 troops at will. Xue Ne didn't pick at all, so he brought with him the five thousand veterans who had been following him to garrison the Black Sands. Xue Shao was still relieved, and insisted on adding him another 3,000 elite crossbowmen and equipping him with several personal men who were good at using gunpowder. After all, these people are extremely good for defense.

But Schenne didn't accept it. He said that there were not many soldiers, and there was not much difference between 8,000 and 5,000. As for those gunpowders, they are not familiar with them, and they will only be wasted if they bring them, so it is better to let them stay by Xue Shuai's side to play a huge role.

Xue Shao didn't insist anymore, and only came with Xue Chuyu to see off Xue Ne late this night.

Xue Ne rode a horse to Xue Shao, bowed with his fists, then glanced at Xue Chuyu, and left without saying a word.

The two watched Xue Ne go away, and the five thousand horsemen also left in droves.

"I've never seen my eldest brother so resolute and resolute as he is today." Xue Chuyu said.

"In my memory, it seems like there has never been." Xue Shao said, "Actually, I know that he has always been underestimated. He has also been holding back. He's one of the most poised people I've ever met. ”

"I remember that when my father was alive, he often scolded his eldest brother at home for being gentle and feminine, and lacking the heroic spirit of a vigorous and resolute man. The eldest brother never defended, but only promised. That always made my father even angrier. Xue Chuyu said, "Until today, I didn't know that the eldest brother is not lacking in male heroism. He's just more calm and dignified than the rest of our brothers. ”

Xue Shao was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Perhaps, he is more handsome than all of us." ”

"Oh?" Xue Chuyu was stunned.

Xue Shao smiled indifferently, "He doesn't have so many fetters and distractions from me. He was able to concentrate entirely on the military. ”

Xue Chuyu blinked his eyes in confusion, "Second brother, isn't it focused enough?" ”

"Before, I was able to concentrate on the war. This concentration reached its peak when it came to the battle against the Garchinling. At that time, I was even dreaming about strategy and tactics. But now...... Xue Shao sighed, "The root of the military is politics. Once a person steps into the field of power, his mind is like being covered by an invisible net. I can't easily concentrate on what I do. ”

Xue Chuyu was stunned.

Xue Shao patted his arm with a relaxed smile, "When this battle is over, I may be able to remove my armor." ”

"The second brother wants to go into hiding?!" Xue Chuyu was shocked.

"Don't be stupid. I only said about unloading the armor, but I didn't say about returning to the field. Xue Shao smiled, "Besides, even if I want to, I may not be able to do it!" ”

Xue Chuyu sighed, "Scare me!" ”

"Human energy is limited. I simply can't lead troops to fight a war while juggling state affairs and government affairs. Xue Shao said, "There are a lot of talents in the world, and I can't do everything myself." I have been operating in the military for more than a decade. Today, I feel like it's time for me to change my life. ”

"Is it because you're bored?" Xue Chuyu asked.

"Not exactly." Xue Shao shook his head, "The main reason is that we already have a large number of elite talents like you and your eldest brother in our army, which is enough to support our national defense mission." Xue Shao is no longer indispensable. ”

"How is this possible?" Xue Chuyu exclaimed, "I have an army of more than 700,000 people, and if I lack anyone, I must not lack Xue Shuai!" ”

"I don't fight with you." Xue Shao smiled, "One day, the facts will prove that I am right." ”

Yudu Imayama. Black Sand Tooth Tent.

Tian Guidao looked at the strange man in front of him who was wearing a mask and shaking his whole body, and he always felt that he was full of gloom, which made people extremely uncomfortable. In particular, he cast two glances from the hole in the mask, which made people feel like they were on their backs.

After listening to Xue Shao's words truthfully relayed by Tian Guidao, Tunyugu had been thinking for a long time.

Tian Guidao was waiting patiently, and involuntarily compared him with Xue Shao in his heart. He felt that the two had a lot of similarities and great differences. The most similar thing is that their intelligence and courage are also beyond ordinary people, and they can always give people a strong sense of oppression. And the biggest difference is that Xue Shaoyang is as strong as a river. And the valley of desire is cold and feminine, which is difficult to guard.

"In this way, does Xue Shao have to force the tooth tent to hand over Wang Yu?" Lust Valley spoke.

Tian Guidao said quietly: "This envoy conveys truthfully word by word. How to understand, Mohe Dagan also please cut himself. ”

Tun Desire Gu picked up the teapot and poured it for Tian Guidao without hurrying, poured it for himself, and then said, "I know Xue Shao." ”

Tian Guidao did not intervene and waited for the following.

"He's always in a hurry. He is not good at disguising, or rather disdainful of disguising. "What he wants to do and what he wants to get, people can always see it at first glance." The rest is that those who go along with it prosper and those who go against it perish. ”

Tian Guidao was slightly stunned, and then smiled, "This opinion is also unique. ”

"A lot of times, enemies tend to know a person better than a friend." Tun Desire Valley said, "And I happen to be Xue Shao's enemy for more than ten years. Although we only met briefly on horseback, I believe that he and I must have known each other. ”

"In that case, how does Mohedagan plan to reply to him?" Tian Guidao asked.

"No matter how I reply, Xue Shao has only one purpose." "He wants to destroy my Turks." ”

Tian Guidao was stunned.

"So." Tunyugu's voice seemed to be laughing, "Even if I hand over Wang Yu, he will still find other excuses and reasons to wave his troops north." ”

"Not necessarily, right?" Tian Guidao said, "What good will it do him if the two countries are at war and their lives are suffering? I think Taiwei Xue is not a brutal and murderous person. Isn't it because he has such a resolute attitude and mobilizes the people because there is something he desperately wants here in the grassland? ”

Tunyugu was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled strangely, "Your envoy, it's not cunning. ”

"Where do you start?" Tian Guidao is full of innocence.

"We have no one to talk to in private, so you don't have to go around in circles." "Did the Virgin Krotun come to you privately and ask you to help figure out a way to get her involved in our negotiations?" ”

Tian Guidao's expression remained unchanged, but he was shocked in his heart: No wonder the extremely smart Xuan Yunzi reminded me again and again, telling me to be careful. It turns out that this Lust Valley is really like a ghost!

"It seems that your envoy should have promised her." Tunyugu sneered twice, "In that case, how can I not give your envoy a few thin noodles?" - Come, go and ask for the Virgin of Kotun. ”

Immediately someone outside the tent promised.

"And the female military division next to her, please come too!" Lust Valley said again.

Tian Guidao kept blinking in embarrassment. As an envoy of a great power, it is not particularly glorious to hold secret meetings and consultations with others, even if it is passive.

"You don't have to be cramped." Tun Desire Valley poured tea for Tian Guidao again and said, "Rules are dead, but people are alive." At stake is the war between the two countries and the survival of millions of lives, and it is indeed necessary for us to speak widely and hear more voices. What's more, the person on the other side is Xue Shao, how can we not listen to what Our Lady Kedun wants to say? ”

Tian Guidao nodded with a wry smile, okay, no matter how you say it, you have a point!

It didn't take long for Ai Yan and Xuan Yunzi to arrive.

"You may be seated." As if entertaining an old friend, Tunyugu invited the two of them to sit down and served tea in person.

Ai Yan's expression was quite vigilant. She didn't speak in a hurry, she wanted to hear what Lust Valley wanted to say first.

"Everyone here understands people, so I won't talk nonsense." Tun Desire Valley said, "It is impossible to hand over Wang Yu. Just like that, Da Zhou will never hand over their horse Xue Shao to us. ”

"Taiwei Xue's attitude is already understood." Tian Guidao said, "Mohe Dagan replied like this, I am afraid that war between the two countries is inevitable. ”

Tun Desire Valley turned his head to look at Ai Yan, "Holy Mother Kedun, what do you think?" ”

"I don't think so." Aiyan said.

Tunyugu immediately stretched out his hand and made a gesture, "I want to hear and explain in detail." ”

"If you don't hand over Wang Yu, you will be able to avoid war." Ai Yan said without thinking.

"Hahaha!" Tun Yugu laughed, "It's really high-minded, and it hits the nail on the head!" ”

Tian Guidao looked stunned and surprised.

"Your Excellency need not be surprised. Our Lady Kedun is right. Tun Desire Valley said, "Do you think Xue Shao really wants Wang Yu?" Or do you want Our Lady of Kotun and their mother and child? Or is it this thousand miles of grassland? ”

"Wrong, all wrong! What Xue Shao wants is nothing more than the head of Lust Valley! ”

Ai Yan and Xuan Yunzi both looked at Tunyugu coldly and didn't say a word.

Tian Guidao was surprised: "There is such a deep hatred between Mohe Dagan and Taiwei Xue? ”

"Nope. There is no personal enmity between me and Xue Shao. "It's just that Xue Shao is eager to restore the hegemony of the Tang Dynasty over the grasslands in the Central Plains. And I'm going to stop him at all costs! ”

Tian Guidao, Ai Yan and Xuan Yunzi looked at Tunyu Valley with a look of surprise on their faces.

"There is no doubt that this is the root cause. Other than that, any reason is just incidental or far-fetched. Tun Desire Gu said and slowly stood up, and said unhurriedly: "Xue Shaozhi's true character is that he is a soldier, a very pure soldier. And he studied under Pei Xingjian, and Pei Xingjian can be traced back to Su Dingfang, Li Jing and even Li Shimin. These people are all the holy hands of the soldiers of the Central Plains. And the character of the soldier is not only to protect the territory and the people, and I will be punished if I commit crimes. Conquest and expansion are what excite and fanatize them the most! ”

Ai Yan and Xuan Yunzi were silent.

Tian Guidao was also silent for a while, and suddenly said, "I believe it." ”

"Believe what?"

Tian Guidao sighed lightly, "Mohe Dagan, he really knows better than us, Taiwei Xue!" ”
