Although Anuri thinks that the daughter of her father Khan who is going to marry Prince Qibi is not Asto, but another sister, Ami, Asto is still not at ease, because when the family gathers for dinner that day, her father is facing her, and she must ask about it.

As soon as Anuri left the big tent, Asto stood up and ran towards the big tent of his father Khan, and Asto's purple flower tent was also located in the royal area of the tooth tent, not far from the big tent of his father Khan.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, the Khan is meeting with the military advisor, come back later!"

"Then I'll wait in the outer tent, and I'll go in after the Father Khan's negotiation is over."

The Turkic king's tent is a huge tent, covering an area of three acres, which is divided into many functional areas, and it is not a single tent, but a double-layer composite tent, divided into two layers inside and outside, and there is a corridor with a width of two feet between the two layers, and the Turkic ministers will stand in the aisle when they are waiting for the reception.

I Wei didn't dare to embarrass the Khan's most beloved princess, so he put her in, Asduo walked into the outer tent quickly, she was ready to wait in the other tent next to her, but at this moment, she suddenly heard the name of 'Yang Yuanqing' faintly coming from the tent, Asduo was stunned, and quickly walked into the aisle and found a corner where no one was

Inside the Turkic king's tent, Dye Gan was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed, and he really couldn't make up his mind.

Standing beside him was his military advisor Shi Shu Huxi, who came up with a brilliant plan for Dye Gan, but he saw that Dye Gan still couldn't make up his mind, and persuaded him: "The Khan wants to win over Xue Yantuo." They were even promised a million sheep as compensation, which was a relief to them. But why Xue Yantuo has been unwilling to express his position, the reason is that in the battle of Lake Harry, we annihilated 20,000 of them and killed Xue Qiluo. ”

"But that was Yang Yuanqing's doing, what does it have to do with the Turks?" Dye Gan said with some displeasure.

"Khan, Yi Lost Bowl doesn't think like this, the battle of Lake Harry, the coach is Yang Yuanqing, it's good. But the soldiers are our warriors, and the key is that the khan has not dissociated himself from this matter. ”

"That's the suggestion. Kill Yang Yuanqing and hand over his head to Yi Lost Bowl, can we even clear up this matter? ”

"The humble position thinks that this is the case, Yang Yuanqing killed his two sons, Yi lost the bowl has hated Yang Yuanqing to the core, he will inevitably retaliate, this is also the real reason why Yang Yuanqing braved the ice and snow to come to the Khan, with Xue Yantuo's strength and the Sui Dynasty will not believe that Xue Yantuo will attack Fengzhou, so he can only hope for the Khan, hoping that the Khan can send troops to help him. This is precisely our opportunity, to give his head to Xue Yantuo, Yi lost the bowl will definitely be inexhaustible to the Khan, and at the same time resolve our grievances with Xue Yantuo in the battle of Lake Hari, if the Khan gives Xue Yantuo a little more support at this time, then he thinks that Xue Yantuo will definitely agree to form an alliance with us to deal with the Kham, Khan, this opportunity must not be lost! ”

Dye Gan paced back and forth in the big tent with his hands behind his back, the reason why he couldn't make up his mind was that Yang Yuanqing represented the Great Sui Emperor and was the envoy of the Great Sui, and he did not have the courage to kill the Sui envoy.

However, winning over Xue Yantuo is a major strategic decision, and the ultimate purpose of winning over Xue Yantuo is to subdue the Tiele tribes, whether it is the Eastern Turks or the Western Turks, they are all eyeing the Tiele tribes, and whoever can get the Tiele tribes will be able to dominate the grassland.

Among the Tiele tribes, Qibi and Xue Yantuo are the most powerful, and the other Tiele tribes are all looking at the two of them, yes, as long as the Qibi and Xue Yantuo are subdued, then the other Tiele tribes will naturally surrender.

Dye Gan thought about this strategic goal for more than half a year, in fact, the first thing he wanted to swallow was not Xue Yantuo, but Qibi, Xue Yantuo is in the Jinshan area, the location is far away, and Qibi is in the southwest of them, close to the Eastern Turks, the Han people have a strategy of distant friendship and close attack, the first emperor Yang Jian gave it to him, this strategy he firmly remembered.

Dye Gan did not dare to use troops against Chebi easily, he was afraid that the Tiele tribes would unite against him, he thought of marriage, but of the five sons of the great chief of Chebi, four were already married, and one son was still young, only nine years old, and there was no chance for the implementation of this marriage strategy.

At this time, the Tiele tribes held a general meeting to elect Qibi Gelen as the Great Khan of Tiele, and elected Yishi as the Khan of Tiele, Dye Gan suddenly realized that it was impossible for a scabbard to insert two knives at the same time, and sure enough, the people he sent sent to send the news that Qibi and Xue Yantuo had turned against each other for the dispute over the leader of Tiele.

Dye Gan knew that his opportunity had come, but he still lacked the last opportunity, Xue Yantuo's position was far away, and he couldn't use countertactics to provoke infighting between them.

Dye Gan felt that it was his hard work that moved Tengger, a snowstorm hit Xue Yantuo, forcing Xue Yantuo to move south, just as Dye Gan racked his brains how to buy Xue Yantuo, he got a news that Yang Yuanqing killed Yi Lost Bowl's son Thorn Duo, and as if it was destined in the dark, Yang Yuanqing came to his tooth tent as a Sui envoy.

Is this Tengger's arrangement? Is this the will of God?

According to Shi Shu Huxi's strategy, kill Yang Yuanqing and sacrifice his head to Yi Lost Bowl, Xue Yantuo will inevitably form an alliance with the Turks, and the two families will send troops to attack Qibi, once the Qibi is destroyed, Xue Yantuo will inevitably be isolated by other Tiele tribes, and he will eat Xue Yantuo in turn, so that the Tiele tribes can only surrender to him and make him hegemonic.

The core issue now is to form an alliance with Xue Yantuo first, and the key person in the alliance with Xue Yantuo is Yang Yuanqing.

Dye Gan has already been tempted, morality is not a problem, although he once called Yang Yuanqing his most honored guest, but compared to his ambition to dominate the grassland, this 'most honored guest' is really not worth mentioning.

Since the beginning of this year, he feels that his body is beginning to decline, he will not live for a few years, this is the inevitable fate of every Turkic khan, he must complete the hegemony of the unified steppe before his death, and leave his glorious name in the annals of Turkic history.

At this time, the only thing he was afraid of was the Sui Dynasty, Yang Yuanqing was the Sui envoy, and he killed the Sui envoy. He couldn't explain to Emperor Sui, and his relationship with the Sui Dynasty was completely over. The price was too heavy, and he had to weigh the pros and cons again.

Shi Shu Hu understood Dye Gan's hesitation, he pondered for a while and suggested: "Or tell Yang Yuanqing's return route to Yi Lost Bowl, and let him ambush Yang Yuanqing halfway, this can also show our sincerity, and we can also clear the suspicion of the Khan, so as not to offend the Sui Dynasty, but Yang Yuanqing will change his course." If the ambush is not successful, we will be blamed for losing the bowl. The lowly position thinks that it is better and most reliable to kill him directly. ”

"Khan, don't hesitate!" Shi Shu Huxi agitated again.

At this time, Ah Siduo, who was hiding in the outer tent and eavesdropping, heard a sentence that killed him directly, which frightened her so much that she couldn't listen to it anymore, so she turned around and slipped away quietly.

In the big tent, Dye Gan was still weighing, and he finally surrendered in front of the powerful Sui Dynasty, he sighed and said: "Killing Yang Yuanqing is not worth the loss, the second strategy I decided to adopt is to tell Yi Lost Bowl the route of Yang Yuanqing's return." Let them deploy how to intercept and kill on their own? ”

Shi Shu Hu Xi secretly hated in his heart, he knew that he would not have a second plan, and directly instigated the Khan to kill Yang Yuanqing, although the dye dry had already been decided, but he was still unwilling in his heart, so he bowed down and said: "Khan, then the humble post will be resigned!" ”

"Go ahead! I'll send someone to tell you about it! ”

After taking two steps, Dye Gan instructed him again: "Only I know about this matter, and I can't tell a third person, understand?" ”

"Yes, I understand."

Shi Shuhu bowed and withdrew.

Dye Gan looked at the top of the big tent with his back hand, and was silent for a long time.

Shi Shu Huxi is not a Turk, he is a Sogdian of Shi Guo, a businessman, he has no emotional loyalty to the Turks, he only recognizes interests, he knows very well in his heart, if he personally gives Yang Yuanqing's head to Yi Lost Bowl, what kind of reward will he get?

At the same time, there was also a feud between Shi Shu Huxi and Yang Yuanqing, and their feud was still formed at Harry Lake, when Datou Khan promised him that if the Eastern and Western Turks united, he would be grateful for the gold equivalent to the weight of a war horse, but in the end, because Yang Yuanqing attacked Datou at night, his dream of gold was shattered.

Since then, Shi Shu Hu Xi hated Yang Yuanqing to the bone, he has been waiting for the opportunity to take revenge, this time Yang Yuanqing sent a Turkic envoy, so that Shi Shu Hu Xi found a chance to take revenge.

Although Dye Gan ordered him not to divulge this secret, to Shi Shuhu, this would make him lose the opportunity to get a heavy thank you from Xue Yantuo, and in the face of interests, Dye Gan's order was worthless.

Shi Shu Huxi immediately found the eldest son of Dye Gan, Du Ji is the legal heir of the Turkic Khan, that is, the prince of the Turks, he knows that his father Khan's body is beginning to age, and he is about to enter the Turkic Khan, he has even thought about his future Khan name, Shibi Khan.

Du Ji did not have his father's gratitude and loyalty to the Sui Dynasty, but he had the decisiveness and ruthlessness that his father did not have, when he listened to Shi Shu Huxi's analysis and strategy, he almost did not hesitate to say: "Kill Yang Yuanqing, kill him tonight!" ”

He must not let his father's foolish loyalty to the Sui Dynasty ruin this opportunity to dominate the grassland.

Shi Shu Hu Xi was overjoyed in his heart, he wanted to kill Yang Yuanqing with his own hands to avenge the destruction of the golden dream on the shore of Harry Lake, and at the same time he wanted to grab Yang Yuanqing's head and send it directly to Xue Yantuo, he hurriedly said: "Let me do this tonight, I will personally slaughter him, and I implore His Highness to give me men and horses." ”

Lu Ji nodded, "I'll give a thousand soldiers, sneak attack Yang Yuanqing's camp tonight, be sure to kill him!" ”

Coming back from Princess Yicheng's big tent, Yang Yuanqing was sitting in the tent reading a book, he had already given the tea to dye and dry, and asked him to distribute it to the major chiefs, he calculated an account, if tea can become a daily consumer product for the grassland people, then the profit he gets from selling tea every year will be measured by millions of livestock, which is definitely a business for the benefit of the country and himself.

Now that his bait has been spilled, just waiting for the fish to take the bait tomorrow spring, he is very confident that with the tea drinking method he introduced, in a winter, the Turkic upper class will be inseparable from tea.

Yang Yuanqing was about to rest for two days, and then returned to Dali City, at this time, the curtain suddenly lifted, and Asduo ran in in horror, and hurriedly said: "General Yang, go quickly, my father Khan is going to kill!" ”。
