Chapter 150
The next day, Xiao Chuan and Changsun Sheng found the Turkic envoys and asked them to report to the Eastern Turkic royal court first, saying that Princess Qianjin and her relatives had come, and asked Khan to come and greet them.

The Turkic envoy walked slowly with the marriage team every day, and was already impatient, but now he could go back to report the letter, and he was relieved immediately, and ran away.

As a result, before the Turkic envoys arrived at the royal court, they saw two small tribes being attacked by surprise. The herdsmen who survived by chance cried and complained that it was the Western Turkic people who came for the surprise attack, so they rushed back to report the news.

East Turkic Tuobo Khan was furious but confused, and said: "Photograph, usually the Western Turkic and us have some small conflicts, and they all broke out at the border. How did the Western Turkic people penetrate into our interior this time?"

Tuobo Khan's eldest brother has forgotten that Khan did not pass the Han position to his eldest son Shetu, but to his younger brother, so Tuobo Khan has always valued Tuobo Khan.

After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Tuobo Khan, I guess Datou wants to snatch Da Zhou's princess daughter, force Da Zhou to form an alliance with their Western Turks, and then attack our Eastern Turks together with Da Zhou."

Tuobo Khan said: "East Turks are not afraid of Western Turks and Great Zhou. I originally wanted to humiliate the Great Zhou Taishang and ask him to pay more tribute to East Turks. Now Da Da put a stick in his head. Humiliate me, I will personally lead someone to kill all the bastards in Western Turks."

Anluo, the eldest son of Tuobo Khan, said: "Father Khan, how can you kill a chicken with a ox knife? Let me go there for you."

Tuobo Khan said: "I'm not old yet, just in time to exercise my muscles and bones, and chop off the heads of a few Western Turks."

She took the picture and said, "Khan, let me go with you."

Tuobo Khan said: "Okay, call for two thousand elite cavalry from the royal court, and let's go kill people."

In the Tucheng guard's room, Xiao Chuan, Shi Wansui, Changsun Sheng and others were discussing the ambush location on a simple sand table.

Shi Wansui drew a curved line with his thick hand, and said: "The royal court of the Eastern Turks is located in the upper reaches of the Orkhon River between the East and West Turks. If you don’t need to travel around, you can just go to the middle reaches of the Orkhon River.”

Chang Sun Sheng said with a smile: "We are so considerate, and we have to help the robbers consider the robbery route."

Xiao Chuan said: "Brother Shi just captured more than 1000 war horses, so we have [-] cavalry. A certain person suggested that Brother Shi and a certain person lead [-] cavalry each, and first dress up as Western Turkic cavalry to attack the East Turkic wedding party. , to muddy the water, and then turn it into an Eastern Turkic cavalry to attack the Western Turkic troops.”

Changsun Sheng said: "This idea is good, but it's too dangerous. Let's go and harass the Turks with Brother Shi."

Xiao Chuan said: "Brother grandson, it is a great responsibility to protect Princess Qianjin. You are wise and brave, and you are the best candidate. You and Brother Shi will run away after being harassed, and the task will be completed after the East and West Turks fight."

Shi Wansui is an iron-blooded man, although he has not been in contact with Xiao Chuan for a long time, he is very tempered, and said: "Yes, Changsun Sheng, you have been a soldier for ten years, this time let Brother Dugu also practice his hands, seeing the blood to be a real man."

Xiao Chuan said: "Brother grandson, the main thing is that you are the deputy envoy, stay with the envoy and keep him steady. The less people we know about the Turkic attack, the better."

Changsun Sheng said: "Okay, I will let another two thousand civilians wear the uniforms of the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but the clothes of the Turks are not enough."

Xiao Chuan said: "I brought some Turkic clothes, as many as I want."

It turned out that Xiao Chuan had secretly taken out the Xiongnu costumes seized in the Eastern Han Dynasty last night, there were thousands of sets.

The guard of Tucheng was listening to the plan of the three, and he couldn't help being fascinated. He wished to go out of the city to fight. Of course, he also knew that his task of defending the city was important. Turkic weapons and flags, you can take them if you want."

Xiao Chuan said: "Okay, thank you so much, we will share with you when we find something."

The guard rejoiced and said, "Thank you, General."

After dark, a thousand Zhou soldiers changed into Turkic clothes, bows and arrows, and their weapons were replaced with Turkic scimitars, maces, and axes. They put away the Eastern Turkic flags and raised the Western Turkic flags first.

Under the guidance of Shi Wansui, Xiao Chuan and a thousand Zhou soldiers quietly left Tucheng and came to the hiding place of Yujuluo and other soldiers.

Seeing the strong Turkic war horses, the later thousand Zhou infantry were overjoyed, happier than seeing their wives.

Looking for a leeward place, Xiao Chuan, Yu Juluo, Zhang Xutuo and other generals gathered together, Shi Wansui took out a sheepskin with a crude map drawn on it, and with the help of the dim light, said: "Brother Dugu, this is Some of the nearby Eastern Turkic tribes we detected during this period of time suggested that we sneak attack a few more tribes, grab more horses, cattle and sheep, and strive for one person and two riders, so as to ensure sufficient combat power."

Xiao Chuan looked at the map, pointed at two small dots, and said, "Okay, I agree. It just so happens that the distance between the two nearby tribes is about the same, so I will go and beat them in Caogu."

Shi Wansui said: "Brother Dugu, you go to the nearby tribe, brother, I will go to the far one."

Xiao Chuan said: "Brother Shi, I got two Costinins a few days ago, and they can be used now. Brother Shi will take one away later, so as to facilitate investigation and contact."

Xiao Chuan gave an order, and the eagle slave next to him whistled. In the dark night sky, two pure white jade claws Haidongqing flew down and landed firmly on the arms of the two eagle slaves wearing protective gear.

Costin's wings are more than two meters long when spread out, and one meter tall when standing.

Shi Wansui said enviously: "Brother Dugu, your two sea dongqings are so beautiful."

Xiao Chuan said vigilantly: "Brother Shi, let's make an agreement, this Costin is borrowed from you, and you will have to return it when the time comes."

Shi Wansui waved his hand and said, "Okay, brother, I know, I will definitely give you back everything after completing the task."

Under the bright moonlight, Xiao Chuan led a thousand Zhou cavalry to march towards the tribe.

In the sky more than ten miles away, a sea dongqing was flying high in the sky, its sharp eyes were fixed on the front.

Lai Hu'er and Qu Tutong kept Princess Qianjin to protect them, Yu Juluo was in the front, Xiao Ju was in the middle, Zhang Xutuo and Yuchijia were in the back, and a thousand Zhou soldiers marched forward in a frontal formation.

Zhang Xutuo and Yuchijia were on the battlefield for the first time, and their hearts were full of excitement and a little apprehensive.

The soldiers of the Great Zhou next to them were great warriors, all of them were taciturn, but exuded a strong murderous aura.

The moods of Zhang Xutuo and Yuchijia also gradually calmed down, and they looked forward to the first battle even more.

"Whoosh."

Hai Dongqing flew back from afar and called a few times.

Ying Nu said in blunt Chinese: "General, a Turkic tribe was found in the first five miles."

Xiao Chuan waved his hand and the whole army stopped.

"Pass down the order, all dismount, rest where they are, eat something, and let the horses recover their strength."

When the soldiers were resting, Xiao Chuan put Yu Juluo in charge of the soldiers and horses, and he led Zhang Xutuo and Yuchijia to approach the Turkic tribe quietly on horseback.

The Turkic tribe is not big, and there can be more than 100 tents inside the simple fence.

It was already late at night, and a dozen sentries were sitting on the ground holding their weapons, leaning against the fence and dozing off, not knowing that death was coming.
