In the distant horizon, a large group of horses slowly moved forward. At the very front were five thousand elite Turkic wolf cavalry. They were well-trained and possessed an imposing aura. More than a hundred bright-eyed and white-toothed Turkic girls, bows and arrows on their backs and scimitars at their waists, valiantly followed.
In the middle of the procession, sixteen scarlet Ferghana Horses pulled a huge carriage forward slowly. Around the carriage, there were countless golden wolf heads hanging from the bamboo. Some of them were angry, some were howling, and the whole scene was awe-inspiring. The wide golden tents rose and fell as the procession moved. The light yellow gauze fluttered gracefully in the wind of the grassland, looking beautiful and graceful.
It was Golden Saber Khan's imperial carriage!
Lin Wanrong stood there quietly, his eyes wet. He looked at the faraway group of horses and felt that his breath had stopped.
"I said I would definitely make it, didn't I?" Sister An, who had woken up at some point, hugged him silently. She pressed her cheek tightly against his broad spine and chuckled softly.
The carriage creaked softly, like a melodious grassland love song. The window curtain was slowly pulled open, and a beautiful girl's face peeked out from inside. She said in a sweet voice, "The Great Khan has ordered us to stop advancing. The entire army is to rest."
The procession silently came to a stop, and the Hu girls quickly erected golden yurts on the sides.
The car door slowly opened, and the girl who had just shouted jumped out and gently lifted the curtain.
The tassels swayed slightly, and a gorgeous woman slowly walked out of the golden carriage.
Her golden skirt was long and elegant, gently brushing against the grass, as dazzling as the sun. Her black hair was as glossy as ink, and it was gently coiled up by a golden hairpin that was inserted diagonally. Simple and noble.
Her skin was translucent and translucent, without a speck of dust, and her beautiful cheeks were suffused with a faint luster. The two patches of snow-white hair on her temples were as pure and noble as kapok.
The little palace maid held her hand. "Great Khan, this is the former D 'Lanza tribe," he said respectfully.
The Great Khan nodded slightly and silently scanned the vast grasslands, the soul-stirring events of that night appearing before its eyes. She gently stroked the China coin hanging on the red string, and a gentle smile appeared in her beautiful eyes.
"Nalan, pass down the order. We will be stationed here today," the Great Khan said slowly. The gentle and sweet voice was like the melodious sounds of nature.
"Yes!" Nalan accepted the order and left. A moment later. The tents that stretched to the sky took root on the grassland. The cavalry set up layers of protection around the perimeter. The palace maids shuttled back and forth. He busied himself with the Great Khan's temporary palace.
The little palace maid Xiangxue followed closely behind the Great Khan, strolling softly over the verdant grass. Looking at the beautiful radiance flickering in the Great Khan's eyes as if he was searching for something silently, Xiangxue asked curiously, "Great Khan. You didn't stop at any of the big tribes in front. Why did you suddenly set up camp here? "
The Great Khan blushed and smiled sweetly. "Because …" This place is different from other places! There was a cunning villain. He has played a mean trick here, and deceived every one. "
Xiang Xue was puzzled. "Even you, Khan, have been deceived?"
"Yes." The Great Khan smiled faintly. Her eyes were filled with nostalgia. "He was obviously a good person, but he always liked to call himself a bad guy! I've been deceived by him! "
"I know." Xiangxue clapped her hands and smiled. "You're talking about the Khan, right?!"
Yu Jia blushed. "How do you know it's him?"
"It's simple." The little palace maid blinked. "Great Khan, you're the smartest person in the world. If someone can deceive you, it must be the Khan of our Turkic Khaganate! If it was someone else, how could they have the ability to do so? "
Yu Jia's cheeks were burning, and she smiled shyly. "You're smart, little girl! I've only been fooled by him in my life! "
The beautiful Golden Blade Khan's bashfulness was tinged with nostalgia. That sorrowful look made Xiang Xue, who had been by her side since she was young, dazed. "Khan, did you start to like the Khan from here?"
Crescent Moon's pretty face blushed. "I don't know either. Because that person is too bad. The things he says and does always make me guess. After a long time. I've gotten used to guessing! Just like in D 'Lanza. He cheated and let our Turkic women and children go. At that time, I really thought that this person was stupid, stupid, and a natural soft-hearted person. China asked him to lead the army because there was no one else in the court. "
"Then what happened?" The little palace maid asked hurriedly.
The Great Khan shook his head and smiled. "Don't you know what happened next?"
Xiangxue thought for a while and giggled. "A natural soft-hearted person actually stole our Great Khan's heart! The Khan is so smart! "
Recalling the past, Yu Jia was extremely shy and happy. Those experiences seemed to have happened yesterday.
Another palace maid, Nalan, hurried over. "Great Khan, Prince Zuo has an official report for you to handle."
Yu Jia nodded and looked around reluctantly. Then, she turned around and walked into the golden yurt.
The yurt was covered with sheepskin, and a golden camel bell hung in the center of the tent. It was simple yet warm. Imperial Advisor Lu Dongzan was already waiting there. When he saw her enter, he hurriedly placed a palm on his chest and bowed respectfully.
"Teacher Lu Dongzan, you don't have to be so courteous." Yu Jia sat down with a smile. "I just left Bayanhaote a few days ago. Why does Prince Zuo have an official report?"
"Reporting to Great Khan," the Imperial Advisor said carefully, "I have read the official report. Prince Zuo is here to plead for his subordinates."
Lu Dongzan handed over the official report. Yu Jia glanced at it and frowned slightly. "Isn't this matter already decided? Several of Badru's subordinates have committed many crimes in the trade zone. Not only did they injure the people of China, but they also beat and kicked my people. It is really infuriating! I will bring them back to the royal court to punish them. This is what the people want. Why does Badru still need to plead for mercy? "
"These people are all warriors under Badru. Prince Zuo is naturally resentful when the Great Khan wants to punish them. It is normal for him to plead for mercy for them." Lu Dongzan nodded and said helplessly, "In fact, the main reason is that Badru has a grudge against this free trade zone. That is why he has sent people to harass it from time to time. It is extremely difficult to persuade him. "
Prince Zuo has opposed the establishment of the free trade zone for a long time. The entire Turkic Khaganate knew about it. Yu Jia sighed slightly. "What Badru is against is not the free trade zone. He is against us making peace with China. He even hopes that Sarmu will never come back! "
The Golden Blade Khan said it so bluntly that Lu Dongzan was caught off guard. "Great Khan —"
Yu Jia waved his hand lightly. "Although the Imperial Advisor and Badru belong to the same clan. But you are smart and wise. You are well-known in the grasslands. You are my teacher, and even my father holds you in high esteem. In front of you, Yu Jia will naturally speak frankly. Even if I do not say it, I believe you understand what Prince Zuo is thinking. "
Lu Dongzan nodded silently. "I understand."
"Father Khan had great ambitions in the past. He must conquer the entire people of China with iron and blood! Although Yu Jia is a woman, she was inspired by this ambition. She even personally infiltrated the hinterland of China to spy on the enemy's military. Teacher knows all of this. "
Yu Jia paced silently. His footsteps were light. His footsteps were light, but unusually firm. The Imperial Advisor bowed and listened.
"But. The two countries have fought for so many years. Countless people have died. What have we obtained? Have we conquered China? "
Lu Dongzan shook his head slowly. In the hundred-year war between the two countries, cities were fought back and forth, resulting in countless casualties. Although the Turkic Khaganate achieved a great victory, the Turkic Khaganate suffered great losses. Although the Turkic Khaganate won, they have never conquered their opponents.
"In these few months, I have been thinking about a question. What do we Turkic Khaganate need? "Yu Jia sighed silently." Teacher, you are a true wise man. Can you tell me the answer? "
Lu Dongzan was silent for a while. Then, he said seriously, "The Khaganate needs to be prosperous. The people need to live happily and comfortably. They cannot be bullied by others. "
"I agree with Teacher." Yu Jia said softly. "Just like how Father Khan wants to conquer the people of China. He is not fighting for the sake of fighting! His ultimate goal is for our people to live a happy life. "
"But. Don't say that we did not conquer China. Even if we really conquered Mount Helan. Even if we invaded the hinterland of China, so what? China's population is more than ten times ours. We will never be able to kill them all. Even if we can rule them, we will still be subtly influenced by them. Think about the thousands of years of history, Imperial Advisor. It is not that China has never been conquered. But which of the nomads who entered the pass were not drowned by China's sea of people? These people who entered the pass. Where are they now?! "
The Great Khan's series of questions were so deafening that Lu Dongzan broke out in cold sweat. He was a renowned wise man of the grasslands. Think about the history of the past. The nomads who fought their way into the pass. Although they had a glorious history. Eventually, they were drowned in the torrent of China's history. This was the characteristic of the integration of a nation. It could not be defied.
"From the physical aspect. We may be able to rule China. But from the mental aspect, they will rule us! " Yu Jia silently shook his head. "As a Turk, State Preceptor, tell me, what should I do?"
Such a question could only be understood by the wise. Yu Jia's vision was so profound that even Lu Dongzan, as his teacher, was shocked. "I understand now." The Imperial Advisor sighed deeply. "The Great Khan is right. Even if we conquer China and fight our way into the pass, we will not be the ones to win."
"Setting up a free trade zone in Bayanhaote is actually legalizing the private exchanges among the people. On one hand, it is to let our people enjoy the benefits of trade, and at the same time, improve their farming and livestock standards, and improve their lives. On the other hand, it is also a platform for us to communicate with China. Our people can slowly adapt to China's culture, so that we will not be caught off guard and suffer a greater impact. Moreover, such exchanges are within our control. For now, let's treat it as a touchstone for the integration of the two cultures. We can adjust our strategy according to the actual situation, and protect our own national traditions. "
Yu Jia's voice was soft and unhurried. Lu Dongzan was convinced. Such a Golden Saber Khan was the hope of the grasslands.
"These words cannot be said to Badru! In their eyes, I am a woman who has been bewitched by Lin San! " Golden Saber Khan smiled bitterly. "That's right. I love my Wo Laozong. I miss him every day. I want to marry him and bear his children! But I am also a Turk. No matter what happens in the future, I will not harm my people. I swear on my life! "
Yu Jia's eyes were wet, and she gritted her teeth. Her eyes were filled with deep sorrow and pain.
Lu Dongzan was extremely touched. He stood up and said respectfully, "Rest assured, Great Khan. I will personally persuade Badru. If he insists, Lu Dongzan will be the first to not forgive him. "
"Thank you, Imperial Advisor." The Great Khan smiled and said softly, "Also, I have finished reorganizing the troops of the Right Prince Tu Suozo. Hundreds of thousands of men have pledged their loyalty to me. The sky of my grasslands will always be as clear as this! "
Golden Saber Khan used both hard and soft tactics. The Imperial Advisor was overjoyed. What the grasslands needed was a prodigy like this!
Long after Lu Dongzan left, Yu Jia's eyes were still red as she stood there silently.
Xiangxue asked carefully, "Great Khan, do you miss the Khan?"
"I don't miss him at all!" Yu Jia's cheeks were bright red. She snorted angrily. "It's all because of this bad bandit that I am in such a sorry state!"
"Is that so?" Xiangxue rolled her eyes and giggled. "I just heard from Sister Nalan that there is a letter from the Lin family in the capital city of China!"
"What?" The Great Khan stood up. Her breasts were trembling and her hands were trembling. She was so surprised that her heart was about to fly. "Really? Where is it? "
Xiangxue covered her mouth and giggled. She mimicked her and said, "It's all because of this bad bandit that I am in such a sorry state!"
The Great Khan was stunned. Her cheeks turned red and she scolded, "You little girl, how dare you lie to me! I will definitely punish you! "
While the two of them were arguing, the little palace maid Nalan rushed in. Her face was red and her voice was trembling. "Reporting, Khan, there is an envoy from China outside the camp asking for an audience!"
