Uzbekistan's expression changed.
As Moche spoke, everyone was already staring at the changes in his expression. When they saw this scene, they no longer doubted Yang Fan's words.
Unfortunately, Uzbekistan was in a state of panic and had no time to consider where the Turks had heard this news. He still wanted to salvage the situation and hurriedly explained, "This is really a bad joke! This shaman was sent out on the orders of our Khagan. Before this, our Khagan had just led his troops out of Youzhou and attacked Danzhou. I wonder where the Khagan heard this rumor? "
Mozhi sipped his wine and lightly said, "You lost the battle in Ma City?"
Uzbekistan was stunned again. Only now did he start to feel that the other party was not just groundless speculation but had actually understood something. He quickly put on a calm expression and said, "Victory and defeat are common in war. Occasionally losing is a very normal thing. The Khagan is a hero on horseback and has been on the battlefield for half his life. He should understand this!"
Mooch laughed heartily and said, "So you have one?"
Uzbekistan calmly said, "We only suffered a setback in attacking the city, a small defeat!"
Xiao Mumu could not hold back and angrily shouted, "Even your Khagan Li Jinzhong died in this battle, and you still say it was a small defeat?"
Uzbekistan was dumbfounded and retorted in surprise, "Who said that our Khagan died in this battle?"
Mozhi sneered, "You dare say that Li Jinzhong is still alive?"
Uzbekistan's mind raced and he knew that he could no longer hide it. He could only bite the bullet and say, "The Supreme Khagan has indeed … passed away. But … "
Munn said in a carefree tone, "You finally admitted it! Hmph! As the Khagan, there's no reason for him to personally attack a city, right? He died in the middle of the army, and you dare say that this battle was a small defeat? "
Uzbekistan panicked and quickly defended himself, "Although our Khagan has passed away, he did not die in Ma City!"
Seljuq pressed on, "Then where did he die?"
Uzbekistan stammered, "Our Khagan … was shot by an arrow in the Yellow Deer Valley. Due to the poor treatment, he suffered a relapse from time to time. Later on, when attacking Zhuolu, his old injuries relapsed and he died!"
The Turkic leaders in the tent seemed to have heard a big joke and all burst into laughter.
Poor Grand Wizard Kirstein looked at their behavior blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
His initial concealment of Li Jinzhong's death and his subsequent string of quibbles had made it so that no one would believe his words. In the face of the Turks' reaction, he truly didn't know what to do.
Mochiba's face darkened. "How dare you! You suffered a defeat in Ma City, and even Li Jinzhong died on the spot. After that, you were surrounded by the Zhou Army and were in a dilemma of life and death, so you want to use this Khan as a spear, huh? On one hand, you sent messengers to the Zhou Kingdom to see their Emperor, begging for her forgiveness, and on the other hand, you sent you to deceive this Khan into sending troops!
You say that you have already defeated Wang Xiaojie's army of one million, and the Tangs are terrified at the news. It's just that you are limited by your military strength and cannot conquer Youzhou for a long time. Humph! If this Khan falls for your evil scheme and sends troops into Hebei, then I will be helping you out of the siege. This Khan will suffer heavy casualties, so how can I get any benefits?
If you surrender to the Zhou Kingdom first, when this Khan's troops arrive, I'm afraid that you will still have to turn around and fight with us on behalf of the Zhou Kingdom to atone for your sins, right? Grand Wizard Kirstein, do you think the Turks are so easy to bully! "
Kirstein first drank some wine and then dressed up to see Mochiba. The tent was hot, and in his anxiety, he was sweating profusely. He said repeatedly, "It's not like that, it's really not like that. The Zhou Army has suffered repeated defeats and can't do anything to us. Although Khan Li Jinzhong is dead, he did not die on the battlefield. Moreover, our troops have not been surrounded by the Zhou Army at all. Who exactly is the slanderer?
Khan, you must investigate clearly! "Chebichri shouted," This person is deceiving the people and deceiving the Khan. Kill him! "
"Yes! Kill him! "
In the eyes of the leaders, Kirstein was sweating profusely. They automatically interpreted it as a sign of guilt after the lie was exposed, and the leaders began to clamor.
Mochiba waved his hand and stopped the shouting. He said to Kirstein, "You still don't admit it? The Zhou Kingdom has also sent an envoy to urge this Khan to send troops and cooperate with the Zhou Kingdom to suppress you. All of this is what their envoy said. Otherwise, this Khan will be kept in the dark by you! "
Kirstein said anxiously, "Khan, they are lying to you! I am willing to confront them face to face! "
Mochiba ignored Kirstein's exasperated explanation and said coldly, "We will talk about this later."
Kirstein shouted, "Khan! Khan! Speed is of the essence in war! If we do not send troops now and wait for the Zhou Kingdom to calmly dispatch reinforcements from the rear, we will miss the opportunity! "
Mochiba said, "Take him away!"
Two Turkic warriors rushed into the tent and dragged Grand Wizard Kirstein away.
As Stan struggled, he shouted in despair, "Let me confront them! Let me confront them face to face … "
Kirstein's voice became further and further away, and the tent became quiet again. Xiao Mu asked, "Khan, what should we do now?"
Mochiba stood up and slowly paced a few steps in the tent. He said in a deep voice, "Leave them alone for a few days! Chebichri, your tribe is located in the northeast. Quickly send an order back and send people to infiltrate Hebei to gather information! "
Chebichri immediately cupped his fists and replied, "Yes, Sir!" He then rushed out of the tent to make the arrangements.
Mochiba forced himself to be alert and smiled, "We cannot let go of this good opportunity. We must send troops and we must reap the benefits. The only difference is who to help. All tribes must continue to make preparations. Once we have a grasp of the situation in Hebei, we will immediately send troops! "
All the leaders agreed loudly!
…
When Yang Fan went to the Turkic Khaganate, he thought that as long as he defeated the Khitan envoy, he would be able to retreat. He did not expect Mochiba to be cunning and cautious like an old fox. Therefore, he had no choice but to temporarily stay in the Turkic Khaganate and temporarily become a nomad.
The next day, after the snow stopped, the Turkic Khaganate actually wanted to move to a new winter camp, which is a pastoral area.
Yang Fan originally thought that the herdsmen took advantage of the autumn to cut enough grass and pile it up to feed their livestock in the winter, just like the people in the Han settlements. However, the main means of production for the nomadic tribes was their livestock. They had too many livestock, and it was impossible to rely on manpower to accumulate enough food and grass for them. Therefore, many tribes had to switch to grazing in the winter.
The grass here had almost been eaten up by their livestock, so they had to move to another pastoral area soon. There was very little water there, and they had to pass through several Gobi regions. There was nothing but sand and stones along the way, so they had a lot of things to prepare.
Early in the morning, the Turkic Khaganate started to make preparations. They have been preparing for a full half a month. At this time, they are only doing the final preparations before the migration. The whole tribe is busy and Yang Fan, Maqiao, Gu Zhuting and the rest are standing there watching the bustle.
Loading the carts, loading the camels, driving the horses, gathering the sheep … …
Loading the firewood and grass, which are the fuel for the journey and food for the livestock, followed by packing the snow and ice, which are the drinking water for the journey. Yang Fan can't help but glance worriedly at Gu Zhuting. Along the way, this clean lady might not be able to bathe as extravagantly as she did last night … …
The vanguard has already set off. Their mission is to set up the tents before the main group arrives at the campsite for the night. The camels, sheep, horses and cows will slowly follow behind the vanguard. At this moment, a group of people suddenly charged towards Yang Fan and the rest who are watching the Turkic Khaganate.
Gu Zhuting whispered into Yang Fan's ears: "Someone is coming, they seem to be the Khitans!"
Yang Fan smiled as he looked at the large flock of sheep and replied calmly: "I noticed them, ignore them!"
"You despicable Zhou people! You tried to deceive the Moqe Khaganate with your flowery words, you cowards! If you have the guts, fight us with real swords and spears … … "
Great Shaman Kirstan is so angry that he can't choose his words. His mouth is full of shouts in the Khitan language that Yang Fan can't understand. Leading a group of Khitan guards, he charged over aggressively.
The Turks who are preparing to change the battlefield noticed the commotion and stopped to watch. Seeing that the two parties preparing to fight are not their tribesmen, they became interested in watching.
Yang Fan smiled and turned back to Maqiao: "Have your skills been improving over the years?"
Maqiao stared at him and said proudly: "Do you want to have a spar? I think I'm even better than you were in the past! "
Yang Fan said with a smile, "Alright then! You go, I don't care about the casualties, I only want speed. I want to see how long you can take to defeat them! Don't let that guy with the pheasant feather on his head die, I think he is the leader! "
Maqiao said excitedly: "Good! Watch me! "
After Maqiao finished, he unsheathed his sword and charged towards the Khitan people.
Yang Fan said to Gu Zhuting who is on the other side: "You take care of them!"
Gu Zhuting nodded her head and floated forward, following behind Maqiao. She did not unsheathe her sword and only moved along with Maqiao. Once a Khitan weapon broke through Maqiao's defense and reached his side, she unsheathed her sword and accurately tapped it to deflect the enemy's weapon. After that, she sheathed her sword and followed behind Maqiao.
With someone protecting him, Maqiao can attack without any hesitation. In this kind of fight, he used the fighting techniques of the pugilistic world. In a battlefield with thousands of soldiers and horses, this kind of martial arts is not very useful. Although compared to ordinary soldiers, this kind of fighting technique can make the user stronger, it is not a fundamental method.
However, in this kind of situation, fighting a dozen Khitan people will increase his power greatly. Maqiao's sword whizzed around, as if it was wrapped around his body. From time to time, there will be a flash of blood. Yang Fan is beating the rhythm for him from behind. When he counted to 29, more than a dozen Khitan people have fallen to the ground, either dead or injured. Only Grand Shaman Kirstan is left!
Gu Zhuting watched excitedly. She unsheathed her sword and with a flick of her sword, the pheasant feathers on Grand Shaman Kirstan's head were cut into pieces and fell down.
At this moment, the Turks who had watched enough rushed forward to pull the Khitan people away. Many Turks cheered loudly for Yang Fan and the rest, praising their bravery. Many martial men gave Maqiao a thumbs up. Maqiao wiped the bloody sword on the clothes of a Khitan person, then sheathed the sword and walked back proudly.
"I curse you! I curse you! "
Grand Shaman Kirstan, who was only proficient in Khitan and Turkic languages and stuttered in Chinese, cursed angrily.
In the distance, on a spacious carriage pulled by eight oxen, Mochi watched this scene coldly. His in-law, Mu En, who was sitting beside him, said, "If the Khitans really have the upper hand in Hebei, they shouldn't be so impatient. It seems that the situation in Hebei is really disadvantageous to them!"
Moche gently put down the curtain and replied indifferently, "Let's wait for news from Chebicli first!"
