Chapter 74 The Threat of the Vulgar Flow

Xi Mingming and the other two braved the wind and snow to rush towards the interior, hoping to return to Yunnei County before New Year's Eve. Aunt Fang and the children were waiting for her to go back and celebrate the New Year.

Five days had passed since they left the tent, and Li Jing and Yuchi Jingde were still in high spirits.

A golden eagle fluttered above the three people's heads from time to time. The little guy had not really grown into a bird of prey yet. After fluttering for a while, he would rest on Xi Mingming's shoulder, nestling in her neck and rubbing against her, acting coquettishly.

From time to time, he turned his head to challenge the other two, his eyes showing disdain that he couldn't hide at all. It was as if he was saying, "You are useless. You only know how to follow my master around."

The golden eagle was a gift from Shibi Khan to Xi Zongzhu during a banquet. In just a few days, he had established a deep relationship with Xi Mingming.

The three men were followed by more than 500 Turkic slaves, who were actually people from the Central Plains who were brutally abducted by the Eastern Turks.

They were driving three hundred horses and two thousand lambs.

Li Jing and Yuchi Jingde heard that it was Master Xi who exchanged these livestock for copying a particularly powerful martial arts secret book.

.

Yuchi Jingde almost suffered internal injuries along the way, and the three of them finally walked out of Harhelin.

He then asked in a muffled voice: "Master, why did you bring me and Brother Li with you?"

.

The battle between Master Xi and Bi Xuan was earth-shaking, and neither of them could say who was the winner in the end... When Li Jing and Yuchi Jingde followed the Turkic troop to find the two, the two were already holding wine jugs and chatting and laughing in the moonlight.

On the surface, it seems like they met too late.

When the two were fighting, they ran directly away from the tent, hundreds of miles away, to avoid the violent waves from hurting innocent people.

.

After the battle, Shibi Khan personally hosted a banquet.

In front of Shibi Khan and a group of Eastern Turkic nobles in the Khan's court, the Xi clan leader went crazy under the influence of alcohol.

Starting from Wuyuan County bordering the Eastern Turks in the north, to Dingxiang County in the east, and including Honghua County and Shuofang County in the southwest, and now Mayi County, Yanmen County, and Loufan County, they will all be taken into Xi's possession!

Please... hiccup... everyone here, those who have planted stakes in these territories, please evacuate them immediately.

Otherwise, once Xi takes action, it won’t be as simple as killing a few people.

For example, people like Zhao Deyan's junior brother Liang Shidu, hurry up and leave. If Xi encounters such people next time, then... it will definitely not be enough to just destroy my martial arts.

.

In a word, if the Eastern Turks wanted to move south again, they would either have to go through the Hexi Corridor and engage in close combat with the Li Tang regime that was about to rebel, or go through the Western Turks and fight a battle with Shekui Khan first.

.

There is also another option, which is to fight with Sect Leader Xi.

At the banquet, Sect Leader Xi laughed so hard that the nobles felt cold on their backs: "I may not be good at fighting, but I am definitely good at killing people. Sometimes I really want to see whether the army advances faster or I kill the generals faster."

.

If this tactic is used against the army during the unification of the Central Plains, it will not change any results at all and the battle will continue the same even if the generals are replaced.

After all, no individual can stop the general trend, and war depends on the overall national strength.

The grassland situation is special.

The Eastern Turks were composed of many large and small tribes. Shibi Khan was the "Great Khan", and the leaders of various tribal forces were called "Shijin" or "Small Khan".

Each tribe would send out soldiers to fight in the war, with generals leading warriors from their respective tribes, following the main army to fight everywhere and share the fruits of victory.

Xi Mingming wanted to stop them at the fortress. If he came, he would kill one leader at a time, and if he came, he would kill a pair of the two little khans. In the end, wouldn't that be equivalent to giving his own tribe to Shibi Khan for nothing?

Who is willing to do it?

.

This move is really vulgar.

Kedazhi, the knife-wielding young man who had just begun to admire Xi Mingming, suddenly raised his eyes after hearing these words, his eyes full of disbelief.

Is this the Grand Master?

What kind of grandmaster is this?

If Xi Mingming had paid attention to Kedazhi, he would have discovered that the boy's expression at this moment was especially like that of a fan in his previous life who discovered that he had followed a creepy guy and felt embarrassed as if he had a criminal record on the social platform.

All the nobles at the scene looked as if they had eaten mutton with maggots. When they looked closely, they realized that they had eaten more than half of it.

This taste is absolutely amazing.

I don’t want to see Xi Mingming again in this life.

.

What can you say? Are you trying to make sense?

This young martial arts ceiling is drunk, how can you reason with him?

Never mind whether the grandmaster realm exists or not, just tell me whether they gave you a way out?

You want to make trouble, even if you send out a large army, it's hard to say whether you can capture her. If you really let her run away, you won't dare to close your eyes for the rest of your life.

.

That's how it is.

Yuchi Jingde reviewed the situation over and over again, but could not find any role for Li Jing and his companions.

The big black-faced man looked behind him. The five hundred slaves rescued by the patriarch could still help the patriarch drive horses and sheep. What use were they?

Xi Mingming tilted his head and asked Li Jing, who had been silent the whole time, "What about you? What do you think?"

What do you think of my claim to occupy the territory? Are you going to the capital to inform on me? What do you think of the situation in East Turkestan? What are your observations on the terrain along the way? What is your assessment of the East Turkestan's combat power?

.

Li Jing looked back at the Turkish tent behind him, his eyes full of regret, "The imperial soldiers before the three expeditions to Goguryeo were able to fight; if the leader was a famous general, he could win."

Xi Mingming gave an awkward yet polite smile.

Your emperor has lost all his advantages.

Li Jing's face was more solemn than ever before. "Brother Jingde and I have been drinking with the heroes from various Eastern Turkic tribes these days, and we have learned a lot of news."

Yuchi Jingde: It’s not that I don’t have it, I just don’t understand Turkish.

Li Jing said solemnly: "If the Eastern Turks want to gather troops and march south, they can mobilize hundreds of thousands of elite troops at any time."

.

During the "Siege of Yanmen", Shibi Khan claimed to have an army of hundreds of thousands, but experienced generals would not believe it. Li Jing followed the governor and fought against a small group of Turkic forces, and the troops he encountered were not elite.

Shibi Khan had no intention of actually engaging in a major war with the Central Plains. The Western Turkic Khan Shekui was preparing his troops on the sidelines, and the Tiele tribes were ready to make a move.

If the Eastern Turks rashly went to war with the Sui Dynasty and got stuck in a war of attrition, their rear would likely be unstable.

Shibi Khan went south to avenge Yang Guang's instigation of the Eastern Turks and to plunder resources. His goal was achieved, and reinforcements from various parts of the Sui Dynasty arrived one after another, so Shibi Khan withdrew his troops calmly.

.

Li Jing looked towards the capital, his eyes full of worry: "Shibi Khan is ambitious, and the Eastern Turkic tribes are eyeing the Central Plains covetously."

As Li Jing continued to speak, Yuchi Jingde's mood gradually became more profound.

He hit the nail on the head: "Master, intimidation can only calm people down for a while."
