The prairie in April is still cold.

It was afternoon, and a gust of cold wind blew across the grassland and blew into the golden wolf tent, which made the hot tent baked by charcoal fire bring a coolness. The cool breeze blew on everyone, making people sleep warmly.

Although Princess Yicheng has been in the grassland for almost ten years, she has not followed the local customs. Over the years, she has maintained the costume of the Great Sui princess when she entered the grassland. She has a high bun, a wide-sleeved and long robe palace outfit, and her knowledgeable and polite words and deeds.

But ten years of life in the grassland changed her. She was no longer the royal family girl who had no worries about food and clothing and forced to say sorrow for new poems all day long. After entering the grassland, she had to remarry her ex-husband's son after her husband died. She also had to remind herself at all times that she represented the Great Sui Dynasty and that she had to consider the interests of the Great Sui Dynasty everywhere.

Since remarrying Shibi Khan, she has become more and more adapted to life on the grassland. She no longer stays in her own tent, but she has gradually participated in Shibi's meetings and the management of Tucheng. Now, she has taken the initiative to participate in the major events of the Turks.

Just like she now walked into the Golden Wolf Treasure, if Shibi Khan had not requested her, she would never have come here like this. But the more she participated, the more she could understand her mission. It was not that she had married into the grassland and fulfilled the mission given to her by the Great Sui Dynasty. On the contrary, entering the grassland was just her beginning.

Last year, the snow was white and the entire grassland was plagued by a great disaster. Now the tribes are looting each other, but this is just an act between small tribes. As far as she knows, several major tribes of the Turks are discussing a major action. The Turkic tribes are preparing to conquer the newly independent Kumoxi, while the Tiel tribes are preparing to go to war with the Tiel Khanate. This is a tacit matter. If you encounter such a great disaster, if you do not transfer the disaster to the court and the entire Eastern Turkic Khanate, you will suffer unbearable losses.

While these major tribes were preparing, Princess Yicheng heard a bad news. Many tribes close to the Sui Dynasty did not intend to go to Tielle in the north, or the Khitan in the east, or the Khitan in the east, to plunder. Tiel and Khitan, and Kumoxi were also grassland tribes.

Last year they also encountered a major disaster. They are now like the Turks, and they don’t have much wealth, but now they can’t grab anything.

The tribes close to the Great Sui Dynasty have joined forces at the si, preparing to form a large army to go south to rob grain, money, and women. For the Turks, although they have khans and khans, they are often independent. As long as they do not break the rules and arouse public anger, no one will interfere with you. If it were the Khan of Qimin a few years ago, he would definitely not allow anyone to rob the Great Sui Dynasty and destroy the relationship between the two sides.

But now, Shibi Khan is the leader of the Eastern Turks. Shibi Khan is not dissatisfied with the Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty.

Yang Guang not only destroyed the Wei tribe, but also rebelled against the Khitan tribe and the mohé tribe, but now secretly general Tiele and Kumo mocked the independence. He had killed his military advisor before, which made him very unhappy. All the leaders of the tribe knew that it would not take long before they would go to war with the Great Sui Dynasty. Now, it was just a matter of going in advance.

Princess Yicheng was shocked when she learned the news. She knew that if the Turkic cavalry really went south, then with the advantage of Turkic cavalry coming and going, they could have run back to the grassland after robbing, and then many people on the border would encounter a nightmare.

But such a thing cannot be stopped, even if she is Ke Dun, even Shibi Khan cannot be stopped. After thinking about it, since she cannot be stopped, why not be left alone? Anyway, the Turks' goal is to plunder and turn the Turks' current difficulties due to last year's snow disaster to other ethnic groups.

Then why not find a way to make them target other places instead of hitting Da Sui?

"Duodar shijin. Now our entire Turkic Khanate is facing such a dilemma. It is not only the Duodar shijin clan. This is also the reason why the Khan gathered all the leaders to the tent. Since you have arrived at the tent, why can't you wait to hear Khan's words and quarrel with each other here?" Princess Yicheng said softly.

"Listen to Dahan? But Dahan himself is the same as us. Can Dahan now share our cattle and sheep and let the Lou go back?" The leaders in the tent burst into laughter, and they all felt that Ke Dun was talking nonsense.

Princess Yicheng smiled but was not angry. After the leaders finished laughing, she continued to say, "Of course, Khan could not distribute cattle and sheep to you!" After pausing, the princess said, "But, Khan can take you to get cattle and sheep! Last year, the grassland disaster was not only the disaster of my Eastern Turks, but the Western Turks in the west, the Tiel Khanate that had just rebelled and relied on the north, the Kumoxi and Khitan in the east, and their situations were not much better than us."

"The Central Plains in the south were not affected by disaster. Could it be that the princess wanted us to the Central Plains to find the Emperor of Sui Dynasty to ask for cattle and sheep?" said a leader.

The Ababa troops' Shi Jin shook his braid on his head and laughed, "Maybe it's really possible. Don't forget that Ke Dun is the princess of the Great Sui Dynasty. Now the grassland is in trouble, so the family of the Great Sui Dynasty cannot ignore it. I think everyone should just join forces and go south to find the Great Sui Dynasty to ask for food!" The princess sank and said coldly, "The Great Sui Dynasty is indeed rich and has a lot of food and grass, but I'm afraid that the leaders will have the fate to go, but they will never return. Don't forget that the Great Sui Dynasty has wiped out one surrounding tribe after another in recent years, and it is the strong army and horses.

At this time, if you go to the Great Sui Dynasty at this time, I am afraid that the Great Sui Dynasty will give you the opportunity to destroy you." Shibi Khan was displeased when he saw the princess facing the Great Sui Dynasty in this way. "Why should Dun destroy his own prestige and become more ambitious to others? Ben Khan only saw that my father had a covenant with the Great Sui Dynasty, and had been so friendly to the Great Sui Dynasty over the years. However, the Great Sui Dynasty was not very friendly to me. He first took away the Khitan, and later destroyed Shiwei. Now he secretly supported and instigated Xue Yantuo and Kumoxi tribes, and even killed Ben Khan's military advisor.

The clay man also has a third temper. If Ke Dun doesn't persuade the Emperor of Sui, don't blame the Khan for not reciting the two families' agreement at that time!" "Why would Khan be shaken by some trivial matters? What's the most urgent thing now? The food matter is now. Although I am a woman, I also have an idea that may be able to solve today's problem." Shi Bi smiled, looking at the princess with a wine glass and playing tricks. "What are the good strategies for Ke Dun? Why should I tell you?"

"In the current situation, we can only solve our current problems through plunder by plundering. If we want to fight, we have to choose objects. Nowadays, there are only six choices: Western Turks in the west, Great Sui in the south, Tiel in the north, Kumoxi, Khitan and Shiwei in the east. At this time, regardless of the same reason, the Great Sui in the south is not desirable. Our purpose is food, not war. If we go south with plundering the Great Sui, it will inevitably lead to revenge from the Great Sui. With our current situation, this is an unwise behavior.,...

"The rest are grassland peoples, and they are in the same situation as ours. First of all, the Western Turks in the west can be ruled out, and these people have been moving westward under our pressure.

Raiding them, one is too far away, and two is that they are too weak now, not much robbery, and it is difficult to solve the problem."

"Apart from these two objects, there are only four choices: Tiele, Kumoxi, Khitan, and Shiwei. First of all, Shiwei cannot be chosen. Once Shiwei was destroyed, and now it is the territory of Chen Kefu, the rebel general of the Sui Dynasty, with only a few hundred thousand people, and they are all in various strong castles. If you want to seize their food, you must break the fortress and use cavalry to attack the fortress. This is a very unprofitable approach. So it can be ruled out!"

The leader in the tent looked at Ke Dun and talked for a long time, but after all, the rest were Tiele and Kumoxi who had been ready to fight, and couldn't help but laugh with some contempt.

Even Shibi Khan looked at Kedun with some disappointment, "Kedun may not know anything. The Tiel tribes in the north were already preparing to attack the Xueyantu tribe in the south of Yi, while the Turkic tribes in the south of our south were preparing to attack the Kumoxi tribe. Kedun analyzed for a long time, but there was nothing new!"

"No!" the princess shook her head. "Dear leaders, I have three choices left just now, Tiele, Kumoxi, and Khitan. My choice is exactly the opposite of everyone. I think we should attack Khitan!" The princess' words made Shibi Khan a little doubted, "Why?"

"There are three reasons: Tiel and Kumoxi, one in the south and one in the north. To conquer, we must divide the Turks into two armies and fight on both sides. This is not conducive to quick battle and quick decisions, and there is also the risk of failure.

Second, Tiele and Kumoxi are in the same situation as us. Even if the plunder is successful, they will not plunder much material. The third reason is that the Khitan was originally a part of my Eastern Turkic Republic, but later they went to the Great Sui Dynasty and then joined the Sui Dynasty. Now they have formed an alliance with Chen Kefu, the rebel general of the Sui Dynasty. And last year, the Khitans received a lot of material assistance from their ally Chen Kefu. If we plunder them, we can plunder more materials. Moreover, the Khitan had just passed the civil war of ten tribes before, and their vitality was damaged, so there would be no internal danger to fight the Khitan. In addition, they were in their position.

It happened to be in the eastern central part of our Eastern Turkic Republic, the southern Turkic division and the northern Tielite division were both equally distanced. We can form an army to attack together, and successfully compete and fight faster!" In the princess' heart, another important reason for choosing the Khitan is that the Western Turkic Republic, Tielle, and Kumoxi were all ally of the Great Sui Dynasty. However, the Khitan betrayed the Great Sui Dynasty and defected to the side of the Great Sui rebel general Chen Kefu. If we attack the Khitan this time, it would be equivalent to indirectly helping the Great Sui Dynasty weaken the strength of the Liaodong rebels, which is what she can do for the Great Sui Dynasty.

After listening to the princess' explanation, the leaders of all tribes became a little moved.

Shibi Khan was about to speak, but a Shiwei walked to his ear and whispered. After hearing this, Shibi Khan's face was unstable. After a while, he asked the Shiwei softly, "He really said he wanted to join forces with Ben Khan?"
