AWB Chapter 63 Shibi Khan, I've come to find you!
Chapter 63 Shibi Khan, I've come to find you!
Upon hearing this, Yuwen Huaji's face instantly darkened, and he glared at his son with hostility, instinctively rolling up his sleeves.
If this rebellious son dares to utter a single word of desire, he'll make sure the brat goes to see his great-grandmother ahead of schedule today!
"How could I dare? He's my father, my dearest family member."
Besides, with my abilities, I am not qualified to hold the position of Prime Minister.
Yuwen Chenglong said without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Yuwen Huaji's tense expression eased slightly.
This kid still has some conscience; he knows who the son and father are.
I think you can do it.
Pei Yuanqing, who had been mostly silent, suddenly came over and, for the first time, expressed his approval of Yuwen Chenglong.
"real?"
Yuwen Chenglong's eyes lit up instantly, as if he had discovered a new continent.
Even that simpleton Pei Yuanqing says he can do it?
Could it be that I truly possess the potential to become the prime minister?
"That's right!" He suddenly remembered his father's character.
Greedy for money and profit, flattering superiors, and eliminating dissidents.
What advantages does Yuwen Chenglong lack?
They might even surpass their predecessors!
If his father could become the prime minister and hold such a high position, why can't Yuwen Chenglong?
They are fully qualified!
The struggle between prime ministers has always been like this!
It is only natural for sons to follow in their fathers' footsteps!
At this moment, a seed called ambition quietly sprouted in Yuwen Chenglong's unusual mind.
"I also think you're capable."
Seeing Yuwen Chenglong's small eyes darting around, Lü Xiao knew that the Demon Orb had already set its sights on something.
Based on the principle of enjoying the spectacle and making things worse for Yuwen Huaji, he didn't hesitate to add fuel to the fire.
He cast the first vote in favor of Yuwen Chenglong's possible future attempt to usurp his father's throne.
"We'll talk about it later, we'll talk about it later."
Seeing that his father was looking for a knife, Yuwen Chenglong didn't dare to say anything more.
Everyone laughed and joked, showing no concern whatsoever about being on enemy territory.
In contrast, Li Jing's face was tense.
Even now, he still doesn't understand what the composition of this team is!
"Prefect Li, you seem distracted."
Seeing that Li Jing seemed unable to integrate into the group, Lü Xiao couldn't help but say something.
"A little."
Li Jing couldn't possibly lead eight hundred men deep into enemy territory and still be chatting and laughing in the valley.
"You still need to practice. You need to become a general with a big heart."
Lu Xiao patiently and earnestly tried to persuade him.
Although Li Jing is a top-notch military commander, it seems that his potential has not yet reached its limit.
"My lord, are we really going to capture Shibi Khan?"
At this point, Li Jing wanted to confirm it again.
"Do you think we're almost at Shibi Khan's doorstep, and we're here to visit Princess Yicheng?"
Lu Xiao countered with a question.
"But we only have eight hundred men, while the Turkic royal court has hundreds of thousands!"
With eight hundred against hundreds of thousands, Li Jing didn't know how to capture them.
Would Shibi Khan obediently come out and surrender?
"What's wrong with eight hundred men? Aren't our eight hundred men elite enough?"
Lu Xiao raised his head and said loudly.
In an instant, the surrounding soldiers swarmed around him, their aura incredibly fierce.
Some people immediately took off their shirts, revealing their dark muscles.
Some even picked up long spears and immediately showed them off to Li Jing.
Even the tiger rushed over and knocked Li Jing down.
Li Jing fell to the ground, clutching his forehead. What kind of people are these?
From top to bottom, not one of them is normal.
"Don't panic, I'll only teach you how to do this surprise attack once."
Lu Xiao helped Li Jing up and said with absolute confidence.
He had already planned it out: this time, the conquest of Shibi Khan would be divided into civil and military operations.
Wen secretly sneaked in and captured Shibi Khan.
If the writing isn't up to par, then don't blame him for going on a rampage.
Soon, night fell completely, and Lü Xiao and his group set off.
According to the previous decision, we would rest at night and travel during the day.
But now that they are getting closer to the Eastern Turkic court, more and more Turks are coming and going from the surrounding area.
This method is no longer effective; they have switched to traveling at night.
The roads are more difficult to navigate at night than during the day.
Even with Yuwen Chenglong leading the way, their progress was extremely slow.
Fortunately, they were not far from their destination. After traveling for another three days, they climbed to a high point and could see the Turkic royal court.
"We're here! We're here!"
Yuwen Chenglong descended from the height, his heart pounding with excitement.
Although Yang Guang did not speak, the light in his eyes was enough to tell his feelings.
A monumental feat of unparalleled merit is about to unfold before our eyes.
More importantly, he was the emperor, which meant he personally led the expedition.
None of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors could achieve this.
"Zi Lie!"
Yang Guang grabbed Lü Xiao's arm, which was already trembling uncontrollably.
He had never been so excited when the Turkic royal court was not yet in sight.
Now, he couldn't wait to kill his way out.
"Your Majesty, please calm down, please don't get agitated!"
Lu Xiao was relatively calm at the moment.
The peaches were right in front of me, but how to pick them became a problem.
They must discuss how to capture Shibi Khan while preserving the lives of their men as much as possible.
"Okay, let's discuss it first."
Yang Guang sat on the ground, closed his eyes, and repeatedly exhaled and inhaled.
Lu Xiao and his team were just one step away from achieving their goal.
Shibi Khan is in the same boat now.
Inside the Turkic royal court, cavalry from various tribes gathered.
According to statistics, they had more than 300,000 cavalry.
Since the establishment of the Turkic people, there has never been such a mighty and powerful army.
Moving south, the Turks were almost certain of victory.
"Brother, news has come from the south."
Just then, Ashina Duobi, along with his trusted followers, found Shibi Khan.
"What happened?"
At this moment, Shibi Khan was dressed in formal attire, preparing to lead a group of Turks in a grand ceremony to worship the heavens.
After the sacrificial ceremony to Heaven, he will officially lead 300,000 wolf riders south.
"A tribal cavalry unit that came to join us was intercepted and killed on the way."
Ashina Duobi had only recently received the news.
"Which tribe is it?"
Shibi Khan turned around, his expression somewhat solemn.
"They are a small tribe that recently went south to graze their livestock, and they are relatively close to Yanmen Pass."
Ashina Duobi stated the truth.
"Oh, ignore it. They must have been killed by the Sui Dynasty cavalry at Yanmen."
Shibi Khan's expression relaxed, and he continued to tidy up his clothes.
He thought it was their people who had been ambushed and killed, but it turned out it was people from Yanmen.
Yanmen is quite a distance from the royal court.
Even if the Sui Dynasty wanted to attack, it couldn't reach this place.
So there's absolutely nothing to worry about.
"However, we still need to be cautious..."
"Ashina Duobi!" Shibi Khan raised his hand and said sternly, "The sacrificial ceremony is imminent; do not disturb me with such a trivial matter!"
"Are you suggesting that the Sui Dynasty people would emulate Huo Qubing of the Western Han Dynasty and penetrate deep into the heart of our Turkic territory?"
