Chapter 388: The Turkic Royal Court

On September 16, the first year of Qichang, Dashun Dynasty, the weather was clear.

The weather is getting colder and for the north, the first snow will fall at any time, and the long winter will span next year until after March and April.

Time can no longer be delayed. Although the soldiers of Shunchao are not short of military rations for the time being, they lack the cold things to protect themselves from winter and the experience of fighting in extremely cold weather. Liu Yu did not want the soldiers of Shunchao to hate themselves in the northern grasslands. What he could call was the 300 most brave soldiers among the Shunchao soldiers. These were also the heroes who followed Huo Bing thousands of miles to attack Jin Yaocheng. Today they were also given a mission to assassinate the Turkic Khan.

There is only one chance, and if you fail, you will be successful.

More than 300 soldiers from Shun Dynasty mixed in a team of nearly 500 people in Huliqin to the center of the Turkic royal court, because the people in the Central Plains and the Grassland people were roughly the same in appearance, and they had clothes and dressed up. It was basically enough to learn one or two sentences of emergency Turkic language. There are many Turkic languages, and the language used by Huliqinren is the Southern Turkic local language system, which is different from the language system used by the Khan tribe. Even Huliqinren is rarely proficient in more than two languages, and just pretend to be mute when encountering difficulties.

On this day, something important happened to the Turkic royal court. Almost all tribes were summoned, not like to denounce the tribe of sesame and green beans. Liu Yu judged from the rush of scouts flying cavalry that the central army led by Hua Ji'an had already fought with the most outer defense forces of the Turkic royal court, and the Turks should have known that the danger was coming.

As a "prisoner", Timur was escorted among the crowd. The prerequisite for her to become a prisoner was to keep it within three feet of Liu Yu. She did not believe in Huli Qinhan like an old fox, nor did she believe in Shunchao people. Now she only believes in Liu Yu.

The closer he got to the inside of the royal court, the slower the team was, because there were more and more people, and Qinri Shin seemed to hesitate. He felt like he was going to go to the trouble, and he had to go but not return.

"Huliqinhan, you should understand that we have no way out now. If you act rashly, we will not only not become allies, but you will also be killed by us immediately. Your tribe members will not be spared." Liu Yu said with a cold face when Huliqinhan saw Huliqinhan's hesitation.

Huliqinhan looked at Liu Yu, feeling a little regretful about taking in Liu Yu and Timur in his tribe. At that time, he thought he was just a young boy, but who would have thought that he would come to assassinate Tian Khan so fiercely. Even if there were frequent bloody coups within the Khan tribe, it was just a matter of the Khan tribe. In the Turks, the Khan tribe represented the largest tribe, that is, the "Datou" tribe, among the Turks. The population of the Datou tribe is almost the sum of the population of the other three tribes, which is also the basis for the Datou tribe to establish a unified regime in the Turks.

The group walked nearly twenty miles northward. Finally, after noon, they saw a huge flag raising high in the sky, with several eagles flying on the flag. Liu Yu looked up and saw that it was about a mile away from the flagpole. It should be the center of the royal court and the destination this time. Victory was in sight, but they were stopped by teams of Turkic cavalry.

Huliqinhan was very nervous when he saw the cavalry of the Khan army and was guilty of being a thief. This time he came to the court not to be a traitor but to commit crimes and seek death. He had to whisper and come forward to negotiate. The people led the cavalry seemed to have no intention of blaming the team of troops. After all, there were only more than 500 people, and there were thousands of soldiers and horses in Wang Ting Khan army, and they were all the most sophisticated cavalry.

Soon Huli Qinhan brought back the instructions of the Turkic cavalry: "Let us hand over the bow and arrow, but we can bring our swords inside."

Liu Yu nodded to show that he understood that the people in the Turkic royal court were also afraid of long-term attack weapons such as bows and arrows. As for swords, they were weapons of close combat after all, and as long as this pair of people was at a disadvantage, it would be difficult to cause trouble.

The Shunchao soldiers in the team were carrying bows and quiveres like Huliqinren. At this time, they were asked to hand over and piled the bows and quivers together. The Turkic cavalry took them away, so that they could make a way out to let them enter. Liu Yu thought he had been half successful, but after entering, he found that there was some riots inside the Turkic royal court, and people from various tribes gathered over and seemed to be quarreling.

"The Khan tribe wants to punish the Daldo tribe and Buli tribe who colluded with the enemy in the Battle of Shunchao, as if there was a little change."

The Dardo tribe ranks fourth among the four major tribes, while the Buli tribe is the fifth largest tribe outside the four major tribes. Tian Khan had to deal with two major tribes at one time, so it was no wonder that people from other tribes would have criticism.

Because the inner defense of the royal court was tight, the team could not get close to the aristocratic tent group where the flagpole was located, surrounded by wooden stakes and fences. Some situations could be seen from a distance with a telescope.

"Who are they going to execute?" Liu Yu said after taking a few glances.

"That's my father and my tribe." Timur snatched Liu Yu's telescope and said with tears in his voice, "There are some khans from other tribes, not only our Daldo tribe and Buli tribe, what should Tian Khan do?"

"You mean your father is there, Dardo Khan?" Liu Yu asked, and saw Timur nodding with a sad face, and asked again, "The other elders of your tribe... I mean, are the senior leaders here too?"

Timur nodded again in a hurry.

"Then find someone to spread the news quickly, and just say that Timur is here, and you Huliqin people have been arrested!"

Finally, I have to use the Timur card. As for whether this is an ace Liu Yu doesn't know yet, it depends on how much the people of the Datou tribe attach to the grassland flower of the Datou tribe. Liu Yu thought that if he was Tian Khan, he would be happy to learn that Dardo Khan's only daughter was caught now. After all, Dardo Khan has no son, and this daughter is the hostess of the future Dardo tribe. With her, there is no need to slaughter the Dardo tribe as troubled.

Population is also a resource.

After conveying the message, I waited for about half an hour. Finally someone came out to send a message, allowing Huliqin to escort Timur into the wooden fence. This was equivalent to passing through the second defense inside the royal court. Only an internal external defense network was left to the tent where Tian Khan was located, and then facing Tian Khan's personal guards.

Two barriers.

As soon as they came in, before the people were standing firm, the group escorted a Turkic general wearing armored braids into the wooden fence. Whether it was Huliqinren or other tribes, they had to make way for these people to pass. Seeing the Turkic general wearing armored clothes and looked covered in blood, they should have just returned from the front-line battlefield.

The lively tribes pointed at the fun of other tribes, and Huliqinhan translated: "They said that if they were beaten like this by the Shunchao people, they deserved to be executed by Tian Khan."

Even the defeated Turks still had a sense of pride and thought they were superior. This sense of superiority seemed very blind to Liu Yu. This general fought bloody battle with the Shunchao people, but he received ridicule from these people who were sitting behind enemy lines. Liu Yu was not worth it for him.

The general was escorted into a large white tent that was several stories high. Not long after, the man was escorted out again and beheaded in public. Even his head was hung up. Then these soldiers from the law enforcement team of the swords and axes went outside to escort the defeated generals in, and they were busy back and forth.

After the team came in, they could only squeeze into the huge open space. There were tens of thousands of people waiting in the open space, as if they were waiting for some important instructions. Liu Yu learned from Timur that every winter after the tribes gathered around the royal court, there were usually one or two such gatherings.

After a while, several messengers came. After seeing Timur who was tied up again, they brought the orders of Tian Khan.

"Tian Khan recruited us Huliqin people and escorted Timur into the big tent to talk. We could only go in at the same time thirty people." Huliqinhan finished speaking to Liu Yu with a sad face. In his opinion, Tian Khan's order was equivalent to verdicting Huliqin's death sentence. (To be continued...)
