In the morning, the sky was clear and in the grass by the river, a large group of cattle and sheep were eating grass leisurely. Smoke rose from the tent group not far away. From a distance, this was a normal nomadic scene, but the gathering of a large number of cavalry next to the tent group meant that something was wrong.

Outside a large tent, more than twenty armored soldiers were arranged in two rows on the left and right. Gao Yi, wearing armor, stood in the middle and carefully looked at the tent in front of him.

Unlike most of the tents next to it, this tent is sewn from cloth with beautiful patterns and is integrated into one. Unlike other tents that use various rags to piece together, it looks like rags.

The cooking utensils used in the tent to cook food turned out to be a good-quality iron pot.

Not only did the chiefs use iron pots, but many tribes also used iron pots. Although the clothes worn on the outside were covered with ragged leather jackets, the inside was brand new cloth, which was of good quality.

Not only that, the mutton soup used to treat guests in hastily added snow-white salt to season, and also prepared tea that is said to be able to relieve greasiness.

Gao Yi looked at the Khitan tribe chief who was smiling in front of him, and understood a little.

This Khitan tribe was engaged in business with the Zhou people, and the scale of the transaction was quite large, so it could afford iron pots, good cloth, salt, and tea produced in the Central Plains.

Being able to trade with the Zhou people means that this tribe performed well at least, so the Zhou Kingdom allowed them to obtain iron products such as iron pots.

Then, these people are very likely to inform the people of Zhou and expose their whereabouts.

"Sit." Gao Yi said in awkward Khitan language, sitting around the bonfire in the tent with the Khitan chief and his sons, eating the mutton cooked in the iron pot, and talking about family matters.

Two years ago, Gao Yi, as a member of the Goguryeo royal family, followed the king to the west to the Zhou Kingdom, with the goal of the Zhou Kingdom's important town in western Liaoning, Yingzhou Liucheng. At that time, the army set out in a mighty manner, passed through Liaoze, arrived at this place on the northern foot of Yiwulu Mountain, and encountered a nomadic Khitan tribe.

At that time, the Khitan tribe sent people to help the war, and its chief was the smiling man in front of him.

Gao Yi no longer remembers the name of the chief. The Khitan tribe is everywhere, so he doesn't need to remember it so clearly. He even doesn't bother to remember what clan tribe this tribe belongs to.

However, he still has an impression of the other person's appearance, and the other person also remembers him, so he has the basis of "reminiscing the past".

Gao Yi led thousands of cavalry to set off from Liaodong City, advanced westward through Liaoze North Road, passed Yiwulu Mountain, and passed here again. Of course, he did not come to find relatives and friends. He wanted to take advantage of the time when the Zhou people were careless and attacked Liucheng in Yingzhou. Even if he could not attack, he would give the other party a "surprise".

In the past two years, the Zhou army has been raiding Liaodong, destroying farmlands on a large scale, and even crossing the sea, going upstream along the river and surrounding Pyongyang. It is very arrogant. Gao Yi, as a royal family, couldn't swallow this, so he mobilized elite troops to attack and teach the other party a lesson.

He wanted the Zhou people to know that his side did not only have the ability to fight back but no strength to fight back.

The risk of doing this is very high, but the Zhou people are likely to neglect the precautions because the army has just withdrawn, so Gao Yi decided to take a gamble.

But now, he feels that the goal may change.

Gao Yi is now at the location of the Khitan tribe, located at the northern end of the Yiwulu Mountains. The Yiwulu Mountains generally travel from north to south. Here he can continue to march westward, then turn southwest, about 300 miles away, and reach Liucheng.

Or, walk south along the west side of the Yiwulu Mountains here, about 150 miles away, and is the Changli City of Zhouguo by the White Wolf Water.

Going to Changli is closer than going to Liucheng, but Changli is not as important as Liucheng. Gao Yi was "visiting" this Khitan tribe today and suddenly realized one thing: the Zhou people seemed to be bribing the Khitan and Xi tribes outside Yingzhou by opening border cities.

This means that if these tribes find any changes, they may inform the people of Zhou.

In this way, his team's whereabouts will be exposed and the effect of the surprise attack will be gone.

The best way is to kill people to silence the victim, but Gao Yi was a little hesitant because he came to conduct a sneak attack this time, whether it succeeds or not, he would not stay in Yingzhou. Then slaughtering a few Khitan tribes would only make other Khitan tribes stand firmly on the side of Zhou.

In this way, if they want to launch troops against Yingzhou in the future, they are afraid that no one will come to help, and it will be a bad thing.

The Khitan tribes were weak, which was nothing compared to the Marine tribes. If it were in the past, Gao Yi would not have been so entangled. But the situation is different now. In order to do everything possible to constrain the Zhou State, he felt it was necessary to win over the Khitan tribes outside Yingzhou.

At least we should make the other side please both sides, instead of turning our hearts to Zhou State.

Therefore, the target he was going to attack changed from Liucheng to Changli. In this way, even if these Khitans secretly informed them, they would only mislead the Zhou people to make wrong judgments.

Changli City is less than a hundred miles south. Now you can start an attack in the early morning tomorrow. After you succeed, you will retreat immediately. At that time, these Khitans will have no chance to make trouble.

On the contrary, they would be blamed or even questioned by the Zhou people for providing wrong information.

Gao Yi weighed the pros and cons in his heart, and then made a decision in a short while. He made a request to the chief with a smile, asking the other party to send someone to lead the way. It would be easier for him to fool him when he encountered a cross-examination on the way, so that the official army could approach Liucheng, Yingzhou.

Seeing the chief nodding in a hurry, he said that he would arrange someone to be a guide after a while, and enthusiastically asked him and the soldiers to rest before leaving. Gao Yi smiled with relief when he heard this, but he was sneering in his heart:

Have a rest before leaving? Do you want to send someone to Liucheng to inform us first?

Regardless of whether the other party was planning to inform him or not, Gao Yi decided to set off again in a while so that the soldiers and horses could rest. They were indeed a little tired when they traveled a long distance.

After the rest and set off, the destination was not Liucheng, but Changli to the south. He wanted to give the Zhou people a "surprise".

Before he knew it, a large pot of meat soup had already come to an end. Gao Yi declined the chief's suggestion to drink tea to relieve his greasiness. First, he was not used to drinking bitter leaf water from the Central Plains.

The second is to prevent the other party from poisoning.

He and the chief and his sons ate a pot of meat together, so he was not afraid of the other party's poisoning, but the tea served was separated, so who knew if someone would be touched?

Seeing the chief and his sons drinking tea with relish, Gao Yi was a little curious: What is the best water from this bitter leaves?

After a while, Gao Yi felt bloating and his stomach roared. He suddenly thought of Gong, as if he was eating too greasy and his stomach couldn't stand it.

It is useless to drink tea to relieve greasiness at this time. You have to find a place to "convenient", otherwise it would be embarrassing to pull it in your crotch.

Gao Yi quickly found a "good place" and surrounded the persuasion. In case of accidents, he took off his pants and squatted on the ground. After a while, "thunder sounded."

After enjoying her heart, Gao Yi was "relieved" and was about to turn away, but he felt something was wrong with his stomach: it was coming again!

After squatting down, after a while, my stomach just slowed down and began to bloat again.

After several consecutive "cracking" times, Gao Yi's legs became numb and a little soft. He thought to himself that he had eaten uncooked mutton and had a stomachache. Just when a new round of "cracking" sounds started, a loud noise suddenly came from outside.

The loud noise came suddenly, like thunder thunder storm on the ground.

Then there is the second, the third, and then there are the thunder sounds one after another.

Now there is no cloudless, it cannot be thunder. Gao Yi is familiar with the sound, which is the movement made when the thunder explodes.

The shouts of killing and the neighing of horses all around mean that something was wrong.

Gao Yi was shocked and ran out with his pants. As soon as he tied up his belt, his stomach started to gulp again. Before he could decide what to do, a "crackling" sound came from his crotch, and then a foul stinking came to his nose.
