"Sir, there is someone in front of you." said a soldier.

Xue Rengui looked in the direction of the soldier's finger and found that there seemed to be someone in the grass. He bent his bow and arrow, aimed at the figure and said, "Come out quickly, otherwise you will be killed with one arrow!"

The figure did not move at all.

Xue Rengui walked forward and found that the man was dead. Then another corpse was found not far away.

Xue Rengui examined the wound and found that both of them were on the throat. The wound was very small, as if it was caused by a very narrow weapon.

The soldiers continued to search around and suddenly heard someone making a whimper. The soldiers found that a man was tied to the ground by four horses, with rags stuffed in his mouth.

Xue Rengui stepped forward and took off the rag from his mouth and asked, "Who are you? Why are you following us?"

The man said something in the room, but Xue Rengui and others couldn't understand a word, so he had to take him to catch up with Li You and others.

Xue Rengui briefly reported the situation to Li You.

Li You said: "Now I ask you something, you must answer truthfully. Otherwise, you will cut off your hands and feet and throw you here to feed the wolf."

The man explained the story. It turned out that they were a tribe under Xue Yantuo and a branch of the Yinan tribe. After Daisendari took office, he cleaned up the Yinan confidants. If they could be bought, they would be bought. If they could not be bought, they would be tried to get rid of them.

The leader of this small tribe was unwilling to defect to Daisendari, so he led his troops to escape here. When they saw someone passing by, they were worried that it was someone sent by Daisendari, so they sent someone to secretly follow him.

There were three people in total, two of them were attacked and killed. He was knocked out and tied up.

Li You asked: "What kind of people were the people who attacked you, and how many were there?

That said, "The young one didn't see clearly. However, there were not many people, and it seemed that there were women among them."

Xue Rengui said, "Prince, otherwise I will take someone to search again."

Li You shook his head and said, "From the behavior of those people, they are friends but not enemies. Since they are unwilling to show up, there is no need for us to search again."

He said, "White Tiger, go and bring Ashinaqing here."

The man was shocked when he saw Ashinaqing. He knelt down and said, "I have seen His Highness the Princess."

Ashin: "Who are you?"

The man said what he said to Li You again.

When he heard the man say that there are more than 10,000 people in this tribe, Ashi Naqing was a little moved.

Li You laughed in his heart and said, "Ashinaqing, how about it? Do you want these people? If you want them, go and recruit them. I will place them in Shengzhou. In the future, these people can help you fight back to Xueyantuo.

Although Ashinaqing is a woman, she is the daughter of Yi Nan after all. She has certain political wisdom after being influenced by Yi Nan.

She knew that she was empty-handed and wanted to take revenge was empty talk. With these people, although both young and old, women and children, she could gather at least three thousand soldiers, which was some kind of force. She could also increase her position in Li You's mind.

She said, "If you can trust me, I will recruit them and go to Shengzhou with you."

Li You smiled and said, "You go. Baihu, give them two horses."

Ashin followed that person.

Zhang Baogui asked, "Brother You, I just let her go. Aren't you afraid that she will run away?"

Li You smiled and said, "Isn't it better to run away? If she ran away, wouldn't we have no trouble? Besides, I think she will definitely come back."

Wang Xuance said: "I also think she will definitely come back."

Xue Rengui smiled and didn't say anything.

Although the soldiers didn't understand why, they knew that everything the prince said was definitely correct.

Didn’t Ashi Naqing really think about escaping?

She thought about it, but where could she go? Daisendari was arresting her. In this case, this tribe could not accept her. Even if someone accepted her, what could she do with such a small tribe?

Not long after, Ashin Qing came back. She brought a middle-aged man in his 30s. This man was Ashin Qing's distant uncle named Ashin Qing.

Asunaqing introduced them.

Ashina bowed heavily and said, "I have met His Highness the King of Qi. His Highness the Princess has told me that the Tang Dynasty can take in the subordinates of the ministers. I am willing to follow the prince and go to Shengzhou together."

Li You said: "Wang Xuance, you should take the lead and inform the governor of Shengzhou to prepare to accept these tribes. The resettlement fee for the imperial court will be allocated later."

Seeing Li You doing things with decisiveness, Ashinaqing and Ashina Hongliang were both very happy.

He took in Asunaqing and immediately received the effect of dismantling Xueyantuo.

Not long after, Li You and others took Ashina's bright tribe and continued to move forward.

Hou Cheng has not been mentioned here, what did he do?

It turned out that half a month ago, when Li You saw that the overall situation was settled, he sent Hou Cheng to Chang'an to report the news.

On that day, Hou Cheng and others came to the vicinity of Shengzhou, passed through a Gobi Desert in front, and entered the boundary of Shengzhou.

The night is hazy and the moonlight is calm. Yesterday's strong wind blew, and only a little remains of snow on the Gobi Desert. The residual snow left an intermittent white pattern on the black next door, which looked very strange.

Tonight, there was no wind, and the Gobi Desert was extremely quiet.

At midnight, a sound of horse hooves broke the tranquility here. Three knights led two horses and were slowly moving.

The leader was Hou Cheng, and the other two were guards and guides. Yesterday's strong wind delayed their trip, so Hou Cheng decided to rush tonight overnight.

Suddenly, a long wolf howl came from a distance, which seemed extremely shrill in the quiet night sky.

"Not good, there are packs of wolves." The guide said anxiously.

Sure enough, a group of wolves appeared not far away, and their eyes were shining with a cold light.

Hou Cheng asked, "Didn't this generation have no wolves?"

He was right. This is at the foot of a branch of Yinshan Mountain. Wolves usually move on the grassland and rarely come here. However, blizzards occurred in many places this year, and many livestock on the grassland froze to death. The wolves could not find enough food, so they wandered around, and happened to be caught up by Hou Cheng and others.

Hearing Hou Cheng's words, the guide said, "I don't know. Get out of here quickly."

Without saying a word, Hou Cheng whipped a whip hard, rushed out, and the three of them ran forward desperately.
