Chapter 197: Li Kun is as old as ever to Han
On this day, Zhu Li and the others were walking between naked stones and eroded rocks. A scout who was responsible for detecting the movements of the Khitans suddenly came to report that the Khitans several miles away seemed to have suddenly fought with another wave of people, and the battle was very tragic.
Zhu Li was overjoyed when she heard this, and then her face suddenly became solemn again, and she asked, "Who is the one who fought with the Khitans? Have you seen clearly what direction they came from?"
When the scout heard this, he lowered his head and thought for a while, stretched out his tongue, licked his chapped lips, and then continued: "General, I don't know who the person is, but I can confirm that the other party came from the northwest."
"Can they be Uighurs in the northwest?" Zhu Li frowned when she heard this.
Judging from the information given to him by Guo Qizuo, the herdsmen who wandered the most near the Great Gobi Desert are the Uighurs. It can also be said that around the Great Gobi Desert is an uncrowned country of the Uighurs.
Zhu Li's guess was heard in the ears of the scout, and he quickly explained: "General, those people are definitely not Uighurs. Most of the subordinates are familiar with the Uighurs, but these people have a special appearance."
"Special?" Zhu Li raised her head in confusion and glanced at him.
The scout did not dare to neglect and quickly continued: "Yes, General, most of these alien races have red hair and green eyes, and a few of them have black hair and black eyes. If they don't look at the skin color, they will be exactly the same as our Tang people."
The alien race with red hair and green eyes are also mixed with black hair and black eyes. Zhu Li only heard one of the alien races that are described in this way, that is, the Likun people.
The Gekun race appeared in history, and the earliest record was that during the Qin Dynasty, they were destroyed by the Huns once, and the name of Gekun was no longer mentioned.
The inheritance was passed down to the end of the Tang Dynasty, and most people in the Central Plains called them the Lord Gas people, or the Kyugas people.
When he heard that it was a Ge Kun man, Zhu Li couldn't help but feel interested, and waved his hand and said, "Let's go over and take a look."
Since it was Zhu Li's decision, the soldiers were all indifferent. The group immediately rode their horses to the place where the Khitans and the Gekun people fought several miles away.
The distance is closer and the battle situation is clear at a glance.
The Khitans wasted two or three months in the Gobi Desert. Their ability to find water and food may not be as good as Zhu Li and others. They were tortured by hunger and hunger. With such a mental state, how could they be the opponent of the Gekun people? What's more, this is a Gekun elite with a complete camel fleet.
Thousands of people were shot dead by the Gekun people on the spot, and thousands more, along with Yanmujin, were captured by Yueli Xinjin.
Seeing Zhu Li's arrival from afar, the two women looked at him viciously, then lowered their heads, not knowing what they were thinking about.
The appearance of Zhu Li and his group of people also shocked the people of the Li Kun, but after the other party looked at them, several Li Kun people with black hair and black pupils, walked up with a look of confusion with several Li Kun warriors with red hair and green pupils.
One of the people, Li Kun, walked straight out of the crowd and walked towards Zhu Li.
Zhu Li dismounted and waved her hand to indicate that other fangs did not need to follow. She also walked towards the Likun man alone. When she got closer, three or four steps away, the Likun man with black hair and black eyes spoke fluent Chinese and bowed, "May I ask, is your Tang army?"
Zhu Li didn't dare to neglect her, and immediately bowed and said, "That's right."
"Ah, haha, you are Tang Jun, haha, it's Tang Jun, we are our own people, our own people." When he heard that Zhu Li was indeed Tang Jun, and the outfits of Zhu Li and others were all in the style of Tang Jun, the people who came had no doubts and laughed happily.
Zhu Li couldn't help but smile. The Gekun tribe. He heard Guo Qizuo introduce it. It was one of the few ethnic groups in the northern alien race that was very close to the Tang court.
This is a semi-agricultural and semi-animalized nation.
During the Han Dynasty, the country established by Gekun was conquered by the Xiongnu Shanyu Maodun; Han Wu attacked the Xiongnu from afar, and Li Ling, a famous general, was defeated and surrendered. He was appointed as the Right King by the Xiongnu and was ordered to manage the Gekun clan at that time.
Li Ling was a hero. He was in the homeland of the Huns. Most of the local Gekun people were influenced by Li Ling and were also interested in the Han Dynasty. Later, the Gekun clan could not bear the oppression of the Huns and joined forces with the Dingling clan at that time to resist the rule of the Huns.
At that time, Emperor Wu of Han was in power and was determined to fight the Northern Expedition. The Han Dynasty finally defeated the Xiongnu, the Gekun clan, and the descendants of Li Ling, and thus escaped the rule of the Xiongnu.
During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, Gekun Shanyu came to the court and called himself a descendant of Li Ling. He also recognized his relatives with Emperor Taizong, which made a legend. In their words, the Tang Dynasty was their brotherly country. They and the royal family of the Tang Dynasty originated from their common ancestor Li Ling. How could they not be friendly and helpful to each other?
So when he heard that Zhu Li confessed to being a Tang army, this man with black hair and black eyes, was so happy.
Everyone may be very unfamiliar with Li Ling, but when it comes to his grandfather Li Guang, everyone should be familiar with him. Yes, Li Ling is Li Guang's grandson.
Li Ling surrendered to the Huns and indeed left behind many descendants. The Li Mu clan, the Grand Tutor of the Later Zhou Dynasty, was one of them. Among the Li Kun clan, the Li Kun people with black hair and black pupils were also descendants of Li Ling.
"Hey, the young general of the Tang Dynasty, here is Li Han, the emperor of the Li family of your Tang Dynasty, and Li are from the common ancestors." Li Han was very enthusiastic and had a kindness that was familiar. While speaking, he took two steps forward and came to Zhu Li's side, stretched out his hand and hugged Zhu Li's shoulder.
Li Han had no scruples, so Zhu Li could not lose his share. He said calmly: "Haha, it turned out to be Brother Li. I am lucky to meet today. I am very honored to be Zhu Li. But the two women in the Khitan were the thief leaders who were pursued by Brother Li, but now they have been captured by Brother Li. I don't know what to do."
Zhu Li is so calm, it depends on people. History has proved that Gekun, and later Shigas, Brut, etc. No matter what the people in the Central Plains call them, these people are indeed interested in the Central Plains and have always been very friendly.
Such a foreign race that is friendly to the Han people is very rare in history. It only shows that Li Ling deserves the reputation of a hero who fights alone. After he passed away for so long, his younger generations have always upheld their will and dare not forget it.
If it weren't for the deception to come true, Li Ling might have left a more profound mark in history, at least he would never forget his roots, and even many people in later generations could not do it.
"Do you brother refer to those two Khitan women?" Li Han turned around and looked at Yanmujin. Yue Lixin glanced at him, then turned back, looking at Zhu Li with a look of surprise, and in confusion.
Zhu Li nodded seriously without doubting him, "That's right, these two people are the wives of famous Khitan generals. This time they led their troops to attack Fengzhou, but were defeated by their younger brothers. They chased them all the way to capture them alive."
"Catch it alive? Could it be that the young general is interested in the two of them?
"It's not that Li Han is suspicious. In other words, whether it's Yan Mother's pound or Yue Li Xin, they are rare beautys.
Furthermore, the two were just leaders of the defeated army and now they fled to a Jedi like the Gobi. If a sensible general would never rashly lead his troops to chase him into this place. This is not a place where people stay. When the army enters here, there will be danger of overturning at any time.
Zhu Li was stunned when she heard this. She fell in love with Yanmujin and Yuelixin. Where did she start?
In terms of relationships, he is still worried about the affairs of Yuchi Jin and Wang Yueyao, so how can he have the intention to attract bees and butterflies?
The ancients said that the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers were, in the eyes of outsiders, whether it was Yuchi Jin or Wang Yueyao, they were definitely his woman.
But what about the real situation?
Zhu Li never held these two little hands once. He was really moved by Yuchi Jin, but for Wang Yueyao, he always thought that the other party was a "colleague".
At the end of the year, Zhu Li's parents ordered him and Wang Yueyao to get engaged first, but he did not agree. That was because he knew that although Wang Yueyao was beautiful, loved by everyone and blooming, it did not touch his heart.
What is love? In his understanding, he makes soup with bare hands and talks with the sunset. This is his simple view of love.
Some people say that since he does not have Wang Yueyao in his heart, why don’t he refuse in front of his parents’ orders?
What era is this? This is the era of the Tang Dynasty and the feudal dynasty. In this era, if you reject a woman, have you ever thought about how to deal with her?
To put it bluntly, if Zhu Li refuses, Wang Yueyao will become a laughing stock for others at the least; if it is serious, it will be destroyed. Do he dare to say such a consequence? It is not rejection, but murder.
Love is not sleeping on the same bed, but pretending to be others in your heart; it is not about being in love with each other, but each has its own selfish intentions; love is about having you and having no choice but to be in the world, and the other is everything, supporting each other and working together through thick and thin.
This is the true love that Zhu Li understands. As for other explanations, is that love? At least Zhu Li doesn't think so.
As for the fact that he fell in love with Yanmujin and Yuelixin, it was nothing at all. Zhu Li couldn't help but feel a little lost when he heard Li Han's words. He didn't know why Li Han said that. It was inexplicable that his eyes could see it.
However, his stunnedness made Li Han give him an ambiguous look, shook his hand, patted his shoulder hard and said, "Haha, since ancient times, it has been said, 'My fair lady, a gentleman', Brother Zhu Li, don't be embarrassed, make the decision for your brother, just give all these two Khitan beauties to your brother, haha."
As the saying goes, if you look for something without any effort, Zhu Li chased the north and bravely rushed to the Gobi Desert in order to capture the two Khitan women, but she has never been able to succeed.
Now, because of a beautiful misunderstanding, Li Han boldly presented the two with both hands. If he refuses, it will be pretentious and hypocritical.
"Then I thank you Brother Li." Zhu Li quickly bowed and thanked him. As for explaining whether he really liked the two of them, it doesn't matter now. What's important is that the two women have obtained it.
