When Li Chongjiu returned to Huaihuang Town with the captives of the King of the King of the King of the Wushu and countless war horses, cattle and sheep, all the people of all races in Huaihuang Town stopped all the work they had at hand and rushed to see this scene.

The tribes of the King of the Suihe tribe all walked to the city of Huaihuang Town with their hands tied up and dejectedly. There were countless war horses and cattle and sheep that were seized. Many Han horse merchants saw the precious Wuzhumuqin horses and all went up to ask for the price. If such war horses were sold to the Central Plains, they were at least worth fifty cents of money.

When he heard that this was intercepted by Li Chongjiu, Ma Shang showed an envious look, saying that Li Chongjiu was getting rich.

Except for prisoners of war, war horses, cattle and sheep, what the most unexpected thing for the many people was that since the Khitan, even the Xi tribe of the King of Xihe was defeated by Li Chongjiu. The two major tribes on the Khitan, Xi tribe, and the eastern grassland were defeated by Li Chongjiu. Now, in addition to the Turks, who is Li Chongjiu's opponent?

When the Shide Xi people heard that Li Chongjiu defeated the King of the King of the King of the Xi tribe, they were both surprised and happy. Among the five tribes of the Xi tribe, the King of the Xi tribe was always the King of the King of the Xi tribe. This time, Li Chongjiu defeated him, which seemed to mean that the Shide tribe could be replaced.

After expelling the Khitans from the Qinshui grassland of Wuhou for the Khitans, the Xi people in Shide once died in name only among the five Xi tribes. Later, they defected to Li Chongjiu to live, defeated the eight Khitan tribes, rescued the tribes from the Khitans, regained their hometowns, and completed the revival.

Now Li Chongjiu led the Shidexi people to defeat the strongest Xihe Wang tribe, the five tribes of the Xi tribe. In terms of combat achievements, it was a beautiful victory in one battle. Now, whether it is Shidexi tribe or the other three tribes of the Xi tribe, there is also a saying that the leader of the alliance of the five tribes of the Xi tribe is highly discussed.

For a time, the tribes on the grassland were all wary of Shidexi tribe, and if this continues, even the people of Shidexi were somewhat blindly confident. They believed that they could challenge the hegemony of the Turks in the eastern part of the grassland.

The Xi people tasted the sensation of great power, but the elders of the Xi tribe were even more humble. On the same day when Li Chongji went to expedition to the King of the King of the He, the negotiator of the Turkic Chuluo Khan came to Huaihuang Town.

The elders of Shidexi went to Huaihuang Town together, almost like a kneeling to welcome the Turkic envoys. The Turkic envoys were also very arrogant and conveyed the meaning of Chuluo Khan.

Chuluo Khan asked Li Chongjiu to offer two thousand armors, one thousand horse armor, and one hundred thousand cattle, sheep and war horses to pay tribute to the Turks to express his surrender.

Seeing this request, Li Chongjiu knew that Chu Luo Khan had no room to bargain. After hearing this, the elder of Shidexi also begged Chu Luo Khan if he could cut it by one or two as much as possible.

The messenger spoke sternly, but in the end, after receiving a lot of benefits from Elder Shidexi, he finally showed a little kindness and told the elders that the Shidexi people were too popular on the grasslands in recent years. The Turks have always been worried that Shidexi has the ambition to challenge the hegemony of the Turkic grasslands. As long as the Shidexi people express their obedience, everything can be discussed.

Therefore, the Turkic envoys settled down and decided to seek the second best. They were to let Li Chongjiu and the elders of the Xi tribe go to Tieshan to pay homage to Chuluo Khan. As long as the Khan was happy, there would be nothing left.

After hearing this, Li Chongjiu sneered repeatedly. Even the elders of the Xi clan who had always been in harmony were not brave enough at this time. Anyone could see that this might be the Hongmen Banquet set up by the Turks.

Go, at the banquet, everyone was worried about killing the Turks, and they didn't go, and they were worried about sending troops to attack and destroying the Turks.

Although the elders of Shidexi did not want to conflict with the Turks, they even took their lives even more tightly. So the elders of Shidexi began to argue and tried their best to delay.

Li Chongjiu saw the meaning of the Turkic envoy and immediately understood that a battle with the Turkic was inevitable. He was not Liu Bang who could bow down and pretend, but even if he was willing to be Liu Bang, Chuluo Khan was definitely not Xiang Yu who was merciful and could let the enemy go.

I took my life to this bet that I lost nine out of ten, so I will go to this Hongmen Banquet.

Since he didn't go, Li Chongjiu would not even give up a single son. The equipment, war horses, and cattle and sheep in his tribe now have been accumulated over three years of hard struggle. He gave it to the Turks. This is simply cutting flesh and feeding the tiger. When there is no more to feed, it is time to serve the tiger with one's body.

It is necessary to satisfy the ambitions of the Turks, so instead of keeping a low profile, it is better to draw your sword and rise up.

Li Chongjiu couldn't help but bite his teeth. At that moment, Li Chongjiu summoned all the generals to discuss the chances of winning the war with the Turks next year.

When the generals under Li Chongjiu heard that Li Chongjiu was going to fight against the Turks, the reactions of the generals were all confused.

Ying Hefu first said: "Khan, the Turks are not Khitans. Once the war begins, there are 300,000 cavalry to mobilize them. It is not easy to gather the troops from our towns to gather 50,000. In one battle, the chance of winning is very small."

As the head of the Xi general, Ying Hefu first expressed disagreement. After Ying Hefu said something, of course, a series of generals of the foreign army shook their heads. They had been in the grassland for a long time and of course they knew the strength of the Turks.

Li Chongjiu narrowed his eyes. Now, for him, it was not a question of whether to fight, but a question of whether he could fight or not.

Wen Yanbo, who was on the same side, deeply understood Li Chongjiu's current situation. After Luo Khan proposed this condition, he completely extinguished his intention to negotiate with the Turks.

The advice he gave to Li Chongjiu was to see what the elders of the Xi tribe and the others wanted, what they would give them, what they wanted, the soldiers, horses, money, food, cattle, sheep, and war horses, were now controlled by Li Chongjiu. As long as he clenched it tightly, the Turks could not take away a single hair.

The negotiations were made by them to fool the Turks. When they really couldn't agree, they simply turned against the Turks. Now they could delay for a moment.

Li Chongjiu also agreed that those who are afraid of death will die. Sooner or later, the Turks realized that their Huaihuang Town would be their great enemy in the future. Therefore, there must be a battle. So now, they are afraid of the head and tail and dare not fight against the Turks. Sooner or later, they will be cowardly.

But since the war starts, you have to choose to be at your default time and place. Of course, the later the war starts, the more beneficial it will be for Li Chongjiu.

At this time, Wang Ma Han said, "Empress, we have Luo Yi now. Gao Kaidao two thieves are pulling their hind legs behind Zhuo County. The Khitan and the King of the King of the King of the Cialis also want to fight us at all times. If they go to war with the Turks, what should they do if they take advantage of the situation? If we are on guard against them, then the troops fighting against the Turks will not be enough, and they will definitely lose."

Although Wang Mahan was a humble man, this was very correct. Li Chongjiu did not want to start a war with the Turks in a hurry under the conditions of Luo Yi, Gao Kaidao, Khitan, and the King of the King of the Wuhe tribe. Therefore, as Wen Yanbo said, the war must be delayed until next autumn. Li Chongjiu must finish several opponents before autumn and then turn back to fight the Turks in a decisive battle. Only in this way can he have a chance of winning.

This is not impossible, because in spring and summer, the grassland tribes do not like to fight at this time. Only autumn and even winter are the time when each other is willing to use troops.

Here, he said: "It is not impossible to fight against the Turks. This time we captured Zhuo County and seized so many sharp weapons to defend the city. We can strengthen Huaihuang Town and Yuyi Town. As long as we can defend these two cities, it is not necessary to fight back when the Turks are tired. How did we defeat the Khitans in the past, and how would I defeat the Turks today."

At this time, Ji Chuan sneered and said, "That's why, who told you that the Turks would definitely attack Huaihuang Town? The Turks were not Khitans. The Turks could use one army to restrain us outside Huaihuang and Yuyi Towns. Then they sent their main force and Liu Wuzhou to cross Feihukou from Yanmen and break into the Great Wall. At that time, our heavy troops gathered outside the frontier, but Shanggu, Yanmen, and even Zhuo County were captured by the Turks. Should we give up the strong city and be surrounded by the Turks on the way back to the rescue? Or should we continue to stay outside the frontier and sit and watch the hinterland be slaughtered?"

After hearing what Ji Chuan said, everyone who had fantasies had changed their expressions. When they were fighting with the Khitans, Li Chongjiu was only in Huaihuang and Yuyi Town, which was easy to defend. Although he has a large number of troops, his territory has also been expanded. The Turks 300,000 cavalry ran left and right, and they could not fight against Li Chongjiu at the city, but make full use of the mobility of the cavalry, and the troops were divided into different ways, avoiding the real and the virtual.

The Turks were not Khitans. The Turks' Khans were all strategic masters. They would not be unscrupulous just because they had an army of 300,000 and would feel that they would crush Li Chongjiu casually. Even if the Turks felt that 300,000 and 50,000 would definitely win, they would not adopt this tactic.

Playing the anticipated defensive counterattack battle with the Han people is equivalent to attacking the opponent's strengths with one's own weaknesses. The Turks are really good at this kind of coming and going like the wind, making full use of cavalry mobility, and using strategic advantages to defeat their opponents.

This is the most terrifying enemy. He has absolutely powerful strength, but he never underestimates his opponent because of this.

After Ji Chuan finished speaking, he ignored the generals' glaring at him, and immediately opened his mouth and continued to exclaim, "It is better to expect the Turks to make mistakes and be like the Khitans to get into our trap. It is better to expect the sows to come up on the tree. I think if the war starts, our only chance is to give up all the strongholds outside the Great Wall, such as Huaihuang, Yuyi Towns, and even Yanmen. They must be prepared to give up. Then gather troops to defend the Great Wall."

"Now we already have Zhuo County. It was not the time when we were only relying on Huaihuang and Yuyi Towns. We could afford to lose money. Liu Bei seized Shu and refused to let Jingzhou, which led to Guan Yu's defeat and Yiling's defeat."

After Ji Chuan finished speaking, he was unanimously opposed by the generals of the Xi clan. They cursed in court. This was an act of cede the land without fighting.
