Under the White Wolf Mountain. [Supreme Powers]

A Khitan man was taken into a green tent.

Seeing a Han man in his twenties sitting at the top, the Khitan took a deep breath and said, "Fufuyubu Yili Jinquli, pay homage to Khan."

Li Chongjiu stretched out his hand and said, "Yilijin was frightened, please sit down."

After saying that, the soldiers on the side presented Qu Lie with horse milk wine, mutton, and a stack of Hu cakes on the small table in front of him.

Qu Lie glanced at the food on the table, and couldn't help but move his index finger. He had run away for life these days, which made him unable to eat enough or sleep along the way.

After being captured, although he was ready to die or sell it to a slave, he was still nervous when he thought of it. The table was full of delicious food, which made him hungry.

Qu Lie let go of his hands and feet, grabbed the mutton, stuffed it into his mouth with a big mouthful, and then picked up the horse milk wine and drank it with a kettle.

Li Chongjiu looked at the other party and didn't say anything. This time he defeated the Khitan Xi clan coalition and captured more than 50,000 foreign prisoners of war in one go. The number of these prisoners was very large, but when he surprised him, he did not catch several noble people from the two tribes. Not to mention Dahe Duluo and his son, but even the Eight tribes of the Khitan Yilijin and the Three Xi tribes of Qi Jin, none of them were caught.

As for dealing with prisoners, the three tribes of the Xi tribe were still good, but the Khitan was in trouble.

Li Chongjiu also ordered the Xi people who knew Khitan's words to interrogate, but when asked, the Khitans were all kept silent and said they didn't know, even the tribe leader did not collect a few. The Khitans' uncooperative attitude made him unable to manage these prisoners.

Now, there is finally a man who claims to be Yilijin, a Yidao, a Khitan Fufuyu tribe, who asks to see Li Chongjiu.

Li Chongjiu met immediately.

After Qu Lie was half full, he seemed to see Li Chongjiu not speaking. He put down his wine and meat, and wiped it on the leather robe with greasy hands, and said, "Khan, we have seen the strength of you Han people in this battle. We Khitans were convinced. But what is Khan's intention to station troops in Bailang Mountain now?"

Li Chongjiu asked back, "Why do you think this is?"

Qu Lie clasped his fists and said, "I heard that Khan was a man with great ambitions. The Central Plains are now divided into pieces, which is a great opportunity for Khan to make progress. I guess Khan's goal should be to go south, not to north. Therefore, with Khan's wisdom, I would not think that by defeating our Khitans, we can use troops to the north, occupy the land of the White Wolf Water, or the Khitans will surrender from now on."

Li Chongjiu thought to himself that this person lives in Yilijin. He really has great knowledge and extraordinary experience.

Li Chongjiu pondered and said, "I, Han people, don't like to fight, but you, Khitans, have violated our territory twice, so they have to fight back. Let me ask you, which time was the Han people proactively provoked these two battles? As for invading your Khitans' territory, you can all loot us Han people. Why can't we Han people rob you Khitans?"

Qu Lie lowered his head and said, "The strong are kings, and the weak are feeding. Everyone on the grassland follows the principles, so I never think that there is anything wrong with us Khitans coming to loot the Han people. The only thing is wrong. We have miscalculated the strength of your Han people twice, which is our unwiseness."

Qu Lie paused and said, "But both battles. You Han people have won. This time, I, the Khitan, have been defeated by a huge victory. But I, Khitan, are all warriors who are not afraid of death. Khan thought that winning this battle would make us Khitan surrender. Unless we are all Khitans, we will have one person to fight you Han people to the end."

Li Chongjiu laughed and said, "Do you think I dare not kill all of you Khitans. There are many tribes in the Liaodong area, and many tribes are rising and many tribes are destroyed. If I join forces with the Marines and the Xi tribes to eradicate the Khitans together, I believe they will not be unwilling to do so."

Qu Lie stood up and said, "Even if our Khitan perishes, will the northern border of your Han people be calm? The Xi people, the Martins who annexed our Khitan tribe, will still oppose you if they become stronger in the future."

"Then I will eradicate them in the future. Don't deny that for thousands of years, have we Han people and the Liaodong tribes been like this? How many tribes in Fuyu, Wuhuan, Wei clan Korea, and Liaodong were destroyed, but we Han people have been south to this day." Li Chongjiu said.

Qu Lie was speechless for a moment and said, "Khan, I am here to see you. I do not hope that the Khitan and the Han people will be enemies for generations, but that the two families can have a way to have peace."

Li Chongjiu glanced at the other party and thought to himself that Nurhaci and Li Chengliang must have said this too.

Li Chongjiu said, "What do you mean is to let me put back to the Khitan and continue to be your Yilijin, so that you can oppose the Dahe clan's use of troops against us Han people? Or will you help you defeat the Dahe clan and unify the Khitan?"

Qu Lean said: "Report to Khan, if I don't say anything for a long time, if I Qu Lean is one day, the Khitan will not use troops to the Han people. I can make an oath to the heaven."

Li Chongjiu glanced at the other party and said, "Okay, I believe in you."

Qu Lie was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Khan."

"Slow down," Li Chongjiu said, "Don't thank you for your thanks for your return to the Khitan, and this time you, Fufuyu's captives, can be released. But your son must stay."

Qu Lie nodded and said, "I know the rules. I have five sons, so stay together."

Li Chongjiu said, "It's good to have the three oldest people. Don't worry, I will let someone teach them the knowledge of the Han people. Three years later, if the Khitan and I are safe in Youzhou, they will be put back."

In this way, Li Chongjiu and Qu Lie reached an agreement.

Qu Lie immediately brought more than 5,000 prisoners from Fufuyu's tribe and returned to the Khitan. Li Chongjiu returned the 6,000 war horses seized by the other party and 20,000 cattle and sheep.

Before Qu Lie left, Su Su said to Li Chongjiu: "The Khitans are cunning and do not keep their faith. Even if they have hostages, we should not trust them easily."

After hearing this, Li Chongjiu said, "It's okay. This time, the eight Khitan tribes have captured a lot of people, and their power will inevitably be damaged. However, the Fufuyu tribe is not only safe, but its strength has increased greatly. What do you think of the other seven tribes?"

Su Su nodded and said, "Xiao Jiu, I really think it through, but I'm too worried."

Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "Now we will defeat the Khitan Xi tribe. Within at least three years, the western border of Liaoning can be free of trouble. With Luo Yi's death, Yuyang County can go with the flow. The only tree left is left to be alone in the high road. Unification of Youzhou is just around the corner. You can let go and advance to the Central Plains."

Su Su also nodded and looked at the mountains to the south.

In the outskirts of Ji County, Lu Ziqian, Zhao Heran and Gao Xudao were all standing outside the city. They were surrounded by gentry from Zhuo County, and they were now looking forward to the army that Li Chongjiu returned from western Liaoning.

The weather in June is already hot, and many people are not sure about the season. They are all wearing thick clothes, so they are sweating heavily.

The servants on the side all set up sunshades for the three owners and gave plum soup to quench their thirst, but even so, the heat was still hard to relieve.

The weather was particularly irritable, and Lu Ziqian and the other two looked unhappy. Even if the servants tried hard to fan the wind, they still felt hot.

"I didn't expect that this city kid actually defeated the 160,000 Khitan Xi tribe's army. I don't think this kid was just making a fool of himself on purpose." Zhao Heran said with an unhappy look. He still remembered that Li Chongjiu scolded him so much that day.

Gao Xudao echoed, "I think I'll kill 10,000 enemies and lose 3,000 to himself. Could it be that this Li boy has all his soldiers and generals who have come down to earth and fail to succeed? Even if he wins, he will win miserably."

When Lu Ziqian saw the two of them saying this, he thought to himself that these two were really short-sighted. In such a big battle, how could Li Chongjiu make a false move? Once he lost the Khitan, he would go straight into the north, and Youzhou would suffer. Although he was unwilling to see Li Chongjiu winning streaks, he was not so short-sighted. Once Li Chongjiu was defeated, the Lu family's property in Youzhou would inevitably be robbed by the Khitans.

"Here, the army is here." The people looking outside came to report before the three of them.

"You two can stop for a while." Lu Ziqian said unhappily.

When Zhao and Gao saw Lu Ziqian speak, they kept silent. At that time, the two, Lu Ziqian, and the gentry were all waiting for Li Chongjiu to return to Zhuo County on the road.

Unlike the remaining defeated generals that Zhao and Gao imagined, Li Chongjiu's army was in full swing, and it was clearly a victorious army. Without looking at the foreign cavalry in bright clothes and angry horses, just looking at the long prisoners of war begging in the queue, you can also know that this was definitely a great victory.

Seeing this scene, all the gentry from Youzhou stepped forward to congratulate Li Chongjiu, who was the head coach.

Li Chongjiu was not proud of himself, and he clasped his fists to talk to the gentry. Zhao and Gao were angry when they saw it. Lu Ziqian glanced at the two of them, then shook his sleeves, and then strode forward to Li Chongjiu, saying, "Congratulations to Mr. Shanggu, the great victory of Bailang Mountain, the ancient Wei Qing, and Huo Qubing are just like this."

When Li Chongjiu saw that it was Lu Ziqian, he said, "How can we compare to our ancestors? However, the two ancestors' feelings for defending their families and the country are worthy of our descendants' imitation. Without a country, there is no family, and without thousands of people, how can we come from a country."

Li Chongjiu's words were very wonderful, which immediately attracted applause from the gentry of Youzhou. Lu Ziqian also thought to himself that this son is really good at clever words.

Seeing Lu Ziqian's expression, Li Chongjiu said, "The Lu family, Gao family, and Zhao family did a good job in this regard. The three families heard that the army went on a war. The three families provided the army with 50,000 stone of military rations for military purposes. This was a selfless act and was a model for the people of Youzhou."

After hearing what Li Chongjiu said, the gentry in Youzhou turned to congratulate Lu, Zhao and Gao.

When Zhao and Gao saw that Li Chongjiu was not worried about their past grudges, they said in front of everyone that they had made a contribution, and they couldn't help feeling guilty. But seeing that the gentry in the village congratulated them, even their nephews looked at them with admiration.

The two of them inevitably became the role. Zhao Heran reciprocates his favor and said, "The Gong of Shanggu is worried about the country and the people, and leads his army to fight in blood. What we have done is nothing but a trivial matter, so what is the truth."
