Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty-Five The Alliance of the Undetermined River
Congratulations to the book lovers who are all over the sky for becoming the helmsman of this book.
Princess Yicheng looked at Chuluo Khan and began to persuade him softly, "Khan, your status today has far surpassed our Turkish Khans. The tribes in the north and south of the desert crawled at the feet of Khans, like the hero Li Yuan among the Han people, they also rely on the breath of Khans. Even the Liugui tribe, Guwei tribe, Wanshui tribe, and Jiri Mi tribe in the Cave Island in the north of Liaodong have paid tribute to you and surrendered to Khan. What else are you not satisfied with today's Khan?"
Chu Luo didn't say anything after hearing this.
Princess Yicheng said to Chuluo Khan, "We Han people have a saying that those who govern peace should be benevolence and righteousness first, while those who govern chaos should be based on power and strategy first. Leaving Li Chongjiu to deal with Khan's biggest enemy Li Yuan, the best strategy is to continue Zhao Deyan's strategy of separating the strong and getting rid of the weak."
Chu Luo took a deep breath, stood up and walked outside the tent, looked at the camp with his hands behind his back, and his eyes leaped over the thousands of Turkic camps, landing on the walls of the Youjing City in the distance.
Just as Princess Yicheng persuaded Chu Luo, at the same time, there was another movement in Tuli Khan's tent.
Tuli asked a man in front of him, "King of Zhao, do you really have the sincerity to be friends with Tuli again?"
The other party smiled and said, "The last time the two sides were in harmony, it was Khan who was forced by Chu Luo. How could the king not know? The king said that Tuli Khan was an eagle on the grassland, so how could he lie dormant under Chu Luo Khan? King Zhao also said that in the future, he would continue to support Khan and fight against Chu Luo. But now it is necessary to let the Turks retreat from Youjing, and the two families negotiate peace at the city. This is the best strategy."
Tuli laughed and said, "Well, King Zhao said so, how can I not give face to King Zhao? Tell him. I, Tuli and King Zhao, are willing to be brothers, and in the future I will dominate the grasslands in the north. King Zhao will be kings in the south, and the Hu and Han families will always be brothers."
The other party said, "Of course."
In another big tent, Zhao Yande used a knife to dig a piece of meat from the newly roasted lamb leg.
Zhao Deyan stared at the mutton, and a look of deep thought appeared in his cold eyes. In the Turkic years, he had long been accustomed to eating like this, and even in his heart he forgot that he was a Han man, but a Turkic man.
Zhao Deyan and several confidants said, "The Turks looked down on me, and the Han people scolded me and said, "It doesn't matter. The most important thing is that I just need to know what I want. Look, as long as I enter the Central Plains, those who hated us in the past will kneel under our knees, and this will be the success, king and defeated bandit!"
A confidant said, "Yes, under the control of the Han gentry, the nine-rank priest-level style remains, and we have no room for success. Instead of licking the feet of such powerful people, it is better to join the Turks, and wealth will come happily. The Turks are straightforward and are much easier to deal with than the Han people."
This is a confidant saying: "Mr. Zhao, do you think we will negotiate peace with Zhao?"
Zhao Deyan said, "The city of Youjing is strong. The Zhao army is good at defending the city. I don't think it can be defeated, but the Khan clearly knew it, but he refused to admit it to the elders of the ministers. I think he can't swallow this."
The confidant said, "It is no benefit to fight the city to the death. If I were a Khan, I would never do such a thing as a plea to the false reputation and to deal with real disasters. What's more, we fight with Zhao State fiercely. If both sides suffer losses, we can only let Li Yuan get along."
"You think Khan doesn't know this," Zhao Deyan said, "If you retreat and return to attack Zhao State this time without success, you ask the leaders of each department to understand how to view Khan, sometimes it is really difficult to get rid of the tiger."
"Then you can't spend the winter in Youjing, right? Lord Zhao, why not persuade me?"
Zhao Deyan shook his head and said, "I don't go to persuade Khan. Instead, I want to persuade Khan to continue to attack Youjing to show my loyalty to him. Don't worry, Khan is not a reckless person like the former Khan. Few people in the clan of Ashi can match him. Being stubborn is just a fool, and only a truly wise person knows the word "compromise."
Everyone was talking about it. In the next three days, Chuluo Khan led a army of more than 100,000 Turks to besiege Youjing for several days. The Zhao army guarded without revealing water, and did not give any chance to the 15 Turks army.
The Zhao army and the Turkic army fought fiercely under the city for several days. At this time, the 20,000 cavalrymen who were recruiting their support rushed to Youjing.
After Chu Luo learned the news, he immediately led his army to siege Youjing, and the Turks led their army to retreat.
Two days later, it is still on the banks of Wuding River.
At this time, heavy snow fell in Youjing, and the horse's hooves were printed on the snow mud. The white air exhaled by more than 100,000 soldiers looked like a layer of white mist from a distance.
Snow powder fell on the surface of Wuding River and left with the waves. A simple bridge was erected on Wuding River.
The snow fell, and the bridge was already a layer of white.
Tens of thousands of Zhao troops and 100,000 Turkic cavalry confronted the river on both sides. Although this scene seemed familiar, it lacked the tension a few days ago.
As the heavy snow broke out, the Turks and Zhao soldiers unknowingly covered with snow powder.
Li Chongjiu and Chuluo came from the south and north. Chuluo was wearing a bear fur coat, while Li Chongjiu was wearing a wool cloak.
After the two of them dismounted, they looked at each other and laughed loudly, saying, "King Zhao."
Li Chongjiu clasped his fists and said, "Khan, be polite."
The two of them stepped up the Wuding River floating bridge together.
The wooden boards on the bridge deck were clattering, and the two stood in the floating bridge, standing just right at the center of the river, and refused to take another step forward.
"It's really a proud person." Chu Luo said in his heart. When he was about to look at Li Chongjiu, he couldn't help but be shocked. This person was so young. He thought that among the overlords of the world, he was already in his forties, Li Yuan was in his fifties, and this person was only in his twenty years. With his energy, it would be no problem to hold the throne for another twenty years. As long as he worked hard to govern, who could control him at that time.
Thinking of this, Chu Luo couldn't help but secretly regret the decision to make peace.
Li Chongjiu asked with a smile: "Why did Khan look surprised?"
Chu Luo Xin said that this person was really powerful in observing his words and expressions. He noticed this look of amazement.
Chu Luo said without any concealment: "I was just surprised by the youth of King Zhao. I think twenty years later, when Li Yuan and I grow old, King Zhao is energetic. The great mountains and rivers in the Central Plains will probably belong to King Zhao."
In Li Chongjiu's opinion, Chu Luo's speech is open and sincere, which is by no means stupid, but rather his charm.
Li Chongjiu showed an admiration and said, "Khan was joking. Although I, Li, have ambitions to the world, are not a powerful and powerful man. If anyone does not offend me, I will not offend others. As long as others raise troops to invade Zhao, I will never send troops."
Chu Luo smiled when he heard this and said, "What the King of Zhao said is that our good men on the grassland will not know each other without fighting. Although this time the Turks and Zhao State had a slight rift, it was not in vain to ask me to know a good man like Zhao, which is really a waste of my visit to the Central Plains."
Li Chongjiu said, "It is also a honor to be able to meet Khan, a friend. Khan is interesting. After the two families have agreed to peace, they can live in Youjing for a long time. I wish to complete the friendship of the landlords."
Chu Luo laughed and said, "If I had lived in Youjing for a long time, I would have been in chaos on the grassland."
Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "Yes, only a hero like Khan can suppress the ambitious tribes. I admire Khan very much."
Chu Luo sneered and said, "It's easy to say, only heroes like King Zhao, who can watch Li Yuan, see me, the old dog, so I'm not afraid that he will bite me back."
Although Li Chongjiu and Chuluo were in harmony, they confronted each other in their words. Li Chongjiu thought to himself, who said that Turks were all straight-hearted? Chuluo's mind was not inferior to Li Yuan's mind.
Seeing Chu Luo like this, Li Chongjiu became more determined to support the sudden sharpness and fight against his intentions. Otherwise, having such a person on the grassland would be a real concern for Zhao State.
When the two of them said this, Li Chongjiu's subordinates immediately led a divine white horse and a bowl of golden bowls.
Li Chongjiu said, "Today, Gu and Khan swear on this Wuding River to kill the White Horse into an alliance. From then on, Zhao and Turks will become brotherly countries and will not invade each other again!"
Chu Luo Yan said: "I Khan and King Zhao here swear on this Wuding River. From then on, Zhao and the Turks will become brotherly countries, and will never invade each other again, and live forever will be a lesson!"
After saying that, Chu Luo pulled out a golden knife and stabbed the white horse's neck.
Chapter completed!
