Chapter 532 Great Sui Princess
When Li Chongjiu confronted Chuluo in the west of the city, the Turks also attacked the north of the city, and the war lasted all day and night.

The soldiers defending the city were replaced by a new round of soldiers when the Turkic offensive took a break, and they went down to the city to rest.

The strong men in the city were mobilized to bandage the wounds of the guards and give them food and clothing.

But seeing a basket of cakes being served, Situ Qiu took two cakes from the rattan and bamboo basket without any hesitation, and gnawed on them regardless of the black mud and blood on his hands.

This biscuit was originally as hard as a lump of soil, and it was usually broken into pieces and soaked in water to eat, but now that the war is raging, where is there water for you to boil it, and it is even more difficult to chew because of the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month. But Situ Qiu, who had been hungry for a long time, didn't pay much attention to it, he just gnawed hard on it.

But Situ Qiu looked left and right, but saw more robes, who had not laid eyelashes for a day and a night, did not eat, lay down and fell asleep directly.

Situ Qiu turned his head, at this time there were only a few soldiers guarding the gate of the northern city, they were all listlessly chatting there, secretly thinking, if he fights out by himself at this time, there should be a [-]% chance of taking the gate.But when he raised his head and saw the arrow towers on both sides of the city gate, he couldn't help but shook his head. He was afraid that he would be killed by the soldiers on the arrow towers as soon as he got up, not to mention that this was just the gate of the city gate, and there was another gate in front of him. Woolen cloth.

Situ Qiu smiled self-deprecatingly, he was Li Tang's spy, not the Turkic spy, so why bother about the Turkic people.

At that moment, Situ Qiu withdrew his gaze and continued to gnaw on the unpalatable pancakes, while the chatter of the city guards drifted over without a word.

"Today the Turks fought all day, so fierce, it was just a feint."

"The Turks have a large number of troops and their soldiers are elite, so they are not as easy to bully as Khitan dogs. You must know that today the gongs and drums in the west of the city have been beating for a day. I heard from the brothers in the Xuanfeng camp that an army of 3 troops has been dispatched to fight against the king. Over [-] horses faced each other across a Wuding River."

"10,000+ people, is there a fight between the two sides?"

"Where is it? Although there are many troops in Chuluo, the 3 horses in the west of the city are all the elite of our Zhao army. With the city guarded, Chuluo dare not fight lightly."

"That's good."

The audience talked about Situ Qiu, and he kept it in his heart at the moment. He wanted to write down the news truthfully and send it out through special channels. After ten days, it would be on someone's desk in Chang'an.

However, Situ Qiu also knew that he needed to be more careful. In the past two years, Li Tang's meticulous work in Youjing had failed a lot.His current role as a policeman in Ji County has greatly increased, and he may be promoted in the future.

Although the county lieutenant intends to promote him as a head catcher.But Situ Qiu wanted to work in the Patrolling Army Division to obtain more information.The country is now in troubled times, and King Zhao is also employing people. If it weren't for Li Tang's careful work, he might still be able to earn an official position at the age of 50.

At the moment, it is in another mansion in Youjing.

He Chou, Ouyang Xun, and Yu Shinan came to the mansion together, without being informed, they went directly into the courtyard.Outside the courtyard wall, Pei Ju could be seen digging the soil in a field.

The three of them couldn't help shaking their heads at each other.Yu Shinan spread his hands and said, "Pei Gong, the 10,000+ Turkic army is approaching the city. You don't think of a way, but you plow the fields here. It's really, alas."

But Ouyang Xun thought about it a little bit more, thinking that King Zhao rejected Pei Gong's intention to move the capital in the court hall. Could it be that Pei Gong noticed something and put on a gesture of plowing the fields and not caring about world affairs.

Ouyang Xun felt relieved when he thought of this, it's normal to advance and retreat in the officialdom, and it is common for more officials to retreat in order to advance.

Pei Ju didn't stop playing Leisi in his hands.Yu Shinan walked to the edge of the field and said, "Pei Gong is so peaceful, he doesn't hear anything outside the window!"

Pei Ju smiled and said, "An Zhiruosu is not an old man, but King Zhao."

Ouyang asked: "What do you say, Mr. Pei?"

Pei Ju slowly knocked away the soil under his feet with a Lei Lei, and said: "King Zhao has a ditch in his chest, and he has made a plan. I was worried that Youjing would not be able to defend it, but it is unfounded. Otherwise, more than [-] troops will stand on the Yongding River Why did you retreat so easily?"

Hearing this, He Chou, Ouyang Xun, and Yu Shinan couldn't help laughing.

Ouyang Xun said to Yu Shinan: "I told you earlier, although Mr. Pei doesn't go out, his heart is like a mirror, and he knows everything outside."

He Chou and Yu Shinan all showed expressions of apprehension.

Pei Ju put down the Leisi, and a servant beside him came over and handed him a towel to wipe his hands and feet.

Pei Juyan said: "I don't think this battle can go on."

Ouyang Xun walked up behind Pei Ju step by step, and asked, "Why did Mr. Pei say that?"

Pei Juyan said: "The Turks have nothing to do with our fortified city, and Zhao Jun can't defeat the Turks now. The so-called problems that can't be solved on the battlefield must finally sit down face to face and make it clear."
Ouyang inquired and said: "I know that this person took a few years to unify the ministries in the south and north of the desert, and brought chaos to the Central Plains. At the beginning, Li Yuan, Dou Jiande, Liu Heitao, Gao Kaidao, Liu Wuzhou and others Liu is all subject to him, this man's skill and ambition are all top-notch figures in the world, and now he is approaching the city, all he wants is to let King Zhao become a minister and pay tribute."

"However? King Zhao is also very arrogant. It's not easy for him to send him under the fence. He was born in a commoner and started from scratch. Now he occupies more than [-] counties in Hebei, and his power in the Central Plains is second only to Li Tang. Chu Luo If King Zhao surrenders to the Turks, I think King Zhao will never agree. But now that the two sides are deadlocked, how can we talk about peace?"

Pei Ju smiled and said: "We are in a stalemate, and we can only take a step back."

Yu Shinan said: "Then according to Pei Gong's intention, is it to see who is willing to pull this face down first?"

Pei Ju laughed and said, "Shi Nan, you missed a move here. Do you think Chu Luo Zhao Wang didn't have that intention? I think someone has secretly matched the bridge."

"Who is matchmaking, why do I not know?"

Pei Ju watched Ouyang Xun ponder and smiled, and said, "Xinben, tell me and come and see."

Ouyang Xun said with a smile: "I just thought of the siege of Yanmen Pass back then. Everyone thought it was my Sui army that repelled Shibi Khan's 20 troops. In fact, we had to rely on righteousness. Become a princess."

When Pei Ju heard Princess Yicheng's name, he couldn't help but sigh.

Yu Shinan said: "Princess can endure humiliation and commit herself to the Turks, she is really a rare character among women. I know that Empress Xiao and Princess Yicheng have a good relationship. It must be that the two sides passed the news secretly. It must be Empress Xiao who wrote the letter." Give it to Princess Yicheng."

Ouyang asked: "It makes sense. There are many things that men can't do in this world, but women can do it."

Within the Turkic camp.

Chu Luo Khan strode outside a large felt bag, and asked the waiters outside, "Is Ke Dun asleep?"

"Ketun is still waiting for Khan."

Chu Luo nodded, the status of Turkic women is very low, they are not allowed to marry freely, if their husband dies, they have to marry their younger brother, even if there are no blood relatives among their husbands.

However, Chu Luo didn't dare to treat this Han Kedun as an ordinary woman. For one thing, this woman from the imperial family of the Sui Dynasty had a unique charm that other grassland women didn't have.

Secondly, Princess Yicheng is of great value to Chu Luo.

This is also Zhao Yande's meaning. If Chu Luo wants to rule the Central Plains, he must use Princess Yicheng's clan status to win over the hundreds of thousands of Han people attached to the Turks in the north, as well as Zhang Changxun, Liang Shidu, Yuan Junzhang and others. Turkic Han princes.

Chu Luocai married Princess Yicheng as Kedun in order to improve his status among the Turkic tribes, and at the same time, he also had a little bit of emphasis on the Han people.

Chu Luo got into the felt bag and saw Princess Yicheng sitting there, so he said: "Ketun, why are you so angry this time? This is a battlefield, very dangerous, far less safe than Tieshan, What if everything goes wrong."

If Chu Luo could speak like this, there might be only Princess Yicheng in the world.

Princess Yicheng snorted, and said: "Do you have me as a prick in your eyes? This time you sent troops to attack Zhao. You said it was the intention of the special forces and Ye Hu. It was a last resort. But when I look at it now, it's not like that." What's the matter, the fifteenth army entered the fortress, and it wasn't you who nodded everywhere, how could the leaders of the various ministries be so gracious."

Chu Luo's expression was slightly cold, and he said: "Ketun, you don't know that Li Chongjiu is too presumptuous, he doesn't pay attention to my 15 Turkic cavalry, relying on his few troops, he actually wants to fight against my Turkic horse, today he If you dare not submit to me, in the future when he is full-fledged, he dares to lead an army to fight for me to Yudujin Mountain."

"Now I will seize this opportunity and kill this serious trouble before my eyes."

"What a serious trouble, don't forget that King Zhao is my nephew and son-in-law, who is my relative. Who is our Turkic enemy? It is Li Tang, the Li family who destroyed the Sui Dynasty." Princess Yicheng lost her temper when she heard this. .

"Look, you don't need me to tell you that in today's world, Li Yuan has one-third of the world, and now he is about to break Zheng. Once he wins the Eastern Capital, half of the world will belong to him. You are good, let Li Yuan do nothing. Fight, let him attack Zheng, and transfer all the soldiers and horses to Youjing to attack Zhao. Don't you know that Tang and Zhao are old enemies? Don't let Tang and Zhao go to war, but fall here to help Li Tang and hold back Zhao. This is the Khan's wise decision that thousands of people in the grassland rely on."

Chu Luo was rendered speechless by Princess Yicheng's words.

At this moment, Princess Yicheng was like most women in the world, arguing without reason, and now she is even more unforgiving when she has reason.

"You said that Zhao Yande is Wang Meng who helped you pacify the world, but now he gives me such a bad idea. I think he is a mediocre person. Ye Hu has no vision."

Chu Luo Khan couldn't help secretly angry, the woman became unreasonable, it was so unreasonable, the current situation is that both sides are on the line, fighting for such a breath, if you lower your head first, tell other people how to look at Turks in the future, look He's here.

But Princess Yicheng was a little anxious in her heart. She was indeed entrusted by Empress Xiao and Yang Ehuang to secretly contact Zhao and the Turks to discuss peace matters.

But now Chu Luo is determined to fight Zhao Guo to the end, what should she do.In the eyes of a woman, blood relationship is often more important than national interests, not to mention that he is not Turkic, her heart has always been towards the Han people, her natal family.

She doesn't care about anything, she is just a princess of the Sui Dynasty.
