Chapter 533

Congratulations to book friend Snowflakes Flying in the Sky for becoming the rudder of this book.
Princess Yicheng looked at Chuluo Khan, and began to persuade him gently: "Khan, your status today has far surpassed that of our Turkic khans in the past. For example, heroes such as Li Yuan among the Han people also rely on Khan's breath, and even the Liugui, Guwei, Wanshui, and Nanshui Jilimi tribes of Kushuo Island in the far north of Liaodong all rely on Khan for you. The tribute has been surrendered, what are you not satisfied with Khan today?"

Chu Luo did not speak.

Princess Yicheng said to Chuluo Khan, "We Han people have a saying that those who rule peace should put benevolence and righteousness first, and those who rule chaos should put power and strategy first. Leave Li Chongjiu to deal with Khan's biggest enemy Li Yuan, and continue Zhao Deyan's division. The best strategy is to leave the weak with the strong.”

Chu Luo took a deep breath, stood up and walked outside the tent, looked into the camp with his hands behind his back, his eyes jumped over the thousands of Turkic tents, and landed on the city wall of Youjing in the distance.

While Princess Yicheng was persuading Chuluo, at the same time, there was another movement in Tuli Khan's tent.

Tu Li turned to the person in front of him and asked back: "King Zhao, are you really sincere to be friends with me again?"

The other party smiled and said: "The last time the two sides lost peace, it was Khan who was forced by Chuluo. How could the king not know? The king said that Tuli Khan is an eagle on the grassland. Under Luo Khan. Zhao Wang also said that after that, he will continue to support you Khan and fight against Chuluo, but right now it must be the best policy to let the Turks withdraw from Youjing and negotiate peace between the two families under the city."

Hearing this, Tuli laughed and said, "Okay, since King Zhao said that, how can I, Tuli, not give face to King Zhao? Tell him that I, Tuli, and King Zhao are willing to be brothers. In the future, I will dominate the grassland in the north, and Zhao The king and the south are kings, and the Hu and Han families will always be brothers."

Fang Yan said: "Of course."

In another large tent, Zhao Yande used a knife to dig out a piece of meat from the leg of lamb that had just been roasted.

Zhao Deyan stared at this piece of mutton, with a hint of deep thought in his cold eyes. He had been used to this way of eating for many years in Turkic, and he even forgot in his heart that he was a Han, but a Turkic.

Zhao Deyan and several confidants said: "The Turks look down on me, and the Han people scold my Bank of China, it doesn't matter. The most important thing is that I want to know what I want. You see, as long as I Turks rule the Central Plains , Those who hated us in the past knelt at our knees, this is the winner and loser!"

A confidant said: "That's right, under the control of the nobles in the Han area, and the legacy of nine-rank Zhongzheng, we have no room to stand out. Instead of licking the feet of such powerful people, it is better to defect to the Turkic people. Wealth and honor come happily. Turkic people He has a straightforward temperament and is much easier to deal with than the Han people."
This is a confidant saying: "Master Zhao, do you think we will negotiate peace with Zhao Guo?"

Zhao Deyan said: "The city of Youjing is strong, and Zhao Jun is good at defending the city. I don't think it can be defeated. It's just that Khan knew it clearly, but he refused to admit it to the ministers. I think he couldn't swallow it. .”

The confidant said: "Killing the city to death is not good. If I were Khan, I would never do such a thing of admiring fame and dealing with real disasters. What's more, we fought fiercely with Zhao Guo. If we both lose, we can only let it go." Good friends, Li Yuan."

"You think Khan doesn't know this truth," Zhao Deyan said, "If you withdraw your troops and return without success in attacking Zhao State this time, how will you tell the leaders of the ministries to think of Khan? Sometimes it's really hard to get off."

"Then you can't spend the winter in Youjing, can you? Mr. Zhao, why don't you persuade me?"

Zhao Deyan shook his head and said, "I'm not going to persuade Khan. Instead, I want to persuade Khan to continue attacking Youjing to show my loyalty to him. Don't worry, Khan is not like the former Khan. A reckless person, his scheming skills are not as good as those of the Ashina clan, and stalking is just a fool's way, but a truly wise person knows how to compromise."

Everyone discussed that in the next three days, Chuluo Khan led an army of 10,000+ Turks to besiege Youjing for several days.

The Zhao army and the Turkic armies fought fiercely under the city for several days. At this time, the [-] cavalry sent back by Ertuo rushed to Youjing.

After Chu Luo heard the news, he immediately led his army to encircle Youjing, and the Turkic army retreated.

Two days later, it was still by the Wuding River.

At this time, a heavy snow fell in Youjing, and the horseshoes of the war horses were printed on the snow mud. The white air exhaled by 10,000+ army soldiers looks like a layer of white mist from a distance.

The snow powder fell on the surface of the Wuding River and went with the waves. A simple temporary bridge was built on the Wuding River.

The snow was falling, and the bridge was already covered with white.

Tens of thousands of Zhao troops and [-] Turkic cavalry faced off on both sides of the river. Although this scene seemed familiar, it lacked the taste of the tense days before.

In the heavy snowfall, the soldiers of the Turkic and Zhao soldiers were covered with snow powder unknowingly.

Li Chongjiu and Chu Luo came here on horseback, one from the south and the other from the north. Chu Luo was wearing a bear fur coat, and Li Chongjiu was wearing a woolen cloak.

After the two dismounted, they looked at each other, and Chu Luo laughed loudly, and said like an old friend he hadn't seen: "King Zhao."

Li Chongjiu cupped his fists and said, "Khan, be polite."
The two stepped onto the floating bridge of the Wuding River together.

The wooden planks on the bridge deck creaked, and the two stood in the middle of the pontoon bridge, standing just right for each other, in the middle of the river, and refused to take a step forward.

"He is really a proud person." Chu Luo thought inwardly, and when he was about to walk away, he looked at Li Chongjiu and he couldn't help being startled. He is more than 50 years old, and this person is only in his 20s. With his energy, it will not be a problem to hold the throne for another 20 years. As long as he works hard, who else in the world can control him.

Thinking of this, Chu Luo couldn't help secretly regretting his decision to negotiate peace.

Li Chongjiu asked with a smile: "Why does Khan look surprised?"

Chu Luo thought in his heart that this person is really good at observing words and expressions, and he noticed it when he showed this awe-inspiring expression.

Chu Luo said unabashedly: "I'm just surprised by the youth of Zhao Wang. I think that after 20 years when Li Yuan and I are both old, Zhao Wang will be full of energy. I am afraid that this great mountain and river in the Central Plains will be owned by Zhao Wang." gone."

From Li Chongjiu's point of view, Chu Luo speaks frankly and sincerely, which is by no means stupid, on the contrary, it is his charm.

Li Chongjiu showed a look of appreciation, and said: "Khan is joking, although I, Li, have ambitions for the world, but I am not a militaristic person. I will not be attacked if I am not attacked. As long as others invade Zhao, I will never send troops. "

Chu Luo smiled when he heard this, and said: "What King Zhao said is that the good men on our grassland don't know each other if they don't fight. This time, the Turks and Zhao Guo fought at war. Although it was at odds, it also made me know Zhao Guo. For such a hero as Wang, it is really not in vain for me to take a trip to the Central Plains."

Li Chongjiu said: "It is also a lonely honor to meet Khan as a friend. If Khan is interested, after the two parties negotiate a peace, they can live in Youjing for a long time. I wish to fulfill the friendship of the landlord."

Chu Luo laughed loudly, and said: "If I lived in Youjing for a long time, I'm afraid the grassland would have been turned upside down."

Li Chongjiu nodded, and said: "That's right, only a hero like Khan can hold back all the ambitious fan tribes, and I can't help but admire Khan."

Chu Luo sneered, and said: "It's easy to say, only a hero like King Zhao can watch over Li Yuan, an old dog, so I won't be afraid that he will bite me back."

Although the two of Li Chongjiu and Luo were in harmony on the face, they confronted each other in words.Li Chongjiu said in his heart that whoever said that Turkic people are straight-hearted, the city mansion in his heart is not inferior to Li Yuan in the slightest.

Seeing Chu Luo like this, Li Chongjiu was more determined to support Tuli to counteract his heart, otherwise it would be Zhao Guo's confidant to have such a person on the grassland.

When the two of them said this, Li Chongjiu's subordinates immediately led a magnificent white horse and a bowl of golden bowl.

Li Chongjiu said: "Today Gu and Khan swear an oath on the Wuding River to kill the white horse as an alliance. From then on, Zhao and Turks will be brotherly states and will never invade each other again!"

Chu Luo said: "This Khan and King Zhao swear an oath on the Wuding River. From then on, Zhao and Turks will be brothers and states, and they will never invade each other. Longevity will be a lesson!"

After speaking, Chu Luo drew out the golden knife and stabbed it into the white horse's neck.

The white horse hissed sadly, and pools of blood flowed from its neck, Li Chongjiu and Luo each drank the blood wine from the golden bowl.
