Chapter 775 The Wine Trap

By the Wuding River, the four faced each other.

Holding a whip in her hand, Li Zhiwan immediately said to Jieli: "Jieli Khan, you are the new successor to Khan. Right now, you are only gaining superficial awe from the tribe by virtue of the power of defeating Tuli, but the Khan's merits are getting worse and worse As a result of people's hearts, if there is a slight difference in the city of Youjing, then the prestige will be lost, and the followers will leave, I hope the Khan will think twice."

Hearing what Li Zhiwan said, Wei Zheng and Wen Yanbo secretly applauded, these words can be described as offensive.

Jieli said in his heart, Zhao people are brave and good at fighting, even a woman is so powerful, the Central Plains is really not empty, if I use Youjing to break through Youjing now, if Li Chongjiu counterattacks in the future, there will be endless troubles.

However, Xieli is the Khan's lord after all, how could Li Zhiwan show weakness when he said that, and immediately said: "You don't believe me, this Khan will break through Youjing and show you."

Wen Yanbo saw that Jieli became tough and said immediately: "Jieli Khan, don't fight between emotions. We Zhao people would rather die in battle than submit, but for the sake of peace between the two families, I am willing to make a little concession."

Hearing what Wen Yanbo said, all the Turkic generals breathed a sigh of relief, while Jieli said with joy from the bottom of his heart: "Then Zaifu Wen, what is your condition?"

The two sides bargained for a while, and now Zhao Guo and the Turkic peace negotiations were settled, and finally the negotiation was reached. Zhao Guo gave the Turks 1000 million yuan, [-] pieces of cloth, and [-] catties of pig iron. To the Turkic people, in exchange for three thousand altars of Huaihuang wine.

The Turks promised not to invade Zhao again, and after returning to the grassland, they would continue to maintain the mutual exchange between the two families once each in the spring and autumn.However, Wei Zheng, Wen Yanbo and Xieli agreed to hand over the documents within five days.Xieli did not allow it, and requested that it be changed to two days and be delivered in batches.

Xieli was not careless, and he was still very cautious in his heart.

According to Jieli's estimate, it is not a problem for the Zhao people to take out this sum of money. It is within the range that the other party can bear. It's time.
Of course, this money will not be divided into the hands of the Turkic soldiers, and the Tiele tribes who came with them will not be divided too much, and it will mainly be embezzled by the leaders of the Turkic tribes.

On the first day, the State of Zhao handed over [-] catties of pig iron to the Turkic people, and these pig iron Zhao people took out with their burdens.However, the amount of [-] jin could not help worrying the Turkic people, because the Turkic expedition to the south this time mainly came on light horses, and there were not many mules, horses and vehicles in the team to carry these heavy pig irons.

But these pig irons are more valuable than copper coins in the eyes of the Turks.The Turkic people have superb iron-smelting technology. Their ancestors were the forging slaves of the Rouran people. The scimitars made by the Turkic people are the sharpest war knives, and the craftsmanship is even higher than that of the Han people.

But there is no iron on the grasslands, which greatly limits the combat effectiveness of the Turks.The Eastern Turks must buy from the Western Turks, and the Western Turks must also collect from the tribes of the Western Regions under their command.

This time, the Turks were determined to win [-] pig iron, and the Zhao people provided part of the vehicles. The Turks also emptied part of the baggage, and the remaining pig iron was consigned with pack horses, and the matter was settled.

As for Huaihuang wine, not to mention, the Turkic people who are fond of spirits are especially fond of distilled spirits like Huaihuang wine.So when the Zhao people offered to exchange [-] altars of fine wine for [-] women, the Turkic people immediately agreed.

You must know that Zhao Guo has always supplied the three thousand altars of Huaihuang wine in limited quantities to outside the Great Wall. At the beginning, it was because of the shortage of food. Li Chongjiu was worried that the profit of Huaihuang wine would be too high. Merchants would use rice grains to make wine, which would lead to an increase in food prices. , so the alcohol restriction order was issued.

Later, Da Zhao had enough food, Li Chongjiu listened to Lin Dangfeng's suggestion, and decided to sell in limited quantities, the purpose of which was of course to raise the price.A jar of Huaihuang wine can be exchanged for a good Turkic war horse. This is a sky-high price. Even Li Chongjiu thinks that the wine industry is not too profitable, but Lin Dangfeng told himself that the Turkic people still accounted for most of the money. cheap.

Because the Turkic took this Huaihuang wine outside the Great Wall, and if it was transferred to a farther place, it could be worth three high-quality war horses.

On the grasslands, Huaihuang wine can only be drunk by Turkic nobles, and ordinary people cannot taste it.Therefore, any banquet of the Turkic people will lose its color if there is no Huaihuang wine.

Seeing that Ren Zhao readily gave Turkic [-] jin of pig iron and [-] altars of Huaihuang wine, Xie Li felt that Ren Zhao should be able to finish the payment as scheduled this time.

After Xieli received [-] catties of pig iron, he happily returned to the big tent, and all the Turkic generals expressed their congratulations and congratulations to Xieli.Xieli was also very happy, he came to the city and obtained his political capital from Zhao Guo. With this wealth, his prestige on the grassland will be even higher.

A Turkic general said to Jieli: "Congratulations to Khan, he has only succeeded Khan for two months, and he has defeated the two most powerful enemies of Tuli and Zhao. At this time, no Khan of all dynasties can match. "

Then a general suggested: "Khan might as well have a drink, congratulations on this matter."

This man's proposal was echoed by many Turkic generals. Xieli looked at the crowd and said, "Zhao Guo has not completely surrendered, it's too early to celebrate now, but... But it's okay to have a drink."

Hearing what Jieli said, all the Turkic generals were overjoyed, and the drinks were served immediately.This drink is naturally Huaihuang wine. This time, [-] altars of Huaihuang wine are enough for the Turkic people to hold many banquets.

The Turkic generals present here, the leaders of Tie Le, couldn't move when they saw Huai Huangjiu.So when someone made a toast to Xieli, everyone couldn't help it. They picked up the wine glasses together, and greedily sipped the good wine in their mouths.

Zhao Deyan watched all the generals congratulate Jieli one after another. He didn't know when the most valiant Turkic warrior also learned to flatter him.This may be because the Turks had a lot of contact with the Han people, and they were infected with the bad habits of the Han people.

And the Turkic people who are brave and good at fighting gradually began to dislike horses and soldiers, and Kashgar loved beauties and wine.

Zhao Deyan took a cup of Huaihuang wine and drank it into his stomach, feeling his whole body was on fire. This wine was really good wine, but it was also a poisonous wine used by Zhao people to kill the Turks.But the Turkic people can't refuse good wine, just like knowing that it is poisonous wine, but still drinking it into their stomachs.

As soon as the banquet started, Xieli, who was supposed to drink a few glasses, couldn't help drinking a few more glasses after tasting Zhao Ren's Huaihuang wine. As for his subordinates, they were even worse.The wine given by the Khan is so precious, how can it be done without drinking more, in the tribe, even if they are all leaders, it is rare to drink such good wine.
"Stupid, Zhao people are not so easy to give in, this is clearly a trap." Zhao Deyan thought in his heart, but he knew that no one would listen to what he said now, so he might as well learn from it Be smart about it.
