People who have no foundation of trust are going to make an alliance to do a big thing, and that's the kind of problem they encounter.

How to build trust and check each other is the first problem they have to face.

After that, there is the distribution of benefits, the sharing of risks, and so on.

Of course, being able to think so much shows that Li Po is indeed a little tempted.

Because he was already thinking about taking advantage of Shibi Khan's serious illness to lead his troops north again.

This is not a reckless move, and it is no longer the same as before, just for the sake of some cattle and sheep, because this is the best opportunity to get since the war with the Turks.

This time it was not a raid, he was going to severely damage some Turkic tribes in the steppe in the clouds, so that they could not go south to Daizhou for a short time.

Moreover, regardless of the condition of Shibi Khan, this will cause a certain amount of confusion for the Turks.

This is a war in which war is used to gain time to recuperate, and if possible, he will sweep through the grasslands in the clouds with the most ferocious posture, with the fastest time and speed.

There are certainly risks, and there is never a chance that a war will be smooth and won.

When the news of the serious illness of the Turkic Khan spreads in the steppe, many people's eyes will surely be on Dali City, and the defense around Dali City will also become different.

Even if he doesn't touch Dali City and doesn't enter Dingxiang County, the Turkic troops gathered together will be able to chase after him, and then, what is considered is the tactics of each person and the advantages and disadvantages of the cavalry under his command.

But now, another opportunity was presented to him.

Although there are many doubts, there is also an enticing aroma.

Listen to the woman's unpleasant laughter. Li Po also had some expectations, what could she say to win his trust. At the same time, he was also wondering what His Highness would come up with. What about him?

The answer is obvious, and it is not unexpected by Li Po.

It can only be marriage, and marriage is the most direct and effective means.

It is not unreasonable for people in these years to value such means, once the marriage is formed, then the treacherous person, even if it is a short-term gain, will encounter a lot of trouble, which is something that many people cannot imagine later.

It's a form of alliance that combines commitment and blood ties.

And not focused on promises. And the later generations who turned into contracts naturally have a wrong understanding of this.

For this point, Li Po also had a very clear understanding after marrying Li Bi, and his rise in Yunnei was due to Li Jing's trust, and it was also the result of the Li clan's people listening to his orders without doubt.

The Turks, on the other hand, were more than capable of doing so, and once the two tribes were married, there were very few betrayals.

This is the most basic consensus at this time. After the marriage, you repeat it, so what else can you not betray? After that, no one will trust such a person.

Driven by interests, in the face of marriage commitments. The impact is minimized.

Of course, this is not absolute, and can only be called a relatively solid constraint. It's pretty much the same as the later contract.

The woman beckoned outside, and a man slowly walked in.

No need to ask. It's a young girl, though veiled. The graceful figure, tall figure, slightly curly long hair, and light blue eyes all mean that this is a Turkic royal noblewoman.

The girl came to the hall, gently lifted the veil, and said in a clear voice: "I am Ash Tianxiang, the sister of the Turkic Shibi Khan Ashina Jishi, the daughter of Princess Yicheng of the Great Sui, and the princess of Garan." ”

The girl raised her head slightly, her braided hair fluttered gently with the wolf's tail, her skin was very fair, but the outline was not as deep as that of the Turks, with obvious soft lines, and on her fair face, which was still a little immature, the traces of anger could be easily seen, and her bright and agile eyes were also flashing with hatred.

This reminded Li Po of the scene when he first met Li Bi in the dark mountains and forests.

They have many similarities, the same pride, the same arrogance, the same beauty, and the same indescribable grace on their bodies, which people in these years should call it noble, aristocratic atmosphere.

A girl full of exotic and proud style, she has always had an unparalleled allure for men.

But beauty doesn't have much effect on Li Po.

Li Po knew that in terms of identity, according to the etiquette of the Great Sui, he should stand up and perform the courtesy of his subordinates, because this is a real princess, with the blood of the royal families of two great countries flowing in her body, and she is undoubtedly the rarest animal in the world.

But Li Po just waved his hand, "Princess, please sit down, do you want to drink wine, or do you want to drink tea?" ”

The girl who said her identity like a declaration was obviously stunned, and soon, two red clouds rose on her fair face.

Obviously, it wasn't ashamed, but angry.

"My mother often said that the Sui people value etiquette the most......"

Li Po didn't say anything, nor did he look at her, but just looked at the woman who was the messenger with a smile.

The meaning is actually very clear, I don't value this kind of marriage, and, you see, it's not a good marriage partner, is it?

Regardless of whether the woman understood it or not, she just smiled, and the benefits of a loud voice were also revealed, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she suppressed the girl's voice.

"The princess sits down and rests, I still have a lot to say with the general, but have you forgotten all the instructions before leaving?"

The girl immediately stopped squeaking, sat down angrily, glared at Li Po and couldn't help her luck, the purpose of this southward trip seems to be clear to her, and she is also preparing to rebel against the feudal marriage, but how fierce this resistance is, only God knows.

In the blink of an eye, the woman looked at Li Po, and her smile gradually faded, "The princess's status is extremely noble, and Her Royal Highness regards the princess as a pearl in her palm...... Could it be that in the eyes of the generals, my Turks are really so weak and deceitful? ”

At this time, Li Podao gradually felt at ease, because he did see the sincerity, if this was really Princess Yicheng's daughter.

He just wanted to show his toughness a little.

So he shook his head and said with a smile: "Okay, please don't be surprised, you should also know that I am just a pawn in the military mansion, I don't know any etiquette, if there is any rudeness, I hope the princess will forgive me." ”

"Besides, you can tell me about the current situation in Dali City."

The woman was stunned, and then she was overjoyed, but now she felt more and more that this young Sui general was really difficult to control, and she couldn't guess what he was thinking.

He is completely different from those Turkic aristocratic generals, he doesn't seem to have much greed and ambition, beauty, power, these things that are popular in the eyes of Turkic men, can't shake his will.

But is that possible? It's as ridiculous as saying that tigers and wolves don't eat meat.

Yes, no Turk would have such a reaction if he knew that the Principality of Garan was going to marry him, including Turkic magnates like Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan.

The woman made up her mind, thinking in her heart, can such a person really be trusted and put the sharp blade in his hands? When the opportunity comes, who will he aim his blade at?

Thinking so in her heart, she still showed surprise on her face, and said, "You mean ......"

Li Po laughed, he was very satisfied, this feeling of mastering the rhythm was indeed very good.

"How heavy is Khan disease? I heard that Jieli Khan was recalled to the royal court, is it true? What about the Tuli Khan? How many henchmen does His Highness have in the royal court? You come south, will people notice? How many people and horses have gathered on the grassland in the clouds? ”

"Let's put it this way, if what you can say is true enough, I will raise troops to the north to help, but you must know that such a major event is not a joke, how many people's heads will fall to the ground because of this, how many people's blood will flow because of this, once I wave my troops north to Dingxiang County, the matter will be irreparable."

"If I am defeated, I may still lead my troops to flee back to Daizhou, and Your Highness will have no way to retreat."

said it very directly, in fact, what Li Po was thinking about was that no matter whether this matter succeeds or fails, as long as Princess Yicheng has the heart to ascend to the throne, it will be enough, and the Turkic civil strife is a foregone conclusion.

And even if Princess Yicheng ascends to the throne, how many people are willing to obey a woman's orders? In the Central Plains Empire, it is so difficult to produce an empress, as long as it is even worse on the Turkic side, there will be no easier such saying.

What he had to do was probably add a fire to it.

By this time, he had begun to gradually determine that this was not a trap, because he was self-aware, and although he was now the head of the Daizhou marching army, and had the land of the three counties in his hands, he could not make such a calculated calculation for His Royal Highness the Turkic Kedun and Princess Yicheng.

He was eighty or ninety percent sure that it was true.

Of course, after that, no matter whether the woman agrees or not, he will send someone to go north with her, to see Princess Yicheng, the scout of Daizhou, and also go to the grassland sentinel in the clouds to investigate, once there is something wrong, it is another story.

Once he has made up his mind, he will never drag mud and water, and he will hesitate to look left and right.

Then everything in the future states will make way for this battle.

Princess Yicheng saw this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the same was true for him, as the head of the Daizhou March.

Under the First World War, he had to fight for several years to come out safely, and lost the Daizhou Border Fortress, which was suppressed by the Turks, and the strategic situation was completely different.

The woman was a little confused by this series of questions, but she also breathed a long sigh of relief in her heart.

Her posture has been lowered low enough, and it is not in line with the identity of the envoy of the Turkic powers, but this is the order of Her Royal Highness Princess Yicheng, because this trip must be successful, for this reason, Her Royal Highness even uses her favorite daughter as a bond of alliance, and if she makes a mistake here, she does not have to go back to see Her Royal Highness.
