When he was in the wine shop, Yi Zhixian finally compromised with Qin Cheng and handed over Princess Yi Xue, even though he knew that Qin Cheng was not really going to fight him to the death in the wine shop.

Zhi Xian knew that if he really died, the situation in the Western Regions might not be as good as Qin Cheng said, if Qin Cheng was indeed completely sure, why talk so much nonsense. With Qin Cheng's character of never liking mud and water, if he was really so confident in the situation, I am afraid that as soon as they met, he would let him ride a horse and step on the wine shop, forcibly rescue Princess Yi Xue, and then behead Yi Zhi diagonally here.

The countries of the Western Regions are complex, the situation is unpredictable, and the diplomatic relations between the countries are even more complicated, compared to the confrontation on the battlefield is simpler, and the real chapter is seen under the hands, whoever wins is the ability, and whoever loses has nothing. This is not the case with diplomatic relations, where there are too many influencing factors and they are unpredictable.

Yi Zhixian finally compromised and was willing to hand over Princess Yi Xue, because Qin Cheng had already won a first move in this confrontation between Mud City. Outside the wine shop, the Loulan army confronted the hussars, but they were threatened by the hussars' heavy cavalry with heavy crossbows, and they did not dare to step forward. Although this threat comes more from the fact that the king of Loulan is unwilling to tear his face with the big man, otherwise he really wants to rush to kill, is it true that Loulan's thousands of troops are really not a rice bucket?

The so-called first move, this is the case.

Yi Zhi lost the opportunity, so he couldn't help but admit defeat. If you don't admit defeat, the fish will die and the net will be broken, it is completely unnecessary, and the gains outweigh the losses. Handing over Princess Yixue is just to bring the game back to a relative origin, Yi Zhixian still has 30,000 troops in the north, and Qincheng still only has 500 heavy horses, what is the final ending, Yi Zhixian's mentality is not pessimistic.

At the end of the game, it is the time when the real winner is decided, and the one who has the last laugh is the real winner.

Outside the wine shop, Qin Cheng apologized to King Loulan, and King Loulan did not blame him too much. At this time, the king of Loulan kept a few thousand troops and did not go to the life and death battle with the hussars, because he didn't want the relationship between the two sides to deteriorate, and naturally he would not do anything to Qincheng at this time.

Of course, who Loulan is allied with is still undecided.

The game between Qin Cheng and Yi Zhixian has not yet been completed, and King Loulan needs to wait and see what happens. Even if he wants to join forces with Qin Cheng, at least he will not be so straightforward, let alone seal his retreat when the situation is not settled.

After King Loulan and Qin Cheng said a few words, they set their eyes on Yi Zhixian outside the wine shop. Yi Zhi's oblique demeanor had returned to normal, and there was no place on his body that revealed that he had lost a move in the battle with Qin Cheng just now.

Yi Zhi walked obliquely from the middle of the hussar heavy cavalry formation, and when he passed in front of Yi Xue'er, he did not squint, and turned a blind eye to the hussar heavy cavalry.

"Big Order." The king of Loulan walked down from the king's belt and saluted Yi Zhi obliquely, neither humble nor arrogant. Although the identities of the two sides are equal in theory, in fact, everyone knows how to do it, and King Loulan will not make a move.

"King Loulan." Yi Zhi placed his right fist in front of his left chest, bowed his head slightly, and the etiquette was not inferior to King Loulan.

"I didn't know that Da Dan Yu was here, this king lost his courtesy, and I want to ask Da Dan Yu to forgive me." Loulan Wang Gu Bo was not shocked, whether this is the meaning of apology or blame, it is up to the benevolent and the wise to see the wise, "Since Da Shan Yu has personally arrived in Loulan, can you meet in the palace?" ”

"Thank you, King Loulan." Yi Zhixian knew that King Loulan was just a kind word, and there was already a deep-rooted mustard between the two, although no one would mention the Thousand Miles King Five Thousand Elite Cavalry and the siege of Loulan Wangcheng and the death of General Loulan, but the hatred was naturally buried in the hearts of the two, and everyone was wary of the other, "This is only busy with government affairs, and now I have to go back to the desert." To meet with King Loulan into the palace, I can only wait until later. ”

Yi Zhixian seemed very indifferent when he said this, but these words, to the ears of many people of insight, were like thunder on the ground.

Xike teaman hesitated for a moment, glanced at Yi Zhi, and then at King Loulan, waiting for King Loulan's reaction.

King Loulan didn't seem to realize anything, but nodded and said, "In this case, please forgive this king for not using it." ”

"The king of Loulan invited him warmly, and Yi Zhi remembered it in his heart, and the next time he went to Loulan, he would definitely live up to his expectations." The corners of Yi Zhi's oblique mouth moved slightly, obviously there was something to say.

God knows what it will be like the next time Yi Zhi comes to Loulan. However, what is certain is that if there is really that day, Loulan must have prostrate at the feet of the Huns. Otherwise, Yi Zhixian would not have deigned to come to this small place again.

"This king is waiting for you." King Loulan said.

When the king of Loulan was talking to Yi Zhixian about these words, Qin Cheng stood aside, but he did not stop him.

The Xike teaman glanced at Qin Cheng suspiciously, wondering why Qin Cheng was indifferent to Yi Zhixian leaving the mud city.

If Yi Zhi left the mud city, he would inevitably lead an army of 30,000 to the south. At this time, do you still expect Yi Zhixian to have the patience to wait for King Loulan for seven days? It is right to force Qin Cheng to die here and let Loulan surrender. Only in this way can Yi Zhixian be defeated in the hands of Qin Cheng today, and the shame of giving up Yi Xue'er can be washed away.

Xike teaman wondered, such a simple truth, couldn't Qin Cheng understand?

As long as Yi Zhixian is controlled in the mud city, the Xiongnu army will inevitably be restricted, and not only that, but Qin Cheng, which has five hundred heavy cavalry, can even force Yi Zhixian to recognize the alliance between Loulan and the Han at this time. And if Yi Zhi leaves the mud city, the talisman of Qin Cheng will be gone, and when the Hun army arrives, what will happen to Qin City?

Could it be that Qin Cheng is already planning to run away?

Xike Chafu thinks that with his own understanding of Qincheng, this is by no means Qincheng's style.

Then why didn't Qin Cheng stop him at this time?

"Since the second king is still here to discuss the covenant with the king of Loulan, I hope that the king of Loulan will not let this single disappoint." Yi Zhixian finally said such a sentence, and said goodbye to King Loulan.

At the end, Yi Zhi turned to Qin Cheng and said, "Qin Cheng, you and I will see you again in the future." ”

The deep meaning and ruthlessness in the words are probably only something that Qin Cheng can understand.

"In the next and the words of the king of Loulan: Waiting for the master." Qin Cheng said lightly.

Yi Zhi snorted coldly, and still glanced at Yi Xue'er before leaving, with a complicated look in her eyes.

Zhao Xin followed Yi Zhixi, and it seemed that he wanted to send Yi Zhixian out of the city.

Yi Zhi left obliquely, and the king of Loulan did not have to stay here any longer, so he said goodbye to Qin Cheng, and at the same time the Loulan army withdrew.

For a time, the overcrowded street was empty, and only the sergeants who cleaned the corpses of the Hun warriors remained.

To Qin Cheng's surprise, Xike Chafu did not leave immediately.

"The general's strict governance of the army is really good, he is worthy of being the god of war of the Han Dynasty, and my minister has learned it today." Xike teaman saluted Qin Cheng, not like he was insincere.

Qin Cheng smiled casually, "Why don't you follow King Loulan into the palace?" With your performance today, you will definitely soar in the future, why don't you seize the opportunity to perform? ”

It was rare for the Xike teaman to show a wry smile, "The general didn't see the performance of the talent below. ”

"You don't have to see a lot of things to know what you're seeing." Qin Cheng talked to the Xike teaman as usual, as if he didn't care about the previous hostility of the Xike teaman to the heavy horseman. Also, after all, Xike Chafu is a native of Loulan, and he is also a courtier of the king of Loulan, and his previous behavior is really normal.

"Then the general must also know why Zai Xia stayed." Sico Teaman continued.

"I can imagine some." Qin Cheng said, "But if you stay for an answer and give up the opportunity to get close to the king of Loulan now, this is not in line with your style of fame and fortune." ”

"There are also two kinds of fame and fortune, one is short-sighted and only sees the immediate benefits; One is a little longer-looking, planning for long-term fame and fortune. "If you have a far-sighted vision, fame and fortune can last, and you must put on a layer of wisdom and usefulness for fame and fortune." ”

Qin Cheng laughed twice, "So you came to me to learn the scriptures?" ”

"Learning from the scriptures? Not bad to say. That's probably it. Xike teaman became serious, "I also asked the general for advice, why did you willingly let Yizhi leave?" Does the general not know that this is a return of the tiger to the mountain? ”

"Let the tiger go back to the mountain?" Qin Cheng nodded, "This is indeed the reason. But what can I do in this world? In the case that the king of Loulan has made up his mind to let Yi Zhixian go back, do I want to take five hundred heavy cavalry and thousands of Loulan troops to fight hard to keep Yi Zhixian? ”

"The king wants to let Yi Zhi go back? Why? Sico Teaman was surprised.

"Why not?" Qin Cheng asked rhetorically, "If the king of Loulan forcibly left Yi Zhixian in the mud city, wouldn't Loulan offend the Xiongnu to death?" What's in it for Loulan? ”

"Yes...... Now the king has decided to ally with the Great Han! The tea man was still puzzled and couldn't figure it out.

"Has it already been decided?" Qin Cheng asked rhetorically again, but he asked himself: "No." The king of Loulan had to choose between the Han and the Xiongnu, but it was not at this time. In other words, King Loulan is simply making a choice without a choice. Because only after the battle between me and Yi Zhixian is decided, will King Loulan choose, and choose the winner. Because Loulan can't choose the weak, and choosing the weak is death. So King Loulan is still waiting. ”

"Don't think it's strange, it's strange that King Loulan seems to have made up his mind to form an alliance with the Han Dynasty, why would he treat the Xiongnu so politely, and he must ensure that Yizhi leaves the city obliquely. He just wants Yi Zhi to go out of the city, and then he will see me and Yi Zhi slanted to divide the victory and defeat. In other words, see how I deal with the 30,000 army of Yi Zhixie. You know, what Loulan needs is a big man who can keep him intact under the threat of the Xiongnu, not an ally in name only. Otherwise, what is the use of Loulan asking for Dahan as an ally? ”

"Now, you understand?"

Sico Teaman frowned in contemplation. After a while, the Xike teaman raised his head and asked, "Can the Han ensure that Loulan is intact under the threat of the Xiongnu?" ”

Qin Cheng chuckled, "I don't count what I've said now." ”

"So what's the final say?"

"Results." Qin Cheng said, "The result of this contest with Yi Zhixian. "But Yi Zhixian has already left the city, and in less than two days, the Hun army will be able to reach the mud city, how will the general win at that time?" Xike teaman hurriedly said, "What hole cards does the general have, and he still refuses to take them out?" ”

Qin Cheng shook his head, turned around and got on the horse, and said that the secret of heaven should not be revealed. After that, under the eager gaze of the Xike teaman, he led the hussars back, leaving only one sentence: "Don't worry, Yi Zhixie's 30,000 army will never reach Mud City!" ”
