So a few days later, the two got together again as promised. This time was different from the last time when he suddenly visited, Tuoba Shishu specially invited Tong Lifushe, and it was always said to the outside world that it was just an ordinary banquet between friends, and a very sumptuous banquet was set up in Tuoba Shishu's tent, as well as peach wine and milk tea obtained from Li Wenyuan in the Western Regions.

Tuoba Shi Shu poured a glass of peach wine for Tong Lifushe, handed it to Tong Lifushe, and said to him with a smile: "You come and try this, Li Wenyuan of the Western Regions newly invented a wine-making process, which is more mellow than the peach wine we bought from the Han people before, and the wine is much less strong." ”

After taking the glass of peach wine, he put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it. Then he also took a sip of peach wine, nodded to Tuoba Shi Shu and said: "It is indeed very different from the peach wine I usually drink, not only does it have the sour smell of peach, but the mellow smell on the tip of the nose and tongue is even stronger." And it has a pleasant taste, and it is indeed a fine wine. I guess the price you paid to get this kind of sake is not small. ”

"Actually, the price is not big, and I won't tell you the truth, these wines were given to me by a Han man who came to do business on our grassland. According to him, it was a patrol I arranged for south of the tent to save him from a gang of horse bandits. The wine and the milk tea were all used by him to thank me for saving his life. Tuoba Shi Shu poured out some peach wine for Tong Lifu from a large flat-bellied clay pot with a slender neck, and explained the origin of these peach wines to Tong Lifu with a smile.

"What kind of merchant would send you so much goods only to thank you for saving his life? I can't know those Han people anymore, they are all some unprofitable goods. With their slamming character, if they can come up with so many things to buy you off, then there must be other agreements to follow. "He himself is a little bad at drinking, so he drank a little more at this time, and he was already a little drunk, so he teased Tuoba Shishu with the strength of the wine and said.

"Hey, I really can't hide anything from you. You often say that I am far more intelligent than you, but now it seems that your intelligence is far superior to mine. As you said, after the Han merchant gave me the wine, he told me that he wanted to open a shop in our tent to sell the peach wine and milk tea that the Han man had brought, as well as some Han specialties such as tea. Moreover, this Han merchant was different from the previous merchants, who only recognized the furs and gold. But the merchant was a proponent of barter, and he would bring me two barrels of good peach wine every time he bought it. According to him, these two barrels of peach wine are worth more than all the goods he brought this time combined. According to him, this kind of peach wine in the Central Plains is specially paid tribute to the emperor of the Sui Dynasty to drink, if others get a cup of peach wine rewarded by the emperor must be enshrined in their ancestral hall, as a kind of glory to show off! In short, the way of thinking of those Han people is really very different from ours, anyway, I can't understand how such an ordinary glass of wine can have such great ability? ”

"What the hell is that weird-shaped clay pot in your hand? Why don't you just scoop the peach wine out of those barrels and pour it out from here? He had been paying attention to the clay pot in Tuoba Shishu's hand for a long time, and finally seized the opportunity to ask quickly.

"Ah, that's what you say. This was given to me by the Han man along with these peach wines, and he said what this is called a wine decanter. Scooping the barrel of peach wine here, after leaving it for a period of time, can make the wine more mellow, and at the same time can remove the fire and bitter taste in the wine. Tuoba Shi Shu shook the clay pot in his hand at Liversher and said.

"Cut. These Han Chinese have put all their ingenuity to such pleasures, and if they could devote half of this spirit to the development of their weapons and armor, then we Turks would have been no match for them. By the way, do you have any thoughts on what I told you a while ago? After drinking the peach wine in the cup, he poured a cup of milk tea from the side, and said to Tuoba Shishu while drinking.

Tuoba Shi Shu saw that he asked what he said some time ago, and whether he had any solution now, so he also drank the peach wine in the cup in front of him, and then said to him: "There is a way, but it needs your support." ”

He nodded and motioned for Tuoba Shi Shu to continue, and Tuoba Shi Shu also nodded and continued: "The army under his command is almost reorganized, and the training is almost over. During this time, a lot of manpower and material resources were spent to train this army, and if it dragged on for too long, it would eventually cause problems. Those Han people in the south are becoming more and more unstable, and I estimate that the days of stability for the emperor of the Sui Dynasty should come to an end. Moreover, recently, Li Wenyuan of the Western Regions has gathered most of his troops to the west, as if to prepare for war against the Khan. This is the opportunity I have been waiting for for a long time, Li Wenyuan has transferred all the troops, and then his rear will be empty. By the time he was inseparable from the shooter. I am ready to persuade Shibi Khan to raise troops to the south, and we will make peace with the Liang division, and take advantage of the weakness to capture the Wuwei army in one fell swoop. Then find a suitable opportunity to lose. I will persuade Shibi Khan to personally command the army, so that the loss of prestige caused by the defeat will be borne by Shibi Khan himself. At that time, if Shibi Khan accidentally dies in the chaos of the army, with your support, this Khan position should be nine out of ten. ”

"What if Shibi Khan hadn't died on the battlefield in the chaos of the army? Such instability is too high for us to take the risk. ”

"That's okay, after the defeat, Shibi Khan will be in a hurry, and after spitting blood, he will cause Chen disease on his body, and he will die of illness on the way out. It just so happened that I recently caught a Han Chinese doctor who had entered the grassland with refugees who had fled north. He used to be the imperial physician in the court of the Han people, and he had a slow prescription in his hand that killed people without seeing blood, and with this recipe, Shibi Khan would definitely not be able to come back when he went south this time. Tuoba Shi Shu said with murderous intent in his eyes at this time.

"Good! What a clever idea. Since you've already planned it, I'll fully cooperate with you. I wish us a happy cooperation, esteemed Khan. ”
