Although Old Lady Xu was still skeptical about this, Qin Luo's words moved him in the end. After pondering for a moment, Mrs. Xu asked, "What can you do?" ”

"Alliance with the Qingyun Ministry." Qin Luo said.

"Hahaha, Qin Luo, are you really on my side of Da Chu?" Old Lady Xu laughed angrily, "Alliance with the Qingyun Ministry, where is the Chishui Ministry?" You are letting Da Chu bring about his own destruction. ”

"Mrs. Xu, don't be impatient, wait until I'm done." Qin Luo was still calm, "I said that I would form an alliance with the Qingyun Ministry, but I didn't say that I wanted Da Chu to break off diplomatic relations with the Chishui Ministry. One light and one dark, each irrelevant. ”

"One light and one dark?" The old lady understood what Qin Luo meant, "Your courage is too big." It would be a monstrous disaster to let the Chishui Ministry know that we have dealings with the Qingyun Ministry. ”

Qin Luo knew that Old Lady Xu was too conservative, so he slowly persuaded step by step: "Mrs. Xu is too worried, the Qingyun Ministry sent me to come to the alliance secretly, so naturally I won't publicize it." God knows, you know and I know, where does the Chishui Department know? ”

Mrs. Xu was puzzled: "Don't let people know, what is the point of the alliance?" ”

After all, the alliance between the two sides is to let others know that they are united, and if anyone dares to provoke one side again, the other side will not sit idly by. And like Chishui and Da Chu using marriage to form an alliance, they are even more afraid that the other party will regret it, and whoever destroys the alliance at that time will not be reasonable in public opinion.

Qin Luo said: "The Qingyun Department was defeated by Chishui, and it is even more difficult to fight back. The Qingyun Department didn't ask for anything, just that Da Chu could provide some siege equipment, grain and grass weapons. ”

These are all military things, Old Lady Xu was shocked, "You want to help the Qingyun Department regain their royal court?" ”

"Exactly." Qin Luo said, "You don't know the current Yele Khan, he is actually bent on attacking the Central Plains, and now he is temporarily married, but he is just Taoguang and paralyzing Dachu." ”

"I heard that the envoy of the Chishui Ministry was very friendly to us after entering Chu." Old Lady Xu had seen General Feng's recitals and didn't quite agree with what Qin Luo said, "Moreover, Chishui and we have never been at war, but the Qingyun Department has invaded my old capital and slaughtered my subjects." ”

"Taifu Xu, if the Chishui Ministry is really as friendly as you said, how can it invade Danyang City?" Qin Luo bluntly retorted, "Yele Khan once married his eldest daughter to Tuoba Yan, but when it was time to rebel, he was not merciful to his son-in-law. ”

Old Lady Xu looked suspicious, and Qin Luo continued: "There is also a secret history, which has not been disclosed by the Chishui Ministry. In fact, it was not Yele Khan's eldest daughter who really married and married Qingyun in the past, but his second daughter, that is, Yeleyi, the young general who came to Chu this time. ”

"Ye Leyi, I heard General Feng say that she is a very powerful woman."

Qin Luo smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Yes, among the ten thousand armies, take the head of the person." Brave and strategic, he can be a famous general. Such a person, because he has the same appearance as his twin sister, easily deceived Tuoba Yan and lurked in the clouds, and I don't know how much confidential information he obtained. And the Chishui Department was able to defeat Qingyun so quickly, and their major general contributed a lot. ”

"There is such a ridiculous thing." Mrs. Xu was shocked.

"The lessons of the past are vivid. Mrs. Xu, for such a khan, we have to guard against it. ”

Mrs. Xu asked: "It seems that marriage cannot avoid the war between the two countries, so ...... Do you really want to sacrifice a princess and form an alliance with Chishui? ”

"Marriage, I still want it. Otherwise, it will immediately anger Yel Khan. Qin Luo said. Although he also hoped to destroy the marriage between the Chishui Ministry and Da Chu at first, after talking to General Feng, he found that Da Chu's strength was still too weak, and it would not do Da Chu any good to fall out with the Chishui Ministry now. They could only sacrifice one princess to stabilize Yel Khan for the time being.

"The emperor is young and has no heirs. The princess of the first emperor is either already married, or she ...... when the city is broken," Mrs. Xu said with a hidden face, "What we plan is to choose a talented and beautiful woman from among the clansmen or important ministers and canonize the princess." My granddaughter...... Also among those elected. ”

Qin Luo comforted: "Taifu, don't worry. Although Yel Khan is cruel, his son Yel Khan, with whom I have been friends for a long time, is gentle and kind, and will not treat the princess badly. ”

Old Mrs. Xu put away a trace of her sadness and preached back to business: "Okay, I can persuade the emperor to provide Qingyun with weapons." But Qingyun, what benefits can it give Da Chu? ”

"When Tuoba Yan reascends to the throne of Khan, Qingyun once invaded the land of Great Chu and returned it all."

"What did you say!" Mrs. Xu was stunned again, "All ...... Return? ”

"Yes, whether it was invaded by Tuoba Hao before, or ceded by Da Chu and Xiang Qiang when they negotiated peace. As long as it is the territory of Da Chu, it will be returned in full. ”

Recovering the lost land is indeed a good hope. Old Lady Xu asked, "Can you count when you speak, can Tuoba Khan agree?" ”

"The Qingyun Department is already in danger of extinction, he has fallen into this field, what else is there to disagree with?" Qin Luo said, "If Mrs. Xu is not at ease, when I return to Xiangqiang, I can bring a Great Chu envoy with me." Let him personally meet Tuoba Khan, and the two sides sign a secret contract. ”

"Feasible." Old Lady Xu nodded and said, "It's not that we don't trust you, if we don't have a contract, we really don't feel at ease." ”

Qin Luo smiled silently in his heart, the old lady was cautious in the end, but she was too pedantic. In fact, before he left, he didn't let Tuoba Yan promise such a rich return. It's just that for Qin Luo, it doesn't matter if he has a contract or not, the important thing is that he is still in Xiang Qiang. As long as he is in Xiangqiang for one day, he will definitely let Da Chu recover the lost land.

After Mrs. Xu's pass, Qin Luo's mood instantly relaxed. He sat down with Liu Changfeng slightly, discussed with Mrs. Xu how to enter the palace to face the saint, and left.

Liu Changfeng just watched Qin Luo and Mrs. Xu confront, and he held back his doubts, and he didn't dare to say anything. When he left the Xu Mansion, Liu Changfeng said: "Are you sure to persuade Tuoba Yan to return the land obediently?" ”

"Tuoba Yan has no chips in his hand now, so he has to agree." Qin Luo said, "Besides, I'm just saying this to appease Old Lady Xu, after all, the biggest enemy of Da Chu and Qingyun now is the Chishui Ministry. ”

Liu Changfeng thinks about it, defeating the Chishui Department is the most important thing. He asked again, "But we have met Miss Yereyi, will she guess that we have formed an alliance with Da Chu?" ”

"She might have thought that I was here to ruin their marriage." Qin Luo said, "So we have to make a drama to make her feel that we can't destroy the marriage and return in vain." And I also promised Tuoba to prevent them from marrying. ”

"I see that Yeleyi is so shrewd in doing things and speaking, I'm afraid I can hide it for a while, but I can't hide it for a lifetime." Liu Changfeng sighed and said, "Sooner or later, it will be discovered." ”

"It's good to have a 'moment', what Qingyun lacks most now is time." Qin Luo knew in his heart that it was still too difficult to deceive Ye Leyi I. Hide it for as long as you can.

"But when Yeleyi reacts, he will definitely attack Qingyun immediately. Will Qingyun be able to hold on? ”

"That's why we formed an alliance with the White Sands before." Qin Luo had already calculated it and prepared a countermeasure, "Although the Baisha Department is a little weaker, it should be able to resist for a while." ”

"That's right, it's a big tribe after all." Liu Changfeng said secretly in his heart, although it is the "big tribe" ranked first.
