(Finally surpassed by 1946)

At this time, Zhao Yiru was in the big tent of the Tuhut people.

He finally distinguished who the national teacher was, that is, the first middle-aged man sitting on Tie Bazhen's left hand side, in his forties, with a national face, a stocky and strong body, and a short forehead under his forehead. He is rough and slightly subtle, his eyes are deep, and his speech is very rhythmic, except for the quiet temperament that is revealed from time to time, it is no longer obvious from his appearance that he has anything to do with Yongren, especially his clothes, which will soon be late spring, even if it is a little cold in the morning and evening, wearing a robe with snow rabbit fur cuffs, it still makes Dongxia people like Zhao Yiru feel strange.

The national teacher seems to be inclined to Chen Guo, yesterday and the last time he went on an envoy, although he didn't hear much of his words, but there was a detail, Zhao Yiru recalled.

He took out a list of the treasury property, and many Tuhute nobles competed to see it, but this national teacher did not even look at it.

And Zhao Yiru also remembered that he came up yesterday and threatened in court that if they dared to help Chen Guo, Dongxia would beat them after beating Chen Guo, and there was silence in the Khan court for a long time, although they were very unconvinced, scolded and shouted angrily, and asked to pull themselves out and kill them, but they were really shocked by the tone of their own king, and after reading the letter written by the king in Mengwen, Tie Bazhen did not circulate it, but directly gave it to the national teacher, and the national teacher only said flatly: "You must be able to destroy Chen Guo first." ”

What does this mean outside the words of the national teacher?

I won't let you destroy the Chen Kingdom.

In addition to the national teacher, Zhao Yiru also knew some other nobles, but they were generally hostile to Chen Guo, and they were not close to Dongxia, and their hostility was worse than unfriendly.

Therefore, Zhao Yiru felt that the alliance with Chen Guo was most likely promoted by their national teacher.

Why their national teacher promoted an alliance with Chen Guo, Zhao Yiru couldn't explain. Originally, when he came to the Khan Court again, he planned to say in public that the national teacher had colluded with Chen Guo, but yesterday, according to what the king taught him, he touched the minister Ze'er Hu, who had asked him if the king of Dongxia had the blood of Mengzat, and only then did he know one thing, the national teacher had been a supporter of Tie Bazhen from the beginning, and he had made outstanding contributions in the process of Tie Bazhen obtaining the Khan position, and he had led the troops out of Chen Guo twice, and one of his sons died at the hands of Chen Guoren.

It is useless for such a person to say that he colluded with Chen Guoren.

Ze'er suddenly also asked Zhao Yiru something, and asked him if the jade seal of the country was in the hands of the king of Dongxia.

It means a lot when I ask this.

After all, Zhao Yiru did not have too deep contact with him, thinking that this was the other party's desire to hint at him, and the jade seal of the country may be the key to making Tie Bazhen withdraw from the army.

He listened to Ze'erhu's meaning, and the Tuhut nobles were generally close to Dongxia, but he couldn't see it at all.

Although he looked down on a tribesman like Tuhute, he still thought that this Ze'er Huken was willing to communicate with him, and if he wanted to reveal something, there was no doubt that he had his intention and purpose, as for what it was, it was still unclear until now.

After the battle of crossing the river last night, although the Tuhut people tried their best to conceal it, the movement was so big, and Zhao Yiru also knew about it.

Last night, I fought in the middle of the night, and today Tie Ba really wants to see himself?

Zhao Yiru is sure that the Tuhut people have suffered a big loss.

He looked up, a smile already on his lips.

Tie Bazhen was dressed in an ochre robe, sitting upright, shaking the golden cup in his hand, and his eyes burst with a vicious light. He is now only thirty-six or seventeen years old, he has no hair, his hair is very smooth, his body is even, tall and strong, his face is ruddy, only slightly dark, his cheekbones are slightly high, and he looks kind and warm when his eyes are not vicious.

Zhao Yiru couldn't help but aim at his golden cup, shaking the golden cup in the morning, I don't know if it was filled with wine, anyway, Zhao Yiru felt that with this alone, he was compared to his own king. He didn't know what the kings of other countries were like, anyway, he felt that drinking in the morning was a sign of greed, and the kings of their family were afraid of drinking and making mistakes, and they refused to touch the wine unless there was any heavy activity.

The Nayong man who was very impressed was still sitting in his original position on the left side, holding a fox waist robe, next to him? There is one more person, and a middle-aged man who sits more like a Yong person. Is this where the important minister sits? Why didn't you see it a few days ago? Did you not care at the time?

Zhao Yiru observed attentively.

He was waiting for Tie Bazhen to speak first, but Tie Bazhen didn't speak.

Seeing that the tent was full of people, with fierce eyes focused on him, and no one spoke, he was sure once again that the battle in the night was so fierce that these people hated him.

Since you don't speak, I'll speak first.

Zhao Yiru said loudly: "After a day, does the King of Khan have any ideas?" ”

Tie Bazhen put down the wine glass, forced his eyes over, and said loudly: "According to the list you have made, plus the jade seal of our Mengzat people, I will withdraw from the army." ”

Really?

Zhao Yiru glanced to the side gratefully, trying to find Ze'er Hu who reminded him. Then he withdrew his gaze, because many people seemed surprised, and the national teacher, who barely spoke, also shouted: "Great Khan? ”

Tiebajin held out a hand to stop him.

That Yongren, pure Yongren, the one that Zhao Yiru didn't remember, he got up and said slowly: "Great Khan." Do you want me to follow the conditions? ”

Zhao Yiru suddenly understood in her heart, laughed, and took a step forward: "It turns out that you are from Chen Guo." At this time and that time, three days is enough for us to do a lot of things in Dongxia, and our troops have been freed up, does the king of Khan think that we will still give you the goods in vain? As for the heirloom jade seal, if you Mengzat people's heirloom jade seal is not good to keep it yourself, how can it be in our Dongxia? ”

The people in the big tent were shocked.

They didn't expect that three days later, Dongxia came to make an envoy who didn't recognize what he was going to give, and they didn't react for a while, but their eyes were like irrepressible anger, shining.

Tie Bazhen smiled and said softly: "After beating Chen Guo, beating Ben Khan?" So what are you here for? Don't say a word, just fight. ”

Zhao Yiru said calmly: "I'll come." As soon as I came to convey my king's words, I told you that as long as you dare to help Chen Guo and my Dongxia as enemies, and after fighting Chen Guo, I will beat you. The second is to know, what can you get by helping a country that is about to fall? Only by following us to fight Chen Guo can we divide gold and silver, divide land, divide heads, and fight with us, but it only increases our difficulty and casualties. Our king asked me to ask the Great Khan, how did we give the Tuoba Pass to His Majesty compared to the gift given to the Great Khan by the State of Chen? A huge grassland, where you can graze, hunt, and go south to exchange with the people of the Central Plains for the copper, iron, grain, cloth, tea, and even refined salt you need, does the Great Khan feel that it is more or less than what Chen Guo gives? ”

The Yongfu man from Chen Guo turned his head and said with a smile: "I want to ask your country two questions, there is a Tuhu Great Khan on our Chen State's side, can your country win?" If your country loses, we will also pay the Great Khan of Tuhu in the Xiaye steppe of your Eastern Xia? ”

Zhao Yiru was vigilant.

Sensing the sharpness and calm of the man, he smiled and said, "We will win." If the Great Khan were to side with you, we would also win. As I said just now, it is nothing more than a little more difficult to win, and the casualties are a little bigger, since you are an envoy of the Chen State, you should know this point, you are trapped in the 300,000 horses surrounded by us, and it is possible that they will disappear overnight. The Great Khan followed an ally who was bound to lose, and what could he gain except to add some orphans and widows to the country? If the Great Khan had followed a victorious ally, he would have received the spoils of war. ”

The Yongfu man was not angry at all, and said with a smile: "Then let me ask the second question, since our two countries together are not your opponents in Dongxia." After destroying our Chen State, will you still give the Tuoba Pass to the Great Khan? ”

Zhao Yiru was stunned.

This man is too poisonous.

According to Zhao Yiru's statement, the two sides together can't beat Dongxia, after beating Chen Guo, what should Dongxia do if he doesn't give Tuhu the Great Khan Tuba Pass?

Zhao Yiru was a little flustered, and he didn't have time to crack it.

If he was given time, he could clarify the battle between Jingkang and Chen Guo, but at this moment, he was too late, so he had to say, "I promise." ”

The Yongfu man laughed and said, "You promise, even if Diao himself stands up and promises?" Great Khan letter? ”

Tie Bazhen also smiled and said, "The strength of the Tuhut people is a guarantee, and you don't want to provoke the Buliu Gu Patriarch." He said lightly: "Those belongings, as well as the heirloom jade seal." As long as you bring it, I will withdraw from the army. You go back and tell Sù Dia Bird, and he will know what he should do. ”

Zhao Yiru said: "In that case. Then I will take my leave, and speak this to our king. ”

With that, he walked out.

Tie Bazhen gave a general a little, he should have asked the general to send him away.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he motioned for the group to disperse.

Buliu Gu Xuanyang seemed to have something to say, and the Tuhute National Master shook his head for him, and he stayed.

After everyone left, Tie Bazhen's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he smashed the golden cup and roared, "National Teacher." In one night, we lost thousands of Tuhuts, and Ben Khan stood by the river and watched, with a fire in his heart. ”

The Tuhut National Master asked rhetorically: "With such a result, does the Great Khan still hesitate?" He sneered and said, "I have already admonished the king, but the king wants to pick up a bargain on both sides." ”

Tie Bazhen said: "No. National Teacher. Only you insist that we form an alliance with the state of Chen, and last night it was proved that Dongxia was not so easy to fight. What did the national teacher fall in love with Chen Guo? ”

The national teacher smiled: "Tuoba Pass." ”

Tie Bazhen was thoughtful.

The national teacher said softly: "We can't take it from the hands of the Dongxia people, but it is easy to take it from the hands of Chen Guo." Chen Guo? After this battle, his vitality was greatly damaged. We need it to be alive. Without Chen Guo, Dongxia would dominate. I remember my father telling the Great Khan the story of the three kingdoms of the Yong people. We may be able to get temporary benefits from peace talks with Dongxia now, but what about long-term benefits? ”

He also said: "The tentacles of Eastern Xia have extended to the Eastern Fierce Plains. Dia Bird has the blood of the Mammut, and he is the blood of the Wanhu family, and compared to the Chen State, he will become the biggest threat to our Tuhut people. ”

Tie Bazhen said coldly: "He stretched out his hand to Mengyuan, and I will chop it off for him." The reason why we were polite to him was because our food and clothing came from Dongxia. I'm afraid he'll cut off trade. ”

The national teacher said: "The right to trade is fought, we didn't fight before, because it's not the time, now we fight, threatening his life, if we win, whatever we say, why worry about trade rights?" ”

He also said: "Dongxia is the enemy of the grassland, and Dia Niao is a tiger wolf, but he has just risen, and we have heard less about it." Tuoba Weiwei is already old, he will die, he is dead, his children and grandchildren are not easy to surpass him, the eight pillars of his country are all a generation of heroes, can his sons drive him? But Dia Bird is different, he is young, he is in the sky, he can still open up territory. Looking at every step he takes, he has a famous name, he went north to the eastern fierce plains, maybe he wants to attack our Tuhut people, sooner or later he will have to fight him, it is better to fight early than late. He has only been established in Dongxia for five years now, and his strength is not strong, and Chen Guo, who has hundreds of thousands of troops standing beside us, why don't you fight him now? ”

The national teacher said: "I have also seen the battle at night, our Tuhut people have suffered heavy casualties, but don't forget the king, we have not crossed the river to fight, our people are not as good as their weapons, almost every one of them is wearing armor, at that time they have horses, our horses are not transported, in the dark night, the people who go up are in chaos. This is the price we paid to cross the river, but if we continue to fight, our heroic and warlike Tuhuts may not be able to defeat Dongxia. ”

Tie Bazhen nodded and said, "I think so too, I just think that the casualties in the fight against Dongxia are too great." He added, "Since this is the case, it would be good for the national teacher to stop me just now." ”

The national teacher shook his head and said, "Why did you stop you?" It's okay to paralyze the Dongxia people, this time I hope that the Great Khan can make up his mind and stop being greedy, otherwise he will eat Chen Guo, and we will not be able to blackmail him, so the Great Khan will cooperate with the Chen people and fight according to the way they give us. After all, they have been fighting against Dongxia and know where to fight and where not to fight. ”

Tie Bazhen nodded and asked rhetorically, "Bao Lan?" ”

The national teacher emphasized: "Bao Lan, it's not because Chen Guo himself feels that it's not easy to fight and leaves it to us, but because they can't fight." Baolan is the rear of Dongxia, maybe the food and ordnance are there, why not fight? He smiled and said: "The king is worried that in the future, Chen Guo will ignore it and Dongxia will rob us of the back road, so we will allocate 80,000 troops to fight, and this is left as an excuse to attack Lingwu...... Anyway, as soon as we leave, Chen Guo will fill in a large number of troops. ”

Tie Bazhen said: "Leave 20,000 or 30,000 people on the back road, and take into account the old and weak, the number of troops is too small, Chen Guo and Dongxia can cut off our retreat, then leave half." As for whether Chen Guo dares to fill in the Lingwu again, it depends on their courage, anyway, we will not use all these people to attack the Lingwu, if their Great Khan comes, we will send 20,000 people to help them, and the rest will say that we are waiting for their food and weapons. ”

He made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "National teacher." It should also be thanks to this battle, not this battle, no matter what you say, I can't wake up, and now he doesn't seem to want to give the goods in Dongxia, so he knows his character like a bird and a horse. I didn't expect to underestimate him all the time. ”
