Chapter 417: Zhuojun Alliance (2)
After the envoy left, Xu Shiyun persuaded: "Your Highness, you shouldn't agree to him like this, I heard that you are more strategic than his brother, if you suddenly make trouble during the negotiation, I am afraid that it will be difficult to parry." ”
I don't know why, since I made this move in the Hebei Army, the people around me seem to be more alienated from me, and even the title has become much more respectful. I knew it wasn't going to be good, but I thought about a lot of things in the future, so I just let them go.
I said: "Although I am good friends with Dubi, but in a battle with Shibao's generals, the Turks suffered a lot of casualties. ”
After thinking about it, I ordered someone to lay out paper and ink, wrote a letter, and ordered Luo Shixin to send it to the Dubi army, so that Dubi could read it first, and then bring a reply.
Luo Shixin went early the next morning, and returned in the afternoon, telling me that he had agreed, but there was one condition, he wanted Chen Bing to be ten miles away from our military camp, and the city gate was not to be closed in Zhuo County.
My request was for him to go to the city of Zhuojun for a while.
He was not happy to agree, which means that he also has doubts in his heart.
I rode away from the barracks alone, and didn't go far, when a fast horse came behind me, and when I looked back, it was Luo Shixin, who caught up with me and said, "Your Highness, you are going alone, it is too risky, and the general is willing to follow." ”
I said, "That's fine." ”
Looking up, I saw from a distance that Du Bi was coming alone, and there was no one by his side.
As he got closer, he slowed down the reins and arched his hand at me on his horse: "Jinyang farewell, I didn't expect to meet here." ”
I took the reins and pointed towards the county town of Zhuo: "Please! ”
Aggressively said: "Okay! ”
So saying, I rode away, and when I entered the city, I dismounted, and said to Roshi, "You are here to keep watch, and the gates of the city need not be closed." As he spoke, he pointed to the top of the city tower and said to Du Bi, "On the city tower that day, I couldn't enjoy it, so why don't I climb it again today, how about saying goodbye?" ”
Dubi hated these crepe words, frowned, and then smiled: "The people of the Central Plains have a saying, let the guests do whatever they want." ”
I led him up to the Zhuojun Tower, climbed high and looked into the distance, only to see the smoke and dust billowing in the distance, it was the aggressive Turkic army galloping towards Zhuojun.
Looking into the distance, he said slowly: "In the past, Brother Ji Ji Shi talked about Mr. ...... Oh, now it's time to call Your Highness, when you talk about Your Highness, you once said that Your Highness is a proud person, but you don't have much heart to run the world, why is it that you suddenly become interested in these things now? ”
Shibi Khan didn't know much about me, and his words were naturally good.
I only shook my head and said, "Although Shibi Khan has never commented on you in front of me, according to my observation, although you have the heart to rule the Turks, you have no intention of encroachment. ”
He sighed, shook his head and said: "Yes, I've been wondering, is it because compared to you, our people are not fully civilized, so brothers actually kill each other, I have always admired you, advocating loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, although these things are not completely avoidable, but it is better than us." ”
Hearing these words, I was almost embarrassed, although the Central Plains is known as the "state of etiquette", what loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, that is just a weapon for the ruler to put the people under house arrest, without these, how can their rule be stable and long-lasting?
As for the rulers themselves, they are well aware of the uselessness of these empty words, and there are far more fratricidal and fratricidal incidents than the Turks.
He looked back at me and smiled, "What's wrong with you?" ”
I came back to my senses and smiled bitterly, "You are wrong. ”
Aggressively said: "What did you say wrong?" ”
I said, "Think about it, why am I here, isn't it because of brothers?" Duh, I'm just like you...... No, worse than you. ”
Dubi thought about it, knowing that his previous words were a little out of words, so he said: "I'm sorry, I just felt something, and I forgot that you are in such an embarrassing place now." ”
I smiled, but ignored it.
He added: "If you really want to fight those people to the end, you can't be like this. ”
I said, "What?" ”
He said: "Your identity is still His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, I think this is inappropriate." ”
I thought about it, hesitated, and knew that if I continued to talk about it, it would touch on the fact that I had always been unwilling to face, so I had to change the topic and say, "Of course I know." Dubi, I ask you, what are you going to do with it? ”
Dubi thought for a while and said, "I don't plan to deal with him, he has no soldiers now, so he shouldn't be able to do anything." ”
I shook my head and said, "That's not going to work. ”
Hearing this, he said, "What do you want?" ”
I said, "I'll kill him for you." ”
He frowned and shook his head, "No." Our people will not kill each other, keep him alive, and I promise that he will not pose any threat to you. ”
I thought about it for a moment and finally asked, "He won't, what about you?" As he spoke, he pointed to the tens of thousands of troops outside the city.
Hearing this, he looked at me for a moment, finally understood, shook his head and smiled: "Your Highness wants to exchange my life for a word?" ”
I nodded, knowing that he already knew it, and I didn't bother to explain.
He said: "When you gave me the family emblem of Brother Ji Shi back then, you didn't have the slightest suspicion, why are you suspicious of me now?" ”
I said: "Dubi, please forgive me, I promised Zimin to take the whole world and give it to her, before that, I didn't dare to take risks." ”
Dubi pondered for a moment and said, "Okay." ”
I said, "Thank you." If there is a world in the future, I will not be difficult with you. ”
The friendship between the two countries, one has no letter of alliance, and the other has no oath, so a few simple words that are so light and understated can be regarded as a mutual covenant.
After a short time, the bowl was brought up.
He was tied up by five flowers, and when he saw this, he hurriedly untied it for him himself, and said while untying it: "Go back." ”
Shi Bobi knew that he was at a loss, and he didn't dare to face Du Bi at all, so he nodded resignedly, and retreated behind Du Bi.
A simple "good" word is a promise that no matter how I go south, the north will definitely have no worries, and I am now a little weaker than Xiao Milling, and the situation is like this, I have no choice.
I led him to the barracks outside the city, drank with him for a while, and personally returned him to the Turkic army.
After he left, I looked at the map and pointed at Jiankang with a finger of my hand.
Xu Shiyun looked at it from the side, shook his head and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm afraid this is not appropriate." ”
I looked back and saw that Xu Shiyun was also looking at the map with a solemn face, and asked, "Why not?" ”
Xu Shiyun said: "Dajiang natural insurance, this is one of them; It will be difficult to plot Jingluo in the future, and this is the second. ”
