Both Dahe Mokai and Tuli gasped, on the surface, this plan was adapted to local conditions, but in fact, the Dahe clan was placed in the center of the Khitan, blocking the front of the Ya tribe and Goguryeo. If the Heishui Sect went south and the Yakuza that were attached to Goguryeo wanted to go eastward, they had to pass through Raolak City; And once Fubu reached Pinggang City, it was only a matter of time before he defected to the Great Sui, so that the Great Sui would form a defensive line through Shengle City, Pinggang City, and Jiande City.

The Dahe Mokai could not agree to such a plan, so the Khitan stood in the middle of the various forces, gritted his teeth and said: "We, the Dahebu, can solve the city by ourselves." ”

Xu Shiji nodded as a matter of course and said, "Then Rao Lecheng will be given to the Yan clan." ”

The Great Sui promised to give the Yan tribe a county, and the Khitan did not want to spare the city, so it could naturally be arranged; The face of the Great Agamo Society became more and more gloomy, which was equivalent to handing over all the pastures to the north and east of Raola City to the Tatar people, and how to explain to the other tribes when they went back. Yang Chong spoke at the right time: "The Turks are not preparing the five counties of Khitan, otherwise you will arrange another county to come over, but the squeeze can only be in Raole City, and we must protect the safety of merchants." ”

The Great Sui gave in to this part, and there was no room for Da Hemo to bargain again, but everyone understood that the south of Raole City was Yingzhou, and no matter which tribe the Khitan sent over, in the end, like Fubu, it was the share of surrendering to the Great Sui. Tuli and Princess Huainan were eye-opening, and Yang Chong and the others broke down the Khitan into pieces while talking and laughing, or Dahe Mo would add the last spade of soil by himself.

Seeing that Tuli also nodded in agreement, Oga Mo thought about it for a long time, and decided that it would be better to accept this squeeze, gritted his teeth and said, "Let the Duhuo Department be in Raole City." ”

In the battle with the Sui army last year, the Duhuo tribe lost most of the young and strong men, plus the squeezing and blackmail of other tribes in the past year, the total number is now only 7,000, and the number of young and middle-aged people is less than 2,000. Xu Shiji said happily: "Then it is decided, since we are jointly building with the Turks, if the Yan and Goguryeo invade Raole City, the Great Sui will definitely send troops to help, the chief can rest assured, we will send people to assist the Duhuo Department, and bear most of the costs." ”

Xiao Yu listened to it in the back and almost covered his face with his hands, he understood why Li Tang was bound to lose, from Wei Chixiao, Zhang Jinshu, Cui Baoshan below, to Yang Chong, Xu Shiji, and Liu Heimin above, everyone was a good fighter, even if he was not proficient in foreign affairs, he understood that the Khitan Dahe Clan Alliance was at the end of the day today, and it was shattered under the pressure of the Great Sui and the Turks.

Dahe Mohui sneered: "General Xu, in addition to the construction of the city, you must always come up with some real money, right?" ”

Cui Baoshan smiled and said: "Dahe Mohui, in order to let the Turks agree to your tax, we will give the Northeast Tooth Banner 5,000 sets of armor. ”

Dahe Mohui and Sun Aocao suddenly changed color, what is the consequence of Tuli adding five thousand sets of armor, they know better than anyone that unless the Khitan continues to flee north, they will not be able to protect their clansmen at all. Princess Huainan let out a silver bell-like laugh and asked, "General Xu, we are very grateful to the Great Sui, but all of them are Mingguang Jia?" ”

Princess Huainan had the heart to ask, but she didn't expect Cui Baoshan to rush to say: "King Yue also said yesterday that he has an old relationship with Shibi Khan, and he has a brotherly relationship with Jieli Khan. The two commanders who went to inspect the goods have returned, and they can call up and ask. ”

The two commanders were a little excited when they came up, and told Tuli that all the Ming Light Armor given by the Great Sui was a full five thousand sets, and the ropes and chains were all new; Tuli hurriedly got up and apologized to Yang Chong, Yang Chong waved his hand and said: "You married Princess Huainan and took a big advantage, you go back and tell Jieli Khan about today's matter, I didn't break down your uncle and nephew's thoughts, he has problems in the other eighteen counties, and he can also send someone to find me." ”

Dagamo would think of the newly changed equipment of Tudiji's subordinates, and suddenly came to his senses: "This is the spoils of war that you captured from Goguryeo. ”

Xu Shiji said with a smile: "The chief is indeed smart, if you are interested, go together next time you fight Goguryeo, and you can also earn some armor and baggage." ”

Yang Chong smiled and said: "That's not in a hurry, Princess Huainan, you come back in half a month, your sister and the King of Chu are about to arrive, they and my wife Cui Yao are now in Luoyang, in the back." Shiji, where are the difficulties of the Khitan, and you will arrange it later, and give Dahe Mohui and Sun Aocao two batches of 500 pieces of iron armor each. ”

Du Fuwei and the others lagged behind because Du Fuwei and they wanted to go to Anyang to have a look, which was Yang Chong's newly built base, but it was completely managed by the Privy Council, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War. There are not only Cui Yao, but also Jiang Duo and Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan feels that he is old, the fallen leaves return to his roots, and he wants to die in his hometown, by the way, take a look at the new atmosphere of Hebei, and take a dozen students along the way, they take a look and walk, naturally it takes time.

Xu Shiji agreed, and Dahe Mohui's face looked a little better; Princess Huainan was overjoyed, her sister and brother-in-law would definitely speak better than Yang Chong. After the banquet was dispersed, the guests all went to the post house, Yang Chongcai changed his expression, and said to his subordinates: "It's time to solve the Xi clan." ”

Kumo Xi is another branch of Yuwen Xianbei, after the meeting of the Ahui Department and the Yuan Qi Fold, under the leadership of the Great Chief Su Zhi, in the reconstruction of the five, after all, the Yuan Qi Folded Department is actually a united tribe left in the hometown of the Xi Tribe, and the spiritual leader of the King of Humiliation is still there, but the population is only a quarter left. Yu Wenzheng, the chief of the Ao Lost Department who surrendered to the Great Sui, was ordered to send people to contact Su Zhi and the king of Hu, and the envoys of both times were killed, leaving only one way to solve the problem by force.

The Xi people's hometown is in the source of the weak water, the northwest is the southern foot of the Daxing'an Mountains, the southwest is surrounded by the Qilaotu Mountains, the southeast is formed by the Nurur Tiger Mountains to form a natural barrier, only the northeast is close to the plain, but it is the sphere of influence of the Yan people, from the south to the north, it is said that only a trough in the hinterland communicates. The trench is more than two miles long, thirty meters deep, fifty meters wide, and the two walls are steep, and the Xi people have built a large number of bow and crossbow positions at the junction of the trough and the peaks on both sides, and it is impossible to attack from the front.

Xu Shiji's plan is to capture Qilaotu Mountain, the northeast and southwest slopes of Qilaotu Mountain are steep and precipitous, the north slope is relatively gentle, the main peak Daguang Mountain is about six miles long, about five miles wide, there is a castle that connects all mountain roads, and 6,000 people from the newly built Duji Department of the Xi people are stationed on the mountain. As long as you take Daguang Mountain, you can directly enter the source of water, the key is that this battle cannot be fought for too long, once the source of Khitan and Yan Yan is caused, it is likely to give up halfway.
