Zuo Youxian held the wolf's head given by the Turkic Lingli Khan himself, followed by the Lingli Khan to escort the Zuoyouxian Turkic Guards, a large number of guards set off the dignity of Zuo Youxian, when Zuo Youxian's team arrived less than ten miles away from the city wall of Mayi, the defenders of Mayi looked at the Turkic wolf's head from afar.

"Quick! Inform the King! The Turkic envoys arrived. Zuo Youxian came to the city wall of Mayi, and was about to call the door to the soldiers on the city wall, when the general of the Turkic Guards behind him stopped him:

"Lord Zuo, don't call. After a while, Liu Wuzhou, the king of Dingyang, will open the city gate and welcome us into the city. ”

"Oh! That's right! After a while, the north gate of Ma Yi opened, and Liu Wuzhou, accompanied by Song Jingang and others, went out of the city to greet Zuo Youxian and others:

"Wechen! Liu Wuzhou, the king of Dingyang, greeted the envoy of the Khan, and the envoy was tired of saddle horses all the way, and Xiao Wang had prepared a sumptuous banquet and a clean residence for the envoys. Envoys are invited to rest in the city. Zuo Youxian put the wolf head in his hand into the hands of the Turkic soldiers beside him. On the horse, he showed a cheap grinning face to Liu Wuzhou:

"Oops! King Dingyang was too polite. In that case, then someone on the left is welcome. Please send someone to meet the road in front, someone on the left stayed in the desert royal court for more than ten days, and his body was also dusty, and he could rub out the mud, and the food in Mobei was really not as exquisite as the dishes in the Central Plains! Please ask the king of Dingyang to quickly send someone to lead the way, in the next way, I am embarrassed to the banquet, and I heard that the king of Dingyang attaches great importance to the decree of the Khan, and it just so happens that there is also the decree of the Khan of Lingli in the lower body, I don't know if the prince of Dingyang is here to see it or we are eating and talking at the banquet? "Zuo Youxian commanded on the horse, even the Turkic soldiers behind Zuo Youxian were a little unbearable, even the Turks, after coming to Mayi, they also had the least politeness to Liu Wuzhou, although the Turks looked down on traitors, but as the saying goes, the hands of people are short, and the mouth of eating people is soft, no matter how much you look down on them, you will not be like Zuo Youxian. The civil officials and military generals around Liu Wuzhou were eager to step forward and pull Zuo Youxian off the horse, but on the one hand, Liu Wuzhou was by his side, and on the other hand, the current Mayi regime had to rely on the Turkic support, so they all stared at Liu Wuzhou, and Liu Wuzhou was also extremely angry in his heart: 'Zuo Youxian, you villain, really responded to that sentence - the sub-line Zhongshan wolf, and the ambition is rampant. But after being the King of Dingyang for so long, Liu Wuzhou himself knew the severity, and immediately said to Zuo Youxian with a smile on his face:

"Lord Zuo really responded to that sentence, three days when I don't see each other, Lord Zuo and this king have not seen each other for more than ten days, I can't imagine that Lord Zuo came to see this king as a Jianghuai envoy, but now he has become a counselor under the seat of Lili Khan, this color has changed really, this king is beyond reach!" Secretly satirizing Zuo Youxian is like a chameleon, where does Zuo Youxian not understand Liu Wuzhou's ridicule, but since the Wuhu Chaohua, the Huayi defense in orthodox Confucianism has collapsed, but the theory of good birds choosing trees and perching is popular in the Central Plains, and Zuo Youxian is not ashamed at all. Instead, he asked Liu Wuzhou rhetorically:

"Lord Dingyang, everyone is enjoying the shade under a big tree, so don't let the eldest brother not talk about the second brother. Let's hurry up and arrange for our group to enter the post house to rest and bathe, so as to read out the edict of the prince of Dingyang as soon as possible. Liu Wuzhou was robbed of white by Zuo Youxian, and felt that he couldn't take advantage of Zuo Youxian, so he had to let Zuo Youxian take Zuo Youxian to the post house to bathe. Later, he listened to the holy oracle of the Khan of Lingli in the palace of the king of Dingyang:

"The eagle on the desert steppe, the son of the wolf god, the holy oracle of the Turkic Lili Khan - sue Liu Wuzhou, the king of Dingyang, Zuo Youxian is the envoy of this Khan, no matter what he asks, you have to agree, if you disobey his will is disobey my will, please do it yourself." Hearing such a bad wording from the Khan, Liu Wuzhou forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and asked the Turkic generals who often came to the Mayi area around Zuo Youxian:

"General Valaha! Is this what Khan meant? General Valaha glanced at Zuo Youxian and said affirmatively:

"Yes, Lord Dingyang, the Khan's exact words at this time." Zuo Youxian looked at Liu Wuzhou with a smile, thinking to himself: "Hmph! Liu Wuzhou, do you think I won't give you back the shame you gave me last time, and if I don't get back face, I won't be called Zuo Youxian. And you don't know yet, right? This man's wife was An Yi Ke Dun's maid, and An Yi Ke Dun had already secretly instructed him. As long as it is not unfavorable to the Turks and the Khan, what the labor and management say is what it is, besides, the labor and management have also brainwashed these Turks along the way, and they have also sent a lot of things, what do you Liu Wuzhou want to ask? No way. ’

"Lord Wang! Do you still have any questions? If you don't want to ask, you can ask the general, but it's better to ask, because it's the right master. Liu Wuzhou gritted his teeth and respectfully asked Zuo Youxian:

"Dare to ask what the envoy commands?" Zuo Youxian squinted his eyes and said to Liu Wuzhou:

"Lord Dingyang, Lili Khan is very concerned about the alliance, and hopes that our various forces will join forces to deal with Li Tang, but the strength of each force is not equal! So to communicate with each other, for example, your country is short of salt, so our King Wu sent a million catties of salt, but there is a famous saying among the people called come and not be rude, but I don't know what the prince of Dingyang sent us King Wu to express his gratitude? Liu Wuzhou pretended not to care about anything.

"The envoy can only say whatever he wants, as long as the king can take anything out." Zuo Youxian slowly swallowed:

"Lord Wang, this is what you said, you can do whatever you want." Liu Wuzhou suddenly had a feeling of being trapped, but what he said was the water that was spilled, not to mention that Liu Wuzhou was also the king of a country, and he still knew how to say four words:

"Please speak clearly!"

"That's good! There is a lot of salt in the land of Jianghuai, but there is a lack of iron ore raw materials for making weapons, and the subway mountains in Shanxi occupied by the king are numerous and rich in resources, so I ask the king to support our country with 10,000 catties of high-grade pig iron, so as to consolidate the alliance between our country and your country. (In the era of cold weapons, pig iron is a scarce raw material for making weapons, especially in Shanxi, in the Tang and Song dynasties was the main raw material supplier of weapons workshops in the Central Plains, according to historians, in the original two Song Dynasty, whether it was the Liao State or the Jin State can fight to the death according to the Song Dynasty is because the Song Dynasty army in addition to poor command and do not pay attention to the military generals and other reasons, the poor quality of weapons is also a very important reason.) ）

"What, the envoy wants pig iron?" Pig iron is a very important strategic resource, every year Liu Wuzhou is a fixed tribute to the Turks, the number of iron is a few hundred catties, and they are all wrought iron that has been used. Now Zuo Youxian is 10,000 catties when he opens his mouth, and what he wants is high-grade pig iron, Liu Wuzhou has a feeling of being cut meat, and Zuo Youxian sees it in his eyes:

"What? What the prince of Dingyang said doesn't count, he still swore before, but it doesn't matter, if the prince doesn't want to give, there is no way to do it, but I'm afraid it's not easy to explain it to the Khan! And this 10,000 catties of pig iron is not necessarily required, I am afraid that the name of the prince of Dingyang who is treacherous and treacherous will spread all over the world! And that Li Tang is eyeing the prince, if the Li Tang army comes to recover the lost territory in the future, but the prince is unhappy with the Khan of Li, and loses his trust in the allies of the world, or when the Turks and Luoyang are already in Shandong, King Dou will also take advantage of the fire to rob, I am afraid that the death of the prince will not be far away. There is not much time left, and I have to go to Luoyang, so I won't delay here. Liu Wuzhou hurriedly stopped Zuo Youxian:

"Lord Zuo, why be angry! 10,000 catties is 10,000 catties, but it still takes time to raise this fund, so please wait for the king for ten days. ”

"Three days!"

"Three days is not good, how about seven days?"

"Four days! Up to four days! ”

"Six days! How about six days? ”…… Liu Wuzhou and Zuo Youxian bargained like a market aunt, and finally reached a consensus within five days. Zuo Youxian pointed behind him:

"Lord Dingyang! This is my right-hand man who sat down with Wu Wangye Fugongtuo - Wu Liuyi, so I asked Lord Wu to go and assist Wang Ye's subordinates. I believe that it will be done within five days, and there is no falsehood. Lord Wu, you can pay more attention to your eyes! Wu Liuyi nodded and replied:

"Yes! Sanguni-sama! Liu Wu Zhouxin said that Zuo Youxian was really cunning, and he wanted to participate in this 10,000 catties of high-grade pig iron, but who knew that he was still mixed with sand by Zuo Youxian. After the inspection of 10,000 catties of high-grade pig iron, Wu Liuyi secretly said to Zuo Youxian:

"Lord Xiangguo, the little one is really convinced of you, this 10,000 catties of pig iron, and I have checked the villain, all of them are high-grade pig iron, there is no fake, but it can make more than 100,000 people's swords, guns and shields. After Wu Wang Ye knew about it, he would definitely reward the adults for their meritorious deeds. Zuo Youxian said to Wu Liuyi:

"Six arts, six thousand catties of pig iron will be separated from the middle, and you will personally escort them back to Jiangnan and hand them over to King Wu. The rest I use. ”

"My lord, please also tell me what the other four thousand catties of pig iron are used for, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to King Wu in Xia." Zuo Youxian knew that Wu Liuyi was the hardcore of Fugongtuo, and if he didn't tell Wu Liuyi all his intentions, I was afraid that there would be some unnecessary misunderstandings in Fugongtuo at that time. Zuo Youxian explained to Wu Liuyi in detail:

"For example, today's secession, the major separatist forces have experienced several wars, and there is a shortage of weapons, and the pig iron is the best in Shanxi. Therefore, the other 4,000 catties, there are 2,000 catties we want to send to Lili Khan, in order to tie his heart, 1,000 catties to Wang Shichong in Luoyang, and 1,000 catties to Dou Jiande of Le Shou, remember, only when the rain and dew are evenly stained and everyone has benefits can we deal with Li Tang together. After hearing this, Wu Liuyi gave a thumbs up to Zuo Youxian:

"Adults are far-sighted, and my generation is beyond the reach of the dust!"

"Also, please tell King Wu that I am preparing 100,000 catties of salt, and I will quickly transport it to Luoyang after receiving my letter, and I will use it wisely."

"Yes! The little one must have passed this word to King Wu's ears word for word. After Wu Liuyi left, Zuo Youxian handed over two thousand catties of high-grade pig iron to General Valaha.

"General Valaha, please tell the Khan and Khatun that these two thousand catties of high-grade pig iron are the first sincerity of the next." General Valaha clenched his fist to Zuo Youxian and signaled:

"Lord Zuo, please rest assured, these two thousand catties of high-grade pig iron will definitely be sent to the Khan and Kedun." Zuo Youxian sent his henchmen to Leshou with a thousand catties of high-grade pig iron, and he embarked on a journey to Luoyang with a thousand catties of high-grade pig iron.

Historical trivia: pig iron - iron ore has just been processed, which is the best raw material for weapons in the ancient cold weapon era, with extremely high toughness, and wrought iron is the iron made by pig iron after rusting and recycled again after being melted, the more times it is generally recycled, the worse the toughness.
