Zhao Shuo was a little embarrassed, thinking that after defeating Mu Tuo, he could exchange for a short period of peace. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info But who would have thought that Zhao Gou would form an alliance with Mu Tuo at this time. Another point is that the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty is too thick, and the number of small cannonballs produced is really too much.

The Great Song Dynasty was in the south and Mutuo was in the north, both posing a threat to Zhao Shuo.

"The more you want to strive for the development of Taiping, the more difficult it is to achieve Taiping?" Zhao Shuo sighed lightly.

Now that the new law is still being formulated and supplemented, the new school is also under construction, and Zhao Cheng's army has returned to the port of Dengzhou, whether to start building ironclad ships, Zhao Shuo is also considering.

"Ironclad? Motor? Steam engine? Zhao Shuo muttered. If you can't afford business, everything can't work. ”

Tobacco and corn in the Americas are what Zhao Shuo has always been worried about, but in the current situation, it is impossible to directly tens of millions of Americas.

"Strong, strong, only strong enough can you protect yourself." Zhao Shuo's eyes flashed. "There is no way, maybe it can only be like this, for the eternal peace of the people of the world, you should make some sacrifices."

Zhao Shuo, who had an idea, immediately asked people to go to Dengzhou to summon Zhao Cheng, who had just returned, and he wanted to discuss with Zhao Cheng about the development of the New World.

When Zhao Shuo was preparing to develop the New World, Mu Tuo was not idle. Because when Mutuo attacked the Kerebu, he stabbed Mutuo in the back, so after reconciling and forming an alliance with the Song army, Mutuo immediately annexed the Mi'er beggar department.

At this time, the Mi'er Beggars wanted nothing, and they wanted to save the Kereh Ministry, but the people who asked for help had not left the Mi'er Beggars, and the Great Khan of the Mi'er Beggars had already ordered a reluctant surrender.

The tragic situation of the Song army in the area controlled by Zhao Shuo was soon returned to Mongolia, and after careful consideration, Mutuo sent an army of several hundred men to the border area between Mongolia and the Kerebu, and sent a letter.

This letter was first sent to the Great Khan of the Kerebu Department, which is now Mobei Hou Kelie Yiti, after he read it, he quickly sent it to the hands of the Hou Keqiu of Fuzhou, and after reading it, he asked people to send the letter to Chang'an, and the gist of the letter was passed out in the form of a flying pigeon.

This letter is very interesting, and it expresses two meanings, first, although Mongolia has formed an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty, it does not mean to target Zhao Shuo. Second, Mongolia hoped to sign a non-aggression pact with Zhao Shuo and coexist peacefully with each other.

"This wooden pallet is really interesting." After Zhao Shuo read the secret letter, he showed a smile.

Mutuo's alliance with the Great Song Dynasty was undoubtedly quite dangerous for Zhao Shuo. But Mu Tuo's move made Zhao Shuo see a new opportunity.

In order to protect himself, Mu Tuo formed an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty, but Mu Tuo did not want to be an enemy of Zhao Shuo. Judging from the current situation, Muto's eyes at the moment are the various tribes of Mongolia. Unifying the Mongolian steppe and making itself strong should be Muto's first goal.

It stands to reason that when Mutuo unified the Mongolian steppe, Zhao Shuo was bound to intercept it, because he really didn't want to see a powerful Mongolia appear in the north. That's too much of a threat to him.

Therefore, when Mutuo attacked the Kerebu, at the last moment, although Zhao Shuo did not want to participate in the war, he still sent an army.

But now it's different, Mutuo and Da Song have formed an alliance. Mutuo attacked the surrounding tribes, and if Zhao Shuo was participating in the peace, the Great Song Dynasty was very likely to attack Zhao Shuo from behind.

At the same time, he fought to the death with Da Song and Mu Tuo, and Zhao Shuo was not sure of victory. He didn't dare to gamble, and he couldn't afford it.

Now Mutuo took the initiative to sign a non-aggression pact, obviously wanting to continue to attack the surrounding tribes with Zhao Shuo's permission.

This is very interesting, it stands to reason that Mutuo can attack directly, and there is no need to ask Zhao Shuo at all, as long as there is the containment of the Great Song Dynasty, it is impossible for Zhao Shuo to send troops to Beishan to rescue those tribes.

But Mu Tuo was stunned and sent someone to deliver the letter.

"Lord Wang, what does this Mutuo want to do?" After Zhang Chujiu read the secret letter, he looked puzzled. "First they secretly formed an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty, and now they want to sign a non-aggression pact with us."

"You don't understand this!" Zhao Shuo looked at Zhang Chujiu, somewhat disappointed. "He formed an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty to prevent a repeat of the fiasco at the Kerebu."

"This, it's a little ......" Zhang Chujiu felt that the two things had nothing to do with each other at all, but Zhao Shuo said so, and it was difficult for him to say everything.

"The Kereb Department was attacked, and all countries came to the rescue, especially the Great Song Dynasty. Even made an army of 450,000 troops, and in the end, coupled with our dispatch of troops, we could have taken the wooden support of the Kereb Department and returned with a feather. He must have hated the Song army at that time, if he came, the previous Song army, it would be a soft persimmon that could be pinched by Liao, Jin, and Western Xia. However, the 100,000 troops guarding the territory of Mongolia were defeated by the Song army, and then the army he personally led back to help still did not take the slightest advantage of the Song army, and was still at a disadvantage. ”

"In desperation, Mutuo transferred all the troops of the Kereh Department back to Mongolia, but if you think about it, Mutuo, who mobilized all his troops, did not fight with the Song army, and there was not even friction, what is the reason......" After a pause, Zhao Shuo looked at Zhang Chujiu. Muto was scared. ”

"Scared?" Zhang Chujiu exclaimed. "Mutuo's cavalry is so strong, they are even afraid of the Song army?"

"This is the problem, the number of small shells carried by this batch of Song army is too scary, it can be said that this time, the Song army became famous in the first war."

Zhao Shuo exhaled a breath of turbidity. "Mutuo's whole army came back to help, the Great Song army was limited, and if it continued to fight, it would only be a defeat for both sides. Mu Tuo was not attacking, and the Song army borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and finally, in order to deal with the common enemy......" Zhao Shuo pointed to himself. "They're allied."

"In that case, why did Muto sign a non-aggression pact with us? Is a thief cheating? Zhang Chujiu still had questions.

"Although Mutuo and Da Song have formed an alliance, they have little contact with each other, and they do not have complete trust, and the purpose of their alliance is to let the other party contain us and benefit themselves. Now that the Song army is living so hard in the area under our control, if Mutuo insists on helping and attacks us directly, my uncle is taking the opportunity to send troops, can we still be so peaceful? ”

Zhao Shuo finished speaking, but Zhang Chujiu was frightened.

If it is really as Zhao Shuo said, then for Zhao Shuo's side, it is really a battle of life and death. Moreover, the outcome is unpredictable.

Looking at the frightened Zhang Chujiu, Zhao Shuo patted him lightly. "Chu Jiu, go and tell Mu Tuo that I agree to sign a non-aggression pact with him."

"If we don't care, Muto will ...... after unifying the grasslands"

Zhao Shuo explained very clearly, and Zhang Chujiu also understood, but seeing that Mu Tuo was a little stronger, Zhang Chujiu was still unwilling, because the stronger Mu Tuo was, the greater the threat to Zhao Shuo.

"No way, we need time too, it's up to us to see who can make better use of it." Zhao Shuo ended the conversation a little helplessly.
