In the early morning of the next day, Zhuang Yi took Zhang Yitai, Mei Xiang, Sha Gu and Bian Wu and other fifty cavalry guards to the patriarch of the Yuan Qi Folding Department to negotiate and deal with the matter of going to the two departments.

As a last resort, Zhuang Yi didn't want to resort to force, which would cause greater losses to the already weak Xi people, and Tules should have thought the same, he was secretive about this matter, and he had been unwilling to talk about it in detail, there must be a reason for it, so let yourself deal with this matter. We must not allow the others to take the lead, as that will only make the situation worse.

And some careful thinking in the operation, Turus may not be unaware, but this involves everywhere and the department, before this big war, he must be inconvenient to stop, and it is undoubtedly the most suitable for him and the patriarch of Xie Ra to solve it. However, going to the two parts of Zhu, why didn't Turus solve it himself?

Zhuang Yi arrived at the Yuan Qi Folded Department at noon on this day, and first summoned the head of the third capital, Shi Dazhong and Kang Zhenghe, and reassured the soldiers with kind words. Only then did he take advantage of the fact that night when the chief of the Xie Clan held a banquet to invite him, he threw this question in his heart to the chief of the Xie Ra Patriarch.

When the patriarch heard this, he explained with a smile: "It's just that last autumn, King Turus of Xi ordered Zhu to lead two troops to meet the Khitans, but he was defeated by the Khitans. As a result, the Xi people lost large swaths of pasture, and Turus was furious about this. After the war, he asked Turus to compensate for some cattle and sheep, and after being rejected by Turus, he led the two divisions to move west in a fit of rage. ”

"Oh...... If you go to Zhu and lose the battle, of course, you will bear the consequences, and it is understandable for Turus to punish him, and he will actually have to compensate. But then again...... Since Turus's repeated persuasions were not accepted by the Commanders, why didn't Turus use force against the Commanders? Zhuang Yi got to the bottom of it.

"Because of Youzhou...... It is said that after going to Zhulu to move westward, he has been sending people to have frequent contact with Youzhou, which seems to have the intention of serving Youzhou. In this way, Tules also needs the support of Youzhou, and at the same time, it is necessary to take into account Youzhou's attitude. Another one who went to the two departments of Ao and Du Ji was also from the Kumo Xi clan, and Tules had multiple concerns, so he didn't do it. But now...... It's up to you and me to do it, then it's different! The Xie Rats said in detail.

"Not bad...... Now that I am consoling you to go to the tooth tent, you can't say anything! The key is to be fast! Otherwise, the operation will interfere, and Youzhou will also come to get involved, and the matter will be big. Zhuang Yi said with a sigh of relief.

"Then we'll leave early tomorrow morning, and I'll have the men ready. But...... On what grounds do you want to see you? What if he doesn't see us? Patriarch Xie said worriedly.

"Simple...... Just say it! If he doesn't see him, we won't go! Maybe...... It can also be seen that the machine acts, and the patriarch of the Liberation Sect! What do you think about going to the two ministries better? ”

"I always felt that there was little hope of seeing them, but ...... There is a clan brother named Sunu, who is a warrior of the Ao Lost Division, and he is also quite prestigious among the clan. Maybe we can go this man's way and ask him for help......" Patriarch Xie said with some ambiguity.

"Oh...... Tell me about ......," Zhuang Yi asked.

That night, the two carefully discussed and planned for the worst.

In the early morning of the next day, the patriarch of Xie Ra personally led five hundred knights such as Suo Di to set off, Zhuang Yi led Shagu, Bian Wu and other personal guards, and Shi Dazhong, Kang Zhenghe and other 150 elite horsemen accompanied him. The two of them prepared many gifts and decided to go and meet them.

Go to the Ao Lost Department and the Du Ji Department, although there have been large losses before, but there are still 60,000 or 70,000 people, in wartime can recruit nearly 10,000 young and strong soldiers, in peacetime they are scattered on both sides of the Baoqiu River west of the Luan River, more than 200 miles away from the Xi Wang's tooth tent. It is a hilly area of river valleys, with dense streams and gently undulating hills, and large pastures with abundant water and grass.

It was the height of summer, and it was the time when the cattle, sheep and livestock were fat, and on the valley grassland under the hill, cattle and sheep were all over the mountains. In a gentle valley on the west bank of Baoqiu River, the white camp tents are sprinkled like pearls among the green grass, which seem to be dense and chaotic, but in fact they are divided into four camps, including the southeast, the northwest, and each camp, and each camp is divided into several tents, and each tent is counted as a household of ten people.

These four camps, of course, were the periphery, and they were tightly guarded in the middle of the camp, and the military fortress made of large wooden buildings was the location of the tooth tent where the chieftain of the Ao Lost Department went to Zhu. The camp looked shabby and rudimentary, except for the guards and tents, and some crude defenses.

In this era, any Central Plains feudal town marching and camping in the wilderness is much more magnificent than this camp, and some of the feudal towns in the Chinese army cowhide tent can even accommodate hundreds of people for dining parties or discussions, etc., and some will even bring furniture and singers, even if it is battlefield life, it is also extravagant.

In terms of eating and drinking, the Hu people on the grassland in the north of the mountains can never be compared, and he led two departments and held thousands of elite soldiers, and his big tent was only slightly larger than the big tent of the general tribal head, and the big tent was divided into two entrances, the back was the place to sleep and stay, and the front was used for deliberation and office. This place is already small, and when there are more than 20 tribal leaders sitting in, it seems a little crowded.

He was about forty-five or sixteen years old, with a big round face that was very common for ridicule, and under thick black eyebrows, his eyes looked a little abrupt, faintly revealing a fierce aura. Under the low bridge of the nose, there is a narrow manchum and two upturned mustaches, thin lips tightly pursed, and the corners of the mouth droop slightly, looking very cold.

At this time, after going to the desk where he sat cross-legged at the top of the desk, he looked at the tribal leaders who were sitting in a circle on both sides, muttering to each other, and couldn't help frowning, and coughed lightly to stop it, but no one seemed to hear it, and the buzzing still didn't stop. Just as he was annoyed and about to shout a shout, a guard soldier and a young man ran in from the outside quickly.

"Report ...... He was the captain of the guard of the chief of the Qihekun clan of the Duji Department, and he came to report on the order of the patriarch. The patriarch of the Yuan Qi Folding Department brought more than 600 horsemen to ask for a meeting, and has arrived at the Duji Department, and our Qihekun patriarch sent people to monitor, and now he is ordered to come to inquire about whether to escort the Patriarch of Xie Ra and his party? ”

"Is it just the Patriarch of Jiera? Didn't Turus send anyone? He asked, puzzled, speaking of Turus in a disrespectful tone and with a deep disdain.

"It seems so...... Turus did not send a messenger ......"

"There's no end to it, they're always coming...... Then let them come! Qu Zhu chuckled and said, then waved his hand, and when the guard retreated, he glanced around at the tribal leaders again, and said, "The chief of the Xie Clan is really here, what do you think of this matter?"

It can also share more benefits.
