Wei Zheng smiled slightly: "King Dabao, you are right, the Sui army really can't use local materials and make trebuchets on the spot, but the determination of the emperor of the Sui Dynasty this time is not trivial, if he does not break through the ambush city, he will not return to the division, so when the siege of the city reached a stalemate two months ago, he ordered the Xiping County in the rear to cut down the trees in the Longshan area, and transport them to the front line along with the military rations. If it weren't for the incompetence of the bridge-building envoy and the delay of more than ten days, I am afraid that your Fuqiu City has been captured by now! ”

Cold sweat began to break out on Volian Khan's forehead, and he forced himself to calm down: "The mountain road is narrow, and it is impossible for the Sui army to line up dozens of trebuchets in a row, and this Fuqi City is definitely not so easy to conquer." Besides, where did the stones of the Sui army come from? ”

Wei Zheng laughed: "Although this barren mountain does not grow trees, but there are stones, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty sends people to attack the city every day, just to attract your attention, and in that corner of the northwest of the mountain, forty or fifty thousand soldiers have been quarrying stones for more than half a month, and they will never stop if they don't collapse your city!" ”

Nilo Zhou said sharply: "We Tuyuhun people are the descendants of heaven, and we will never surrender, Wei Zheng, you will die of this heart, even if you die in battle, we will not turn our backs on our dignity!" ”

Wei Zheng shook his head: "There is an old saying in our Central Plains, it is better to die than to live, and if your life is gone, what do you want to do with dignity?" Don't say it's you Tuyuhun, even the Western Turkic Chuluo Khan, who has now obediently become a prisoner of our Sui Dynasty emperor, and is a guest in the imperial camp! ”

Flen Khan was so startled that he bounced up from the bed again. Lost his voice: "What?!" Even Luo Khan ............ How is this possible? Half a year ago, the Khan of Chuluo was able to command the Tiele people to attack us. How could he become a prisoner of the Sui Dynasty now? ”

Wei Zheng said with a smile: "This time the Sui Emperor is personally recruiting. sent the general Xue Shixiong to lead 50,000 troops to crusade against Yiwu, and at the same time secretly let the Western Turkic Western Khan, the grandson of the Datou Khan, Mohe Khan, raise troops from the west, unite the Tiele tribes, and attack the Western Turkic Khan together. can only let the sweat bit, come to the Great Sui attached. ”

Fulian Khan gritted his teeth, sat back on the Hu bed, and said in a deep voice: "Even if the Great Khan of the Western Turks is defeated and surrenders, this Khan will not surrender, and our Murong tribe, even if there is the last person left, will never surrender!" ”

Wei Zheng nodded: "The Great Khan is good, but if he hits the stone with an egg, the jade will be burned." It's not the choice of the warriors, it's your former Khan of Tuyuhun. There are also people who have encountered this situation, but they have chosen to preserve their strength and make a comeback in the future! ”

Volian Khan glanced at Niluo Zhou, Niluo Zhou understood, and said: "It's easier said than done, if Mr. Wei and your lord really had this ability, they wouldn't sneak into the city, it's not easy for you to come in by yourself, and you still want us to go out?" ”

Wei Zheng smiled slightly: "This is exactly the reason why I came down here, my lord came up with a way to let the Great Khan get out safely and leave here, but he just needs the cooperation of the Great Khan!" ”

Volian Khan's eyes lit up, but he quickly sneered: "Mr. Wei, before talking about this plan to get out of the city, you first tell me, why does your lord help me like this?" Ben Khan is not related to him, and even now he can be said to be an enemy, although he is the richest man in the Central Plains, he has never made a deal with me, could it be that your emperor of the Sui Dynasty saw that he could not attack the city, and wanted to make some conspiracy and tricks! ”

Wei Zheng shook his head and said calmly: "Great Khan, I have already said just now, if you want to storm here, you only need to wait a few days for the catapult to be built. Our lord is a businessman, and the so-called businessman is not profitable, and this time he sent him down, so naturally there is a proposal that can satisfy everyone! ”

Nilo Zhou blinked his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Wei, what is your proposal, you can say it directly, now we don't have to go around each other in circles, if it can satisfy us, we will definitely consider it." ”

Wei Zhengzheng said: "This time Yang Guang conquered your Tuguhun, just want you to surrender, or to destroy you, if this goal is not achieved, he will not go back, from this time he would rather from Xiping County thousands of miles away, open roads in the mountains, build bridges in the water, and transport so much wood to set up catapults, it shows his determination, but the more so, the more there is business opportunities and cooperation space in the future." ”

Volian Khan blinked suspiciously: "When you say business opportunities, do you mean our Heavenly Horses of Tuyuhun?" ”

Wei Zheng said with a smile: "That's right, after Yang Guang lays down here, he will definitely set up a county here, but the Han people will only farm the land, will not raise horses and sheep, if you want to produce good Qinghai Gong, Hexi Bi, and even the legendary Tianma, only rely on you Tuyuhun people, can breed, so our lord is interested in the production and trade of horses in the land of Hehuang Qinghai in the future, if this time saves the life of the Great Khan, I hope that the Great Khan can let my lord monopolize the horse trade of Tuyuhun in the future." ”

The corners of Volian Khan's mouth twitched: "Our Tuyuhun horses have always had a fixed buyer, the Han people have always only bought one to two percent, most of the horses are given to the Western Regions and the Western Turks, this is the rule since the founding of our first Khan, because the Western Regions are closer to us, and you Han people are mainly farming, and you don't need any horses, what's the use of this?" ”

Wei Zheng smiled slightly, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "This is the matter of our lord, and what we need is five thousand good war horses every year, which should be a piece of cake for you Tuguhun." ”

Volian Khan and Niluo Zhou's faces changed at the same time, and they glanced at each other, and Niluo Zhou coughed dryly: "Five thousand horses a year? My God, is your lord going to form his own army? In this way, in ten years, he has 50,000 war horses, so he is not afraid that the emperor of your Sui Dynasty will be suspicious? ”

Wei Zheng said calmly: "This is our problem, so I won't bother you, the price is negotiable, according to the price of the war horses you provide to the Western Regions every year, add three percent, how about it?" ”

Fulian Khan gritted his teeth: "Sure enough, he is the richest man in the Central Plains." The shot is also generous. However, we Tuyuhun people want your Sui people's coins to be useless. When the time comes, you will have to exchange it for silk and silk of the same value at the price in Daxing, so that we will accept it. ”

Wei Zheng immediately answered: "That's good, it's a word!" Great Khan, in the future, we will be responsible for the business rights of this Tuyuhun horse. Swap it out for the silk you want or other Central Plains specialties, and the Great Khan can send a shrewd and reliable person to stay in the eastern capital for a long time. Responsible for these transactions. ”

Niluo Zhou frowned slightly: "Mr. Wei, don't forget it, even if we agree to your request, it is impossible for you to transport so many war horses into the customs every year without attracting the attention of others, and there is no large grassland in the Central Plains, even if the horses are given to you, you have no place to raise them." ”

Wei Zheng said with a smile: "This is the second thing I have to discuss with the Great Khan, after we buy these horses, they will be temporarily placed in Tuyuhun for foster care." Send someone to pick it up when we need it! ”

Volian Khan was slightly stunned: "What are you going to do!" ”

Nilo Zhou, who had been frowning all the time, suddenly had his eyes lit up. Haha laughed: "After talking for a long time, Mr. Wei has finally revealed your true intentions, I am afraid that the lord of your family does not want to be a loyal minister of the Sui Dynasty, but wants to carry out rebellion!" ”

Wei Zheng's face did not change, and nodded: "If my lord is a loyal minister of the Great Sui, how can I let Zai Xia enter the city at this time to confess to the two of you in such a way?" Yang Guang has no way, sooner or later he will make a big mess in the world and ruin a good country, my lord is just for the upcoming troubled times to pay for the rain. ”

Fulian Khan also loosened his brows this time, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, as Ben Khan expected, the lord of your family originally wanted to overthrow Emperor Sui, but I think it is a little too difficult for him to do this, the power of the Sui Dynasty, this time Ben Khan can see it clearly, we Tuyuhun tens of thousands of elite horsemen, are not opponents, your lord relies on thousands of war horses every year, can turn the sky over?" ”

Wei Zheng smiled slightly: "Those are the things that our lord considers, the Great Khan doesn't have to bother much, if nothing happens this time, after Emperor Sui captures the land of Tuyuhun, he will set up a county here to achieve fetter rule, and the county guard who stays here in the future is afraid that it is Wei Weiqing Liu Quan, who is also a person who loves military horses, this raid on the West Sea, is also to get the legendary Pegasus, his luck is good, this time he got four Pegasus, which made him take the initiative to write to Emperor Sui, asked to guard this Tuguhun hometown for the Great Sui Town in the future. ”

Volian Khan's eyes widened: "What did you say? There are four Pegasi this time? ”

Wei Zheng nodded: "Exactly, Liu Quan kept two horses for himself, gave one to my lord, and one horse was dedicated to Emperor Sui, Great Khan, you don't have to be depressed, you will have the opportunity to get Tianma in the future!" ”

Volian Khan sighed, and unconsciously put on an expression on his face that he had robbed people of hundreds of thousands of yuan, and said hatefully: "Ben Khan's heavenly horse will be taken back one day!" ”

Niluo Zhou didn't speak for a long time just now, and when he heard this, he said coldly: "Mr. Wei, since that Liu Quan will be the county guard of this Xihai County in the future, you asked him to help raise horses, why are you looking for our family's Great Khan?" Besides, even if my Great Khan escapes this time, it will be difficult to gain a foothold here, so I'm afraid you have chosen the wrong partner. ”

Wei Zheng shook his head: "No, the Sui army has not been here for a long time, Yang Guanghao is overjoyed, and he is going to conquer everywhere, this time after defeating your Tuyuhun, he will soon go elsewhere to use troops, plus the customs and geography of Tuyuhun and the Central Plains, the climate is very different, it is by no means that a county here can be ruled like the mainland, this I have said before, in the end, I can only rely on the fetters to rule." ”

"Liu Quan and a small number of Sui troops live in the city, and in the vast grassland outside the city, there are still herds of horses, cattle and sheep, and they still have to rely on you Tuyuhun people to take care of them, so the large number of war horses we need every year still rely on your subordinates of the Great Khan, not on Liu Quan. Of course, Liu Quan and my father-in-law also have a good relationship, they have been business partners for many years, and my father-in-law said that he will definitely greet Liu Quan and let him take care of the Great Khan in the future! ”

Volian Khan frowned: "Mr. Wei, after saying so much, you still ignore one point, even if Ben Khan can escape with your help this time, there is no way to run away with so many people, if only Ben Khan wanders on this grassland with a few people, how can he restore his former glory?" Besides, Ben Khan would rather die than surrender to Yang Guang, with his personality, he is afraid that he will be killed by people. ”

Wei Zheng nodded: "The Great Khan is reasonable, this is the essence of what we are going to discuss next, it is your next choice, this Fuqi City must not stay for a long time, at least the Great Khan, you can't stay, otherwise the castle will be broken, the jade will be burned, and it will be impossible to make a comeback." However, the Great Khan is also very right, it is impossible for so many people to run out, and the Great Khan can only bring more than 100 cronies, and take advantage of the current slack of the Sui army to quietly break through. ”

Volian Khan's eyes widened: "What do you mean by this?" How to break through quietly? Staying at night? ”

Wei Zheng said with a smile: "Breaking through is a highly technical job, not simply taking advantage of the night, this ambush city is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the only channel that can attack is the three-mile-long mountain road in front of the city, but on the contrary, if you want to break through, there is only this way, your every move will be seen by the Sui army!" ”

Volian Khan gritted his teeth: "Then what to do?" Do you mean sending troops out of the city to engage the Sui army, and then taking advantage of the chaos to stand out? ”

Wei Zheng nodded: "This is almost the only way, you should have 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city now, you can send 5,000 elites, led by the general of the beggar Fuda, to forcibly break through, and then when the Sui army intercepts, pretend to be defeated and retreat, the Sui army has not been able to eat your main force these days, so the main general on duty will definitely advance lightly, when the time comes, you use the terrain to set up an ambush, and strive to kill the enemy general in one fell swoop, so that the Sui army will fall into chaos for a short time, and then send a large army to besiege your breakthrough troops!" ”

Fulian Khan hooked the corners of his mouth: "But even if you kill one or two Sui generals by luck, I'm afraid it won't be easy to break through, we have learned the combat effectiveness of the Sui army in the past few months, especially the ironclad cavalry and phalanx infantry, which are the knights of our army can't compete!" ”

Wei Zheng smiled slightly: "This requires the begging general to make a sacrifice, forcibly break through in a certain direction, and then grieve the Great Khan, change into the clothes and armor of the Sui army, and I will lead the way, take advantage of the chaos in the camp of the Sui army, and take advantage of the temporary chaos of the Sui army to escape from a piece of life!"
