After drinking the blood wine, Li Chongjiu and Chu Luo each put their hands into the golden bowl and wiped the blood on their lips with their hands to show their obedience to the covenant.
The two looked at each other and smiled, both hugging their shoulders, and the Turkic Zhao soldiers behind them also raised their weapons and cheered loudly.
Luo Lang laughed loudly and turned around immediately.
Zhao made an alliance with the Turks, in addition to not invading each other, but also recognized the east of Da Luobo and the south of Huangshui as the boundaries of Zhao, Mude Xi and Mukun Xi, and the other two families have carried out one or two major exchanges since the end of autumn and the beginning of spring.
The Turks will send 300,000 cattle and sheep and war horses to Zhao in two installments in exchange for silk, cloth, tea bricks, pig iron, and wine of equal value to Zhao State.
In the process of discussion, there were some small unpleasantness on both sides, the Turks were quite reluctant to sell the Turkic horses to the Zhao army to enhance the strength of the Zhao army, and the Zhao State also proposed that if you don't sell the war horses, we will not sell the pig iron to the Turks.
For the Turks, although there are countries in the Western Regions that can provide pig iron, the price of pig iron in Zhao is low and cost-effective.
However, Zhao's demand for Turkic war horses is dispensable, after all, Zhao still has Huo'er Shen, and war horses are produced on the Uzhumuqin grassland. In the end, each side retreated, with the Turks providing the horses of the Turkic horses and the Zhao State selling the pig iron.
Of course, the two countries also have reservations, just as Zhao will never sell the country's sharp weapons, crossbows, bed crossbows, and eight-tip cannons to the Turks, and the Turks will not sell the extremely sharp Turkic scimitars to the Zhao people.
After the peace was discussed, he returned to the Great Horde, and took the special service as the elders of the Turkic ministers, and raised questions with the Luo.
Tong Te said diligently: "Khan, this time mobilize all the troops to cross Yanshan to attack, Khitan." Xi, Xia, the Western Regions Tribes, and Zhe Qian, attached nearly 150,000 soldiers and horses. Coupled with the 50,000 or 60,000 people who attacked Shanggu, Yanmen, and Huaihuang Town of Zhao State, a total of 200,000 iron horsemen. But this time he attacked Zhao State, but only a few county towns were attacked. Grabbed something, it's not enough for our departments to stuff their teeth, now to negotiate peace, there is nothing to reward the children, the next time you send troops, how can you make all the departments work hard? ”
Chu Luo's expression was slightly cold. Yan said: "Okay, I will give you the military power, but you will give me to attack Youjing, if you can lead all the troops to take Youjing for me, I will give you the position of Khan, let you be the head wolf of our Turks, how about it?" ”
Under Luo Jiwei. More than a dozen Turkic generals did not dare to say any more. Tong Special Service also softened slightly, and said: "Khan, only a wolf can be the king of wolves, I am just a mastiff, where can I be qualified to be a khan, but the matter of attacking Zhao really makes the brothers unwilling." ”
Seeing that the special service of the general was soft and was comforting with a pleasant face, suddenly a cavalryman came to report and said, "Khan. Oh no. ”
"What's the alarm?" Chu Luo drank sharply.
The cavalryman was shocked by Luo Wei's situation, and was speechless for a while, and the younger brother of Luo Khan, Ashina, said aggressively: "Speak slowly." ”
Ashina is generous, so many Turks secretly think. If Ashina was a khan, it would be much better for the Turks than for the harsh punishment.
The cavalryman said: "Huairong City was raided this morning, and all of my 500 Turkic soldiers were annihilated!" ”
"What? Where did Zhao Jun come from? The general agent stepped forward and asked.
"It's from Huaihuang Town."
It turned out to be Huaihuang Town, Zhao Jun of Yuyi Second Town, and the generals gasped. They climbed over the Great Wall and conquered the city of Huairong.
The generals looked at each other, feeling that the combat effectiveness with the Zhao army was really too terrifying, and now what else to say, who would dare to question the decision to retreat from the army. At that moment, Tong Te asked him to kneel down with a puff, and asked Chu Luo to plead guilty: "Khan, I underestimated the strength of Zhao Jun, and asked Khan to punish me." ”
General Luo asked Tong to help him up, and said, "Forget it." ”
Speaking of this, Luo looked at the generals and said: "I know you are unwilling, but you must be unwilling to be willing, although the Central Plains is in turmoil, but among the Han people there are also heroes like Li Chongjiu and Li Yuan, the Han people take the strong city as a fortress, we can't break them for a while, but there is no strong city that can be held for a lifetime, just as no strong shield will be pierced by a spear, no matter how big the rock, it will also be smoothed by the water, the Han people I know, as long as we continue to provoke them to fight among themselves, let them kill each other, and their power will be weakened in the future, It was captured by our Turkic army in a battle. ”
Chu Luo said sharply, and then said: "On the contrary, we Turkic people in the boundless steppe, and the Han people will not be able to cross thousands of miles of Gobi in their lifetime, this is the barrier given to us by the immortal heaven, so we will never be defeated, we will never have to be afraid of the Han people, all we want is to find the right opportunity." ”
"Khan is wise!" The Turkic generals in the tent all chanted together, and they were like gods.
But Zhao Deyan muttered to himself: "Thousands of miles of Gobi? Now the Turks are still in the Gobi. ”
Zhao Deyan laughed at himself, since he made up his mind to move the Khan Court from Yudujin Mountain in Mobei to Tieshan in Monan, there was no longer the shelter of the desert thousands of miles of Hanhai.
In the inscriptions carved by the Turkic khans, it is mentioned that there is no place better than Yudujin Mountain. The place where the Turks were able to control the zhì tribes most effectively was in the Yudu Jin Mountain. Only here the Han people were afraid of the thousands of miles of the Han Sea, so they did not dare to expedition into the desert, and they had to look at the faces of the Turks.
Zhao Deyan knew that this thousand miles of Hanhai was even more dangerous for the Turkic people than the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, Tongguan, Sichuan Shu and other key points.
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty reigned, after a series of victories against the Xiongnu, he mobilized 140,000 war horses and 500,000 foot soldiers, and built this logistics supply corps with the strength of the country, and transported Wei Qing and Huo Quai's 100,000 Han cavalry through Mobei.
Only then did the decisive victory of Mobei be achieved. However, as a result of this battle, the Han Dynasty was defeated despite its victory, and the vitality of the whole country was greatly damaged.
But now Chu Luo has left Yudu Jin Mountain, where the Turks have lived for generations, and moved the Khan Court to the Iron Mountain in Monan, to tell the truth, whether it is Li Tang or Zhao Guo, they have the strength to defeat the foot of the Iron Mountain.
Before the civil strife in the Great Sui, the vitality was greatly damaged, and it was a wise move for Chu Luo to move the Khan's court to Monan, and it was a wise move to enter the Central Plains, but now Zhao and Tang are standing together, and it is not without the power to fight with the Turks.
Zhao Deyan was worried, he didn't know whether he wanted to remind Chu Luo Khan, but at the moment, I am afraid that it is useless to remind, after all, the change of the order and the relocation of the Khan Court back to Yudu Jin Mountain is a huge blow to the prestige of Chu Luo himself, and it can be believed that his position as Khan will come to an end.
However, it is also Zhao, before the decisive battle within Tang is resolved, the matter of the two countries' surprise attack on the Turks is unlikely for the time being, unless the two countries can join forces, this is simply something that Zhao Deyan will not believe if he kills.
ps: I have a little cold today, and there are slightly fewer updates, and as soon as I have a good cold this week, I will make it up.
