"Then ask for payment, money, beautiful women, and even population." Qi Bi He Li didn't think about it and said: "Our losses are relatively large, but Li Zhao has recently won Youzhou and Hebei, although he has also lost a lot of troops, but the territory they have obtained is too big, the land is vast, as long as the time is enough, they can restore their strength and become the best helper against Li Xin." We can't let them lose too soon, but we can't let them win either, as before, and it's best when both sides maintain a balance. At this time, we also need to accumulate strength. ”

"How do we accumulate strength, there are too many losses of soldiers and horses." Tuli Khan said disdainfully. He led the army into Guanzhong this time, and was also killed by the other party and fled, but simply, Li Jing was ordered by Li Xin and did not be ruthless to Tuli, so he escaped, and the soldiers and horses did not lose too much. It's just that it will be impossible for him to attack Li Xin again.

"Western Turks." Qibi He Li said loudly: "The Khan and the Tongye Hu Khan themselves are a family, and they should be united at this time, so that under the leadership of the Immortal Heaven, we Turks can be guided to strengthen our rule over the Central Plains." ”

"Western Turks?" Jieli Khan frowned, in fact, he didn't think about unifying the entire steppe, it's just that the Western Turks are like tigers, even if they are sick tigers, but after all, they are also tigers, if they want to defeat him, I'm afraid they still need to pay a certain price, but, do they have the ability to swallow this sick tiger?

"The Great Khan can contact the Tuyuhun people, and there are many people from the Western Regions who oppose the Western Turks, and the people of these Western Regions countries have long been dissatisfied with the Western Turks, and the Great Khan only needs to promise that once the Western Turks are defeated, the freedom of the countries will be restored. Presumably, there are many people from the countries of the Western Regions who will agree to cooperate with us and deal with the Western Turks together. ”

"The Western Regions is Li Xin's territory, even if it is the Emperor Yehu Khan, he will not infringe on Li Xin's forces, and we will unite the countries of the Western Regions to oppose the Western Turks, which will inevitably attract Li Xin's attention." A tribal leader said loudly.

Li Xin is now a curse, pressing on the heads of the Turks. So that the Turks did not dare to invade Guanzhong. Jieli Khan's face twitched when he listened to it, but his heart was extremely depressed, who let the entire Turkic people have been defeated by Li Xin, even he himself did not dare to underestimate Li Xin.

"Not to mention, Li Xin is far away from the Western Regions, and even after we defeated the Western Turks, Li Xin's side has not reacted, and Li Xin has not put many troops and horses in the northwest, and it will take at least half a year for him to transfer troops. That way, we have a year. Great Khan, if we add the countries of the Western Regions, we can't pacify the Western Turks in a year? He Li said loudly: "Why, are our warriors afraid? ”

"If it takes a year, it is naturally possible to defeat the Tongye Hu Khan, don't look at the recent momentum of the Tongye Hu, but his country is also unstable." Jieli Khan apparently did the investigation. Longing for the Western Turks for a long time, he looked around to the left and right. He said: "His uncle He Molu once sent someone to contact me, saying that the Tongye Hu Khan was unpopular within the Turks, and this was our chance. ”

"We and the Western Turks are also brothers, this brotherly dispute?" Tuli Khan hesitated, he could see it, and he couldn't get it right. Jieli Khan may defeat the Tongyehu Khan this time, and even unify the entire Turks, which is very unfavorable to him, and he occupies the figure of Turkic righteousness, how can he, a person with dissident intentions, be allowed to oppose him on the steppe? So he was against it.

"Because they used to be brothers. That's why we can't watch them be defeated by Li Xin and annexed by Li Xin, Li Xin is ambitious, he definitely doesn't just want to unify the Central Plains, he also wants to unify the world, we want to stop his enslavement of our Turks, the first thing to do is to unify the entire steppe, and then herd the Yellow River, I want to see if he unifies the world, or we Turks unify the world. Jieli Khan said loudly: "This time, the first thing we have to do is to unify the entire grassland, you have soldiers to send troops, there are grain to send food, first pacify the grassland, and then attack the Central Plains, do you still think that the same as before, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty in the Central Plains is so arrogant, a paper order, can make us bow down to the vassals, you are willing, I am unwilling, say it!" None of you who will not follow my banner to unify the whole steppe can go out now. ”

Tuli Khan was stunned when he heard this, he wanted to stand up, the cronies behind him quickly pulled, Tuli Khan's face moved, he looked at Jieli Khan, and suddenly felt cold in his heart, he saw the cold light in Jieli Khan's eyes flickering, and the murderous intention was revealed, and suddenly a cold sweat broke out on his back, Jieli Khan was ready for a long time, and whoever wanted to oppose it would definitely die.

"Why, Tuli, are you against it?" Jieli Khan snorted coldly.

"Who dares to oppose the order of the Great Khan, I have raised 100,000 troops to support the Great Khan's attack on the Western Turks and complete the unification of my Great Turks." Tuli Khan said without thinking.

"I, Yinan, led 50,000 troops and followed the Great Khan's westward expedition." Xue Yantuo Yinan also said loudly.

"I also sent 20,000 troops to follow the Great Khan to the west." Bano Furube He Lizhen also spoke.

"The Hui are willing to send 20,000 troops to follow the Great Khan's westward expedition." The leader of the Hui tribe also said loudly

For a while, there were bursts of pleas in the big tent, and the people of each tribe either sent 100,000 troops, or 50,000, and the minimum was 1,000 people, more or less, but the dozens of tribes together were a huge number.

"Okay." Jieli Khan said loudly: "Since you have the confidence to follow me to unify the steppe, I am very happy, and I don't want all your soldiers and horses, only half, and the rest of my army will gather 300,000 people to attack the Western Turks together, this time to unify the entire steppe people." Jieli Khan said loudly, he was in high spirits, he had lost too many men at the hands of Li Xin, which had reduced his prestige, and now he desperately needed a victory to consolidate his position and power. If there were no Western Turks, he would also look for another target to attack.

"Tuli, you send an envoy to Li Zhao and tell him that Ben Khan needs food, iron tools, and salt, let him take care of it himself! If he didn't give it, Ben Khan's 300,000 iron horsemen would go south to the Central Plains, go to Youzhou, go to Hebei, and get it himself. Jieli Khan said loudly.

"Yes, my brother will leave immediately." Tuli Khan hurriedly said.

"You guys, go back and prepare, give you a month, soldiers, horses, and tents to gather." Jieli Khan saw that the Tuli Khan had agreed, and he was also very happy in his heart, this Tuli Khan did not have much ability himself, and his favorite thing was to make some gadgets in private, although there would be no big problems, but it was very troublesome.

"Yes." The people of many tribes did not dare to slack off, no matter what, this time it was to conquer the Western Turks and unify the entire steppe, in fact, whether it was a brother or a father and son, in the steppe tribes, this kind of mutual fight was also very normal, everyone wanted to unify the entire steppe, and the same was true for the Tongye Hu Khan. It's just that his ambitions haven't reached this point yet.

After everyone left, Jieli Khan left Qibi He Li behind, and whispered a few words in his ear, Qili He Li nodded again and again, and retreated with a look of surprise.

At this moment, Jiangnan, Yuhang, although there is no later generation of "heaven above, Suzhou and Hangzhou" said, but at this time Yuhang already has the breath of Jiangnan water town, here lives a master, called Li Zitong, this person is from Chengxian County, Donghai, the leader of the peasant rebel army in the Jianghuai region at the end of the Sui Dynasty. At first, he participated in the rebel army of the left Cai Xiang of Changbai Mountain, and because of his generosity, many people were attached. Later, he was suspicious of Zuo Caixiang, so he led the people to cross the Huaishui south and join forces with Du Fuwei. Soon he broke with Du Fuwei and entered Hailing, proclaimed himself a general, and had 20,000 troops. In the eleventh year of the Great Cause, he proclaimed himself the king of Chu, occupied Jiangdu in the first year of Yining, proclaimed himself emperor, the country name was Wu, and the year name was Ming Zheng. After migrating to Yuhang. It covers an area of Huiji in the east, Wuling in the south, Xuancheng in the west, and Taihu Lake in the north. The power reached its peak, but unfortunately, this situation was soon changed by the arrival of Du Fuwei, Du Fuwei led 50,000 people, from Liyang, towards the south of the Yangtze River, Wang Xiongdan, Kan Ling two people as the front vanguard, directly killed Danyang, defeated Li Zitong, and then fought Lian Jie, until Yuhang came.

Li Zitong originally wanted to rely on Yuhang's fortified city to resist Du Fuwei, but unfortunately, his wish had not been realized, so he received bad news, Li Xin's generals Qin Qiong and Xu Xuanche led the army to kill, and the two sides fought in Yuhang City. The camp stretched for miles, and from a distance, it was pitch black.

Li Zitong suddenly didn't know what to do, and in desperation, he had to order Shen Faxing to come to help, and told him by letter: "Li Xin has wolf ambitions and intends to annex Jiangdong, if you and I don't join forces, we will definitely defeat Du Fuwei and Qin Qiong." After Shen Faxing received the letter, he also felt that what Li Zitong said was very true, and now there were 30,000 elite soldiers coming towards Yuhang, and he wanted to unite with Li Zitong to fight against Du Fuwei and Qin Qiong.

In the camp outside Yuhang City, after Du Fuwei and Qin Qiong and others sat down separately, Du Fuwei said: "Shubao, the prime minister's accession to the throne is imminent, we must hurry, it is best to solve the affairs of Jiangnan before the prime minister ascends the throne, so that you and I should do something, so as to be worthy of the trust of the prime minister in you and me." ”

"So the general let Li Zitong collude with Shen Faxing and the two, Hou Ye wants to decide the victory or defeat in a battle!" After Qin Qiong heard this, she immediately knew Du Fuwei's plan, and also sighed that the other party was thoughtful.

"If this is not the case, we defeat Li Zitong, then Shen Faxing is afraid that he will run, running around, when will we chase after him, when will the Jiangnan War be resolved, just when he is coming, we will solve it together." Duvowe did not hide his calculations. In fact, he vaguely guessed why Li Xin had not decided when he would ascend the throne until now, and what he was waiting for was the good news from Jiangnan.
