However, Chen Kefu, the princess of Yicheng who is the princess of Da Sui and has been in the past, is also very courteous, and puts her under house arrest in a mansion in the capital, and appoints many servants to take care of her. After a long time, he gradually forgot that he still had such a princess in his hands.

Gao Shilian agreed on the side, "The Western Turks are rising again, and their power is strong. Although we are not afraid of them, it is difficult to restrain them for a while. The Turks are a horseback people, and their roots are thousands of miles away in the northwest. If we want to defeat them, it will simply not be possible in a short period of time. Once he escaped, he was only afraid that he would become an enemy from now on, and he would harass and sweep the border like the wind, and there would be no peace on the border from then on. It is better to form an alliance with them for the time being, stabilize them, and after we pacify Hebei and Hedong, no matter how strong the Western Turks are, they will not dare to plunder the tiger power of our court. Fang Xuanling also nodded and said: "At present, although the Eastern Turks are nominally subordinate to me, in fact, they have already been divided, and each tribe has its own affairs. None of these scattered Eastern Turkic tribes were opponents of the Western Turks. Without their containment, there would be no one to control the Western Turks on the steppe. If we can't form an alliance with the Turks, then the Western Turks will inevitably form an alliance with Li Yuan and others. Right now, Li Yuan is in a dead end. It won't be long before he is doomed. But if you get the full support of the Turks, I am afraid that this matter will add endless variables. ”

Chen Kefu frowned and said nothing, and the snow flakes outside the gate in the distance fell, covering the entire mountains and rivers. Covered in snow. Get up and go out of the tower, and go to the edge of the battlements. The biting north wind blew on his face, making his thoughts much smoother.

Turn back to the building. Chen Kefu's face returned to calm and said indifferently. "In this matter, Shangshu Province will send an envoy, and then the Special Service Department, the Military Department, and the General Staff Department will each send a deputy envoy to fully assist in this mission. It is okay to marry Princess Yicheng and her relatives into the Western Turks, but the Western Turks must also marry the daughter of a noble Golden Horde into Hebei. In addition, we can assign to the Western Turks all the steppes of the Eastern Turks that are now occupied by the Western Turks. Our condition is that their tribal cavalry of the Western Turks will no longer be allowed to go south, let alone help Li Yuan. If the Turks betrayed their word, they were told that the Shibi Khan, the chiefs and nobles of the Eastern Turks, as well as the Turkic prisoners of war, would be sent back to the Turkic steppe. Moreover, those who go back together will also have the king's Liaodong iron horse! ”

The conditions for the alliance proposed by Chen Kefu can be said to be very harsh, and even the Western Turks cannot get any practical benefits. But when Fang Xuanling and the others heard this, they all nodded in front of them.

Although Chen Kefu's condition implicitly placed Hebei's status above that of the Western Turks, they felt that this was completely appropriate. Even the Western Turks, after getting this condition, had to agree if there were no accidents.

All because the Liaodong Army has bigger bargaining chips in its hands, once the Western Turks refuse to agree to Chen Kefu's conditions, then the Liaodong Army will release the captured Eastern Turkic Shibi Khan and other Turkic nobles and prisoners of war back to the grassland.

Once Shibi Khan and the nobles of the major tribes returned to the Turkic steppe, with their prestige, the Eastern Turkic Khanate, which was now chaotic and divided, would inevitably be unified again. And if Shibi Khan reunited the Eastern Turkic Khanate, and was helped by the iron cavalry of the Liaodong Army, the Western Turks would face a great enemy of life and death.

Whether to choose to cooperate with the Liaodong Army and promise not to go south to the Central Plains, or choose to make peace with Li Yuan and get some money and wealth, but to face the unified Eastern Turkic steppe and the iron cavalry of the Liaodong Army, I believe that as long as you are a Lianming person, you will know how to choose.

As for the Liaodong Army, it is impossible for them to really choose the latter one unless they have to. After returning to the steppe, although it was able to temporarily contain the Western Turks, in the end, it was just like the Sui Dynasty back then, defeating the Western Turks, and immediately the Eastern Turks became strong again, after all, they could not really control the overall situation. …,

Sighing in his heart, Chen Kefu secretly swore in his heart that one day, he would completely pacify the Turkic steppe and turn it into a stable land for the Han people. Don't let this grassland give birth to one after another fierce grassland peoples, and come to plague the Han people in the Central Plains again and again.

But soon, Chen Kefu was in a cheerful mood again.

As long as Li Yuan's Turkic reinforcements are eliminated, then Li Yuan is just a beast trapped in a cage, and it won't be long before he will consume the last bit of strength and be wiped out. As soon as he thought that the Li family would have to face enemies surging from all directions, trapped beasts fighting again and again, and dying again and again, he couldn't help but feel good.

At that time, the Hedong melee will not only drain the Li family, but also drain the powerful people like Liu Wuzhou and Liang Shidu. What a wonderful prospect to use this Taiyuan melee to consume the strength of Li Yuan, Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shidu, Guo Zihe and other separatist forces, and finally re-enter Hedong and Dinghedong. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but be happy, and the unhappiness in his heart was far away.

Although the first few sentences are vividly written, they are nothing at all. But what really moved them was the second half of the que, the heroic spirit in the words suddenly appeared, and there was even a sense of conceit. Everyone didn't expect that even the unification of Emperor Qin and the founder of the Han Dynasty, in the eyes of King Chen, would only be evaluated like this, saying that they had very high martial arts, but they had no literary talent.

Even Sima Yan, the fourth Emperor of Jin Wu who created a unified dynasty in the Central Plains, and Emperor Wen of the current dynasty, who unified the north and the south, and the fifth emperor who created a unified Central Plains dynasty, although his political skills are very high, he has no literary talent. Even the Turkic Great Khan Shibi, who crisscrossed the steppe, turned out to be only aware of conquest, but did not know strategy.

Talking about the four founding kings of the Central Plains Dynasty before and after, and a great khan on the grassland, these heroic characters are actually just average in Chen Kefu's eyes. Even those who can be called heroes look at the present.
