The next day, when Liu Yao and Fu Zhu were discussing political affairs.

"Report ......" a herald ran in, "Lord Qi, the army of Captain Taishi is already 10 miles outside Jixian County." ”

"Huh?" Liu Yao frowned, the deadline he gave Tai Shi Ci should be half a month, but it was not time yet, Tai Shi Ci came back, Liu Yao couldn't help but be a little worried about whether something had happened. "Let me ask you, have you seen Tai Shi Ci and their casualties?"

"This ...... I really don't know about the humble position, but looking at the smug look on Captain Taishi's face, it doesn't look like he's injured. The herald thought for a moment and said.

"Oh, it looks like Ziyi must have returned with a full load." He said with a smile.

"Okay, Gonghe, let's go to meet Ziyi together." Liu Yao's heart also let go.

When Liu Yao and Fu Zhu walked up to the city wall, they were dumbfounded. Tai Shi Ci took the lead in the front. Behind are dense and innumerable cattle, sheep and horses. The cavalry under Tai Shici no longer looked like cavalry, but became horsemen one by one, and some wolves drove these cattle towards the direction of Jixian.

As soon as Tai Shi Ci saw Liu Yao, he immediately dismounted, and trotted over excitedly, "The last general, Tai Shi Ci, will meet the lord." ”

"Good!! Ziyi, you can be regarded as a great achievement this time. Liu Yao was full of joy and convinced Tai Shi Ci, and then looked at the cattle, sheep and horses behind Tai Shi Ci, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, "Ziyi, how many small tribes have you shot to get so much booty." ”

"Lord Qiqi, the last general only once directly slaughtered into the prairie of Karasuma, and wiped out thirty or forty tribes of Karasuma along the way. As for how much is behind him, I can't tell. It's just that the soldiers under my command really can't manage it anymore, so I withdrew the army ahead of schedule. Tai Shi Ci looked a little unsatisfied. In his opinion, if he had more people, it would not be impossible to rob the entire small tribe of Karasuma.

"Okay, Ziyi, follow me into the city, and I'll pick up the wind and wash the dust for you." Liu Yao pulled Tai Shici back to the state pastor with a smile on his face. As for the cattle, sheep and horses, there are people to accept them. The celebration banquet that night was held very smoothly and was not interrupted as before. The people did not give up until they were all unconscious. It's just that Zhang Fei looked at Tai Shici's eyes full of resentment and jealousy, and looked at Tai Shici's whole body.

According to later statistics, the trophies brought back by Tai Shici this time included a total of 30,000 war horses and 100,000 cattle and sheep. The treasures of other Karasuma are numerous.

The news of Karasuma's defeat quickly fell back to the side of the Karasuma King, Qiu Liju. Of the entire 60,000 troops, less than 3,000 could come back alive, and the two generals under his command, as well as his two own nephews, all became prisoners of war, and Qiu Liju was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Qiu Liju has just become the king of Karasuma in these years, and the various tribal forces under his command are not very harmonious. Qiu Liju immediately raised 100,000 troops to avenge this blood feud, but the people under his hands had ghosts. No one wants to go to that terrifying Youzhou pastor again. The helpless Qiu Liju could only suppress this hatred temporarily.

What Qiu Liju didn't expect was that it didn't take long for another battle report to come. Forty large and small tribes on the outskirts of the Karasuma Imperial Court. All of them were exterminated, and there was nothing left to live, and all the cattle, sheep and horses that the Karasuma people relied on for their survival were plundered.

This time, Qiu Liju directly exclaimed, "Youzhou Mu, I am inseparable from you." A mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fainted directly. Fortunately, he was rescued in time. Otherwise, Qiu Liju would be the first Karasuma King in history to be to death.

Qiu Liju is worthy of being an eloquent person. After he woke up, he never mentioned anything to take revenge. directly sent envoys to negotiate peace with Liu Yao, and ransomed the two generals and his nephew. But at this time, Qiu Liju was dripping blood in his heart, and this loss made Karasuma unable to recover for at least seven or eight years.

And Liu Yao, who was far away in Jixian County, also quickly learned that the Karasuma people had sent envoys.

"Gongyu, you said that the Karasuma people sent envoys over this time, is it to make peace?" Liu Yao asked.

"Yes, my lord, there is only one possibility for the Karasuma envoy to come here." Frustrated replied.

"Why? I don't believe that we will directly beat the Karasuma people this time and never turn over......," Liu Yao shook his head and said.

"Lord Qiqi, I think there are three reasons why the Karasuma people only negotiate peace once."

"Oh, please also ask for clarification." Liu Yao humbly asked for advice.

"First, although we didn't directly beat the Karasuma people this time and never turned over, we definitely lost our vitality. The Karasuma people are not the only enemy of us, they are now embattled. The Xianbei and Xiongnu of foreign aid wanted to come and eyed Karasuma. The strength of these foreign clans was already very similar, and this time the Karasuma people lost at least sixty or seventy thousand men and horses. If there are any more losses, sooner or later it will be wiped out. As for the second point, I think Qiu Liju is also afraid. ”

Liu Yao was stunned and pointed at himself and asked, "I'm afraid, are you afraid of me?"

"Exactly!! In the past few years, every time the Karasuma people have come to our Han to fight the grass valley, it has been a breeze, and they have never encountered any real decent resistance, let alone a big defeat like this one. Now he didn't dare to kidnap the lord's tiger whiskers, on the contrary, he was now even more afraid that the lord's guild would reward Karasuma's royal court in turn and completely exterminate the Karasuma clan. That's why he sent envoys so quickly. Frustration explained.

Liu Yao couldn't help but smile, a little proud in his heart. "So, Gongyu, what about the third point?"

When he heard this, he immediately burst out laughing. Liu Yao, who was watching it, was confused.

"My lord, as for this third point, he is afraid of losing his position as King Karasuma." Frustrated said.

"What does this have to do with his throne." Liu Yao was puzzled.

He smiled and said, "My lord, do you remember the four captives we captured. ”

"You're saying those four guys are still related to the throne of Chuliju." Liu Yao said in surprise. He ordered the capture of these Karasuma generals, originally intended to be trophies for his father, Emperor Liu Hong.

"Yes, this Qiu Liju, although he is the king of Karasuma, but the various tribes under his command have their own evil intentions and are at odds with each other. Two of the four captives were Chuliju's nephews, and he must have wanted to redeem them. As for the identities of the other two, I also found out, one is the heir of Karasuma's second largest tribe after Churi. The other is also the heir of a large tribe, and this tribe is a diehard loyalist of Qiu Liju. Qiu Liju naturally couldn't help but let it go. If Qiu Liju obviously has a chance and dies and does not save him, I am afraid that the Karasuma people themselves will rebel, and when the time comes, the first and second largest tribes will fight among themselves, even if he Qiu Liju wins, I am afraid that his vitality will be greatly damaged, and the position of King Karasuma may not have anything to do with him. Frustrated with a smug beard, he said.

"Oh, so there's such a thing." Liu Yao said with a smile. This time it's completely unintentional.

"So, do we want to make peace with the Karasuma people?" Liu Yao's idea is to directly destroy the Karasuma people, so as to prevent future troubles.
