At the foot of the White Wolf Mountain.

A Khitan man was taken into a green tent.

Seeing a Han man in his twenties sitting at the top, the Khitan took a deep breath and said, "Fufu Yubu Yili Jin Qulie, meet the Khan." ”

Li Chongjiu stretched out his hand and said, "Yi Li Jin is frightened, please take a seat." ”

After speaking, the soldiers on the side gave Qu Lie, and on the small table in front of him, mare's milk wine, hand-grabbed mutton, and a stack of Hu cakes were served.

Qu Lie glanced at the food on the table, and couldn't help but move his index finger, the few days of lifeless fleeing had already made him unable to eat and sleep along the way.

After being captured, although he was ready to die or be sold into slavery, he still couldn't help but feel nervous when he thought of this time. There was food on the table again, which had already made him hungry.

At that moment, Qu Lie let go of his hands and feet, grabbed the mutton, stuffed it into his mouth, and drank it with a wine jug while picking up the mare's milk wine.

Li Chongjiu looked at the other party and didn't speak, this time he defeated the Khitan Xi coalition army, and captured more than 50,000 prisoners of war in one go, the number of prisoners was very large, but when he was surprised, he didn't catch a few nobles of the two tribes, not to mention the father and son of Dahe Luluo, that is, the Khitan eight Yili Jin, and the three Xi tribes, none of them were caught.

As for the disposal of prisoners, the three tribes of the Xi tribe are good, but the Khitan is troublesome.

Li Chongjiu also ordered the Xi people and Han people who knew Khitan dialect to interrogate, but when asked, the Khitan people were all tight-lipped and said that they didn't know, even the tribal leaders didn't collect a few. The uncooperative attitude of the Khitans made it impossible for him to manage these captives.

Until now, there is finally a person who calls himself Khitan Fufu Yubu Yili Jin and asks to see Li Chongjiu.

Li Chongjiu immediately received him.

After Qu Lie was half-full, he seemed to see that Li Chongjiu had not spoken, put down the wine and meat at the moment, wiped the leather robe with his greasy hands, and said: "Khan, the strength of your Han people, we have all seen this battle, and we Khitans are convinced to lose." But dare to ask what Khan's intention is to station troops in White Wolf Mountain at the moment? ”

Li Chongjiu asked rhetorically: "Why do you say this?" ”

Qu Lie clenched his fists and said: "I heard that the Khan is a man with great ambitions, and now that the Central Plains is divided, it is a great opportunity for the Khan to forge ahead. I guess the Khan's goal should be to the south, not the north. Therefore, I think that with the wisdom of the Khan, I should not think that once we defeat the Khitans, we can use troops to the north and occupy the land of White Wolf Water, or the Khitans will surrender from now on. ”

Li Chongjiu said in his heart that this person lives in Yili Sumire, and his knowledge is really extraordinary.

Li Chongjiu said in a deep voice: "My Han people don't like to fight, but you Khitans have invaded my territory twice, so they have no choice but to fight back, let me ask you, which of these two wars was provoked by our Han people?" As for encroaching on the territory of your Khitans, you can all loot our Han people, why can't we Han people loot your Khitans. ”

Qu Lie lowered his head and said: "The strong are kings, the weak are food, and everyone on the grassland pursues the truth, so I never think that there is anything wrong with us Khitans coming to loot the Han people." The only thing that is wrong is that we have misestimated the strength of your Han people both times, which is our unwisdom. ”

Qu Lie paused and said: "But in these two battles, you Han people have won, this time a big victory, my Khitan is really defeated." But my Khitans are warriors who are not afraid of death, and the Khan thinks that if he wins this battle, he can make us Khitan surrender, which is impossible, unless we kill all the Khitans, otherwise as long as we have one person, we will fight with you Han people to the end. ”

Li Chongjiu sneered and said, "You think I don't dare to kill all your Khitans." There are many tribes in the eastern part of Liao, how many tribes have risen, and how many tribes have perished. If I unite with the Yan and Xi people to eradicate the Khitan together, I believe they will not be unwilling. ”

Qu Lie stood up and said, "Even if our Khitan perishes, will the northern border of your Han people be calm?" The Xi people who have annexed our Khitan tribe, the Yan Ya, will oppose you when they become strong in the future. ”

"Then I will eradicate them again in the future, don't deny it, for thousands of years, haven't we Han people and Liaodong tribes always been like this? Buyeo, Wuhuan, Wei's Korea, and Liaodong have been wiped out, but our Han people have been in the south to this day. Li Chongjiu said.

Qu Lie was speechless for a while, and said: "Khan, I have come to see you, not to hope that the Khitan and the Han people will be enemies for generations, but to hope that the two families can have a way of peace. ”

Li Chongjiu glanced at the other party, and said in his heart that Nurhachi and Li Chengliang must have said this back then.

Li Chongjiu said: "What do you mean is that you want me to release back to the Khitan and continue to be your Yili Sumire, so that you can oppose the Dahe clan's use of troops against our Han people?" Or will it help you defeat the Dahe clan and unify the Khitan? ”

Qu Lie said solemnly: "Returning to the Khan, don't say anything about the long term, if I Qu Lie for one day, the Khitan will not use troops against the Han people." I can swear to God. ”

Li Chongjiu glanced at the other party and said, "Okay, I believe in you." ”

Qu Lie was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Thank you Khan. ”

"Wait," Li Chongjiu said, "Don't thank you yet, you can go back to the Khitan, and this time your captives of Fu Fuyu can be released." But your son, must stay. ”

Qu Lie nodded and said, "I know the rules, I have five sons, let's stay together." ”

Li Chongjiu said: "The eldest three are fine, don't worry, I will let people teach them the knowledge of the Han people." After three years, if the Khitan and my Youzhou are safe and sound, they will be put back. ”

In this way, Li Chongjiu reached an agreement with Qu Lie.

Immediately, Qu Lie took more than 5,000 captives of the Fufuyu Department and returned to the Khitan together. Li Chongjiu returned the 6,000 war horses seized by the other party, as well as 20,000 cattle and sheep.

Before Qu Lie left, Su Su said to Li Chongjiu: "The Khitans are cunning and untrustworthy, even if we have hostages, we should not trust them lightly. ”

After Li Chongjiu heard this, he said: "It's okay, this time the Khitan Eight Divisions have captured a lot for our population, and the forces will inevitably be damaged, and only the Fufu Yu Department is not only unharmed, but its strength has increased greatly, what do you say the other seven departments will think." ”

Su Su nodded and said, "Xiao Jiu, if you really think about it thoroughly, I think too much." ”

Li Chongjiu smiled and said: "Now that we defeat the Khitan Xi tribe, at least within three years, the border of western Liaoning can be safe, Luo Yi's death, Yuyang County can take advantage of the situation, and the remaining Gao Kaidao is difficult to support alone, and the unification of Youzhou is just around the corner, and the following can let go and enter the Central Plains." ”

Su Su also nodded and looked at the mountains to the south.

On the outskirts of Jixian County, Lu Ziqian, Zhao Heran, and Gao Xudao were all standing outside the city. They were surrounded by the gentry of Zhuo County, and now they were eagerly awaiting Li Chongjiu's return from Liaoxi's army.

The weather in June is already starting to be hot, and many people are not able to grasp the season, so they are wearing thick clothes, so they are sweating profusely.

The servants on the side all put up shades and umbrellas for the three heads of the house, and brought plum soup to quench their thirst, but even so, it was still hard to quench their enthusiasm.

Under the extremely irritable weather, Lu Ziqian and the three of them were all unhappy, no matter how hard the servants fanned the wind, they still felt that their bodies were hot.

"I didn't expect that this market boy actually defeated the 160,000 army of the Khitan Xi tribe, I don't think it's this kid, it's deliberately nonsense." Zhao Heran said with an unhappy face, he still remembered that Li Chongjiu reprimanded himself so much that day.

Gao Xudao echoed on the side: "I think I also killed 10,000 enemies and lost 3,000 myself, could it be that this Li boy, his subordinates are all heavenly soldiers and generals, even if he wins, it is a miserable victory." ”

Lu Ziqian saw that the two of them said this, and said in his heart that these two people were really short-sighted, such a big battle, Li Chongjiuyan could cheat, once the Khitan was defeated, he would drive straight into the north for a long time, and then Youzhou would also suffer. Although he didn't want to see Li Chongjiu win big victories one after another, he was not so short-sighted, once Li Chongjiu was defeated, the Lu family's property in Youzhou would inevitably be plundered by the Khitans.

"Here it is, here comes the army." The people who were watching from outside came to the three of them to report.

"You two, you can stop." Lu Ziqian said slightly unhappily.

Zhao and Gao saw Lu Ziqian speak, and they were silent at the moment. At that moment, the two of them, Lu Ziqian, and the gentry were all waiting for Li Chongjiu's triumphant return to Zhuo County's army on the side of the road.

Unlike the remnants of the defeated army imagined by Zhao and Gao, Li Chongjiu's army was at its peak, and it was clearly a victorious army. You don't need to look at the freshly dressed and angry cavalry, just look at the long queue of prisoners of war, you can also know that this is definitely a big victory.

Seeing this scene, the gentry of Youzhou all stepped forward to congratulate Li Chongjiu, who was the commander-in-chief.

Li Chongjiu also had no intention of being self-conscious, and clenched his fists to talk to the gentry. Zhao and Gao couldn't help but be angry when they saw it, Lu Ziqian glanced at the two, flicked his sleeves at the moment, and strode forward in front of Li Chongjiu, and said: "Congratulations to Shanggu Gong, the great victory of White Wolf Mountain, Gu Zhiwei Qing, Huo Quai's illness is just like that." ”

Li Chongjiu saw that it was Lu Ziqian, and said: "The demeanor of the ancestors is beyond the reach of our generation, but the feelings of the two ancestors to protect the family and defend the country are worthy of emulation by our descendants at all times." If there is no country, where there is a home, and where there is no thousands of people, where will there be a country? ”

Li Chongjiu's words were very wonderful, and immediately attracted a round of applause from the gentry of Youzhou. Lu Ziqian is also a heart, this son is really good at clever words.

Li Chongjiu saw Lu Ziqian's face and said: "At this point, the Lu family, the Gao family, and the Zhao family have done a very good job. This is the selfless act of the Grand Duke, and it is really a model for the people of Youzhou. ”

Hearing Li Chongjiu say this, the gentry in Youzhou turned to congratulate Lu, Zhao, and Gao.

Zhao, the two high school students saw that Li Chongjiu didn't care about the past suspicions, but instead said the credit of the two of them in front of everyone, and they couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. But seeing that all the gentry in the township congratulated them, even their sons and nephews looked at them with admiration.

The two inevitably entered the role. Zhao Heran reciprocated the favor and said: "Shanggu Gong is worried about the country and the people, and he led the army to fight bloodily. ”

Seeing Zhao, the second high school and Li Chongjiu, you praise a sentence, I praise a sentence, the two sides suddenly became happy, Lu Ziqian was secretly frightened, and said in his heart, this kid is winning people's hearts, and he really has a set.
