"See Your Highness." When everyone saw Li Zhen enter the lobby from behind the curtain, they all bowed and saluted.

"Excuse me." Li Zhen walked closer with a smile, looked at the white-haired Sogsos and said, "Suo Lao, I haven't seen you for some days, your old body is still so tough, you are really heroic." ”

It's not the first time that Sogsos has dealt with Li Zhen, he has long known how powerful Li Zhen is, and he didn't get carried away because Li Zhen greeted him so warmly, he just bent over with a smile and said, "Your Highness is blessed." "Not much else.

"Suo Lao came from afar, please forgive me for not greeting this king well." Li Zhen smiled, walked straight to the empty seat in the middle and sat down, raised his hand, gestured to Sogsos to sit down, and said very politely.

"Don't dare, don't dare, Your Highness has a lot of opportunities, and the old decay is bothered a lot, please ask Your Highness Haihan." Thorgasus confessed, sat down, looked at Li Zhen with a respectful face, but his mouth was closed again, and he looked like he wanted to talk and stopped, making it clear that he wanted to talk to Li Zhen in private.

"Stand down." Li Zhen understood what Sogsus meant, smiled and waved his hand, and gave a faint order, Wang Binghe hurriedly answered, and led the people in the hall to exit the hall, as for Sogsos's two personal guards, they also bowed to Li Zhen, and retreated with everyone, leaving only the two guests of honor in the hall.

"How is Brother Thuro doing? This year's harvest is good, isn't it? After everyone retreated, Li Zhen didn't give Sogthos a chance to speak first, and asked with a smile.

"Thanks to His Highness's inquiry, everything is fine in the country." Sogssos said that everything was good, and his face was full of smiles, but a trace of sadness quickly flashed in his eyes - at the beginning of the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, Ashina Sero established himself as Khan, united the five major tribes and many affiliated small tribes, Chen soldiers of nearly 150,000 horses, and more than 200,000 soldiers and horses led by Yibi Lulu and Khan's court soldiers and horses launched a series of bloody battles in the Chu River valley and the Nalati grassland. After the initial battle of the Ashina Sero side was unfavorable, he bought off the head of the Alishi tribe, Ashina Belu, and gave Yibi Lu a heavy blow in the battle of Belododian in the west of the Nalati grassland, and the victory was already in sight, but it was blocked by the crazy counterattack of the elite white wolf army of the Khan's court, and failed to take advantage of the situation to expand the results, and the two sides were stalemate on the Nalati grassland, until the sudden arrival of the heavy snow disaster, the two sides had to lead their troops back, and the war of nearly half a year was about to come down, and both sides suffered heavy losses- Ashina Serro's coalition army is only a little more than 100,000 left, and the Yibi Lu army is only 15 or 60,000 remnants, compared to the loss of troops and generals, what is more a headache for both sides is - because the war is too tragic, both sides have no time to take care of the grazing of cattle and sheep, and the family funds accumulated over the years are almost exhausted, and then after such a toss in the heavy snowstorm, the rear is all in chaos, since the beginning of winter, there are not a few people who have starved to death and froze to death, and they will not be able to support it.

The embarrassment of the Western Turks Li Zhen naturally knows in his heart, after more than half a year of bloody battles between the two sides, although there are still a lot of troops on both sides, but in fact, they are all remnants, and lack of logistics baggage, they are not vulnerable at all, this is also the reason why Li Zhen dared to send two elite soldiers who are not too many to attack the Western Turks, in fact, the Tang army does not have to fight directly with the two Western Turkic soldiers and horses, after they kill a pass in the rear, the two Western Turkic divisions without food and grass can not be separated except for the collapse, how can there be a second way to go, It's a pity that people are not as good as the sky, a sudden heavy snowfall, so that all Li Zhen's calculations fell into the void, at this time I saw Sogsos swelling his face and being fat, and he didn't bother to expose it, haha smiled and said: "That's good, that's good, Brother Thuro is wise and martial, and the unification of the Western Turks is just around the corner, it is worth celebrating, come, this king respects the old man, for the sake of the friendship between you and me, please!" ”

Unification of the Western Turks? As soon as he heard Li Zhen's words, Sogssos was very tired in his heart - at this time, the Ashina Sero department was already depressed to the point that it was almost impossible to open the pot, and a few months ago he was able to buy some cattle and sheep from the Shaowu Jiu surnamed country for military needs, but since the beginning of September, the Shaowu Jiu surnamed country has refused to trade with the Western Turks under various pretexts, which made the affected Western Turkic departments even worse, and the initiator was the smiling Tang prince Li Zhen in front of him, This made Sogsus feel as uncomfortable as eating a fly raw, but he didn't dare to attack it, so he had to pick up the wine bottle and drink it with his head up to hide his embarrassed expression.

"Your Highness, do you know that Yibi Lulu has formed an alliance with Xue Yantuo, and now Xue Yantuo's army has gathered near the Altai Mountains, and I am afraid that it will enter the army after the beginning of spring, and its intention may not be only on our side, I don't know if Your Highness thinks so?" Thorgethos put down the wine bottle, stroked the white whisker on his chest, and said with a smile, as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

Hehe, the old fox can't hold his breath anymore, it's interesting, it seems that it really worked to put this old man aside before. Li Zhen saw that Sogsus took the initiative to provoke the topic, and he was happy in his heart, but he did not accept the offer, but smiled and picked up a few wine jars on the side, filled a bottle for himself, picked up the wine bottle and said: "Suo Lao, for your health, this king will give you another bottle." ”

Although Sogsos was full of reluctance to drink again, but it was difficult to refuse, and in desperation, he had to fill the wine bottle and replied: "Thank you Your Highness for your kindness, the old man will drink first as a respect." As soon as the words fell, another bottle of stomach fell. Sogsos had already drunk a lot when he was accompanied by Wang Binghe, and after these two bottles were dried together, his face suddenly turned red, although he was not drunk on the spot, but it was obviously on the spot, and he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, it is said that the Heavenly Khan will personally conquer Goguryeo, I don't know if it is true?" ”

Uh-huh, this news is quite well-informed, hey, the old man has not come out yet, and the whole world knows about it, do you really think that this battle will be able to win quickly, alas, in the end, it will be a little frustrated, not only the face but afraid that the inside will be damaged, it is really not a thing. Although Li Zhen knew that Sogsos mentioned Li Shimin's intention to personally conquer Goguryeo, he still couldn't help but slander the old man for his carelessness in using soldiers, but Li Zhencheng was deep, but he didn't bring it to his face, and filled himself with another bottle of wine with a smile, held it in his hand, and said with a smile: "Come, for the glory of the Heavenly Khan, you and I will drink another bottle." ”

Seeing that Li Zhen carried out the bottle of Buddha of Li Shimin, this bottle of wine is not good, although Sogsos has some strength to drink, but he also had to accompany a full bottle again, so three bottles of wine down, Sogsos no longer has the leisure and leisure of going around the corner, just put down the wine bottle in his hand, and immediately said straightforwardly: "Your Highness, the old decay is here to ask for help, I hope Your Highness can value the friendship between the two sides in the past, and help us." ”

Friendship? Hey, Lao Tzu has a fart friendship with you? Li Zhen saw that Sogsus couldn't sit still, but her heart was very happy, but she pretended to be surprised on her face and said, "Why did Suo Lao say this?" Isn't Brother Thuro about to dominate the north of the Tianshan Mountains? ”

Knowing that Li Zhen was pretending to be confused, but the people of Sogasos were under the eaves, how could they not bow their heads, and in desperation, they had to smile bitterly and said: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, our departments are now extremely difficult, if Your Highness refuses to save you, it is not sensational for Yi Zi to eat fear, if our department is defeated, it is not impossible for Xue Yantuo's army to take advantage of the situation to cross the Tianshan Mountain, your lips are cold, Your Highness." ”

Ashina Thero's side of the predicament and the scorching ambition Li Zhen is not clear, there is no need for Sonthos to explain at all, but right, Li Zhen does not plan to be a bad person, besides, Li Zhen really doesn't look down on the group of remnants of Ashina Thero's defeated generals, at this time seeing Ashina Thro's words are extremely miserable, Li Zhen has no sympathy in his heart at all, of course, the surface work still has to be done, as soon as Sonthos finished speaking, Li Zhen's face showed a dignified and sympathetic look, however, did not speak, but looked at Sogthos silently.

"If Your Highness is willing to help, my Western Turk is willing to attach the Tang Dynasty." Seeing that Li Zhen didn't speak for a long time, Sogsus gritted his teeth and threw out a hole card.

Cut, anyone will say light words, attached? Hey, I'm going to have a fart inside! Li Zhen has never appreciated Li Shimin's Guanzhong-based policy, and he has no good impression of the so-called internal vassal countries, in Li Zhen's view, it is just a matter of raising tigers, and only by completely controlling these surrounding countries under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court, and integrating them with culture can they get rid of future troubles forever, and how can they be moved by Sogersos's proposal, so he smiled, nodded and said: "Let's discuss this matter again, Suo Lao is rare to come again, this king should have a good life and Suo Lao have a drink, come, Drink. ”

Sogsus had seen Li Zhen's slaughter in the south of the Tianshan Mountains and other sweeping countries, and these days he had sent people to Anxi to inquire about the movements of the Tang army and the measures of political reform in Anxi, so he understood that what Li Zhen was taking at the moment was just a strategy of long-distance friendship and close attack, and he also knew that Li Zhen didn't care about whether it was attached or not, otherwise he would not have refused Shule's request to be attached and brazenly sent troops to destroy the Three Kingdoms. Do you know that the great prince of Xue Yantuo has generously set up his person? ”

"Well, I've dealt with it, and my subordinates are defeated, so it's not a very good character." Li Zhen had already expected that Dadu would hook up with Ashina Thero's department, and at this time, listening to Sogersos start like this, he had already guessed what Sogeros was going to say next, shrugged his shoulders disapprenorantly, and said with a disdainful face.

"That's, that's, His Royal Highness's heroism is unmatched in the world, how can he be compared with His Highness, it's just ......" Sogthos said this, paused, peeked at Li Zhen's face, and saw that Li Zhen's face was not displeased, so he continued: "It's just that this time Xue Yantuo's boss is not generous to set up his person, but his brother Bazhuo, it is reported that this person is addicted to killing, this time he also killed his brother and seized the military power, hehe, magnanimity has been set up to protect himself, and has negotiated with my department, although Xue Yantuo is powerful, but he may not be able to do anything, What does Your Highness think? ”

Hehe, this is trying to trick us? It's a beautiful idea! Li Zhen smiled, shrugged her shoulders, didn't even bother to open her mouth, just took a shallow sip of wine indifferently. Poor Sogsus said that his mouth was dry and he didn't see Li Zhen's reaction, and his heart was suddenly anxious, but after all, the city was deep, so he still calmed down, lowered his head, drank the wine silently, and no longer opened his mouth to persuade.

Hey, the old fox is the old fox, and he can really stabilize it, it's really good! Li Zhen saw that Sogsus could still hold back and not throw the last hole card out in such an unfavorable situation, and he was quite impressed in his heart, but since Sogsos was silent, it gave Li Zhen a little headache How to lead him to speak again, after all, Li Zhen didn't want to let go of the big gift that Sogssos might give, but how to open this mouth made Li Zhen quite thoughtful, and for a while, the hall was a little strangely quiet......
