"If you don't listen to my brother, let alone 200,000 heads, you can't even see the scene of your people eating these eight taels of meat!"

Yang Jian was in a hurry, and when he returned to Chang'an from the desert, it was nearly four thousand miles!

Even if you travel day and night on the road, no matter how fast it is, it will take half a month!

He was afraid that at some moment, his brother, who had been pulling him since he was a child, would suddenly have a high fever and fall into a coma.

Thinking of the high fever, he hurriedly raised his hand to probe Yang Shuang's forehead, and sure enough, Yang Shuang's forehead seemed to be on fire!

"Brother! In the past, what did you want, Brother never stopped you......" At this point, Yang Jian himself stopped abruptly.

Yes, Yang Shuang's temperament is stubborn, and he knows it best.

After thinking about it, he had to pretend to say:

"It's Your Majesty's edict to order your class teacher to return to Beijing."

"Qi State confronted me with 200,000 forbidden troops in Beijing and the north bank of the Yellow River, Your Majesty divided the troops into three routes, all the way to pacify the Jiaodong Peninsula, all the way to Yanzhou, the troops are insufficient, and you and I combined, including wounded soldiers, plus some prisoners, can barely get together 100,000."

"This can be on par with the Qi State, and you also know that the Yellow River is wide, and the range of the firearm is limited, so it cannot deter the other side."

As soon as he heard this, Yang Shuang's somewhat dull brain still thought about it, weighing which was more important between the Northern Expedition and the Annihilation of Qi.

Nature is important to extinguish Qi.

Although it was a pity that he couldn't capture enough cattle and sheep, Yang Shuang could only nod and receive the "imperial edict".

……

In the Sanqing Palace, Lu Lingxuan began to have a trace of expectation-

Looking forward to good news from the Turkic side.

A few days later, the messenger scout returned to Yecheng with a lost face, and replied with a dejected head:

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Turkic General Alliance, refuses to send troops to help."

As soon as these words came out, the court instantly became noisy, and the courtier's face was full of shock!

"How is that possible! Those tributes from the past! Those possessions! It's not the dogs! ”

"Good you Turk! It's just too deceitful! ”

"How can you blame the Turks! It must be Zu Ting, your letter for help is inappropriately written! Angered the bowl! ”

As soon as he heard this, Zu Ting's face darkened!

"Fart! I even wrote about it as 'the country'! What else is decent! ”

The courtiers were arguing for a while, and Lu Lingxuan's party and Zu Ting's party were arguing, as if they were venting their anger in the past six months with the help of scolding and quarrels.

And Lu Lingxuan first breathed a sigh of relief, and then poured her head full of worries.

Even the Turks refused, and it was a foregone conclusion that the Qi State would lose all the south of the Yellow River, so what should be done in the future?

"Report!"

In a noisy room, there is a palace gate outside the Sanqing Hall who hurriedly came!

"To Your Majesty and Your Highness!"

"The Turkic envoy has arrived! Request to see you now! ”

“？？？” Hearing this, Lu Lingxuan had a question mark in her head.

Which one is this?

First refused to ask for help, and then sent an envoy?

"Let's retreat first, this palace and Your Majesty will meet the Turkic envoy in person."

Lu Lingxuan twitched the bag under her right eye again, and the three wrinkles at the corners of her eyes squeezed and squeezed, scattering some slightly creamy fat powder.

……

In the Daifuku Hall, which was used to meet important guests, the envoys from the Turks who had traveled thousands of miles on horseback even rode in on horseback.

Horses eat horse grass outside the hall, and people enjoy the special white tea of the Central Plains in the hall, as well as delicate and delicious dim sum, expensive and rare copper kettle stir-fried vegetables.

When Lu Lingxuan came to the Dafu Hall with the reluctant Gao Wei, what caught his eye was the barbarian envoy, stepping on the vermilion chair with one foot, grabbing the vegetables with both hands and stuffing them into his mouth, and the stuffed beard was full of dirty vegetable juice.

Seeing the two people wearing gorgeous crown robes coming, the envoy didn't even pay a salute, looked at the two of them with arrogance, and said in a very unfluent Central Plains official dialect:

"The Khan ordered me to bring a message, and the earlier refusal was hasty."

"We, the Turkic Alliance, are willing to send troops to aid your country, but there are conditions."

"In addition to what your country promised, after the Zhou invasion is repulsed, your country must cede the area from Pingzhou in the east to Shuozhou in the west to our Turks."

“？？？” No matter how extravagant Lu Lingxuan is in pleasure, she has seen the picture!

Pingzhou to Shuozhou! The whole Kyushu! Ceded to you Turks?!

Since ancient times, the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun have been an important frontier for the Central Plains to resist the southward invasion of the northern tribes!

And this Kyushu! It is the ninth of the sixteen states of Youyun! Although the number of the other seven states is small, and most of the territory is desert, the area is huge! Now it is in the hands of Zhou Guo!

You Turks treat my Qi country as a son, but how can you treat my Qi country as a fool!

"Hmph," Seeing that Lu Lingxuan and Gao Wei didn't speak, the Turkic envoy actually rolled his eyes at the two:

"In the past nearly three months, Zhou Guo has sent troops to attack my Mobei many times! Burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil! ”

"In view of you, the Qi State has suffered successive defeats against the Zhou State! Presumably, it can't keep the peace and Shuo! ”

"After my reinforcements help your country repel the invasion of the Zhou State, there must be a stronghold to counterattack the Zhou State!"

"We, the Turks, will not put our hatred until later! We have to make Zhou Guo pay the price immediately! ”

After listening to the words of the Turkic envoy, Lu Lingxuan's brain suddenly seemed to be enlightened, and she felt a deep fear from the crushing of IQ-

Yuwen Shihong's layout ability is so terrifying!

No wonder when the scouts came back in return was "the Turks refused to come to help", it turned out that the Zhou State had already entered the territory of the Turks, and the bowl was overwhelmed, how could there be strength to send troops south again?

It's a containment!

I didn't expect to be able to ask the Turks for help, but Yuwen Shihong actually planned to contain the Turks half a year in advance! Just in case the Turks have time to go south to help!

Terror! It's horrible!

Zhou Guo...... Withdrawn? Lu Lingxuan tentatively asked the Turkic envoy about his doubts.

The messenger rolled his eyes at her again:

"Hmph, a lot of cattle and sheep have been robbed, and when they have enough, they will leave."

Hearing this, Lu Lingxuan only had the emotion of "the road to the sky"! It's so thrilling!

Almost, Yuwen Shihong's overall strategy is perfect!

Fortunately! Fortunately, the Zhou State withdrew its troops from the Turks in time!

"Cession of the city, Qi is willing, but I can't promise to cede Kyushu, can I prioritize things."

"After repelling the invasion of the Zhou State, we will discuss the cession of the city in detail? The main palace can guarantee that there are no less than five state cities. ”

"Please come to the Khan's aid quickly!"

……

By the Yellow River, as soon as it is night, Yuwen Shihong can see the torches on the opposite bank, which are continuously lit up, almost illuminating the surface of the Yellow River several zhang wide.

Yuwen Shihong thought to himself, Zu Chongzhi, why haven't you moved?

Just waiting for your thousand-mile ship to come out and kill on the other side of the Yellow River.

This time to attack Qi, the reason why Yuwen Shihong sent troops to raid the Turks was a bit much.

But there are two main reasons.

The first is to contain the Turks and send troops to aid his "son" Qi.

The second is that the Yellow River cannot be crossed.

If he can contain the Turks and not send troops, he can use the confrontation across the Yellow River to continue to deter the Qi State.

At the same time, the thousand-mile ship waiting for Zu Chongzhi was born.

And without Qi noticing, he quietly detoured the main army to the Turks, strangled the Turks, and then went south to Ping and Shuo!

So! Even if the Yellow River can't be crossed, the crushing from the top of the head, Qi Guo has no power to parry at all!

"Report! Letter from Kyochu! While pondering, the messenger scout suddenly came, and said with a happy face:

"The Northern Expedition has won a great victory! I am returning to Beijing as a teacher! ”

“？？？” Yuwen Shihong's eyes widened in shock:

"What?!"

"What a big victory? Who ordered the Northern Expeditionary Army to return to Beijing? ”
