Chapter 245: The Formal Covenant Everyone rejoices
Ah Wu took fifty herdsmen from the Gu Yan tribe and escorted the first batch of more than twenty carriages full of rock salt on the way to Baishi Mountain.
The rest of the herdsmen continued to dig up rock salt in Difu Pond, and the women in the tribe were not idle, cutting hay and refining alkaline noodles.
"Sister Princess, are you really leaving?" Ashima had tears in her eyes, and she was reluctant.
Erma smiled and soothed, "Ashima, we can't stay here forever, and you can't always be under our guardian wings, you have to learn to grow up as soon as possible, you know?" β
"In addition, in order to prevent the counterattack of the beggar department, I have left He Luohu and five thousand elite soldiers here, and you can always ask him for help if you have any problems.
After a while, the tribal leaders will be notified to go to the Golden Mountain Tent for my big wedding celebration, and then we will meet again. β
Ashima nodded heavily, "I will definitely bring gifts to my sister's wedding celebration!" β
Farewell, Erma and Lu An, Mu Lingfeng, and Ah Da and others finally embarked on the return journey.
There are only eight days left before the two get married.
The leaders of the Turkic tribes came to Jinshan one after another to congratulate.
In the tent of the Golden Mountain, Shaporo Khan, Erma, Lu An, and Pu Zhen, who had urgently returned from the Gu Yan Tribe, gathered to receive generous gifts from the leaders of various tribes.
Xiao Hai'er is almost two years old, sitting in Erma's arms, babbling from time to time, making everyone laugh.
In addition to the leaders of the Turkic tribes, the king of Suizhou also sent people to send generous gifts.
"Qi Qi Great Khan, the prince of my family sent a subordinate to come, one is to celebrate the wedding of Princess Erma and Prince Lu An, and there is also a matter to discuss."
"In the spring season, the prince of my family will meet with the Great Khan, and will hunt in Huizhou to participate in the grand event!"
Huizhou, located in the southwest of Suizhou, is only more than 400 miles away from the capital of Daxia, and is in the hinterland of the Central Plains.
After nearly two years of dramatic warfare, the Great Xia court is declining, and King Sui met with the Turks at this time to send troops, obviously with the intention of taking the Great Xia court in one fell swoop.
Shaporo Khan was overjoyed when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at Erma.
Erma put Hai'er into Lu An's arms, got up and said, "Lord Song, please reply to His Royal Highness King Sui, it is not the right time to send troops at this time.
His Royal Highness King Sui didn't know that just a few days ago, my Turkic beggar department sent Mi Siji, the beloved son of Qisi, to capture and kill this princess, but fortunately, this princess noticed it in time and killed her.
However, if Misiji dies in battle, the Beggar Department will definitely not give up and will definitely try their best to retaliate.
Father Khan had already sent a strong army to the intersection of the Gu Yan Department and the Qisi Department, and united with General Pu's Black Armor Army to prepare to meet the Qisi Department.
Once the Qisi Department is defeated, our Turkic Iron Cavalry will immediately go south and cooperate with His Royal Highness King Sui to take the Great Xia court.
I also hope that Lord Song will reply to His Royal Highness King Sui and postpone for some time. β
When the envoy of King Sui heard this, his face was embarrassed, "Princess Erma, my prince is ready, just waiting for you to send troops, and the Great Xia court is also ready to fight, if you withdraw now, I'm afraidββ"
Erma spread her hands, "Lord Song should know that if the Qisi Department is not solved, it will inevitably become a problem for my Turks, once Father Khan sends troops south, the Qisi army will take the opportunity to copy our back road, and the consequences will be unimaginable."
Lord Song just told His Royal Highness King Sui truthfully what he said, and I believe that His Royal Highness King Sui will definitely understand us. β
With that, Erma sat back in her seat and picked the child back.
Shaporo Khan said with a smile, "Lord Song, what Erma means is Ben Khan's decision, and I bother Lord Song to reply to King Sui, since our two sides have already made an agreement, I believe that King Sui will understand Ben Khan's painstaking efforts." β
When the envoy of King Sui heard this, he smiled bitterly helplessly and retreated.
It's just that when he occasionally swept towards the burly tribal leaders in the tent, the anger in his eyes flashed!
The Turks claim to control 300,000 strings, just a beggar, after Erma returned to Jinshan, it has long been out of fashion, and it is not difficult to send 350,000 troops south at will to cooperate with King Sui's expedition to summer.
However, Shaporo Khan refused to send troops under the pretext of begging, obviously wanting to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, just waiting for the defeat of King Sui and the Great Xia court, and reap the benefits of the fishermen!
Anyone can see such a simple truth.
It's a pity that even if you can see the mind of the Turks, what can you do?
The Turks not only had an alliance with King Sui, but now they were colluding with the remnants of the great cadres in Chuyin in Jiangnan through the marriage between Lu An and Erma.
Moreover, the Great Xia court is also looking forward to forming an alliance with the Turks, at least hoping that the Turks can not help each other when the court and King Sui are fighting!
It can be said that in the chaos of the Central Plains, the Turkic powerful force has become a three-party battle!
Lu An turned a deaf ear to these messy things, and it wasn't until Shaporo Khan took the initiative to speak to him that Lu An raised his head.
"Son-in-law, according to our previous agreement, the day of your wedding with Erma is the time when our Turks and the Great Qianguo form an alliance.
This is the alliance document prepared by Ben Khan, and the virtuous son-in-law will see if there is anything wrong? β
After speaking, Shaporo Khan ordered someone to hand a document to the table in front of Lu An.
Lu An was not interested in these things, he just glanced at them casually, and was just about to pick up the pen and sign, when his eyes turned and looked at Pu Zhen, who was sitting at the bottom.
"General Pu, otherwise, you will sign?"
When Pu Zhen heard this, he hurriedly got up and gave up his hand, "Young Master An is joking, you are the plenipotentiary envoy of Lord Chu, how dare your subordinates trespass?"
It's just that the major matter of the covenant is related to the interests of both parties, and his subordinates think that it is best for Young Master An to read them carefully one by one before deciding whether to sign or not. β
Lu An shook his head and smiled.
The covenant, from the day it was signed, was destined to be torn up one day.
Besides, this is a matter between Chu Yin and Shaporo Khan, he just signed it for him, and he didn't care about the rest!
Thinking of this, Lu An looked up at Shaporo Khan again, "Father-in-law, the covenant between you and Uncle Chu is signed by me, is it really okay?" β
"Of course!" Shaporo Khan nodded with a smile, "As long as you sign, you can learn from the Immortal Heaven, whether it is Ben Khan or Lord Chuyin, we will both agree and never regret it!" β
Hehe!
Lu An smiled when he heard this, and without hesitation, he signed his name on the two documents.
He came to Jinshan this time for only three things.
Pick up Hai'er, rescue the lord of Phantom Cloud, and promote Pu Zhen and Erma to jointly send troops to open up the Hexi trade road!
Now these three things are about to be completed, and everything else has nothing to do with him!
Shaporo Khan took one of the papers, looked at it, and laughed with satisfaction.
"Good! Son-in-law, General Pu, cheers to the successful signing of the covenant between our two sides! β
No sooner had they drunk a bowl of wine than they heard a voice outside the tent.
"Great Khan."
"The patriarch of the Gu Yan tribe came to celebrate the princess's wedding."
"Let them in." Shaporo Khan was in a good mood, put down the sprinkler bowl and smiled.
The curtain opened, and Ashima and Ah Wu entered the tent together.
