A heavy rain fell on Youjing, and heavy rain hit the roof tiles of Linshuo Palace, with a crisp sound.

In front of the window ridge, Li Chongjiu looked at the northern sky with his hands behind his back, and the layers of dark clouds were constantly gathering.

"Tuli is really a wolfish ambition." Li Chongjiu put down Princess Yicheng's letter in his hand.

Wen Yanbo, Xue Wanshu, and Wang Gui looked at each other. Wang Gui said first, "Your Majesty, it is not the time for us to turn against the Turks. We have always hoped that Li Tang could confront the Turks and lead the disaster to the east."

Xue Wanshu also said: "Yes, Tuli and Khan of Chuluo are in bed and in different dreams. We need Tuli to restrain Chuluo. Now Princess Yicheng comes forward and takes the lead in Yanhe, which is the opportunity to step down with the two families."

Li Chongjiu glanced at Xue Wanshu and said angrily: "This time Tuli encouraged Dahe Duluo to send troops to lead my Yan Yeli to rebel. We must take the initiative to make peace. You don't have shame, but you still have shame."

Seeing Li Chongjiu getting angry, Wen Yanbo hurriedly went up to the forefront and said, "The King, please calm down. Those who accomplish great things need to be persevere and endurance. When Emperor Gaozu was surrounded by Bai Deng and Empress Lu married, he was in the time of Hanwu, and he accumulated a hundred years of national strength before defeating the Huns. Li Tang was our life and death enemy, and the Turkic power was stronger than me and Li Tang. Now we need to make a good princess, and then use the power of the Turkic to suppress Li Tang, which is the best strategy."

Li Chongjiu knew that all the ministers were against each other. At this time, Zhao State fought with the Turks, and they wanted to sit and watch the Turks fight against the Li Tang, which was of course the best strategy. However, Luo Khan and Zhao Yande were both cunning people. Wouldn't they see the plans of the ministers?

In terms of national interests, Li Tang and Li Zhao both hoped to form a good Turk and attack each other. The Turkic Khan found his trump card with Li Yuan, so he benefited from the Li Tang and Li Zhao families. The Turkic used the good work of Li Gui to force Li Yuan to contribute money and ceded the two counties to submit. Today, they could also use the affairs of Yan Yeliu to make a big fuss.

Li Chongjiu narrowed his eyes and prepared for the future before sending troops. If Xue Wanche was a sword in his hand, Zhang Xuansu was his own scabbard. Whether the scabbard should cover the sword, we have to see how Zhang Xuansu judged the situation at that time...

The north bank of the Qin River in Wuhou. The Zhao army camp.

The Turkic envoy with a pointed hat strode into the camp.

The Zhao army's Huben guards were staring at each other, but the other party ignored them.

After entering the big tent, the Turkic envoy first looked around the Zhao army generals sitting in the tent.

Afterwards, the Turkic envoy coughed lightly, slowly spread the sheepskin in his hand, and said, "I will replace the great Tuli Khan. I will read the final decision to you Han people. From today, all of you Sui people will retreat to the south bank of the Wuhou Qin River, and the Wuhou Qin River is bounded by the Wuhou Qin River. If you step on the Wuhou Qin River, it will be regarded as a provocation to the Turks. At the same time, stop attacking our Turks' allies, the Khitan and the Xi tribes. From today on, all tribes will get along with each other tribes to fight, and the Khan will definitely join forces to fight against the precious peace on the grassland. And from today..."

"Enough!"

Xue Wanche stood up suddenly, his eyes like a sword.

The Turkic envoy said, "Do you know that if you were not favored by Dun, would you die under my Turkic iron hooves today?

Xue Wanche sneered and said, "Turi Khan has many conditions. I wonder if you are willing to listen to the conditions of my Zhao army."

The Turkic envoy sneered and said, "What qualifications do you have to discuss what conditions!"

Xue Wanche said, "I'm so brave. Let me tell you Khan when I go back. I have only one sentence to answer. Let's fight to the next day!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Turkic envoy's face changed, and he sneered a few times and said, "Han people, you will regret your decision today."

After saying that, the Turkic envoy shook his sleeves heavily and strode out of the tent.

After the Turkic envoy left, the generals in the tent secretly applauded. When the Turkic envoy entered the tent, the arrogant and arrogant attitude had already made everyone feel dissatisfied. Seeing Xue Wanche scolding him angrily and expelling the other party, they all felt aroused their anger on their chests.

However, there were several mature and persistent generals who thought that Xue Wanche's move was very inappropriate. At present, Zhao State is not a match for the Turkic army at all. If he offended the Turkic envoy, wouldn't the risk of a decisive battle in the future be huge?

At present, Li Chongjiu is in charge of Youjing, Yuchi Gong is in Taiyuan to guard against Li Tang, Xu Shiji is in Hebei to intimidate Liu Heita, and none of the people who can fight the most in Zhao State are there. Therefore, it was Xue Wanche's turn to lead the troops, and everyone felt that the other party's prestige and qualifications were insufficient, and commanded half of the military power of Zhao State.

At present, the main force of Zhao State, more than 70,000 troops gathered on the banks of the Qinshui River in Wuhou. According to their ideas, they only need to be able to join forces with Wang Junkuo's army and escape from the Turks and Khitans, and they will win. But Xue Wanche bombed the Turkic envoys, which was to bet on the country's fortunes in one battle. This decision was too hasty.

Everyone looked at Zhang Xuansu in a sideways. King Zhao regarded him as the military supervisor, which was the bridle that restrained Xue Wanche. What did he think about Xue Wanche’s decisive battle?

People with a lot of heart saw that Zhang Xuansu always looked peaceful after the Turkic envoy entered the account and left the account, and seemed to not take this matter at all. This person was very cunning, and the generals couldn't figure out what he was thinking in his heart.

However, Xue Wanche glanced at Zhang Xuansu. After more than ten days of getting along with Zhang Xuansu, he admired the other party's wisdom and insight. Therefore, Xue Wanche, who has always been above the top, always had a respect for Zhang Xuansu. However, seeing that Zhang Xuansu was silent, he asked immediately: "What do you think about Zhang Sheren?"

Zhang Xuansu stroked his long beard and said seriously: "This time, Tuli is really provocative, and the army attacks me for no reason. The king has the virtue of living and cannot bear to see the two families meet each other, so I can be harmonious and cannot fight again. But Tuli is arrogant and arrogant, thinking that I, Zhao people, can be bullied, but we are really unbearable, and there is no need to talk about peace again. In ancient times, it was said that even if the powerful Han people are far away, they will be punished. All generals can encourage him."

"Well said."

Several generals all slapped together. Qin Qiong said, "I am a rough man and can't say anything. Zhang Jianjun's words all touch our hearts."

Luo Shixin also said, "Our army has been tolerant first, but Tuli thought we were weak and could be bullied. Instead of doing this, it is better to fight!"

Xue Wanche slapped the table and said, "The morale of the army is available. Please tell the entire army that they will set up camp and head north tomorrow and prepare to fight the Turks to the death."

The next day, Xue Wanche ordered Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin to lead 3,000 elite troops as the vanguard, and suddenly found 3,000 cavalry as the left wing and Guo Xiaoke as the right wing. Nearly 40,000 troops set sail north.

The army penetrated fifty miles deep into the grassland and encountered the main force of the Turkic Iron Cavalry.

On the grassland, the horns roared, and all the Turkic cavalry came out and lined up in the distance.

In the center of countless Turkic wolf cavalry, under the black wolf flag, dozens of Turkic generals surrounded Turi Khan like stars holding the moon.

Tuli is only twenty years old this year and is very young, but as a child of the Ashna clan, he inherited the talent and strategy of his father Shibi Khan. Even his uncle Chuluo Khan dared not underestimate him.

This time, after hearing about Xue Wanche's army heading north, he ordered Dahe Duluo to lead the Khitan and Xi clan coalition forces to continue to monitor Wang Junguo, and personally led 30,000 Turkic cavalry south to intercept Xue Wanche's northward reinforcements.

The troops on both sides discovered the movements of each other dozens of miles away, and each sent the White Army to test each other.

The black wolf star slowly advanced, and the Turkic scouts in front returned wave after wave, reporting to Tuli about the location of the Zhao army and the distribution of troops.

When many Turkic scouts reported, they were either stained with blood or injured. Tuli heard that the Zhao army's cavalry was very brave in stepping on the White Army. Once they found Turkic scouts, they rushed forward to fight and expel them, preventing them from getting close to the army.

The Turkic scouts were all elites of the Turkic cavalry. The Turks had been lying on the grassland for decades and had never seen any cavalry from any family that dared to provoke the Turks in cavalry warfare.

The two sides fought fiercely. The Turkic cavalry found that although there were not many cavalry on the other side, they were not afraid of cavalry at all. The two armies had not yet confronted each other. The scouts of the two armies fought for dozens of battles, and hundreds of cavalry were killed or killed. Although the Turkic cavalry generally had a slight advantage, their advantages were not obvious.
