Just as Li Chongjiu and Chu Luo were confronting each other in the west of the city, the Turks also attacked the north of the city, and the war lasted for a day and a night.

The guards guarding the city were replaced by the new round of guards when the Turkic attacks were a little rested, and they went down to the city to rest.

The strong men in the city were mobilized to bandage the wounds of the garrison soldiers and provide food and clothing.

But seeing a basket of cakes served, Situ Qiu took two cakes from the basket woven by rattan without hesitation, regardless of the black mud and blood in his hands, and started gnawing.

This cake was originally as hard as a lump of soil. On weekdays, it would be broken and soaked in water. But now there is no water for you to soak. In addition, it is even harder to eat in the cold winter. However, Situ Qiu, who had been hungry for a long time, was not particular about it. He just wanted to eat it when he caught it.

Situ Qiu looked around, but saw more robes, so he didn't have eyelashes for a day and night, and did not eat, so he lay down and fell asleep.

Situ Qiu turned his head. At this time, there were only a few soldiers guarding the Beicheng City Gate, all chatting listlessly. He thought to himself that if he fought out at this time, he would have a 30% chance to take down the city gate. However, he raised his head and saw the arrow towers on both sides of the city gate. He couldn't help but shake his head. I'm afraid that as soon as he got up, he would be killed by the soldiers on the arrow tower. Moreover, this was just the gate of Wengcheng City, and there was a city gate in front of him.

Situ Qiu smiled self-deprecatingly. He was a spy from Li Tang, not a meticulous work of the Turks, so what should he worry about the Turks?

At that moment, Situ Qiu retracted his gaze and continued to chew on the hard-to-eat cake. The chatter of the soldiers guarding the city beside him floated over without a word.

"The Turks fought for a day today. It was so fierce that they were just a feint attack."

"The Turkic soldiers are elite. They are not as easy to bully as Khitan dogs. You must know that the gongs and drums in the west of the city have been beaten for a day. I heard from the brothers from the Exclusive Forecast Camp that all 100,000 troops were dispatched. They confronted each other across the Wuding River with the king's 30,000 troops."

"Have you fought on the two sides?"

"Where is it? Although Chuluo has many people, the 30,000 people in the west of the city are all elite troops of our Zhao army. There is also a city guarding it, so Chuluo dares not fight easily."

“That’s good.”

The audience was talking about Situ Qiu, and he secretly remembered it in his heart. He wanted to write down the news truthfully and send it out through special channels. Ten days later, he could be on someone's desk in Chang'an.

However, Situ Qiu also knew that he needed to be more careful. In the past two years, Li Tang's detailed work in Youjing has been greatly reduced. His role as a constable in Ji County has increased greatly, and he will be promoted even if he is not sure.

Although the county magistrate intends to promote him as the captain, Situ Qiu wanted to work in the military commander of the city to get more information. The country is in a state of trouble now, and King Zhao is also working on people. If it weren't for Li Tang's detailed work, he might have been able to earn a position as an official at the age of fifty.

At this moment, it is inside another mansion in Youjing.

He Chou, Ouyang Xun and Yu Shinan came to the mansion together. Without anyone notifying me, they went directly into the yard. Outside the yard wall, you can see Pei Ju rolling up soil in a field.

When the three of them saw one scene, they couldn't help but shake their heads. Yu Shinan spread his hands and said, "Pei Gong. More than 100,000 Turkic troops are all coming to the city. You don't think of a solution. But you are plowing the fields here, that's true."

Ouyang Xun thought a little more, thinking that King Zhao refused to move Mr. Pei in the court. Could it be that Mr. Pei noticed something and acted as if he was not concerned about the world?

Ouyang Xun felt relieved when he thought about this. It is normal for him to advance and retreat in the officialdom. It is common for more officials to retreat as they advance.

Pei Ju kept squeezing his hand. Yu Shinan walked to the edge of the field and said, "Mr. Pei is so peaceful and he doesn't hear anything outside the window!"

Pei Ju smiled and said, "An Zhiruosu is not me, but King Zhao."

Ouyang asked, "What do you say about Mr. Pei?"

Pei Ju slowly knocked open the soil under his feet with a plow and said, "There is a gully in the chest of King Zhao, and he has made a decision. I was worried about Youjing not being able to defend it before, but I was worried about it. Otherwise, more than 100,000 troops would have stood by the Yongding River, why would he retreat easily?"

He heard this, Ouyang Xun, and Yu Shinan couldn't help but laugh.

Ouyang Xun said to Yu Shinan: "I told you a long time ago that although Mr. Pei didn't go out, his heart was like a mirror. He knew everything outside clearly."

He Chou and Yu Shinan both showed a deep expression of agreement.

Pei Ju put down the plow, and the servants on the side came over to hand him a towel and hand him a handkerchief, and wiped his hands and feet.

Pei Juyan said: "I think this battle can't continue."

Ouyang Xun walked behind Pei Ju and asked, "Why did Mr. Pei say that?"

Pei Ju said: "The Turks had no choice but to deal with our strong city, and the Zhao army could not defeat the Turks now. The so-called problem that cannot be solved on the battlefield must eventually sit down face to face and explain it clearly."

Ouyang Xun said, "I know that this man Chuluo took several years to unify the tribes in the south and north of the desert, and also caused chaos in the Central Plains. At that time, Li Yuan, Dou Jiande, Liu Heita, Gao Kaidao, Liu Wuzhou and others were all surrendered to him. His skills and ambitions were all the best people in the world. Now that he is at the city, what he wants is nothing more than to make King Zhao pay tribute."

"But? The King of Zhao is also arrogant and it is not easy to ask him to live under someone else's house. This man was born in a commoner and started from scratch. Now he is based in more than 20 counties in Hebei. His power is recently second to the Li Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains. Chuluo wants King Zhao to surrender to the Turks, but I think King Zhao will never agree. But now the two sides are stalemate, so how can we negotiate?"

Pei Ju smiled and said, "The stalemate is there, so we can only take a step back."

Yu Shinan said, "According to Mr. Pei's words, is it just to see who is willing to pull this face off first?"

Pei Ju laughed and said, "Shinan, you're just a move. Do you think King Zhao of Chuluo doesn't mean this? I think someone has secretly made a secret match."

"Who is the one who is making a match? Why don't I know?"

Pei Ju looked at Ouyang Xun and smiled, saying, "I believe in the book, come and take a look."

Ouyang Xun smiled and said, "I just thought of the siege of Yanmen Pass. When the siege of Yanmen Pass, everyone thought that our Sui army had repelled Shibi Khan's 200,000 troops. In fact, we have to rely entirely on Princess Yicheng."

Pei Ju couldn't help but sigh after hearing Princess Yicheng's name.

Yu Shinan said, "The princess can endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens. She is a rare figure among women. I know that Empress Xiao and Princess Yicheng have a good relationship. It should be that Empress Xiao secretly conveys news. It must be that Empress Xiao wrote to Princess Yicheng."

Ouyang Xunyan said: "It makes sense. There are many things that men in this world cannot do, but women can do."

Inside the Turkic camp.

Chuluo Khan strode into a large felt bag and asked to the people serving outside, "Have Kedun slept?"

"Ke Dun is still waiting for Khan."

Chu Luo nodded. The status of a Turkic woman is very low and she cannot be free from marriage. If her husband dies of illness, she still needs to marry a younger brother, or even a son who has no blood relationship among her husband.

However, Chu Luo did not dare to treat this Han man as an ordinary woman. First of all, this woman from the Great Sui royal family had a different style that other grassland women did not have.

Secondly, Princess Yicheng is of great value to Chu Luo.

This is also the meaning of Zhao Yande. When Chu Luo wants to enter the Central Plains, he must use Princess Yicheng's identity as a royal family member. In this way, he wins over hundreds of thousands of Han people who are attached to the Turks in the north, as well as the Han princes who are attached to the Turks, Zhang Changxun, Liang Shidu, Yuan Junzhang and others.

Chu Luo married Princess Yicheng to Kedun to improve his status among the Turkic tribes, and at the same time he also had a little emphasis on the Han people.

Chu Luo got into the felt bag, and Princess Yicheng was sitting there. So she spoke, "Ke Dun, why bother so angry this time? This is the battlefield. It is very dangerous and far less safe than Tieshan. What if all the mistakes are gone."

If Chu Luo can speak like this, there may be Princess Yicheng alone in the world, so that she can have such ability.

Princess Yicheng snorted and said, "Do you have me in your eyes? This time you sent troops to attack Zhao, you said you were the special forces, Ye Hu meant so many last resort. But now I see that, it is not the case. The fifteen major troops entered the frontier. If you nodded in this, how could the leaders of the tribes be so attentive?"

Chu Luo looked slightly cold and said, "Ke Dun, you don't know that Li Chongjiu is too arrogant. He doesn't take my 150,000 Turkic cavalry seriously. Relying on his own few people, he actually wants to fight against me. Today he dares not surrender to me. In the future, he will be full of wings, so he dares to lead his army to fight me to Yudujin Mountain."

"Now I will seize this opportunity and kill this important problem in front of me."

"What a big trouble? Don't forget that King Zhao is my niece and son-in-law, my relative, who is the enemy of our Turks? The Li Tang and Li family that destroyed the Sui Dynasty." Princess Yicheng got angry when she heard this.

"Look, you know that if I don't need to say it, today, Li Yuan has one three-pointer, and now he will defeat Zheng again. Once he takes down Dongdu, half of the world will belong to him. You are fine. Let Li Yuan not fight, let him attack Zheng, and transfer all his troops to Youjing to attack Zhao. Don't you know that Tang and Zhao are old enemies? Don't let Tang and Zhao start a war, but here to help Li Tang and restrain Zhao's hind legs. This is the wise decision of the Khans who millions of people on the grassland rely on."

Chu Luo was speechless when Princess Yicheng spoke immediately.

Princess Yicheng was like most women in the world at this time, and she was unreasonable and now she was even more unforgivable to be reasonable.

"You said that Zhao Yande is the one who helps you to pacify the world. Now he actually gives me this bad idea. I think he is just a mediocre person. Ye Hu doesn't have a vision."

Khan Chuluo couldn't help but be insanely angry. The woman became unreasonable, and it was so unreasonable. The current situation was that both sides were on the string and were fighting for a sigh. If you lower your head first, then ask others to see the Turks, look at Chuluo.

But Princess Yicheng was a little anxious. She was indeed entrusted by Empress Xiao and Yang Ehuang to secretly contact Zhao and the Turks to discuss peace.

At the moment, Chu Luo is determined to fight Zhao State to the end. What should she do? In women's eyes, blood ties are often more important than national interests. Moreover, he is not a Turkic person, and her heart always faces the Han people and her family.
