In the heavy rain, Tuli Khan took several personal followers and went straight to Jieli Khan's camp.

Sure enough, Jieli Khan had also received the news. He was now fully dressed and even mounted his horse.

After seeing Tuli Khan, Jieli Khan did not immediately lead his troops to fight, but asked him about the specific situation at this time.

Tuli Khan quickly repeated what King Qin had said.

Jieli Khan's face was as dark as water. He stared at Tuli Khan and asked, "What should we do between you?"

Tuli Khan hesitated for a moment, but still said: "It is better... to send envoys to negotiate peace and withdraw the troops."

Jieli Khan couldn't help but became furious and scolded: "I have hundreds of thousands of troops pressing down on the border, and I retreat without even fighting? If I retreat, how will the people of the world look at me!"

"Tell the truth, have you conspired with King Qin?"

Turli Khan was startled, quickly got off his horse, knelt down and swore: "The Great Khan is aware of this, and there is absolutely no such thing! I am completely considering it from the perspective of the Turks!"

Jieli Khan was pacing back and forth in the mud on his horse with some irritability, his face was quite ugly.

The two people who were supposed to have the most consistent interests among the Turks now had a rift in their hearts.

Why did Tuli Khan hope to negotiate peace and withdraw his troops?

Because in his opinion, this is the best outcome for both public and private matters.

Yu Gong, he did not think that the Turks could defeat the King of Qin at this time.

The Turks did not know the true and false intentions of the King of Qin. The troops who retreated at Wulong Ban were actually forced to take a step back by the King of Qin.

If this period of time had passed and the Turks had come back to their senses, they might have understood that Liang Jun was a strong man on the outside. Otherwise, why did Liang Jun not dare to do anything after the Turks returned to the camp?

And just when the Turks returned to the camp and the rainstorm was pouring, and they were about to fall asleep, the King of Qin led Liang Jun to advance quickly in the heavy rain, as if they were going to die with the Turks in this extremely unfavorable situation. Naturally,

It shocked the Turks up and down.

They didn't know what kind of backup arrangements King Qin had arranged, what kind of preparations he had made, and they didn't know where King Qin got his confidence.

But this tough stance has further strengthened the feeling on Wulong Saka during the day.

That is: King Qin was not afraid of an all-out war with the Turks at all. He was even confident that he would take action as soon as the Turks gave him a reason.

Tuli Khan was much more frightened than Jieli Khan. After all, King Qin led his troops to attack his camp first, as if he wanted to use him as a breakthrough.

Privately, Tuli Khan did not think that he should go to war with the King of Qin.

During the day today, the King of Qin gave Tuli Khan enough face in front of the two armies, which made Tuli Khan somewhat sway to the side of the King of Qin.

But this time, the King of Qin could clearly start a fight if he disagreed, but he took the risk of being betrayed by the Turks and gave Tuli Khan an hour to convince Jieli Khan.

What does this mean?

First, the King of Qin talked to himself first instead of Jieli Khan, which showed that the King of Qin was more fond of him, and his love for him was not just lip service.

The King of Qin was so loyal, so as a grassland man, Tuli Khan should also have due etiquette.

Moreover, King Qin valued himself more than Jieli Khan, which made Tuli Khan feel a little embarrassed.

Second, the King of Qin risked being betrayed by the Turks and gave Tuli Khan an hour, which meant that the King of Qin trusted the Tuli Khan and that the King of Qin was not afraid of war.

He was confident that even if the Turks went back on their word and started a war, he could lead Liang Jun to severely punish the Turks.

If a fight really breaks out, Tuli Khan will lose both the opponent and the battle.

Losing people means that King Qin, his sworn brother, gave him enough face, but he betrayed his trust and stabbed him in the back; and as King Qin said, fighting in the middle of the night with heavy rain, the Turks have a high probability of losing.

Tuli Khan did not want to take this risk and could not afford to lose this person.

Jieli Khan was obviously very upset.

King Qin's extreme pressure once again greatly increased the possibility of him making forced errors.

Just as King Qin said, he was only given one hour. In this hour, the time for Tuli Khan to arrive and return was also included.

Of course Jieli Khan did not dare to bet that King Qin was bluffing, because King Qin always kept his word.

In fact, Jieli Khan wanted to fight. An army of more than 100,000 people spent so much effort to penetrate deep into the Liang Dynasty. Could it be that they were here for sightseeing?

Countless cattle and sheep were eaten along the way.

If I didn't get too many things and just went back like this, my prestige as a khan would be greatly damaged.

But Tuli Khan's insistence on withdrawing his troops had to be considered by him.

After all, Tuli Khan is the person second only to him in status. If this battle really breaks out, Tuli Khan must be counted on to contribute.

If Khan Tuli does not want to fight, let alone betrayal, even if he just works hard and fails to contribute, the outcome of this battle will not be optimistic.

So, can Jieli Khan afford the gamble?

Does he dare to bet that if there is a real fight, Tuli Khan will fight with all his strength?

Do you dare to bet that in such a torrential rain at midnight, the Turks can defeat the elite Liang army despite being completely inferior in armor and weapons?

Do you dare to bet that King Qin did not arrange a strong back-up plan?

The final answer is no.

Sometimes, the power gap between the two parties is not huge.

But once one party starts to retreat, the decline will be out of control and never stop.

After thinking about it for a long time, Jieli Khan finally said: "You and Ashina Simo are going to negotiate peace with the King of Qin, and please make peace with the Liang Dynasty."

…

As a result of the peace negotiation, the King of Qin agreed to the Turks' request for marriage, and at the same time presented some gold and silk property, while the Turks gave some cattle and sheep as a return gift.

In this way, both parties achieved acceptable results.

The Turks ran in such a long circle and were scolded by the King of Qin in public. Jieli Khan needed a step down.

Although the King of Qin took a very tough stance, he also knew that it would not be wise to start a full-scale war with the Turks at this time, so he handed over some gold and silk property and made appropriate concessions.

After completing the challenge of the Seventh Year of Wude, the only thing left is the Weishui Alliance of the Ninth Year of Wude.

In this series of events, Li Hongyun also deeply realized a problem: the Weishui Alliance was not an isolated and sudden event. It was a general outbreak of conflicts between the Liang Dynasty and the Turks.

In fact, before the Liang Dynasty raised troops to pacify the world, the Turks were already eyeing the Central Plains.

In the beginning, Liang Gaozu was just one of the groups supported by the Turks.

After the unification of the Liang Dynasty, the Turks began to invade the south frequently.

Although these southern invasions are also recorded in the history books, when later generations think of the relationship between the Liang Dynasty and the Turks, they often only think of the Liang Dynasty that destroyed the Turks within a few years, so they think that the Turks were not a serious problem at all.

But after experiencing it personally, Li Hongyun discovered that in fact, every southern invasion by the Turks was full of dangers.

And if you are not careful, it is very likely that the Jingping Incident will happen in advance.

What would happen if Liang Gaozu and the prince followed the idea of ​​moving the capital to Fan and Deng?

The Turks will inevitably move southward more unscrupulously, driving straight into Chang'an, Hedong and even Hebei.

By then, these three places will be in huge crisis.

Since Chang'an and the Guanzhong area are to be relocated, burning the city and emigrating are inevitable results. However, so many people have their own land in the Guanzhong area, so they must be unable to leave their homeland.

Therefore, no matter how much we move, the prosperous Guanzhong area will still retain a lot of wealth, but the ravages of the Turks will turn this area into a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered and suffer severe suffering.

Hedong was the place where the Liang Dynasty raised its troops, but it was also the place where it faced the threat of the Turks.

Originally, the capital was in Chang'an, which could smoothly radiate its power to Hedong. Once it moved south, Hedong would be out of reach. The Turks could travel to Taiyuan every now and then, and many cities in Hedong would be under the prying eyes of the Turks.

.

As for Hebei, the situation is even worse.

Because Hebei is the place where Turkic forces have the most penetration, after Dou Jiande died and Liu Heita was defeated by the King of Qin for the first time, he borrowed cavalry from the Turks and went south.

Fan and Deng's control over Hebei is even weaker, and it is not impossible for the whole of Hebei to surrender and rebel again.

The Turks moved south every year, often bringing more than 100,000 troops with them, and every time they were not handled properly, it would turn into a disaster.

Fortunately, the King of Qin was here, and he was able to turn danger into danger every time, and even eliminated Liang Gaozu's foolish idea of ​​moving the capital.

Li Hongyun calmed down his emotions, chose Wu De Ninth Year again, and began to challenge.

After the previous rehearsal, he was already confident about this challenge.

…

The surrounding scene changed rapidly, and the Six Cavalry once again rushed out of the Xuanwu Gate and headed towards the Weishui River.

On the north bank of the Wei River, the Turkic cavalry banners stretched like clouds.

Coming to this familiar scene again, Li Hongyun's feelings changed.

This does not mean that the Liang Taizong he possesses has been strengthened in some way. There is no setting in "Dark Sand" where the character will be significantly enhanced after completing specific tasks.

It was Li Hongyun's own mentality that changed.

When he played the role for the first time, Li Hongyun actually didn't think too much. He just repeated all the things Liang Taizong did and said.

But the result was that the Turks ignored him and attacked him directly.
