Moreover, Wanyan Pingqiu only agreed to make a verbal contract with Xiao Chen. It seemed that he didn't want to leave anything written down. This coincided with Xiao Chen's idea, because he didn't want to be bound by such paperwork.
In this way, both parties will have room to adapt to unexpected situations in the future.
What Xiao Chen wants is not a contract, but the attitude of Wanyan Pingqiu and the others.
Wanyan Pingqiu agreed, and naturally the leaders of Huyanlei, Gaihe, Buhe and several other small tribes also happily agreed.
As long as Xiao Chen can fulfill the covenant, they can give an explanation to their tribesmen after they return.
In other words, the initiative is actually in Xiao Chen's hands now, but this is also a kind of pressure for Xiao Chen.
This verbal agreement with the tribes in northern Xinjiang is a double-edged sword.
If you can hold it firmly in your hand, you can use it freely in Yanyun County. If you accidentally fail to hold it firmly, you will hurt yourself.
After all, it is still a big gamble.
This gambling game had already started when Li Wanjiang sent him to Yanyun County. He used the few chips in his hand to maneuver in this gambling game controlled by many hands, and now he has gradually taken a little initiative.
The curtain of the stage that belongs to him has been slowly opened. Xiao Chen stood behind the stage and poked his head around, ready to make his debut!
In the following days, the confrontation between the two sides became less tense.
According to the agreement, Wanyan Pingqiu and the others retreated in batches first to make way for Uluolan. Xiao Chen also transported the crossbow carts, grain, grass and other baggage back first, and the infantry was basically evacuated.
Everyone abided by and implemented the agreement between each other very well, and it was a good start.
But it's time to part ways.
The setting sun was like blood, and the north wind howled, making the big flags on the hillside whistle loudly.
Wu Luolan hugged his knees and sat on the ground, staring blankly at the distant mountains to the south, which was in the direction of Niutou Mountain in Yanyun County.
"Are you still thinking about Yanyun County?" Xiao Chen came over gracefully, sat next to her, and naturally grabbed her little hand. Uluolan did not break away, but just let him hold her hand.
His hands were cold, but Xiao Chen's were warm.
"Well, you got what I couldn't get." Uluolan still seemed unwilling to accept it.
"Look what you said, isn't what's mine yours? From now on, you can go to Yanyun County to find me anytime, anywhere. Of course, it's best not to bring your Xianbo cavalry with you." Xiao Chen said.
"How can you defend such a big place with just such a small number of people?" Uluolan suddenly smiled, showing two small tiger teeth, "Do you want me to bring someone over to help you?"
"Thank you, no need. To use a Chinese saying, a weasel comes into the house and comes for any reason. Most of the time he comes here because he wants to steal something." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Hmph, just say you are luring the wolf into the house!" Uluolan said angrily, "Don't forget that the two of us have made a life-and-death pact. We are all brothers now, right?"
"Brothers will settle the score!" Xiao Chen's tone softened a little, "Anyway, none of your soldiers are allowed to cross the border without my permission, otherwise we brothers won't be able to do it."
"Do you really want to be the king of Yanyun County?" Wu Luolan said.
"That's pretty much it. Let me tell you, Ang, while I am stationed in Yanyun County, no matter whether it is your Northern Xinjiang soldiers or Dazhou soldiers, no one can come in without my permission. I will beat whoever comes in!
"Xiao Chen raised his hand and made a virtual chop in the air, indicating that he couldn't tolerate anyone now.
"What if it's Ross's soldiers?" Uluolan said suddenly.
"He has to dare even a foreign devil!" Xiao Chen put his arm around Uluolan's shoulder, "Besides, if he dares to harass me, can you still just watch and ignore him? He will definitely lead your army to help me fight.
, beat the shit out of them."
"Wow, you are such a thick-skinned person!" Uluolan couldn't help but laugh.
Just now you were clamoring not to allow any fresh soldiers to enter the country, and now you are asking me to lead a large army to help. You are so embarrassed to say it out loud!
"How can I be a king if I don't have a thick skin?" Xiao Chen was not ashamed, but proud.
"No matter what kind of crisis you are in, I am willing to help you, but I am afraid that I can't do anything." Uluolan said softly.
"It all depends on people." Xiao Chen said, "When I mentioned Ross just now, you know that their current king is a woman, right? This woman is very powerful. Not only does she control the military and political power of the entire Ross, but she also expands their territory and expands their territory.
It’s increased many times...it’s really amazing.”
"We in China also have a female emperor named Wu Zetian. During her reign, she knew people well and made good use of them, appointed people on their merits, promoted the rule of law, and paid attention to agriculture... During her time as emperor, China was more powerful than ever before. This woman is really amazing."
Xiao Chen also admired this female emperor very much.
"Haha, you don't have to beat around the bush when you talk to me. I know what you want to say, but..." Uluolan sighed softly.
"But it all depends on people." Xiao Chen couldn't put it too bluntly, so he paused and said, "Why don't you go back and follow me to Yanyun County, and let's work together to do something big."
Both of them knew very well that this time Wu Luolan was almost openly disobeying her father, King Tuhungu, and suffered heavy losses as a result.
And he secretly formed an alliance with Xiao Chen without his permission. Both of these things challenged Tuhungu's authority.
Therefore, once she goes back, she may face very severe punishment. It is a trivial matter to remove her military power, and her life may not be saved.
Because she has been leading troops since she was a child and has been for many years now, she has considerable prestige in the army, and she also has many generals who are loyal to her, such as Qiu Muling and Aruhuan.
Therefore, if Tuhungu simply removed her military power, I am afraid that there would be great consequences.
Only by killing her can her influence in the Xianbo Army be completely eliminated.
In such an imperial family, killing brothers, fathers, sons and daughters is nothing new. Didn't Li Wanjiang also kill his own son?
Didn't Li Shimin, the Mingjun of another generation, also kill his older brothers and imprison his father?
"I have to go back, otherwise I will have nothing. If I have nothing, then there will be no meaning in living." Uluolan's eyes showed disappointment and unwillingness, and there was also a touch of sadness.
It made Xiao Chen feel distressed.
He almost blurted out and asked her and her troops to stay in Yanyun County, but he still swallowed it hard.
Because Zhuge Xiaosheng and Li Tanhua have warned him seriously in the past two days, they must not let your affair with Wu Luolan ruin our big event!
Not a single Xianbo cavalry can stay in Yanyun County!
Because you have made a covenant with Wanyan Pingqiu, one of which is that all the Xianbo cavalry must withdraw. If you keep them, it will be a blatant breach of contract, and the consequences will be disastrous!
