Wu Lachi put down the wine bag and asked directly: "Good friend, you must be surprised to see me, but don't worry, I don't want to fight now, we are still good friends, and I will not hurt you."
Xue Poye said leisurely: "Brother Wu, what you said is contrary to what you said. Now I can turn you into a puddle of flesh at any time, but you can't hurt me."
Wu Lachi burst out laughing and asked: "Then will you make me become meat?"
"That's not necessarily true." Xue Poye touched his shoulder, where there were still scars left after Ulachi was shot, and said calmly: "If it were on the battlefield, I would naturally kill you with all my strength, but
Now that you are here alone, I would like to know what your intentions are?"
"Good friend, this is not a battlefield." Wu Lachi smiled.
Xue Poye asked Wu Lachi to sit down, and he also sat down and said: "Brother Wu, I really don't understand what you mean, you... do you treat war as a child's play? Do you know that you came here alone, my subordinates
Once they know your identity, they won't let you go."
Wu Lachi laughed and said: "Good friend, Wu Lachi dared to come, but he never put his own life in his eyes."
Xue Poye sighed, stared at Wu Lachi, and looked solemn: "Brother Wu, you can't come here just to have a few sips of wine with me. If you have anything to do, you can just talk about it."
Wu Lachi gave a thumbs up and said: "Happy!" After a pause, he asked directly: "Good friend, are your Chu army planning to invade the grassland?"
Xue Poye frowned and said calmly: "Brother Wu, why do you ask this?"
"Wulachi's ambition, good friends may know, is to gallop across the world on horseback and teach the barbarians to swing their whips across every inch of land under the sun." Wulachi looked solemn and said slowly: "But after this one
Zhan, Ulachi understands that although I, Ulachi, have great ambitions, there are some things that cannot be accomplished by human power alone without the right time, place, and people."
Xue Poye nodded and said: "Brother Wu, it's good to think so. Regardless of the weak culture of Chu people, if we really want to fight, it will be more than enough to deal with Beihu. Fighting a war does not rely solely on one's strength and strength, as you said
"The right time, right place, right people, and the right people are indispensable, and the abundance of resources is also a key factor in war."
"That's right." Wu Lachi sighed, helplessness flashed in his eyes: "Although cattle and sheep are everywhere in our Beihu grassland, compared to the Central Plains, it is still far behind." He paused, and his face showed a strange look.
With a look on his face, he said: "Good friends, the thunderbolts you fired caused heavy casualties to our Hu people. We, the Northern Hu, don't have anything like that."
Xue Poye remained calm and said "Oh".
Wu Lachi smiled and said: "Good friend, you don't have to worry that I am here to inquire about the news. The 'Tian Lei' in your hands is your treasure, and I will not inquire about it. But this retreat is different from that day.
Thunder is still somewhat related. If we continue to fight, I don’t know how many Beihu warriors will die under the thunder."
Xue Poye was still a little proud. Wu Lachi kept calling the cannon "Heavenly Thunder", and his voice was full of unconcealed fear. In other words, this cannon had already given the barbarians enough deterrence.
.
"Brother Wu, actually you said that even now, I still don't know the real purpose of your trip." Xue Poye smiled bitterly and said: "You are willing to take a big risk and come to my Chu camp, and what you discussed is definitely not an ordinary thing?"
Wu Lachiyang took another sip of wine and said, "My good friend, I won't show off any more. I want to ask you a favor."
"Help?"
"I understand." Wu Lachi looked at Xue Poye: "Good friend, go and tell your emperor that I, Beihu, will not have another war with Da Chu within ten years - as long as I live!"
Xue Poye was filled with surprise and stood up: "Seriously?"
Dachu and Beihu stopped fighting and did not fight for ten years. From any point of view, this was great news.
However, Xue Poye quickly calmed down. As an ambitious Northern Hu warrior like Wu Lachi, who holds the military power of Northern Hu, how could he say that there should be a truce?
The value of a warrior is reflected on the battlefield, and the bellicose Beihu people regard dying on the battlefield as an honor.
Is such a race willing to go ten years without fighting?
With a calm mind, Xue Poye quickly became cautious and frowned: "Brother Wu, you are a man of your word. I believe what you say, but... I don't understand why? Ten years without fighting.
, do you have any conditions?"
Wu Lachi clapped his hands and said, "Good friend, you are so smart." After a pause, he said, "However, although this condition is beneficial to me, Beihu, it is also of great benefit to you, Da Chu." Wu Lachi said directly,
I want to do business with Dachu!"
"Trade?"
"Not bad." Wu Lachi looked serious.
Xue Poye touched his nose and said slowly: "Aren't Beihu and Dachu always doing this business?"
Wu Lachi shook his head and said: "Those private transactions cannot be brought to the table, and we Hu people are always the ones who suffer. The trade I want must be protected. You people from Chu State can set up a base in Bei Hu.
Just like your Chu people's trading house, they can always be stationed in Beihu, and I, Beihu, will send people to protect their safety and will not cause any trouble for their business. Of course, when I, the Hu merchant, arrive in your Chu country,
You can also set up a trading house, and your government must also provide protection. In addition to providing security guarantees and smooth trade for both parties, the trade goods between you and me will also increase... If you can agree, we will send a mission to Dachu
, discuss the specific matters."
Xue Poye touched his nose. This Ulachi was really a flexible and flexible hero. He couldn't win on the battlefield, so he immediately changed his strategy and used trade to strengthen Beihu's national power and grow stronger.
However, trade between the north and the south was a good thing that brought more benefits than disadvantages to the people of Chu.
When talking about the shopping mall on the battlefield, Xue Poye felt that Ulachi was really extremely talented.
"Brother Wu, trade between the north and the south should be considered a good thing, but there is a problem, as you know." Xue Poye said slowly: "Between Dachu and Beihu, there are two ancient crossings of the Han River and the Qilin Mountains.
Obstacles, there are swarms of bandits there, which is very detrimental to the trade flow between Beihu and Dachu."
Wu Lachihao said angrily: "Kill! Those gangsters are just dust on the table. Just wipe them and they will be clean."
When Xue Poye was in Hangzhou, he studied under Han Mozhuang. At that time, he learned from Yuan Tiangang and Han Mozhuang the crux of the Hanshui Ancient Ferry and the Qilin Mountains. It was just that Beihu and Dachu could not achieve official unification. As long as
With a little cooperation between the two sides and their own troops, they will be able to wipe out all the bandits.
"Brother Wu, turning enemies into friends is what Chu people want to see." Xue Poye touched his nose and said: "These things you mentioned will always be successful as long as both parties communicate well with each other and work together.
As for the Holy Spirit, I will try my best to advise you...!" After a pause, he raised the wine bag and took a sip, and sighed: "Brother Wu, you are really an amazing hero. Have you ever thought about what you are doing today?
Come here, if this fails, your life will be in danger."
Wu Lachi said nonchalantly: "For Wu Lachi, if you can't beat him, then you have to take him as your teacher. I have been preparing for a long time to go south this time, but after the actual fight, I realized that I
The national strength of Beihu is still far behind that of Dachu. Within a few years, if we, Beihu, don't work hard, even if the Hu people are brave, we will not be able to defeat Dachu." He took a sip and wiped it off.
Wiping the wine dregs from the corner of his mouth, he continued: "So Ulachi is willing to spend ten years of efforts and work hard to improve, and ten years later, he will have a good fight with your Chu country!"
Xue Poye was not surprised when he heard these words. He knew in his heart that as long as Beihu existed, his voyeurism towards Da Chu would never be eliminated. If these ten years of peace were spared, although Beihu would be let go
Although the state of Chu will gradually become stronger, it is still unclear who will win at that time.
"Good friend, when Wu Lachi came, he also thought that he was not afraid that you would kill me." Wu Lachi chuckled and said: "In the eyes of some people, if you kill me, Beihu will definitely have civil strife, tribal fighting, and great power.
Minus, yes or no?"
Xue Poye really thought about it this way.
Killing Ulachi, no one in the tribes on the Beihu grassland can hold it down, and it will definitely set off a new round of power struggle. The tribes will also fight for power and attack each other. In that case, Beihu will
The power will be further weakened, which is obviously a good thing for the Chu Kingdom.
Xue Poye still had a clear distinction between public and private affairs, and deep down in his heart, he was even weighing whether he should kill Ulachi.
Wu Lachi said leisurely: "Good friend, if you kill me, the Beihu grassland will naturally fall into war. But you should know that there are so many warriors in Beihu. In less than two years, there will be new warriors to suppress it.
Tribes, at that time, even if the warriors of Beihu knew clearly that they were no match for Chu, they would still harass you at the Chu border every three days, or even start a big war. That was possible. Ulachi
I can guarantee that as long as I die, Da Chu and Bei Hu will never have ten years of peace!"
Xue Poye pondered.
As long as Ulachi dies, Beihu and Dachu will not have ten years of peace. Xue Poye believes this, and Xue Poye believes it even more. Considering the kind of person Ulachi is, this sentence is not false.
Xue Poye now admires Ulachi from the bottom of his heart even more. There are many warriors in Beihu, but there are probably not many brave warriors like Ulachi.
Such a person can definitely control the barbarians.
"Brother Wu, send your envoys to Kyoto to meet our emperor." Xue Poye said solemnly: "Let's sit down and talk slowly about the matters that need to be resolved."
Wu Lachi stood up, walked to Xue Poye, slapped Xue Poye heavily on the shoulder, and laughed and said: "Good friend, it's so nice to talk to you!"
Xue Poye let out a long sigh and said, "I hope that after ten years of mutual understanding, we will never see each other again on the battlefield."
"At least in these ten years, you and I can drink happily!" Wu Lachi smiled and said: "Good friend, there is another gift. Don't you want to take a look?"
"What?" Xue Poye was stunned, but he quickly remembered that there were two wooden boxes shipped this time. Ulachi appeared in one, but what about the other one? Could there be someone hiding there too? Who could it be?
