"How can it be unreasonable? How can it be unreasonable? They obviously conspired secretly to treat us as fools."
"These sons of bitches, the people of the Southern Dynasties are really cunning. They will also play these tricks. If they have the ability, they will compete with us openly on the battlefield."
"Capital, now it is the Southern Dynasty that has broken the covenant first, we should teach them some lessons."
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, order the attack. We will definitely capture Shule within three days."
"Please also ask the Commander-in-Chief to order the attack."
The news that the Song Army occupied Shule quickly reached the Jin Army's tent, which made the Jin Army generals furious. Even a fool could see that this was a play directed and performed by Li Qi.
Originally, Yelu Dashi was cornered by them and victory was close at hand. However, they never expected that the Song army actually let Yelu Dashi escape and occupied Shule to prevent them from pursuing the enemy.
This is unbearable!
Everyone was furious!
They all came to the center and asked Wanyan Zongwang to send troops to attack Shule.
Wanyan Zongwang had no expression on his face and glanced at the soldiers. After a while, he waved his hands and said, "You guys should sit down first. You can't win the battle by making noise like this."
His tone was very calm, without any fluctuation.
The general below looked around and then sat back down.
Wanyan Zongwang said: "You all say that the Southern Dynasty betrayed the covenant, but how about you tell me where they betrayed the covenant?"
Shu Lie said quickly: "As we all know, Yelu Dashi is our enemy. They actually let Yelu Dashi escape. Doesn't this count as breaking the covenant?"
Wanyan Zongwang smiled and said: "It's not about letting go, it's about beating them away. Although we all know that they did it deliberately, we have no evidence and we will argue when the time comes. We have no reason to refute at all."
"Du Tong, can this be the end of it?"
"Of course not. How can we just let this matter go?"
Suddenly, a guard came in and said: "To report to the capital, the spies have come to report that the Privy Council of the Southern Dynasty came to Shule more than half a month ago."
"What? It's that stinky cook again."
"Let me tell you, who came up with this despicable and shameless trick? It turned out to be the stinky cook."
"This damn cook, wow. I can't wait to peel off his skin and drink his blood."
"If this stinky cook falls into our hands one day, I will definitely give him a terrible death."
...
The generals under Wanyan Zongwang's tent almost exploded with anger when they heard that Li Qi was responsible for it again. This Li Qi was really their culprit. You must know that there were many people here who had been Li Qi's prisoners in the past.
What a shame!
Wanyan Zongwang narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "It's him? That's not surprising."
Balu said: "Du Tong, the cook came just in time. This is God's opportunity for us to take revenge."
Wanyan Zongwang narrowed his eyes and nodded, seeming a little tempted, but did not make a sound.
At this time, another spy walked in quickly. "Reporting to the capital, according to reliable information, the Southern Dynasty has invited the Khan of the Eastern Karakhan Dynasty to go to Shule to negotiate on this matter."
"Really?" Wanyan Zongwang frowned, turned to Liu Yanzong and asked, "Yanzong, what do you think?"
Liu Yanzong shook his head and said: "We still don't know the reality of the Song Army. Moreover, when we went westward, we were not prepared to fight the Song Army here. If we start a war rashly, the outcome is unpredictable. If the Song Army loses, they can go to the Hehuang area.
Retreat, but if we lose, the whole army may be annihilated, and I don’t think we have reached this point.”
Wanyan Zongwang nodded and said: "The key is that we have no reason. Shule is not our territory. The Song army occupied Shule and it was up to us to seek justice. This cannot be justified in any way."
Liu Yanzong said: "Yes, but the Eastern Karahan Dynasty has never had any disputes with the Southern Dynasty. Why do they occupy Shule? I think the Eastern Karahan Dynasty will not give up. Why don't we be a middleman and help Eastern Karahan secretly?"
The Khan Dynasty will seek justice from that stinking cook. As long as the Eastern Karakhan Dynasty takes back Shule, we can march into Shule and attack the Western Regions through the Yelu Dashi."
Wanyan Zongwang sighed and said: "To tell you the truth, what I hate most in my life is negotiating with that cook."
Liu Yanzong smiled and said: "Du Tong, if the negotiation fails, it will be more beneficial to us, and we can reap the benefits. The stinky cook is trying to help Yelu Dashi block this fatal blow!"
Wanyan Zongwang's eyes lit up and he laughed, "That makes sense."
...
Shule City.
"Privy Envoy, I went around the city at the end of yesterday and found that when the Yelv Stone was removed, almost all the strong men in Shule City were recruited away. Most of the people left here are old, weak, women and children."
Wu Jie reported to Li Qi with a slight anger on his face.
Li Qi waved his hand and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. The most valuable thing in Shule is these roads. In terms of population, just based on this geographical location, the population of Shule will be more than doubled in less than half a year."
After a pause, he continued: "The most important thing at the moment is to appease the remaining people, so that they don't panic, and allocate some food to them. Oh, go and prepare a detailed report of the local land for me.
I want them, the locals, to get rich even while they are lying down.”
"Yes, I will order someone to investigate now."
At this time, Zhang Xian walked in quickly and said: "To inform the Privy Envoy, someone from the Eastern Karakhan Dynasty sent a reply. They expressed their willingness to negotiate with us in Shule."
Li Qi chuckled: "Let's see if I don't kill them this time."
...
Looking at the entire war, the one who suffered the most heavy losses was Ibrahim II, the Khan of the Eastern Karakhanid Dynasty. Not long after he came to the throne, he encountered a domestic rebellion. Originally, he just wanted to ask Yelu Dashi to come and help him quell the rebellion.
Unexpectedly, the Jin Army was attracted again, causing the country to be in chaos. After finally negotiating with the Jin State, the Song Army stepped in again and occupied the main road leading to the Western Regions.
All in all, Ibrahim II was in dire straits this year, but no matter what, he did not want to give up Shule to the Song Dynasty. This was a piece of fat. Even if Li Qi did not go to him, he planned to let him go.
Go to Li Qi and ask Li Qi to hand over Shule.
But he was a little scared about going to Shule to negotiate, but Wanyan Zongwang said to accompany him, which made him dispel his doubts. To put it bluntly, although he was the Khan King, Wanyan Zongwang's life was much more valuable than his.
.
Soon, the time and location of the negotiation were decided. The location was Shule City, and the time of negotiation was set in half a month. After all, Ibrahim II also needed time to come here.
This half month passed quickly.
After Wanyan Zongwang, King Ibrahim II of the Eastern Karakhan Dynasty led 500 soldiers to Shule City. On the Song Dynasty side, Li Qi personally led all the soldiers out of the city to greet him.
"Haha, Second Prince, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon. I have to say, this is such a rare fate!"
When Li Qi saw Wanyan Zongwang, he opened his hands and trotted over quickly, laughing. It was like seeing an old friend for many years.
When Wanyan Zongwang heard Li Qi's laughter, he felt a headache. He thought to himself, this guy might smile like this when he meets the enemy who killed his father. But he is not Li Qi. This kind of laughter is not something that can be said to exist. When he got off the horse, it seemed that
Xiaofei said with a smile: "To be honest, I hate fate the most."
Li Qi snorted and said, "How do you say this?"
Wanyan Zongwang said in a calm tone: "Because fate is beyond the control of others, isn't there also a good fate and a bad fate?"
Li Qi was stunned and thought to himself, The fate between me and him should be regarded as a bad fate. But he smiled and said: "Brilliant! What the Second Prince said is really brilliant!" After that, he waved to Shu Liesu and other Forbidden Army generals.
: "Hi! Long time no see, fellow warriors."
"snort!"
Shu Liesu and others all tilted their heads, not giving any face to Li Qi.
Wanyan Zongwang said: "Privy envoys, don't be offended. They don't understand Chinese well and think you are making fun of them."
This reason is really perfunctory. Li Qi doesn't care at all. If the face can be used as food, whoever can eat the meat will be the big winner. Besides, people have suffered such a big loss, and they can't let people get rich.
A few complaints, that would be too arrogant. Hehe smiled and said: "I understand, I understand."
Wanyan Zongwang suddenly turned sideways, reached out to the man on the horse and said, "This is the Khan of the Eastern Karakhan Dynasty."
Originally, the emperor rarely participated in such negotiations, but you must know that this is still the territory of the Eastern Karakhan Dynasty. In his own territory, the emperor can directly participate, and the people negotiating on the other side are the Privy Council of the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom.
The second prince, unless he, the Khan, comes in person, whoever is sent will be one level lower in status. This is already half as low as before even talking about it. How can we continue talking about it? Therefore, after weighing it again and again, Ibrahim II decided to come in person. After all,
He is also young and energetic.
Wanyan Zongwang had just dismounted, but he was still sitting high on the horse. After all, he was the king of Khan and his ministers, so of course he would not lower himself.
In fact, Li Qi had noticed Ibrahim II for a long time, and gave him enough respect. He saluted with Turkic etiquette and said: "Li Qi, the privy envoy of the Song Dynasty, has met King Khan."
Acted very respectfully.
Ibrahim II just got off the horse. He was about 1.8 meters tall and looked a little taller than Li Qi. These Turks were taller and very strong. They were about twenty years old. He saw that Li Qi was polite.
, giving him enough face, I was very happy, and he said: "I have heard about the name of the Golden Knife Chef King for a long time, and when I saw it today, it is really well-deserved." (Ibrahim does not speak Chinese, so I will omit the description of the translation here.)
Li Qi said humbly: "King Khan has given me the reward."
Ibrahim II said: "Everyone has come a long way. I have not fulfilled my duty as a landlord, which is really inappropriate. I hope you can forgive me."
A flash of admiration flashed in Wanyan Zongwang's eyes, and he secretly thought, it seems that this Khan King is not a fool.
Li Qi couldn't tell what he was saying, but he didn't care about it and said: "King Khan is so polite. Li Qi feels frightened."
Ibrahim II stretched his hand towards the city gate and said: "Everyone, please come inside." He looked like a master.
Wanyan Zongwang quickly stretched out his hand and said: "King Khan, please."
The two people's back and forth really made it appear that they were the masters of Shule, while Li Qi was an outsider.
Yang Zaixing on the side was unhappy and said in a low voice: "Privy Councilor, they are too arrogant. How about I give them some lessons?"
Li Qi looked at Yang Zaixing in surprise and thought to himself, this guy is really brave. The opponent is Wanyan Zongwang. The only person in the world who dares to teach him a lesson is probably the deceased Wanyan Aguda. Who are you? He shook his head and said: "Forget it, forget it, these words of showing off are all leftover from my playing. I have now evolved to the state of 'not being stuck in objects, and all vegetation, trees, bamboos and rocks can be used as swords'. Let them go."
