The two people standing on the beacon wall looked at each other and smiled.
The conversation up to this point is nothing more than getting to know each other's ins and outs.
Because Uluru was a woman, she was only a supervisor, not a khan, so she was weaker and had to show more details to Li Xia to show the power she had.
Li Xia has figured out the general situation.
Her personal abilities are very powerful, which she deliberately let Li Xia know.
For more than 20 years, four Mongol Khans have been plotting against the Chagatai Khanate and trying to squeeze its national power. How much savings can a woman keep if she works hard?
If nothing else, Yinli River is now in dilapidated state.
So, just like when he sought help from Meng Ge, Uluru Hu was looking for allies this time and still wanted to borrow troops.
One was to deal with Hedan, and the other was because the Chagatai Khanate must have part of its forces controlled by Aluhu. This forced her to resort to external forces in order to regain and stabilize her son's position as Khan.
Li Xia needs to test how many troops she has and how many troops Aruhu has.
"How are we going to annihilate Hedan?"
Uluru Hunai did not say anything, but only said: "When the right time comes, I will invite you to attack him from a flank. Prepare your troops and horses."
"How many troops do I need to send?"
"It doesn't need to be too many. Thirty to fifty thousand people are enough. It will have a 'surprise' effect."
She can actually speak idioms in Chinese.
Li Xia remained calm and said: "I heard that Aruhu raised an army of 150,000..."
Uluru Khunai interrupted him and said: "We will discuss specific plans after we form an alliance, otherwise there is no point, right?"
"Okay. Aren't you worried that I will continue to advance westward after leading 50,000 people to capture Bielse Bali?"
"You don't dare to fall out with me." Uluru said: "You are not as stupid as Brother Ali. You can only compete with Kublai Khan if you join forces with me."
"That is to say, I lost my troops to drive Hedan away for you, bear the wrath of Kublai Khan for you, and divert the attention and offensive of Mongolia. So that your son can be the Khan of the Western Regions alone, and you may still have
Is it possible to turn to Kublai Khan at any time?"
"But without my help, when Hedan takes over Ali Buge's troops, he will definitely enter the Hexi Corridor. Think about it for yourself, you want a Hexi Corridor with constant wars and a Hexi Corridor that requires you to deploy heavy defenses.
Or join forces with me to keep it safe? I can also trade horses, cattle and sheep with you, and I can block the offensive of the Mongolian kings for you."
"The question is, how much 'help' can you give?"
"Believe in my ability." Uluru Hunai said, "In the twenty-three years since Chagatai Khan left, I have fought with tigers and wolves to defend this vast territory for my son, so I naturally have my own means.
"
"How many of the so-called 150,000 troops are left? How many can you control?"
"Do you know how Aruhu's army came?"
"I'd love to hear what you have to say."
"He forcibly levied the herdsmen of Turkestan; he also killed all the people who belonged to Beerge in the area in the middle of the river, plundered the property of the herdsmen, and levied them; the Khan's court stationed an army of 20,000 in Qishanmier, and the commander was imprisoned by him.
He took away the military power... Do you understand? These people only obeyed on the surface, and he is unpopular. The real Khan in the hearts of the Khanate's subjects is my son, and what they really fear is Daktun, the supervisor of the country."
Li Xia said: "If that's the case, you don't need me anymore."
"I am a woman. I need an ally who will not betray me because of fear of Kublai Khan. I need an ally who can ensure that the east of the Khanate is not threatened."
At this point, Ulukhu realized that he was a little anxious, smiled, and said: "Of course, I also have another way. I can continue to join Kublai Khan with Aluhu. Wait until Kublai Khan and you
During the war, I will make my son Khan again."
"Shura Martial God"
Her smile seemed to say, "Look, I don't need to ally with you."
Li Xia said: "Kublai Khan will never let your son become a khan. Do you know why? Because of me. He will send a henchman like Brother Ali to drain your territory and use it for
My western front is putting pressure on you, and you know that."
For a moment, Wu Lu suddenly felt a little annoyed.
Obviously, Li Xia was not as easy to deal with as she expected.
"What else do you want?"
Li Xia said: "I want to know your trump card. Why do you think we can annihilate Hedan? Do you really lack my strength? Or do you want to instigate all forces to fight? Do you have other allies?
?”
He kept staring into Ulukhunai's eyes when he asked, carefully paying attention to the changes in her eyes with each sentence.
Wu Luhu was not angry, but seemed to appreciate him.
She obviously hopes to have a more rational ally than Brother Ali.
"It seems that you know the Great Mongolia very well?"
"Because I want to defeat Mongolia. To defeat it, I must first understand it and understand its systems and customs." Li Xia said: "The Hultai Conference system, the enfeoffment system, the inheritance system, the marching system, the concubine adoption system, and why
Allowing women to serve as regents... Only after understanding this can I know what you people are thinking, right?"
Wu Luhu said in Chinese: "Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles."
She probably only knew this sentence, and said in Mongolian: "You are the king I have ever seen who pays the most attention to understanding the enemy's intelligence."
"So, if you want to form an alliance with me, there is no use hiding it."
"Handsome young man, don't be anxious. You can go back and think it over carefully before talking to me again."
"You have said your request, but I have not yet said mine." Li Xia said: "I need to ensure that my soldiers will not be surrounded after they leave the border, but you don't tell me how many troops you can send."
"The purpose of forming an alliance is to establish trust, not to find out everything about the other party." Uluru said, "Young man, you are too cautious."
She met Li Xia's gaze, slowly raised her hand again, and slowly covered Li Xia's breastplate.
Li Xia didn't stop her because she really didn't have anything in her hands.
"You see, this is the first step for us to trust each other. You can be my adopted son to ensure that I will always support you."
Li Xia took a step back.
He was a little unhappy.
No matter what, he will not treat anyone as his son.
Uluru Hunai said: "What I mean is that I want my son, the Khan of the Chagatai Khanate, to sworn sworn sworn vows with you, and the two countries will become brothers. Mubalasha is eighteen years old this year, and you can become
His brother."
"A khan in name only who has no power is not even a khan. He cannot represent the Chagatai Khanate." Li Xia said: "I will only form an alliance with those who are truly capable."
"How many wives do you have?"
In fact, Li Xia only had one main concubine, two side concubines, and two concubines.
But he still answered without hesitation: "Five."
Uluru frowned slightly, but was not deterred and said: "My daughter can become your sixth wife."
She had already thought very clearly that Kublai Khan would definitely not canonize her son, and begging for mercy was of no use. Then she had to recruit more forces to deter Kublai Khan.
Marrying with Li Xia can stabilize the east side of the territory and even pave the way for his son's future.
This requires a very long-term vision and a lot of courage to make such a choice.
Maybe like when Uluru Hunai chose to defect to the "Mother of the Four Emperors" Luheteni, maybe this time it was a big mistake...
Li Xia is also thinking.
For him, agreeing to the marriage had many benefits, including another major blow to Kublai Khan's prestige.
But there are also disadvantages.
First of all, he did not have 50,000 troops to leave the border, because he would never give up the offensive against Xingqing Mansion. It was impossible to transfer troops to help Uluru Hu Nai just because he said a few words to marry another daughter;
Secondly, Ulughunai married a daughter, which is called the "sixth wife", and it requires status. It is probably like Temujin's four queens, setting up four Orudo. From now on, Mubalasa
If he is strong, he can interfere with Li Xia through his sister or his sister's son, but the reverse is also true. More importantly, if this is a wife and not a concubine, Li Xia will lose the hearts of many Jiangnan people.
Marrying a Mongolian princess will stabilize the situation in the Western Region, but you will lose a lot of help from Jiangnan in the future.
The question is whether it is necessary...
"Let me think about it." Li Xia said: "Trust cannot be established in a day, and getting 50,000 troops out of the border is no small matter."
Uluru Hunai suddenly made a digression and said: "Brother Alibu is definitely not a good ally."
Li Xia understood what she meant.
He really wanted to get in touch with Ali Buge again.
Uluru Hunai said again: "Duo Siman is fourteen years old this year. He is in the camp over there. Would you like to come to our tent and drink a bowl of milk wine?"
At this point, she paused and said, "If you are afraid, you can bring all the guards with you."
After proposing a marriage, she seemed to be passive, and even used her identity as a woman to show weakness and try to please her.
But he had the intention of forcing Li Xia to be unable to stand down.
Li Xia was still thinking about how to use 5,000 people as 50,000 people if he formed an alliance with Uluru Hunai, and still look confident.
In addition, I had a vague feeling in my heart that the woman in front of me might have extraordinary abilities, but she might be in a lot of trouble. Just like a piece of food placed in the wild, there might be a trap next to it.
Thinking about it this way, today's alliance may be composed of two people who are not very strong. Neither of them wants to tell how many troops they have. They are both bluffing and trying to coax the other party to give more.
"Okay." Li Xia was willing to explore Uluru Hunai's strength again, even to observe the appearance of her two thousand soldiers.
"please……"
Just when he raised his hand, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Suddenly he turned his head and looked, and saw several horses galloping towards him from the west.
The rising dust and smoke immediately made both parties nervous.
Li Xia and Uluru looked at each other, their eyes guarded.
Fortunately, Tan Ma quickly ran in front of him.
"Report! Report to the King! No enemy soldiers were found encircling us, but we detected soldiers and horses fighting more than 150 miles away in the northwest...
