Seeing that Qin Xiao didn't say anything, Luoting Kedun asked: "I have told you the origin of the strange disease, can you... can you really help me cure it?"
"If I can get out of here, I will naturally do my best." Qin Xiao said lightly: "After the two Taoist nuns left, did they not send anyone else to find you?"
"No." Ke Dun said: "I sent people to sneak into the Tang Kingdom to inquire about the clues of these two Taoist nuns, and wanted to capture them. However, the Tang Kingdom has a vast territory, and the two Taoist nuns have never mentioned their origins, and they have never mentioned them to this day.
No clues."
Qin Xiao said: "They will not poison you for no reason. If the cold poison in your body is really their fault, sooner or later they will find you."
"If they still dare to come to the desert, I will cut them into pieces." Ke Dun said fiercely.
Qin Xiao smiled disdainfully and said: "If they said they could help you completely remove the poison from your body, would you still kill them? They may do this intentionally to control you. When they need you one day, they will
In exchange for the antidote, they will force you to do something for them."
"What can the two Taoist nuns ask me to do?" Ke Dun asked doubtfully, "I rewarded them with gold and silver, but they didn't accept it."
"Although gold and silver treasures are good things, not everyone takes them seriously."
Ke Dun smiled sweetly and said: "Then do you like gold and silver? If you can help me detoxify, I will definitely reward you heavily."
"Kedun finally showed your fox tail." Qin Xiao chuckled: "You kept saying this was your tomb before, and you came here with the intention of dying, but now you want me to help you detoxify. It seems that you don't know what to do with it."
I don’t want to die.”
But Dun smiled and said: "Seeing such an interesting little hero like you really makes me feel that it is better to be alive."
"Then my previous guess seems to be correct." Qin Xiao sneered: "Are you going to hide here and wait for the reinforcements from Luozhi Mountain to rescue you?" Looking around, he said: "In that case, there are naturally stored things down here.
Food and water are enough to last you until He Gu’s main troops come back.”
"The fall of the Iron Palace this time was indeed due to my negligence." Ke Dun sighed: "I underestimated the Zhenyu people. I didn't expect that they could cross the Death Swamp and kill them in a roundabout way. I also didn't expect that Tie Han secretly sent out cavalry.
Sneak attack. He Gu's warriors are brave and good at fighting. Although the soldiers and horses guarding the Khan's tent were defeated, the main force is still there. The person commanding the main force of He Gu's cavalry is my most trusted Tutun. The news from the Iron Palace will soon spread.
When he gets the news, he will immediately lead his troops back to help, and then he can reverse the situation." After a pause, he said in a disgusting voice: "Little hero, you are from the Tang Dynasty, but you serve the Zhenyu people. What benefits did they give you? As long as
If you are willing to take refuge in He Gu, I will definitely treat you better than they do, and I can give you whatever you want."
Qin Xiao felt funny in his heart. This Ke Dun was always scheming, and now he actually wanted to bribe him. He smiled disdainfully and said: "Ke Dun really thinks things are very simple. Do you think the situation can be reversed when the reinforcements come back?"
"There are fifteen thousand elite cavalry in Luozhi Mountain. Looking at the entire desert, there are few tribes with such powerful cavalry." Ke Dun was quite confident and said slowly: "The Zhenyu people should withdraw their troops immediately.
Otherwise, when the reinforcements come back, none of them will be able to escape."
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Does Ke Dun think that the wolf cavalry will just run away in confusion?"
"Of course not." Ke Dun sneered and said: "The cavalry who attacked the Khan tent are just the vanguard. No matter whether they succeed or not, there will be reinforcements behind them. If they win, the reinforcements from the rear will help control Tieshan. If they lose, they will also
Regroup and fight again."
Qin Xiaodao: "It seems that Ke Dun is not stupid. He knows that there will be a big war next."
"He Gu warriors will not be afraid of any enemy." At this moment, Ke Dun's tone was extremely firm, showing the majesty of Ke Dun.
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "So what? Now that Tie Han has broken up with He Gu and lost his troops, how can he establish prestige in the desert if he doesn't conquer He Gu? Tie Han's army is coming to kill him, but
Do you think that your troops with less than 20,000 troops can withstand Tie Han's army?"
Ke Dun said calmly: "Even if he is defeated, He Gu will fight to the last soldier."
"So Ke Dun is going to lead hundreds of thousands of your troops to die without hesitation?" Qin Xiao said: "Then let the wolf cavalry step on your corpses and take the Iron Mountain as your own?"
Ke Dun was silent for a moment and finally said: "What do you want to say?"
"I just want to know, why doesn't Ke Dun seek an alliance with the Zhenyu tribe?" Qin Xiao asked: "Once the Zhenyu tribe and the Hegu tribe unite, and even convince Bu Liuda to join the alliance, then the entire Modong grassland will
After turning into a fist, no matter how powerful Tie Han is, he will not dare to launch a war against Mo Dong easily."
Ke Dun chuckled and said: "Little hero, have you drunk too much liquor? The Hegu tribe and the Zhenyu tribe have formed an alliance? Do you know that the three Xile tribes have been fighting each other since more than a hundred years ago? How many
Everyone died at the hands of each other, and the Hegu tribe and the Zhenyu tribe are a life-and-death feud. It is simply fantastic to want the three Xile tribes to form an alliance."
"But Dunke knows that the wolf cavalry attacked the Khan tent tonight. After the Zhenyu cavalry entered the battlefield, they did not unite with the wolf cavalry to attack the He Gu people. Instead, they attacked the wolf cavalry at the same time in a tacit understanding with the He Gu soldiers." Qin Xiaoxuan.
Xu said: "No one reached an agreement in advance, and no one even said a word on the battlefield. Whether it was the True Feather Cavalry or the He Gu warriors under your command, at that moment, they all regarded the Wolf Cavalry as the enemy."
Ke Dun was silent, and after a long time, he sighed quietly: "No matter what, He Gu and Zhen Yu have the same origin. Although they have been feuding for hundreds of years, their flesh and blood are connected."
"Kedun understands this truth, then the crisis in Modong may be resolved." Qin Xiaodao: "I know that both the Zhenyu tribe and the Hegu tribe want to conquer each other, and I also know that you both hope to rebuild the Kingdom of Xile. Now the enemy is
Currently, Tie Han's powerful wolf cavalry has pointed its saber at Mo Dong. Now you have a common enemy. If you want to survive, the only way is to form an alliance."
Ke Atun asked: "Who asked you to say these words? Is it Maha Wuqing?"
"If Wuqingtage is willing to form an alliance with your tribe, will Ketun be willing?"
Ke Dun sighed softly: "Even if I agree, will other people in the tribe agree? How many people's fathers and brothers died under the swords of the Zhenyu people. They have sworn hatred with the Zhenyu people, and everyone wants to kill Zhenyu."
How is it possible for the Yu people to kill them all and let them fight side by side with the real Yu people?"
"Similarly, countless Zhenyu people have died in your hands." Qin Xiao said: "If you don't abandon the past grudges and continue to be enemies, you will only become the ghost under Tie Han's sword in the end."
Ke Dun said: "The Zhenyu people have already occupied the Iron Palace, are they willing to negotiate and form an alliance?"
"If you are willing, I can broker this matter." Qin Xiao relented when he saw Ke Dun, feeling happy in his heart. However, he knew that the matter had not yet been revealed, and it was by no means an easy matter to truly bring about an alliance between the two factions.
"Can you convince Zhenyu Wuqing?" Ke Dun said: "Who are you?" Suddenly something occurred to him and he asked: "Zhenyu people passed through the death swamp and detoured to the east of Iron Mountain. Is this what you want?
What idea did you come up with?”
Qin Xiaodao: "Why does Ke Dun have such speculation?"
"If the Zhenyu people knew what they were doing, they wouldn't have waited until today." Ke Dun said: "You are from the Tang Dynasty. You want to promote an alliance between the tribes of Xile, but you want the tribes of Modong to become a force that restrains Tie Han? What if Mo Mo
If the eastern tribes form an alliance, Tie Han will not be able to continue to expand eastward. If he cannot capture the Zhen Yu tribe and the He Gu tribe, he will not be able to obtain excellent war horses and the ores from Tieshan. Tie Han will not be able to increase his strength. In this way, he will
I don't dare to start a war with Tang State easily." He chuckled and said, "Your ultimate goal is to use the Xile tribes to help Tang State contain Tie Han. Am I right?"
Qin Xiao thought that Tan Ke Dun was not an ordinary person after all. It was not surprising that he could see this level. He smiled and said: "Ke Dun is wise, what you said is not wrong. I really hope that the Xile tribes can become a constraint."
Tie Han's important strength. But having said that, this is good for us. If the Xile tribes can form an alliance, the four northern towns of the Tang Dynasty will also have 100,000 elite soldiers, clamping down on Tie Han on both sides. If Tie Han wants to do whatever he wants in the desert, then
It’s just a fool’s dream.”
"Your four northern towns say they have 100,000 elite soldiers, but in a real fight, I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand a single blow." Luotang Kedun said calmly: "As far as I know, the four northern towns have factions and chaos in the army.
, although Tai Shi Cunxu, your general in the north, is very brave, he may not be able to completely control the four northern towns. Of the four northern towns, only Rouxuan Town is his direct descendant. Whether it is Huaishuo or Wuchuan, listen to him openly.
He gave orders, but he complained a lot about him behind his back."
Qin Xiao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Luo Tan Ke Dun would actually say these words.
He didn't know much about the four northern towns. He only knew that the general in charge of the four northern towns was Taishi Cunxu, the general of Zhenbei. Taishi's family was a martial arts family of the Tang Dynasty, but they were not members of the eighteen generals who founded the Tang Dynasty.
The descendants, however, made their fortune in the Wuzong Dynasty and were considered to be a rising family in the Tang Dynasty.
At the beginning, I also learned from the mouth of Dali Temple Shaoqing Yunlu that Tantai Qianjun, the general of the Wuchuan Guards among the four towns, was the biological father of Tantai Xuanye, the current commander of the Longlin Imperial Guards. When the saint ascended the throne, the world
During the chaos, the grassland tribes took the opportunity to go south and used Wuchuan Town as a breakthrough point to tear open the defense line of the Tang Dynasty border army. Wuchuan Town defended desperately, but Tai Shihong, the chief general of the four northern towns, used Wuchuan Town officers and soldiers to buy time and retreated across the board.
Yanmen, thus causing heavy losses to Wuchuan Town, and thousands of Tantai troops also sacrificed their lives for the country, but since then, Wuchuan Town has regarded the Taishi family as its great enemy.
Qin Xiao knew that the four northern towns were not monolithic. However, from Luotang Kedun's words, Qin Xiao felt that he did not have enough awareness of the situation in the four northern towns. The situation in the four northern towns seemed to be more severe than he thought.
Much more.
After all, even Luotang Kedun, who was in Iron Mountain, knew so much about the disputes in the four northern towns, so the struggle in the four northern towns might have been public knowledge for a long time.
