There is really no need to pay too much attention to the border troubles in the north.
Princess Yicheng is doing her best to stabilize her position as Khan, and the four major tribes of the royal court are closely surrounding the royal court.
During this winter, the leaders and nobles of the various grassland tribes received orders from the King's Khan, asking them to set off immediately amidst heavy snowfall to attend the alliance meeting in the King's Court.
For this reason, Princess Yicheng no longer cares about anything else.
Of course, her envoy would not be so detailed and straightforward. She just told Li Po tactfully that the Turks would not send troops to help him fight in the future.
If Li Po needs it, he will be given some slaves, horses, cattle and sheep.
But Li Po didn't feel depressed at all, and his mental arithmetic was completely settled.
As long as the Turks do not invade southward, there will be no worries about merging the two states.
In the fourteenth year of Daye's reign, he went north to fight, and it was only then that he achieved peace.
The strategic environment of the two states was suddenly better than ever before.
Li Po felt as if a big boulder had been lifted from his body, and he felt relaxed all of a sudden.
You must know that in the past few years since he led the army to fight, the biggest threat he has faced is the Turkic Khanate. Every battle, every battle, every life and death, he has been entangled with the Turks.
Now, this great enemy has finally put away his minions, which is a matter worth celebrating for him and everyone else in the two states.
After that, the woman said two more things.
One was Guo Zihe of Yulin. This little warlord who was enjoying himself on the Yulin pasture broke his original promise and defected to Li Yuan.
Princess Yicheng was planning to send troops to attack her in the coming year and asked Li Po to send troops to help.
Yulin is not far from the two states of Bingdai, separated only by the Yellow River.
In fact, this was obviously an overkill thing. With the help of Liang Shidu and Xue Ju, Guo Zi and Yi Rufan were eliminated.
Asking Li Po to send troops only has some symbolic significance.
Li Po understood this very clearly and readily agreed.
But the second thing happened to Dou Jiande.
Princess Yicheng had not yet received news of Yu Wenhuaji's defeat. She asked Li Po to send someone to escort Ashina Mudan and his party east to Dou Jiande, so that Dou Jiande could attack Yu Wenhuaji.
In addition to asking for the heads of Yu Wenhua and his brothers, they also want Yang Guang's queen and his prince.
No matter what the considerations were, and no matter how ruthless the politics were, Her Royal Highness the Princess was extremely benevolent and righteous towards the Yang family of the Sui Dynasty.
When Yang Guang was around, she worked hard to maintain peace in the north and south in the Turkic royal court. When Yang Guang patrolled the north, she sent people to warn him. Yang Guang was surrounded by Yanmen, but she exaggerated the military situation and ordered Shibi Khan to withdraw his troops and return north.
To this day, she can still remember Yang Guang's family, which is really commendable.
Li Po did not think about what it would mean for the Central Plains Empire if the empress of the Sui Dynasty went to the Turks.
In this matter, he admired Princess Yicheng's character quite a lot. Regardless of whether it was mixed with other things, these wolf-like people in the south today would probably not be as impressed by Yicheng as the queen and prince of Sui Dynasty.
The princess has more kindness.
He doesn't care about the life, death and fate of those who are at a high level. He just affirms this relatively gentle quality, and he is also very willing to the beauty of adulthood.
Therefore, he agreed to this matter more happily. As for whether Dou Jiande would be released or not, and whether Queen Xiao had died in the rebellion, it was not within his scope to consider.
At this point, this negotiation has come to an end.
The two of them seemed to have some tacit understanding and didn't mention the matter of Princess Jialan.
Although not a word was mentioned, the gestures on this matter have been made. It is obvious that Princess Yicheng has other plans for her daughter.
It was an urgent matter that day, so Princess Yicheng sent her most beloved daughter to Nanbian'er, fully prepared for failure or failure.
In addition to leaving some blood for himself, he also wanted to do his best to persuade Li Po to send troops to help.
Now that it was done, people immediately regretted it.
If Li Po accepted the title of Nanmian Khan, he might have a chance to marry Princess Jialan. But now, with his family background and his current strength, he is not worthy of the Turkic Khan's favorite treasure.
There is no way to deal with this matter, and promises made out of political considerations are most unreliable.
Regardless of whether it was due to Li Po's own wishes or for some other reason, none of the promises made by Princess Yicheng were fulfilled except for the alliance.
Maybe if Li Po had been tougher, the Turkic cavalry might have reappeared in the two states.
Fortunately, Princess Yicheng, who has just ascended the throne, is wary, and Li Po is not so crazy, insisting on fighting the Turks to the death now.
Therefore, as the envoy of the Turkic royal court, the woman generally achieved the purpose of her mission. What was even more troublesome was that she got the news here that Dou Jiande had defeated Yu Wenhuaji.
With Li Ding'an, who occupied the two annexed states, as a guarantee, and with the flag of the Turkic royal court, it seemed to her that it was not very likely that Dou Jiande, who had become a vassal of the Turks, would not let him go.
In this way, she might be able to take Queen Xiao and others back to Yunzhong Grassland before spring comes.
Moreover, accomplishing these things will be of great benefit to Her Royal Highness the Princess in stabilizing her position.
So, the woman swayed around drunkenly and went to rest contentedly.
As for Li Po, although most of Princess Yicheng's previous promises were void, he also got what he wanted, peace and peaceful coexistence with the Turks. No matter whether this peace can last for one year or two years,
This time will be very precious.
After the woman left, Li Bi came out from behind, smiled and said, "Congratulations husband, the Turks will be defeated in one battle."
Li Po rolled his eyelids and thought to himself, when will you change your habit of listening to the corner?
The Turks will be decided in one battle. The Turks have a new khan. Maybe under the leadership of that woman, the Turks will be more prosperous than before.
Li Po snorted, "If this can be said to be a decisive battle for the Turks, then Huo Qiaoqi, who was granted the title of Lang Juxu, would not be so angry that he would jump out of his grave to judge us?"
Li Bi looked very happy and came over to pour wine for Li Po.
"Husband, please don't belittle yourself. It was a battle that changed the Turkic royal court's masters. How can a man named Huo be as good as my husband?"
Li Po picked up the wine glass and took a sip while nodding his head.
"Well, that's true... I just forgot that I should have erected a monument or something on the grassland at that time. Tsk tsk, this thing was not done as grandly as Lao Huo."
The boastful male and female looked at each other and laughed in unison.
The biggest thing of the year finally came to fruition. The couple felt relaxed and did not mind the scraps. After eating and drinking, they went back to sleep in each other's arms.
Li Po is indeed a little tired these days.
In fact, this is the first time he has taken over the military and political power of the two states. He has almost endless things waiting for him. It would be damning if he is not tired.
Of course, this is not surprising. From the governor of Mayi to the prefect of Mayi, then to the marching commander of Daizhou, to the current leader of the two states, it actually only took less than two years.
The various sequelae caused by insufficient accumulation and excessive expansion can only be made up for with more energy.
For example, Li Yuan brought his own subordinates to the shogunate. After becoming a stayer in Taiyuan, he still had free time to drink wine with friends, go out for shooting and recreation, etc. But when Li Po came here, he no longer had that leisurely elegance.
When I woke up the next morning, as soon as I had breakfast, someone came to report that Yu Wenxin had asked Buqun to go to the Wang family for matchmaking.
The two families hit it off almost immediately, and Yu Wenxin immediately found a beautiful wife, who was just waiting to get married in the spring.
Li Po just curled his lips when he heard this, and said in his heart that the Wang family has fallen, so he put the matter aside.
Wang is looking for support, and Yu Wenxin is showing his loyalty. Again, as long as you don't make it too exaggerated, there is no need to pay too much attention to it.
With the merging of two states, anyone who wants to become powerful cannot escape his eyes and ears now.
The two families were doing things fairly and above all, so there was no need to worry about their little thoughts. If they dared to communicate frequently in secret, that would be another matter.
Before Li Po could take a few steps after dinner, Ashina Peony came over angrily.
No need to ask, Princess Jialan can't defeat these guys in the Bingzhou Governor's Mansion. She will naturally file a complaint when she meets her own family. I guess she will be more confident after hearing that her mother has become a Turkic Khan.
After hearing some questioning, Li Po was "shocked".
"Is this happening? I will investigate thoroughly and give the princess an explanation."
Well, in his territory, others really don't have much say. If he abuses a princess, it's abuse. There are no missing arms or legs. He can really turn their family to the Turks and hand it over to Princess Yicheng for justice.
?
Ashina Peony Qi knot.
Nothing else mattered. She could also imagine that Ash Tianxiang, who was pampered in the royal court, would definitely not have a good time in Li Po's mansion. It was not unusual for her to put the princess under house arrest.
She had expected this when she first met this person.
But it is really unbearable to let the noble Turkic princess go to guard the gate of the palace, and even punch and kick the princess with her own hands?
But Li Po basically ignored her anger and turned around and asked, "Did the Khan mention when I can send the princess back to the royal court? How about next spring? I will go north with the envoy, and the weather will be warmer...
…”
The woman tried hard to suppress her anger and rolled her eyes continuously, "Once the princess returns to the Khan, are you not afraid that the Khan will be angry?"
Now they started to think about each other.
Li Po laughed and said, "The princess's safe return is more important than anything else. You and I both understand that these things will not affect the big things...then why should we be angry about it?"
