Chapter 635 Ashur

"Let him in. Read М"

Han Zheng showed an expectant look.

At the first meeting, although Dou Wei and others returned to their own countries, they all left some envoys in Lucheng to coordinate the affairs of various countries at any time.

At the same time, they were also preparing for the second meeting.

Not long after, the envoy of Nanliang came to the study and saw Han Zheng. He said: "Your Majesty, the news just came from Xiangcheng. Beidi agreed to participate in this meeting and is willing to send envoys to Lucheng."

Han Zheng and Sato Masahisa looked at each other and were overjoyed.

Beidi agreed to this, so the only thing left was Japan.

However, Han Zheng and Muller Hongzhen both believed that the general Watanabe Kishi would not miss this opportunity.

Especially Sato Masahisa, after all, among the forces of Dasong at present, only the King of Yan could threaten Japan and hinder Japan's colonization of Dasong.

Sure enough, just seven days later, Sato Masahisa received a letter from Japan.

Watanabe ordered him to handle the alliance with full authority and promised that Japan would provide all possible support.

…

Northern Di Khan Court.

It was a cold winter, with heavy snow.

At this moment, the withered grass here was covered with thick snow, and the whole world was covered in silver.

In the howling wind, Mule Hongzhen's Khan's tent was opened.

Mule Hongzhen came outside the tent and looked up at the chaotic snowflakes in the sky.

The snow was particularly heavy these days, and there was almost no human figure five meters away.

For the people of Dasong, there is a saying that auspicious snow indicates a good harvest.

But for Northern Di, this is a snow disaster.

Because I don't know how many cattle and sheep will be frozen to death, and how many herdsmen will die of hunger and cold in this cold winter.

In the past, Northern Di had autumn hunting, looting food and grass before winter, and the fertile land of Ningjin Dusi.

This greatly alleviated the difficult situation of Northern Di in winter.

But now all this has been ruined by King Yan.

"Khan, although your wound has healed, you should still avoid catching cold and triggering old injuries." A guard reminded.

Mule Hongzhen coughed several times and subconsciously touched the place where he was injured.

At this moment, the hatred in his heart was more frantic than the flying snow in the sky.

He sighed: "If I hadn't been injured by the soldiers of King Yan, why would I care about the wind and snow."

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came: "I didn't expect that the former grassland eagle has now become a sick bird."

"Bold, who insults Khan!" The guards around Mule Hongzhen drew out their scimitars and pointed to the source of the voice.

But the heavy snow blinded them, and they could only see two shadows.

Mule Hongzhen was not angry when he heard this, but smiled.

He waved his hand to signal the guards to put down the scimitars, and said to the front: "Who else can it be except Ashur, the bastard!"

"Hahaha..." A loud laugh came, and then a figure passed through the heavy snow and came to Mule Hongzhen.

This man was tall, even taller than Mule Hongzhen by a head.

"You are finally here!" Mule Hongzhen hugged Ashur tightly.

"I didn't want to not come back, but I heard that a bastard named King Yan hurt you and killed so many Beidi soldiers. I must come back to pull out his tendons, peel off his skin, drink his blood and eat his meat."

Mule Hongzhen pinched Ashur's muscular arm heavily, "I knew your heart was still with Beidi."

Back then, he and Ashur parted unhappily because of the Khanship.

But their hearts for Beidi were the same.

They could fight for the Khanship, but when facing the enemies of Beidi, they would destroy them at all costs.

Especially this enemy caused such a heavy loss to Beidi.

Then he asked, "Why did you take so long to come back?"

Temta had been following Ashur all along. He smiled and said, "After my uncle learned that his father was going to conquer Tubo, he spent two months on the way back to conquer Tubo's vassal state, Uz, and got 80,000 Uz warriors."

Mule Hongzhen cast an admiring look at Ashur.

This Uz is just a small country at the northwest foot of Tubo.

However, Uz warriors have always been very strong. Ashur was able to conquer Uz in two months, proving that he has become much stronger over the years.

Unlike ordinary Beidi kings, Ashur is equivalent to a vassal king of Dasong in Beidi.

When Ashur failed to compete for the position of Khan, he left in anger and faced the Tusmans alone.

In order to make him work for the Khan's court and stabilize the western border of Beidi.

He promised Ashur that the Khan's court would not ask for the territory and spoils he conquered.

Therefore, Ashur has more than one king's tent under his command. In recent years, he has recruited many soldiers from small countries in the Western Regions.

"You are still so good at fighting. I am confident that I can deal with the King of Yan this time. Once Tubo is destroyed, the King of Yan will die." Mule Hongzhen said.

"Why wait until Tubo is destroyed? I can lead the troops to chop off his head and send it to my brother now." Ashur said loudly.

Mule Hongzhen glared at Temu Ta, "Didn't you introduce the King of Yan to him?"

Temu Ta smiled bitterly and said, "I told you everything, but my uncle said that his firearms are not vegetarian either."

"Your firearms?" Mule Hongzhen looked at Ashur, "Where did you get the firearms?"

Ashur also glared, "This is the spoils of war I captured when I fought with the Tusmans. You said that the spoils of war I captured and the territory I conquered are all mine. Do you still want to blame me for this?"

He was not afraid of Mule Hongzhen at all.

In fact, he has been used to being a local emperor in the Western Frontier for these years.

If it weren't for the trouble in Beidi, he wouldn't have come back at all.

Mulehongzhen was stunned for a moment, and he really wanted to get angry.

After all, if he had obtained these firearms earlier, how could he have suffered such a big loss at the hands of King Yan.

However, this is also his own fault. He has paid too little attention to Ashur's situation in these years.

As long as he doesn't rebel, he doesn't bother to care about him.

Now, Ashur can still recognize him as his brother and recognize that he is a Beidi. He can't expect anything more.

So he said: "I'm just blaming myself. I'm very happy that you can come back this time. When I die, I will give you the Khanship."

Ashur was about to quarrel with his brother.

Anyway, this is how they quarreled all these years.

But seeing that Mulehongzhen seemed to have aged a lot, and said that he would give the Khanship to him, he chose to remain silent.

After a while, he changed the subject and asked, "I heard that Ulanba went to Russia?"

"Yes, the firearms of the King of Yan are very powerful, so under the recommendation of a Russian missionary, I decided to establish exchanges with Russia to obtain excellent firearms from Russia to fight against the King of Yan."

Ashul said, "This Russian country is indeed powerful, and the Tusmans are not its opponents. It is said that the Tusmans have expanded northward several times, but were repelled by Russia. In terms of firearms, the Tusmans of the Toast Empire are also far behind this Russian country."

Muler Hongzhen heard this He was even more delighted. He said, "So, it is even more necessary to establish contact with the Russian State. If we can get the help of the Russian State, it will be just around the corner to conquer the King of Yan."

Ashur shook his head, "But in my opinion, the Russian State is much more terrible than the King of Yan you mentioned. They have a stronger ambition to expand than our Beidi. Once this Russian State was just a small country in the West, but now, the territory of this Russian State has spanned the East and West."

Mu Lehongzhen was also shocked for a while. I didn't expect that this Russian State was very simple.

He said, "But there is a proverb on our grassland that only by closing the sheepfold can we drive away the wolves on the grassland. After all, the Russian State is far away from us, and the King of Yan is too close."

Ashur nodded, "In this case, I will obey your order."

Mu Lehongzhen smiled.

His plan has not changed, and Ashur still needs to subdue Tubo.

Although he agreed to participate in the Lucheng League.

But before Ulanba returns, he will not rashly fight with the King of Yan again.

Although this meeting was a rare opportunity.

But he knew that the Northern Di could not break through the Qin Pass and Yan Pass guarded by the Yan King's troops from the north and west, no matter how many troops they had.

And neither the Southern Liang nor the Qi State would allow too many Northern Di troops to enter the territory to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Yan King.

After all, they were no less vigilant against the Northern Di than the Yan King.

Therefore, in this meeting, the position of the Northern Di was destined to be embarrassing.

But it was better than nothing.

The Northern Di would still actively participate in the meeting.

If the coalition could severely injure the Yan King, the opportunity they had been waiting for would come.

If not, the Northern Di would only suffer minor losses.

Then, his original plan would continue to be implemented, and he would fight the Yan King again after getting the help of the Russian State.
