Chapter 239: Reason

Yelu Qi tried his best not to let himself see the young face of Li Ze in front of him, and tried hard to create in his heart that the other party was a great Tang Dynasty figure who was about to hold heavy troops and control a huge force. It took a while before this psychological construction was completed.

"The first thing is that you need to convince me to believe you." Yelu Qi said: "Don't say anything about the official's wish, nor do you have to be a little stupid. I need a reason that I think is very good, so that I can believe that you really want to surrender me, and not throw it away after using it."

Li Ze nodded and smiled and said, "This is a very legitimate reason. Guan'er, of course, will seal you, but that is a matter for the future. The reason why I want to surrender you is that I hope you can help me take Yingzhou. Now my main force is all besieging Shi Yi in Zhangwu. With Shi Yi's ability, it is not realistic to want to take him down in a short period of time. Lu Long's army is still very good at fighting. And I only have two thousand cavalry now and do not have the strength to take Yingzhou at all."

"Why have to take Yingzhou? You have already taken Henghai. I also heard that you are about to take charge of Chengde. The land of the Eight Prefectures is not worse than Lu Long. Although the territory is still smaller, Lu Long's land is vast and sparsely populated, and in terms of wealth, it is far from comparable to your territory."

"This is not a question of whether the territory is not a territory." Li Ze shook his head, picked up a small stone seed on the ground, and outlined a few strokes on the ground. Yelu Qi looked down and saw that it was clearly a regional map of Shenzhou, Yingzhou, and Jingzhou.

"Did you see it? Yingzhou is like a sect, and the head is just between Shenzhou and Jingzhou. If I can't take Yingzhou quickly, Zhang Zhongwu will definitely send reinforcements immediately, and he will definitely station heavy troops here in the future. In this way, Zhang Zhongwu can attack Shenzhou and Jingzhou at will, which forces me to station heavy troops in these two places. This is not what I want. I can't let a thorn be stuck in my heart." Li Ze said. "Even if he doesn't station heavy troops here, he will only station one of your Khitan cavalry. With your peeing nature, you will run east today and west tomorrow. If you fight and grab horses, you will run away. Could it be that I will chase you? You can only be a thief for thousands of days, and there is no reason to defend against thieves for thousands of miles."

He looked up at Yelu Qi, and Li Ze smiled and continued, "If you take Yingzhou, I will have a bridgehead in Lulong, and this situation will reverse. Therefore, I must take Yingzhou."

Yelu Qi looked at the sketch on the ground and nodded: "It's true that this is the truth, but even if you surrender me, there are still many people like me under Zhang Shuai's command. If you recruit thousands or tens of thousands of cavalry, the problem is not too big."

Li Ze laughed, but looked at Yelu Qi but smiled without saying a word.

Yelu Qi was stunned, but immediately reacted: "I understand. What you mean is that if I defect to you, Zhang Shuai will definitely not be able to trust other Khitan cavalry, and it is even more impossible to let them form an army alone, right?"

Li Ze nodded and said, "Because Zhang Zhongwu has never believed you, if something like you happens, this distrust will intensify. So, even because of this, I will not throw you away if you have used it, because I want to use you as an example to recruit more Khitan cavalry! Even if they don't join me and make trouble outside, that's enough for Zhang Zhongwu to have a pot of food, right?"

Yelu Qi nodded heavily: "You have convinced me halfway."

"Half? Do you have any questions?" Li Ze asked.

"Tiele said, you will exchange Fei Zhong, Shi Yi and others for my tribal family. I don't believe it." Yelu Qi shook his head and said, "We are a bad life. Fei Zhong, Shi Yi and others have so precious lives. Their role they have on you is not something that we can compare with."

"You underestimate yourself too much." Li Ze shook his head and said, "This is how you look at Fei Zhong and Shi Yi, but I don't see it this way. In my eyes, you are much more useful than them."

Yelu Qi laughed: "Mr. Li, you are not sincere. Although I was very happy to hear this, I know that this is not true. Who is Fei Zhong? That was the first counselor under Zhang Shuai after Gongsun Changming left. If you hold him down, it would be equivalent to cutting off Zhang Zhongwu's arm and using him to exchange for my tribes. This empty sentence really makes me unable to convince. Mr. Li, this problem is more important than the first problem, because if I don't solve this problem, even if I want to surrender to you, my army will never follow me."

"This is a bit long. Let's talk about it for a long time!" Li Ze said: "Next, the north will have a truce and a period of peace will usher in. Do you believe it?"

"Winter is coming soon, and the snow is icy and snowy, so it is not suitable for combat, so of course there will be a truce." Yelu Qi said.

"I'm not talking about this winter, this truce period, or a year or even longer." Li Ze shook his head and corrected.

"How is this possible?" Yelu Qi retorted: "Although I cannot participate in the core secrets under Zhang Shuai's account, I also know how much preparations Zhang Shuai has made for this war. How could it end like now?"

"As the general trend is going, he has to do it." Li Ze sneered: "He fought with Gao Pian in Hedong, which seemed to have defeated Gao Pian's two armies, occupied Daizhou and captured a dangerous place like Yanmen Pass, but in Chengde, he completely failed. He had lost Yizhou and Dingzhou, which gave Zhenzhou, the heart of Chengde, and Zhaozhou, enough strategic maneuver space. He was about to throw Yingzhou, so that I could harass him at any time.

Now, he cannot re-allocate troops to deal with this change. As you said, he has been preparing for this war for several years, but because of this, he now wants to adjust his strategic direction and cannot achieve it overnight. I say that the reason for the shortest year is here. Yelutouren and the Tang army are fighting, but they are not like you, Qidan people, who can take a roll of tents and go away, wherever they go, and wherever they go. If Zhang Zhongwu dares to do this, he is seeking death."

"Even if you want to truce, what does it have to do with my tribe?" Yelu Qi asked in confusion.

"How could it be okay?" Li Ze explained: "Now we have two thousand Lu Long surrendered soldiers in our hands. In Zhenzhou, they were surrounded and surrendered by us. In Zhangwu, I think there will be more Lu Long prisoners. Have these people been cut down? Killing prisoners is bullied. It is better not to do such a thing. If you can exchange them for your tribe, wouldn't it be worth it?"

Yelu Qi straightened up suddenly, "That's how there is room for operation. If Fei Zhong and Shi Yi are added, there will be no problem, but will you let Fei Zhong Shi Yi go?"

Li Ze shrugged: "Of course I have to let go. Fei family, but the prominent clan in Youzhou, is very powerful. This person is Zhang Zhongwu's most capable person. I don't want to offend Fei family to death, nor do I want Zhang Zhongwu to re-allocate troops in the future. After I killed Fei Zhongshiyi, I stared at me and beat him to death. This is not good. He should stare at Gao Pian. As for us, we should have a lot of business."

Yelu Qi looked at Li Ze tightly. At this time, Li Ze's very young face was very different in his eyes. In those eyes, there was a slick light without reason.

"So you and Gao Pian are not real ally?" he shook his head.

"Hahaha!" Li Ze raised his head and laughed: "Of course we are allies. Look, in our most difficult time, Gao Pian sent troops to entangle Zhang Zhongwu's main force. In his most difficult time, we launched a large-scale counterattack in Dingzhou, Yizhou and Yingzhou, forcing Gao Pian to stop after taking Daizhou."

"You are just getting what you need." Yelu Qi sighed: "No wonder we Khitans can't beat you. You all have a delicate heart. It's really terrifying that you have such a plan at a young age."

"There is a saying in our Tang Dynasty that if you have ambition, don't you have a good age!" Li Ze said with a smile: "I'm saying that, Fei Zhong is very smart and cunning in your opinion. In my opinion, it's just that. In our Chengde, we fell one after another. So what if I let him go back? I will still let him fall again in the future. As for Shi Yi, ha, Lian Po is old!"

"What does it mean?" Yelu Qi was puzzled.

"Yelu Head, if you follow me in the future, you should read more books and read history." Li Ze smiled and said, "The meaning of this sentence is that Shi Yi is old and useless. I am a big group of military commanders who are better than him. Will I care about him? Use him to exchange for your tribe, this is the use of surplus value and drain his last use."

"What is surplus value?" Yelu Qi asked again.

"Uh!" Li Ze felt that he was a little excited today, or because he was a little relaxed when facing a guy like Yelu Qi, and no longer had to hide himself." This is a bit troublesome, so you can understand it slowly in the future. In short, I said that I would change your tribe members and your tribe members. This is not a difficult task for me. Not only do I want to change them, I also want Zhang Zhongwu to escort them all the way to me. If one person is missing, I will return him to another person."

Yeluqi was silent.

"How is it? Yelu Head Man, I will explain this to you, do you trust me?" Li Ze asked.

"I believe it!" Yelu Qi nodded.

"So, we have reached an agreement?" Li Ze said happily.

"There is one last thing. If the young master gives me a satisfactory answer, then I, Yelu Qi, will follow you!"

Min Rou behind Li Ze was furious and thought to herself that this barbarian was really shameless and asked one after another. But seeing Li Ze was very patient, she could only force the anger in her heart, but the flame in her eyes was almost about to spew out.
