During the banquets for several days, Shibi Khan was drunk. At the banquet, Shibi Khan ate seafood produced in the Oriental Sea, including various pickled sea fish, big crabs, and dishes made from various cooking methods, which really made people feast.

Not to mention those strong wines, which make people unforgettable after drinking them, and they drink one cup after another, so that they get drunk.

Sibi Khan, who was lying on the couch, was thinking about all the things that had happened over the past few days, and couldn't help feeling sad and angry. His originally dizzy head became even more dizzy.

When the Emperor of Zhou came to Wuchuan, he actually came to demonstrate to the Khanate (Eastern Turks). At first, Bi Khan knew this very clearly, but he could only pretend that he could not see it. He greeted him with a smile every day, but felt very frustrated in his heart.

The border troops of Zhou had already crossed the Yinshan Mountains and built cities in the so-called "six towns old places" and deployed defenses. It goes without saying who the other party was defending.

The Khitan and Kumoxi tribes in the eastern Khanate had followed the orders of the Khanate. In recent years, they had already turned to the south and followed the command of Zhou. The Zhou caravan continued to penetrate the grassland and made private friendships with the tribes under the guise of doing business. Shibi Khan could guess what the idea was before.

The border fortress of Zhou State continued to advance to the grassland, and then with the fortress as the center, the so-called "pastoral areas" were designated. The herders of Zhou State could grazed here, but if the tribes in the Turkic country wanted to grazed in these places, they had to pay taxes, called "management fees".

All signs show that the Zhou State had bad intentions against the Khanate and had been preparing for the past few years, that is, he had to sharpen his knife before killing the sheep.

The most important point is that the Zhou State operates the so-called "Hetao region" and stations more and more troops. In a few years, it will be amazing.

Just like now, Shibi Khan was lying on the couch, and there was a man standing by the couch with a sharp knife in his hand. As long as he wanted to stab the knife, he could stab him in the vital part of his body, but he could only watch him stand by the couch with no power to stop him.

Now, in the past few days in Wuchuan, the Emperor of Zhou opened his eyes and discussed state affairs with him, including the border cities of the two countries, but in fact, this was not a negotiation, but a notification.

The other party just told him what agreement the two countries would make next, and had never really considered the Khanate's wishes.

The more Shibi Khan thought about this, the more angry he became.

The other party said that he would open a few border trade ports and that he would directly decide which tribes to participate in border trade. He never considered his own opinions at all. Shibi Khan felt that the Emperor of Zhou was so unconcealed and bought the hearts of Turkic nobles in front of him, which was simply outrageous.

This feeling is very bad. Shibi Khan feels that he is a descendant of the dignified Ashina clan. The Khan of the Khanate ends up in such a state, but he still has to laugh at him. It is really humiliating.

He was irritated, but he could not speak out, so he could only drink to drown his sorrows. The more he drank, the more he was drunk, and he didn't dare to speak freely. He could only return to his tent and sighed worriedly.

Zhou State was very strong. At first, Bi Khan knew that the Zhou army had sharp weapons. He followed his father to Jinyang and Chang'an and witnessed the various "powers" of Zhou State, especially the magical steamship and crane, which was simply not a human being.

It was precisely with the terrible steamships and cranes that the Zhou State had to transport personnel and materials on a large scale, firmly occupying the Hetao region, a territory under the Khanate, which was once ruled by the Khanate, and extending the border northward to the northern foot of the Yinshan Mountains.

If this continues, the other party will sooner or later reach into the grassland. What should he do then?

After years of cultivation and rest, the strength of the Khanate was restored. At this time, Shibi Khan could actually mobilize more than 100,000 cavalry to fight, but facing the stronger Zhou State, he did not have the confidence to win the confrontation.

The cavalry of the Khanate had to break into the territory of Zhou and approach important places such as Bingzhou Jinyang, and first broke through the Yinshan defense line. However, as far as Shibi Khan knew, the Yinshan defense line of Zhou was very cautious and it was difficult for him to break through from a certain area in a short period of time. The counterattack of the Zhou army would come later.

At that time, if you cannot attack and retreat, you will cut off the border market. In a dilemma, the nobles in the country will probably take the opportunity to cause trouble. Then the Zhou Kingdom will take advantage of the situation and robbery again...

Not to mention that the Khans in the western Khanate (Western Turkic) are also ready to move, and the other party doesn't mind taking advantage of the situation to rob.

The more Shibi Khan thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He always felt uncomfortable when he tossed and turned around on the couch, so he simply sat up and stared at the candle in a daze.

After a while, his confidant Shi Shuhu and Hu were all looking for a visit outside. Shibi Khan saw that the planner was coming, and he was inspired and let him enter the account.

Shi Shu Hu Xi was Shibi Khan's confidant. Now he presided over the trade with Zhou State. This is the biggest source of wealth in Shibi Khan's hands and will not easily be employed by others. This shows how high Shi Shu Hu Xi's status is.

Shi Shuhu Huxi accompanied Shibi Khan to the banquet these days. He knew that Khan had drunk a lot of wine. Now he saw that his face was not very good, and he saw that there was no one else in the tent, and asked in a low voice: "Khan is worried, don't drink too much, so he makes him lose his words after drinking."

In this sentence, Shibi Khan's worries were in his heart, and he sighed: "I know, I know..."

Shi Shuhu Hu was the leader of Shibi Khan. He knew what Khan was worried about. Now he was in Zhouying, and he was full of ears and ears, so it was difficult for the monarch and ministers to discuss anything. However, in order to prevent Khan from being depressed and saying something after drinking, he decided to persuade him appropriately:

"Khan, do you have any opinions when I see the Prince of Zhou these days?"

"Hmm? Prince Zhou?"

Shibi Khan recalled the appearance of the Crown Prince Yuwen Weicheng of Zhou, and felt that the young Crown Prince of Zhou was decent and looked good.

Seeing Shibi Khan pondering, Shi Shuhu Hu Xi said, "I think this prince will be a good heir."

When he saw Shibi Khan nodding, he said, "So Khan, how do you think the Emperor of Zhou looks like?"

"Young and R&F have a good look, and you can't tell any pathological symptoms..."

After Shibi Khan finished speaking, he looked at Shi Shuhu with some confusion: "What does this mean?"

"Khan, the Emperor of Zhou is young and strong, and it seems that he can live for a long time. The prince is already an adult and his wings are getting richer..."

As he spoke, Shi Shu and Hu Xi's voice became smaller: "The emperor has been in power for a long time, and the prince either endured hard for many years... or could not wait... Who knows if this kind of thing will happen?"

Shibi Khan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he grabbed Shi Shuhu Huxi's hand: "You mean..."

"What I mean is to wait for the changes first. Maybe if you wait a few years, there may not be any changes in the Zhou country."

Shi Shuhu and Hu Xi said this, for fear that Shi Bi Khan would not be able to figure it out, and explained: "The Emperor of Zhou was young and strong. Since he succeeded to the throne, he has made great efforts to fight abroad for years. He is an ambitious person..."

"He is so ambitious, so he naturally has high requirements for the crown prince. The prince's performance is poor and he is not satisfied, but the prince's performance is too good, and he will not be satisfied, because there is a saying in the Central Plains that the heroic master guesses more."

"If you are the crown prince of such an emperor, the crown prince will be very frustrated. He is trembling all day long, and many younger brothers are waiting to rise to power. Maybe one day the father and son will turn against each other and meet each other, which will be wonderful..."

After listening to Shi Shuhu and Huxi's analysis, Shibi Khan stretched his eyebrows and his expression improved a lot: "Yes, you're right!"

"So, please relax and let it go for a few years."

"well!"

Shibi Khan stood up and walked back and forth in the tent. In the past few days, he went to the banquet. Seeing that the Emperor of Zhou was young and strong, the prince looked like a good heir, he couldn't help but feel worried about the future of the Khanate.

Because according to the development momentum of Zhou State, if two generations of emperors were wise monarchs, the Khanate would be really over.

But if you think from the other hand, the Emperor of Zhou was young and strong and might live for many years, which is not a good thing for the prince who is also becoming an adult.

The Emperor of Zhou had many sons, which was a threat to the prince. The longer the time was delayed, the greater the threat to the position of the prince. If one day the old guy was upset and wanted to change the crown prince, how could the "old prince" feel?
