Chapter 297 King of Nanyuan, Princess Tianshou

The outside must be safe first!

By the same token, if one wants to unify the Nine Provinces and avoid being caught in a multi-front war, one must also negotiate with neighboring countries and reach a temporary consensus on non-aggression.

Fortunately, the Liao Kingdom is now also caught up in the war and unable to move south.

There is no need to deploy heavy defenses along the vast northern border.

Only Xixia was very active, but after conquering the Zhe clan, they were able to resist without wasting too many soldiers in the barren land of the northwest.

At Bazhou on the border between Wei and Liao, Cao Jie met with Yelu Dezhong, the King of Liaonanyuan, on the banks of Baigou River.

It has to be said that every King of the South Court has his own skills.

In the fourth year of Taipingxingguo in the early Song Dynasty, Song and Liao fought fiercely at Gaoliang River.

At that time, Yelu Xiu'ge, the King of the Southern Court of the Liao Kingdom, led 9,000 cavalrymen to defeat the 100,000-strong Song army. Emperor Lu Zong was shot by two arrows and fled in a donkey cart across the Gaoliang River, which saved him from being captured.

Later, there was another King of the Southern Courtyard named Xiao Feng, no need to go into details.

The current King of Nanyuan, as the brother of the Liao emperor, Yelu Dezhong is really quite capable.

He was the Sun Star General among the Eleven Generals of the Liao Kingdom.

In the original novel, he defeated Lu Junyi in Yutian County, but was defeated by Song Jiang and retreated to Yanjing. Later, he followed Wu Yanguang to lead the army to set up the Taiyi Hun Tian Xiang Formation, and became the main general of the Sun Star, defeating the Song army in succession. Later, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman taught Song Jiang how to break the formation, and he broke through the formation and fought against Lu Zhishen, but was eventually killed by Wu Song.

Although he was defeated and died, such strength was indeed rare in an era when the Song, Liao and Western Xia dynasties were competing with each other for supremacy.

"King of the South Court!"

"King Wei!"

On a mountain beside the Baigou River, the two kings climbed up and looked out into the distance.

At the foot of the mountain, on both sides of the river, the Wei and Liao armies were deployed in a mighty formation.

Showing off muscles and force are the key to the outcome of this peace talk.

After all, we can't fight with real swords and guns!

I saw the Liao Kingdom on the north bank: the barbarian soldiers were strong, with black faces, blue eyes and yellow beards; the horses were roaring, with broad shoulders, steel waists and iron feet. They used sheep-horn bows to collect sand willow arrows, and tiger-skin robes were lined with narrow carved saddles. They were born in the frontier, and grew up to be able to pull hard bows; they were from the north, and were raised to be able to ride inferior horses.

On the south bank, on the side of the Wei State: the red sun shines through the sky, and the haze is blocked. Spears and halberds are lined up on both sides. The war drums are turning the sea and the river upside down, and the iron cavalry are chasing the wind and rolling over the land. The shadows of the four-dividing and five-directional flags are raised, and the gates of the nine-palace and eight-diagram formation are opened.

"Your Majesty, please!" Cao Jie didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

"Very good, King Wei, please see how mighty our Liao warriors are."

The King of the Southern Courtyard waved his arm, and his command flag unfurled.

The Liao army position quickly began to move.

Behind Cao Jie, Zhu Wu stared intently and clasped his fists, saying, "Replying to King Wei, the formation set up by the Liao people is the Five Tigers Backer Formation, which is not surprising."

The King of the South Court narrowed his eyes.

Zhu Wu was seen waving the flag, circling left and right, and directing the Wei army to form a battle formation.

The King of the Southern Court looked at it and did not recognize it, so he asked, "What kind of formation is this?"

Cao Jie smiled and said, "This is the formation of Kun transforming into Peng."

"What does it mean that Kun turns into Peng?"

Cao Jie raised his voice and said, "There is a fish in the North Sea named Kun, which can transform into a big roc and fly 90,000 miles. This formation looks like a small formation from a distance, but when it attacks, it will turn into a big formation, so it is called Kun turning into roc. It is enough to break your Five Tigers Backer Formation! My king, please change the formation!"

Cao Jie really wanted to see the Hun Tian Formation right now.

The King of the Southern Court turned his head and looked at the staff behind him, but all of them had their heads buried and did not dare to look up.

Therefore, Yelu Dezhong did not dwell on this battle formation and said with a smile: "The battle formation method can only be verified with real swords and guns. I heard that the King of Wei has 108 generals under his command, and I also have 28 generals. How about giving them a fight to help our two countries negotiate peace?"

"That's exactly what I want!" Cao Jie ordered, and "Arrowless" Zhang Qing took the lead.

What kind of person is Zhang Qing? He could hit the generals with flying stones and never missed. Hu Yanzhuo, Lu Zhishen, Dong Ping, Guan Sheng, Lei Heng and Suo Chao were all hit on the head and bleeding by him.

Now it is really suitable for fighting generals.

After all, if other powerful generals were to take action and accidentally blow up the opponent's head, it would be detrimental to the peace talks.

In this battle, he defeated nine generals in a row without missing a single shot.

Yelu Dezhong's eyes twitched as he watched.

The flying stones did not cause much damage, but were extremely insulting.

"My king, your army is very powerful. I think we should stop fighting." If we fight again, I'm afraid you will get angry and embarrassed!

"King Wei's subordinates are indeed mostly powerful people, but the generals from the Liao Dynasty today are just juniors. How about we fight again here tomorrow?"

Cao Jie didn't care. If he wasn't about to take over the Central Plains and had no power to go north, who would play house with you?

Then he said with a smile: "If your Majesty is not satisfied, then tomorrow you and I will come to watch the warrior show in front of you."

On the second day, the banks of the Baigou River were bright and sparkling with spring scenery.

But Cao Jie met an acquaintance.

That wave of female soldiers were all wearing silver flowered hats, silver chain mail, white robes and white tassels, riding white flags and white horses, and holding silver swords and spears. They surrounded a female general.

The golden phoenix hairpins are inserted into the black hair, the red headband is covered with pearls and jade, the cloud shoulders are cleverly matched with the brocade skirt, and the embroidered jacket is deeply covered with silver armor. The small flower boots are stable with golden stirrups, and the jade whip is light with green sleeves. She wields a seven-star sword and rides a white horse with silver mane.

"It's you!"

The female general raised her eyebrows, it was none other than the "Princess Tianshou" Daribo.

"Princess, how are you?" Cao Jie asked with a smile.

Things are different now. How can we take a small "Moon" seriously?

"Little thief, return my precious Moonlight King Buddha to me!"

In an instant, Daribo raised the Seven-Star Sword and shot over in a flash.

Cao Jie did not move at all, but swung the golden mace hanging at his waist forward. There was a loud bang, and Daribo screamed. His body swayed and he could not sit steadily, and was about to fall off the white horse.

The Seven-Star Sword seemed to have lost control and fell to the ground.

The King of the Southern Courtyard was horrified and shouted, "Princess Tianshou, why are you so rude?"

The Liao Dynasty is now on the verge of collapse. If he angers the King of Wei and causes the Wei army to march north, how will he respond?

Cao Jie needs peace talks, and his Southern Court King Yelu Dezhong needs peace talks even more!

Sure enough, Liu Tang, Ruan Xiaoqi, Chao Gai and others behind Cao Jie were all furious. They drew their swords and faced each other, and a fight was about to break out.

Daribo resisted the dizziness, held the reins firmly, and waited for only a few breaths before dismounting weakly.

"Why don't you apologize to the King of Wei?"

Daribo's face turned red and he gritted his teeth to hold on.

Cao Jie waved his hand to stop his brothers and said with a smile: "A few years ago, there was a slight misunderstanding with Princess Tianshou. Today, we happened to meet. This Treasure Moonlight King Buddha should be returned to its original owner!"

Anyway, when my army marches north, not only the secret book, but even you will be mine.

Looking at the secret book of the natal visualization method handed to her, Daribo reached out and snatched it. Perhaps because she was too close, she was suddenly startled and said in horror:
"How...how did you become the Treasure Moonlight King Buddha?"

Moreover, he not only succeeded in cultivation, but also reached an extremely high realm, a realm far higher than hers. For a moment, her heart was beating wildly, and the power of the moonlight in her body was moved by Cao Jie, rising and falling, unable to extricate herself...
