The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 915 Another Deal

Seeing that Tur did not answer and became honest, Botie was relieved and said to Yinan: "Don't worry, chief. Although Gu Rentu is brave in battle, he is a simple-minded warrior. Fengzhou is 600 miles away from here. I think he set off yesterday."

"We are exhausted from the journey, let's prepare some good wine and food."

"When the time comes, get him drunk at the table, deal with him properly, and prepare some gold, silver, and jewelry. Are you still afraid that you can't fool a reckless man?"

Yinan's eyes lit up, and he looked at Bodhi with approval. Then he looked at Turbuda who was at a loss what to do, and thought to himself, this old horse still knows the way. Bodhi has been used to big scenes following Jie Li, so he is not panicky when encountering things, and he knows how to deal with them. He is not comparable to an old man from the Western Regions.

Thinking of the reward he had just given to Turbuda, Yinan said, "This is a very good plan. Come on, I will also reward Botie with 200 taels of gold and ten beauties."

"Thank you, Chief!"

Botie felt relieved. Turbuda risked his life and attracted 800,000 troops to get these rewards, but he just talked and said the reward was doubled. Sure enough, the leader of the Yinan Avenue still valued him more.

After a cup of tea, Gu Rentu was led by the soldiers of the front camp through the wide camp area to Yi Nan's tent.

"Hahaha, Chief Gurentu, what brings you here? You didn't even tell me in advance so that I could go and greet you!" Yinan walked forward and greeted him enthusiastically.

"I don't care whether you welcome me or not. We don't have any affiliation."

Gu Rentu had a cold face and started sarcastically: "But since the chief of Yi Nan has surrendered to the Right Wise King, and now the Right Wise King has arrived at the foot of Yinshan Mountain, the chief of Yi Nan has not come to meet him. Could it be that the surrender he mentioned before was just a joke?"

After Gu Rentu finished speaking, he snorted coldly and glanced at Tur behind Yinan without answering.

Seeing that Gu Rentu, a military general, was so domineering and merciless to him, Yinan's face fell.

Botie, who was standing by, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Master Gurentu, please calm down and take a seat. Let us explain in detail. This is all a misunderstanding!"

Botie hurriedly led Gu Rentu into the big tent and asked him to take the seat of honor.

While Gu Rentu was walking in front, he quietly confronted Yi Nan, signaled with his eyes, and whispered, "Don't fall into the trap, Chief. This man attacked as soon as he came. Who knows if he is not following the order of the Right Wise King to test the chief's true intentions?"

"If he figures out what we are doing, our plan will be exposed."

"No matter how provocative this person is, the leader must endure it. As long as we deal with this person, our Xueyantuo's rise will be half successful."

Well.
Yi Nan was shocked, then he reacted.

He looked at Yi Nan with appreciation, took a deep breath, forced a flattering smile on his face, and acted like he did when he was under Jie Li's command.

Gu Rentu walked unceremoniously to the seat where Yinan had been, sat down, and looked at the three people below with attentive smiles on their faces. His expression eased a little: "Great Chief Yinan, since you have surrendered to the Turkic Khanate, we will be the subjects of the Right Wise King from now on."

"Although we are equals, I am here this time to represent the Right Wise King."

"The king has come from afar, so you should go to greet him. But our army of 800,000 has already reached the Yellow River, and we still haven't seen any sign of you?"

"The Right Wise King asked me to come here to ask you if you have changed your mind?"

Yinan said quickly, "How could that be possible? It is absolutely true that I have surrendered to the Right Wise King. I have no choice but to not go and pay my respects to him!"

After saying that, Yinan looked at Botie as if asking for help.

Botie said with a flattering face, "Lord Gurentu, to be honest, our leader was going to bring the tribal generals to visit the Right Wise King three days ago. But unfortunately, the Right Wise King's southward movement was too loud, and the Tang Dynasty was increasing its troops everywhere in the interior of the country."

"Especially Lingzhou, which is separated by a river. Originally, there were only 30,000 people, but now the number has increased to 80,000."

"You also know that in order to achieve the grand plan of the Right Wise King to attack the Tang Dynasty, our leader has to disguise himself as a Tang Dynasty official to paralyze the Tang army. Two days ago, he was summoned by the Tang Dynasty's Lingzhou Grand Commander, the King of Rencheng, Li Daozon, to discuss defense matters."

"In order to understand the deployment of the Tang army in Lingzhou, our leader neglected to greet the Right Wise King. Please forgive me, Master Gu."

Bote was indeed a "veteran of two dynasties". He was quite quick-witted and thought of an excuse in a short time. His words were well-reasoned and even Gu Rentu could not find any flaws in them.

"Well, that's it."

Gu Rentu's expression eased, and he bowed to Yi Nan and said, "With the war imminent, of course we must focus on conquering the Tang Dynasty. The chief has done a good job. If the Right Wise King knew the details, he would not blame the chief for this."

"But the Yi Nan chief should have sent someone to inform them, and there wouldn't be any misunderstandings. I was impulsive just now, and I apologize to the chief here."

"No, it's just that the military situation is too urgent."

Yi Nan also pretended to be generous and said with a smile: "I also forgot that I should have sent someone to explain in advance. To be honest with you, General Gu, I have prepared a large amount of food and supplies to entertain the Right Wise King. I would have sent it in advance if I had known."

"Oh, I didn't expect that Chief Yi Nan is so loyal to the Right Wise King." Gu Rentu's eyes lit up, and he said, "In this case, I can't let the Chief down. I will take these supplies back when I go back later. To be honest with you, my army has been on the expedition for a long time and has spent a lot of money. At present, the logistics of the army are really in short supply."

"With the addition of the Great Chief, the Right Wise King will surely be more appreciative of the Great Chief's loyalty!"

Well.
Yinan's smile froze on his face, and he wanted to slap himself in the face. Just deal with it and be done with it. Why bother bringing up other things?

He got the advantage and still acted ungratefully. Now he has to pay a large amount of food and fodder for him.

Yinan looked at Gu Rentu in front of him with a friendly smile on his face, looking at him expectantly. The situation became awkward for a moment and he didn't know what to say.

But Botie cleverly replied, "Of course, of course. It was already rude not to welcome the army. As half the host, I, Xueyantuo, should receive them. These supplies have been prepared long ago."

"Even if General Gu doesn't come, we will set out today to deliver it to the Right Wise King."

With Bote's smooth response, Gu Rentu could not find any fault with it. Afterwards, a grand luncheon was held in the big tent. With the flattery of Yi Nan and many generals, the group drank until they were drunk, and both the guests and the hosts had a great time.

"Great leader, you are indeed a straightforward person."

Before leaving, holding Yinan's hand, Gu Rentu looked at the horse team that came empty-handed, and now was driving dozens of carriages filled with various supplies, while his trusted men were holding two small boxes filled with gold and silver. He nodded with satisfaction.

He said enthusiastically: "From now on, we are brothers."

"Haha, of course, we will all serve as generals under the Right Wise King in the future. Although I am a few years older than you, I am not as familiar with your temper as you are. If there is anything I have not done well, I hope you will say a few good words to the Right Wise King."

"The war is about to begin, and I am busy in Lingzhou, so I will not go to visit the Right Wise King."

Seeing another batch of supplies being sent out, Yinan felt so heartbroken that he seemed to be bleeding, but he had already performed eighty-eight bows, and only this last one was left.

Yi Nan did not dare to be careless. At this last moment, he suppressed his anger, forced a smile and continued, "Then we have a deal. Three days later, the Right Wise King's army will first attack Fengzhou."

"We will force the Tang Dynasty to withdraw its troops from the central part of Guannei Road to the Yellow River. Then we will take advantage of the situation and attack Lingzhou. Then we will attack the Tang army from behind and break through the Tang Dynasty's Yellow River defense line with the help of both inside and outside forces."

'belch'

Gu Rentu burped drunkenly and patted his chest: "Brother Yi Nan, don't worry. Our army doesn't have much food and grass. We don't have that much time to waste with the Tang army. Your Majesty is still hoping to capture Fengzhou and use the spoils to replenish the military supplies?"

"It's settled then. Thank you, Brother Yinan, for your hospitality. I will go back and report now."

Watching Gurentu's convoy slowly leaving, Yinan's smiling face suddenly turned cold as water, his eyes were filled with fierce murderous intent, and his hands were clenched into fists. This Right Wise King had robbed him of the Irtysh River Valley.

He killed his own vanguard general Gu She, and captured more than 100,000 of his own soldiers and refused to release them.

This time he extorted some supplies from me and owed Xueyantuo a new debt?

Yi Nan gnashed his teeth and said, "Humph, if it wasn't for the overall situation, I would have hacked this official into pieces in the tent just now!"

"Captain, no matter what, we have managed to deal with the Right Wise King."

Seeing that Yinan was angry, Turbuda did not dare to step forward to answer. Botie, on the other hand, did not care and comforted him, "As long as the Turks and the Tang Dynasty fight, they will have no choice but to continue. In the end, both sides will invest more and more, and both will suffer in the end."

"For the sake of the overall situation, please be patient for a while!"

"Oh, I know everything you said."

Yinan shook his head slowly: "I feel bad about these supplies. You know, our expenses are also very tight. With 300,000 troops away from the grassland, our military supplies are only enough for a month. Now that we have given them a part of it, the rest can only last for more than 20 days."

"Great leader, you have to sacrifice to gain. What we lost in the past was only saved by the Right Wise King. When you defeat the Right Wise King and become the overlord of the grassland, the new Great Khan, the entire grassland and even the world will belong to us Xueyantuo. Do you still worry about these supplies?"

Yi Nan is an ambitious man with a long-term vision. He is also a gambler who believes that big investments will bring big returns. He nodded silently and said, "Yes, the Turkic army is two or three times more than ours, and their logistics are also very tight."

"Otherwise, wouldn't Gu Rentu have used this excuse to blackmail us?"

"With so many people, the Right Wise King cannot afford to delay. I estimate that he will start a tentative attack in the next two days."

"Send more spies to keep an eye on the front lines and report military intelligence at any time."

Botie quickly responded: "Yes, Chief."
