However, Cheng Mingzhen, the Lord of the fleet, was full of joy. If his eyes were not thick, Zhao would have to pay at least a dozen warships and 500 fewer foot soldiers to burn down the floating city in the river, but only seven warships sank and no one was killed or injured.
Cheng Mingzhen said thickly, "I didn’t expect this kerosene bomb to be so powerful."
Thick looked back at Cheng Mingzhen indifferent tunnel "General Cheng, I … how many times have I said that this is not the oil drum in the ship, but the black oil, which is an important material of the oil bomb. When the black oil meets the fire, it will burn water and pour it out, and I found that it is not a big deal if the seal is easy to explode when it meets the fire."
Cheng Mingzhen knows that thick is a very real person, especially likes to buckle words and talk with others at the same time, and often stutters. Whether it is Da Sui or Da Zhao officialdom, it is an official with great personality.
Cheng Mingzhen pointed to a burning oil trail in the floating river and asked, "How is this black oil worse than ordinary oil? It not only looks very sticky, but also has a pungent smell. What is it that I have never seen before?"
"This black oil is not much produced in the Central Plains of China. It is very common in the western regions. Locals use it instead of firewood to cook. It is a foresight to use it as a weapon and develop it into a kerosene bomb. In those days, the Yishui River was greatly broken in Xia Jun, Dou Jiande."
Cheng Mingzhen’s foot soldiers listened and asked curiously, "Is this black oil edible?"
Thick listened to reveal a very despised expression way "do you want to eat black oil crazy? Eating this thing is like burning and dying in a day. "
The foot soldier was startled and stopped talking.
Everyone’s eyes turned back to the river. Now the floating city of Tang Jun is in a sea of fire, and even the pontoon bridge is burning. It is conceivable that Tang Jun not only destroyed the pontoon bridge, but also was extremely frustrated.
Cheng Mingzhen said, "The morale of Tang Jun’s foot soldiers has dropped, and I was just about to take this opportunity to cheer up."
Cheng Mingzhen made the Zhao fleet attack Zhongtan City in the river and wanted to pull it out. However, Huang Junhan, the general of Tang Jun in Zhongtan City, guarded the city and the resistance was very fierce. Once again, black oil was used to burn the city, but this time it didn’t have much effect.
The two armies fought fiercely in the dark, and Tang Jun in Zhongtan City suffered heavy casualties, but in the end, Zhao held the city. Although this battle prevented Tang Jun from crossing the river, it did not work. The two armies re-entered the Yellow River into a confrontation.
The grassland in Huangshui North always looks so vast and soft. The meadow is spread to the end of the line of sight. For herders, it is the closest place to Tengger. The sky is so blue, and it seems that you can hold it and float across the white clouds with your hand stretched out.
On the east side of the prairie goshawk, the king of Turkey, the little Khan, is sweating all over the grassland, and herds of cattle and sheep are singing Turkic ballads and drifting far away.
Horseshoe rolling in the south of the grassland, a line of riders wearing merchant clothes came here. It turned out that it was a guest of the State of Zhao who visited Tuli Khan Hall today. A Turkic rider in his hand saw that he was responsible for guarding the Turkic soldiers, so he backed off and let go.
A group of people came to a tent on Tully Golden Tent Road. Several Turks were killing a healthy cow full of black hair, but they saw a Turk dragging the neck of the cow with a rope. Another big Turk boy of eleven or twelve years old swooped in front of the healthy cow with a long forearm knife. The cow screamed and fell to the ground, while the child struggled to catch the horn and put the blood in his neck into a small bucket beside him.
This is an ordinary scene in the grassland. The children seem to be very happy in their eyes, but when they see this scene, all the Han people are stunned. How dare the boy kill a healthy cow?
Just then, the distant horseshoe remembered that Khan was riding a horse to meet the guests from Zhao. As soon as he met, he spread out his hands and the prairie people smiled warmly and said, "Welcome you and my distant guests!"
Tu Li is the ugly middle-aged man in a group of people who said
But when I saw this man and Tully embracing each other, I said with a smile,’ Tully Khan, don’t be ill.’
Tu Li smiled and patted the man on the shoulder and said,’ Guo Duhu is fat. It seems that grassland cattle and sheep are very to your taste.’
The man smiled and said,’ Khan laughed. We Han people are still used to plugging this sandstorm beyond the Great Wall, and it will be even worse in winter. I still hope that I can finish my errand and return to Beijing as soon as possible without suffering here.’
This man is Guo Xiaoke, the great protector of the Songmo capital of Zhao Guo. Now he is leading an army of 20,000 Songmo capital to be stationed in a place not far from Tuli Khan Hall.
Tu Li listened to ha ha a smile, but Tu Li is so shrewd that it is not easy to judge whether he believes Guo Xiaoke’s words.
"Come with me!"
In front of the big gold tent, the wolf’s head is flying high, and his big gold tent feast is held for Guo Xiaoke and them.
There are many rules to be observed by the hosts and guests, but the hosts and guests are not as heroic as they thought. Otherwise, there is something wrong with those hospitable Turks, who will immediately turn their faces and draw out their swords.
But now the two sides are obviously very harmonious, and Tully has begun to eat a lot. He is cutting a bloody intestine with a sharp knife.
After cutting a lot, Tu Li directly stuffed the sausage into the mouth regardless of the steaming. Tu Li took a few bites and swallowed his face to show his satisfaction. After that, Guo Xiaoke said,’ Guo Jiangjun, try the sausage cooked by my chef. This is the first-class delicious food in the grassland.’
Guo Xiaoke smiled and took a reserved sip of goat milk tea.’ Thank you Khan, but I’m still not used to the smell in this narrow intestine.’
If others dare to refuse Tu Li’s kindness, Tu Li will be furious, but Guo Xiaoke is obviously an equal guest of Tu Li now. Instead, he makes Tu Li’s Turks laugh.
Tu, with a bloody knife, said,’ Guo Jiangjun, you really don’t have the luck to eat delicious food. This whole day is half delicious.’
Guo Xiaoke cut a piece of mutton and put it in his mouth.’ Khan laughed.’
Tu, ha ha a smile handkerchief wiped her hands (a diversion’ Guo Jiangjun your position south of the war is smooth? ‘
Guo Xiaoke said, "It’s okay. I heard that Jiangdu was hit not long ago, and I should be able to return to Youjing triumphantly in a month or two."
The left and right Turks all showed amazing expressions. Where is Jiangdu? The Turks obviously heard about it.
Tu Li said, "When I first saw your country, I knew it was not a pool thing. It seems that it is only a matter of time before Zhao defeated Li Tang to unify the Central Plains, and we Turks are very fond of such a strong and powerful permanent friend. Let me propose a toast to you. I hope our friendship will never change."
Guo Xiaoke also raised his glass and said, "We have been close to Khan for a long time. Although we have lost our friendship before, we also know that Khan is forced to do so."
Tu Li nodded. "One time we went to war was because Luo Khan ordered Khan to do something, but fortunately, the wolf king of the grassland in Luo has few days to live now, but after our long-term peace in Turkic Zhao, I hope that Zhao can support me and help me win the Turkic throne."
When I heard Tully say this, the Turks and Guo Xiaoke’s accompanying Chinese messengers stopped eating and their eyes were fixed on Guo Xiaoke.
Guo Xiaoke is still very calm, let go of his knife and tunnel faintly. "Dear Khan, our big Zhao is very helpful, but Khan, you have to show your sincerity."
Tu Li Khan primly said, "I, Shi Nashi, am willing to swear to Tengger that I will never be blamed for the sudden loss of my life."
Guo Xiaoke looked at Tully and said, "Khan, I am a materialistic person. I swear that this thing is like sand in the desert and disappears with the wind. I don’t want Khan’s sincerity."
Tu Li Khan said, "I can let my three sons go to the prince of Zhao in Youjing. It’s time to rest assured."
Aside from the angel of Zhao, it was all solemn and sudden. Of course, it was very sincere to say so, but Guo Xiaoke did not respond and his face was still so calm.

Tu Li see Guo Xiaoke didn’t respond to a fluctuation in my heart.
Others don’t know the specific situation, but Tu Li himself has actually put all his possessions on this gamble.
You know, the succession of Turkic Khan has always been very chaotic. The third Khan has a wooden pole, and sometimes his father dies and sometimes his brother dies. If you are of Ashina descent, you are qualified to inherit the Khan’s position.
Although there is no specific constitution, the Turks still have a set of established rules, such as they adopt the enfeoffment system to seal an heir to the east, which is equivalent to the king of the Central Plains
When Khan was young at first, he asked his younger brother to help him. After Luo died, he gave Khan his place. Before he died, Khan made himself a little Khan.
However, in the present place, Luo’s younger brother, Uncle Tully, set up Ashina DuDu, but he didn’t agree that he hoped to inherit the Turkic Khan and then hand it over to Tully again and again.
And now that I’m grown up, I’m full of wings. Where do I want to be
Ashina combined the association rate of Tully’s brothers and sisters to add Luo Khan to his own camp. His younger brother and nephew are inclined to his younger brother. Most Turkic leaders are supporting Tully’s uncle.
However, Tully is not unprepared for the depression between Luo and Er. Although he supports his father’s decision to meet Luo Khan, Ashina Toure, a child, has secretly expressed his support for himself.
Another Turkic nobleman, Ashina Smo, also expressed his support for himself. The mother of Ashina Smo is a Sogdian with a pair of lux eyes instead of the unique glazed eyes of Turkic Ashina.
Therefore, Ashina Smo has always been rejected by the Turkic nobles, and it is better to seize the opportunity than to tie him to his chariot.
But Tu Li also knew that his power was inferior to that of supporting his uncle, so he found Zhao and asked Li Chongjiu to support himself.
For Tully, Lee Chong-jiu once shot his father, Shi Bi Khan, but for Tully, it is nothing if he can achieve his goal.
It can be said that if Zhao doesn’t support him, he can bow to Chu Luo. If Zhao supports him, he can defeat Chu Luo with the help of Zhao’s 50,000 or 60,000 troops beyond the Great Wall, clear up the opposition of the Turkic Ministry, and wait for his Turkic Khan to settle down. Then it will be the time for Zhao to turn against Li Chongjiu and avenge his father.
Tuli never admitted that there was anything wrong with what he did. It is difficult for the Turkic Khan Han people to have peace, even if Li Chongjiu helped himself. For the Han people, they should also be white Turks, and even the most powerful emperor of the Han people, Emperor Wudi, did not completely levy the Huns. Li Chongjiu should have this self-knowledge
But helping yourself can help the Han people get ten years of peace, which is enough for the Han people.
Guo Huhu I have come up with our greatest sincerity. What do you mean now? ‘
Tu Li’s eyes were firmly fixed on Guo Xiaoke.
Guo Xiaoke is still unhurried. He looks at Tully and says,’ Dear Tully Khan, please let me ask you a question before I answer.’
Please say it! Tu, eyes narrowed.
Guo Xiaoke said,’ Dare to ask Khan, even if I support you, how sure is it that you can succeed in winning Khan? ‘
So many departments listened to the sudden profit and said,’ I’m 50% sure that I want your country to nod to the big Zhao Xiongshi grassland cavalry. If I can’t take a step back, they won’t be able to levy my sudden profit because I have the most brave and loyal soldiers in the grassland.’
Listening to Tully, the Turkish generals all shouted loudly to express their loyalty to Tully.
Guo Xiaoke smiled and said,’ Khan said that there is a 50% chance of failure. Even if we can fight on both sides of Katsumi and the people are displaced beyond the Great Wall, it is not what we want to see.’
