Chapter 344 I Am Unrivaled in the Sui and Tang Dynasties
"Unfortunately, I am not from the Sima family."
After listening to the translation, Lü Xiao remained silent for a moment, then slowly raised the Wufang Tianji, its tip pointing to the ground.
If he had Sima Yi's thick skin, he could have easily agreed.
He can just turn around and go back on his word, deny everything, and who can do anything about it?
However, there is no need for that.
He shouldn't be adding fuel to the fire for a China that has already fallen into moral decay because of the Sima family, setting a precedent for such fickle and treacherous behavior.
Besides, this so-called alliance is utterly shameful to sign.
To coexist peacefully with foreign peoples?
What's the difference between Lu Xiao signing this alliance and selling out the country?
The Sui Dynasty's iron cavalry was used to expand its territory, not to sign any century-long peace treaty.
There's only one path: die or go back alive.
"The Sima family?"
Shekui Khan muttered these three words, looking completely bewildered, having no idea what Lü Xiao was talking about.
He didn't know much about the history of the Sui Dynasty, let alone Sima Yi or the Oath of Luo River.
"He is referring to the oath made at the Luo River. Sima Yi broke his promise after agreeing to it, betraying his word. Don't waste time arguing with him, just attack and kill him."
Xue Ju could see that Shekui Khan seemed to genuinely want peace, and his tone became increasingly soft, with his demands becoming lower and lower.
That won't work!
Once the Sui Dynasty and the Western Turks could coexist peacefully, wouldn't he be finished?
Xue Ju was a rebel leader, a thorn in the side of the imperial court.
When the time comes, the Western Turks will take action against him first in order to show their sincerity to the Sui Dynasty.
He had to muddy the waters, he had to get both sides fighting, the fiercer the better.
After learning the details of the oath at Luoshui, Shekui Khan's expression changed slightly, and his brows furrowed.
If Lü Xiao really agrees and then goes back on his word, there's really nothing he can do about it.
The Western Turks were thousands of miles away from the Sui Dynasty. He couldn't possibly lead his troops to the Eastern Capital to demand an explanation, could he?
At most, they would just verbally condemn him and scold him for breaking his promise, but what good would that do?
Although Yang You was suspended high in the air with a cloth stuffed in his mouth, he saw and heard the negotiation clearly.
He didn't understand why Lü Xiao was unwilling to agree.
This is clearly a win-win situation, beneficial to the Sui Dynasty, the Western Turks, and the people of both sides. Why not do it?
From then on, the northwest region of the Sui Dynasty would return to its former peace and would no longer be disturbed by foreign invaders.
At that time, the Sui Dynasty will be able to free up its resources to focus on quelling internal strife, eliminating rebel kings and their armies, restoring national strength, and bringing back its golden age.
A century later, how could the Sui Dynasty not once again send troops to conquer foreign tribes?
By then, with well-trained troops and ample supplies, wouldn't it be better to wipe out the Western Turks in one fell swoop?
More importantly, he and Lü Xiao were able to safely leave the Western Regions.
He couldn't understand why Lü Xiao would refuse.
"Take him away."
When Shekui Khan saw that the negotiations had broken down, he immediately turned and left, his face as gloomy as the bottom of a pot.
All around, footsteps echoed in unison, and the sound of swords being drawn was incessant.
The simultaneous movement of 100,000 elite troops was astonishing.
Yang You was also put down from the air and hurriedly escorted to the back, without even a chance to struggle.
"Kill him!"
Xue Rengao raised his twelve-foot-long golden spear high, swung it forward fiercely, and shouted with a ferocious expression.
"Kill him! Let him die here!"
The surrounding foreigners were burly and strong.
Holding various weapons such as spiked clubs, broadswords, and hammers, he shouted excitedly.
This is none other than the God of War of the Sui Dynasty, Prince Lü Xiao!
Today, they can not only witness history, but also participate in it personally.
"Avenge our king!"
The Wolf Lord of Hami Kingdom drew his wolf-tooth spear and shouted slogans that shook the heavens, but he did not move an inch.
He, Xue Rengao, Wang Buchao, and other fierce generals from other foreign states would not engage Lü Xiao in battle immediately.
Since Lü Xiao dared to single-handedly storm the camp of 100,000 elite troops, it shows that his martial prowess, whether in courage or skill, is extraordinary.
The fate of those rebel kings in Jianghuai is the best proof: whoever underestimates the enemy will die.
The best way to kill someone in the Western Regions is to first exhaust their strength and wear them down.
Once Lü Xiao is exhausted, they will swarm him and take his head without fail.
"Oh."
Hearing the sounds of battle around him, Lü Xiao chuckled and slowly raised the invincible Fangtian Halberd.
Enemy soldiers roared and swarmed forward, their swords and spears thrusting straight at them like a forest.
The next instant, Lü Xiao twisted his waist sharply, and the invincible Fangtian Halberd swept out with a gust of wind.
brush!
The sonic boom tore through the air, and the invincible halberd slashed horizontally like a crescent moon.
The enemy soldiers at the forefront were all cleaved in two, armor and all, blood spurting into the sky, their mangled bodies crashing to the ground.
With just one strike, the barbarian soldiers felt an immense pressure.
The initially rapid offensive also began to slow down.
"Charge! If he doesn't die today, he will surely annihilate our nation!"
"The Harry Potter Nation is a prime example, kill them!"
The general of the foreign kingdom shouted, mobilizing his soldiers.
Immediately, a second wave of soldiers was pushed out from the rear ranks.
Each person held a thick iron shield as tall as a person, the shield surface studded with sturdy iron rivets.
Layer upon layer pressed down, airtight, completely blocking the way forward.
The iron shields clashed with a deafening thud, pressing closer and closer, intent on trapping and crushing him.
A cold glint flashed in Lü Xiao's eyes, but he neither flinched nor dodged.
He channeled his strength into both arms, raising the halberd high above his shoulders.
Facing the oncoming shield wall, he let out a low shout and thrust his halberd blade out again.
boom!
The heavy halberd slammed into the center of the giant shield at the front, and the iron shield dented and shattered, scattering metal fragments everywhere.
The unstoppable momentum of the halberd continued, piercing through the entire shield and cutting through the enemy soldiers behind it who were also holding shields.
The layers upon layers of shield walls were cleaved open by this single halberd strike, leaving a bloody path.
"That's the feeling!"
Amidst the chaos of battle, Lü Xiao charged left and right, wielding his halberd with unparalleled sweeping, downward slashing, and upward thrusting.
Every move was clean and crisp, without a single superfluous action.
Wherever the halberd blade passed, enemies fell in droves, like wheat being harvested.
At this moment, he completely activated his Musou mode and once again experienced the joy of mowing down enemies.
That exhilarating feeling, that invincible thrill, is more satisfying than any fine wine or nectar.
Shekui Khan, who had already left the area, led Xue Ju, Xue Rengao, Wang Buchao, and others to a high place, where they looked down at the entire battlefield.
The men were stunned by what they saw in the camp; their hearts pounded with fear, and cold sweat streamed down their backs.
After looking at each other, their eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
"Son, can you do it?"
Xue Ju watched helplessly as Lü Xiao thrust out his halberd, piercing through both Xue Ju and his shield.
Then, with a light sweep, Lü Xiao lifted the man impaled on the halberd.
Like wielding a weapon, he smashed it at the surrounding enemies, hitting a whole group at once.
This strength is simply incredible!
This is something no human could do.
This is clearly a deity of the human world!
