Chapter 302: The Great Problem of the Han Court
The new Uighur prime minister, Babel, followed the Han army's envoy Toshu all the way to Yizhou, drove many cattle and sheep as gifts, and went out of the city to visit the sick and plant.
He was overjoyed to get sick, raised his account to receive him, received a gift, discussed things for a while, and saw that he was looking at the entrusting technique, so he withdrew the others and left only the entrusting technique.
"General, this Babel is not only a famous sage in Gaochang, but also the new prime minister of the Uighurs, and the old man of Tuoshu. This time, I came to help us get through this difficult time. β
He sighed, glanced at Toshu, and asked, "Have you told him everything we have?" β
Tuoshu said: "I showed a little wind, but I didn't say it all." β
He asked, "Can this man be trusted?" β
"He's willing to do business with us. β
When he heard the word business, he smiled and asked, "What does he want?" β
Tuoshu said: "Babel has a lot of power in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, and now he has borrowed the power of our Han army, he has the intention to make the business bigger, and hopes that the general can protect his caravan, leading to the Central Plains in the east and the desert in the north." In addition, he also hoped that the general would guarantee that he would get the goods of the Central Plains, such as spices from the South Seas, glaze from southern Liaoning, silk from the Han region, and so on. β
He said, "What about him? What can be given to us? β
"As long as we can support him, he can help us explore the road from Lanzhou in the east and to Huazhuzimo in the west, and if we can win the battle all the time, he will continue to prepare military rations for us." β
He smiled and said, "This is a matter of mutual benefit!" Okay, I'm all right! β
Tuoshu said: "Your Majesty, Yang Xiang and Xiao Shuai are ...... there."
"There won't be a problem!" "Your Majesty, the Sixth General, and the Seventh General don't know how they do things. If this thing is done, he will be the hero of my great man! Not to mention the Uighurs, it is not impossible to become the great administrative officer of the entire Western Regions in the future! He glanced at Tuoshu, and said: "Your credit is not small, this important task of transportation between the Western Regions and the central center will be entrusted to you in the future!" β
Toshu knelt down to thank him and went to bring Babel in. He was appeased by the sick and asked him what he should do with Bilgor.
Babel listened to the illness and asked how to deal with Bileco instead of asking about the canonization, and after a glance at Tossho, he knew that Toshua had already been laid down and that he had gained initial trust, so he said: "Beregor is not a hero, but he is not completely mediocre. The general has come from thousands of miles away, but in fact he does not dare to trust the general -- he does not dare to trust the general's intentions, but also dare not trust the general's military strength. So he sent me this time, ostensibly out of proportion, but in fact it wasn't. I expected him to secretly dispatch troops in case something unexpected happened. He used me, in fact, because I had nothing to do with him, and if I didn't negotiate this time and was killed by the general, it would be no loss for him. And he can also take the opportunity to call on the Vultures to resist the general. β
He said, "In this way, he is also a powerful person. β
"Awesome, I can't talk about it." Babel said: "But he is in such a position, with Western Xia to the east, Naiman and Khitan to the north, and Tibet to the southβall of them are difficult lords to mess with, and if he had not had the ability to deal with them, he would not have survived today." But he is not a person who dares to resist the general, as long as the general does not push him too much, he should not mess around. β
He asked, "Then what conditions should I offer for him to accept?" β
Babel said: "He had already declared himself a vassal to the Khitan before, and he also sent his son over as a hostage. Although he has the heart to deal with it at both ends, he is also afraid that Yelu Dashi will be angry, and he is afraid that Dahan will not be able to help him deal with Yelu Dashi, then he will be in trouble. So he had a lot of concerns about the etiquette of becoming a vassal. If the general can agree to make the etiquette more vague and allow him to prevaricate with the Khitans, then things will be much easier for him and us. β
He said with a sick heart: "I came west this time, I didn't expect to be able to completely subdue the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, as long as I can stabilize my position, I will be overlooked." He nodded in agreement and said, "However, after we defeat Yelu Dashi, this relationship can no longer be blurred." β
Babel hurriedly said: "When the Han defeats Yelu Dashi, then there is no need for the general to remind him, Brother Bile himself will go to the Central Plains to worship the Han Emperor." β
He smiled and asked, "What else?" β
"Also, please don't go deep into the Uighur territory with the general's army." Babel said: "After all, Bilgol is still afraid, and if the army enters the Uighurs, I am afraid that he will have a different heart." β
"Although the place where I am camping now is dangerous, the water and grass are not beautiful. I want to find a place to rest my army, and I can't stay in this poor mountain and bad water. β
Babel said: "Regarding the matter of military rations, I will help the general find a way, as for the place where the troops are stationed...... If the general was only stationed in Yizhou, Bilgot would most likely agree. β
Planting to get sick: "I'm afraid that he will only be afraid of the two ends of his head and rat, and turn around and bite us." β
Babel said: "Don't worry about this, you have your own Babel to monitor him for the general." β
He said with a hey: "Okay! Then do it! Then he asked Babel, "Do you have any children?" β
Babel was stunned and said, "Yes, I have seven sons and twelve grandchildren. β
"After all, the Uighurs are a small place, and if you are the prime minister of the Uighurs, it sounds majestic here, but it is not a big deal." Even the Uighur kings were nothing to the Western Xia and Khitans. But the Great Han is different, one of our envoys can fight against the king of Western Xia! Babel, do you want your son to be an official in the Han court? Do you want your grandson to go to school in the Taixue of the Han Dynasty? β
What kind of place is Taixue in the Central Plains Dynasty, Babel also knows, when he heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, and said: "This, this...... If the general can carry it, then Babel will always be loyal to the Han and have no two hearts! β
He smiled and said, "Loyal and wise people will always be needed by the imperial court." I've heard that the people of the Ughul are envious of Ayimusi, but let me tell you, if you can help the imperial court do this great thing, in less than five years, it will be Ayimusi's turn to envy you! β
After the three men had negotiated, Babel was ordered to return to Gaochang and inform Bilegor of the outcome of the negotiations. When he heard that the Han army would not enter Gaochang, he was relieved first, and he didn't have much opinion on how to use Yizhou to recuperate and recuperate-although Yizhou is also an important city, and the straight-line distance between Yizhou and Gaochang is not very far, the road is not easy to walk, and if something happens, Biler Ge still has time to react. When I heard that I had not asked about the relationship between the Uighurs and the Khitan, I did not force him to break with the Khitan definitively, and my heart was even more peaceful.
arranged etiquette at the moment, went out of the city to receive the edict from the hands of Toshu, and sent people to Yizhou to hand over the city defense.
After the Han army entered the city, it did not burn and kill, and did not plunder. Although the food in the army was very depleted, there were still a lot of goods such as glass and silk, as well as a lot of gold and silver -- the Han army's northern expedition was to recover and fight against the Mobei tribes, so it brought a lot of money. The merchants who went with the army to do business were mostly sold according to local prices, and they were not forced to buy and sell - but when the goods from the Central Plains arrived here, they were all strange goods, and merchants from near and far came to hear the news, and the prices rose again and again, and they were still in short supply, and Babel and Toshu made huge profits from them.
Seeing that the Han army was stationed in Yizhou this time, the Wuer people not only did not disturb the public order in the territory, but also invigorated the market, and the merchants who went to the Central Plains did not deceive them, "The Han Department can really deal with it!" β
Planting to get sick from this place of settlement, military funds are gradually abundant under the operation of Babel, Torshu and others, knowing that this crisis has finally passed.
"My crisis is over, what about the six generals?"
At this time, he already knew that he was thousands of miles away from the city of Kedun, and nearly half of the army that Han Ting had entered Mobei had been taken away by himself, would the rest of the people be able to survive on the dangerous prairie?
I can't find the answer to this question.
