Chapter 200: The Clouds of the Vultures

"Brother Nalusheng?"

Yuwen Chengchao said: "Begging Fushan is trying to seize the throne this time, although there is no evidence, but there must be a figure of Brother Nalu Sheng behind it." ”

Qin Xiao said: "Brother Nalu Sheng wants to get rid of the White Wolf King, and Qi Fushan wants to seize the throne, these two people are indeed like-minded. ”

"The Eight Vedic Divisions, except for Brother Nalusheng, although the positions of the other seven tribes are not under the control of Brother Lusheng, but the Khan of Veda Heaven is the honor of Veda after all." Yuwen Chengchao said slowly: "He still has a great influence on the Great Khan of the various ministries. The succession of the Great Khan of the various ministries, without his support, is also a troublesome matter, of course, the final result is still decided by the ministries themselves, and Brother Nalu Sheng will wait until the people are decided, and then he will only need to be conferred, just go through the motions. After a pause, he said: "However, the Heavenly Khan has always had the right to distribute, and the conquered land and looted property are all returned to the Heavenly Khan to share the reward, so the ministries never dare to offend the Heavenly Khan, and the Nalu Department is the strongest tribe in the Wuda, whether it is land or population, it is far beyond the reach of other tribes, and the Nalu clan is the enemy, and life is always difficult." ”

Qin Xiao said: "Eldest prince, I heard that Brother Nalu Sheng's Khan position is not coming from the right way, I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

"It's not clear." Yuwen Chengchao said softly: "Actually, Brother Nalu Sheng is very similar to Qi Fushan. Both were brothers of the Khan, and both were highly successful and ambitious, but the end result was different. ”

The team is in the middle of the night, like yīn soldiers.

"It is rumored that the first generation of Tian Khan also fell ill suddenly, and then Nalu Shengge took charge of state affairs, but within a few months, Tian Khan passed away." Yuwen Chengchao said: "Brother Nalu Sheng held great power, convened the seven khans to hold a conference, and took out the will of the previous khan, and he succeeded him as the heavenly khan. Although this matter is strange, the khans of the various tribes are not willing to be enemies of Brother Nalusheng, and the khans of all tribes still approve of Brother Nalusheng, so they all swear allegiance to Brother Nalusheng. After Brother Nalu Shengge became Khan, although there were also rumors that the first generation of Tian Khan was killed by him, he led his various tribes to expand to the west and destroyed several countries, and all the ministries gained great benefits, and the rumors disappeared, and they were all very supportive of him. ”

"But I heard that Brother Nalu Sheng has been eyeing Xiling?"

"Not bad." Yuwen Chengchao said: "More than ten years ago, Wutuo broke through the pass and entered Xiling, and it is rumored that it was caused by Brother Nalu Sheng's group of people instigating the ancestors of the Heavenly Khan. After the Wutuo people took control of Kunlun Pass, they have always coveted Xiling. After losing that battle, they did not dispel their idea of annexing Xiling, but because of the oath made by the ancestor Tian Khan, they were helpless. He sneered: "If the Ancestor Heavenly Khan was really killed, then the oath was one of the reasons. ”

"Brother Nalu Sheng killed the Heavenly Khan just to end the oath." Qin Xiao said.

Yuwen Cheng bowed his head and said: "The first generation of Tian Khan was only in his forties at that time, and his body was strong, and the Tang Dynasty knew that it was impossible for the Wutuo people to break the covetous heart of Xiling, and at that time, Tian Khan swore that he would no longer set foot in Xiling half a step in his lifetime, and at that time the court felt that Tian Khan could live for at least twenty or thirty years, and he had twenty or thirty years to prepare, which was enough to deal with the eastward advance of the Wutuo people." It's just that I didn't expect that after only more than ten years, Brother Nalu Sheng would sit on the throne of Khan, so the situation in Xiling would become urgent. ”

Qin Xiao smiled bitterly: "If you really go all out to prepare for the war, more than ten years will be enough to build Xiling into an iron wall, and the current Xiling does not seem to be much stronger than it was back then." ”

Yuwen Chengchao looked

glanced at Qin Xiao, and said with a wry smile: "What you said is not wrong. ”

Of course, Qin Xiao knew that after the Wutuo Rebellion, Xiling became the nominal territory of the Tang Dynasty, but the actual control was in the hands of the Xiling Gate Lord, represented by the three surnames, Xiling had actually been cut into three parts, and the three surnames each occupied a piece of land.

The imperial court could not control Xiling, and the three surnames divided Xiling for their own interests, so that the divided Xiling, not to mention strong, could not be compared with the situation before the Vedic Rebellion.

Before the Wutuo Rebellion, although the strength of the Xiling Gate Valve was not weak, the entire Xiling was still under the control of the Tang Dynasty, and the Xiling Protectorate had great control over Xiling, and there was also a Tang army stationed in Xiling, and the taxes of Xiling were directly paid to the imperial court.

The three surnames of Xiling in the Wutuo rebellion, once sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, until an agreement was reached with the imperial court, which provided money, food and manpower, after the Wutuo people withdrew, the Tang army also withdrew from Xiling, although the capital protection mansion was retained, as well as the county governor's mansion, but it only became the eyes and ears of the imperial court to stay in Xiling, Xiling has completely become the cake in the mouth of the Xiling gate.

Qin Xiao and Yuwen Chengchao both knew very well in their hearts that due to the mutual constraints and restraints between Xiling and the imperial court, Xiling did not have any preparations to resist the attack of the Vedic people at all, although the three major gates had elite private cavalry, but the total was less than 3,000 people, such strength was weak in front of the powerful Vedic Iron Cavalry.

Even if a large number of strong men can be recruited in a short period of time, strong men who have never been trained will not be able to resist their scimitars once they face the fierce Vedas.

Once Wutuo attacks Xiling again, Xiling's hope can only be the Tang army that rushed to the rescue from the Guannei.

Of course, the imperial court has always been wary of the Wutuo people, so General Heiyu sits in Jiebei Mansion, which is a barrier in Jiayu Pass, and once Xiling changes, it is also the fastest place to send troops.

The imperial court is indeed wary of changes in Xiling, but in the past ten years, Xiling, at least on the surface, has not seen any preparations to guard against the comeback of the Vedas.

"Brother Nalu has been moving west in recent years." Yuwen Chengchao said solemnly: "The White Tiger Tribe is stationed in the east of the Veda Khanate, and it has always been safe, but this time Brother Nalu Sheng supported Qifu Shan behind his back to usurp the throne, which already shows that he has begun to set his sights on the east. ”

Qin Xiao frowned and said, "Could it be that he is really preparing to attack Xiling?" ”

"At least he's been preparing for all these years." Yuwen Chengchao sneered: "After Brother Nalu Sheng became Khan, he used troops to the west, which made many people mistakenly think that Brother Nalu Sheng did not dare to go east, but was preparing to expand to the west. However, some people can see that Brother Nalusheng's real intention is to prepare for the eastward expansion. ”

Qin Xiao's face was even more dignified.

He grew up in Xiling and had too much affection for that land.

He knew in his heart that the swords and soldiers were together, and the people of Xiling could only suffer.

Once the Wutuo people enter the customs, even if General Hei Yu takes his soldiers and horses out of the customs to rescue, but Xiling has become a battlefield between the two countries, and there will inevitably be countless wives and wives who are separated and their families are destroyed, such a bloody and miserable scene, Qin Xiao definitely does not want to see.

"The westward march to destroy the country made Nalu Shengge more and more prestigious, and also subdued the hearts of the people of the Vedic Khanate." Yuwen Chengchao said softly: "The countries of the Western Regions were wiped out by the Vedas in a row, and they were terrified, if the Vedas went east in the future, the countries of the Western Regions would never dare to make a move behind the Vedic Khanate." Bought people's hearts and shocked the rear, do you think Brother Nalu Sheng did this

What is the purpose of everything? ”

Fat Fish and the others on the side have been silent, and at this time Fat Fish finally said: "The Vedic people have clear grievances and grievances, and they will indeed repay them if they have kindness, but if there is a grudge, they will eventually retaliate." At that time, the king of the Veda Khan was captured by the black feather general Xue Yesheng, and 100,000 iron horsemen returned, which was a great shame for the king of the Veda Khan and the entire Veda Khanate. They have been waiting for an opportunity to take revenge, in fact, many people know that the Vedas will not give up and will definitely make a comeback, but at that time, they all felt that the Vedas would not dare to act rashly within thirty years, but in fact, the Vedas have begun to show signs of revenge. ”

"If Qi Fushan succeeds in usurping the throne this time, then the Woods will not be far away from using troops against Xiling." Yuwen Chengchao looked at Qin Xiao: "So this time, your contribution is not only to save the white shopkeeper, but also to save Xiling." After this incident, the White Wolf King will be even more incompatible with Brother Nalusheng, and it is impossible to follow Brother Nalusheng's order to go east. The White Wolf Tribe is the most powerful clan in the Eight Woodlands that is second only to the Nalu clan in strength, and as long as the White Wolf King insists, Nalu Sheng's plan to advance eastward can only be delayed. ”

Qin Xiao frowned and said, "If Brother Nalu Sheng regards the White Wolf King as a roadblock, he won't give up. I'm just worried about ......! ”

Yuwen Chengchao smiled: "I know what you mean, but the White Wolf King is not an idle person. This time it was designed by his trusted brother, and if he was someone else, he might not be able to succeed. After this incident, the White Wolf Khan King will definitely be more careful, and if Brother Nalu Sheng wants to attack the White Wolf Khan King again, it will not be easy. ”

"After all, he is the king of the Veda Khan, although he is the most powerful heavenly khan of the Veda people, but he still has to take care of the eight tribes of the Veda in his work." Fat Yu said: "Begging Fushan usurped the throne this time, I'm afraid that other Khan kings will also suspect that there is Brother Nalu Sheng behind him, so Brother Nalu Sheng will not dare to act rashly." Tian Khan designed to murder other khanates, and used despicable and shameless tricks, if he was caught with evidence, he would not be able to keep his khan position. Moreover, the Wutuo people really want to use troops against Xiling, and the Tang Dynasty is the enemy, and the Wutuo Eight Divisions must work together, even so, they may not be the opponents of the Tang Dynasty, if there is civil strife, it is even more impossible to be the enemy of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"That's what Fat Fish said." Yuwen Chengchao sighed: "So we only hope that the White Wolf Khan King is healthy and lives as long as possible, otherwise it will be .....!" ”

Several people looked back.

The White Wolf Khan was at the back of the chariot, with the Vedic cavalry.

"By the way, eldest prince, do you have any news from Zhao Yi and Deputy Commander Liu?" Qin Xiao suddenly thought that Yuwen Chengchao had sent two groups of people before, Zhao Yi and Liu Wenxuan went to Tangren City, but they didn't see those two tonight.

If they had already joined Yuwen Chengchao and acted tonight, it would be okay if Liu Wenxuan didn't get involved, but Zhao Yi would definitely not be absent.

Yuwen Chengchao frowned, and the fat fish's face became solemn.

"They haven't heard from them since they left that day." Yuwen Chengchao worried: "It stands to reason that they should have joined us a long time ago, but there has been no news, and I don't know what happened." He looked at the sky and muttered, "I just hope they are safe and sound, and nothing will happen." ”
