Chapter Twenty-Four: The Humble Inheritance

"Chengzong has seen Pei Guogong, Chang'an farewell, Guogong is heroic, always appears in his mind, and he does not dare to forget. But I didn't want to, but in just over a month, I was able to meet again in this bitter cold place and see the demeanor of the country again, and I was inexplicably happy in my heart. The prince of the country has come from afar, why don't you let people spread the word, and the Uighurs should be well prepared, and lead all the warriors of the whole clan to greet them! ”

The Uighur patriarch Chengzong put his identity very low and greeted him with a grand ceremony.

Ge Shuhan was a little dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, Pei Min's prestige had already affected the grassland thousands of miles away, making a tribal patriarch so humble and whispering hello.

Dumbfounded, there was some envy, and he couldn't help but say in his heart: "A man should be like this, with a seven-foot body, he has created a great cause and is admired by thousands of people." ”

Pei Min was not surprised by Chengzong's grand welcome, but he didn't expect that Chengzong, the patriarch of the grassland, spoke Huaxia so fluently, and the words were so vivid and beautiful, praising him to the sky.

"The patriarch doesn't need to be polite, Min is here this time, but he has something to ask for!"

Pei Min also responded politely, showing extreme politeness.

Regardless of whether Chengzong's actions are sincere or false.

Datang and Uighur have a direct interest relationship at this stage, and it is mutually beneficial for the two sides to deepen cooperation, and Datang occupies the majority of interests.

Pei Min, like his second-level apprentice Li Bai, has an angry thought, but he will not ignore his vested interests because of this thought.

Deepening communication with the Uighurs is beneficial and harmless.

As for the long-term scabies, it is enough to get rid of it when it occurs.

"Please come in and speak!"

Seongjong cautiously made a gesture of please.

After entering the big tent, Chengzong invited Pei Min to take the throne.

Pei Minqian did not accept it, as an outsider, at this time he chose to keep a low profile, and did not win the main seat, but sat down on the left mat of the main seat.

Chengzong did not dare to sit on the main seat, but sat down on the right seat of the main seat and vacated the main seat.

Pei Min did not hide his intentions, and said bluntly: "People live in the world and pay attention to one principle. My principle is very simple, if anyone does not offend me, I will not offend anyone, and if anyone offends me, I will be rewarded tenfold. The Turks took the opportunity to attack this time and killed more than 10,000 of our Tang border army. If I don't take revenge, I won't be able to sleep well at night. ”

Chengzong's heart was shocked, and he remembered the war that Pei Min had experienced, all of which proved this truth.

Different people have different combat styles, and Pei Min's command of operations is not the main purpose of killing and injuring the enemy.

His usual style of play is to actively seek battle, destroy the opponent's living forces, annihilate the opponent's main force, and then carry out the rest of the sweep.

For this reason, the battles he commanded must have vigorous battles, and the proportion of captured and killed enemies is also the highest.

Tubo and the Tang Dynasty have been enemies for many years, and even confronted each other for many years. However, the long-term confrontation has never hurt any vitality, but after fighting Pei Min a few times, his vitality was greatly damaged, and it is not unreasonable that he has to admit to Datang.

What the grassland people are most afraid of is Pei Min's type of character.

Numbers are their greatest disadvantage, and for this reason they rarely go head-to-head except in exceptional circumstances.

But Pei Min forced them to fight, fighting for damage consumption, and after a few battles, they couldn't stop fighting.

Pei Min continued: "I know that the intention of the Turks in this southern expedition is to seek peace by war......

When he said these four words, he noticeably noticed that the pupils of Chengzong's eyes shrank.

In today's steppe, only the Turks dare to call themselves "khanates", and only the Turks have this strength.

In all fairness, the current Turks do have the prestige of the lord of the north, and the only thing they lack is the recognition of the Celestial Empire.

Once the Tang Dynasty made peace, the Tang Dynasty recognized the status of the Turks, and their tribes would not have a bright future until the new turmoil came to an end.

This is the last thing Seungjong wants to see.

"So I can conclude that as soon as the Longyou Army arrives in Liangzhou, it will approach the battlefield. Don't look at the Turks, there are 100,000 people, and they run like rabbits, and they are gone. My Datang is stronger than the Turks, even if this escapes, we can't catch up with it. ”

Chengzong couldn't help but smile when he heard this, in fact, they were the same.

Pei Min looked at Chengzong cautiously and said, "Here I need you Uighurs to send troops to cut off the Turks' retreat for me." When the time comes, I will use the Liangzhou army as the left flank and the Longyou army as the right flank, and I will fight with you Uighurs in three ways, and I will eat as much as I can. What did the patriarch think? ”

Regarding Pei Min's request, Chengzong did not show much surprise.

As the patriarch of the Uighurs, Chengzong was not an easy man, but an ambitious figure.

Now he is only the leader of a tribe, and the names of the tribes are not uniform, some are called Weisu, some are called Uhu, and some are called Uighur......

But he wanted to develop the tribe into a khanate, and the name had already been decided, called the Hui Khanate, and he would be the first Hui Khan.

For this reason, Chengzong attaches great importance to the relationship with the Tang Dynasty, and this time the Turks gathered 100,000 people from all departments of the grassland in Nankou Liangzhou.

He was also extremely concerned about the war in Liangzhou, and even knew that Pei Min had been appointed as the head of the march of Longyou Dao.

Regarding Pei Min's intention, he had already guessed in his heart.

His reply also fits the criteria of a patriarch.

"I admire the Heavenly Empire and the Kingdom of Heaven very much, and I also admire the Guogong very much. To be able to help the heavens and the kingdom and help the country, it is impossible to give up. ”

Chengzong said impassionedly, and then said with a bitter face: "Just rely on the strength I have at my disposal, let alone resist the Turkic backroads, then the special service can send a random army and horses to clean me up." In the future, it is necessary to convene the heads of the various ministries and discuss them together before they can give a clear answer to the national government. ”

Pei Min knew that Chengzong's request was reasonable.

Regardless of whether Chengzong's words were true or not, he needed to convene all the ministries to discuss.

The Uighurs, like most of the steppe peoples, were composed of several tribes, and the Chengzong was only the strongest, the Uighur speaker. He doesn't really have much power in his hands, and to stop the Turks is undoubtedly hitting a stone with an egg.

Pei Min also had to rely on the strength of the Uighurs as a whole, not on the part of Chengzong alone.

"The matter of conquest is fought day and night, and I hope that the patriarch can give an answer as soon as possible. As long as the patriarch can send troops to help me Datang today, the patriarch is my Pei Min's friend, and I will do my best to promote what the patriarch thinks in his heart! ”

Pei Min also threw out his chips.

A trace of greed flashed in Chengzong's eyes, as long as he could get the support and recognition of the Tang Dynasty, as long as the Turks suffered heavy losses this time, then the establishment of the Hui Khanate would be a sure thing.

"Guogong rest assured, in the lower province. At the latest, an answer will be given to the king. Guogong must have been tired all the way away. A big tent delicacies were prepared for Guogong under the next, and Guogong enjoyed it to his heart's content! ”

Pei Min got up and planned to leave.

Chengzong added: "My Uighur woman is not as charming as the Tang woman, but she also has a different taste, and I don't know if the prince is ......"10
