A few snowstorms in November eased the situation in Mobei, and the Loyal Khan did not storm Han Erbali, they symbolically attacked a few times, and then turned north before the return of the Hui army, and in a fit of rage, the Loyal Khan sent a large army to pursue the Loyal Khan, but the sudden blizzard stopped the Loyal Khan's path to revenge, and the Loyal Khan returned to their homeland after a long absence.

At the beginning of December, the news of the Tang army's victory in Broken Leaves finally reached Han Erbali, and the loyal Khan seemed to wake up from a sleep, and he remembered that the Tang princess had been forgotten by him for more than two months, the Tang princess was still in Harlem City, Yunying was waiting to be married, and the loyal Khan was a little impatient, the beauty and ugliness of the Tang princess was no longer important, even if she was as ugly as a mother-in-law, he would welcome her into his palace and worship her as the mother of the country, this is the trend of naked interests, and the big victory of the broken leaves has wrapped too much dazzling halo around the Tang princess, On 4 December, a group of more than 500 people arrived in the small city of Harlem.

Outside Harlem City, the deputy envoy of the wedding department, Lang Zhonglin Yuanli, bowed his hand to Luo Geling, the second phase medicine who came to welcome the marriage, and smiled: "This time, the second phase can sleep and eat!" ”

Yao Luo Ge Ling is indeed obviously high-spirited, the victory of Broken Leaves has brought him rich political benefits, the pro-Da Shi Sogdians are silent, and the clamoring Hui military is dumb, Manichaeism has also changed the tradition of the past, and began to keep silent about politics, only the pro-Tang faction people sulked, and asked the loyal Khan to cancel Shuang Ke Dun, and immediately marry the Tang princess as the only Hui Ke Dun, as the leader of the pro-Tang faction, how can Yao Luo Ge Ling not be disgraced, full of confidence.

He hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and thanked Lin Yuanli in return, he immediately glanced at both sides, and asked with some surprise, "What about Pei Yuanjun?" Why don't you see others? ”

"Pei Yuanjun is a little sick, and it is inconvenient to come to greet him, please forgive me."

"I see." Giving off and welcoming marriage is a major event between the two countries, and it is not enough for the deputy envoy to come forward. Yao Luo Ge Ling pondered for a while and said: "It's getting late today, we will stay outside the city overnight, I hope that tomorrow Pei Yuanjun can recover as soon as possible." ”

In fact, Pei Mingyuan didn't feel sick at all, the reason why he didn't welcome Luo Geling was that he had just received an urgent letter from the Tang Emperor, and this letter was lying flat on the table in front of him. The content of the edict surprised Pei Mingyuan very much, Zhang Huan had received a secret report, and the anti-Tang faction in the Hui country was plotting a major conspiracy, he ordered Pei Mingyuan not to act rashly, let alone interfere in the possible civil strife of Hui Hui, but to protect the princess, if there is a change in Hui Hui. In any case, the princess must be brought home.

After reading this edict, Pei Mingyuan was silent for a long time, and what surprised him was not the conspiracy itself. It is the emperor's attitude towards possible events, and he actually let it develop, that is to say, the emperor knew that the anti-Tang faction of Hui Hui was going to carry out a conspiracy against the Tang Dynasty, but he did not interfere, and even added fuel to the fire, which is incredible! What move did the emperor take?

But after being confused for a long time, Pei Mingyuan finally realized the emperor's deep meaning, and it seems that his next strategic goal is his next strategic goal. Obviously, it is Hui, with Pei Mingyuan understanding this, all the doubts behind are solved, the Hui people in the Battle of Broken Leaves showed the momentum of taking advantage of the fire to rob people really make people pinch a cold sweat, if it weren't for the emperor who had already laid out the dark chess, this time the Battle of Broken Leaves is not yet known, but this move can only be used once, if the next time the Battle of Tochar or the Battle of Samarkand breaks out, the Hui people jumped out and took advantage of the fire to rob. What else could be done to force it back? Hui Hui will always be a hungry wolf who can't get enough to eat, only by completely killing it, or beating it to no longer be arrogant, can it no longer be coerced by it, and the end of the Battle of Broken Leaves, there will be no more war between Datang and Da Shi in the short term, which provides an opportunity to solve the problem of Hui Hui.

Pei Mingyuan slowly walked to the window with his hands behind his back, his eyes were full of his understanding of Zhang Huan's painstaking efforts, looking at the history of the Han people. From the Qin and Han dynasties of the Xiongnu. to the Wuhu Rebellion of the Two Jin Dynasty, and then to the Turkic southern invasion of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. In order to prevent the northern steppe peoples from threatening the survival of the Han people's descendants, their generation has the responsibility to completely eliminate the troubles in the north.

"Envoy. The princess is coming. The report of the guards outside the door interrupted Pei Mingyuan's train of thought. He hurriedly turned around and put away the handwritten oracle on the table. She can't be made aware of this matter for the time being.

"Please let her in."

The door opened. Korean princess Lee Su walked in. She already knew the news that Hui Hui had officially sent to welcome her relatives. In other words, she will eventually marry into that dazzling golden palace. Li Su did not have the slightest shyness and joy about to become a bride. There was a hint of sadness in her eyes. entered Pei Mingyuan's study. She quickly hid the sorrow. Changed to an extremely bland look.

"I heard you're sick. I'm here to visit. ”

"It's out of the way." Pei Mingyuan waved his hand lightly. "Princess, please be seated."

Li Su sat down opposite Pei Mingyuan and Ying Ying. She opened the cloth bag she was carrying. Take out a thick stack of books from inside. Pushed to him. He sighed low and said, "Pei Yuanjun." These books are returned to you. ”

"Have you read it all? Or want to borrow a few new books. Pei Mingyuan smiled slightly.

Li Su shook her head, her calm expression could no longer be maintained, the infinite sadness that surged in her heart finally made her eyes gloomy, she was still restraining her feelings, she didn't want anyone to see the weakness in her heart, especially the elegant and handsome man opposite her,

"No, I can't pay you back if I borrow it, so I won't borrow it." Her voice was so low that she could barely hear as she said this, her eyes drooping, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

Pei Mingyuan heard the abnormality in her tone, he looked at her deeply, and sighed secretly in his heart, after months of getting along, they went from strange to familiar, from monarchs to friends, from the beginning of the marvel that this beautiful woman's heart was full of love for Datang, to he slowly felt that she actually had a normal heart that longed to be loved and cared for, from the fact that she always deliberately came to borrow and return books from herself, Pei Mingyuan seemed to have experienced something, but he couldn't say it clearly, he only knew that he actually hoped that this marriage would fail, From that point of view. He didn't feel like he was a good wedding giver either.

He silently pushed the book back again, "My books will be left to you, and you will always come back to visit your relatives one day in the future, so return it to me at that time!" ”

Her face changed suddenly, and the calm look in her eyes vanished, turning into a gaze that bordered on despair. She looked at Pei Mingyuan blankly, her lips moved slightly, but she didn't say anything, her eyes began to be hazy, covered with a layer of ice crystal, and her long eyelashes moved a few times one after another.

"Do you really want me to marry him?" She finally uttered this short question, tears streaming down her cheeks, and she could not say a second sentence.

My Pei Mingyuan's head suddenly lowered, and a strong sense of guilt suddenly surged in his heart. This remorse is both a remorse for his inability to help the princess out of pain, and a repentance for his deceased wife, who died in childbirth two years ago, and he feels that his loyalty to her is being worn away little by little. This intertwined feeling of guilt almost made his chest explode.

"You probably don't have to marry him." He finally couldn't help but say the emperor's top secret edict, he turned it around sharply, and said loudly: "Don't ask me why, you go!" Things aren't as bad as you think. ”

He bit his lip tightly and bit it white, as if he had committed a mortal sin, but his heart was quietly relieved, how could he want the beautiful princess to marry that rude man?

Li Su's eyes widened, revealing a look of disbelief. As if she was about to sink into the abyss and grabbed a life-saving plank in an instant, her eyes gradually brightened, and the tears of pain turned into tears of excitement, Li Su gently wiped the tears from her cheeks, and slowly stood up, she walked to the door, and suddenly looked back and looked deeply at the only man she could rely on, and she realized his inner care for herself.

"Thank you!" After Li Su finished speaking, he turned around and walked away quickly, Pei Mingyuan stared at her beautiful back silently. Until she walked away and disappeared, he suddenly took out the emperor's edict and read it over and over again, returning to the conspiracy of the Su people, so what can he do?

Conspiracy always occurs at night, whether in Chang'an, Baghdad or Han'er Bali, this law almost always applies, and the cold snap of the Mobei winter night makes it impossible to see a pedestrian on the street of Han Erbali. There were no patrolling soldiers either. Except for the hundreds of guards in front of the palace, the entire city was as silent as death.

In the west of the city of Han'er Bali, there is a large mansion that occupies a large area. All of them are made of huge stones, and from a distance it looks like a magnificent small castle, which is the house of the Hui Xiangguo Jie Gangas.

Jiegan Gas once controlled the supreme military power of the Hui, in the rebellion of Tuoba Qianlidi, it was he who led the army to fight fiercely with the rebels, recaptured the Han Erbali, and made a great contribution to the re-enthronement of the loyal Khan, and he also transferred from military to civil, as the Hui Xiangguo, although he was already a civilian official, but he still enjoyed a very high prestige in the army, and the fifteen commanders of the Hui, ten of them were his subordinates, so he was also the representative of the Hui military forces, integrating military and political power, it can be said that he is the second person of the Hui.

In the past few days, he has been as silent as the Sogdians and Manichaeans, the silence comes from the great victory of the Tang army in Broken Leaves, although Jiegan Gass did not feel any pain about the defeat of the Great Cannibal, but the victory of the Tang army once again stimulated his nerves, reminded him of the shame of the Battle of Anxi, he led 100,000 troops south to the north court, but in the end he relied on the Khan's begging for Zhang Huandi to return to Mobei, which is a shame that he will never forget in his life, he is thinking about fighting with the Tang army again all the time, All the time, I was thinking about being able to lead the army to drink the Central Plains and plunder the wealth and women of the Tang Dynasty back to the grassland.

He is almost fifty years old this year, and when the years are almost obliterating his dreams, an opportunity suddenly appears in front of his eyes, to be precise, an unprecedented, the craziest temptation of his life.

The room was very quiet, the stove was blazing, a pot of milk tea was tumbling on the iron shelf, and Jiegan Gasi was adding wood to the stove while silently listening to the distinguished guest analyze the situation in front of him.

"Xiangguo, in the nine Hui tribes, except for Fugu and Absi slightly biased towards the Tang Dynasty, the rest of the Hun, Bayugu, Tongluo, Sijie and Qi all advocated the development of the south, advocating the capture of Beiting and Anxi, which is consistent with your thoughts, and you will inevitably get their support, in addition, the Sogdians, who control our Hui financial resources, are even more strongly anti-Tang and advocate an alliance with Dashi, they are very dissatisfied with the Khan's abandonment of attacking Beiting, I have received the exact news, Now the Sogdians all believe that it was because of the Khan's betrayal that led to the fiasco of the Great Eclipse in Broken Leaves, as for the Manichaeism itself originated from Persia, and the same origin as the Black Clothes Great Eclipse, and with the loyal support of my national teacher, you don't have to worry about the dissatisfaction of Hui public opinion with you, and Manichaeism uses myths to solve the legitimacy of your succession. ”

Before the end of the Battle of Broken Leaves, he received a secret mission from the caliph to overthrow the current loyal Khan and re-establish a new Hui Khan who was pro-Dashi, for which he looked for a long time among the Hui nobles, the heirs of the former Dengli Khan were killed, and the other young nobles were either weak and incompetent, or they were not recognized by the military, and the most important thing to overthrow the loyal Khan was to get the absolute support of the military, Surman searched for a long time, There is only one person who is both a hardcore anti-Tang faction and can get the absolute support of the military, and that is Xiangguo Jiegangas, after several temptations, including secret talks with his son, Sulman has discovered the true face of Jiegangas, who is actually an ambitious power-hungry man.

So, there is no need to beat around the bush, there is no need to hide it anymore, Sulman directly said the idea of eating the caliphate, overthrowing the loyal khan, and supporting Jiegangas as the new khan of Hui, Sulman said while observing the other party's expression, he saw that Jiegangas was silent, and he did not jump up to accuse himself of rebellion, knowing that he was actually moved, but he needed a more glamorous excuse.

"Xiangguo also saw, Helu Modagan is indeed a two-headed bird swaying from side to side, when the two countries confronted each other, he wanted to set up Shuang Kedun, the Tang army won in Broken Leaves, and he immediately wanted to marry the Tang Princess, to put it ugly, this kind of person seems to be left and right, but in fact he is a villain who has no ambition and cannot lead the Hui to a strong and prosperous villain, the real hero should be Xiang Guo, who adheres to his own principles and is bent on expanding his territory outward, which is bound to receive broad support. ”

Jiegan Gasi sighed slightly, "The Khan is not thin on me, how can I bear it?" ”

Sulman secretly sneered, Denli Khan was also not kind to him back then, how could he bear to kill him and join the new master! Now he actually wants to set up a memorial arch again, and his despicable and cheeky face is really admirable, although he looks down on this person in his heart, but Sulman has to find a cloth of shame for him.

"Xiangguo is wrong, when did he treat Xiangguo well, Xiangguo don't think that he appointed you as Xiangguo is grateful to Dade, but not thin, no, his real intention is to use the method of bright ascension and secret descent to seize the military power of Xiangguo, Xiangguo think about it, his father Dunmo He Dagan seized the position of Khan from Xiangguo, the lesson is not far away, how can he believe you again?"

Sulman's agitation finally moved Gyangas, and the ambition in his heart gradually awakened, and after a long silence, he said slowly: "There is no major fault in Helu Modagan, I don't want to bear the charge of killing the king, you have to complete this matter." ”

Sulman smiled sinisterly, "Don't worry, I already have the perfect plan. "To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading! )
