The white horse hangs the bow, and the light horse is as fast as a falcon.

On the official road leading from Huazhou Camp to Chang'an, more than 100 Hui cavalrymen with white horses and fox furs urged their horses to step on the remnants of the snow and strictly escort Abogesa Lero back to Chang'an.

"Today is the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, and the sixth day will be the Yuan Day Meeting, this year the Khan can still sit in the palace and smile to welcome all countries to the court?" The pale bearded Lero raised his huge head and looked coldly at the Tang Dynasty capital looming on the horizon.

The Hui Khanate was adjacent to the three towns of Shuofang, Hedong and Fanyang, and there were eyeliners in Lingzhou, Datong and Youzhou, so soon after An Lushan raised his army, Black Tiger City learned that there was civil strife in the Tang Dynasty, and a dispute broke out in the Khan's tent.

Ye Hu, the crown prince who had always been pro-Tang, suggested that Gele Khan send an envoy to Chang'an to meet the Heavenly Khan, and took the initiative to request that the king be sent troops; Prince Yidijian believes that the civil war in the Tang Dynasty is a godsend, even if he can't rashly send troops to plunder the Tang Realm, he must take the opportunity to raise troops to attack the Huangjiasi, mix the desert north, and pass through the west.

Ye Hu and Yidi Jian each have a cadre of henchmen, and when the two factions were arguing and arguing, Gele Khan suddenly asked the silent Towlero.

"How do you choose?"

In fact, after returning from the river six years ago, Towlero was in an awkward situation. He taught him all the kung fu of riding and archery, and the whole of the khanate regarded him as the prince's henchman; But when Gele Khan planned to make Ye Hu the crown prince, he did not oppose it according to the agreement. Yidi Jian didn't say it, but secretly he became more and more estranged from him. Prince Ye Hu tried to win him over, but Leluo ignored him.

Ye Hu's canonization as the crown prince did not end the Hui party dispute, and many nobles still unswervingly supported Yidijian and opposed Ye Hu everywhere, which gave Gele Khan a headache. The dispute caused by the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty is only the tip of the iceberg of the struggle between the two factions.

Probably because of the clear bystanders, Leluo, who was reduced to the margins of the party struggle, saw Xiao Jiujiu of the two factions clearly. The reason why Prince Ye Hu was eager to send troops to help the Tang Dynasty quell the rebellion was ostensibly because he had received aid from the Tang Dynasty when he was competing for the position of crown prince, but more importantly, Ye Hu reused Sogdian merchants from the west of the Khanate to firmly control the trade between the Khanate and the Tang Dynasty.

Lero learned from his sister who was married to the servant Gu that Prince Ye Hu followed the example of Beiting Fei Langjun and quietly opened a number of shops in Chang'an, Lingzhou, Tingzhou and other places, operating dozens of caravans, and earning hundreds of thousands of yuan every year.

Ye Hu tried to penetrate his tentacles deep into Youhe, but An Lushan had a group of Sogdians from Anguo under his command, who forcibly bought and sold, bullied and dominated the market, and operated the three towns of Fanyang, Pinglu, and Hedong to the point that they could not penetrate the water and insert the needle. Ye Hu's newly opened shop was smashed to pieces, and several caravans were looted by horse bandits with suspicious identities. Ye Hu sent someone to negotiate with Fan Yang Jiedu's envoy, but there was no change. It wasn't until he heard that Fei Langjun's Su Yeju also regarded the three towns as a daunting path, so he gave up completely.

If An Lushan succeeds in plotting to usurp the throne, the Anguo businessman will ascend the chicken and dog to heaven, and Ye Hu will lose a lot of wealth, so he will strongly advocate helping the Tang Dynasty to quell the rebellion in both public and private.

Most of the supporters of the Shifters came from the bitter cold of the northern part of the Khanate, and they had nothing but warriors, horses, and bows and knives. They regard Datang as fat, and they were afraid of the strong Tang army before, and they didn't dare to act rashly, but now that Datang is in civil strife, they naturally want to pounce on it and bite it hard. What kind of army to attack the Tunja is just an excuse. The area around the Sword River in the Huangjia Department can barely be regarded as abundant in water and grass, but how much oil and water there is. "Passing through the west" and "plundering the Tang Realm" are the real goals of Yidijian.

Trailing Luo has always agreed with the western part of the country, and it was meant to explore the way when he sent troops to the west to conquer the country of Shi. Although the heart of the Tang Dynasty is very rich, there are too many Han people living in it, and the khanate can rob its wealth but cannot easily occupy its land.

It was originally the territory of the Turkic Khanate, with few Han people and many tribes, and the Shatuo, Qarlu and other tribes were inextricably linked with the Uighurs. If it can seize the western part of the country, the khanate can Huairou the tribes, slowly operate, collect taxes, and transfer Dingkou, and the national strength will definitely increase greatly. At that time, the khanate, which spanned more than 10,000 miles from east to west, would spread its wings and look down on the Tang court that had curled up back to the Central Plains.

The Tang Dynasty also took precautions against the Khanate, and the three towns of Beiting, Anxi, and Hezhong supported each other, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers used their great martial arts to show the power of the Heavenly Khan. Shatuo, Qarluq and other troops were intimidated by the might of the Tang Dynasty and would never respond to the khanate. As a feud of the Khanate, the Ministry of Rigas is even more eyeing behind the scenes.

At present, the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty may be a good opportunity to pass through the west, but Lero, who has always been heavy-handed, does not agree with the Khanate's eagerness to make a choice, after all, An Lushan has just raised his army, and the future trend is not yet clear. Therefore, when Gel Khan asked, Golero proposed to garrison troops on the border and send envoys to test the reality of the Tang Dynasty and wait to see the evolution of the war situation.

Gol Khan praised the words of the old Cheng of Tolero, so he ordered Dagan (the name of the Hui official, for the commander of the army) Dide to lead a team of 10,000 people to approach the Youhe, reconnoiter the battle situation, and move the camera; At the same time, Lero was sent to Chang'an to participate in the Yuan Dynasty Meeting.

Di De is Ye Hu's confidant, only the prince is the head of the horse, and he will never provoke the Tang Dynasty without authorization, and the prince is very satisfied; Although Yidi Jian did not complete the work, he felt that Gele Khan faintly showed his heart to fight against the Tang Dynasty, and Lu Leluo was his mentor after all, so he no longer argued.

Before leaving, Gol Khan summoned Grero alone. He thought that the Khan was going to tell him to investigate the internal strife in the Tang Dynasty, but the first sentence of the Khan was "Gesa Apo, what do you think about marrying the Heavenly Khan?" ”

"Marriage? The intention of the Great Khan, does he have to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty? The stunned Lero said cautiously.

"Tian Khan often uses clan women to pretend to be princesses to fool people, and there is no hurry to marry a princess." Gele Khan waved his hand, "Princess Viga is now in the pavilion, looking at the world, in addition to the Tang Dynasty, who is worthy of a certain woman?" ”

"The Great Khan is very true!" Leluo echoed, "Tubo and Huangjiasi are feuds, and Khitan, Xi, and Murowei are just eagles
