"Lang Jun, I just received news from His Highness Deputy Voloa that a delegation has come, although it is under the banner of Tatars, but in fact it is Turkic."

"What, Turks, how is this possible."

Don't worry about the books in her hand, Duan Jian's face was full of surprise, since he arrived at this time, Duan Jian's daily life has become extremely simple, eating, riding, swimming, sleeping, and occasionally reading books in his spare time to pass the time.

Of course, being so leisurely does not mean that he is not doing his job, without anyone paying attention, Zhou Xing, as his representative, quietly communicated with those famous and powerful people of various tribes of Tiele, or bribed, or bribed, and under various means, he has been recognized by many tribes.

It's just that because he has not been in contact with the rulers of the Hui, he can't make all this superficial.

After such an action, Duan Jian thought that as long as the opportunity came, it would be a natural thing to unite with the various tribes of Tiele to resist the Turkic troops together, but he did not expect such an unexpected situation.

"Lang Jun, I'm afraid it's true, according to the news of Deputy Vola You, as soon as this mission arrived, Aledo Khan sent people to arrange them in a very secret place, and at the same time, several elders of the Hui tribe also went to this mission to investigate, and then the Hui Hui held a conference, all the little prestige has arrived, if it is not a big event, the Hui will not act like this, it seems that we want to use the Turkic troops to force the Hui to unite with us, it may not be so smooth."

Zhou Xing said solemnly.

"How many people are coming?" Duan Jian asked, and at the same time, a somewhat crazy plan formed in his mind.

"I heard that there are more than 1,000 people, and they all seem to be strong people." Zhou Xing replied.

......................

"Eminem, you see how this matter should be handled." Aledo asked Shen Rou.

"What the elders say?" Shen Rou's tone was also a little dignified, changing from the quiet and senseless appearance of the past, kneeling on the thick blanket dignifiedly, looking at Aledo and saying.

It's no wonder that Shen Rou is like this, the Turks actually sent an embassy to negotiate with the Hui Hui, although everyone knows that the Turks have a great appetite, even if the Hui Hui are willing to negotiate with them, I am afraid they will have to pay a huge price, but compared to these costs, it is much better than losing everything and not even saving their lives in the end.

"The elders all said that now that the Turks are strong and the army is coming, it is better to lose some benefits in exchange for the peace of the tribe than to fight them with everything." Aledo said in a heavy tone.

Thinking of the righteous words of the elders at the conference, but in fact, they were greedy for life and afraid of death, the young and vigorous Aledo couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

In Aledo's view, the Hui tribe is the largest tribe in the entire Tiele and a large tribe in the entire northern Xinjiang, even if the Turks are not strong now, they are not weak there, why has they not started fighting, they are about to be forced to sign the alliance under the city, in that case, what face does he, the Great Khan, continue to sit on the throne, and how can he be worthy of the dead Great Khans.

"It's no wonder they're like this, people are not grass and trees, they can live, who wants to die, if the Turks are really willing to sign an alliance with us, even if they lose some benefits, it's nothing, but, what I'm afraid of is that the Turks came this time to hide from the sky and the sea, to prevent us from uniting with the Tang Dynasty, and after destroying our union, we will break it in each one, in that case, I am afraid that we will really suffer a big disaster." Shen Rou sighed.

"Eminem, what you said is right, some elders also said so, but the conditions proposed by the Turks this time are too generous, they promised, we Hui nominally recognize the Turks as the king of the steppe, send 10,000 good horses, 30,000 cattle and sheep every year, will take the current border as the dividing line, do not occupy an inch of grassland of our Tiele people, such conditions, don't talk about them, even the child heard it, he was a little moved." Aledo said.

"Hmph, it's really a good calculation, it seems that in order to stop our alliance with the Tang Dynasty, the Turks have already opened up, and even dare to open this condition, if they can really abide by it, it's nothing, but unfortunately, it's just a bait, and when we really eat it, the hook hidden in the bait can hook out our intestines." Shen Rou snorted coldly.

Although I am not sure whether the ultimate goal of the Turks is to prevent themselves from sending troops or to prevent themselves from uniting with the Tang Dynasty, Shen Rou knows that pies will not fall from the sky, any good thing has a great negative effect, the more delicious it seems, the more serious the consequences are, and now the Turkic army is dispatched, and it is about to fight, but it suddenly puts forward such generous conditions, which just shows that this is a trap, a trap that people are reluctant to give up.

"Eminem, you are saying that the purpose of this Turkic delaying tactic is to confuse us, and then suddenly attack us when we are unprepared." After hearing Shen Rou's words, Aledo was a little enlightened.

Shen Rou didn't answer Aledo's words, just shook her head and nodded again, just when Aledo was confused, she heard Shen Rou say, "You make arrangements, I want to see the envoy of Datang as soon as possible." ”

In the middle of the night, everything is quiet on the grassland, except for the occasional footsteps of patrolling soldiers, I am afraid that only the sound of the wind blowing makes people feel a little alive.

"Lord Emissary, Kotun is waiting for you inside."

Looking at the big tent in front of him, Duan Jian's face was full of solemnity.

After getting the news of the arrival of the Turkic mission, Duan Jian discussed countermeasures with Zhou Xing and others, but they could discuss and discuss, but there was no suitable countermeasure, indeed, if it was the Anbei Protectorate who once controlled the entire Northern Xinjiang Grassland, I am afraid that Duan Jian, as soon as the envoy arrived, he would get the highest courtesy from the entire Hui tribe, but the situation is stronger than people, and now in the entire Northern Xinjiang Grassland, the most powerful is not the Anbei Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty, but the Turks.

One side is the power that has sunset, the other side is the force that is thriving, and the force that is about to be overwhelmed by a large army, as long as you are not a fool, you know how to choose, in the Central Plains, in the more realistic grassland, this law of the jungle is even more so.

Therefore, if you want to change the choice of returning to the sky, not to mention that it is as difficult as climbing to the sky, I am afraid it is not much easier than Yugong moving mountains.

Shen Rou's sudden summons, in addition to making Duan Jian feel surprised, but there was a glimmer of hope, for tonight's meeting, Duan Jian made a lot of preparations in advance, that is, he hoped to get the hope of that county.

Pushing open the tent door, Duan Jian walked into the big tent filled with the sound of flowers and the warm moisture.

Seeing this big tent full of flowers, Duan Jian was stunned for a moment, and then returned to normal.

"I have friends from afar, and I don't want to say that Duan Changshi is not only a friend, but also a native of my hometown, and when I see it today, I miss it deeply!"

A voice sounded, and Duan Jian was a little distracted just now, and quickly pulled him back.

Looking at the woman kneeling behind the desk not far away, dressed in a white light fur and covered with a veil on her face, Duan Jian hurriedly looked shocked, and saluted respectfully, "Xiaguan Datang Anbei Protector History, Duan Jian pays a visit to Ke Dun." ”

"Duan Changshi is about to be exempted, today I can see the 'poetry saint' side of the world, it is really my three lives lucky, hurry, Duan Changshi hurry up and sit down!" Shen Rou said softly.

"Then thank you Koldun."

Although Shen Rou looked extremely polite, Duan Jian knew that the woman in front of her was definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp, from a down-and-out lady of a big family who fled to Northern Xinjiang, with her own ability, she became the Khotun of the Hui Khan, a large tribe in the entire Northern Xinjiang, and then relied on her own strong wrist to help the Hui tribe gradually grow, and then assisted her son to come to power, and controlled the woman of a huge tribe in one fell swoop. The only person who can compare with him is Wu Zetian, the empress who controls the world in Luoyang Palace now.

"I don't know what you have to do with the conditions of thousands of miles to come back and forth to the Fu tribe." seemed to know that Duan Jian was not a foolish person, so after Duan Jian sat down, Shen Rou went straight to the point.

"Returning to Ke Dun, it's not a secret, this time the lower officials came to represent the Tang Dynasty to unite the Hui and many tribes on the grassland, to resist the Turkic army together, Ke Dun also knows that since the Turkic Ashina Gu Duo Lu raised troops a few years ago, it has been crazy to expand around, swallowing countless tribes, its wolf ambitions, the world knows, and now they are pointing the finger at the Tiele tribes, if we don't unite, I'm afraid the next tribe to be destroyed by them is ........."

Duan Jian stopped when he said this, but the meaning of the words had already been expressed.

"Yes, what Duan Changshi said is good, the wolf ambitions of the Turks are known to the world, but I don't know, what does this matter have to do with your Datang, the Turks can have the current strength, it is not all caused by your Datang people, if you send a large army to exterminate the Turks earlier, how can there be this scene, besides, you want to unite us to stop the Turks now, I don't know how you can unite, now the Tang Dynasty does not have many troops in the northern grasslands, and the defense is not enough, It is impossible to take the initiative to attack the Turks. Shen Rou is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and there is a bit of irony in her words.

"What Ke Dun said is good, now my Datang is indeed insufficient in the northern territory, it is difficult to form enough power against the Turkic army, Ke Dun don't forget, my Datang is strong after all, in this northern Xinjiang, there are countless tribes willing to obey my Datang, as long as my Datang has a summoning order, not to mention anything else, there are still tens of thousands of troops, when the time comes, as long as we unite together, flank the Turkic army before and after, and exterminate the Turks, it is also very possible."

"Poof."

Hearing Duan Jian's righteous answer, Shen Rou couldn't help but smile and said, don't look at Duan Jian's ease, as if he can pull up an army of tens of thousands of people in the blink of an eye, in fact, this is also his bragging, if it is the Tang Dynasty in its heyday, with an order, it is indeed normal to be able to gather countless grassland tribes and tens of thousands of troops, but now, the Anbei Protectorate has moved south, and the Tang Dynasty's power on the grassland is extremely weak, and the tribes on the grassland are extremely realistic, so let them fight for a force that is not beneficial, to offend the Turkic giant, no one will do such a stupid thing.

"Why, Kedun doesn't believe it."

Duan Jian still said calmly.

When he said this, Duan Jian did not have the slightest intention of being weak, this was what Xi Shoucheng once told him, when he was talking to Xi Shoucheng, Xi Shoucheng had revealed to him that the Anbei Protectorate did seem to be weak at present, but it was not without the power to fight, after all, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, not to mention that the entire Tang Dynasty was still in the rising stage. ，

In the entire northern frontier, there are many tribes and forces that want to get in touch with the Tang Dynasty, and Xi Shoucheng has also made countless efforts over the years to hide countless forces, which is why he said that if he launches it now, there is still a chance to save the decline of northern Xinjiang.

And this is also the main confidence of Duan Jian to come back and forth for negotiations this time.

Seeing Duan Jian's serious face, without the slightest embarrassment after being poked by herself, Shen Rou also put away her smile, and doubts rose in her heart.

"Could it be that what he said is really not true, but how is this possible, now the entire northern grassland land, occupied by the Turks, except for our Tiele tribes, there are no other tribes that dare to go against the Turks, where did he gather the army, but, looking at him, it doesn't look like he is lying, although the Anbei Protectorate is in decline, but he still has the support of the Tang Dynasty behind him, besides, the Anbei Protectorate has been standing on the grassland for decades, there must be some old bottoms, could it be that he can really gather tens of thousands of troops, If that's the case, it's much better to deal with the Turkic army, and even if it can't destroy the Turks, at least it will make the Turks dare not be so arrogant, and we can return to the days of peace. ”

Just when Shen Rou was thinking about his heart, Duan Jian didn't speak, just did it quietly, but he was thinking about how to unite with Hui Hui this time, if Hui Hui still chose to sign an agreement with the Turks in the end, he would probably be really difficult to curb the rise of the Turks.

"What Duan Changshi said is too important, I am just a woman, these things still have to be decided by the Great Khan and the elders of the tribe, it is over, please go back and rest first, and when there is definite news, I will inform Duan Changshi."

Looking at Shen Rou's appearance, Duan Jian also knew that it was impossible to gain anything tonight, so he nodded and said, "In this way, Xia Guan will go back first, and as for the matter of the union, please think carefully about it." ”

Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for support
