Chapter 397: Conspiracy and Compromise (3)
After the father and son of the great chief of the Xi tribe returned to their own tribe, Mahatulu said to his father:
"Abba! Sarina and Wu Lizhen are innocent, isn't it a bit ...... for the Queen Mother to do this?"
"Maha Tulou, don't talk nonsense, you must know that the Queen Mother Kedun represents the Khan of Lingli. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ infoOur Xi tribe has the smallest strength in the Monan grassland, even if we have the help of General Liu Wuzhou later, our strength has temporarily increased, but compared to other southern Mo tribes, our strength is still weaker, plus our Mo Nan tribe has always acted together on the surface, secretly competing, if we stand up for Sarina and Wu Lizhen, it is likely to offend the Lili Khan, and other tribes, even if the Khitan, Jin, Xia and other tribes do not oppose us for the sake of relatives, Xue Yantuo and the Tiele Qibi Department will definitely be the first to intervene and wipe out our Xi tribe from the Monan grassland. β
"But......" The eyes of the big chief of the Xi tribe became stern, and the young head of the Xi tribe, Ma Hatulou, immediately stopped making a sound. The big chief of the Xi tribe looked at his son, and felt in his heart that this son was still a little naΓ―ve - Mahatulou had the coolness of the grassland people, but lacked the conspiracy of the grassland people's survival. For the preservation and survival of the tribe, there are some things that have to be abandoned. At the beginning, the great shaman of the Xi tribe directly threatened the great chief of the Xi tribe for the sake of Ayina, and in order to protect the whole clan, the great chief of the Xi tribe had to give up his own son. Now, there is only Sarina and Wu Lizhen who can be sacrificed. The big chief of the Xi tribe shook his head, and the young head of the Xi tribe, Mahatulou, saw his father shaking his head, so he asked his father:
"Abba, what are you shaking your head for? Isn't it a child?"
"Oh! Nothing? Maha Tulou! Abba knows that you have some feelings for General Liu Wuzhou and Sarina and Wu Lizhen. So be it! The funerals of General Liu Wuzhou, Sarina, and Wu Lizhen will be handled by you, and General Liu Wuzhou, Sarina, and Wu Lizhen will be buried together in the Central Plains. It's also your friendship with General Liu Wuzhou! β
"Yes! Abba! Go ahead and do it! "Looking at the back of Maha Tulou in the distance, the big chief of the tribe shook his head again - 'Maha Tulou! You're still too young, you don't know what the Queen Mother Kedun means. This matter ends here, and it is borrowing the heads of Sarina and Wu Lizhen as a deterrent. Also, don't underestimate the woman Queen Mother Kedun, this woman can change from the former Sui Dynasty to the Queen Mother Khan of Lili Khan, which shows her scheming, and its use of the textile technology of the Central Plains to collect hemp on the grassland to make linen, to make up for the lack of our fur, and now we are the linen supplier on the grassland of Monan, not to be underestimated! (According to historical records, Empress Xiao was the great-granddaughter of Xiao Tong, the prince of Zhaoming of the Liang Dynasty, the daughter of Xiao Yue, the emperor of Xiaoming of the Western Liang Dynasty, and the mother of Empress Zhang, a native of Nanlanling - a native of Wansui Township, Wujin, Changzhou.) Xiao was born in February, and because Jiangnan customs considered children born in February to be unlucky, they were adopted by Xiao Yue's sixth brother, Xiao Qi, the king of Dongping. Less than a year after the adoption of the Shaw family, the couple passed away. Xiao was then adopted by his uncle Zhang Ke. Although Zhang Ke was a subordinate of Xiao Yan, the king of Anping, his family was poor, so the Xiao family, who was a princess, also worked hard for housework. So the editor of my brain opened, thinking that since the Empress Dowager Xiao has been working with housework since she was a child, and she is a person from the south of the Yangtze River, in the Western Han Dynasty, Jiangnan textile technology is the first in China, so I will definitely weave, so I made up the Empress Dowager Xiao She used the textile technology of the Central Plains to collect hemp on the grassland to make linen, making up for the lack of fur in the southern grassland, just a novel, make it up, don't mind the officials! After his son left, the chief of the Xi tribe thought alone - through this incident, our Xi tribe and Xue Yantuo tribe have reached the point of endless death, and since the original rebellion against the Turks, they have torn their faces with the Turkic Khanate, and it seems that we must find a way out.
The headquarters of the Xue Yantuo tribe, the big leader of Xue Yantuo, Yi Nan, was also thinking about this problem, and besieged Xue Yantuo's camp through the soldiers and horses of the Khitan, Jian, Tiele, Xi, Xi and other tribes, and they all kept saying that they killed Liu Wuzhou, coupled with the sudden intervention of the Empress Dowager Xiao, the big leader of Xue Yantuo, Yi Nan, didn't think this was a good intention-'It must be the great wizard of the Turkic Khan's court who revealed the news to the Khitan, Jian, Telle tribes, Xi, Xia and other tribes in advance, it seems that we Xue Yantuo want to continue to gain a foothold in the grassland, We have to find another master. At this moment, the Grand Wizard of Xue Yantuo, Anbal Tuna, pushed open the curtain and entered:
"Great Chief, there is a distinguished guest who asks to see you!"
"Hmmm! Guest!? Invite him in. "When the Great Wizard of Xue Yantuo, Anbal Tunna, brought that person in. I just love you, and the person who dresses up as a herdsman in Xue Yantuo's headquarters.
"I wonder where the guest is from?"
"Di Renjie, a subordinate official of the East Palace of the Tang Prince, see the great leader of Xue Yantuo, I wish the great leader Jun An!"
"Oh! It's a subordinate official of Prince Li Jiancheng's East Palace, please take a seat! "The great chief of Xue Yantuo, Yinan, instructed Anbal Tuna:
"Anbal Tuna, you go outside the tent and don't let anyone disturb us." Anbal Tuna promised:
"Master Di, you said that you are the person of Li Jiancheng, the prince of Li Tang, what evidence do you have?" Di Renjie took out a token from his body - the front side said the East Palace subordinate official, and the reverse side had the word Di. The great leader of Xue Yantuo, Yi Nan, threw the token aside:
"Huh! This adult, this thing, doesn't mean anything? Di Renjie smiled:
"The great leader is really more cautious than courageous! Since the big leader thinks that Zai Xia is a liar, then Zai Xia will take his leave first. I went to find the Khitan, Yao, Tiele, Xi, Xi and other tribes, I believe that there are many people who are willing to do business with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the big leader will not send it. β
"Huh! Master Di go slowly! After speaking, Di Renjie was about to walk outside. And Xue Yantuo's big leader Yi Nan didn't make any movement, Di Renjie slowly walked towards the door of the tent, Di Renjie was gambling, gambling whether Yi Nan could calm down, just when Di Renjie was about to walk out of the big tent, Xue Yantuo big leader Yi Nan opened his mouth and said:
"Wait!" Di Renjie stopped.
"Are you really a subordinate official of Li Jiancheng, the prince of Li Tang?"
"Why don't the big boss go to make a bet, send a person to Taiyuan to meet the prince with him, if the bet is right, the big leader's future income is not small!" Xue Yantuo's Grand Leader Yi Nan paused:
"Anbal Tuna, come in!" Anbar Tuna came in and saluted the chief of Xue Yantuo, Yi Nan.
"Anbal Tuna, you make arrangements, let this Di ...... Master Di went to rest. Although Di Renjie has an official position, he is still a young man with no hair on his mouth, so Xue Yantuo's big leader Yi Nan called Di Renjie an adult, and felt a little awkward. After Anbar Tuna settled Di Renjie, he walked into the camp of Yi Nan, the great leader of Xue Yantuo:
"Anbar Tuna, how did you know this Di Renjie?"
"The great leader of Qiyu, this person is a slave when he inquired about the news in the Turkic Khan's court, on the way back, he encountered the personal soldiers of Ashinas Mobi Special Service to intercept them, and the slave wanted to kill them, but this Han man said that he was a subordinate official of Prince Li Tang, and hoped to contact the big leader through the recommendation of the slave." As he spoke, Anbar Tuna looked at the face of the great leader of Xue Yantuo, Yi Nan, the great leader of Xue Yantuo did not speak, and Anbar Tuna thought that he had angered the great leader of Xue Yantuo, Yi Nan. Kneel down immediately and plead guilty:
"The minion is ineffective, please punish the big chief!" The Great Leader of Xue Yantuo, Yi Nan, did not punish the Great Wizard of Anbar Tuna.
"Humph! In this matter, even Lord Ashina Simobi Special Service intervened. Are you sure you're a soldier of the Ashinas Mobi Special Service? β
"Big Chief, the minion is sure!"
"Anbal Tuna, this leader has something for you to do!"
"Please, the Great Chief!"
"Tomorrow night, you and this Lord Di will secretly set off and go to Taiyuan to meet Li Jiancheng, the prince of Li Tang, remember, our conditions, I must become the supreme Great Khan of this grassland!" We must become the overlord of this grassland. Anbar Tuna knelt down and said yes.
The headquarters of the Xi tribe, the big head of the Xi tribe after a night of careful consideration, immediately found the young head of the Xi tribe, Maha Tulou:
"Maha Tulou, are the bodies of General Liu Wuzhou and Sarina and Wu Lizhen buried together?"
"Yes, Abba! The child has buried General Liu Wuzhou and Sarina and Wu Lizhen together, and imitated the customs of the Central Plains to set up graves and tombstones for General Liu Wuzhou, Sarina and Wu Lizhen. The big head of the Xi tribe nodded:
"Maha Tulou, now we have torn our faces with Xue Yantuo, although this time, Empress Dowager Xiao came forward and temporarily made our grassland temporarily calm, but now the entire Monan grassland is surging, I am afraid that this undercurrent will destroy the Xi tribe first."
"Abba! What do you want me to do? The big chief of the Xi tribe stroked the back of Maha Tulou:
"Maha Tulou, are you willing to die for the tribe?" Maha Tulou straightened his body.
"Abba! If the child is willing, ask Abba to take care of his grandchildren. "The big chief of the Xi tribe knew that Mahatulou would be wrong.
"Maha Tulou, you misunderstood. Abba wants you to go to the Central Plains to find a new backer for the tribe. β
"Abba! Now that the Central Plains is divided, I'm afraid it won't help our tribe much. The big chief of the Xi tribe smiled:
"Maha Tulou, now the Central Plains seems to be divided, but our grassland tribe still has not broken through the Great Wall, and the lessons of the past show that once the Central Plains is unified, the time will again point to the grassland, and the tone will be passive when the time comes, it is better to lean on it now. Once the bet is right, it is not certain that our Xi tribe will be able to dominate the grassland in the future. The big chief of the Xi tribe was full of red light because of his excitement.
