Chapter 148: The Messenger of the Silk Country
The news of the arrival of the envoy of the Silk Country was somewhat unexpected, but he was glad that Timeng had not left Dragon City and rushed to the front line at this moment, otherwise he would have rashly agreed to the other party without being sure of the purpose behind the Silk Country, which would have caused unnecessary losses.
This time, the envoy sent by the country of silk is Sima Lu Mingxian, the protector of the northern land, which is somewhat good news, Lu Mingxian himself and Gao Dingbian have a certain degree of good impression of Hesa, and Hesa once saved Gao Dingbian's life on the battlefield.
In order to show friendship and respect for the envoys of the Silk Country, Hesa made the welcoming ceremony very grand. However, judging from Lu Mingxian's face, he was not interested in this kind of face project, and when Hesa asked him about his intentions, he respectfully took out the holy decree from his bosom and unfolded it, and then said loudly: "Long live my emperor, I hope to be able to sign a further friendship treaty with the Great Khan of Tuqi, and I hope that the Great Khan can complete this matter." ”
Hesa looked at Temon, who was sitting beside him, before asking, "I don't know what kind of proposal His Majesty the Emperor of your country has, but if both sides can benefit from it, I will not refuse your country's proposal." ”
Lu Mingxian nodded and said, "Don't worry, this Great Khan, since our dynasty has concluded an alliance with your country, it is natural that we will not do anything that goes against the interests of your country." Long live our Emperor I hope that your country will end the chaotic situation of secession and complete its unification as soon as possible, and to this end our country can do everything in its power to provide all the help it can give, and strive to exterminate all the forces opposing the Great Khan in the shortest possible time. ”
"It's really interesting," at this time, Timeng opened his mouth: "The emperor of your country suddenly made such a request, although my country really hopes to end the war and complete the reunification as soon as possible, but I can't see the reason for your country's request, can you ask Lord Lu to make it clear?" ”
Lu Mingxian looked at him and said, "Master Timeng doesn't need to worry, I'm about to explain the previous paragraph." The Great Khan knew that our country made such a request was only a condition, and our country naturally had reciprocal needs in exchange. ”
Hesa laughed and said, "Well, then what are the conditions of your country?" ”
"It's very simple, after our country helps Tuqi complete the unification, if our country goes to war with other countries, I hope that the Great Khan will be able to send troops to help in the war."
When Hesa heard this, he looked at Themon and knew that this condition of the Silk Kingdom contained many intentions. First of all, it shows that the Silk Country will break out into war with a powerful enemy in the near future, and this enemy is even more powerful than the unified Tuqi. Although the Turki were mired in chaos after Abicheril's death, and even now the unification could no longer be the main threat to the Silk Country, the military power and fierce folk customs of the Turch on the mainland, as well as the strength strengthened by the practical reforms of Timun, would inevitably make the Turchy rise again ten years later, and it was for this reason that the Silk Country tried to delay the date of the real unification of the Silky Nation while helping Hesa. Now that the Silk Country had suddenly made a 180-degree turn, it was evident that the threat to it from the enemy it was about to face had far exceeded the level of the Turbidity.
But who is this enemy? The country of silk is strong enough to be proud of the others, not to mention the current Tuqi, even the Tuqi in its heyday cannot compete with it, so Tubo in the southwest is no problem. As for the Wa Kingdom in the east, or the many barbarian countries in the southwest, they are not even qualified to be measured on the scales and the Silk Country, so the only possibility is Paz, who has occupied the trade routes. The problem is that after the civil strife, the national strength of Paz is certainly much greater than that of Tuqi, and the combat ability of its army can be said to be on par with Tuqi, but these Paz armies alone are still not the opponents of the Silk Country, at least not a powerful enemy that the Silk Country needs to deal with with so vigorously.
Hesa couldn't figure out who this enemy country of Silk was, so he naturally looked at Timon with an inquiring gaze. It's a pity that this time Temon's mind is almost the same as him, and Teemon can't figure out who this non-existent enemy country is, but one thing is certain, cooperation with the Silk Country is almost inevitable. Because if such a powerful enemy really exists, then the country of silk is obviously not sure that it will be able to win, in case the country of silk is really defeated, the Tuqi that has not yet recovered its national strength will definitely not be the opponent of such a country, so it is a more prudent choice to unite against the enemy; If you can help the Silk Country win this war, then the Silk Country will definitely be greatly consumed in this destined hard war, and then for Tuqi, the gap with the Silk Country will also be narrowed, which is also beneficial to Tuqi's recuperation and future development. On the other hand, if the offer of the Silk Country is rejected, then the Silk Country is likely to conclude an alliance with Chereel instead, because it does not matter to the Silk Country who the owner of the Mobei Grassland is, as long as it does not become a threat to itself during the war. But in that case, Hesa will face a situation of attacking from the north and the south, and the strategic pattern and situation that he has carefully conceived and fighting well will also be ruined.
Thinking of this, Themon looked at Hesa with an affirmative look.
Hesa comprehended, so he turned his head to Lu Mingxian and said, "Lord Lu, please reply to Your Majesty the Emperor of your country, I, Hesa, am willing to accept your country's proposal." I hereby swear to the Immortal Heaven that if your country can help me sweep away the enemy and complete the unification, then when your country faces the threat of war, Tuqi will definitely lend a helping hand and do everything in its power to defeat the common enemy with your country. ”
Lu Mingxian gave a deep salute and said, "Thank you to the Great Khan for understanding the righteousness, long live my emperor will definitely be happy when he hears this good news." By the way, the Lord of the Northland has already gathered 60,000 foot cavalry and a large amount of baggage equipment, and after your country has signed a treaty, he will march north to support the great cause of your country's reunification. ”
It seems that the country of silk is really in a hurry. Hesa reaffirmed this in his heart. Regardless of who the enemy behind the Silk Country was, at least their attitude was much better now than the previous secret troublemakers.
At this time, Lu Mingxian had already handed over the national letter, and Hesa read it from beginning to end - although there were not enough characters in the Silk Country that Hesa knew, this national script was relatively concise and to the point, and Hesa could understand it completely. To be on the safe side, he asked Timon to read it again, and only after confirming that it was correct did he put his seal on it.
