Chapter 219: Two Tigers Compete for Food
When he arrived at the Guogong Mansion, he learned that Qin Feng was meeting friends in the Zhonghua Building, and He Luohu rushed to the Zhonghua Building non-stop!
When he saw Qin Feng, Qin Feng was full of alcohol and was half-drunk and awake. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
And underground, there are wine jars piled up all over the ground.
Qin Feng seemed to be drinking vigorously, and as soon as he saw He Luohu, he pressed him to the table affectionately, and toasted him regardless of it.
It was like a hospitable host, shouting loudly.
In the middle of his staggering, a book snapped, fell from Qin Feng's body to the ground, and spread on the ground, the sharp-eyed He Luohu habitually looked at it, and suddenly, his eyes sharpened. He saw key words such as the word Yi Nan and land.
"Haha! This is an ordinary book! Drink and drink! Qin Feng picked it up and put it on his body.
He Luohu smelled the strong smell of wine, and had an idea in his heart, he picked up a wine jar very heroically, and said with a smile: "General Qin, thank you for your great kindness!" He Luohu did it first as a respect. ”
"Okay, refreshing! To you! Qin Feng was overjoyed, picked up a wine jar and drank it with him, although he said that he was toasting in his mouth, he drank it by himself in his hand.
You must know that when the wine reaches eight minutes, the interest is the highest, the amount of wine is the most luxurious, a jar to drink, than drinking water is more convenient, it is two catties, but at this moment you can drink another four catties.
At the time of the fourth altar, Qin Feng suddenly poured a jar of wine into his nose. Smack, the wine jar fell to the ground and fell apart! The man also shrank under the table.
He Luohu closed the door of the private room, helped Qin Feng up, and said, "General Qin, General Qin!" "Push and shove and fall to the ground again.
He Luohu gently put Qin Feng on the ground, opened the fold, looked back and forth, his face became serious, and he whispered: "What a king and eight calves, what a Yi man, in order to win over Li Tang, he actually made a bloody investment. Sold the Turks behind our backs! ”
The content on the fold is relatively simple, it is Qin Feng who analyzes and makes suggestions one by one for the conditions prescribed by Yi Nan, first of all, the war horses, cattle and sheep, which are slightly lower than Tuli in terms of the value of exchange, and secondly, the division of the territory, which is also clearly marked. After that, Yi Nan promised that when he won the throne of Khan, he would respect Li Shimin as the Khan of Heaven, and live as a courtier, and promised not to taste the tribute of horses, cattle, sheep, camels, mink, etc. every year, the number of which was often thousands, tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands. And all the Tang Dynasty needs to pay is to be able to stab Tuli in the back when he fights against Yi Nan.
After He Luohu finished reading quickly, he put the fold into Qin Feng's clothes, he was shocked into a sweat, and secretly congratulated himself on this trip, if he wasn't in a hurry to see Qin Feng, I'm afraid he wouldn't have seen such a confidential thing. At the same time, I also knew that the other two groups of Turkic envoys were as I thought, namely Jieli and Yinan, and Jieli Qin Feng was a passing mention in the recital, but it was just a suggestion that Jieli Wolf was ambitious and could never be supported. As for the problem between the Turks and Yi Nan, Qin Feng's suggestion is not to help each other when the conditions are equal, and to adopt the strategy of two tigers competing to eat, so as to consume the strategic resources and potential of the Turks, so that the Turks will always be in a state of division, so that it is more in line with the interests of the Tang Dynasty.
He Luohu only saw that his heart was cold, and he was so anxious that he found an excuse, explained it to the waiter outside the door, and returned to the post house with the two guards of the post house, and went to discuss with Ashina to form an association.
After confirming that He Luohu was gone, Qin Feng stood up with laughter, in order to perform this play well, he not only drank a few jars of fine wine, but also splashed a few jars of wine in the private room and clothes in advance, making the entire space overflowing with a rich aroma of wine. When He Luohu left, he knew that things were already going on. After waiting for about two moments, he changed into spare clothes and went to the palace on a business trip.
……
"What's the matter? Holohu! Ashina, who was sleeping soundly, opened his eyes and saw that it was He Luohu, and asked very unhappily, "Why did you come back so soon?" Found Qin Feng? ”
"Found it!" He Luohu told Ashina about everything he saw on the fold.
Ashina was startled, and said with a cold expression: "I have long known that Yi Nan, the king of the eight calves, is not a good thing. Before he defeated Jieli, he began to calculate that we are coming, no, I have to let my brother be on guard early. But Yi Nan didn't know that we had seen through his ambitions, and we didn't have to be afraid of him at all. As he spoke, Ashina's association rate became happy again.
Ashina shook his fists in celebration and laughed: "From the moment when King Jieli snatched the throne of King Khan from us, my eldest brother and I swore that we must take back the seat I deserve from him no matter what, and now Emperor Tang is willing to help, it is really a godsend." Moreover, you didn't know about Yi Nan'er's tricks, and my injury was worth it. ”
"Uncle, don't be too happy." He Luohu said in a deep voice: "This peep into the throne of the Khan is definitely not only the father Khan and Yi Nan, now including us, there are already three groups of people, but we and Yi Nan's conditions are relatively rich, and our strength can compete with Jieli, so it is our turn." I believe that when we compete for the throne with Yi Nan in the future, there will be people who will come to Datang to seek cooperation. ”
Ashina sighed: "Li Shimin is really amazing, I don't know if our knife can hurt him." ”
"Regardless of the final outcome, the only thing that is certain is that the Khan who is not a Turkic king must not." He continued: "So we can't trust the so-called allies too much now, the Tang Dynasty can support us to deal with Yi Nan against Jieli, and it can also support others to deal with us and Yi Nan. So we can only believe in interests. Profit is everything. Just like the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty can get a lot from us, they will not turn their backs on us before we lose their role, and we can also use them to strengthen us, and using each other is the long-term way. ”
Ashina said optimistically: "If you know the conditions of Yi Nan, then offer higher conditions than Yi Nan!" ”
He Luohu bowed his head and said: "I believe that the Tang Dynasty will not support a second Jieli, because a unified Turk will not do them any good, so they will definitely swing between us and Yi Nan, and leak the news of our alliance with Yi Nan to force us to fight to the death." Now we not only have to increase the conditions, but also really fulfill, after going back, let the father Khan prepare, after the three of us defeated Jieli Xiao'er, we will do our best to attack the Yi Nan Division, so that Yi Nan Xiao Er will be defeated, for a while, the Tang Dynasty can not find a force that can compete with us, unless they are determined to confront us directly, otherwise, we can only let us become a unique force on the grassland. In this way, we will have the opportunity to regain the land that was ceded out. The Tang Dynasty wanted to use the strategy of two tigers to eat each other, so we used lightning speed to destroy the other tiger. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Ashina asked with a look on his face, "What does it mean that there are two tigers eating together?" ”
He Luohu sighed and said: "This is an allusion of the Tang people a long time ago, saying that Cao Cao welcomed the Han Dynasty and set the capital of Xuchang, and Lu Bu was defeated and retreated to Liu Bei, Cao Cao was worried that Liu Bei would gradually become stronger, so he used this strategy to use the position of Xuzhou Mu to induce Liu Bei and Lu Bu to kill each other, if it succeeded, Liu Bei would have less support from Lu Bu, and even if it was unsuccessful, Lu Bu would kill Liu Bei in turn. So much so that the two can no longer be of one mind. In a word, "two tigers competing for food" is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and the fisherman profits. A mountain can not tolerate two tigers, two tigers fight, there will be dead and wounded, so that you can profit from it, afterwards just as Cao Cao thought, Lu Bu and Liu Bei fought both defeated, Liu Bei was defeated and retreated, Cao Cao sent troops in a big way, and annihilated Lu Bu who lost his strength in one fell swoop. In order not to become a weakened Lu Bu, the only thing we can do is to kill Yi Nan and his cronies when he is unprepared. ”
Ashina understood the content of the story and suddenly realized: "I see, it seems that it is still very useful for you to learn Han culture!" ”
Seeing that this barbaric uncle, who had always opposed his study of Sinology, had admitted what he had learned, he couldn't help but feel a little fluttering, after all, he was a teenager, and no matter how old he was, he couldn't help but praise it.
"That's exactly what it means!" He Luohu nodded affirmatively, and said a little sarcastically: "Uncle, the Han culture has more than 5,000 years, and there are many experiences worth learning from us, even if we Turks don't use it, but if we are proficient, we will not suffer a big loss when dealing with the Tang Dynasty in the future, this is the so-called: know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles." ”
Ashina asked, "Now, we already know a lot of secrets, what do you say we should do now?" ”
He Luohu gritted his teeth and said: "I have to admit that this time let the Tang Dynasty seize our weakness, Father Khan once said that this trip will be arranged by us, even if it is a minister, it doesn't matter!" We might as well offer more favorable terms than Yi Nan, don't they want land? Rather than this, it is better to cede to the Tang Dynasty, let these countries consume the strength of the Tang Dynasty, and when we have the strength, we will unite them and highlight the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty from the east, north and west. I will enter the palace to ask to see the Tang Emperor and re-propose our generous conditions. ”
They never dreamed that the twists and turns He Luohu saw were not Yi Nan's meaning at all, but a script directed and acted by Qin Feng and made up by himself.
Here Qin Feng deliberately set a trap, he knew that He Luohu admired the culture of the Tang Dynasty very much, and his level was not low, he must know that Cao Cao was such a character. Therefore, the successful use of this strategy deliberately uses 'two tigers competing for food' as an example to indicate the purpose of Datang. Let them believe that cutting land and paying tribute is the wisest decision, let them think that the "Yi Nan" Khan can do anything for the sake of the Khan, and think that Qin Feng's various analyses are very beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, so as to ignore the most important point: the real reason for Cao Cao's success is not his 'two tigers competing for food' plan, but Lu Bu's ambition and bravery, soft ears, and no opinions!
