Chapter 4: Calm the Down
In accordance with the emperor's supreme instructions, the five members of the cabinet issued an ultimatum to the Turki Khan overnight. This article is better than Yuan Shao's crusade against Cao Cao, and Tu Li, who received the ultimatum, can clearly feel the anger behind it.
Regardless of whether the Turki Khan was a man of good warfare, he was not a man of choice and was not a man of choice, and he was a man with a low tolerance for consequences. In other words, Cheng can't stand the blow, and he doesn't have a bit of hegemony.
"Didn't you say that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would definitely let people come to discuss, why did this come in the end?" Tuli Khan asked, pointing to a white-haired old man under his hand.
This old man is unusual among ordinary people, and this person is still a spy. Zhao Deyan was the person who was placed by Tuli's side a long time ago, but he has not been taken seriously. Because Jieli Khan was suppressed by various tribes, Zhao Deyan leaked several innocuous battle news to the old man, helping the old man ascend to the position of the chief "dog-head" military advisor of Tuli.
This time's strategy was taught to him by Zhao Deyan, and the purpose was nothing more than this result. With the help of the Tang Dynasty's army to destroy Tuli, without this strongest rebel army, Jieli Khan can restore his rule in the shortest time.
"Great Khan, as long as we are tough to the end, Datang will never dare to do anything to us. The eldest grandson Wuji's fat man is the eldest brother of Princess Qin of the Tang Dynasty, and he is also an imperial prince, and the Tang Emperor will not let him die. Even if the Tang Emperor didn't care, Li Shimin, the King of Qin, couldn't let it go. At this time, the Great Khan must hold on. This old man did not discount at all, and followed Zhao Deyan's instructions to advise the Tuli Khan and the Tang Dynasty to fight to the death.
"Persistence? How many people have died over the past year or so? How do you still make Ben Khan hold on, you damn thing. It's time to arrest you and sacrifice you to the Tang Emperor to appease his anger. "What the Turki Khan said is also angry, if he really treats his subordinates like this, it will not be long before the gang is dispersed, who is still with him!
The old man said impassionedly: "Great Khan, the cannon and the explosives package will sooner or later become a disaster that will destroy us, and we must get it." It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and you can't miss it. ”
The explosive bag became famous in a battle against Jieli Khan, and the cannon became famous when it was against Li Shimin. These two weapons not only worried Tuli, but also some small countries in Tibet and the Western Regions.
Tu Li thought about it carefully and said: "The danger in the future is still invisible, the knife in front of me is about to reach the neck, hurry up and find a way to fool this matter, don't anger Datang." The new emperor Li Chengzong, but he even slaughtered his own uncle. ”
When the old man saw the performance of the Turi Khan, he thought that if he continued, he might not succeed, but would anger him.
"Then arrest a few Tibetans and say that they did it. Then kill them, and then let the eldest grandson Wuji and Wang Xiaohu go. In this way, the prestige of the Great Khan was not lost, and the Tang Dynasty could not find an excuse to blame, and they would vent their anger on the heads of the Tubo people. ”
"Your idea is good, but if you do this, it will anger the Tibetans, will they find trouble!" Tuli asked.
"Don't worry, the Great Khan is not adjacent to Tibet, they must cross the border of the Tang Dynasty if they want to come, they don't have the courage to do so."
"That's right, do what you say immediately, catch a few more Tubo, and kill them directly." Tuli hurriedly urged.
The eldest grandson Wuji and Wang Xiaohu were arrested inexplicably, and they were released again a few days later.
"Hurry up, maybe Tuli will change his mind again after a while." Wang Xiaohu said.
"But I haven't received Ashina Yun this time! How will I explain it when I go back?" The eldest grandson Wuji is not like Wang Xiaohu, the slightest mistake may be an excuse for being slaughtered.
Wang Xiaohu said: "Dead Brain Sutra, you don't care about this matter, if you have any blame when you go back, I will bear it for you."
The eldest grandson Wuji actually didn't believe that Wang Xiaohu would really be able to bear it for him, but it was dangerous to stay here at the moment, so he ran back to Chang'an with Wang Xiaohu. Tuli also said that he would bring them back to comfort them, and when he asked the people below, he actually ran away.
The envoy of Tuli chased all the way, but fortunately, he caught up with the eldest grandson Wuji and Wang Xiaohu, and entered Chang'an with them.
Li Chengzong first sent the envoy of Tuli in a few words.
"Your Majesty, that Tuli is a guy who turns his face and doesn't recognize people, thinking that His Majesty took such good care of him at the beginning, he actually dared to detain the people sent by His Majesty." Wang Xiaohu said.
"Don't mention it, the person has also been released, and he personally sent someone to explain." Li Chengzong felt that this matter was not a loss, and if the Turks dared to blame the Tubo people, it would prove that there was no direct relationship between them, and the Turks would already be in chaos.
The eldest grandson Wuji heard a lot of news from the mouths of the Tuli envoys all the way, and knew better than Wang Xiaohu what was going on, in the ten or twenty days that they were imprisoned.
"Your Majesty, the ambition of the wolf son of the Turki Khan is certain. He was just a temptation this time, and if he was spared so easily, I was afraid that he would be even more aggressive in the future. The eldest grandson Wuji said.
Wang Xiaohu was imprisoned for a few days, full of fire, and when he heard the words of the eldest grandson, he felt quite reasonable.
"Your Majesty, Lord Eldest Sun is right! Before he became the master of the grassland, he dared to do this. If he really occupies the grassland, I am afraid that it will be a big trouble for our Datang. Wang Xiaohu echoed.
Li Chengzong saw Wang Xiaohu say this, and he especially wanted to smoke him, and he was locked up for a few days and even lost the ability to observe words and expressions, stupid.
"Okay, the two of you are tired this time, rest in Chang'an for two days and then go back! Let's go down first!" Li Chengzong also sent them down.
Raising tigers? When Lao Tzu's firearms army is formed, the elephant has to lie down for Lao Tzu.
When the eldest grandson Wuji arrived at the palace of King Qin, he saw King Qin and said: "Li Chengzong has no intention of moving troops, and there is no sign of joining forces with Tubo in Tuli, and the two sides have a surprising tacit understanding."
"Don't worry, this is just the beginning, Li Chengzong can't bear it for a while. With his character of retribution, it won't take long for him to start annexing the Turks, so let's just wait and see what happens. Li Shimin seems to say that he knows Li Chengzong very well.
"I'm afraid it won't, Wang Xiaohu's advice today was rejected by him without giving any face, will he do this?"
Li Shimin said: "There is such a thing as power, when you don't have it, you want it, and if you get a little, you will want to get more." We can't be in a hurry, we have to wait for him to control the greed in his heart. ”
Honestly, the eldest grandson Wuji really couldn't see that Li Chengzong had plans to make a big move and conquer the Turks. However, Li Shimin said this, and he was not easy to refute. On the one hand, he hoped that Li Shimin was right, and on the other hand, he hoped that he was wrong, in short, he was very entangled. (To be continued.) )
