A bonfire dinner, not a joy for the guests and hosts, ended hastily.

The weather is very cold, and the attraction of roast mutton is limited after all, and Xie Yi basically has no appetite after tasting it.

And whether it is Yi Nan or the envoys of other countries, there is no common topic, rather than being a snake, it is better to go back to the camp and sleep well.

So when Yi Nan announced the end of the dinner, Xie Yi got up as soon as possible and walked away in the angry eyes of Gaochang's envoys.

Go back to sleep and have a good dream, maybe I can see Du Xijun and Zheng Liwan in my dreams.

Xie Yi slept peacefully, but many people couldn't sleep.

After returning to the sweat tent, Zhenzhu Khan Yinan paced back and forth, as if something was disturbing him. After a long time, Yi Nan said in a deep voice: "Go and invite guests!" ”

"Yes!"

The butter and wax in the sweat tent shone brightly, and a slightly obscene man was led over by the attendants, if Sun Wukai was here, he would definitely recognize this person as Ashina's association rate.

"I've seen Xue Yantuo Khan!" Ashina's association rate seems to be obscene, but his speech is sonorous and powerful, and he is not even humble or arrogant in front of Yi Nan, which is very different from his current identity and situation.

Yi Nan also seemed to be a little surprised, probably thinking that Ashina's reaction to the association rate was unexpected, and muttered; "How? How are you doing these days? ”

"Blessing to the Khan, you eat well and sleep well in your ministry these days, and you don't have to worry about someone chasing and killing, and you still have the beauties of your ministry at night, how can it be bad?"

Ashina talked eloquently, seemingly a satisfactory compliment, but there were vague complaints between them, and there was a sour feeling.

Of course, Yi Nan could hear the meaning, and said in a low voice: "What? Ben Khan didn't summon you in time, so he was dissatisfied? ”

"Don't dare. I, an ethnic group of the dead country, how dare I be dissatisfied with Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Khan? Ashina's expression was obviously unpleasant.

"Hmph, okay, sit down and talk, no matter what, you are the grandson of the Turkic king in the past, for the sake of the face of the Turki Khan. Ben Khan has to give you some face. ”

It has been some time since Ashina fled to the grassland, and at the earliest, he found the second prince Tu Lisu, and then introduced him to Zhenzhu Khan Yinan.

But Yi Nan didn't see him at the first time, and he hung it for a long time, maybe he was out of some political considerations. But in the eyes of Ashina's association rate, this is Yi Nan's deliberate snub and even humiliation of him.

"It's not easy for the Pearl Khan to sit down and talk to me!" Ashina Association rate complained on the side. Take a seat on one side.

Yi Nan was also generous, and he was not dissatisfied with these rude behaviors, and said in a calm tone: "Okay, what do you want to say to Ben Khan?" ”

"Say what? What does Khan want to hear from me? ”

"Hmph, Tu Lishu told Ben Khan that you failed to assassinate Li Shimin in Chang'an, and you were chased and killed all the way to the grassland." Yi Nan said quietly: "Ben Khan is curious, why did you assassinate Li Shimin?" ”

"Why do you want to assassinate?" Ashina said coldly: "My Turk was destroyed by him Li Tang. Isn't the hatred of destroying the country enough? ”

Yi Nan sneered: "Really? Then why didn't you fight back and not stab in the first place? After obediently being a citizen for a few years, he remembered to destroy the country's hatred. If I'm not mistaken, there were many bloody men in your Ashina department who would rather die than give in, but you were not among them. ”

Ashina's face changed slightly, obviously a little embarrassed.

"Don't say anything about holding back, waiting for the right time or something, there's no need to hide it like this in front of Ben Khan. In the words of the Han people, it is better to open the skylight and speak brightly! ”

Under Yi Nan's gaze, Ashina finally spat out: "At the beginning, Jieli was strong, your department was a victim, and my brother Tuli was also a victim. Only then did it have to unite with the Don Army.

After the war, Li Shimin treated us well, but with the death of his brother and the gradual stabilization of the grassland, Li Shimin felt that he didn't need us anymore, so he used the usual tricks of the Han people, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, unloading the mill and killing the donkey. ”

"Cross the river and tear down the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey!" Yi Nan retold these words softly, and seemed to be quite insightful.

"Not really!" Ashina looked at Yi Nan bluntly, and said leisurely: "If I remember correctly, Li Shimin also borrowed the bridge of Xue Yantuo at the beginning......"

"Li Shimin wants to demolish the bridge?"

"If he can dismantle the Turks, why can't he dismantle Xue Yantuo? What's more, your department's strength and profit today are not too much to make at the beginning, can Li Shimin rest assured? Ashina said leisurely: "You know what the Han people have always done, you don't need me to say more, right?" ”

"I, Xue Yantuo, may not be afraid of him Li Shimin."

"I believe this, with Xue Yantuo's strength today, who can easily provoke it?" Ashina said: "But has the Khan considered whether he can coexist peacefully with the Tang Dynasty?"

When I was in Chang'an, I often heard the Han people say that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. If I'm not mistaken, is your name as the Pearl Khan still sealed by Li Shimin? ”

Yi Nan said vigilantly: "Are you trying to provoke Benhan and help you take revenge on the Turks?" ”

"No, there are Ashina Simo and Stubborn Sili, the Turks in the east don't remember any deep hatred, how can they say revenge?"

Ashina said: "Even if you want to take revenge, it should be more appropriate to find the Turks under the Tianshan Mountains than to find Xue Yantuo, right?" I just want to tell the Khan with the blood and tears of the Turks that Xue Yantuo must not repeat the mistakes of the past. ”

Yi Nan was silent when he heard this, although Ashina did not admit it, but his intention to use Xue Yantuo was obvious, and the fool understood it.

But sometimes, being taken advantage of is not necessarily a bad thing, and the first thing to see is whether it is beneficial to you. I have to admit that today's Xue Yantuo is very powerful, but it is also full of dangers.

The most powerful enemy must be the Tang Dynasty in the south Undoubtedly, Li Shimin is now more and more wary of himself, not long ago he received news that Ashina Simo once again called Khan, and led his troops to be stationed on both sides of the Yellow River, what is the purpose?

Isn't it just to beware of Xue Yantuo, and let Ashina Sima use his prestige to attract the people of the grassland to join him, so as to disintegrate Xue Yantuo's strong situation!

If it was before, it would have been enough to be able to share the same level with the Turks and jointly control this steppe. However, once you have tasted the taste of dominating the grassland with a dominant family, where can you easily give up such honors and ambitions and share the soup with others?

In the face of Datang's step-by-step approach, either sit back and wait, or ...... As Ashina said, maybe it's time to put some thought into fighting for the survival of the tribe.

However, can it be overcome?

Thinking of the defeat of such a powerful Jieli to the Tang army back then, and the scene where Li Jing and Li Ji led their troops to gallop across the grassland and have a strong army, Yi Nan couldn't help but feel a little worried. (To be continued......)
