It is not only Yi Nan who is "excited", it takes courage to receive this holy decree, and it also takes courage to read this holy decree.

Xie Yi seemed to be calm and calm during the reading of the holy decree, but in fact, he was beating a drum in his heart and was uneasy.

The so-called tuien is actually sowing discord and dividing and disintegrating.

Yi Nan is not stupid, of course he understands this truth, and it is really a question whether he will obediently accept orders. If it turns its face on the spot, the consequences are unimaginable, at least the mission will definitely be finished.

Xie Yi didn't want to donate to the Tang Dynasty casually, no matter what thoughtful arrangements Li Shimin made and how perfect the military defense of the frontier was, that was his business. His goal is to complete the mission and return safely, so he can't let the two delicate wives at home be widowed!

Simply, Yi Nan finally accepted the holy decree, and Xie Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

But seeing the beads of sweat on the head of the True Pearl Khan, Xie Yi was still uneasy in his heart, obviously Yi Nan was absolutely willing, he may be very entangled, presumably it was after a fierce psychological struggle before he took this holy decree that made him extremely unhappy.

That's not a good sign!

Originally, the situation of the envoy Xue Yantuo was not very good, but now that he has angered the Zhenzhu Khan, can there be any good results?

Yi Nan is now forbearing, but it's hard to guarantee what he will think afterwards?

In case Yi Nan is ruthless, or can't withstand the agitation of the Western Turks, he is really insecure!

It's a little scary!

But fortunately, it's better than turning your face on the spot, after receiving the order, it is equivalent to admitting the facts, and Yi Nan will regret it when the time comes.

Even if there is a war, it is morally disadvantaged, and it is not so easy to agitate and gather more steppe tribes to join forces.

These details about the war, Yi Nan Shao has to have a trade-off, and it is bound to be more entangled.

In addition, his two sons have won the title of Khan, which is equivalent to getting benefits. Naturally, I don't want my dad to break the contract. What can a man do if he does not support even his closest son's decision, or even opposes it?

That's the only comforting thing!

"Congratulations to the Pearl Khan, congratulations to the two little Khans." Xie Yi spit out a few words lightly.

Yi Nan naturally didn't have a good face, he just nodded sneeringly, and he didn't have a good impression of Xie Yi, so his expression was cold. There was indeed joy on Tu Li's face, and then there was a smile on his face, and he could obviously guess his father's mood, so he didn't dare to show it.

Even if it is the Khan of the Tang Emperor's imperial seal. But on the grassland, I still have to respect my father and man, at least for now.

At noon, the warm sun is shining, the sky has the northern wild goose returning to the south, the bleak autumn wind blows, and the silk ribbons decorated on the high platform in front of the sweat tent are all fluttering in the wind, which looks very festive, but the atmosphere is ......

followed by the so-called birthday banquet, but the old birthday star Yi Nan felt a little unsweet. The most delicious roast lamb is delivered in front of you, and it also tastes like chewing wax.

As for the others, they were obviously also affected by the Divine Decree of Tui'en, and one by one they were depressed. Or thoughtful, thinking about gains and losses and all kinds of ghost ideas.

A good birthday feast becomes boring, even a little heavy.

Yi Nan was sure that this was the most depressed birthday he had in many years, and Li Shimin did not send someone to congratulate him on his birthday at all. Rather, it warned, provoked, and added blockage.

Moment. Yi Nan still regrets it a little.

Maybe you don't have to treat Tang Envoy politely and preferentially at the beginning, it's just a revenge, no conscience!

As for whether or not to treat them lightly in the future, and to what extent, it is really a nerve-wracking question.

On the side, the little Khan of the Western Turk Hulu has been silent, but there is a smile on the corner of his mouth.

In his opinion, the Tang Emperor is dying to a certain extent, what kind of grace and sealing, will anyone be grateful to Dade? At least Yi Nan certainly won't.

No one is stupid, after thinking about it carefully, it is clear what the essence of Tuien is, what Li Shimin wants to do is Tuien differentiation and disintegration, but at this time, wouldn't it be counterproductive in this way?

Originally, Hu Lu was still worried about how to persuade Xue Yantuo and how to complete the tasks expected by the Western Turks, but now it seems that he doesn't have to worry so much, and the opponent is actually helping him.

In Hu Lu's view, at least this is a rare and good opportunity, a chance to convince Xue Yantuo to defect.

If the people of Xue Yantuo are willing to immediately move troops against the Tang Dynasty, it will be a good thing that they can't ask for, and it is no wonder that others are completely self-inflicted by the Tang people.

Thinking of this, Hu Lu's heart was full of joy, unlike Yi Nan who chewed wax with him, he ate with relish.

Tu Li lost the food is also very tasty, but he also eats very worried, today's situation is a good thing for him, but the attitude of the old man is unclear, which makes him very uneasy, and even a little worried.

In case Daddy Yi Nan repents and tears his face directly with Datang, then there will be nothing to do with him, and he will even be unlucky because of it. There is no doubt that this is not the situation he expected......

……

Of course, the birthday banquet broke up unhappily, and the moment he returned to the camp, Xie Yi immediately asked Sun Wukai to prepare for defense, or to escape.

Yebei and Xue Yan and the others were even more prepared to deal with it, and when necessary, they could even leave the mission aside and escort Xie Yi away alone.

However, Xie Yi himself is quite calm, at least his performance is calm, although today it stimulated Yi Nan, but the consequences may not be so serious, why scare yourself?

Di Zhixon was even more indifferent, and his composure was extraordinary, perhaps related to his experience as the governor of Liangzhou Governor's Mansion back then! After experiencing the life and death of the military, what else is there to fear?

"Master Xie doesn't have to worry too much, since Yi Nan received the order today, it proves that he is not sure of victory, and he does not dare to move troops easily."

Di Zhixon said: "Once you hesitate for the first time, you will look forward and backward more and more, and ...... instead."

"I believe this, I have found out a few times before, Yi Nan is a little indecisive and has a lot of concerns, and this is the same this time." Xie Yi said: "The moment he received the holy decree from me, his forehead was full of beads of sweat the size of beans, and he was obviously struggling in his heart, but after all, he was still not brave enough and not bold enough.

For Datang, this is the only point, and Yi Nan is not a matter of concern. But if he can't stand the persuasion and stimulation of others, and he has any thoughts, then it will be ...... At least you and I will be in a state of no return. ”

"Let's wait. Wait and see, if we show cowardice, it will encourage Yi Nan's courage, it is not worth ......" As he spoke, Di Zhixon's tone gradually became a little heavy.

"What Di Shilang said is reasonable, so let's wait and see what happens!" Although Xie Yi said so, it is still a big question whether he can sleep soundly today.

"And ......" Xie Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe you can think about it over there." ”

……

After Yi Nan returned to the camp, he kept pacing back and forth, looking very restless.

Datang's encouragement order suddenly caught him a little off guard, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

It is self-evident what the essence of Tui Ence is, Li Shimin is really uneasy and kind, if this law is implemented. Maybe it won't be long before Xue Yantuo falls apart, and this is definitely not the result he wants to see.

Reason told him that if he can't follow it, there are no two tigers in the mountains, and there are no two kings in the country This is an ancient precept that has been passed down by the Han people for hundreds of years, and it definitely makes sense.

Although the two of them are their own sons, once they have the name of Khan, they will be wild horses that have escaped the reins, and they will not be controlled by themselves at all.

In the end, in the face of interests and full strength, it may even be possible for father and son to kill each other. Even if they fear their father's authority and dare not do anything drastic. But fratricidal cannibalism between father and son is almost inevitable, and although there is an element of connivance in this, the holy decree of the Tang Dynasty has no intention of fully catalyzing this matter.

The situation is bad!

Yi Nan wanted to summon his two sons to the sweat tent several times for questioning and negotiation, and he believed that the two sons would obey their orders in person. But what will happen behind the scenes is unknown. When the child is older, he is no longer so obedient.

Especially listening to their duplicity, there is no trust between father and son, and they deceive and suspect each other. It's better to just don't ask and solve it yourself!

But how to solve it?

It seems that there is only one way - anti-Tang!

This matter is too big, Yi Nan really can't make up his mind. It would be light to say that it was indecisive, and it was already a kind of torture and entanglement for Zhenzhu Khan.

wants to rebel, but is afraid of Datang's strength and is afraid of failure, so he doesn't have the courage to make a desperate bet.

Yi Nan didn't have the courage, but someone came to cheer him up.

First of all, the little Western Turkic Khan Hu Lu went in and out of Yi Nan's sweat tent, the intention was obvious, Yi Nan didn't want to see it, but in the end he couldn't help refusing.

"Khan, are you still upset?"

"What, what's there to worry about Ben Khan?" Yi Nan forced a smile, of course he didn't want to admit it.

Hu Lu smiled faintly and said in a low voice: "Khan, to this day, are you still unwilling to be honest with each other?" ”

Yi Nan hesitated, and after a long time, he seemed to remember the situation when he met with Ashina that night, isn't it the same?

At the beginning, it was Ashina's association rate that was secretive and duplicitous, and he was mocking him at the time, but a few days later, the same situation fell on his head, and it was even more unbearable. The comparison between the two is even more depressing.

Seeing that Yi Nan was silent, Hu Lu continued: "The Khan should be able to see how vicious Li Shimin's actions are, and Tang Guo is really too deceitful. ”

"The family is big and the strength is strong, even if you are arrogant, what can others do? Isn't it the case on the prairie all these years! Yi Nan was silent, and his words were not so polite, and it was an indisputable fact that Xue Yantuo had also surrendered to the Western Turks.

"That's right, but please don't forget that a wolf can't fight a tiger, but a pack of wolves can be fearless, and the tiger and leopard will be feared, or even killed."

Hu Lu said leisurely: "Although the current Tang Kingdom is powerful, like a fierce tiger, we are a group of wolves on the grassland, and we may not be afraid of him if we attack it in a group. ”

Yi Nan asked rhetorically: "Little Khan is so confident? ”

"It's not that I have faith, it's that I'm forced to get to where I am now." Hu Lu said: "Just think about it, Xue Yantuo has two more little khans, and the Western Turks originally had many little khans, if Li Shimin made a holy decree, what would be the consequences?"

The Western Turks have just been united, and they don't want any more turmoil, and the Khan won't allow any more turmoil, you know? ”

Of course, Yi Nan understood that to a certain extent, the holy decree of the Tang State also had a relatively bad impact on the Western Turks, and Hu Lu was the first victim.

When the news reached the Tianshan Mountains, the Western Turkic Khans were warned, wouldn't they suspect that they, the little khans, would pose a threat to themselves? One can imagine what the consequences of being suspicious of the king would be.

Therefore, even from his own point of view, Hu Lu did not want Xue Yantuo to have a situation where three khans stood side by side, and this matter was also in line with the "national interests" of the Western Turks.

Therefore, it is definitely necessary to encourage Yi Nan!

As soon as Hu Lu said this, Yi Nan suddenly felt a sense of sympathy and hatred for the same disease, Xue Yantuo and the Western Turks were indeed in a bad situation.

"Before coming to Xue Yantuo, the Khan had told him that if the Zhenzhu Khan had any ideas, the Turkic warriors would definitely fight for it." Hu Lu immediately made a promise.

"Really?"

Hu Lu nodded and said, "Naturally, take it seriously!" ”

Looking at Hu Lu's determined eyes, Yi Nan suddenly became a little worried, the Western Turk was behind Xue Yantuo. If Xue Yantuo and the Tang Dynasty fought, would the Western Turks stab him in the back?

Even if you don't stab the knife, you may not work together, if Xue Yantuo is defeated by the Tang army, the first thing the Western Turks will do is probably to carve up Xue Yantuo's territory! Just like after the defeat of Jieli back then, Xue Yantuo took the opportunity to occupy a large territory is a reason.

"What is the Khan worried about, Hu Lu understands, please rest assured that the main experience of the Western Turks is still in the Tianshan Mountains and the Western Regions, and the steppes in the east have no time to take care of it for the time being."

Hu Lu said: "In any case, the Western Turks and Xue Yantuo are both grassland tribes, not the same race as the Han people, and in the eyes of the Han people in the Tang Kingdom, we are all enemies. ”

"Little Khan doesn't need to say more, Rong Ben Khan thinks about it." Yi Nan waved his hand, and his thoughts were once again very chaotic and entangled.

Seeing this, Hu Lu had no choice but to leave, and after sweating his tent, he glanced in the direction where Dadu was stationed, and then quietly returned to the camp of the Western Turks.

After entering the camp, there was already someone waiting in the middle of it, even though the autumn night on the grassland was already cold, the person was still dressed in a purple dress, and his face was still masked.

"Little Khan is back, what happened?"

"It can't be said that it has been fruitless, but there has been no substantial progress." Hu Lu was quite helpless about this, and he had to sigh in a low voice.

The purple-clothed masked woman was not surprised, as if she was expecting, and said softly: "Don't worry, today's Tang envoy is so stimulated, Yi Nan has already been shaken, tonight the little khan persuaded him, and the Zhenzhu Khan must have been shaken even more." ”

Hu Lu smiled bitterly: "What's the use of not making up your mind? ”

The woman in purple seemed to be very confident, and said leisurely: "Soon, if you can have a more thoughtful strategy, you can make Yi Nan less worried, and I believe he will make the right choice." (To be continued......)
