Located on the banks of the Tula River, the Tent of the Khan of Xueyanta resembles a Turkic royal court.

There was no serious city, but a large tent that lasted for days, and because the khan was stationed here, it became the political center of Xue Yantuo.

In the event of a natural disaster or invasion by a foreign enemy, you only need to change the place, and it will still be the tent of Xue Yantuo Khan, which is the characteristic of the nomadic people.

In fact, the Xue Yantuo Khan Tent was originally in the further north, and it was only after the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Eastern Turks that the Khan Tent moved south accordingly.

From this phenomenon, it can be seen that Xue Yantuo's living space and sphere of influence are expanding to the south.

This is a dangerous signal for Datang, and it is inevitable that once there is expansion, there will be an intersection sooner or later. Two different civilizations meet, and if they cannot be integrated, then there will only be conflict.

For thousands of years, the Great Wall in northern China has been like this, from the Xiongnu to the Xianbei later, and then to today's Turks and Xue Yantuo.

Fortunately, the Central Plains is a powerful Tang Empire, and the nomadic tribes of the steppe cannot invade too much south, if the Central Plains' armed forces weaken, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The embarrassment of the two Song Dynasty is the best example, but it is not bad, although the mountains and rivers are broken, and the gold is not complete, but at least half of the country is still in the mountains.

In the future, Mengman entered the customs and won the world, for the Han people, to a certain extent, it was not a kind of sadness?

Xie Yi was lucky to be born in the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, but Rao was like this, and he still had to be cautious about treating the nomadic tribes of the grassland, especially the strong tribes.

Xue Yantuo is now like a "time bomb", and he must deal with it carefully, and in this situation, Xie Yi and Di Zhixun came to Xue Yantuo's tent.

When he arrived at the periphery of Xue Yantuo's "capital", someone came to greet him, and the weight was not light, it was the second son of Zhenzhu Khan Yinan-Tu Lisheng.

"I've seen you, Tu Liwu came to greet the Tang delegation on behalf of his father Khan." A powerful, tough-looking young man dismounted and bowed. A smile on his face. A Central Plains Chinese dialect is even more fluent, and even has a bit of Guanzhong accent, which can't help but be amazing.

Di Zhixun said: "There is Prince Lao." ”

"Where, it is an honor to welcome the Datang Mission." Tu Li lost a smile on his face, quite polite.

Xie Yi smiled and asked: "The prince's Chinese is quite fluent, with a Chang'an accent, but has he been to my Tang Dynasty?" ”

Tu Li said: "It's a pity that Tu Li Wei admires the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty very much, but unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity to go to see it." Only from his uncle's description can he feel the brilliant prosperity of Datang and learn the Tang language from his uncle. ”

"I see." Xie Yi did his homework before coming. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, in order to deal with the Turkic Jieli in the east, Li Shimin once contacted Xue Yantuo and promised to be named Khan.

At that time, Yi Nan once sent his younger brother to Chang'an to pay tribute, and was given a sword and a whip by Li Shimin, and was entertained in Chang'an for many days. However, the time is short, and I am afraid it is too late to learn how much Tang civilization, especially to learn the accent of Guanzhong.

There is obviously something wrong with the statement of sudden loss, perhaps he deliberately learned the Aihan family language from other sources. It's hard to say whether you admire Datang or not. But it is definitely true that I am interested in Datang and even know a lot.

Then his original intention and purpose are crucial, maybe he is to learn more advanced civilization from Datang, or maybe he wants to understand the weaknesses of Datang. Seek a breakthrough.

Either one is not a good sign, and in Xie Yi's opinion, the best way is to be in awe. As a great power, Datang should be feared.

Not to mention that the four seas are one. At the very least, it still deters the Quartet from allowing it to attack, but the current situation is indeed ......

A small Xue Yantuo also coincides with its gradual development and growth. It's really ...... to almost become a confidant. Xie Yi didn't know what to say for a while!

"Di Envoy, Xie Envoy, then Tu Lishu will lead the way, go to the Khan tent to meet my father Khan!"

"There's Prince Law."

"You're polite, so that the minister Lang is highly respected, the family history, Xie Envoy is also young and promising, a talent, Tuli disability has the opportunity to go with two peers, there are many benefits, I am really lucky."

Tu Li smiled and said, "In your Han dialect, it is a blessing from the cultivation of three lives. ”

Di Zhixun smiled: "Haha, the prince is really a living learner, and he is well versed in the civilization of the Han family. ”

"Where, Xiao Wang is only shallow in learning and knows very little, if there is anything inappropriate, please don't laugh." Tu Lishi was modest and polite at that time, quite self-contained, if you only look at the behavior, it really doesn't look like a grassland prince, but like a humble scholar of the Han family.

"The prince is too modest."

"It's not modest, it's compared with the Tang Dynasty, my grassland people are too vulgar, like Bachelor Xie's age, Xiao Wang can only ride a horse and dabble, where do you know how to make diplomatic relations such a big thing."

As he spoke, Tu Liyu looked at Xie Yi intentionally or unintentionally, which seemed to be meaningful, it could be regarded as a temptation!

Di Zhixun suddenly understood why His Majesty the Emperor wanted to send a young man as an envoy, which obviously had a deep meaning.

First of all, young people are easily despised, this is a general attitude, and when the Xueyantuo and Western Turks see that their opponent is a young man who is less than twenty years old, their vigilance must be greatly reduced, and they even make mistakes arrogantly and carelessly.

Although Xie Yi is in Chang'an and even famous in Datang, he is not clear about the land of the grassland Fanbang. When the identity of the envoy is known, if he does not know in advance, it is too late to investigate in detail.

After all, the distance from Xue Yantuo's tent to Chang'an is not short, and with a round trip and the effort of investigation, it will definitely not work in three or two months, and it will be too late at all.

The first moment he saw Xie Yi, there was a somewhat surprised look on his face, probably because he thought Xie Yi was too young, beyond imagination!

There is a lot of tentative interdiction between the words, obviously wanting to find out more information, and it is difficult to say the specific purpose.

Seeing this situation, Xie Yi smiled; "Where, it is the important task of the Tang Dynasty to send Xue Yantuo to congratulate the true pearl Khan on his birthday, how many people can't ask for the beauty difference, I have always admired the majesty of the grassland, and I have worked hard to get this opportunity."

Tu Li said with a spring breeze on his face: "Really? This is also my Xue Yantuo's honor, Xie envoys can visit my grassland, if you can, it is best to spend a few more days, when the time comes, you will lose the east, and accompany the envoys to experience my grassland customs. ”

"Thank you for the prince's kindness, so naturally I can't ask for it." Xie Yi immediately snorted as well, who wants to stay in the grassland where you don't for a while? I wish I could leave as soon as possible!

The guests and hosts seem to be enthusiastic and have a good conversation, but in fact, they look like they are separated from each other, and there is not much substance, and it is completely unbounded fake enthusiasm.

Anyway, just like that, all the way forward, I can finally see the glittering sweat tent. However, at this time, a group of people from the northwest happened to be hurrying in...... (To be continued......)
