There are many tribes in Mobei, and Hui is one of them.

It's a pity that their power is relatively weak, and in this grassland where they rely on the strength of swords and guns, they can only be subservient.

In the past, the Jieli Khan of the Eastern Turks was strong, and they submitted to Jieli.

But now, the Eastern Turks were defeated by the Tang army, and Xue Yantuo took the opportunity to rise, so they had to rely on Xue Yantuo and the Western Turks, and they always looked up to the people.

There is no way, who allows the living space of the Hui people to span the sphere of influence of the two major tribes, and they can't beat them?

Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Khan's birthday, as a subordinate Hui people, naturally have to come to congratulate the birthday, this time it is his prince Tumidu.

It's a pity that after the arrival of the Hui people, they did not have the treatment of the envoys of the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks at all, and Tumidu was even repeatedly insulted by the eldest son of Yinan.

As for the reason, Tu Li lost to find out after inquiring that the cause is really complicated, and it is said that Gaochang people are involved.

Gaochang is an ancient country in the Western Regions, about the beginning of Li Guangli in the Han Dynasty in this tuntian, he built a city at the foot of the Flame Mountain, until today it has become an important country in the Western Regions.

Strictly speaking, the Gaochang people have Han Chinese blood, but after many years of intermarriage with other tribes, the bloodline has been chaotic and mixed, and the Gaochang people have become alienated from the Central Plains Dynasty.

Now it is more dependent on the more powerful Western Turks in the Western Regions, and this time Xue Yantuo congratulates him on his birthday, and Gao Chang also has a share. Because of the protection and care of the Western Turkic "suzerain", the treatment of the Gaochang people is naturally better, and there is even a bit of arrogance of the fox and the tiger.

Today, I don't know what trivial things I had, I insulted the Hui people, and finally caused a small conflict, and then the Gaochang people complained to the Western Turkic masters.

Hu Lu Xiao Khan didn't say anything, Dadu set up the first anger, the Hui people actually provoked their own guests, they really ate the courage of the ambitious leopard.

What's even more coincidental is that now there is a contest between the Tang envoys and the Western Turks. It ended with the defeat of the Western Turks, and the magnanimity was even more boring. There is a fire in the heart, and all the brains will be vented to the Hui people.

The so-called Hui murderers who fought with each other naturally had to suffer from flesh and skin, and the Hui prince was even more scolded and bloody.

Xie Yi saw it from a distance, although Tu Midu was sincerely frightened on his face, he clenched his fist tightly, obviously feeling extremely unhappy.

But the Hui people are even weaker, and they can't provoke the high-ranking and powerful Prince Xue Yantuo at all, so they have to endure it for the sake of the overall situation. Even if it is humiliating, you have to endure the humiliation.

Seeing this scene, Xie Yi thought a lot, and remembered that it seemed to be said in the middle school history textbook that "Uighur clothes were used to be Uighurs".

The Uighurs are now Uighurs, but with a different name.

Being able to be popular in the Tang Dynasty shows that the Uighurs are very powerful and influential. And Xie Yi remembered, after the Anshi Rebellion. The Tang Dynasty seems to have relied on the strength of the Uighurs to recover Chang'an and Luoyang.

Of course, the price was not small, and it is said that the Tang Dynasty acquiesced in the plundering of the city by the Uighurs after the war, and the scenario can be imagined.

Put it all together. The later Uighurs were strong, for sure, strong enough to replace Xueyanta and the Western Turks.

This has always been the case on the grassland, when the Huns almost wiped out Donghu. As a result, the Xianbei, Khitan and even Mongolia that rose later were all branches of Donghu.

Isn't it the same when the later Jurchens replaced the Khitan and the Mongols replaced the Jurchens? The original emperors of the Liao and Jin kingdoms would never have thought that a weak tribe in the frontier would one day capture the capital. Take your own place.

Today's magnanimity will not think that the low-voiced Hui people will be able to replace Xue Yantuo's position one day. That's why he ruthlessly insulted Tu Midu, but in Xie Yi's opinion, maybe this insult was an introduction to the change of the grassland.

Seeing Tu Lishu and Xie Yi and others appear, Dadu didn't know if he was embarrassed or had scolded enough, so he turned around and left angrily.

Tu Midu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he had to pay respectful visits to Tu Liyi, and he couldn't afford to provoke any of Xue Yantuo's princes.

When he saw Xie Yi and Di Zhixun's clothes, Tu Midu bowed and said, "The two are the envoys of the Tang Dynasty in the south?" ”

"Yes, these two are the envoys of the Tang Dynasty and the envoys of Xie." Tu Li lost very politely to introduce the degree of confusion.

There was a different kind of light in Tu Midu's eyes, and he immediately said pious and respectful: "I have admired the elegance of the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and I finally have the fate to see it today, and I am honored." ”

Di Zhixun turned around and glanced at Xie Yi, and a thought came to his heart, this Hui prince's Han language is also very good, and the words are also very elegant.

It seems that he is a tribal leader who knows Datang very well, which is a good thing, which shows that Datang is strong and attracts the admiration and learning of grassland heroes.

If it was before, Di Zhixon would only think so simply, but after hearing Xie Yi's story of the farmer and the snake, he couldn't help but be vigilant.

Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty is powerful, especially His Majesty the Emperor is respected as the Heavenly Khan, so that many courtiers and people are born with arrogance and look down on the grassland tribes at all.

This kind of thought should be regarded as a kind of arrogance!

The sages said that pride is also complacent, and arrogant soldiers will be defeated, which is not a good phenomenon!

Di Zhixon felt that it was necessary to present a letter to His Majesty the Emperor after the return of the envoy to explain this phenomenon. At the very least, you should know yourself and your opponent and have a detailed enough understanding of the steppe tribes.

Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated in a hundred battles!

Di Zhixun said: "The prince of Tumidu is polite, I heard that the Hui people are bold and enthusiastic, and when I see it today, it is worthy of its reputation!" ”

"Haha, it is an honor to be praised by the envoys of the kingdom, and I have the heart to travel to Chang'an, but unfortunately I have no chance."

Tu Fan Du said leisurely: "Now that I see the two envoys, I can appreciate the demeanor of the Tang Dynasty, which can be regarded as a little fulfillment of some wishes." ”

Xie Yi knew that the Hui people had also sent envoys to Chang'an to pay tribute, so they achieved the grand scene of the Tang Dynasty. However, due to Xue Yantuo and the Western Turks, the frequency of tribute paid by the Hui people, as well as the degree of respect and intimacy with the Tang Dynasty, were always limited.

Of course, the Hui people may be very interested in getting closer to the Tang Dynasty, just like Xue Yantuo's original intention back then.

This is a good thing, Datang should welcome such a friend, and Xie Yi himself hopes to have a friend on the grassland, or an ally is more accurate.

Friends are too close and sincere to be suitable for the rest of the country, or allies are more accurately defined as cooperating for the common good.

Once there is a conflict of interest between each other, it is another thing to break up and face each other with swords. In dealing with the steppe tribes, the farce and tragedy of the farmer and the snake cannot always be staged, and it is necessary to pay more attention. (To be continued......)
