Western Regions, Little Laws.

Xiao Xiaolu is located in the south of the Western Regions and is a vassal state of Tibet. Attacking Xiao Xiaolu, it was not until the late Tang Dynasty Xuanzong and Gao Xianzhi's expedition that Xiao Xiaolu became a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.

Xiaolilu is a high mountain country, the territory is very small, equivalent to the size of a county in the interior, but the geographical location is very important, overlooking the Western Regions. Moreover, it is also the place where Tibet leaves the Western Regions, and it can make good friends with the Arab Emperor.

Historically, the Tibetan and Arab empires colluded, and Xiao Xiaolu played a very important role. The two countries once formed an alliance to attack the Western Regions, but they were defeated by the Tang Dynasty.

"I've seen the trivia." When the Tibetan Xiaowen arrived, the king of Xiao Xiaolu was busy with the ceremony, as if he had seen his ancestors.

Xiao Lun is a high-ranking official in Tibet, equivalent to the current vice premier. The reason why Xiao Lun came to Xiao Julu was because the envoy of the Arab Empire, Muragu, came to discuss an alliance with Tibet.

Although Yusuf was ambitious and wanted to conquer China, however, he knew very well that the Tang Dynasty was a fierce enemy, not so easy to fight, and if he wanted to conquer China, he had to borrow the power of Tibet.

The Tibetans were also very active in the matter of forming an alliance, because after the fall of the Turks, the northern part of the Tang Dynasty was no longer contained, and they could concentrate their forces against the Tibetans, who were under great pressure, and if they could form an alliance with the Arab emperors, it would be beneficial to the Tibetans.

Although the Arab Empire was far away and could not join forces for the time being, it could receive military assistance from the Arab Empire, and the Arab Empire could provide the Tibetan with the much-needed ordnance, which could increase the combat effectiveness of the Tibetan army.

Yes, after getting this news. Tubo Zampu attaches great importance to it. Send Xiao Tan to the Western Regions.

"Where's the Great Emissary?" Xiao Lun asked.

"Back to the small talk. The Great Eclipse Messenger rests at the post office. King Polyu replied hurriedly.

"Okay, you find me an upper room, I want to rest." Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows.

"Xiaoyan, why don't you see the Great Eclipse Emissary right away?" There was something strange about the little King Boru.

Xiao Bolu came in the middle of winter, and he didn't see Mulagu for the first time.

"No hurry, no hurry." Xiao Yan shook his head and said, "Let me rest and talk about it." ”

Tibet allied itself with the Arab Empire. It's just a mutual use, whoever is anxious suffers, Xiaoyan naturally won't understand this, he is deliberately manipulating.

"Alright then, please take a break." King Xiao Lu personally sent Xiao Lun to the post house.

Xiaolun didn't take a break, but he didn't go out for five days in a row, as if he didn't come for state affairs, but for a vacation.

When Mulagu got the news, his mouth cracked, and he said disdainfully to his entourage: "These arrogant Tibetan fools. For the sake of a little face, he was so careful. ”

"My lord, these Tibetan dogs really have no vision. An alliance between the two countries is beneficial, so why bother? "The retinue is also dissatisfied.

"Tubo has been at war with China for so many years, but it has never been able to defeat China, in addition to the lack of national strength, these ministers are stupid." Muragu raised his eyebrows and said, "Since these fools want face, let's go visit him." ”

"My lord, isn't that good?" The retinue did not quite agree.

"These are small things, and they don't have to do the big picture." Mulagu is a shrewd person and said with a smile: "The more people care about small things, the more they can't do big things." We want to do big things, we want to conquer China, and we don't have to worry about it. ”

"It's still an adult's eye." A word of praise from the entourage.

In this way, Muragu took the initiative to visit Xiao Lun. When he came to Xiao Lun's residence, he was stopped by Xiao Lun's people and said, "What are you doing?" ”

"Please reply to the trivial, just say that Mulagu came to visit." Muragu had a smile on his face, and a pearl in his right hand was stuffed into the man's hand.

The man looked at it for a moment, his eyes lit up, a long string of small stars appeared, a smile spread on his face, and he said, "You wait." ”

After saying that, the man went in to report it.

Xiao Yan was frolicking with a singer who was passable, and he had to report and said, "Don't worry, let him wait." ”

"My lord, isn't that good? He's already in front of the house. The attendant reminded him.

"What's bad? It is he who begs us, not us who begs him, let him wait and wait. "A triumphant way.

Really speaking, it is Tubo who begs the Arab Empire, because the war between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty is about to take place, which is an urgent need, and although the Tang Dynasty and the Arab Empire will have a war sooner or later, it will take a long time. However, when it comes to the mouth of the small talk, it is the Arab Empire that seeks Tibet, which is really arrogant.

"Okay then." The retinue came out and said to Muragu: "My lord has something to do, I can't see you yet, you wait." ”

After speaking, he didn't care about Mulagu's reaction, and walked away quickly.

Muragu waited for a long time, for an hour, and there was no trace of the trivial.

This is a big winter in the ice and snow, and Xiaolu is a plateau country, so it is even colder, the cold wind blows on the body, like a knife cutting meat, Mulagu is frozen to a dark face, and his nose is flushed.

Muragu was able to wait patiently at first, but as time went on, that patience was worn out. Patience was consumed, not to mention, and anger surged up, growing stronger and stronger.

As an envoy of a country, being eaten behind closed doors and suffering some grievances can be accepted by Mulagu, the problem is that it depends on the object. A big country like the Tang Dynasty, even if Mulagu is given more closed-door soup, Mulagu can only endure it, because the Tang Dynasty has that strength.

Compared with the Arab Empire, Tibet is too far behind, and even such a second-rate country dares to humiliate Mulagu so much, he has to be angry: "Go, go back." ”

Mulagu, whose hands and feet were frozen, took people back to the house, gathered around the fire to keep warm, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and said coldly: "It's really unreasonable for such a fool to want to succeed." Come, get ready, tomorrow we will leave for home. ”

"My lord, no longer aligned?" The attendant asked hurriedly.

"It's such a fool, it's useless to form an alliance." Mulagu was really angry.

"These Tibetan dogs are really stupid, without them, we can still conquer China." The attendants were in agreement.

So, the Arab imperial envoy and his party began to prepare. Return home the next day.

After the small discussion got the news. Unimpressed. sneered: "He's in a trick, he won't return to China." ”

However, Xiaoyan was wrong, and the next day, Mulagu really returned home with people.

"Wouldn't it? Is he really gone? Xiao Yan was a little dumbfounded, thought for a while, and said: "He must be pinching, not really leaving, and he will stop soon." ”

Retreat. It is also a common trick in diplomacy, and Xiao Yan has to think so.

"It's a small thing, the big cannibal goes very fast, and there is no intention of stopping." It didn't take long for the retinue to report and say, "I've been out of thirty miles." ”

"Thirty miles? I expected him to stop at fifty miles. Xiao Tan was stunned for a moment, and then said again.

When Muragu reached fifty miles back, and still had no intention of stopping, Xiao Lun realized that something was wrong. A cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he said, "You won't really leave, will you?" Fast. Prepare the horse, I'll chase it. ”

If the support of the Arab Empire is lost, the situation in Tibet will not be good, and if nothing else, the iron alone is enough to make Tibet uncomfortable. The Tibetans were nomadic in nature, and without advanced skills and technology, they could not produce iron in large quantities. And the Arab Empire has a lot of iron, as long as some assistance is enough to benefit Tibet a lot, Xiaoyan has to hurry.

Xiao Lun rode a steed, led his retinue, braved the wind and snow, and went to chase Mulagu.

By the time he caught up, Muragu and his party were already seventy miles away.

"Stop him." When Muragu learned that the Treatise was coming, his anger not only did not dissipate, but grew stronger, and he did not mean to see the Comment.

Xiao Yan couldn't see Mulagu, and he didn't give up, and kept saying good things to his followers, but it was useless. He had to follow Mulagu, and in the evening, Mulagu and his party stopped to rest.

"Here's your chance." Xiao Lun hurriedly rushed to the front of Mulagu's tent and said loudly: "Tubo Xiao Lun asks to see the Great Food Messenger. ”

"Let him wait." Feng Shui takes turns, and it is finally Mulagu's turn to take the initiative, which will be cheap.

I couldn't wait for a while, for several hours, Muragu didn't mean to see Xiao Lun, Xiao Lun was so cold that his face was black, and he was about to become an iceman, but Muragu still didn't see him.

Later, Xiao Tan couldn't stand it anymore and was stunned.

"Self-inflicted." Muragu was barely satisfied, and a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Get him in." ”

The attendants carried him into Mulagu's tent and placed it beside the fire to bake, and after a while, he woke up.

"I've seen your envoy." Xiao Tan struggled to his feet and saluted Mulagu.

"Tell me, what is the matter with me?" Muragu held his head high, squinted his eyes, and said coldly as if he didn't take the trivia in his eyes.

"I have been ordered by Zampu to come to your envoy to discuss the alliance between the two countries." Xiao Tan lost the initiative and didn't dare to strengthen his strengths, so he had to be cautious.

"Alliance? No way? Your country is extremely powerful, and you don't take China and our country in your eyes, so you need to form an alliance? Muragu was frozen for an hour, and he was upset and raised his throat to mock.

Xiao Lun's face turned red, and he said curtly: "I am so disrespectful, please forgive me." ”

"As an envoy, I, Mulagu, have been to many countries, including China, and I was so angry that I vomited blood, but I was convinced." Mulagu sneered: "Because the Chinese have the means and strength, I will be convinced if I lose." Especially that Li Longji, he is very good, I admire him very much. Well, you don't have the means, you don't have the strength, you can't grasp the balance if you want to, it's stupid. ”

This makes sense, it takes strength to handle it, and it is a joke to handle it without strength.

When Muragu sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, he was so angry that Li Longji vomited blood, and he had to be convinced, because the Tang Dynasty had that strength, and he could handle it no matter how he could. And Tubo doesn't have that strength, so it's stupid to mess around.

"Please forgive me." Xiao Tan had to keep his voice down.

"For the sake of your sincerity, I can form an alliance with you." Mu Lagu raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "However, the things that help you cannot be given to you all at once, and they will be given to you in batches. I will give you half of it, and the remaining half, and if you can achieve results that are satisfactory to us, it will not be too late to give it again. ”

Talking about that regret, if he hadn't messed around, Mulagu wouldn't have given them in batches like this, and now it's useless to regret it, so I have to accept this reality. (To be continued......)
