Three more 10,000 monthly pass support***

The feast lasted until late, and the prairie warriors in the felt tent were all pot-bellied men, and they ate three of them just by roasting whole sheep. At this time, there were still two whole sheep roasted and shiny roasted on the stove pit in front of the tent, and everyone in the tent had already eaten eighty or ninety percent of their fill, and began to shout and drink six to fight wine, and there were wine jars around them.

The grassland people are good at wine, don't look at them being forced by the Tubo people to leave their hometown, and they fled here to have a place to stay, and this wine has not fallen.

Seeing that the people in the tent could no longer eat, Wu Zhile ordered the whole sheep that had been roasted to be given to the guards in front of the tent, which caused another cheer from the guards. You must know that in this era, roasted whole sheep is a very high-standard famous dish at aristocratic banquets, and ordinary shepherds or ordinary small clan leaders are also mainly meat-based, but they are not qualified to enjoy roasted whole sheep.

This move made Yang Fan look at Wu Zhile again, since he arrived in Luoyang, the dignitaries have seen a lot, there are really not many powerful people who are so considerate and caring for their subordinates, Wu Zhile is also drunk at this time, his face is red, and his tongue is hard, at this time this move should be sincere, and it is definitely not intended to invite people's hearts.

Shen Mu didn't drink much, although everyone toasted him first, but for this distinguished guest, he only took a sip and others would not be picky, he didn't drink much, but he ate a lot of things like milk skin, milk tofu, blood sausage, barbecue, etc., so his eyes were still very clear at the moment.

Shen Mu drank for a while, got up and went out for convenience, and Yang Fan took the opportunity to follow.

The two Turkic girls helped Shen Mu out of the crowd, fell into a secluded corner, and made a gesture to him with a smile, meaning that it would be convenient here, and one of the girls squatted down and wanted to untie his pants for him. Yang Fan appeared in front of him at this time.

Shen Mu saw it. waved his hand, waited for the two Turkic girls to walk away, and smiled at Yang Fan: "Erlang seems to have something on his mind?" ”

Yang Fan said: "There is something unclear. It's just that the wisdom is shallow, and I can't figure it out, if I don't ask for advice in person. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well. ”

Shen Mu said with a smile: "When did Erlang become so literate, our own brothers, just say something." ”

He didn't avoid Yang Fan, he untied his clothes widely, and after finishing it easily, he reorganized it and stopped, and a Turkic girl standing in the distance immediately stepped forward, took out a sweat towel from her waist, and presented it respectfully.

Shen Mu cleaned his hands. He made an inviting gesture to Yang Fan, and the two of them strolled between a felt tent, while the two Turkic girls followed suit.

Yang Fan said: "The person that Brother Shen said can be a khan. Is it Uzile? ”

Shen Mu said: "Not bad. What do you think of this person? ”

Yang Fan said: "It is indeed a hero! It's just that where does Brother Shen plan to support him Khan? ”

Shen Mu smiled: "Erlang asked knowingly. Naturally, he is the king of the ten tribes of the Western Turks! ”

Yang Fan turned to Shen Mu and asked in a condensed voice: "The Western Turks already have a master, and they are loyal to our dynasty, why did Brother Shen set up another khan?" ”

Shen Mu said: "Hu Sero? Hu Sero is naturally loyal, but this Uzhile is also loyal, and he is also loyal, and Uzhile is more worthy of being the master of one side than Hu Sero. ”

Yang Fan said suspiciously: "What does Brother Shen mean by this? ”

Shen Mu said: "Hu Seluo is good at personal martial arts, but not good at commanding the tribes, and often fights with weak enemies and strong opponents, so that the Western Turkic tribes have repeatedly lost the upper hand in the confrontation with the Eastern Turks, losing land and losing people, resulting in the end of today's tribes leaving their hometowns and wandering everywhere, and the power is no longer enough to convince the public, this is one of them."

Hu Sero was autocratic, not good at defending the ministries, cruel temperament, often whipped the soldiers after drinking, and the slightest mistake in the other ministries was severely punished, so that the subordinates were afraid and deviated from morality, and the second was that. As a khan, it is enough to have these two items, especially when there are strong enemies outside the Western Turks and they are in a difficult situation. ”

Yang Fan hesitated: "There is such a thing? When I was in Luoyang, I also had a relationship with General Hu Seluo, and his personality was ...... It seems to be very different from what Brother Shen said......"

Shen Mu said suddenly: "I said why you have so many doubts about supporting Wu Zhile as a khan, the original reason is here!" ”

Shen Mu smiled bitterly and said: "Erlang, you once bowed together, and he regarded you as a friend, not a subordinate, so his attitude is naturally different." But this doesn't mean that his majesty is also so polite. In fact, if I support Usero, the benefits I can get from him can be obtained if I change to Hu Sero, if Hu Sero is a person who can afford to support, wouldn't it be easier for me to support him than to support Usyl?

This man is uncultivable! If you don't believe what I say, you can ask anyone in the ten tribes how the tribes support Uzil, you can see it in your eyes, if Hu Sero is a wise lord, will his subordinates be so detached? ”

Yang Fan came all the way, not only saw Wu Zhile's ability to train soldiers with soldiers, but also saw the sincere support of his subordinates, the subordination of other leaders to him, and also saw his attitude towards his subordinates.

In the Central Plains, it is rare for Shangguan to be able to care for his subordinates in this way, and in the tribe, the relationship between nobles and subordinates is almost like that between master and slave, and the difference between respect and inferiority is huge, and it is even more difficult......

Under the joint suppression of the Eastern Turks and Tibetans, the Western Turks had less and less room for survival, and in this difficult situation, it was more likely to cause turmoil and put an already endangered tribe into an even more dangerous situation.

And in this case, if Shen Mu can give them help, what he can get from Wu Zhile can also be obtained from Hu Seluo, he can give up the easy and support Wu Zhile, I'm afraid only these reasons make sense.

Thinking of this, Yang Fan couldn't help but be a little shaken, he didn't think that Hu Seluo was a wicked person, but a good person was not necessarily a person worthy of being a leader. Yang Fan hesitated in his heart, especially holding a trace of illusion, and said: "Hu Seluo was originally the head of the ten surnamed tribes, and Wu Zhile rashly replaced him, is this feasible?" ”

Shen Mu saw that he would be persuaded by himself, and laughed easily: "Princely general, would you rather have a kind?" How can Jiro believe in the corrupt theory that you can't be a king unless you are a royal family? The current empress is not a descendant of the Li Tang clan, is she not the emperor now? If you talk about Hu Seluo, his position as a khan, if it is not recognized by my Tang Dynasty, it may not be legitimate.

Not to mention that the Eastern Turks also have an Ashina Gulu. Even in the Western Turks. Hu Sero was not the heir to the throne either. The lord of the Western Turks was originally Ashina Micha, and Ashinabu, the father of Hu Sero, was really the brother of Micha Khan, and he wanted to establish himself as a khan. He murdered more than 20 of Micha's younger brothers and nephews and usurped power to stand on his own.

Ashina Mi Shot rate of the tribe in the month and the tribe in the secret to take refuge in my Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong canonized him as Xi Li Lu Khan. Ashina Buzhen is self-reliant, but many of his tribes are dissatisfied, and Buzhen is helpless, so he has to also take refuge in my Tang Dynasty and was awarded the title of General Zuotunwei. Later, Ashina Buzhen falsely accused Ashina of rebellion, and Michai was killed, and Buzhen brought the ten surnamed tribes into his command. ”

When Shen Mu said this, he smiled and said, "This matter." It's just an old thing more than 20 years ago, and the ten tribes of the Western Turks are well known, and now Hu Sero has inherited the throne. and they cannot win the hearts of the people. Why is it difficult to replace it with Uzile? ”

Yang Fan said: "Wu Zhile's ability. Although I have only seen it, I have to admit that he does have the demeanor of a hero, but he is just ...... Because of this, he is quite talented, if he is supported, will he raise tigers? ”

Shen Mu smiled and said: "Erlang, you are planning everything for me, this thought is admirable, but this idea is very wrong!" ”

He took a few steps forward slowly, stretched out his hand, and pointed to the countless twinkling stars under the vast starry sky, and said: "A family, when there are no outstanding children in the long house, if you still want to be jealous of the virtuous and envy, and exclude and suppress the children of the branch sect, this family will never exist for thousands of years.

If an important minister cannot be meritocracious when recommending meritocracy, and is always worried that others will become a better official than himself one day, he will sooner or later become a traitor who treacherously wields power, and he will not be able to go down in fame through the ages.

If an emperor is always worried about the high achievements of his courtiers, and even does not wait for the external troubles to be eradicated, he can't wait to kill those talented and capable civil and military ministers, and he will become the king of the country sooner or later!

Erlang, now only Tubo's military strength is not under my Tang Dynasty, not to mention that there is an Eastern Turk, at this time, you have to be on guard against your own people, what will be the result?

Did Uzile wipe out the Tibetans and the Eastern Turks? No way! But he can grow, where does he come from? Even if people are all born on their own, but the territory is only so big, and it is beneficial and harmless for us to divide the three families.

Uzile is very capable, this is true, but in such a sinister environment, we can give them limited help, and it is precisely if he is capable, whether it is our family or the court, that we can have the value of supporting him, otherwise what use should we ask him?

At the same time as supporting, of course, it is necessary to control, which has nothing to do with whether Uzil is a Turkic or not. If the Tang Dynasty is so weak that he can't even control the liliang that he has single-handedly supported, or if he is stupid for the sake of the monarch, then the ambitious person, whether he is of the same clan or not, or even whether he is a blood relative, will take his place, and there is no need to look far away to find examples, isn't this dynasty a living example? ”

Yang Fan was silent for a long time and asked, "Why did you bring me to meet him, and why did you let me know about this?" ”

Shen Mu said: "Because, if he wants to be called Khan, he needs the support of the imperial court and a righteous name." In fact, whether you admit it or not, the power of the ten surnamed tribes is already in the hands of Uzhile, but Hu Seluo is still unaware, and Uzhile has not torn his face with him.

If I don't agree, do you think Uzile will give up the power in his hands? No! Hu Sero still has to face the situation of rebellion and separation, if that situation occurs, what do you think will be the result of internal friction among the Western Turks under the watchful eye of the two tigers? In that case, we will lose all the important Liliang that we use to contain the Eastern Turks.

Erlang, in this case, do you say that for Hu Seluo, is it better to stay in the court to be a big general and a rich man, or let him come back and bury all the ten tribes in the cannibalism? If you report these benefits to the empress, I believe that the empress will weigh the pros and cons, and will not be reluctant to give up the title of 'khan'!

Huthero's own stay in the court was beneficial to him. As far as the imperial court is concerned, it can be regarded as an additional bargaining chip for the control of the ten tribes of the Western Turks. You can carry him out if necessary, if Uzile really has the opposite intentions! ”

"I, Uzyl! Xiangshang Cang swears, if I am a khan, I will never be defeated! ”

With the sound, Uzile suddenly walked step by step from the night, still drunk. There is some floating underfoot. But his face was full of excitement, sincerity, and solemnity, and in the distance, two Turkic girls bent down deeply towards him.

Yang Fan didn't wonder when he ran over. Just ask him, "How can I trust your assurance?" ”

Uzile sneered: "You can only trust my promises! If, you are worried, when I am strong. You can guarantee that when Huthro is strong, he will be loyal to you? ”

Of course, Yang Fan couldn't guarantee it, he was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Can you guarantee that you will always be loyal to Datang?" ”

Uzile touched his chest with his hand and gently bent down: "I can only promise myself, my friend!" This is my sincerest vow. If I say that I can guarantee anything for my children and grandchildren, it is the greatest deception to you! Everyone has their own path. Either you or me. Who can guarantee what their sons, grandchildren, great-grandchildren will do? ”

Yang Fan sighed softly and looked at Shen Mu. Then he looked at Uzil and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Shen Mu showed a happy smile, Yang Fan's words meant that he would really become a fellow practitioner.

Shen Mu said briskly: "First of all, it is to ask the imperial court to allow Hu Seluo to stay in Luojing for a long time!" If Hu Seluo himself did not have this request, he would have asked the imperial court to find a way to keep him in Luojing, and only in this way could the internal division and fratricidal fighting of the ten tribes of the Western Turks be avoided.

Second, it is necessary for the imperial court to accept the old and weak women and children of the ten Turkic tribes, about tens of thousands of people, and move them to Longyou or Guanzhong, so that there can be no worries here, and the burden of tens of thousands of people can be reduced, and the elite will be concentrated and strive to return to the four towns of Anxi. It has always been the place where the ten tribes of the Western Turks are stationed and grazed. ”

Yang Fan said in his heart: "I'm afraid that at least six of the ten surnamed tribes have already sided with Wu Zhile, and there is Shen Mu's secret support, in this case, staying in Luojing is only afraid that it will be the best result for Hu Seluo." As for the migration of tens of thousands of old and young people to Longyou Guanzhong, it is not a big problem, they can engage in farming and animal husbandry, and in disguise they are equivalent to hostages of the ten surnamed tribes, Shen Mu probably calculated it this way. ”

Shen Mu said again: "These two things, I will provide you with sufficient and powerful evidence, you are a scout sent by the empress, you only need to present it to the empress, and try to persuade her to accept it as much as possible." Of course, I'll use other people to help you. ”

"Next, it's up to me to do it." Internally, I need to recuperate, the tribe of the ten surnames has suffered a lot of trauma, you don't look at us now as if we have no worries about food and clothing, in fact, because we were forced to move away from our homeland, a large number of cattle, sheep and livestock were taken away by the enemy on the way to escape, and the existing livestock is no longer enough to maintain the survival of the tribe.

I need to survive this winter in order to slowly recover, during this period, I have to recover my vitality while training the soldiers and horses diligently, combining the elite soldiers and horses of the ten tribes to create a Liliang that can compete with the Tubo and Gu Lulu. And the outside world......" Wu Zhile set his eyes on Shen Mu.

Shen Mu said: "Externally, Wuzhile has sent a secret envoy to the Tubo royal city to ask for their prime minister Qinling, and tell Qinling the meaning of Wuzhile's intention to replace Hu Seluo. ”

Yang Fan's eyes flashed, and he said, "Feint? ”

Shen Mu cocked his big finger approvingly, and said, "Yes, feigned!" On the condition of taking refuge in Qinling, he tried to get his support and helped himself to become the head of the ten tribes. Of course, Qin Ling would not easily believe in the sincerity of Wu Zhile, but he could take the elite soldiers of the ten tribes without a fight, and he could not refuse this temptation.

The place where Wuzhile is stationed is called Dadou Tu Gu, which is a shortcut to Huangzhong, and it is also a key pass for Tubo to enter the west of the river in the north, so it is extremely unsafe here. But now there is no time for Uzile to choose another place with abundant water and grass to live, so he can only delay this winter. ”

Yang Fan bowed his head and said: "Well, even if Qinling is half-convinced, as long as he wants to annex this liliang, he will not act rashly, so it will be enough to give us a chance to breathe." "The Tibetan language calls the prime minister 'Treatise', so Qinling is often called Lunqinling, and Yang Fan also used their title at this time in order to save trouble.

Shen Mu said: "Not only that, but I will also find a way to let their Zampu know about this!" ”

Yang Fan frowned and said, "Tubo Zampu and Non Qinling are already at odds? ”

Uzile interjected and laughed: "What's more, they are so intrigued. ”

Yang Fan thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid this plan is useless. ”

Shen Mu smiled and said, "Why is it useless?" ”

Yang Fan said: "Receiving this kind of thing about the sudden fall of the ten surnames, the movement is too big, and it can't be hidden from people at all, even if it is about how Qinling wants to bring such a huge Liliang under his rule, he can only secretly discuss with this side and secretly do something, about the matter of appeasement, he won't be stupid enough not to tell Zampu, right?" ”

Shen Mu smiled slyly and said slowly: "After all, Qinling is the prime minister of one dynasty, and he is the prime minister who is in power and makes Zampu look at him impatiently, will he hear the slightest rumor and run impatiently to Zampu to show his merits?"

It will take time for him to confirm the sincerity of Uzil. He has to come up with a way to take Liliang of the Ten Surname Tribe into his own hands first, which will take more time, before that, he will not rashly report to Zampu, and what I want is this time! ”

Yang Fan suddenly said: "I understand! As long as Tubo Zampu hears this news from other people before Lun Qinling, even if Lun Qinling rushes to confess the matter to Zanpu again, Zanpu will not believe him, and will even be more vigilant, because he will think that he has the eyes and ears of Lun Qinling by his side! ”

Shen Mu cocked his big finger at him again, hahadaxiao got up, and Wu Zhile also let out a hehehe laugh on the side.

Yang Fan looked at these two people, only to feel that these two people were both literate and martial, one was as fierce as a wolf, the other was as cunning as a fox, and he himself probably had some of the wildness of a wolf and the alertness of a fox, but these two aspects were still too immature compared to these two people, and he still had a long way to go before he could grow up......
