Chapter 752: Straight Ahead

Ma Qiao yin and yang teased angrily: "We are different from you, we spend money to fight, and you make money by fighting!" As soon as our soldiers and horses moved, countless amounts of money and food were consumed. As for you, you can fish for whatever you have, and even dig out the things hidden in the rat holes, this battle is just right for you, anyway, in the winter, you are idle! ”

This time, even Mo Si sank his face, and said slightly angrily: "I Mo Si is a Turkic Khan, even your General Li Duozuo should maintain due courtesy in front of me, you have been rude to me repeatedly, are you really unhappy with the Khan's knife?" ”

Yang Fan hurriedly arched his hand and said: "It's no wonder that the Khan is not strange, most of the men in the army don't even know a word, and their temperament is a little rude, but although my brother is rude, he is not rough, and he urges Mo Si Khan to send troops, which is indeed an important reason!" ”

Even Mo Si couldn't understand this sentence, Mo Si frowned slightly, and threw an inquiring look at him: "Huh? ”

Yang Fan straightened up and said in a deep voice: "I am a soldier, I think that when you treat the enemy, you should do whatever it takes, as long as you can hit him, it is Haode." He is strong and wants to fight, and he is weak and even more to fight, if he doesn't take advantage of your illness to kill you, will he wait for you to be strong, and then bother to clean you up? ”

This sentence was very much in line with the hearts of these Turkic leaders, and they nodded frequently one by one.

Yang Fan said: "This is not only my opinion, but also the unanimous opinion of our army. It's a pity ......"

Yang Fan shook his head and said regretfully: "It's a pity that I have taught the way of forgiveness in the court, especially when the enemy shows a little timidity and hands over the letter of surrender, those scholars in the court can't wait to jump out and talk about forgiveness!" The Khitan is capricious, the wolf is ambitious, and he slaughtered more than 200,000 of my soldiers in the east and west gorges, and we can't wait to exterminate them!

However, after they were besieged by us, they sent men to beg. The general did not dare to intercept the surrender letter, so he had to report it to the imperial court. You can yujian, what will those scholars in the court say next. Even if they don't intercede for the Khitans this time, what about after we destroy this Khitan army? ”

Yang Fan's gaze moved away from Mo Si's face, looked at the Turkic generals opposite, and said: "At that time, the imperial court will never allow us to slaughter the old and weak women and children of the Khitan, and the imperial court will definitely set aside grasslands for them to live, provide cattle, sheep, and food to comfort them!" ”

The more Yang Fan spoke, the more angry he became, although his face was always as calm as water, but the anger in his voice gradually became uncontrollable. The speed of his speech became faster and faster, and his voice became higher and higher, and he seemed to realize that he was too excited, so he hurriedly took a long breath to ease his emotions.

What he said was really a common problem of the Central Plains Dynasty. Their extreme sense of superiority has always made them too tolerant of the invaders. And the concept of a gentleman is light on profit. and they were ashamed to demand benefits from the vanquished. This is especially true for the Turkic people, and Yang Fan's words resonate with them.

Mo Si touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "So, you want to borrow our hands to cut down the Khitan people and eradicate the roots?" ”

Yang Fan said: "This is only one reason, another reason. Although the Khitans have been trapped by us, defeat is a matter of time, but if we attack hard, we will suffer heavy casualties. If you are sleepy, you don't attack. Once the imperial court has a heart of forgiveness again, it is inevitable that the tiger will return to the mountain. Therefore, the general sent us to urge the Mosi Khan to send troops to attack his rear road, as long as their foundation is eradicated, the Khitans will collapse without a fight. ”

Mo Si smiled slyly and said, "Oh? But why should I promise you? Since you are so frank, then I might as well confess, if I stand by and watch, then if the Khitans are forgiven by your court, you will leave a strong enemy in northern Xinjiang, and if they jump over the wall in a hurry, they will weaken your liliang, no matter what you do, it will be more beneficial to us, right? ”

Mo Si looked around, and all the leaders let out a knowing laugh.

Yang Fan said quietly: "Indeed, it is indeed beneficial to you, but there are big and small benefits. When the Khan sends troops, he can get big profits, and the Khan can get small profits, big profits and small profits, what is the Khan willing to take? ”

Mo Si became interested, and said with a smile: "Oh? Tell me, what is a big profit and what is a small profit? ”

Yang Fan said: "This small profit, the Khan has already said, leave an enemy for me in the northern frontier, or weaken our army!" However, once this enemy is strong, the Khan thinks that it will only threaten our dynasty. Who is more threatened than our dynasty and the Turks, who live nomadic in the steppes like them?

If they are wiped out and weaken the military of our dynasty, with the huge population of our Central Plains, it will actually only take a few years to recover. Moreover, whether there is such a process or not, it is impossible for our country to take the initiative to start a war against your country, whether to start a war or not has always depended on your country, and the Khan thinks which one is more beneficial to your country?

When I say big profit, there are both far and near. This far-reaching advantage lies in the elimination of a nation that is likely to become strong and threaten the hegemony of the Turkic steppe! As for the quick benefit, that is, the Khan sent troops to destroy his foundations, and the defenders of their base land were not many, and the Khan could achieve his goal at the lowest cost.

And once the Khan wins, aren't the wealth and women of the Khitan people all in the Khan's pocket? If you are willing to send troops, you will not only be able to capture all the property of their entire tribe, but also get many women and children, and ...... Grassland! I don't think anyone, leaders, would say no to such a benefit, right? ”

Yang Fan smiled and looked at the Turkic leaders who were listening triumphantly. Mo Si suddenly found that the greedy light was shining in the eyes of these big leaders, and most of them had been moved by this Wuzhou envoy, and couldn't help but secretly scream that it was not good. He can only lead the Turkic affairs, and how can he let others, especially an outsider, influence the will of the Turks.

Mo Si immediately coughed and said, "Your intention, Ben Khan has already understood, sending troops is not a trivial matter, we need to think about it." Come on, arrange a felt tent, and ask the envoys of Zhou to rest! ”

Yang Fan knew that this matter could not be rushed, and he could not show an eager look, so he stood up, gave a salute to Mo Si's chest, and retreated with the guards.

Ma Qiao walked beside him, majestic and high-spirited, looking like no one was around, when he looked at the Turks, his eyes revealed a touch of disdain and hostility, even if he came to ask the Turks to send troops to fight side by side with him at the moment, which is in line with the consistent attitude of the Tang Dynasty soldiers towards the Turks, and it seems that he is quite confident.

"Okay, don't let people draw a big pie, one by one like a hungry wolf!" As soon as Yang Fan and Ma Qiao left, Mo Si patted the table unhappily.

"The Khitans sent envoys, saying that they had defeated the Zhou army and chased the Zhou army, and we needed to send troops to settle the battle and completely cut Hebei Province from the territory of the Zhou State. And Li Duozuo's envoys said that they had defeated the Khitan, besieged the rest of the Khitan, and even Li Quanzhong died in Macheng, who was telling the truth? ”

Silent sipping this question, Deng Shi woke everyone up from the beautiful vision that Yang Fan had conceived for them.

Su Mumu said: "Khan, why don't you call the Khitan envoy and ask if you know?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Khan, call the Khitan envoy, let's know who is real and who is fake as soon as we ask! ”

At this point, it was not easy for Mo Si to interrogate the Khitans alone, so that the leaders felt that they did not trust them, so they had to order someone to bring the Khitan envoy up.

He sat on a wolfskin mattress, and there was a small stove on the ground in front of him, and a small pot was hanging on the stove, the mutton in the pot was boiling, and the fragrance was overflowing, and the big man held a dark red wine gourd in one hand, and made the knife out of the pot with hot mutton in the other, and when it was slightly cool, he munched the mutton and poured a little wine.

This man's name is Kestan, he is the shaman of the Khitan, and he is the envoy who came to the Turkic alliance on the order of Sun Wanrong, he knows that today is the day when he silently summons all the ministries to discuss the dispatch of troops, and he is anxious to wait for a reply, so although the wine worm makes him drool, he still refrains from getting drunk.

He was drinking wine, the curtain of the tent was lifted, the cold wind carried pieces of snowflakes blowing in, Kestan ate in the tent and was hot, not much clothing, couldn't help but shiver, looked up, and saw a Khitan guard standing at the tent, hugged his fists and said: "Great Wu, Mo Si Khan is invited!" ”

Kestan was in good spirits, and hurriedly put on the stopper of the wine gourd and hung it on his waist, stood up and said, "Dress me!" ”

The guards sent by Mo Si to urge Kestan to wait outside for a long time only to see several Khitan warriors walking slowly with their great witches.

Kestan wore a hat made of colorful pheasant feathers, a pair of white skull necklaces made of cow bone around his neck, a skirt of broken leather tied around his waist, and an ebony staff hanging from a ponytail in his hand, and his expression was extremely solemn.

Kestan followed the people until he walked outside the Khan's tent, and the accompanying guards stayed outside, and Kestan had already been introduced into the tent by the guards waiting in front of the tent, and as soon as Kestan entered the tent, his eyes swept away, and he saw that the tent was full of the leaders of the Turkic tribes, and their eyes were fixed on him.

Kestan bowed slightly, and saluted the Mo Si of the main seat: "Kestan has seen Mo Si Khan!" ”

Mo Si said politely: "The big witch doesn't have to be formal, watch and sit!" ”

Someone immediately led Kestan to the back of an empty seat on the side, which was the same seat that Yang Fan had sat on just now, but the table had been cleaned up. Kestan sat down behind a few cases and said calmly to Mo Si: "The Khan has summoned today, but the request of my Khan has already been decided?" ”

He snorted his head and said: "After the Great Witch explained his intentions, Ben Khan has been thinking about this matter, and today he convened the leaders of all the departments in order to discuss a result. Ben Khan thinks that since you want to cooperate with our people, the most important thing is to be honest with each other. ”

Kestan's eyes flickered for a moment under the messy hair, and he said in a deep voice: "You should be like this!" ”

Mo Si said expressionlessly: "So, Ben Khan doesn't know how to use psychic skills, how does the Great Witch plan to let Ben Khan form an alliance with the dead Li Duzhong?" ”
