Chapter 254: Eastern and Western Turks

The leading Turks turned their heads and glared at everyone and shouted: "Since ancient times, the two countries have been at war without fighting!" Why, do you want to go against the training? ”

"Huh." He Shuai took a few steps forward and sneered, "This sentence is about the two parties, when they negotiate under the condition of equal strength." It's not like now, you are vainly preparing to attack the Tang Dynasty and occupy my territory! ”

"We have no plans to attack Datang!" The leading Turkic face was dazed.

"Fart!" Liu Peng scolded on the side, "You have to tell the truth, I still respect you as a man!" If you don't even dare to admit this for the sake of compromise, I'll kill you right now!" ”

The leading Turkic monk was confused, and said in confusion: "We really have no plans to attack the Tang Dynasty?" You see, this is the letter that we have ordered me to escort, but only to your commander. As he spoke, he took out a wax-sealed letter from his inner armor, "If we really have the heart to go to war, we won't have just three people!" Although you have tens of thousands of horses here, our Turkic cavalry is not vegetarian. ”

Liu Peng was about to step forward to grab the weapon, but he Shuai pulled him and said, "I am really the marshal of the headquarters army, can I read the letter now?" His words are unquestionable.

The leading Turkic couldn't help but look at He Shuai again, and sighed lightly, "It's so young, Datang is really full of talents!" In the end, he respectfully handed over the letter in his hand to He Shuai.

He Shuai took out a knife to cut the wax seal on it, took out the letter inside, and the people next to him immediately surrounded him, and after reading it, they all looked surprised and looked at each other.

The leading Turk sweated profusely on his forehead and cautiously asked, "What's wrong?" "The heart said, if it says: Please help me kill these traitors, then I will die this time.

"Heh, how can we read and understand Turkic, you might as well translate it for us." He Shuai smiled dryly and returned the letter.

The leading Turk's heart hung high, and then he fell back, although he took the letter and said awkwardly: "It stands to reason that this is the letter that our leader Shan Yu wrote to you, and I can't overstep my authority to read it......"

"What nonsense, read it." The idiot shouted, seeing that the other party had no malicious intent, and he couldn't figure out whether the other party was friend or foe now.

He Shuai glanced at Liu Peng, who would take the initiative to go out of the tent and order the soldiers on patrol to strengthen the security around the tent, and did not order anyone to come within a radius of ten meters from the tent.

"Okay." The leading Turk slowly recited:

"Hello Dear Excellencies,

I am Shan Yu Jili, the leader of the Eastern Turks, and you Han people call me Jili Khan.

Yesterday, I heard that the Western Turks had sent troops to harass Shifang Town, a small border city, and they have now been hanged. I specially ordered my beloved general Yarkin to come to congratulate me, and I would like to represent our Eastern Turks and the Tang Dynasty to form a friendship and contribute to jointly maintain peace and stability in the steppe.

Your Excellency, please convey my respect to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and my wishes.

Shan Yu auspicious respects. ”

"Finished?" Liu Peng asked, "Such a long letter, just these few words?" ”

"Hmm!" The leading Turk nodded and handed the letter to Heshuai again, saying, "I am the Yarkin mentioned in the letter. ”

"Big brother, come on." The idiot said suddenly, pulling He Shuai aside.

"What's wrong?" He Shuai asked with a slight frown.

"Big brother, I've seen this Yarkin in the TV series." The idiot whispered, glanced back and said, "He is a famous Turkic general, but he died in battle when attacking our Tang Dynasty, how did he come to make peace with us?" ”

"Game, it's not unusual to have some historical figures, but I'm a little interested in the Eastern and Western Turks, and there aren't many records in this historical history book." He Shuai smiled, and the two returned to Yarkin's side.

He Shuai asked: "What do you mean by the auspicious khan, do you want to ally with our Datang?" ”

"Yes!" Yarkin nodded and said, "We Eastern Turks have always wanted to have friendly exchanges with the Tang Dynasty, and we are willing to bow down to the Tang Dynasty and contribute to the Tang Dynasty every year the fiercest war horses, delicious fat sheep, and of course, beautiful girls." Yarkin's face turned slightly red as he spoke.

"Then, why have you been harassing the people of my Datang border in recent years?" He Shuai frowned and asked, "Burning, killing and looting, committing a heinous crime?" ”

"We haven't attacked any territory of Datang!" Yarkin said emotionally, "No, to commit any of the crimes you mentioned, marshal." ”

"Okay, you, dare not admit it!" Liu Peng said angrily, "Come on, drag it out and cut it off!" ”

"Peng Peng, slow down!" Xing Idiot took a step forward, remembering that it was mentioned in the letter just now that the Western Turks sent troops to come yesterday, and asked Xiang Yarkin, "What is the relationship between your Eastern Turks and the Western Turks?" ”

"This ......," Yarkin thought for a moment and said, "our Turks are also fighting internally every year, and after several generations of fighting, they have gradually split into two major factions, that is, our Eastern and Western Turks!" We, the Turkic people in the east, love peace and do not want to be enemies of the Tang Dynasty, so I was ordered to come and meet with the marshal. The Western Turks, on the other hand, are bent on annexing us and ......"

"And what? Say it! The crowd asked.

"And delusionally want to go south and occupy more territory of Datang!" Yalkin said.

"Let me ask you, do the Western Turks have 300,000 elite cavalry?" He Shuai asked.

Yarkin thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Our Turks have been fighting for years and years, not to mention that the Western Turks do not have them, even all the Turkic tribes together do not have 300,000 cavalry!" Otherwise, the Western Turks would not have been deterred by this attack on Shifang Town. ”

"So, do you really want to come and talk to us? Moreover, there is no plan for the East and West to jointly attack Datang? He Shuai asked thoughtfully.

Yarkin nodded and replied, "The Tang Dynasty is now the only big country on the mainland, and we don't want to be an enemy of it. If necessary, we can even help the Tang Dynasty to attack the Western Turks, so that the war will disappear forever in the steppe left by our ancestors. ”

"Damn, I'm mistaken, I'm going to inform Chengtian immediately!" He Shuai said, and hurriedly contacted Chengtian, "Brother Chengtian, where are you now?" I have something important to discuss, can you come to Shifang Town? ”

He Shuai was worried at the moment that if Chengtian commanded the army to ignore the distinction between the Eastern and Western Turks and fight indiscriminately, would he drive the Eastern Turks who had originally shown favor to the Tang Dynasty into the camp of the Western Turks. After all, the grasslands of this era belong to this nation, and if they are really united, they will fall into a passive situation.

However, after waiting for a long time, Chengtian did not have any reply, which made He Shuai feel more and more strange.
