Chapter 171: The Crown Princess's Counterattack Seven
In the winter, he made a lot of tricycles, and Zheng Guanyin was able to load and take away the belongings he obtained from the family. And out of this came many living creatures, horses, oxen, sheep, pigs...... All are in charge of the rope pulling cart. The weight of the sheep is not good, and they are not expected to be able to do heavy work, ten sheep can pull a vehicle with a small load. However, the weight of the pig is not bad, and the cargo pulled is a little more.
Because of the addition of so many things, and the addition of many pregnant women, this time the speed of travel was even slower. Fortunately, Li Er and the magistrate should not be able to see them. Along the way, they gathered a lot of displaced people. These displaced people are caused by various reasons, and there are many capable people among them. Zheng Guanyin asked Zhong Libo to select the capable people for registration, and when it was time to use them, he directly looked for people according to the roster.
Three years later, the group finally walked out of the Tang Dynasty and entered the territory of Xue Yantuo. Xue Yantuo was originally one of the Tiele tribes, which was formed by the merger of Xue and Yantuo, and was originally engaged in nomadism in the Tula River Valley in Mobei, and belonged to the Western Turks. Now that the Western Turks are in civil strife, Xue Yantuo doesn't know where to go. After Zheng Guanyin's group entered their sphere of influence, Xue Yantuo immediately became vigilant, fearing that Zheng Guanyin would have bad thoughts about their tribe.
Zheng Guanyin also knew that this was a sensitive period, so he sent a letter to Xue Yantuo's leader, Yi Nan, saying that he and the others were just borrowing the road, and would not participate in the war between their tribes, let alone have any wrong thoughts about Xue Yantuo.
Yi Nan breathed a sigh of relief and talked about Zheng Guanyin with his subordinates.
"This Zheng family said that she borrowed it from us, it shouldn't be a lie, her people have brought so many supplies, it looks like they are going to travel a long way." Yi Nan said.
The subordinates nodded in agreement: "This Zheng Niangniang has a good reputation in the Central Plains, and she shouldn't do anything to break her word and gain weight." ”
Yi Nan said: "Then put them down and leave them alone." ”
One of his subordinates said: "It is said that this Zheng Niangniang is very knowledgeable, chief, should we ask Zheng Niangniang for attention?" ”
Yi Nan's heart moved when he heard this, and now that the Western Turks are in civil strife, Xue Yantuo is a little overwhelmed and doesn't know where to go. Some people suggested that Yi Nan take Xue Yantuo to defect to the Eastern Turks, but the rule of the Eastern Turks' Jieli Khan was brutal, and Yi Nan did not want to defect to the Eastern Turks.
"I'm going to visit Zheng Niangniang." Yi Nan is a man of action, so he immediately rode his horse and took a team of people to meet Zheng Guanyin. His team was all brave and good at fighting, but fortunately, there were not many of them, and when they galloped, they were not attacked by Zheng Guanyin's soldiers as enemies.
Yi Nan saw Zheng Guanyin and found that this Zheng Niangniang looked slender and weak on the surface, but she was graceful and graceful, she was not a weak woman, and her attitude towards Zheng Guanyin was a little better.
"Zheng Niangniang, I came to ask Zheng Niangniang for a plan this time." Yi Nan smiled and said his purpose.
Zheng Guanyin smiled slightly and said, "The leader of Yi Nan is worried about whether Xue Yantuo will return to the Eastern Turks?" ”
Yi Nan's eyes widened, he hadn't said it yet, this one actually knew his troubles and the purpose of coming this time. This woman is amazing.
"There is a god Zhuge Liang who can pinch and calculate among the people of the Central Plains, and in my opinion, Zheng Niangniang is another Zhuge Liang." Yi Nan gave a thumbs up and praised.
Zheng Guanyin hurriedly said: "I can't match Zhuge Liang, the leader can praise it." ”
"But, though, the mother can afford it." Yi Nan didn't know Zhuge Liang's prestige and skills in the Central Plains, he didn't even know what Zhuge Liang did, he only knew such a name, so he used it, and Zheng Guanyin's face turned red with praise.
"Zheng Niangniang, do you think it's appropriate for our Xue Yantuo to defect to the Eastern Turks?" After consciously praising and closing the distance, Yi Nan opened his mouth to ask.
Zheng Guanyin smiled and said, "Doesn't the leader already have an answer in his heart?" Jieli Khan was not a good leader. ”
Yi Nan nodded, and asked again: "But what if we don't defect to the Eastern Turks?" ”
Zheng Guanyin: "Self-reliance. ”
"What?" Yi Nan was taken aback, "You, what did you say?" ”
Zheng Guanyin repeated: "Self-reliance." ”
Yi Nan was moved, but finally shook his head and said: "Our strength is not comparable to that of the Eastern Turks, if we stand on our own, the Eastern Turks will send troops to attack us and destroy us." ”
Zheng Guanyin said: "After Li Er and the Turks fought a war, they wanted to weaken Jieli's power, you can defect to the Tang Dynasty, use the Tang Dynasty as a backer, and fight against the Eastern Turks." Xue Yantuo can also become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty in Mobei, and you are the lord of the country. ”
Zheng Guanyin didn't help Li Er, but in history, Xue Yantuo did just that. This practice greatly divided the power of the Eastern Turks, making the threat of the Tang Dynasty from the Turks much smaller. Zheng Guanyin's original body has a grudge against Li Er, but he has no enmity with the people of Datang, and Zheng Guanyin also hopes that Datang will be good.
In addition, Zheng Guanyin can see that this Yi Nan looks arrogant and brave on the surface, but he is actually very scheming and has great ambitions, this kind of person will not be subservient to others, give him a chance, he will toss a great cause. In fact, it is true that Yi Nan established the Xue Yantuo Khanate, and the Eastern Turks fought against each other, and the Hui Hui, Bayegu, Aqiu, Tongluo, Fugu, Xia and other ethnic minorities have been attached, and its territory is east to the Yan, west to the West Turks, south to the sand moraine, north to the Kulunshui, there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and the strength is almost equal to the East Turks. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, after the defeat of the Eastern Turks, most of the Eastern Turks were moved to the south of the Yellow River to settle down, and Xue Yantuo took the opportunity to rapidly expand his power, occupying most of the territory of the original Eastern Turks, with 200,000 elite soldiers, and entered the heyday.
Yi Nan was already completely moved, Lord of a country, how could he refuse such a huge temptation? What if he is the lord of a vassal state affiliated with the Tang Dynasty? What about the Western Turks who were previously attached to them? Now it is not from the Western Turks. When your vassal kingdom becomes strong in the future, you can also become independent from the Tang Dynasty!
He didn't know that Datang was not a Western Turk, and Li Er would not release what he had in hand. Xue Yantuo wanted independence, Li Er simply supported the Eastern Turks and made them enemies, and later sent the general Li Tao to destroy Xue Yantuo, set up thirteen states in Mobei, and placed Yanran to protect the palace to manage these border states.
"Thank you Zheng Niangniang." Yi Nan stood up and gave Zheng Guanyin a long look, the ambition in his heart was completely provoked by Zheng Guanyin, and he couldn't go back immediately to discuss the matter of self-reliance with his clansmen.
Zheng Guanyin didn't seem to see Yi Nan's urgency, and said to him: "Leader Yi Nan, I want to do a business with you!" ”
