Chapter 430: Forget the other party
Without advanced weapons, it is very difficult to win against the Turks.
I have to admit that the Turkic cavalry is the most powerful in the world today, and no one can beat it.
"Clean up the battlefield." The little commander wiped the blood stains of the broadsword and ordered in a deep voice.
Most of the 5,000 Turkic horsemen died, hundreds fled, and as for the other subjects of the tribe, the Wei army did not think of invading.
Most of the cavalry who came over were captured, and almost all of the people who remained in the tribe were civilians, so there was no need to do anything to the civilians.
The news of the Wei army's invasion of the Turks from the Gaochang border soon spread to other tribes.
Intramuros.
When the Turkic Khan, Little Khan and others learned the news, they immediately convened an emergency meeting.
This time the meeting was heavy, and all the high-ranking Turkic leaders gathered here with sad faces.
"The minister suspects that the Great Wei and the Western Regions have reached an alliance, so they will send troops from Gaochang." The Turkic Prime Minister said in a deep voice.
If Great Wei was killed from his own direction, the Turks were not worried at all.
Because the details of the cooperation have now been discussed with Xue Yantuo, as long as the Great Wei sends troops, the two sides will help.
But the Wei army came from the direction of the Western Regions, and the nature of the situation was different.
If the Great Wei Western Regions reached cooperation, the eastern and western sides would attack the Turks, and the Turks would be attacked by the enemy on their backs, which would be a big problem.
"Father Khan, sons heard that some time ago, Gaochang intended to annex Loulan, and the Holy Maiden of Loulan sent an envoy to Dawei, hoping that Dawei would help solve the internal trouble.
If Erchen's guess is right, Great Wei should only cooperate with Loulan, and has nothing to do with other countries. The little Turkic Khan said slowly.
"So the Wei army came from the Western Regions on purpose, so that we are scared, and we can't tell the fake news?"
"Li Xingchen wants us to think that Great Wei and the entire Western Regions have cooperated!"
"It's so insidious, I want to make us give in without a fight and agree to garrison the troops."
The ministers discussed a lot, with anger in their tones, and Da Wei was treacherous.
The Turkic Khan nodded, feeling that it was either impossible or to scare them, but the alliance was not actually reached.
But at present, it is all speculation, and the conclusion needs to be supported by facts, otherwise once the guess is wrong, the consequences are endless.
In this way, the Turks immediately sent spies to find out the information.
Soon, the news came back.
"Report, the Wei army fought with Gaochang, the border city is in the hands of the Wei army, and Gaochang has no other actions."
This news was no less than a thunderbolt, and the Turkic high-level was stunned again.
As we all know, the countries of the Western Regions are united with each other, and once a foreign enemy invades, they will put aside friction and work together with the outside world.
However, Gaochang was beaten by Great Wei, and the countries did not react?
This... Isn't that what you guessed before? What happened?
Soon, the khan sent more spies to continue the inquiry.
"Report!"
A Turkic soldier ran into the palace.
"Khan, the envoys of Great Wei have come to urge again."
The Turkic Khan was furious, "Damn it! is trying to force Ben Khan to compromise again and again, Da Wei should be damned! ”
"Father Khan, let's hear if the envoy of Great Wei has anything else to say." The Turkic Khan said in a deep voice.
Soon, the Great Wei envoy came slowly, with an arrogant attitude.
"What do you Da Wei want to do?" A Turkic minister shouted sharply.
The messenger squinted and said disdainfully, "What is your attitude?" Dare to yell at me? Is this your Turkic attitude towards Great Wei? ”
As a messenger, the envoy put his position very high, and in his eyes, the status of the Turkic khans was lower than his.
The minister's face was red, and "you" didn't reply for a long time.
The Turkic Khan wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "What do you Great Wei want to do?" The copper mine is occupied by you, and I won't say anything about it.
Now you still want to use this as an excuse to send troops over, is it too much of a deception? ”
Xiao Khan's tone was questioning, very dissatisfied, but he didn't want to tear his face with Da Wei.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you must know that Great Wei has no intention of occupying Turkic territory, and we have sent troops here to help with mining, so that we can evacuate the Turks as soon as possible and make your territory intact, right?
All this is for your Turkic considerations, how can you not know the hearts of good people?
Not only do you not know good intentions, but you slander us? What is unreasonable is that you are Turkic, not my Great Wei.
Great Wei has always wanted friendly relations with the Turks..."
The Great Wei envoy smiled.
He didn't hear the other party's questioning, but just pushed back all the faults in a grand manner.
The Tianci copper mine is here, and he doesn't want to tear his face with the Turks.
If you don't have to, communicate first, and then fight!
The Turkic Khan frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Is it true that your Great Wei troops are just helping with mining, and will not harass my Turkic people?" For no other purpose? ”
This is a step-down question, first explain the situation, and then decide whether to let the soldiers come or not.
If you die in one bite, you will be attacked back and forth, and the Turks will be in danger.
Wait for the spies to find out the news before making a final decision.
The envoy nodded, "Yes, I am a great Wei country, a country of etiquette, how can I harass the people?"
Khan can rest assured, I hope you can understand that my 50,000 troops of Dawei came here purely for mining, and by the way, to protect your Turks from being invaded by other countries, this is free of charge, why not? ”
As an emissary, eloquence is first-class, and there is absolute confidence to persuade the Turks.
But with the exception of the Turkic Khan, there was a burst of ministers staring at him with expressionless faces, as if his left ear was going in and out of his right ear.
Khan waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "This matter is important, we have to discuss it carefully, and the Wei envoy will go down and rest first." ”
The Great Wei envoy sneered in his heart and nodded and left.
After that, the khan asked the ministers for their opinions.
Although the ministers were expressionless and stiffened just now, they were already furious in their hearts, and they gritted their teeth with hatred for Da Wei.
"What do you think?"
Then there was a heated discussion, and for a whole day, a decision was finally made to agree to the entry of Great Wei into the army.
The envoy returned to Great Wei and brought back the good news, during which the news of Gao Changguo was also transmitted back to Great Wei.
Li Xingchen looked up to the sky and laughed, conveying the meaning of the garrison to the Turpan Prime Minister.
The prime minister was not stupid and did not agree, so a tug-of-war began.
It's okay to be a vassal country, but it's not okay to garrison troops.
Li Xingchen didn't have a tug of war with him, and directly waved his hand: "Since this is the case, then I don't need your country to become a vassal state of Great Wei."
I can also cooperate with Turpan, but I must return the five million silver coins in one go. ”
Garrisoning troops at the same time in Gaocang and Turkic, Turpan will be able to agree sooner or later, and there is no hurry.
Turpan was overjoyed and persuaded Li Xingchen that he was very happy.
"Your Majesty, then I'll go back and prepare a cooperation agreement."
Li Xingchen smiled, "What's the hurry, return the money first, and then discuss the details of the follow-up cooperation." ”
The big minister twisted his eyebrows, which makes it clear that he doesn't believe that Turpan will pay back!
After all, with so much money, it is also right to worry.
Because of the signing of the cooperation agreement and the efficiency, Turpan can be delayed again and again, and it will be returned in the end.
The money is not a small amount, it can be delayed for as long as it can, and if it can be given, it will not be given, and it is best to drag it until the other party forgets it.
