Chapter 252: Tuyuhun's Hope
Day 5.
Finally came to the grassland, according to Li Xiang's thoughts, he and the grassland also have various fates, but I didn't expect to come over so soon, the eldest grandson Wuji has sent someone to inform Prime Minister Midu, Prime Minister Midu and Li Xiang have made an appointment with a place, Li Xiang is galloping on the grassland at the moment.
Although there are many people in power on the grassland, Li Xiang is not familiar with them, once he falls into a tug-of-war with these people, Chang'an City can't afford to wait at all, so Li Xiang can only start with Prime Minister Midu, and this person is very brainy, and some things don't need to be said too much.
At this moment, Prime Minister Midu and Tuyuhun Khan are also on their way.
The eldest grandson Wuji's subordinate is the most trusted person around Prime Minister Midu, but at this moment he can't care so much, when he admitted his identity, Prime Minister Midu was directly dumbfounded, many secrets were known by this guy, and the first thought at that time was to cut off his head.
But the border pass emergency report made the prime minister of Midu unable to do this, five days ago they received the news that the Tubo country on the plateau sent 150,000 troops, although it is still in the process of assembly, but they dispatched so many troops at once, the target must be Tuyuhun, and then received the news that Li Xiang wanted to meet with him, of course he had to meet Li Xiang first.
"What do you mean that the devil wants to see us? Does he want us to pay for the land? ”
After the last negotiation, Tuyuhun Khan is no longer that courageous, and his whole person is much weaker than before, and he looks more than ten years older than his age.
"Don't worry, I don't think it will be that kind of thing, if he wants to cooperate with Tubo, there is no need to run thousands of miles to the grassland, he should have other things to do when he comes to us, our Tuyuhun is now in the stage of imminent death, if you want to say that there is a chance, it should be on that person."
Prime Minister Midu said with great certainty, it is strange to say, there are not many times when he and Li Xiang meet, and most of the unpleasant things are full of unpleasant things, but when Tuyuhun encounters a desperate situation, he feels that Li Xiang can give them a way.
"I hope you're right."
Tuyuhun Khan also hoped that Midu Cheng was right, during this period of time, the tribes below fought against each other, and now the army of Tubo has appeared, he really feels a little powerless.
However, the internal contradictions can be resolved, because the conflicts over the grassland have slowly decreased recently, but if the army of the Tubo State is the original, according to their current strength, it will not be able to stop it at all, at most it will be a few months, and Tuyuhun is likely to be occupied by the Tubo State.
"Great Khan, before we start meeting, I have something to say next."
Prime Minister Midu hesitated again and again, and finally had to say this sentence, otherwise it would be easy for the negotiation to break down according to Li Xiang's character, and the scene of the last negotiation was still vivid, and the negotiation would be overturned if he disagreed, so Prime Minister Midu had to have a discretionary decision.
"We have been monarchs and ministers for so many years, there are good times and bad times, but now at the moment of crisis, do you have anything you can not say? Just say it. ”
There was suspicion between the two in the past, but when there were all kinds of contradictions in Tuyuhun, the relationship between the monarch and the minister eased a lot, although the Midu tribe lost a lot of interests in this redistribution, but at least Tuyuhun persevered, and the prime minister of Midu also understood this, and the Midu tribe without Tuyuhun could not continue to walk, the two sides were in a relationship of cold lips and teeth, but unfortunately the other tribes on the grassland did not understand this, and now there are still some tribes burning war.
"Whatever the devil says to us, we're going to listen to him this time."
After Prime Minister Midu's words came out, Tuyuhun Khan looked puzzled, he is obviously our enemy, if we listen to him for everything, does he want us to die and listen to him?
"I understand what the Great Khan is worried about, if it is some extremely rude requests, I will not listen, but when it comes to the situation of various countries, especially our current situation, we have no choice, either to the Tang Dynasty or to Tibet, which is better? The Great Khan's heart should be very clear. ”
Prime Minister Midu's words hit the heart of Tuyuhun Khan like a heavy hammer, there is no way for a small country to hold on, Tuyuhun can have such a quiet life for such a long time, it can be said that the two big empires around are not ready, and now they have stretched out their claws, and Tuyuhun's days can be imagined.
Either fall to Tubo or to the Tang Dynasty......
Tuyuhun Khan kept repeating these two sentences in his heart, he also thought that he could build a big empire, and even be able to subdue the two surrounding countries, but helplessly, regardless of the territory or the people, Tuyuhun and these two countries are too far behind, so even if he has ambitions, it is impossible to realize that wish.
"The Tibetans are cruel, and if we surrender to them, or if they occupy us, then all of us will become their slaves."
Tuyuhun Khan has not been idle in recent years, and has sent a lot of people to both countries, and naturally knows how the Tubo State treats the slaves below, not to mention the people of the occupied countries, even the lower class people of the Tubo State themselves, their lives are not good.
On the other hand, on the side of the Tang Dynasty, when the Turkic Khan surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, he is still living happily in Chang'an City, although he has no freedom, but at least he has no worries about food and clothing, and he can participate in various banquets every day, even the Turkic people, except for some rebels, are now living on the grassland, and there is not much change.
Woowoo......
The spies in front sounded their horns, indicating that they had discovered an unknown person, and this place was close to the place agreed by both parties, which meant that Li Xiang and they had arrived.
Prime Minister Midu silently counted the days in his heart, this guy was able to run to the grassland in such a short period of time with the respect of a prince, and slept in the open along the way, I don't know how much hardship he suffered, such a person is still Li Shimin's grandson, if he becomes the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, why is the Tang Dynasty not prosperous?
Tuyuhun Khan also saw the situation ahead, and he himself was accompanied by thousands of iron horsemen, but at this moment, there were only about twenty people around Li Xiang, you must know that this is the grassland of Tuyuhun, how dare he?
