Gaochang State Military Camp

"Are all these Xue Yantuo people dead? We managed to buy them some time, but these guys didn't do anything, and where did they die overnight? ”

General Morun said as he ate the roast leg of lamb in his hand, and sitting next to him was Gao Changguo's envoy Wadahan.

"Do you think it's an ordinary person on the other side? That is the elite of the Tang Dynasty defeated the Turkic army, defeated the Goguryeo army, and defeated Xue Yantuo's army, they are not easy to deal with, now Xue Yantuo has more than 10,000 people left, they have to be careful? ”

Wadahan is the younger brother of the king of Gaochangguo, and he is the prince of Gaochangguo, but he is only half-brother, otherwise he would have been crowned the prince a long time ago, but relying on his ingenuity, he also has his own place in the officialdom of Gaochangguo.

The reason why they accepted Xue Yantuo Khan was also because they fell in love with the treasures in the hands of Xue Yantuo Khan, after Xue Yantuo Khan arrived in Gaochang Kingdom, he was like a boy who scattered wealth, and fed Gao Changguo to his heart's content, so there was the previous scene, Gao Changguo promised to help him deal with Datang, but it was only a delay, and it was impossible to really be an enemy of Datang, and he had to do the rest by himself.

"We only agreed to six days, if people really come over after six days, then you have to go out, we can't really break with Datang, we trade more goods with Datang every year, if Datang seals the border, it will be too much loss for us, we can't do such a thing for Xue Yantuo."

General Mo Lun is also an opponent of the imperial court, he does not have any good impression of Xue Yantuo Khan, he feels that because such a person has a bad relationship with the Tang Dynasty, it is simply water in his brain, and when he met with Su Dingfang yesterday, that kind of lying made him feel very disgusted.

All the countries in the Western Regions want to make friends with the Tang Dynasty, and now there is such a good opportunity, we should hand over Xue Yantuo Khan, so that we can not only exchange for the favor of the Tang Dynasty, but also reduce the security risks in our territory, since Xue Yantuo Khan's people came in, theft has occurred everywhere in Gaochang Kingdom.

Xue Yantuo Khan's subordinates are not good, they didn't bring out a lot of things when they fled, plus they gave gifts everywhere after coming to Gaochang, they didn't have much money in their hands, so they started to rob everywhere, fortunately they didn't grab the head of the Gaochang caravan, but the caravans of other countries have suffered a lot.

This will not affect the economy of Gaochang Kingdom in a short period of time, but the impact is also obvious after a long time, others think that the safety here is not good, then people will not come to Gaochang to do business, and in the end, Gaochang Kingdom's taxes will be greatly reduced, General Mo Lun has already sent the song up, but helplessly Gaochang Guo has eaten too many benefits of Xue Yantuo Khan, and no one has taken this matter seriously.

"After six days, it won't be our business, I have already written to Xue Yantuo's khan about the situation on the border, and he also promised to deal with this matter within six days, in fact, this matter itself is very risky, even if the Tang envoy has something outside our territory, but on our border, we can't get out of it."

Wadahan is a far-sighted person, but because of his status as a concubine, not many people in Gaochang Kingdom fancy him, otherwise he would not have been allowed to be this envoy.

"Then why are we doing such a thing? If Datang misunderstands, we will have to suffer in the future. ”

General Moren was puzzled and said, since you can see this clearly, why don't you tell the king?

"Who do we include in this? If it were just the two of us, then I would immediately go to see the envoys of the Tang Dynasty and push Xue Yantuo Khan out, but the question is what are you and me, you are a border general, and I am a king's cousin, to put it mildly, when Xue Yantuo Khan gave gifts, you and I were not on his list. ”

When Wadahan talked about this, he was also angry in his heart, Xue Yantuo Khan was like a boy with scattered wealth, but what was it for him? It's just fifty taels of gold, and for ordinary people, fifty cars of gold is a lot, but for Wadahan, it's like asking for food.

Take the princes of Gaochang Kingdom as an example, they all received two hundred taels of gold, which is four times that of Wadahan, what do those people do, it is nothing more than to accompany him in the royal city to spend all day drinking, Wadahan is an envoy who has contact with the Tang Dynasty, just because of his identity as a concubine, don't you know how to give gifts?

General Morun was silent, it was indeed the same as what Wadahan said, the two of them were artificially young, don't look at them as nobles in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of real nobles, they are insignificant little people.

"You should write another letter to His Majesty, I saw very clearly in the morning, there were wolves attacking them last night, but no one was injured, but dozens of wolves died, how hard the wolves on the Gobi Desert attacked, you know better than me, if the wolves attacked us last night, how many people would have died."

General Mo Lun thought for a while and said, he is just a small frontier general, he is not ranked in Gaochang Kingdom, and there are only a few thousand people under his hands, but Wadahan is different, although he is the younger brother of the king's concubine, but after all, he is the younger brother of the king.

"I've said it many times, and now it's going to be annoying, we can't save this country, the people at the top are rotten, they can't do anything but take bribes, but we can do something......"

Vadahan's eyes revealed a gleam, and General Morun next to him didn't know what he was thinking, but General Morun knew one thing, that is, the people of Gaochang Royal City once said that Vadahan was the smartest person in their city.

"What do you need me for?"

General Morun is not smart and only has brute strength, but his grandmother told him that he will never suffer if he follows a smart person, and in his eyes Vadahan is the smartest person, so he has to follow Vadahan.

"Prepare some cattle and sheep, as well as other supplies, and send them to the Datang military camp in person to express your goodwill, not Gao Changguo's goodwill......"
