Left behind in Dingxiang was the eldest son of Jieli Khan, Ashina Dumin. This man followed his father's brutality and arbitrariness, and because he was the successor of Jieli Neiding, his subordinates were very jealous of him.

"Report, the eldest prince, the Tang Dynasty sent troops to attack the Liang State, and the Liang division sent people to ask for help."

"Liang Shidu? That coward? If it weren't for the prestige of my Great Turk, he would have been killed long ago. A waste ...... Forget it, let people in. Ashina Dumin waved his hand to let people in.

The envoy of Liang State held a scepter and respectfully handed over the letter of state, telling his grievances.

Ashina Dumin said contemptuously: "Master Liang is really a waste, and he wants our Great Turk to save him at every turn." Okay, isn't it just 100,000 Tang Army? I sent troops to save you, how much benefit can you give? ”

Yes? This one...... The envoy didn't expect it, what are these words? How is it different from what Xiang Guo explained. We're going to help you block the damage, and we're going to have to pay you?

For a while, this person didn't know how to go on.

Fortunately, the Turks still had someone who understood, and Ashinadur, who was assisting next to him, spoke, "The eldest prince, the Tang Dynasty has raised 100,000 soldiers, and those who come are not good." We have to guard against it, a Liang master is obviously not worth their trouble, and it is obviously aimed at us. ”

Ashina Du Min raised his eyebrows, "Cousin Duer, the year before last, we hit the Tang Dynasty under Chang'an City, they made a covenant, and the Tang Dynasty paid tribute to us every year. How? It's only been two years, and the wings are stiff, and you dare to use troops against us? ”

Ashina Dur is the son of the previous Khan Chuluo, and the throne should have been passed to Dur, but Jieli rose strongly, and Dur could only swallow his anger as the patriarch of his own tribe, and usually participated in Turkic politics.

Because of Ashinadur's identity and level, he was very embarrassed in the upper echelons of the Turks, and the eldest prince Ashina Dumin had always been jealous and wary of this cousin, and the two secretly did not deal with each other.

But after all, it is all Turkic state affairs, Ashinadur is a public heart, if his uncle Jieli is here, he is not worried about accidents, although Jieli is brutal, but he is really eloquent. But this eldest prince is different, everyone scolds him behind his back.

"The eldest prince, the Tang Dynasty did not move early or late, but when the Great Khan sent 100,000 troops to the east, they raised 100,000 troops and came? Obviously, he knew the purpose of the Khan, so as to solve the danger of Youzhou. Therefore, we should gather our forces to resist the pressure from this side. Wait for the Khan to level Youzhou, recapture those war horses, and go back to settle accounts with Chang'an! ”

Ashina Du Min stroked his hands and praised: "Yes, what Cousin Dur said is right. But don't you know that Father Khan took away 100,000 elites, and it takes time for us to gather troops now, and it is not easy to gather another 100,000 elites. Instead of this, it is better to let Liang Shidu fight with Datang first, so that they can both lose, so that we can safely block Datang's attack. ”

A group of stinky feet praised one after another: "The eldest prince is clever!" That's a good idea. Anyway, they are all from the Central Plains, so let them kill each other. ”

I'm ......

Liang Shidu's envoys were stunned, how could you think like that?

"The eldest prince can't, his lips are dead and his teeth are cold! Our Liang State is weak, we can't resist the invasion of the Tang Dynasty at all, we don't have to lose both, if you don't support it, we will abandon the city and surrender...... If the Tang Dynasty successfully takes Shuofang County, Dingxiang County may be surrounded by the Tang army, and you are also in danger! ”

The Turkic general angrily kicked the thing down, "Waste, you dare to curse our eldest prince? Liang Shidu is such a waste, even if you Liang Guo are also worthy of saying that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold? If he dares to abandon the city and surrender, we Turks will not be able to spare him! ”

A punch and kick came up, so that the minister was almost not killed. Fortunately, Ashinadur pulled it.

The envoy cried: "It's not that we are greedy for life and afraid of death, it's really that the strength of the Tang Dynasty is too strong." Our Liang country is weak, even if we defend the city, the food in the city is far from enough. When the Tang Dynasty breaks the city, we will all die. Rather than this, it is better to abandon the city and surrender, maybe there is still a way to live......"

"Phew! The people of Liang Shidu are all soft eggs! Rubbish! The eldest prince and others cursed one after another.

The envoy cried even more miserably, "But Liang has been sheltered by the Turks for many years, and I am grateful for the kindness of the Turks, and my king specially ordered the ministers to inform him: Even if you don't rescue, you can have a guard in the future." ”

Good guy, this product is a talent who can bend and stretch, and it must have been carefully selected by Xue Li.

At this time, Ashinadur spoke, "Prince, what he said is not unreasonable. From another point of view, Liang Guo is indeed helping us defend against the Tang Dynasty, and there is no merit and hard work. Even if we don't send troops, it's still okay to support some food, grass, ordnance, and war horses, but if you want the horses to run, you have to eat grass, right? If they abandon the city and surrender, we will be under great pressure. ”

"What do you think?" The eldest prince was a little shaken.

Seeing this question, his subordinate Wenwu didn't understand, and hurriedly changed his words: "You can give some support." ”

"As long as they can block the Tang Army, our food and grass armaments and war horses are nothing."

"Yes, let them kill each other, the more we kill, the more we give them......"

……

One by one, they did not shy away from the envoy of Liang State, and the envoy hated it in his heart, and kept kneeling and bowing his head, not daring to show it in the slightest.

"Okay, then I'll give you some support as appropriate. By the way, what do you want? The eldest prince asked from above.

The envoy thanked him for his kindness, and "all the needs were written in the national credentials." ”

How could the eldest prince be in the mood to look at this thing? Directly threw his hand to Ashinadur, "Cousin, just Liang Guo, the land of projectiles, there are only tens of thousands of soldiers." How many supplies can I get? Give it to you, and give it to him from your tribe. You are in charge of this matter, and promise to let Liang Shidu resist the Tang army for us, and when you come back, I will reward you with my father Khan. ”

After speaking, he ordered the meeting to be dismissed, and led a group of sycophants out hunting.

Ashinadur gritted his teeth, where can he not understand, the eldest prince deliberately suppressed him, this is a state affair, you let a small tribe pay for food and materials?

Opened the national book and saw the list of materials, Ashina Dur was stunned, this special mother's appetite is big enough, and the war horse will cost 20,000? We support you, can you train as a cavalry to resist the Tang army now? Liang Shidu, you are here to eat big households?

Looking at the flattering envoys, Ashinadur scolded bitterly, and promised to give half of the supplies, to see how effective they were, and if they were strong, they would make up for it later.

The envoy left proudly, and said in his heart that he was really asking for a price to pay back, and he wrote it higher, even if it was only a percent, it would be a lot.

On Liang Guoshuo's side, the envoy who went to the Tang Dynasty was the first to come back, and after listening to the secret report, Xue Li's fist squeaked, "Damn!" If I had known that Jieli was going to my brother, I would have stopped him from sending troops. It's too late now, I'm afraid that Jieli will be killed in Youzhou in a few days......"

"Okay, what a ruthless Jieli. If anything happens to my brother in Youzhou, I will personally go to your lair, catch all your sons and concubines, and let you know what regret is! ”
