The Tang Dynasty was in a hurry to meet with the letter, but it turned out that the Turkic ministers had come to the Daming Palace to negotiate on the Tang Dynasty's borrowing of troops. Forming a good alliance with a large country like the Turks and borrowing hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses can sometimes play a crucial role, and it is no wonder that Zhuan Xin wants to interrupt his good deeds.

The Turkic minister Nulan Jinsha was in his sixties, a civil official, and relied on the lord of the country. The Turkic lord Sanggan received a borrowed army from his sister Princess Jinzhi, and he did not dare to be self-explanatory, and presented it in the palace of the Roland clan.

Although the Roland clan handed over the power at that time, his influence in the Turkic state still did not make a second thought. Although Sang Gan succeeded to the throne, his talents were mediocre and he was beautiful. According to the customs of the Turks, he married his stepmother Roland Yan as the Yan family, and he was pampered in every way, and no other beauty could do it, and he listened to her opinion on everything. This made the status of the Roland clan rise instead of falling.

After reading the letter of state given to her by the Tang Dynasty, she snorted coldly, and her heart was filled with jealousy: Jin Zhi, an unfilial daughter, actually had a personal relationship with the Tang Dynasty, so she eloped and ignored me, the old lady. It's good now, when something big happens, I still have the face to write a letter and borrow soldiers.

The letter of state borrowed from the Turks by the Tang Dynasty was personally sent to the Roland Palace by Prime Minister Nulan Jinxia.

"Prime Minister, this palace wants to hear your opinion first?"

"Yan Niangniang, in the opinion of the old minister, when the Tang Dynasty was peaceful in the four seas, not to mention our Turks, even the powerful countries of Persia and Dashi, were not his opponents, and now he is in internal chaos, it is a good time for my Great Turks to infiltrate their influence. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty has clearly said in the national letter that it will give us rich 'gifts' after the completion of the matter, the Central Plains is rich and prosperous, full of gold and silver, and our northwest is the opposite of the bitter cold, the Tang Dynasty sent the 'gift', it must not be light, just to supplement the emptiness of our country's treasury. ”

Roland looked at the old minister, and nodded secretly in his heart: "This old guy is not as reckless as those military attachés, and he knows the truth in this." ”

"The Prime Minister has a point. However, the matter of sending troops is huge, if the generals sent cannot win the battle, and the soldiers are lost, it will not only damage the majesty of our Great Turks, but also be difficult to get gifts from the Tang Dynasty? ”

"This ...... In the opinion of the ministers, our great Turkic cavalry has been fighting for a long time and is invincible, Marshal Xu Liesheng is even more capable of commanding the troops, and none of the troops in the Central Plains are our opponents, and once the situation is favorable, why can't our Turks extend our territory to the Yellow River Valley. ”

"Prime Minister! The palace has been taught, and it doesn't matter if we get a gift from the Tang Dynasty after we send troops, what matters is to grab land and population, right? ”

"The mother is wise. Lao Chen knew that there were no years to live, and when Lao Shan Yu was in power, I wanted to follow him into the Central Plains, but unfortunately, he returned to heaven early, and I could see the strength of the Great Turks in the lifetime of Lao Chen, which is my only wish. ”

"Yes. The main palace understands the wishes of the prime minister. In the face of such an opportunity, our Great Turks naturally cannot afford to miss the opportunity. Besides, my daughter Princess Jin Zhi has followed the Tang Dynasty, and I, as a mother, can't help but give him a little thin noodles. However, this person in the Tang Dynasty is very powerful, and we must not fall into his trap, just like the last time we lost in Jiuzhangyuan, so this palace feels that the prime minister should personally go to Chang'an and see the Tang Dynasty first. If the Prime Minister thinks he is sincere, it is better to invite him to our Great Turkic Alliance. I wonder if the Prime Minister is willing to go on this trip for the country? ”

Nulan Kinshire was a little displeased, and thought to herself, at my age, why bother? And the Tang Dynasty is now asking for help, why send the prime minister of a country to meet such a kid?

But Roland's words had already been spoken, and he had to give her face: "Thanks to the attention of the Ran's mother, the old minister will not avoid the difficulties and dangers, and go to Chang'an." ”

When Nulan Jinxia was leaving, he also brought a secret letter written by Roland to the Tang Dynasty.

……

The Tang Dynasty received Nuland in the Lin De Hall this summer.

After the two sides met with the guests and hosts, they set up a banquet to entertain them, and then talked about the main topic during the banquet, the details of the borrowed soldiers, the supply of grain and grass, the time of cashing the "gifts", etc., and the two sides were willing to talk happily.

In the end, Nulan Jinxia handed over the secret letter of the Roland clan to the Tang Dynasty.

The moment Tang Chao received the letter, a strange feeling rose in his heart, and he immediately thought of everything about her hotness.

Split letters. Under the sweep of the Tang Dynasty, the content was fully visible: "It is not difficult to borrow troops, you must go to Guyuan as soon as possible." ”

This letter was actually covered with the jade seal of the Turkic emperor.

The Tang Dynasty was surprised, but also immediately thought that this mother-in-law, she could casually move the prime minister of a country, and she was indeed a figure who could not afford to offend the Turkic emperor as a Turkic emperor.

Of course, he immediately understood the mother-in-law's thoughts, but thinking that the princess who had married her as a concubine, if there were any more gossip with her, it would be a great insult to the majesty of the New Tang Emperor.

What am I going to do?

"Your Majesty, the content of the letter, the old minister also knew in advance, since Your Majesty does not have any doubts, I hope to set the date of the alliance as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Tang Chao was shocked again, this mother-in-law seems to be really an iron-fisted person, and there is absolutely no room for turning around what she wants to do. Mommy, my dignified husband in the Tang Dynasty and the lord of a country, is he really afraid of a lang girl?

After thinking about it like this, he suddenly became arrogant: "What the Prime Minister said is extremely true. I will soon find time to go to the Guyuan Alliance, and I will be a family after the New Tang Dynasty and the Turks. ”

"Haha, Your Majesty is really fast-talking. Niangniang has always complained that Princess Jinzhi married the wrong person, but she couldn't imagine that His Majesty would shock the Central Plains today, and after he unified the world, the princess didn't know how much glory and wealth she would enjoy. ”

Tang Chao laughed a few times, and ordered Zhang Jiazheng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, to entertain Nulan Jinxia, and returned to the Qinzheng Palace, and immediately convened Shewa, Li Bai, Zhuan Xin and other confidant generals to discuss the matter.

After He Zhizhang, the squire of the Yellow Gate, quickly stated the passage of the Turkic envoys, Li Bai first applauded: "Your Majesty is wise! As early as a few years ago, he had laid the groundwork for today's borrowing of troops and married the golden branch princess who was beautiful and fragrant. ”

Sheva and Zhuan Xin and others also immediately flattered a few words. Fortunately, the facts are conclusive, and there is no feeling of sycophancy on the faces of several people.

"This matter is urgent, and it is even as important as the matter of recruiting Ge Shuhan. Although there are 500,000 troops in our dynasty now, and they are all elite soldiers, An Lushan has reached 500,000 people just by following him in battle. He is now aggressively expanding his troops, and it is said that the total number of troops in his own line has exceeded one million, and the war is all about strength, and one more ally will give him a better chance of winning. Moreover, with the current situation, if we do not make a plan earlier, An Lushan and Li Longji will definitely strive for an alliance with such a powerful country as the Turks. ”

Sheva smiled: "I understand what Your Majesty means, you are planning to go to Guyuan and the Turkic alliance in person. ”

"My father-in-law is right. I must strike while the iron is hot, reach Guyuan as soon as possible, and make an alliance, and then urge them to hurry up and bring their troops here, and be sure to borrow the available troops before An Lushan captures Tongguan. ”

"Your Majesty, I understand what you mean. But since Ge Shuhan has already surrendered, why don't you order him to surrender now, lest he lose his men? "I believe that the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses has spoken.

"Three are the people I trust the most, friends of life and death. I thought about this when I submitted him, but then I decided to let him hold on for a month. The reason is that the task given by An Lushan to Shi Siming is one month. In less than a month, even if Shi Siming attacked, I am afraid that he would not be able to do his best. Besides, I got a secret report that Shi Siming recently sent his son Shi Chaowei into Tongguan and wanted him to surrender. I ordered him to push the boat down the river when the time came, but I asked him not to say yes too quickly. With Ge Shuhan's current situation, if he surrenders, Shi Siming will not doubt it, and I don't think An Lushan will either. I will take advantage of this time to go to the north, and if we can make friends with a few more countries, with the help of their troops, we should be able to easily resist the pressure from both sides. After all, everyone knows that once Tongguan is captured, a new big war begins. ”

"Your Majesty. I traveled to the north in the prime of life, and I am familiar with the language and customs of many tribes, why don't I accompany you on this trip? ”

"Haha." Tang Chao was overjoyed, "Xiangguo, I've been worried, I'm afraid that you have a lot of government affairs, I'm afraid you won't be able to come out, I just want to bring Rondo." If you are willing to go along, with your talent, you will definitely be able to form a good alliance with the northern countries, and when the time comes, why worry about an An Lushan, okay, it will be decided. ”

"Thank you, Emperor! Your Majesty, please rest assured, Chang'an's government affairs are now shouldered by Di Renjie, Song Jing, and Zhang Jiuling, as well as Du Fu's brother, who is also my lifelong friend, and I will handle it well. As soon as the Turkic envoys arrived, I guessed that the time had come for His Majesty to use me, and arrangements had been made, so Your Majesty could rest assured. ”

The Tang Dynasty exclaimed in his heart, Li Baizhi's talent is really rare in the world, and he knows autumn when he sees a leaf.

"Good. Father-in-law, after I leave Chang'an, you will be the regent, just control the situation in Chang'an. Zhuanxin, as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, hold Chang'an well, Li Heng does not have the courage to offend us, if Sun Xiaozhe comes, hold the pass, don't fight with him, I will make my own decision after I come back. The rest of the time, we continued to recruit and train soldiers. Do you understand? ”

"Understood." The two answered together. But Sheva then asked, "Your Majesty, just now you mentioned Shi Chaoyi's persuasion of Ge Shuhan, who told you this?" ”

Li Bai smiled: "Brother Sheva, it was the information that Bai had married at that time and was noble and solemn to us. ”

Sheva suddenly sighed in his heart, the Tang Dynasty had a genius like Li Bai, of course, he was handy in everything, and he was deeply gratified.
