Zhao Yunze and Ashdewumo sipped into the main hall, and the two sides sat down separately.At this time, Mingyue and Caixia were already frying tea on the side."
Old Ah, it's okay after returning to the grassland," Zhao Yunze asked Ashide Wumo sip."
Okay, it's so good that after a certain time in the grassland, my tribe was incorporated into the wolf tent headquarters by Jieli Khan, and I was also appointed by Jieli as the commander of the attached thousand."
Asdewumer said coldly.Zhao Yunze understood as soon as he heard it, Ashide Wumo was obviously talking the opposite.He was originally the leader of a tribe, and no matter how big or small his tribe was, he was also a prince.But what he meant was that his tribe had been annexed by Jieli; He himself became a subordinate officer."
Alas, old man, I advised you to take refuge in Datang, but you didn't listen.It's time to regret it now," Zhao Yunze asked with a sigh.Ashide Wumo sipped and smiled: "It's not that I don't listen to General Zhao's advice, but my wife and small family are staying in the grassland, if I take refuge in the Tang Dynasty at that time, they will definitely be harmed by Jieli" Zhao Yunze nodded in understanding, and asked Ashide Wumo sob: "When Fang was at the door, you said that you came to Chang'an with the loss of thinking power and offered cattle and horses to my Datang Dynasty, what is going on" Ashide Wumo sobbed: "It may be that Jieli wants to please the Tang Dynasty, this time he ordered Zhizhi to take 3,000 horses and 10,000 sheep, and came to Chang'an to offer to the Tang Emperor."
A certain was named by Jieli, and came to Chang'an with him as a guard who lost his thinking power, and just arrived yesterday evening. ”"Jieli wants to curry favor with Datang, when did he become so low-profile," Zhao Yunze wondered.Immediately, he smiled at Ashdewumer, and said, "Old man, your words are not true.Okay, let's talk about friendship today, but you are secretive when you speak, where is our friendship?"
Well, I'll be honest. ”After a pause, he added: "This year, for some reason, the winter of the grassland came much earlier than in previous years.Half a month ago, heavy snow suddenly fell in the northern part of the grassland, but the herdsmen had not yet prepared hay for the winter, and many cattle, sheep and livestock had frozen to death.Jieli was frightened by the punishment of heaven by the Weishui River in Chang'an last month, and he thought that this sudden heavy snowfall was still God's punishment for his rash invasion of the Tang Dynasty.So, he remembered to sacrifice livestock to the Tang Dynasty.First, to atone for sins in heaven; Second, it can also reduce the consumption of pasture in the winter grassland; Come on, let's see if we can use these livestock to exchange some gifts to Datang. ”Zhao Yunze immediately laughed when he heard Asdewumo's words.The shot that buddy put on the side of the Weishui River seems to have a far more than simple effect of scaring off Jieli, and there is actually a follow-up effect."
Jieli is really a good calculation," Zhao Yunze sneered, "I'm afraid, he wants to exchange some gifts for my Datang, that's the main purpose." ”The Central Plains Dynasty had a good face, and in its dealings with its neighbors, people often offered a little something, and the return gift given by the Central Plains Dynasty was better than several times the value of the offering.I think Jieli took a fancy to this, so he would act with such a low profile.Ashide Wumer sipped and said, "According to the information I have gotten, Jieli and Zhili do want to exchange some food from Datang. ”"Hehe, you Turks are really shrewd.When I thought I was strong, I came to Datang to burn and loot; Now that the grassland has been affected, he has put down his face and made a deal with my Datang.It's you who make the cheapest both horizontally and vertically," Zhao Yunze said sarcastically.Ashide Wumo waved his hand and said, "General Zhao's words say that it doesn't hurt to lose your thinking power, but don't count me in."
I'm not with them. ”"Is there a difference?"
Zhao Yunze said disdainfully."
Of course," said Ashdewumer, "and now, my tribe and I have also fallen victim to the Turkic war against the Tang Dynasty. ”At this time, Mingyue and Caixia had already cooked a pot of tea, and the two of them poured tea for Zhao Yunze and Ashdewumo.Asdewumer slurped and looked at Mingyue and Caixia with strange eyes.Zhao Yunze heard Ashide Wumo seem to have more important things to say, and when he saw his strange eyes, he understood what he meant."
Bright Moon Caixia, you two don't have to wait here.Lao Ah and I are old friends, so we just pour ourselves a drink. ”Zhao Yunze said to Mingyue Caixia.Mingyue Caixia understood, so she gave a salute to Zhao Yunze and Ashdewumo, and then withdrew from the main hall."
Old man, it's just you and me at this time.If you have anything to say, you should say it" Zhao Yunze said to Ashdewumo, "You came to find me, and it is not as simple as drinking tea and chatting. ”Ashdewumo hesitated for a moment, and then said: "It's not a secret, the hatred for Jieli now is no less than that of you Tang people.I came here to tell General Zhao that if one day in the future, Datang will use troops against the grassland, and he is willing to stand on the side of Datang. ”In Asdewumer's previous words, his dissatisfaction with Jieli had already been revealed.What he said at this time, Zhao Yunze was not much surprised."
Old man, I believe what you say.However, how do you conclude that my Datang will use troops on the grassland?"
His Majesty Li Shimin, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, is a heroic and strategic hero.To put it mildly, most of your Datang territory was brought down by Li Shimin.Your current emperor is only the founder of the Tang Dynasty because he was stained with his son's light. ”Ashide Wumo sobbed and said, "A few days ago, Li Shimin had just ascended the throne, and Jieli hit the city of Chang'an, if your emperor could swallow this breath, it would be strange."
Therefore, it was concluded that in a few years, Datang would definitely use troops against the grassland.Moreover, Datang will definitely win" "Where does your confidence in Datang come from" Zhao Yunze asked again.Asdewumo slurped and said, "Jieli is also a hero on the grassland.However, that was only the first few years of his reign as Great Khan.Now Jieli has been the Great Khan for six years, and the tribes of the steppe have long been accustomed to listening to his orders.At the time of the six-year Great Khan, Jieli had begun to indulge in enjoying glory and wealth, and his ambition had long since faded."
Take the invasion of Weishui last month as an example, if it had been left behind, Jieli would have been desperate to break Chang'an City, and it would be possible to destroy your Datang.But in fact, he originally came to Datang to see if there was anything cheap to make money, and in the end, the battle ended hastily.Because of this incident, Jieli also became a laughing stock among those tribes who were dissatisfied with him. ”Ashide Wumo took a sip of tea from the teacup, and said: "But on the other hand, you Tang Dynasty, His Majesty Li Shimin's first ascension to the throne is the time to forge ahead.It is also assisted by countless ministers and good generals like General Zhao.For example, your Datang is the rising sun, but the grassland has passed the middle of the sky and gone downhill.In addition, the officials and people of the Tang Dynasty have hatred for our Turks, and if the Tang Dynasty uses troops against the Turks, how can it be invincible":
