The feast lasted until late, and the prairie warriors in the felt tent were all pot-bellied men, and they ate three of them just by roasting whole sheep.
At this time, there were still two whole sheep roasted and shiny on the stove pit in front of the tent, and everyone in the tent had eaten to their heart's content, and began to shout five and six to fight the wine, and there were wine jars around them.
The grassland people are good at wine, don't look at them being forced by the Tubo people to leave their hometown, and they fled here to have a place to stay, and this wine has not fallen.
Seeing that the people in the tent could no longer eat, Uzile ordered the whole sheep that had been roasted to be given to the guards in front of the tent, which caused the guards to cheer again.
You must know that in this era, roasted whole sheep is a very high-standard famous dish at aristocratic banquets, and ordinary shepherds or ordinary small clan leaders are also mainly meat-based, but they are not qualified to enjoy roasted whole sheep.
This move made Yang Fan look at Wu Zhile again, since he arrived in Luoyang, the dignitaries have seen a lot, there are really not many powerful people who are so considerate and caring for their subordinates, Wu Zhile is also drunk at this time, his face is red, and his tongue is hard, at this time this move should be sincere, and it is definitely not intended to invite people's hearts.
Shen Mu didn't drink much, although everyone toasted him first, but for this distinguished guest, he only took a sip and others would not be picky, he didn't drink much, but he ate a lot of things like milk skin, milk tofu, blood sausage, barbecue, etc., so his eyes were still very clear at the moment.
Shen Mu drank for a while, got up and went out for convenience, and Yang Fan took the opportunity to follow.
The two Turkic girls helped Shen Mu out of the crowd, fell into a secluded corner, and made a gesture to him with a smile, meaning that it would be convenient here, and one of the girls squatted down and wanted to untie his pants for him, and Yang Fan appeared in front of him at this time.
When Shen Mu saw it, he waved his hand, waited for the two Turkic girls to walk away, and smiled at Yang Fan: "Erlang seems to have something on his mind."
Yang Fan said: "There is something I don't know, but my wisdom is shallow, and I can't figure it out, if I don't ask for advice in person, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep." ” Shen Mu said with a smile: "When did Erlang become so literate, our own brothers, just say something." ” He didn't avoid Yang Fan, he untied his clothes widely, and after finishing it easily, he reorganized it and stopped, and a Turkic girl standing in the distance immediately stepped forward, took out a sweat towel from her waist, and presented it respectfully.
Shen Mu cleaned his hand and made an inviting gesture to Yang Fan, and the two of them walked among the top felt tents, while the two Turkic girls followed suit.
Yang Fan said: "The person who Brother Shen said can be a khan is Wuzhile."
Shen Mu said: "Yes, you see how this person is" Yang Fan said: "It's really a hero, it's just that Brother Shen plans to support him for a khan."
Shen Mu said with a smile: "Erlang is knowingly asking, naturally he is the king of the ten tribes of the Western Turks."
Yang Fan stopped, turned to Shen Mu, and asked in a condensed voice: "The Western Turks already have a master, and they are loyal to our dynasty, why did Brother Shen want to set up another khan?"
Shen Mu said: "Hu Seluo is naturally loyal, but this Wu Se Le is also loyal, and he is also loyal, and Wu Zhi Le is more worthy of being the master of one side than Hu Se Luo." ” Yang Fan said suspiciously: "What does Brother Shen mean by this?"
Shen Mu said: "Hu Seluo is good at personal martial arts, but not good at commanding the tribes, and often fights with weak enemies and strong opponents, so that the Western Turkic tribes have repeatedly lost the upper hand in the confrontation with the Eastern Turks, losing land and losing people, resulting in the end of today's tribes leaving their hometowns and wandering everywhere, and the power is no longer enough to convince the public, this is one of them."
Hu Sero was autocratic, not good at defending the ministries, cruel temperament, often whipped the soldiers after drinking, and the slightest mistake in the other ministries was severely punished, so that the subordinates were afraid and deviated from morality, and the second was that.
As a khan, it is enough to have these two items, especially when there are strong enemies outside the Western Turks and they are in a difficult situation. ” Yang Fan hesitated: "When I was in Luoyang, I also had a relationship with General Hu Sero, and his personality seems to be very different from what Brother Shen said."
Shen Mu said suddenly: "I said why you have so many doubts about supporting Wu Zhile as a khan, the original reason is here."
Shen Mu smiled bitterly and said: "Erlang, you once bowed together, and he regarded you as a friend, not a subordinate, so his attitude is naturally different."
But this doesn't mean that his majesty is also so polite.
In fact, if I support Uzhile, the benefits that I can get from him can be obtained if I change to Husero, and if Husero is a person who can afford to support, wouldn't it be easier for me to support him than to support Uzil If you don't believe what I say, you can ask anyone from the tribes of the ten tribes how the tribes support Uzile, you can see it in your eyes, if Hu Sero is a wise lord, will his subordinates be so detached."
Yang Fan came all the way, not only saw Wu Zhile's ability to train soldiers with soldiers, but also saw the sincere support of his subordinates, the subordination of other leaders to him, and also saw his attitude towards his subordinates.
In the Central Plains, it is rare for Shangguan to be able to care for his subordinates in this way, and the relationship between the nobles and the subordinates in the tribe is almost like that between the master and the slave, and the difference between respect and inferiority is huge, and it is even more difficult for the Western Turks to live in this area under the joint suppression of the Eastern Turks and the Tibetans, and the living space is getting smaller and smaller, and it is easier to cause turmoil when the owner changes hands in this difficult situation, so that a tribe that is already on the verge of extinction falls into a more dangerous situation.
And in this case, if Shen Mu can give them help, what he can get from Wu Zhile can also be obtained from Hu Seluo, he can give up the easy and support Wu Zhile, I'm afraid only these reasons make sense.
Thinking of this, Yang Fan couldn't help but be a little shaken, he didn't think that Hu Seluo was a wicked person, but a good person was not necessarily a person worthy of being a leader.
Yang Fan hesitated in his heart, especially holding a trace of illusion, and said: "Hu Seluo was originally the head of the ten surnamed tribes, and Wu Zhile rashly replaced him, is this feasible?"
Shen Mu saw that he would be persuaded by himself, and laughed easily: "Princes and generals, Ning has a kind of Erlang, how can he believe in the decadent theory that he can't be a king if he is not a royal family, and the current empress is not a descendant of the Li Tang clan, is she not the emperor now, if Hu Seluo, his position as a khan, if it is not recognized by my Tang Dynasty, it may not be legitimate."
Not to mention that there is also an Ashina Gulu in the Eastern Turks, even in the Western Turks, Hu Sero Yuan is not the heir to the Khan.
The lord of the Western Turks was originally Ashina Micha, and Ashinabu, the father of Hu Sero, was really the brother of Micha Khan, and he wanted to establish himself as a khan, so he murdered more than 20 of Misa's younger brothers and nephews and usurped power to stand on his own.
Ashina Mi Shot rate of the month and the secret tribe to take refuge in my Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong canonized him as Xi Li Lu Khan, Ashina Buzhen self-reliant, but his tribe was dissatisfied, Buzhen was helpless, so he had to also take refuge in my Tang Dynasty, and was awarded the title of General Zuotunwei.
Later, Ashina Buzhen falsely accused Ashina of rebellion, and Michai was killed, and Buzhen brought the ten surnamed tribes into his command. ” When Shen Mu said this, he smiled and said: "This matter is just an old thing more than 20 years ago, the ten tribes of the Western Turks are well known, and now Hu Sero inherits the throne, and he can't win the hearts of all the people, so why is it difficult to replace it with Wu Zhile."
Yang Fan said: "Although I have only seen the ability of Wu Zhile, I have to admit that he does have the demeanor of a hero, but because of this, he is quite talented, if you support him, will you raise tigers?"
Shen Mu smiled and said: "Erlang, you are doing everything for my court, this thought is admirable, but this idea is very wrong."
He took a few steps forward slowly, stretched out his hand, and pointed to the countless twinkling stars under the vast starry sky, and said: "A family, when there are no outstanding children in the long house, if you still want to be jealous of the virtuous and envy, and exclude and suppress the children of the branch sect, this family will never exist for thousands of years.
If an important minister cannot be meritocracious when recommending meritocracy, and is always worried that others will become a better official than himself one day, he will sooner or later become a traitor who treacherously wields power, and he will not be able to go down in fame through the ages.
If an emperor is always worried about the high merits of his courtiers, and even does not wait for the eradication of external troubles, he can't wait to get rid of those talented and capable civil and military ministers, and he will sooner or later become the king of the country Erlang, now just Tubo's military strength is not under my Tang Dynasty, not to mention that there is an Eastern Turk, at this time, you have to be on guard against your own people, what will be the result Is it impossible for Wuzhile to destroy Tubo and the Eastern Turks, but he can grow stronger, where does his power come from, even if people are all born on their own, but the territory is only so big, and it is beneficial and harmless for us to divide the three families.
It is true that Uzile is very capable, but in such a sinister environment, we can give them limited help, and it is precisely if he has the ability, whether it is our family or the court, that we can support him, otherwise what use should we ask him At the same time as supporting, of course, it is necessary to control, which has nothing to do with whether Uzil is a Turkic or not.
If the Tang Dynasty is so weak that he can't even control the power he has supported himself, or if he is faint for the sake of the monarch, then the ambitious person, whether he is of the same clan or not, or even whether he is a blood relative, will take his place, and there is no need to look far away to find examples, this dynasty is not a living example."
Yang Fan was silent for a long time and asked, "Why did you bring me to meet him, and why did you let me know about this?"
Shen Mu said: "Because, if he wants to be called Khan, he needs the support of the imperial court and a righteous name."
In fact, whether you admit it or not, the power of the ten surnamed tribes is already in the hands of Uzhile, but Hu Seluo is still unaware, and Uzhile has not torn his face with him.
If I don't agree, do you think that Uzil will give up the power in his hands, and Hu Thero will still face a situation of rebellion and separation, if that situation occurs, what do you think will be the result of internal friction among the Western Turks under the watchful eye of the two tigers, and then an important force used by our court to contain the Eastern Turks will be completely lost.

Erlang, in this case, you said that for Hu Seluo, it is better to stay in the court to be a great general and a rich man, or let him come back, so that the ten surnamed tribes will all bury these interests in the cannibalism, if you report to the empress, I believe that the empress weighs the pros and cons, and will not be reluctant to give up the title of a khan Huthero's own stay in the court was beneficial to him.
As far as the imperial court is concerned, it can be regarded as an additional bargaining chip for the control of the ten tribes of the Western Turks.
You can carry him out if necessary, if Uzile really has the opposite intentions."
"I, Uzile, swear to the heavens that if I were a khan, I would never be defeated" With the voice, Uzile suddenly walked step by step from the night, he was still drunk, and his feet were a little floating, but his face was full of excitement, sincerity and solemnity, and in the distance, two Turkic girls bent down deeply towards him.
Yang Fan didn't wonder when he came running, just asked him, "How can I trust your assurance?"
Uzile sneered: "You can only trust my guarantee If, you are worried, when I am strong, I will have a rebellious heart, can you guarantee that when Hu Thro is strong, he will be loyal to you" Of course, Yang Fan couldn't guarantee it, he was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "You can guarantee that you will always be loyal to Datang" Uzile touched his chest with his hand and bent down gently: "I can only guarantee myself, my friend This is my most sincere vow, if I say, what can I guarantee for my children and grandchildren, it is the biggest deception to you Everyone has their own way, whether it is you or me, who can guarantee what their sons, grandchildren, great-grandchildren will do" Yang Fan sighed softly, looked at Shen Mu, and then at Wu Zhile, and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Shen Mu showed a happy smile, Yang Fan's words meant that he would really become a fellow practitioner.
Shen Mu said happily: "First of all, it is necessary to ask the imperial court to allow Hu Seluo to stay in Luojing for a long time, if Hu Seluo himself does not have this request, he must also let the imperial court find a way to keep him in Luojing, only in this way can the internal division and fratricidal killing of the ten tribes of the Western Turks be avoided."
Second, it is necessary for the imperial court to accept the old and weak women and children of the ten Turkic tribes, about tens of thousands of people, and move them to Longyou or Guanzhong, so that there can be no worries here, and the burden of tens of thousands of people can be reduced, and the elite will be concentrated and strive to return to the four towns of Anxi.
It has always been the place where the ten tribes of the Western Turks are stationed and grazed. ” Yang Fan said in his heart: "I'm afraid that at least six of the ten surnamed tribes have already sided with Wu Zhile, and they have Shen Mu's secret support, in this case, staying in Luojing is only afraid that it will be the best result for Hu Seluo."
As for the migration of tens of thousands of old and young people to Longyou Guanzhong, it is not a big problem, they can engage in farming and animal husbandry, and in disguise they are equivalent to hostages of the ten surnamed tribes, Shen Mu probably calculated it this way. ” Shen Mu said again: "These two things, I will provide you with sufficient and powerful evidence, you are a scout sent by the empress, you only need to present it to the empress, and try to persuade her to accept it as much as possible."
Of course, I'll use other people to help you. ” "Next, it's up to me to do it."
Internally, I need to recuperate, the tribe of the ten surnames has suffered a lot of trauma, you don't look at us now as if we have no worries about food and clothing, in fact, because we were forced to move away from our homeland, a large number of cattle, sheep and livestock were taken away by the enemy on the way to escape, and the existing livestock is no longer enough to maintain the survival of the tribe.
I need to survive this winter in order to slowly recover, and during this period, I need to recover my vitality while training my soldiers and horses diligently, combining the elite soldiers and horses of the ten tribes to build a force that can compete with the Tubo and Gululu.
And the outside" Wu Zhile set his eyes on Shen Mu.
Shen Mu said: "Externally, Wuzhile has sent a secret envoy to the Tubo royal city to ask for their prime minister Qinling, and tell Qinling the meaning of Wuzhile's intention to replace Hu Seluo. ” Yang Fan's eyes flashed, and he said, "Feint" Shen Mu raised his thumb approvingly, and said, "Yes, pretend to take refuge in Qinling as a condition, strive for his support, and help yourself become the head of the ten surnamed tribes."
Of course, Qin Ling would not easily believe in the sincerity of Wu Zhile, but he could take the elite soldiers of the ten tribes without a fight, and he could not refuse this temptation.
The place where Wuzhile is stationed is called Dadou Tu Gu, which is a shortcut to Huangzhong, and it is also a key pass for Tubo to enter the west of the river in the north, so it is extremely unsafe here.
But now there is no time for Uzile to choose another place with abundant water and grass to live, so he can only delay this winter. ” Yang Fan bowed his head and said: "Well, even if Qin Ling is half-convinced, as long as he wants to annex this force, he will not act rashly, so it will be enough to give us a chance to breathe."
The Tubo language calls the prime minister a treatise, so the Qinling is often called the Qinling, and Yang Fan also used their title at this time in order to save trouble.
Shen Mu said: "Not only that, but I will also find a way to let their Zampu know about it."
Yang Fan frowned and said: "Tubo Zampu and Non Qinling are already at odds."
Uzile interjected and laughed: "What's more, they are so intrigued. ” Yang Fan thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid this plan is useless. ” Shen Mu smiled and said, "Why is it useless?"
Yang Fan said: "Receiving this kind of thing about the sudden fall of the ten surnames, the movement is too big, and it can't be hidden from people at all, even if it is about how Qinling wants to bring such a huge force under his rule, he can only secretly discuss with this side and secretly do something, about the matter of appeasement, he will not be stupid enough not to tell Zampu."
Shen Mu smiled slyly and said slowly: "After all, Qinling is the prime minister of the first dynasty, and he is the prime minister who is in power and makes Zampu look at him impatiently, will he hear the slightest rumor and run impatiently to Zampu to show his merits."
It will take time for him to confirm the sincerity of Uzil.
He has to come up with a way to take the power of the Ten Clans into his own hands first, it will take more time, before that, he will not rashly report to Zampu, and what I want is this time" Yang Fan suddenly said: "I understand that as long as Tubo Zampu hears this news from other people before Lun Qinling, even if Lun Qinling rushes to confess this matter to Zanpu again, Zanpu will not believe him, and will even be more vigilant, because he will think that he has the eyes and ears of Lun Qinling by his side."
Shen Mu cocked his finger at him again, laughed, and Wu Zhile also let out a hey laugh on the side.
Yang Fan looked at these two people, only to feel that these two people were both literate and martial, one was as fierce as a wolf, the other was as cunning as a fox, and he himself probably had some of the wildness of a wolf and the alertness of a fox, but these two aspects were still too immature compared to these two people, and he still had a long way to go to grow up To be continued:
