Chapter 23 Kou Wenga purpose
Shiluo, a small Turkic tribe. According to the information Su Lie received, this tribe was stationed in the remaining mountains of the Tianshan Mountains in the north of Gaochang. The tribe had more than ten thousand people and seven thousand armored men. They were prosperous in the world by hunting people with bows.
"This Qu Wenhe, united with Shi Luo, is he preparing to rebel?" Su Lie thought about this, and suddenly felt happy in his heart.
He knew that the Western Turks were fighting among themselves, and it was impossible to spare time to deal with the small country of Gaochang at this time. So, if the Shiluo tribe and Qu Wenhe were connected, it was probably the Shiluo tribe who was making their own decisions.
"It seems that I need to go and meet Duzhu for a while."
As soon as he thought about it, Su Lie ordered his five hundred elite cavalry, marched away, and headed towards Shi Luo's station.
The grassland tribes were not stationed in fixed places. It was convenient to station wherever there was abundant water and grass. The place where the Luo tribe was stationed this time was called Hulu Mountain by the locals. Because the mountain peaks resembled gourds, it was called Hulu Mountain.
However, in Su Lie's opinion, it would be inappropriate to call it Calabash Mountain, and it should be called Jian Mountain. The peak is steep and reaches into the sky, but it is not called Calabash Mountain but it is called Calabash Mountain. This shows the shallowness of people in the Western Regions.
Under the Calabash Mountain, there are three shallow plains with luxuriant water and grass. Cattle, sheep and horses are drawing water and eating grass by the river. At first glance, it looks quite peaceful.
When Su Lie arrived, Shi Luo soldiers and horses noticed him and immediately mounted their horses to stop him.
"Who are you?" Luo Bingjun, who was leading the group, shouted and asked.
"General Tang, Su Lie."
"Tang General?" Shi Luo Bingma was surprised, and immediately said: "You wait a moment, I will report to the clan leader."
After saying this, he rode back.
Not long after, the Shiluo clan chief came over.
He was quite surprised to learn that the visitor was from the Tang Dynasty, but it was not too surprising. After all, Yin Wu was destroyed, so it was not surprising that the Tang army appeared here.
"May I ask General Su why you are here?" Diezhi had a rough face and spoke in a low voice.
Su Lie laughed loudly and said: "I heard that the soldiers of Shiluo were both capable of riding and shooting. Now my subordinates are quite dissatisfied when they heard about it. They want to teach me how to compete with each other. Can the Overlapping clan chiefs be willing to compete?"
Hearing this, Duozhi frowned.
He looked at the plate-armored Tang army behind Su Lie, and his heart beat. He had heard about such elites. After all, they were the ones who destroyed the Eastern Turks in the past.
"I have heard that Tang Qi Wushuang is unparalleled, and my descendants also want to take a look!"
Even if he knows that the other party is an elite, even if he understands that it may not be that simple for him to come here, since the other party is provocative, he cannot give in.
"Refreshing!" Su Lie laughed.
Woo woo woo woo!
The horn sounded, and Tang Qi and Shi Luo Qi formed a formation. Both sides were ready to attack, and their momentum had reached its peak.
Outside the field, Su Lie and Diezhi were riding horses side by side.
"This time, if I win, the overlapping clan leader only needs to answer one question from me."
"Then what if you lose?" Duozhi asked unconvinced.
Su Lie never thought that he would lose, but since Overlap asked, he would naturally give him a satisfactory answer.
"If you win, on the last three days of every month, Ben will open a mutual market in Yinzhou and only trade goods with you."
Duizhi's eyes lit up, "Okay, it's a deal!"
Products from the Tang Dynasty were extremely expensive in the Western Regions. If he could get this opportunity, he might be able to make a fortune.
“It’s a deal!”
Following the order, the cavalry from both sides clashed.
This is just for comparison, not for killing. Both sides only use wooden sticks as weapons. As long as one side is beaten until it has no strength to fight anymore, it will be the winner.
The Tang cavalry were all brave and good at fighting, but in just a moment, they beat the Shiluo cavalry to death. Their fighting power was so strong that the overlapping troops were frightened.
"It seems that I won." Su Lie said.
Duizhi's expression was not good-looking. Although this was not a life-and-death battle, he was beaten violently by Tang Qi at the door of his home, and his face still couldn't stand it.
"What do you want to know?" Duzhi asked.
Su Lie said: "A few days ago, Qu Wenhe behaved strangely, trying to do harm to our country, the Tang Dynasty. I found out that you and Qu Wenhe have been in contact. Do you know about this?"
Duozhi's heart skipped a beat and he quickly waved his hands and said, "It's not what you think. Qu Wenhe and I are not targeting your country."
"Then who are you targeting?" Su Lie asked smoothly.
"Of course..." Duizhi shut up and glanced at Su Lie resentfully, "This is the second question."
"Hahaha." Su Lie smiled. He had already got the answer. This Qu Wenhe was indeed planning to rebel.
"That's all." Su Lie waved his hand, "I don't care what deal you have with Qu Wenhe, but I want you to remember that if you dare to have an idea against me, you have to prepare a coffin."
The corner of Duizhi's mouth twitched. He was not an idiot and dared to offend the Tang Dynasty.
"Don't worry, General Su, it will never be like this."
"That's good, farewell."
As quickly as it comes, it goes as quickly as it comes.
Duozhi watched Tang Qi go away, exhaled slightly, and suddenly felt a little entangled in his heart, whether he should help Qu Wenhe or not.
Judging from the current situation, the Tang people are likely to know Qu Wenhe's plan. If they intervene, it will be difficult for Qu Wenhe to succeed.
After thinking about it again and again, he decided to take advantage of Qu Wenhe first.
Gaochang, Wangcheng.
"Your Majesty, don't let the Tang army stay in the country for a long time, otherwise the people's minds will be unstable and it will be difficult to stabilize their hearts." Qu Wenhe advised.
Zhang Xiong closed his eyes and did not say a word.
In his opinion, the Tang army had already entered the city, and any attempt to expel it was nothing more than a dream. Yin Wu would destroy it at his word, so how could Gaochang be a rival to the Tang army.
Qu Wentai said: "It doesn't have to be like this. I have spoken with the emperor of the Tang Dynasty beforehand. The Tang army will not increase its troops in the future. It is only to protect our country."
"Our country has its own generals and strong troops, so why does it need the protection of the Tang people?" Qu Wen congratulated: "Yin Wu came to invade from time to time, and our country needed the protection of the Tang people. I do not deny it. But now, the Tang army has destroyed Yin Wu's country, and there is no threat to our country anymore.
They need the protection of the Tang army. Keeping them in the country will cost a lot of food and fodder. Furthermore, the ambition of the Tang emperor is well known to the world. If the Tang army is left behind, the Tang emperor will want to take our land in the future. Why will the king resist?
"
Hearing this, Qu Wentai hesitated slightly. This was correct. Emperor Tang was going around destroying other countries. If one day he was targeted, Su Lie's existence would undoubtedly be very dangerous.
"What do you think?" Qu Wentai asked.
Qu Wen congratulated: "It's okay to send Su Lie as a gift to leave our country."
"But in this case, how can I explain to Emperor Tang?" Qu Wentai said helplessly: "In the past, I asked the Tang army to come, but now that Yinwu's country is destroyed, I have to expel the Tang army, and I can't explain it to Emperor Tang.
ah."
To be honest, he didn't dare to offend the young Emperor Tang.
Qu Wen congratulated: "Your Majesty, you can send envoys to Chang'an to present Qing himself, along with gold, silver and jade articles."
"Is this okay?" Qu Wentai expressed doubts. He did not think that Emperor Tang lacked the things he paid tribute to.
Qu Wenhe was speechless, this won't work and that won't work either, what do you want!
"Your Majesty..."
"Okay, stop talking." Qu Wentai waved his hand, "Let's discuss this matter in the long run."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Seeing this, Qu Wen let out a long sigh, his eyes flashing scarlet.
You can't persuade me anymore, right?
The inheritance of my ancestors may be taken away by others, so I must protect it!
Seeing the unwillingness on Qu Wenhe's face, Zhang Xiong felt bad. Although he didn't know why Qu Wenhe had to drive away the Tang army, one thing he knew very well was that he could not offend the Tang Dynasty and must obey the Tang Dynasty.
So, he walked to Qu Wenhe and persuaded him: "The days are long, and one day we will be able to ask the Tang army to leave. There is no need to rush."
"What do you mean you don't have to rush for a while?" Qu Wen congratulated and said: "The Tang Emperor was greedy and could not allow the danger of the Tang Army to remain in the country. It's not that I think too much, but it is the fact. The general is the king's confidant, so he should give him more advice.
."
After saying this, Qu Wenhe turned around and left.
