Chapter 141 Mohe Dushe
With Zhang Changxun's introduction, everything became much more convenient. The Turkic official responsible for receiving them led everyone to a camp, which was where they settled. The Turks' houses were not brick and wood structures, but yurts and tents.
There are only yurts in this camp.
They walked into a yurt, and Zhang Changxun said: "Your Highness, it's getting late today. Early tomorrow morning, I will take you to see Mohe Dushe."
"All right."
The next day, Li Zhiyun and Yu Wenxin followed Zhang Changxun on horseback to Mohe Dushe's tent. After the three people dismounted, they walked into a huge domed yurt under the leadership of a Turkic official.
After Li Zhiyun entered, he took a closer look and saw six or seven Turks sitting in a row across from them. They were all wearing fur clothes. They all had disheveled hair and unshaven beards and looked very dirty. Sitting on the throne in the middle was a short man.
The fat guy had dark skin, a fat head and big ears, a pair of small bird-like eyes, and a slightly protruding chin. He had the characteristics of a wolf. Li Zhiyun guessed that he was probably Mohe Dushe.
Mohe Duo, also known as Mohe, Mofu, Mohefu, etc., is a title used by ethnic minorities such as the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, Rouran, Khitan, and Turks in the north. It means a brave and strong person, and later became a tribal leader.
title.
"Ze" means arrangement, arrangement, and establishment. According to the Turkic Biography in the "Old Book of Tang Dynasty", "the leaders of other tribes all call it "Ze". But in the middle and late Eastern Turkic period, "Ze" became the system of small khans.
of alienation.
In the early days of the Turks, the system of big khan and minor khan was implemented, with one big khan and one or several minor khans. However, in the middle and late period of the Eastern Turks, "the king was the only one who was called Khan, and the rest were called Shi". Therefore,
"She's status is equivalent to that of a junior khan", and those who hold the position of "she" are usually royal relatives and nobles. For example, Mohe Dushe is the son of Qimin Khan, and his name is Du Bi.
Since Mohedushe is equivalent to the "little khan", he has the power to build a tooth. The so-called "building a tooth" generally refers to the erection of military flags in front of the division, or it can also refer to the establishment of royal courts by ethnic minorities, and the tooth tent is the seat of the minority government.
The capital or capital.
Zhang Changxun took the lead and walked to the throne, cupped his hands and said: "Dear Mohe Dushe, I have brought the King of Chu of the Tang Dynasty and his deputy to see you. They were sent by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty as envoys to your ministry." After that,
He turned to Li Zhiyun and Yu Wenxin and made a "please" gesture.
Li Zhiyun and Yu Wenxin walked to the throne and saluted with clasped fists. Mohe Dushe did not stand up to return the salute, but waved his hands and said: "You two noble envoys, you don't need to be polite, please sit down." Several servants brought three tuna over.
, Li Zhiyun and others
The man sat down. Mohe Dushe looked at Li Zhiyun and said: "Your envoy, our Turks are friendly neighbors to your Tang country. When your father attacked Chang'an, our Turks helped a lot. I don't know if your envoy is here in the grassland this time."
What's the business?"
Li Zhiyun cupped his hands and said: "I am sent as an envoy to your ministry on the order of my father. Firstly, I represent my father to express my respect to Mohe Dushe. Secondly, we heard that Xue Ju sent an envoy to your ministry to ask you to send troops.
I wonder if it is possible to assist him in attacking Chang'an?"
Mo He Dushe nodded and said: "It is true. Xue Ju's envoys have not left yet and are staying in the tent I provided to them."
"Mohe Dushe, you just said that the Tang Dynasty and the Turks are friendly neighbors. In order not to destroy this friendship, please refuse Xue Ju's request and don't help the evildoers!" Li Zhiyun said loudly.
Although Mo Hedushe didn't understand what "helping the emperor do evil" meant, he still understood Li Zhiyun's words. His small eyes flashed with a cunning light and said: "To be honest, Xue Ju has given me a lot of benefits.
So, I have promised him. If you don’t let me send troops to help him, you have to have some explanation, right?"
Li Zhiyun cursed in his heart: This greedy guy! However, he still had a smile on his face and said: "Mohe Dushe, in order to express my respect for you, my father specially asked me to bring some gifts to you.
You." After saying this, he clapped his hands. After a moment, Zhang Zheng walked in from outside the yurt.
"Bring the gifts in." Li Zhiyun ordered.
Zhang Zhengyi responded, turned around and went out. After a while, a dozen guards came in carrying four or five boxes. They placed the boxes in the open space in the middle. One of the guards opened the lid of the box and revealed the gold, silver and jewelry in the box.
It shines with dazzling light, which is dazzling.
Mohe Dushe's eyes were bright and he quickly stepped down from the throne. Several other Turkic officials also stood up and gathered around. The Turks marveled at the jewelry in the box, their eyes shining with greed. Zhang Changxun struck while the iron was hot and said:
"Mohe Dushe, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty sent you such a heavy gift, which shows his sincerity. For the sake of friendship between the two parties, will you refuse Xue Ju's request to send troops?" Mohe Dushe nodded with a smile: "
Okay, okay, I’ll listen to you.”
After leaving the yurt, Zhang Changxun excitedly said to Li Zhiyun: "Mohe Dushe has agreed, and His Highness's mission is completed. I will keep an eye here to ensure that he will not regret it, and Your Highness can return to Chang'an with peace of mind." Li Zhiyun.
He was also very happy, nodded and said: "Then there is Mr. Lao Zhang."
The next morning, Li Zhiyun ordered his entourage to pack their bags and prepare to return home. At this moment, Zhang Changxun suddenly hurried over. He found Li Zhiyun and said solemnly, "Your Highness, the situation has changed." Upon hearing this, Li Zhiyun was surprised:
"What's going on?"
"Xu Ju heard that the Tang Dynasty sent an envoy to Mohe Duoshe's ministry with a lot of money, and sent a batch of gold and silver jewelry, including more than a dozen boxes. After Mohe Duoshe received the gold and silver, he changed his mind again.
"
"A dozen boxes? That many?" Li Zhiyun seemed a little unconvinced.
Zhang Changxun nodded and said: "It's absolutely true. I saw with my own eyes that it was two or three times more than what His Highness gave to Mo Hedu yesterday." After hearing this, Li Zhiyun thought to himself, it seems that Xue Ju's
This time he really spent a lot of money. But if you think about it, you can understand that for him, Chang'an City is much more important than those gold and silver treasures.
Seeing Li Zhiyun's bad expression, Zhang Changxun quickly comforted him: "Your Highness, don't worry too much. I'll go find Mo He Dushe and try to persuade him to refuse Xue Ju's bribe." After saying that, he hurried away.
After Zhang Changxun left, Li Zhiyun asked the guards to call Yu Wenxin, Zhang Zheng and Cai Hu to his yurt and told the three of them about the situation. When the three of them heard this, they all became anxious. Cai Hu said: "How about we also send someone
Go back to Chang'an and pick up some gold, silver and jewelry?"
After hearing this, Li Zhiyun shook his head and said: "Chang'an is a long way from here. It takes at least three months to go back and forth. There is no time. Besides, Mohe Dushe is a bottomless pit, and no amount of money can fill it." Zhang Zhengdao
: "Didn't Zhang Changxun say that he would help us persuade Mo He Dushe?"
Li Zhiyun smiled and said: "Mo He Dushe is such a greedy person. How can Zhang Changxun convince him with his red mouth and white teeth? I think there is little hope." When Yu Wenxin heard this, he asked anxiously: "What should we do?"
Li Zhiyun thought for a while and said, "You guys go out first and let me calm down for a while." After the three of them went out, Li Zhiyun walked around in the yurt, frowning in thought as he walked. After walking around a few times, he let the person at the door
The guard went to call Zhang Zheng over. After a while, Zhang Zheng walked in. Li Zhiyun asked: "Do you know where Xue Ju's envoy lives?"
"I've made inquiries and found out that their camp is not far from here, only two or three miles away."
"How many of them are there?"
"About seventy or eighty people."
Li Zhiyun listened, nodded, and asked him to call Yu Wenxin and Cai Hu. Not long after Zhang Zheng left, he called Yu Wenxin and Cai Hu over, and the three of them sat around a low table. Li Zhiyun was next to him.
He sat down on a low stool and said, "How can I make Mohe Dushe change his mind? I thought about it carefully and came up with a way." After hearing this, the three of them didn't say anything, but looked eagerly.
Staring at him.
Li Zhiyun continued: "Let's sneak attack the camp of Xue Ju's envoys tonight and kill them all. Only in this way can we break off the communication between Mohe Dushe and Xue Ju."
When the three people heard this, they were all shocked and looked at each other. Yu Wenxin said worriedly: "Your Majesty, we are killing people on the territory of the Turks. What if Mohe Dushe is angered and he kills us? To say the least, even if
If he doesn't kill us and hands us over to Xue Ju, what should we do?"
Li Zhiyun's eyes were firm: "I can't care about so much anymore! As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cubs? Only by killing Xue Ju's envoys and completely severing contact between Xue Ju and Mohe Dushe can we complete my father's death.
Mission delivered!”
Zhang Zheng and Cai Hu are both bloody men. When they heard what Li Zhiyun said, they both agreed. Cai Hu said: "Your Majesty, we listen to you and do whatever you say!" Seeing that they both agreed, Yu Wenxin had no choice but to do it.
Agree.
In fact, Li Zhiyun's decision to sneak attack Xue Ju's envoy's camp was not entirely reckless. He had already found out clearly that although Zhang Changxun was the commander of Wuyuan Tongshou, his territory included not only Wuyuan County, but also Wudu County and Danqu County.
.Moreover, Zhang Changxun has 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers under his command.
Ma, a very powerful faction, even Mohe Dushe is afraid of him. Li Zhiyun killed Xue Ju's envoy, although it may anger Mohe Dushe, but with his relationship with Zhang Changxun, as long as Zhang Changxun comes forward to help him
Speaking, Mo He Dushe did not dare to embarrass him too much.
As night fell, Li Zhiyun led his entourage to quietly leave the camp. After about half a stick of incense, they came to the vicinity of the Xue Ju envoy's camp. A half-waning moon hung in the sky, and under the hazy moonlight, only a dozen yurts could be seen standing.
On the vast grassland, there are several yurts with lights on, and sentries patrolling around the camp.
Everyone was lying in ambush in the grass a stone's throw away. Zhang Zheng squatted next to Li Zhiyun and whispered: "My lord, you stay here, I will lead people to rush over!" Li Zhiyun looked up at the moon in the sky and said:
Chapter completed!
