"I have brought the voice of the incomparable noble Jieli Khan. As long as you can offer him the head of Mayi County Lieutenant Liu Wuzhou, you will gain his brotherly love..."
This Turkic man, as rough as stone, with a strong grassland aura, suddenly came to Li Po and made a request that sounded extremely absurd. △
Jieli Khan, in Turkic language, can actually be called the Khan of the West, and his counterpart is the Khan of the East, also known as the Khan of the East.
In view of the vast territory of the Turks, these were two minor khans set up by the Turkic Great Khan to govern the Turkic tribes in the east and west respectively.
They are generally the brothers and nephews of the Great Khan, and they have the most noble blood among the Turks.
Today, when Turks are divided into eastern and western parts, Jieli Khan's power is naturally inferior to that of Tuli Khan, but in terms of closeness to the royal court, Jieli Khan is often slightly better. After all, in the eyes of the Turks, the Western Regions are
, is a place that shines like gold.
They were undoubtedly the vassal kings of the Turkic Khanate, and they were often the most powerful contenders for the position of the Turkic Great Khan, as well as the first and second heirs.
Li Po was not very familiar with the Turkic political system, but he was certainly not unfamiliar with it.
He would naturally know about a powerful Turkic figure like Jieli Khan.
It's just that you are here inexplicably. You said that you were thousands of miles away from the Turkic Khan of the West, and you came to Mayi and wanted the head of the county captain Liu Wuzhou.
Liu Wuzhou was very capable and had offended people so far away. Didn't he also send assassins to assassinate people? If that were the case, he would really be impressed by Liu Wuzhou.
At this time, Li Po could not have imagined that it was the crown he gave away that caused the trouble. Besides, there was someone in the middle who didn't want to cause more trouble, so he distorted it a little, and this was the result.
The culprit who wiped out the Red Liu'an Department was fine, but Liu Wuzhou, the captain of Mayi County, bore the brunt and became the scapegoat.
Moreover, Jieli Khan, who was far away at the foot of the Holy Mountain, was able to send an envoy to find Yunnei so quickly, and it was also indispensable for the help of the fat man Da Luobin in the Turkic Khan's account.
Obviously, they thought very carefully. Not only did they want to please Jieli Khan, but they also wanted to see if Yunnei, the Sui hero, was a man who could not be subdued by force and wealth. If Li Po chose to bow to Jieli Khan,
If you happily agree to this matter, then you will have achieved meritorious service.
Killing two birds with one stone, who said the Turks are stupid?
Of course, the key point is who attacked the Chiliu'an Department. Needless to say, it is the Heng'an Zhenjun of the Sui people or Liu Wuzhou, the lieutenant of Mayi County. Who can say clearly?
Anyway, Jieli Khan was so angry that he immediately sent an envoy to Yunnei under the guidance of Pang Luo.
This process is a bit complicated and confusing. Even if Li is given ten more heads, he still won't be able to figure it out clearly. There is no way, some things are just so inexplicable.
Looking at the arrogant Turkic envoy with his head raised and chest raised, Li Po wanted to laugh, but he tightened the corners of his mouth and let the clouds cover up his true emotions as much as possible.
He looked around and saw three captains in the lobby, Li Wu, Bu Qun, and Yuchi.
He would not meet with any Turks privately and give wrong information to his subordinates who might get the information, so now he has summoned the three most important generals in the army.
I just didn't expect to hear such a puzzling request. It's just that the arrogance of the Turks is too high. You know, a few years ago, the Turkic Khan knelt in front of the Sui Emperor and called him the Sui Emperor.
The emperor is the Holy Khan.
A few years later, the Turks became bossy towards the Sui Dynasty's generals, as they were to their ministers.
Jieli Khan may have sent a very courageous guy, but he was not a good messenger.
Courage often represents toughness, or strength, in diplomacy. Perhaps the Turks feel that this is appropriate, but once they face someone who does not want to surrender, the results will be very bad.
This is a guy who confuses the purpose and the process. He can't grasp the key points, which is a taboo for diplomats. What's more, he knows nothing about the Heng'an Town Army.
There is nothing to say. These days, there are quite a lot of such envoys without purpose. In other words, they generally don’t think about how to achieve the purpose of the mission, but focus on the process of the mission.
What's even more ridiculous is that they are often praised when they return. In fact, most of them fail to achieve the purpose of their mission.
Of course, these are irrelevant, and the arrogance of the visitor is indeed quite irritating.
Yuchi was angry first. When Li Po looked over, the big black man immediately said: "General, this man is so contemptuous and hateful. It is better to let the last general kill him so that the Turks know that we, Heng'an
The town should not be insulted lightly."
Jieli Khan's envoy immediately turned his head and looked over, saying contemptuously: "I come with the Khan's goodwill, please don't reject him, otherwise, everyone will be burned to ashes by the Khan's anger."
There is no doubt that this is a guy who is desperately trying to hammer nails into his coffin.
Li Po waved his hand in time to calm down the irritated captains, and finally asked: "This is Yunnei in the Sui Dynasty, not the Turkic Khan's account. Jieli Khan's anger cannot burn here. I
His anger can burn you to ashes. Well, don’t test my patience. What I want to ask is, why did Jieli Khan want Liu Wuzhou’s head?”
The envoy felt very hurt, so he was also very angry, but obviously he did not want to lose his life to the Sui people. He acted like you have the right to know the reason, lowered his head slightly, stroked his chest and said: "That hateful person
The guy sent a crown to the royal court, but that crown originally belonged to... a very noble person."
"The crown has returned to the Khan, but those who desecrated it should be severely punished. As one of the most powerful people in Mayi County, you should also want to kill this person who betrayed the Sui Dynasty.
?Moreover, you can also gain the friendship of the Khan. I think you can make a wise choice."
Li Po finally suddenly realized that Yuchi, as the executor, was also dumbfounded. He felt that the ability to lead the master to harm others was really something that others could not learn.
Li Po held back his laughter, "Okay, go back and tell Jieli Khan that he won't have to worry about the Sui Dynasty. If he wants someone's head, let him get it himself. I think there are many people on the grassland.
How could he, who is so famous, leave the matter of revenge to outsiders?"
The Turkic envoy was finally disappointed and was forcibly sent away with full of anger.
What he didn't know was that he had given Li Po a very important piece of information. Liu Wuzhou had colluded with the Turks and offended them instead.
This is really good news. After thinking about it, if he was Jieli Khan, he should have sent someone to see Liu Wuzhou at this time, and then asked Liu Wuzhou to come and take his head. In this way, Liu Wuzhou would definitely be pissed off.
Just send in some more assassins.
But the Turks are a bit stupid and would never have thought of such a brilliant idea.
Using a crown to quell Liu Wuzhou's thoughts has a great effect. When he gave the crown as a gift, he actually had this intention in mind.
The crown from the king of the Western Regions. Whenever Liu Wuzhou had contact with the Turks, he would definitely give this thing away without thinking. Unless Liu Wuzhou was too fond of money, otherwise, this would almost 100% happen.
If the stolen goods are returned to the owner and someone recognizes them, that would be great fun.
Sure enough, Liu Wu immediately fell into the hole he had dug.
Of course, the effect was so good that the Turks offered a reward for Liu Wuzhou's head, which was an unexpected surprise for him.
The reason why he didn't agree is very simple.
Without the involvement of the Turks, Liu Wuzhou would have been of little importance in Mayi. He had no intention of making compromises with the Turks, so he might as well have simply refused to let his subordinates understand that he was incompatible with the Turks.
In his opinion, the matter was over. As for Jieli Khan's anger, he didn't take it seriously at all.
During the second half of this winter, Li Po almost lived in military camps all over Yunnei City, eating and living with the soldiers of the Heng'an Town Army, supervising the generals in the army to continuously enforce strict military discipline and train their troops.
Until November, when the twelfth lunar month was about to enter, Chen Yuan led his troops back to Yunnei, and the quelling army of Yang Yichen, the imperial servant, was disbanded.
Yang Yichen, the imperial servant, had no choice but to return to the Eastern Capital to accept the various questions and embarrassments from the officials in the Eastern Capital. Of course, the situation in the Eastern Capital was already extremely unoptimistic at this time.
Zhang Xutuo died in the battle, and the war situation in eastern Henan was completely ruined. Zhai Rang and Li Mi's Wagang Army were stationed in Zhengzhou, eyeing Luoyang, and sent Yang Yichen back. In fact, they were preparing for the defense of Luoyang.
What surprised Li Po and increased the pressure was that he went out with a thousand troops, but when he came back there were 3,000.
Most of these new troops were from Hebei, and some were from Shandong. Most of these people were former soldiers, and later joined the rebels one after another. After being defeated by Yang Yichen, they fell under Yang Yichen's command.
As soon as Yang Yichen left, they had nowhere to go. They neither wanted to go back to their hometown nor fight behind the chaotic kings, so they were persuaded by Chen Yuan to follow him back to Yunnei.
What Li Po didn't expect in particular was that Chen Yuan actually brought back another person. Li Po's little wings finally showed some power and deflected this person's fate.
