Chapter 1200 Muchuan interrogated the Turkic envoy, and the envoy confessed to conspiring to overturn the situation
Muchuan, the governor of the Tang Dynasty, interrogated members of the Turkic mission at the Prince Qing's Mansion in Luoyang, and learned a surprising fact.
The Turks sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty to seek peace.
The Turks knew that the Tang Dynasty was very powerful and would suffer heavy losses if they fought with it, but they were unwilling to give up and had to solve the problem through peaceful means.
Since the Tang Dynasty began to conquer foreign tribes, it was well aware of the threat of foreign tribes.
Moreover, we have suffered big losses several times in history, so we are not resistant to seeking peace, and we even look forward to it.
However, the current King of Luoyang, Li Tai, firmly opposed the peace talks.
Because the current Emperor Taizong, Li Shimin, once issued an order to "never compromise with foreigners," Li Tai believed that the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the dignity of the Tang Dynasty, and the people of the Tang Dynasty would not be allowed to be trampled upon by foreigners.
If peace talks were agreed to, wouldn't Datang's army become the lackeys of foreign nations?
Wouldn’t it make the world a laughing stock?
Muchuan agreed with Li Tai's attitude from the bottom of his heart, and he was a member of the royal family.
Li Tai's meaning actually represents the entire court, and his words represent the imperial edict. Who dares to go against his will?
However, the Turkic envoys conspired to assassinate Prince Li Tai, and secretly set up troops in Chencang outside Luoyang City.
Let Muchuan's system discover and prompt you to prepare in advance.
Now all the members of the Turkic mission who assassinated Li Tai have been captured. In less than half an hour of fighting, these mission members were basically unable to fight back.
The members of the Turkic mission are all tall and burly warriors with excellent physical fitness.
Although not as good as the northwest Han soldiers, they can still be considered a difficult character on the battlefield.
But in front of the well-trained Tang army, there was no room for resistance and they were easily defeated.
Muchuan looked at several senior Turkic envoys kneeling in front of him and said indifferently: "Are you wondering why I know your whereabouts?"
"Yes, how did you know our whereabouts?"
The leader of the Turks asked with confusion on his face.
Muchuan smiled faintly: "Of course I guessed it based on my intelligence."
"This is impossible!"
The leader of the Turkic mission immediately retorted.
The Turks do have extraordinary observation abilities, but their observation abilities are limited to beasts, and they are not good at reconnaissance and deduction.
Therefore, it is really amazing that Muchuan can guess their whereabouts.
Muchuan sighed slightly: "I hope you don't believe it, but it is the fact.
Do you think your whereabouts are hidden?
You are wrong, I have known it for a long time."
"This is impossible!"
"How could we be discovered?"
…
The Turkic envoys still said with disbelief.
The leader of the Turkic envoys felt that he had done a perfect job this time. He bought weapons in Youzhou and secretly transported them to Luoyang, and finally raised his troops to attack the Luoyang palace.
These Turks are Turkic nobles. They are domineering villains on the grasslands, but in Luoyang they are groveling slaves.
Unwilling to remain slaves to the Turks, they planned to assassinate Li Tai, Muchuan and others.
This matter was carried out secretly. Even the Turkic envoys did not know the details, but Muchuan knew it.
Muchuan snorted coldly and said, "Since you don't want to admit it, I'll tell you.
In fact, I already knew you were coming before you came.
I have already anticipated your conspiracy."
Hearing these words, the Turkic envoys were suddenly stunned, with a look of fear on their faces. Could it be that their plan and others had been exposed long ago?
Their conspiracy and conspiracy had been discovered long ago, so the work of this group of people was not in vain.
So what to do now?
Their heads were buzzing and they didn't know how to deal with the current situation.
Muchuan said slowly: "According to my inference, when you were attacked on the way, it was probably my people who did it. Our goal is not to kill you, but to capture you alive.
If you accept the punishment honestly, I will spare your life and even guarantee your right to live.
But you should definitely not want to assassinate me and His Highness Li Tai, and also want to kill the Tang court official.
Your behavior has offended His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the Imperial Concubine."
The members of the Turkic mission were frightened.
According to the plan, they can successfully attack the Prince's Mansion in Luoyang City, use the Prince as a hostage to control the army in the city, and then find their allies to join forces inside and outside to capture Luoyang.
However, the plan could never keep up with the changes. Governor Muchuan of the Tang Empire actually caught them and captured them in just half an hour.
"You should think about this matter slowly, you will inevitably be punished by death, and you will not be able to escape the crime of living.
Your families and vassal countries will be implicated, or at least that will be the outcome of a war between the two countries."
Muchuan said, "I will leave you a way to survive, but you need to obey my orders in the future."
When these Turkic envoys heard these words, they immediately showed anger.
"You bastard, don't even think about controlling us!"
The leading Turkic envoy roared angrily.
"oh?
It seems that you really want to die, so I will help you."
Muchuan said with a smile, "Drag them down, cut off their legs and feet first, cut out their tongues, then cut off their heads and hang them at the city gate to be exposed to the sun for seven days and nights."
"No, no, no, we are willing to surrender and surrender."
The Turks were immediately frightened out of their wits, wailing and kneeling down.
"late!"
Muchuan said coldly, "If you dare to attack the imperial envoys, I will kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, otherwise others will think that the Tang Dynasty is weak and can be bullied."
The group of Turks immediately collapsed to the ground and cried bitterly.
"Governor Muchuan, spare our lives. We are willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty and be loyal to you from now on. Please spare us!"
Muchuan nodded and said, "Well, that's good.
Since you are willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, our Datang Empire will not treat you badly.
You just need to guard the border for a few years, and then you can go back to your own country and live a good life."
Hearing Muchuan's words, these Turks were suddenly surprised and happy.
They originally thought they would die, but they didn't expect to be able to return to their own country. It was like a dream.
No matter what, they are all prisoners now, even if they are prisoners for the rest of their lives.
Muchuan took them to the city wall.
"May I have your name?"
Muchuan looked at the leading envoy and asked.
"Replying to your lord, my name is Alguda."
Alguda said respectfully, "I am willing to join the Tang Dynasty to repay Heaven's kindness."
Arguda, the envoy of the Northern Turks and one of the sons of the Turkic leader.
His mission was to persuade Datang to surrender and make him give up resistance and promise not to invade Turkic territory.
As a result, he suddenly decided to come here to plot a rebellion.
