Chapter 417 Feeling like old friends at first sight (2)
"Yuan Junzhang, you are so brave!"
"Whoosh!"
The sound of a whip piercing the air was heard, and two vases were swept down from the table. Broken porcelain pieces were scattered everywhere. Yuan Junzhang, who stood there without daring to move, hesitated whether to kneel down and beg for mercy... He was caught in the act after defecting.
, What a long life!
Curses mixed with Turkic language spewed out from the mouths of the association leaders. In any case, Liu Heita, Gao Kaidao, Liang Shidu, Yuan Junzhang and others all relied on the Turks to resist the Tang army or invade the Tang Dynasty. Now Liu Heita
After Ta's death, the other three were highly valued by the Turkic upper class.
In fact, the Turks invaded Hebei, Hedong, and Guannai many times, but in fact, the Turkic territory was not bordering the Li and Tang territories. These warlords were in the middle as a buffer zone. Their movements had a strong warning significance. Li Tang recruited Yuan Jun
Zhang...means that the Tang Dynasty had the ambition to compete with the Turks, which was intolerable to the Turks.
After a while, Yu Sheshu, who had remained silent, waved his hand and said, "Sit down."
Yuan Junzhang sat down hesitantly, with half of his butt hanging... He thought that if Cui Xin, Li Shan, and Liu Shirang died in Mayi, he would be dead in the Tang Dynasty.
But then I thought about it, Li Shan was too careless in doing things, someone must have secretly communicated with the Turks... Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence!
Fortunately, the news should have been sent to Yunzhou... Yuan Junzhang knew very well that a month ago, the Turks returned to the west, and most of them returned to the grasslands. Yugushe returned to Wuyuan County, and Yusheshe was stationed in Yunzhou...
…This is to prevent him from losing his horse and returning to Yunzhou.
Thinking of this, Yuan Junzhang was a little lucky. Fortunately, it was Yu Sheshe and Jieshe Sui who came. If it was Yu Gushe...
"Defection to the Tang Dynasty will never be allowed." Yu Sheshe said lightly. He knew very well that he had arrived in Mayi, and Yuan Junzhang would never dare to continue the unfinished recruitment ceremony.
"Yes Yes."
Yu Sheshe asked with great interest: "Who is the lobbyist?"
Yuan Junzhang hesitated and hesitated, and Yu Sheshe smiled and said, "I think it must be Li Huairen."
Li Shan's identity was revealed, and Yuan Junzhang no longer concealed many things, and poured out everything he could tell.
Yu Sheshe's expression changed from relaxed and relaxed to gradually serious. In the past few months, the changes in Daizhou, the opening of trade routes, and the massive loss of population in Shuozhou and Yunzhou were actually led by this Daixian magistrate.
Rather than saying that Li Shan persuaded Yuan Junzhang to defect to the Tang Dynasty, it was better to say that he forced Yuan Junzhang to choose to defect to the Tang Dynasty... Yu Sheshe thought in his heart that for such a method, the second brother's praise was not exaggerated.
The leader on the side also became interested. He glanced at Yu Sheshe, turned around and asked, "Is it Li Huairen who is stationed at Yanmen Pass?"
Yuan Junzhang wiped the cold sweat on his head and whispered: "Liu Shirang is called the guard general, but in fact the military power lies in the hands of Li Huairen."
Jiushesu couldn't help but laugh, "So, when we leave Yanmen that day..."
"Ahem." Yu Sheshe glared at him. Two months ago, he led his Qingqi to pursue Li Gaoqian and was defeated by the Tang army outside Yanmen Pass. He was in a terrible state.
Yuan Junzhang knew about this. Yuan Xiaozheng had already mentioned it. Those who went to battle that day were Linji County Hou Kanling and Li Shan's personal guard leader Wang Junhao. Both of them are now in Mayi.
Yu Sheshe thought about it for a while and asked in a low voice: "I heard that this person is not Li from Longxi, Li from Zhaojun, or a descendant of the clan?"
Yuan Junzhang immediately replied: "The ancestral home is Chengji in Longxi, but it is probably not the Li family in Longxi. The descendants of the clan are not yet known... However, the Emperor of Tang regards him as his nephew, and he is the sibling of Princess Pingyang."
"Maybe he is a descendant of the clan?" Yu Sheshe murmured a few words, feeling that Ashina Sheer's news may not be accurate, and maybe he was fooled by Li Shan last year.
Yuan Junzhang sat there tremblingly, listening to the group's continued scolding, while Yu Sheshe fell into silence again. He thought of many things.
Nowadays, the Turks are in civil strife. The Turkic Khan suddenly returned to Wuyuan County two years after being sent away. Now the two khans in the royal tent are fighting openly and secretly, and all the Turkic tribes are in a state of turmoil.
Tuli Khan has won over many Shibi Khans. Chuluo Khan's old subordinates, such as Yu Sheshe, have a typical association rate, but in general, Tuli Khan is still at a disadvantage... Therefore, he needs assistants
.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Yu Sheshe was vaguely aware that his cousin might have Li Tang as one of his targets.
On the grassland, it is common for entire clans to surrender one day and rebel tomorrow. Even tribes often engage in annexation and annihilation wars. Tuli Khan did not have many targets to choose from, and the Tang Dynasty, which had basically unified China,
It is one of the most reliable targets... because he knows very well that Jieli Khan has invaded several times, and there is absolutely no room for maneuver between him and the Tang Emperor. There will be a battle in the future.
Therefore, Tuli Khan never attacked the Tang Dynasty. He was stationed in the eastern part of Tujue, bordering Youzhou. When Liu Heita came back last year, he refused to send troops, so Jieli Khan had to mobilize Yugushe and A
Shina Sheer.
For Tuli Khan, there was no benefit in attacking the Tang Dynasty. To put it more exaggeratedly, if Jieli Khan conquered Chang'an or even took control of the Central Plains, it would be of no benefit to him, and he would even suffer disaster as a result.
Yu Sheshe had a very close relationship with Tuli Khan, and could vaguely sense his cousin's thoughts, and wanted to take advantage of Li Tang to compete with Jieli Khan, or even replace him.
Then, we need an intermediary who can contact the Li Tang royal family and will not arouse the suspicion of Jieli Khan.
Yu Sheshe thought over and over in his mind that this acting county magistrate was very suitable... The best thing was that Yu Gushe hated him with all his heart.
Tuli Khan wanted to rely on Li Tang to check and balance Jieli Khan. On the other hand, Li Tang could also rely on Tuli Khan to check and balance Jieli Khan, and even split the Turks. This was a common method used by the Han people... Yu Sheshe pondered
, Li Huairen tried so hard to force Yuan Junzhang to surrender, so how could he not reach out and win this great achievement?
At this moment, Li Shan didn't have time to think about these things. He was sitting in the yard with a gloomy face, thinking about whether he should leave immediately and return eastward.
Yu She set up, and the association rate reached Mayi, and the recruitment was bound to fail... What would this mean?
This means that the Turks are likely to use Mayi to attack Yanmen next year. Can they hold it?
If he cannot hold on, all his plans in Dai County will come to nothing, and he may even have to flee back to Chang'an. Although he may not be accused, will Pei Shiju remain indifferent and not take action?
If nothing else, I can’t stand this tone!
But if he doesn’t leave, Yu Sheshe and the association leader may come, and maybe Yu Gushe will come to kill him in two days... By then, even if he has three hundred personal guards to protect him, he may not be able to escape back to Yanmen Pass.
.
"Lang Jun, the scout is reporting." Wang Junhao strode over and whispered in his ear: "There are no enemies within fifty miles. There should be only these five hundred enemy cavalry."
This was within Li Shan's expectation. He nodded slightly, looked at Fan Shiyi who was entering at the same time, frowned and said, "I want you to keep an eye on Liu Shirang..."
He stopped mid-sentence because Li Shan saw Cui Xin and Liu Shirang appear at the door.
