Facing the seemingly mute Jiuhe Su, Li Shan smiled and said: "Don't you want Brother Su to return to Wuyuan County alive?"
The young man in front of him was still gentle and elegant, and the smile on his face was still gentle, but a chill surged from the depths of his heart, making him shiver.
For ten days in Ma Yi, we talked about almost everything, made covenants, drank and had fun, and even the other party personally cooked. But last night, the shining long knife, the long spear like a poisonous dragon, and the sweeping iron tools made the association...
How can I not be frightened by the rate?
Although he was only in his early twenties, as the youngest son of Shibi Khan, he had no shortage of battle experience. What he was afraid of was the hard-to-understand character of the person in front of him... He was killed with a single blow, but there was still a smile on his face.
Li Shan had someone fetch bedding and spread it on the ground. He took all the guards out and sat down slowly. He said softly, "I couldn't decide whether to kill you or Brother Momo."
"But it was helpless that Brother Mo Mo had many tribesmen under his command, and Brother Shu was also the brother of Tuli Khan. It's a pity... Even though we hit it off, and even though we fell in love with each other, we still took Brother Mo Mo's head."
Jiu Shesu shrank back. He clearly remembered that he and Yu Sheshe were both kicked down not far from the camp gate. Liu Shirang looked back and forth for a long time before finally grabbing Yu Sheshe's feet and dragging him all the way.
Go outside the camp gate.
Then, the association leaders witnessed with their own eyes, first Liu Shirang chopped off Yu Sheshe's head with a knife, and then Yuan Junzhang chopped off Yu Sheshe's head and knelt down to offer it.
From waking up from sleep, being knocked over by Liu Shirang, to thousands of horses galloping, lights brightly lit, and finally seeing with his own eyes, Yuan Junzhang knelt down and being caressed by the Tang envoy... even the members could not believe what they had experienced.
Li Shan curiously observed the expression on his face and asked with a smile: "Don't you want to take revenge by killing someone with a knife?"
Jiushesu's body shrank back again.
"Give you this chance." Li Shan shook his head, "If I really don't kill you, I really will let you go."
"Five hundred Turks, and thirty-two people who can ride horses and hold swords. Each person should prepare two war horses, dry food and water. If you change people without changing horses, you should be able to reach Wuyuan County within two days, right?"
The association rate nodded silently.
Li Shan moved forward, "Do you know why I let you go back?"
Without waiting for any reaction from Association Su, Li Shan continued: "Brother Su, have you forgotten?"
"You and I have made an alliance. If there is no brother, how will Khan Tuli know about it?"
"Such a major event must have the approval of Khan Tuli."
The association rate looked blank... Do you still want to form an alliance with us?
Then why did you raid the camp at night?
Why still kill Yu Sheshe?
On the other hand, you killed Yu Sheshe and forced Yuan Junzhang's entire army to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, but you still want to form an alliance with us?
Li Shan sighed. If Yu She was here, he would have reacted quickly and maybe even discussed the terms with him. But the association rate in front of him... seemed a bit silly.
Yes, we must break things down and tell him clearly.
Li Shan said patiently: "I heard Brother Momo mention it before, and Brother Shu also mentioned it...Brother Momo is the youngest son of Chuluo Khan. According to grassland practice, the tribe left by Chuluo Khan, Brother Momo is divided into
The most?”
The association rate nodded stupidly, it is indeed true.
"Among the Ashina royal family, how many of them have a larger tribe population than Brother Momo?"
The leader hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Jieli Khan, Tuli Khan."
"In other words, Brother Momo is a key figure who can influence the balance of the situation." Li Shan analyzed the situation for the association with great patience, "If Brother Momo had joined Jieli Khan, I'm afraid Tuli Khan would have already
It’s hard to resist.”
"Now that Brother Mo Mo is beheaded by Yuan Junzhang, what will happen to the tribe he left behind?"
The association's expression changed drastically, "This...this..."
"Brother Momo relied on Tuli Khan before, but the latter could only barely compete with Jieli Khan and fell into a disadvantage." Li Shan sighed: "If the tribal population left by brother Momo is annexed by Jieli Khan,
That Tuli Khan..."
This time, the association completely understood. Indeed, if Jieli Khan annexed the tribes left by Yusheshe, his power would completely overwhelm Tuli Khan.
Li Shan said sincerely: "Li Tang never wanted to see a Turk with unified orders. If the Tuli Khan is willing to be driven by the Jieli Khan... then there is nothing he can do."
"But, I'm afraid Tuli Khan won't be willing to stick his neck out, right?"
"I remember that Ao Sheshe, the eldest son of Chuluo Khan, failed to inherit the throne. After Jieli Khan came to the throne, Ao Sheshe died suddenly..."
The smile on Li Shan's face grew wider, "Now do you know what to do when you go back?"
The association leader gritted his teeth and said, "Hurry back to Wuyuan County as soon as possible and inform your brother that Yu Sheshe is dead... gather the remaining members of Yu Sheshe as soon as possible..."
"Be good." Li Shan smiled and clapped his hands.
The boss and the second son fought, but it was the third son who died...Although Yu Sheshe died in the hands of the Tang army, the legacy he left behind was very important. It was impossible for Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan not to fight for it.
Although Tuli Khan probably gathered the tribes in the name of revenge for Yu Sheshe, Li Shan did not think that the historical Khan who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty would come to attack Yanmen Pass... On the contrary, he was likely to drag Jie Li Ke away.
Sweaty hind legs.
"The horses, dry food, and water have all been prepared." Li Shan tilted his head and thought for a moment, then added: "I have agreed to form an alliance with Brother Mo Mo before, so don't forget Brother Lute."
Li Shan suddenly remembered that during the two days of discussing the alliance, especially the details of Daizhou and Shuozhou, Li Shan stopped himself from getting drunk several times, and patiently asked himself again and again if he remembered... At that time, he
Made up my mind!
"Don't worry, I'll put integrity first!" Li Shan patted his chest and said shamelessly: "For example, if we export grain and grass to Mayi... we will never delay it!"
Youshesu's face froze... Do you still want to be embarrassed?!
"If Tuli Khan is interested, he can send an envoy to follow the caravan into Yanmen Pass." Li Shan stood up with his hands on the quilt, "By the way, be careful on the way back and don't bump into Yu Gushe."
A quarter of an hour later, watching the thirty-three cavalry disappear in the wind and snow, Li Shan thought in his heart that he has always been kind to others, but he did not expect that he was also good at drawing hatred. The Ashina royal family alone had Yugushe, and the association led two people.
He is an enemy... He cannot fall into the hands of the Turks in the future. No matter which side he is, he will definitely be cut to pieces.
However, Li Shan is very confident in the association rate for this trip.
After Yu Sheshe died, how could Tuli Khan let this big fat man go and let Jieli Khan annex the tribe and expand his power?
I just don’t know how much benefit Tuli Khan can get from getting the news first?
And what kind of response would Jieli Khan have... How about a fight? Anyway, Li Shan would like to see whoever dies.
In the past few decades, the internal fighting among the Turkic royal families has been more fierce than the struggle between princes in the Sui and Tang dynasties. One disadvantage is the continuous wars.
Regarding alliances, the choice of Tuli Khan to form an alliance with Li Tang in history was determined by political factors. The death of Yu Sheshe would not affect Tuli Khan's choice...because he had no other choice.
Moreover, even if the covenant fails, Tuli Khan is short-sighted, the two sides become enemies, or even if Tuli Khan joins forces with Jieli Khan to invade... he will not be punished.
You must know that Li Shan had tested several times in Mayi before, and he was very sure that Tuli Khan had not formed an alliance with Li Tang... Since there was no alliance, he killed the descendants of the Ashina royal family by himself and forced Yuan Junzhang to surrender in Mayi.
Is it a sin?
Who in their head would impeach themselves for killing a descendant of the Turkic royal family without permission?
After thinking about it for a long time, Li Shan rubbed his eyebrows and turned around and said, "It's been more than two hours. Let's set off."
He chose to leave Mayi when it was still dark, and chose to settle here just for the sake of association... But now, he needed to be in a hurry, and Li Shanzhen was afraid that Yu Gushe would suddenly come out.
At this moment, in Yunzhou, Yu Gushe was gritting his teeth and looking to the south. He didn't expect, he didn't expect, that Li Shan had been appointed as the acting county magistrate half a year ago, and was actually sent to Mayi to recruit Yuan Junzhang!
His legs kicked the horse's belly violently, and the horse headed south. Behind him were thousands of cavalry. Even in the cold winter, Jieli Khan's status as the only son was enough to lead thousands of cavalry into battle.
Li Shan, I will cut you into pieces with a thousand knives!
