Chapter 72 Collaboration with the enemy and treason
The Yinan Khan worshiped the Han people.
He longed for the warmth and wealth of the Han family, worshiped the Han family's thousand-year inheritance, and admired the Han family's rich clothes, poems, books and etiquette. The reason why he asked for a marriage from the Tang Dynasty was, on the one hand, because he hoped to use this to enhance Xue Yantuo's status in Mobei.
The ruler, on the other hand, also has the obsession to marry a noble, elegant, educated and courteous Han woman.
Therefore, even though Xue Yantuo could not change the nature of the grassland people to burn, kill and plunder, he never regarded the Tang Dynasty as a life and death enemy and wanted to overthrow it and then quickly.
Yinan Khan's favorite book is "Three Kingdoms", and the person he admires the most is Emperor Wu of Wei.
At this moment, Shi Xiao Siye, the chief of the Shanyu Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty, came to surrender, which reminded him inexplicably of the time when Emperor Wu of Wei was trapped in Chou City when he faced the attack of Yuan Shao's army. Later, when Xu You came to surrender, Emperor Wu of Wei went out to welcome him, thus gaining Xu You's loyalty.
, got the ingenious plan to attack Wuchao and defeat Yuan Shao...
As Xue Yantuo Khan, it was naturally impossible for him to stand on his back to greet him, but his mood at the moment was the same as that of Cao Cao back then.
He immediately led everyone in the tent to the entrance of the tent. Looking at Xiao Siye, who looked haggard due to his long escape, but still had a noble temperament, he took two steps forward, held his hands tightly, and said with emotion: "Chief Xiao has traveled thousands of miles to join us, it is really a blessing.
My son is far away!"
Xiao Siye was a little confused, and even more flattered.
As a descendant of the Xiao family, studying poetry and books is a must. When he was young, he followed Empress Xiao to the grasslands. Under the supervision of Empress Xiao, he never slacked off in his studies. Of course he had read "Three Kingdoms" and naturally knew "
"Ziyuan" is Xu You's character.
By the Yellow River, will the fire burn the black nest?
Not to mention, the history is actually a little similar...
He didn't have time to laugh at a mere prairie barbarian who dared to brazenly call himself Emperor Wu of Wei, but since Yi Nan Khan could regard him as Xu You, it showed how much he valued him.
Xiao Siye, who was worried that he would not be taken seriously along the way, took a long breath and put his heart back into his stomach.
Holding Yi Nan Khan's hand with his backhand, Xiao Siye looked moved with a look on his face and his eyes were red: "How can a mere petty official dare to greet the Great Khan in person? The Great Khan is so courteous to the virtuous corporal, and he is quite like the sages of ancient times.
I am indescribably grateful, but I can only do my best to help you!"
He was really touched!
Over the past few days, the dangers he has encountered in the world have made him doubt his life. There is a dead end in front of him, and there is no hope. Now that he has abandoned his home and country and joined the barbarians, he has received the attention he has always wanted but never had, which makes him quite a scholar.
The feeling of death for a confidant.
Of course, this feeling only lasted for a moment...
I am a descendant of the Lanling Xiao family, a pure bloodline of the Han family. Now I am just looking for a place to settle down in life. Helping you to destroy the house is enough to be worthy of any reward and favor from you Xue Yantuo. As for dying...
nonexistent.
"Haha, very good, very good! I have loved the poetry and books of the Han family the most in my life, and admired the heroes of the Han family. I am very happy that a young and handsome man like Xiao Changshi can come to Xue Yantuo all the way.
I won’t treat you badly!”
Yinan Khan indeed envied the cultural inheritance of the Han family, but his character had the cheerfulness and straightforwardness of the Hu people in the grasslands. As soon as they met, he made an unabashed promise to Xiao Siye.
As long as you work hard, show your value, and be a high-ranking official with great salary and wealth, it won't be a problem!
This is much better than hiding various hints in obscure words.
He could abandon his family, abandon the Tang Dynasty, and travel thousands of miles to join Xue Yantuo. What are they looking for?
Could it be that you, Yi Nan Khan, have the style of an ancient sage and the quality of the Holy Lords of all ages? Don't talk nonsense! People just think that when they get to Xue Yantuo, they will be better off than in the Tang Dynasty, and they will be able to gain far more than abandoning their family and the Tang Dynasty.
The benefits of the consequences!
With such a cold-hearted, selfish, and unloyal person, why should we talk about ideals and feelings instead of discussing interests with him?
Anyway, in all dynasties, there were Han people who could not survive in their own country and had to seek refuge on the grasslands. However, no matter how kind and sincere the heroes on the grasslands were, even though people were on the grasslands, their hearts were always towards the Han family. As long as they could
If there is even the slightest chance, I will return to my hometown without hesitation.
But who cares?
People on the grassland are not fools. They just use each other. As long as there is an exchange of benefits, they can have a good time drinking and talking.
Just like Xiao Siye in front of him, as long as he can bring internal news of the Tang Dynasty, or even give a strategy to retreat from the enemy, Yinan Khan will never be stingy with rewards.
As for whether this person will betray Xue Yantuo and seek refuge with others in the future, that is obviously another question...
Holding Xiao Siye's hand, surrounded by all the handsome men, Yinan Khan welcomed Xiao Siye into the tent, ordered people to place a seat next to him, asked Xiao Siye to sit down, patted Xiao Siye's hand, and sighed.
He said: "Young master has come all the way. I should have held a big banquet and summoned the chiefs of Xue Yantuo's tribe to come and pay me a visit. However, now that the Tang army is pressing down on the border, Fang Jun has already led the Youtun guards to the city. There is no telling that they will cross the mountain in the next moment."
Yan Shan appeared at the foot of Yu Dujun Mountain, the military situation is urgent, I really neglected the young master."
As he spoke, a pair of eyes stared at Xiao Siye with burning eyes.
We have already expressed your attitude, so let's see if you can show us a convincing performance and what status and rewards you are worthy of.
Xiao Siye was held by Yi Nan Khan and refused to let go, feeling extremely fed up.
The Great Khan Xue Yantuo looks majestic, but in fact his whole body exudes a strong odor, as if he has slept in a cowshed and a sheep pen for several nights...
Holding back his nausea, he naturally couldn't show even a trace of disgust and impatience at this moment. Xiao Siye raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "Fang Jun seems to be strong, but in fact he is just bluffing. There are tens of thousands of troops in the Youtun Guards, but he is only suffering from ringworm and scabies."
Well, with just a wave of your hand, you can make it disappear into ashes."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the tent had different expressions, and they all looked at Qibi Kele.
Not long ago, this famous general was here sternly preaching how powerful the Tang army was, how it could tear mountains and rocks apart, how it was raining bullets, how it was invincible and what it was unstoppable. But what happened? A high-ranking official from the Tang Dynasty came to vote and said as soon as he met him.
Fang Jun is only suffering from ringworm and scabies...
General Qibi, do you want a slap in the face?
How could Qibi Heli not feel the sarcastic or mocking glances around him?
His face suddenly turned red, he glared at Xiao Siye angrily, and said: "The firearms of the Tang Army are indestructible and unstoppable! I have personally learned that tens of thousands of elite soldiers are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered in front of the Tang Army's firearms, with no power to resist. Now Xiao Changshi said that
The Youtun Guards are suffering from ringworm and scabies, but I don’t know if they are deliberately belittling the Tang army, making the Great Khan careless, and falling into the trap of you Tang people?”
I understand your eagerness to show off when you first arrived, and I can also accept your deliberate belittling of the Tang Army's Right Guards to show your own value, but if you want to step on me and rise to the top, that's not okay!
You Tuen Guards, who is like a chicken and a dog in your mouth, beat me until I lost my helmet and armor and the whole army was destroyed. What has become of me?
Wine bag and rice bag?
This is really unreasonable!
Xiao Siye blinked and looked at the angry Qi Bikel, a little confused.
I naturally belittle Fang Jun and improve my own status. What does that have to do with you?
Who the hell are you?
However, in Xue Yantuo's tent, he, a newbie who had just arrived, had not yet made any progress, and he could not understand the internal structure of Xue Yantuo. He had to keep his tail between his legs. He did not dare to offend anyone, so he had to bow slightly and asked: "
Dare I ask if you are..."
Qibi Kele stared: "I am Qibi Kele, and I am also the guard general of Wuchuan! The Wuchuan Town I was guarding was captured in one fell swoop by the Youtun Guards who were bluffing and suffering from scabies in your mouth! Come on, come on, I
Today I want to ask you, are you alarmist or do you have ulterior motives?"
Xiao Siye sweated.
No wonder, when I called Fang Jun's bluff, he was just suffering from scabies, but in the end, this man was beaten by Fang Jun until the whole army was destroyed and he fled in embarrassment. What happened to him?
Don't blame others for being angry, don't you want to lose face?
But you can't blame him. Who would have known that your entire Wuchuan Town garrison was destroyed, and not only did your general not die, but you could still sit in the tent of Yi Nan Khan and show off your power?
I lost my teacher and lost my territory, but nothing happened at all.
Xiao Siye can be sure that this Qi Bi Ke Le must be a big shot and has a very high status...
More and more afraid to offend, he quickly said respectfully: "General Qibi has misunderstood. What I said is not to say that the firearms of the Tang Army are just what they look like. In fact, I know the power of firearms better than you. They can crack mountains, crack rocks, and cause landslides."
The earth will crack, no matter what. There is no city in the world that cannot be conquered with firearms, and there is no army on the battlefield that can compete with the Tang army equipped with firearms! Not to mention that General Qibi only has more than 20,000 soldiers and horses.
, even if there are twice or ten times more troops, the outcome will not be any different. It’s just that the Tang Army today is no longer the Tang Army when it attacked Wuchuan Town and Zhao Xincheng, it is just a tiger without teeth..."
