Qibinkele also realized that what he asked was not appropriate. He must have had his own plans in mind, so how could he know about it?
He hurriedly said: "Xue Yantuo was seriously injured in the battle of Zhao Xincheng. Although it is difficult to completely destroy the Xueyantuo Khanate, it will make it difficult to maintain the rule of Mobei. It is certain that the entire Mobei will fall apart. The Tiele tribes are in charge of their own affairs, and the Tang army
It must be a big headache. After all, Mobei is a vast territory. If we go to wipe out each tribe one by one, we must have hundreds of thousands of troops, otherwise it will be difficult to be effective. I also ask the commander to advise the emperor that the Qibi tribe is willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.
, I am willing to be the pioneer of the Tang Dynasty and to stabilize Mobei for the Tang Dynasty, and I will spare no effort!"
Fang Jun looked calm and smiled in his heart.
This is a smart man.
Smart people know how to weigh gains and losses and assess situations. It is easiest to deal with such people.
He looked at Qibi Kele and said slowly: "It is really rare for General Qibi to have a heart for the Tang Dynasty. Later, in a battle report to His Majesty, someone will advise the establishment of the Anbei Protectorate in Mobei.
Each tribe set up Jibi Prefecture and managed its own tribesmen. General Qibi presented the Yinan Khan in front of the army, which was a great achievement. I will also petition Your Majesty to confer General Qibi the post of Deputy Protector of the Anbei Protectorate.
Reward the general for his merits."
Qibi Kele: "...!"
He was so angry that he almost started shooting!
What does it mean for me to "present the Yinan Khan in front of the army"?
It was clear that Yi Nan Khan was captured by your Tang army after he was severely injured and unable to escape. If your statement spreads, wouldn't you become a traitor who betrays his friends for glory?
Although he did have such an intention in his behavior, at best he was just pushing the boat along, and he was by no means willing to do so!
Do I still want to hang out on the grassland?
You must not take this blame, otherwise all the tribes of Tiele will regard him as a traitor seeking glory. His reputation will be completely ruined, and everyone will be punished for taking advantage of him!
He quickly defended: "The commander-in-chief made a mistake. The Yinan Khan was seriously injured and could not bear the jolting of the horse. That's why he was willing to be captured with me by his side."
Fang Jun still had a smile on his face and said softly: "So, the general didn't surrender on his own initiative, but actually lost the battle and became a prisoner as a last resort?"
Qibi Kele: "..."
Mother!
Why is this guy so cunning?
There are traps hidden in every word, making it difficult for you to guard against. Can the treatment be the same if you surrender actively and if you are captured by fighting? The former can allow Datang to be used as a model for propaganda on the grassland, which can be used to disintegrate the unity of Tiele tribes.
The latter, on the other hand, resisted to the end and were captured after exhaustion, and could even be beheaded on the spot!
What should we do now?
Although he admitted that he personally dedicated Yi Nan Khan to the Tang army, he was treated favorably by the Tang army, but his reputation was so bad on the grassland, how could he convince the public in the future? If he did not admit it, he would be a real prisoner.
What kind of treatment there will be, only God knows...
Qibi Kele almost burst into tears because he would never bully others like this!
We just want to surrender honestly, and then get the support of the Tang Dynasty to rule in Mobei instead of the Tang Dynasty. Why is it so difficult?
Qibi Kele was sweating profusely, and finally realized that the Tang Army coach in front of him, who was too young, was not that easy to fool. If you don't come up with something practical, people may not be willing to give you a favor.
As for Yinan Khan?
It's just a matter of course. With or without you, it's the same...
"Commander Fang, the Tang army is brave and good at fighting and is the strongest army in the world. However, the terrain in Mobei is complicated and the climate is very cold. The Qibi tribe is willing to be the vanguard to assist the Tang army in wiping out the Tiele tribes that refused to surrender in Mobei and clearing out Mobei.
It makes hundreds of thousands of Hu people admire the glory of Tian Khan!"
"Oh? Very good! General Qibi really loves the Tang Dynasty and understands the great righteousness! I have heard that the general has a son named Tiger. As his name suggests, he is a rare tiger general. The general can give the command of the tribe's soldiers.
Your Majesty, you will personally escort the Yinan Khan to Chang'an. On the one hand, you can admire Tianyan, and on the other hand, you can fulfill your reputation of being a loyal protector. I wonder if the general thinks so?"
Qibi Kele's breath was stuck in his chest, he couldn't breathe and couldn't swallow. It was so uncomfortable...
Isn’t this girl under house arrest in disguise?
But at least he has accepted the fact that he surrendered, and given a "loyal protector" cover, so that he will not be infamous for thousands of years, and will be reviled by the descendants of Tiele tribes for thousands of years...
He had no choice but to nod his head and said: "Admiral Fang has thought it through. I will send a letter to Quan Zi and ask him to lead the soldiers of the clan to help cooperate with the Admiral."
Fang Jun smiled and clapped his hands and praised: "That's very good! General, don't worry, after the battle report, I will have a few good words for the general..."
Qibi Kele thought that the marshal had finally found his way, so he expressed gratitude: "Thank you so much for your support, marshal! I will ask Gouzi to prepare a generous gift to repay the marshal for his recommendation."
Fang Jun said: "General, what you said is obvious. Duke Liang is a valiant general in the court. Although he comes from a foreign race, he is trusted and respected by your majesty. I have always admired him, but I have never met him, so I can't help but regret it.
In my heart, I am very kind to the Qibi tribe. I have never regarded them as foreigners and aliens. Today, General Qibi is willing to imitate the Duke of Liang in abandoning the dark side and turning to the bright side. I should do my best to help. How can I try to express gratitude and make the world laugh at me?
If you are serious, you might as well collect some rare treasures and present them to Your Majesty after you go to Chang'an to show the general's loyalty and surrender."
Qibi Kele breathed a sigh of relief. This man did not like money after all. However, considering that the commander-in-chief was said to be one of the richest men in the Tang Dynasty, he must have looked down upon him.
But no matter what, people who are not greedy for money or afraid of death will always be admired.
As we talked, the atmosphere became more and more pleasant.
"...Commander, the general was incompetent and caused Xiao Siye to die in front of him, but he was unable to rescue him in time. I deeply regret it!"
When it comes to Xiao Siye, Qibukele has to mention it and explain it.
There were many soldiers present at that time. If word spread later that he had not rescued Xiao Siye and he was killed by Yimang on the spot, it would inevitably become a stain on himself and make the people of the Tang Dynasty become suspicious of him. It would be more than worth the loss.
As a child of a noble family, he is willing to become a "dead person". What kind of fearless spirit is this?
Such a person would definitely be respected by everyone in the Tang Dynasty. Being implicated in Xiao Siye's death would inevitably make him feel ashamed...
"Um?"
Fang Jun was a little puzzled.
Xiao Siye is a traitor, and he will die if he dies. Even if he falls into his own hands, it will be worse than death. Why do you have to explain it specially? Is it possible that he is afraid that he will be angry with him for not capturing Xiao Siye alive?
Not so much...
Qibi Kele misunderstood Fang Jun's "hmm" as being dissatisfied, and quickly said: "At that time, Yinan Khan realized that he had been deceived by Xiao Siye, causing all the more than 100,000 troops to fall into the trap of the Tang army, so he became angry and angry.
I wanted to kill him, but I tried my best to save him, but the eldest prince Yimang on the side suddenly killed him, causing Xiao Siye to die on the spot. There was nothing I could do! I knew that Xiao Siye was the marshal's in-law, and from his family
As a disciple, he is willing to become a 'dead person', and he is actually an immortal hero. It is amazing and amazing..."
Fang Jun looked confused.
Death time?
hero?
What's going on?
Although I firmly believed that Xiao Siye would definitely seduce Yi Nan Khan to conquer Zhao Xincheng, and he also thought that with his cunning character, he would seek ways to protect himself in advance. However, the battlefield was changing rapidly, and it was reasonable that he could not save his life. After all, it resulted in
Xue Yantuo lost his troops and lost his generals. How could Yinan Khan let him, the instigator, go?
But "dead time"...where do we start talking about this?
Te Niang is clearly a traitor!
Qibukele had been paying attention to Fang Jun's expression, fearing that Fang Jun would be angry with him because of Xiao Siye's death. Now seeing Fang Jun's confused expression, he couldn't help but secretly wonder: Could there be a reason for this?
Fang Jun asked again about Xiao Siye's behavior after arriving at Xue Yantuo's tent. Naturally, Qibi Kele would not hide anything and made it clear. When he heard that Xiao Siye went to look for Qibi, how could he protect himself?
When Fang Jun nodded slightly, it was indeed the case. Although Qibi Heli became a prisoner and was placed under house arrest by Yinan Khan, because of the existence of Qibi Kele and the Qibi tribe, even Yinan Khan
You don't dare to kill him, but you try your best to win over him, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the Qibi Department. It is really smart to ask him to save your life.
The two exchanged opinions with each other, and the truth of the matter naturally became clear.
Qibi Kele stared: "He is actually an out-and-out traitor? Fortunately, I thought he was a 'dead person', how respectful he is!"
Fang Jun also sighed: "What a talent! If I hadn't kept a back-up, I might have been plotted by Xiao Siye. With this man's resourcefulness, he is like a fish in water in Xue Yantuo. I don't know how much trouble he can cause to the Tang Dynasty!"
It's just that fate is like this. In the end, Xiao Siye may not be able to escape the reputation of a "traitor", and future generations will also have to bear the infamy...
