I can sign in in Datang

Chapter 661

Chapter 661

Lin Xuan looked at Qin Huaidao and said, "Huaidao, contact Ashinasheer immediately and ask him to attack the Western Turks in seven days."

Now many tribes don't want to continue fighting, but the strength of the Western Turks has not lost much. If they don't give some hope to those tribes at this time, I am afraid that some people will surrender soon.

"Yes." Qin Huaidao replied.

After Cheng Chumo left, Lin Xuan thought about it, wrote down the situation in the grassland in detail, and sent someone to Chang'an.

On the second day, Yi Nan sent someone to invite Lin Xuan over.

Lin Xuan guessed that Yi Nan had made a decision. After seeing Yi Nan, as expected, Yi Nan agreed to hold back the Western Turks, but asked Lin Xuan to send troops together.

"The Great Tang sent troops to sneak attack the Western Turks' rear, and now the Great Khan is asking the Great Tang to send troops together, doesn't the Great Khan feel that the price he offered is too little?" Lin Xuan said lightly.

He is not so stupid to be Xue Yantuo's spearman, his 1 people are all elites, how could he sacrifice in vain here.

"Chairman, Ben Khan almost gave Datang half of Xue Yantuo's cattle, sheep and horses, and Datang is still not satisfied?" A gloomy look flashed across Yi Nan's face.

Although only part of it was given, the cattle, sheep and horses were all bought by him, which already caused him a lot of pain.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xuan wanted to cut flesh from him.

If Lin Xuan knew what Yi Nan was thinking, he would definitely feel wronged. He didn't mean to raise the price on the ground at all, but he really didn't want to send troops.

Originally, he was just thinking about reaping the benefits of being a fisherman. If Xue Yantuo was not too useless and was beaten by the Western Turks, he would not want to use Ashinasheer's hole card at all.

In order to prevent Xue Yantuo from perishing so quickly, Lin Xuan would rather expose Ashinasheer's hole card than let the Tang soldiers go out.

From Lin Xuan's point of view, although Ashinasheer has joined Datang, he is still a foreigner.

Ashinasheer didn't care how much he would lose if he attacked the Western Turks' rear.

Mercy does not control soldiers, and justice does not control wealth.

Lin Xuan was not so naive as to deal with Xitujue and Xue Yantuo without bloodshed. He also understood that many of these soldiers would eventually bury their bones in the grassland.

For the sake of confidentiality, only a few people such as Lin Xuan and Cheng Chumo knew the purpose of this expedition. The explanation for ordinary soldiers was to strengthen border protection.

And this time when they went deep into the grassland, those soldiers also thought that they really came to help Xue Yantuo.

Han people and Turkic people have countless hatreds, and these soldiers instinctively reject and help Xue Yantuo.

But the military order was hard to violate, so they had to come.

If they died in battle on the grassland, they would definitely be filled with unwillingness.

Lin Xuan wanted to wait until Datang actually launched an attack on the grassland. He told these soldiers loudly that they were fighting to calm down the grassland and for the peace of the Tang Dynasty.

In this way, even if they die in battle, at least they will not feel unwilling.

Yi Nan didn't know Lin Xuan's thoughts, he couldn't produce cattle, sheep and horses now, and he couldn't tear himself apart with Datang, so he could only endure it.

"I hope Datang will really send troops to attack the rear of the Western Turks. If Datang dares to play Ben Khan, Ben Khan will lead the tribe to surrender. Presumably Datang will not want the Western Turks to dominate the grassland." Yi Nan said bitterly.

Lin Xuan didn't take Yi Nan's threat to heart at all. Anyone could surrender, except Yi Nan.

It is impossible for Nishu to leave such a big hidden danger in Yi Nan.

How many of the princes and kings who surrendered to the throne of Zen in history ended well?

The Central Plains dynasty was deeply influenced by Confucianism. When dealing with those who surrendered, they must pay attention to the influence. Even if they want to kill them, they will stay for a while until the influence is minimized before doing it.

But the grassland pays attention to the respect of the strong. If Yinan surrenders, Nishu will kill him immediately. Not only will this not cause turmoil, but the herdsmen who surrender will feel awe.

This is the difference between the two cultures.

Yi Nan must know the result of his surrender, so even if Xue Yantuo is destroyed, he will only run away instead of surrendering.

Everything is done in moderation, and now Xue Yantuo is still needed to consume the strength of the Western Turks. Lin Xuan didn't want to tear up his face with Yi Nan, so he didn't say much about this issue, and said: "Don't worry, the Tang Dynasty is not willing to rule the grasslands of the Western Turks. Naturally, I will not deceive Big Khan on this."

Yi Nan nodded, which is also the reason why he was willing to trust Lin Xuan and choose to hold back the Western Turks.

"I don't know when the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty will be able to sneak attack the rear of the Western Turks?" Yi Nan asked.

"I'll send a letter back immediately, and within five days at the most, the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty will attack the tribes of the Western Turks." Lin Xuan said.

He didn't really want to help Xue Yantuo, so naturally he wouldn't tell Yi Nan the truth. In fact, he asked Ashinasheer to launch a surprise attack seven days later.

At this moment, a big sweat came in, bowed to Yi Nan, and came to Yi Nan and whispered something.

After hearing this, Yi Nan frowned slightly, and after sending the big man down, he said, "In this case, Ben Khan will gather troops and horses to hold back the Western Turks."

What the big Khan said just now was that not only did the Western Turks not intend to retreat, but they were gathering troops and might launch an attack at any time.

Yi Nan thought that after the Tang Dynasty sent troops, even if the Western Turks did not retreat, they would wait and see, but they didn't expect Nishu to prepare to continue attacking so soon.

Now it is no longer a question of whether he will fight or not, so he can only pin his hopes on Datang.

"Don't worry, Khan, I'll take my leave first, and I'll go back and send a letter." Lin Xuan said.

He expected yesterday that Yi Nan would agree, otherwise he would not have sent Qin Huaidao to inform Ashinasheer.

It just so happened that the letter he wrote last night hadn't been sent out yet, and now it could just be used as a pretense.

……

After Lin Xuan led [-] cavalry into the grassland, when Nishu got the news, he immediately sent someone to Chang'an to inform his Lao Batel.

Qilaobateer immediately applied to the officials of Honglu Temple to see Li Shimin.

After Li Shimin received the news, he summoned Qiba Teer.

Seeing Li Shimin, Qilaobatar asked angrily after paying the salute: "May I ask His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty? He clearly promised his ministers that he would not send troops to help Xue Yantuo before he had considered it carefully. Why did the soldiers and horses of the Datang Into the grassland?"

"Presumptuous, a mere messenger dares to talk to His Majesty like this." Li Mu scolded.

Qi Lao Battelle originally thought that he had delayed Datang and completed the task assigned by Nishu, and fantasized that he would become a leader after returning, but he didn't expect to be deceived by Li Shimin, so he was dizzy with anger.

Li Mu's reprimand brought him back to his senses, and a trace of cold sweat flowed from his back.

Now he is in Datang. Although he said that the two countries are not fighting, if Li Shimin really killed him in anger, then he would have no place to cry.

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty made atonement, and the foreign minister just said that unintentionally." Qilaobateer said hastily.

Li Shimin said with a gloomy face: "If you don't understand the rules of the Tang Dynasty, I can ask the Ministry of Rites to arrange someone to teach you again. If you do this again next time, don't blame me for being rude."
