Chapter 624 Ashinasheer
"There is no change." Qin Huaidao said with certainty.
"It seems that there is nothing wrong with Ashinasheer." Lin Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief.
He also guessed the reason why Ashinasheer surrendered to Tang Dynasty in history, but it was in the ninth year of Zhenguan.
It has only been seven years since Zhenguan, and because of his reasons, the history has also changed slightly. Lin Xuan is not completely sure whether Ashinasheer will surrender like in history.
After all, Ashinasheer surrendered because he was forced to surrender. Although it is recorded in history books that after he surrendered, Li Shimin not only gave him high officials and titles, but also honored him as a princess. Tang Li made many contributions, and was buried with Zhaoling after his death.
You must know that the highest honor for an ancient courtier after death is to be entitled to the Taimiao and to be buried with the imperial tomb.
In this way, when future emperors offer sacrifices, they must be sacrificed together.
Ashinasheer, a foreign race, was able to be buried with Zhaoling, which shows his contribution and loyalty.
But Ashinasheer was definitely not sincere before he took refuge in Datang, or when he just took refuge in Datang.
Qin Huaidao said: "General, according to the information heard by my subordinates, both Western Turkic and Xue Yantuo sent people to secretly contact people under Ashina Sheer, and it seems that they have attracted some people, so Ashina Sheer just Will be so eager to ask to see the general."
"So that's the case, it can be explained in this way." Lin Xuan laughed.
It might be okay for other people to seek refuge in Western Turks and Xue Yantuo, but Ashinasheer can't.
And the 3 people he has now are not only the basis for him to settle down, but also the bargaining chip for him to negotiate with Datang.
It is impossible for all of these people to be loyal. After wandering with Ashinasheer for so long, there are always some people whose loyalty has been wiped out.
That's why Ashinasheer asked to meet Lin Xuan so eagerly, even threatening him.
Knowing the reason, Lin Xuan was more confident about meeting Ashinasheer.
"Huai Dao, I have to work hard for you these two days, continue to pay attention to the movement on the grassland and Ashinasheer." Lin Xuan said.
Although it is very unlikely that Ashinasheer has a problem, it is not impossible. Lin Xuan thinks it is better to be cautious.
"Yes." Qin Huaidao replied.
……
Soon came the day when Lin Xuan and Ashinasheer agreed to meet.
Judging from various intelligences, there are no other abnormalities.
What surprised Lin Xuan even more was that Ashinasheer only brought 200 people to meet him this time.
The king of Gaochang has more than 5000 soldiers from the Tang Dynasty. No matter how elite his 200 men are, once they enter the capital of Gaochang, life and death will be in Lin Xuan's hands.
"Report to General, Ashinasheer is less than ten miles away from King Gaochang." Qin Huaidao reported.
"Come on, come with me to meet him."
Lin Xuan didn't make any high profile, and he should still have the respect he deserves.
As soon as he went out, Liu Da rushed over except for the soldiers who stayed behind in the house.
Lin Xuan frowned and said, "Just bring 200 people."
Ashinasheer only brought 200 people here, if he brought more people, his momentum would be weaker than the opponent.
Going to greet him in person is to give Ashinasheer enough respect, but the momentum must not be weak, otherwise it will be detrimental to the next negotiation.
"Master Hou, in case..."
"There's nothing wrong with it. I trained you all myself. I don't think you are inferior to those elites in the grassland. Why is it that the opponent only has 200 people? Are you afraid that you can't protect me with the same number?"
Lin Xuan interrupted Liu Da before he finished speaking.
"Yes." Liu Da could only answer.
Lin Xuan took Qin Huaidao, Liu Da and other two hundred soldiers out of the city for about three miles, quietly waiting for the arrival of Ashinasheer.
Not long after, there was a slight vibration under the feet, and a group of people and horses could be seen coming quickly from a distance.
"General, they are here." Qin Huaidao said.
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Go."
Qin Huaidao bowed his hands and got on his horse, leading several people to meet him.
When the two parties met, they slowed down and stopped. Qin Huaidao stepped forward to talk to one of them, pointing to Lin Xuan from time to time.
Not long after, the person who talked to Qin Huaidao led several people away from the main force and came towards Lin Xuan.
The group of people was about 50 meters away from Lin Xuan. They reined in their horses and stopped, dismounted and came on foot.
When he got closer, Qin Huaidao pointed to one of them and said, "General, this is Dubu Khan."
The so-called Dubu Khan was actually self-proclaimed by Ashinasheer, not to mention that Tang Dynasty didn't recognize it, even the grassland, except for Ashinasheer's men, no one recognized it.
Before Lin Xuan could speak, Ashinasheer said, "The so-called Dubu Khan is just a joke, General, don't take it seriously."
Ashinasheer is 30 years old this year, and his face has the rough ore unique to the grassland people, but his eyes have the wisdom that the grassland people rarely have.
"In that case, I shall call you General Ashina."
Naturally, it was impossible for Lin Xuan to call him Khan. Qin Huaidao's introduction was also specially instructed by Lin Xuan.
Its purpose is to try and test Ashnasheer.
Now Ashinasheer directly denies his title, which makes Lin Xuan very satisfied.
"It's so good." Ashinasheer said with a smile.
Lin Xuan had a higher opinion of Ashinasheer. If he hadn't known that Ashinasheer was a Turk, Lin Xuan would have thought that Ashinasheer was a Han Chinese just by listening to his tone and posture.
It can be seen that Ashinasheer has been studying Han culture all the time.
"This is not a place to talk. I have already prepared a banquet, General Ashina, please." Lin Xuan laughed.
"Please, General."
Lin Xuan was not polite, he got on his horse first, and only after Ashinasheer got on his horse did he go to Gaochang King's Capital.
When they came to the house arranged by Wu Junxi, Ashinasheer only brought one person in with Lin Xuan, and the rest stayed outside.
Lin Xuan was full of admiration for Ashinasheer in his heart. Although Ashinasheer entered the city, life and death were in his hands, and it didn't matter how many people he brought in, but he knew it was the same thing, could he Doing it is another matter.
Lin Xuan ordered people to arrange these personal soldiers, and then led Ashinasheer into the hall.
For this banquet, Lin Xuan did not invite anyone else, including Wu Junxi, only him, Ashinasheer, and Qin Huaidao as companions.
"I offer a toast to General Ashina." After the maid poured the wine, Lin Xuan picked up the glass and said.
"Don't dare, I should be the one who respects the general." Ashinasheer raised his glass and said.
After drinking a glass of wine, Ashinasheer said with a smile: "The Immortal Zuiwo had the honor to drink a few times, but it was too little, and I couldn't enjoy myself to the fullest. This time, I can enjoy myself to the fullest after being honored by the great general."
"I believe that as long as General Ashina is willing, drinking every day will not be a problem." Lin Xuan said pointedly.
Ashinasheer smiled and said, "If I can drink such fine wine all the time, I will naturally be willing."
"Haha." The two looked at each other and smiled.
