Chapter 749 Great Wall

Standing at the head of Fengzhou City, Changsun Wuji felt extremely bitter in his heart.

"Prince, the envoy of Ye Hu has arrived." Deputy Guardian of Zhenbei, Li Simo, Prince of Heshun, stood aside and spoke.

"knew."

Changsun Wuji did not look back. He did not want to meet the envoy of Tongye Hu Khan at this time.

"Prince, do you think the current situation is all caused by my temporary mistake? This is what is called a mistake, every step is wrong, and every step is wrong, and everything is lost?"

Li Simo, with blue eyes, yellow hair and big beard, didn't say anything. He also supported Changsun Wuji to send troops to attack Yu Sheshi on the plains. He didn't know that the situation would develop to such a level.

"Maybe I should have listened to Li Chao's words more, held the army and watched the Turks, Tiele and others fight. I was too impatient, which led to the fact that now the Tongye Hu took the opportunity to unify the grassland and I became the sinner of the Tang Dynasty."

When he said this, his face turned pale.

"Prime Minister, this was something that I could not have expected at the beginning."

"But if Li Chao was in Shuofang, it might be another situation."

"It's better to meet the envoy of Tong Ye Hu first. Maybe the situation can be saved." Li Simo persuaded, "The envoy is Ashina Nishu, the grandson of Datou, and the son of Shekui Khan. He had been on a mission to Chang'an and had become sworn brothers with Prime Minister Li. We can find out what Tong Ye Hu meant with him."

Changsun Wuji nodded. Now, this is the only way.

"Let's go."

In Fengzhou City, Ashina Nishu had been sitting for a long time.

At the camp at the foot of Daqing Mountain, he opposed the dispatch of troops to the southern expedition, but the opposition was invalid. Too many people agreed to the southern expedition. Now that the grassland is unified, his uncle, Ye Hu, was the Great Khan, and was full of energy.

Tuli was named the Second Khan, and Ye Hu also named his son Ashina Zhili as Ye Hu, and then named his uncle, Nishu's uncle Mo Hedu, the Eastern Khan.

Then Fengyushe is set to the south, Fengyu Valley is set to the north, and expand to the east, and Mud is set to the west.

Then wait for lifa, tutunfa, etc.

The hierarchy was clear, and the descendants of the Tumen Khan divided the territory.

Below the Khan of Ye Hu, Tuli, the second Khan, was considered to be the only place in Ye Hu, and then Ye Hu Zhili. He was equivalent to the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty and was considered to be the heir of the Ming Determined. Below is the Khan of the Eastern Khan Mo Hedu, who is the little Khan, who is equivalent to a prince of the enfeoffment. The following four are considered as the general manager of the four major enfeoffments.

Nishu was enthroned as the west, but it did not have much real power. It has both the general leaf protection and the ultimate power of the leaf protection.

The fact that he was sent to Fengzhou by Tongye Hu as an envoy, which also shows that he was excluded from Tongye Hu's Khan Court. Otherwise, if he was just sending a letter, he would not need one of his four great designs to come.

Sitting in the official hall, someone prepared refreshments for him.

Without adding horse milk or other things, the tea soup tastes a bit light, but it tastes unique when you taste it carefully.

"Ni Shu, I've made you wait for a long time."

A rough voice sounded, and Nishu looked up and saw the Hu-like clan member Ashinasmo appear. Seeing him, Nishu frowned, with a hint of disgust in his eyes.

Although Nishu also likes Central Plains culture and the scenic spots of Chang'an, he would never recite his own tribe like Ashinasmo, become a traitor and surrender to the Han people. In particular, he has always acted as a spy of the Khans, and at the critical moment he became a traitor and gave Yu Sheshi a fatal blow.

Yu Sheshe now wants to swallow Li Simo alive.

"Let me introduce you to you. This is the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, the Grand Governor of Shuofangdao, and the Grand Guardian of Wei. The Prime Minister, this is the great-grandson of Datou Khan, the son of Shekui Khan, and the nephew of the Tongyehu Khan, the Shinn Nishu, who was originally the special service of the Western Turkic Khan, and now it is set up to the west of the Turkic Khan."

Changsun Wuji took the initiative to open his arms and hugged Nishu.

"I heard that Nishuo had become sworn brothers with my Duke Zhao of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xiang, once?"

Nishu nodded, "Duke Zhao is a very interesting person. We fell in love with each other as soon as we saw this, and we became sworn brothers." He did not hide anything from this matter.

Both sides settled again.

Nishou did not wait for Changsun Wuji to make friends and directly took out a letter.

"Duke of Wei, this is a letter from my Khan to the Emperor of Wei and the Tang Dynasty. My Khan asked the Tang Dynasty to immediately withdraw from Hetao, Daibei and other places, and return the Turkic people. In order to ensure the friendship between the two families and avoid war, my Khan proposed that the border between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty should be bounded by the Sui Great Wall. The north of the Great Wall belongs to our Turks, and the south of the Great Wall belongs to the Tang Dynasty. Both sides use the Great Wall as the boundary, and the well water does not violate the river water, so that friendship will be guaranteed together."

These words made Changsun Wuji look ugly.

If the Great Wall is used as the boundary, the Tang Dynasty would have to give up many territory.

Half of Hexi, most of Shuofang, and Daibei in Hedong must be given out.

Here are the rich western end of the Hexi Corridor, the fertile Shuofang Hetao Plain, and the vast territory of the northern Dai area. It is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to agree to such a request.

With the Great Wall as the boundary, this is impossible.

"Who is the one who sets the mud? My Tang Dynasty and Tongye Hu Khan have always been friendly. Now Tongye Hu can unify the grassland, which is why my Tang Dynasty has helped me. I think that the two sides are now abrupt, just use the Yinshan Mountains as the boundary."

When Changsun Wuji said something, Nishu just smiled.

"Duke of Wei, my Khan is now leading 400,000 elite cavalry to hunt north of Daqingshan."

Four hundred thousand.

Changsun Wuji suspected that this number, when Daqingshan came over, it was the front plain. Tongyehu now unified the grassland, and the various tribes rushed to join him. He integrated the forces of the eastern and western Turkic areas, and there were definitely 400,000 cavalrymen. But he did not believe that he had gathered 400,000 cavalry in the north of Daqingshan.

Although the Turks did not have as high requirements for logistics food and grass as the Central Plains, they also needed to prepare food and grass. Now, they said that they were gathering 100,000 cavalry in the north of Daqingshan at this time, Changsun Wuji believed that 400,000 soldiers were piled up in one place, but he did not believe it.

There are 580,000 soldiers and horses in a battlefield, which is quite saturated. As explained in detail in Li Chao's military book, with the ability of command, communication and logistics supply in this era, more than 100,000 people can be commanded and supplied. The more soldiers, the more difficult it is.

Therefore, the more soldiers, the better. On the contrary, the more soldiers, the more chaos it is.

If the effect of 400,000 people is not separated but piled up on a battlefield, it is definitely not as good as that of 100,000 people.

But even if there were 100,000 Turkic cavalry, Changsun Wuji was not sure.

When Shuofang Dao was Li Chao, he claimed to have raised 100,000 soldiers. But in fact, the number of soldiers in the palace was only 50,000, and the number of soldiers in the militia was actually the militia. Even if it was 50,000 soldiers, it would be divided into several groups. Therefore, the people who were on duty in each place usually only had tens of thousands of soldiers.

Last time, Changsun Wuji raided Yushe and mobilized and assembled 20,000 government soldiers and 20,000 village soldiers. These soldiers are still in Fengzhou. However, Fengzhou has just been defeated and lacks city fortresses. It is difficult to fight against the Turks.

Especially in his 40,000 men, the number of cavalry was only eight thousand.

"We have always been harmonious with each other. Our Tang Dynasty also married the princess to Tongye Hu Khan, and the two families are still in-laws."

Nishu smiled.

I don’t know what happened to the princess who married the Tang Dynasty. He was just a royal family girl from the Tang Dynasty. He was not the daughter of an emperor at all. He just gave up a princess title. This matter could not deceive the Turks.

"Our Khan has married Princess Yicheng as Ke Dun!"

Princess Yicheng, Changsun Wuji's face became even more ugly when he heard this.

This Princess Yicheng has lived in the Turks for more than 20 years. She is a princess named by the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty and a daughter of the royal family of the Sui Dynasty. At first, Yang Jian married Princess Yimin Khan as Princess Anyi. As a result, Princess Anyi was not adapted to the environment and died of illness. In order to win over the Khan of Qimin, Yang Jian married Princess Yicheng again.

After that, Qimin Khan died, and Princess Yicheng followed the Turkish marriage system and then controlled his son Shibi Khan. Shibi died and married his younger brother Chuluo Khan. Chuluo died and married Jie Li Khan. After more than 20 years in the Turkic period, she married Qimin and his son and became Kedun, who had been in the Turkic period for more than 20 years.

Ke Dun is equivalent to the queen of the Central Plains.

This is also a legend.

Now, after Tongyehu unified the East and West grasslands, he became the Great Khan, he also married Princess Yicheng.

Princess Yicheng married her fifth husband and five great khans.

But this princess was a princess of the Sui Dynasty after all, just like the daughter of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who encouraged the Turkic Khan husband to attack the Sui Dynasty after Yang Jian usurped the throne.

Princess Yicheng would definitely not have any good attitude towards the Tang Dynasty that usurped the Sui Dynasty.

The rule of Ye Hu did not set the princess of the Tang Dynasty's marriage as Ke Dun, but set the Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty as Ke Dun. There was too much information revealed in this matter.

Even though he knew that things had been moving in a bad direction, Changsun Wuji still hoped to save it.

"Who is the one who sets the mud? The Tang and the Turks are both powerful countries. If the two strong fight each other, they will probably suffer losses."

Nishu picked up the tea and took a sip, "I only know that the Tang deliberately promoted the civil strife of the Turks, and then took advantage of the situation to rob the land of Hetao. Now Tong Ye Hu was the Khan and proposed the border between the two sides. If the Tang Dynasty refused, then don't blame me for going south."

"If the Tang Kingdom takes the initiative to retreat to the Great Wall, then the two families will be friendly and harmonious in the future. Otherwise, if the Tang Kingdom does not give it to me, my Khan will personally lead 400,000 cavalry to the south and take it for himself!"

"I have brought all my letters and words, say goodbye!" Nishu stood up.

"Don't hurry to leave, talk slowly."

"There is nothing to talk about. By the way, my Khan has another requirement. Asanasmo must be handed over to the Turks for disposal!"

Li Simo's face looked ugly.

If you leave it to the Turks for disposal, you will definitely be dead.

"Ni Shuai, otherwise, I will write a memorial to the court and His Majesty immediately. I will send someone to escort Ni Shuai to Xiangyang to meet my Emperor of Tang. The two countries are bounded. How can my ministers decide on such a major matter? What do you think?"

Nishu is still hesitating.

Changsun Wuji continued, "If it were Ni, who could tell my Majesty the truth in person, maybe Your Majesty would carefully consider the boundaries. If a friendly result could be achieved at that time, wouldn't the two families not be able to meet each other, wouldn't it be better?"

"Then I will send someone back to report to the Khan, and I will listen to Hou Dahan's meaning. If the Khan asks me to go to Central Plains, I don't mind."

Changsun Wuji smiled on his face.

"That's true, then Nishusai will wait for the reply here first."

Exit from the hall.

Changsun Wuji's face looked ugly, and Li Simo even more ugly.

Changsun Wuji was worried that the Turks would go south in large numbers, while Li Simo was even more worried that the Tang Dynasty and the Turks would discuss peace. Because once peace was negotiated, he might be abandoned.

"The Prime Minister, Ye Hu's appetite is too great. The Great Wall is the boundary. You must never agree to this matter!"

"I know that your Majesty and the court will not agree, but we need to delay the time."
