Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 431
Facing the seemingly dumb association rate, Li Shan said with a smile: "Don't you want brother rate to return to Wuyuan County alive?"

The young man in front of him was still gentle and refined, with a gentle smile on his face, but a chill gushed out from the depths of his heart, making him shiver uncontrollably.

For ten days, Mayi talked about everything, made a covenant, drank and talked, and even cooked for the other party himself, but last night's shiny long knife, the long lance like a poisonous dragon, and the sweeping iron tools made the association How can the rate not be frightened.

Although he was only in his early twenties, as the youngest son of Shibi Khan, his association rate did not lack battle experience. What he was afraid of was the incomprehensible temperament of the man in front of him...he was killed with a single knife, and there was still a smile on his face.

Li Shan asked someone to fetch the quilt and spread it on the floor, took all the guards out, sat down slowly, and said softly: "Whether to kill you or brother Momo, it was difficult to decide."

"But there are many tribes under Brother Momo's command, and Brother Li is the younger brother of Tuli Khan. It's a pity...Although it was like old friends at first sight, even though it was like old friends, he still took Brother Momo's head."

The body of the association shrank back. He clearly remembered that both he and Yu Sheshe were kicked down not far from the camp gate. Liu Shirang looked back and forth for a long time, and finally dragged Yu Sheshe's feet and dragged all the way. to the gate of the camp.

Then, the association rate witnessed with his own eyes that first Liu Shirang chopped off with a knife, and then Yuan Junzhang chopped off Yu Sheshe's head and knelt down to offer it.

Waking up from sleep, being knocked down by Liu Shirang, and then thousands of horses galloping, the lights were brightly lit, and finally saw with his own eyes, Yuan Junzhang knelt down and was appeased by the Tang envoy... the association rate couldn't believe what he had experienced.

Li Shan observed the expression of the association rate curiously, and asked with a smile: "Don't you want to kill someone for revenge?"

The body of the association rate shrank back again.

"I'll give you this chance." Li Shan shook his head, "I'm really not going to kill you, I'm really letting you go."

"Five hundred Turks, 32 people who can ride horses and hold knives, each prepare two horses and dry food and water, change people without changing horses, within two days, they should be able to reach Wuyuan County, right?"

The association rate nodded silently.

Li Shan moved forward, "I know why I let you go back?"

Without waiting for any reaction from the association rate, Li Shan continued: "Brother rate, did you forget?"

"You and I have made a covenant, if there is no lead brother, how will Tuli Khan know?"

"Such a major event must be approved by Tuli Khan."

The rate of association is blank... Do you still want to form an alliance with us?
Then why do you want to raid the camp at night?
Why do you want to kill Yu Sheshe?
On the other hand, you beheaded Yu Sheshe and forced Yuan Junzhang's entire army to surrender to Tang, yet you still want to form an alliance with us?
Li Shan sighed, if Yu She was set up here, he would have reacted quickly, maybe he would have to negotiate terms with himself, and the association rate in front of him... seems a bit silly.

Well, I have to break things up and tell him clearly.

Li Shan said patiently: "I heard Brother Momo mentioned it before, and Brother Li also mentioned it... Brother Momo is the youngest son of Chuluo Khan. the most?"

The association rate nodded foolishly, that's true.

"Among the Ashina royal family, how many people in the tribe in hand have a larger population than Brother Momo?"

The association rate hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Jieli Khan, Tuli Khan."

"That is to say, brother Momo is a key person who can influence the balance of the situation." Li Shan analyzed the situation for the association rate very patiently, "If brother Momo joins Jieli Khan, I am afraid that Tuli Khan will have already died." Hard to fight."

"Now Brother Mo Mo was beheaded by Yuan Junzhang, what about the tribe he left behind?"

The expression of the association rate changed drastically, "This... this..."

"Brother Momo was attached to Tuli Khan before, but the latter could only barely compete with Jieli Khan, and fell into a disadvantage." Li Shan sighed: "If the population of the tribe left by Brother Momo is annexed by Jieli Khan, Natuli Khan..."

The association rate fully understood this time, and indeed, if Jieli Khan annexed the tribe left by Yu Sheshe, the power would completely overwhelm Tuli Khan.

Li Shan said sincerely: "Li Tang never wants to see a unified Turkic order. If Tuli Khan is willing to be driven by Jieli Khan... then he can only sigh in vain."

"But, I'm afraid Tuli Khan is not willing to stick out his neck?"

"I remember that Osheshe, the eldest son of Chuluo Khan, failed to inherit the Khan throne. After Jieli Khan came to power, Osheshe died suddenly..."

The smile on Li Shan's face grew wider, "Now you know what to do when you go back?"

The leader of the association gritted his teeth, "Hurry back to Wuyuan County as soon as possible, and inform my brother that Yu Sheshe is dead... Gather Yu Sheshe's remaining troops as soon as possible..."

"Good boy." Li Shan clapped his hands with a smile.

The eldest and the second fought, but the third died... Although Yu Sheshe died in the hands of Tang Jun, the legacy he left was very important, and it was impossible for Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan not to dispute.

Although Tuli Khan may gather the tribe in the name of Yu She's revenge, Li Shan doesn't think that this Khan who voted for Tang Dynasty in history will come to attack Yanmen Pass... On the contrary, he is likely to drag Jie Li Ke Khan's hind legs.

"The horses, dry food, and clean water are all ready." Li Shan tilted his head and thought for a while, then added: "I made an alliance with brother Momo before, don't forget, brother lead."

The rate of association suddenly remembered that during the two days of discussing the alliance, especially the details of Daizhou and Shuozhou, Li Shan stopped himself from getting drunk several times, and asked himself very patiently again and again if he remembered... At that time, he Make up your mind!

"Don't worry, honesty is the first priority!" Li Shan patted his chest and said shamelessly: "For example, losing Mayi grain and grass... will never delay!"

The face of the association rate froze...do you still want face? !
"If Tuli Khan is interested, he can send envoys to go to Yanmen Pass with the caravan." Li Shan stood up with his hands on the quilt, "By the way, be careful on the way back, don't bump into Yugushe."

A quarter of an hour later, watching the 33 riders disappear into the snow, Li Shan thought in his heart that he was always kind to others, but he did not expect to be very good at attracting hatred. The Ashina royal family alone had desires and associations to lead two enemies It's over... I can't fall into the hands of the Turks in the future, no matter which side it is, I will definitely be hacked into pieces.

However, Li Shan is very confident about the association rate for this trip.

After Yu Sheshe died, how could Tuli Khan let go of this big piece of fat and let Jieli Khan annex the tribe to grow his power?

It's just that I don't know how much benefit Tuli Khan, who got the news first, can reap?
And what kind of response will Jieli Khan have... Or just fight, anyway, Li Shan is willing to see whoever dies.

In the past few decades, the Turkic royal family's infighting has been more tragic than that of the princes of the Sui and Tang dynasties. One bad thing is the continuous war.

Regarding the alliance, in history, Tuli Khan chose to form an alliance with Li Tang, which was determined by political factors. The death of Yu Sheshe would not affect Tuli Khan's choice... because he had no other choice.

Moreover, even if the covenant fails, Tuli Khan is short-sighted, the two sides are enemies, or even Tuli Khan joins Jieli Khan to commit a crime...it is impossible for him to be punished.

You must know that Li Shan had tried several times in Mayi before, and he was sure that Tuli Khan did not form an alliance with Li Tang... Since there was no alliance, he beheaded the descendants of the Ashina royal family and forced Yuan Junzhang to vote for Mayi. Is it a sin?
Who in his head would impeach himself for killing the children of the Turkic royal family?

After thinking for a long time in his heart, Li Shan rubbed the center of his brows, turned around and said, "It's been more than two hours, let's go."

He chose to leave Mayi before dawn, and chose to stay here because of the rate of association... But now, he needs to hurry up, and Li Shanzhen is afraid that Yugushe will suddenly come out.

At this moment, in Yunzhou, Yugu She was gnashing his teeth and looking towards the south. Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, Li Shan was appointed as the acting county magistrate half a year ago, and was sent to Mayi to appease Yuan Junzhang!
Kicking off the belly of the horse with both legs, Yugu set up his horse and headed south, with thousands of cavalry behind him. Even in the cold winter, Jieli Khan's identity as the only son was enough to lead thousands of cavalry into battle.

Li Shan, I will cut you into pieces!
