Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 509
Outside Chengtian Gate.

A foreigner bowed respectfully to Princess Pingyang, "I've heard of His Highness's name for a long time, and I don't let my eyebrows down on my heroism."

Princess Pingyang returned a salute, turned her body sideways, extended her hand and said, "Your Majesty summoned you."

All Turkic envoys are often arrogant and domineering, but this envoy is full of smiles, humble and polite, which surprised the palace officials and officials who came and went.

In Liangyi Hall, Li Yuan put down an official document, looked at the Turkic envoy who entered the hall, and said with a smile, "Long time no see Simo."

"Foreign minister Ashina Simo pays homage to Emperor Tang." The Turkic envoy responded, "The last time I was in Jinyang, Taiyuan."

"That's right." Li Yuan sighed, "It has been ten years since Simo was dispatched by Shibi Khan to drive two thousand good horses to help him. Now that the two countries are attacking, there is no longer any friendship. It is a pity. "

Standing behind Princess Pingyang, Li Shan couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth. Li Yuan was quite good at talking nonsense, and it was a pity that he was still in love with him in the past!

Li Shan once chatted with Liu Shirang and Yuan Junzhang. Among the previous three Turkic leaders, Shibi Khan was the most accomplished and ambitious.

Naturally, Ashina Simo came here for the purpose of setting up the valley. In fact, he arrived in Chang'an earlier than Li Shan, but he was not summoned until today.

Ashina Simo followed Li Yuan's tone and chatted about the past events without mentioning the business at the first time. During the reign of Shibi Khan and Chuluo Khan, he sent envoys to the Sui and Tang Dynasties. He was No.1 Xuan, who had been acquainted with Li Yuan since his early years.

Jieli Khan sent this person to the Tang Dynasty, naturally considering his personal relationship with Tang Emperor Li Yuan.

Regarding this Ashina Simo, Li Shan heard about it from Princess Pingyang when Li Yuan summoned him to the palace this morning. This person is not an ordinary person either.

During Kaihuang's reign, Pei Shiju disturbed Mobei, Qimin Khan defected to the Sui Dynasty, and all the ministries in Mobei supported Ashina Simo as Khan, but Qimin Khan later acted in the return of the king...

For this reason, although Shibi Khan and Chuluo Khan attached great importance to Ashina Simo, they never gave him military power, and he has not set up a tooth tent so far.

In the original sky, this Ashina Simo was once canonized by Li Yuan and Li Shimin as the king of the county.

Thinking of these things, Li Shan glanced around in the hall. Except for the crown prince, King Qin, and King Qi, none of the three high-ranking officials were present... Uh, the main thing is that Pei Shiju, the servant of the door, also Now, after all, it is about foreign affairs, and Li Yuan wants to consult Pei Shiju.

Seemingly aware of something, Pei Shiju, with white beard and hair, turned his head quietly, and his eyes met Li Shan's.

Li Shan grinned, and the smile was mixed with infinite meaning.

At this time, Li Yuan smiled and said: "The old customs of the grassland tribes, redeeming people, naturally..."

Ashina Simo got up and saluted, and said respectfully: "Khan is willing to donate a thousand horses and five hundred cattle, and I hope His Majesty will allow it."

Thousands of good horses, five hundred cattle for replacement... Li Yuan frowned slightly, feeling dissatisfied.

If it was last year, to be precise, it was before the establishment of Xia City in Daizhou, and before the implementation of Ma Yin, there were only a thousand good horses, and Li Yuan felt that he had made a lot of money!
But since Li Shan set up Xia City in September last year and reopened the trade route, more than [-] horses have been sent to the Longxi Racecourse. The imported horses exceeded [-], not counting the horses traded by the people.

In a word, it is not enough, you have to add more money!
Li Yuan groaned, and glanced out of the corner of his eye... It's time for you to play!

"The Valley of Desire was set up to slaughter wantonly outside the Yanmen Pass, and the corpses were scattered all over the field. There are only a thousand good horses and five hundred cattle. How can they atone for their sins?!"

Hearing such resolute words, Ashina Simo turned his head and saw a slender young man walking out from behind Princess Pingyang, with high spirits and lightning-like eyes.

"In the battlefield, life and death are life and death, wantonly killing civilians, this crime is unforgivable!"

"Your Majesty, behead the valley of desire!"

Ashina Simo looked left and right, and was not sure of the other party's identity for a while, the young man in front of him was only twenty years old, and he spoke rashly, and the Tang emperor did not reprimand him, is he a child of the clan?
But King Qin and King Qi are already here, could it be the King of Huaiyang, or the governor of Bingzhou Ren Chengwang?
"Don't be rude." Li Shimin tossed a sentence lightly, "Jieli Khan has this son alone. If he doesn't release it, the Khan will use up his army in the future..."

Li Shan turned around like a whirlwind, stared at Ashina Simo's eyes, and said sharply: "Then please go ahead!"

"I want to see how much better Jieli Khan is than his son!"

Ashina Simo's heart skipped a beat, he guessed who the person in front of him was, it must be Li Shan and Li Huairen who are now in charge of Daizhou.

Now the name Li Shan is very famous in Wuyuan County. It is just a trivial matter to plan a business route and move the people to weaken the enemy. As a result, the two Khans turned from secret fighting to open fighting.

The most important thing is that Li Shan captured Yugushe alive twice. If the previous time was luck, but in the first battle of Yanmen, Li Shan personally went out of the fortress and chased him overnight... Yugushe's reputation was ruined.

Now Tuli Khan often uses this matter to mock Yugushe's incompetence, and Jieli Khan also uses Yu Sheshe's death to retort... As a result, Li Shan's name is in Wuyuan County, which is unknown to everyone. People don't know.

Ashina Simo saluted, "Is the Duke of Guantao under your feet?"

"Exactly." Li Shan said proudly: "You can tell Xie Li that someone is waiting for him in Daizhou!"

Ashina Simo has long been a fan of Sinology. He has been in and out of Hedong and Guannei for many years, and has seen countless people, and he can't help but win one of them.

Li Shan held his head up, but he was muttering in his heart, if he operated well... When Jieli Khan raised his army to attack, he would bump into Li Jing, who should be ranked in the top ten in the past 5000 years.

After a moment of silence, Ashina Simo saluted again, "Please speak clearly."

Now that the situation is here, since you want to be ripped off, let's make a condition.

Li Shan raised the hammer high, and turned his head to look at Li Yuan's expression, "Sibi Khan and my emperor had a good relationship back then, but it's a pity that Luo Khan ruined the friendship between the two countries. Why?"

Ashina Simo was baffled.

Li Shan sighed: "It's nothing more than the fact that Yicheng of the previous dynasty was in the middle to sow discord, and he also welcomed the son of Empress Xiao and King Qi of the previous dynasty. If you can send these three back..."

Ashina Simo swallowed, he didn't expect that the other party would not want horses, cattle, gold, silver and jewels, and would propose such a condition.

The former Sui Princess Yicheng's status in Wuyuan County may not be very high, but it is the most appropriate reason for the Turks to intervene in the Central Plains. Chu Luo Khan welcomed Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao, the son of Qi Wang Yang Hao, from Dou Jiande, which is the restoration of fighting Sui Ye's name.

Even the warlords Yuan Junzhang, Liang Shidu, and Gao Kaidao existed in these names, and Liang Shidu was still the man who was conferred the title of Sui King Yang Zhengdao, although it was only in name.

Without even thinking about it, Ashina Simo flatly refused... Jieli Khan may not agree to this condition, after all, he is getting back his only son, but if he really agrees, Tuli Khan will There is a justifiable excuse to attack.

At that time, this blame must be carried by oneself.
