Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2207 Tuyuhun Rebellion
Tuyuhun King City.

Turkic envoys hurried to Tuyuhun King City.

At this time, the king of Tuyuhun was called Turati, but he was only in his twenties.

However, regardless of his young age, he has been learning to govern the country from the old king for several years, and in the past few years, he can be said to have made remarkable achievements.

Therefore, after he ascended the throne, he was very well recognized by the people of the Tuyuhun country.

And he is a very ambitious person.

He has always been displeased with their Tuyuhun bowing their heads to the Tang Dynasty, and he does not want to be a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.

With the opening of the Silk Road, his business in Tuyuhun can be said to be deeply affected. When there was no Silk Road before, most countries in the Western Regions had some trade with Tuyuhun.

But after the opening of the Silk Road, the trade between the countries in the Western Regions and Tuyuhun decreased a lot.

They are having a hard time.

Xiliang cut off his money, this is the most unbearable.

And at this time, the Turkic envoys came.

"Your Majesty, the Turkic envoys are asking to see you."

"Turkic envoy?" Turati was a little surprised, because Tuyuhun and Turkic were separated by a Tang Dynasty, so they never had any contact.

At this time, the Turks sent envoys, why?
"Your Majesty, I heard that Xiliang is going to use troops against the Turks. Now that Xiliang's strength has increased greatly, the Turks are probably no match. In all likelihood, they are here to seek help."

Hearing this, Turati's expression moved slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Let that Turkic envoy come in."

Not long after Turati's order was given, someone led the Turkic envoys into the hall.

Turati glanced at the Turkic envoy and asked, "Your Turkic Khan asked you to come to Tuyuhun, why?"

The Turkic envoy said: "I, Your Majesty Khan, want me to send a big gift to His Majesty the King."

As he said that, he handed over the gift list. After Turati saw the gift list, his eyes moved slightly. The gift list was very large. He glanced at the Turkic envoy again and said, "You don't get paid for nothing. , the gift from Turkic is too big, so what do you want?"

The Turkic envoy smiled: "This gift is not too big. I, Turkic, are now in danger of being wiped out by Xiliang. If Tuyuhun can help me Turkic to tide over this crisis, His Majesty the Khan promises that I will give more gifts." Li, will never let Tuyuhun suffer."

"So it's because of this, but do you know that although Xiliang is Xiliang, it is also Datang. If you offend Datang, do you think I, Tuyuhun, can have a good life?"

Being said in this way, the Turkic envoy did not flinch, he was very calm, and said: "The Tang Dynasty is indeed very powerful, and we cannot shake it, but I am afraid that Li Shimin will not allow a king with a different surname to be so powerful. They want to weaken Xiliang's strength, so even if we do something, we won't be targeted by Datang, not to mention, it's not easy for Datang to destroy us."

Speaking of this, the Turkic envoy hesitated for a moment, and then continued to speak: "Let's put it this way, the Tang Dynasty's wolf ambition has long intended to annex the surrounding countries, and their Datang is getting stronger and stronger. We Turks, you Tuyuhun, and Tubo, the Western Regions, etc., will all become the prey of Datang. At that time, it would be difficult for us to protect ourselves. Therefore, in the current situation, we must restrict Datang For the development of the future, we small countries must join forces, and we must not let the Great Tang take advantage of it. Your Majesty, I, the Turkic Khan, is willing to join hands with you, Tuyuhun, to become life and death brothers, and to jointly resist the Great Tang in the future."

The Turkic envoy muttered something, but Turati did not express his opinion in a hurry. He was also not used to Xiliang, and he also felt that what the Turkic envoy said made sense, but if it was just these If it is not the case, it would be too easy to let him Tuyuhun make a move.

He has never been such an easy talker.

"It's not impossible to help, but it depends on how you want to help, and if you really want to help, the food, grass, housing expenses, etc. that I need to send troops to Tuyuhun are not the numbers in the gift list you gave, so to speak Come on, I, Tuyuhun, suffered a big loss, not only did not make ends meet, but also offended Datang, you said that such a loss-making business, can we Tuyuhun do it?"

In the final analysis, it is still a matter of money. With money or something, everything will be easy to talk about.

Turks are not very rich, but now, they seem to have no other better way than to keep throwing money.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I, the Turks, will give you all the food and grass you need to send troops, and the settlement expenses. Everything on this gift list will be given to you, Your Majesty the King."

In this case, the sincerity of the Turks can be said to be full.

After hearing this, Turati showed a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "So that's the case, this is acceptable, but how do you think I, Tuyuhun, can help?"

"Simple, as long as His Majesty the King sends people to attack Liangzhou City, it will be fine. After capturing Liangzhou City, Qin Tian will naturally lead his troops back to help. Liangzhou City is now extremely prosperous. After the capture, all the people inside All the things are from Tuyuhun, I don’t want anything from Turkic, how about it?”

There are many ways to help, you can send troops directly to the Turks, but the journey is too far away, the effect of besieging Wei and saving Zhao is not very good, because only when they can capture Liangzhou City, besieging Wei and saving Zhao can be effective.

To put it bluntly, the only way to make the people of Xiliang feel nervous is to attack the city that must be broken.

But the method of besieging Wei and saving Zhao is the most convenient one. It only needs to send troops from Tuyuhun to attack Liangzhou City.

"There is nothing wrong with attacking Liangzhou City. Since we have agreed on this, let's make a decision. After the food and housing expenses are delivered to us, I, Tuyuhun, will send troops immediately."

"Food and housing allowance will be delivered soon, please rest assured His Majesty the King."

After saying this, the Turkic envoys left in a hurry and went back to report. Here, King Turati of Tuyuhun also began to mobilize troops to attack Liangzhou City.

Turati was very excited, Tuyuhun finally didn't have to become a vassal state of Datang, and they could finally get rid of Datang's control.

And as long as they can defeat Xiliang, then their alliance with the Turks will make Datang fearful. At that time, they can even draw in more alliances.

If you want to live well, you must draw an alliance and compete with Datang.

Tuyuhun's [-] soldiers and horses quickly assembled and marched towards Liangzhou City.
