A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 1128 Khan
Dulu Khan's injured leg has recovered well.

He carved a cane himself, and he could move slowly with it. Gongyue City was so lively, and he didn't want to be lonely, so he put on a new silk robe and waited for the leaders of various tribes to come and pay him a visit.

But no matter how long he waited, no one came to pay homage to him, the Dulu Khan.

"Has Heluo Shichu of the Tuqish arrived?"

"He is here. He was the first one summoned by Prime Minister Wu."

"Still with Prime Minister Wu?"

"The interview has already ended. He has left the city and returned to his camp."

Ashina Fu's face didn't look good. Heluo Shichuo had a good relationship with him in the past, but now that he came to Gongyue City, he didn't even come to pay him a visit. Didn't he know that he was in the city?

"Where's Lu Chu?"

"Lüchu went to the city to meet Prime Minister Wu after Tunchu."

“I’m asking where they are now?”

"After paying respects to Lord Wu, they all left the city and returned to their own camps."

Luchuo was the leader of the Chumukun tribe, and Tunchuo was the leader of the Shesheti tribe, both of whom were one of the five Dulu tribes.

They did not come to see him, the Great Khan. Ashina Fu was not discouraged and asked the leaders of the other two tribes of the Five Great Duolu, "Where is Quechu of the Huluwu tribe, and where is Chubanchu of the Shunishi tribe?"

"They have all paid their respects to Prime Minister Wu and left the city. I heard that Prime Minister Wu said he would host a banquet for them tonight."

Duolu Khan's face looked very ugly. None of the five big brothers of the East Wing Duolu came to see him.

"What about Mishe, Buzhen and the others?"

"Moheduo Yehu is still with Prime Minister Wu. It is said that they had a very pleasant conversation. There are rumors that Prime Minister Wu wants to make him the Khan of Beiting and grant him the title of Protector General of Kunling."

"Appoint Duluye Hubuzhen as the Little Khan and Deputy Protector General," the guard Fuli said in a low voice.

"I want to go see the Prime Minister. Carry me."

Duolu Khan was unwilling to give in. Although he knew at the moment of being captured alive that he might end up like his father,
But after all, there is still some hope and a hint of fantasy.

The scenery of Yiligong in May is unique, with snow-capped peaks in the distance, green grass in front of the mountains, the lively river, herds of cattle and sheep, and tents of herdsmen.

What a wonderful place.

Everything here originally belonged to him, but now it will leave him.

He traveled from Mobei to Qinan, then to Gaochang in the Western Regions, and finally to Yili. After more than ten years of hard work, was everything going to be in vain?

When he was carried to the City Lord's Mansion,
Just then I saw the brothers Mishe and Buzhen walking out. These two Yehu were both fifth-generation descendants of the Midian Room, but their relationship had never been very good.

Bu Zhen was furious when he came out, and Mishe also had an ugly look on his face.

Dulu Khan waved to the two of them and said hello.

Mishe nodded slightly to him, but Bu Zhen ignored him and just left.

Ashina Fu raised his hand and stood there in a daze, he could never have imagined that this would be the result.
How dare they?
It seems that Wu Huaiyu really wants to let Mishe be the Khan, otherwise they would not dare to look down on him so much.

Duolu Khan and his entourage were stopped by the Tang army at the gate.

"I want to see the Minister of War."

"Do you have an appointment?"

Duolu Khan was stunned. As the Khan, he needed to make an appointment to meet the Prime Minister?
"No,"

"The Minister of War is very busy. If you want to meet him, please make an appointment in advance. If he is free, he will arrange a time and notify you."

"I have something important to do." Nasnafu was anxious.

Unfortunately, the burly Tang soldiers in shiny armor ignored him, the Khan, stared at him, slammed the spears in their hands on the ground, and said, "Stop making noise, retreat quickly."

Duolu Khan was so angry that he was shaking all over, and his broken ribs began to hurt again.

When Dulu Khan was in a dilemma,

A person walked out of the door.
"Who is making a noise here?"

The gatekeeper quickly explained the situation to the man, who was dressed in military civilian attire. "Please wait a moment, I will go and report." After a moment, the man came out again and said that the Prime Minister wanted to see him.

Dulu Khan was carried into the city lord's mansion.

He had been here more than once. Every time he came here in the past, the Lord of Gongyue City, Yuzhi Jijin, would always bring a group of people to the door to welcome him grandly. He didn't expect that now he would have to endure such humiliation when he entered the Lord of Gongyue City's Mansion.

He was carried to the front hall.

Wu Huaiyu is looking at the map.

"General Manager, Dulu Khan has arrived."

Wu Huaiyu hummed, but did not turn around. He still stood in front of the screen, looking at the map on it, and sketching on it with a pen.

Ashina Fu was let go by his men and was left there.

After a long time, Wu Huaiyu turned around.

"Why did Khan come to see me instead of resting and recovering from his injuries?"

"I heard that all the leaders of the tribes have arrived, and Prime Minister Wu has also talked to them about setting up a protectorate, a governorate, and a state, and also about enthroning a new Khan?" Dulu asked.

"Yes, it is true. What does the Khan suggest?"

Ashina Fu gritted his teeth, "I wonder how the Minister of War plans to deal with me?"

"Haven't I told you before? After we conquer Gaochang, the royal army will return victorious and send the Khan and Zhenzhu Yehu to Chang'an. Your wives, concubines, and children will also be sent along. Once you get to Chang'an, you will live in luxury and wealth."

"Is this the will of the Khan?"

"Well, before I was ordered to go to the battle, His Majesty instructed me to invite the Khan to Chang'an. I also signed a military order saying that I would send the Khan to Chang'an."

"Why is Li Mishe the Khan?"

"Because Mishe once went to Chang'an to pay homage to the emperor, the saint admired him very much. When you hadn't come to the Western Regions yet, the Western Regions were in chaos, and the saint even appointed Mishe as the Khan. Now that you are going to Chang'an to serve the emperor, isn't it natural for Mishe to be the Khan?"

Duolu Khan felt a pain in his ribs. "I can go to Chang'an to pay respect to the emperor, or I can stay in Chang'an from now on. Can I let my eldest son Zhenzhu Yehu stay?
The Tang Dynasty can appoint him as the Khan of Beiting, and he will definitely be more loyal to the Tang Dynasty than Mishe."

Wu Huaiyu shook his head mercilessly.

"You are going to Chang'an, so of course you should go together as a family. Leaving Zhenzhu Yehu alone in the Western Regions will mean that your family will be separated. How can this be possible?"

"Besides, Zhenzhu Yehu is so young. Do you really think that if the court appoints him as Khan, he will be able to take over Beiting?"

Dulu Khan bowed his head.

"Prime Minister Wu, if you make Mishe the Khan, this may not be accomplished. Buzhen and Mishe are not on good terms. Although they are cousins, they are not on good terms. Buzhen is ambitious and bold. If someone else is made the Khan, he may be able to accept it reluctantly, but he will never accept Mishe as the Khan alone."

"Oh, really? The court also plans to make him a junior khan and let him be in charge of the eastern part of Beiting."

"Bu Zhen will never agree to that."

"It's not up to him whether he is willing or not." Wu Huaiyu said frankly.

"Isn't Prime Minister Wu afraid that once the Tang army withdraws, the khans of Beiting will start fighting among themselves and attack each other?"

"Attack each other? This time I will summon the leaders of all tribes to come here, and then I will set up protectorates and governors, grant them official positions, and make a joint oath that whoever dares to cross the border to graze or plunder other tribes will be a common enemy and can be defeated together.

I want to see who is so brave. "

Whether it is Nanting or Beiting, or Mengchi Protectorate and Kunling Protectorate, they will all be brought under the jurisdiction of Anxi Protectorate, and all the tribes and countries in the Western Regions will become part of the Tang Dynasty's vassal system.
If anyone dares to provoke a war again, the Tang Dynasty will call on other tribes to destroy him together.

Wu Huaiyu actually knew that Mishe and Buzhen were brothers who did not get along, so why did he still make Mishe the Khan of Beiting and Buzhen the Little Khan of Beiting?

This was to divide and disintegrate the Western Turks, and also to lay an ambush for the Tang Dynasty's next move.

Otherwise, there is no legitimate reason for the teacher to do so.

In history, Mishe was ambushed by Bu Zhen, and dozens of his brothers and nephews were killed. Mishe was defeated and had to flee eastward to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

This time, the Western Expedition will first incorporate the Western Regions into the Tang Dynasty's vassal system, and the rest will come slowly.

"I will host a banquet tonight to entertain the leaders of the tribes. The Khan will also come. At that time, I will formally announce a series of appointments and titles, and also announce that the Khan will come to the capital to serve the Heavenly Khan.
The Khan will probably accept my arrangement by then, right?"

What else could Duolu Khan say at this time?
Even though he was unwilling, now all the tribes had surrendered, the five great chou had already met Wu Huaiyu, and two of the four great yehu had also met Wu Huaiyu.
But these people seemed to have forgotten about him, Dulu Khan.
Whether he agrees or not cannot change the facts. His attitude may only change his future situation in Chang'an.
