New Year
Eastern Turkic Tent
"Let the envoys of the Yan Kingdom come in."
East Turkic Jieli Khan is embracing a beautiful woman from the Central Plains, eating a delicious leg of lamb in his mouth.
A few years ago, Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty sent a lot of gold and silver treasures to the Eastern Turks and many beauties to Chuluo Khan in order to stabilize the Turks and prevent the Turks from attacking the rear of the country.
According to the customs of the grassland, after Chuluo Khan died, Jieli Khan inherited these beautiful concubines of Chuluo Khan.
"Foreign minister, I have met Khan, Khan has lived for thousands of years!"
The envoy of Yan State bowed down respectfully, and then explained the purpose of coming: "A few years ago, our Yan State and your country had a little misunderstanding. Now, we are willing to reconcile with your country and form an alliance together to fight against Tang State!"
For more than a year, under the attack of Li Shimin, the Huaxia League has been defeated again and again, and has been constantly retreating. One member state after another has been annexed by Li Shimin, but Yan Guo can do nothing about it.
Yan Ming wants to call up an army of [-] to fight Li Shimin.
However, as soon as his plan was put forward, it was ruthlessly rejected by the noble council.
Most of the nobles want to recuperate and are unwilling to waste the national power of Yan State in the Central Plains.
"Our advantage lies in Shanhaiguan, the navy, and allies, not land. It is not a wise move to fight the Central Plains dynasty on land."
"What we have to do is to keep attracting more allies like Xian Junxu, and use these allies to constantly consume the national power of the Central Plains Dynasty, and at the same time use the advantages of Shanhaiguan and the navy to besiege the Central Plains Dynasty on land , let them have nothing to do with us, so that the Central Plains Dynasty can be slowly consumed!"
This is Nangong Wenya/Yan Wenya's suggestion, to tell Yan Ming not to take the lead, don't gamble with Yan's national fortune, and play it safe.
"Use the Central Plains people to deal with the Central Plains people, not the Yan people to deal with the Central Plains people!" Nangong Wenya, like her brother Nangong Wentian, has a long-term national policy plan.
Therefore, the East Turks became the target of the Yan State. The Yan State hoped that the East Turks could become their friends (cannon fodder), so they sent envoys to reconcile with the East Turks and jointly curb the expansion of the Tang Empire.
"Tang State sent money to Ben Khan to give women, but you, Yan State, imposed trade sanctions on our noble Turks a few years ago. Why should we cooperate with you?"
East Turkic Jieli Khan sneered.
"Khan, you are the smartest person in the world, why can't you see that Tang Guo is actually keeping a low profile. The reason why they are willing to give you money and women is because they are too weak, and they have to do it in order to survive. In other words, once they unify the Central Plains and their power expands rapidly, they will definitely invade the grasslands and turn the grasslands into their back garden just like the Sui Empire did 20 years ago."
The envoys of the Yan State continued to play up the huge threat of the Tang Empire, and came up with a "Tang Dynasty Threat Theory", arguing that if the expansion of the Tang Empire could not be curbed, all free countries around them would be enslaved by the Tang Empire.
"Really?" Jieli Khan has long been worried that if the Tang Dynasty unifies the Central Plains, it will threaten him. It's just that the Yan State relied on its many allies and bullied the Tang Dynasty and the Turks at the same time, so the Turks were forced to cooperate with the Tang Dynasty. , Together to smash the [China Alliance] of Yan Kingdom.
The intrigue between countries is so ever-changing. A year ago, Li Tang was still in the honeymoon period with the Eastern Turks, and the two sides worked together to smash the [China Alliance] of Yan into pieces.
Now, the most powerful [China Alliance] has been crushed, and Li Tang has become the new strongest. Therefore, East Turkistan began to cooperate with Yan State again, and together with Yan State, they suppressed Li Tang.
Turkic + Li Tang vs Huaxia Alliance, became Li Tang vs Yan Guo + Eastern Turkic.
The world seems to have returned to the Warring States Period, countries allied with each other, betrayed each other, and diplomats fought against each other.
Enemies can also become friends, and friends can also become enemies, everything changes rapidly.
Now in the Central Plains, only the vassal states of the Yan Kingdom and the six separatist forces of Lin Shihong, Feng An, Xiao Xian, Li Zitong, Liu Wuzhou, and Liang Shidu remained.
Dou Jiande was very miserable. After he was captured, he had a very good attitude and respectfully surrendered to Li Shimin, expressing his willingness to be a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty forever.
However, Dou Jiande was too popular in Hebei, which made Li Yuan very jealous. He was afraid that if Dou Jiande raised his arms, countless people in Hebei would respond, so he ignored Li Shimin's dissuasion and forcibly killed Dou Jiande, who was wholeheartedly surrendering.
Li Yuan's actions naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of many Hebei generals, such as Liu Heita and Su Dingfang. They were always ready to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, and secretly contacted Yan Guo, always looking for opportunities.
"Ben Khan can cooperate with you Yan people, but I hope you Yan people will not cheat us again in terms of trade."
Jieli Khan's words made the envoys of the Yan Kingdom a little embarrassed. Yan Guo often cheated and abducted the uneducated prairie people in international trade, making the prairie people call profiteers directly.
Afterwards, Jieli Khan asked the Central Plains dancers sent by Li Yuan to dance a song for himself and the envoys of the Yan Kingdom to celebrate the enduring friendship between East Turks and the Kingdom of Yan, just like the friendship between Qin and Jin.
What East Turkic Jieli Khan thought was that with the assistance of the Yan State, it should be easier to deal with the Tang Dynasty by himself.
But what the envoy of Yan State thought was that with the large cannon fodder of East Turks, it should be able to consume a lot of Li Tang's national power, leaving Li Tang with no extra strength to deal with Yan State.
Under such happy and sincere cooperation, the two parties drank one glass after another. In the end, Jieli Khan sent a dancer from the Central Plains to the envoy of Yan State.
"Welcome to come again next time, my friend from Yan Kingdom." Jieli Khan was very hospitable.
"May your lifespan be as long as the heavens and the earth, and your country is more dazzling than the sun in the sky!" The envoy of Yan Kingdom also accepted Jieli Khan's gift with a smile, thanked him respectfully again, and then returned to Yandu to return his orders.
With the alliance of Yan State and Eastern Turks, a siege network against the Tang Empire is being formed.
At the beginning, Yan Xu built a siege network against the Sui Empire, and now, Yan Ming wants to build a siege network against the Tang Empire.
Sitting on the sidelines is nothing more than that!
Changan
The news of the alliance between the Yan State and the Eastern Turks spread to Chang'an City, and Li Yuan was a little worried.
"Yan formed an alliance with the Turks, and the situation in the world seems to have returned to the period of Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. Is my Tang Dynasty going to follow the old path of the Sui Dynasty? Is my Tang Dynasty going to die in Shanhaiguan?"
The older Li Yuan was, the more useless he became. When he was young, he could break into the Turkic tent alone and kill the envoy of the Yan Kingdom, but now that he is getting old, he only wants to enjoy the emperor's comfort Harem life.
