First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

...

Youzhou, at the northern foot of Yanshan Mountain.

In Tuli's little khan's tent, people from the Khitan Great Hemo Society, the Xi Clan's Ahuisuzhi and others gathered here. Tuli sat at the top with a strange look on his face, glancing at everyone from time to time.

After a long time, the little Khan of Tuli finally asked with some doubts: "Are you really sending troops?"

Da Hemohui looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "From the bottom of my heart, I definitely don't want to send troops."

Tuli Little Khan raised his eyebrows, shook the wine glass in his hand and waited for Da Hemo to continue.

Da Hemohui glanced at Tuli in pain, yes, his eyes were full of pain, and he gritted his teeth helplessly and said: "It's just that we are attached to the Turkic Khanate, and we dare not disobey the orders of the two Khans." .

"Okay", Tuli slapped the table and shouted: "If you have this awareness, it will save me a worry."

However, before everyone could react, a hint of cunning flashed in Tuli's eyes, "In that case, the Khitan will serve as the vanguard, the Xi tribe will serve as the central army, and I will personally lead the elite Turkic troops to hold down the battle for you."

"Little Khan, you..." Da Hemohui appropriately glared angrily, "We have already agreed to send troops, how can Little Khan force us like this?"

"Humph", Tuli's little Khan's face changed, "Fuck? Say it again?"

Da Hemohui hurriedly lowered his head and said: "I, the Khitan, are a small man and have very few young men left. The position of vanguard is of great importance. For fear of delaying the military strategy of the young Khan, the young Khan should consider it carefully."

Tu Li nodded when he heard this, "What he said makes sense."

Just when Dahemo would breathe a sigh of relief, Tuli continued: "In this case, let's use the Xi tribe as the vanguard."

When Ah Huisuzhi heard this, his old face turned red with anger. He saw Tuli staring at them with a surreptitious look. After all, Ah Huisuzhi was mature and prudent. He endured it forcefully and just said: "The Xi tribe's son is not enough. , I hope the little Khan will support me."

When Tuli heard this, he immediately became angry. He just thought that he could not push too hard, so he finally responded in a muffled voice, "Don't be timid when the time comes, otherwise you will be severely punished. After success, I will have my own reward."

Ah Huisuzhi made a dry promise and never thanked him, but in the eyes of Tuli's little khan, this was a normal behavior, especially their expressions of being angry but not saying anything, which made Tuli feel happy. .

Perhaps this is a kind of morbid psychology. Jieli Khan bullied him, but he had no choice but to be angry and dare not speak out, so he turned to bully these eastern tribes.

From the perspective of interest, as long as he does not use his own troops, in his opinion, these tribes that are dependent on him should fight for him.

It’s just that Tuli Little Khan and Jieli Khan who was far away in Yinshan didn’t expect it at all. This time, it was beyond their expectations.

The rebellion of Xueyantuo, Tongluo and other tribes did not alert Jieli and others, let alone pay attention to them. Perhaps they still believed that the current Turkic Khanate was still a super overlord covering thousands of miles from east to west.

Xue Yantuo's resistance is destined not to be a result, but just a beginning, like a spark that gradually starts a prairie fire.

It's just that Xue Yantuo's Zhenzhu Khan was ambitious and intended to replace the Turks and become the new overlord. However, the Khitan and other tribes knew that they were weak, so they had to find strong backers.

After coming out of De Ya Zhang, Da Hemo Hui said nothing, rode his horse straight to the distant hillside, roared to the sky, venting his anger. Seeing this, Ah Huisuzhi hurriedly followed, "Calm down, don't let him see it." Clues come out."

Da Hemo would take a deep breath, then shake his head and smile: "No, my behavior will only make Tuli more convinced. Isn't it the same when uncle asked for the armor just now?"

Ah Huisuzhi was startled when he heard this, and then nodded.

The purpose of them being so angry and asking for armor was to reassure Tuli. The little Khan of Tuli understood their nature and knew that they dared to be angry but dare not speak out. If they behaved extremely obediently without any complaints, , loyal, so sudden and sudden will definitely arouse suspicion.

Sure enough, not long after, a knight came to report to the tooth tent. Hearing that the Great Hemo would be so angry that he raised his head to the sky and roared. The little Khan Tuli also laughed loudly and was in a very happy mood.

"Brother, you won't force them to rebel, right?" Ashina said with some hesitation: "What if they rebel, how will this end?"

Tuli Little Khan waved his hand carelessly, "No."

"They don't have the guts," Tuli sneered, "especially the old man Ahui Suzina, they don't even dare. As for the Dahemohui... huh, I will argue with him again after he returns to the army."

Hearing this, Ashina had no choice but to give up. He also knew that his brother hated others questioning his decision, because it would make Tuli feel that his authority was being challenged.

"Then how many people do we have in our headquarters?" the association asked again.

"Take everyone with you," Tuli Khan said without hesitation.

"Bring everyone with you?" The association was shocked, "Brother, don't you want to preserve your strength?"

"Idiot," Tuli spat, "use your brain more."

"My younger brother is stupid, please give me some answers." Youshesui scratched his head and chuckled.

Obviously, the little Khan Tuli was very impressed and threw the wine glass aside.

"First, if I have too few people in my headquarters, how can I ensure our safety if something changes on the scene?" Tuli Little Khan asked with a glare.

"What does this change mean?" Jiu Shesuzu's heart skipped a beat.

"Either our army is defeated, or the Khitan mutiny, or unfortunately falls into a trap. In short, bringing all our troops with us can ensure the safety of you and me to the greatest extent," Tu Li said seriously.

"Secondly, if I only bring a small number of people from my own tribe, after word spreads out, they will definitely think that I am taking the opportunity to retaliate against the Khitan tribes. Furthermore, if word spreads to the Yinshan Palace, the uncle might think that I did this deliberately for the purpose of preserving my life. strength".

"Aren't you going to save your strength, brother?" He asked in confusion as his head was obviously not full.

"Idiot," Tu Li said angrily, "How could I have an idiot brother like you?"

"This is the third one. Even if I bring all the men and horses, I will only use them to supervise the battle. In frontal combat, I will only use people from various Khitan tribes. This is what is recorded in the Han military book. Killing three birds with one stone." Tuli Khan rubbed his chin The stubble on his face, he said wisely.

"I don't understand." Jushesu shook his head while shaking his cheeks. Then he saw Tu Li's angry expression and said hurriedly, "But I think your brother is very powerful, even more powerful than Wu Houliang in the legend of the Central Plains."

"Idiot", Tu Li shouted with a loud laugh: "That's Zhuge Liang, how can I compare?"

"No, no, no," Yushesu said seriously, "In my opinion, my brother is more powerful."

"Let's go, let's take you hunting." Tuli Khan was in a happy mood and said with a smile, "Didn't you always want my wind-chasing horse? I reward you."

"Thank you, brother, brother is the best." The association leader was overjoyed and followed Tu Li in a hurry, praising and praising him.

Two days later, soldiers and horses from all Khitan tribes gathered at the northern foot of Yanshan Mountain. Tu Li was wearing golden armor and was high-spirited.

"Warriors, follow this Khan, conquer Mobei, and capture the barbarian men alive." Tuli Little Khan galloped on his horse, his sharp voice about to break and sting his eardrums.

Da Hemohui's face was gloomy, with ruthlessness shining in the depths of his eyes. From beginning to end, he said nothing. Tuli saw this and felt even more happy. He even came forward and pointed his riding whip directly at the entrance to Dahemo's meeting. "Mohui, please raise your fighting spirit. If you are so sluggish again, I will deal with you through military law," Tu Li snorted coldly.

Ohamakai just kept silent and cupped his hands.

At this time, a horse came running from afar. When everyone looked, they saw that it was a Khitan man.

The Great Hemo Hui was shocked and stepped forward on his horse. When the man saw the Great Hemo Hui, he got off his horse and cried with grief and anger: "Chief, the Turks, the Turks have robbed our Galin pasture. It is used as interest on unpaid taxes."

"What?" Da Hemohui was immediately furious, "Who did it?"

"Turks from the Royal Court of Yinshan!" the Khitan said through gritted teeth.

The little Khan Tuli was shocked when he heard this. He quickly looked at the Da Hemo Hui, only to see the Da Hemo Hui look over with red eyes and a violent look on his face.

"Mohui, please wait a moment. I will ask clearly first." The little Khan of Tuli tried to reassure him, then stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, "Can you see clearly? Is it really the Turks from the royal court who did this?"

The Khitan man who reported the news did not hide his hatred and stared at Tuli, "I was not wrong about turning into ashes. The leader is the one named Shaluchu!"

Tuli couldn't help but curse loudly in his heart, and looked at Dahemohui with a guilty conscience.

"Little Khan!" Da Hemohui gritted his teeth and said word by word: "I, the Khitan son, are now fighting for the Turks, and you are actually grabbing my pasture in the rear. What does this mean?"

Although Tuli has always been domineering and arrogant, he now feels that he cannot refute it. After all, in this matter, the Turkic Royal Court did too much and was too immoral.

The Khitan people were recruited to fight for you in the front, and you went to rob the pastures of the old, weak, women and children. I don’t know who came up with this immoral and smoking thing. Anyway, Tuli, who was well-read in poetry and books, thought he couldn’t do it.

Thinking of this, Tuli had no choice but to ask: "Does the Khitan still have food in store?"

"No!" Da Hemohui squeezed out two words through his teeth. Even if there was food in stock now, he still had to say there was no food.

Tu Li paused after hearing this. He knew that the huge Khitan tribe could never have only one pasture. He could only put the overall situation first. He gritted his teeth and ordered: "Send an order to transfer [-] cattle and sheep from the Yazhang and send them to the Khitan immediately."

The leader behind him was stunned when he heard this, and quickly tried to persuade him: "Brother?"

"Go quickly, are you going to let the Khitan brothers starve to death?" Tu Li scolded him.

Then he looked at the Ohama Club and asked, "What do you think of the Yama Club?"

"Little Khan, do you think Galin Ranch is only worth ten thousand cattle and sheep?" Da Hemohui's face was still gloomy, and the Manchu people's uncontrollable anger gradually overflowed.

"Mo Hui, don't push yourself too far!" Tu Li instantly revealed his violent and violent nature, staring directly at Da He Mo Hui with a pair of triangular eyes.

"Where is the Khitan son?" Da Hemohui yelled.

Twenty thousand young Khitans behind him shouted in unison.

"Okay," Tuli gritted his teeth, "Mohui, are you threatening me?"

"I don't dare, it's just that you Turks are too good at what you do," Da Hemohui replied directly.

After a period of silence, the little Khan Tuli finally spoke: "In this battle, you, the Khitan, will take [-]% of all the spoils."

Da Hemohui's eyes flashed with sternness, and he felt great hatred in his heart. At this point, it was unrealistic for Tuli to still be here.

Tuli's eyes were fixed on the silent Ahuisuzhi. Ahuisuzhi was shocked all over. He was busy pulling on the sleeves of Dahemohui, and then said: "Little Khan, the Galin Ranch has been robbed, and it is doomed." It affects the morale of the Khitans. You are also a learned person and know how to reward to improve morale. What do you think of [-]%?"

After Tuli heard the words "You are also a learned person", he relaxed his brows, thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement, "Old Chief Ah Hui understands the righteousness well and what he said makes sense, Mo Hui, I also I won’t argue with you about your rudeness, I just hope it won’t affect the battle and you can take care of yourself.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he hit the horse and drove away.

Ohama would clenched his fists until they made a loud banging sound.

Upon seeing this, Ah Huisuzhi stepped forward and said, "When you arrive in Mobei, ask him to repay you a hundred times."

Da Hemo would remain silent, just staring at the back of Tuli Little Khan.

At this time, Tuli's little Khan was also furious, "Go and investigate. Send people to the royal court to find out which fool did this. Isn't this putting me in danger?"

"Brother, please be careful." He quickly looked around and whispered, "What if it's my uncle?"

"No," Tuli Little Khan said with absolute certainty, "He wouldn't be so brainless. Isn't this forcing the Khitans to rebel?"

Hearing this, Jisheshu was shocked, "What about the Khitan?"

"Do you even need me to tell you?" Little Khan Tuli glared and scolded: "Keep an eye on me. If there is any abnormal movement, we will withdraw."

"Withdraw?" Jiu Sheshui looked surprised, "If he makes any changes, it means he is rebellious. Are we not going to deal with him?"

"Idiot", suddenly angry, whipped him, "They have 2 people and we have 2 people. We are evenly matched. What's more, there are Xi people who wear the same pants as the Khitan. If we fight, both sides will lose, and the gain will not be worth the loss." .

"As long as we withdraw and blame the Khitan for the defeat, do you think that uncle in the royal court can bear it?"

Hearing this, Ashina's leader grinned, "Then we'll just watch the dog bite... No." He glanced around and said with a smile, "We'll just watch my uncle quell the rebellion."

Tuli suddenly looked towards the distant horizon, gradually fell silent, and his face gradually became serious.

"I always feel something is wrong, especially this year. Some of the measures taken by that uncle are very similar to certain government decrees in the Central Plains. But when applied to the grasslands, there are always some pictures of tigers that cannot be compared with dogs."

"Painting? Isn't painting a tiger the opposite of a dog?" Youshesu was stunned for a moment, then blinked and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Idiot", Tu Li spat again: "Telling you to study more means being nondescript. It comes from the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" written in the Central Plains."

Then he shook his head and said: "You can't imitate the uncle, but you are still a person who is respectful of the imperial edict. The so-called carving a swan can't be like a duck; the imitation of Ji Liang can't be like a frivolous person in the world. The so-called painting a tiger can't be like a dog. ".

Seeing that the association was confused, Tuli lost interest and said, "I'm really playing the piano with you, a fool."

"Why do you want to play the harp to a cow?" the association leader continued.

"During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Mou Rong's "Lihuo Lun" said: 'Gongmingyi is the practice of flicking and clearing the horns of oxen, lying down and eating as usual. If it is not heard by oxen, it does not suit their ears.'"

"Go away." Seeing that the association rate was still at a loss, Tu Li whipped him again and cursed: "Remember to send someone to the royal court to check. I want to see who is the great talent who almost killed me." I’m so sweaty."
