Chapter 322
When he got on his horse, there were already Turkic soldiers behind him, outflanking Shiling from both sides.

At the same time, the Turkic envoy team also blew a loud horn, and the scouts in the distance also surrounded him.

Wang Hua hit the horse's back hard with the back of the dagger, and quickly fled to the northwest.

In fact, it is safer to go to the south, because the south is the Yinshan Mountains, and if you enter the continuous Yinshan Mountains, you can use the terrain to hide.But Wang Hua did not go south because he was afraid that the Turks would suspect him.

In order to hide his whereabouts, he not only wore Turkic clothes all over his body, but even his weapons were Turkic weapons, and he even covered his face.Even the horse was secretly arranged by him and bought a Turkic horse.Even the luggage brought along the way was discarded before the assassination in order to make the horse run faster.

After wandering around on the grassland for several days, Wang Hua was so embarrassed that he threw off the pursuers.

He was almost surrounded by chasing soldiers several times, which made him lament that assassination is not an easy job.

Back in Toyosu, the weather gradually started to cool down.

But several large cities gradually stood up.

Mo Hegan once again came up with an idea to Wang Hua, asking Wang Hua to write a letter, taking advantage of the opportunity of the peace talks, and starting from Fengzhou to build two to three big cities eastward to defend the frontier.

Wang Hua glanced at him, but didn't speak.

But he understood that Mo Heqian had good intentions, and now the dispute in the court has become more serious.First, Wu Zetian ordered Yang Zaisi, who was close to two Zhangs, to be the internal history, then Li Chengjia, Yan Yan, Fan Chun, Zhang Tongxiu, Zhang Changqi, and Zhang Changyi took the spoils, and Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi were domineering, so Zhang Changyi was demoted as Bowang Cheng and Zhang Tongxiu as Qishan Cheng.

The ministers refused to accept, Wei Anshi and Tang Xiujing charged Zhang Yizhi and other crimes, and planned to conspire to arrest him, but they failed. Wu Zetian demoted Wei Anshi as the governor of Yangzhou, and Tang Xiujing as the governor of Yingyou.

This is a change on the surface, but in fact, the background is the result of the struggle between the Li Group and the Zhang Brothers.

In addition, Zong Chuke was also demoted to the governor of Yuanzhou for offending Wu's group.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Yao Yuanzhi, another wise man in the Li's group, took the initiative to say to Wu Zetian that it is not suitable for a minister to be a king and to be in charge of soldiers and horses.So it was changed to Erotic Book.

Probably felt that the attack on Li's group was too severe. When Yao Yuanzhi was the pacification ambassador of Lingwu Dao in September, Wu Zetian listened to Yao Yuanzhi's words and appointed Zhang Jianzhi as prime minister.

This is a small balance. In the final analysis, Lao Wu finally has no ambitions. Knowing that Li Dan and Li Xian have made countless small moves behind his back, but his own body is not good enough, he adopted the strategy of turning a blind eye and closing one eye. Attitude.

Under such circumstances, Wang Hua's return to Luoyang was only a bad thing, but nothing good.

But Wang Hua was hesitating in his heart, he didn't know whether to go back.If he doesn't go back, it is possible that in three or four months, the Shenlong coup will kick off magnificently. If the Scarlet Battalion is suppressed in Luoyang, the situation will be different immediately.

But he can't even tell this secret.

If the good deeds between Li Dan and Princess Taiping are ruined, will they regard themselves as a thorn in their side?
It was finally cold in September, and Wang Hua was hunting with Xiao Yuzhen, Li Xuejun and a group of guards.

Suddenly a soldier came over on horseback and reported that it was a Turkic envoy who asked to see him.

Wang Hua was taken aback for a moment. After he shot the arrow that day, he immediately ran away.He didn't ask about this matter either. After all, Wu Yanxiu is Wu Zetian's grandnephew, and Wu Yanxiu would be furious if he was assassinated.Once asked, it may arouse some people's suspicion if it spreads out.

It is very difficult for the Turks to explain to the Tang Dynasty that this major event happened. It is possible that the envoys could stop in place and then send people to explain to the Tang Dynasty and Mochuu.This is in line with normal procedures.

Why didn't this peace group and envoy group stop?Also, they are going to Luoyang. According to the road, they should go to Shuozhou, go down to Taiyuan, and go straight to Luoyang.But why did you take a detour and come to Toyosu?
Wang Hua returned to Fengzhou City suspiciously.

When I came to the state government office, I saw a big man who was nearly thirty years old. After seeing Wang Hua, he was stunned for a moment, then strode over, gave Wang Hua a hug, and said, "Your Excellency is the famous Wang Huaying." Captain?"

"Exactly, but I dare not call it a famous name, may I ask your Excellency?"

"I am Que Teqin, the son of the original Turkic Khan Guchulu, the envoy of this peace envoy."

"So it's His Excellency Que Teqin, I've admired you for a long time."

In fact, Wang Hua followed them for several days, and was very familiar with the appearance of Que Teqin and Princess Heining.But it cannot be revealed.Wang Hua bowed his hands. He had been in the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and he was obviously not used to this warm etiquette on the grassland.He said again: "Your Excellency, in order to negotiate peace and get married, why did you detour to Fengzhou?"

The detour this time did not take much detour, about five or six hundred miles, but their trip was not an army, and they carried a lot of cargo, so the journey was very slow, because this small detour was delayed for several days.

Que Teqin sat down, rubbed his hands, and said, "We wouldn't make a detour, but something happened on the way. That's why I came up with this decision."

"What's the matter?" Wang Hua also sat down, and the servants made Wang Hua a cup of tea, and Wang Hua asked after taking a sip.

"Will Director Wang Ying feel resentful for your country's betrayal of the whereabouts of the Blood Character Camp?"

Wang Hua almost spit out the tea, it's okay for other people to ask this question, but Que Teqin's identity, why did he ask this question?

"But also, some time ago, something happened that made me very angry. There was an assassin who wanted to assassinate King Huaiyang of your country."

Wang Hua was a little surprised in his heart, could it be that Que Teqin guessed that he did it, and purposely made a detour to tell him about it, to test himself?He said without changing expression: "How is King Huaiyang now? Who is the assassin?"

"Wang Yingdu, listen to me in detail. In fact, many people are dissatisfied with the peace negotiation between our country and your country this time. There are also some tribes in the north who want us Turks to continue fighting with your country. They want to reap the benefits of fisherman. "

His Chinese is not fluent, but Wang Hua can still understand it.But don't say that Que Teqin is a sincere gentleman. To be honest, if it really drags on, the Turks may be dragged down by the huge national power of the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty itself is hard to say where it will go because of years of wars.

So when he said it, it made people feel frank, but it didn't affect the overall situation.

"Also, our Great Khan is getting old. I followed the Great Khan all the year round and fought all over the world, and I was lucky enough to accumulate some military exploits. Therefore, some people feel dissatisfied."

Only then did Wang Hua understand what he meant. This time he assassinated Wu Yanxiu. Que Teqin didn't doubt himself, but he suspected that the tribes in the north who were not very confidant to the Turks, as well as the sons of Mochuo or his cousins. .

This is all wrong, but why did he tell himself these things?
Wang Hua didn't speak, but just looked at this big man whom Mo Heqian valued very much, and listened to him continue talking.

But he was amused in his heart. It turned out that everyone was fighting with each other, and the Turkic people began to fight among themselves, but he was thinking about how to use this opportunity.

"However, before I left, I thought about this problem, so I made arrangements early. I found a Han man who looked very similar to King Huaiyang, and let this Han man show up in public." Thinking of this, Que Teqin also took a risk. Cold sweat, that assassin was very good at archery, he left with just one arrow.Obviously he is very confident in his archery.But this arrow did kill the person who replaced Wu Yanxiu.

Que Teqin even felt that if the arrow was shot at him, could he avoid it?

The biggest suspect in his heart did not tell Wang Hua, but he thought it was very likely that his cousin, who was not much different in age, did it.Among the latecomers, among the few competitors who will be able to be crowned the Great Khan in the future, and who have made outstanding contributions, only the one who is the most competitive is himself.

Once Wu Yanxiu is assassinated this time, the peace conference between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty will collapse, and his uncle will definitely punish him.

It chilled him.

Hearing this, Wang Hua felt chilled in his heart. It turned out that he had taken such a big risk this time, and actually only assassinated an ordinary Han, but the real Wu Yanxiu did not die.But he stroked his chest and said, "Fortunately, Ambassador Que Teqin was resourceful and came up with this idea. Otherwise, there would be a major misunderstanding. But what about the assassin?"

"This assassin's skill and riding skills are very good. After he shot an arrow, he immediately shot and killed the substitute I chose. Then he got on the horse without even looking at it. I was quick to react at that time, and immediately sent someone Chase. But this assassin is very experienced, he chose a stone ridge, and separated a certain distance. When some soldiers caught up, he was already far away, and killed six of my men again, and escaped."

"Pity."

"Yes, if this assassin is caught, I will know who did it. But someone should know this assassin. He came with a mask, and his figure is similar to Wang Yingdu."

"Would the ambassador also suspect that I did it?"

"This is a joke," Que Teqin laughed. At first he saw Wang Hua, who was about the same size as the assassin that day, but it didn't mean it was made by Wang Hua.There are many big men who are about the same size as Wang Hua.

Most importantly, Wang Hua had no reason to assassinate Wu Yanxiu.One is that Wu Yanxiu and Wang Hua have no hatred, and the other is that Wang Hua, as Wu Zetian's diehard loyalist, should understand that this peace negotiation is beneficial to Wu Zetian's current turbulent political situation, and there is no reason to destroy this peace negotiation.So after seeing Wang Hua stunned for a moment, he immediately relieved.

"But Ambassador Que Teqin, I don't understand. Did you make a detour to tell me this?"

Que Teqin looked at the yamen servants and several officials who were standing aside.

Wang Hua waved his hand to let them retreat.

Que Teqin then said: "It is precisely for this matter. But it is only for some things extended from this matter. I have thought about many things because of this matter on the road these days. War is just a means. If you lose For the sake of profit, this kind of war is not worth mentioning.”

A few lights flashed in Wang Hua's eyes, and it was not easy for a rude Turkic person to figure out this truth.

"For profit, your people can sell your country, and our people can sell our country. Although you are not ashamed of this behavior, I am not ashamed. But there are still people who will do this. Just like your blood camp For your country, it is reasonable to fight us Turks. It is also reasonable for us to fight your country for the sake of strength. However, I cannot hate your country because of this assassination."

Wang Hua scorned in his heart, thinking that you thought it was done by his cousin, and there was no blood feud with our Tang Dynasty, so it is natural to understate this sentence.But in our Scarlet Battalion, how many brothers fell down.

"So whether the blood-letter camp succeeds or fails, it is still for the benefit of the country, and has nothing to do with personal enmity. If Wang Yingdu wants to blame, he can only blame the person in your country who betrayed the news."

"I have a sense of proportion in my heart, but I still haven't heard what your Excellency meant by saying these words to me?"

"Without him, I made a special detour here to form an alliance with you."

"Alliance?" Wang Hua called out in surprise.

"Yes, I have been reflecting on it for the past few days. Your country has a vast territory and a large population. If you fight with your country when it is declining, we Turks will continue to have the upper hand. But if your country does not weaken itself due to internal strife , relying on us Turks, or people of any other race, will not gain the upper hand. On the contrary, because of the war, we will be dragged down by your country's strong national strength."

Wang Hua just looked at this big man in amazement, every word was unexpected.Although what he said was the truth, even Wang Hua was unexpected when he said it so frankly.

"Wang Yingdu, don't be surprised. It's better to be straightforward when talking to smart people. It's called being clever and being misunderstood by being clever. But looking at your country, it's the same for us in the desert grassland, because the severe cold where we are No interest, the only thing we need is that we become a vassal state of your country to save face, or pay some tribute to reduce side affairs. Let me say a word now, maybe in a few years, I will agree to these conditions, Wang Yingdu, whether And continue to be hostile to us Turks."

If the Turkic people really wanted to do this, the Tang Dynasty would have no excuse to send troops.Without righteousness, it can't inspire morale, and taking the initiative to pick sides, according to the current military strength of the Tang Dynasty, is not a good thing.But Wang Hua said: "If your country really has such sincerity, why would I still want to send troops? But it's not up to you, nor to me."

"That's good. I'm afraid that Wang Yingdu has other ideas. Then I will get to the point. The sweat is getting old, and I want Wang Yingdu to support me in the future."

"Ambassador Que Teqin, you are joking. I am just a battalion supervisor now, and I have only a few thousand soldiers under me. How can I have the right to support you?"

"You misunderstood me. First, I don't want to be a great Khan, but I just want Turkic to no longer be as unrepentant as Jieli and Xue Yantuo in the future. I don't agree with some of the Khan's actions. I am looking for another way out, which is to rely on your country’s wings and not provoke your country. This saves a lot of troops to suppress various tribes in the country. I also agree with Mohegan’s original proposal in Turkic.”

When Mo Hegan was mentioned, Wang Hua smiled awkwardly.

Que Teqin also smiled, and he continued: "Developing business and trade with your country is the real way to make us Turkic people rich, not mutual aggression and war. I have also heard some stories about you. Mr. Shangmao doesn't seem to reject it."

"Your proposal is very good, but I still don't understand why you are looking for me as a candidate?"

Que Teqin smiled bitterly and said: "Your country is even more chaotic than ours now. I don't have the vision to find out the second person to choose. I have to choose Jun. But listen to me, although Yi Khan is getting older, his body is still weak. Very strong, this matter is not urgent for now, it will take many years. And after many years, Wang Jun has grown up long ago and has the right to speak."

Wang Hua chuckled and said, "I don't even have such confidence, how come you have such confidence in me?"

"Wang Jun is in the game of chess, including your Majesty. Not to mention Wang Jun's talent and means, and because of your Majesty's transfer, how many generals of the Bloody Battalion have held important positions in the army? After a few years, these generals have grown up. , it can be said that they are all subordinates of Jun's relatives, and they were trained by Jun alone. At least in the side affairs, most of them listen to Jun's transfer."

"Ambassador Que Teqin, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. These generals are promoted due to their merits, and everyone is for the country. If it is for personal interests, they will not follow my command." Wang Hua said quickly.If this word gets out, there will be countless articles for Wang Hua's potential enemies to do.

Que Teqin shook his head and said: "Wang Yingdu, I have always shown sincerity to you, why should you deceive me. Moreover, the premise of my cooperation with you is that it cannot be done on the basis of harming the interests of our respective countries. I I will not ask you to sell your country's interests for yourself or me, and you will never think of me selling our Turkic interests for yourself or you. This is the premise of real cooperation."

Wang Hua was stunned, what he said was more righteous than his own.

"Also, we only keep this covenant verbally and in our hearts. We don't need to prove it with paper deeds. Even if there are any changes in the future, everyone will not be able to use this covenant to attack each other."

Wang Hua finally laughed and said, "Then, how can we form an alliance?"

"It's very simple. On the basis of the premise I said, in order to help each other, we can appropriately exchange some weapons, trade and intelligence information, and even deploy some troops in detail to cooperate with each other and help each other's status in their respective countries."

Wang Hua was very moved, at least when Que Teqin did not really hold the power of the Turks, he would not deliberately help Li Dan, Li Xian or Wu Sansi and Er Zhang, so this ally was stronger than any ally.In particular, the latter condition he proposed made Wang Hua's heart quite moved. He faintly felt that it was a very good opportunity for him.

Of course, it is also a good opportunity for Que Teqin.For example, Que Teqin agreed to make a peace, but the Turkic country was going to fight, so he could make some adjustments with his troops to force the Turkic to negotiate a peace.If you want to fight, it is also the opposite.

This is a big pie falling from the sky, especially when the big change is coming and I am alone and weak.

In normal times, Wang Hua would have refused because of his hostile side, but now he is hesitant.

PS: call for a monthly pass.
