Chapter 117 The root of disaster is deeply planted (recommendation ticket please, thank you!!!)
"General, fortunately, I did not disgrace my life!"

"Those corpses have been covered up!"

The faces of the soldiers who returned to their mission were filled with joy that could not be concealed. In this night, it was very obvious that they were reflected by the moonlight and stars in the sky.

At this point, Yu Chigong breathed a sigh of relief: "Retreat first, find a place to camp!"

"Yes!"

This "caravan" left quietly under the clear moonlight.

In the next few days, Yu Chigong was not in a hurry to return to Datang.

He still sent people to linger in this area to observe the movements of this tribe.

Three days later, after confirming that the tribe would not leave immediately, he took his men on their way home.

Along the way, they also encountered some large, medium and small tribes.

In Yu Chigong's team, there were still some unused corpses.

Eggs can't be put in one basket, and Yu Chigong is naturally well versed in this truth after leading troops for many years.

Large and small fragments of the virus were sprinkled all the way on the grassland by him.

"General, didn't the Immortal Master say that rinderpest does not spread to humans? Why are we still not allowed to come forward?"

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens!"

"..."

"Don't worry, if you get sick, His Majesty will ask the immortal master for help for you."

"The general said so, the brothers are at ease."

"If rescue fails, your family will receive the best care."

"That's really thanks to the general and His Majesty..."

Obviously, the worries of these soldiers were superfluous, until they returned to the territory of Datang, their bodies were still healthy, and their food was delicious.

And a terrible disaster began to brew on the grassland.

……

In Dingxiang City, in the tent of the Turkic teeth, Ashina Dubi, also known as Jieli Khan, was listening to the report of the subordinates, and his heart was filled with anger.

"Bastard!"

"The bastards of the Tiele tribe!"

"Who can tell me that our warriors can defeat even the Tang army, but they have nothing to do with these bastards?"

This fleshy man's eyes widened at this moment, and his messy beard was covered with spittle, obviously in extreme rage.

Zhishisili was also in the hall at this time, seeing Khan's loss of composure, he couldn't help admonishing:
"Khan, the Tiele tribe is also a Turkic people. You might as well send someone to appease them first, and promise to treat them favorably. I think they will be able to find their way back."

The leaders of the Turkic aristocratic tribes such as the Ashide tribe, the Sharituli tribe, and the Bayan tribe also echoed at this moment.

Ashina's aggressive tyranny is the biggest factor affecting Turkic stability.

At this time, a person in the tent spoke:

"Khan, these untouchables of the Tiele tribe dare to resist you. They should send more troops to let them know your majesty!"

Everyone frowned and turned their eyes to the source of the voice.

The appearance of this person is completely different from that of many Turkic and Hu people in the tent, and he clearly looks like a person from the Central Plains.

This person is the famous "Tang traitor" in the history of Tang Dynasty, Zhao Deyan.

He was originally a local official in the Sui Dynasty, and after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, he became a local governor.

He was also a henchman of Prince Li Jiancheng. After the Xuanwumen Incident, he defected to the enemy and came to Turkic territory, where he became a think tank of Jieli Khan.

Calling him a family slave with three surnames is definitely not an exaggeration.

Although this person is a traitor of the Tang Dynasty, he has made "great contributions" to the Tang Dynasty.

Because Zhao Deyan's political ability is average, and he is good at flattering people, so he made Ashina very happy to coax him.

He applied the centralization system of the Tang Dynasty to the regime of the tribal alliance of the Turks.

As a Khan, Ashina naturally hoped that the more power he had in his hands, the better, so he entrusted Zhao Deyan with a heavy responsibility.

It is also this set of onerous government orders that gradually dissatisfied the large and small tribes in the Turkic territory, and planted the root of the demise of the Turks.

It can be said that the rebellion of Tie Le's nine surnames has nothing to do with him.

So when he heard the words of Zhishisili and many tribal leaders, how could he sit still?

"Yeah." Jieli nodded in satisfaction, "Then send another [-] troops! Let these Tiele tribes know that the Turks are still as aggressive as I, Ashina!"

In fact, Xie Li originally had this idea in his heart, so when Zhao Deyan took this flattery, he immediately adopted it.

Zhishisili and the others wanted to persuade them again, but Jieli stared back at them.

"There is one more thing. I heard that Tang Guo made some kind of bank note. Do you know about it?"

Zhao Deyan immediately replied: "I have heard that the Tang Dynasty gave a lot of benefits to the Turkic merchants. The people of Tang can only buy 100 taels of goods from us with 90 taels of silver notes!"

"Not only that, but when our people buy goods from the Tang Dynasty, they can buy 90 taels for 100 taels!"

"It must be that the Tang people are afraid of Khan, and they are showing their favor to you!"

Zhao Deyan took advantage of the victory and pursued, and made another flattery, which made Jieli finally calm down and laughed heartily:

"Hahaha, the people of Tang Dynasty are vulnerable. Back then on the banks of the Weishui River, what could Li Shimin do? Couldn't he just swallow his anger?"

"It's ridiculous to come up with these banknotes now!"

Zhi Shili frowned and said: "Khan, this may be a trick of the Tang people, we must investigate!"

"I think this should be banned!"

Although he lost his mind and could not see through the crisis behind the banknote, he knew the truth of "If you want to take it, you must give it first".

The relationship between Datang and Turks was not so harmonious.

To say that the people of Tang were afraid of them is really fanciful.

At the beginning, he went deep into Chang'an alone, but he almost gave his life there.

What happened on the banks of the Weishui River was not as understated as Jieli said.

In the past, Yu Chigong defeated the Turkic forwards, beheaded more than a thousand, and captured the Turkic generals alive.

Later, Li Shimin took only six people and went to the bank of the Weishui River in person, which made Xieli bewildered.

Zhi Shi Si Li heard about these things later, and couldn't help admiring the courage of the Great Tang Emperor.

Looking at these bank notes now, I feel a sense of crisis inexplicably, like a light on my back.

It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, several barbarians jumped out and immediately opposed his statement.

Seeing these barbarians, whether they are obsessed with thinking, or a group of Turkic nobles, they feel even more dissatisfied.

Over the years, Jieli Khan has entrusted these Hu people from the Western Regions with important tasks, but he has often alienated the native Turkic tribes.

And these barbarians are businessmen themselves, so they are not indifferent to bank notes.

These light and fluffy papers will greatly reduce their loss in the process of doing business, and they can also grab more benefits from the Tang people. How could they be willing to let Xieli ban this matter?

Unsurprisingly, Xieli once again rejected his suggestion of losing his mind.

After the discussion ended, Zhi lost his mind and walked out of the tent with a lot of sorrow.

Beside him were the leaders of some large Turkic tribes, all of whom had strange looks in their eyes.

Behind them, the voices of Xieli, the group of Hu merchants and Zhao Deyan talking and laughing drifted in the wind.

Floating to the ears of these Turkic nobles, floating to their hearts.
