The next morning, the nobles of various Turkic tribes met at the royal tent, and Mochu was ready to withdraw his troops.
So far, they have robbed the places near Yinshan, and there is not much oil and water. If they want to expand their income, they must first remove the three cities and towns. If they can do so, the entire Hetao area will not be able to escape the ravages of the Turkic soldiers...
Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to get rid of three important towns.
A consensus has been reached for abandoning Anbei Town, but some nobles were not satisfied with the harvest, so they said in front of Mochuo: We gathered many tribes to form an army. As a result, the first batch of food and grass obtained from Zhang Renyuan and the gains from this robbery were not enough to consume the army. This trip was a loss-making business.
Someone echoed: Since we have all gathered all the troops and have broken up with the Tang Dynasty, we should go east and break up a few prefectures and counties on Hebei Road, and maybe we can gain more.
Just as everyone was talking, I suddenly heard: The three cities sent the Tang envoys to come.
The generals started talking again, and they sent someone to threaten us?If you don’t have any speculation, you will be fine.
Mochu poked the ground with his scepter and said quietly: Call in first and hear what they are going to say.
……
A small group of people came from the Tang Dynasty. The envoy was a civil servant, the officer of the Guanzhong army named He Xu.
Everyone in the other ten are warriors, who should be the guards responsible for the safety of the road. The general who led the army was a Guanzhong military captain named Li Chu Police.
They were discovered by the Turkic scouts and taken outside the Turkic military camp. They were told that the guards and martial artists were not allowed to go in. In the end, they only allowed civil servant He Xu and the captain Li Chujian to enter to see the Turkic Khan.
Both of them looked thirty years old, and the people who worked with Xue Chongxun seemed to be relatively young.
The captain Li Chujian didn't seem to have a good temper. When the Turkic soldiers were about to come up to seize his sword, the guy suddenly pressed it on the scabbard, which scared the two Turkic soldiers coming up.
The Turks around immediately pulled out their scimitars, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
He Xu hurriedly said: First police officer, stop!We are envoys, why did we come?
Police officer Li Chu took off his sword and said: I will hand it over myself.After he was disarmed, the Turks put their swords back and looked at them vigilantly.
Fortunately, Mochu Khan's tent ordered to see these two people, and He Xu was holding the official rituals of the Tang Dynasty in his hand, so the Turks were not too rude.
The camp where the Turkic king's tent was very wide, so the two were allowed to cavalry, but they were surrounded by a group of fully armed people and could not do anything.
After walking for a while, he suddenly saw the murderous anger on his face, and He Xu followed his gaze...
I saw an inhuman scene on the grass not far away.
Some naked female corpses were tied to wooden stakes with their heads hanging down. They were obviously frozen to death. There were still some locally burnt female corpses lying on the ground, all of which were disheveled and radiated without any hair. And a distance from the place, there were still many corpses of men in Hanfu, with the dead tied their hands behind their backs and arrows were inserted into them.
He Xu and others could think that these dead bodies must be captured by ordinary Han people.
It was still morning. The messy scenes that the Turks had been struggling hard last night had not been enough to clean up, but they were seen by the Tang envoy.
Captain Li gritted his teeth and cursed: I'm talking about his damn peace!
He Xu hurriedly advised: Your temper should be changed, be careful and don’t forget where we are now!Being angry is useful, what do we officials do with you soldiers?Besides, there are considerations for the top peak, and everything is focused on the overall situation.The King of Jin is definitely not a surrender. He must have a reason to discuss peace.Even so, many people in the court and the country have already said that he is more powerful and powerful.We just need to do our own duties well.
Captain Li sneered: Brother He is not surprised when he changes, and he admires him.
He Xu said seriously: What is this dead person? The three cities have not yet been destroyed, how many people can die?When I was a judge in Hebei Road, the prefecture yamen was defeated by the barbarians from the north. They were plundered at one time and the people were scattered in the city, rural areas and mountains... The scene you see now is not even as good as the slaughter of a village.
Li Zhengwei said: It is really important for the brothers in the army to see with their own eyes. Only when they go to the battlefield did they know how to kill these dog gods.
He Xu said with concern: The Turks here may not understand Chinese. It’s okay for you to say these words now. After a while, you can get into the tent, just stand and stop talking!I am the official, let me talk!Don’t mess up the matter, it will be useless. Use your brain more often, what can we do in the enemy camp? Don’t go to the battlefield to fight. There is no need to show off in such a place.
The two were escorted for a while and finally arrived at a tent that was taller than the surrounding felt tents, which seemed to have arrived.
The Turks who sent them in to report, after a while, He Xu was pushed and the two walked inside.
After entering the tent, I saw a group of disheveled hair sitting on the left and right, all staring at them, with very unfriendly eyes. They seemed to be chopped into a terrifying atmosphere like meat paste at any time.
He Xu held the two words "Tang Dynasty" in his hand tightly, and walked in with his back straight and his head raised his chest with his head raised, his expression calmly, which was very different from his peaceful and elegant manner just now.
When Li Zhengwei, who was walking behind him, saw the scene and saw He Xu's appearance, he became more admirable to the civil servant.
He Xu, the envoy of the King of Jin in the Tang Dynasty, visited Khan.He Xu owed slightly and said in a stern manner.
Suddenly a Turkic man shouted in Chinese: You Han people don’t understand the superiority and inferiority of superiority?Kneel down and speak!
He Xu looked straight over: Khan is the minister of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and I am the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, why should I kneel down!?
The Turkic man stood up in anger. At this time, Mochu raised his arm and waved it gently before the man sat down angrily.
Mochu said: I just finished fighting with the King of Jin yesterday. Today, the King of Jin will send you to you. What are you doing?
Discuss peace talks.He Xu was very calm when he said this.
Mochuo immediately looked at his subordinates, and everyone burst into laughter after a moment.
He Xu said: The King of Jin is willing to reconcile with Khan. We will repair the misunderstandings caused before. As long as the conditions are right, we will be very sincere. But if Khan thinks that he can be an enemy of our Tang Empire, it is meaningless to reconcile and have to decide the outcome, then the King of Jin can only be with him to the end.
Reconciliation is not a bad thing... Mo smiled, but a few years ago, the Tang Dynasty promised to marry Princess Jinshan to our Turkic Khanate. Why hasn't it been fulfilled yet?
He Xu said angrily: Princess Jinshan has long changed Princess Yuyao to Princess Jin. Khan is trying to humiliate this matter again?Since that's the case, please let me go and the King of Jin will lead a large army to meet the Khan one day!
What's the matter with Tang?
Mochu smiled sinisterly, it was obvious that Ben Khan was wronged and humiliated. Look at what you said, it seemed that King Jinshan was wronged. Princess Jinshan clearly agreed to marry Ben Khan first. King Jin killed his father and uncle halfway, and stole the woman. He was still very aggrieved after doing these things...
So far, they have robbed the places near Yinshan, and there is not much oil and water. If they want to expand their income, they must first remove the three cities and towns. If they can do so, the entire Hetao area will not be able to escape the ravages of the Turkic soldiers...
