The weather is getting colder, but the snow has not yet fallen dry and cold. When the tent comes out, the wind blows on the face like a knife cutting.
After learning that most of the Turkic tribes retreated to the northern part of the desert, the Tang army and its servants stopped moving, but there was no sign of training.
Early in the morning, Xue Chongxun might have reported to the remnants of Uluo Guardian's remnants to the grassland to see him coming. Xue Chongxun immediately said to his left and right: Uluo Guardian must have come to ask for restoration of the country.
The staff members had no good impression of Uluo's guardians. In fact, in this war, they were not only not considered enemies of the Tang Dynasty, but even allies, but pig-like allies were even more troublesome than powerful enemies.
In the early stage of the war, Uro protected his men and made great contributions without waiting for the Tang Dynasty to agree, and then he sent troops westward to take advantage of the situation. Unexpectedly, he met the Khitan cavalry and was defeated halfway, and instead was taken advantage of the situation and lost his territory. Xue Chongxun's ministers in the army thought that they were the ones who died and could not be resentful.
But when the war was won, Uro's guardians came to petition as loyal to the Tang Dynasty.
Sure enough, the envoy cried bitterly when he saw Xue Chongxun, telling how Uluohu was loyal to the Tang Dynasty. He had no contribution and had worked hard. How could he let the Khitan, who had betrayed the court and helped the Turks occupy his territory?
That's true...
Xue Chongxun nodded and said that he was dealing with it casually and could not refuse flatly, which was really a headache for Uluo's guardians.
Just because Xue Chongxun has pursued the foreign vassal policy since he came to power, it is to prohibit big fish from eating small fish, and the stronger vassal states and tribes cannot annex the surrounding small states at will, in order to prevent new forces around China that can threaten the border. In the past, Nanzhao rashly sent troops to attack the Heman tribes despite the imperial ban, so the court sent troops to intervene and prevent their development; at the same time, it tried to differentiate the large forces as much as possible, and divide and govern them to prevent one side from becoming bigger.
The banner of this national policy is naturally to eliminate violence, safeguard the good, protect the weak, and allow all countries to live in harmony. However, the starting point is to consolidate the rule of the Central Plains dynasty.
For this reason, Xue Chongxun certainly could not recognize the Khitan's annexation of Uluohu, nor could he refuse his request, otherwise the national policy and policy orders would be contradictory and could not be justified.
Xue Chongxun had no choice but to say to the envoy: You are temporarily settled in the camp, and wait for me to summon the Khitan envoy to mediate the aftermath, and then find a solution after discussion.
After the envoy went out, Xue Chongxun talked about this with the ministers. Wang Changling said bluntly: Can the territory that the Khitans eat can be easily returned?Whether we agree or not, they will definitely not withdraw their troops from Urogu.In addition, General Du agreed to the conditions of the Khitans for the sake of the war, and they made even more remarks, and I am afraid that anything they say to them would be in vain.
After hearing this, Du Xian asked for guilt: I failed to consider it for a long time and gave the Khitan people a real reason and asked the prince to sue him.
Xue Chongxun disagreed and said: Your approach is not wrong. Defeating the main force of the Turks was the most important thing at that time. It doesn’t matter if you leave any trouble.
Zhang Jiuling clasped his fists and said: This time, the expedition of the Turkic treasury is huge, and there should be no wars this year. The prince should take rest and rest as his national policy, so he cannot force the Khitans with martial arts, otherwise it will be another war that cannot be easily won; but it is not advisable to admit that the Khitans have Urogua and lose the court's trust.Only now, the only way is to nominally refuse to admit that the Khitan possesses the Uro protected land, and in essence, they acquiesced their activities in the local area.Taking this compromise as a stopgap measure, it is best to stabilize the northeastern border.
Xue Chongxun pondered for a long time and did not agree with Zhang Jiuling's suggestion.
He had another consideration, and wanted the Khitans to recognize his status as the leader in the near-coming alliance. If they cheated on the Khitans in the division of interests, they would not necessarily be willing to respect Xue Chongxun as the leader in the division of interests.
The attitude of a country may not be sincere, but it is difficult to change your words easily as long as you make a public statement, so the Khitans' statements also made Xue Chongxun unable to underestimate it.
Therefore, the Uluo Guardian could not get the result immediately, but the treatment in the Tang army camp was good, and it was delicious and served well. During dinner, the messenger enjoyed two dishes and one soup, which was the same level as Xue Chongxun's meal.
This is not a matter of etiquette. Xue Chongxun himself asked for it in simplicity, and he would never finish it if he had too much.
After dinner, the Turkic princess Ashinazhuo came to meet. She came to apologize for the cruel things done by the Turks. Judging from the application, she was very sincere and felt guilty.
Seeing this, Xue Chongxun said: This matter has nothing to do with you. I will lead my troops to attack those unjust people who harm innocent people.
Ashinazhuo looked yearning: I respect the Han people because you pay attention to the distinction between righteousness and black and white, and pursue a prosperous era of peace and harmony. I heard that Chang'an did not close his doors at night and did not pick up any leave at night, right?
When it comes to this, Xue Chongxun naturally thinks of Emperor Taizong of Tang, and this is probably the case with the Zhenguan rule he promoted.
He couldn't help but smile like a self-deprecating smile: The princess thinks us too perfectly and simply, and of course, it is necessary to make an effective order.But the respect Taizong received was based on his outstanding martial arts and a series of interests. If it weren't for the victory of several wars, also known as "children's money and silk can be given to them", how could he get the honorary title of Tian Khan by virtue of his great righteousness?
Asunazhuo looked at him thoughtfully.
Seeing that there were no outsiders beside him, he couldn't help but sigh: This time, the united nations and tribes in various countries were just because of the brutal and unkindness of the Mochu regime?Just talk about the Khitans, who were eager to get rid of Mochu Khanting's control, were watching on the wall. When the Turks were defeated from the south of the Mo, they hurriedly raised their troops to respond, not only wanted to occupy the Uluo protection land, but also wanted to get a share of the interests in the south of the Mo.Other tribes are not much better, so the so-called righteousness is just that.
Ashinazhuo couldn't help but say with some sympathy: No matter what, you have won and been respected by all races, and you should be happy. Why do you always have to be so worried... What can make you happy?
Xue Chongxun was stunned and said with a smile: Why don’t you stay tonight?
Ashinazhuo hurriedly said: What you said cannot go back on your word!
Xue Chongxun glanced at her bulging breasts and long hair draped over her shoulders. For some reason, the long hair always implied that he thought of sex, so he swallowed a mouthful and said shamelessly: I haven't touched a woman for several months, you can just try it.
Ashinazhuo suddenly blushed, he lowered his head and said, "I'm leaving, and he quickly turned around and left."
Xue Chongxun did not force her in the end. I don’t know if it was because Ashinazhuo made him feel cute, or because he had been familiar with each other for many days and was not easy to start, but in short, he gave up.
……
Xue Chongxun did not agree with Zhang Jiuling's compromise policy, regarding refusal to recognize the Khitan's rule over Uroku.
From this, only Su Jin can see that the mysterious one is the only one, because the leader’s plan is the suggestion made by Su Jin, and there are very few people who know the inside story. Of course, others cannot guess Xue Chongxun’s intention out of thin air.
One day, Su Jin came into the tent and met Xue Chongxun and asked: The forces of the Turkic Khanate were expelled from the south of the desert. Who should be the owner of this area in the future?
Xue Chongxun casually said: The imperial court should reset the Shanyu Protectorate in the southern Turkic court and send troops to garrison.As conquerors in the southern desert area, we are naturally the leader of this place.
Su Jin shook his head and said: After the Shanyu Protectorate was placed in Heisha City, the situation would still be the same as other Protectorate Offices outside the pass. It was nothing more than just a few military strongholds, which played the role of monitoring military affairs within the jurisdiction. Perhaps he could get some taxes from the locals' agricultural and animal husbandry operations, but he could not truly control this land.The reason is that since ancient times, the Han people mainly focus on farming, and it is not convenient to explore such nomadic lands. The people are the ones in all directions. Without a foundation, they cannot be considered the real owner of the land.
After hearing this, Xue Chongxun thought he was kind and nodded and said: In this way, it can be foreseeable that one nomadic tribe was expelled, and another nomadic tribe could only be replaced by another nomadic tribe.
That's exactly that.
Su Jin said in a deep voice, I have been thinking about this for a long time and believe that the Tiel tribes should gradually replace the Turkic land, and most of their tribes were the former Uighur alliance, so they inevitably became bigger because of this.However, the Uighurs' performance over the past decades was not very hostile to our Tang Dynasty. They made great contributions to resisting Tubo in the west and restraining the Turks in the north, but...
Xue Chongxun immediately said in a deep voice: If one is not one of our race, one's will have different hearts. We must never fully trust any foreign race. It would be best if we can join forces, but it is not a wise plan to sit idly by and watch them grow stronger.
The minister's views are the same as those of the prince.
Su Jindao, the Uighurs had too wide power, and the vast seas in the north of the desert had their own activities, and they would extend to the south of the desert to live in our neighbors. Not only did they affect the Western Regions, but in recent years, there were also signs of migrating to the places where the Siveda people lived in the east.Such a huge tribal alliance, even if it is not an enemy, is a potential threat to our dynasty, and we have to be guarded against.
Xue Chongxun said: What kind of good plans does Su's "Shishou" have?
Su Jin said: Although the Uighur tribes are large, they are at a low point now.The three surnames of Tiel in the northwest were just defeated by Mochu's army. The Turkic Khan moved the remaining forces to the north of the Mo and made the surrounding tribes unable to sleep or eat. They could not take into account the expansion of their forces to the south in a short period of time...
The Uighurs have many people and a wide area, but their level of civilization is not as good as ours. I am afraid it is difficult for the talent like Mr. Su who is far-sighted and foresees of the development of the ethnic group.Xue Chongxun interjected.
Su Jin continued: That's right. If we take this opportunity to divide part of the territory in Monan to the Khitan, when the Uighurs enter this place in the future, there will be a situation where one mountain and two tigers guard against each other.Although the Khitans were not tame and had more hostility towards the Central Plains than the Uighurs, they belonged to the Shiwei bloodline, and their language, writing and customs were incompatible with the Uighurs of the Turkic lineage.There are two forces in the southern desert area, which is better for us than a unified force.
Xue Chongxun nodded and said: If you do this, you can exchange Uro Guards for the Khitans in part of the area suitable for ranches in the south of the desert, which is a solution to both sides.What does Mr. Su mean to make such a statement today?
After learning that most of the Turkic tribes retreated to the northern part of the desert, the Tang army and its servants stopped moving, but there was no sign of training.
Early in the morning, Xue Chongxun might have reported to the remnants of Uluo Guardian's remnants to the grassland to see him coming. Xue Chongxun immediately said to his left and right: Uluo Guardian must have come to ask for restoration of the country.
