Ashina Xian is the son of the Western Turkic Xingxi Death Khan Ashina Yuanqing, who was implicated when the cool officials came to Junchen to kill Ashina Yuanqing, and was exiled to Yazhou for 11 years before returning to the Western Regions.

After Da Shi colluded with the Tibetan invasion of Pakhana, he was crowned as the chief of the Yuandao march and assisted Zhang Xiaosong's soldiers in Pakhana.

When the Western Turks were in their heyday, they were divided into ten parts, the left compartment number was five Lu Lu, and the right compartment number was lost five crossbows, after being conquered by the Tang Dynasty, the various divisions were divided, and even attacked each other, some were attached to the Tang Dynasty, some were attached to the Tibetans, and some were wandering around, which seemed very messy.

Ashina Xian claims to command the five army of the army, and it sounds like he has inherited half of the army of the original Western Turks, but in fact, the army is lower than that of the Sulu Khan, and there are only a little more than 100,000 people who control the strings.

To put it bluntly, the Tang Dynasty's support and re-use of Ashina Xian was to prevent Sulu Khan from becoming dominant, and specially set up an opponent for him to contain him.

Zheng Peng moved from the teaching workshop to the battlefield, and was treated coldly by many people in the Western Regions, many people spoke and did things, with a kind of contempt from the heart, I thought it was already very embarrassing, but I didn't expect to lead the team from Qiuzi and arrive in Tingzhou, only to find out what is the real cold reception.

After marching all the way, after arriving in Tingzhou, Zheng Peng went straight to Tingzhou Metropolitan Protectorate to find Ashina, and before they met, he first asked Ashina to give a dismount: closed-door soup.

"Zheng Jianjun, I'm sorry, the Khan is presiding over a very important meeting, and when the Khan finishes the meeting, the little one will report to him, and I ask Zheng Jianjun to forgive me a little." The soldiers guarding the door read Zheng Peng's letter, and after asking Zheng Peng's intention, he motioned for Zheng Peng to wait outside the door.

Whatever he said, he was also a dignified deputy supervisor, or appointed by the emperor, and it was already too much for him not to come out to greet him, and he didn't even let in the door.

Even Lu Xiu of the Anxi Protectorate and Zhang Xiaosong, the imperial army and imperial history, did not have such a big shelf.

Lu Jin, who was following behind, was angry and accused loudly: "Dare, this is Deputy Zheng Supervising Army, go to Tingzhou to supervise the army, hurry up and inform your Khan, if you miss a major matter, you are the only one who asks." ”

It also depends on the object of the shelf, Zheng Peng is not here to report for duty, but to supervise the army here, and a small soldier who guards the door dares to have this attitude, which is too much.

"The Khan has an order, this meeting is very important, non-emergency matters must not be disturbed, wait until the Khan has a meeting, if there is a mistake, let the Khan deal with it." The soldier said without humility or arrogance.

"You..." Lu Jin was speechless for a moment.

Seeing that his accomplice was at a loss, Qian Erbao wanted to teach a lesson, Zheng Peng motioned for him to step back, and then calmly led people to the restaurant on the side to eat.

I don't understand why Ashina dedicated himself to putting up a shelf, the dignified deputy supervisor is not good-looking to eat closed-door soup, anyway, he is tired and hungry after running for most of the day, and he will make plans after eating and drinking.

"Khan, Zheng Peng left and went to the Songyue Tower next to the Duhu Mansion to eat." The little soldier who sternly rejected Zheng Peng just now reported respectfully in Ashinaxian's study.

Ashina put down the book in his hand and said with some surprise: "Oh, what is Zheng Peng's reaction?" Angry? ”

"No, he was very calm on the surface, he didn't say a word, one of his subordinates was not convinced, shouted a few words, and his subordinates wanted to do something, let Zheng Jianjun stop him, and then go to Songyue Tower to eat."

"I can't imagine that this Zheng Peng is so calm, well, if he can't hold his breath, he won't catch a big fish in Khotan, it's interesting." As he spoke, Ashina Xian stood up and paced in the study with his hands behind his back.

"Khan, the little one has something unknown."

Ashina Xian glanced at his henchman, and said lightly: "Gerwei, you are asking, why do you want to embarrass this deputy supervisor, right?" ”

Gerway nodded and said: "Yes, respected Khan, Zheng Peng is the deputy superintendent, or is it appointed by His Majesty to force the ministers, he can directly face the saint, people like him, just don't please him, don't offend him, if he says bad things about the Khan in front of the Tang Emperor, it will not be good." ”

The khan offered by Ashina was sealed by the Tang Emperor, and the soldiers and people under his command were all under the protection of the Tang Dynasty, deliberately embarrassing the prison army, isn't this asking for hardship?

Thinking back then, the former Khan, who said that he would kill him, was Ashina Xian, and was exiled to the remote Yazhou with a paper order, wasn't the hardships that the Khan endured enough?

"Gerwei, you are my confidant and my sister's husband, there are no outsiders here, let me tell you, I did this, on the surface, I offended this Zheng Jianjun, but in fact, I am for our Lu Wubu." Ashina Xian suddenly said in a shocking voice.

"This ....."

Seeing that Gerwei couldn't figure it out, Ashina sighed and said slowly: "I can come back here again, that is, the Tang Dynasty doesn't want the Sulu Khan to sit big, let me contain it, when the Turks fell to the country, each of the ten departments was its master, at that time Tubo had an advantage in the Western Regions, and the Sulu Khan chose the Tang Dynasty, not because the conditions of the Tang Dynasty were good, but because the Tang Dynasty had the shallowest foundation in the Western Regions at that time, and the Tang Dynasty had the least binding force on him. ”

"In recent years, the strength of the Turk Shi Department has increased greatly, it is said that Sulu Khan is also a little floating, with the practice of the Tang Dynasty, he will definitely be beaten in the near future, our existence is to contain him, look at it, whoever gets close to him will definitely be unlucky, now you understand my intentions, right?"

To be able to become Ashinaxian's confidant, his IQ is not much lower, Gerwei quickly understood, and immediately said: "I understand, Zheng Peng and Sulu Khan know each other, and they are also very close to Sulu Khan's daughter Lan Duo, by the way, I also saw Lan Duo following behind Zheng Peng just now, deliberately letting the surnamed Zheng eat behind him, that is, to dissociate himself from Tuqi Shi, right?" ”

Ashina Xian nodded with satisfaction, patted Gerwei's shoulder and said, "It's good to understand, when you encounter something, you have to think about it more often, don't do everything at a time." ”

"Understood" Gelway clenched his fists and said: "Sulu Khan looks down on us, this time it is just a good time to compete, and let the emperor of the Tang Dynasty see who is more reliable." ”

Ashina Xian was not as belligerent as Gerwei, but sighed softly.

This time, the main force is the tribes in the Western Regions that depend on the Tang Dynasty, whether they win or lose, their strength will be greatly damaged, and the Tang Dynasty is suspected of killing people with a knife.

lost the battle, and his face was dull; After winning the war, you have to beware of the suspicion of the court.

"Well said, not only for the sake of face, but also for the sake of losing face, those trophies can't let the Turks take the lead" Ashina Xian finished speaking, and quickly spoke again: "When the surname Zheng finishes eating, invite him in, after all, he is His Majesty's envoy, and you can't go too far with him."

"Understood."

When Ashina gave instructions to Gelwei, Lu Jin, who was waiting for the food to be served, slapped the table and said indignantly: "It's really hateful, I actually blocked Zheng Jianjun from the door, and I didn't have a cup of tea, it's too bullying." ”

"That's it" Xu Shan echoed: "The news of our arrival has already been sent in advance, this is his territory, what does he not know?" It is clearly a deliberate dismount. ”

Everyone expressed their opinions, all expressing their dissatisfaction with Ashinaxian.

Cao Feng also said a little depressedly: "These Tibetan tribes are not as well-behaved as our Tang Dynasty soldiers, they are all angry, not to mention a prison army, and sometimes they don't even pay attention to the decrees of the imperial court." ”

"Forget it, maybe he's really busy, what's the hurry." Zheng Peng said calmly.

People who have the ability are usually very individual, and Ashina's life is also full of ups and downs, no wonder he is so calm.

Lan Duo, who didn't speak on the side, suddenly said with some embarrassment: "Zheng Peng, maybe... This matter is related to me. ”

"Huh? Something to do with the county lord? Why? Zheng Peng asked with some curiosity.

Lan Duo whispered: "My Abba and Ashina Khan, have always been at odds, in the past few years, for grazing grassland, the court has to mediate several times, not to mention anything else, now the two tribes are not intermarried, it may be that their people found out that I was with you, so they showed you a look." ”

Zheng Peng smiled when he heard this, and said disappreciatively: "It's okay, it's not that I don't see it, it's just that I'll see you later, don't mind, the dishes are served, I'm hungry, eat, eat." ”

As early as hundreds of years ago, the rulers of the Central Plains consciously divided and isolated these nomadic tribes, and tried and tested, and those nomads were not stupid, but they knew that they were being used and were still driven by painstaking efforts, the reason is very simple, they could not let go of the hatred and contradictions in their hearts, and they did not have the tolerance of the Central Plains people.
