Chapter 923: Tang Envoy Visits
The past does not forget the teacher of the future!
The Turks were repeatedly defeated by Yang Yue's army, and most of the generals did not dare to despise Yang Yue.
"Mr. Wen is reasonable, Yang Yue is cunning and insidious, he did not pour the strength of the country, and he drove his own expedition against Tibet, obviously leaving a backup move, not only secretly guarding against Gelie, but also secretly guarding against the Khan King and the Turks.
We haven't forgotten the three-year covenant with Datang, Yang Yue has worked hard to consolidate Datang's national strength, and I'm afraid I haven't forgotten the covenant with the Turks!"
As he walked forward, Yiran Khan grabbed the reins and said cautiously.
Encountering such a difficult emperor as Yang Yue is the luck of the Tang Dynasty, but it is the misfortune of the Turks.
Fortunately, he put aside his prejudices, and Argus Bing released his previous suspicions, the Yiran Department was integrated into the Turks again, Agus unified the tribe, and he personally supported, in the past two years, the development momentum of each department has been rapid, the right Xian King, the right Gu Li Wang led the troops to continue to expand to the western front, plundered a lot of money and grain, and captured them!
Internally, the Turks' own economy and army are also growing steadily and vigorously.
The sons and daughters of all departments, the generals of all departments, have not forgotten the three-year covenant with the Tang Dynasty, have not forgotten the enmity of Wudinghe, and the two Turkic princesses who were robbed by Yang Yue.
The tribal general, Erlang has been a soldier early, and is always ready to wave his army to the south to avenge the revenge of the Wuding River.
In front of the hunting horse team, Agus had a hideous face, raised his horsewhip, looked like pointing at the country, and said coldly: "Yiran, Yan Xingjun, you must not forget, in recent decades, the states of the Western Regions have been the inherent sphere of influence of our department.
This is not only the only way for tribal merchants to go to the Western Regions, but our department plunders countless people in the Western Regions every year.
Today, the Tang Dynasty and the Tibetans ignore the existence of the Turks, openly fight in the Western Regions, and infiltrate their own forces.
Moreover, the Tang army eradicated Lai Suyuan and recovered Longyou Dao, and Yang Yue would definitely restore the influence of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions one after another, and soon, it would completely threaten the interests of the tribe in the Western Regions.
Yesterday, King Youxian sent a messenger to send back a letter on Kuaima, asking for orders to lead the elite of his headquarters into the Western Regions, expel the Tang army, destroy the treacherous Tuyuhun, and demonstrate the prestige of the Turks.
Yang Yue sent generals to lead the army to fight on the Western Front, and successively mobilized officials, moved the people to the Northeast, Tuntian, Tun Soldiers, and strengthened the economy, it did not take too long, the Northeast was stable, and all parts of the country would become the granary of the Tang Dynasty, and the national strength of the Tang Dynasty would reach a higher level.
Our department is gradually losing its influence in the Western Regions, and there is a Khitan threat on the eastern front, and the Tang Dynasty threatens, and the living space is getting smaller and smaller.
The sudden rise of the Tang Dynasty like spring bamboo shoots caused changes in the Turkic pattern on all sides, and this speed was still beyond Agus's expectations.
Besides, Yang Yue is leading the Tang Dynasty to cultivate obscurity, and wants to accumulate a lot!
The Turks are developing and growing, but unfortunately they are surrounded by enemies, and unless they expand rapidly to the Western Regions, there is no way to break through the current predicament.
As the king of the Turkic Khan, Argus felt pressured and did not want to give up hope of the rise of the tribe.
"Great Khan, it's really not good, taking advantage of the Tang army to fight with Tubo in the west, our department launched an attack in advance to fight against the Tang Dynasty, but as long as our department is strong, we must not let the Tang side dominate!"
Yi Ran clenched his fists, before Yang Yue ascended the throne, the vast territory of the Tang Dynasty was a flock of sheep, after Yang Yue ascended the throne, he reformed vigorously, and with the improvement of the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, he became a group of wolves, let it grow, and the consequences were unimaginable.
"Yiran Khan, the king of the Khan doesn't know the reason that raising tigers is troublesome, and the tail is difficult to get rid of, how can Yang Yue use the silk between my department and the Khitan to engage in a balanced strategy, if my department raids the Tang Dynasty, it will inevitably attract the Tang Dynasty and the Khitan from both sides, the Khan King should know that our department has no strength, and fight against the Tang Dynasty and the Khitan alone, and the King of Gelie of Tibet is encroaching on the territory of our department in the Western Regions, and the grievances between each other are deepening, and my department wants to eradicate the Tang Dynasty, and the iron needs to be hard!"
Wen Boyan said loudly, the Turks were divided, and the best opportunity to conquer the Tang Dynasty was missed, but now the tribes are unified, but the Tang Dynasty is gradually becoming stronger.
The opportunity is fleeting, and I regret that I missed it.
Agus didn't have time to make a decision, so his soldiers from afar came quickly, arrived at Agus's side, jumped off his war horse and saluted: "Great Khan, the Tang Emperor sent a delegation to come, and he is waiting for the Khan King in the royal court."
"Yang Yue sent a mission?"
Agus exclaimed, unusually surprised.
Yi Ran, Yan Marching, Wen Boyan also muttered secretly, and couldn't help but look at Agus.
Since Yang Yue and Agus met in Fengzhou, the two major forces have remained calm with each other, there is no war in the border area, and commerce has gradually developed, but they have held their breath in each other's hearts and have never sent envoys to communicate.
Now Yang Yue eradicated Lai Suyuan, recovered Longyou, and in the northeast Tuntian, and opened up a new source of money and food, the national strength is thriving, it should meet the Turkic soldiers sooner or later, why suddenly send an embassy to come?
Agus hesitated for a short time, raised his horsewhip and drank, and ordered: "Go, go back and take a look, see what medicine is in Yang Yue's gourd?"
Previously, Yelu Yao sent a delegation to unite the Turks to invade the Tang Dynasty in the south, and today, the Tang Dynasty sent a delegation to come, isn't it ready to unite the Turks to completely eradicate the Khitan?
Agus was suspicious and eager to understand Yang Yue's thoughts, if Yang Yue wanted to unite with the Turks to eradicate the Khitan, he was very willing to unite with Yang Yue to completely eradicate the hidden dangers in the eastern Turkic region.
Yi Ran, Yan Xingjun, Wen Boyan followed closely behind Agus, Yan Xingjun muttered: "What does Yang Yue mean by sending an envoy here, Mr. Wen, do you think he has any conspiracy?"
"Yang Yue has always been unprofitable, and now the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is thriving, except for the Tang army fighting against Tubo in the west, there is no problem, if a certain guess is not, Yang Yue sent an envoy to come, most of them to discuss the matter of the west with the Khan!" Wen Boyan said loudly.
"Things in the West are a bit complicated!" Iran Khan muttered.
A large area of territory in the Western Regions was once the territory of the Turks, but now, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo are fighting in the inherent sphere of influence of the Turks, which is simply an insult to the Turks!
The group hurriedly returned to the royal court, and Agus was in front of the sweat tent, and when he saw the king of Shu leading the delegation to come, his face couldn't help but show a slight shock!
Two years ago, the king of Shu colluded with the Turks to try to seize Yang Yue's throne, and after the generals defected, it was rumored that the king of Shu was imprisoned by Yang Yue in the past two years, and there was never a sign of activation.
Today, the King of Shu suddenly came to the royal court, which was really unexpected!
The contradiction between him and Yiran Khan is very similar to that of Yang Yue's brothers, Yiran Khan led the tribe to surrender, but because of his own strength, he was seriously injured and was forced by the Khitan, so he had to ask for help from himself.
What happened between Yang Yue and Yang Xiao's brothers, this is definitely not the King of Shu who took the initiative to surrender to Yang Yue, could it be that Yang Yue is generous, regardless of his previous suspicions?
