Li Simo, also known as Ashina Simo, the surname Li was given by His Majesty Li Er.

Since this guy planned the attack on Li Er last time, although he was not beheaded, he didn't get any good results, and he shrank in the Hetao area with a group of Turks who were not close to his grandmother and uncle, and he never came out.

But now Lao Li's order has come down, and all the Turks have moved north, so Li Simo's spring has arrived.

……

"The old minister Li Simo saw His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know what His Highness has to call the old minister?" At the beginning of the day, this guy who was not very popular appeared in the East Palace, nodded his head and bowed respectfully, and put his position very right.

Li Chengqian couldn't see this kind of inferior person the most, and couldn't help frowning: "Straighten up and speak!" ”

"Oh, the old minister obeys the order!"

"How many people are still in the Turks? What are the difficulties of this northward migration? Li Chengqian was very indifferent to people like Li Simo, so he didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and asked straight to the point.

"Back to Your Highness, the Turks still have a population of more than 300,000, and there is no difficulty in moving north, Your Highness Xie cares." Li Simo also knew that he was not welcomed by Li Chengqian, after all, he assassinated Lao Tzu last time, and he almost killed the family who he harmed, and it was already difficult to recover it now.

"Leave 50,000 young and strong, half male and half female, and the palace will prepare 10,000 stone grain for you at the border, are you willing?"

Li Simo wanted to say that he didn't want to, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed again, took a deep breath and said, "Can Your Highness tell me the reason?" 50,000 people is not a small number, and to leave so many people behind, the minister needs a valid reason. ”

"There are too many people, what about the reason that there is not enough food?" Li Chengqian picked up the teacup and said casually.

In ancient times, there has always been a saying that the tea is served to the guest, that is, when the host does not want to continue to chat with the guest, he will take the tea at hand but do not drink it, at this time the guest should get up wisely and leave, otherwise it will only put both parties into an embarrassing situation.

Li Simo was also a Turkic aristocrat anyway, and he also had a certain understanding of some of the cultures of the Central Plains, and even if he didn't understand it back then, after so many years of living under the fence, he also mastered some.

So when he saw Li Chengqian serving tea to send guests, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and got up helplessly to say goodbye.

……

The relationship between people is actually very strange, some people will make people feel good when they meet, and some people will make people disgusted when they meet.

Li Chengqian felt this way about this Turkic nobleman, looking at the back of Li Simo leaving, he couldn't have any good feelings anyway.

He can laugh and deal with traitors like Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu; Songtsen Gampo is such a hero, he can also talk to him; A group of nobles and nobles, he can laugh and scold angrily. But for Li Simo...... He tries to change his attitude towards the man, but ultimately finds it in vain.

……

Not to mention Li Chengqian's feelings about Li Simo, just talk about the Turkic people who left the East Palace.

In fact, Li Simo is not good at flattery, when Jieli Khan was defeated, many of his subordinates defected, only Li Simo has been with him and never abandoned, Li Shimin is also grateful for his loyalty, so he will continue to be in charge of the Eastern Turkic tribes who moved to the Hetao area.

During this period, due to some special reasons, in order to make the people live better, Li Simo once launched a rebellion, that is, the time when Li Chengqian was in danger.

However, later Comrade Li felt that he was not for his own selfish interests, so he let him go and continued to let him be in charge of the Turkic tribes.

But Prince Nai He just didn't like him, and he didn't have anything to do about this kind of thing, thinking of Li Chengqian's request to leave him with 50,000 people, he suddenly felt like a mourner.

"Why the hell is the general sullen? Isn't it worth rejoicing to be able to move north and return to your homeland? The long entourage next to him did not follow Li Simo to meet Li Chengqian, and when he saw him sighing, he couldn't help asking.

"It's good to return to your homeland, but have you ever thought that the Turks are no longer the Turks of the past, Xue Yantuo's strength has already surpassed us after so many years of recuperation, and going back to Monan is not necessarily a good thing." Li Simo shook his head with a wry smile and said slowly in Turkic language.

"But aren't they in civil strife now? Can't we take this opportunity to ......" Chang Sui changed to Turkic with vigilance, and whispered beside Li Simo.

"There will be no such opportunity, the biggest role of our northward migration this time is to become the northern barrier of the Tang Dynasty, if you want to restore the old country, I am afraid that we will immediately face the iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty."

"Then how about we join forces with Xue Yantuo?" Li Simo's long-term brain didn't know how it was long, and he actually came up with such a strange idea.

"Hugh is talking nonsense, the lives of our entire clan are all in the minds of His Majesty the Heavenly Khan, do you want to kill everyone?" Li Simo glared at Chang Sui beside him fiercely, and scolded in a low voice.

Most of the famous Turkic generals such as Ashina Sheer and Zhifu Sili have now returned to the Tang Dynasty, and there are only 50,000 soldiers under him Li Simo who can fight, and less than 100,000 war horses.

After all, the tribes on the grassland are not the same as the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin may not care about the remaining hundreds of thousands of people in his Eastern Turks, but the people of Xue Yantuo will not care, and uniting with them is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger.

So now that he is completely dead now, he has the heart to re-establish the country and compete with the Tang Dynasty, how to satisfy Li Er, how to protect the clansmen, and let the clansmen recuperate is what he wants to do now, it is not easy to meet a 'local tyrant', and he doesn't want to make any mistakes in the middle.

"General, why have you been sullen since you came out of the palace, but what happened?" Chang Sui knew that he was speechless, and after bowing his head slightly to plead guilty, he diverted the topic.

Li Simo was once again reminded by the long entourage beside him, and said with a long sigh: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants me to leave 50,000 young people, and he will exchange it for 10,000 stone of grain." You know, there are not many people in our clan, if you leave 50,000 young and strong, you can't get a foothold in the grassland, even if you have 10,000 stones of grain and grass, what's the use. ”

"What? 50,000 young people, isn't this breaking my Turkic roots? An inexplicable brilliance flashed in Changsui's eyes, but because of the location, Li Simo didn't notice it.

"Yes, the broken root ......"

"General, according to the villain, it is better to go to Your Majesty and tell Your Majesty about this matter. After all, we only have more than 300,000 people, except for those who can fight, if we leave another 50,000 people, we will not be able to defend the northern border of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"We can't go, we can't resist this matter at all, so we can only do it." Li Simo shook his head slowly: "The prince's Western Regions army will soon enter the customs, and the garrison is in the Hetao area, and the generals stationed in the north are also the prince's descendants, if we don't do what he wants, we will ...... in the future."

Li Simo muttered to himself, not so much to listen to Chang Sui, but to listen to himself.

Datang will be inherited by Li Chengqian in the future, no matter what, and it is unknown what the consequences of offending him will be in the future, so although Li Simo is unwilling in his heart, he can only do what he wants in the end.

On the rest of the journey, Li Simo and his long-term entourage fell into silence for a long time, until they returned to their residence, and the two never spoke a word again.

It's just that not long after Li Simo returned to his residence, the chief casually went out again, went around and around in front of an inconspicuous store in Dongshi, looked around vigilantly a few times, and then walked in.

……

"You're here? But what's the news? "There is a hole in the inconspicuous store, and out of the back through the front hall is a small rectangular courtyard, which is decorated with stone tables and stone benches, and a small bamboo forest, and the person who speaks is sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard and fiddling with a guqin.

"Sir, the villain has let you down." Chang Sui bowed cautiously, showing a more respectful appearance than facing Li Simo.

"What's going on, make it clear." The person who fiddled with the guqin didn't even raise his head, but his voice was cold like a cold wind in the wax moon.

The villain tried to say a word today, and found that he didn't want to unite with Xue Yantuo, and it seemed that he really wanted to be a lackey of the Li Tang royal family. Moreover, and today he was summoned into the East Palace by the crown prince, and the prince asked him to leave 50,000 young people. ”

The elder recounted the conversation he had just had with Li Simo on the road, and then honestly stood aside and waited for the instructions of the man sitting on the stone bench.

"There is such a thing, it seems that the one in the East Palace doesn't treat you Turks very well." The person sitting on the stone bench finally gave up fiddling with the guqin in his hand, put it aside, and raised his head to reveal a slightly pale middle-aged face.

The corners of Li Simo's mouth twitched, but he didn't answer, because he really didn't know how to answer.

After waiting for a while, just when Chang Sui felt that his feet were a little numb, the middle-aged man suddenly spoke again: "You go back first, you don't have to come here again in the future." ”

"Uh......" The chief was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to ask why, but then he thought that he seemed to be leaving Chang'an with Li Simo soon, and it seemed that there was really no need to come here.

But, but what will be your own task in the future? This time, the middle-aged man surprisingly didn't tell anything, so he won't use himself in the future? Or is it no longer worth using yourself?

The long entourage who hesitated to leave was a little distracted, and he didn't even notice that two people were following behind him, and the moment he turned a street corner, the bright blade swept past his neck.

Dead people, indeed, don't have to go to that inconspicuous store anymore! nt
