Speaking of which, this Guo Yuanzhen is really unlucky.
Broken Leaf City was the capital of Turgish, and the climate was cold, and the day he went, it was snowing heavily.
It is said that in such a cold weather, you should hurry to the tent to speak.
However, the leader of the Tuqi Shi, Wu Zhile, saw Guo Yuanzhen's bookish face, and had a crooked mind, wanting to give him a dismount.
So, Wu Zhile deliberately talked to Guo Yuanzhen outside the tent, and he had nothing to say, and he talked nonsense all over the world.
People can't look good, in fact, Guo Yuanzhen is not a good stubble, and his physique is much stronger than it seems on the surface. He saw Wu Zhile's thoughts, and secretly thought, if you want to resist frost, then let's try it, anyway, you are older than me, let's see who can't hold it first.
As a result, Guo Yuanzhen stood in the snow and didn't move, and Wu Zhile was indeed frozen and stomped his feet again and again. In the end, Wu Zhile couldn't stand it anymore, so he let Guo Yuanzhen into the tent, and he was well eaten, drunk and entertained, and all the conditions were negotiable.
However, Uzile regrets it now, it's too late! That night, he suffered from the wind chill during the day and developed a high fever, which became a model of pretending to be a fool.
However, the Turgish people did not think that this was self-defeating, but blamed Guo Yuanzhen for deliberately talking to their leader outside the tent on a cold day.
Wu Zhile was sick, and the Tuqi Shi people were full of hostility, so Guo Yuanzhen had no choice but to return to Lanzhou City in disgrace.
However, this was not the end of the story, and two months later, today, the Turgish's credentials arrived.
It is clearly written in this book that Uzhi was strangled to death, and his son Suog succeeded him as the Khan of Turgish.
Suo Ge insisted that it was Guo Yuanzhen who killed his father, and asked Guo Yuanzhen to go to Broken Leaf City in person to mourn.
To be reasonable, no matter what, Guo Yuanzhen is also related to the death of Wu Zhile. It's not impossible for him to go to mourn.
However, Suo Ge somehow learned the news that Cui Geng was going to Liangzhou, and in this letter, he emphasized that he wanted Guo Yuanzhen and Cui Geng to go to condolence together. How? If you Cui Geng can mourn Tubo Zampu, can't you mourn my father?
Belch...... In fact, it's not quite a good thing.
In these years, Tibet, Turkia, and Silla were all considered big countries, and when the lord died, the Central Plains Imperial Court wanted to send people with the status of prime ministers to mourn. However, the sudden ...... With a population of less than one million, it is really not qualified.
Therefore, Guo Yuanzhen didn't want to be told to Cui Geng about this matter, and was ready to solve the matter on his own~.
After listening to this, Cui Geng pondered for a long time, and said, "That Suo Ge didn't say it, if the official didn't go, what would happen to him?" โ
"He said, if you refuse to go, you look down on the Turgish, and he will launch an army of 100,000 to attack the Great Zhou."
Speaking of this, Guo Yuanzhen chuckled lightly and said disdainfully: "Don't listen to his nonsense!" If the Turk really dispatched an army of 100,000, not to mention whether he can beat me or not, he doesn't want his hometown? Which is the fuel-efficient lamp of Tibet or Turkic? โ
Cui Geng said thoughtfully: "What if...... I mean, what if, is he sure that he can handle the Turks and Tibet? โ
"What did you say?" Guo Yuanzhen's heart moved.
Cui Gengdao: "My father-in-law is a silent khan, because he is afraid that his daughter will be wronged, he has not attacked Da Zhou in recent years, but to say that he is not interested in Da Zhou's children's wealth is pure nonsense. What if he made some agreement with the Tuqi Shi to let the Tuqi Shi people attack Zhou, so that he could fish with the water? Don't forget, the Turkishes themselves are a part of the Turkic people, who can tell which is the Turkic and which is the Turkish? โ
"What about Tibet?"
"It's better to guess Tubo. Now is the most dangerous moment for Tibet, and they are happy to make a strong enemy for my Great Zhou, so that my Great Zhou will not care about troublesome with Tibet. Even...... It is very likely that the death of Uzhile was not as simple as dying of illness, but the poisonous hand of one of these two countries, so that my Great Zhou and Turgish would fight against each other. โ
Guo Yuanzhen questioned: "Can't you, Suo Ge is so willing to be a gunman for them?" โ
"Of course not." Cui Geng pointed to the letter and said, "This is probably a temptation. If our Great Zhou responds properly, Suo Ge will not rebel. On the contrary, if you can't say it, you will have to rebel. โ
Guo Yuanzhen thought about it carefully, and this is really the truth.
The princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty have always had a wrong view of Tuqishi, that is, they believe that the people of Tuqishi are dedicated to the Ashina family, and Wuzhile is just a chaotic minister and thief. It is precisely because of this erroneous view that the Ashina Hu Sero in Chang'an is still the Turkish Khan officially recognized by the imperial court.
However, in fact, now the Ashina family has no prestige at all in Turgish, on the contrary, the Suo Ge family is what everyone wants.
The new Khan of Suo Ge was most worried about the Great Zhou's support for Ashina Hu Sero to seize his throne. If he is so agitated by the Tibetans and the Turks, he may want to attack the Great Zhou first.
For today's plan, we must give Suo Ge a big reassurance. This reassuring pill, as the protector of Anxi, can't give it, only Prime Minister Cui Geng is barely qualified.
Thinking of this, Guo Yuanzhen said: "In this case, you still have to go to this Tuqishi?" But over there, how do you explain? โ
Cui Geng shrugged his shoulders and said; "Now it's my Great Zhou who is strong and Tubo is weak, let them wait, why do you have to explain?"
There is another sentence, he didn't say it, and now he has pulled the Tuqi Shi together, which is a huge deterrent to Tubo. The 100,000 troops of the Turk Cavalry, the 200,000 troops of Guo Yuanzhen, and the border of the Chen soldiers, they did not dare to disadvantage themselves.
On the contrary, if the Tuqi Shi and the Great Zhou fought, then the Tubo would be able to concoct themselves without any scruples.
How to choose, do you still need to ask?

Hurry up, move forward lightly, and travel in a hurry for seven or eight days, Cui Geng and the others arrived outside Broken Leaf City.
In fact, Broken Leaf City was built by order of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, and it is one of the four towns in Anxi.
It was only later that Wu Zetian appointed Ashina Hu Sero as the protector of the loyal Lord Khan and Mengchi, and ordered him to appease the Tuqi Shi people, and even took it with him, and gave him Broken Leaf City as a place of governance. At that time, the Western Turks had been wiped out, and the Turkishes were only a large tribe, and they could not yet establish a state.
As a result, this loyal Khan, who relied on mud to go up to the wall, led the Turks to fight a few battles, and was frightened by the Turks and Tibetans and ran back to Chang'an.
Uzil took the opportunity to subdue the Turkish tribe and formally establish the state.
This Broken Leaf City was also confused, from a military town directly under the jurisdiction of the Great Zhou Dynasty to the capital of the vassal state. And this vassal state may rebel at any time.
When you think about it, it's really depressing.
Cui Geng looked up, but saw that the gate of Broken Leaf City was only closed, and the soldiers of Tuqishi on the city wall were fully armed, patrolling back and forth, as if they were facing a great enemy.
As soon as he made a look, Feng Changqing urged him to step forward and said: "The people in the city listen to the truth, the existing Great Zhou Jing Zhaoyin, the water and land transfer envoy, and Cui Geng, the Pingzhang of the Tongluan Taige, and the capital of Anxi protect Guo Yuanzhen, come to mourn the Wuzhile Khan, and let your family Suo Ge Khan go out of the city to greet him!" โ
"Huh? Cui Qingtian is really here? You wait, the little one is going to pass! โ
Cui Geng's name has long been spread all over the world, and the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to slack off, so they hurriedly went down the city wall to report.
The effort was not great, the city gate was wide open, and Suo Ge took the civil and military officials of Tuqi Shi to greet him very warmly.
Entering the city, Cui Geng looked at it and was unexpectedly kind. It turned out that the city was built in imitation of Chang'an City, but the specifications were much smaller. What's more, the residents of this city, although they live together, are still Han Chinese.
Strangely, though...... Isn't it time to hold the funeral of Uzile? What's going on in this city?
Even if it's a funeral, it has to be a few days after the burial.
As if seeing Cui Geng's doubts, Suo Ge explained: "This is the people in the city, preparing for Ben Khan's wedding. โ
The Turks originally had the custom of getting married at funerals, but Cui Geng was not surprised that Suo Ge got married at this time, and asked, "Wedding?" But I don't know who the bride is? โ
"Uh...... It's not decided yet. โ
"What? This is all about preparing for the wedding, why hasn't the bride been decided yet? โ
Suo Ge smiled slightly and said, "Because there are two people who want to become the Khotun of Ben Khan, one is the Tibetan noblewoman Baimarom, and the other is the Turkic noblewoman Nurayi. Everyone is both beautiful and amorous, and carries a rich dowry. Choi Kyung-sang, you say...... Which should Ben Khan marry? โ
