Yi Ding, change Ding also. Ding has been a symbol of power since ancient times, and Yi Ding is a leader with the highest power. Now what Wang Xuance and Zhu Lafeng have to do is to change the Western Turks with a supreme leader, and be able to maintain the stability of the Western Turks. And Wang Xuance and Zhu Lafeng did not have the reinforcements sent by the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty could not use guò force to back them up, they could only use guò's own diplomatic means to replace the rights of the Western Turks, which required superb diplomatic skills and superb scheming methods. Moreover, they are also very dangerous, and once exposed, the threat to life is possible. Not to mention diplomatic immunity, which is not practiced in this era. It is obviously very difficult to talk to the Turks about what the two countries are fighting and not fighting, which is obviously very difficult in the Western Turks.

"Now, it is definitely impossible for the Khan to continue to stay in the position of the Khan. If the Khan of the Yakhu still stays on it, then I am afraid that it will be impossible for the Turks to be at peace. If the Turks are not at peace, then we will not be able to get merchants to come to the Western Regions to do business. The Khan has lost his prestige to rule the Western Turks, so we must give the Western Turks a new person. And this person must be able to have a certain prestige, and be able to respond to the support of our Datang, but he can't have too much prestige, at least not so that he can get rid of the support of my Datang. Because we want to put a yoke on the Western Turks, and that is federalism. And federalism means that it is impossible for him to stay in the Turkic position for a long time, and he must rely on the support of our Datang to be able to ascend to the throne. In this way, the Western Turks are places where we can play with the Tang Dynasty at will. Wang Xuance said.

The reason why Wang Xuance wants to choose a prestige can't be too strong, because if he is too strong, he is afraid that he will get rid of the control of the Tang Dynasty. Datang did not have the strength to directly send a large army to attack, so he could only rely on the so-called ethereal support to put the people he supported on the throne. And don't underestimate the Central Plains Dynasty's secret influence on the Western Regions, since Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions, the Central Plains Dynasty's influence on the Western Regions is very huge, and even those small countries in the Western Regions have become accustomed to obeying the management of the Central Plains Dynasty. This habit is actually very fatal, and it can be said to be servile in a certain way.

Song Dynasty period. There are some southern kingdoms whose military strength, various territorial sizes, and even comprehensive national strength are not necessarily weaker than those of the Song Dynasty, but they all choose to surrender to the Song Dynasty and ask for canonization. This is actually the habit and servility of thousands of years, they are accustomed to the canonization and recognition of the Central Plains Dynasty, and they think that they are inferior to them, so they have asked to be canonized. They didn't realize that their strength was no less than that of the Central Plains Dynasty, so why should they ask for canonization? Therefore, this kind of thinking has been instilled in the bones, even many northern nomads. This has also been the case in many Asian countries historically. This is because the Central Plains civilization is too powerful, even if those surrounding countries have developed for a while, they may not dare to be independent directly, but they still have to ask for canonization from countries that are similar to themselves, and sometimes even weaker than themselves, I have to say that this kind of servility has penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

Don't look at Wang Xuance now, he can almost say that he doesn't bring anyone, but as long as he has the legal identity of the envoy of the Central Plains Tang Dynasty, this identity can get a lot of benefits in the Western Regions. Although it may not be possible to let them resist directly against the Western Turks, it is still possible to let them help wave the flag and shout when the wind is down. Even. When the time comes, some invisible canonizations and promises can make some small countries flock to it, and I have to say that the influence of the Central Plains Dynasty since the Han Dynasty on this place is still very huge. So. These small countries in the Western Regions were Wang Xuance's natural allies, able to help them cope with some difficulties. If you use it well, it's not impossible to do something secret. After all, there are many small countries in the Western Regions, if you can hide in the Western Regions. That's really not easy to find!

"These small countries in the Western Regions are usually okay to help wave their flags and shout, but if they directly face the Western Turks. Then they're not. Our focus is still on the Western Turks, so that the internal tribes of the Western Turks will turn against them. The Western Turks still pose a certain threat to our Datang, so we must confuse him, but we can't let them really fight. If they fight, we won't be able to get commercial access either. I've seen the federalism of Jingwen sacrificial wine, and this is completely a method of trapping the Turks. It can make them fight internally, but it is not enough for them to fight, which can be said to be a good way to mess up the palace. They are at best chaotic in the center of the Federation, but they have broken their old ways. However, the only drawback now is that the Khan will never agree to this plan. Originally, the position of the khan was hereditary, but it suddenly became this kind of let the tribal leaders nominate and ask the Tang Dynasty to canonize it, and even have a certain term of office, this I'm afraid that the Khan will not agree to it at all. Zhu Lafeng said.

"Hmph, that's why we're going to make a change. Those Yakhu Khans will never agree, because we are trying to weaken the Khan's power, so we have to change another guy. Those guys who want to be in the top position, there are more of them, and we have no shortage of supporters. There are many people who want to be in power, and I am afraid that they are willing to sign any agreement, and they have the courage to write any traitorous treaty. However, this candidate is not suitable for everyone. The main thing is that he can have a certain prestige and be able to get certain people to support him. The key is that our Datang does not have too strong strength to directly intervene, which is also the reason why he has prestige. But the prestige can't be too strong, if it is too strong, then I am afraid that it will take the opportunity to unify the Western Turks, which is not a good thing for our Tang Dynasty. Have you inquired about any suitable candidates during this time? Wang Xuance asked.

Zhu Lafeng thought for a while and said, "I have a candidate, but I don't know if he is willing to cooperate." If he is willing to come forward, then I am afraid that we will be able to make things much easier this time. The point is, how ambitious this guy is, and how he wants to be able to work with us. ”

"Who is it?" Wang Xuance asked.

"Mud!" Zhu Lafeng said.

Wang Xuance also began to fall into deep thought, obviously thinking about the answer given by Zhu Lafeng. (To be continued......)
