Ashina Taimen frowned, he felt the need to talk to this messenger of the Central Plains General, stretched out his hand, made a gesture of invitation, and said: "Guests from afar, please come to my tent, I would like to offer you the most delicious lamb and the strongest wine!" ”

Tan Zhengwen hurriedly said: "Taimen Khan is too polite!" "Followed by Ashina Taimen, and went to the tent together.

During the march, even if it is the master of a department, the tent used is also simple, even if Ashina Taimen is exquisite, he will not bring his king's tent to come, in a small tent, only three people sit, Ashina Taimen, Tan Zhengwen, and the old wizard.

The old wizard is proficient in the Central Plains, so he can be a translator, first said a word to Ashina Taimen, and then asked Tan Zhengwen: "Dare to ask what the envoy is called, what military position in the army?" ”

Tan Zhengwen said: "A certain surname Tan Zhengwen has no position in the army, but General Yang is my master, and I am his second apprentice." By the way, there is something to explain to Taimen Khan, it was not we who captured Da Khan, but his guards who caught him, and also shot him with arrows, which many of the Da Ke Ministry's subordinates have seen, Taimen Khan found someone to ask the truth, we just saved him, put on good medicine, and then sent it to Taimen Khan you, Taimen Khan, don't misunderstand us, we are not hostile! ”

The old wizard's face changed suddenly, and he was a little happy, and translated the words to Ashina Taimen, but he translated it very simply, only saying that the Dake Department was in civil strife, and the Central Plains army did not go to war.

Ashina Taimen listened, his face also showed a slight joy, and he asked eagerly: "The guards arrested him and gave it to you, what's going on?" ”

No one told them about how Ashina Dake was arrested, and there were only three kinds of people present at that time, one was the Right Shenwu Army, of course they would not say this to Ashina Taimen. I haven't even seen each other, how can I say that?

The second is the guards and their families who betrayed Ashina Dake, they fled, and they didn't see Ashina Taimen, and of course they wouldn't say anything.

The third is those ordinary herdsmen, their status is too low, and they have just been released, they are not qualified to talk to Ashina Taimen, and they will not talk to others about the disgrace of the Khan King of their tribe.

And so it goes. Ashina Taimen didn't know how his younger brother was arrested, and the old wizard didn't know either, but they still heard what Tan Zhengwen said, and they knew that Ashina Dake was actually arrested by his own guards, which was an infighting!

Tan Zhengwen shook his head and said, "This, we don't know what is going on!" Our army is just borrowing the road, and after entering the steppe, it marches all the way. He did not interact with the various departments, but the day before yesterday, for some reason, he lost three of his army staff, but he was robbed by Da Khan. asked our army for ransom, and my master, General Yang, in order not to cause trouble, sent someone to send a ransom, and the person who didn't send the ransom was so-and-so. But after the ransom was gone, Da Khan sent troops to attack our army, and our army retreated into the mountains. did not fight with him, and gave gifts to Da Khan, hoping that he could withdraw from the army, and then somehow, Da Khan's army suddenly collapsed, and then his guards arrested him, the specific situation, my master General Yang is also confused, I don't know why! ”

He said a lot, the old wizard translated sentence by sentence, Ashina Taimen listened, and his heart was ecstatic, if there is civil strife in the Dake Ministry, it will be easy to do, there is no problem, civil strife, this is a good reason, fight indiscriminately, no matter who dies in the Dake Ministry, you can push this reason, no one can say anything!

Ashinada nodded again and again, but he didn't ask anything more, even if Tan Zhengwen said anything, it would be useless to him.

Instead, the old wizard said: "Your army is not in my sudden sense of the wind to cause trouble, this is very right, you want to go to the northeast, then please go early, we will not block, let alone pursue, as for the cattle and sheep, you don't want it, then forget it, we will no longer ask for gifts, just ask your army to leave early, so as not to really cause trouble!" ”

Of course, Tan Zhengwen agreed, saying that he would leave overnight today, and would never stay here for a moment, things have changed, it seems that the two tribes are going to merge, and he will not stay to save Ashinadake, go back early, and tell Yang Ze is the most important.

The old wizard sent Tan Zhengwen out of the tent, and kindly reminded: "Your army is going to conquer the barbarians in the Northeast, and the tribal soldiers there are very strong, and they are more powerful than us...... It's not much worse, especially the fierceness, General Tan should be careful! ”

Tan Zhengwen thought to himself: "Is he talking about the Gaogou people, the Gaogou people are very powerful?" What are you kidding, a group of people who work hard to make a living, he actually said it to remind him, it's really inexplicable! Thinking that the old wizard was shocking, he didn't ask in detail, and took his leave.

The old wizard returned to the tent, and his first words were: "Taimen Khan, if there is infighting in the Dake Ministry, then it will be easy to deal with it, why don't you do it tonight, destroy Da Khan, and his people!" ”

Ashina Taimen hesitated slightly, and said: "But the Central Plains army has not gone far, if the general who led the troops sees that we are fighting with the Dake Department, will he go down the mountain to pick up the cheap?" What he said now sounds good, he doesn't dare to do anything with us, for fear of any misunderstanding, that's because he is afraid that he can't beat us, but if he finds that there is a chance to win, then I'm afraid he won't leave honestly! ”

The old wizard frowned and said, "Well, the Central Plains army is indeed a troublesome ......" He thought for a while and said: "Taimen Khan, you are right, they don't dare to become our enemies now because they are afraid of us, but if we go to war with Dakebu, then our strength will be damaged, and those Central Plains people will not necessarily be afraid of us, and then they will dare to be our enemies!" ”

Ashina Taimen nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I meant." However, if we don't do it as soon as possible, when Dako's boy is on guard and gathers the soldiers loyal to him again, then we will do it again, and I don't know how many people will die, and maybe what we will gain will not be much lost! ”

Even in ancient times, even in the Tujue grassland, it was necessary to pay attention to the cost performance of launching a battle, if you fight once, the benefits you get are more than what you lose, and you can't get back the capital, then who can still want to fight!

Both of them are very irritable, tonight is the best time, but there is a Central Plains army next to them, is it a waste of good time, not to go to war, or to take the risk to fight? This choice is really hard!

The old wizard suddenly said: "Taimen Khan, otherwise the old man will go to the Central Plains army, talk to the Central Plains general, and urge him to leave quickly, what do you think?" ”

"Will he listen?" Ashina Taimendao, no matter what, the general has heavy troops in his hands, let them leave overnight, this is a very faceless thing, I heard that the Central Plains people want face the most, urge him to leave, I'm afraid it's very unwilling, if you turn your face and refuse to go, wouldn't it be bad!

The old wizard said: "Judging from the general's appearance, he is a very timid person, and before sending troops, the emperor of their Central Plains should have specially instructed him not to cause trouble on the grassland, with these two points, he should be persuaded to do so, as long as the old man and I threaten a little and shine the blade, he will leave, otherwise there is no inside, what do you have to do with face!" ”

Ashina Taimen hummed and said: "At this juncture, there seems to be nothing else except this method, then you should be careful and try not to let him not get off the stage, I heard that as long as the Central Plains people have a step down and do not hurt their face, they will back down, which is different from our sudden awakening people in this regard!" ”

The old wizard agreed, immediately got up, called a few attendants, and rode to the other side of the hill, to be a lobbyist, he was very confident, thinking that as long as he scared a little, he could make the so-called Central Plains General get out, the appearance of the Central Plains General was so cowardly, he had already seen it, it was impossible to be disobedient.

Tan Zhengwen rushed back to Yang Ze's barracks, and after seeing Yang Ze, he told the matter again, this is a temporary change of plan, it is an unauthorized act, and it must be explained clearly.

After Yang Ze heard this, he was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Okay, you did a good job, improvisation is what you should do." If my prediction is correct, then tonight, the two tribes will be in flames, and it is estimated that the victor will definitely be Ashina Taimen, but he will also be hit hard, and we will just go down the mountain to pick up the bargain. ”

Tan Zhengwen asked, "Wiped out the two tribes together?" ”

Yang Ze immediately shook his head and said: "No, no, just destroy the Taimen Khan, and then help Ashina Dake to take the throne, it is very common for large tribes to annex small tribes, but it is not common for small tribes to annex large tribes, and the Dake Ministry has annexed the Taimen Department with our help, then this news will quickly spread throughout the grassland, and after those small tribes know, they will think that it is still possible to be annexed if they hold the thigh of the Sudden Khan, but if they hug the thigh of my Dafang Empire instead, then they will not only be able to protect themselves, but maybe they can also expand the tribe, Then there will be a tribal Khan king to vote for me, and it won't be long before the sudden sense will split into two camps, those who are close to me and generous, and those who are close to the Khan of the sudden awakening! ”

It is natural for the weak to eat the strong on the grassland, and it is not uncommon for tribes to annex each other, and the reason why the headquarters of the Sudden Khan is strong is also the success of the continuous annexation of other small tribes through guò, which is good for the formation of a centralized monarchy and only one voice of the entire khanate, but if the Sudden Khan is not strong enough, then it will give outsiders an opportunity to take advantage of!

The generals of the Right Shenwu Army surrounded them together, and when they heard that there was going to be a war, they all came to ask how to fight.

Yang Ze didn't have an idea, he said to everyone: "How we want to fight, it depends on how the two tribes below fight." But it doesn't matter, they'll send someone up and report to us, and when we know their plans, we'll make it our own! ”

As if answering his words, a soldier came to report, saying that an old Tujue man wearing a strange guide came down from the mountain, saying that he was asking to see Yang Ze, claiming to be a messenger sent by Ashina Taimen!

Yang Ze laughed and said to everyone: "What's the matter, General Ben is not wrong, someone will come to report!" (To be continued......)
