Chapter 212
After thinking about it for a while, the khans also expressed their intention to stay. Tuli Khan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the two sides are in a stalemate, if these tribes leave, the coalition forces will be at a disadvantage in terms of strength.

"It is hateful for the Xi people to take advantage of the fire, but they are just accomplices. The real murderer is Xie Li, who lured the wolf of the Xi people to attack. Xie Li is the real murderer. As long as we defeat Xie Li, the little Xi people will be nothing to worry about." .”

Kulmode said: "Great Khan, can we defeat Jieli?"

Tuli Khan knew that this was the common aspiration of everyone, so he said firmly: "Yes! Of course it can! Jieli has the Xi family to help, and we also have assistants."

"Who?"

Everyone's spirits were shaken, and they all showed surprise expressions.

"Jieli has used troops for years, and the conscripts have been severe. We have many internal contradictions in the Great Turkic. Coupled with years of famines and heavy taxation, Jieli has trusted the Hu merchants in the Western Regions and the remnants of the Sui Dynasty, and alienated the Turkic nobles. It can be said that he is dissatisfied with him. There are plenty of people, and as long as we survive for a while, more people will respond. In the words of the Han Chinese, Xieli is just a grasshopper after autumn—it won’t be able to reach for a few days. Besides, we can communicate with Li Don form an alliance."

"I don't agree to form an alliance with Li Tang." Before Tuli Khan finished his sentence, Ashina, Tuli Khan's younger brother, shouted loudly. He was nine feet tall and stood there with a sense of coercion His aura spread naturally, appearing brave and sturdy.

Ashina was the son of Shibi Khan of the Turkic royal family, and the Turkic Khan was originally succeeded by Shibi Khan's son, but Jieli bullied Tuli and Ashina, who were still underage at the time, and stole the Khan's throne.As for Xieli, Ashina’s association rate was the same as that of Tuli. He was dissatisfied and rebellious. His elder brother, Tuli Khan, conspired against Jieli Khan. The rate naturally follows to the end.

But as a Turkic royal family, the Ashina Association is proud of its Turkic blood and is full of personal nationalism.When Shibi Khan ruled the roost, hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry went south to point at Yanmen Pass, and Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, was trapped in it.Facing the mighty Turks, there was nothing they could do.

At a young age, Ashina boasted to the world: "My father Khan's army is like wolves, and his enemies are like sheep." He directly regarded the Sui Dynasty as a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

This idea still exists in the thought of Ashina's association rate even now.Although the Sui Dynasty was destroyed, the later Tang Dynasty was also regarded as a lamb.

But today, the noble descendants of the wolf god want to form an alliance with a group of "sheep". As an extreme nationalist, the Ashina Association thinks this is a shame, and it is an act of putting down their noble status to form an alliance with slaves.

Therefore, how could Ashina's association rate endure such "humiliation", and immediately jumped up to oppose Tuli Khan's decision.

"Association rate, sit down!" Tuli Khan's face was very ugly. This was the way out he had discussed with Yi Nan, but just as he said it, his own brother stood up to oppose it, which made Tuli Khan very dissatisfied .

Ashina is a well-known Turkic warrior, and even the famous Turkic No. 150 marksman. In Turkic, his name is synonymous with warriors.Ferocious and vicious, in a decisive battle with the enemy tribe in the past, he chased and killed 86 cavalry by himself, and with the bow and crescent scimitar in his hand, he killed 86 people. When he returned to the tribe, he had [-] heads of enemy tribe soldiers hanging on his body .

In the eyes of the tribes loyal to Tuli Khan, Ashina is like Qin Qiong of the Tang Dynasty, a unique God of War!Therefore, he has a high prestige, and when he opened his mouth, many people began to whisper.

Seeing that his words worked, Ashina said triumphantly, "Brother, you see, this is not only what I mean, but also everyone's meaning. How can the wolf and the sheep become friends?"

"Association rate, shut up!" Tuli Khan slammed the case, with a fierce look in his eyes: "Association rate is related to our future, not when you will be willful." For his younger brother, Tuli In fact, Khan doesn't like it very much. Not to mention his bad conduct, he often causes troubles. Relying on his amazing talent, he is domineering. Before raising troops, Ashina's association rate threatened some neutral tribes, causing those tribes to completely surrender to Khan. Li Khan indirectly strengthened Jieli Khan's power, and now that everyone is in the midst of life and death, this guy actually jumps out to interfere with him in a meaningful way, which is really annoying.

Ashina's association rate was quite convinced by Tuli Khan, and when he saw his brother speak, he immediately calmed down a lot.He muttered in his mouth: "If my brother doesn't say something convincing, I believe everyone will not agree." This guy is not too stupid, but he even thought of a way to kidnap everyone to force Tuli Khan to submit.

"It doesn't matter if Li Tang is a wolf or a sheep!" Yi Nan Khan coughed lightly and stood up to speak. Although he and Tuli had some conflicts, now is the time to help each other. He must protect Tuli Khan. Everyone's opinions are not unified, people's hearts are scattered, there is no need to fight this battle, just wash the neck and send it to Xieli for him to cut.

"The important thing is that Li Tang has the weapons, food, and winter clothes that we are in short supply, and these are exactly what we need urgently. If we form an alliance with Li Tang, they will be able to contain the Xi clan for us, so that we can deal with Xieli with peace of mind. After taking care of Xieli, everyone can discuss whether Li Tang is a wolf or a sheep. If it is a sheep, isn't it suitable for a wolf?"

Everyone laughed, and the tense atmosphere was relieved.

Whether it is Jieli, Tuli, Yinan or the leaders of their tribes, they are all envious of the prosperity of the Central Plains. Their greatest wish is to break through Chang'an, occupy the Huahua River and Mountains of the Central Plains, and turn all the land of the Han people into their pastures.

Non-my family, its heart must be different

This is a wise saying that has not changed for thousands of years.

In the eyes of Turks and other foreign races, Li Tang is just a foreign race.

Tuli Khan continued: "This is exactly what I mean. The purpose of forming an alliance with Li Tang is to get their things and let them contain the Xi people so that we can defeat Xieli at ease. This is just to use them. Who would really Alliance with them. Association rate, do you have any questions?"

"there is none left!"

Satisfied with Ashina's association rate, he muttered there: "Let's talk about it sooner! In the words of their Han people, my Ashina's association rate is still very reasonable."

Everyone smiled!
Tuli Khan took advantage of the situation and said: "In order to show our sincerity in forming an alliance, and also for our future, I am here to serve as an envoy."

He Luohu is the eldest son of Tuli, he is not very old, not yet 20 years old, but he is very mature, and he is deeply loved by Tuli.He specially asked He Luohu to go south to the Central Plains, firstly to train He Luohu, and secondly, to prove his sincerity to Datang from another angle, and at the same time, to prove his sincerity in putting his son in danger for the sake of everyone's future.

Everyone was overwhelmed by Tuli Khan's courage, and there was no objection to this.But Ashina jumped out again and said, "Brother, the Central Plains is too far away, maybe that bastard Xieli sent someone to wait on the way, let me protect Nephew He Luohu! I promise He The Lovul came back safe and sound."

Tuli Khan's heart skipped a beat, but he still shook his head. He knew Ashina's association too well. If this guy went to the Central Plains, he might cause him great trouble.

Ashina quickly assured the association: "Brother, I know that the alliance is very important to us, I will not do anything bad, I just want to see Li Tang's Chang'an."

Tuli Khan stared closely at Ashina's association rate, as if he wanted to see through his thoughts, and after a while, he said, "No, I'll just send some more warriors."

Yi Nan said: "King Khan, it's good if the association rate is gone."

Tu Li glanced at Yi Nan in surprise, but he knew that Yi Nan was resourceful, and at this critical moment, he would not be so stupid as to plot against his allies, so he said to Ashina, "You can go, but you must Listen to He Luoful's words. You have to know the predicament we are facing, and currently only Li Tang can help us break it."

"Understood, understood, I swear in the name of the wolf god, I, Ashina, the leader of the association, will listen to the words of Heluo Ful all the way, if I don't obey, I will die a bad death."

"Okay! Remember what you said today. If you fail the plan, even if you are my brother, I will not spare you." Tuli Khan breathed a sigh of relief, "Everyone go down, do what you have to do." What to do."

After everyone retreated, Tu Li asked Yi Nan: "Yi Nan Khan, you know his temperament, why do you still speak for him?"

Yi Nan smiled and said: "King Khan, Ashina's association rate is the strongest warrior of our Turks. Let Li Tang see the strength of my Turkic warriors, and perhaps it will be more able to promote the alliance between the two sides. As long as Ashina's association rate is not enough If it is too much, Li Tang will not turn against us, because they also need us to defeat Xieli."

Like Tuli, Yi Nan is a rare figure on the grassland. He is brave, generous, and righteous. He is very popular on the grassland and has a very large popular support.He is bold and resourceful, otherwise, the Xue Yantuo in the official history would not have developed into a 30-armed overlord who dominated the north and challenged the Tang Dynasty in its heyday.

Tu Li asked: "Do you think Li Shimin will form an alliance with us?"

"It will definitely be. As I said before, a unified Turkic state does not meet Li Tang's needs. However, we have to be prepared. People in the Central Plains are very greedy."

Tuli Khan also said: "Now that we have changed places with the Central Plains, the current Li Tang is like the Turks of the past. He sat and watched our Turks' endless wars. And why can't we learn from the Li Yuan of the past?"

Yi Nan smiled knowingly, and said: "So what if we bow our heads and become ministers? The Central Plains is vast and rich in resources and sparsely populated. Is it possible that Li Shimin can still accept our land? Therefore, in order to persuade Li Shimin, we can also become ministers. Anyway, it is only in name We don’t have any real losses, at most, we donate some war horses, cattle and sheep every year. We don’t lack these things, on the contrary, we can get more things we want from the Central Plains.”

Tuli Khan nodded and said: "Since ancient times, people in the Central Plains have regarded fame and wealth as more important than life. In order to show their own mind and face, they will give double rewards to those who 'surrender' to them. As you said In other words, if being a vassal can bring endless benefits, why should we care about those useless things."

Yi Nan smiled slightly and said, "We can reveal our bottom line to He Luoful. However, it would be even better if we can not surrender."

"Well, I think what we should do now is to write a letter of sincerity and surrender, so that the Horauful can take it away."
