Chapter 2079 Collaboration with the enemy and treason
The Yinan Khan worshiped the Han people.
He longed for the warmth and wealth of the Han family, worshiped the Han family's thousand-year inheritance, and admired the Han family's rich clothes, poems, books, and etiquette. The reason why he asked for a marriage from the Tang Dynasty was, on the one hand, because he hoped to use this to enhance Xue Yantuo's status in Mobei. The ruler, on the other hand, also has the obsession to marry a noble, elegant, educated and courteous Han woman.
Therefore, even though Xue Yantuo could not change the nature of the grassland people to burn, kill and plunder, he never regarded the Tang Dynasty as a life and death enemy and wanted to overthrow it quickly.
Yinan Khan's favorite book is "Three Kingdoms", and the person he admires the most is Emperor Wu of Wei.
At this moment, Shi Xiao Siye, the chief of the Shanyu Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty, came to surrender, which reminded him inexplicably of how Emperor Wu of Wei was trapped in Chou City when he faced the attack of Yuan Shao's army. Later, when Xu You came to surrender, Emperor Wu of Wei went out to welcome him, thus gaining Xu You's loyalty. , got the clever plan to attack Wuchao and defeat Yuan Shao...
As Xue Yantuo Khan, it was naturally impossible for him to go out on his bare legs to greet him, but his mood at the moment was the same as that of Cao Cao back then.
He immediately led everyone in the tent to the entrance of the tent. Looking at Xiao Siye, who looked haggard due to his long escape, but still had a noble temperament, he took two steps forward, held his hands tightly, and said with emotion: "Chief Xiao has come thousands of miles to join us, it's really a blessing. My son is far away!”
Xiao Siye was a little confused, and even more flattered.
As a descendant of the Xiao family, it is naturally necessary to study poetry and books diligently. When he was young, he followed Empress Xiao to the grassland. Under the supervision of Empress Xiao, he never slacked off in his studies. Of course he had read "Three Kingdoms" and naturally knew " "Ziyuan" is Xu You's character.
On the bank of the Yellow River, will the fire burn the black nest?
Not to mention, the history is actually a little similar...
He didn't have time to laugh at a mere prairie barbarian who dared to brazenly call himself Emperor Wu of Wei, but since Yi Nan Khan could regard him as Xu You, it showed how seriously he valued him.
Xiao Siye, who was worried that he would not be taken seriously along the way, took a long breath and put his heart back into his stomach.
Holding Yi Nan Khan's hand with his backhand, Xiao Siye looked touched, his eyes were red: "How can a mere petty official dare to greet the Great Khan in person? The Great Khan is so courteous to a virtuous corporal, and he is quite like the sages of ancient times. I’m so grateful that I can’t help but work hard.”
He was really moved!
Over the past few days, the dangers he has encountered in the world have made him doubt his life. There is a dead end in front of him, and there is no hope. Now that he has abandoned his home and country and joined the barbarians, he has received the attention he has always wanted but never had, which makes him feel like a scholar will die for his confidant.
Of course, this feeling only lasted for a moment...
I am a descendant of the Lanling Xiao family, a pure bloodline of the Han family. Now I am just looking for a place to settle down in life. Helping you to destroy the house is enough to be worthy of any reward and favor from you Xue Yantuo. As for dying... Doesn't exist.
"Haha, very good, very good! I have loved the poetry and books of the Han family the most in my life, and admired the heroes of the Han family. I am very happy that a young and handsome man like Xiao Changshi can come to Xue Yantuo all the way. I won’t treat you badly!”
Yinan Khan indeed envied the cultural heritage of the Han family, but his character had the cheerfulness and straightforwardness of the Hu people in the grassland. As soon as they met, he made an unabashed promise to Xiao Siye.
As long as you work hard, show your value, and be a high-ranking official with great salary and wealth, it won't be a problem!
This is much better than hiding various hints in obscure words.
He could abandon his family, abandon the Tang Dynasty, and travel all the way to join Xue Yantuo. What are they looking for?
Could it be that you, Yinan Khan, have the qualities of an ancient sage and a saint of all ages? Stop it! People just think that in Xue Yantuo, they will be better off than in the Tang Dynasty, and they will be able to gain benefits that far outweigh the consequences of abandoning the family and the Tang Dynasty!
With such a cold-hearted, selfish, and unloyal person, why should we talk about ideals and feelings instead of talking about interests?
Anyway, in all dynasties, there were Han people who could not survive on their side and had to seek refuge on the grasslands. However, no matter how kind and sincere the heroes on the grassland are, although people are on the grassland, their hearts are always towards the Han family. Whenever there is the slightest chance, they will return to their hometown without hesitation.
But who cares?
People on the grassland are not fools. They just use each other. As long as there is an exchange of benefits, they can have a good time drinking and talking.
Just like Xiao Siye in front of him, as long as he can bring internal news of the Tang Dynasty, or even give a strategy to retreat from the enemy, Yinan Khan will never be stingy with rewards.
As for whether this person will betray Xue Yantuo and seek refuge with others in the future, that is obviously another question...
Holding Xiao Siye's hand, surrounded by all the handsome men, Yinan Khan welcomed Xiao Siye into the tent, ordered people to place a seat next to him, asked Xiao Siye to sit down, patted Xiao Siye's hand, and sighed. Said: "Young master has come all the way, I should have held a big banquet and convened The chiefs of Xue Yantuo's tribes came to pay a visit. However, now that the Tang army is pressing down on the border, Fang Jun has already led the guards from Youtun to the city. It is impossible to say that they will cross the Yanyan Mountain and appear at the foot of Yudujun Mountain in the next moment. The military situation is urgent. I really neglect the young master. .”
As he spoke, a pair of eyes stared at Xiao Siye with burning eyes.
We have already expressed your attitude, so let's see if you can show us a convincing performance and what status and rewards you are worthy of.
Xiao Siye felt extremely fed up as Yi Nan Khan held his hand and refused to let go.
The Great Khan Xue Yantuo looks majestic, but in fact his whole body exudes a strong smell, as if he has slept in a cowshed and a sheep pen for several nights...
Holding back his nausea, he naturally couldn't show even a trace of disgust and impatience at this moment. Xiao Siye raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "Fang Jun seems to be strong, but in fact he is just bluffing. There are only tens of thousands of troops in Youtun Guards, but he is only suffering from ringworm and scabies." Well, with a wave of your hand, you can make it disappear into ashes.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the account had different expressions, and they all looked at Qibi Kele.
Not long ago, this famous general was here sternly preaching how powerful the Tang army was, how it cracked mountains and cracked rocks, how it was raining bullets, how it was indestructible and how it was unstoppable. What was the result? A high-ranking official from the Tang Dynasty came to apply for a job. As soon as he met him, he said that Fang Jun was not susceptible to ringworm and scabies...
General Qibi, do you want a slap in the face?
How could Qibi Heli not feel the sarcastic or mocking glances around him?
His face suddenly turned red, and he glared at Xiao Siye angrily, saying: "The firearms of the Tang Army are indestructible and unstoppable! I have personally learned that tens of thousands of elite soldiers are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered in front of the Tang Army's firearms, with no power to resist. Now Xiao Changshi said that Youtunwei is suffering from scabies, but I don’t know if he is deliberately belittling the Tang army, causing the Great Khan to become negligent, and fall into the trap of your Tang people?”
I understand your eagerness to show off when you first arrived, and I can also accept your deliberate belittling of the Tang Army's Right Guards to show your own value. But if you want to step on me and get the upper hand, that's not okay!
You Tuen Guards, who is like a chicken and a dog in your mouth, beat me until I lost my helmet and armor and the whole army was destroyed. What has become of me?
Wine bag and rice bag?
This is really unreasonable!
Xiao Siye blinked and looked at the angry Qi Bikel, a little confused.
I naturally belittle Fang Jun and improve my own status. What does that have to do with you?
Who the hell are you?
However, in Xue Yantuo's tent, he, a newbie who had just arrived, had not yet made any progress, and he could not understand the internal structure of Xue Yantuo. He had to keep his tail between his legs. He did not dare to offend anyone, so he had to bow slightly and asked: " Dare I ask if you are..."
Qibi Kele stared: "I am Qibi Kele, and I am also the general of Wuchuan Town! The Wuchuan Town I was guarding was captured by the Youtun Guards who were bluffing and scabies in your mouth! Come on, come on, I Today I want to ask you, are you just being alarmist or do you have ulterior motives?”
Xiao Siye sweated.
No wonder, when he called Fang Jun's bluff, he was just suffering from scabies, but in the end, this man was beaten by Fang Jun until his entire army was destroyed and he fled in embarrassment. What happened to him?
Don't blame others for being angry, don't you want to lose face?
But you can't blame him. Who would have known that your entire Wuchuan Town garrison was destroyed, and not only did your general not die, but you could still sit in the tent of Yi Nan Khan and show off your power?
Losing teachers and losing ground, nothing happened at all.
Xiao Siye can be sure that this Qi Bikele must be a big shot and has a very high status...
More and more afraid to offend him, he quickly said respectfully: "General Qibi has misunderstood. What I said is not to say that the firearms of the Tang Army are just what they look like. In fact, I know the power of firearms better than you. They can crack mountains, crack rocks, and cause landslides." The ground is cracking, no matter what. There is no city in the world that cannot be conquered by firearms, and there is no weapon or equipment on the battlefield. The Tang army was armed with weapons! Not to mention that General Qibi only had more than 20,000 soldiers and horses. Even if there were twice or ten times more troops, the outcome would not be any different. It's just that the Tang army is no longer attacking Wuchuan Town. The Tang army at the time of Zhao Xincheng was just a tiger without teeth..." (End of Chapter)
