"Qimin Khan does not want to be an enemy of the Great Khan! As long as the Great Khan is willing to cooperate and hide it from the Sui Dynasty, not only will we not fight the Great Khan's pro-army, but we are also willing to work with the Sui army to help you eliminate the disobedient tribes Soldier, from now on, none of our war horses will ever enter the west of Dujin Mountain."
In the Turkic King's tent, Bujia Khan and a group of his confidants were meeting with Shishu Huxi. Shishuhuxi expressed Ranqian's intention not to have a hard fight with Bujia Khan. They grassland people never had so many twists and turns in their negotiations. Tao Tao, everything revolves around the word 'profit'. As long as both parties feel that it is beneficial, they will state the matter directly.
After Bujia Khan heard these words, his blue eyes were full of teasing and asked: "What else?"
"The Great Khan and Qimin Khan have the same blood, and they are both the most outstanding leaders of the Ashina family. As long as this battle is over, the two families will be able to hide the Sui Dynasty from the Sui Dynasty under the illusion of confrontation. When the time comes, the Great Khan will We have the energy to eliminate the Xue Yantuo, Qibi and other tribes, while we go to annex the Tiele tribes in the north, as well as the restless Xi tribe, Lin tribe, Khitan, Mohe, and Shiwei. The two families will do their own thing to free the Eastern and Western Turks from the loose Tribal alliance, establish two highly centralized dynasties, wait until our two families turn the grassland into two iron plates..." At this point, Shi Shuhu Xi's eyes suddenly became fierce and sharp: "I don't believe anyone else can Stop the Turks’ footsteps, and then we can join forces to go south and turn the fertile Sui Dynasty territory into a pasture for the Turks!”
There was silence in the big tent. No one expected that Ranqian would have such a crazy idea.
After a moment of silence, a cold smile appeared on the corner of Bujia Khan's mouth: "I can't refuse the offer made by Ranqian. You go back and tell Ranqian that I will send 40,000 Tiele soldiers to perform meritorious service for him. They can kill him." Depending on his ability, after I return to the tent, I will personally form an alliance with him. But I have to add a condition."
Shishu Hu Xi said with great joy: "Great Khan, please tell me!"
"If he helped the Sui Dynasty destroy my 40,000 army, the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty would definitely be heavily rewarded, but I gave him the credit. I want him to take two million sheep as compensation." Bujia Khan watched. Shi Shu Hu Xi said calmly: "I think a warrior's head is worth fifty sheep, what do you think?"
"It's worth the price, but we may not be able to kill so many people?" Shi Shuhu Xi said with some embarrassment.
Bujia Khan laughed: "As for the people, I will send him to kill them all. How many you can kill has nothing to do with me."
"I understand what the Great Khan means. I will tell Qimin Khan one by one. Bujia Khan, please take care of yourself. I'm leaving." Shi Shu Hu Xi stood up and said goodbye.
"Wait a minute." Bujia Khan stopped him with a smile and said with a smile: "You are the most astute Sogdian businessman. Do you think my request is excessive?"
Shi Shuhu Xi bowed and saluted, "I think the Great Khan's request is reasonable!"
"Go back! Please help me persuade Rangan. As long as Rangan gives me a million sheep, I will make you the largest trader in the Western Turks and the Turkic Khanate. In the future, I can also make you the king of the Western Turkic Kingdom. "
The Sogdians are born businessmen. They have been doing business with their parents since they were young. As long as it is profitable, they will go to do business no matter how far away they are. So far, they have developed a very complete trade network and basically control the Silk Road. The trade on the road has become the largest middleman in the Sino-Western trade. They are Turks in the Turks, Western Regions people in the Western Regions, and Sui people in the Sui Dynasty. Everything depends on interests. There is no loyalty at all. As long as you go out The price is much higher than that of their old owner, so they can sell the old owner for nothing in the blink of an eye.
As the Great Khan of the Turks, Bujia Khan not only understood the nature of the Sogdians, but also knew that this Shi Shu Hu Xi was the most outstanding businessman in the Western Turkic State, so he issued the order "King of the Shi State" to the Shi Shu Hu The price is irresistible.
Shi Shu Hu Xi was overjoyed. He bowed deeply and said, "I am willing to serve the great Khan Bujia!"
When he exited the king's tent, the Second Khan bowed and said: "Great Khan, I think Rangan's idea is a good one."
"Which one?" Bujia Khan asked with a gloomy expression.
The Second Khan said: "The one who established the centralized dynasty."
"He is dreaming." Bujia Khan sneered: "Tiele and other tribes are indeed not of the same mind as us, and obeying orders is just a helpless act, but we must not annex those small tribes. This is because the grassland is vast and the population is Countless, everyone leads a nomadic life, which is completely different from the Central Plains people who settle in cities. If we occupy those small tribes by force, how will we control them? And retain these small tribes, even if they treat us differently However, because we are frightened by force, we have to give us young men as pawns, we have to hand over taxes, and let us take whatever we ask for, live and die... Although the systems in the Central Plains are good, they are only suitable for farming. The Central Plains is not suitable for our grasslands. Otherwise, why didn’t the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Rouran use it? Why didn’t our ancestors use it? If you want to use the Central Plains system, you must first change your nomadic habits into settled farming, but this is simply impossible. Things. And the Central Plains is not something that can be taken just as it wants. There is no shortage of heroes in that magical place. Er Zhurong, Gao Huan, Yu Wentai, Yu Wenxian, Yang Jian, Yang Shuang, Yang Su, Shi Wansui and others are all Heroes...maybe they will have more people soon."
"Then why did the Great Khan agree to Rangan's conditions?" Ashina Budu asked in confusion.
"I have no choice but to agree to his conditions. And we also need victory." Bujia Khan looked at Ashina Budu and ordered: "Select 20,000 Tiele and 20,000 Tiele who listen to us. Ming Fu Li, kill Ran Qianjun for me ruthlessly."
After hearing this, everyone understood that the so-called two million sheep was just a tactic used by Bujia Khan to deceive Ranqian. Such a harsh condition made it more credible. And with their current situation, it was also External supply is indeed needed. If Ranqian thinks about their situation and listens to Shi Shuhu Xi's words, he will definitely believe it.
The second khan next to him said: "Great khan, no matter what, Rangan is one of our own. Would you like to think about it again?"
"Consider?" Bujia Khan sneered, "I know very well what Rangan is thinking. He just wants to use us to gain benefits. Once he calms down, he will turn around and deal with us. If we kill him After defeating all the 100,000-strong army, we will not be threatened by him for at least ten years. In addition, we can also give an explanation to the people."
The Second Khan was silent. They really needed a victory to boost their morale. If Rangan's army of 100,000 men could be wiped out in one battle, then the great Khan's lost reputation would be restored, and at the same time he could With this battle, those tribes with dissident intentions trembled, and they continued to let them take whatever they wanted, life and death. This business is much more cost-effective than two million sheep. It can be said that you get multiple benefits with one stone.
"Go and prepare!" Bujia Khan said to Ashina Budu: "Take Meng She with you. How they suffered defeat in the first place, let Ranqian be defeated in the same way."
"yes."
