Jiang Qu talked eloquently. He didn't say any big words, let alone threats. They were the most common words that were closely related to himself, but it made Zhenzhu Khan somewhat confused.
There were not many people in this camp, except for the envoys who came, including Zhenzhu Khan and several Turkic noble generals under his command.
What Jiang Quhu said would have an impact on Zhenzhu Khan, and would it have an impact on them? There must be some.
Because they have never experienced what the other person said. Why do many ethnic minorities want to invade the Central Plains? Isn't it just for the wealth and prosperity of the Central Plains?
What can be found on this grassland? It really can be said that there is nothing.
Qi Bi, He Li and the others knew at this moment that it was time to speak for themselves. Unexpectedly, Jiang Quhu actually had some effect.
"Khan, there are some generals." Qibi Heli said, "You should have heard what Lord Jiang said. The Tang Dynasty did not want to fight with Xue Yantuo, although taking down Xue Yantuo would be a big step for the Tang Dynasty. It’s very easy, but after all, it is a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and His Majesty still has old feelings for the Khan and you all.”
"So, before I come, Your Majesty asked His Highness to tell you that if the Khan and the generals are willing to live in Chang'an, Your Highness will give the Khan a huge sum of money. Of course, all the nobles and generals will have a share."
"The Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions are small countries that the Tang Dynasty can conquer with just one charge. The Tang Dynasty will not break its promise, let alone the Khan and the generals? Are you afraid of letting the Khan know that the three of us are from our own country? Turks, but over the years, the three of me have held high positions in the Tang Dynasty."
"Actually, what Mr. Jiang Hou said just now is quite reasonable. Khan, let me say something inappropriate. Even if you give up this position to me, Khan, I am afraid that I don't want to be this Khan. Compared with the Tang Dynasty, this The places where nomads live are just bitter and cold places.”
"The three of us are rough people, and we are not as eloquent as Duke Liang, Duke Zhao and others of the Tang Dynasty. Let's just say something vulgar. Khan, we were in the Tang Dynasty, but we have seen all kinds of beautiful women. It’s like a Bodhisattva from a small country in the Western Regions. I don’t know if Khan has heard of it. He is dressed up like a Buddhist Bodhisattva. The taste, appearance, and taste of it, my little brothers, also have quite a bit of flavor."
"What's more, there is the Silla maid from Silla. She is the most considerate. Her body is as soft as silk, her skin is fair, there is no peculiar smell on her body, and she is so tender that she can squeeze out water."
"Besides, that Japanese woman is very promiscuous. I heard she likes to find men other than her husband."
Qibi Heli and other military generals are naturally not good birds, and they often go to brothels and goulans. If you tell them about envoys and the pros and cons of state relations, they don't understand, but if you talk about the business between brothels and goulans, they are very familiar with it. But that's it.
Gee, this is no more exciting.
Besides, everything they said was true.
The three of them are also people who are good at observing people's words. After what they said, Zhenzhu Khan's face was very calm. After all, he was a Khan, but the generals under his tent obviously looked fascinated. The men on the grassland, Isn't it just the pursuit of nature, drinking the strongest wine and riding the strongest horse?
These two things may not be found on the grassland.
You also have to see how to taste this fierce horse.
Generals like Xue Yantuo all looked fascinated, but naturally they couldn't interrupt casually. They couldn't decide this matter, but judging from their expressions that showed little anger, they actually didn't want to fight.
If there really was no need to talk about how much malice they had against Datang, then they would have started clamoring a long time ago.
The grasslands are not like the Central Plains. Although these generals are headed by Khans, they are actually reckless and vulgar in character. If they really get angry, it is not difficult to understand that they speak directly. Even the generals under Jieli's command sometimes Similar things happen.
And since these generals didn't speak, it was obvious that they didn't have much ill feelings towards Datang, at least they didn't want to fight.
People die in war.
Especially if they lose the battle, these generals will die faster than the soldiers below.
"Yes, Khan, I am also a Turk. Coming to Xueyantuo today means I have returned to my hometown, so I can speak directly. I, Ashinadur, was also a general at the time, and now I am fighting for the Tang Dynasty. Now, both the title and the status are not low, I think you, Khan, know Tian Khan’s mind better than we do.”
"Your Majesty is so tolerant of others. When Jieli humiliated Your Majesty, after he arrived in Chang'an, Your Majesty treated him with great courtesy. Khan, if you take the initiative to go to Chang'an, then your status may be better than ours. It will be much higher, and then your son or the like can still be an official in the Tang Dynasty."
"Perhaps your family is no less generous than the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes. What's the benefit of staying outside the Great Wall?" Ashinadur also took over Qibi Heli's words.
To be honest, Zhenzhu Khan was a little moved. Since Yibi Duolu was eliminated by the Tang Dynasty, Zhenzhu Khan was actually very panicked. He knew that he was no match for the Tang Dynasty, and Xue Yantuo was no match for the Tang Dynasty.
What's more, the Tang Dynasty has many generals who are good at conquering and fighting, and there are also generals like Qibi Heli and others who are familiar with grassland warfare. More importantly, Shiwei Khitan and other troops may attack together with the Tang Dynasty.
Can Xue Yantuo defeat Datang? You don’t need to think about it to know that the final result is doomed to failure. The Tang Dynasty back then was far weaker than the Tang Dynasty now, but Jie Li back then was stronger than Xue Yantuo now!
So why did Xue Yantuo win?
During this period, the thought of surrender was not unheard of in Zhenzhu Khan's mind.
Now he suddenly discovered that there was a better choice.
He was really moved, not that Qi Bi Heli, Jiang Quhu, and the others' words were very tempting. Of course, he admitted that there must be temptation, and it was also very touching.
After all, this grassland is a bitter cold place, especially Jiang Quhu's words, which made the woman sleep for half a year without taking a shower. Although his Khan's women are not like this, they don't bathe very frequently, probably only once a month.
After getting used to it, I don’t think much of it, but think about the beautiful girls from Chang’an, who are washed every day, with delicate skin and tender flesh, and are beautiful. Many khans on the grassland want to marry the Tang princess, aren’t they just attracted to her? Are the people from the Central Plains good-looking?
Even if a Turkic woman is a Khan's woman, she will not be able to go anywhere if she is exposed to wind and sun all day long.
The most important point is that Xueyantuo himself seems to rule a vast area, but he is not a khan who keeps his word. Xueyantuo is a multi-tribal regime that united various tribes affiliated with the Eastern Turks after the Eastern Turks were eliminated.
From another perspective, Zhenzhu Khan could become Xue Yantuo's khan precisely because under the external force of the Tang Dynasty, various tribes needed to join forces to keep warm, and then elected him as the supreme khan.
Without the external force of the Tang Dynasty, the little khans among these tribes may not sincerely surrender to him. Under this situation, once they are hostile to the Tang Dynasty, you can't tell which tribe will suddenly rebel.
"This... I still need to think about it more." Naturally, Zhenzhu Khan could not agree immediately. He also wanted to save face.
But upon hearing this, Qibi Heli and the others felt happy. This matter is settled! Before leaving, His Highness still said something, as long as Zhenzhu Khan hesitates, they can throw money. Don't be afraid to give the other party more money. Money is nothing to Datang.

There have been a lot of typos recently. There is nothing I can do about it. The vocabulary library of the previous input method is damaged and is gone. I have been having a hard time writing recently, and I have to re-cultivate many of my habitual word choices. It’s so disgusting.
