Chapter 5. Individual plans

Western Regions, Xiao Bolu.

Xiao Bolu was located south of the Western Regions and was a vassal state of Tubo. Attacking Xiao Bolu, it was not until the late period of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty that Gao Xianzhi had an expedition and Xiao Bolu became a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.

Xiao Bolu is a mountainous country with a small area, the size of a county in the mainland, but its geographical location is very important and can overlook the Western Regions. Moreover, it is also a place where Tubo left the country in the Western Regions, and can have a good relationship with the Arab emperor.

Historically, when Tubo and the Arab Empire colluded, Xiao Bolu played a very important role. The two countries once formed a coalition force to attack the Western Regions, but were defeated by the Tang Dynasty.

"I've seen a small theory." When the Tubo novel comes, King Xiao Bolu is busy with the ceremony, as if he is seeing his ancestors.

Xiao Lu is a high-ranking official in Tubo, equivalent to the current vice premier. The reason why Xiao Lu came to Xiao Bolu was because Muragu, the envoy of the Arab Empire, came to discuss the alliance with Tubo.

Although Yousuf was ambitious and wanted to conquer China, he knew very well that the Tang Dynasty was a strong enemy and was not so easy to fight. If he wanted to conquer China, he had to rely on the power of Tubo. Therefore, he sent Muragu to discuss the alliance.

Tubo was also very active in the alliance, because after the fall of the Turks, the north of the Tang Dynasty could no longer restrain it and concentrate its troops against Tubo. Tubo faced great pressure. If he could form an alliance with the Arab emperor, it would be beneficial to Tubo.

Although the Arab Empire is far apart and cannot join forces for the time being, it can receive military assistance from the Arab Empire. The Arab Empire can give Tubo the weapons that urgently need, which can improve the combat effectiveness of the Tubo army.

Therefore, after receiving the news, Tubo Zanpu attached great importance to it and sent a brief speech to the Western Regions.

"Where is the messenger of the Great Food?" Xiao Lu asked.

"Reply to the small statement. The messenger of the Great Food rests at the post office." King Xiao Bolu hurriedly replied.

"Okay, you can find me a room and I want to have a good rest." Xiao Lu raised his eyebrows.

"Small remarks, why don't you see the messenger of the Great Food immediately?" King Xiao Bolu was a little surprised.

The short statement traveled thousands of miles, and when Xiao Bolu arrived in the middle of winter, he didn't even meet Muragu at the first time.

"No hurry, no hurry." Xiao Lun shook his head and said, "Let me rest before talking."

The alliance between Tubo and the Arab Empire was just a mutual use. Whoever was anxious was at a disadvantage, so the short speech would naturally not be able to understand this. He was deliberately taking it.

"Okay, please rest in Xiao Lu." King Xiao Bolu personally sent Xiao Lu to the inn.

The short statement didn't matter if this rest was not a big deal, but he didn't go out for five days, as if he did not come for state affairs, but for travel and vacation.

After Muragu got the news, his mouth slit and said disdainfully to his followers: "These arrogant Tubo idiots are so scrupulous for a little face."

"Sir, these Tubo dogs really have no vision. Both countries have good alliances, so why should they do this?" The followers were also dissatisfied.

"Tubo has been fighting with China for so many years, but he has never been able to defeat China. In addition to the weak national strength, these ministers are all fools." Muragu raised his brow and said, "Since these fools want face, let's go and visit him."

"Sir, this is not very good, right?" The entourage didn't agree.

"These are all small things, and they don't do the big things." Muragu was a shrewd man and smiled and said, "The more people care about small things, the less they can do big things. We must do big things, conquer China, and don't be petty."

"It's still great about the adults." The follower praised.

In this way, Muragu took the initiative to visit Xiao Lu. When he came to Xiao Lu's residence, he was stopped by Xiao Lu's people and said, "What are you doing?"

"Please report back to the short story, just say that Muragu is here to visit." Muragu's face was filled with a smile, and a pearl in his right hand was stuffed into this person's hand.

The man looked at it briefly, his eyes shone, and a long list of small stars appeared, with a smile on his face and said, "You guys wait."

After saying that, this person went in and reported.

Xiaolun was playing with a beautiful singer, and after receiving the report, he said, "Don't worry, let him wait."

"Sir, this is not good, right? He has come to the house." The follower reminded him.

"What's wrong with it? He begged us, not us begged him, let him wait." Xiaolun said proudly.

To be honest, it is Tubo who seeks the Arab Empire, because the war between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty is about to begin, which is an urgent need. Although the Tang Dynasty and the Arab Empire will have a war sooner or later, it will take a long time to live. However, when it comes to the short words, it is the Arab Empire who seeks the Tubo, which is really arrogant.

"Okay." The entourage came out and said to Muragu: "Sir, I have something to do, I can't see you yet, so wait."

After saying that, he walked away quickly without caring about Muragu's reaction.

Muragu waited for a long time, and he could not see any signs of the small words.

This is a big winter with ice and snow, and Xiao Bolu is a plateau country, so it becomes even colder. The cold wind blows on his body, like a knife cutting flesh. Muragu is frozen and his face is blue and his nose is flowing.

Muragu could still wait patiently at first, but as time went by, this patience was completely wiped out. Not only did the patience be wiped out, but his anger surged and became more and more intense.

As an envoy of a country, he was turned away and suffered some grievances. The problem is that it depends on the target. A big country like the Tang Dynasty, even if it is rejected by Muragu, Muragu could only endure it because the Tang Dynasty had that strength.

Compared with the Arab Empire, Tubo is far behind. Even such a second-rate country dares to humiliate Muragu so much, and he has to be angry: "Go and go back."

Muragu, whose hands and feet were frozen, took the people back to the house and gathered around the fire to keep warm. The more he thought about it, he became more angry and said coldly: "It's really unreasonable to be such a fool, and he wants to accomplish something. Come, prepare, we will set off tomorrow to return home."

"Sir, are you no longer forming an alliance?" the entourage asked hurriedly.

"It's useless to form an alliance." Muragu was really angry.

"These Tubo dogs are so stupid. Without them, we can still conquer China." The follower agreed with this.

So, the Arab emperor's envoy and his group began to prepare to return to the country the next day.

After Xiaolun got the news, he didn't care and sneered: "He is trying to control it, he will not return to China."

However, Xiao Lu was wrong. The next day, Muragu really brought his people back to China.

"No way? He really left?" Xiaolun was a little stunned and thought for a while and said, "He must be grasping it. He is not really going to leave, and he will stop soon."

Taking retreat as advance is also a common diplomatic trick, and the short theory has to think so.

"Reporting to the small remarks, the big cannibal walked very quickly and had no intention of stopping." Not long after, the follower came to report and said, "I have walked thirty miles."

"Thirty miles? I'm sure he will stop at fifty miles." Xiao Lu was stunned and then said again.

When Muragu returned to the 50-mile journey, he still had no intention of stopping. Xiao Lu realized that something was wrong. A cold sweat broke out on his forehead and said, "I won't really leave, right? Hurry up, I'll go chase."

If the Arab Empire loses the support of the Arab Empire, the situation in Tubo will not be very good. Not to mention anything else, just talking about iron is enough to make Tubo uncomfortable. Tubo is essentially a nomadic people, without advanced skills and developed technology, and cannot produce large quantities of iron. The Arab Empire has a lot of iron, and as long as some assistance is provided, it will be enough to benefit Tubo a lot. The short statement has to be anxious.

Xiaolun rode a horse, took his followers, and went to chase Mulagu in the wind and snow.

By the time he caught up, Muragu and his party were already seventy miles away.

"Stop him." Muragu learned that Xiao Lu was chasing him, and his anger not only did not dissipate, but instead became even stronger, and he had no intention of seeing Xiao Lu.

Xiaolun didn't give up until he saw Muragu, and kept saying good things to his followers, which was useless. He had to follow Muragu. At night, Muragu and his party stopped to rest.

"The opportunity is here." Xiao Lu hurried to Muragu's tabernacle and shouted: "Tubo Xiao Lu wants to see the messenger of the Great Food."

"Let him wait." Fengshui took turns, and it was finally Muragu's turn to take the initiative. How could he get the cheapest statement?

It was so amazing that for a few hours, Muragu didn't mean to see Xiao Lu. Xiao Lu was so cold that his face was almost turned into an ice man, but Muragu still didn't see him.

Later, Xiao Lu really couldn't stand it anymore and was so cold that he fainted.

"Take it on your own." Muragu was reluctant to be satisfied, with a smile on his face, and said, "Take him in."

The follower moved Xiaolun into Muragu's tent and placed it next to the fire to bake. After a while, Xiaolun woke up.

"I have met the noble envoy." Xiaolun struggled to stand up and salute to Muragu.

"Tell me, what's wrong with me?" Muragu said coldly with his head raised, his eyes slanted, as if he didn't take Xiaolun seriously.

"I am on the order of Zanpu to come to see the envoy and discuss the alliance between the two countries." Xiao Lun lost the initiative and dared not be strong anymore, so he had to say carefully.

"Alliance? No way? Your country is extremely powerful. If you don't take China seriously or your country seriously, is it necessary to form an alliance?" Muragu was frozen for an hour. He felt unhappy and raised his throat to mock him.

Xiao Lun blushed and said embarrassedly: "I am so disrespectful, please forgive me."

"As an envoy, I, Muragu, have been to many countries, and have been to China, and I was so angry that I vomited blood, but I was convinced." Muragu sneered: "Because the Chinese have the means and strength, I will convince me if I lose. Especially that Li Longji, I am very impressed. You, you have no means and strength, and you can't control your position but can't grasp the right amount. You are stupid."

This makes sense. It takes strength to grasp it. If you don’t have the strength, it is a joke.

When Mulagu was sent to the Tang Dynasty, he was so angry that he vomited blood by Li Longji. He had to accept it because the Tang Dynasty had the strength, and it would be fine to control it. But Tubo did not have the strength, so it would be stupid to control it randomly.

"Please forgive me, please forgive me." Xiao Lu had to whisper.

"For your sake of being a little sincere, you can form an alliance with you." Muragu raised his brow and said in a deep voice: "However, the things that help you cannot be given to you at once, and you will be given in batches. Give you half first and the remaining half. If you can achieve the results that satisfy us, it will not be too late to give it."
