Chapter 198: Unreal passion
Xueyantu Khan's tent is located on the banks of the Tula River, and its setting is similar to the Turkic royal court.☆→☆→,
There is no serious city, but a large tent that is bound to the sky. Because the Khan is stationed here, it becomes the political center of Xueyantuo.
If you encounter natural disasters or invasions from foreign enemies, you only need to change places and it will still be Xueyantuo Khan's tent. This is the characteristic of the nomadic peoples.
In fact, the tent of Xueyantuo Khan was originally located further north, and it was only after the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Turks in the east that the Khan Khan tent moved south accordingly.
From this phenomenon, it can be seen that Xue Yantuo's living space and sphere of influence are expanding southward.
This is a dangerous signal for the Tang Dynasty. Once there is expansion, it will sooner or later intersect. Two different civilizations meet, and once they cannot be integrated, there will be only conflicts.
For thousands of years, the Great Wall line in northern China has been like this, from the Huns to the Xianbei and today's Turks and Xueyantuo.
Fortunately, the Central Plains was a powerful Tang Empire, and the nomadic tribes on the grassland could not invade too much. If the Central Plains' military power became weaker, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The embarrassment of the Song Dynasty is the best example, but that is pretty good. Although the mountains and rivers are broken and the golden cup is incomplete, at least half of the country is still there.
Later, if you enter the pass, you will be able to win the world. Isn’t it a kind of sadness to the Han people to some extent?
Xie Yi was very lucky to be born in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but even so, he still had to be careful when dealing with the nomadic tribes on the grassland, especially the powerful tribes.
Xue Yantuo is now like a "time bomb" and must be dealt with carefully. In this situation, Xie Yi and Di Zhixun came to Xue Yantuo Khan's tent.
When they arrived at the periphery of Xueyantuo's "capital city", someone came to greet him, and the weight was not light. It was the second son of Zhenzhu Khan Yi Nan, who died suddenly.
"I have seen you all, and Dulishi represents his father Khan coming to welcome the Tang Dynasty mission." A powerful young man with strong appearance dismounted and bowed to salute, smiling all over his face. His Chinese speech in Central Plains was even more popular and fluent, and even had a Guanzhong accent. It was amazing.
Di Zhixun said: "It's time for the prince."
"Where is the honor to welcome the Tang Dynasty mission." Tu Lishi smiled with a smile on his face, and was quite polite.
Xie Yi asked with a smile: "The prince's Chinese language is quite fluent and has a Chang'an accent. But have you been to my Tang Dynasty?"
Tulishi said: "I'm sorry, Tulishi admires the prosperity and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, but unfortunately he has never had the opportunity to go and see it. Only by feeling the brilliant prosperity of the Tang Dynasty from his uncle's description and learning the language of the Tang Dynasty from his uncle."
"So that's it." Xie Yi did his homework before coming. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin contacted Xue Yantuo and promised to be granted the title of Khan in order to deal with Jie Li of the Turkic in the east in the fourth year of Zhenguan.
At that time, Yi Nan sent his younger brother to Chang'an to pay tribute, and was given a treasure knife and whip by Li Shimin, and was hospitalized in Chang'an for many days. However, the time was short, so it was too late to learn how many Tang civilizations, especially when learning the Guanzhong accent.
The statement of Thunder and Thunder is obviously full of water. Perhaps he was deliberately learning Chinese language from other channels. It is hard to say whether he admires the Tang Dynasty or not, but it is definitely true that he is interested in the Tang Dynasty and even knows it more.
Then his original intention and purpose are crucial. Perhaps he was to learn more advanced civilization from the Tang Dynasty, or perhaps he wanted to understand the weaknesses of the Tang Dynasty and seek breakthroughs.
None of them is a good sign. In Xie Yi's opinion, the best way is to be respected. As a great country, the Tang Dynasty should be respected.
Not to mention that the world has returned to the same place, at least it will shock the four sides and dare not let them invade, but the current situation is indeed...
A small Xue Yantuo also happened to gradually grow and grow, almost becoming a confidant. It's really... Xie Yi didn't know what to say for a moment!
"Enter Di, Xie, I will lead the way from Tulishi and go to the Khan tent to visit his father Khan!"
"It's time for the prince."
"You are kind. The envoy is respected and has a deep family background. I thank you for your youth and promising talent. I have a chance to be with you. I have a chance to be with you and have two colleagues. I am so lucky."
Tuli laughed and said, "In your Chinese language, it is a blessing for three lives to cultivate."
Di Zhixun smiled and said, "Haha, the prince is indeed learning and applying it well, and is well versed in the civilization of the Han people."
"Where, Xiao Wang is a little talented and knowledgeable. If there is any inappropriateness, please don't laugh at me." Chu Lishu was humble and very well-educated at the time. If he only looked at his behavior, he really didn't look like a prince in the grassland, but a humble scholar of the Han family.
"The prince is too modest."
"It's not that modest, but that compared with the Tang Dynasty, the people of my grassland are too vulgar. As for Master Xie, Xiao Wang can only ride horses and dabble, so how can he know how to do such a major event as diplomatic relations?"
While speaking, he looked at Xie Yi intentionally or unintentionally, as if it was meaningful, and it was considered a test!
Di Zhixun suddenly understood why His Majesty the Emperor wanted to send a young man to serve as an envoy, which was obviously of profound meaning.
First of all, young people are easily despised, which is a universal attitude. When the Xueyantuo people and the Western Turkic people see their opponents, they are young men under twenty years old. Their vigilance will definitely be greatly reduced, and they may even make mistakes with arrogance and carelessness.
Although Xie Yi was in Chang'an and even famous in the Tang Dynasty, he was not clear about the land of the grassland and foreign countries. When he learned about the identity of the envoy, if he had no idea in advance, he would not have time to investigate in detail.
After all, the distance from Xue Yantuo Khan to Chang'an is not short. After a round trip and investigation, it will definitely not work without three or two months, and it will be too late.
The first moment when Shi Lishi saw Xie Yi, he looked a little surprised on his face. He probably felt that Xie Yi was too young, beyond imagination!
This is a lot of tentative meaning between the words of this time. It is obviously to ask for more information, but it is hard to say the specific purpose.
Seeing this situation, Xie Yi smiled and said, "Where is the mission of Xue Yantuo to celebrate the birthday of Zhenzhu Khan, which is the important task of the Tang Dynasty. How many people have been looking forward to it. I have always admired the magnificence of the grassland and tried many times to get this opportunity."
Tulishi said with a spring breeze: "Is that so? This is also my honor for Xue Yantuo. Xie Envoy can visit my grassland. If you can, it is best to stay for more days. At that time, Tulishi will be the host and accompany the envoy to experience the customs of my grassland."
"Thank you for your kindness. Naturally, I can't ask for it." Xie Yi immediately called out, who would like to stay on the grassland where you are not shit? I'm eager to leave as soon as possible!
The guest and the host seem to be enthusiastic and have a great conversation, but in fact they are in harmony and have no substantial content, and they are completely irrelevant and false enthusiasm.
Anyway, I was like this, and I finally saw the golden sweat tent when I walked forward. However, at this time, a group of people rushed over in the northwest... (To be continued.)
