The desert is mixed with earthy yellow, yellow sand and white snow, representing the two extremes of heat and cold. Now it is blended together, which seems a bit contradictory, and this contradiction is exactly what the Tiel Xueyantu tribe also gave Khan Yishuo Bo's mood at this time.

Previously, he sent an envoy to the east to find out the news. When the envoy came back, he brought good news:

The Zhou State's high-ranking official happened to be in Guazhou, meeting with envoys from the Western Regions and Hu merchants, and encouraged everyone to come to Guazhou to do business, so he welcomed Khan to visit.

He also did not dare to go there rashly, and sent an envoy to discuss specific matters. However, the other party continued to "invitation" and invited him to meet him in Guazhou.

Therefore, Khan is now struggling with whether he should go.

He was afraid of the tragic ending of more than a hundred Tiel leaders being massacred during a party a few years ago.

Yi Shibo was the leader of the Tiel Xueyantu tribe, and the Tielou tribes surrendered to the Turks. Later, they could not stand the harsh exploitation of the Western Turks and had many complaints.

At that time, the Western Turkic Datou Khan was defeated, and Ashina Daman replaced him. Nijuechuluo Khan believed that the Tiel tribes had a tendency to rebel, so he took advantage of the opportunity to convene the leaders of Tiel tribes to discuss matters and killed more than a hundred Tiel leaders attending the meeting.

The other party was so cruel that the Tiel tribes dared not speak out, but the leader of the Xueyantuo tribe, Yi Shibo, who "dares to be angry and dared to speak out", could not swallow this breath. He led his troops to escape and established the Khanate, together with Gelen, the leader of the Qie tribe, and led his troops to escape and establish his own Khanate.

Gelen claimed that he was Yiwuzhen and did not express his gratitude to Khan. Yi Shibo claimed that he was also the Khan and took Xueyantuo's tribe to settle in the Yanmo Mountain area.

For the development of the tribe, Khan was worried and led his troops to attack everywhere, trying to surrender to some small tribes and make them surrender to themselves in order to strengthen their strength or seek some benefits to stabilize the hearts of the people of the tribe.

During this process, he led his troops eastward to attack the Guazhou area of ​​Zhou State, but suffered a great loss and suffered considerable casualties.

At this time, if you should give in, you have to give in. Khan quickly sent an envoy to apologize to Zhou State and expressed his willingness to sue Zhou State and seek asylum.

In fact, I just want some benefits to make up for the losses.

Zhou State did not argue about this and did not make any further statements. However, he was willing to open a border market with Yeshen Khan. However, Xueyantuo's tribe did not have much goods to sell, so the relationship between the two sides was lukewarm.

Now, the Zhou State has a high-ranking official in Guazhou, which is an opportunity for Ye Yan Khan. If he can take this opportunity to gain some benefits from Zhou State, that would be great, but if he goes to Guazhou State to govern Dunhuang, he is caught and slashed by the other party...

Dunhuang is also known as "Mingsha", and Yesan Khan is now camping in the desert more than a hundred miles away from Dunhuang. He wants to go to Dunhuang and ride a horse and arrives in one day, but after hesitating for several days, he is still unable to make up his mind.

Now, looking at the expected gaze of the disciples and the dilapidated tent in the cold wind, Khan also knew that he had to take this risk, otherwise life would become more and more difficult if he continued like this.

If he could surrender on the surface and get some benefits from the Zhou State, it would be very helpful to inspire people. And Khan also realized that the reason why Khan of the Western Turks left him alone was because he had to deal with the Khan of the Eastern Turks' Yili Zhendou Qimin.

In a few years, when Nijuechuluo Khan recovers, he may not let go of the Xueyantuo tribe and the Qiezi tribe who dare to stand on his own.

Thinking of this, Khan also gritted his teeth and said to his left and right: "Prepare your horse! Go to Dunhuang!"

......

"Buga Khan is still alive? In the West Sea?"

"That's right, but the Khan of the 'Bujia' is a presumptuous title, and the Khan should call him Datou Khan."

"Ah... it was Xiao Han who made the mistake..."

"It's okay. Since Khan is willing to serve the dynasty, I will report to the emperor for his confession. But there were many misunderstandings before. I'm afraid the emperor wants to see if Khan is sincere..."

In the Dunhuang official office, Pei Shiju, ambassador of the Western Regions, was ordered to travel west to recruit the countries of the Western Regions, and was talking to the visiting Tiel Xueyantuo tribe, who was also in a Khan. Of course, because of the language barrier, the conversation between the two sides was carried out through communication.

After Yi Khan came to Dunhuang with a nervous mood, he found that there were many envoys from many countries and many Hu merchants in the city, so he was much more contented because Zhou State could not kill him in front of so many people.

After meeting this "angel" named Pei, Khan Yeyi quickly learned something amazing from the other party: the Western Turkic Bujia Khan, who had been missing before, actually hid in Tuyuhun, the Xihai area of ​​the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains.

Faced with the request of Yeh Khan to surrender, Pei Shiju's request was very simple, that is, let Xueyantuo's troops attack Tuyuhun, which was disrespectful to Zhou State, and it would be best to capture Datou Khan, who was already in trouble, and show sincerity with specific actions.

Of course, if Xueyantuo tribe feels unsure, he can also pull the Qizi tribe to do it together.

He also knew about Tuyuhun's strength. He felt that even if he worked alone, it would be fine to give Murong Khan of Tuyuhun a "surprise". When attacking Tuyuhun, even if he could not catch Datou Khan, it would be good to take the opportunity to rob a large number of livestock.

But in order to be more confident, it is indeed best to pull Yi Wuzhen Mohe Khan to send troops together.

But since this is the case, you have to get some benefits first, otherwise you will be unstable...

Ye Khan thought so, but he didn't know how to speak. Seeing that the Zhou State official named Pei looked kind, looked like a good man, and spoke kindly, he thought for a moment and barely spoke:

"Little Khan is willing to serve the Khan of the Great Zhou Dynasty...the emperor, but... it's just that I'm a little tight now and it's winter is now. If I do something next spring, the horses that need to replenish their fatness in the winter will always eat more grass..."

Anyway, it means "I am willing to come forward to fight Tuyuhun, but can I give you some benefits before the war?"

Pei Shiju had long expected this. The emperor sent him to the west. One of the purposes was to wait for the rabbit and wait for Khan to come to contact him. Then he promised some benefits to drive the other party to serve the Zhou State.

The emperor decided to use Xueyantuo's troops as a surprise soldier to cross the Tianshan Mountains and launch a behind-the-scene attack from north to south to Tuyuhun in the Xihai area.

Now, the other party’s words are sweet, so Pei Shiju will certainly not refuse. The benefits he has prepared for a long time are something that Khan cannot refuse.

He looked at the other party with a smile and said, "Khan, three hundred iron pots, six hundred iron armor, one thousand iron knives, and ten thousand iron arrows. I wonder if it will make your warriors braver?"

"Ah? Iron, Iron, Iron..." Khan was so surprised that he couldn't speak well. After hearing the Zhou official repeated it, he was so excited that he got up and wanted to kowtow, but was supported by Pei Shiju.

Pei Shiju did not think it was a good thing to support a nomadic tribe like Xue Yantuo. It would be a disaster for raising tigers sooner or later, let alone sending iron armor and weapons. However, the Zhou State now has firearms, so the situation would be different.

The Dunhuang City, protected by artillery, was as solid as a rock. Even if tens of thousands of enemy soldiers wearing iron armor attacked, they could only flow into a river of blood in front of artillery. As for field battles, the iron armor was just like that in front of firearms.

Therefore, sending some iron armor and weapons was used to be the enemy, but now it is no big deal. If the other party is not honest, then there will naturally be an official army to deal with it in the future. Pei Shiju’s current task is to make Xue Yantuo’s tribe an obedient hunting dog.

"Khan, the emperor really wants to see how your subordinate performs, so I think there will be no surprises in the West Sea, right?"
