"Reporting!"
Night, grasslands, Tujue royal court.
In the evening, the grassland coalition of ten tribes launched a fierce offensive against Tuli, causing Tuli to suffer disastrous losses. After Xieli received the battle report, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He specially set up a banquet in the royal court to entertain the ten tribal chiefs. At this time, the banquet had already ended for quite some time. Xieli was just about to rest when he heard a series of urgent shouts coming from outside the tent.
Xieli couldn't help but frown and said, "Come in!"
Although he didn't like to be disturbed when he was sleeping, Xieli knew in his heart that the soldiers outside the tent dared to come to him at this time, they definitely had urgent military information to report to him!
The curtain was lifted. A soldier dressed as a Tujue, but his face looked like a Han, quickly walked in. The soldier came to Xieli's front. His hands tightly clenched a slip of paper, he bowed to Xieli and saluted.
"Reporting to Khan, Guard Lord sent urgent information from Taiyuan. Khan, please take a look!"
Finished speaking, he raised the letter in his hands above his head.
The soldier's respectful attitude and thorough etiquette made Xieli's heart feel very comfortable. His anger from being disturbed from his rest earlier immediately dissipated a little. Speaking of which, the reason why he wanted to plot against the Central Plains, other than the rich land and abundant natural resources, there was another important reason. The people of the Central Plains had been educated in etiquette for thousands of years. The dynasties of the Central Plains also had a set of strict hierarchical system. Those in lower positions were generally respectful and courteous to those in higher positions. The grassland people, on the other hand, were mostly boorish men who liked to be straightforward. In Xieli's view, these people were all barbarians who needed to accept the education of the Central Plains' etiquette. Only in this way could he demonstrate his status and authority!
This was also one of the important reasons why he put Zhao Deyan, a Han, in an important position. It was because he wanted to move the system of the Central Plains' imperial court and the etiquette and education that had been passed down for thousands of years in the Central Plains to the grasslands. Only in this way could he be like Li Er and become a truly respected 'emperor'!
"Oh? Urgent information from Zhao Deyan? Let this khan take a look! "
When he heard that it was an urgent intelligence sent by his' trusted minister ', Xieli attached great importance to it. He quickly walked up and took the letter from the soldier's hand before opening it and reading it carefully.
"The Great Tang's Prince of Wei is leading the teachers and students of Yanhuang College to build a telegraph relay station in Taiyuan … I implore the Great Khan to send a troop of 10,000 Wolf Riders … to coordinate with the enemy … to take down Taiyuan City … to capture the Great Tang's Prince of Wei and the teachers and students of Yanhuang College alive …"
After reading the contents in his mind, Xieli put away the letter and fell into deep thought.
Obviously, he was weighing the feasibility of Zhao Deyan's plan.
After all, not long ago, because he had believed in Wu Jie's plan, he had lost fifty thousand elite wolf cavalry on the border of the Great Tang, all of them under his command. In the end, not only had he failed to obtain any of the Academy's secrets, he had even lost soldiers!
Now that Zhao Deyan had requested him to send troops to infiltrate Great Tang, he had no choice but to be cautious!
"When did Zhao Deyan send out this letter?"
After thinking for a moment, Xieli was still somewhat moved by Zhao Deyan's plan. He turned around and asked the soldier.
The messenger soldier thought for a moment before replying, "Replying to the Great Khan, based on the time, this secret letter should have been sent out by the Guard Lord this morning!"
"Mm!"
Xieli nodded thoughtfully. On the other side, the soldier seemed to have something to say but hesitated.
"Mm? What else do you have to report? "
Xieli seemed to have sensed something as he turned his head to look at the messenger soldier and asked.
"Replying to the Great Khan, according to the usual practice, the Guard Lord would use two carrier pigeons to send two letters each time he sent a letter back to prevent any accidents on the way. However, this time, the Guard Lord sent a carrier pigeon back to the grasslands, but we only received a single carrier pigeon!"
