After talking with Du Qi, Xieli stayed in his tent. He didn't go anywhere in the morning and didn't see anyone.
Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.
At this time, Xieli had actually already thought things through very clearly in his heart. His heart was already certain of his decision. The current situation of the Turks was not optimistic. On one hand, he wanted to reorganize the Turks and strengthen his power and prestige. On the other hand, he wanted to send people to Chang 'an, especially those who didn't obey him.
Whoever didn't obey his order, he would send them. This was his plan.
In short, he had to solve the internal problem first.
The reason why Xieli had doubts about controlling the Turks was that he had just inherited the Khan position. The time was too short. Even though many people respected him as the Lord of the Turks, in fact, each tribe had its own system and did things their own way. So Xieli didn't have much control over them.
This was the problem Xieli was facing.
In fact, it was also the problem any new Monarch faced. This was the same principle since ancient times.
With a plan, Xieli immediately arranged for people to gather Kangsumi, Shibo, Simo and other Turks tribe leaders. Xieli looked around and said, "I just received the Tang dynasty's envoy, Du Qi, and negotiated with Du Qi."
"Du Qi said that the Tang dynasty is willing to release Zhishi Sili and his people and is willing to dissolve the war with the Turks. The Tang dynasty's precondition is that the Turks and the Tang dynasty sign an agreement to stop fighting. "
"In addition, the Tang dynasty will also open a bazaar at the border of Daizhou to facilitate mutual trade. So our Turks can sell fur and so on in the bazaar to earn money to buy food and so on."
Xieli said seriously, "Of course, the Tang dynasty also made a request to us. In order to show our sincerity, they need us to send one person to Chang 'an to meet the Emperor of the Tang dynasty."
He didn't say it was to be a hostage.
He only said it was to be sent to Chang 'an to meet the Emperor of the Tang dynasty to reach an agreement.
Xieli explained the general situation, and then with a stern countenance he said, "This is the condition we discussed with the Tang dynasty. What do you think?"
Shbara Khan's eyes were sharp as he said aggressively, "Khan, didn't we agree that the Tang dynasty should give us at least 500,000 dans of grain and a certain amount of silk? What are the conditions for this? "
Xieli said, "The Tang dynasty is unwilling to agree to our conditions. Du Qi said that no matter what, the Tang dynasty would not agree. According to Du Qi, our conditions are humiliating to the Tang dynasty. The Tang dynasty would rather go to war than give us money and food. "
Shbarozhi swept a glance at Xieli, his eyes seemed to have contempt. He said coldly, "Khan, in my opinion, if the Tang dynasty does not agree to our conditions, then we should kill them first, and then send our troops to approach Daizhou. As long as we break Daizhou, we'll be able to take food and women for ourselves. I don't believe that the northern border of the Tang dynasty can stop our army. "
Xieli said, "Bastard, if you do this, how will you protect the lives of Zhi Sili and his men?"
Shbarozhi raised his head and looked straight at Xieli. He said firmly, "As a warrior of the Turks, Zhi Sili became a captive and lost the face of the Turks. He deserves to die! Especially because Zhi Sili was captured, it caused our negotiations with the Tang dynasty to be restricted in every way. To put it bluntly, Zhi Sili is the sinner of the Turks. "
Xieli's face immediately darkened.
Damn Shbarozhi!
He was always going against him. He was already kind enough to Shbarozhi, but Shbarozhi was still not satisfied.
"Khan, I have something to say."
At this moment, a deep and loud voice sounded. It was Simo who stood up. Simo was now nearly forty years old. Among the Turks, his age was considered relatively old. In fact, in terms of seniority, Simo was also relatively old among the Turks.
Simo's full name was Ashina Simo, and he was a Turk noble.
In the nineteenth year of Emperor Wen, Qimin Khan faced internal strife and fled to Great Sui for help. After Qimin Khan left the Turks, the remaining tribe leaders supported Simo, who was a noble, as the Turk Khan.
At that time, Simo became the ruler of the Turks.
However, Simo was really rational, and he knew that the power he held was illusory. In truth, he did not have any strength, and it was not wrong to say that he was just a puppet. So when Qimin Khan obtained the support of Great Sui and brought troops back to the Turks, Simo stepped down and once again supported Qimin Khan as the ruler of the Turks.
Due to that, Simo was highly valued by Qimin Khan. When Qimin Khan died, Shibi Khan and Chuluo Khan took over, and they also placed a lot of importance on Simo.
Not only because Simo knew the rules of the Turks, but he was also really smart and knew when to advance and retreat. However, after Xieli took over, although he had high hopes for Simo. From start to finish, Xieli did not let Simo take control of the military.
Now, Simo was just Xieli's strategist.
Simo walked to the tent and stood still. After bowing to Xieli, he turned to look at Shibo and said, "Tuli Khan, I have something to say. Because Tuli Khan did not understand Khan's intentions. "
Shibo said, "What intentions does he have?"
Simo said seriously, "Khan's intentions are actually very simple. In the situation where Zhi Sili was captured, no matter what, the Turks will be at a disadvantage in the negotiations with the Tang dynasty. "
"So now that the Tang dynasty has given us the conditions, we will temporarily pretend to agree."
"This is to exchange for Zhi Sili."
"When Zhi Sili and his group return to the Turks, we will have no more worries and can send troops to Daizhou. Even if we have an agreement with the Tang dynasty, we only need one reason to start a war, and attacking Daizhou is very easy. "
Simo said frankly and with assurance, "By taking Daizhou, we will have shown our strength to the Tang dynasty, and the Tang dynasty will have to behave. At this time, the envoys sent to the Tang dynasty will not be hostages, and there will be no need to be alarmed. Instead, they will be going to Chang 'an to show off the Turks' strength. "
Xieli nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "What Simo said is this khan's idea. The so-called regardless of whether Zhi Sili is dead or alive, that will not do. When fighting with the Tang dynasty, we still need to talk about strategy. "
Now, Xieli planned to reorganize the internal affairs.
But before that, he wanted to convince the tribes, so he had to exchange Zhi Sili and his group back. Then he would break Daizhou and demonstrate to the Tang dynasty. At that time, the envoys would go to the Tang dynasty to form an alliance. And when he led the army back to the Turks, he could calm down and reorganize the internal affairs.
Simo got Xieli's approval. He bowed and sat down.
Shibo snorted and said no more.
He had to admit that Simo's words were very reasonable, and it was the most reliable arrangement. And indeed, they had to exchange Zhi Sili and his group back first. Otherwise, everything would not work.
It was a joke to say that regardless of Zhi Sili and his group.
Kang Sumi agreed, "Khan is wise. As long as we exchange Zhi Sili, we will have nothing to worry about. When it's time to act, we will act directly. "
"Yes!"
Khan Xieli had a smile on his face.
After a pause, Khan Xieli said, "Now, it's about finalizing the candidate for the envoys."
Speaking to here, Khan Xieli's eyes turned and fell on Shibo. He said, "Shibo, you are a young khan in the Turks, you can represent this khan. This khan hopes that as the Turks' envoy, you will go to Chang 'an and form an alliance with the Tang dynasty. "
After Shibo heard this, a trace of mockery flashed through his eyes.
As expected!
He was really sending him.
Shibo did not say anything, and his subordinates, according to the agreement yesterday, did not wait for Shibo to stand out and express his opinion, they all opened their mouths to oppose. If these people did not oppose, it would be easy to make Xieli suspicious.
Under normal circumstances, as long as it was Shibo's people who heard Khan Xieli's words, they would all oppose Shibo's going.
Xieli said in a deep voice, "My arrangement is not for personal gain, but for the overall situation of the Turks."
Speaking to here, Xieli looked at Shibo and said, "Shibo, what do you think?"
When Shibo and Du Qi were talking, they had already decided to go. Now that Xieli asked, he took the opportunity to say, "Khan, since you have said so, what else can I say? Moreover, this is for the sake of the Turks' further prosperity. As the young khan of the Turks, I have the obligation to contribute for the Turks, so I am willing to go. "
In his heart, he secretly praised Du Qi's shrewdness, as expected of the envoy of the Tang dynasty.
Going to Chang 'an to form an alliance with the Tang dynasty and obtain the support of the Tang dynasty was beneficial to him. Even as he spoke, he looked over at his subordinates. None of them dared to say another word, and simply kept their mouths shut.
Xieli did not think too much. Seeing Shibo agree, he was very happy and praised, "Not bad, not bad, as expected of the young khan of the Turks. Now get ready to go as the envoy. "
At this moment, Xieli was looking forward to it.
In the Turks, Shibo had his own sphere of influence and often made things difficult for him, causing him to be put on the spot many times. Now that Shibo was going to leave temporarily, he had a chance to adjust the internal situation.
Seeing that no one spoke, Xieli was somewhat proud. Now that Shibo was willing to go to Chang 'an, the overall situation was settled. Xieli waved his hand and said, "Since you have no objection, then now, gather the people of the Tang dynasty's envoy group and finalize the matter."
Kangsumi said, "Khan is wise, it should be settled as soon as possible. We have left them hanging for a few days, but the Tang dynasty's envoy group is not the least bit impatient, it is really surprising. "
Xieli did not answer and arranged someone to inform them.
Not long after, Du Qi and Zhangsun Shunde came in together. After the two stood still, Du Qi took the lead and said, "Khan called us here, could it be that you have made a decision and finally don't leave us hanging?"
Xieli was pushed, but he did not say anything. He said, "This khan has made a decision to agree to your request. As long as the Tang dynasty side is willing to release Zhishi Sili and his men, this khan will send Shibo as the envoy of the envoy group to the Tang dynasty. "
"Alright!"
Du Qi also smiled and agreed.
The matter was settled.
At this point, all his plans were completed, and he also achieved the mission of the envoy.
