Du Qi quickly calculated in his heart.
Now that the Turks' vitality was greatly damaged, Xieli could not mobilize troops south in a short time. Especially now in the Turks' territory, only Shbarghu still had elites. Even if Xieli had power in the Turks, Xieli's power was not strong enough to destroy Shbarghu.
Giving Shbarghu food would most likely make Shbarghu stronger. At that time, Shbarghu would sweep away Xieli and unify the entire Turks.
This was what Du Qi did not want to see.
The Turks that Du Qi hoped to see were divided Turks. Only in this way, the Turks would be busy with internal strife and could not go south. Therefore, from this point of analysis, Du Qi could not give food.
Du Qi did not speak for a while.
Shbarghu was anxious, he said, "Du Qi, I know you have money. If you had enough money, it would be easy for you to buy food. Therefore, I sincerely hope that you can lend me a hand. "
Du Qi said, "This is not easy to do!"
Shbarghu said, "What do you mean?"
Du Qi said, "The food you need is naturally not a little bit. If it is a few thousand catties of food, I can give it to you. The problem is, the food Khan needs, I am afraid it is tens of thousands of dan. "
"How can I provide such a huge amount? Therefore, this matter needs to be met with His Majesty and asked for food. Shbarghu, my suggestion is that you immediately meet with His Majesty and ask His Majesty to give food. "
"Of course, I can give you some advice. If you want to get food without paying any price, it is definitely impossible. So you need to give an equivalent exchange. If you give enough sheep, you can exchange for food. "
Speaking of this, Du Qi paused for a while and said, "But even so, I think this matter is not easy. Because the Tang dynasty is just established, it also needs a large amount of food. "
Hearing this, Shbarghu sighed in his heart.
This matter is not easy!
In fact, when he met Li Yuan before, he had already mentioned that he needed food. But in the end, Li Yuan denied it and did not give him any food. After all, food was needed everywhere in the Tang dynasty.
That was why Shembala came to Du Qi.
What's more, in fact, Shaluo had already been operating in Chang 'an City. He hoped to get food and then return with a full load. The problem was that he didn't gain anything, so in the end, he came to Du Qi for help.
Who would have thought that he would be shut out again?
Du Qi thought for a while and suddenly said, "Actually, it shouldn't be difficult for you to obtain food."
"What do you mean?" Shemo Ba's mind suddenly became active.
Du Qi said with a straight face, "The Tang dynasty allows mutual trading. Therefore, after you return to Turkic territory, you can mobilize people and exchange your flock of sheep for food at the border markets. Because a large number of businessmen would go there to do business. It's easy for these merchants to buy and sell grain. "
Shibo Zhu sighed. What he thought was that returning with food was tantamount to a hero's triumphant return.
But going back to the exchange market would be too slow.
There was no such effect.
Shibo Zhu took a deep breath and said, "Well, since Young Master Du also has no food, then forget it."
Du Qi said, "Khan, I have another suggestion."
"Say it!"
Shibo Zhu said succinctly.
Du Qi said seriously, "You are the Young Khan of Turkic. Now Turkic has suffered an unprecedented blow. Who was the one at fault here? It's Xieli's fault. If Xieli didn't tear up the alliance, such a thing wouldn't have happened. "
"After you go back, you can take this opportunity to make trouble and take down Xieli."
"I can assure you that as the Great Khan of Turkic, the Tang dynasty is willing to not invade Turkic, and even the Tang dynasty is willing to sell food to ensure that Turkic can survive the winter smoothly."
Du Qi said, "I'll do the business of persuading His Majesty."
Shibo Zhu narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth. "Du Qi, you are so cruel."
Du Qi said, "What do you mean by that, Khan?"
Shibo Zhu said in a deep voice, "What you said is nothing more than to bewitch me, to let me go back and send troops to attack Xieli, to make Turkic internal strife. This is what you want to achieve. "
Du Qi was a little surprised.
Shibo Zhu was really not simple. After all, he was the Young Khan of Turkic.
He really needed Turkic internal strife.
He even wanted to weaken Turkic further, so he bewitched Shibo Zhu to go back and kill Xieli. Xieli's strength was not weak. Even if Shibo Zhu won, both sides would suffer losses if he wanted to kill Xieli.
At least for three to five years, or even longer, Turkic side would not be able to recover its strength.
This was the Tang dynasty's chance.
Du Qi did not admit it, saying, "Shibo Zhu, you doubt my intention. Since you don't believe me. Then let's forget about what I mentioned. "
Pausing, Du Qi said, "If I really want to promote internal strife among the Turks, logically speaking, I should support Xieli, because Xieli's strength has suffered an unprecedented blow. Only by supporting Xieli can he go around attacking the various Turks, and only then can we ensure internal strife among the Turks."
Hearing this, Shibo Zhu said, "Du Qi, Xieli is not so weak. He doesn't need anyone to support him."
Du Qi said seriously, "In the battle of Yanmen Pass, Xieli's forces have been lost countless. Now he is at his weakest. In Turkic internal strife, people who do not obey Xieli will come out in batches. "
"So, Xieli will only become more and more weak."
"Especially when winter is coming, it is also a test for Turkic, and there will be even more people who hate Xieli. Because of Xieli's rash advance, he has caused countless losses, so he is in the current situation. "
Du Qi said, "Everything is because of countless people who hate Xieli."
Hearing this, Shibo Zhu pondered.
Du Qi's words made sense.
Now was Xieli's weakest time, he might be able to replace him.
In fact, Shibo Zhu had the idea of replacing Xieli. But Shibo Zhu believed that Xieli still had a backup plan, and his strength was definitely not weak, so it was not a suitable time to be Xieli's enemy.
After Du Qi's analysis, Shibo Zhu believed that this was indeed a good opportunity.
He had to act now.
If it was too late, when Xieli recovered, he could only be a little khan for the rest of his life. Moreover, Shibo Zhu still had some thoughts about Yang Li. His uncles had all tasted this woman's taste. As the son of Shibi Khan, he naturally wanted to inherit the fine tradition, so he hoped to give it a try.
Hearing this, Shibo Zhu said, "Du Qi, can you guarantee that when I go back, the Tang dynasty will be willing to sell me enough food, so that I can guarantee the Turkic children can survive the winter?"
"Of course!"
Du Qi chuckled. "This is not difficult. After all, no one is willing to stop such a thing. Moreover, the Tang people also like Turkic sheepskin, animal skin, and even agate, pearls, and jade. Even if there is no government, there are countless merchants who are willing to buy these. And they have enough food, so your worry is completely unnecessary. "
Shibo Zhu said, "That's good, that's good."
Shibo Zhu went to the Tang dynasty, formed an alliance with the Tang dynasty, and obtained the support of the Tang dynasty. Because when he met Li Yuan, Li Yuan promised that when necessary, the Tang dynasty could help Shibo Zhu and was willing to help Shibo Zhu.
In fact, Shibo Zhu was not willing.
Once the Tang dynasty sent troops, it would definitely affect the Turkic people.
Some people would also say that he colluded with the Tang people.
Shibo Zhu wanted to win and take the power of the Turkic people. His first choice was to defeat Xieli himself and take the power of the Turkic people, which was something that no one could criticize.
This was an internal fight, and no one could say anything.
Once Shibo Zhu asked the Tang dynasty to send troops, many people would think that he was colluding with foreign enemies. Under such circumstances, even if Shbalom won, there would still be many people who wouldn't be convinced.
Shibo Zhu did not stay any longer. He said, "I'm going to leave and return to the Turkic people."
Du Qi said, "Khan, you should go back. If you delay and don't go back, I'm afraid the situation in the Turkic people will change dramatically. At that time, you will not be able to control it."
"Goodbye!"
Shibo Zhu got up and left.
Du Qi looked at Shili Bo Sheng's departing figure with a smile on his face. He was looking forward to the conflict between Shibo Zhu and Xieli when he returned to the grassland.
