"The Great Protector, the Basimi tribes, have been oppressed by the Turks for generations. The most beautiful women in the clan, the strongest horses, and the tallest bulls, have to be sent to the Turkic king's tent every year. The Turks do not allow us to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty. Every time we show a little bit of admiration for the Khan of Heaven, we will send troops to fight, wuwuwu, wuwuwu..."

In the temporary headquarters of the Anxi Grand Duke, Mei Wu, the external minister of Bashimi, knelt on the ground, with his nose and tears in his hands, accusing the Turks of all kinds of evil deeds. When talking about the sadness, he cried heartbroken.

"Yes!" Anxi Dadu Niu Shizhao nodded and expressed his appreciation for Mei Wu's acting skills. Then he patiently picked up the teacup and quietly waited for the other party's following while drinking.

Similar crying, in recent days, he has to "appreciate" one or two shows every day, and the content of the lines has basically not changed much, and the difference is just the messenger's performance skills.

The Tang army ran for more than two hundred miles and launched an attack on the Geluo King's tent. Then within an hour, the resistance of the elite Geluo headquarters was shattered, and the medicine Geluo Chengzong and all the civil and military officials under him were captured alive. This record was so scary that all listeners fought.

Although Niu Shizhao and Zhang Qian planned this battle, the main purpose was to avoid the Geluo tribe secretly colluding with the Turks and threatening the Anxi Army's back, and "killing the chicken to warn the monkey" was just a casual move. However, the chiefs of the tribes on the east and west sides of Jinshan were scared by the ending of the Geluo tribe.

After learning the news, the chiefs of the tribes such as Basimi, Xiagas, Dubo, Guligan, Uighur, Wutiande sent out their respective envoys and unanimously announced that the tribe had prepared food, grass, wine and water to "welcome the king's army."

The king's army was reasoning. This was the experience that the chiefs and elders of various tribes had long summarized when dealing with the Tang court. The Turkic army had never obtained any advantage in the hands of the king's army since the previous year. This is also a fact that the chiefs and elders of various tribes could see.

Another fact that they could see was that two tribes that were closely related to the Turks, Tuqishi and Geluo, were crushed by the Anxi Army. In this way, in the upcoming duel, where should they stand? The chiefs and elders of each tribe still need to think carefully?

"The Great Protector, even if he was forced by the Turks, I, the Basimi tribe, still never forgot the kindness of Tiankang of the Tang Dynasty. "I found that my complaints could not touch Niu Shizhao's heart, Mei Wu, the foreign minister of Basimi, thought about it and quickly changed direction. "In recent years, all merchants from Central Plains, as long as they arrived at our tribe, were regarded as first-class distinguished guests. Mo Chuan Khan; in recent invasions of the south, I asked me to send troops to follow me, and my troops also found various excuses to shirk, and never sent a soldier!"

"So, it is natural for your troops to send troops to invade the Tang Dynasty?" Niu Shixuan's eyes quickly widened, and dark clouds rolled on his face.

"I dare not, I dare not, Daduo, I will listen to the explanation, listen to the explanation!" Mei Wu was so scared that he trembled, and quickly lay down and kowtowed hard, "I don't mean this. I just said that I, Bashimi, have never offended the Tang Dynasty. In the future, I will never dare to offend in the future!"

"Hmph!" Niu Shizhao glanced at Zhang Qian and found that the latter did not give him any hints, so he continued to frown and snort coldly.

"Major Protector, I have been suffering from the Turks for a long time!" Seeing that my previous moves did not work, Mei Wu, the external minister of the Bajor Protector, made a loud promise, "The king's army wants to practice the way for heaven and destroy the Turks today. I am willing to provide two thousand males and let the Dajor Protector dispatch it!"

"Two thousand males? Does my husband's command seem to be strong enough?" Niu Shizhao curled his lips, put down the teacup, and tapped the table with his fingers.

"Ku tuk!" The sound of knocking was very low, but when it fell into the ears of Mei Wu, the foreign minister of Ximi, it seemed like thunder. The latter immediately blushed and changed his words loudly, "No, it's not just two thousand, two thousand males, but only the first batch, directly drawn from the near the sweat tent. Next, another three thousand can be drawn from each department. A total of five thousand, all of them are young and under the age of thirty, and they will be handed over to the Great Protector to dispatch."

"Forget it, there are so many people, I have to prepare military rations for them!" Niu Shizhao rolled his eyes and curled his lips very disdainfully.

"No, there is no need for the protection of the Great Protector. They all bring their own dry food and war horses." Mei Wu, the foreign minister of Basilimu, shivered again and hurriedly took the initiative to increase the price. "In addition, from Jinshan to Langjuxu, whenever the King passes by my Basilimu divisions, each division must prepare the camp, rice, grain and meat in advance to thank the King for helping me relieve my uproar!"

What is a sauté? That's it! Niu Shizhao finally waited for the promise he wanted, put away the anger he had made on his face, and waved to Mei Wu with a smile, "Well, Ben Dugu knows the kindness of Ba Simi's tribes. Go back and tell your Khan that his respect for Tian Khan will definitely report the truth."

"Thank you, the Great Protector!" Ba Simi leaned over to the ground and kowtowed hard. "I came in a hurry and did not bring any gifts to Tian Khan and the Great Protector. But my little khan had ordered people to prepare five hundred beef cattle, a thousand horses and ten thousand sheep, and were rushing towards Jinshan."

"Thank you, Khan, the cattle, sheep, horses, are what the army lacks. I will not be polite to him!" Niu Shizhao smiled and nodded softly again.

"Also, there are twenty kilograms of gold, three dou of pearls, and fifty beauties." Fearing that the gifts were not enough, Mei Wu continued to add loudly, "Beauties, gold and pearls are all dedicated to Tian Khan. The ones for the protection of the Great Master are ten BMWs, twenty beauties, gold..."

"No, what's the point of asking for your beauty!" Before he could finish his gift list, Niu Shiqian waved his hand to interrupt, "You can send someone to the gift to the Lord. The road from Jinshan to the sandbank has been opened again. Your messenger will set off now and you will be able to walk to Chang'an in the latest two months. As for the gift to me, leave BMW, and forget about the others!"

"Hmm!" The marching chief Zhang Qian choked the water while drinking tea and coughed in a low voice.

"Then gold, gold and pearls?" Mei Wu didn't know whether Niu Shizhao was polite to him or really didn't want it, so he hesitated and whispered to test.

"Gold and pearls are also replaced with horses, and I will leave them to reward my brothers." Niu Shizhao looked at Zhang Qian again, smiled, and waved his hand hard, "It's settled, you go back. In addition, let your Khan send his youngest son to Chang'an to study."

"As for the order!" Seeing that Niu Shizhao was willing to accept the thank-you gift, Mei Wu, the foreign minister of Basimi, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He kowtowed three times to the back of the Shuai Case, got up, and thanked him with great gratitude.

"Slow down!" Before his feet could pass the door, Niu Shizhuan suddenly called him from behind and continued to give a deep command, "Let your Khan notify his subordinates that if there is any news about Turkic troops, report to the nearby Tang army immediately. If the information provided is accurate, Benduguard will thank the person who reported the news and the tribe he is in. If the Turkic people find out but do not report the news to the Tang army, or even secretly provide convenience to the Turkic people, hum, if Benduguard discovers, don't blame Benduguard for being too ruthless!"

"Yes, the villain understands. Don't worry, after the villain returns, he immediately asked my khan to order his subordinates to order him to all his subordinates. He will never indulge anyone and secretly interact with the Turks!" Mei Wu, the external minister of the Basilian tribe, shook his body, and responded loudly with a hot head. "If anyone dares to help the Turks, there is no need for the Dadu to give the order, the warriors of our troops will kill his whole family immediately!"

"You should do it yourself!" Niu Shizhao shook his hand out and reminded him impatiently.

"Thank you, Dadu!" Mei Wu raised his hand and wiped it on his face a few times, bent down again, and walked backwards out of the military tent.

"How damn it, I'm almost treating myself as a bandit!" Hearing his footsteps far away, Niu Shixuan turned his head and glanced at Zhang Qian, "complained" in a angrily manner.

According to his idea, the Tang Dynasty was the supreme country of the Celestial Empire, and the Anxi Army was a benevolent and righteous army. The grassland tribes rushed to show their respect, so they should treat each other with courtesy and thank them for any contributions from the absolute party.

However, Zhang Qian insisted that he should follow the customs of the countryside. The grassland tribes have always had a tradition of dedicating to the strong. At this moment, as the Niu Shi Award, as the Great Protector of Anxi, if he did not accept the contributions from each tribe, it would make the chiefs of each tribe unable to feel at ease and even doubt the strength of the Anxi Army.

Accepting gifts from each tribe is equivalent to announcing that the things that each tribe did in the past will be eliminated. In the future, if each tribe wants to be a loyal vassal of the Tang Dynasty or an enemy of the Tang Dynasty, it depends on the performance of each tribe in this battle to fight against the Turks.

Niu Shizhao could not refute it, so for days, he could only reluctantly put on a look of ignoring the envoys sent by various tribes in the grassland. He often sarcastically expressed his contempt for the Khans of various tribes.

As a result, the benefits of doing so were far unexpected. The envoys sent by the divisions not only did not leave in anger, but instead took the initiative to increase their investments and provide various help and supplies to the Tang army. It was estimated that if the divisions could keep their promises and the war could end before May next year, the Anxi Army would not have to consume a piece of military ration or a penny of copper coins for this trip, and even a slight surplus!

However, in this way, Niu Shizhao's personal reputation was completely over. The word "benevolence and righteousness" has nothing to do with him in his life! Many notorious names such as "greed for money, lust, cruelty, and warlike" will surely follow him like a shadow.

There are even rumors on the grassland that the reason why the King's tent of the Geluo tribe was sanctioned by the Tang army was not because the Khan Chengzong of the tribe had made way for the Turks, but because the foreign minister of the ministry promised to give the Niu Shi award was too little, and it failed to satisfy the old general's gluttonous appetite.

"The Great Protector is a military general. It is the honor of the general who can make the enemy country hate and fear, and even make up his rumors!" Zhang Qian was very good at enlightening people, and in one sentence, it dispelled the annoyance in Niu Shizhao's heart.

"This is right, but unfortunately it's not that 'can stop the child from crying at night!'" Niu Shizhao stroked his beard and smiled so proudly.

"And more than that!" Zhang Qian smiled and continued to add sincerely, "If the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty were like our Anxi Army, they could earn a lot of livestock and food every time they fought with the enemy, what reason would there be for those censors in the court to prevent the army from going west from the Pamir Mountains? In this way, regaining the old land of Anxi and rebuilding the Persian Protectorate, it will be just around the corner!"
