Solange came to see Yi Nan without saying a word, and asked: "Is the Great Khan worried that the Tang Dynasty will not be willing to send troops?"
"That's right."
Yi Nan nodded, thinking from his perspective, if he were Li Shimin, he would not send troops to help Xue Yantuo.
Solange came and said: "Great Khan, I feel that the Tang Dynasty will send troops to help us. Why did the Tang Dynasty consecrate the Great Khan in the first place? It was because the Tang Dynasty did not want the Western Turks to unify the grasslands. This would pose a great threat to the Tang Dynasty. And we
It is most beneficial to the Tang Dynasty to contain each other with the Western Turks."
The reason why he helped Yi Nan so much was because Yi Nan married his daughter.
The benefits he gained were also very great, so naturally he did not want Xue Yantuo to perish.
Yi Nan's eyes lit up and he felt that Solange was right. He said excitedly: "I will arrange for people to go to Datang to ask for help."
Solange came and said: "Great Khan, let me go. I will definitely be able to get reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty."
"Okay, thank you for the hard work."
Yi Nan also didn't trust the other leaders, and there were few people under him who were eloquent, so there was no good candidate at the moment.
And if Solange comes and is willing to go, it is naturally the best thing.
"The Great Khan is wise, and with the help of the Tang Dynasty, we will definitely be able to repel the Western Turks' attack."
"Haha, defeating the Western Turks is nothing. I think we can even destroy the Western Turks and unify the grassland."
The leaders of various tribes also felt that it was very likely that the Tang Dynasty would send troops, and they all started to flatter him.
Yi Nan sneered in his heart. These people were just idlers. After he defeated the Western Turks, he would naturally have time to deal with them slowly.
However, the phrase "unify the grassland" still made him excited.
With the help of the Tang Dynasty, there may not be a chance of unifying the grassland.
Yi Nan soon calmed down. Datang helped him because he did not want the Western Turks to unify the grasslands, so naturally they would not let him unify the grasslands.
If his situation were now reversed with that of the Western Turks, it is very likely that the Tang Dynasty would help the Western Turks to defeat him.
With Xue Yantuo's current situation, there was no time to waste. Solange took some of his people to Datang that day.
The border guard learned that Solange was here as an envoy, so he sent people to investigate carefully and found that there was no ambush. In addition, Solange only brought fifty people with him, so he opened the city gate.
Not only that, while he sent people to report to the superiors, he also sent people to escort Solange and his party to Chang'an.
Solange naturally knew that the so-called escort was surveillance, but he didn't care. Anyway, he was really on a mission this time and had no other purpose, so he was naturally not afraid of surveillance.
The next day, the news about the envoy sent by Xue Yantuo reached Li Shimin.
He knew without thinking what Xue Yantuo's purpose was.
Li Shimin thought this was a good opportunity. He sent Lin Xuan to the border, wasn't it just so that if one of the parties lost too quickly, he could intervene in time to let them fight more and consume their strength.
Before, he was worried that once Lin Xuan intervened and Xi Tujue and Xue Yantuo reacted and stopped fighting, it would take more effort to deal with them.
Now that Xue Yantuo came to visit him on his own initiative, even if the Tang Dynasty sent troops, Xue Yantuo would not doubt him.
The Western Turks must be suspicious, but Lin Xuan only has 10,000 troops, so Nishu probably won't take it to heart.
The most important thing is that there is no turning back when he shoots the bow. Nishu's body is doomed that even if he has doubts, he can only take a gamble.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin directly ordered Xue Yantuo's envoy to go directly to Shuofang City instead of Chang'an. Someone would naturally go to talk to them then.
This person was naturally Lin Xuan. In order to facilitate negotiations, Li Shimin also gave Lin Xuan the official position of chief military officer of the Dingxiang Road March.
The so-called marching general was only appointed temporarily during wartime and was abolished when the war ended.
The administrative units of the Tang Dynasty were divided into roads, prefectures, and counties, and the chief military officer of Dingxiang Road had the power to mobilize all the troops and horses in Dingxiang Road, but he only had the power of command and no power of personnel appointment.
But even so, the power to control a military power is very great. However, Lin Xuan, the general manager of the Dingxiang Road March, only has a name and no real power.
Solange was halfway there. When he received the news, he was first surprised and then ecstatic.
Doesn't Datang's actions indicate that Datang intends to help Xue Yantuo?
Solange turned his horse's head happily and headed towards Shuofang City.
…
Lin Xuan was a little confused when he received Li Shimin's appointment. He was promoted before the battle was even fought.
But after reading Li Shimin's letter, I understood what Li Shimin meant.
"Congratulations, Chief Manager." Cheng Chumo and others congratulated.
"Forget it, this is just temporary, you should just call me General."
The general manager sounded the same as the eunuch, but the general sounded more pleasant to the ears.
Lin Xuan did not delay and went to Shuofang City the next day.
The guard of Shuofang City checked the imperial edict several times and found no problems, so he believed Lin Xuan's words.
There is no way, Lin Xuan is too young.
After confirming that there was no problem, he naturally cooperated with Lin Xuan and directly gave up his house.
Lin Xuan didn't refuse. After all, the guard's house was considered the best in Shuofang City. As the general manager of the march, he would be suspected if his house was too poor.
When Lin Xuan had arranged everything, Solange also arrived at Shuofang City.
Lin Xuan was not in a hurry to get straight to the point, but instead hosted a banquet in honor of Solange.
Xue Yantuo took the initiative to ask for help, and Datang was prepared to agree. However, if he agreed too readily, it would arouse the other party's suspicion.
When Solange came and saw that Lin Xuan was so young, he was a little suspicious and tried to test Lin Xuan's identity in words.
When he learned that Lin Xuan was the consort of the Tang Dynasty and was married to the emperor's favorite princess, Solange let go of his worries.
After three rounds of drinking, Solange still didn’t mention it when he came to see Lin Xuan. He couldn’t wait any longer and said, “General Manager, I’m here this time…”
"We won't talk about business today. We'll talk about anything tomorrow. We'll just drink today. Drinking is not allowed in the army. I'm really depressed. I'm going to use the excuse of entertaining your envoy to have a good time this time." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Solange opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing.
There was no way, Lin Xuan, a well-connected person, looked like a playboy, he really didn't dare to disobey Lin Xuan.
If he can't reach an agreement here, who knows what the situation in the grassland will be like if he goes to Chang'an again and is delayed like this.
Lin Xuan secretly laughed in his heart, what he wanted was for Solange to lose his position.
As for pretending to be a dandy, it is also for the convenience of negotiation.
When Lin Xuan put forward the conditions, he looked like he would not send troops unless he agreed. Solange was anxious, and as long as it was not too harsh, he could only agree.
After the banquet was over, Lin Xuan asked someone to take Solange down to rest.
Early the next morning, before Lin Xuan got up, Liu Da came to report that Solange was here.
Lin Xuan asked Liu Da to take the people to the hall, and after waiting for a long time, he came to the hall as if he was not awake.
"Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with your hospitality? Why don't you take more rest?" Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Solange cursed in his mind, "You sleep comfortably, can I sleep?"
"General Manager, I have a business mission this time. Naturally, I dare not slack off until the matter is resolved." Solange said.
Lin Xuan patted his forehead and said, "If you didn't tell me, I almost forgot. What are you doing here this time?" Lin Xuan looked like he just remembered.
