In just a few days, several fights broke out between the two parties.
But Nishu is not dead yet, and both parties are more restrained.
But once Ni Ri is dead, the Western Turks will surely fall into civil strife.
Lin Xuan is not optimistic about Yuan Qi, not to mention that in history, after Ni Shu died, Tong'e She inherited the throne.
Just because Yuan Qi has no power in his hands, he cannot be Tong'e She's opponent.
But Yuan Qi is a puppet candidate.
If Ashinasheer supports Yuanqi, he can be evenly matched with Tong'e and achieve the purpose of consuming the strength of the Western Turks.
Although Ashina Sheer wiped out several tribes of Western Turks when the Western Turks' rear was empty, Ashina Sheer had a grudge against the Western Turks and was not suspected.
However, Lin Xuan still needs to think carefully about how to implement it.
…
After three days of training, the minor injuries were almost healed. Although the serious injuries were not yet healed, they did not affect the march. Lin Xuan was ready to go back.
When Yi Nan learned that Lin Xuan was leaving, he did not hold back at all. All the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty were eating for him. He had long wished that Lin Xuan would get out of here.
However, Yi Nan still came to see Lin Xuan off in person.
Lin Xuan rode a lion and walked side by side on the grassland with Yi Nan.
"General Manager, Ben Khan sent me here, thanks to Datang's help this time." Yi Nan said with a smile.
Lin Xuan smiled and said: "Thank you to the Great Khan for sending us off. The Western Turks are currently in civil strife. I guess the day when the Great Khan will unify the grasslands is not far away."
"The chief manager was joking, Xue Yantuo suffered a lot of losses this time. How could he possibly annex the Western Turks?" Yi Nan said noncommittally.
Even if he had the idea of taking advantage of the civil strife in Western Turks to unify the grasslands, he would not show it.
The Tang Dynasty could help him at this time. If he wanted to unify the grasslands, wouldn't the Tang Dynasty help the Western Turks?
Lin Xuan said this just to plant a seed in Yi Nan's heart, but nothing is too much. If he said too much, Yi Nan would inevitably be suspicious, so he didn't say anything more, bowed his hand, and brought his soldiers with him.
, and rode away quickly.
After returning to the small county town where he was stationed before, and resting for a night, Lin Xuan led his soldiers to the royal city of Gaochang again.
When returning from Xue Yantuo, Lin Xuan asked Qin Huaidao to send someone to deliver a message to Ashina Sheer, asking him to meet him in the royal city of Gaochang.
As soon as he returned to the Tang Dynasty, he received news that Ashina Sheer agreed to come and see him.
Wu Junxi didn't know that Lin Xuan was coming, but Lin Xuan brought hundreds of soldiers who were all cavalry. When he entered the city, he revealed his identity, and naturally someone reported it to him.
Not long after Lin Xuan entered the city, Wu Junxi rode up to meet him.
"When the Marquis of Jingyang County comes, he should be notified so that I can greet him." Wu Jun said with a smile.
"Master Wu, as long as you don't mind my nagging, I dare not bother Master Wu to come and greet you." Lin Xuan said, cupping his hands.
"The Marquis of Jingyang County is too polite. I have already asked people to prepare wine and food. Please come to the Marquis." Wu Jun said with a smile.
"Then I'm welcome." Lin Xuan laughed and said.
Arriving at the government office, after the guests and hosts took their seats, Wu Junxi asked: "I wonder why the Marquis is here this time?"
"I came here this time because I agreed to meet Ashina Sheer here, but I am disturbing Mr. Wu." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
"They are all serving the country, so why bother?"
Although Wu Junxi was a little curious about Lin Xuan coming to see Ashina Sheer twice, he did not continue to ask.
Naturally, he would not think that Lin Xuan and Ashina Sheer had any collusion. Gu Xi
Having reached his position as an official, I know a truth: even if you know some things, you should pretend not to know them, and don't ask around.
In the evening, Wu Junxi entertained Lin Xuan warmly and also found some officials to accompany him.
By the time he left the government office, Lin Xuan was already a little tipsy.
The place where Lin Xuan lives is still the General's Mansion from last time.
Because of Hou Junji's experience, Wu Junxi and other officials strictly abide by their duties. This general's mansion is one of the best in the entire royal city of Gaochang. Although it is not even comparable to the mansions of fourth- and fifth-rank officials of the Tang Dynasty, it does not have any
No one dares to live in it, but it remains vacant.
Lin Xuan didn't care that much. As long as he didn't live in the palace, given his status, he could live anywhere else in the Gaochang Royal City.
On the second day until dusk, Ashinasheer did not arrive as promised.
"General, today is the agreed day, why didn't Ashina Sheer come? Could it be that he didn't come?" Qin Huaidao said a little strangely.
Lin Xuan shook his head with a smile and said, "He deliberately didn't come according to the agreed time. He was taking revenge on me."
"Retaliation?" Qin Huaidao didn't react for a while.
"I asked him to make a sneak attack on the rear of the Western Turks and promised that he could delay the Western Turks, but he failed to do so."
"He deliberately didn't come at the agreed time, just to tell me that if I don't abide by the agreement, he can also disobey it." Lin Xuan said calmly.
Qin Huaidao said angrily: "He is just a barbarian, and he dares to show off his face. Why don't we just go back and let him go and see the general on his own?"
Lin Xuan shook his head and said: "Although this incident was an accident, it is indeed my problem. It is normal for people to be angry. Don't worry, he will definitely come tomorrow."
Lin Xuan's guess was indeed correct. Ashinasheer arrived before noon the next day.
"Huaidao, go and greet me."
Although Lin Xuan understood Ashina Sheer's anger, understanding did not mean that he would condone Ashina Sheer, so he did not go to greet Ashina Sheer in person, but asked Qin Huaidao to go.
Qin Huaidao was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and said with a smile: "General, my subordinates will go right away."
…
Ashina Sheer saw a group of people waiting at the gate of Gaochang Royal City from a distance, and a smile appeared on his face.
However, when he got closer, he didn't see Lin Xuan's figure, and the smile on his face froze.
"Look, is there no Lin Xuan among those people?" Ashina Sheer said to Albert.
Albert looked at it carefully and said, "Chief, there really isn't one."
A trace of anger flashed across Ashinashe'er's face. Lin Xuan didn't come in person, so he simply didn't take him seriously.
Albert said: "Chief, Datang has bullied people too much. How about we go back?"
Ashina Sheer took a deep breath and said, "You're already here, why go back? I want to see what he's going to say."
"What if he attacks the leader? The last time the Western Turks suddenly withdrew their troops, it may not be that the Tang Dynasty was plotting against the leader." Albert said with some worry.
Ashina Sheer shook his head and said: "No, you also know the news that Nishu is seriously ill. It should be an accident."
Although Ashina Sheer was driven to the Western Regions by the Western Turks, there were still some of his people in the Western Turks, so the news of Nishu's serious illness naturally could not be concealed from him.
This is also the reason why Ashina Sheer is willing to come to see Lin Xuan.
Albert wanted to say something else, but Ashina Sheer didn't give him a chance at all and rode directly to the royal city of Gaochang.
Qin Huaidao was a little confused when he saw Ashina Sheer stopped in the distance, but soon he saw Ashina Sheer continued to move, and he was relieved.
