The place to receive Tuhuo was set in the main hall of Tuqishi Palace.
Before the Tang army attacked Broken Leaf, this place had always been the place where Tuqi Shi Khan met with his confidants and handled military affairs. Therefore, Tuhuo Kuan should be more familiar with this place than Li Kuo.
Contrary to Li Kuo's imagination, Tuhuo Kuntak did not have the usual thin braids of the Tuqishi people, and he did not even wear the deerskin blouse that was the most traditional characteristic of the Tuqishi people.
On the contrary, Tuhuolu wore a standard round-neck Tang shirt with suede lining today. However, his body is on the fatter side, and the Tang shirt is waist-cinching, so he should feel constrained and oppressed after wearing it.
In the end, Stark, the sudden rider, simply took off the tight jade belt around his waist. In this way, his body felt much more comfortable, but the "gongzi brother" who was originally graceful and "slender" instantly became shapeless and helpless.
A beautiful old Hu man.
Tu Huokun dressed up like this, he must have wanted to express his attitude to Li Kuo to show his goodwill. But he just backfired and lost this set of beautiful and outstanding clothes in vain...
Li Kuo endured it for a long time before he laughed out loud. After he calmed down a little, Li Kuo nodded slightly at the spitting fire: "This must be the spitting fire Tucker, I am Li Kuo, the governor of Shule. This time the broken leaves
battle, thanks to Tucker’s help.”
I don't know whether Tuhuo was stunned by Li Kuo's amiable attitude, or was confused by the straightforward attitude of the Tang people. The Tuqi Stark was stunned on the spot for several moments, not knowing what to say.
"Tucker, please take a seat!" Li Kuo invited with one arm and nodded to the guest seat not far away, indicating that the other party should take a seat.
It was not until this moment that Tuhuogu realized what he had done, and he quickly put his arm on his shoulder and greeted with the unique etiquette of the prairie people: "Dear Deputy Envoy of Jiedu, I, Tuhuogu, the prince of the black surnamed Tuqishi, would like to express my gratitude to you.
Your warmest regards!"
Apparently Tuhuogu did not understand the official system of the Tang Dynasty and confused the Deputy Envoy of Jiedu and the Deputy Envoy of Xingying Jiedu.
However, although the title "Deputy Envoy of Jiedushi" used by Tuhuo was up for debate, Li Kuo was still very happy. Because he could now be sure that the person in front of him was Tuhuo Tuk. After all, the royal family had cultivated that
Not just anyone can learn this extraordinary temperament.
"Tucker, please come and take your seat!" Li Kuo returned the salute with one arm on his shoulder and said harmoniously.
Tuhuoguan sat down in the guest seat with joy on his face and praised: "Your appearance reminds me of the rising sun rising on the vast grassland at dawn, which gives people light with its thousands of red rays; your arrival makes me think of the turbulent waves.
A shallow bend in the broken leaf river, it gives hope to the ferrymen with its charming body!"
Li Kuo often interacts with the grassland people, so he naturally knows that they like to use long sentences to express their inner feelings, so he doesn't think it's strange.
"I am sent by the Immortal Heaven to share happiness with my friends." Li Kuo replied symbolically in Turkic language, paused slightly and said: "This time I really want to thank Tuhuo Tuqun. If it weren't for the generous help of your tribe,
, we will never capture Broken Leaf City so easily."
Seeing that Li Kuo didn't want to bother with official language, Tuhuo nodded sensibly and said: "It's just a trivial matter, it's not a big deal! I have always admired the culture of the Tang Dynasty, and I hope to be able to protect the country for His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
It's just that Moqizhi not only opposed me in every way, but also ruined the reputation of Tian Khan, which caused some unreasonable warriors in the clan to have a feud with the Tang Dynasty."
Seeing that Li Kuo was unmoved, he Tuhuo continued: "However, most of the people in the tribe still love the Tang Dynasty. I had a dispute with Mo Qi, and no one could convince the other. This is what happened later.
The fight.”
Tuhuokan tried his best to beautify the matter in order to win more favor and support from Li Kuo. But this hope was obviously in vain. The young man was not interested in the things among these Tuqishi tribe. He shook his head and said: "What happened in the past is not the same."
It's important. What His Majesty the Emperor values is a person's loyalty." Li Kuo stood up and walked to a square wall on the north side, lifting the brown curtain covering it, revealing a detailed wall map of the Sui Yechuan generation.
Last year, when Li Kuo disguised himself as a Seamis caravan on an envoy to Hezhong, he passed by Suiye City. At that time, he deliberately sent people to record the landforms of Suiye River along the way, ranging from large rivers to small pastures to county towns and earthen forts.
The charcoal pencil drew it down. After returning to Shule City, the young man sent someone to sort out the sketch and combine it with the existing map data to draw this brand new map of broken leaf landforms.
Later, Li Kuo kept this picture with him. Unexpectedly, it was of great use when he finally captured Broken Leaf. He brought Tuqi Shi Wang's palace here to show his attitude to Tuhuo.
"Eternal Life Heaven, Immortality Heaven!" Tuhuo Tu exclaimed one after another, and he was filled with surprise. This man was so scheming that he had already mapped the terrain of the Sui Yechuan generation. It seemed that this battle was going to be
Come prepared!
With such a wealth of information in his hand, it can be said that he knows the Suiye generation well. Even if he does not help, it is only a matter of time before he takes over Suiye City with this person's strength...
"Great Tang general, can you make a rubbing of this map and share it with your Tuqishi friends?"
Although he knew that the other party was unlikely to agree, Tuhuolu still tentatively opened his mouth. The information contained in this map was too rich, and he couldn't help but be tempted. If he, Tuhuolu, could have a copy of such a map, in this Broken Leaf
Who else in the Sichuan generation can oppose him?
"Of course!" Surprisingly, Li Kuo actually agreed to spit fire. The young man clicked at the center of the map: "When we came, His Majesty the Emperor had already issued an edict, stating that if you help us capture Broken Leaf, his old man will
You will be named Khan of Dingxi, and Suiye City will be designated as the capital of Tuqishi King."
Tuhuolu never thought that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty could be so generous, and his heart suddenly blossomed with joy.
"Your Majesty, the great sage, wise and heroic Heavenly Khan, the Immortal Heaven is with you!"
The fire spitting man fell to his knees in excitement and kowtowed to the east in the direction of Chang'an.
"Take, spitting fire, don't get excited, I haven't finished speaking yet." Li Kuo smiled at spitting fire, and continued: "In order to protect the Tuqi Shiren's royal power from generation to generation, His Majesty the Emperor has issued a special decree.
Order!"
"Oh, may I ask what the content of this grace order is?"
Tuhuokun never thought that there would be a reward, and he immediately became interested and asked respectfully.
"After the decree of Tuien is promulgated, not only the eldest son of the Khan can inherit the throne, but the other sons can also enjoy a fiefdom called Yehu. The person under Yehu is Teqin, the person under Teqin is Qulucui, and so on, the last
For Qijin. All members of Tuqi Shi’s royal family can enjoy the grace order, hereditary and irreplaceable, to ensure that Tuqi Shi’s royal power is permanent!” (Note 1)
