Mohist Tang - Chapter 1308

The cold wind was howling and the snow was falling.

With the first heavy snow in Zhenguan’s 15 years, the land of the Central Plains is covered with silver and everything withers. The winter of the Tang Dynasty has come.

As Wu Meiniang expected, with the advent of winter, the warmth of down jacket has been really confirmed. Whether in terms of warmth, lightness or appearance, down jacket is far better than cotton jacket, and once again ushered in a hot sale. The position of ink clothing has been consolidated again.

With cotton padded clothes and down jackets, the people of the Tang Dynasty can safely survive this cold winter. However, Xue yantuo, who is far away in the far north, is not so lucky. After the defeat of the grassland war, Dadushi led Xue yantuo’s disabled soldiers to flee madly to avoid the pursuit of the Tang army.

However, Xue yantuo paid a huge price and finally escaped the pursuit of the Tang cavalry, but he did not escape the pursuit of heaven. It snowed in August on the prairie. After the defeat, Xue yantuo’s remnant army, who lacked supplies, was frozen to death and frostbitten, and suffered heavy losses.

However, this is not the end. This winter, Xue yantuo suffered another white hair disaster, which made it worse for the tribes that had suffered heavy losses.

At the foot of dujin mountain, Zhenzhu Khan Yi man’s tooth tent, Xue yantuo’s faces were as cold as the cold winter outside.

“Back to Khan, the snow disaster has seriously damaged our department, and countless cattle and sheep have been frozen to death, resulting in heavy losses.” Xue yantuo, Wang Ziba, reported with a heavy face.

Originally, the eldest son Dadu set was the most important thing for Zhenzhu Khan Yi man. However, Dadu set failed miserably in the battle of the grassland and has fallen out of favor. Now Xue yantuo’s tooth tent is the most powerful son.

“Our ministry suffered a serious disaster. Huihe Khitan and other tribes should have supported and issued orders. Now other ministries have recruited some cattle and sheep to spend this year’s disaster year.” Yi man frowned.

“My father doesn’t know. Now Xue yantuo has been defeated and Turks have returned. Other departments have different hearts. I’m afraid it’s difficult to obey Xue yantuo’s orders.” Ba Zhuo frowned. Xue yantuo was seriously affected, and other ministries also suffered heavy losses. If we forcibly expropriate the cattle and sheep of various tribes, I’m afraid it will cause public anger.

“If you don’t obey orders, kill them all and grab their cattle and sheep.” at this time, a rude voice came, which was the most favored son of Yi man, LAN mang.

Hearing his rude words, Yi man didn’t get angry, but smiled happily. The reason why he doted on him was not just because his mother was his favorite imperial concubine, but because he was most like him, cruel and scheming, and his direct son, Pao Shao, only learned his deeds, not the ruthlessness in his bones.

“Send orders to those tribes. If they don’t want to kill the tribe now, they should send cattle and sheep obediently. The Turks now are not Turks ten years ago, and the Tang Dynasty is thousands of miles away, so they can’t save him.” Yi man said with a cruel smile. If those tribes dare to keep giving orders, he doesn’t mind killing them all to make up for Xue yantuo’s loss.

“My father is wise! With the cattle and sheep of these tribes, Xue yantuo can certainly recover from the threat of the Tang Dynasty.” Lan mang said proudly.

“A group of fools, now the Tang Dynasty is powerful and has the most powerful gunpowder weapon. It is invincible in the world. We can only seek peace for the Tang Dynasty and can’t make enemies with it.” Yi Nan scolded. Although Dadushi was defeated, the reason for his defeat was not him. More than 100000 Xue yantuo cavalry besieged 3000 firearms army and suffered heavy losses, This made Yi man really see the power of gunpowder weapons.

“Do we just sit and watch Turks grow up?” Bazhuo said reluctantly.

“Of course not. We can’t provoke the Tang Dynasty. It’s not that we can’t provoke the Turks. The Turks want to have a foothold on the grassland. Not only Xue yantuo doesn’t agree, but also the grassland departments don’t agree.” Yi Nan sneered.

“Father means to continue to attack all Turkic departments while seeking peace with Datang.” yanmang instantly understood Yi man’s intention.

The Yi man nodded and said, “however, if you want the Tang Dynasty to favor Xue yantuo, you should offer Xue yantuo’s sincerity. Now Xue yantuo is still a vassal of the Tang Dynasty in name. Naturally, he wants to pay tribute. This year Xue yantuo paid 10000 horses, 10000 cattle and 10000 sheep to the Tang Dynasty to show his sincerity.”

“Ten thousand horses, ten thousand cattle and ten thousand sheep.” Ba Zhuo and Yan mang were shocked. Even in ordinary times, these things are also a great wealth for Xue yantuo? Not to mention Xue yantuo’s misfortune and natural disasters, these horses, cattle and sheep are particularly precious.

“Yes, just to let Datang see our sincerity. In addition, Ba Zhuo should follow Songzan Ganbu’s example, marry a Han woman and ask Tian Khan to give the title of princess.” Yi Nan said.

“Han woman!” Ba Zhuo was reluctant. He originally thought that only the princess of the Tang Dynasty was worthy of him. However, Ba Zhuo understood that the Tang Dynasty had cut off the road of marriage. In addition, even Songzan Ganbu did so, he could only obey.

“If my brother doesn’t want to, my younger brother is willing to serve for me and marry a Han woman.” Lan mang interrupted.

“No, my son is willing.” Bazhuo Lian hurriedly said. Who cares whether they marry a Han woman? They care about the title of princess. Once they have the title of princess, they can become Xue yantuo’s next Khan.

“Well, let’s get ready!” Yi man waved to let them leave, but he was a little depressed.

Originally, he wanted to replace the status of Turks and Xiongnu in the past, unify the grassland and compete with the Tang Dynasty. However, the cruelty of reality gave him a basin of cold water. The Tang Dynasty is invincible, but it does not mean that Xue yantuo will be slaughtered by the Tang Dynasty.

At that moment, Yi man Khan clapped his hands and behind the tooth tent, the defeated Dadushi suddenly appeared in front of Yi man.

“I tell you how things are going.” Yi man said in a deep voice.

“My son has imitated the sledge and skis of mojiazi on his way in the snow. Thousands of xueyantuo warriors can learn to travel in the snow and attack the Turkic tribes in a few days.” Dadu said in a deep voice.

“Start at once, you won’t go to school on the road. If you can’t learn, you’ll abandon it and let him freeze to death in the snow.” Yi man Khan smiled.

“Yes!” Dadushi suddenly felt cold in his heart and immediately turned away. This was his only chance to atone for his achievements.

Yi man smiled coldly. He could bow down to the Tang Dynasty, but one mountain could not accommodate two tigers, and there was absolutely no room for Turks.

When Xue yantuo destroyed the Turks, even the Tang Dynasty could not stay.

With the heavy snow, Xue yantuo’s envoy braved the wind and snow, presented a thick gift list and headed for Chang’an. At the same time, envoys from various countries around the Tang Dynasty began to set out to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty.

Shule, Khotan, Yanqi and other countries came from the western regions, Tubo from the southwest, Huihe, tiele and Turkic from the north, Koguryo, Baiji Xinluo in the East, and even Fusang came across the sea to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty. There are more Linyi in the south, Zhancheng and other countries from the south, and there are countless other small countries.

For a while, all countries of the Tang Dynasty came to the court and the four sides came to congratulate. Chang’an City once again became the center of the world.
