Chapter 431
On the Uighur side, Mou Yu Khan was in a state of uneasiness after sending out the letter. He knew that he had put forward a not-so-small condition with Li Yan. Pugu Huaien was on the blacklist of the Tang Dynasty, which was almost something that the people knew.
It was just such a person who insisted on letting Li Yan spare him and had to leave him behind. Mou Yu Khan finally thought about it and it was a bit difficult for him to think about it himself, but his letters had been sent out, and with Shi Siming's head, he had already expressed his sincerity to the greatest extent, so he felt that Li Yan would not be too embarrassed for him.
However, Li Neng's letter has not come back for a long time. A few days later, the guards he sent came back empty-handedly. The news brought was that Li Neng's men had already set off and rushed to the Uighur territory, but only Li Neng himself knew what they were doing.
This was like a judgment on the Uighurs. Mou Yu Khan could only wait for Li Yan to arrive, and there was no other way at all.
In fact, for the people of the Tongluo tribe and the Pugu tribe who had been following Nan Jiyun, although they had also produced a lot of people, they had already obtained the secret order of their tribe leaders before they set out. That is, if the Tang Dynasty fights with the Uighurs, they must cooperate with the Tang Dynasty to destroy the Uighurs. No matter how bad it is, they must let the Uighurs withdraw from this place.
The reason for this is very simple. As the overlords of the northern territory of the Tang Dynasty for decades, the places they occupied were obviously very suitable for their survival and grazing. With a Feng Shui treasure land as big as the Uighur Royal Court, even if the Uighurs had better innate conditions than other tribes such as the Tongluo Tribe and Pugu Tribe.
It is precisely because of this that even though the Tongluo and Pugu tribes have always received strong support from Li Yan, it is still difficult to surpass the Uighurs in a short period of time. Although many of the small tribes that had previously attached to the Uighurs followed the Tongluo tribe and Pugu tribe, a considerable number of them were still around Mou Yu Khan.
On this land, the foundation of the Uighurs cannot be underestimated. It is like the Tang Dynasty that experienced An Lushan’s rebellion before. It is not difficult for you to defeat him, but if you want to kill him, it will be quite difficult.
In their opinion, the only one who could completely destroy the Uighurs was the Tang Dynasty, which was obviously a very good opportunity.
However, their little thoughts could definitely not escape Li's eyes. The men and horses led by Nan Jiyun have always been arranged by Li's Protectorate in Beiting to maintain the stability of various cities, and they could not face the Uighurs at all.
Li Yi had long understood that whether it was the Tongluo tribe, the Pugu tribe or the Nanzhao, although his relationship with Li Yi is still quite good now and he is very humble in front of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yi also knew that when the leaders of this generation were gone, the subsequent leaders would float up little by little. First, they took themselves too seriously, and then they would not take the Tang Dynasty seriously. In the end, their destination would be the next Uighur or Tubo.
Therefore, Li Qing did not benefit his allies except to provide certain support in trade, because in Li Qing's view, these things are too much or too little.
Li Neng personally brought his troops and arrived outside the Uighurs' court without panic. At this time, almost all Uighurs were very nervous. They knew that the Uighurs had welcomed Shi Siming and Pugu Huaien, but they did not know that Mou Yu Khan and Li Neng had communicated with each other's letters. They were afraid that Li Neng would directly use troops to the Uighurs after assembling the army. After all, that would be in line with Li Neng's previous style.
However, Li Neng stopped a hundred miles away from the Uighur King's Court and sent news to Mou Yu Khan, saying that he would negotiate with Li Neng in a village a hundred miles away.
After receiving the news, Khan Mou Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He understood that there should be a chance for him to keep Pu Gu Huaien's life.
"Khan, the people of the Tang Dynasty are all tricky. Although the letter belongs to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, if Khan goes, he will not be able to do anything to the Khan!"
After Mou Yu Khan told his confidants about receiving Li N's letter, most people were skeptical about Li N's purpose.
They all understood that although Mou Yu Khan was a little extreme and ruthless in his personality, he was also unambiguous when it was really involved in the interests of their Uighur people.
It is precisely because of this reason that although the Uighurs were defeated repeatedly in the battle against the Tang Dynasty, the Khan Mou Yu still had a very high status in the hearts of the people of the Uighurs. They were all afraid of losing this Khan. Without his toughness, characters like the Luo tribe and the Pugu tribe would have already bullied themselves.
"No, if Li Wen wanted to attack my Uighur, what I received now is not a letter. My Uighur development has stagnated over the years. Most of the reason is that the business road before the Tang Dynasty was sealed by the Tang Dynasty. If I could meet with the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty this time, I would naturally discuss this matter with him. You will wait in the royal court."
In the Uighurs, Mou Yu Khan was definitely a perfect person. Even everyone knew that something was dangerous, but most people could not dissuade him, so several confidants could only fight for him and wanted to accompany him.
However, this time, Khan Mou Yu gritted his teeth and did not bring a single confidant, and went there with him with a servant Gu Huaien. The meaning of his doing this was very obvious, just to show Li Lan his sincerity and respect and trust for Li Lan, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Taking Pugu Huaien with him also shows that Mou Yu Khan does not want to be sensible with Li Qing on Pugu Huaien's matter. I will bring the person to you. If you agree, I will take it back. If you disagree, I will not be able to take it away, right?
The first task of Mou Yu Khan meeting with Li Qing this time was naturally to keep Pugu Huaien by his side, and the other task was that he wanted the Tang Dynasty and the Uighurs to reopen the business road.
Although he knew that if Li Yan agreed to this condition, he would almost have to pay some other conditions, but now, for the sake of the Uighur people, he has no way out.
He understood that Li Wen had to pull out some of the Uighur wool, but it was just a matter of how much.
