Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"I don't dare to belittle myself. I think that among us Khitan people, there are people who are more capable than me. I can't say that there is no one, but there are only three or five people. They are old or sick, and it is difficult for them to compete with me. Therefore, this is the reason With your old encouragement, I have the ambition to become the Khan. But..."

"how?"

"As soon as I met Qin Guogong today, this disciple used some tricks and made a huge defeat. I have to admit that Qin Guogong's great talent is not only unmatched by my Khitan, but the gap is not small!"

Speaking of this, he sighed deeply, and said: "Da Tang casually sent a Duke of Qin, who is so capable! Our Khitan is an enemy of Datang, can we really get it right?"

Zhe Siwu shook his head and said: "My old man tells you that you are completely unfounded. First of all, the gap between you and that guy Guo Ye is not that big, it's just that Tang people are cunning, and our Khitan people are simple and simple. You don't get used to it for a while. follow his way. Second..."

"how?"

"Qin Guogong is a rare talent in the Tang Dynasty, and he can't find another one. Otherwise, why did he capture Jieli Khan alive instead of someone else?"

"Even so, with the greatness of the Tang Dynasty and the breadth of talents, even if there are a few more people who are slightly inferior to the Duke of Qin, we can't stand it! The lessons of the Eastern Turks are ahead, so don't be careless!"

Zhe Siwu said proudly: "Hmph, don't let the prestige of other people destroy our own morale. There are many talents in the Tang Dynasty, but we Khitan are not acting alone!"

"My disciple knows that Goguryeo should be added, but even if we work together, I'm afraid..."

"No, I'm going to tell you today, it's not the two parties that are going to deal with Tang Jun, but the six parties!"

"Six parties? So many? Who are there?"

"In addition to us and Goguryeo, there is also the Xi clan. I told Guo Ye today that the arrival of the prince Su Zhi of the Xi clan is not an excuse, but a fact. The unity of the two countries is not entirely a matter of It's nothing but nonsense."

Brother Ku's complexion changed, and he said, "Then what you said about him marrying Adan?"

"Uh..." Zhe Siwu swallowed, and said: "Indeed, there are, but don't worry, this matter is not dead yet. Asking prices all over the place, and paying back the money when they land, they can't just do whatever the Xi clan says, This is mutual cooperation, not our Khitan begging them!"

Only then did Brother Ku look a little better, and said: "Actually, the strength of the Xi Clan is not as strong as our Khitan's. Even if they join, the chances of winning will not increase much. If their asking price is too high, I think it's okay. But I don't know. Who are the other three parties?"

"There is also what I just said, a high-ranking official of the Tang Dynasty. With him as a constraint within the Tang army, his role is definitely no less than that of an army of a country."

"Then what about the other two parties?"

"Come here with your ears..."

"Yes!"

When Brother Ku heard the names of the other two parties, he couldn't help but feel relieved, and said, "I can rest assured now. This is the trend of the six families dividing the Tang Dynasty, and the day of Khitan's great prosperity has arrived!"

Chapter 1890 Zheng Xiliang

In the following days, Guo Ye and others lived in Muye Mountain.

However, Zhesiwu is an old city spirit, so he can play Tai Chi really well.As soon as Guo Ye opened his mouth to talk about national affairs, he would change the subject.

He hated Guo Ye until his teeth itch.

Seeing that there was no progress in the matter, Guo Ye could not hang himself on a tree, and after a few days, he got up and said goodbye.

Zhe Siwu was not very reserved, and after a few words of politeness, he nodded in agreement.

As for who Xiao Dan should belong to, he did not give a clear statement, but only inferred that it should be discussed in the long run.As for Yelu Axin's request that he take his sister away, he is resolutely not allowed.

The great sorcerer acts on behalf of the heavens in the entire Khitan, and has a very high prestige. Neither Yelu Ashin nor Xiao Dan dare to disobey his wishes.

Even the owner of the family dare not fight, Guo Ye, an outsider, can't do anything even if he is strong, so he can only do nothing.

……

……

In the 14th year of Zhenguan, on April 28, Guo Ye and others arrived at Hebian.

The so-called Khitan Eight-Party Alliance is also called the Dahe Alliance.And the nobles in the Hebian tribe are the Dahe clan.No matter how the alliance and the boss are elected, they must be members of the Dahe clan in the end.

In a sense, this is the royal court of Khitan.

Like Zhe Siwu, on the surface, He Bianbu was very polite and considerate to Guo Ye, but when it came to specific matters, he took care of him.

It wasn't until the third day that someone notified him that he was invited to the eight-part alliance meeting.

"The Imperial Envoy of the Tang Dynasty, Minister of Rites and Duke of Qin, Guo Ye has arrived!"

"Your servant waits to welcome the angel!"

Hulala, all the Khitan nobles bowed down to the ground!

Unlike Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje, the monarchs of those three countries were all named county kings, and their status was higher than that of Guo Ye.

But the alliance leader of the Khitan people was not so lucky.He was just given the false title of "Captain Governor" as a Wusan official, not as good as Guo Ye, Duke of Qin.

As long as you don't tear yourself apart with Datang, you have to bow down to Ruyi when you see Guo Ye!As for the other nobles of Khitan, let alone.

Guo Ye nodded slightly and said, "Get up."

"Thank you Angel!"

As everyone came to a huge felt tent, the host and guest took their seats.

A middle-aged man sitting in the main seat coughed lightly, and said: "Mr. Qin is not very familiar with us members of the Khitan Eight Divisions. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Mohui, and I am the current leader of the Khitan alliance. Master Hebianbu."

"It turns out that you are the head of the Motor Club Alliance, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

"Let me introduce other people to you. This is Yu Gouzhe, the master of the Daji Department, this is Ma Rihuo, the master of the Independent Living Department, and this is..."

He introduced all the chiefs of the eight tribes, and pointed to one person: "This is the chief of our Khitan..."

Guo Ye smiled slightly: "You don't need to introduce this person. Brother Ku, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"

Brother Ku cupped his fists in embarrassment, and said: "I walked in a hurry on Muye Mountain that day, and I didn't say goodbye to Qin Guogong, it was really rude."

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Guo Ye looked at Brother Ku, then at Mohui, and said, "You two look so imaginative, but brothers?"

"Almost so."

Guo Ye was puzzled, and said: "Yes, yes, yes, yes, this kind of thing can be regarded as similar?"

Mohui explained: "It is true that I and Brother Ku were born to the same mother, but the father is not the same person."

"That's the half-brother!"

"Uh...you can't say that, in fact, our father...is father and son! So, it's really hard to say whether we are brothers or not."

Guo Ye's expression changed, and he said, "What?"

"The customs of our Khitan are different from your Tang Dynasty. After the father passes away, the son can marry the father's concubine other than the aunt. The mother first married the father, and then married the son. We have two brothers."
