Chapter 170

"My dear! Jinyiwei sent a secret report about Mobei." Wang Quan handed a piece of intelligence to Li Chengqian.

In order to pay more attention to Mobei, Tubo and other tribes, Li Chengqian sent Jinyiwei to secretly inquire about the news.

After Li Chengqian took it and read it, he smiled.

"I don't know why your highness is laughing. Is there anything in Mobei that is worth your highness's joy?" Du He asked.

Du He felt that Li Chengqian seemed to be more concerned about the situation in Mobei recently.

"Xueyantuo Zhenzhu Khan Yinan is seriously ill, and his son Bazhuo and Yimang are competing for the throne." Li Chengqian said, everything is progressing according to his expectations.

He has put a lot of effort in this, otherwise, how could Yimang have so many people supporting him.

If he hadn't secretly helped, it would have been extremely difficult for Yemang to defeat Bazhuo in the fight for the Khanship.

It was precisely because of Li Chengqian's secret help that Yemang was able to easily defeat Bazhuo. Bazhuo

had always been hostile to the Tang Dynasty. If he succeeded to the Khanship, he would have taken advantage of Li Er's expedition to Liaodong to invade the Tang Dynasty.

Yemang's attitude towards the Tang Dynasty was relatively better, and he was also afraid of being defeated by the Tang army.

Li Chengqian naturally chose Yemang to succeed to the Khanship, which might not be a bad thing for the Tang Dynasty.

"This is indeed good news. In this way, Xueyantuo will fall into internal chaos! Over time, Xueyantuo's strength will be weakened."

"Perhaps by then, some Xueyantuo people will surrender to our Tang Dynasty, and our Tang Dynasty can use this as an excuse to conquer Xueyantuo Khanate in one fell swoop." Du He said. He and Li Chengqian had different ideas.

"Du He, we will not discuss the matter of Mobei today. I called you here today because I have something else to tell you." Li Chengqian said. He did not say anything more to Du He on this matter.

"Yes!" Du He responded. Since the prince did not want to talk about the matter of Mobei, Du He knew not to mention it.

"Wang Quan!" Li Chengqian turned around and said, "You go to Jinyiwei in person and let them think of all ways to make sure that Yemang ascends the throne of Xueyantuo."

"I will go now!" Wang Quan took the order and left.

...

Mobei, Wang Ting.

After the Han woman told Bazhuo, Bazhuo immediately took action and secretly found Mengge.

"I've met Yehu!" Mengge put his right fist on his left chest and bowed slightly.

"Uncle Mengge, no need to be polite!" Bazhuo stepped forward and helped Mengge up.

"What does Yehu want me to do? I still have to be on duty." Mengge said. He is a direct person and doesn't like to beat around the bush.

"I want to compete for the Khan position! I need Uncle Mengge to help me." Bazhuo understood Mengge's personality and didn't say any nonsense to him. He directly stated his purpose.

Mengge was not surprised at all. After all, he saw the Khan's two sons fighting openly and secretly for the Khan position.

The Khan's eldest son Yemang also looked for him, hoping that he could support him.

What a pity! Yemang rejected Yemang's good intention and sent him back.

Now Bazhuo came to him for the Khan's throne, which did not surprise him at all.

"You and Yemang are both princes of the Khan. It is not appropriate for me to help either of you. You should go back!" Mengge shook his head, just like he rejected Yemang at the beginning, he rejected Bazhuo.

Mengge stood up and was about to leave.

"Uncle Mengge, my brother Yemang has always been close to other tribes with different surnames. Once he ascends to the throne, he will disband all of you."

"He may even let soldiers from tribes with different surnames replace you, or even suppress our people."

"Are you willing to see all this? Are you really willing to let a prince with foreign blood sit on the position of Khan?"

"Yemang will not let me go, nor will he let you go, because you used to be my mother's personal guard, and Yemang will definitely think you are my comrade."

"Once Yemang sits on the throne of Khan, the one person he will not let go is me. He will definitely execute all the people he thinks are my comrades."

"Uncle Mengge, even if you don't consider yourself, you should consider your people. Don't let them be implicated because of you. They are all innocent." Bazhuo said.

Mengge took back his step and looked back at Bazhuo with a frown. Bazhuo was right. If you really think about it, Mengge can be considered as a member of Bazhuo's clan.

Judging from Yimang's character and the grudges between him and Bazhuo, Yimang will definitely do as Bazhuo said.

He can't let his people get hurt because of his wrong choice.

More importantly, he has no other choice except Bazhuo. What should he do?

For the first time, Mengge felt that making a choice was so difficult.

"Uncle Mengge, I, Bazhuo, can swear to Changshengtian that I will treat you and your subordinates well. As long as I, Bazhuo, inherit the Khan's throne, you will still be the royal guards."

"The royal court will still be guarded by you, and this will never change!" Bazhuo saw that Mengge had wavered and said hurriedly.

"Are you serious?" Mengge's eyes lit up. If Bazhuo could really let him and his brothers continue to be the royal guards, it would be okay to support Bazhuo.

After all, the treatment of the royal guards is not comparable to other troops. Not only is the income high, but the status is also higher than other troops.

After getting used to the life of a big master, who would be willing to run down and be a younger brother.

Originally, Mengge had no choice but to support Bazhuo in his bid for the Khanship. Now that he had Bazhuo's promise, Mengge had no reason to refuse.

Anyway, the Khan was dying, and Yemang was close to the tribes of different surnames, so it was better to support Bazhuo, a prince of the native tribe.

Seeing that there was a chance, Bazhuo hurriedly said, "That's right! Everything I said is true! There is absolutely no falsehood."

Bazhuo was afraid that Mengge would not agree, so he immediately gave his most precious treasure to Mengge.

"Okay! Since Yehu, you are so sincere, I, Mengge, cannot fail to show my respect. I, Mengge, and the 30,000 personal troops of Wangting Khan are willing to be loyal to Yehu and loyally support Yehu to become the Khan." Mengge finished

speaking, knelt on one knee, and swore allegiance to Bazhuo.

Bazhuo was overjoyed. As long as he could control the Khan's personal army, he would be able to turn the entire situation around.

In the royal court, except for the Khan's personal guards who guard the royal court, no one else is allowed to bring more than 100 personal guards.

In other words, the total strength of Yimang and those who support Yimang does not exceed 10,000.

As long as the royal court's personal guards are loyal to him, he now has the 30,000 most well-equipped and most powerful troops in the entire Xueyantuo.

Then he can catch all these people in one fell swoop and eliminate the trouble forever.

"Uncle Mengge, please get up quickly!" Bazhuo helped Mengge up and said, "You go back now, so as not to arouse other people's suspicion. I will contact you later."

"I understand!" Mengge clenched his right fist and placed it on his left chest. He bowed slightly and left.

After Mengge left, Bazhuo carefully looked around and made sure that no one had discovered him before he left.
