Chapter 329 Sending the Son to the Capital

Qiao Baoming came out of Chang'an and traveled a long way to Mobei, and arrived at the Yaochi Governor's Mansion, the territory of Ashina Helu.

Qiao Baoming did not meet Ashina Helu himself, but only met his eldest son Diyun, who said that Ashina Helu was seriously ill in bed and could not see guests, and asked the angel to have mercy on him.

Qiao Baoming explained his purpose to Diyun, and Diyun told Qiao Baoming that Ashina Helu could not leave for Chang'an, and was afraid that he could not go to Chang'an to meet the emperor, and asked Qiao Baoming to mention Ashina Helu to convey his message.

Diyun gave some treasures to Qiao Baoming as a gift, and asked Qiao Baoming to take the treasures they had prepared for the emperor back to Chang'an and present them to the emperor.

Qiao Baoming knew that Ashina Helu would never follow him to Chang'an, and it seemed that he really wanted to rebel. Qiao

Baoming came up with a plan and asked Ashina Helu's eldest son Diyun to go to Chang'an to be a guard officer. With Diyun in hand, he didn't have to worry about being attacked by the Turks on the way back.

And he could also give an explanation to the emperor in Chang'an, which was simply the best of both worlds.

After listening to Qiao Baoming's suggestion, Diyun said that he also wanted to go to Chang'an to take a look, but he had to discuss this matter with his father before making a decision.

Diyun left Qiao Baoming in the Governor's Mansion to stay for a while.

In the secret meeting room of Yaochi Governor's Mansion, Yaochi Governor Ashina Helu and his eldest son, as well as his generals, gathered here.

Outside the secret meeting room, within a hundred meters, there were countless sentries, both visible and hidden, but the security was so strict that even a mosquito could not get close.

"Just received a report from a spy! The Tang army is approaching us, Liang Jianfang's army is stationed in Chumi and Chuyue."

"Qili Hebi and others are also stationed in various places, and their troops are pointing directly at us. Once there is any disturbance here, they will definitely surround and kill us in one fell swoop."

"Now is our life and death moment, everyone, tell me, what should we do?" Ashina Helu said.

When he just received the intelligence sent by the spy, he was shocked! He didn't expect the Tang army to be so fast and it was right under his nose, so he immediately called his subordinates to discuss.

"Khan, the Tang people must have known our plan. Why not raise an army immediately, drive the Tang people out of Mobei, re-establish the Yazhang, and establish the Turkic Khanate." A burly, dishevelled, bearded man said.

His idea was simple. Since the Tang army had come to his doorstep, he should just fight them.

"That's right! I agree with Tuokelei. In my opinion, we should just kill the envoy of the Tang emperor as a sacrifice to show our determination." A Hu man with a sturdy back and a face as big as a dog, eyes as big as copper bells, and a ferocious face said.

"No! The Tang army is coming with great force, and it is obvious that they have made preparations, but we are completely unprepared now."

"With the few troops we have in the Governor's Office and nearby, we can't resist the attack of the Tang army at all."

"Even if we want to mobilize other troops to come to the rescue, it will be like a drop in the ocean. Once we make any unusual movements, the Tang army will immediately attack us."

"If we can't stop the Tang army, this place will be breached, and all our previous efforts will be in vain." Ashina Diyun objected.

Ashina Diyun was scared to death by their words. Now the Tang army was right in front of their homes. If they really killed the envoy of the Tang emperor.

This is not a reasonable excuse for the Tang army to destroy them, and the Tang army did not launch an attack on them immediately.

If they kill the envoy of the Tang emperor, they will be courting death. It is a pity that they can say such stupid things.

The power disparity between the two sides is huge. It is a dead end to confront the Tang army head-on. Ashina Diyun is naturally unwilling to fight against the stone with an egg.

"Diyun is right! Now is not the time to confront the Tang people head-on. Even if we order Wu Dulu and Wu Nu Shi Bi to send troops immediately, it will be too late to rescue them."

"The only way now is to delay and temporarily appease the envoy of the Tang Dynasty. There must be no mistakes." Ashina Helu said.

Wu Dulu and Wu Nu Shi Bi were Turkic tribes of ten surnames. They were originally subordinate to Yibi Dulu Khan. Later, Yibi Dulu Khan was defeated and fled to Tokharistan. None of the ten surnames submitted to each other and fought for territory for years.

Ashina Helu took advantage of the Tang Dynasty's appointment of him as the governor of Yaochi to win over and appease the ten surnames.

Ashina Helu also married his daughter to the leader of Huluque, one of the five Dulu tribes, so that all the Turkic people of Wu Dulu and Wu Nu Shi Bi submitted to him.

In addition, Li Erji died in the Tang Dynasty, and Ashina Helu's ambition grew like wild grass and could not be controlled.

Therefore, Ashina Helu felt that his chance had come, and with his growing power, Ashina Helu had the delusion of restoring the former glory of the Turks.

Although Ashina Helu was proud of his own strength, he was not so proud that he did not take the Tang army seriously.

What he had to do now was to stabilize the Tang people, and then send people to Wudulu and Wunushibi secretly to lead troops to rescue.

As long as the troops of the Ten Surnames of the Turks arrived, Ashina Helu would not have to fear the Tang army hanging around at his doorstep.

"But they want the eldest prince to go to Chang'an to guard the house for the Tang emperor. How can this be possible? What if the eldest prince can't come back?" said the Turkish general with a beard.

After hearing this, Ashina Helu and Ashina Diyun's faces turned pale. This simple-minded, strong-limbed guy didn't want to say anything nice.

Just saying these sad words really made people uncomfortable. Ashina Helu glared at the guy.

"This time I went to Chang'an with the envoy of the Tang Dynasty emperor, just to let the other party relax their vigilance, which is beneficial to our future major events." "

This time when I go to Chang'an, I can also take the opportunity to find out the internal situation of the Tang Dynasty, which will be helpful for us to establish the Khanate in the future."

"Don't worry, everyone, I, Ashina Diyun, will find a way to return safely from the capital of the Tang Dynasty. Not only that, I will let the Tang Dynasty emperor personally send me out of Chang'an." Ashina Diyun vowed.

Ashina Diyun completely regarded this trip to Chang'an as a trip to another place, and by the way, he wanted to find out the attitude of the Tang Dynasty emperor towards them.

"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed after hearing this.

Ashina Helu and others finally decided that Ashina Diyun would follow Qiao Baoming to Chang'an to meet the Tang Dynasty emperor Li Chengqian.

After some preparation, three days later, Ashina Diyun and Qiao Baoming went to Chang'an to meet the emperor.

After leaving Yaochi Governor's Mansion, Qiao Baoming did not dare to stay any longer, for fear that Ashina Helu would change his mind and send people to hunt them down. He rode as fast as he could to Chang'an, as he did not dare to stay in this damn place for even a moment.
