Chapter 339 The struggle of Huihe
Since he failed in the battle with Li Neng in Hebei Dao, Mou Yu Khan finally put away his pride. After learning from his mistakes, he suddenly understood why his father and brother had struggled to maintain friendly relations with the Tang Dynasty over the years. This was actually not entirely because of his cowardice, but for the sake of the Uighurs.
The Tang Dynasty had a large amount of resources that the Uighurs did not have. Only by maintaining a very good relationship with the Tang Dynasty could we exchange these things from the Tang Dynasty at a relatively small price.
However, since the battle with Li Qing, the Tang Dynasty completely closed the door to the Uighur merchants. In a short period of time, Mou Yu Khan didn't think anything was there, but over time, the Uighur's disadvantages were manifested. Mou Yu Khan had to think about surrendering to the Tang Dynasty.
However, what he thought of was to surrender was to send two envoys to make peace with the Tang Dynasty symbolically. What he thought was that this time he would not only have to bring back the business road he had lost before, but also to have a princess from the Tang Dynasty to come back and have fun.
However, after the messenger went there, he spent a lot of money, and said that it was all given to Yuan Zai, the prime minister of the dynasty who was the most powerful and could almost control the affairs of the Tang Dynasty. However, in the end, Li Yan scolded him in the court and did not agree to a single condition. Not only the princess of the Tang Dynasty could not come, but even if he wanted to open a transaction of some irrelevant items, he had to bow down to Li Yan.
Mu Yu Khan naturally could not agree to such conditions. The main purpose of his trade with the Tang Dynasty was to get some raw materials for making weapons and armor. If Li Yan blocked this, it would be useless for him to open a business road.
Moreover, through the relationship between the Uighurs and the Tang Dynasty, Mou Yu Khan felt that he should be on an equal footing with Li Qing. Now, letting him bow down to Li Qing is a shame for him, the Khan. And if that happens, in this land, their Uighurs may not be as good as the Luo tribe and the Pugu tribe.
However, through his careful investigation of the work lurking in Chang'an City, Mou Yu Khan found that Yuan Zai, who had always had a good relationship with him and had already taken away many property, was still a perfect figure in the court of the Tang Dynasty. Under such circumstances, Mou Yu Khan still placed his hope on Yuan Zai, so he once again sent a special envoy.
But this time, Mou Yu Khan, who was full of expectations, was waiting for a news that shocked him. His special envoy, who could be regarded as his eyes in Chang'an City, actually fell into Li's hands.
Because of this incident, dozens of people in the court, including Yuan Zai, resigned from their posts and returned to their hometowns, and included almost all those who could have something to do with Mou Yu Khan.
In this way, the Uighurs' relationship network in Chang'an City was like being taken down. If he wanted to know any news in Chang'an City, it would be as difficult as he could reach the sky.
Not only that, Mou Yu Khan was already quite helpless about Li Qing's layout in him.
No matter where Tongluo and Pugu tribes were checking and balancing them outside the Tang Dynasty, they could not develop eastward, even the current Hebei Road has been replaced by Li Lan's confidant Nan Jiyun as the governor of Hebei Road.
Nan Jiyun was born as a military general. Mou Yu Khan knew that he had arrived here basically to check and balance himself. Now there is nothing goodbye in Hebei, just many soldiers and horses.
If we use a few words to describe the current state of the Uighurs, it would be hard to speak alone. Li Qing used such cold treatment to solve the Uighur problem. Mou Yu Khan could have expected his own ending in a few years, and by then there would be no Uighur tribe in this world.
On this day, Mou Yu Khan, with a gloomy face, found two of his confidants and said to them: "Now, whether it is the Hebei Road of the Tang Dynasty, the Tongluo and the Pugu tribes, they are all preparing for war. The southeast direction of our Uighurs is already full of enemy troops. Only by now can we rely on our own to compete with the Tang Dynasty. Especially now, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is Li Yan, the former King of Jianning. This person is definitely a brave and ruthless person. It is hard to say what he can develop the Tang Dynasty into, but in his heart, war must be the first priority."
Mou Yu Khan obviously had a little deviation in his understanding of Li Neng, but what he said was at least half of the right thing, that is, Li Neng was definitely not afraid of war, and he guessed one thing correctly. Li Neng just treated the Uighurs coldly, just to make them decline step by step.
In the end, the Tang Dynasty did not even waste any soldiers or soldiers on the Uighurs.
"Khan, how do we deal with it? Nowadays, many small tribes that had previously attached themselves to us have gone to Tongluo and the Pugu tribe. As one goes up and down, I'm afraid we can't hold on for a few years if we sit so hard!"
Mou Yu Khan's confidants were really anxious. There was another situation they did not dare to talk about it next to Mou Yu Khan. Now that the Uighurs have become like this since he took office, the support of Mou Yu Khan's subordinates is no longer as good as before. If they suffer another defeat in this situation, it is not certain whether their position as Khan can be maintained.
"So we can't rely on ourselves anymore. You send out someone you trust the most and take this to Tubo. You must hand over this to Zampo with them!"
After saying that, a letter appeared in Khan Mou Yu.
One of them took the letter from Khan Mou Yu and said, "Khan, the Tubo Chisong Dezan had wanted to deal with the Tang Dynasty with us, but Khan ignored it. Instead, he declared war on Hebei. If he wants to unite with them now, I am afraid that Zamp of Tubo..."
"Hmph, we are indeed not the previous Uighurs, but they are no longer the previous Tubos. They are also in the same situation as us. If they can benefit from each other, they will lose each other. The Tubo people should also weigh the relationship. If they wait for a few more years, we will not have a chance under the strong iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty."
"What Khan said is very much. Tonight we will send someone out of our royal court and deliver this letter to Tubo Zamp."
