Prime Minister Midu knew that Tuyuhun Khan had always been short-sighted, which could be seen from the development of Tuyuhun. Originally, Tuyuhun could have the best of both worlds, but now it was forced by the Khan in front of it to survive in the cracks. If it were not for his stupid command, how could Tuyuhun have come to this point?
In fact, Prime Minister Midu has always been loyal. Everyone on the grassland knows his loyalty and his wisdom.
Prime Minister Midu had never had any second thoughts, but when he saw the Khan's look in front of him, he finally couldn't help it.
Since the end of the last war, a large number of northern Tuyuhun tribes moved south. The Midu tribe itself occupied the best grassland in the south, but in the end it could only give up a part of it. This in itself was nothing, and everyone just needed to overcome the difficulties together. However, the Khan unexpectedly took this opportunity to weaken the strength of the Midu tribe.
Prime Minister Midu tolerated all this, but this guy in front of him was so short-sighted that he would sooner or later lead the entire Tuyuhun into trouble. Of course, you don't have to pay a price for rejecting Li Xiang's words now, but you may have to pay several times the price in the future. Can Tuyuhun afford it now?
"What are you still standing there for? Go quickly."
Seeing that Prime Minister Midu did not take any action, the Khan of Tuyuhun expressed his dissatisfaction again. In fact, he had his own plan in mind during this period, which was to continuously weaken the power of the Midu tribe. Now the Midu tribe and the Wangting tribe are almost the same. Without the support of the Ronggong tribe, the Wangting tribe does not have much advantage. This is something a Khan would never allow.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will go right away. However, this person is difficult to deal with. I will need to persuade him with kind words. Please be patient, Your Majesty."
Prime Minister Midu already had an idea in his mind. What he was going to discuss later might be something earth-shattering, so it might not be concluded in a short time, but he must not let the person in front of him cause trouble for him.
"Prime Minister, even if you go, I know how to deal with it. You should build a good relationship with him. Although we don't need him for now, we may need him in the future. I have my eldest daughter, and she is still with him. At worst, she can be betrothed to him."
Tuyuhun Khan said very generously, "Prime Minister Midu didn't know what to say. Do you still have the final say over your daughter? Ever since they captured the princess, you no longer have the final say. Of course, you can't say it in front of him. This guy still thinks he has the final say!"
When Li Xiang saw Prime Minister Midu coming back alone, he was a little confused and didn't know what news they had received. Prime Minister Midu did not let Li Xiang be confused for too long, but put the military situation in front of Li Xiang.
Did the Tubo army withdraw?
Li Xiang looked at the information in front of him in some disbelief. This should not be false. It concerns the life and death of Tuyuhun. Prime Minister Midu should not deceive him on this matter unless he does not want to live.
"Prime Minister, what does this mean?"
Li Xiang said in confusion that Prime Minister Midu should have a plan, but he couldn't guess it now, otherwise how could he put this information in front of him?
"If I'm not mistaken, Your Highness wants to take advantage of the chaos to capture Tuyuhun and make us your vassal state. Am I right?"
After Prime Minister Midu said this, Li Xiang's heart skipped a beat. He was a smart man after all, but the question was, where had he given himself away? How had he been able to guess it?
"If that's what you're saying, my Lord Prime Minister, then I don't object. After all, we're all here for profit. You're in crisis, and we're willing to help you preserve your original country. So is there anything wrong with us taking some benefits?"
Li Xiang's answer made Prime Minister Mi Du very satisfied. If Li Xiang kept making excuses, Prime Minister Mi Du would have felt that Li Xiang was not a trustworthy person. The time had come for the real purpose to be revealed. If Li Xiang still refused to admit defeat, such a person would be very stubborn and would not be able to become his ally. It would definitely cause trouble in the future. Instead, it would be better for someone like Li Xiang to admit his mistake directly.
"Your Highness, do you dare to swear to the Heavenly Alliance?"
What confused Li Xiang was that Prime Minister Midu suddenly said this.
"What do you mean?"
Li Xiang is a little unhappy now. You asked me to swear, so let me swear. These days, if you swear casually, you will be struck by lightning.
"Your Highness, please don't blame me. I also want to protect Tuyuhun. Your Highness, can you please explain to me that Tuyuhun will only be a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty and will not become a part of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Xiang became even more confused after hearing this. Your southern army has clearly retreated, but you still want to become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. Are you confused?
Li Xiang's brain was originally online, but Prime Minister Midu just said what he was thinking, so his brain is a little panicked at the moment, and his IQ is temporarily offline. It must be said that Prime Minister Midu's IQ is definitely higher than that of ordinary people.
"Your Highness only brought these few dozen guards?"
Prime Minister Midu looked behind Li Xiang and saw nothing but empty grassland. He felt helpless.
"What exactly do you want to say?"
Li Xiang was really confused now. What on earth was this guy trying to do? Although he only brought a few dozen people, Li Xiang still had nearly 100,000 troops in his system space, ready to be deployed at any time.
"This should be what Your Highness wants."
Prime Minister Midu did not answer Li Xiang's words, but took out another letter. On it was indeed the vassal state agreement that Li Xiang wanted, but there were some doubts about the signature. The signature on it was Prime Minister Midu's.
"Prime Minister, are you sure? This isn't a simple armistice agreement. It's a letter of credence between two countries. It's not that I look down on you, Prime Minister, but this signature must be from your Khan."
Li Xiang has intentionally or unintentionally set his sights on the south, and his meaning is very clear. Your Khan is not far away. I certainly cannot recognize your signature. This is not a formal vassal agreement.
"I am not mistaken. If Your Highness can help me deal with these more than a thousand Royal Court cavalry, then this will be the signature of Tuyuhun Khan."
When Prime Minister Midu said this, Li Xiang finally understood what was going on. It turned out that this guy had the intention of usurping the throne...
