Datang: Just been appointed as the crown prince, the counterattack system is here

Chapter 155 Three Gifts from the Prince of the Tang Dynasty! [Seeking monthly tickets]

"You have lost your ability to think. I never thought you would betray Jie Li?"

"Hahaha--!"

When the tribal chiefs saw the newcomers, they were stunned at first, and then burst into laughter, as if they had discovered something incredible.

You must know that when Jie Li united all the tribes and went south to Weishui, it was Zhishisili who went to negotiate with Li Shimin.

As a result, the negotiations failed and he was detained in Chang'an by Li Shimin.

He was released only after Jie Li and Li Shimin signed the Weishui Alliance.

It's extremely embarrassing.

Is such a person qualified to be a tribal chief?

Therefore, not long after, Zhishisili lost his power as the tribal chief and became a small leader beside Jie Li.

But they never expected that Zhishisili would actually betray Jie Li and defect to Tuli, who was like a stray dog.

Of course, although they all looked down on Zhishishili, Zhishishili was the messenger of Tuli, so they did not laugh at him too much.

"Tell me, Zhishisili, what did Tuli ask you to talk to us about?" Yishiyinan asked with a smile.

Zhishisili glanced at him calmly, then looked around at the tribal chiefs and said calmly, "Are these all the tribes you have allied with?"

"Yes, they are all chiefs of various tribes!"

Yishi Yinan smiled and nodded, then asked, "Are you also here to form an alliance on behalf of Tuli?"

"Yes!"

Zhishisili nodded slightly.

Upon hearing this, Yishi Yinan raised a smug expression, which disappeared in an instant. Then he said with a broad smile, "Since you are here to form an alliance, let me first tell you the conditions of our alliance!"

"First, we formed an alliance to fight against Jie Li. Therefore, if Jie Li attacks any of our tribes, we must send troops to aid."

"Secondly, due to the continuous snowstorms on the grasslands, we are running low on food and supplies. To cope with the disaster, each allied tribe must contribute a portion of their food and supplies for emergency use!"

"Third, the alliance ceremony must be performed by the tribal chief himself, carrying the command arrow."

"Can you agree to the above three conditions on behalf of Tuli?"

"can!"

Zhishisili agreed without hesitation: "I can agree not only on behalf of Tuli Khan, but also on behalf of the chief of Mohui."

"Mountain meeting?"

Yishi Yinan was slightly stunned: "You mean the Khitan tribe also wants to ally with us?"

"Exactly!"

"This"

Upon hearing this, Yi Shiyinan was stunned.

You know, the fighting power of the Khitans is not weaker than that of the Turks.

Although the Khitans are still ruled by the Turks, that is the Khitan tribe after its split.

During the Wude period, the intact Khitan tribe was able to tie down one-third of the Tang Dynasty's military forces.

This shows the power of the Khitan tribe.

However, even after the split, the Khitan tribe remained quite powerful.

Otherwise, he would not be able to protect the remnants of the Tuli who were defeated by Jie Li.

Therefore, when Yishiyinan heard that the Khitan tribe would also form an alliance with him, he was so ecstatic that he almost laughed out loud.

However, no matter how ecstatic he was, he didn't show it. Instead, he suppressed his ecstasy and said calmly, "Alright! Whether it's Tuli or Mohui, if they want to form an alliance with us, the conditions are the same!"

“I understand this!”

Zhishisili nodded sincerely, then asked in return, "When are you going to Linhuang?"

"Ok?"

Yishiyinan was stunned again and turned to look at the chiefs of other tribes.

I found that they were looking at each other with confused faces.

Why would they go to the royal court of the Khitan tribe for no reason?
Even if they form an alliance, it will be Tuli and Mo who come to Yu Dujun Mountain of the Xueyantuo tribe!

"What? You don't want to form an alliance with us?" Zhishisili asked with a frown.

Yishi Yinan's face darkened. "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing special. It's just an alliance. You said we should fight against Jie Li together, give up some food and supplies, and be bound together with the command arrow. We agree to all these conditions. I just want to ask when you will form the alliance!"

"What are you talking about? It was you who came to us and asked for an alliance, not us asking for an alliance with you!"

Yishi Yinan said angrily, "You should come to us to form an alliance, understand?"

"Yes, Zhishisi Li! Are you confused? Can't you tell the main points from the secondary ones?"

The Huihe chieftain said with some amusement: "We are not the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and we will not detain you. Think it over carefully before you speak!"

"Hahaha!"

The tribal chiefs burst into laughter again.

Zhishisili's expression grew serious, and he said in a deep voice, "I'm not wrong. I was just asking you when we're going to Linhuang to form an alliance!"

"Oh!"

Upon hearing this, Yishi Yinan slammed the documents in front of him and shouted angrily, "Zhishi Sili! What on earth do you mean? How dare you come here and act like a troublemaker!"

After saying that, he stood up from his seat.

At the same time, several Xueyantuo soldiers rushed in from outside the door.

The chiefs of the other tribes also stopped laughing at this time and looked at Zhishisili coldly.

Although they didn't know what Zhishisili was up to, it was obviously impossible for him to win them over to the alliance between Tuli and Mohui based on just a few words from him.

But then Zhishisili said calmly and confidently, "I am here to discuss an alliance with you on behalf of Tuli Khan and the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty!"

"What!?"

The tribal chiefs were shocked when they heard this.

Even Yishi Yinan's eyes widened.

Why would Tuli surrender to the Crown Prince of Tang?
Didn't he ask for help from the Tang Emperor? Why didn't he surrender to the Tang Emperor?!

Also, what does it mean to negotiate an alliance on behalf of the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty?
Not only was Yishiyinan confused, but even the chiefs of other tribes were bewildered.

However, Zhishisili did not give them much time to think. He just raised his hands and clapped his hands. The three Turks who followed him, holding three boxes, squeezed past the Xueyantuo soldiers blocking the door and appeared in the tent.

"This is a gift from the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty to our Khan. It is also a gift from the Khan to you before we formed an alliance."

As he spoke, Zhishisili picked up a box and slowly opened it in front of the tribal chiefs.

All the tribal chiefs stood up and stretched their necks to check.

Inside was a very exquisite and extremely sharp Tang Dynasty horizontal sword.

"This"

The Huihe chief immediately fell in love with the Tang Dynasty sword, his eyes sparkling with greed. The chiefs of the other tribes were similar, their eyes full of the word "want".

But after just a moment, Zhishisili closed the lid, picked up another box with a smile and slowly opened it.

Inside was a pile of crystals as white as snowflakes and as fine as grains of sand.

The tribal chiefs thought they were seeing things, and they couldn't help but rub their eyes, wondering, "What is this?"

"It looks like white sand, but this is the first time I've seen sand this fine!"

"Isn't that pearl powder? I remember people in the Tang Dynasty had something like this, and it was edible!"

"What's so special about pearl powder? It won't fill you up! What's the point of it?"

Seeing the tribal chiefs' misunderstanding deepening, Zhishisili couldn't help but explain with a bit of a smile: "This is salt! Although it won't fill you up, it's very important to you. I'm sure you all understand!"

"What!?"

Chief Bayegu was surprised: "This is actually salt!?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Chief Tongluo expressed his doubts directly and said, "Salt is definitely not like this! Don't try to fool us!"

"Yes, we have eaten salt from the Tang Dynasty, and it is not like this at all!" Yishi Yinan couldn't help but agree.

Upon hearing this, Zhishisili looked at him with a smile, then without saying anything, he picked up a pinch of salt, put it in his mouth, and said with a smile, "You'll know if it's salt if you try it."

"This"

When the tribal chiefs saw Zhishisili's actions, they hesitated slightly, then looked at each other. Immediately, a braver tribal chief stepped forward, picked up a pinch of salt and put it in his mouth.

In just a moment, the pure salty taste he had never experienced before filled his mouth, making his eyes widen and he looked at the chiefs of other tribes in disbelief.

"Bulger! Say something! Is that salt!?"

"Yeah, Bulger, please speak up! I'm so anxious!"

"Yes Yes"

The chief named Bulger seemed to be disgusted by the saltiness and even stuttered when he spoke, but seeing his excited expression, the chiefs of other tribes knew that it was indeed salt, so they came forward one by one to taste this snow salt they had never seen before.

When the pure salty taste filled their mouths, they were instantly conquered by it.

"Oh my God! I never thought there would be such delicious food in the world!"

The Uighur chief was so excited that tears came to his eyes and he couldn't help roaring to the sky.

Zhishisi Li smiled and closed the lid, saying:
"The remaining box is for you to open! This is Tuli Khan's greatest reward after surrendering to the Tang Crown Prince!"

Then he looked around at the tribal chiefs and said, "Now tell me, when will you go to Linhuang to form an alliance?"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, the tribal chiefs realized that Zhishisili had come to invite them to form an alliance, and they could not help but look at Yishiyinan with embarrassment.

Yishi Yinan's face had already turned the color of liver. He stood there without saying a word, staring at Zhishi Sili.

After a long while, he suppressed his anger and spoke word by word, "We have ten tribes, and you only have two. Why should we form an alliance with you? Just based on these three boxes of gifts? You're simply wishful thinking!"

"No, you're mistaken. It's not about the three boxes of gifts. It's about us already surrendering to the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty. If you form an alliance with us, you will become his vassal!"

Zhishisi Li smiled and shook his head, then said solemnly:
"From now on, Tuli Khan will be your nominal leader, and the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty will be your backer!"

"As long as you are willing to obey orders, after you destroy Jie Li, his territory will be divided among you!"

"What!?"

When the tribal chiefs heard this, including Yishi Yinan, they were all shocked.

They never imagined that there would be such benefits in joining the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty.

You know, they never thought that the alliance of their tribes could destroy Jie Li.

Not to mention dividing up Jie Li's territory.

However, Zhishisili's next words shocked them so much that they were speechless.

But then Zhishisili added, "I won't hide it from you. In a while, the Tang Dynasty will go to war with the Jie Li. When that happens, Tuli Khan and the Great Chieftain of the Mohui will join forces with the Tang army to wipe out the Jie Li."

"If you surrender to the Crown Prince of Tang at this time, you might be able to gain some benefits. If you miss this opportunity."

"hey-hey."

Having said this, Zhishisili gave a sly smile, then drew his sword and walked directly to the iron frame supporting the cooking pot in the middle. He cut through one of the iron frames with one sword, revealing the undamaged blade, and said threateningly: "This is your end!"

When the tribal chiefs saw this, their pupils suddenly shrank.

What kind of powerful weapon is this, it can cut through iron like mud?!
Is the Tang Dynasty still the same Tang Dynasty that I and others remember?

Just as the tribal chiefs were in a state of confusion, Zhishisili put away his sword, turned around and said, "I have brought what Tuli Khan asked me to bring. You can decide for yourselves, but you only have three days to consider!"

After saying this, he led his men out of the tent.

The Xueyantuo soldiers stood there in a daze, not daring to move.

It was not until the sound of horses and whips was heard outside the door that the tribal chiefs reacted and looked at Yishiyinan.

Yi Shiyinan just stood there in a daze, unable to speak for a long time.

He originally thought that Tuli and the others were here to assist him, but he didn't expect this to be the case.

However, just as he was thinking about how to unite his allies, a word from the Uighur chief made him feel like he was falling into an ice cave.

But the Uighur chieftain laughed wryly and said, "I think it's a good idea to let Tuli be our leader. After all, he was a Khan before!"

"This"

Upon hearing this, the chiefs of other tribes couldn't help but look hesitant.

Although they had already recognized Tuli in their hearts, no one spoke to agree with the words of the Uighur chief.

At this moment, Chief Bayegu walked towards the last box curiously and said with a smile: "I want to see what this thing is that can make Tuli abandon the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and turn to the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty!"

After saying this, he opened the box without waiting for the response from other tribal chiefs.

The moment the box was opened, a puff of white smoke came out, and at the same time, two words were written inside the box: 'Throw it away!'

"Ok?"

Bayegu was stunned for a moment, then he threw the person out the door without saying a word and ran away.

In less than three breaths, a thunderous explosion sounded outside the door.

"Bam—!"

Hearing the explosion, the tribal chiefs were frightened out of their wits and fell to the ground one by one.

Even Yishi Yinan was so frightened that his face turned pale and his legs couldn't help trembling.

Immediately afterwards, screams and shouts were heard outside the door.

"Ah! It hurts! Help!"

"Great Chief! The gods are angry! The gods are punishing us!"

“Kneel down! Kneel down now!!”
