Mo Hedong and Mo Hedagan were stunned when he heard Pei Min's words.

Pei Min squinted his eyes and looked at the two of them. With his personality, he would never let the enemy who invaded his country go.

Just like the particularly passionate saying of the Han Dynasty, "Those who violate the powerful Han Dynasty in an intellectual way will be punished even if they are far away."

Therefore, since Pei Min commanded the army, his tactics and tactics have been different, but the final result is the same. He will be destroyed in battle, and he will be captured or killed, so that they will never leave comfortably.

It is not simply a defeat and repelling, but a heavy blow to the invading enemy, a devastating blow.

But everything is exceptional.

After meeting with Mosremasa, Pei Min realized the seriousness of the situation in the Western Regions.

As wars that have reached this level, the Tang Dynasty also needs a decent ally to relieve the pressure.

Pei Min chose not as a Tuqi Shi. Not only does the jackal habits of the grassland people, he is not qualified to do so.

He chose the Eastern Roman Empire, which is Byzantium.

There was no obvious conflict of interest between the Byzantine Empire and the Tang Dynasty, and the Byzantine Empire also needed a strong ally to help share the pressure.

Compared with the Western Regions, Constantinople of the Byzantine Empire was the giant city that the Arab Empire was more eager to capture.

However, Constantinople has a defensive system that Westerners claim to be invincible, as well as the most advanced and powerful naval army in the world, as well as magical artifacts such as Greek fire, which made the Arab Empire afraid.

However, in the current Byzantium, in the face of the real Arab Empire, only Constantinople and the navy can boast about it.

Their 6th army was almost completely destroyed, and they rely on a giant city that is easy to defend but difficult to attack to retreat.

It is also for this reason that Byzantine deserves its spare power to support Tuqishi and fund Sulu Khan, in order to use Tuqishi's iron spear to fight against the pressure of the 6th Army of the Arab Empire.

Byzantine and Tuqishi have been in alliance for many years, and it was not easy for the Tang Dynasty to get a kick.

Moreover, the alliance that Pei Min wanted to promote was not a simple mutual benefit alliance, but a common benefit alliance with the Tang Dynasty as its leader, allowing Byzantium to recognize the Tang Dynasty as its eldest brother, on the one hand, reflecting the power of the Tang Dynasty and on the other hand, it also facilitates future actions.

However, as a descendant of ancient Rome in the early years, Byzantium had greatly weakened its strength, but it also supported its face.

With the strong support of the Tang Dynasty, Pei Min believed that Byzantine would agree with each other, but it was most likely that they would not want to recognize the Tang Dynasty as the leader.

They will not accept such alliance conditions unless they have to.

Pei Min released Mo Hedong and Mo Hedagan, which made Byzantium bow down.

Byzantium now has a thundering alliance, and the demand for a new ally is not so urgent, let alone recognize a big brother.

Although the Tukkiss hit Pei Min hard, the foundation was still there.

Ge Luolu was able to take advantage of the situation to bite a piece of meat that the thunder cavalry had put on, but he had no way to destroy it.

In the end, the two sides held each other's mutual support, which was originally more suitable for the current interests of the Tang Dynasty.

But what Pei Min has to do now is to destroy Byzantine's reliance. Letting Mo Hedong and Mo Heda go back will inevitably lead to splitting and civil strife between the Black Tribe and the Yellow Tribe.

The Tang Dynasty was giving Geluo more support, and the originally unbearable situation of Tuqishi was even more critical and would be too busy to take care of himself.

Losing the reliable ally of Tukshi, Byzantium urgently needed a brand new ally.

The Tang Dynasty was undoubtedly the best choice, and the Tang Dynasty could also take over a little brother...

However, after leaving Mo Hedong and Mo Hedagan, Pei Min was unwilling to accept it, and at least he had to collect some money to sell himself back.

Mo Hedong became older and more cunning, and asked, "What do you want to do? The great Tang Dynasty and the dignified Duke of Pei Guo, how could he care about the little profits of a fly?"

Pei Min smiled and said, "It's not that you care, but that you are unwilling to give up."

He said here, with a stern expression and said, "I hate the one who offends my territory the most in my life, and I will kill as many as I come. You have heard of it more or less..."

Mo Hedong and a chill in Mo Hedagan's heart.

They had heard of Pei Min's record for a long time, but they only felt that it was exaggerated. It was not until they experienced it personally that they realized it was terrible.

"It is no longer a secret that our dynasty will gain how much profit our dynasty will gain through the trade routes of the Western Regions. The more stable the Western Regions are, the more profit our dynasty will make. Therefore, compared to killing you, we hope for peace in the Western Regions more!"

"Sulu's son, Erweitler, does not trust our dynasty. Instead of letting him control Tuqishi, it is better to let you go back and you will be the Khan of Tuqishi."

"Of course, it's not for nothing. You have to pay tribute to me to express your surrender."

"What do you think?"

Pei Min generously revealed his territory.

Mo Hedong and Mo Hedagan looked at each other and noticed Pei Min's intentions. He thought that even if he didn't bleed, he would let him go, so why bother to spend money in vain?

Mo Hedong bent his waist deeply and said, "I am willing to surrender to the great His Majesty of Heaven Khan."

He verbally expressed his surrender, but he never mentioned tribute or something.

Pei Min sneered: "Yes, you think well. No matter what, I will let you go back. Regardless of whether you pay the ransom or not, you will pay tribute to me. But don't forget that when to let you go, the decision is in my hands. It just so happens that I have a good relationship with Khan of Gelulu. I can let him attack the Supu tribe or attack the Julan City. Do you think your new Khan will send troops to rescue him?"

Mo Hedong and Mo Hedagan's face changed suddenly and she was sweating profusely.

The Supu tribe mentioned by Pei Min, Julan City is the backbone of the Tuqi Shihuang tribe. The former is a large tribe that is devoted to Mo Hedong, and the latter is directly the nest of the Mohe tribe.

Now the Tuqi Shi Huang tribe has lost one arm, and the Supu tribe and Julan City have lost another chance to compete with the Hei tribe.

Moreover, Erweitler is the most sinister and will definitely not miss this opportunity to subdue the Yellow Army.

At that time, the storm was like a civil strife, but they had no chance of winning.

When Mo Hedong faced Pei Min, he did not dare to take any luck. He bent down again and said, "Since you have agreed to submit, you will naturally be indispensable for tribute. In order to comply with the great virtues of the Duke, I am willing to offer five thousand irons to repay the grace of pardon."

Pei Min frowned.

Mo Hedong immediately said: "Don't underestimate the five thousand irons. When the country was careless, the country attacked their supplies and plundered the Indian elite iron. The Duke knew that I was not good at smelting techniques, so this iron was of no use to us. But I know very well that the Heavenly Dynasty regards it as a treasure and is willing to offer it all..."

"Okay!" Pei Min responded without hesitation, extremely cheerful.

The Indian iron is Damascus steel, which is indeed a treasure worthy of being moved by.

"Class leader, let's go back first. I will stay here as a guest. The day when you send the Imperial Iron to the Heavenly Iron will be when I return the Imperial Iron! "

Mo Hedong also knew that he was not qualified to bargain, so he accepted his fate and agreed to his promise.

Things in the Western Regions have been handled almost the same.

Just as Pei Min was about to withdraw his troops and return to Liangzhou, Pei Min received an unexpected message.

The signature of the visiting letter is Gao Xianzhi!

Pei Min thought that there were still some things to deal with in his hands, and said, "Let Gao Xianzhi come to see you in the afternoon!"

When we arrived at noon, Gao Xianzhi came as promised.

"Please sit down!"

After more than ten years in the Tang Dynasty, Pei Min has met many famous generals and has already gained a certain degree of immunity to such celebrities.

Unless he is a person of Du Fu, Pei Min believes that he will not be too excited anymore and only has this simple appreciation of Gao Xianzhi.

"Thank you!"

Gao Xianzhi is still a guerrilla general now. Although he is quite famous, he is just a common general. Compared with Pei Min, it is a very different person and seems very respectful.

Pei Min laughed and praised Gao Xianzhi for his good fight in the previous battle, saying: "If you hadn't attacked in time, seized the opportunity and stopped Sulu's breakthrough, we would not have won such a big victory."

Gao Xianzhi said: "That's because the Duke of the State is well-instructed, and Mo Jiang is very curious. Why is the Duke of the State sure that Su Lu chooses to bypass Jiedan Mountain instead of breaking through the Suyechuankou?"

"Is there any difference?" Pei Min shrugged indifferently, "The army is inconsistent, and the water is inconsistent. I have never been sure that Sulu will go to Jiedan Mountain, but just arranged for you to encircle. If he leaves the sacrificial Yechuankou, he will lose even worse. I have set up 150,000 troops in the sacrificial Yechuankou. Once the confrontation is fought, Sulu will not have any experience in taking care of the rear. At that time, you will be attacked by my brand new orders and attacked."

"Sulu showed his trump card too early, which made me calmly arrange the battlefield. No matter how he chooses, the result is the same, but the way of playing is different."

Gao Xianzhi sighed and said, "The government uses troops to combine strange and righteousness, and obtains the vastness of the main soldiers and the great benefits of the strange soldiers. The last general is deeply impressed."

Pei Min saw Gao Xianzhi's "honest" look a little shiny: "General is wrong, why don't you come here just to praise Pei, right?"

Gao Xianzhi was a little embarrassed and suddenly said deeply: "The last general admires the Duke Gao Yi, and is willing to serve the tent, and be the Duke of the State to be the front and back."

Pei Min was stunned. He thought about Gao Xianzhi's reason to find him, but he didn't expect that he came to the door to ask him to accept him?

Are you dissatisfied with your current status?

His father Gao Sheji worked hard in Anxi for half his life, but was just a guerrilla general. He was the same rank as his father's father at the age of twenty. In terms of age, he was already very amazing.

Pei Min pondered for a moment and said, "I admire your talent very much. It is also an honor for me to be able to serve as an excellent general like you. But I want to know why it is so sudden? How was your life in Beiting unhappy?"

Gao Xianzhi was silent for a while and said, "It's not that it's not that it's not going well, it's just that it's a little unsatisfactory."

He was a little difficult to speak and didn't know how to speak.

Pei Min smiled and said, "It's okay, there's only you and me here, there's nothing wrong with saying." After a pause, he saw Gao Xianzhi still feeling a little embarrassed, and guessed, "Is it because of the governor of Gai Jie?"

Gao Xianzhi nodded and said, "The Duke of the State is clear! It is indeed because of the Jiedushi. It is not that the subordinates are dissatisfied with their superiors. It is just a pity that the current Jiedushi has not been the same. When the Jiedushi was not the Jiedushi, he was loyal and brave, and he was brave and fearless. He always had a good reputation before every battle. He was sincerely admired. But since he was in a high position, he was a little contented and enjoyable, without enterprising spirit, and his passion was not there. When the thunder cavalry was invading, the last one proposed to either go south to support and share the pressure for Anxi, or directly send troops to force them to divide the troops. However, the Jiedushi said that his main task was to guard Beiting and it was inconvenient to move troops easily. It was really disappointing..."

Pei Min looked at Gao Xianzhi with his head down, his eyes were like torches, and he sighed in his heart: Gao Xianzhi is indeed Gao Xianzhi. He has extraordinary skills and ambitions.

But this ambition is both a driving force and an invisible harm.

Pei Min is very clear about the deeds of famous generals. Gao Xianzhi made great achievements for the Tang Dynasty across the border, which is indeed commendable.

However, as the status is higher and the ambition cannot be suppressed, it becomes a negative emotion.

Shiguo is located on the Silk Road, with excellent agriculture, and its residents are good at doing business, and they are rich in the West.

Gao Xianzhi coveted the wealth of the Shi Kingdom and wanted to plunder it for himself. In the ninth year of Tianbao, Gao Xianzhi falsely accused King Shi of "no foreign ministers" and led his troops to attack.
