Chapter 663: Controversy After the Battle (Part II)
And although Zhang Yuan'an felt a little comfortable in his heart, he didn't dare to show it on the face, after all, Tang Wenzhong was above him in terms of status and ability in the scout camp, not to mention that he was still an lieutenant, and Ye Qingcheng's actions undoubtedly pushed him to the opposite side of Tang Wenzhong, which was not what he wanted.
But fortunately, Ye Tingcheng's next question immediately solved the contradictions and doubts between the two of them.
"Lvshuai Zhang, I remember the first time I met you, you introduced yourself as a member of the Turkic Duosi Division, right?" Ye Qingcheng asked after saluting.
Zhang Yu'an was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Ye Tingcheng to ask him for this, even Tang Wenzhong and Wang Quan on the side were confused, but Huan Chenyu, who was beside Ye Tingcheng, understood what Ye Tingcheng meant.
Brother Ye asked what he meant by this? ”
In fact, if it weren't for Ye Tingcheng to ask, many of these guys present actually didn't know what kind of person Zhang Yu'an was, they only knew that he was a Turk, as for what department he was from, who would memorize these things, but Ye Tingcheng, but he said it once when he introduced himself, and he actually wrote it down, this guy's memory is really a little terrible.
"Will Zhang Lvshuai still contact the clan recently?"
Zhang Yuan'an's face changed, and he seemed a little angry, even the other people present probably misunderstood Ye Yuancheng's meaning, in their opinion, Ye Yuancheng actually suspected Zhang Yuancheng of collaborating with the enemy. Although the Tang Dynasty does not restrict Hu people from joining the army, and arranges personnel according to their ability very fairly, even Hu people, as long as they have the ability, they can still win the general, such as An Lushan Shi Siming and others can worship generals, not to mention others.
But these people are not necessarily completely loyal to the Tang Dynasty, maybe they all have their own thoughts and have their own card counting, but because their family business is larger, it is generally impossible to betray the Tang Dynasty, but a small officer like Zhang Yu'an, a mere brigade commander can not be sure, not to mention that as a brigade commander of the scout battalion, he has a lot of confidential information about the Tang Army, in case he leaks this information to the Turks, it will be a little unfavorable to the Tang Dynasty.
"What does Brother Ye mean by this? Are you questioning whether I, Zhang, will betray the Tang Dynasty and be loyal to the Turks?" Zhang Yuan said slightly angrily.
Ye Chengcheng was also stunned, and when he looked at the expressions of the scout camp brothers around him, he understood that he didn't seem to be very good at talking, and he didn't express what he meant, which made them misunderstand, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, Zhang Lvshuai and everyone seem to have misunderstood, I didn't mean that." ”
Seeing Ye Chengcheng hurriedly explain, Zhang Yu'an breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that they were thinking too much.
"Then Brother Ye suddenly asked what ...... about this matter?"
"The Xi Qi coalition army was completely annihilated by our Tang army this time, this news will not be long before it spreads to the surrounding countries and tribes, as the Turkic Khanate, which is the overlord of the north, they will not be able to ignore this incident, and they will inevitably annex the original Khitan and Xi's sphere of influence on a large scale, then they will directly become our only and biggest threat in the north, I need to know some information about them from you. ”
"So that's the case, Brother Ye really deserves to be the leader of this battle, and it can really be described as far-sighted, but I'm afraid that Brother Ye will be disappointed, and the Turks are probably not able to make any reaction to this matter. ”
"Oh, why is that?" Ye Qingcheng said strangely, in his opinion, it was wrong for the Turks not to react to this.
"Brother Ye should know that the Turkic Khanate is actually not all pure-blooded Turkic people, most of the members are actually attached to various tribes, among which the Ba Ximi, Hui and Qarlu are the largest tribes, and the Turks can still suppress their three tribes when they are strong, but recently, the strength of the Turks has deteriorated, and the strength of the three tribes has continued to rise, and they have begun to have ambitions. Speaking of this, he paused, obviously thinking about something, but finally sighed lightly, and then said: "It stands to reason that I shouldn't reveal the next thing, but since Brother Ye asked, then I told you, and I hope you just act as if nothing happened." To tell you the truth, just last month, the eldest brother of my clan sent me a letter, asking me to see if I could take the time to discuss with Wang Shuai, and then report all the way to Emperor Xuanzong if he could attack the Turks, because the three tribes already have the heart of independence, and even have written secret letters to the leaders of various tribes to overthrow the rule of the Turks, which is why I will say that the Turks have no energy to expand their territory. ”
Ye Chengcheng couldn't help but take two steps back, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and he had an expression of disbelief, what was Zhang Yuan talking about just now? He said that the Turks were no longer good? And the three major tribes wanted to be independent? In other words, if the Tang Dynasty cooperated with the three tribes to overthrow the Turks, then the Turks, who had been plaguing the northern border of the Tang Dynasty for so many years, would be completely wiped out. Although the Tang Dynasty had destroyed the Turks before, they quickly revived, and even before, if the timing was better, they could completely destroy the Turks.
But then the three tribes will take the place of the Turks and become the next Turks, and he doesn't want a situation where three wolves have eaten a tiger that is struggling to survive, and they will become three tigers in the future, and if they want to completely eradicate them, it will take a lot of effort.
Not only Ye Chengcheng, but also all the Tang troops, including Tang Wenzhong and Wang Quan, also showed unbelievable expressions when they heard this explosive news, in their impression, the Turkic Khanate was not a small role like the Xi Qi Alliance, but a powerful country that could really compete with the Tang Dynasty, but they were now on the verge of extinction, which was really incredible. They were all scouts and understood the importance of this kind of news, so at the same time, they were also curious about why Zhang Yu'an did not report this news to Wang Zhonghe, if this news was true, then he would definitely be promoted, but he did not do so.
I'm afraid it's for his own clan, Ye Tingcheng thought like this, Duosi was just a small tribe, and the reason why Zhang Yu'an's brother Zhang wanted Zhang Yu'an to speak to Wang Zhongji was because that straw bag didn't think about the consequences of doing so at all. Since it is a small tribe, the three major tribes have not spoken, and they have not yet asked for help from the Tang Dynasty, which onion is their Duosi Department, and they actually dare to rush ahead of the three major tribes, even if the Tang Army really sends troops to exterminate the Turks, they will inevitably liquidate the Duosi Department afterwards.
