If the knife does not cut on himself.

It doesn't hurt.

If the knife is not on his neck.

That won't be scary.

What Li Chengqian said, maybe no one will feel anything.

Could it be that he can really bring his thousand or so people to call?

Don't make people laugh out of their big teeth.

Therefore, Xi Wangyu and Wen Yuanliang didn't take it seriously.

It's still time to eat, drink, and enjoy every day.

But when Su Dingfang led 50,000 elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to the Xi border.

Can he sit still?

On the same day, the ministers were summoned to discuss the matter in the king's tent, and Zhao Youlin was among them.

If you ask him why he is here, why did he become a high-ranking official of the Xi clan within half a year?

All of this has to save his little girl named Yuwen Qingying from before.

As mentioned above, the Xi clan was established by the Xianbei Yuwen clan.

And this girl is in the territory of the Khitan tribe, but she has the surname of Yuwen, who can't think of it?

Zhao Youlin is not a fool, and naturally knows the inside story.

And he has no other skills, stealing women's hearts is definitely a good hand.

Once upon a time, women like Li Tingxue were attracted to him, let alone others.

After getting along, it didn't take long for the two to make a private lifelong decision, Yuwen Qingying explained her life experience to Zhao Youlin.

As Zhao Youlin expected, Yuwen Qingying is a member of the Xi royal family.

It's just that he is the daughter of the former King Xi and the current King Xi's brother.

After the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Northern Desert, the royal court of the Xi nationality also underwent changes, and the former Xi Wang Yuwen Dongting was killed by his younger brother Yuwen Yuanliang.

After Yuwen Yuanliang established himself as the queen, he immediately hunted down Yuwen Dongting's wife and children.

Fortunately, the loyal ministry will protect each other with death, and Yuwen Qingying and her brother were able to escape.

After settling her in the cave, her brother went to the Khitan Ministry alone to try to gain the support of the Khitan and restore the country.

Later, she met Zhao Youlin, who fled into the valley in a panic.

When the little girl said this, she didn't notice at all that Zhao Youlin's eyes had changed.

Immersed in love, she is still naively imagining the future with Zhao Youlin.

She was almost unguarded, and told Zhao Youlin that her brother had told her that the Khitan had promised to help them restore the country.

Sure enough, women who fall in love are all fools.

However, this woman's sincerity gave Li Chengqian a dog in his mouth.

As the saying goes, I will be dedicated to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch......

Within two days, Zhao Youlin brought Yuwen Qingying to Yuwen Yuanliang.

and in front of her, he said about the collusion between the Khitan and the brother and sister.

Yuwen Qingying was unlucky, and she didn't know her life and death after being thrown into prison.

At the same time, Yuwen Yuanliang also immediately sent an envoy to question the Khitan.

Plans have been exposed.

What else could the Khitan do?

A few days later, the Khitan sent the head of Yuwen Qingying's brother.

Zhao Youlin Yougong and the Xi clan were personally given the official position of Burke by Yuwen Yuanliang, and led 5,000 cavalry to garrison Sanggan.

Then there was the scene of Zhao Youlin leading troops to swagger in front of Li Chengqian.

Not to mention the side, just based on his unclear history of ascendancy.

I don't know what kind of face he has, and he ran to Li Chengqian to show off his might.

……

At this moment, several ministers of the Xi clan also pointed the finger at Zhao Youlin.

Zhao Deyan, who claimed that Hanchen had misled the country and spoke of the Northern Desert Turks, is a well-known example.

Jieli reused Zhao Deyan to promote Han law in his ministry and abandon the ancestral system, causing the huge Turks to fall apart.

Although several years have passed, this matter is still thunderous.

In Yuwen Yuanliang's gaze, he inevitably began to look at Zhao Youlin with scrutinizing eyes.

Seeing this, Zhao Youlin hurriedly bowed: "My loyalty to the king can be seen by the sun and the moon, and the heavens and the earth can be learned." ”

"If it weren't for his Tang people crossing the border to provoke, I wouldn't have led troops to deterrence."

"It's just that Li Chengqian deceived people too much, not only killed my soldiers, but also said wildly that the king would apologize in person."

"If the king wants to blame me for this, then behead me......"

Not to mention, Zhao Youlin's acting skills can definitely be called an actor.

The words were full of tears, and he really showed a loyal minister.

After Yuwen Yuanliang saw it, he also sighed with emotion, feeling that he shouldn't doubt him.

Yuwen Yuanliang waved his hand and said, "That's it, you are also thinking about my Xi clan, I don't blame you for this." ”

"But now, the Central Plains armor has been pressed, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

A Xi strategist came out of the crowd and said, "I don't think the king should start a war with Tang rashly out of his momentary prestige. ”

"Now, Tang exterminated the Northern Desert Tuguhun, which is the time when morale is grand."

"If our army fights Tang at this time, it will inevitably bring a heavy price to our people."

"Therefore, I suggest that the king take the initiative to ask Tang for peace."

Don't wait for Yuwen Yuanliang to speak.

Zhao Youlin spoke: "Obviously, they were the first to oppress us, but they let us apologize first, what is the reason?" ”

"Isn't this a slap in the face?"

"If you really do that, how will the Khitan, Goguryeo, and even the Murowei, Ya and other clans view the king?"

"How will my Xi clan gain a foothold among the various ethnic groups in the future?"

After the Northern Desert Turks were destroyed, the Xi people accepted many old people from the Turks.

As a result, this once little-known clan has become a large clan with more than 50,000 soldiers and nearly one million people.

There is a tendency to become the top of the three northeasts.

And Zhao Youlin's words also suddenly entered Yuwen Yuanliang's heart.

He knew very well that if he bowed to Datang at this time, no one in the Northeast would definitely listen to his dispatch in the future.

Zhao Youlin also said at the right time: "If the king is iron-clad and dedicated to maintaining the dignity of the Xi people, he will inevitably be respected by others." ”

"Even if there is a war with the Tang Dynasty because of this, the king can also use the name of the head of the three times to order the two tribes of Fei and Khitan to provide him with food and military horses."

"It's all three clans in one, and there is Yanshan Taihang as a support, who can help my Xi clan?"

The Xi people originally lived in the mountains, separated from the Central Plains by the entire Yan Mountain and part of the Taihang Mountain.

If the Tang Dynasty and the Xi people go to war, if they want to reach the Xi people's headquarters, they must cross these two mountains.

It is a taboo for soldiers to climb mountains and mountains, which is not only conducive to the enemy's ambush, but also makes logistics and supply extremely difficult.

As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, and the grain and grass cannot reach the frontline battlefield, so how can the soldiers feel at ease?

Therefore, Zhao Youlin's words can be regarded as partially correct.

It's just that scholars are still scholars.

A lot of the time, it's just on paper.

If Li Chengqian is allowed to look at it, he will definitely be able to see the flaws at a glance.

It's just that there is no Li Chengqian in this Xi court, and that Yuwen Yuanliang is not Li Shimin.

He had been completely persuaded by Zhao Youlin at this time.

Almost without hesitation, he began to dispatch troops and send 20,000 troops to the mountains of Yanshan to set up camp and confront the Tang camp.

……

As the saying goes, instead of surrendering, the enemy dared to shoot back.

Isn't that the scene in front of you?

What about the Northern Desert Turks?

What about Tuyuhun?

Aren't they all big countries with hundreds of thousands of troops and millions of people?

They were all destroyed by Don.

The small Xi clan actually looked forward to relying on Yanshan to resist the Tang Dynasty.

That's too much to do......
