"Sir, what should I do as a Turk?" Jieli asked respectfully.

Zhao Deyan shook the feather fan lightly, and said inscrutablely: "Isn't the Great Khan already decided?" Having said that, he took the opportunity to show his vision to the Khan.

"To put it mildly, although the Great Khan is said to be the Great Khan of the Turks, the new monarch has not yet had the prestige to be submissive, so he intends to step on the Sui Dynasty to establish supreme authority, but now, foreign war is obviously impossible. If the Great Khan were to act by force, those who had been opposed to the Great Khan would have rebelled, and whoever won would have greatly damaged the strength of the Turks. Therefore, I thought that the Great Khan should not fight anymore. ”

Jieli Khan smiled bitterly: "Even if I want to fight, I can't do it." If we can't get into the Great Wall, the Turks will surely split again. ”

"The Great Khan is wise!" Zhao Deyan praised and said: "I foolishly thought that the Great Khan should take this opportunity to win over the hearts of the people and eliminate internal discord. ”

"Mr. Zhao, what should I do?"

"The art of war is cloudy: know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles; Knowing oneself without knowing the other, one wins and one loses; If you don't know who you are, you will lose every battle. Therefore, if the Great Khan wanted to break the current stalemate, he had to understand the Turkic problems themselves before he could deal with them. ”

Zhao Deyan gushed endlessly: "I think that the Turks have four major internal troubles: first, there are many tribes, different thoughts, and different military and political policies, so they will delay the warplane; Second, climate changes have led to frequent disasters. Third, the law, a law that is obeyed by the top and bottom, and is established in a unified manner, is the basis of law enforcement; Fourth, the territory is vast, and the government decree is not in force. ”

Jieli Khan pondered.

First: there are many tribes with different minds. This is a fact, a Turkic tribe is a separate state, and only when going out on an expedition will it obey the orders of the Great Khan, but when the Great Khan is weak, the various departments are passive and slack, thus missing many fleeting warplanes.

Second, climate changes have led to frequent disasters.

It is also a fact that in recent years, disasters have been repeated, and some tribes that cannot survive have taken risks in order to survive and attacked the surrounding tribes, making the Turks defend their neighbors more than the enemy. This kind of mutual calculation and mutual vigilance of the army, when it comes to the battlefield, how much combat power can be exerted?

Third, the testimonies!

Without sound laws, how can we talk about fair law enforcement? People are selfish, and in the absence of law, the adjudicators naturally favor relatives and friends, and in the long run, everyone is dissatisfied and complains.

Fourth, the territory is vast, and the government decree is not passed!

The Turks have been nomadic for generations, living in no fixed place, except for a few grasslands with abundant water and grass, wandering for a long time, and even the Turkic Great Khan does not know how many tribes there are and where they are settled, and he also does not know whether these tribes are alive or dead, once he disappears inexplicably, other tribes will say that he is not a good Great Khan, and the entire tribe disappears without knowing, what kind of Great Khan you are; Due to the vast territory and the inability of government decrees, it is impossible to mobilize a strong army in time in the event of a sudden war.

Zhao Deyan's four points point directly to the Turkic core!

There are some people in history who can do many vigorous things with one mouth.

Zhao Deyan also relied on one mouth at the moment, saying that the dead were alive, counting the internal instability of the Turks, and saying the facts.

What's more important is that he scratches the itch of Jieli Khan, as long as these four problems are solved, then, his dream of a great country is no longer a dream.

Jieli Khan's mind was moved, and he looked up to the sky and laughed: "What Sir said is that as long as these four major problems are solved, a Turkic khanate with unified military and political power will no longer be a dream. Just sir, what should I do now to twist the Turks into a monolith, and how to solve the problem at hand? ”

"While solving the problems at hand, the concept of integrating the military and the government has slowly infiltrated the people." Zhao Deyan muttered: "The foundation of the Great Khan is the army of hundreds of thousands of descendants in his hands, but now all the families of these armies have fallen into the hands of Yang Dong, if they are not redeemed, the army will be chaotic, once the army is chaotic and disloyal, then the Great Khan will be replaced by others." ”

Jieli Khan agreed: "The army is the foundation of the jungle in the steppe. ”

Zhao Deyan said: "Therefore, the Great Khan should redeem the families of these soldiers, so as to stabilize the hearts of the people, although it will lose a certain amount of property, but it can make hundreds of thousands of troops more loyal to the Great Khan and fight more bravely." ”

Although Jieli Khan was unwilling and resentful, he also knew that Zhao Deyan was right, "How to redeem?" ”

"Use Han slaves to exchange one-on-one, and the extra ones are exchanged for gold, silver, and jade, anyway, these things are useless in the hands of the Great Khan, it is better to use them in exchange for people's hearts."

The grassland people live in a harsh environment, and they attach great importance to the physical objects that can solve the problem of food and clothing, so the property is not gold, silver and jade, but the actual livestock, and they attach great importance to the physical objects thousands of times more than the cold gold and silver.

"Okay!" Jieli Khan agreed to the exchange, and asked, "And then?" ”

"After redeeming the families of the army, the Great Khan had two choices." Zhao Deyan said: "First, raise all the Turkic forces to the south, victory, the prestige of the Great Khan is like the sky, so that there is no disobedience, and then the internal problems will not be solved, and no one will follow what kind of law the Great Khan wants to promulgate, but if it is defeated, the internal contradictions will break out." At that time, the Turks will surely split into countless small Turkic states; Second, first settle down, and then also the decisive battle of the Sui Dynasty. ”

"Of the two options: the former is no less than a shocking gamble, and it is very undesirable, because the new Great Wall of the Sui Dynasty is tall and strong, difficult to overcome, and once the war reaches a stalemate, or there are contingent losses, the Great Khan will be unable to control the entire Turks. Opponents must have tried every means to get in touch with the Sui Dynasty and overthrow the Great Khan. ”

"The strategy of Xian'an is more stable and beneficial, because the current tribes are plagued, and the only way for them to survive is to kill the neighboring tribes. When the time comes, the Great Khan only needs to take the whip of righteousness and execute the tribal leaders and their heirs who started the civil war, and then annex his tribe, thus increasing the strength of the Great Khan, and the Great Khan will be grateful to the bullied tribes, who have already lost their survival materials, and are afraid of being looted by others again, so they have no choice but to serve the Great Khan. Once integrated, they can only obey all the arrangements of the Great Khan, as long as the Great Khan is strong, who will dare to oppose it in the future? Even if there was opposition, the Great Khan could just find an excuse to attack. In the long run, the entire Turkic tribe will be a great khan. No matter how the order was issued, no one dared to object. ”

"The civil strife in the Central Plains cannot be unified without dozens or hundreds of years, and when the Great Khan integrates the Turks, the Central Plains has fallen into the extreme of exhaustion, and a war can be decided." Although Zhao Deyan is a literati, his evil spirit is extremely serious.

Jieli looked up to the sky and laughed: "What Mr. Zhao said is very reasonable, so let's do it." ”

Zhao Deyan smiled but did not speak.

Jieli Khan said respectfully: "Thank you, Mr. for setting such a big plan for me, I dare not forget it for a moment." I got help from my husband when I was the most depressed and difficult, just like Liu Bei got Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms, you are my Zhuge Liang. The day of success is the day when Mr. became the prime minister of the Turkic Khanate! ”

"Xie Khan is very loving, and he swears to die with his life!"

"Good, good, good! Let's work together to build a great Turkic empire. ”

Zhao Deyan said very excitedly: "Do your best in the next bow, and then die!" ”

The happy Jieli didn't notice the weird smile on the corner of Zhao Deyan's mouth who bent down.
