Dingxiang Palace, the main hall!

"Someone! Mr. Zhao is invited to come to the meeting. "The Jieli Khan, who has a strong smell, sits on the throne of the king, and I don't know who he gave the order to.

After a while, a person hurriedly stepped into the hall. This person is wearing a purple robe, wearing a Zhuge scarf and holding a feather fan, his surname is Zhao Mingdeyan.

Zhao Deyan has read poetry and books since he was a child, and he has a very high promise and great ambitions. He lived in seclusion in the wilderness, hoping to be favored by the Lord like Jiang Taigong and Zhuge Liang and leave a good story. But after waiting for half his life, no one cared, and in a fit of rage, he went north to the Turks.

Jieli's greatest ambition is to build a steppe empire, like the empire of the Central Plains, where its own culture can be passed down from generation to generation.

Zhao Deyan is knowledgeable and good at figuring out the hearts of the superiors, and he is deeply valued as a figure like Zhuge Liang and used as his right-hand man.

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

Zhao Deyan shook the feather fan lightly and said incomprehensibly: "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 still invincible, his strength is still above the sum of Tuli and Tieler, but the internal problems have come out, and if the prestige of the Great Khan is damaged again, it will not be just Tuli and Tieler. Yang Guang's expedition to Goguryeo lost his troops and generals, and Yang Xuangan's uprising made Sui Yang no longer have the power to deter the world, so that the huge empire II died. Today's Tuli, how similar is it to Yang Xuangan? ”

Jieli Khan fell into deep thought.

Jieli is not afraid of others, but this Tuli is his confidant: as the eldest son of the previous Turkic Khan, Tuli's strength is second only to him, and he is very prestigious in the steppe. The two of them are at odds. Since Tuli became self-reliant, the two have fought several big battles, each of which has won or lost, although both sides try to refrain as much as possible, but everyone knows that the two sides are accumulating strength for the decisive battle.

Now Jieli was defeated by Tiele first, his prestige is not as good as before, the foundation has been shaken, and in the war with Tuli, he has not been comprehensively suppressed, so that his prestige for dominating the world has been repeatedly damaged, some wall grass has been eager to defect to Tuli, and those neutrals who are ready to move are swaying left and right, if these people join the Tuli camp, then Jieli's situation is even worse.

At that time, if Tuli and the Tang Dynasty and Tiele form an alliance to help each other, and the three parties advance and retreat together, then he will be more auspicious.

"There are four reasons for the Turkic dilemma!"

Zhao Deyan gushed endlessly: "First, there are many princes, with different thoughts, and different military and political policies, which will delay the fighter; Second, climate changes have led to frequent disasters. Third, the law, a unified and complete law is the basis of law enforcement, and without the law, it often does not ask about right or wrong when dealing with internal affairs. Fourth, the territory is vast, and the government decree is not in force. ”

Regardless of the enemy, Zhao Deyan's four factors directly point to the internal deficiencies of the Turks.

First: There are many princes with different thoughts.

This is a fact, a Turkic tribe is a separate state, only when going out to war, will obey the orders of the Great Khan, but when the Great Khan is weak, the various departments are passive and slack, and many fleeting warplanes are missed.

Second, climate changes have led to frequent disasters.

It is also a fact that in recent years, disasters have caused some tribes that cannot survive to take risks in order to survive, and attack the surrounding tribes, so that the Turks can defend their neighbors more than the enemy.

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 will certainly favor their relatives and friends, and in the long run, everyone will be dissatisfied and complain.

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

The Turkic generations of nomadic herders have no fixed place, except for a few fixed grasslands with abundant water and grass, long-term wandering, and even the Turkic Great Khan does not know the specific location of some tribes, these tribes are also unknown whether they are alive or dead, but once they disappear inexplicably, other tribes will accuse, saying that he is not a good Great Khan, and the whole 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 has four points, the facts are there, and he points directly to the Turkic core!

There are some people in history who can do a lot of vigorous things with one mouth.

Zhao Deyan is relying on a mouth at this moment, saying that the dead are alive, counting the instability within the Turks, and what he said is very reasonable, and the facts are there.

More importantly, he scratched the itch of Jieli Khan, whose greatest ambition was to establish a steppe empire, like the empire in the Central Plains, which could be passed down from generation to generation. Rather than a tribal alliance that relies on interests to sustain it.

Dingxiang is the largest city on the steppe and has always been the center of gravity of Turkic development. In recent years, Jieli even had the idea of occupying Dingxiang as the capital and establishing a Turkic khanate. It was only resisted and had to give up. However, at the suggestion of Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty, Jieli established Yang Zhengdao, the grandson of Yang Guang who was rescued from the Sui Dynasty, as the emperor, set the capital of Dingxiang, developed Dingxiang, and arranged many Turkic people and plundered Han people to live in Dingxiang City. And he set up a tooth tent near Dingxiang to control Dingxiang.

Although the dream of founding the country was stillborn, Jieli never gave up this idea, and now after being reminded by Zhao Deyan, Jieli Khan suddenly found that as long as these four problems are solved, then, his dream of a great country is no longer a dream.

Jieli Khan's thoughts were greatly moved, and he looked up to the sky and laughed: "What Sir said is that as long as these four major problems are solved, this Turkic Khanate will no longer be a dream. Only, sir, what should I do to twist the Turks into a monolith. ”

"It depends on how determined the Great Khan is." Zhao Deyan groaned: "Li Tang and the Turks are mortal enemies of life and death, and this grievance will only end when one side falls." The rise of Li Tang is an unstoppable thing, a Central Plains Dynasty with a unified world and one heart is very frightening, the Xiongnu of the Han Dynasty is a powerful unified country, but in the end, it is still a lesson for the weak Han Dynasty to grind life and death, a lesson from the past, a teacher from the future, and the Great Khan should learn from it! In view of the current predicament, I think that the Great Khan has two paths to choose. ”

Jieli Khan asked urgently: "Which two choices?" ”

Zhao Deyan said: "First, raise all the Turkic forces to fight Li Tang again, and win, the prestige of the Great Khan will be in full swing, and there will be no disobedience to the order, 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 once again be divided into countless small Turkic states; Second, first settle down, and then raise a division with one heart and one heart to fight Li Tang to the death. ”

"Of the two options: the former is too risky to be no less than a shocking gamble; Until the winner is decided, the benefits outweigh the harms. There are still more than 500,000 elite soldiers in the line of the Great Khan, and it is a well-deserved great force of the Turks, and the other ministries are intimidated by the power and righteousness of the Great Khan, and they naturally dare not obey the Khan's orders. In this way, the Great Khan can use Li Tang's hand to weaken the strength of the rival tribe without losing himself, and at the same time, he can destroy Li Tang's established national policy of recuperation and recuperation, so as to achieve the result of killing two birds with one stone. ”

The latter changed the target of the conquest to Tieler! Tiele is an external force, and a Turkic feud, and now the following committed rebellious things, the Great Khan waved his army to conquer the various departments have no objection, this foreign war, if the Turks raise troops to attack, it is the traitor of the entire Turkic nation, and will eventually lose the hearts of the people, with the wisdom of the Turks, will not be stupid enough to drag the Khan queen back in the national war. At that time, the Great Khan only needs to promise whoever kills Tiele, everything in Tiele belongs to whom, Tiele's wealth has long been jealous of the ministries, and now there is the righteousness of the Great Khan, and the ministries still don't try their best to crusade? And this time, the main battle force is held by those wavering neutral tribes. ”

"Li Tang is poor and unable to make ends meet! Without five years of accumulation, its domestic economy could not support a big war. If Li Tang sent troops, the Great Khan only needed to avoid its edge, introduce it into the vast grassland, and then destroy its grain routes, Li Tang would eventually collapse without a fight, and then the Great Khan only needed to send a small number of cavalry to completely annihilate the invading enemy. When Li Tang recovered, the Turks were already a Turkic khanate with military and political integration, so what was there to fear in the face of Li Tang? ”

Jieli Khan only heard the red light and blood boiling, and laughed: "Sir is extraordinary. ”

Zhao Deyan smiled but did not speak.

Jieli Khan said respectfully: "Thank you, sir, for setting such a great plan for me, I dare not forget it for a moment." I got Mr. when I was the most depressed and difficult, just like when Liu Bei got Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms, you are my Zhuge Liang. ”

"The Great Khan is overrated!" Zhao Deyan returned a salute, and then said in a deep voice: "In the past, when Tuli was in charge of the Dongfang Khitan, Yao, Xi, Xia, Murwei and other tribes, he was tyrannical and violent against them, and the various tribes rebelled because of hatred. The hatred between the two sides is deep, and the Great Khan might as well send envoys to the various ministries of the Eastern Union with great fanfare, saying that the stakes are at stake, and it doesn't matter if they can form an alliance or not, as long as they let Tuli have this kind of thing. When the Great Khan turned to Tiele, the worried Tuli would inevitably go eastward, and the strength of each department was weak, but if it was even a unit, there were 200,000 troops, and Tuli would completely annihilate all the troops and also suffer heavy losses. ”

"A good move to drive away the wolf, a good trick to kill people with a knife." Jieli Khan's spirit was shocked, and he promised with great ambition: "The day of success is the day when Mr. becomes 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 empire. ”

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