The first thing Fu Nian looked at after he came in was Xue Shao, and his gaze stayed on him for a moment before turning to Pei Xingjian's body.

"The famous Pei Wenxi, Pei Gong, I have admired it for a long time!" Fu Nian spoke a very fluent and standard Chinese, bent down with his hand on his chest, and saluted Pei Xingjian.

Having traveled nearly a thousand miles all the way, this was the first time Xue Shao had heard Fu Nian speak Chinese. If people don't look at him and just listen to him, they must think that he is an authentic Tang person, or the accent of Guannai Liangjing.

"You may be seated." Pei Xingjian didn't say much, a sergeant brought Fu Nian a marching horse, and Fu Nian sat down very calmly. The inconspicuous and unassuming face was as calm as water, as if there was no emotional fluctuation in the inner world.

"Fu Nian, if you don't do a good Tang Dynasty assassination, why do you want to rebel?" Pei Xingjian asked.

Fu Nian smiled indifferently and said: "Over the years, the Tang Dynasty has had many wars with Tubo, and the battles have been unfavorable repeatedly. In order to fight against the powerful plateau iron cavalry of the Tibetans, the Tang Dynasty constantly recruited cavalry in the grassland. I am a thorn in history, and I have been repeatedly ordered to recruit young and strong soldiers among the tribes of the grassland. Most of these people have never returned, and the grassland people are full of complaints. In addition, some corrupt officials deducted food and salaries and pensions for the martyrs, which made the grassland tribes very dissatisfied with the Tang Dynasty. When I was a stab, I asked myself that I had always done my duty. But I can't forget that I am also a steppe Turk, a descendant of the Khan of the Ashina family, a chieftain and chief of the steppe people who have lost their husbands and sons. I can no longer violate my conscience and continue to help the Tang Dynasty persecute my compatriots and people. Therefore, I raised the banner of righteousness and led my people to declare independence from the oppressive rule of the Tang Dynasty! ”

Xue Shao's eyes couldn't help but light up, he didn't expect this Turkic man who didn't say a word on the road for thousands of miles and didn't look good, so talkative! Moreover, he is definitely not a reckless rebel who started purely on ambition and violence, he is very knowledgeable and very urban. His words still carry a lot of weight, and they undoubtedly give a justified reason for the Turkic rebellion. He knew that he couldn't say anything about Pei Xingjian in law and righteousness, so he excused himself and reversed the situation from the perspective of morality and conscience.

Just a few words, showing the demeanor of a master!

Pei Xingjian smiled faintly and said, "Fu Nian, I actually knew your name for a long time. Previously, Ashina Nishu and Ashdwin Fu instigated a rebellion in the twenty-four states under the rule of the Metropolitan Governor's Palace, and invited you to participate in it. But you refused. But for what, after the failure of the mud ripening, you took the initiative to start an accident again? ”

Fu Nian said calmly: "At that time, Ni Shuqian and Wen Fu conspired to raise an army against the Tang Dynasty, it was not that I didn't want to participate, but I thought they were too anxious and too hasty. I advised them to wait another two or three years until the real time came. But they don't listen and are in a hurry. I thought they would fail, so I rejected them. ”

Pei Xingjian frowned, "What are you waiting for?" ”

Fu Nian smiled slightly, "Pei Gong knows much better than me in his heart, so why ask?" ”

As soon as Fu Nian said this, Xue Shao's heart also woke up!

It's not easy to think about this person!

He said that he would wait for two or three years until the real "opportunity", which means - wait for Emperor Li Zhi to die!

Li Zhi has been recuperating in the harem due to poor health, living in a simple house for a long time, and entrusting Empress Wu to weigh the system. On the surface, Datang is very calm now, and Empress Wu and a group of prime ministers and ministers have governed Datang quite well. If there is a major military event, Li Zhi can also come out to make a decision.

But the crisis has been hidden, that is, once Li Zhi dies, there will be a vacuum in the supreme imperial power, even if the current crown prince Li Xian can successfully inherit the unification, he will not be able to suppress his strong mother and Pei Yan, a group of ministers who are in charge of real power.

In other words, if Li Zhi lives for a day, the central court of the Tang Dynasty will be quiet for a day; Once he died, the struggle for supreme power would inevitably cause turmoil in the Tang Dynasty. If the court is turbulent, the Tang Dynasty will be restless, and the pressure on the subject country will be weakened - for the Turks, it is their best opportunity to come!

Of course, Pei Xingjian's heart was also very clear, but he was very indifferent and said: "Since you have persuaded you to wait for two or three years, why did you do it in a hurry?" ”

"I don't want to." Fu Nian shook his head and showed a wry smile, "But after the defeat of the mud cook, my grassland tribesmen were not discouraged, but strengthened their ambition to build an independent country. Every day, hundreds of people come to me and ask me to raise the banner of righteousness and lead them to the army. In addition, Wen Fu pulled up another group of men and horses to meet me, and all the tribes on the grassland were responding, and even my closest relatives were forcing me to do it as soon as possible. It's hard to offend the will of the people, and I can't suppress all the clansmen at all! ”

Pei Xingjian nodded with his eyebrows furrowed, "Fu Nian, you have some talent, and your ambition is not small, you have more potential than Ni Shuqiu and Wen Fu." But whether it's the situation in front of you, or if you really wait until two or three years later to start an army, you will eventually fail. The Tang Empire is powerful all over the world, and your little opportunistic mind will not succeed after all! ”

"Pei Gong, you are wrong." Fu Nian smiled, patted his knees with both hands, and said: "When I was pushed to be a khan by everyone and forced to lead my troops in advance, I already expected that I would very likely follow in the footsteps of the mud and not die well. However, the independence of the Turks has become the trend of the times. Fu Nian is just the second forerunner after the mud ripe. Even if Fu Nian's head is sent to Chang'an like a familiar creeping, there will still be other heroes who will lead the Turks and continue to fight for our tribe's independence. The revival of the Turks is unstoppable. I dare to assert that in a few years, a brand-new Turkic Khanate will inevitably rise on the steppe - the Tang Dynasty, which cannot be stopped! ”

Xue Shao, I was shocked when I heard it!

Fu Nian's prophecy is really powerful. In this era of history, after the failure of Fu Nian's rebellion, the steppe tribes never stopped their wars against the Central Plains, and never stopped their steps to establish a huge steppe khanate. During that historical period, it happened to be the period when Li Zhi died and Wu Zetian changed the dynasty, and there was considerable turmoil within the Tang Dynasty. This gave the Turks a great opportunity to take advantage of.

As a result, a Turkic khanate, powerful enough to fight against the Tang Empire, really arose in the steppe. In the following decades, or even hundreds of years, the war and peace between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks almost became the main theme of this era!

Xue Shao couldn't help but take a deep look at the unsightly Fu Nian a few times, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, such a visionary, could it be that you are also a traverser?

Of course, Xue Shao knew in his heart that this was just an almost nonsensical guess of his own.

Every person who can leave a name in history must have his extraordinary.

If Fu Nian did not have such wisdom, foresight and the will of the high-level strategists, it would be impossible for him to be "forced" by countless steppe people to become a khan and lead them to rebel against the Tang Dynasty. Pei Xingjian, who has always been stingy with words, will not speak highly of his enemies as a "talented and ambitious hero".

After listening to Fu Nian's remarks about the long-term intentions, Pei Xingjian just smiled faintly and said: "Fu Nian, history is never something that a certain person can really foresee or completely decide. You and I are only small characters, and we should be in our own position to deal with our own problems - what do you think about the moment? ”

"How is Pei Gongyi?" Fu Nian remained silent and asked rhetorically.

"The old man is talking about soldiers, and he doesn't ask anything else." Pei Xingjian didn't beat around the bush and said: "I was ordered by His Majesty the Tang Dynasty to lead 300,000 Tang Dynasty kings to quell the rebellion. You call yourself a pseudo-Khan, and you have taken it upon yourself to raise troops to conquer prefectures and counties, kill and abuse officials and soldiers, and poison the people, which is a heinous crime. Now you only have two choices, one is that you and Wen Fu lead the people to surrender, remove the pseudo-khan's name, disband the army, and the important people will follow me to Chang'an to ask for guilt, and wait for the fate of our emperor; Second, the wave of the division came to fight me to the death, and saw the male and female on the battlefield! ”

"That's right, there are really only two ways to go." Fu Nian nodded and said, "If the Turks want to be independent, they must go through hard wars and all kinds of dangerous games. Although I know that the time is not yet ripe, and that the Turks still face great risks and difficulties in becoming independent, there is no turning back from the bow, and now I really do not have the confidence to convince my generals and compatriots to surrender. ”

"Okay, then fight!" Pei Xingjian didn't say a word, and waved his hand, "Fight until you are willing to sit down and negotiate!" ”

"Pei Gong is bold and arrogant, this is the Tang Dynasty military god in my mind!" Fu Nian stood up and bent down to Pei Xingjian as he had just come in.

Xue Shao squinted his eyes, although Fu Nian didn't shout the sentence "Hit it, fight whom, who is afraid of whom", but the humble posture in front of him was more shocking than shouting out that bold statement!

is indeed a hero, even if he is a prisoner of the ranks, he is still full of atmosphere!

At this time, Fu Nian also stroked Xue Shao's chest and bent down and saluted, "Cheng Lu Shuai, we have walked more than a thousand miles together, thank you for taking care of us!" ”

Xue Shao smiled slightly, clenched his fists and saluted back, "It should be." ”

Fu Nian smiled indifferently, stared at Xue Shao with a pair of eyes, and said, "Although I still don't know your exact identity, but from my observations along the way, it is speculated that you should not be as simple as an ordinary brigade commander. Excuse me, can you tell me who you really are? ”

Xue Shao smiled, "No matter what identity I had before, now, I am the guardian of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

"Good." Fu Nian nodded with a smile, "To be able to stand by Pei Gong's side and judge me together, you must not be an ordinary person." The Turks have always respected warriors the most, and I have always respected talents. You are really brave and very wise. If I have a few generals like you, I won't worry about big things! ”

Pei Xingjian smiled and said, "Fu Nian, don't think too much." When I defeat Wen Fu's men and horses to the point where they lose their armor and abandon their armor, I will come back to talk to you about the rest of the questions. As for him—"

Pei Xingjian pointed at Xue Shao and said, "I can tell you that his surname is Xue Mingshao, and he is the most important young general of the Tang Dynasty. Please remember the name. Because for decades to come, he will surely be a nightmare for all of you Turks! ”.
