Chapter 433: The Turkic "National Teacher"
In the study, Li Xiu put his right hand on the table and tapped gently, his eyes looked at the middle-aged man in front of him from time to time, this middle-aged man was the "madman" before, but compared to before, now he has been combed clean, and his gray hair is simply combed into a bun, revealing a face full of vicissitudes, only the two eyes are bright, revealing a resolute color.

"Knock knock~" The two people in the room didn't speak, only the tapping sound of Li Xiu's fingers and the tabletop seemed hollow and a little oppressive, and after a while, I saw Li Xiu stop and say, "Your name is really Zhao Deyan?" ”
"Yes, this name Zhao has been used for most of his life, does the horse know another Zhao Deyan?" The middle-aged man tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, he really couldn't understand why this famous colt was so interested in his name, when he had just identified himself, the other party had asked no less than three times, but he didn't expect to ask again now.
"This ......" Li Xiu didn't know how to answer at this time, because he knew what the name Zhao Deyan meant.
Maybe for many people, the name Zhao Deyan seems very unfamiliar, but coincidentally, when Li Xiu used to go to school, he liked a martial arts novel very much, that is, Huang Yi's "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", and he also remembered the characters in it very clearly, and most of these characters were real in history, such as Li Shimin, Du Fuwei, Yang Guang and so on.
The name Zhao Deyan also appears in the biography of the Tang Dynasty Shuanglong, and his identity in the book is a Turkic national teacher, and in real history, although he is not a Turkic national teacher, but it is almost the same, in fact, although this Zhao Deyan is a Han Chinese, but he is deeply trusted by Jieli Khan, and it is Zhao Deyan, a Han man, that allowed Li Shimin to find an opportunity to destroy the Turks in one fell swoop.
The Turks are different from the Tang Dynasty, in fact, as a steppe empire, the rule within the Turks is actually quite scattered, for example, the Turkic country is divided into ten, each of which is equivalent to a vassal state, although the Great Khan controls one or several vassal states, but the other vassal states have great independence, and may not even listen to the orders of the Great Khan, such as Jieli's nephew Tuli is the best example.
And the reason why Zhao Deyan was able to create an opportunity for Li Shimin to destroy the Turks was that he didn't know whether he intended or not, and he actually persuaded Jieli to learn from the Tang Dynasty and wanted to establish the Turks into a big empire like the Tang Dynasty, where the emperor held all the power, so that he naturally wanted to take away the power in the hands of the little khans in the Turkic country.
Originally, if Jieli could succeed, he could indeed greatly increase the strength of the Turks, but unfortunately he had a low eye, and in the end not only failed to succeed, but instead engaged in internal chaos in the Turks, coupled with the influence of external and natural disasters, Li Shimin destroyed the Turks in one fell swoop, and Jieli also became a prisoner of the Tang Dynasty.
Thinking of Zhao Deyan's "great achievements" in history, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel a little emotional, whether Zhao Deyan was intentional or unintentional, he made indelible contributions to the Tang Dynasty's destruction of the Turks, but what he can't understand now is how this Zhao Deyan suddenly appeared at the door of his house, and he knelt down like a madman, until he saw himself, he said that there was something related to the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty to discuss with him.
Originally, a beggar-like person actually came to Li Xiu and said that he wanted to discuss a matter related to the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty, which seemed to others that this beggar must be a madman, but Li Xiu didn't dare to think so, because this person's name was Zhao Deyan, judging from the original history, this person did have the strength to affect the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty, but he didn't expect the other party to be so miserable now, if he came out a little late, maybe Zhao Deyan would have to die outside.
"You just said that there is a matter related to the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty that you want to discuss with me, what is it?" Li Xiu pondered for a while, and finally raised his head and stared at Zhao Deyan in front of him.
"Exterminate the Turks!" Zhao Deyan said with a calm face, but when he said the word 'Turkic', a monstrous anger shot out of his eyes.
"Sure enough." Li Xiu couldn't help but say secretly in his heart when he saw this, just now he had vaguely guessed that this Zhao Deyan's so-called major event should be related to the Turks, and now his guess was finally confirmed.
"Exterminate the Turks? Even Your Majesty doesn't dare to say this sentence, what kind of ability do you dare to say this sentence with just a cloth cloth? Although Li Xiu knew that this Zhao Deyan was powerful in history, he still deliberately asked with a straight face, after all, it is really difficult to convince others just by the other party's words.
"Qi Yu horse, Zhao has no other skills, but he has read the book of sages since he was a child, but unfortunately he was later taken captive by the Turks to the grassland, and struggled for more than ten years before escaping back, and the whole family died on the grassland, and the Turks have a common hatred!"
When Zhao Deyan said to the end, the bitter hatred on his face was almost no longer hidden, and in front of his eyes, it seemed that he saw his elderly parents killed by cruel people, and his wife and children were slaves and maids, he also suffered humiliation, struggling to live on the grassland, countless times were near death, but unfortunately his family members died on the grassland one by one, he finally decided to survive after experiencing countless despair, and the only belief that supported him to survive was revenge!
Li Xiu was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhao Deyan's answer, and then fell silent, although Zhao Deyan did not say what their family experienced after being taken captive, but he could also imagine that every time the Turkic people in the south, in addition to robbing grain, the second is to plunder the population, these people were caught in the grassland and became slaves directly, and their status was not as good as that of pigs and dogs, every time he thought about this, Li Xiu would feel an incomparable anger, let alone experience these misery like Zhao Deyan.
"I see, but hatred doesn't allow you to destroy the Turks, and sometimes hatred can even destroy you, let alone destroy the Turks!" Li Xiu said indifferently again at this time, he wanted to see what kind of ability this Zhao Deyan had?
"What the horse said is right, hatred really can't help me avenge, but thanks to those Turks, they let me struggle on the steppe for more than ten years, so that I have a clear understanding of all aspects of the situation in the Turkic country, and my Tang Dynasty's national strength is getting stronger and stronger, especially the last time His Majesty defeated Jieli, which made the Turkic domestic forces more divided, as long as someone pushes again, the entire Turkic may even fall at any time!" Zhao Deyan raised his head suddenly at this time, and stared at Li Xiudao with blazing eyes again.
"Oh? So how do you want to push this one? Li Xiu looked at Zhao Deyan with interest and asked. (To be continued.) )
