Wei Zheng's brows widened, and he said with a smile: "I see, the lord seems to have made up his mind a long time ago, and his subordinates are convinced, so in your opinion, how will the Turks behave in the troubled times in the future?" ”

Wang Shichong pondered for a while, and said: "In terms of military strength, the army of the Central Plains and the Turkic army have their own strengths, if it is in the vast grassland, the Turkic cavalry comes and goes without a trace, it is advantageous, even if it can't be defeated in the south of the desert, it can also retreat to the north of Yinshan and lengthen the supply of the Han army, so it is difficult for the Han army to chase out of the desert and sweep the cave in Liting." Now the Sui Dynasty has a strong army, but the elite cavalry is only more than 200,000, if the world is in turmoil, it is a miracle that each separatist force has 350,000 cavalry, and it is impossible to consider competing with the Turks in the desert. ”

"But on the other hand, the Turks are good at cavalry and archery, but short of siege cities, and in the past, when they were at their peak, it was difficult to capture even the border passes like Yanmen, Daijun and Mayi, and in the troubled times, production was destroyed, and food supplies would only be stored in the fortified cities, and they would gain nothing even if they plundered the countryside, and finally had to retreat. If I were a Turk, the most feasible way would be to support multiple forces in the north at the same time, let them fight against each other, and I could take the opportunity to extort all kinds of money and food from them, strengthen my own strength, speed up the consolidation of my steppe supremacy, eliminate those disobedient hostile tribes, and wait until I really have absolute hegemony in the steppe, and then decide whether to go south or stick to the steppe according to the situation. ”

Wei Zheng nodded: "If the lord raises troops in the future, will he cooperate with the Turks?" ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "No." As a last resort. I don't want to be a lackey of an alien race. What the Turks can give is nothing more than tens of thousands of cavalry, and now that we have our own source of horses in Tuyuhun, we can find a way to form our own cavalry troops before the troubled times come, and we don't necessarily need the help of the Turks. Of course, it would be best if the Turks could contain the possible future hegemony of Guanlong. ”

Wei Zheng said with a smile: "By the way, you let Li Jing go to the Snow Mountain Party Xiang Qiang to connect with the Fulian Khan." Do you also want to contact the Tubo people this time? ”

Wang Shichong put away his smile and said with a straight face: "After this court meeting, that Prince Murong Shun will be escorted back to be a khan, and we must start in advance and kill Niluo Zhou in order to win the trust of Nafulian Khan." And I have a hunch that the Tibetan people will be a big variable in the troubled world in the future. In any case, it's not a bad thing to have some kind of connection with them now, to make friends. The whole of the Great Sui. Now the ambitious magnates have their eyes on the Turks, but it seems to me. The emerging Tibetans are likely to surpass the Turks and become the most powerful opponent of our Central Plains Dynasty at that time. ”

Tuyuhun, Fu Qi City.

The summer on the plateau is much hotter than in the Central Plains, and in the late winter four months ago, there was still a white snow-capped mountain top, which has melted most of it now, leaving only the peak of a place with white flowers. The originally lush prairie behind the city had been gnawed like a bald head, and the gray-black soil was exposed everywhere, and there were not many seedlings left.

Niluo Zhou stood side by side with Li Jing, who was dressed as a Sogdian merchant, looking at the grassland that had been gnawed away, and sighed in Chinese: "In this battle to defend the city, there are too many people, cattle and sheep who have come to take refuge. ”

Li Jing smiled slightly and said, "King Dabao is still worried about the problem of this green grass seedling? I think you should worry more about Prince Murong Shun than about this matter. ”

Niluo Zhou's face changed: "Li Xingshou (Li Jing still appeared as the head of Wang Shichong's business group this time, and did not show his official status in the Sui Dynasty, Niluo Zhou is not too familiar with the situation of the Central Plains Great Sui, and he doesn't know that Li Jing is a middle- and low-level official), is there any new news?" ”

Last time, Murong Shun had already brought Yang Guang over and was ready to be canonized as Khan, but Niluo Zhou deduced that his subordinates had just been annexed, and the whereabouts of Fulian Khan were unknown. In addition, Yang Guang himself also needed to take Murong Shun to Guzang City and Dongdu, so that he could also join Chaohe's queue, so the matter was temporarily delayed. Since the end of the attack and defense of Yiwu City, Li Jing quickly left the army and secretly entered Fuqi City, as Wang Shichong's eyeliner here, responsible for the affairs of Tuyuhun and Tubo in the future.

Li Jing nodded: "The news that just came a few days ago said that the New Year's pilgrimage in the eastern capital has ended, and according to the agreement, the Sui Emperor will send three thousand cavalry to escort Prince Murong Shun to the throne in Fuqicheng, and calculate the time, it will be about a month and a half later." How is it, King Dabao, have you pacified the ministries and prepared to hold the enthronement ceremony of the new Khan? ”

Nilo Zhou shook his head: "I don't have the authority to convene the lords of the ministries, only Volian Khan has this power, I want to report this matter to the Great Khan, and he will decide." ”

Li Jing smiled slightly: "Does the Great Treasure King know where to find the Great Khan of Fulian?" ”

Niluo Zhou was slightly stunned: "Isn't it at the Dangxiang Qiang people in the Snow Mountain?" ”

Li Jing smiled and took out the Tubo token from his arms: "Can the Great Treasure King recognize this thing?" ”

Niluo Zhou took the token in his hand, and his face changed greatly: "This, isn't this the token of Tubo?" ”

Li Jing smiled and took back the token and put it back in his arms: "King Dabao really knows the goods, now you should know where the Great Khan went." ”

Nilo Zhou was silent for a long time before sighing: "Actually, I have always suspected that the Great Khan will not defect to the Dangxiang Qiang people, they did not defeat the Sui army and help the Great Khan restore the country, but the Tubo people are ............" Speaking of this, Niluo Zhou stopped talking.

Li Jing nodded: "The Tubo people are fierce lions on the snowy plateau, once they take this opportunity to enter Tuyuhun, it will be difficult to drive them away in the future, right?" ”

Nilo Zhou gritted his teeth: "Now that the snowy plateau and the two countries of Subi and Zhangxiong have not surrendered to Tibet, they are not able to enter this Hehuang Plateau for the time being, and the Great Khan chose to find them at this time, which should be the best choice." Li Xingshou, it seems that I need your help to get in touch with the Great Khan. ”

A strange smile floated across Li Jing's face: "King Dabao, you're welcome, that's why my lord-in-law arranged for me to be here, please arrange for someone to go to Tubo, and I'll go on the road with him." (To be continued......)
