Chapter 718: Who Borrowed a Knife to Kill...

After repeated analysis and deduction, the three of them, Ashina Du, Jiabitler Ashina Simo, and Lai Lifa Shi Shu Huxi, finally boiled down the current complex situation to several key issues. www.biquge.info*/

How likely is it that the King of Qi will go north to the border? If the king of Qi went north to the border, it means that China and Turkey have made a new adjustment in the relationship between the north and the south, so will the impact of this adjustment on the desert be positive or negative? If it is a negative and negative impact, the relationship between the North and the South is deteriorating day by day, and the Civil War is getting closer and closer, then how should the southeast Yaqi respond? What about dental tents?

How to deal with the tooth tent is not within the scope of the three of them, what they have to do now is to report it quickly, and truthfully report the recent sharp changes in the situation in the border area of Youyan in China and the important impact that these changes may have on the relations between the north and the south, but because the means of obtaining information are limited and the transmission is very inconvenient, they are not able to accurately grasp the changes in the situation in the border area of Youyan for the time being, there are too many uncertain factors to make accurate judgments, and the things that are only guessed and deduced cannot be reported, so as not to mislead the tooth tent to make wrong decisions.

As the commander of the Tooth Banner in the southeast of the moraine, he naturally gave priority to the Tooth Banner and personal interests, so the decision he came up with was to take into account the reality of the visible crisis, immediately recruit the armies of all kinds of tribes to stand by, and send a part of the men and horses to the south quickly, in the name of killing the horse thieves, quickly approaching Huaihuang, so as to deter Middle-earth, exert heavy pressure on the defenders of the Great Wall of Middle-earth, and ensure that the Youyan crisis will not spread beyond the Great Wall to the desert, so as to endanger the safety of the southeast of the moraine.

Jia Bitler Ashina Simo immediately objected, thinking that Ashina was too nervous, and he made a stupid move in a panic.

The tooth banner conscripts the army of all kinds of tribes, and approaches the Huaihuang to form a threat to the Great Wall, which is obviously a provocation, is to take advantage of the fire to rob, fall into the well, and will inevitably deteriorate the relationship between the north and the south, but at this moment, the emperor and power center of Middle-earth are in the Linshuo Palace in Youzhou, and the eastern expeditionary army of Middle-earth is also withdrawing to Youzhou one after another, so the provocation and speculation of the tooth banner is very unwise, and it will inevitably anger the emperor of Middle-earth, and will be violently retaliated by Middle-earth, although the two sides will not tear their faces because of this, and conflicts will not break out because of this, However, if Middle-earth finds an excuse to reduce or even cut off the north-south exchange, the loss of the desert will be great.

Ashina Simo's strong opposition made Ashina very dissatisfied, but Ashina Simo was not only his cousin, but also a famous person in the desert, and he was also powerful and respected in the tooth tent.

Ashina Simo is a legend in the desert. East of the year. When the Turkic Khanate fell into division and civil strife, Ashnasimo was elected as a khan by a group of Turkic princes, and held the northern tent until the Qimin Khan was recognized by Middle-earth and helped him return to the desert. After Shibi Khan came to power, he was very jealous of his cousin, and did not dare to grant him military power, and also restricted his travel between the north and the south, so as not to affect the decision-making of the tooth tent with the help of the power of Middle-earth, so Ashinasmo has a tendency to be hollowed out, but Ashinasmo is a very prestigious pro-China Turkish, and now peace between the north and the south is still the common goal pursued by the north and the south, so at the critical moment, Ashinasmo can still play a vital and irreplaceable role.

Ashnashimo's suggestion is that before the situation in Middle-earth is not clear, and before the impact of the change in the situation on North-South relations is uncertain, we should remain calm, wait and see what happens, do not panic, do not be blindly impulsive, and still less make dangerous moves to "provoke" Middle-earth in order to endanger the normal relations between the North and the South, so as not to end up shooting ourselves in the foot and bringing disaster upon ourselves.

Ashinasmo's reason is that the current general trend between China and foreign countries is favorable to the desert, and the tooth tent has taken the initiative in the relations between the north and the south. The reason is very simple, the Middle Earth lost the Eastern Expedition for two consecutive years, suffered a heavy setback, the Middle Earth Emperor and his supporters have fallen into a deep crisis in the political and military aspects, the Emperor of Middle Earth's most trusted minister Yang Xuangan raised troops to rebel is a clear example, this shows that the "internal troubles" in China and the Western Turks swept the Western Regions and the Tuyuhun people restored the country caused by the crisis in the Western Xinjiang is a serious "external trouble". At this moment, when the "internal and external troubles" of China and Turkey have erupted together, the abdomen and back are under the enemy's back, anxious, and self-care, where is the time, energy, and reason to undermine the relations between the North and the South and launch a civil war? On the contrary, at this moment, in order to gain time to solve the "internal and external troubles," China and Turkey not only do not dare to deteriorate the relations between the North and the South, but will use greater compromises to maintain the stability of the relations between the North and the South.

Ashina Simo's suggestion was supported by Li Fa Shi Shu Hu Xi.

The position of the tooth tent is equivalent to the left and right Guanglu doctors in Middle Earth, and he is a second grade with a very high rank. Of course, high rank does not mean great power, and only participation in central decision-making can be truly called weight. Shi Shu Huxi was in the tooth tent, won the trust and respect of Shibi Khan, participated in central decision-making, and had great power, but his status was limited, because he was from a humble background and his noble rank was not high.

Shi Shu Huxi is not a Turkic, but a Lite. The Lite people live in the Wuhushui (Amu Darya) basin west of the Green Mountains, with nine surnames such as Shi, Mi, Kang, Cao, He, and An, also known as the nine surnames of Zhaowu, and make a living from merchants, and are the largest merchant ethnic group on the Silk Road. After the Turks took control of the eastern and western foothills of the Green Mountains, the nine surnames of Zhaowu surrendered, supported the development and growth of the Turks with the income from business, and used their wisdom to make suggestions for the Turks, and consolidated and strengthened the position of the nine surnames in the Turkic Khanate with small-scale marriages, thus gradually becoming part of the ruling class of the nobility of the Turkic Khanate.

Ashnasimo had Rite blood, which directly affected his position in the Turkic royal family. When Qimin Khan returned to the desert with the help of Middle-earth, Ashnasimo took the initiative to hand over power, and his impure blood was also one of the main reasons. However, there are pros and cons in everything, and because of the bloodline, Ashnasimo was discriminated against and attacked among the Turkic royal family, but among the nobles of the Tent, he won respect and support, and as a result, he was a blessing in disguise, whether it was during the civil strife when he was elected Khan, or during the period of Qimin Khan and Shibi Khan, he did not dare to suppress him excessively, all because he had the powerful Lite people behind him.

Since the reign of Shibi Khan, the radicals in the tooth tent have risen rapidly, and the Lits have been a major force in them. Businessmen pursue profits, especially giants like Zhaowu Jiu, the pursuit of interests is the foundation of survival, so how can they win huge profits? Of course, it is war, only war can make the giants make war money, and the effective combination of wealth and power can make the Lits have a greater right to speak in the tooth tent, and the increase in the right to speak means the increase in power and wealth, so under the virtuous circle, in a certain period, the Lits may become half of the masters of the Turkic Khanate.

As a heavyweight of the conservative tent, Ashinasmo of course wants to use his prestige to persuade and win over some Lits in order to increase the power of the conservatives, and this is indeed the case, after all, not all Lits are giants, and they have entered the aristocratic ruling class of the Turkic Khanate, and most of the Lits are still humble "second-class citizens", all struggling for survival, and they all hope to have a peaceful and stable business environment.

As a result, Ashina Simo, who has a conservative political stance and adheres to the peace between the north and the south, and Shi Shu Huxi, who has a radical political stance and wants to do a great cause, have naturally become political opponents,-for-tat with each other, fighting openly and secretly, and the contradictions are fierce.

However, this time it was beyond Ashina Simo's expectations, and Shi Shu Huxi not only did not oppose his proposal, but also supported it, which is strange.

Ashina Simo was shocked, hesitated for a moment, and still asked bluntly, "Do you also think that the rumors that the King of Qi went north to the border are very credible?" ”

Shi Shu Huxi nodded solemnly, "The current situation is unfavorable to Middle-earth, internal and external troubles, and a stable north-south relationship is urgently needed, and if Middle-earth wants to achieve this goal, it must pay a price, but Middle-earth obviously does not want to pay this price, and does not want to be robbed by us, so it will inevitably become a reality for the King of Qi to go north to the border." ”

Ashina Simo bowed slightly, "Middle-earth has made a very good move, replacing defense with offense, turning passivity into initiative, but we have lost a great opportunity and are helpless. ”

Ashina frowned, glanced at Shi Shu Huxi, shook his head, and sighed, "If Zhongtu puts their future prince in Yanbei, it will be too much of a deterrent to us, and there is nothing to be done." ”

"The importance of the prince can be imagined, so this is a delaying tactic after all, and there is nothing to worry about." Shi Shu Huxi shook his hand and said, "I'm not worried about King Qi, but the white-haired thief who has just entered Yanbei, and the white-haired thief is the biggest threat to us." ”

Ashina Simo and Ashina looked at each other aggressively, and there was a trace of disapproval in their eyes, just a group of traitors, how powerful is it? How much of a threat can it pose? Even if they have the support of the King of Qi behind them, and even the officials are secretly giving support, "feeding and drinking" them, and then driving them out of the Great Wall to "drive the tiger and devour the wolf", but after all, it is just a rabble, a group of earth dogs, and they are vulnerable.

"I see arrogance in your eyes." Shi Shu Huxi said unceremoniously, "Our opponent is very strong, and if we underestimate our opponent, there is only one consequence." ”

As soon as these words came out, Ashina Simo and Ashina suddenly became cautious, carefully "recalling" Shi Shu Huxi's warning, and this "aftertaste" immediately found an abnormality.

"The key is not to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, but to kill people with a knife." Shi Shu Huxi paused for a moment and continued, "Whose sword is Middle-earth going to borrow?" Did you borrow our sword to kill the white-haired thief? The people of Middle-earth have always been cunning, and if we guess so, we will be fooled. ”

Hearing this, Ashina Simo and Ashina couldn't help but look at each other, if the "knife" that Middle-earth wants to borrow is not us, then who is it? Who is the "knife" that borrows a knife to kill people? Who is going to kill?
