Li Tao said to Kang Lu: "I invited you here this time because I want to discuss with you before I leave." ”

"Lantian King, please speak directly!"

"The first thing is about the Eastern Turks!" Li Tao stopped and stared at Kang Lu's expression.

The muscles on Kang Lu's face twitched slightly, but he didn't speak.

"The Eastern Turks are now in a confrontation with the Great Cannibals, and it won't be long before a war breaks out. If I am not mistaken, the Turks will be defeated, and I hope that when the time comes, you will spare them and let them return to Mobei. ”

"No, absolutely not!" Su Lihe said categorically.

Li Tao looked at Kang Lu again, and Kang Lu got up and said, "King Lantian, I regard you as a friend, and we all remember everything you have done for Tuqishi, but I can't agree to your request." ”

Li Tao said: "Kanglu, I can understand your feelings of avenging your father. If you are an ordinary person, I will not stop you from taking revenge, but don't forget, you are now the Khan of Turgish, and every decision you make determines the future of Turgish, even life and death, and you must not act rashly. ”

Kang Lu retorted: "It is natural for me to avenge my father Khan, and this is also the common wish of all the clansmen, is there anything wrong?" ”

Li Tao didn't quarrel with Kang Lu either, but asked softly: "Kang Lu, tell me the truth, the oath you made to your people on the day of the execution of the crossbow was the truth or did it be done to them?" ”

"Of course it's true!"

"So building a powerful Turgish is also your greatest wish?"

"Of course!"

"In that case, then you can't avenge your father for the time being!"

"Why?" Kang Lu said excitedly: "There is no contradiction between avenging my father Khan and establishing a powerful Turgish!" ”

Li Tao sighed and said, "The Turks are defeated by the Great Cannibals. It will not be wiped out by the whole army, with the current strength of the Turks, can they fight the Turks? Conroch. Your time in Datang is not short, you should know the truth of 'return to the teacher', if you force the Turks to rush and fight to the death, the final result will be a defeat for both sides. Turgish can't stand any toss at the moment, even if you avenge your father, but Turgish is greatly damaged. Can you afford to pay such a price? ”

The expression on Kang Lu's face was constantly changing, and Li Tao could see that there was a fierce struggle in his heart, and then said, "Now the cavalry of the Tuqi Shi has just begun to train. If this happens, our idea of building a professional cavalry will be aborted, and without a strong army, what will you do to build a strong cavalry? ”

Su Lihe also sighed deeply on the side. His desire for revenge was no weaker than that of Conroe. You must know that his brother-in-law died in his arms at that time. However, Li Tao's words are not unreasonable, and he still has a good idea of which is more important. Thinking of this, Surihe set his sights on Kanglu, knowing that the young Kanglu Khan would face a difficult choice.

"None of that is the most important thing!" Li Tao's expression became solemn: "The most important thing is that you must preserve your strength and use it to deal with the Great Cannibal, because the Great Cannibal is your biggest and most dangerous enemy." ”

Su Lihe was a little surprised when he heard Li Tao's words: "Why did King Lantian say this? ”

"The Turks came to the Western Regions for different purposes than the Great Cannibals, and the Turks came to plunder. They still have to go back to Mobei. And the big cannibals are different, they are for conquest. They wanted to turn the Zhaowu Nine Surnames and even the entire Western Regions into their own territory, and turn all tribes into their slaves. In this case, the tribes of the Western Regions should unite to deal with the Great Cannibals in order to ensure that their people do not become slaves. But if you fight hard with the Turks, who will be happiest after losing both? When the Great Cannibal attacked the Western Regions, what did the Turgish do to resist the iron hooves of the Great Cannibal? At that time, let alone the establishment of a powerful Turgish, it will be questionable whether the Turgish can survive or not. ”

Su Lihe understood that Li Tao's words made him feel a great crisis, he was afraid that Kang Lu would avenge his father, and he would not listen to Li Tao's words and insist on going his own way, so he persuaded Kang Lu: "Khan, I think what King Lantian said is right, or ......."

Before Su Lihe's words were finished, he was interrupted by Kang Lu: "Uncle Su Lihe, you don't need to say it, King Lantian's words are very clear, I know the severity." As long as I can build a powerful Turgish, I will admit this revenge! ”

"Who said they wouldn't report it?" Li Taohao said angrily: "Kang Lu, this revenge must be avenged, but not now." Your father, as the Khan of the Turks, died in battle, and you can only take true revenge if you kill the Turkic Mura Khan. When the Tirchi is strong in the future, you can completely wield Mobei, and when the time comes, you can take revenge as much as you want. ”

Kang Lu nodded and said: "King Lantian, I understand what you mean, don't worry, this time I will not go to the Turks to let them leave the Western Regions!" ”

Su Lihe asked, "King Lantian, what is the second thing you said?" ”

"After I leave, you should hurry up and train the troops, or it won't be long before the Luzhou regimental training and caravan will arrive here. When the time comes, your whole clan will leave here with them and head to Shattered Leaf City. ”

"What are you going to do in Shattered Leaf City?" Conroe asked.

"I have already made it clear to His Majesty the Tang Dynasty that Broken Leaf City will be the location of the Khan of Turgish, and then all your tribes will move to the banks of the Broken Water River."

"What? It's true? Kang Lu and Su Lihe were taken aback.

Broken Leaf City is one of the four towns of Anxi in the Tang Dynasty, Zhenguan 14th year of August Tang destroyed Gaochang State, in September placed the Anxi capital protectorate in Xizhou Jiaohe City, to manage the military and political affairs of the Western Regions. In the twenty-second year of Zhenguan, after the Tang army entered the country of Qiuci, the Anxi capital was moved to the capital of the country of Qiuci, and at the same time, the castle was built in the four cities of Qiuci, Yanqi, Khotan and Shule, and the military town was built, which was protected and unified by the capital of Anxi, so it was referred to as the four towns of Anxi. In the first year of Tiaolu, after the Tang Dynasty appeased the ambassador Pei Xingjian to quell the rebellion of the governor of Luyan Ashina Duzhi and others, he replaced Yanqi with the broken leaf town next to the broken leaf water. Since then, the four towns of Anxi have been broken leaves, Qiuzi, Khotan, and Shule.

Shattered Leaf City has been run by the Tang Dynasty for many years, and now it is going to be handed over to Turgish as the residence of the khan, which shocked Kang Lu and Su Lihe.

"Datang lost to Tuqi Shi first, and now this can be regarded as compensation for Tuqi Shi!" Li Tao said with emotion.

Kang Lu shook his head and said: "King Lantian, you don't need to say it, I have lived in Chang'an for many years, and I still know a little about the affairs of the court, if there is no mediation from you, this is impossible." ”

Li Tao Zhengse said: "Kang Lu, I don't deny that because you are my friend, I helped you!" However, this is not the main reason. ”

"Not the main reason?" Kang Lu asked suspiciously, "Is there any other reason?" ”

"Yes!" Li Tao nodded. (To be continued......)
