Chapter 505: Despised by Man
Li Tao was not polite, and the four of them feasted together.
After eating, Su Lihe was about to pour wine for a few people, Li Tao hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Su Lihe Ye Hu, you wait, let me finish speaking, let's drink again, I'm afraid that if I drink too much, I won't be able to speak." ”
Su Lihe hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, King Lantian, let's speak first, and then I will toast to you to make amends!" ”
Ashina Xuelian asked, "King Lantian, tell me how the second crisis of the Turgish you just mentioned will be resolved. ”
Li Tao glanced at Su Lihe: "It's up to Su Liheye to protect it!" ”
"Look at me? Lantian King, I've made up my mind to change, don't you believe it? Su Li was anxious again when he heard it.
"Of course I know that you have made up your mind to change, but I know what's the use, the key is that your people don't know, can you go around beating gongs and drums to tell everyone that you have decided to make changes?"
"That's right!" Su Lihe scratched his head and asked, "Then will you tell me what I should do?" ”
"Absolutely!" Li Tao said: "You only need to cooperate with a play!" ”
"Acting? What kind of play? Su Lihe asked, puzzled.
Kang Lu and Ashina Snow Lotus also looked at Li Tao curiously.
"Play a play about the bitter meat trick for everyone to see......"
Li Tao explained his plan to the three of them in detail.
After hearing this, Kang Lu and Ashina Xuelian couldn't help but ask, "Can this work?" ”
Without waiting for Li Tao to answer, Su Lihe agreed: "I think this method is good!" ”
"But, Uncle Surihe. You ......," Conroch hesitated.
"It's okay, I'm strong, Khan doesn't have to worry!" Su Lihe said and looked at Li Tao again: "King Lantian." In addition to the two points you just mentioned, is there any other problem with Turgish? ”
Li Tao put on a serious expression: "Of course there is, and the problem I am talking about below is much more serious than the two I said before!" ”
Seeing that Li Tao's expression became solemn, Su Lihe said respectfully: "Please speak up to King Lantian, we will listen to you!" ”
"The combat power of the Turgish cavalry is too weak!" Li Tao said unceremoniously.
"King Lantian, what do you say?" Su Lihe couldn't help frowning.
Li Tao said that the combat power of the Turian cavalry was too weak. Su Lihe does not approve of this. In the vast place of the Western Regions, the Turgish cavalry can be said to be the strongest, all of which stems from the fact that the Turgish people are not afraid of death in battle. Li Tao's remarks were a blasphemy against Tuqishi. If these words came from someone else's mouth, Su Lihe must make him pay the price, but it was Li Tao who said it, and he could only hold back his dissatisfaction. Ask Li Tao why.
"The Khan of Qinhua died in battle. The Turgish were defeated, and you blame the Turks for dying in battle, and blame the Tang Dynasty for not reaching out and treating them as your enemies. In fact, you are wrong, and the most important thing to blame is that your own combat power is too weak. ”
Li Tao spoke in surprise again, but Su Lihe Kanglu and Ashina Xuelian listened quietly, and they knew that Li Tao would definitely give them a reasonable explanation.
"That's right. The Turks have taken advantage of your unpreparedness to attack you, but they will not be able to wipe you out in an instant. As far as I know. Doesn't it tell a whole story that you later fought a decisive battle with the Turks, and the Turks had 200,000 cavalry, but only 100,000 of the Turkic cavalry attacked you? ”
Although Li Tao's words were direct, they made Su Lihe and the three unable to refute them.
Li Tao continued: "You blame Datang for not coming to your rescue, I don't deny it, maybe Datang will not be defeated if he makes a move." But you ignore the fact that the Tang Dynasty only has 25,000 people in Beiting, and even if it sends troops, it can only mobilize 10,000 people at most. 10,000 Datang cavalry can save 200,000 Tuqi Shi cavalry, don't you blame Datang for saying that your combat effectiveness is too weak? ”
Su Lihe really couldn't understand why Shi Tieqi, who once had a great reputation in the Western Regions, became so unbearable in Li Tao's mouth, but what Li Tao said was the truth, he felt a little aggrieved, he wanted to shout, he wanted to refute, but he couldn't make a sound anyway.
Li Tao can understand Su Lihe's mood very well, a hero who has galloped on the battlefield all his life, he will naturally not feel comfortable being despised by others, but in order to change the chaos in the Western Regions, he must convince the high-level of the Turgean Shi.
Thinking of this, Li Tao was ruthless, and looked at Su Lihe with sympathetic eyes: "I don't deny that the warriors of the Turkishes are not afraid of death, but fighting is different from fighting, not that you can win with more people, and you can win the battle by being brave alone." To put it mildly, if the Turgish does not change the backwardness of the army now, it will still lose the battle in the future, and whether the Turgish can survive is a question! ”
Speaking of this, Li Tao stopped, he wanted to leave some time for the three of them to digest what he had just said. The system and combat methods of the Turkish cavalry have been inherited from the extinct Western Turks, which have a history of hundreds of years, so it is not easy for them to admit that they are backward and reform, whether they have the courage and courage to do so, Li Tao has no bottom in his heart, all he can do is to do his best and obey the destiny of heaven.
Time seemed to stand still, the air in the room froze, and none of the four of them spoke. I don't know how long it took, Kang Lu raised his head first, and he didn't look at Li Tao, but at Su Lihe. Suri merged and did not notice this move of Conroch, and he was still bowing his head and pondering. Kang Lu was not in a hurry, just waited quietly.
Finally, Su Lihe raised his head, he took a deep breath of relief, and found that Kang Lu was staring at him with a wise gaze, he nodded slightly at Kang Lu, and Kang Lu also nodded at him, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Kang Lu looked at Li Tao: "King Lantian, what should we do?" ”
Kang Lu and Su Lihe's every move fell into Li Tao's eyes, and now hearing Kang Lu's question, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that the purpose of his trip could be achieved.
Li Tao was relieved, and his tone of voice was much more relaxed: "If you want to gain a foothold in this place in the Western Regions, if you want to not be bullied, and if you want to make a career, you must have a strong and invincible army, only in this way will others respect you and you can live with dignity." So, in order for the Turgish to be strong, you must build such an army, but you don't have such an army now! ”
Kang Lu nodded: "You are right, but we don't know how to do it, and no one knows how to do it, if anyone knew that they would have done it a long time ago, they wouldn't have waited until today." ”
Li Tao pointed to his nose: "Kang Lu, have you forgotten?" I told you when I came, I came to Turgish to help you do this? (To be continued......)
