Chapter 83: Two Pseudo-Khan Kings
After listening to Gao Yaxian's words, Li Chengzong also understood the current situation on the grassland, that is, the puppet Khan King was secretly divided.
The Turkic nation has always been a loose confederation of states, and it is important to pay attention to who listens to whom. But Tuli Khan was driven crazy this time, and he reached a dead end, knowing that he might not be able to defeat Jieli Khan, but he still reversed. Although the other tribes don't know much about the culture of the Central Plains, it's not that they can't understand the truth of this cold mouth, on the one hand, everyone thinks that Jieli Khan can contact outsiders to make turbulent profits, so maybe one day he can also contact outsiders to destroy himself.
On the other hand, it was also this Jieli Khan who himself sought death, the former Turks were a country with no written rules, everything was to live according to customs and traditions, and it was extremely easy to manage. However, since Jieli could reuse Zhao Deyan, the Turks began to become harsh and harsh, which made people complain. Everyone has long been very dissatisfied with Jieli Khan, and this fear and dissatisfaction are full of burning anger, as the so-called burning can die of heat if you can't burn to death.
At this time, Jieli Khan was under attack everywhere, and his troops and territory were getting smaller and smaller. Speaking again, this Jieli Khan is not an ordinary person, and he still has a bit of a skill after being a Great Khan for so many years. Seeing that his territory was getting smaller and smaller, he knew that he couldn't hold it even if he continued to fight, and he would still die. So he broke his wrist and took the initiative to shrink his forces, giving up most of the territory, so that the Tuli Khan and his allies could take these places without a single soldier.
But this problem also came, Tuli thought that he was the leader, and the person who shouted the first slogan and raised the first banner should be the head. He was also right, and all the Turkic tribes listened to Tuli at the beginning, but when this big cake arrived on the table, none of the people at the table could sit still, and everyone wanted to eat the biggest bite, and no one wanted to be the last to eat the bread. Because everyone understands that whether there is the last bite or not is a question, and even if this last bite is left, it is a big cake where no one wants to eat, and it will definitely be difficult to swallow.
What Jieli Khan wants is to see the Tuli group make trouble on their own, not that the easiest way to break the fortress is to attack it internally.
"This old thing is a bit scheming." After analyzing it for a while, Li Chengzong really felt that there was no better way than to take the initiative to gather troops and sit back and watch the infighting in the alliance of Tuli.
"It's useless to have scheming, even if you suddenly stop, you can't move forward because of your own reasons. Kejieli Khan lost his armor along the way, and now he is just surviving. Without foreign help, it would be difficult for him to turn over on his own. Wang Xiaohu said.
"He can't be allowed to die, now there are two great khans in one Turk, each of which can be said to be true, but each of which can be false. None of them can really control the entire Turks, and none of them have the prestige to make people bow down. Jieli Khan died by himself, and lost his prestige in several major battles. The Turki Khan never established any prestige, let alone anyone who sincerely obeyed him. But there is one point, these two people are opposites, each other is the sworn enemy of the other, and everything else is secondary. But if one of them dies, no matter who they are, they will take measures to win people's hearts and re-establish their prestige at the first time. Li Chengzong said.
Wang Xiaohu said: "What does Your Highness mean to let the Turks continue like this, forever trapped in their own wars and unable to pull them out?"
"It won't be forever, but if you can't let them live in peace for a long time, you must fight. The Turkic people are wild, and their culture does not have the ideological and moral shackles of the Four Books and the Five Classics, loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness. They follow the principle of utilitarianism first, and do everything for the purpose of obtaining some kind of profit. Such a person is the most terrifying, when you are strong, he is attached to you, and naturally he is obedient and does not dare to disobey. But when you are weak, he must be the first to pounce on you and bite you. The meaning of Li Chengzong's words is already obvious.
"I understand Your Highness, my subordinates immediately informed Wang Xiaohu to find a way to help Jieli Khan, so that he would not fall down in a short time." Gao Yaxian said.
"Go ahead, let Wang Xiaohu be careful himself."
"Your Highness, don't worry, Wang Xiaohu is a thief, he is also very familiar with the Turks, there will be no problem." Gao Yaxian still has confidence in Wang Xiaohu. And even if there is a little bit of nothing, there is no need to be afraid, on behalf of His Highness, no one dares to hurt his life.
After Wang Xiaohu received Gao Yaxian's letter, he hurriedly burned it with fire.
"Your Highness wants to help Jieli Khan, what can I do?" Wang Xiaohu was very worried, what he knew best in Liangzhou was the situation on the Turkic side. Jieli Khan is now embattled, and if you want to get supplies to Jieli Khan, you have to pass through other people's territory, and it is simply impossible to go undetected.
Wang Xiaohu denied the idea of transporting supplies, and thought of other methods, but they were all vetoed by himself, and none of them could be used. He hesitated to tell His Highness about this, saying that he had nothing to do! But if you think about it again, isn't this admitting that you are incompetent!
I don't know if it's God forbid, Wang Xiaohu, who hasn't slept all night, came up with an idea. He first sent the materials to some small tribes who relied on Jieli Khan, and then leaked the news to Jieli Khan, so that the materials that had just arrived during the day were robbed by Jieli Khan at night, and everyone didn't even have time to react.
Tuli Khan once or twice can be regarded as a coincidence, but there are too many coincidences, and it can't be a coincidence! It must have been a mole, but he couldn't think of who did it for a while. If you can't think of who it is, then you can only eliminate suspicion one by one, and whoever is left can only say that you are unlucky.
According to Tuli's thinking, the first thing to exclude is the people who send supplies, which can be regarded as Li Chengzong's moral support, and he has no reason to sell this information to Jieli Khan. What's more, Jieli Khan was the one who wanted to besiege him at the beginning, and such a big feud in front of him ruled out the possibility of him. The second is those tribes that have been robbed, these people have suffered a lot of casualties, and it is not easy for them to get some supplies if they are already weak, and they will not do this kind of stupid thing of losing their wives and soldiers. The people of the other tribes rushed to fight for the territory of Jieli Khan one by one, if they also offended the old guy Jieli to death, wishing that he would never turn over and have no reason to help him.
Thinking about it, Tuli couldn't think of a person who had the motivation and ability to accomplish this.
When Wang Xiaohu was still smug, he didn't know that Tuli found another way, and instead of thinking about who did it, it was better to directly cut off the root cause. Tuli was reluctant to refuse the supplies, so he asked for them to be delivered directly to him.
Wang Xiaohu scolded him for being a mother, and the aid that didn't last long was in vain. (To be continued.) )
