Chapter 716: The Western Turkic Infighting Begins
Seeing the continuous retreat of the army in front of him, General Kang Ying's heart was also relieved, at least this war could be avoided, but when General Kang Ying returned to the tent, seeing these people in front of him, the general's heart was a little sad.
These people are all the general's cronies, and now they have a sad look on their faces, this time after they go back, I am afraid that there will be less bad luck, and now there are rumors flying all over the Wangcheng, all saying that the general has surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and it is very likely that it will be the second Wadahan.
This troop movement was enough to prove that the above suspicion had reached a substantial stage, and all the troops of General Kang Ying were transferred back to the rear, and 20,000 royal iron cavalry remained in the border area.
Originally, this was a good thing for the general, he could lead his army home, and he could also let his brothers meet with their families, but the khan came with another will, that is, to let General Kang Ying stay in the border area and command 20,000 royal iron cavalry.
This is to separate the general from his tribal cavalry, so that on the surface, the burden on the general's shoulders is heavy, and it may also corrode the 20,000 royal iron cavalry, but after his men return to the royal city, what will be the result? The Khan will definitely not let these people get together, and then the division and collapse will begin, and in the end, it will be a loss for the general.
"What are you all doing in a daze, your army is already on the road, do you still have to wait here? According to the agreement between us and Datang, before sunset today, you people have to leave, don't delay your efforts here, do a good job after you go back, and obey the Khan's orders. ”
The general tried his best to calm his voice a little, so that his subordinates could not see that he was a little dissatisfied, if he let his subordinates see it, I am afraid that these people would not want to go back, and now they are on the cusp of a storm, if there is any more gossip, the general's life will be even more difficult.
"General, don't you see it yet? Mobilize all of us back, and leave you alone, this is preparing to divide and disintegrate us, the Khan's method is not clever enough, he stayed in the royal city, after listening to some rumors, he is ready to take us people under the knife, how can this work? ”
Now at the end of the day, if you don't say these words, I'm afraid you won't even have the opportunity to say this in the future, these generals are also fighting bloody for the Western Turks, but now when they go back, they may have to separate from their own army, and the Khan will not allow them to have these armies, because these people are not trusted.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who gave you the right to speak like this, have you forgotten? Our entire Turkic tribe is a khan, don't think that your army is your own, if you have such thoughts, then I will cut you down first, so that you don't have trouble when you return to the royal city. ”
General Kang Ying's biggest fear still happened, he is still loyal to the Turks, but he doesn't want any deviations, such as the war with the Tang Dynasty or something, if it really starts, according to current estimates, the Western Turks have no chance of winning, so he is deliberately helping the Tang Dynasty, but now the situation is different, and the above is full of suspicion about him.
"Haven't you seen it, General? It's not like we're making trouble, we don't talk about what days we're spending on the front, and we hang our heads to our belts every day, but what's the use? The above still don't believe us, the current transfer has said everything, and we all have to be prepared. ”
The people under him said very painfully, in addition to worrying about the general, of course, they will also worry about their own lives, once they return to the khan's men, how can the khan treat them well? They will definitely be stripped of their military power first, and when these people show a little dissatisfaction, it is estimated that the Khan's army will come to the door.
"Fart, who told you to do something, do you know what the situation is now? We have just finished peace talks with Datang, and the whole country is in an extremely dangerous state, if you move troops at will, then we Turks will give Datang a chance. ”
General Kang Ying slapped the table, the most fearful thing still happened, he was able to see clearly that the current Turkic danger was not an internal problem, but an external cause of the danger.
The reason why the Tang army did not do it this time was because their strength was not strong enough, but if the Turks went through a civil strife, then the strength of the Turks would drop significantly, and then the opportunity for the Tang Dynasty would come, and no one could stop Li Xiang at that time, and he was likely to sweep the entire Turkic.
"That being said, do we just watch the Khan weaken us? I also have a lot of friends in Wangcheng, and the Khan has been recruiting people below one after another in the past few days just to divide us. ”
There are still people who don't give up, they are delusional that General Kang Ying will stand up, and then lead them to rebel against the Khan, although it will not cause trouble inside the split, but it must also let the Khan know that we are powerful, if we don't let the Khan know that we are powerful, then he will continue to do this next.
"You all shut up for me, this matter cannot be discussed in the future, as long as you remember that we are a Turk, everything is brought by the Khan, then even if you are worthy of me, no matter what happens in the future, no one can resist the Khan, otherwise I will kill him with the first sword."
General Kang Ying is a person who takes care of the overall situation, of course he knows the specific situation now, if he doesn't do this, I'm afraid that the future situation will make them very passive, now what Datang needs is an opportunity, I thought that the Khan would know this, but I didn't expect that for the power in his hands, the Khan would do everything.
General Kang Ying also wanted to go back and scold him awake, but the Khan didn't give him a chance at all, let him continue to stay on the front line, and the army was reduced to 20,000 people, so that the Tang side would not pursue it, and it was not the core of General Kang Ying's subordinates, and these people would not listen to Kang Ying's words.
At the insistence of the general, these people under his command can only get on their own war horses, as for what they think in their hearts, I am afraid that only they know it, and the hearts of the people are scattered......
