Risking to snatch the Tang army's rations?

Cessing land to win over the Khitans?

When the situation was confusing, Yi Ran had this thought, why didn't King Zuo Xian have such an idea?

The Sassanids were like arrows on the western front, ready to break into Turkic territory.

The Right Xian King, the Right Valley Liwang was pinned down by the Tang army in Tubo, even if he learned the news and withdrew, he had to pass through the Tianshan Mountains, and was blocked by the defenders of the Anxi Protectorate along the way.

They did not have enough troops to defend on the Western Front, and if Antony led his army to kill them, the situation of the Turks would be even worse.

The fighting on the front line is tight, and the clansmen in the rear are suffering.

The only person who can save the Turks and break the game is Yeluyao.

Unexpectedly, Yi Ran, King Zuo Xian thought that the plan was more secure, but it caused the generals in the army to refute.

"King Xian, the Khitan and the Turks live in the northern steppe, for a hundred years, the two sides have been fighting for water sources and pastures, and they have been constantly fighting each other, which is a hundred years of feud.

In recent years, the Khitan has grown stronger and stronger under the rule of Yelu Yao, and all the generals under his account have thoughts of revenge.

Cutting the land and seeking peace, vain and the snake are co-opted, the face of the clansmen is gone, and the people resist not to say, where is the prestige of the Khan?"

Yan Xingjun, King Zuo Gu Li was silent, and was considering the impact and consequences of Yi Ran's suggestion.

Su Li, the general of King Zuoxian's confidant, first stepped forward and bowed down to stand in the center of the military tent, and retorted sharply.

The Turks and Khitans have been fighting for many years, and the blood of their respective clansmen is soaked in the northern grasslands, and the corpses of the soldiers can build a great wall in the grasslands, and each other's hands are stained with the blood of each other's people.

The feud that lasts for a hundred years cannot be resolved with a sentence of land cutting.

The shackles imprisoned in the heart are by no means the end of one party's resignation.

This is a feud, and one side must fall to represent the end of the struggle between the two sides.

What's more, the combat power, territorial scope, and population of the Turkic iron cavalry far exceed that of the Khitan.

They are the overlords of the grassland, controlling the Khitan in the east, conquering the Sassanid in the west, and attacking the Tang Dynasty in the south.

In doing so, it is undoubtedly Turkic submission to the Khitan.

Su Li racked his brains, couldn't figure it out, didn't understand.

Only a year ago, the Yiran tribe was chased and beaten by the Khitan Yelu Puhua army, which caused the tribe to fall into a life-and-death crisis, and took refuge in the Algus tribe and asked the royal court for help to barely survive the difficulties.

The Yiran Division, the Zuoxian Wang Division, the Yan Xingjun Division, the Temur Division, and most of the clansmen in the tribe have the souls of the dead who died tragically under the blade of the Khitan wolf riding the blade.

Yiran forgets his past grievances and disregards the dignity of the Khan.

It does not mean that the clansmen have forgotten the glory and momentum of the Turks in the past.

If the land is cut, the clansmen will not agree, and neither will the soldiers of the three armies agree.

Taking a step back, even against the Tang Dynasty, the Sassanids, and the tribesmen are united, sincerely united, taking into account the overall situation, temporarily putting aside the estrangement with the Khitan, flattering the Khitan, and seeking peace.

Would Jerry Yao approve?

In those years, under the oppression of the Turks, how many Khitan princesses were sent into the Turkic Khan's tent, and how much grain was transported into the Turkic treasury.

This hatred, how could Yelu Yao forget.

In this battle, Yelu Yao did not choose to form an alliance with Yang Yue, form a coalition army to crusade against the Turks, and ask the guilt, how could he accept the Turkic land cession and risk sending troops to attack the Tang Dynasty?

"King Xian, General Su Li is reasonable, the elder brother of the last general, in the battle with the Khitan a few years ago, he was killed by Yelu Puhua, the king of the Khitan right valley, and the last general did not agree to cede land to the Khitan and win over the Khitan to fight the Tang!"

Another general of the Yan Department stood up and came out of the ranks, agreeing with Su Li's suggestion.

If he ordered the three armies to plunder the grain and grass of the Tang army, he risked fighting to the death.

Cut the land to the Khitan and make peace, as a general in the army, he will never agree to it.

Before the generals spoke, the general said eloquently: "King Agus Khan once said that no matter how vast the Turkic territory is, not an inch is superfluous, because every inch of Turkic land is sprinkled with the blood of tribal athletes, and the last general believes that all the generals present will obey the words of King Agus Khan."

As soon as this statement came out, several silent generals in the military tent successively issued statements of support and refuted Yi Ran's suggestion.

For a while, King Zuoxian's face was as gray as ashes, embarrassed and embarrassed.

He didn't expect that just mentioning the cession of land to win over the Khitan had not yet been put into action, which had already caused most of the generals in the army to refute it.

A devastating drought.

An invincible force.

A bunch of vengeful thieves.

The situation of the tribe is bad enough, if the army is distracted, the tribe is scattered, facing the offensive of the Tang army and the Sassanids, the situation of the Turks will deteriorate!

At this time, Yan Xingjun said: "King Xian, snatching the grain and grass of the Tang army is a top priority, so there is no need to make a big move to win over the Khitan, under the current situation, if Ye Luyao is wise enough, and his advisers and generals have a long-term vision, they should know the truth of cold lips and teeth.

Instead of taking the opportunity to fall into the well to suppress the Turks, the Khitan should get along with the Turks and tide over the difficulties together.

In the steppe, there can be no Khitan, but there can be no Turks, once our department encounters the Tang army, the Sassanid army is annihilated, and the Khitan will not want to survive alone under the Tang army."

Yelu Yao had too close contacts with Yang Yue, but Yang Yue's plan to eliminate the Turks, Khitans, and relieve the hidden dangers in the north of the Tang Dynasty is also well known.

Losing the Turkic control in the north of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Yue has no scruples and will send elite iron cavalry to level the Khitan as soon as possible.

Put an end to the threat from the north once and for all.

At this moment, he even suspected that Yang Yue had wooed Sassanid to invade the Turks, and after waiting for the various forces in the steppe to be resolved, Sassanid would also become the target of the Tang Dynasty's conquest.

Therefore, Yan Xingjun does not recommend groveling to cut the land to win over the Khitans.

"Yes, King Xian, the soldiers of the three armies retorted, and the prince should advise Yiran not to do anything that would lose people's hearts!" King Zuogu Liwang echoed.

All the generals refuted and did not support the Khitan!

King Zuo Xian did not dare to dictate Gangchang, so as not to provoke the resistance of the three armies.

There was a rare smile on his face, his skin was not smiling, his eyes swept over Su Li and other generals, and he said loudly: "Don't worry, generals, this king will carefully consider the idea of reporting to the Khan King and winning over the soldiers of the three armies.

However, since we can't win over the Khitan, we need to snatch enough food from the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible, and support the southern expedition of the army on the one hand."

Grain?

The food problem has deeply affected the Turkic foundations, and the stability of the front-line armies, it is necessary to grab sufficient food as soon as possible by unscrupulous means.

As the commander of the three armies of the Southern Expeditionary Army, King Zuo Xian did not dare to be sloppy.

"That's right, it's the end of summer, we can't hold out in southern Xinjiang for long, if there is not enough food, the army's plan to march south will fail, and the tribes will encounter problems in winter." Yan Xingjun said cautiously: "King Xian, the last general is willing to lead the army back to the grassland to chase and kill Lin Kaiyue, and take the opportunity to snatch his grain."

"King Xian, our department is also willing to return to the grassland and hunt down the Tang army led by Lin Kaiyue!" Left Valley Liwang hugging fist suggestion.
