Chapter 940: Cao Hu'er, who is hard, anxious, and tangled
Chapter 940
"The important thing is that General Ming'a can obey Lone's decisions and will, and will not make assertions. Otherwise, if it is replaced by other generals, no one knows what chaos will happen. Tukun took a deep breath, well, to put it mildly, his subordinates are not without talent.
Especially in the area of military generals, there are really a lot of brave and good fighters, but there is a strange problem that is due to the character of the Qihu people, most of these generals prefer to pull out their knives and rush up shirtless with a roar and come with a white knife in and out of the red knife.
Strategy, that's not the way of doing things of our Qihu people, you can use it when you frame people, and when you go to the battlefield, it's a comparison of whose knife is faster or faster.
Anyway, these are the inner activities of the general and normal Qihu generals, and the only one who can really carry out Tukun's will thoroughly and without making the slightest change is this military general who calls Ming'a.
But this Ming'a also has a big shortcoming, he will only honestly follow the script formulated by his superiors to march and fight, once there is a lack of guidance, it is really a bit of a break.
This made Tukun relieved, but more complaining, can't there be more talents on the grassland for the gods? Think about those Han people, wise generals, good generals, and even handsome people will always spring up like mushrooms after a rain.
And on the Qihu side, if you want to say that you can fight, you can definitely count as the top one, well, that is, a bunch of biao-like characters, but if you want to say that a general who can order and prohibit on the battlefield and can make the soldiers advance and retreat freely, there is really no talent.
Therefore, all along, the Khithu people have been fighting against the Tang Dynasty, and what they can rely on is the essential ruthlessness and bloody courage of the Khithu people.
This is why whenever the Tang Empire fights with Qihu, it can always be the first to suffer small defeats and small defeats, but the final winner is still the Tang Dynasty in the end.
Depressed to depressed, who made the Khithu people reluctant to study, who made these guys always think that all they needed was a horse, a knife and a pot of wine was enough, Tukun knew deeply the shortcomings of the Khithu people's character.
It is precisely for this reason that he often introspects, in addition to self-examination, vigorously appoints those Han people, especially those Han officials who have fled. Even if they did bad things on the side of the Tang Empire, they fled to the grassland for fear of being punished by the Tang Dynasty.
But at least these guys can be regarded as capable people, although there are many shortcomings, but the ability of these people cannot be completely denied. If a certain official is just a fool, how can he do so many things to be a traitor, although Tukun also despises the character of these guys, but for the sake of their talent and ability, he can only pinch his nose and appoint them.
This is also the reason why Totohai has developed rapidly and rapidly over the years, that is, because of Tukun's eclectic methods and means of using talents, even if those Han people who defected were more likely to hold some middle and low-level positions, or to make a living similar to consultants and strategists, but it brought a lot of new ideas and new ideas to Tukun on how to govern Totohai.
And this time, Tukun went south, naturally because his subordinates took the three counties of Hetao, so he specially came to inspect his new territory after settling down the affairs of Totuohai.
This is less than ten miles away from the three counties of the Hetao, but after receiving the order, Ming A rushed north in the early hours of this morning, and finally received Tukun and his party at a distance of 100 miles from Shanghetao City.
I have to say that this time the light cavalry took the three counties, which can be said to be Tukun's most proud handiwork, and even his sense of accomplishment surpassed the conquest of the Western Regions.
Because, this expedition to the Tang Dynasty was based on Tukun's own personal judgment, and of course, it was indispensable to fit the big danghu to make a statement to himself, analyzing that the Tang Empire is now in an extremely dangerous situation.
And Cao Hu'er is the key to it, this guy was originally the confidant of Zhao Linfu, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and he can be regarded as Zhao Linfu's right-hand man in the military. Moreover, this man fought bravely, but had a fierce and brutal temperament, and was always regarded as the number one enemy by many tribes in the Totohai tribe north of the three counties of the Hetao, and there were clashes between the two sides every year.
Although there were victories and defeats between each other, it also made Tukun realize that the three counties of Hetao were a very difficult bone to gnaw.
It's just that Tukun never thought that all the good things started to appear from an accident. This Cao Hu'er led a large number of elite divisions to the south, and then, the goods actually chopped up Colche, who was also Zhao Linfu's henchman, and after that, he directly betrayed Zhao Linfu, broke through the palace, and took the unconscious Tang Emperor into hostage.
After receiving this series of information about the Tang Dynasty, Tukun sent people to the Golden Horde court to report this major event, and on the other hand, he planned to seize the three counties of Hetao, which were rich in water and grass. With the strength of Totohai now, it will naturally not be too much of a problem to deal with the empty three counties of Hetao.
It's just that if you want to take these three counties, you will have to pay a lot of casualties on your side. But the problem is that these Totohai warriors are all their own capital to compete for hegemony in the grassland and even the Central Plains in the future, how can they be so wasteful for the sake of the three counties in the Tang Dynasty?
However, Tukun is also very covetous of the winter pastures of these three counties, and for the nomads of the Toto Sea, who are located on the edge of the steppe near the Gobi, the three counties of Hetao are like a huge and fragrant barbecue.
How can we take the three counties of the Hetao in the shortest possible time and with the least casualties? Tukun pondered deeply for a whole day. Finally figured out a problem, or the favorite sentence of the Han strategist, so that a huge plan gradually took shape in his heart.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, well, that's probably what it means, Tukun continued to ponder this sentence, and after thinking about it for a long time, he invited many advisers such as the Great Lord, or Armu, Damo, and the like to come and discuss.
And Tukun's idea has won the strong support and support of this courtier, indeed, if we can collude with that Cao Hu'er, then we will be equivalent to one more ally who is the enemy of the Tang Dynasty.
The other party is not short of weapons, but there is a lack of war horses, and I naturally have no shortage of war horses, but iron tools and weapons are still very lacking, not to mention that Cao Hu'er has now broken away from Zhao Linfu and formed his own faction, although he has captured an unconscious Tang Tianzi as a hostage.
But he is actually very weak-minded, after all, with only seventy or eighty thousand troops, the difficulty factor of overthrowing a Tang Empire with nearly one million troops is too great, and the possibility of doing it by himself is really too small.
If he can really get a new ally by accident, then Cao Hu'er will definitely want to come over and kneel and lick it. So, His Highness Tukun's policy is right, but the question is, both sides always have to show enough sincerity?
In other words, the other party had to show enough sincerity, so Damo, a sharp-tongued and equally proficient in Chinese, became an envoy and quietly traveled to the area of Youxian Palace to find Cao Hu'er.
Cao Hu'er was also struggling, anxious, and entangled at that time. Yes, at that time, his mind was hot, and after chopping up that Corkie, Cao had no way back, so he could only go all the way to the black. However, before taking the Youxian Palace, there is actually another chance to choose, that is, to continue to fall to Zhao Linfu, or to fall to the queen.
It's a pity that Zhang Shao's goods didn't give Cao Hu'er a chance to choose at all, and even because he was afraid of doing something wrong to the queen, he first forced the queen to commit suicide, and then burned the body, and after that, the eleventh prince also died in the chaos.
After this series of actions, Cao Hu'er has risen from an ordinary thief to the height of ****, or in other words, Cao Hu'er has no second way to survive except to resist to the death.
Because he already has a blood feud with the Tang royal family, no one of the Tang royal family will ascend the throne as emperor, let alone let this person go. Because his hands were stained with the blood of the Tang royal family.
What makes Cao Hu'er even more uneasy is that after he broke through this Youxian Palace, after controlling the emperor Lao'er, who had been unconscious, in his own hands, indeed, the offensive of the Sixteen Guards for this area has been in a state of stagnation, you can search for "", you can find this site as soon as possible.
