225 Assault on the Royal Court (I)
The massacre did not last very long, first, everyone finally fulfilled their promises, and their hearts were more or less comfortable, and they came, under the pursuit of thousands of miles for eight days and eight nights, several tribes were wiped out, not to mention the seemingly tragic Lingzhou Massacre, the reputation of the Tang Dynasty Iron Cavalry and the name of those who committed the Tang Dynasty should also be passed out, whether it is a direct goal or a fundamental goal, everyone has done a good job, so after shooting the head of a strong man with a weapon in his hand, Suning decisively ordered to stop killing Hu Xue's subordinates and leave a little credit for the general manager of Li Daozong.
Anyway, what awaits them in Zuihou is still death, and they want to survive under the labor reform policy? Hehehe, that's really a fantasy, don't say that Li Erbixia is not very willing, the officials and people of the Tang Dynasty are basically unwilling, Li Erbixia usually pretends that no one will take it seriously, just the serious chief official of the Gongnu Division shouts every day to improve the situation of slaves, everyone basically scoffs, if there is no more, go to arrest, what are you afraid of? The food is reserved for the people of the Tang Dynasty to go out for the disaster relief army, not for these barbarians!
But I really want to talk to those guys who don't have a concept of human rights, okay, let them live a few more years!
These barbarians, who cower and bow to the ground and beg for mercy when they move a little, have well inherited the tradition of the steppe nomads - submit to the strong, as long as the Tang Dynasty is strong, they will always be like this, and in the future, these tribes will not only pay tribute to cattle, sheep, horses and various products, but also to pay tribute to slaves! Yes, I have to talk to Li Erbixia about this, and this will be the case in the unequal treaty at that time. Wouldn't it be possible to get a lot of slaves every year? And it can also exacerbate the internal contradictions of these tribes and countries, killing two birds with one stone.
Seeing that the Tang Dynasty army that stopped killing gathered the remaining Hu Xue troops together in an extremely rough way, trapped them in a rough ball with ropes, and separated an army to slowly leave with these troops, Ashina's heart was a little worried, he rode his horse to Suning, who was commanding all this, looked at the Hu Xue people who were escorted away with fear on their faces, and said to Suning: "To be honest, when I went to Chang'an, I really didn't expect that in just a few years. Datang will become like this. ”
Suning smiled and asked, "I don't know what General Ashina meant?" ”
Ashina squinted his eyes and said, "The Tang Dynasty at that time." I can't feel such a tyrannical aura, I don't know, what can make Datang's army what it is now. Haven't you Han people always talked about etiquette? I know what is far away. That was said by you Han people 800 years ago. But now, eight hundred years later, do you remember? ”
Suning also narrowed his eyes and looked at Ashina. smiled: "General Ashina is wrong, the army of the Tang Dynasty has never been tyrannical, and the Tang Dynasty has never been tyrannical, you should also know that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Bixia, strictly forbids the Tang Dynasty soldiers to kill prisoners indiscriminately, and the emperor Bixia strictly requires the Tang Dynasty soldiers to bring these captives back to the Tang Dynasty and use labor to atone for their sins, not by killing, but also because of this, the emperor Bixia even intends to abolish the conscription of his people, in the world, you can no longer find a more merciful country than the Tang Dynasty, Isn't it? ”
Ashina's face changed, and then he quickly returned to his original state, looked at Suning and said with a smile: "I think, after these captives go to the Tang Dynasty, they will do the same thing, right?" Of course, they will die in the most miserable way, and in the end, the result will be the same, except that they will live in pain for a while, in the words of an idiom of your Han people, life is better than death. ”
Suning smiled and waved his hand: "General Ashina thinks too much, this is not the point, the point is that General Ashina has already paid the payment, then, I should also fulfill my promise, Datang, will fully support everything General Ashina will do, now I only have 1,500 soldiers under my command to help General Ashina, but soon more than 2,000 soldiers will come here to help General Ashina, and more importantly, the combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty General Ashina should also understand, Not to mention that this warrior who has followed me for eight days and eight nights has no problem with one enemy and ten, and there is also the fact that we are a sneak attack, and the other party is defenseless. ”
Ashina looked at Suning deeply: "If I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes, I really couldn't believe that you were only fourteen years old, I was really scared, I don't know if I was right or wrong to do this, you gave me the feeling that it was too dangerous, you tell me, is it right or wrong for me to do this?" ”
Suning shook his head and smiled: "General Ashina, may I ask, is it wrong for you to want to save your life?" ”
Ashina shook his head: "Of course not." ”
Suning continued: "So you want to save the lives of your wife, children, and other family and friends, is it wrong? ”
Ashina shook his head: "It's not." ”
Suning continued: "So is it wrong for you to overthrow an unsuitable and incompetent tyrannical and ruthless Great Khan for your Great Turkic Khanate and fight for a better future for your country? ”
Ashina thought for a while, took a deep breath, and shook his head: "You don't need to say it anymore, I know, I have no way out, I can only make a desperate bet with you, this is Zuihou's chance, isn't it?" I don't know what to say, I thought, let's wait until we've done all that! How is it? ”
Suning nodded and smiled: "That's natural." ”
In the court of the king of the Western Turkic Khan, the Great Khan of the Wild Protector was sitting in his place, dealing with some things, and a man who couldn't see his face clearly walked up to him and handed over a parchment scroll: "Great Khan, the book is coming, Ashina Ni has led the army to the destination, it is estimated that at this time it has received the Hu Xue Department, and he will be able to come back soon, the task has been successfully completed, and there is no Tang Army chasing after him for the time being." ”
The Khan took the parchment roll, looked at it, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "Yes, you did a good job. ”
The man who couldn't see his face clearly hunched over and said, "This is what his subordinates should do for the Great Khan." ”
The Khan of the Leaf Protector nodded and continued, "This thing is done well, but. The mission hasn't been successfully completed, has it? I can't be sure if the Tang army has chased after him, and also, Ashina is still alive, according to my orders, I don't want to see him in the team that comes back, are you sure you can handle this matter? ”
The man who couldn't see his face clearly nodded and said: "The Great Khan doesn't have to worry about this at all, the Great Khan's personal soldiers have mastered the surrounding guards of Ashina, he must not feel it at this time, but when it comes to the return journey, it only takes one night." Quietly do something tricky. There are countless ways to do this, and no one will see that no matter how good he is, he will never be a threat to the Great Khan again. Don't worry, Great Khan. ”
The Khan nodded: "That's good." I look forward to your results. ”
The man bowed. Turned around and left, leaving the Khan alone looking at the parchment roll in his hand with a confused gaze, for a long time. His gaze became firm again: "Don't blame me, if you want to blame you for being too popular, although you have merit, but, you deserve to die more, don't blame me, after you die, I will quickly send your family down to accompany you, don't worry that you will be lonely, no, absolutely not." ”
…………………………
In Lingzhou City, Li Daozong looked at the report in his hand and the messenger soldiers in front of him, and asked in disbelief: "Are you saying that Suning led the army to the territory of the Western Turks, and planned to help that Ashina Ni to kill the Great Khan of the Western Turks, and then support Ashina Ni and let Ashina Ni be the Great Khan of the Western Turks?" ”
The messenger nodded: "Exactly!" ”
Li Daozong suddenly put down the letter in his hand and said angrily: "Nonsense! Suning: This is nonsense! What right does he have to provoke civil wars in other countries! Do you know what a serious mistake this is! Do you know how much risk Datang has to take for this! In case of failure, not only his life cannot be guaranteed, but Datang's safety will be threatened! There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Western Turks, and at this time the Tang Dynasty is not prepared at all, what will they do to fight against the Western Turks?! It's nonsense! This bastard! I'm going to cut off his head! Chop off his head! ”
The messenger soldier lowered his head and said: "Su Changshi thinks that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the internal political situation in the Western Turks is unstable, and the position of the Khan of the Great Khan is unstable, so he will think of instigating the Hu Xue Department to disturb the sight of my Tang Dynasty, and to use the power of the Western Turkic State to deter the Tang Dynasty, so that the Tang Dynasty does not dare to act rashly, so that he can bring back the Hu Xue Department, establish prestige, and stabilize his position."
He decided that Datang had just finished a big battle, and had just fought a big war with the Eastern Turks, and his strength was damaged, and there was no way to recover his strength and fight with the Western Turks in a short period of time, so this was his chance, and he was also worried that Datang would interfere in the internal affairs of the Western Turks, so he would strike first, so that when Datang recovered, he would have already recovered, and when the time came, it would definitely not be a good thing for Datang to face a unified Western Turk. ”
Li Daozong frowned, he felt that what Suning said was not wrong, there was nothing wrong at all, on the contrary, Li Daozong thought about it carefully, with his political vision and military vision, he quickly analyzed it, Suning was very right in his analysis, his analysis was not wrong at all, according to this line of thought, it was really like this, the Khan wanted to stabilize his position by this, and saw that the Tang Dynasty had just fought a big war, and he didn't have enough strength to have another big war, so he chose such an opportunity.
If it is really left alone, for the Tang Dynasty, the next time it will have to face, but it is a unified and powerful Western Turk, the strong foundation of the Western Turks created by the Tongye Hu Khan, almost controlling the entire Western Regions, the Western Turks are unprecedentedly powerful, compared to the Eastern Turks under the leadership of Jieli, who is a fool who is dedicated to studying dance skills, the Western Turks are more troublesome, if you lose such a unique opportunity, lose such a leader who is closer to the Tang Dynasty, and take this opportunity to control the Western Turks, Then it is a huge loss for Datang!
But how sure can Suning control the Western Turks? That's right, this khan was established with the help of Datang, and after that, he will definitely seek the help of Datang and ask Datang to canonize him, but this is all superficial, how can Datang meddle in the internal affairs of a country? Even many southern tribes, the Tang Dynasty, can only collect taxes, but cannot interfere in internal affairs, and the Tang Dynasty does not have the strength to control some small tribes, let alone such a huge country as the Western Turkic Khanate.
Want to win without a fight? Want Shiyan to control a country by non-war means to avoid the disaster of the sword? What kind of skills do you have to make you say such outrageous words? Did you know that it is much harder to control a country than to attack it? Too young, too young, so many victories in a row, so much credit, makes you swell, right? You also brought the sons of the four princes with you, what if something happens? You don't have to come back, you can cut yourself! Cut yourself!
Li Daozong waved his hand angrily and drove the soldier out, slapped the table with both hands, looking at the table produced by the Su family, Li Daozong's face suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and at that time, what Suning said......
Once we succeed, we'll all be famous! The greater the risk, the greater the reward. (To be continued......)
