Chapter 188 Western Turks

Chapter 188 Western Turks

"Hate cannot be eliminated, the best way is to keep them afraid forever!"

"According to me, if you wait for a year, you will no longer need to use force to suppress it!"

"After the Tubo people get used to it, even if the exchange ratio is adjusted back to one-to-one, no one will deliberately hoard highland barley anymore."

"Has Li Er been kicked in the head by a donkey?!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard what he said.

Isn't this a bit... too cruel and cold-blooded?

But if you think about it carefully, it doesn’t seem unreasonable!

The Tubo country was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty. Would treating them kindly reduce hatred?

No matter what they do, it will take a very long time and several generations of efforts to completely control and assimilate Tibet!

Several people looked at each other and finally understood!

This step is indeed a bit too hasty!

But there was no time to continue thinking about this matter now. Seeing that Su Chen continued to rant, Wei Zheng hurriedly said: "The matter is now over, there is no point in talking about it."

"From the current point of view, the Tuyuhun matter is indeed a difficult problem for us in Datang."

"According to the current situation, it will take two months for the new grain to be harvested."

"But if it's delayed until two months later, there's no telling what kind of chaos the eleven continents on the border will be in!"

"The Holy Emperor is quite troubled by this matter!"

Su Chen suddenly stood up and said with a headache: "Forget it, I will be a good person and do it to the end, and help him Li Er once!"

Hearing this, the four people's eyes suddenly lit up!

"Do you have a way to solve this problem?" Changsun Wuji asked impatiently.

Su Chen's eyes flashed and he said coldly: "Our Tang Dynasty is such a prosperous country with strong military and horses!"

"These barbarians are just holding a broken sword and riding a broken horse, and they dare to cross the grassland to threaten the Tang Dynasty. Is it possible that Yelang is arrogant?"

"It is their honor to be granted surrender by the Tang Dynasty!"

"If I, the Tang Dynasty, don't speak up, how can he dare to make his own decisions?"

Having said this, Su Chen turned to His Majesty Li Er and said, "Old Li, tell the court for me."

"This battle must be fought. Don't send people to negotiate peace with them!"

"The day they crossed the Qilian Mountains was the day they died!"

"This time we must kill those grasslands until their vitality persists for three years, until they are completely frightened!"

"Only in this way can these barbarians truly have a long memory!"

As soon as these words came out, several people suddenly felt heroic, and the blood in their chests surged rapidly!

Even such a steady person as Fang Xuanling can't help but turn red!

The military spirit and confidence revealed in Su Chen's words made his whole body tremble!

Now he finally understood why His Majesty Li Er refused to send anyone to negotiate peace with Tuyuhun!

It seems that these two people have the same idea. If they really send people to delay the peace talks, it will be an insult to Datang!

Taking a deep breath to calm down his excitement, Changsun Wuji continued: "What are you going to do?"

"Do you still have enough food in Sujiazhuang to support the army for a month?

Su Chen thought for a while, shook his head and said: "There is not a lot of food stored in the warehouse, even if it is all taken out, it will not be much."

"I have another plan for this matter, but I still need more information."

His Majesty Li Er spoke slowly: "What do you want to know?"

"You might as well tell us and see if we know."

Su Chen said: "It is said that Tuyuhun sent our troops this time. Do you know what they are?"

Changsun Wuji said: "Tuyuhun sent more than 200,000 troops, consisting of Tuyuhun, Xue Yantuo and the remaining Tubo army."

Su Chen nodded and said, "Aren't there any Western Turks?"

"Is the Ashina family involved in this matter?"

During the Western Turks' heyday, their sphere of influence was very broad.

Stretching from the Liaohai Sea in the east to the Caspian Sea in the west, from the Mongolian Gobi in the south to Lake Baikal in the north, it is thousands of miles long from east to west and only five to six miles from north to south. It is a truly big country.

They sent troops to various countries in the Western Region, collected grain and taxes, and controlled the Silk Road. They were the most powerful nomadic country in the western part of the Tang Dynasty.

During the Wude period, Yehu Khan, the leader of the Western Turks, proposed to Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, for marriage.

Although Li Yuan agreed, the marriage failed to succeed because Jieli Khan of the Eastern Turks blocked it.

The Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks have each expanded over the years, and have not had any major conflicts yet, and their relationship is relatively relaxed.

Therefore, after hearing Su Chen's question, Changsun Wuji was very confused and asked: "Why did you mention them suddenly?"

"Because in my plan, they must also participate." Su Chen said with a smile.

After hearing Changsun Wuji's answer, Su Chen was determined!

Since the Western Turks are not involved in this matter, then his plan is absolutely foolproof!

“Involve the Western Turks?”

Wei Zheng frowned deeply and asked, "Do you want the Western Turks to cooperate with our Tang army and raid our Tuyuhun army from the rear?"

Su Chen smiled and said: "That's right!"

"Bringing the Western Turks into the mix will make this war more chaotic, and Tuyuhun will definitely have no time to take care of himself!"

"In this way, if we sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, won't we have enough time to wait for the rice harvest?"

"When they are both defeated, I, the Tang Dynasty, will pick up the pieces!"

After hearing Su Chen's plan, Wei Zheng felt bad!

He frowned and said: "During the Wude period, Ye Hu, the Khan of the Western Turks, did want to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty."

"But it didn't succeed in the end. Do you know this?"

Hearing this, Su Chen was very surprised and said: "Old Wei, you can do it, you actually know so much!"

"Of course I know what you said."

"In this case, the Western Turks cannot be our allies in the Tang Dynasty."

"Moreover, Tuyuhun is their tributary country, so how could they send troops to attack our army in Tuyuhun from the rear?"

Su Chen changed the topic and said: "But, I can give them a reason to come to fight Tuyuhun!"

"How do you proceed with this statement?"

Changsun Wuji couldn't help but ask, and then said: "As far as I know, the relationship between Tuyuhun Xue Yantuo and the Western Turkic Royal Court has always been good."

"They provide tens of thousands of cattle and sheep to the Western Turks every year."

"The territory of the Western Turks is already wide enough. If it expands further, it will not be able to manage it."

"Because of this, Western Turks, Tuyuhun and Xue Yantuo have been getting along very harmoniously for the past ten years!"

"He has no reason to help me, Datang!"

Su Chen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Old Sun, you used a word wrong."

"What word?" Chang Sun Wuji looked confused.

"help!"

Su Chen said: "Why should Datang use him to help?"

"and……"

Su Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Since I have decided to take action, is it too little to only kill Ou Tuyuhun and Xue Yantuo?"
