Originally, Li Chengqian said his mouth was dry and he was about to drink some water to moisten his throat.
But what this guy said made Li Chengqian spit out all the tea in his mouth.
He looked at Zhao Youlin with a puzzled face and said, "You...what did you say?"
"Is this position mine?"
At this moment, Li Chengqian really couldn't understand what Zhao Youlin said. ??
What does he mean?
Does he want to give himself the entire Western Turks?
Is this guy crazy or stupid?
But at this moment, Zhao Youlin was extremely serious.
He said bluntly: "I am serious and I am not joking with you."
"If something happens to me in this battle, then the Western Turks will be yours."
Speaking of this, Zhao Youlin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I told you before."
"At first I didn't know what responsibility was. I only knew that living well was truly good."
"But since I came to this place, since I made those brothers and friends."
"I just realized how heavy the burden is on my shoulders."
"Other people say that the Western Turks are vast and sparsely populated."
"That may be true."
"But no matter how vast the land is and sparsely populated, there are still 186 tribes and nearly 6 million people here."
Zhao Youlin looked up at Li Chengqian and said, "As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, you should know how difficult it is to feed everyone."
"As a vanguard against an aristocratic family, you know how difficult it is to face these tribes."
"I spent a lot of effort and spent many years to organize the situation like this."
"Just now, these more than 180 tribes were tightly bound together..."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian also fell silent.
Indeed, he understood Zhao Youlin very well and also knew his difficulties and suffering.
How can it be as easy as it seems to rule a huge country?
Not to mention anything else, just the trivial things every day, It can drive a person crazy.
The Western Turks are not like the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty at least had rules set by the monarchs of the past dynasties.
The people do things according to the rules, and the monarch also does things according to the rules. There are not many problems in this way.
But Western Turks are different.
Everything they are experiencing now is unprecedented in history.
They have never been ruled by the Han, and they have never acted according to Han rules.
Compared with Zhao Youlin, it may be easier for Li Chengqian.
After all, he was born with many things that others did not have.
He lacks reputation, and Li Shimin will create it for him.
He lacks fame, and Li Shimin will create it for him.
Even if he lacks prestige in the military, Li Shimin can still help him build it.
In contrast, Zhao Youlin is a complete pioneer.
After he came to Western Turks, every step he took had to be explored by himself.
No one taught him how to convince people.
No one taught him how to lead the country as a monarch.
So to a certain extent, it is really not easy for Zhao Youlin to get to where he is today.
Thinking of the past, Zhao Youlin couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
"But who can speak well about war?"
"Even the best generals may die on the battlefield one day."
"I also had to start planning for everything after my death."
"I don't want these tribes to fall apart immediately after my death and repeat the mistakes of the past."
"I don't want my brothers to have nowhere to live and nothing to eat after I die."
This is what Zhao Youlin cannot bear the most, and it is also what he is most reluctant to give up.
Before, he acted vigorously and resolutely, as if there was nothing in the world
Something worthy of his concern.
But the person he is now is no longer the person he was before.
He also has his own bonds and his own reluctance.
"Since you're here now, you should be able to tell."
"The situation within Western Turkestan is more complicated than you think."
"Other than Jia Yanzhang, I'm afraid there is no one else I can trust."
"As for Jia Yanzhang, he is more than capable of serving as a general, but as a monarch, it is really difficult for him."
"so……"
He looked at Li Chengqian blankly and said, "I hope you can help me shoulder my responsibilities..."
Hearing these words, Li Chengqian pursed his lips.
Then, he stopped joking and asked, "Why me?"
"Because you are the only capable friend I have."
When speaking, Zhao Youlin's eyes were very sincere.
Li Chengqian also did not hear the system prompt tone.
This also proves that what he said is true.
But Li Chengqian also fell silent.
After a long while, he shook his head and said, "I'm not suitable. You'd better find someone else."
After all, the two of them have been enemies for so long.
Even if he agreed, he would not be able to make everyone obey in the end.
He is not Zhao Youlin, and he does not have that prestige in Western Turks.
But Zhao Youlin grabbed his arm and said, "If you are not suitable, is there any suitable person in this world?"
"I know that you have been helping me take care of my mother all these years since I was gone."
"It's you who protect her secretly so that she won't be harmed by outsiders."
"Just do your friend a favor..."
At the end of the sentence, Zhao Youlin's tone really sounded like pleading.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but raise his head and smile bitterly. He said: "You are really going to make things difficult for me."
"I am the prince of the Tang Dynasty, not your prince of the Western Turks."
"How do I have the ability to subdue your men who are as strong as wild horses?"
Li Chengqian took a deep breath and said, "Don't be so pessimistic..."
"This battle is not as dangerous as you think."
"As long as you keep your mouth shut, just leave the rest to me."
After hearing this, Zhao Youlin also felt a little lonely.
And looking at his appearance, Li Chengqian also felt sad for no reason.
Immediately afterwards, he also pretended to smile and said: "Okay, show your confidence."
"You and I haven't decided who wins or loses yet."
"So after this battle is over, we will have to continue fighting in the future."
Li Chengqian raised the corner of his mouth and said, "And your boy must survive for me. I don't want to take care of an enemy's wife and children after taking care of him."
Hearing this, Zhao Youlin was stunned.
After he came to his senses, he raised his lips and said, "With your words, I feel relieved."
After saying this, Zhao Youlin slowly turned around and walked out of the tent.
When he walked outside the camp, Zhao Youlin looked back at Li Chengqian and said, "Our army will win this battle!"
Li Chengqian clenched his fist and waved at him: "With me here, we will definitely win!"
Then, the two looked at each other and smiled.
After Zhao Youlin left, Li Chengqian was also in a daze looking at the curtains blown by the wind.
At this time, Liu Qi walked in from outside.
He heard what was said in the tent just now.
At this moment, he couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, why don't you take the opportunity to take over the Western Turks?"
"What to pick up?"
"Do you think he's dead?"
Li Chengqian took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes and said, "Perhaps, he is just testing me..."
