Winter goes and spring comes, and soon March comes. The earth returns to spring, everything revives, and full of vitality.

However, a war is approaching quietly and attracts attention from the world.

Mobei, Uighur camp.

The Uighur leader Bili Zheng discussed major events with a group of ministers.

"Everyone, the woman Wu Zetian mobilized heavy troops to the north to completely resolve the Turks. She sent people deep into the desert to discuss with me and asked me to send troops to assist him and attack the Turks together. What do you think?" Bili asked loudly.

Joining the Uighurs and jointly working together to the Turks, which was beneficial to the Tang Dynasty. Wu Zetian had already sent people into the desert to convey her will. Bili agreed at that time and patted her chest to promise that she would send troops. The Tang envoy Huan returned happily and replied to the order.

"The promises of the Tang people cannot be counted, and we cannot be fooled by the cunning Tang people."

"Yes! The Tang people are cunning and treacherous, and they want us to kill each other with the Turks. They are fishermen and want to get something for nothing."

"That's right! We can't believe the Tang people. What I mean is that we sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, allowing the Tang Dynasty to fight to the death with the Turks. When they are exhausted, we will suddenly send troops and attack hard, and we will definitely get a lot of benefits."

The ministers talked about their ideas in a verbal way, and for a moment, there were shouts.

"Yeah." Bili nodded and said, "You are very good, and that's what I mean. The reason why I promised the Tang envoy was to let them kill each other so that we could profit from it. If the Turks were defeated, we would send troops to seize the cattle, sheep, and horses of the Turks' land, and get these. We will become stronger quickly and be able to command the desert."

Bi Li's eyes were glittering. He was quite proud and said, "If the Tang Dynasty fails, the Turks will likely come to Mobei. At that time, we will be in trouble. Therefore, we must be prepared. If we can help the Tang Dynasty, we will help. If we can't help, we will retreat north quickly."

If Mochuo wants to restore the country, he must take down the Uighurs, otherwise, he cannot be said to restore the country. Therefore, the victory of the Tang Dynasty will be even more beneficial to the Uighurs.

If we could help the Tang Dynasty, the Uighurs would be willing to help. If the situation was unfavorable, it would be better to retreat to the north and preserve their strength.

"Okay! Just do it!" The ministers agreed loudly.

In Mobei, the camp with the ninth surname Tiele was very large and elegant.

Leader Tiel was discussing military operations with a group of ministers.

The Uighurs are actually also a branch of Tiel, but the Uighurs are very powerful and have already become independent.

"Call you here to discuss with you." Leader Tiele looked around his ministers and said, "You all know that the Tang Dynasty and the Turks will fight. What should we do? Wu Zetian's woman sent an envoy to see me. She promised many benefits to us send troops. Join forces with the Tang Dynasty to deal with the Turks. Mochuo wanted to restore the country. It would be a matter of time before he could rush to the north. For this reason, I have promised the Tang envoy that we are willing to send troops. Don't worry, I am empty and windy."

Leader Tiele was also a cunning person and could not be used as a gun envoy for the Tang Dynasty.

"Mochuo is determined to restore the country. It is only a matter of time before he rushes his troops north, which is not good for us. I mean, we can help the Tang Dynasty deal with the Turks, which is also helping ourselves. But we must be careful and not use it for the Tang Dynasty. We must retain as much strength as possible."

"Also, we have to wait and wait for the best time to go out. It is best to let both the Tang Dynasty and the Turks suffer losses, which is the most beneficial to us."

"That's right. If the Tang Dynasty and the Turks were both defeated, we can take advantage of the situation to rise and seize the Turks' land, with many people, cattle, sheep, and horses. With these, we can grow rapidly, our strength will increase greatly, and we can go south to Hetao and attack the Tang Dynasty."

"I like attacking the Tang Dynasty. I heard that the Tang Dynasty was so rich that they were rich. Some of them were gold, silver and jewelry, some were beautiful silk, delicious tea, and women with fine skin and tender flesh."

The ministers made suggestions with lingering words, one was more sinister than the other.

"Very good." Leader Tiele nodded in his ears, and said with great satisfaction: "It is best to make both the Turks and the Tang Dynasty suffer losses. If you can't, try to make the Tang Dynasty win as much as possible. Although the Tang Dynasty is not a good thing, it is better than the Turks' victory. If it really doesn't work, I will move northwards and be far away."

In the northeast, Songmo Protectorate, Khitan leader Sun Wanrong was discussing military operations with a group of ministers.

The Khitan surrendered to the Tang Dynasty during the Tang Dynasty, and later raised troops to rebel against the Tang Dynasty during the Wu Zetian period, which kicked off the growth of the Khitan. By the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Khitan finally became a climate, established the Liao Kingdom, causing disaster for hundreds of years.

The leader of the Khitan when the Khitan was launched was Li Jinzhong. This man was very talented, brave and decisive, and won many battles. However, he had already died of illness. After Li Jinzhong's death, the position of the Khitan leader was inherited by Li Jinzhong's brother-in-law Sun Wanrong.

Sun Wanrong is tall and shrewd, and is highly appreciated by Li Jinzhong and holds great power. It is natural to become the leader after Li Jinzhong's death.

"Everyone, don't say anything, you know that the Tang Dynasty and the Turks will fight. This is our opportunity, don't miss it." Sun Wanrong's eyes were shining with gleam, and he was very excited, saying: "In the past, whenever we wanted to attack the Tang Dynasty, we would fight alone and could not stop the Tang Dynasty's army. Now, the Tang Dynasty's army has been held back by the Turks and cannot deal with us. This is our God-given opportunity. What should we do? You can speak freely."

Although the Khitan rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and had won many victories, it was difficult to stop the Tang Dynasty's army. Compared with the Tang Dynasty, the Khitan was not bad, with many words, wealth, technology, and army, no matter which aspect, it was far from comparable to the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty wanted to completely solve the Turks, but it was impossible to deal with the Khitan in a short period of time. This was a good opportunity for the Khitan. All the ministers were full of heat and excited. Mo Ming was as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

"I thought we should take this opportunity to attack the Tang Dynasty in large numbers, kill as many as possible, conquer cities and land as much as possible, and plunder as much as possible. In addition to gold and silver treasures, the people should not miss it. The more you should, the better."

"I agree with this. We have too few words, and plundering is a good way to increase the words."

The Tang Dynasty was so rich that for the Khitans, if they did not attack the Tang Dynasty in the face of such a god-given opportunity, they would not be the Khitan. Of course, not all of this, and some people have other objections.

"I oppose the attack on the Tang Dynasty. We should take advantage of the Tang Dynasty's inability to deal with us and launch a large-scale attack on the land of Liaodong, and it is best to occupy the entire Songmo land."

"That's right! As long as we occupy the Songmo land, we will be very strong and we will no longer have to be afraid of the Tang Dynasty. Even if the Tang Dynasty defeats the Turks and frees up our hands to deal with us, we can move forward and retreat freely."

"Thinking back then, when Goryeo wanted to occupy the Songmo land, it was first attacked by Emperor Yang of Sui, and then attacked by Emperor Taizong of Tang, and Goryeo was eventually destroyed. The reason is that they did not find a good opportunity. Now, our opportunity has come, don't miss it."

"Yes. If we had taken the land of Songmo in normal times, the Tang Dynasty would definitely not be allowed and would send troops to deal with us. Now, the Tang Dynasty's army was restrained by the Turks and could not take care of us. If we missed such a good opportunity, we would regret it to death."

Emperor Yang of Sui attacked Goryeo, which wasted the people and damaged their wealth, which eventually led to chaos in the world. The Sui Dynasty was destroyed because of this, criticized by later generations, calling him not caring about the people's strength and calling him a tyrant. In fact, this was unfair.

At that time, Goryeo was not only North Korea today, but also a large part of the Northeast. Goryeo was entrenched here, just to become a big deal. Once Goryeo became big, the consequences would be troublesome and would become a big deal. For example, the later Khitans, Jurchens, and Qing dynasties became a big deal if they got the Northeast?

Emperor Yang of Sui saw this threat, so he sent a large army to attack Goryeo. There was nothing wrong with this, but the only mistake was that there was something wrong with his method.

Does the little Goryeo need to mobilize so many troops?

Goryeo should definitely be destroyed and cannot be allowed to become a big shot. Emperor Taizong of Tang personally conquered Goryeo. After a series of attacks by the Tang Dynasty, Goryeo was destroyed and could not be harmed.

The Songmo land mentioned by the Khitan ministers refers to the entire Northeast.

"The Songmo land is big enough, but it is too cold and poor, there are not many people, and there are no beautiful silk and delicious tea. What is the use of it? I agree with the attack on the Tang Dynasty."

"The Tang Dynasty was indeed rich, but the Tang Dynasty had a strong city. Even if we attacked, how many cities could you capture? How many benefits could you get? Instead of stopping troops from being in a difficult city, it is better to attack Songmo and completely conquer Songmo."

The two factions blame each other and refuse to give in to each other.

"Okay." Sun Wanrong waved his right hand to stop the ministers from arguing, and said, "What you said makes sense. If we attack the Tang Dynasty now, we can get a lot of wealth and a lot of people, but there is one thing we cannot get, that is land. Without vast land, if we are attacked by the Tang Dynasty army, we will not even have a place to retreat. If we attack Songmo now, we have not much talk and a lot of wealth and money, but we only get land, it is still a word "poor".

These two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, making it difficult to choose.

"I thought about it and thought it would be better to take down Songmo Land." Sun Wanrong analyzed: "The Songmo Land is very poor, but it has vast land. Even if the Tang army comes to attack, we can still retreat and not be destroyed. If we attack the Tang Dynasty now, we can get a lot of people and wealth, but there is no way out. If the Tang Dynasty frees up its hands, it will be our period of destruction."

These words were already very thorough, and the ministers had no objection anymore.

"Of course, we can write a letter to Wu Zetian and are willing to surrender." Sun Wanrong's mouth curled up.

"No. We will never bow our heads to Wu Zetian." The ministers opposed in unison.

"Hehe." Sun Wanrong smiled a little treacherously and said, "This is just a superficial article, and I can't count it. Wu Zetian was unable to conquer us at this time. She would definitely accept our surrender letter with pleasure, and maybe she would reward us. We could also act like we wanted to help the Tang Dynasty fight against the Turks, and then quickly lead the Songmo land."
