"Khan, there is no need to worry, Yeon Gaisowen will not do anything to us."
"Oh? How can you see it?"
Zheng Xuannian was so relieved that Jieli Khan was also stunned.
What kind of medicine is sold in Yeon Gae Suwen's gourd? This is the top priority right now.
Isn't it strange that Zheng Xuannian is so relieved?
However, when Jieli Khan asked, Zheng Xuannian took a deep breath and told the truth.
"This Yeon Gaesumun is obviously a tyrant and should not be taken lightly. If such a person does not move, he will do so with thunderous force. A lover will make a name for himself and will not break his promise easily."
"But……"
Jieli Khan still looked worried, as if he had something to hide.
In fact, it is simple. If people refuse to break their promises, it is because of long-term interests. But if their interests require it, they can break their promises. Who can say this for sure?
Wouldn’t it be better to live based on other people’s faces?
However, Zheng Xuannian didn't seem worried about this.
"General, don't worry too much. Apart from this, even if Yeon Gaesowun annexes our troops, it won't be of much help to him."
"Khan might as well think about it. Back then, the king had 400,000 troops. If a small force of 4,000 people came to surrender, would Khan annex them?"
When Zheng Xuannian asked this question, Jieli Khan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
I really can't answer this question myself.
Because... if we want to settle accounts, in fact, Yi Lizhen, Yi Nan, and Bujia, who had already joined the Tang Dynasty, all had their own tribes at first, but in the end they were dispersed and annexed by their own people.
Then who knows whether Yeon Gaesomun will annex himself?
However, Zheng Xuannian seemed to see Jieli Khan's hesitation immediately, and smiled and said,
"Khan doesn't have to think too much. When Khan integrated the power of the grasslands, it was because Khan had already conquered all the grasslands, and reorganizing various ministries was the way to improve national power."
"Nowadays, in addition to the Tang Kingdom and Goguryeo in Mobei, there are also many tribes operating on the grasslands. Although Goguryeo is powerful and has strong mobilization power, it can mobilize more than 500,000 troops compared to Khan's original army of 400,000.
"
"But on the other hand... Goguryeo can mobilize an army of 500,000, but what about Tang? Does the king think that Tang can't... And the most terrifying thing about Tang, the king also knows, is the divine weapon of heavenly thunder, which Goguryeo has
Something that doesn’t exist.”
"Now Goguryeo does not have the divine weapon of heavenly thunder. No matter how strong its troops and horses are, it will still be under great pressure when facing the Tang army. At this time, how can Goguryeo have the time to think about it?"
After analyzing this moment, Zheng Xuannian smiled slightly.
"If Yeon Gaesomun wants to avoid the disaster of destroying the country, he must do two things with maximum strength."
"The first of them is, of course, the purchase of Goguryeo's own heavenly thunder artifact, which is consistent with the Turks."
Jieli Khan nodded, indeed...
Although the Tang State had a lot of people who controlled strings and could be considered to have strong soldiers and horses, the biggest difference between the Tang State and the Hu people was that...
The Han people had cultivated fields, which could stably produce food and a large number of talented people, which became the soil that breeds things like thunder artifacts.
Although the strong bows and crossbows of the Han people are also an advantage, if things like bows and crossbows are not impossible to imitate on the grassland, then the thunder artifact...
This is really something that not everyone can do.
In the future, I'm afraid, not to mention just Mobei, but also within a larger scope, all races in the world... once they are unable to produce such weapons on their own, they will all have to be suppressed by the Tang army.
Under this situation, Goguryeo naturally could not take it lightly. Of course, this was actually the reason why Jieli Khan came to defect to Goguryeo this time.
but……
"What about one more thing?"
"The other thing is compilation."
"Khan, there is no need to be nervous. If Goguryeo wants to fight against the Tang Dynasty, it must gather enough people. Without the foundation of numbers, it is impossible for civil and military skills to be effective."
"To achieve this goal, Goguryeo must extensively absorb the power from all aspects of the entire Mobei, the sky, the south and the sea, and cannot be satisfied with just the Khans and horses."
"If the Khan's subordinates annex Goguryeo now... then what else can he do to attract other tribes to join him? By then he will not be able to absorb any power."
Zheng Xuannian’s advice,
Jieli Khan's eyes gradually opened wide, and he suddenly realized!
Understood……
So that’s the truth!
Be it Goguryeo or Yeongaesomun, it’s not that I don’t have to worry about them wanting to annex. They may indeed have it, but there’s no need to worry about this whole thing.
Because in the final analysis, Goguryeo's national power was not strong enough to compete with today's Tang Dynasty, so they had the intention of annexing, and they were afraid of being seen by the world!
"I see……"
Jieli Khan felt relieved instantly.
Since Goguryeo has objective reasons not to annex itself, then I really don’t have anything to worry about!
Of course, maybe one day, everyone will unite to fight against the Tang Dynasty and succeed, and move south together to take over, and their pursuit of the throne will be completed. There may indeed be the problem of annexation, but that time will be a long time later.
But at least for now, the Turks are safe!
Jieli Khan, as well as the two generals Yi Lizhen and Yi Nan beside him, felt much more at ease now.
but……
Before these people had time to celebrate, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door of the house where Yeon Gaesumun settled them.
Everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look, and then saw a Xianbei soldier walking into the room. After saluting, he said, "Sir, General Yuan invites you!"
Yuan Gaesuwen's surname is Yuan.
When Jieli Khan and others heard this, they immediately looked at each other.
Zheng Xuannian was smiling, and several others looked at Zheng Xuannian with shock on their faces.
The combat experience with the Tang army is the only capital the Turks have now... Goguryeo definitely values it very much.
...Is this coming?
Everyone was still shocked, but at this time Jieli Khan saluted the soldiers and said with a smile,
"Stand a moment, strong man, I'll go right away!"
"Everyone, let's go!"
Everyone exchanged glances, although they were a little nervous...
But what is supposed to come will always come, and combat experience still has to be provided.
but……
What surprised Jieli Khan and others was...
After arriving at Yeon Gae Su Wen's residence, he was first entertained, and then...
This Yuengai Suwen asked a question that surprised everyone in Turks.
"You have been dealing with the Tang Army for a long time. Among the Tang Army, I have long heard of Li Sheng's powerful methods and ruthless tactics. It's really hard for you all."
"But I would like to ask you all, do you know what happened to the Tang Dynasty's recent shipbuilding industry in Hangzhou..."
Yeon Gae So Moon was polite and smiling.
But when he asked this question, Jieli Khan and others were immediately confused.
