Chapter 9 The mind of the Turks, came to urge food
The seven major families in Chang'an City are currently discussing this issue.
This group of people are all old foxes. What kind of storms and waves have they not seen before?
There are also several ancestors of the family who are over 100 years old.
When I heard that they were being played by the emperor, I felt like they were being played by children.
Such a simple truth actually made these people play around, and they simply didn't take them all seriously!
"Old ancestors, it's all my fault that my grandson accidentally fell into the emperor's scheme.
Please punish me, my ancestors! Please punish me, my ancestors!"
"Okay, now that everything has been said, you can't let me wait to go back on my promise?
Prepare all the food and money. If anyone comes to the court tomorrow, give it directly to them.
You must remember that our seven major families in the Central Plains are of the same spirit, and we must not get into a big fight over this matter!"
These seven major families all grew up step by step in the Central Plains.
Through the past dynasties, some clans have been submerged by history, while others have survived history.
Especially the seven of them are the strongest.
The seven major families are married to each other and are united because they all understand the same truth.
If we want to prosper and develop together, we must maintain a consistent pace.
If one family is destroyed, it means that the other six families are not far from the edge of destruction.
Everyone is a human being, except for some things that are not particularly important and will cause some competition.
If there are other issues involving the core interests of each of their families, the seven major families will remain consistent.
In this way, the core interests can be protected without any problems!
"This little emperor is quite capable.
He is much more powerful than his father.
If his father had not been indecisive, he would not have had the Xuanwumen mutiny later and both of his sons died tragically.
When he was in power, Li Yuan wanted to restrict the rights of these clans and push the Tang Dynasty to a new height.
Just by doing this, it would come into contact with them and it was the interests of each family. How could everyone let him succeed?
Now his father has abdicated and the throne is in the hands of his son.
Unexpectedly, his son was more cunning and cunning than his father.
I hope that the emperor will just do his job well and never touch their core interests.
If not, they wouldn't mind another late Sui Dynasty.
Just when the undercurrent was surging throughout Chang'an City.
Turkic royal court.
Jili Khan summoned a group of tribal leaders and were talking about the damage this year.
This year's heavy snowfall, if we compare the Central Plains and the Turks, the snow in the Central Plains is nothing more than drizzle.
The heavy snow in Turks still covers the sky even today.
Most of the Turkic people made a living as nomads, and some of them integrated the culture of the Tang Dynasty and built cities to grow food.
However, this group is a minority, and the vast majority of them are still grazing on horseback.
"Khan, our tribe has lost 5,000 cattle and 20,000 people. Please make the decision, Khan."
"Khan, our tribe has lost 2,000 cattle, 2,000 sheep, and 3,000 horses, and our people have suffered countless injuries. Please make the decision, Khan!"
Inside the camp, each tribal leader talked about the tragic situation of his own tribe.
This heavy snowfall caused heavy damage to various tribes.
Fortunately, after the cattle and sheep froze to death, they immediately sent people to slaughter them, skin them and freeze them in the snow so that they could be eaten by everyone.
It's just that this kind of loss is just for one tribe. There are several Turkic tribes, and each tribe has suffered such heavy losses.
Let each of them be filled with resentment!
"Well, the Khan already knows about this.
Do you think that your tribe is the only one who has suffered such heavy losses?
Ben Khan's tribe has suffered more losses than you. Will this immortal god not bless me this year?
Don’t you want me, the Turk, to get through this difficulty?”
Just when everyone is talking, you say something, I say something, you say something, I say something, during this heavy snow.
A tribal leader made a suggestion.
"Khan, the spies have brought news that there is such a heavy snowfall in our Turks, but in the Tang Dynasty, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.
Why does Datang want to occupy such a good territory? But we have to live here?
If you ask me, I will lead the troops and destroy the Tang Dynasty directly.
This way we can also enjoy the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.
Not only that, the women of the Tang Dynasty can also warm my bed for me.
Now think about it, the scent on their bodies is much more pleasant than the smell of mutton on us women."
"Khan, let's fight. Call my Turkic son-in-law to go and conquer the Tang Dynasty.
This time, the Tang Dynasty will be completely wiped out."
The Turkic soldiers were filled with righteous indignation, and it seemed that the destruction of the Tang Dynasty was an easy thing to do.
"Everyone, the Tang people are not something we can easily deal with.
Do you remember the covenant we signed with the Tang Dynasty?"
Back then, Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Rebellion and took the opportunity to seize the throne of the Tang Dynasty.
The spies in Chang'an City quickly spread the news to their Turkic tribes.
After hearing the news, Jili Khan led the Turkic soldiers all the way south, destroying many cities and directly attacking Chang'an City.
At that time, the Turks were very ambitious and wanted to completely occupy the entire Chang'an.
As a result, the Turks took over the Central Plains, and the land in the Central Plains was a piece of fat, which made them, the Turks, very greedy.
But what happened next made them feel unprepared.
What he didn't expect was that Datang had already prepared for battle!
He, Li Shimin, even captured the envoys he sent, and led a group of civil servants and generals to confront him on the bank of the Weishui River.
The Turks were weaker than the Tang Dynasty in attacking cities.
If they cannot win a quick victory and start a war of attrition, they will not be a match for the Tang Dynasty.
After weighing the pros and cons, Geely Khan signed an alliance with Datang again.
Only after Datang contributed money did they return home.
Today's Tang Dynasty is different from the past, and the Turks have also suffered heavy losses.
It would not be a wise move to start a battle with Datang at this time.
"Everyone, the Khan already knows what you are talking about.
But now our tribe has suffered heavy losses. If we attack rashly, we will fall into the trap of the Tang people.
Hasn’t the money and food that Datang is planning to donate this year haven’t been sent over yet?”
"Khan, no."
"Come here, convey my order and send envoys to Chang'an City to collect food supplies."
"It's Khan!"
I hope you people from the Tang Dynasty will not be ignorant of praise. If not, I, the Turkic son-in-law, will definitely conquer the Tang Dynasty! This chapter has been completed!
