Chapter 418 Isn't this much better than mixing in Chang'an?
At this time, Jieli Khan's face was full of confusion.
Yi Lizhen and Yi Nan on the side looked confused. What nonsense did the Han people say...
Why does Khan look like this?
Both of them looked at Zheng Xuannian, "Military advisor, this is..."
"I wonder what the military intentions are?"
"Yeah." Zheng Xuannian paused and then said his plan.
"Why do you have such sad faces? Now our Turkic army is trapped here, with no supplies of food, grass, or winter clothing or firewood. This is an emergency. Since it is an emergency, it is time to take extraordinary measures!"
"There is no other way now, but there are still many herders' tents near Yinshan Mountain..."
Speaking of this, Zheng Xuannian said no more.
This kind of ingenious plan is something that only the great scholars like us can come up with, but these Turkic barbarians will definitely not think of it.
To put it bluntly, it would take them a long time to digest it. At this moment, Zheng Xuannian was waiting for everyone to digest it.
However, after a while...
Yi Lizhen and Yi Nan still looked puzzled.
"Military, what on earth is going on?"
"There are people at the foot of the mountain, but they are all poor people. There are not many cattle and sheep to find, right?"
"Haha, your situation is too small, isn't it? Although there are few cattle and sheep, but... isn't this man also a cattle and sheep?"
"What we lack now is food; what we have is soldiers!"
"To solve the problem of food now, of course we have to use troops. We will go directly down the mountain, capture these people, and sell them to the Central Plains... Don't we already have this food?"
After Zheng Xuannian finished speaking, he smiled proudly.
How can ordinary people come up with such an awesome strategy?
Just this idea and this pattern are not something that ordinary people can have.
But the next moment, Yi Lizhen and Yi Nan's faces suddenly turned ugly.
Matt, is this okay?
Isn’t my Turkic life worthless to this point?!
…
Even though Mobei is a barbaric place, even in the primitive belief in the Immortal Heaven, it is despised to take good people as slaves.
Therefore, as soon as Zheng Xuannian made it clear and Yi Lizhen and Yi Nan realized what the "clever plan" was, their expressions immediately changed.
The two of them even looked at Zheng Xuannian's expression with a hint of hatred.
This man simply does not regard the Turks as human beings!
But the two of them were about to have a fight, and at this moment...
Zheng Xuannian raised his head and glanced at the two of them with disdain.
"Women's kindness!"
"Don't even think about it. We are the orthodox main force of the Turkic army. If one day the military power is dissipated and these poor and untouchable people at the foot of the mountain have no one to protect them, will there be a good end?"
"Besides, these people tend to herd on weekdays, and often rob passing merchants during their spare time. We are going south this time, and there are many of them in the army."
"Why, follow the Khan..." Zheng Xuannian said, while cupping his hands towards Jieli Khan, but at the same time his head did not turn at all, "...sending troops to plunder and share the property, just smiling."
"Now that I have to sacrifice my life for the Khan, I'm going to start making maimai skin?"
"snort!"
Zheng Xuannian snorted coldly, "Sell! You can sell anything!"
Yi Nan and Yi Lizhen were stunned by Zheng Xuannian's reprimand.
Although it sounds outrageous at first, but think about it carefully...
It doesn’t seem unreasonable…
"The military advisor...what he said makes sense..."
"Haha, do you have anything to say?"
"This... I will be speechless in the end!"
The two of them looked at Jieli Khan as they spoke, "Khan, how are you doing?"
Now let’s see what Jieli Khan means!
Zheng Xuannian chuckled and said, "Khan, those who want to achieve great things must not stick to small details!"
"But……"
Jieli Khan was still hesitant.
Mudd, this is easy to say, but really heartbreaking to do...
After all, I had reorganized all the tribes in half of Mobei and made a good promise. From now on, the people will be my sons and daughters.
Now that the situation is not going well, they start to sell other people's food as food. Isn't this a bit...
Jieli Khan always feels a little scared. Is it possible that this matter will not have consequences?
and……
There are so many beauties at the foot of Yinshan Mountain. Mobei is already sparsely populated, and now we are sold to the Han people as slaves. Isn’t it...
Zheng Xuannian came from a wealthy family and had always been the best among men. He quickly understood Jieli Khan's concerns by observing his words and expressions, and immediately patted the latter's shoulder.
"Khan, don't we have no other option now? Sell a few young men for food and sell a few girls for supplies. If you think about it at best, isn't this also equivalent to a marriage? Which wise emperor has not made a marriage since ancient times?
,right."
"Besides, if you don't sell the ready-made population, wouldn't you be a fool? Anyway, our team will really collapse. From now on, we will still be the people of the Tang State. Plant Li Er's fields and pay taxes to Li Er..."
"That's what it is anyway, why don't we make some fun first..."
According to Zheng Xuannian,
Jieli Khan was always worried, but... seeing that the current situation could only be like this.
If you continue to cut off, you will surely suffer chaos!
then……
Jieli Khan took a breath.
"The military advisor is very intelligent and I admire him. From now on, the military advisor will be my prime minister of the Turks!"
After saying that, he stood up directly and cupped his hands towards Zheng Xuannian.
"I still hope that the Prime Minister will not refuse!"
Zheng Xuannian was stunned when he heard the word "prime minister".
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
I have worked in the Tang Dynasty for so long. How many people have I opened the door to, how many aristocratic families have I helped to make money, and how many families have been saved from misfortune?
As a result, with so much credit, he was already a minister of Dali Temple at an old age, and he was demoted.
Is this reasonable?
This is unreasonable!
Very unreasonable!
It’s simply too unreasonable!
But now...
Zheng Xuannian only regretted that he did not come to the Turks earlier and follow the Khan to gallop...
Ma De, isn't this much better than living in Chang'an?
He immediately agreed and imitated the expression in the Three Kingdoms and said solemnly and moved,
"Khan's kindness of knowing me, I can't repay him in my lifetime! In this case..."
"Yes, Wei Chen will write a letter and send it to his home, take over his wife and children, and serve the Khan for the rest of his life!"
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Seeing that Zheng Xuannian was "sensible", Jieli Khan immediately felt more relieved!
Yi Lizhen and Yi Nan on the side also breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, if a Turk comes up with the idea of selling people to raise food and military supplies, then it is at most a question of whether the strategy itself is good or not.
If he was just a Han strategist, it would not be impossible for him to be used in the army. At the time, Emperor Shi Le of Hou Zhao had many Han advisers around him.
But now... when a Han military advisor proposes such a strategy, it is inevitable that people will be suspicious.
But since the other party was so polite, Yi Lizhen and Yi Nan also understood.
These are my own people from the Great Turks!
It's a pity, it would be great if all Han people understood justice so well...
The strategy was decided upon a few days later.
The Turkic camp, after being lifeless for nearly a month, once again started full-scale military operations...
At the same time, on the other side, in Li Sheng's camp...
