Chapter 785 Why Don't You Rebel
"I've seen Youxian King!" Ashinasheer gave a slight salute.
"She'er, you and I are both Turkic royals, so you don't need to be polite." Tong'e said, waving his hands.
Ashinasheer naturally knew why Tong'e Set up was so enthusiastic, expressionless and silent.
It is true that the royal families of Eastern and Western Turks are all surnamed Ashin, but the two countries have been fighting all the year round. Although there is no blood feud, the relationship is not much better.
Seeing that Tong E set up such a gesture of friendship, Ashinasheer didn't react at all, and a trace of anger flashed across his face.
But right now we need the help of the [-] cavalry under Ashina Sheer, Tong Eshe could only suppress his anger, and said with a solemn face: "The Tang Dynasty has wiped out my [-] cavalry, and will definitely continue to go deep into the grassland. It is the time of my Turkic life and death, if I don’t work together, sooner or later I will be annexed by Datang one by one.”
"This time, I was ordered by the Great Khan to lead troops to assist King Youxian. As long as King Youxian's order is reasonable, I will obey." Ashinasher said lightly.
Tong Eshe breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words. What he was most worried about was that Ashinasheer would not be able to work hard, but Ashinasheer's words reassured him a lot.
"How do you think we should deal with Datang?" Tong Eshe asked.
"Don't Youxian King feel that Xue Yantuo is too idle?" Ashinasheer said.
Tong'e was startled, and did not speak, the grasslands knew that Ashina Sheer hated Xue Yantuo.
Ashinasheer sneered, "Youxian King wouldn't think I said that because I hate Xue Yantuo, would he?"
Although Tong Eshe thought so in his heart, he definitely wouldn't say it out loud, and said with a smile, "No, just keep talking."
Ashinasheer didn't bother with this issue either, and said: "Datang is short of horses. Although we have traded some from Western Turks and Xue Yantuo before, Datang still lacks horses, and there is simply not enough cavalry to fight on two fronts. Datang Sending more troops to the city near Xue Yantuo is nothing more than trying to hold Xue Yantuo back. Wait until the Western Turks are wiped out, and Xue Yantuo will be wiped out under double pressure."
"Since that's the case, why didn't Datang attack Xue Yantuo first? Instead, he crossed so far and attacked me, Western Turk?"
This is exactly what Tong Eshe was puzzled about. When he first heard the news that Datang sent troops to the grassland, he felt that Xue Yantuo must be the target of Datang.
After all, the Western Turks are too far away from the Tang Dynasty, so naturally there is no reason to seek further distance.
Ashinasheer sneered and said: "Youxian King thinks it is easier to deal with the split Western Turks or the complete Xue Yantuo? In addition, the Tang Dynasty will deal with the Western Turks first, and they can send more troops to the border to put pressure on Xue Yantuo, so that Xue Yantuo didn't dare to act rashly. But if you attack Xue Yantuo first, you will have to face the cooperation between Xue Yantuo and Western Turks, Datang naturally knows how to choose."
Tong E set up a gloomy face, and said, "Yi Nan probably hopes that the Great Tang will destroy the Western Turks, so that he can rule the grassland."
Ashinasheer shook his head and said: "Yi Nan should not be so short-sighted. He naturally knows that once the Tang Dynasty destroys the Western Turks, he will naturally not let him go. The reason why he does not send troops to help now is to let Datang and us consume each other's strength, and at the critical moment he is sending troops, and when Datang is defeated, he will have the opportunity to annex the Western Turks."
Tong E set up a cold snort, and said: "Yi Nan has a good idea. If he doesn't send troops to help this time, I will take my tribe back to Mobei."

"Congratulations to the general manager!" Cheng Yaojin led the generals to salute.
Li Daozong got off his horse and gave everyone the respect they deserved. He said with a smile, "Everyone with [-] horse infantry, defeated [-] Western Turkic cavalry, killed [-] enemies, and captured more than [-] prisoners. You are the heroes of our Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, the battle has not yet begun. It's over, otherwise the manager will have a good time with you all!"
At Li Daozong's position, credit does not mean anything to him, so he has no thought of being overshadowed by Cheng Yaojin's great contribution.
But other people are different, looking at Cheng Yaojin with jealousy in his eyes.
Especially Hou Junji, he didn't think he couldn't do what Cheng Yaojin could do, it's just that he didn't get the chance.
When Cheng Yaojin and Li Daozong met, the news about the victory of this battle was also sent to Chang'an.
Li Shimin was overjoyed after reading the battle report. This battle not only greatly weakened the strength of the Western Turks, but also inspired the morale of the Tang army.
Military spirit is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it is very important.
Every famous general is a master who is good at mobilizing the morale of the army.
Li Shimin asked Xu Jingzong to publish the victory in the newspaper, and the whole Chang'an rejoiced the next day.
Seeing this, Li Shimin directly decreed to cancel the curfew, and had fun with the people.
……
When Datang was happy about this victory, the information about this battle was also known to other surrounding countries.
When Yuan Taizuo returned home, Yuan Gai Suwen rushed up to greet him and asked, "Father, did the king agree?"
Yuan Taizuo looked at his impatient son, and said lightly, "Go in and talk."
When he came to the study, Yuan Taizuo sent his servants away and said: "Western Turks often plunder our Goguryeo. Your Majesty does not agree to send troops to help West Turks."
Goguryeo borders not only the Tang Dynasty but also the grasslands.
As a half-cultivating and half-pasturing country, the pressure on Goguryeo from the Tang Dynasty was not as great as that from Western Turks and Xue Yantuo.
If the Tang Dynasty wanted to attack Goguryeo, it would be impossible to hide it from Goguryeo, but the nomads are different.
The cavalry came and went like the wind, and the Western Turks and Xue Yantuo dared to snatch even the Tang Dynasty, so how could they let go of this weak neighbor.
Therefore, Goguryeo has always been the target of bullying by Western Turks and Xue Yantuo.
This also made Goguryeo, Western Turks, and Xue Yantuo forge a blood feud.
King Goguryeo was too happy to hear the news that Western Turks had lost troops and generals, so he was willing to send troops to help Western Turks.
Even if the Tang Dynasty wiped out the Western Turks, the King of Goguryeo was not worried at all. Goguryeo repelled the attacks of the former Sui Dynasty and gave him infinite confidence.
"It's not good for me, Goguryeo, to allow Datang to grow up like this. Why is the king so short-sighted?" Yuan Gai Suwen said angrily.
Yuan Gai Suwen had only heard about the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, but since the last time he was an envoy to the Tang Dynasty and saw the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Gai Suwen had an urge to occupy that land.
"You...cough...cough...cough..." Yuan Taizuo was pissed off by Yuan Gai Suwen's words. He just wanted to reprimand Yuan Gai Suwen, but it brought on his old illness.
Yuan Taizuo was originally born as a general. When resisting the attack of the Sui Dynasty, he was hit by an arrow. Although he didn't kill him, he also left behind a hidden illness.
"Father, don't be angry, speak slowly." Yuan Gai Suwen said quickly.
Yuan Taizuo took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and said: "Some things are not allowed to be said at any time, understand?"
"Father, I don't understand. We have more military power than the king. Why don't we just rebel against it?" Yuan Gai Suwen said unconvinced.
Yuan Taizuo's father was once Mo Lizhi of Goguryeo, also known as the regent, which shows the power of the Yuan family in Goguryeo.
