The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 178 Zhao Deyan (recommended for collection)

"Sir, what should I do as a Turk?" Jieli asked respectfully.

Zhao Deyan shook his feather fan lightly, and said inscrutably, "Hasn't the Great Khan already made up his mind?" Even so, he still took the opportunity to show his foresight to Jieli Khan.

"To put it bluntly, although the Great Khan is a great Turkic Khan, the new king has just been established and has not yet had the prestige to be subdued. Therefore, he intends to step on the Sui Dynasty to establish the supreme authority. But now, foreign wars are obviously Impossible. If the Great Khan acts forcefully, those who have always opposed the Great Khan will definitely rebel. In the end, no matter who wins, the strength of the Turks will also be greatly traumatized. Therefore, I think it is not suitable for the Great Khan to fight again .”

Jieli Khan smiled bitterly: "Even if I want to fight, I can't do it. If we can't break into the Great Wall, the Turks will definitely split again."

"The Great Khan is wise!" Zhao Deyan praised, and said, "I thought that the Great Khan should take this opportunity to win people's hearts and eliminate internal discord."

"Mr. Zhao, what should I do?"

"There is a saying in the art of war: If you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you don't know the enemy but know yourself, you will win and lose once; if you don't know the enemy and yourself, you will lose every battle. Therefore, if the Great Khan wants to break the deadlock, he must first understand the Turks' own problems before they can fight against them." Right."

Zhao Deyan eloquently said: "I believe that the Turks have four major internal troubles: first, there are many tribes with different ideas, and military and political differences, which will delay the opportunity for war; second, the climate changes, resulting in frequent disasters. A law that is complied with from top to bottom and unified and perfected is the foundation of law enforcement; fourth, the territory is vast and government orders cannot be implemented.”

Jieli Khan thought deeply.

First: There are many tribes with different ideas.This is a fact. A Turkic tribe is a country that exists alone. It will only obey the orders of the Great Khan when it goes out.

Second, climatic changes lead to frequent disasters.

It is also true that in recent years disasters have occurred, and some tribes who could not survive have taken risks in order to survive, and attacked the surrounding tribes, making the Turks defend their neighbors more than their enemies.How much combat power can this kind of mutual calculation and mutual guarding army exert on the battlefield?
Third, testimonials!
Without sound laws, how can we talk about fair law enforcement?People are selfish, and in the absence of laws and regulations, the adjudicator naturally favors relatives and friends, and as time goes on, everyone is dissatisfied and complains everywhere.

Fourth, the territory is vast, and government orders are unreasonable!
The Turks have been nomadic and have no fixed place for generations. Except for a few grasslands with lush water and grass, they have been wandering for a long time. Even the Great Khan of the Turks does not know how many tribes there are and where they are settled. He also does not know whether these tribes are alive or dead. , once disappears inexplicably, other tribes will say that he is not a good Khan, and the whole tribe disappears without knowing what kind of Khan you are; In times of war, it is impossible to mobilize a powerful army in time.

These four points of Zhao Deyan point directly at the Turkic core!
There are some people in history who can do many vigorous things with just one mouth.

At this moment, Zhao Deyan is also relying on his mouth to turn the dead into a living, enumerating the internal instability of the Turks, and what he said is full of facts.

More importantly, he scratched Jieli Khan's itch. As long as these four problems are solved, his dream of a great country will no longer be a dream.

Jieli Khan's thoughts were agitated, and he looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "What you said is very true. As long as these four major problems are solved, the Turkic Khanate with military and political unity will no longer be a dream. It's just that, sir, what should I do now to make the Turkic Khanate a reality?" The Turks are twisted into a single piece of iron, so how can we solve the immediate problems?"

"While solving the immediate problems, the concept of the unity of the general and the government has gradually penetrated into the people." Zhao Deyan pondered: "The foundation of the Great Khan is the 10,000+ direct line army in his hand, but now the families of these troops are all If it falls into the hands of Yang Tong, if it is not redeemed, the army will be chaotic, and once the army is chaotic and disloyal, the Great Khan will be replaced by others."

Jieli Khan agreed: "The law of the jungle preys on the strong on the grassland, and the army is the foundation."

Zhao Deyan said: "Therefore, the Great Khan should redeem the families of these soldiers, so as to stabilize people's hearts. Although it will lose some property, it can make the 10,000+ army more loyal to the Great Khan and fight more bravely."

Although Jieli Khan was unwilling and angry, he also knew that what Zhao Deyan said was reasonable, "How to redeem?"

"Exchange Han Chinese slaves one-on-one, and exchange the excess with gold, silver, and jade. Anyway, these things are useless in the hands of the Great Khan, so it is better to exchange them for people's hearts."

Prairie people live in a harsh environment, and they attach great importance to objects that can solve food and clothing. Therefore, it is not gold, silver and jade that embody wealth, but real animals. They value objects a thousand times more than cold gold and silver.

"Okay!" Jieli Khan agreed to the exchange method, and asked again: "And then?"

"After redeeming the family members of the army, the Great Khan has two choices." Zhao Deyan said: "First, send all the Turkic troops to the south, and win. At that time, the internal problems were self-explanatory. No matter what laws the Great Khan wanted to promulgate, no one would refuse. Anne, and then there will be a decisive battle in the Sui Dynasty."

"Of the two options: the former is no less than a gamble, and it is very undesirable, because the new Great Wall of the Sui Dynasty is tall and strong, and it is difficult to conquer. Once the war falls into a stalemate, or there is a loss, the Great Khan will be unable to control the entire Turkic. Objection They must try every means to get in touch with the Sui Dynasty and overthrow the Great Khan."

"And the strategy of first peace inside is more stable and beneficial, because the current ministries are suffering, and the only way for them to survive is to attack the neighboring tribes. At that time, the Great Khan only needs to hold the whip of righteousness and execute those who mobilize The tribal leaders and their heirs in the civil war can annex their tribes, thus relying on the strength of the Great Khan. The Great Khan does business, and the bullied tribes must be grateful. Being looted by others, they have no choice but to serve the Great Khan. Once integrated in, they can only obey all the arrangements of the Great Khan. As long as the Great Khan is strong, who will dare to object in the future? Even if someone objects, the Great Khan will find an excuse Just attack. If things go on like this, the entire Turkic Empire will be owned by the Great Khan. No matter how the order is issued, no one dares to object."

"The civil strife in the Central Plains can't be unified for decades or hundreds of years. When the Great Khan integrates the Turks, the Central Plains has fallen into the extreme of exhaustion, and the world will be settled in one battle." Although Zhao Deyan is a literati, he has a very serious evil spirit.

Jieli looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Mr. Zhao is very reasonable, so let's do it like this."

Zhao Deyan smiled but said nothing.

Jieli Khan respectfully said: "Thank you sir for making such a big plan for me. I, Jieli, dare not forget each other for a moment. I got help from him in the most desperate and difficult time, just like Liu Bei got Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms. You It is my Zhuge Liang. The day of success is the day when Mr. becomes the prime minister of the Turkic Khanate!"

"Thank you Khan for your love, Deyan vows to die!"

"Good, good, good! Let us work together to build a great Turkic Empire."

Zhao Deyan said very excitedly: "I will do my best and die!"

The happy Xie Li didn't notice the strange smile on the corner of Zhao Deyan's mouth who was bending over.
