Chapter 472 Khitan and Western Turks

Subsequently.

Li Zheng used his mind to summon the Wind God Pterosaur. Outside the hall, a gust of wind suddenly blew in.

Li Zheng's mount, the pterosaur, landed directly outside the hall.

"Go."

Li Zheng said to his children.

"Thank you, daddy."

Li Xian thanked him and ran out with his younger brother and sister.

Looking at their backs, Li Zheng also had a warm smile on his face.

Now, he already has many wives and concubines and many children.

"Turkic, Khitan."

"I hope you won't let me down."

Li Zheng stared at the memorial in his hand and muttered.

There has been no war for so many years, and Li Zheng also feels a sense of longing.

but.

For the Tang Dynasty, the best outcome would be for all the farmland in the northern border to be nationalized before the Turks take action. This is what Li Zheng thought.

But Li Zheng could also foresee that perhaps Northern Xinjiang would not be as he imagined. For the sake of their own interests, those powerful people would not sit idly by and watch their fertile land being annexed, and would definitely stir up some trouble.

"Zhao Ming."

"Convey my will."

"Order the Bad Guys to speed up their actions. All the people on the list I gave them will be captured." Li Zheng said in a deep voice.

Zhao Ming replied respectfully: "I obey your orders."

……

Northern Xinjiang.

Western Turks.

Inside the royal tent.

On the throne.

Rabdan looked at the Khitan envoys in the tent with indifference: "You are the Khitan who were destroyed by the Tang Dynasty. You claim that you want to cooperate with this Khan, but what qualifications do you have to cooperate with this Khan?"

"Return to the Khan."

"We Khitans, like the Turks, have a deep hatred for the Tang Dynasty and wish to destroy it," said the Khitan envoy, looking at Labdan.

Hear this.

Rabdan nodded. Indeed, his hatred for the Tang Dynasty was deep-rooted. The former Turkic royal court was destroyed, and the two Great Khans, Jie Li Khan and Yugu Chamdo Khan, as well as hundreds of officials were either killed or captured. This kind of humiliation was engraved in the hearts of the Turks, and they all wanted to break through the northern border of the Tang Dynasty and attack the capital Chang'an.

"How many troops do you Turks have?" Rabdan asked in a deep voice.

"Return to the Khan."

"I, the Khitan Khan, have unified all the Khitan tribes. Now there are more than one million people in the tribe, and all of them are soldiers."

"of course."

"If we count strictly, there are 150,000 capable of fighting." The Khitan envoy replied respectfully.

Before coming, the Khitans came with the idea of ​​cooperating to destroy the Tang Dynasty, so that the Turks could see the strength of their Khitan tribe and become more equal.

"How could a small Khitan have 150,000 soldiers?"

Labdan frowned, somewhat unexpectedly, that the Khitan tribe that he despised would be so powerful.

Although the Khitan tribe's population was not as large as that of the Turkic people, nor their military strength, Labdan also began to take it seriously at this moment.

"Since the Khitans want to cooperate with this Khan, have they contacted other tribes on the grassland?" Rabdan asked.

After the Eastern Turks were destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, they were divided into several groups of Turks. Rabdan's group belonged to the Western Turks, which was also the strongest group of Turks. In addition, there were the Shatuo and Tiele tribes. However, they were not in harmony with Rabdan's Western Turks and often attacked each other.

"Please rest assured, Khan"

"I know that the Western Turks are at odds with the Shatuo and Tiele tribes, and that the Western Turks are the true orthodox Turkic royal court. If they come, they will naturally come to see the Khan first." The Khitan envoy said respectfully.

Rabdan seemed very satisfied.

Since the fall of the Turkic royal court, the Western Turks, Shatuo, and Tiele have all been vying for the title of the royal court's legitimacy, and none of the three tribes would submit to the other. Of course, apart from disputes, they also have some restraint among each other.

"The Tang Kingdom is very strong."

"With the strength of our two divisions, there is no way we can break through the border of Tang State."

"Although Western Turkic has recovered some of its strength in the past few years, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is also growing. Moreover, Li Zheng is no longer an ordinary general of the Tang Dynasty, but the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty."

"This person is just as difficult to deal with as Li Shimin."

"Does your Khitan leader have any ideas?" Rabdan asked in a deep voice.

"Sweat profusely."

"After our clan leader sent foreign officials here, he naturally had a plan."

"The Tang Kingdom is not as powerful as it seems now. There are big things happening in their country." The Khitan envoy sneered.

Rabdan took a look and was slightly surprised: "It seems that I have underestimated the Khitan tribe. They actually have information about the Tang Dynasty. It seems that Yelu Nagu is also a big shot."

The movements of the Tang State.

The Western Turks were naturally very clear about this, and they also sent people to gather information in the northern border of the Tang Dynasty.

"There have been major changes within the Tang Empire."

"That Li Zheng was reckless and forcibly seized the land, which caused concern among the Tang nobles. Now, many of the Tang nobles in the northern border have also tried to contact us to cooperate with us."

"Moreover, there are also powerful people in the Tang army who provided me with the Khitan's defense map of Youzhou and Jinyang."

“Such a great opportunity.”

“Don’t miss it.”

"and."

"This is the only chance for our grassland tribe to destroy the Tang Dynasty. If Li Zheng succeeds and takes over all the fields, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty will definitely become stronger." The Khitan envoy said solemnly.

"The Tang people are insidious and cunning. How do you know that those powerful people in the Tang Kingdom really want to deal with Li Zheng and Li Shimin?"

"Again."

This matter needs further discussion. If my Western Turkic Khanate sends troops, I am afraid that the Shatuo and Tiele tribes will not behave themselves. What if they take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on my royal court?

"If you Khitan really want to destroy the Tang Dynasty, it's very simple. Let Shatuo and Tiele send troops as well. This way, you can be sure of success." Rabdan said to the Khitan envoy.

Get this answer.

The Khitan envoys looked very happy, as the purpose of their visit this time had been achieved.

"Please rest assured, Khan."

"We, the Khitans, will certainly persuade the Khans of the Shatuo and Tiele tribes to send troops together."

"It is imperative to destroy the Tang Dynasty." The Khitan envoy said with confidence.

"Then I will wait for your good news." Rabdan nodded.

"Farewell."

The Khitan envoy bowed and slowly left the Turkic king's tent.

After he left.

"Sweat profusely."

"Can this Khitan tribe really be trusted?"

"The Tang Kingdom is powerful, stronger than before. If we don't achieve complete victory, we will definitely suffer a great loss." A Turkic general said with some concern.

Rabdan shook his head: "Everything looks irritating, but it's not difficult. However, we can't persuade Shatuo and Tiele to mobilize. As long as they mobilize, the power of the three tribes will be concentrated, and with the Khitan tribe, it is really possible to destroy the Tang Dynasty."

"The old and new hatreds between the Tang Kingdom and our tribe must be repaid in the end."

"Send more spies to the Tang Kingdom to gather intelligence on the Tang Kingdom, especially on the deployment of troops on the Tang Kingdom's border. These must be thoroughly investigated."
