Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 351: Forgiving them is God’s business. What I need to do is send them to see God.
Inside the tent.

The bonfire burned slowly, dispelling the cold air that was pouring into the tent.

Tuozhuobuzha warmly invited Su Chen to take a seat and gave up his own seat.

But no one in the tent had any objection.

After witnessing Su Chen's method of turning thunder into the sea, all the major officials in the Yiwu tribe had already been convinced by him. How could there be any opposition?
Do you want to be the next Lai Zhuo?
Tuozhuobuzha raised his glass and said loudly: "Everyone, let us warmly welcome the Lord Thunder God to our Yiwu tribe!"

"Welcome Lord Thundergod!"

A group of high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Yiwu tribe raised their glasses and looked at Su Chen eagerly.

Su Chen picked up the wine glass with a smile, "Praise the gods."

"Praise the gods!"

Everyone agreed and drank it all in one gulp.

Put down the wine glass.

Tuozhuobuzha smiled and said, "Lord Thunder God, since you have already arranged for a divine messenger, why did you come to the grassland in person?"

"Because he's so slow."

Su Chen said expressionlessly, "As a messenger of God, you should strictly follow the orders of the true God instead of wasting time!"

"I don't want Yu Gushe to start a war and cause innocent people on the grassland to die! I am very surprised that the efficiency of the divine messenger White Wolf was slow and he failed to stop Yu Gushe in time!"

"More than 100,000 troops marched south, only to end up buried in a foreign land, with their wives and children separated. This is truly outrageous to both humans and gods!"

"If the White Wolf had been faster, Yu Gushe could have avoided this great defeat, and the people of the grassland would not have died in Yanqi!"

Many people nodded secretly to Su Chen's words.

Ever since White Wolf, who claimed to be the messenger of Thunder God, appeared in the sight of the grassland people, he declared that Yu Gushe would fail in this southward march and that the grassland would be in turmoil, and countless grassland people would die in this cold winter!

Although not many people believed him at the time, the story gradually spread as the situation developed.

Every defeat of Yu Gushe was expected by the White Wolf God Envoy!
Isn't this enough to explain the problem?

An official asked, "Lord Thunder God, will Khan really bring disaster to our grassland?"

Su Chen said calmly: "Isn't it a disaster now?"

"One hundred and twenty thousand troops marched south, and eighty thousand troops attacked the Yanqi Kingdom's Yuanqu City. Not only did they fail to capture Yuanqu City, but they also suffered heavy casualties, resulting in less than ten thousand troops left out of the eighty thousand troops, and they retreated to Tingzhou in embarrassment."

"The remaining 40,000 troops wanted to cross Zuohui City, but were blocked outside of Zuohui City by the Tang Dynasty's reinforcements. They had no choice but to retreat to Tingzhou and join Yu Gushe."

"This time, we lost nearly 80,000 soldiers and generals. Isn't this a huge loss for the grassland?"

Hear the words.

Everyone fell silent.

With 120,000 troops marching south, it stands to reason that they should bring back some benefits.

But the result?

Apart from Changji and Tingzhou, they did not take any more territory.

There were some gold, silver, jewelry, population and land obtained, but compared with the huge casualties, they seemed so insignificant.

Su Chen looked at everyone's expressions and said, "Do you know why we were defeated so thoroughly this time?"

The crowd shook their heads.

"Please give me some advice, Lord Thunder God."

“Because of faith!”

Su Chen spoke slowly, his tone solemn, "The people on the grassland believe in the mountain god, the sheep god, the wind god, the water god..."

"Their faith is too flawed, their gods cannot bring them victory!"

"on the contrary!"

"Because of these different beliefs, when they come together, the power they create is hard to describe in words!"

"Yugu pretends to be the Khan of the grassland. He has unified many tribes and ordered the shamans of each tribe to predict the outcome of his march south. But what did those shamans do?"

A hint of embarrassment flashed across the faces of Tuozhuobuzha and others.

They know this very well.

The so-called divination is just to encourage us to go south this time.

How can a real battlefield be determined by divination?

Again.

Those shamans had received orders from Yugushe to eliminate all bad options.

There is only one outcome to this trip south.

Big win!

But obviously the result this time was not what they predicted.

"Lord Thunder God, are you saying that these shamans are too powerful and don't have the toughness of a follower of God?"

Laxu said thoughtfully, "If these shamans followed the will of the gods and told the true divination results even when facing swords, this trip south would be very different?"

Su Chen looked at Laxu with great satisfaction, nodded and said, "Well said!"

"True believers dare to face the powerful and dare to face death!"

"But in order to save their own lives, they changed the result of the divination on their own initiative, causing the Khan to march south and end up like this."

"So, the reason I came here this time is to get rid of these bad apples!"

"The gods must not be blasphemed, and even more so, must not be deceived!"

"it is good!"

Laxu was the first to applaud, his expression excited, "Lord Thunder God is absolutely right. If the shamans, who are believers, bow their heads before power, are they still believers and messengers of God?"

"No!"

"They are just scammers who want fame and fortune!" Very sensible.

Su Chen looked at Laxsu with some surprise.

This guy doesn't look like he's pretending, he looks more like a fanatical believer.

"Laxu, calm down."

Tuozhuobuzha glanced at Laxu, gave him a gentle reminder, then looked at Su Chen and said in a deep voice, "Lord Thunder God, what should we do then?"

"Of course, it's cutting down mountains and destroying temples!"

Su Chen said seriously, "We must send all the believers who betrayed and deceived the gods to see the gods."

"what?"

Tuozhuobuzha and others were stunned.

Send them to see the gods?
Are you serious? !

"This……"

Tuozhuobuzha hesitated and said, "Lord Thunder God, it's okay to execute one or two shamans, but if you kill all the shamans, I'm afraid that the people of the grassland will..."

"You're wrong. I'm not going to kill them."

"...?"

Su Chen sighed, "Whether to forgive these believers is up to the gods. All I can do is send them to see the gods they believe in!
Uh……

Isn’t this still the same meaning?
Tuozhuobuzha and others were almost fooled by Su Chen.

Su Chen continued: "Is the Yiwu tribe willing to believe in me?"

"Yes, yes!"

"Of course I do!"

"Right, Chief?"

Before Tuozhuobuzha opened his mouth, the others had already shown expressions of excitement.

I can hardly do this anymore.

like.

As soon as Su Chen showed up, he sidelined him as the leader.

"Of course!"

Thinking of Su Chen's technique of controlling thunder just now, Tuozhuobuzha nodded without hesitation, "From today on, our Yiwu tribe will always believe in Lord Thunder God."

"So good."

Su Chen nodded with satisfaction, "Only in this way can I have a chance to lead you out of danger."

"Danger?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Tuozhuobuzha and others immediately realized where the problem lay.

"Lord Thunder God means that our Yiwu tribe will be in danger?"

"Very dangerous!"

Su Chen said in a deep voice, "Don't think that I am exaggerating!"

"Why did the Tang Dynasty only arrange 20,000 troops to go to the Western Regions to help the Yanqi Kingdom this time?"

"You don't really think that the Tang Dynasty will let Yiwu go, do you?"

"This……"

Faced with Su Chen's question, Tuozhuobuzha and others hesitated.

From the perspective of sending troops, it was obviously unrealistic to send 20,000 troops into the Western Regions to support the Kingdom of Yanqi.

Because there are too few people!
It is very likely that these 20,000 troops will be completely wiped out in the Western Regions.

But the Tang Dynasty not only did so, it also successfully stopped Yu Gushe and destroyed Gaochang!
Su Chen said slowly: "Gaochang has been destroyed, Yu Gushe has retreated to Tingzhou, and the Tang general Xue Wanche will lead these 20,000 troops to eat away the entire Western Region bit by bit!"

"The next step is Yiwu!"

"Therefore, the Yiwu tribe, which is closest to the Yiwu country, is actually the most dangerous existence!"

"impossible!"

Tuozhuobuzha thought and shook his head, "Yiwu State has now surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Even if Xue Wanche is going to attack Yiwu State, it is still a certain distance away from our Yiwu tribe."

"Moreover, Xue Wanche only has 20,000 troops. How can he conquer the Western Regions with such a small number of people?"

Su Chen said indifferently: "You forgot that Yiwu Kingdom is very close to the Tang Dynasty!"

"Liangzhou, Ganzhou, and Suzhou of the Tang Dynasty all have a large number of troops!"

"Once Xue Wanche takes action against the Western Regions, how can these cities closest to the Western Regions sit still?"

Tuozhuobuzha's expression changed instantly. "Lord Thunder God, what you mean is that when Xue Wanche led 20,000 troops to support Yanqi, the Tang Dynasty was planning to take over the entire Western Regions?!"

hiss!
As Tuozhuobuzha finished speaking, the temperature in the entire tent dropped rapidly.

If Tuozhuobuzha's guess was correct, then the Tang Dynasty had already had the idea of ​​taking action against the countries in the Western Regions!

But they never had the chance to send troops!
But things are different now.

Yu Gushe went south, Yanqi asked for help, and the King of Gaochang stabbed him in the back. This gave the Tang Dynasty the best opportunity to send troops.

Arranging 20,000 elite troops in the name of providing assistance is just a cover!
Their real purpose was to station these 20,000 elite troops in the Western Regions. From then on, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty had a foothold in the Western Regions, and more Tang Dynasty soldiers would follow!

How could the countries in the Western Regions be a match for the Tang Empire?
Once the Yiwu Kingdom was destroyed, wouldn't the Yiwu tribe, which was closest to the Yiwu Kingdom, become the first unlucky person under the Tang Dynasty's military peak? ?

"Now you should understand why I said that Yu Gushe's trip south this time would bring great crisis to the tribes on the grassland, and the Yiwu tribe would be in danger, right?"

"Thor is on top!"

Tuozhuobuzha said sincerely: "Please Lord Thunder God, save the Yiwu tribe!"
