Chapter 171: Why does the king’s power need to be granted by God?
……

Ashina Simo mobilized his soldiers and began to clear out the rebels in the city.

In this rebellion, in addition to the high priest, many Turkic nobles also participated.

Although Ashina Simo could not touch the high priest, he showed no mercy to these Turkic nobles.

Therefore, Wuchuan City, which had just recovered from the war, fell into chaos again.

After a day and night of fighting
Wuchuan City finally returned to peace.

All those who opposed him were eliminated. Now there was only one voice in the city, and that was the voice of the Turkic Khan Ashina Simo.

After cleaning everything.

Ashina Simo came to Wu Wen's residence and reported the matter to him.

Wu Wen held an iron rod in his hand, observing and exploring, and whispered: "You haven't done it cleanly enough. You dealt with those minions. You haven't touched the real person behind the scenes."

Ashina Simo naturally knew who the person behind the scenes Wu Wen was talking about.

He swallowed and said nervously, "My Lord, the High Priest really can't..."

Before he could finish his words, Wu Wen suddenly turned his head and looked at him coldly, which made him swallow the second half of his words.

"Ashina Simo!"

Wu Wen said in a deep voice.

"You are now the Great Khan of the Turks, the king. The kingship is supreme. How can you be bound by a priest?"

The two looked at each other.

There was a hint of confusion in Wu Wen's words.

"When does the king's power need to be granted by God?"

Wu Wen continued: "Kill the high priest and flatten the sacrificial ground, then you will be the true king of the grassland and the lord of the northern border."

Under Wu Wen's hypnosis, Ashina Simo's deep inner ambition was completely aroused.

Yes, he is the Great Khan now, why should he be afraid of a high priest?

Seeing that Ashina Simo was gradually getting rid of his awe of the high priest, Wu Wen smiled.

Ever since accepting Ashina Simo as his subordinate, Wu Wen has been subtly exerting psychological suggestion on him to make him respect and be loyal to him from the bottom of his heart.

This is also why when the high priest asked Ashina Simo to betray Wu Wen, he refused outright.

But now, under Wu Wen's hypnosis, the high priest's status in Ashina Simo's heart has completely fallen from the altar.

He was no longer a believer in Changshengtian, but the Great Khan of the Turks, a true eagle on the grassland, and no one could restrain his soaring.

"Go and call Cheng Chumo over!" Wu Wen ordered.

Upon hearing this, Ashina Simo immediately ordered someone to call Cheng Chumo over.

"My Lord!" Cheng Chumo bowed when he saw Wu Wen.

"Has the news from Wuchuan been reported back to Chang'an?" Wu Wen asked.

"My Lord, the message has been sent back, but due to the long distance, it will take some time to receive a reply from Chang'an." Cheng Chumo replied.

Wu Wen nodded and continued to ask: "How many people do we have in Wuchuan City now?"

Cheng Chumo naturally knew that the "we" Wu Wen mentioned referred to the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

He replied: "In addition to the remaining 821 people who followed you to fight in Wuchuan, I have transferred 500 people from Yanmen Pass, so the total number is now 1,321."

"More than a thousand people, that's enough!"

Wu Wen stood up and ordered Cheng Chumo directly: "Get ready now. I want to take them out tonight."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Chumo asked curiously, "My Lord, where are we going tonight?"

"You don't need to ask too many questions, just follow the military orders!" Wu Wen replied.

Cheng Chumo didn't ask any more questions and went downstairs to prepare.

-

To the west of Wuchuan City is Dajin Mountain, a mountain in the Yinshan Mountains.

But so that the Dragon City Feijiang will be there, he will not teach Huma Du Yinshan.

The Yinshan Mountains form a barrier between the northern grasslands and the Central Plains dynasties.

After passing Yinshan Mountain is the real lair of the Turks and the place where they rose to power.

But since the Turks moved south hundreds of years ago, they have been performing sacrifices in this Dajin Mountain.

A place for sacrificial offerings in Dajin Mountain.

Although the high priest planned the siege and killing of Wu Wen in Wuchuan City, when the plan was implemented, he had already left Wuchuan City and returned here.

Yesterday, he received news that the plan had failed. Not only did Wu Wen not get killed, but eight Wolf Guards were also killed in succession. At the same time, Ashina Simo also carried out a purge of the Turkic nobles.

In response, the high priest neither sighed nor got angry. Instead, he knelt expressionlessly in front of the cylindrical stone statue representing Eternal Heaven and began to offer sacrifices and pray, as if seeking instructions from Eternal Heaven.

into the night.

Under the leadership of Ashina Simo, Wu Wen led his army to the outside of Dajin Mountain.

"My lord, the place for sacrifice is in this Dajin Mountain." Ashina Simo said, pointing to the valley ahead.

At this time, Cheng Chumo, who was following behind him, realized that the purpose of their trip was to deal with the Turkic high priest.

This is a very serious matter and must be handled with extreme caution.

Cheng Chumo rode up to Wu Wen and said seriously, "My Lord, do you want to reconsider this matter?"

"What to consider?"

Wu Wen turned to look at him and said calmly: "Just follow the military order. I don't need you to consider the rest for me!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Cheng Chumo immediately stepped back respectfully.

Military orders are as heavy as mountains. Let alone killing a high priest, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, he cannot retreat even a single step under military orders.

"Lead the way!"

Wu Wen ordered Ashina Simo.

Then, Ashina Simo led everyone deeper into Dajin Mountain.

In the narrow valley and mountain roads, the cavalrymen advanced quietly, their mouths sealed and their horses' hooves wrapped.

After passing the mountain road, the view suddenly opened up and a huge valley appeared in front of us.

On the flat ground, there are many stone towers built of stones, one after another, full of a mysterious sense of ritual.

With their arrival.

All around the valley, a group of strong men wearing animal skins appeared one after another.

Wu Wen took a quick look and realized that these people were all Wolf Guards.

Just from what we see now, there are already more than 200 people.

If faced with so many Wolf Guards at the same time, even Wu Wen would have to admit that he needed to retreat and avoid the limelight temporarily.

But he is not alone today.

As the distance between the two sides shortened, Wu Wen shouted in a deep voice: "Get ready!"

The more than a thousand cavalrymen behind him moved at the command, drawing their bows and arrows in unison, and the arrows flashed a cold light in the moonlight.

"put!"

At Wu Wen's command, arrows poured out like raindrops. Although they did not directly hurt the Wolf Guards, they made their formation become chaotic in an instant.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wu Wen took the lead in the charge.

More than a thousand cavalrymen followed closely behind him, like an unstoppable torrent.

The sound of galloping horses echoed in the narrow valley, deafening, like bursts of thunder.
