Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 768
The Later Sui Dynasty was very close to the Turks.

A few days later, Yang Zhengdao's envoys came to the Turkic King City and met Jieli Khan.

"Emperor Sui sent you to Ben Khan, but what's the matter?"

The envoy said: "The Great Tang is going to attack me in the Later Sui Dynasty. My Emperor Later Sui, worried that he will not be the opponent of the Great Tang Dynasty, came here to ask His Majesty Khan to help defend against the enemy."

Hearing that it was for this matter, Jieli Khan hesitated for a moment.

"You go to rest first, Ben Khan will discuss with the ministers before making a decision."

When the envoy heard that Jieli Khan didn't make a decision right away, he felt a little uneasy, but he didn't dare to say anything else, so he could only quickly take orders and retreat.

After the envoys retreated, Jieli Khan called the Turkic officials.

Above the main hall, Jieli Khan explained the situation.

"Hou Sui, shall we help or not?"

Jieli Khan asked, and many people from the court quickly stood up.

"My lord, what are you doing for us? Why don't you let them continue to fight with Datang? When they have almost exhausted Datang and our troops are almost assembled, at that time, send troops directly to destroy Qin Tian and the others. Revenge and revenge."

"That's right, that's right. Let them waste time with Datang first. We don't need to worry. The more wars Datang has, the better it will be for us."

"That's right, that's right, the more Datang consumes, the more chance we have to defeat them."

"........."

These people were all influenced by the battle between Datang and Luo Yi, and wanted to use the Later Sui Dynasty to continue to weaken the forces of Datang.

But at this moment, Wu Yangzi, the Turkic minister and military advisor of Jieli Khan, stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, I think that the Later Sui Dynasty will help you."

After Wu Yangzi spoke, the officials were stunned for a moment, and Jieli Khan asked, "Oh, why do you want to help?"

"Your Majesty, there are a few reasons for this. First, the Later Sui Dynasty has always had a good relationship with our Turks, and they have always been our pawns to deal with Datang. Although I, Turks, intend to fight Datang, I want to destroy the Great Tang Tang, but it is unlikely, as long as the Great Tang is not destroyed, then the existence of the Later Sui will be meaningful. So, it is a bit unreasonable not to help. Second, Qin Tian attacked the Later Sui, and the Later Sui defended, relatively speaking. The advantage, if we send troops to attack Datang, we have to attack the city, and the advantage lies in the Tang Dynasty. If we help the Later Sui Dynasty, we are also fighting, but the advantage becomes us. If we can destroy Qin Tian's troops, then we It is equivalent to eliminating a big enemy of Datang. If we attack Datang again at that time, we will have a better chance of winning. We need to concentrate a part of our troops and join forces with the Later Sui Dynasty to destroy Qin Tian first..."

Wu Yangzi murmured that every reason was very good, and after he said that, the others had no objection, because according to Wu Yangzi, after that, Sui really helped Cai. OK.

Jieli Khan thought for a moment, and said: "The military master is right. Since Sui should help, let's help. Among the tribes, whose soldiers and horses have assembled?"

"Returning to the Holy One, Mahahar's soldiers and horses have been assembled, there are about [-] soldiers and horses."

Among the Turkic tribes, a tribe with [-] soldiers and horses is already considered a large tribe and should not be underestimated. After a courtier finished explaining the situation, Jieli Khan nodded: "Okay, since Mahahar's The soldiers and horses have been assembled, so send someone to send a message to him, asking him to lead his own soldiers and horses to assist the Later Sui Dynasty and destroy Qin Tian. After the other soldiers and horses are also assembled, they will join him. "

After Jieli Khan gave the order, someone immediately went to Mahahar's tribe to convey the Khan's edict. At the same time, someone told the envoy of the Sui Dynasty about the situation and asked him to make preparations when he returned.
-
The prairie is huge.

It was already five days after Jieli Khan's edict arrived in Mahahar's territory.

Mahahar was a burly man in his thirties.

He is an extremely fanatical fighter.

As long as there is a war, he will be particularly active in participating, which is why he is the first person to prepare for Turkic so far. Of course, the others are almost the same, he is just faster than others.

After receiving the edict from Jieli Khan, Mahahar was a little surprised, but at the same time, he was also a little reluctant.

He is indeed a fanatical war fighter, but he wants to attack Datang directly instead of helping Later Sui defend Datang.

In fact, they fought wars for the benefit, and what they wanted was the wealth of the Tang Dynasty. The women of the Tang Dynasty could help the Later Sui Dynasty. To be honest, the benefits were too little.

The Later Sui Dynasty said it was a country, but in fact it was barren, and it was far from the rich Tang Dynasty.

However, although he was a bit reluctant, Jieli Khan's order had already been issued, and he had no choice but to comply.

After Jieli Khan's men left, Mahahar summoned his soldiers.

"His Majesty Khan wants us to send troops to help Hou Sui, gather the troops and set off tomorrow."

After hearing what their leader said, all the soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then some were reluctant.

"Boss, why don't we follow His Majesty Khan and fight directly against Datang? In that case, we can plunder a lot of things along the way. We went to help Hou Sui, but we got nothing."

"That's right, His Majesty Khan's doing this is really a bit chilling."

"Who says no, why does His Majesty Khan not let other people go, why let us go?"

Compared with the Tang Dynasty, the Later Sui Dynasty is really far behind, and to help the Later Sui Dynasty, there is really nothing to plunder, and there is nothing to plunder. Even if the Tang army is defeated, so what?
Perhaps, for Jieli Khan, his purpose is to destroy Qin Tian, ​​but for Mahahar and his tribal men, what they want is only the wealth of the Tang Dynasty and the women of the Tang Dynasty.

Without these, fighting would be meaningless to them.

The soldiers were not in high spirits, and Mahahar was also helpless. If he could refuse, he would have already refused.

"My heroic man, I know what you mean, and I don't want to help Hou Sui either, but this is a request from His Majesty Khan, can we refuse?"

Everyone looked at each other and whispered to each other. At this time, Mahahar continued to say: "Don't worry, everyone. As long as I can repel Qin Tian's soldiers and horses, after I invade Datang, I will definitely ask Khan to give You share more property, more women, and give you more slaves. It is meaningless to talk about other things. Tomorrow, gather troops and set off for Dingxiang City."

After all, Mahahar was more rational than his subordinates, he knew what would happen if he disobeyed orders, so he could only endure it.

When the other soldiers heard this, they had no choice but to respond. However, their emotions were not high, so the efficiency of rushing to Dingxiang City was naturally low.
