Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 857 Mozak's Chance
"Haha, Eunuch Cui is indeed a smart person, yes, yes, it's not just as simple as drinking tea, it's mainly about asking for something..."

Gao Shilian still gave Cui Yan a lot of face at this time.

In any case, Cui Yan is someone close to Li Shimin, and such a person cannot be offended casually even if his position is not high.

Otherwise, he would look for opportunities to say something in Li Shimin's ear from time to time, then Gao Shilian's life might be difficult in the future.

Furthermore, since I have something to ask of him, I naturally have to speak up.

On Cui Yan's side, he quickly smiled and said: "Master Gao said that, what can you ask for, what's the matter, whatever Mr. Gao says, as long as the miscellaneous family can do it, I will definitely help you do it."

Gao Shilian is the uncle of Empress Changsun, and the Gao family is also a wealthy family. Gao Shilian has such an attitude now, and Cui Yan naturally does not dare to be superior. Maybe in the future, he will ask Gao Shilian again.

Now that there is an opportunity to make friends, Cui Yan will naturally not let it go.

After the two of them finished talking, Gao Shilian revealed his purpose.

"I invited Eunuch Cui here today because you are mainly responsible for supervising the army. Then Qin Tian and I have some problems, and Ma Zhou is Qin Tian's brother-in-law. I hope that Eunuch Cui will make trouble for Ma Zhou when the time comes. Of course, only Just a little trouble."

Gao Shilian didn't dare to ask Cui Yan to kill someone, otherwise Qin Tian might not know how to retaliate, as long as Ma Zhou had some troubles, he would be fine.

After saying this, Gao Shilian pushed over the wooden box that had been placed on the table early in the morning.

"This, please accept it."

Cui Yan's expression moved slightly, and he said, "This is it?"

"A little care, Eunuch Cui doesn't mind."

Upon hearing this, Cui Yan knew what was inside the box, and when he knew it, a smile appeared on his face.

Seeing Cui Yan like this, Gao Shilian also smiled lightly in his heart. He knew that no matter who it was, they needed money and benefits to lure them. After taking out the money, wouldn't Cui Yan be happy immediately?

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, it's just a little trouble for Ma Zhou. Don't worry, Mr. Gao, there is absolutely no problem with this matter."

Hearing Cui Yan's words, Gao Shilian nodded with a smile.

After the two of them said this, Cui Yan didn't stay long, and left directly. Of course, when he left, he had to take away the things Gao Shilian gave him.

Watching Cui Yan leave, Gao Shilian snorted coldly: "Ma Zhou, I can't deal with Qin Tian, ​​and I can't deal with you?"

From Gao Shilian's point of view, he has always looked down on Ma Zhou. He thinks that Ma Zhou only took advantage of Qin Tian's relationship to get his current position.

Now that Cui Yan, the superintendent, is bothering Ma Zhou, it's no wonder that Ma Zhou's life is easier.

Everyone is working.

A few days later, Ma Zhou rushed to the grassland with [-] soldiers and horses. As for the relief supplies, the imperial court had ordered the state capitals along the way to prepare them. This way, it would be more convenient and quicker.

But when Ma Zhou led his people to the grassland, the situation on the grassland was different.
-
Grassland, Western Turkic.

The Western Turks used to be relatively stable. Although the grasslands of the Western Turks were also full of tribes, and they often attacked each other, they gradually reached a balance during the long-term conquest.

This kind of balance makes them unable to eat anyone, so that they dare not act rashly.

However, Jieli Khan was captured, Turkic was destroyed, and some Turkic tribal leaders suddenly invaded Western Turkic, which made the originally peaceful Western Turkic suddenly become a little treacherous.

Turkic peace was broken, and tribal struggles began again. There were tribal struggles that existed before Western Turks, and there were also struggles between Western Turks and those Turkic tribes that had fled.

The Turkic tribes invaded the territory of the Western Turks, and the Western Turkic tribes naturally wanted to drive them away.

As for some tribes of the Western Turks and the conquests of the Turkic tribes, before their enemies saw the opportunity, they naturally took the opportunity to destroy them.

With everyone attacking each other and fighting each other like this, the atmosphere in West Turkic became very dignified.

And with the start of the conquest, many originally good tribes slowly fell.

Some Turkic tribes also became a little unbearable.

After all, they are foreigners.

Among these Turkic tribes, Mozak's tribe suddenly changed from the previous 8000 people to the current 3000 people.

This made Mozak incapable of surviving in Western Turks.

As long as you encounter some enemies, they may be wiped out at any time.

This made Mozak very worried.

The grasslands in early autumn are already bleak and the wind is blowing, but some pastures in West Turkic are still green.

It has not been hit by drought.

"Ugh!"

In the big tent of the army, Mozak suddenly sighed. In the big tent, a group of soldiers looked at each other, and their expressions were not very good.

They are very aware of their current situation. If they don't want to break the situation, they will really be annexed by other tribes in Western Turks.

Annexation means genocide.

"Everyone, in this situation, what good ideas do you have?"

Mozak glanced at the crowd, then asked, everyone looked at each other, at this moment, a man came out: "Boss, we can go back, back to our grassland."

This man is not very old, only in his twenties, he is a cousin of Mo Zha Ke, his name is Mo Xiang.

After hearing Mo Xiang's words, the others trembled.

"Go back, then we are afraid that we will die faster."

"That's right, the current Tang Dynasty is really terrifying. They still have [-] soldiers and horses left on the grassland, and as soon as we enter their territory, they will immediately lead their troops to surround and kill us. At that time, can we be Tang Jun's opponent?"

"Tang Jun's Tang Dao and Mo Dao teams are too powerful, we will die when we go back, we can't go back."

"........."

They were all frightened by Tang Jun, so that after mentioning Tang Jun, they all showed a little fear.

However, Mo Xiang smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said: "It is true that everyone's worries are not unreasonable. The Tang army is indeed very powerful, but don't forget that the grassland is now hit by drought, and many herdsmen have no source of livelihood. Going on, they have become barbaric. They are constantly trying to find ways to plunder. If we return to the grassland and recruit these people, we may soon be able to expand the army. What's wrong with going back to the Western Turks to fight for territory when the time comes?"

Perhaps, they are still not the opponents of the Tang army, but it is possible to go to their former grasslands to recruit some soldiers and horses, and then come to the Western Turks to fight for territory, right?

Mozak's expression moved slightly, he saw an opportunity.
