bastard seizes tang

Chapter 62
"Boom, boom, boom."

The sound like thunder echoed on the grassland, from near to far, rolling away, resounding throughout the vast grassland.

Li Ke rode his horse and stood on the top of the small hill, watching the Turkic Qingqi cavalry down the mountain and back and forth like a stream, he couldn't help but sigh and shake in his heart.

Although the Turks were barren and difficult to produce in the Tang Dynasty, the endless grasslands of the Turks were excellent natural pastures, and the number of war horses was far from that of the Tang Dynasty at the beginning of the founding of the country.

"This king knew that Jieli had the intention of establishing prestige, but he didn't expect it to be such a big deal." Li Ke pointed to the Turkic horsemen with endless banners at the front and back, and said to Wang Xuance beside him.

Wang Xuance nodded and said, "Looking at the scale of this Turkic Huqi, I'm afraid there are as many as 5 people."

Li Ke turned his head and looked at Wang Xuance, with a bit of envy in his tone, and said to Wang Xuance: "The Turkic people are good at riding and shooting, and they have many good horses. If my Tang cavalry can have such a large scale, why should we be afraid of aliens? The world must also."

Wang Xuance looked at Li Ke with envious eyes. Although he didn't want to pour cold water on Li Ke, he still said: "The Turks are strong and their soldiers are vigorous. Even with the power of the Tang Dynasty, we may not be able to compete head-on with the Turks. High and low, His Highness wants the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty at the current scale. I am afraid it will not be easy."

Hearing this, Li Ke shook his head firmly and said: "In my king's opinion, although this Turkic is strong, it is by no means invincible. I dare to bet with my husband that within ten years, this Turkic grassland will become our country." Datang’s horse ranch.”

Li Ke's words were convincing, as if in front of Li Ke's eyes, the elite of the Tang Dynasty had already overwhelmed the territory.

Wang Xuance couldn't understand Li Ke's serious appearance, Wang Xuance asked in puzzlement, "Where does Your Highness say that?"

Li Ke pouted his lips towards the Turkic cavalry at the foot of the mountain, and said, "Don't you think that the current Jieli Khan is very similar to Fu Chai, the king of Wu in the Huangchi Huimeng?"

In [-] B.C., King Fu Chai of Wu defeated the Qi State and wiped out [-] Qi troops. He was full of ambition, regardless of the danger of the Yue State behind him, and insisted on going his own way. He won the position of the overlord who was in vain, but lost the crown prince and the state of Wu.

Li Ke is now comparing Jieli Khan to Fucha, which is also a sign of the collapse of the Turks.

However, Wang Xuance did not fully agree with Li Ke's words. Wang Xuance said: "The demise of the state of Wu is when the heaven is lost, the land is lost, the harmony is lost, and the husband's difference is all lost. Tyrannical, fighting for years, but the geographical advantage and timing have not been lost, it may not be easy to win in one battle."

As a civil servant, Wang Xuance has never had any experience in the army, so it is really rare to see this step, but although Li Ke has speculations in his heart, it is by no means convenient to argue with Wang Xuance.

Li Ke can never tell Wang Xuance that by the end of this year, the Turks will lose their weather and usher in a winter once in a century. Countless cattle and sheep on the grassland will freeze to death, and the Turkic people will also suffer catastrophe. More than half.

And just after the Turkic cold disaster, Datang also took advantage of the situation to go northward and seized Shuofang, which had been stolen by the Turkic lackeys since the end of the Sui Dynasty. Due to the geographical advantage, the offensive and defensive positions between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks were changed, and they no longer had the capital to be an enemy of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Ke just smiled, and said to Wang Xuance: "No one can be sure about the future, but this king firmly believes in the saying, "If you get the right way, you can help the wrong way."

Seeing Li Ke's self-confidence, Wang Xuance felt relieved, but when he spoke again, he saw Zhao Deyan coming behind them.

"Zhao Deyan is here, Your Highness is silent." Wang Xuance saw Zhao Deyan approaching, and whispered to Li Ke.

Li Ke stopped talking when he heard Wang Xuance's warning, and looked down the mountain as if he was enjoying the scenery.

"Zhao Deyan sees the third prince, and Khan ordered me to come and lead the third prince there, and invite the third prince to go with me." Zhao Deyan walked behind Li Ke, and cupped his hands at Li Ke.

When Li Ke heard Zhao Deyan's voice, he also acted as if he had just discovered Zhao Deyan, turned around, cupped his hands as well, and said with a smile to Zhao Deyan: "It turns out that it is Zhao Deyan. If the king is polite, it is Khan who is polite." Please ask Zhao Xiang to lead the way."

Zhao Deyan's official homage to the Turkic Pasha is similar to the position of the servant of the lower province of the Tang Dynasty, with a high position and authority. It is not wrong for Li Ke to call him Zhao Xiang.

As for Li Ke's title, Zhao Deyan's face did not show the slightest wave of emotion, as if the title of the prime minister did not bring the slightest sense of honor to his heart.

It stands to reason that Zhao Deyan, as a Han, betrayed his own country and traveled thousands of miles to join the enemy's country, isn't it for the so-called prosperity and wealth?But Zhao Deyan's reaction was so flat, and Zhao Deyan didn't feel like those simple greedy people to Li Ke, so Li Ke suddenly couldn't understand him.

"Where is Zhao Xiang from?" On the way to the entrance of the hunting ground, Li Ke looked at the unpredictable Zhao Deyan beside him, and asked tentatively.

Zhao Deyan replied: "My ancestral home is Bingzhou."

"Bingzhou?"

Li Ke listened to Zhao Deyan's words, and then continued: "Bingzhou is the place where my Tang Dynasty prospered, and you and I are half of the villagers."

The Tang Dynasty started its army in Taiyuan, Bingzhou, and it controlled the world. Li Ke was already half a native of Taiyuan, so there was nothing wrong with that.

The so-called four great joys in life are meeting old friends in other places.On the Mobei grassland, it is naturally a joyful thing to meet a fellow countryman. Li Ke said this in order to draw closer to Zhao Deyan.

However, Zhao Deyan was obviously not moved by Li Ke's overtures.

Zhao Deyan was half modest, half perfunctory: "The third prince is the prince of the Tang Dynasty. I was born in the city. He is just a peasant in the countryside. How dare he cling to the third prince."

The surname of Zhao originated in the State of Zhao in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Although the surname Zhao prospered in Bingzhou, it declined rapidly with the demise of the State of Zhao. What he said also made sense.

Li Ke also heard the perfunctory meaning in Zhao Deyan's mouth, but he became more and more curious about Zhao Deyan.

Looking at Zhao Deyan's appearance, is it possible that he really has no distracting thoughts and is Jieli's loyal minister?If not, how could he turn a blind eye to Li Ke's overtures, and instead deliberately distance himself?
Li Ke walked slowly behind Zhao Deyan, looking at Zhao Deyan's back, he felt more and more that this person was not simple.

Li Ke leaned in Wang Xuance's ear, and said softly to Wang Xuance: "After the spring hunting, find someone to check Zhao Deyan, this king wants to know his background."

　Last night, Jinyan lost his mobile phone when he was sitting on Didi. It can be said that he finished these two chapters with a heavy heart, full of tears.I hope I can meet a good person and send it back, although I know that there is little hope.
