Chapter 188: Plot (1)

"Why did you stop me just now? The situation is unclear now. If you rashly order an attack on the city, our army will be doomed if we are ambushed by the Tang army."

"You also know that I have just taken the throne of Khan. My foundation is not stable yet, and the tribes have complaints about me."

"If we fail in this southward expedition, what will be the consequences? Do you understand?" Ba Zhuo was a little dissatisfied, and his tone was much heavier than usual. "

Khan! I understand what you said!" said the Han woman.

"Since you understand everything, why do you do this? Why?" Ba Zhuo questioned.

"I do this for you, Khan, but Khan doesn't understand my good intentions." said the Han woman.

"What? For me? How can you say that?" Bazhuo was puzzled. How could it be for his own good?

"Khan! Whether you come to attack the Tang Dynasty or not, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty will not let Xueyantuo go, because Xueyantuo is a hidden danger on the border of the Tang Dynasty." "

Once the Tang Dynasty returns from Goguryeo, the first thing to do is to destroy Xueyantuo to prevent future troubles."

"The tribes inside Xueyantuo may not be loyal to Khan. What are their plans? Khan should know without me telling you." The Han woman said.

"I know all this, but what does this have to do with you doing it for my own good?" Bazhuo said.

"Of course, Khan, don't forget that once the Tang army attacks, the people of this tribe will definitely surrender to the Tang Dynasty first, and then lead the Tang army to destroy Xueyantuo."

"Khan! By then, Xueyantuo will no longer exist and will disappear forever in the northern desert. At that time, Khan will not only have to face the attack of the Tang army."

"They will also have to face the attacks of these traitors, and they will also have to face these people stabbing the Khan in the back. With enemies from all sides, how can Xueyantuo not perish?" said the Han woman.

Bazhuo naturally knew all this in his heart, which was why Bazhuo had just taken the throne and wanted to mobilize his troops to attack the Tang Dynasty in the south.

In addition to Xueyantuo's dissatisfaction with the Tang Dynasty, they wanted to take advantage of Li Er's expedition to Goguryeo to catch the Tang Dynasty off guard.

This is also one of the important reasons why Bazhuo sent troops south to attack the Tang Dynasty.

Bazhuo did not send troops blindly, but sent troops with a purpose, in order to transfer the internal contradictions of the Xueyantuo Khanate to the outside.

By the way, he can also use the power of the Tang Dynasty to help himself integrate the internal contradictions of the Xueyantuo Khanate.

It has to be said that Bazhuo's idea is very stupid and naive. Not

only did he not take the opportunity to integrate the internal affairs, but he would accelerate the demise of the Xueyantuo Khanate in advance.

"Then you say, what should we do now?" Bazhuo frowned. The Han woman was right.

If he could not take advantage of this opportunity to tie the various tribes and the Xueyantuo tribe together, the Xueyantuo Khanate would inevitably face the disaster of national destruction.

"Launch an attack on Wantong City and take Wantong City at all costs." The Han woman said.

Bazhuo was stunned!

Is this woman crazy?

It was still unknown whether the Tang Dynasty would mobilize troops and set up defenses along the Great Wall. Now he had to march forward at all costs to capture Wantong City.

How was this possible? The tribes would not agree.

The Xueyantuo soldiers were still okay, he could suppress them, but it was hard to say about the tribes.

"Your idea is too radical, I'm afraid it won't work. The tribes will definitely not agree. The Xueyantuo troops alone cannot capture Wantong City." Ba Zhuo said.

If his vanguard army had not been destroyed by the Loss of Thought, he might have been able to suppress the other tribes.

Now he only had 20,000 soldiers left, and it would not be easy to suppress the 50,000-strong coalition of other tribes.

If a real fight breaks out, there will only be heavy losses. If the Tang army takes the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, his entire army may be wiped out.

Doing so is too dangerous, and Ba Zhuo cannot agree to it no matter what.

"That's why, Khan, you should send troops to attack Wantong City."

"The Tang army has mobilized troops from various states to guard Shengzhou, Shuozhou, and Lingzhou. It needs time to recruit troops and then rush to these places to complete the assembly. It will take at least half a month."

"By that time, we will have captured Wantong City and captured the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty alive. Think about it, Khan, Li Chengqian is one of Li Shimin's beloved sons."

"As long as we catch him, the Tang people will be afraid to do anything to Xueyantuo. With this bargaining chip in hand, we can negotiate terms with Li Shimin."

"Only by breaking through Wantong City, capturing Li Chengqian alive, and keeping him firmly in our hands, will Xueyantuo have a chance of survival." said the Han woman.

The Tang army recruited soldiers from the Tang territory to Shengzhou, Shuozhou, and Lingzhou. The journey was long and short, and it took a long time to gather at the destination.

During this time, if a strong attack was launched on Wantong City, it would definitely be able to capture Wantong City before the Tang army finished gathering.

This is not the crux of the problem. The key is that these tribes will not agree with his order to attack.

They may even hinder his strong attack on Wantong City.

"You are absolutely right! But the key is not Wantong City, but that the tribes may not agree with our plan of strong attack." Ba Zhuo expressed his concerns.

"This is easy to do! As long as the Khan gathers the leaders of all tribes in the big tent, and then orders a strong attack on Wantong City."

"When the time comes, if any large tribe opposes, the Khan will capture all the leaders of these large tribes and take away their military power."

"Let the soldiers of their tribe launch the attack first, so that we can not only break through Wantong City, but also weaken their strength."

"As for small tribes like the Jiuli tribe, as long as we capture those large tribes, we don't have to worry about these small tribes at all."

"Then, the Khan can take the opportunity to win over these small tribes, which will be beneficial to the Khan!"

"The Khan can also transfer some large troops from the Khanate." The Han woman said.

The strength of the large tribes has threatened the Xueyantuo. If you want to stop this phenomenon, you must suppress and weaken the large tribes.

By helping some small tribes to grow stronger, Xueyantuo could also take advantage of the opportunity to eat up some of the benefits of the big tribes, and then distribute some small profits to the small tribes.

Let these small tribes compete with the big tribes, and Xueyantuo would mediate.

As the two tribes grow stronger, Xueyantuo will be able to dominate the world. When the big tribes are weakened to a certain extent,

the entire northern desert will not have any strength to fight against Xueyantuo, and Xueyantuo will be able to take the opportunity to annex these tribes.

Xueyantuo will be transformed from a khanate of a tribal alliance into a true empire with only one voice.

From then on, Xueyantuo will no longer be checked and controlled by the tribes.

Xueyantuo will be the real master of northern desert.

Bazhuo was overjoyed after hearing this. Why didn't he think of this method? As long as he controlled the generals of these big tribes, their soldiers would become his soldiers.

Who would dare to disobey his orders when the time comes?
