It's not that Kang Sumi doesn't want to refute Tang Jian, it's because he has no way to refute Tang Jian!
As Tang Jian said, no one can understand the changes in the Tang Dynasty and the Turks better than himself in recent years!
Three years ago, when the Turks went to the Tang Dynasty, it was like entering an uninhabited land! Burning, killing, looting, taking everything! Those quail-like Tang people could only crawl on the ground and pray for them to leave.
When the Turks went to Datang two years ago, they would have to pay a lot of price to break through the border town. And the people inside are no longer as easy to bully as quails. There are often people like the wild dogs on the grassland, taking advantage of darkness or when there are few people to do something dirty and cause trouble! As a result, they became frightened at night, for fear of a hail of arrows or a few boulders coming from somewhere!
A year ago, at this time, most Turkic troops were no longer able to break through the heavily guarded military town! You can only fight in the autumn wind in nearby villages and rob some unlucky merchants or poor people. The harvest is often pitiful, and it is not even enough to cover the cost of a trip.
As for this year, it’s even more outrageous!
Not only was the autumn wind in the village unable to hit them, they were also injured a lot by Tang soldiers, including men and horses, who could rush out from anywhere!
His brother was accidentally targeted by a group of Tang cavalry. After a bloody battle, he finally escaped back to the Turks after paying a heavy price.
"You are right, the grassland belongs to the Turks! But it does not belong to Jieli!"
Looking at Kang Sumi, who looked a little pale, Tang Jian, who felt that the time was completely ripe, smiled solemnly and repeated what he had just said.
This imprisoned old fox was laughing and joking all the way, until then, it finally showed its sharp fangs.
"Three years ago, Jieli gave our emperor a big gift! Since then, our emperor has never wanted to return this gift!
So we spent three years cultivating people's livelihood, forging weapons, and training soldiers. We plan to give him an unforgettable gift this year!
However, although this vast and fertile grassland allows us to gallop, it cannot allow us to live. When everything is over, it will still be returned to you Turks! I just don’t know if it will be returned to you or someone else when the time comes...? "
"What, you actually want to attack us!"
Tang Jian's calm words sounded like a thunderbolt in Kang Sumi's ears! It shocked him so much that he jumped up from his seat and pointed tremblingly at the ugly little old man in front of him.
"right!"
Facing Kang Sumi, Tang Jian did not hide it anymore, but admitted it generously and told him that he heard it right!
Attacking the Turks this year is a sure thing! And counting the time, it will start soon! Even if Kang Sumi in front of him refused to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, Tang Jian was not afraid that he would leak the news.
Because Tang Jian knew very well: For the Turks with a loose structure, it often takes a month or two to gather together!
Not to mention that on the unobstructed grassland, there is no danger at all! Even if they get the news in advance, what's the use besides running faster?
"You might as well tell the general that our Emperor will form a ten-pronged army this time, and a total of 600,000 warriors will march into the grassland! What do you think your chances of winning are in this nationwide battle?"
Tang Jian's voice continued to be heard faintly, but when this small voice reached Kang Sumi's ears, it was another bolt from the blue!
Ten armies, 600,000 soldiers!
This is a force that can destroy a country and exterminate a clan! When the Turks were in their heyday, they were nothing more than that!
But what can the Turks do now to resist the 600,000 Tang soldiers who look like wolves and tigers?
"Impossible!" Kang Sumi gritted his teeth, a stream of blood flowing down the corner of his mouth, looking particularly ferocious.
"You are lying to me again! Where are you going to find an army of 600,000 people! Even if there are 600,000 people, where are the horses? How many horses does your Tang Dynasty have? One hundred thousand, or two hundred thousand! Without horses, let alone six hundred thousand People, even six million people, have to die of exhaustion on the grassland! You want to deceive me with such a little trick? Hahaha~"
As if he had caught the loophole in Tang Jian's words, Kang Sumi suddenly laughed nervously, his voice was like a night owl, especially harsh.
However, a few fluttering words soon came out of Tang Jian's mouth, which made Kang Sumi's laughter suddenly stop. Then he stood there for a long time, and finally collapsed on the ground helplessly.
"Assault on the Khan, the Western Turks!" This is what Tang Jian said. One represents the brother of the former Great Khan, and the other represents a powerful force that is not weaker than the Turks.
"They have all joined forces with you? What about last year's Khitan, Capricorn..." Sitting on the cold ground, Kang Sumi looked at Tang Jian with a sad smile.
Tang Jian still looked as calm as a mountain, and just nodded slightly, indicating that his guess was good.
"call……"
Seeing the expected answer, Kang Sumi slowly closed his eyes, feeling that the anger that was stuck in his chest was gradually released!
For a battle-hardened general, the outcome of this upcoming war is already doomed even before it begins.
On one side is Datang, which has been planning for many years, linking forces from all sides, and becoming increasingly powerful.
On the one side are the Turks who are confused and pursuing life and death every day. Who is victorious and strategic can be known at a glance!
"What do you want from me? What do I get?"
Now that things have come to this, Kang Sumi no longer wants to argue with Tang Jian about his lust for words. How to plan his own way out is the most important thing!
The Turks have a very vague concept of the country and the king, and they do not have the great spirit of "repaying the king's favor on the golden platform, supporting the jade dragon and dying for the king", so betraying Jieli Khan is as simple as eating and drinking water.
Of course, if someone jumps out and asks him to go on a hunger strike, he also needs to see if the price he gives is appropriate.
"Actually, we don't need the general to do anything."
Tang Jian smiled kindly at Kang Sumi, whose expression became calmer, and then said word by word: "We only hope that you can take your direct troops to hide aside and not get involved in this muddy water. Of course, if you If you can provide me with some information by the way, that would be even more perfect!"
"Just let me sit on the sidelines?"
After hearing Tang Jian's request, Kang Sumi was slightly surprised.
He originally thought that Tang Jian would let him fight back or assassinate Jie Li!
If that were the case, he would definitely slap the little old man to death with a smile!
Do you really think that the Turks are fools and are allowed to be played around by you Tang people? Instigate an internal fight with just one mouth?
But now, Tang Jian only needs to lead his troops and not wade into troubled waters?
On the other hand, doesn't it mean that he is confident that he can defeat Jie Li without his own help!
"There seems to be nothing wrong with just watching from the sidelines."
Kang Sumi, whose mind was spinning rapidly, quietly imagined: after the two sides engaged in a shocking battle, each was exhausted and covered with bruises!
At this time, he would lead the mended prairie men to charge out and annihilate both sides in one fell swoop. Wouldn't it be a good idea to reap the benefits!
