Chapter 157 What is Post-Turkic?

Before the sky was dawn, Bai Xiaojie had already retreated into the city with his palace guards and entourages, leaving only an empty camp.

After returning to the camp, Chen Guang was naturally called by Li Shouzhong to participate in the military aircraft. Of course, Chen Guang was listening throughout the whole process and did not express any opinions. The situation is not clear at the moment, and he did not understand the situation of the Yiwu army and the geography of Yizhou. It would be better that Chen Shu was silent.

Chen Guang, who had been sleeping for a while in the middle of the night, was still in good spirits. At this time, all the horses from Changxingfang in Yiwu City had been sent. According to the clerk who came, he could recruit all the strong men under forty in the city before this morning, and the local tyrants also gathered nearly two hundred cavalry to accompany the army.

"Langjun, are we going to fight against the Turks?"

In the temporary camp, the Kucha family and the men were very excited. They had killed a group of horse thieves in the desert before, which was only a small test for them and worthy of praise. However, this time they were recruited by the Yiwu army, and they had to go to battle with the thieves.

"I'm sure I'll be together, most of the people who come back this time are Turkic."

"Mr. Lang, I heard from Aye that the Khans of the Turks were all cut off their heads and sent to Chang'an City. Didn't the Turks fall into ruin? Why do you have the courage to provoke our Tang Dynasty?"

Someone from Han'er asked that their luggage had been packed long ago. After arriving at the camp last night, the veterans forced them to sleep all night. They were all full of energy. They were limited by their own knowledge and did not know the situation of the Turks.

It is rare to have time now, and Chen Guang doesn't mind talking about Turkic people with these young subordinates, although he mostly heard it from Feng Changqing.

"Sit down!"

After everyone formed a circle, Chen Guang began to say, "The Turks were originally overlords on the grassland, but they were Rouran's slaves at first. When they arrived in the previous dynasty, they once controlled millions of strings... It was not until the time of Emperor Taizong of this dynasty that Li Jing, the chief general of Jie Li Khan, rushed to the tent of Jie Li Khan in snowy night, and pacified the eastern Turks."

"But after all, the Turks were once a great country with a territory of thousands of miles, and countless tribes annexed. After that, the Western Turks and the Later Turks were once in trouble. Do you know that the Uighurs today, Basimi, Geluo and Tuqishi were all Turkish subordinates."

"Last year, the Uighurs Goulian Basimi and Geluo rebeled from the Hou Turks, and then killed the Baimei Khan. The remaining Hou Turks' remnants in the past six months have not had a good life on the grassland!"

"Langjun, since the Turks have died later, why do you have the strength to attack the border?"

"The Uighurs are now known as the overlord, but the position of this overlord is not very stable. The people of Gelulu and Basimir will not work hard to deal with the remnants of the Later Turks..."

Speaking of this, Chen Guang couldn't help but think that the Uighurs who became bigger after the Anshi Rebellion changed their name to Uighurs, but they burned, killed and looted Chang'an City several times, and couldn't help but sneer, "The Uighurs are not a good bird, maybe they drove the remnants of the Later Turkic sins to provoke our Tang Dynasty, so that they could kill people by borrowing a knife!"

This was all part of Chen Guang's own guess, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt it made sense. Speaking of which, since the Turks were destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, the rest of the Turks had already been obedient to the Tang Dynasty. There were even a large number of Turkic nobles who were attached to Nantou and became loyal ministers and generals of the Tang Dynasty. Just like more than half of the Yiwu army were Turkic soldiers with registered household registration in the Tang Dynasty, they had long since stopped treating themselves as Turkic people.

The white-eyed Khan Ashina Gu Longfu, who was cut down by the Uighurs, regarded the Tang Dynasty as Aye. After the last Turkic Khan was chopped off this year, Chen Guang remembered that Feng Changqing sighed for a long time, thinking that Guli Peiluo, the great leader who was named by the Uighurs in the court, was a mistake in formally admitting their status.

The Later Turks were just dead dogs, but the Uighurs were the majority of the rise of Ranran. When it came to attack the Later Turks, Feng Changqing felt that the Tang Dynasty was used by the Uighurs, but this was the decision of the saint, so he could only complain to Shen Guangfa in private.

"Chen Lang has a good experience!"

Although the good kids and men from Kucha were fascinated by the story of Chen Guang, they did not understand the profound meaning. However, when Li Shouzhong, who had just come to the scene, could not help but speak out when he heard Chen Guang's final inference.

"Governor, these are all shallow opinions and cannot be counted."

Now the Uighurs are very obedient in the court, and the saints are highly rewarded. Chen Guang is not sure what Li Shouzhong is about to the Uighurs, so he hurriedly said.

"Why should Chen Lang be humble? If the Uighurs become bigger, they will definitely become a confidant of my Tang Dynasty like Xue Yantuo. That is, the treacherous and slandered in the court and deceived the holy hearing. Otherwise, how could the saints show the head of the White-Browed Khan's head?"

Li Shouzhong's family was loyal to the Tang Dynasty for three generations, and even the saints personally gave the country's surname. Naturally, he would not miss the Turks. However, when it comes to attacking the Turks, he had the same view as General Wang Zhongsi. It would be much better to keep the Later Turks to restrain the rise of Uighurs than the Uighurs who annexed the former land of the Turks after the Turks, and then a grassland overlord emerged.

Although Chen Guang is young, it is rare to have such vision and insight. At least Li Shouzhong asked himself that no one in the Yiwu army could see so long, and he thought that the Uighurs were his own relatives who were close to the Tang Dynasty.

All tribes on this grassland are wolves that cannot be fed. As long as they become strong, they will eventually retaliate against their masters!

"What is the governor said? There are some things that need to be cautious."

Regarding the story of the White-Brow Khan, Chen Guang also felt that the saint had done something too much. After all, he heard Feng Changqing say that General Wang Zhongsi just acted when he led his troops to fight, but even that would have allowed the Uighurs to take advantage of the right.

Originally, the remnants of the Later Turkic tribes should hate the Uighurs most, but the saint ordered the head of the Baimei Khan to be promoted, which was equivalent to raising hatred for the Uighurs. Although the Tang Dynasty was not afraid of the remnants of the Later Turkic tribes, there were many Turkic people who were loyal to the Tang Dynasty in the major border towns of the Tang Dynasty, which was a move that was always unpopular.

But this is at most a private complaint. If you really want to say it, it will offend the saint's power. Chen Guang is not afraid of going to the battlefield to fight for his life, but he is very frugal in this kind of thing. He also hopes that this increasingly stupid saint will become his help rather than resistance in the future.

Therefore, you must be more careful in your words and deeds, so as not to be recorded and used by those who are interested!

Hearing Chen Guang's seemingly pointing reminder, Li Shouzhong couldn't help but be surprised. Chen Lang was young, but he was not very cautious, and he looked like an old fox who had been with him in the officialdom for many years.

"Chen Lang said that, it's just a certain Meng Lang."

Li Shouzhong was not angry. Chen Guang's caution seemed very necessary in his opinion. After all, Chen Lang would go to Chang'an City in the future. It was not as straightforward as Anxi Beiting. There was always thunder in the court in silence, killing people without blood. This time he was taught.
