1037 The overall situation is the most important, it is better to fight
Unlike the cold, bitter and desolate place where the tribes gather around it, and the work is difficult, the Turkic tent is much more lively and prosperous.
The newly established den of the Gu Dulu brothers in Yu Dujun Mountain was naturally not the one in the Eastern Turkic period in the early years, but they were even more successful when it came to glory. After Mo Chuo took power, he invested more manpower and material resources in the construction of the den.
The huge tents standing among the mountains are almost the same as the rolling mountains around them. The flags and flags are arranged around them. Whether you look from a distance or close, they are all majestic and majestic, and the scale is no less than the tower halls of the two capitals of the Tang Dynasty. Just one main tent is enough to accommodate thousands of people to gather and have a banquet, and the space is still calm and relaxed.
There are several Khan tents of similar specifications in the surrounding areas, each of which serve different purposes. Some live in beautiful women offered by various tribes, while others are dedicated to the living and living of Khan's wives and children.
There are thousands to tens of thousands of royal guards stationed around each large tent, protecting the security of the large tent. As for which big tent Khan visits, it is absolutely confidential. It is a serious crime to behead him if he dares to discuss and inquire in private.
In addition to these large tents that cover the ground and the sky, there are many urban buildings similar to the Tang Dynasty style in the tent area.
Mochu Khan was not a native rich man in Mobei. Before his brothers had risen, they had always lived in the southern part of the Mobei area near the border town of the Tang Kingdom. They were hereditary military officers of the Yunzhong Protectorate. They even often went in and out of cities and towns in the Tang Kingdom and were deeply influenced by the people's livelihood customs.
A powerful civilization always exudes a charm that makes people indulge intoxicated. Just as when the Tang Dynasty started its business and the Turks were still strong, many nobles from the Tang Dynasty were willing to imitate the daily habits of Turkic nobles. They clearly had a warm pavilion but did not live in it, but they wanted to live in the tent with a strong Hu Qi.
Nowadays, the strength and weakness are easy to do, which is particularly obvious in the Gu Dulu brothers. As native Monan Hu people, their yearning for the system and customs of the Tang Dynasty is also fascinated by the heart.
At the beginning of the creation of the dental tent, in order to cater to the feelings of these compatriots and wealthy chiefs in Mobei, they still restrained Tang Feng's imitation. However, as the situation in the dental tent became more stable, the suppressed impulse of desire became more and more revealed.
Especially after the establishment of the Three Surrender City and blocked the Turks' journey to the south, it was probably to make up for the regrets in his heart. Mochu even planned a majestic city with the tent as the center, and it was also divided and managed according to the structure of the Tang Dynasty's city.
However, there are many artificial materials in Mobei. The planned Xiongcheng has been working for several years and has only built some intermittent earth rammed walls, and various building buildings are even more difficult to mention.
However, the Fangqu management system of the Tang Dynasty was learned more thoroughly. The tens of thousands of tents of Hu people who were directly governed by the former tribe chiefs, Qu, were no longer managed by the former tribe chiefs, but were divided under different Tutuns. These Tutuns no longer lived in the tribe for a long time, and they had to visit Khan's tent every day to report the number of households and the gains and losses of the animals.
Based on this change in management system and organizational methods, Mochu Khan's overall power may not be as strong as his predecessors, but he has stronger control over the population situation around the dental tent, and even knows how many horses a month produces in the pastoral circle.
Such a meticulous and meticulous management model is naturally not competent for the rough and uncivilized Turkic powerful people. And the Tang people who are familiar with document processing are not those who are currently in the Turkic situation that can recruit and appoint large numbers.
Therefore, the people who assisted Mochu Khan in managing tribal civil affairs were mainly Hu people from the Western Regions west of Jinshan. Most of these Hu people in the Western Regions made a living through commerce and might not have very clever administrative management commands, but they were extremely sensitive to the recording and sorting of numbers.
The Hu people in the Western Regions were able to assist in the management of the tribes, but also brought a rich and diverse commodity goods to Mochukhan, which greatly improved the living standards and material enjoyment of the den, and naturally gained more trust from Mochukhan.
Therefore, these Hu merchants in the Western Regions had a strong power in the den. Because they cut off the road to the south and plunder, in order to continuously obtain goods from these Hu merchants, Mochu divided them into their vast pastures and numerous minions, and even allowed them to participate in the military and political decisions of the den.
Among them is a Kang Guo Xihu named Kang Daibin. He moved to Mobei since his ancestors and mainly operated commerce between Mobei and the Western Regions. At its peak, there were nearly 10,000 horse teams that obeyed their orders and commands.
As Mochu saw the Hu people in the Western Regions, Kang Daibin naturally fell into the eyes of Khan. He led his troops to the tent and soon became a favorite minister of Khan. In order to show his importance to Kang Daibin, Mochu even violated the Turkic ancestors' laws and granted him the official position of Shi Lifa who was not allowed to hold by Ashina's children, and became an important military and political counselor in the tent.
During this period, in order to discuss resisting the northern expedition of the Tang army, the Turks and the powerful people came to the tent and discussed it endlessly.
In fact, the situation is already like this, and there are not many choices before the Turks. It is nothing more than fighting or surrender. Perhaps there is another option, which is to give up Yu Dujunshan's tent and escape, lengthen the supply line of the Tang army, and let the harsh weather in the north of the Mo River drag down the Tang army's military power.
Around this topic, the Turkic powerful people also held one side and argued endlessly. Even Khan Mochu could not suppress the debates of all parties and unify their opinions.
Today's regular meeting in the den is a common dispute and it is apart. After the masses left, Mochuo kept Kang Daibin and asked, "Do you think there is any reason for what Ye Hufan said just now?"
Ye Huduo was Mochuo's younger brother. He was Khan's right-hand man as early as the Gu Dulu period. Even if he had not given up, Mochuo, who had lived in Monan for a long time in his early years, would have been difficult for him to successfully inherit the Khan's position.
Regarding this northern expedition of the Tang army, Du Xifu had always wanted the two sides to start a war directly. At today's meeting, it was proposed to send envoys to deliver the surrender letter, abandoning the southern part of the desert, which was not under control, in exchange for the enthronement of the Tang Dynasty in the northern part of the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time, it was requested that the Tang Dynasty return the Mojilian that had been trapped in the Tang Dynasty.
Kang Daibin was in his fifties, with green eyes and beard, and a big belly. His appearance was very different from that of the Turkic powerful people. When he heard Khan's question, he lowered his head and said, "Ye Hu belonged to Khan's close relatives, and he was also in a high position and had a high position. Everything he thought about must be based on the overall situation..."
"So, do you think that as long as I am a minister in the south, I can avoid this military disaster?"
Hearing Kang Daibin's answer, Mochu's face suddenly darkened and he snorted unhappy: "Who is the overall situation of such thoughts? In previous years, my brothers were just slaves from the southern Mo area. They gradually grew stronger by relying on continuous battles. Xuanwei, the northern Mo area has now come to the Tang army to surrender and submit a surrender before the war is completed. How can we see more important than internal and external?"
Khan was obviously unwilling to surrender directly, but the people led by Du Situ did not want the war to start on Yu Dujun Mountain. The Tang Dynasty planned a northern expedition for many years. Once the war began, no matter the outcome, the Turks would have to pay a heavy price.
Previously, the little Khan suffered a crushing defeat in Moji and was kidnapped by the vanguard of the Tang army, which reawakened the fear of these Turkic powerful men being suppressed and dominated by the Tang army in the early years. No one dared to be arrogant and arrogant and would win.
Although surrendering and surrendering seems a bit timid, it is a relatively safe approach to judge the past. The geographical environment in northern Mobei is like this. Even if you surrender, it is difficult for the Tang Kingdom to directly station troops and rule. It is inevitable that it will be necessary to establish a set of orders of restrained rule based on the current situation.
After the fall of the Eastern Turks, Yu Dujunshan was once controlled by the Tiel tribes, and the Turkic chiefs who were originally high and became the target of oppression and humiliation by the Tiel tribes. Therefore, when the Gu Dulu brothers returned to the north of the Mo, the tribes responded, allowing the Turks to take control of Yu Dujunshan again.
If the war really starts and fails, the last bit of spark embers of the Turkic country will be gone.
Even if it is victorious, after paying a huge price, the Ashin family will not be able to have enough power to suppress other tribes. If the instigation and provocation of the Tang Kingdom, Tiel tribes will rise up and attack, and it will only be a matter of time before the Turks will be driven out of the Mobei again.
Therefore, in terms of the overall interests of the Turkic tribe, no matter what the outcome of this battle is, it will do more harm than good. On the contrary, as long as you lower your head and admit defeat, the Tang Dynasty will have no motivation and need to fight.
Although this was a great damage to the prestige of the Turks, at least its strength was preserved and it was still able to deal with various riots and challenges in the suppression area.
But as the leader, Mochu's thoughts and concerns must be more extreme. Once any form of concession is made this time, it will be a great damage to his personal prestige. Moreover, the Tang Kingdom has always been full of bad water. They may retain the Turkic balance of the situation in the northern desert, but it is not necessary for Mochu, the Turkic Khan.
Not to mention anything else, as long as you surrender without fighting against the Turks this time, you will show the domineering spirit of the sect leader to the Hu Hu of Mobei again. Then the Tang Kingdom will not need to send the captured Mojilian back and endorse the little Khan with the title of the Tang court, then huge cracks will appear within the Turks.
When Jie Li Khan was in the Wei River, he was indeed powerful, but he could not defend against Tuli, the shit pit dug by Tang State. Not to mention Mo Chuo's prestige, the power is far inferior to Jie Li Khan of the past. If he really dared to take a step back, the Tang State would not even need to dig another pit. He could not resist directly by stuffing Mo Ji even this shit into his mouth.
For Mochuo, the current situation is really that I am going to fight to the death, and you and others want to surrender first. The people in the army are unstable. Even if they want to fight, he dare not even leave the tent easily, worried that he had just led his army to leave, and then the white flag was already raised.
At present, the masses can still gather around the tent, in order to maintain the integrity of the Turkic system. I was worried that the Tang Dynasty would understand the current situation of the disintegration and disintegration of the people within the Turkic people, and perhaps even the treatment of the leader of the northern Mobei prisoners would not be given.
In the final analysis, as long as you kneel once, your waist, knees, muscles and bones will not be as strong as before.
The pain of the country's destruction has been experienced. The facts have proved that it is not a catastrophe. Who is willing to give up everything and die with the country? As long as you kneel early enough, you will be an invincible teacher. If you kneel down, you may be better.
In other words, if the Gu Dulu brothers hadn't started their own business in Monan, and would they have taken the turn to return to Mobei to become kings and dominance in the subsequent resumption of the country?
There are many rich men in Mobei who hold similar ideas. Even if they hate them deeply, Mo Chuo is helpless at the moment. The reason why he attracts foreign tyrants such as Chongkang and Huibin is also the intention to get rid of the crowd control.
Seeing Kang Daibin just silent, Mo Chuo sneered: "If you are not under my rule, how could you enjoy this power and power? As long as you refuse to give up the power and wealth in your hands, I will be a benefactor who is more close than your father and your ancestors! Now I do not want to surrender and be humiliated, I must first win and kill the masses. If you don't fight to the death, you will be willing to be humiliated and you will not be able to die!"
When Kang Daibin heard these vicious words, his forehead was filled with cold sweat and he kowtowed repeatedly: "Even though I am a lowly gangster, I can be grateful and know the righteousness... Where is the Lord of the Man in the world, and is not as kind as the Khan as the Khan, who is loyal to his life, and keeps his favor to him without any thoughts!"
