I'm a marquis in Datang

His biggest shortcoming is that he is weak-tempered, indecisive, and has no opinions of his own.

easily influenced.

Of course, this is also the reason why Arhan can preach.If Ju Wentai didn't have such a disposition, it would not be easy for Alhan to become the national teacher of Gaochang Kingdom.

Ju Wentai changed the subject and asked, "What will the national teacher gain from going to Yizhou?"

Alhan said: "I am going to Yizhou, I have three understandings."

Ju Wentai said: "National Teacher, please tell me."

Alhan said seriously: "The first aspect of understanding is to understand the situation of Du Qi, the lord of Yizhou, from various aspects. Originally, we didn't know much about Du Qi. During our stay in Yizhou, we had a profound understanding. learn."

"Du Qi was in his early twenties, and he was the founding king of Pingxi in the Tang Dynasty. This man made great achievements at a young age. It is said that the Eastern Turkic Jieli Khan who was entrenched in the east was planted in Du Qi hands."

"Du Qibing is extremely powerful."

"In addition, Du Qi is more talented in business, and has gathered countless money."

Alhan said: "Du Qi is both civil and military, capable of fighting and governing the country. Moreover, Du Qi first established himself in Suzhou, and the Tang general Su Dingfang swept Guazhou and Shazhou, and then entered Yizhou. Now he is eyeing Gaochang Kingdom, so I hurried back of."

"Ugh…"

Ju Wentai sighed.

Arhan said, "Why is the lord sighing?"

Ju Wentai said: "In the days when the national teacher left, there was already a dispute between the DPRK and China against Du Qi. The civil servants advocate that we take the initiative to build a relationship with Du Qi, and the two sides form an alliance and sign a covenant of non-aggression. The lineage of military commanders means that our Gaochang country has been established for many years, so we don’t have to be afraid of Du Qi, and we even have to take the initiative to attack in order to preemptive strikes.”

Chapter 761 Ju Wentai

Ju Wentai

Alhan asked, "How did the king choose?"

Ju Wentai looked embarrassed, and said: "This matter is too difficult to choose. How else can I choose? Naturally, I will temporarily put it on hold. If you want to form an alliance with Du Qi, you may not be able to form an alliance. As the national teacher said, Du Qi wants to It is useless to form an alliance if you send troops to kill them."

"Furthermore, it may not be feasible to start a war with Du Qi. This king is clear about our strength. I also understand the combat effectiveness of Du Qi's army."

"In Du Qi's battle at Yanmen Pass in the past, Du Qi overthrew the East Turks and entered a hundred thousand people. In the end, the Jieli Khan of the East Turks fell into Du Qi's hands. Even if Li Jing commanded the army, there was also Du Qi Qi Zai."

"In our Gaochang country, there are only 2 elites. Compared with the Turks, [-] people are too far behind. It is too difficult to attack Du Qi. Besides, behind Du Qi is Datang. We attack Du Qi , is equivalent to attacking Datang, how is this possible?"

Ju Wentai sighed and said, "Datang is a colossal monster, and even more so, a scourge that cannot be provoked."

Alhan smiled inwardly.

Ju Wentai has this in mind, and it will be much easier for him to persuade him to surrender.

Alhan continued: "Master, I understand the second aspect of Yizhou. The people in Yizhou regard Du Qi as a god. As long as Du Qi gives an order, all the people can be soldiers."

"Du Qi governed in Yizhou and exempted the people of Yizhou from agricultural tax and corvee for three years. Moreover, Du Qi continued to order officials to build fortifications and recruit people to work, making countless people work to earn money."

"There are also more and more people gathering in Yizhou. According to my knowledge, the population of Yizhou is no less than [-] households. Such a statistic is extremely terrifying."

"Because in the past, Yizhou was full of money and calculations. It is estimated that there were only about [-] households, or maybe not yet. It is Du Qi's credit that so many people have been added in a short period of time."

"Du Qi's policy has attracted too many people."

Alhan said: "Master, population means strength. Take our Gaochang Kingdom as an example. Under the ruler's hard work, Gaochang Kingdom is thriving, and now it is only about [-] households. Under this situation, the population The gap is too different from Du Qi."

Hearing this, Ju Wentai couldn't help but gasped.

Too many people!

You must know that Du Qi has not been in Yizhou for a long time. In such a short period of time, there are [-] households.Such a strength is enough to crush Ju Wentai.

Ju Wentai said again: "Master, what about the third aspect?"

Alhan said again: "The third aspect is the understanding of Du Qi's army. As far as I know, the number of Du Qi's army should be more than 1 to 2. However, the number of Du Qi's cavalry is at least It was 3000 people."

"Three thousand?"

Ju Wentai's eyes widened upon hearing this.

An incredible look on his face.

Alhan nodded solemnly. In fact, these contents can be found in Illinois.Because Du Qi never concealed the news, and Alhan carefully observed Du Qi's news when he was in Yiwu County, so he knew the situation.

Ju Wentai said in a deep voice: "There are more than 1 infantry and [-] fine cavalry. But it is not easy to get horses in the Western Regions! If it is on the Turkic Grassland or other places, it is not easy. easy."

Alham said: "Du Qi once arranged to be attacked by the Tubo general Kunmi with two thousand fine cavalry. In the end, Kunmi was captured and the two thousand fine cavalry were wiped out. Afterwards, Du Qi arranged for someone to blackmail Tubo Zanplanang Ri Songtsan made Langri Songtsan pay three thousand

War horses and [-] catties of highland barley wine as compensation. "

"And Du Qi originally had cavalry, so after all, the number of cavalry of [-] is the lowest."

"This data cannot be falsified."

After a pause, Alhan said again: "Besides, Du Qi's generals Ma Yuan, Xue Rengui, and Xiao Yuanqi are all capable of fighting. It is extremely difficult to destroy the opponent."

Ju Wentai's heart sank.

The mood is even lower.

Ju Wentai looked at Alhan and said, "Master, if you don't know about Du Qi's situation, you are ignorant and fearless. But now that you know, the other party is going to kill you again. What should we do?"

thump!

At this moment, Arhan knelt directly on the ground.

Seeing this, Ju Wentai's eyes widened, with an incredulous expression on his face, he asked in confusion, "Master, what are you doing, why did you just kneel on the ground?"

Arhan is the teacher of the state.

As Ju Wentai's national teacher, Arhan never knelt down from the beginning to the end.

This is the first time Ju Wentai has met.

Ju Wentai walked up to Alhan, and stretched out his hand to support Alhan, but Alhan couldn't stand up, and still knelt on the ground.He knocked his head on the ground, and said: "Please forgive the Lord, Alhan is ashamed of the trust of the Lord, and even betrayed the Lord, and now he has surrendered to Du Qi."

"what!"

Ju Wentai exclaimed.

He staggered back two steps, and it was even more difficult to accept the news. He sat down on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Master, this king trusts you so much. You, you, why did you betray this king?"

"I don't care what the civil and military officials in the court think. But the national teacher, you are the person who leads the king, and you are the guiding light of the king. Why did you submit to Du Qi?"
