"Please tell me, Your Majesty, which country should we go to first?"
After walking for a distance, Niu Jinda suddenly thought of an important thing. They had not planned a route when they came out, and Li You was also thinking of just going wherever he could. Now that they have taken the lead, we have to make some plans.
"Go to Western Turkestan."
Li You blurted out, and Eunuch Han next to him stretched out his hand to stop him, but in the end he remained silent. In front of outsiders, he was just a eunuch after all, and was different from people like Niu Jinda. Niu Jinda was an official of the previous dynasty. Although there was no clear regulation in the Tang Dynasty, eunuchs were not allowed to speak carelessly in such occasions.
Eunuch Han represents not only Li You, but also Concubine Yin in the palace. If he speaks nonsense in such an occasion, it will not be his people who will be in trouble, but his master's people.
"General Mo obeys your command!"
For Niu Jinda, any country is the same. He must go to Western Turkestan anyway. If he does not force Western Turkestan to surrender, then it will be useless for other countries to surrender. It can be seen from the kneeling ceremony just now that if the Western Turkestan people insist on resisting, what will happen if other countries kneel down?
Niu Jinda rode his horse to the front to lead the way, and Eunuch Han finally found the opportunity to speak.
"Your Highness, why do you need to go to Western Turkestan? Western Turkestan is the largest country in the entire Western Regions, and also the most difficult to govern. There is no need to choose it as our first stop. There are several other countries on the way to Western Turkestan. We can temporarily find a smaller country."
Eunuch Han said earnestly that the situation in the Western Regions was not very clear. If we want to be safe, we should look at it step by step. If we go directly to Western Turkestan, it would be too reckless.
"Go directly to Western Turkestan. What's the point of those small countries? They're nothing more than a city. Even if you bully them, there won't be much sense of accomplishment. Just now, those people all knelt down, which shows that they are useless. Only Western Turkestan still has some interest."
Li You is quite playful. He doesn't think it's interesting for you to kneel down in front of him. When he is picking on others in Chang'an City, ordinary people are not a challenge to him. He only picks on the children of nobles. So after arriving in the Western Regions, he also knew that he was here to find trouble, and he had to find the biggest one.
He also had another idea. He had long disliked Li Xiang. "Didn't you ask me to pick a fight?" Then he'd pick the biggest one and see how you'd handle it. If you couldn't, he'd file a complaint against you before the Emperor. "You're saying everything is under control," he said.
"Your Highness's talent and strategy are truly beyond my reach. However, we are in the Western Regions, so we should be careful about everything. The Western Turks are indeed brave. If..."
Han Desi wanted to say a few more words, but Li You had already asked someone to lower the curtain of the carriage. He was giving you face and calling you Eunuch Han. If he didn't give you face, do you really think you are a dish?
Seeing Li You's action, Eunuch Han was so angry that he was about to explode. What did the Empress tell you when you were in the palace? After arriving in the Western Regions, you were really disobedient. Of course, he had no other choice. After all, no matter how prominent he was in the palace, you were just a slave. If you want to control Li You, I'm afraid you don't have the ability. Even Li Shimin doesn't have this ability. What makes you think you can do it?
In Li You's opinion, these people under his command are really useless. Look at Niu Jinda. After hearing that he was going to Western Turkestan, he went down to convey the order without saying a word. In his eyes, Western Turkestan is the same as other countries. Anyway, we are here to cause trouble, so it doesn't matter where we start.
In his opinion, why is Li Xiang more powerful than himself? His subordinates can see that no matter what happens, he just follows orders and doesn't talk too much nonsense. Unlike you people, you are scared when you hear about going to Western Turkestan.
General Kang Ying soon received a report that Li You's first stop was to go to Western Turkestan. You should know that the capital of Western Turkestan is more than a thousand miles away from here. If Li You is greedy for enjoyment, he should stay near the border. These more than a thousand miles are different from the inland areas. If you rush on the road under such circumstances, it will be very hard.
Moreover, for their own safety, it is impossible to go deep into the desert for more than a thousand miles. At that time, the Khan of Western Turkic also knew that such a place was too desolate and could not be used as a capital. But they also understood that the Tang army might come at any time. If we do not go deep into the desert, we will be attacked by the Tang army at any time.
These people were deeply impressed by General Li Jing's war to destroy the Turks, so they did not dare to put the capital in a place with abundant water and grass. If you think this is a good place, then the people of the Tang Dynasty also think this is a good place, so they put the capital in the desert, the place that the people of the Tang Dynasty despised the most.
"General?"
The visitor said with some doubt that the general had not spoken for a long time, and we had to bring the general's attitude back to the capital. If the people over there did not receive us well, the humiliation we suffered just now would be of no use.
"I will write a letter for you to take back and have the Right Wise King receive it."
General Kang Ying thought about the people within the Turkic people. Many of them still had wolf-like natures. If there was a war, they would be needed, but if they were to receive the prince of the Tang Dynasty, these people would be useless, so as to prevent them from causing trouble.
"That's great."
The people who came from the capital also nodded continuously. General Kang Ying is now the pillar of their entire country. His opinion can be said to be very important. The reception arrangements are about to be made, and General Kang Ying should also remind them to avoid committing taboos during the reception process.
It took General Kang Ying about an incense stick of time to finish writing the letter. He warned the Western Turkic leaders in his heart not to argue with Li You. He also told them the situation in the border area. We are no match for the Tang army. We should try to be tolerant now so that our country can exist in the future. Otherwise, the Tang army will march westward at any time.
As for the degree of tolerance, he made it very clear in his mind that he should be tolerant of what he can tolerate, and he should also be tolerant of what he cannot tolerate even if he has to overcome difficulties. In short, let him do whatever he wants to do.
