Section 113 Prepare for the Turkic War (2)

I don’t know who first spontaneously sorted out the corpses of the people of Liangzhou on the ground. Then, everyone sorted out the corpses on the ground. The soldiers were speechless and just did what they should do in silence.

Seeing that the soldiers around began to clean up the bodies at the scene, Liu Shan came to the two Turkic soldiers who had gradually recovered at this time.

"Tell your Jie Li Khan, these are the gifts I gave him. The Tang Dynasty would never tolerate the invasion of the Turks and would never retreat. As long as your people dare to step into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, this is your fate. Let me tell you again that I, Liu Shan, are easy to discuss everything, and that is, I, Liu Shan, will definitely be punished for those who dare to massacre the people of the Tang Dynasty. Even if I, Liu Shan, are covered in blood, will chop the livestock that slaughter the people into meat paste." Liu Shan said to the two Turkic soldiers, and Lin Meng had already come to repeat Liu Shan's words to the two Turkic soldiers in Turkic language.

"Chen Hu, prepare a big cart and give these two Turkic people to bring the heads of these Turkic soldiers back to Geely Khan." Liu Shan shouted to Chen Hu, who had ordered people to go to the city to pull the cart.

Seeing that Chen Hu's people had entered the city to pull the car, Lin Meng came over and pulled Liu Shan aside. Everyone knew that Lin Meng had something to say to Liu Shan, and they all avoided it.

"Liu Shan, do you know the consequences of doing this?" Lin Meng's face was gloomy. Today, Liu Shan caused a big disaster. It was nothing to kill these Turkic soldiers. After all, these Turkic soldiers broke into the border of the Tang Dynasty and burned and killed and looted the towns on the border of the Tang Dynasty. Killing these Turkic soldiers could only be considered as taking the initiative to defend. In the past, when the Turkic people attacked, they did not kill the Turkic people.

However, cutting down all the Turkic soldiers' heads can no longer be defined by defense. What's more, Liu Shan was obviously going to send these heads back to the Turks, which was already provocative. Lin Meng could already think of the thunderous anger of the Turkic Khan at this time. He would regard this matter as a naked provocation. In the next step, the Turkic soldiers would definitely gather a large army and invade south. At that time, under the iron hooves of the Turkic, I don't know how many people would die. At that time, the sea of ​​corpses and blood, and Liangzhou was captured only in a while, and it was more likely that the Turkic Iron Cavalry would go south and point straight to Chang'an.

"Just in February this year, Chuluo Khan welcomed Emperor Yang of Sui from Dou Jiande, Hebei to the Turkic tent and made Yang Zhengdao the King of Qi. But Chuluo Khan died of poisonous sores soon. His son was unable to inherit the position of Khan due to physical reasons. His younger brother Duo succeeded to the throne, which is now Jie Li Khan. When Jie Li Khan succeeded to the throne, his elder brother and father left him a big family business. He was strong and powerful.

There were many scholars from Jia. Jie Li Khan also had descendants of the Sui Dynasty. When Yang Zhengdao was appointed King of Sui, the Turkic Khan had the intention of invading the south." Liu Shan said to Lin Meng. Liu Shan was not clear about the matter on the Turkic side, but there were not many dozens of prefectures passing through from Central Plains to Liangzhou. There were also more than a dozen of them. Those who heard on the way were either the war in the Central Plains or the war in the northern border. Liu Shan also knew a little about the Turkic ones.

"Jie Li Khan has indeed always wanted to invade the south, and at this time the war in the Central Plains was just beginning, and the Qin army confronted Wang Shichong's men and could not get away at all. Therefore, the Turks' men and horses were rampant in Liangzhou at this time. Liu Shan, I can also tell you that the Tang King compromised with the Turks several times. Because of the war in the Central Plains, the Tang King had sent envoys to the Turks several times. You should understand that Liangzhou cannot be fought at this time." Lin Meng looked at Liu Shan, then looked at the big cart that had been pulled over and the two Turks who were fighting and fighting.

"You and I are both the prince's people, and I am not afraid to tell you openly that the King of Tang does not want to fight this war, and the army cannot get rid of the Central Plains. It is not a wise move to anger Jie Li Khan at this time. In my opinion, it is still time for you to change your mind at this time. We will kill these two Turkic soldiers and block the news. Today's incident has not happened." Lin Meng saw that Liu Shan did not speak, and had already expressed his plans.

Liu Shan looked at the heads of the Turkic soldiers who had loaded the car at this time, and then looked at Lin Meng.

"You are guarding Liangzhou, I heard others say it has been more than a year or two." Liu Shan did not answer Lin Meng's words positively, but asked a question that seemed to have nothing to do with Lin Meng's idea.

"I am from Liangzhou. I was guarding here before the Tang Dynasty took over Liangzhou." I don't know what Liu Shan meant, but Lin Meng still answered Liu Shan's question.

"Okay, since you have been guarding here, according to you, if there is no today's incident, will the Turks invade the south?" Liu Shan asked humbly.

"I am not sure whether the Turks invaded south or not, but judging from the current actions of the Turks and the gathering of troops on the grassland, it is very likely that they will invade south." Lin Meng expressed his opinion carefully.

"Lin Meng, we are our own people, and you don't have to go around in front of me, typing. There is a Sui King Yang Zhengdao in the Turkic Tooth Tent. He wants to rebel against Tang and Sui at any time. The Qin King fought against Wang Shichong in the Central Plains. I'm afraid that Wang Shichong's envoy not only went to Hebei, but also to the Turkic grassland. Moreover, Dou Jiande and the Turkic in Hebei were separated by such a long border. At this time, there were many Turkic soldiers here, but he had no news about any military situation in Hebei. Also, the Turkic people have recently gone from several tribes around to Liangzhou.

Reinforce troops. As a guard, you cannot even not notice this! In your heart, you may have been sure that the Turks will attack Liangzhou! Otherwise, the emergency military newspapers with fast horses would not be sent several times a day, and the letters urging troops to reinforcements would not be delivered to the Prince's Mansion one by one." Liu Shan looked at Lin Meng, and Lin Meng did not say anything, because what Liu Shan said was true. In his heart, the Turkic attack was only a matter of time. At this time, the Turks had not yet made a large move south, but just because they were not prepared enough.

"Lin Meng, since the Turks' southward journey is absolutely necessary, then whether I give Jie Li Khan this gift today will not change the meaning of Jie Li Khan's troops. I know what you think, you want to delay it for one day, as long as Jie Li Khan does not send troops, you can prepare for one more day. But why don't you think about it? The reason why the Turks did not go south is because they were not ready. We are defense, they are attacking, and others are preparing when you are preparing. Lin Meng, instead of letting the Turks prepare enough and go south with one go, it would not be so angering the Turks and let them go south when they are not ready. The difference between these things, you have been in Liangzhou for a long time, should be clearer than me!" Lin Meng listened to Liu Shan's words carefully. Lin Meng thought about Liu Shan's words for a while, and suddenly felt that Liu Shan had given him a blow and liberated him from his always-standard thinking.

Yes, the Turks attacked Liangzhou was no longer a matter of consideration. The Turks would definitely fight, but the time for them to fight was not yet up. The reason why the Turks had not marched here is because they were not prepared, gathering troops, food and grass reserves, logistics support, grasping the enemy's reconnaissance and deployment of defensive positions were all indispensable things for marching. At this time, they were preparing themselves, and the Turks were also preparing.

Lin Meng initially thought that Liu Shan was just angry for a moment. Killing these Turkic soldiers was just venting hatred and revenge for the civilians. But at this time, Lin Meng had to look at Liu Shan in a different way. This man seemed to have done this with all his loyalty, but when Liu Shan spoke out his ideas, Lin Meng realized Liu Shan's terror.

Liu Shan’s purpose was to anger the Turks by using what happened today and let the Turks send troops in advance.
