The memorial to be sent to Chang'an from Shazhou and expedited to the rush. At this moment, Yuwen Wen slowly opened it. It looked carefully. This was a memorial signed by Li Jing, the chief of the marching commander, and Wei Yunqi, the chief of the marching commander, to explain to him why the situation in the Western Turks would have unexpected developments.

The original strategy of the court was to let Niejuchu Luo Khan and Shekui Khan fight each other and suffer a loss in order to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

However, during the nearly one year of Li Jing's stay in Shazhou, he found that this strategy was somewhat unrealistic: the degree to which Luo Khan lost the hearts of the people was far beyond the imagination of the court.

Most of the nobles of the Western Turkic Khan are now standing on the side of Shekui Khan, believing that Shekui Khan is the best heir to (Western Turkic Khan).

Specifically, it is the factional dispute between Apokhan and Dhatou Khan.

About thirty years ago, five khans in the Turks were established together, namely Shaboluo Khan, Tuli Khan, the second khan, Apo Khan, and Datou Khan.

Among them, Shaboluo Khan was the Great Khan, and the other four were the strongest little Khan. The sphere of influence of Apokhan and Datou Khan were Dulu and Nobushi (Turkish terms, synonymous with specific regions), forming the territory of the Western Turks.

Judging from the western Turkic border, Dulu is the eastern half, and Bibi is the western half.

The one who ruled the Dulu (region) was descended from the Ashna family. This Ashna family originated from the Ashnatumen (the founder of the Turkic Khanate, Yili Khan).

The one who ruled the Bibi (region) was descended from the Datou Khan. This Asina clan originated from the Asina Sidemi (the younger brother of the Asina Tumen, the founder of the Western Turkic territory).

The Niejuchu Luo Khan belongs to the Apo Khan class, and the Shekui Khan is a descendant of Datou Khan (grandson).

Therefore, in the eyes of the nobles of the Western Turks, although they are both Asina clan, Shekui Khan, as a direct descendant of Asina's Dianmi, is the most suitable Western Turkic Khan.

Yuwen put down the memorial, drank a cup of tea, and then conceived an example by himself to experience the ideas of the Turkic nobles.

Overview concept: Yuwen Li and Yuwen Weicheng, who is more suitable to lead Huangzhou Group?

For Huangzhou Group, although it is part of Qiwang Shannan Group, the members of the group tend to be the leader of Yuwen Weicheng.

The reason is very simple. Yuwen Weicheng is the eldest son of Yuwen Wen, the founder of Huangzhou Group, and is the legitimate "young master" of Huangzhou Group.

By chance, Yuwen Li became the leader of Huangzhou Group. During his tenure, he had a rough style and could not operate the industry, so he could not bring benefits to the members of the group. Then, the members of the group would miss the goodness of the "first master" Yuwen Wen.

This kind of longing is placed on Yuwen Weicheng, the eldest son of Yuwen Wen, who has grown up. Everyone looks at this "young master" and likes him. When they look at Yuwen Li, they become more and more disgusted.

Therefore, what Li Jing said in the memorial, "Luo Khan lost the hearts of the people" was like this.

Based on this aristocratic and public opinion, Luo Khan of Niejuchu could no longer compete with Shekui Khan.

The power struggle, letting the Turkic nobles use swords to cut each other, but it does not mean that these people are fools. They support the Shekui Khan and want to overthrow the lost Nijuchuluo Khan. As a result, if Nijuchuluo Khan is always unable to be beaten to death, they will inevitably think that it is Zhou State who supports it.

The nobles who figured out the key ones would become more and more disgusted with the "eating inside and out" Niejuchu Luo Khan. After all, Niejuchu Luo Khan's biological mother is a Han girl, and now she is in love with Zhou State.

In this way, the nobles were more inclined to unite with the Khan of Shekui. The Khan of Nijuchu will only become more and more betrayal. At this time, if the Zhou State wants to support the Khan of Nijuchu, they must take action directly and send troops to help the Khan of Nijuchu "quell the rebellion".

So, is the Zhou State ready to send troops to the west on a large scale and intervene in the internal strife of the Western Turks?

At the same time, what would Zhou Guo feel if he helped Luo Khan like this, and the Tieleqi tribe and Xueyantuo tribe who had been charging forward for Zhou Guo?

The reason why the Tieleqi tribe and Xueyantu tribe broke away from the control of the Western Turks and established their own Khanate was that the Niele tribes massacred more than a hundred chiefs, so they hated Niele's Luo Khan.

Now, when Zhou State saw that Luo Khan was almost finished, he directly sent troops to help the battle. Then the Tieleqi tribe and Xueyantuo tribe had reason to think that Zhou State would sell them one day in the future.

The next choice is to surrender to Shekui Khan.

Therefore, Li Jing, who was on the front line, judged that the previous strategy was not feasible. If it continued to be implemented, the consequence would be that the Zhou State would be enemies with the Western Turkic tribes for a betrayal of the Niejuchu Luo Khan.

Even the Tieleqi tribe and Xueyantuo tribe who were previously very well-allocated will turn against each other.

If the main force of the official army fights the west, directly fights the Western Turks, pierces the caves, and then brings the Western Regions under its rule, that's not bad, but the question is, is the court ready to send troops to attack and destroy the Western Turks?

No.

The various arrangements of the imperial court were to first solve the Eastern Turks, and at the same time, to keep the Western Turks in constant chaos. When the Eastern Turks were resolved, they would free up their hands to solve the Western Turks.

This is a big strategy and cannot be changed easily. Therefore, Li Jing apologized for his detainment of Luo Khan of Niejutou in the memorial, and then suggested that the court give up the strategy of provoking the long-term internal strife of the Asina clan.

He gave up Niejuchu Luo Khan and directly supported Tieleqi tribe and Xueyantuo tribe.

Further arm the Tiele Tribe and Xueyantuo tribe and provide protection so that it can directly confront the Shekui Khan. In this way, the Qie Tribe and Xueyantuo tribes can better win over the Tiele tribes and form new forces.

Therefore, while taking advantage of the short period of time when Luo Khan was on guard, Li Jing and Wei Yunqi set up a trap and "stayed" Luo Khan in Shazhou, and then sent him to Beijing.

When Yuwen Wen saw this, he could already understand Li Jing's idea. The other party believed that the best choice for the court now was not to provoke internal strife of the Asina clan, but to support Tiel and the Turks (Western Turks).

At the same time, within the Western Turks, the gap between the Datou Khan system and the Apo Khan system still exists, so it can also be used.

This approach of the front-line coach's own initiative and forced changes in the central strategy is, at best, "they are outside and the king's orders are not accepted", and at worst, it is "the warriors are engaging in border provocations."

Just like the later generations of "Showa Staff" who became aggressive and engaged in military adventures, he became a military officer. He became promoted and promoted himself, but dragged the country into the abyss.

Now, has the "Showa Staff" appeared in the new era?

Yuwen Wen now believes that it is not. At most, he is the "Mingde joining the army" who decides on the spot, and the nature is different.

From Shazhou to Chang'an, it is more than two thousand miles away. If the front-line commander asks the court for instructions in everything, it will only miss the opportunity to fight.

The domestic situation of the Western Turks is changing. If the previous strategy is implemented rigidly, the consequences will indeed follow what Li Jing said. Not only will it not be a fisherman, but it will also be unable to gain any benefits.

Yuwen Wen closed the memorial and closed his eyes to ponder. Since he authorized Li Jing to "do things cheaply", he should acquiesce to the other party to take measures to deal with it based on the situation on the front line and make a "decide first and then report".

When communication methods are backward and the country is in great territory, the border commander must have autonomy in order to handle border matters with maximum efficiency. Of course, if you want efficiency, the center will inevitably delegate power to the border commander.

If you want to open the border, you have to talk about military efficiency. If the border commander has greater autonomy, it is easy to "leave alone"; if you want to stop the border commander from "leap alone", you have to limit your autonomy, resulting in a significant decline in military efficiency.

These two choices are contradictory.

For Yuwen Wen, of course, choose efficiency.

He is not afraid of Bian Shuai's rebellion, so since he is granted Bian Shuai the right to make decisions before the opportunity, he has the will toleration of various emergencies, provided that the other party can give a reasonable explanation afterwards.

Li Jing’s explanation is very reasonable. Yuwen Wen does not think that Li Jing will do whatever he wants to be promoted to the position, so he should adjust his strategy.

Supporting the Tiele Tribe and the Xueyantuo tribe, using Tiele to deal with the Turks, the consequences were nothing more than raising tigers, just like in history, Li Tang supported Xueyantuo to destroy the Turks, and as a result, he supported a "Xueyantuo Khanate Kingdom".

But so what? Times are different.

The country's national strength has grown rapidly, with a comprehensive firearm, a military that is not short of horses, and the large-scale popularization of wired telegraphs and steamships, and the demand for foreign trade is increasing, which means that sooner or later, the country of Zhou will become a country with strong expansion.

Finding more living space for the people of the Central Plains to go outward is the responsibility of the ruling people, so the "Mingde Joining the Army" need to make decisions on the frontier in order to seize the opportunity to destroy the country or "harm" other countries.

The East and West Turks must be solved, so it is not necessary to fatten a wolf in order to solve the West Turks. In the future, this wolf will be out of control.
