Su Dawei said with a serious expression: "The country, the system."

**du nodded and said, "That's right, they have their own official system, taxation, martial arts, and writing. The territory is from west to north, across the *lid, and the string controls are hundreds of*, and they also know the techniques of smelting, and can produce good steel and build good military armor."

Su Dawei's face changed slightly.

He vaguely remembered that Su Qingjie mentioned to him before that the Turkic people had a high armor rate. As long as they were Turkic warriors, almost everyone was wearing armor.

The weapons include a spear, a waist knife, a horn bow, and a pot of thirty iron-clustered arrows, and two pots are always prepared.

Some wealthy people can even wear armor.

This is by no means something that ordinary "robbers" can afford to be armed.

"The Turks are very smart. They not only have their own writing, but also know how to do business?"

“Do business?”

Su Dawei was a little surprised: "What business do they do?"

"Business without foundation." ** said meaningfully.

"robbery?"

"Ahem, it can be said that they will strangle the water sources and oasis, roads, and caravans passing by in the Hexi Corridor must pay taxes if they want to pass through safely."

**du sighed: "This is a golden road that is rich and rich."

Su Dawei agreed deeply.

The Silk Road connects East and Central Asia, and passes through endless sand seas such as the Tarim Basin from the Hexi Corridor, and can reach the heart of Central Asia, or even directly to Persia, which is the Middle East and Iran region in the future.

Zhang Qian, who dug out the Western Regions, once said that there were thirty-six countries in the Western Regions.

These countries located in the Hexi Corridor all hold the golden lifeline, occupy oasis, or major transportation routes, and are rich through continuous trade.

As the overlord of the Western Regions, the Turks became even richer by "drawing blood" from these countries and merchants.

At any time, a business without a capital is the most profitable.

Only with sufficient wealth can the Huns develop their own culture, establish their own regimes, and develop smelting technology and military equipment.

This is the reason why the Turks dominate the world.

"I understand, Su Mazheng, we are facing such a powerful enemy. Although the Eastern Turks have been impressed by the Tang Dynasty, the Western Turks are not a weak opponent. On the contrary, they are very strong.

From this way to the Anxi Protectorate, from the south of Jinshan, to the four towns of Anxi, to the Beiting Protectorate, they are all under the iron hooves of the Western Turks.

On the other end of the mountain, the Wunuhushibi tribe, the Wudulu tribe, the Jiushou surname of Zhaowu, the Tiehan, the Geluo tribe, and the Chuyue tribe are all its minions."

The Chuyue tribe was later the Shatuo Kingdom. This ethnic group played a very important role in the middle and late Tang Dynasty.

**du kept silently observing Su Dawei's expression. Seeing his expression changing, he seemed to be shaken in his heart.

He smiled slightly, reached out and patted Su Dawei on the shoulder: "We are all our own people, so let me mention you, this Western Turks is not so easy to destroy."

**du left, leaving only Su Dawei standing there, his mind a little confused.

The Turks, this opponent, are indeed a little different from the robbers on the grasslands in the past.

It's a bit like the later Mongol Empire's rush.

After personal soldiers communicated to the tent, Su Dawei was able to enter the tent.

The light in front of him dimmed and he adapted a little. He saw Cheng Zhijie, the chief marching manager of Congshan Road, sitting upright in front of the table, as if he was burying his head and looking at a map.

Hearing the movement, Cheng Zhijie looked up and said, "Is the Su boy here? Come here."

He reached out to greet him.

There is no airs.

However, Su Dawei also saw another Cheng Yaojin, who was different from the past, from his face.

He was dressed in a tight manner, holding his knees with both hands, and sitting on his head like a majestic lion.

Although he has passed 60 years old, he still looks energetic and has no old attitude.

"Master General."

Su Dawei crossed his hands to greet him. After performing the ceremony, he walked up: "The scout team is reporting military information."

Cheng Zhijie glared at him: "You little boy, come with me. We are at the foot of this mountain, and the Turks can't get over it. I have a lot of military information."

Yes, as soon as he spoke, he was still the vulgar old man, and he was exposed.

Su Dawei twitched the corners of his mouth and told him in detail what happened last night.

Finally, Su Dawei said again: "Since the Turkic spies have discovered us, we cannot remain silent and should take action."

"move?"

Cheng Zhijie looked up and sneered at him: "Where to move?"

“Uh, cross the mountains…”

"Stupid."

Cheng Zhijie grabbed the pen holder on the table and threw it over.

Su Dawei jumped away with his head in his arms, feeling quite embarrassed.

The personal soldiers outside the tent heard the movement and lifted the curtain and came in. Before they could figure out the situation, they were bombarded by Cheng Zhijie again.

Then he glared at Su Dawei and said, "Don't think that you have solved several cases in Chang'an, it's amazing. When I led the troops, you didn't even have any hair out. No, you don't even know where you are."

Well......

Su Dawei was speechless for a while.

This is the first time I saw the coach with this style.

Can you draw a circle to curse you?

Forget it, because you are Cheng Chusi and Cheng Chuliang and their own father, you won’t be skeptical about you.

Cheng Zhijie naturally didn't know that Su Dawei was drawing circles in his heart.

He stroked the thick beard on his chin and said, "Look, you are a junior, I'll give you some advice. Look, the weather is cold and cold, and it may snow at any time. At that time, even if the army leaps over the Golden Mountain, even ape birds will not be able to cross over.

At this time, it is even more impossible for the Turks to come.

If they want to let the horses go, they will let them go. What's the terrible thing?"

"Master, this..."

Su Dawei was stunned for a moment. According to Cheng Zhijie, it was going to snow, so what was the place where he wanted to spend the winter at the foot of this mountain?

If you want to fight the Turks, wouldn’t you have to wait for the spring of Ming Dynasty?

This is fucking, I can't complain, okay?

"You want to say whether we are going to spend the winter here?"

Cheng Zhijie stroked the tiger's beard and nodded seriously: "I can tell you that you are right. When the flowers bloom in the morning, we can cross the mountains and continue to approach the Western Turkic royal court."

"Master General!"

Su Dawei was a little anxious and his voice increased a little.

"I remember that when Li Jing, Duke of Wei, destroyed the Eastern Turks, it was a storm, and it was decided by a battle. Do we need to spend the winter here? What is the meaning of waiting here?"

"significance?"

Cheng Zhijie held the table with both hands, his eyes were majestic: "The Tang army is here, which is the meaning."

Su Dawei was completely confused.

In his mind, like Li Jing, a quick battle was just a happy battle.

Just like he solved a case, he said twelve hours, just twelve hours.

You have to tell Su Dawei that this matter is not good. Let’s wait here first and wait until tomorrow spring before continuing.

Su Dawei is afraid that he will spray your face with a sip of water.

Yesterday, Li Jinxing said that the army went on a war, and it was useless every day. Many powerful landlords and farmers in many places were summoned to send troops, but as soon as they were released, they had to go bankrupt.

"Don't convince?"

Cheng Zhijie glanced at Su Dawei and saw a hint of anger on his face.

He smiled: "What a stubborn donkey. I will mention you again...

You just said, it was easy for Li Jing to destroy the Eastern Turks?

That's not Li Jing's achievements alone."

When talking about the past, Cheng Zhijie's eyes flashed with nostalgia: "Taizong, I still remember...

After the White Horse Alliance, Taizong obtained five thousand excellent horses, two thousand of which were the Eastern Turkic horses that dominated the world at that time.

All of these good horses were grazed by Emperor Taizong of Tang on Longyou Horse Farm. After a few numbers, they had soared to ten horses.

On those days, Emperor Taizong carried out light taxes and levies, while on the other hand, he worked hard to train his army, and spared no expenses to implement the twelve army system, and even brought the soldiers to train in Xiande Hall.

After a few moments, I got an elite soldier.”

Speaking of this, he took a breath, looked at Su Dawei and continued: "The Turks are not simple. They are known for their smelting in the grassland, and are even known as the "forging slaves".

Moreover, because they controlled the Hexi Corridor, the Turks were able to continuously obtain technological and trade benefits from various countries in the Western Regions, and even in Tocharo.

The Turkic army armed with this was equipped with more sophisticated iron equipment. Taizong said that the Turks were rich to the point of "using armor as common clothes."

Although he had heard similar words from **du's mouth just now, when he heard from Cheng Zhijie's mouth, Su Dawei couldn't help but breathe in secret.

"During the time of Emperor Gaozu, he was fed up with the cowardice of the Eastern Turks. Emperor Gaozu also started a war against the Eastern Turks in anger, but he suffered consecutive defeats, especially the Battle of Shuozhou in the Wude Eight*, and the army of the Right Guard General Zhang Jin was wiped out.

The war between Huining and Lanzhou in Wude Jiuzhao, and the Eastern Turks swept back and forth, almost as if they were in a state of no one.

At that time, the prince Jiancheng suggested that Emperor Gaozu move the capital to avoid the Turkic people.

If the Qin King had not insisted on it at that time, Chang'an would have become the pasture for the Turks."

Cheng Zhijie looked at Su Dawei deeply: "I remember that after the White Horse Alliance, Taizong gritted his teeth and said: If you want to take it, you must give it.

While preparing for war, Emperor Taizong sent Zhang Gongjin as the governor of Daizhou."

Zhang Gongjin suggested that Li Shimin launch the "Xuanwu Gate Incident" one of the Yuanlong**s, who is good at collecting intelligence.

"Those*, we are preparing for war, while keeping a close eye on every move within the Eastern Turkic territory.

With Zhang Gongjin's precise insight and powerful intelligence collection ability, he kept collecting and analyzing the military transformation of the Eastern Turks. The Eastern Turkic cavalry, which once came and went like the wind, was poisoned by poisoning them all. From then on, in the eyes of Taizong, he gradually became secret."

Cheng Zhijie stopped for a moment and suddenly glanced at Su Dawei strangely: "I look at you, it tastes a bit like Zhang Gongjin."

You are Zhang Gongjin, your whole family...

etc.

Su Dawei's mind flashed, Cheng Zhijie's words were very informative.

He didn't know something, did he?
