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 the past when Du Qi fought at Yanmen Pass, Du Qi defeated the Eastern Turks and entered a hundred thousand people. In the end, the Jieli Khan of the Eastern Turks fell into Du Qi's hands. Even though Li Jing was in command of the army, Du Qi Zai."
"In our Gaochang country, there are only 20,000 elites at full strength. Compared with the Turks, 20,000 people are 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: "Datang is a colossal monster, and even more so, a scourge that cannot be provoked."
Alhan smiled inwardly.
With Ju Wentai in mind, it will be much easier for him to persuade him to surrender.
Alhan continued: "My lord, the humble official understands 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 more and more people gathering in Yizhou. According to my knowledge, the population of Yizhou is no less than 100,000 households. Such a statistic is extremely terrifying."
"Because in the past, Yizhou was full of calculations. It is estimated that there were only about 30,000 households, and there may not even be any. 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 30,000 households. Under this situation, the population The gap is too different from Du Qi."
Hearing this, Ju Wentai couldn't help but gasped.
There are 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 100,000 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 10,000 to 20,000. However, the number of Du Qi's cavalry is at least It's three thousand people."
"Three thousand?"
Ju Wentai's eyes widened upon hearing this.
With 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 10,000 infantry and 3,000 fine cavalry. But it is not easy to get war 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 3,000 war horses and 10,000 catties of highland barley wine as compensation."
"Besides, Du Qi originally had cavalry, so after all, the number of cavalry at 3,000 is the lowest."
"This data cannot be falsified."
After a pause, Alhan said again: "In addition, 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 Du Qi's situation, you are ignorant and fearless. But now that you know, the other party is going to kill him again. What should we do?"
Plop!
Just at this moment, Arhan knelt directly on the ground.
Seeing this, Ju Wentai's eyes widened, with an unbelievable look on his face, he asked in confusion: "Master, what are you doing, why are you kneeling on the ground directly?"
Arhan is the national teacher.
?As Ju Wentai's national teacher, Alhan has never? Kneeled.
This is the first time Ju Wentai met.
Ju Wentai walked up to Alhan, and stretched out his hands 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."
"ah!"
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?"
He did not deal with Arhan immediately.
Because in Ju Wentai's heart, Arhan occupies an extremely important position.
Arhan still knelt on the ground without getting up, and said solemnly: "My lord, the reason why I surrendered to Du Qi was not a betrayal, but a helpless act."
After hearing this, Ju Wentai leaned forward and asked, "Why? Say, say!"
Alhan explained: "The first reason is that when I went to lobby Du Qi to allow me to preach in Izhou, Du Qi said that he was willing to help me return to the Persian Archbishop and wanted to take me back."
Ju Wentai frowned upon hearing this.
When Alhan was in Gaochang Kingdom, he told him several times that he hoped to return to the Persian Archbishop in his lifetime, and he didn't want to be a loser and just die in the Western Regions. Ju Wentai heard Alhan's past words and could only comfort Alhan. Because the national power of Gaochang is not strong, it is impossible to bring Arhan back to Persia.
Alhan continued: "The second reason is that Du Qi said that if I don't want to submit, and I don't want to lobby the lord. When his army breaks the Gaochang Kingdom, he will inevitably slaughter the lord's family and kill the entire Ju family. up and down."
"Hateful, hateful!"
When Ju Wentai heard this, he frowned.
This is a threat to Arhan!
However, when Ju Wentai heard this, he was not so resentful of Arhan's betrayal in his heart. On the contrary, I feel that I am quite sorry for Alhan. I can't help Alhan go back, but also let Alhan be constrained.
Ju Wentai continued: "The third reason is that Du Qi showed me Yizhou's secret weapon. After I saw it, I had no luck and chose to surrender."
Ju Wentai said: "What kind of weapon is it?"
Alhan said: "There are three kinds of these things, named grenade, mine and gunpowder. These three weapons are called big killers. They are weapons that have never been seen before. Their power makes people feel chills in the bones. I don't want the country to The Lord suffers, and I don't want to see countless people and soldiers of Gaochang Kingdom die under such weapons."
At this time, Ju Wentai recovered a little bit, he looked at Alhan and said, "Master, get up and talk."
Arhan then stood up.
Ju Wentai said: "National teacher, what is the matter with Du Qi's weapon?" (Remember the website of this site: www.hlnovel.com
