Although Tian Chen said that he only wanted to make the Gumo country strong, but in fact, Tian Chen was also a promising leader who cared about the life and death of the people. He introduced the Turkic people into the city of Zhuanchang, and seeing the people being injured and looted by the Turkic people, he felt sad and angry.
But for the survival of Gumo country, he endured the humiliation and allowed the Turkic people to bully the people. Even when Tian Chen dreamed back at midnight, he dreamed that many people came to him to avenge his grievances.
The once vivid faces gradually blurred.
Tian Chen looked around and saw the soldiers stationed on the tower. There was endless anger on those young faces. The reason why these soldiers choose to resist Du Qi and follow Tian Chen is to protect their family and their family, but what happened today makes it difficult for them to protect their family, which is contrary to their original intention .
So many people are very dissatisfied in their hearts.
The anger is beyond words.
Tian Chen sighed in his heart, and said: "An Manda, you go back now. Mr. Tian, ??come with me."
"yes!"
Tian Buqi and Anman Da Qiqi answered.
The two left alone, and followed Tian Chen into the room alone. Now in this room, only Tian Chen and Tian Buqi are left. Tian Chen is quite helpless at this moment, he is not young, he has been in charge of state affairs for decades, has his own opinions and decisions, and even has his own ideas. But now Tian Chen was helpless, he looked at Tian Buqi, and asked for help: "Teacher, what should we do?"
Tian Chen once asked Tian Buqi for advice. At that time, Tian Buqi was still Yang Buqi, and he had never been given a national surname or changed his name. It's just that Tian Chen was called Mr. most of the time, and rarely used the word teacher.
Tian Buqi couldn't help but sighed when he heard Tian Chen's words.
The current situation is indeed tricky.
Even difficult.
Tian Buqi thought for a while and said, "Master, there are three choices right now."
Tian Chen said: "Teacher, please tell me."
Tian Buqi said: "The first choice is actually very simple. Let's not care about the life and death of the people, but the overall situation. Tong Yehu needs 300 civilian women, so he conscripted 300 women and sent them to the Turkic military camp."
"Under this premise, even if some Turkic people are killed, Tong Yehu will definitely soften his attitude when he sees the lord's attitude, and will not target us. Moreover, the assassination of Turkic people is most likely caused by Du Qi's people. Because ordinary people can't do this at all. Only Du Qi's people can do it."
Tian Buqi said: "This is the first choice at the moment. Give up the common people and completely lean towards the rule of Yehu."
Tian Chen said: "Teacher, this choice is easy to say. The question is, if I don't care about the life and death of the people and directly conscript three hundred women, how can I explain to the people? How will the people of the entire Gumo Kingdom think of this king. "
"Especially the soldiers guarding the city. Their families were taken captive and their families were bullied, but I made things worse. Why should they serve me?"
"Even once this is done, I am afraid that the officials of my Gumo country may be easily instigated by Du Qi's people. At that time, those who are loyal to us may rebel."
"The teacher once said that the king is a boat; the common people are water. The water carries the boat, and the water capsizes the boat. Once the life and death of the people are ignored, the people will rise up and make trouble."
There was determination in Tian Chen's eyes.
He can't do the thing of abandoning the people.
Tian Buqi sighed: "The king's consideration is reasonable. Because under this premise, it will indeed lead to many uncontrollable situations."
Tian Chen asked: "Teacher, what about the second choice?"
Tian Buqi replied: "The second choice is actually very simple, that is, don't send the women away, and push the death of all Turkic people on Du Qi, saying that it was Du Qi's people who planted the frame, and it was Du Qi's fault." People are moving around in the city. Then, we will mobilize our soldiers and horses to stand ready. If the Turkic people don¡¯t agree, it will be a big deal to break the pot and go to war with the Turkic people.¡±
After a pause, Tian Buqi said: "After all, we have the support of the people in this city. Once the king raises his arms, there will be countless people supporting the king. Although the Turkic people are large in number, they may not necessarily occupy Advantage."
After hearing this, Tian Chen's eyes lit up, and a bright smile appeared on his face.
It's a good plan.
Tian Chen said: "The teacher's plan is feasible to a certain extent."
Tian Buqi said: "Compared to the first choice which is to abandon the common people, in fact this choice is to fight against Tong Yehu. Because once the death of the Turkic people is ignored., and also did not send the women, Tong Yehu must be furious. Perhaps because of the situation, Tong Yehu would not go to war with the lord, but Tong Yehu would have a knot in his heart, and he would not go all out to resist Du Qi. "
"Even the Turkic riots will become more frequent. Especially now there is another contradiction, that is, the people still hate the Turkic people. At the same time, because the Turkic people are not dealt with, the people's hearts will still deteriorate further."
Tian Buqi continued: "If we have a decisive battle with Du Qi in a short period of time, everything will be fine. The problem is that Du Qi stands still and just besieges instead of attacking. The longer the time, the more unfavorable it will be for us."
"well¡¡"
Tian Chen couldn't help sighing when he heard the words.
Tian Chen said with emotion: "Teacher, I now understand why Yanqi Prefecture and other places in the Western Regions would surrender in anticipation. Especially when the army of the Tang Dynasty came, a total of more than 200,000 troops, they flinched in front of Du Qi Return. Du Qi's strength, if you don't meet it yourself, you won't experience this kind of difficulty. Only when we are enemies with Du Qi will we know how difficult it is."
Tian Buqi said: "What the lord said is true. Du Qi's army never attacked, but it is more terrifying than attacking, and it is frightening. This is the end of being an enemy of Du Qi."
Tian Chen asked: "Teacher, what about the third choice?"
Du Qidao: "The third choice is actually not a choice. You only need to surrender to Du Qi, and everything will be over. Then all the difficulties faced by the king will be solved."
Tian Chen's cheeks twitched.
Surrender?
Surrender to Du Qi, is he willing? He must be unwilling, because Tian Chen still has thousands of thoughts in his heart. He wants to expand the territory of Gumo Kingdom, he wants to enhance the combat effectiveness of Gumo Kingdom, and he wants to be the unprecedented leader of Gumo Kingdom. He even wanted to run rampant in the Western Regions. Once you surrender, there is nothing, all persistence is gone.
As the lord of the country, Tian Chen has his own persistence, fighting spirit and ideals. When it comes to surrender, Tian Chen fell silent again, unable to make a decision for a while.
Tian Buqi sat below and did not speak again.
The choice has been placed in front of Tian Chen, how to choose, how to choose, that is Tian Chen's business, and Tian Chen needs to make a decision. Tian Buqi also knows that such a choice is difficult, especially for a person with ideals and ambitions.
Tian Chen clenched his fist, and then let it go again. Immediately after, he clenched his fist again, and finally loosened it again, and this was repeated, accompanied by the expression on Tian Chen's face, which changed again and again.
This means a change in Tian Chen's heart.
After a long time, Tian Chen said: "Sir, I choose the second option and take a gamble."
He regained his composure.
The title of Tian Buqi was also restored.
When Tian Buqi heard it, he actually felt a little regretful, because in Tian Buqi's view, it is impossible for the Gumo country to win no matter what. Because there are Du Qi's army outside and Turks inside, the situation is already extremely difficult. Under such circumstances, it is a fool's dream to want to maintain the Gumo Kingdom.
It's just that Tian Buqi didn't persuade him. He knew that Tian Chen was a person who couldn't give up once he made up his mind. And he also knows that Tian Chen is the monarch, and the monarch of a country cannot surrender at will.
Tian Buqi said: "Since the lord has made a decision, I support the lord's decision."
