Chapter 2009 Revenge Madman
Ashina Simo's eyes widened and he looked at the old man Zhao Deyan in front of him in disbelief.
What does this old man mean?
However, Zhao Deyan drooped his eyelids and did not look at Ashina Simo. He held the tea cup in his hand, as if he could not help remembering the past years, and his tone seemed heavy and soothing: "Do you know that this old man is also an ancestor of a famous family in Dingxiang? Since the Han Dynasty, officials have been appointed, poems and etiquette passed down to the family, good treatment to the villagers, and protection of the country... In the first year of the founding of the emperor, Yang Jian usurped the Zhou Dynasty and established itself. The country was named Sui Dynasty. Ashina took pictures under the instigation of his wife, Princess Qianjin of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. In the name of revenge for Zhou Shi Under the banner, they invaded the Central Plains on a large scale. Shujiang City, Yunzhong City, and Dingxiang... were all trampled by the Turks' iron hoofs, killing many people. All their old parents, wives, and children died tragically under the Turks' scimitars in that war. ……when I was holding my newly born child, and a Turkic man beheaded his head in my arms. I swore to God that in this life, I will destroy the Turkic people and avenge my relatives..."
He talked about his tragic life experience, and it was as if he was telling someone else's story, his tone was calm and there were not many twists and turns.
But the deep-seated hatred contained in this calmness made Ashina Simo's scalp numb!
Zhao Deyan actually has such a deep hatred for the Turks?
Then he became the counselor beside the two Turkic Khans, and his motives are naturally self-evident...
Ashina Simo swallowed hard, stared at Zhao Deyan, and asked: "So, sir... you encouraged Shibi Khan and Jieli Khan to imitate the Han people's system, which was indeed a recipe for disaster. Turkic conspiracy? ”
This is incredible...
Even the most suspicious conspirators would not dare to imagine that the once tyrannical Turkic Khanate would fall under such a conspiracy and be cut off from the revenge of a Han!
Sensational!
Zhao Deyan's face was very calm. He didn't know whether it was because he was no longer haunted by all things after his great revenge was avenged, or because he had reached the age of the Zang Dynasty and had seen through life and death, but his emotions did not fluctuate too much. He seemed to be telling the thoughts of others. Story...
"The Han people have followed the system of strict laws for thousands of years, and it has long been engraved in their bones. No matter how strict the laws are, how harsh the system is, as long as they can still have a bowl of food to eat and can survive, society will be prosperous. It is still stable and no one will rebel, but the Turks are different. They are a bunch of beasts that drink blood and do not even care about ethical principles. Trying to use the legal system to restrain them can only be counterproductive. The Han people use their hard-working hands and clever minds to create wealth, but besides killing, looting and destroying, what else will you do? ?”
The corners of Ashina Simo's mouth twitched and he wanted to refute, but in the end no sound came out.
Although as a Turk, I am very annoyed when faced with such contempt, but when I think about it carefully, I realize that what they said is right...
The Turks claim to be the descendants of the Wolf God and the masters of the grassland. They are the most brave and good at fighting. However, as Zhao Deyan said, they cannot farm, weave, smelt iron, or build cities...the most basic means of living. Herding means driving flocks of sheep to chase water and grass. During the dry season, the livestock drink to death, and they have nothing to do. In winter, white plagues rage, and they are helpless...
Besides killing and plundering, what else would the Turks do?
This makes Ashina Simo, who has been eroded by the Tang civilization in recent years, deeply ashamed...
"Things like the civilized system are the source of strength for the Han people, but they are the source of destruction for the Turks. It's ridiculous that the two idiots Shibi and Jieli regard them as treasures and try their best to protect them. Haha, barbarians are barbarians after all. Such delusions as The Han people have inherited it for thousands of years. Isn't it ridiculous? On this grassland, barbarians are fighting for supremacy. How powerful the Huns were in the past, but they were destroyed in one day. br>
The charcoal fire was burning in the lobby, but Ashina Simo did not feel the slightest warmth. A cold feeling rose from the bottom of his heart. He still could not believe that the Turkic Khanate that once roamed the grasslands actually fell to this Han man who was bent on revenge. Hand...
Could it be that the eagles on the grassland, generation after generation, from the Huns to the Turks, no matter how strong they are, can only be proud for a while, and will eventually be defeated by the Han people?
Thinking about the strict system and the way of life of the Han people who perform their own duties, Ashina Simo felt heavy in his heart.
Even though he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, he never thought of rebellion, and he was full of fear and respect for the "Heavenly Khan" in the palace, but as a Turkic nobleman, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable...
He didn't know what kind of attitude he should take towards Zhao Deyan, who frankly admitted that he had conspired to overthrow the Turks.
Revenge of destroying the country?
To be honest, it's a bit far-fetched.
As Zhao Deyan just said, the Turks are a loose nation, and the so-called Turkic Khanate is just an alliance of Turkic people with some other tribes gathered together. It is completely different from the country of the Han people. Furthermore, the Turks do not have much sense of identity with the so-called country. All they care about is their own ethnic group, their own bloodline, their own cattle and sheep...
Treat each other as a teacher as before?
It seems difficult to do.
After all, this is the main culprit that caused the Turks to fall apart and almost become extinct...
"Sir, this is my first time. What can I teach you?"
In desperation, Ashina Simo had to change the topic to avoid embarrassment.
Zhao Deyan sat cross-legged, drank tea, and said with a smile: "I am here to say goodbye to the Great Khan. Back then, I had a close relationship with your father, and I also have a master-disciple relationship with you. From now on, we will see each other again. No timetable. Secondly, I want to show the Great Khan a clear path and win a piece of grassland for those who are dependent on you to graze freely..."
Ashina Simo's heart tightened and he said quickly: "Sir, are you planning to return to the Tang Dynasty?"
A lonely old man dominated by hatred. After his great revenge was avenged, he had to wander on the grassland for more than ten years in order to avoid being hunted. Now that he is dying soon, how can he not want to return to his hometown?
It's just such a farewell, and we will never see each other again...
Zhao Deyan was obviously very satisfied with Ashina Simo's reaction. He first asked about his whereabouts. He obviously put the relationship between the two first. He was slightly moved in his heart. This Turkic man he had grown up watching since he was a child had such a special personality. The delicate emotions of Han people are really rare.
"Now, the old man just wants to go back to the Tang Dynasty to have a look, and then find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to bury his bones. The old man is a Han Chinese, with the blood of Yan and Huang flowing in his body, how can he let his bones wander around after death? If you die in the land of barbarians, you must die on the land of the Han family!”
Ashina Simo said: "We are going to the interior. The mountains are high and the roads are long. It is also the severe winter and the journey is difficult and difficult. Why don't we stay here in Dingxiang for the time being, and then I will go with you when I return to Chang'an? It is also a good way for the younger generation to fulfill their filial piety.”
Zhao Deyan smiled and shook his head, noncommittal, and asked kindly: "I don't want to hear how to resolve the current crisis?"
"I would like to hear the details!" Ashina Simo said quickly.
He was well aware of Zhao Deyan's ability. This wise man who single-handedly overthrew the Turkic Khanate still knew the situation on the grassland well even if he was hiding in a marmot cave...
The tea was a little cold, so Ashina Simo did not call the maid, but put the kettle on the small stove to boil, poured it into the teapot, and filled the tea cup in front of Zhao Deyan with tea.
He also poured a glass and sat respectfully opposite Zhao Deyan, waiting for instructions.
In the past, his father, and even two Khans, had listened to Zhao Deyan's words like this, but never thought that the words coming out of Zhao Deyan's mouth would push the Turkic Khanate step by step into the abyss of destruction...< br>
Ashina Simo has absolute trust in Zhao Deyan, not only because of the friendship between the two generations, but also because there is really nothing in him worthy of Zhao Deyan's plans at the moment. Moreover, he also saw a look of relief and warmth on Zhao Deyan's face, which was completely different from the indescribable sharpness and coldness in Zhao Deyan's memory.
Zhao Deyan looked at Ashina Simo's respectful expression and asked with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill all the Turks under your command again?"
Ashina Simo smiled bitterly and said: "If you really want to kill them all, why bother to come here in person? With your ability, you can turn your hands into clouds and your hands into rain, and you can use any means at will, and the Turks will be in trouble." Young Master, why bother hurting the friendship between my father and son and you... Furthermore, now that Xue Yantuo's army is approaching the city, the Turks are outnumbered. Even the Great Wall, the Han people will never allow the Turks to retreat into the Great Wall to avoid Xue Yantuo's troops. It is freezing cold at this time. Once the Turks leave Dingxiang, they are afraid that they will all freeze to death in the ice and snow... Previous The tiger has no way out and is already in a dead end. Is there anything more desperate than this situation? "(End of Chapter)
