The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 820 Goodbye Jie Li
A shrewd light flashed in Heermu's eyes: "Since the war with the Tang Dynasty five years ago, the Turks have been torn apart. Half of their land and tribes have been thrown into the Tang Dynasty in the south. The current Khanate only occupies a piece of land in the east, which is no longer comparable to its heyday."

“There are simply no conditions to hold the Akimuda.”

"Besides, such a grand event is usually notified to each tribe half a year in advance and held in the Khan's tent in mid-October. But it's already mid-October, and it's already November when we get to the Khan's tent. The weather is getting colder, and each tribe is busy preparing fodder for the cattle and sheep to survive the winter. How can they have time to hold a grand event?"

Hermu's implication was very clear. The Khan saw that the Turkic Khanate was now stable, the troops that had been sent there had been digested, and now it was time to consider the next Khan, so he wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of you.

Li Yan admired Helemu's vigilance, but pretended to be confused and asked, "Helemu, what do you think the Khan did this for?"

On the other side, the hot-tempered Gu Rentu could no longer hold back. He raised his eyebrows, slammed the table, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, everyone is privately saying that after Jie Li Khan rebuilt the Turkic Khanate, he no longer has the physical strength and energy to unify the entire grassland again. What he cares most about is who will be the next monarch of the Khanate?"

"For this conference, Jie Li Khan summoned all the leaders of various tribes, obviously for the inheritance of the Khan's position."

"Now, the Khanate has the Left and Right Wise Kings. One is Jie Li Khan's son Shiluodi, who is his closest blood relative. The other is you, the Right Wise King, who has made countless military achievements."

"If Jie Li does not pass the Khanship to you this time, Qiu Muda will definitely kill you and remove the biggest obstacle for the Crown Prince Shi Luodie."

Gu Rentu was impatient and couldn't bear to see Li Yan and Helmu playing around in circles, so he made things clear directly.

The other leaders in the tent all nodded silently, with expressions of agreement on their faces.

Li Yan was not in a hurry and looked at everyone: "Then tell me, what should we do?"

Hemur's eyes narrowed, and he directly suggested: "Why don't you claim to be ill and not go, and let the tribal leaders below take some people to go? With your prestige within the Khanate, as long as you don't show up, the Khan will definitely not act rashly?"

"Yes, my king, you can't go!"

"This trip will surely be dangerous."

"As long as the king doesn't go, Jie Li won't be able to implement his ideas even if he has any."

"."

Others agreed and were all very worried.

These people can sit here and enjoy the power of half of the Khanate with ease, all because of the existence of the Right Wise King.

The advantage of relying on military conquest is that it is quick and simple. In addition, Li Yan only considers loyalty when promoting people, and does not care about other abilities, prestige, and character.

The disadvantages of doing so are also very obvious, that is, the top level will gather a large number of slaves who have no morals or talents and only obey Li Yan's orders. There are many people below who are not convinced in their hearts. The disloyal elements will be intimidated by the great reputation of the Right Wise King as a killing god and will temporarily lie dormant, quietly waiting for the opportunity in the dark.

Except for Li Yan, no one can shock the entire East, so these people care about Li Yan's safety more than anyone else.

Li Yan had no choice. As a native of the Central Plains, living on the grassland, people who were truly capable, knowledgeable and ambitious, even if they recognized Li Yan's abilities in their hearts, would reject Li Yan's identity in order to fight for power and profit.

He only employed people with inferior abilities and character, who were often at the bottom of society and could only gain special honors by giving up their principles and flattering those in power.

However, there are also advantages to doing so. Once these incompetent people occupy high positions, they will remain loyal to Li Yan and unite closely around him for fear of losing their current wealth and power, thus using the scale effect to offset the lack of talent to a certain extent.

As long as Li Yan gives the order, these people dare to do anything and are willing to do anything.

When Li Yan attacked the Ate tribe, he ordered the tribe to be massacred, using the name of the tribe's resistance against Jie Li. As a result, this group of evil spirits under his command did not hesitate and wiped out the entire tribe of 30,000 people from the grassland.

His methods were so brutal and ruthless that even he himself was shocked.

There was not even anyone to plead for mercy, which made Li Yan deeply shocked and alert. He had not realized before that these villains who only had loyalty but no morals and humanity, once they occupied high positions and held great power, would protect their own interests at all costs.

Even if it means destroying everything, it is worth it. It's so terrible.

I must learn from the lesson. After returning to the Tang Dynasty, I must select people with integrity, talent and loyalty, so that the management can be healthy and long-lasting.

However, we are now on the grassland, and we are not looking for long-term development. We are just using it temporarily, so there is no need to worry about so many things.

Look, as soon as Li Yan did something dangerous, these people tried their best to stop him as if their own father had died.

Li Yan nodded with satisfaction. Although these people lacked brains and vision, their loyalty was top notch.

There was no worry on his face. Li Yan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. I have dealt with the Khan for many years and I know him well. Although he is not a generous person, he attaches great importance to the current Khanate." "Zuo Xian Wang has not really grown up. Even if I am eliminated, Zuo Xian Wang will not be able to maintain the position of Khan."

"Besides, the Khan is still in good health now, so he won't be in a hurry to pass on the throne for a while. He is also wary of Shi Luodie. My existence is the guarantee that Shi Luodie will not act rashly."

"Unless he is about to die, after getting rid of me, Shi Luodie will be eager to take his place. He won't be that stupid."

"The main reason for holding Qiumuda this time is that the Khan wants to show off his current majesty and appease the excessive killing caused by conquering various tribes some time ago. The current Khanate is not stable and cannot withstand internal strife at all."

After finishing speaking, Li Yan shook his head. The people on the grassland were still simple-minded. Compared with the court of the Tang Dynasty, they were several levels lower than the others. Even Hemur, who was known as a wise man, could not see through the situation at the top level because of his narrow perspective and shallow experience.

He didn't know that any action of those in power must be based on the circumstances of the time and cannot be done as they please.

He had heard these rumors, but he didn't take them too seriously.

The reason why there are such rumors on the grassland now is that even if Li Yan has not had contact with the previous forces in recent years, he can see that it is obviously from the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty is now busy with internal reforms and unable to move north. The Tang Dynasty's annexation of the western part of the grassland and its digestion of the Xueyantuo and the Xibi tribes are superficial and in name only. Only the Tuli tribe is under the Tang Dynasty's control under its own arrangements.

Under such circumstances, it was inevitable to contain Jie Li, who had unified the eastern part of the grassland.

In a situation where it is impossible to send troops out by force, based on the current actual situation of the Turkic Khanate, the most cost-effective option is to launch a public opinion offensive, spread rumors, sow discord, create internal discord, trigger internal turmoil, and let the situation that Jie Li has just stabilized fall into war again.

Li Yan was well aware of this, and he knew that this was generally the case.

However, the Tang Dynasty was unaware of the true internal situation of the rebuilt Turkic Khanate and could only resort to empiricism.

There is nothing exactly the same in the world. The path to success in the past may be a trap that leads to failure now; and what is a dead end now may lead to a way out in the near future. This is the charm of the changes in the way of nature.

The Turkic Khanate, which is now in a corner, relies half on the reputation of Great Khan Jie Li and half on its own iron-blooded methods, and is still far from being truly stable.

Jie Li will not take action against himself in the short term, because the current situation depends on these two people.

Both of them had fatal flaws. Although Jie Li had high prestige, he was too old.

Although he had a bad reputation, he was after all a Central Plains person, not a local native. He had no bloodline or ethnic group to rely on and his roots were shallow. It was no problem for him to rely on the Great Khan to become a local separatist force, but it was not enough for him to rule the entire grassland and become the Great Khan.

The most suitable person to take over the Khan's throne was Shi Luodie, but Shi Luodie lacked prestige and was not good at fighting, so many people were dissatisfied with him.

Therefore, for Jie Li, the most important thing is to maintain the current good situation and buy enough time to allow Shi Luodie to grow up and be able to support the general trend.

Li Yan did not take this too seriously. He comforted his subordinates and ordered them to prepare and set off for Urge on a chosen day.

Ten days later, after a trip full of sightseeing, Li Yan and his subordinates, the Right Wise King, arrived in Urge in a mighty procession.

As the date for the Qiumuda Recruitment was getting closer, tribes from all directions kept coming to Urge in droves. Not only was the small market town crowded with people, but even on the grasslands around the town, tribes set up camps everywhere and settled down.

Seeing Li Yan coming, all the tribes stood respectfully on both sides to welcome him, expressing enough respect for the prestigious Right Wise King.

After arranging everyone outside the town, Li Yan brought Gurentu and Hermu to the tent of the Great Khan Jie Li.

"Right Sage Prince Li Yan, here to see the Khan!"

Li Yan simply bowed. The Turks did not have as many red tape as the Tang Dynasty. All he had to do was touch his chest and bow to express his respect for the superior.

Jie Li, who was sitting at the top and talking to Shiluo Die and the leaders of several important tribes below, stood up and walked down when he saw Li Yan coming. He was very happy with a smile on his face: "Ha, look who's here. It's the first general under this Khan, the Right Wise King who is feared by the grasslands."

"Greetings, Right Wise King!" The leaders who were originally chatting with Jie Li stood up to greet him and paid their respects.

However, they knew how capable and prestigious this Right Wise King was, second only to Jie Li, so they did not dare to be careless or negligent at all.

Li Yan took a quick look and saw that no one jumped out to find fault, so he knew that Jie Li had no ill intentions this time, so he put on a friendly expression on his face and greeted everyone.
