"I am willing to join the Tang Dynasty!"

Asunasmo's secret made Ni Li lower his head to Li Chao and stroked his right hand to his left chest.

"Does Jiabi Teqin really want to surrender to my Tang Dynasty?" Li Chao looked at Ni Li condescendingly, and he was about to send troops. At this time, Asunasmo actually sent a secret envoy to surrender.

This shocked Li Chao.

I was so tired that I could not even give me a pillow when I said I wanted to sleep. I was just going to do whatever I wanted.

OK is simply suspicious.

Li Chao was not knocked down by happiness, but he was a little wary. Maybe this was a trap. Of course, Li Chao did not completely disbelief. Asanosmo, Li Chao also knew a little about this person.

In the Turks, they always served as the special military officer of Jiabi. They had a good background, but because of their appearance, they were suspected to be not a Turkic species. In addition, in the early years, they were elected as a Khan by the tribes in the northern Mo Dynasty. Although it was later discovered that the Khan of Qimin arrived in the Sui Dynasty, Simo automatically went to the Khan throne.

But this is a dark history after all. After four great knights, it has not been valued until now. It has never been able to control military tents, which has a lot to do with these.

In history, Asunasmo later surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. At the beginning of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty destroyed the 00 Turks in the East. Jie Li was defeated and fled. Simo followed him and was captured together. Li Shimin appointed him as the General of the Right Wuhou and the Governor of Huazhou. He also changed him to the Prince of Huaihua, and asked him to command Jie Li's old subordinates and live in the area south of the Yellow River in Fengzhou.

After that, he was given the surname Li.

After that, Li Simo was still very loyal to the Tang Dynasty and even followed Li Shimin to conquer Liaodong, and never betrayed him until his death.

With such a history, it should be said that he was very credible to join him, but now he has only been in the sixth year of martial arts, and the East-Turkish are still as powerful as the sky and have not been defeated.

Who can guarantee that Simo will be really loyal to the Tang Dynasty at this time?

"If Simo Special Forces come to vote, how many soldiers and troops can he bring? Can he offer Fengzhou to the Tang Dynasty together?" Li Chao asked without any concealment, "Also, how can I believe Simo Special Forces' sincerity?"

Su Dingfang said on the side, "That's right, how do we know that this is not Ashinasmo's trick trap?"

"The sincerity of my special service can be seen by heaven and earth." Ni Li swears to the heaven.

Su Dingfang said disdainfully, "That is also known to heaven and earth, you know, but we don't know."

Ni Li looked at Li Chao, "Li Xiangguo, my special agent is really committed to joining Tang."

Li Chao was still half-believing and half-doubted. He would not easily believe Li Simo. "There is no basis for nothing. If Simo's special agent can show some sincerity, well, it is the kind of sincerity that can be seen and touched, then I will naturally believe it. Otherwise, I really can't believe it."

Seeing this, Ni Li knew that it was nothing to say.

It seems that the Tang Army General wants them to accept the letter of surrender.

"I wonder what the Prime Minister said is sincerity, can I be more specific?"

"I want Fengzhou and Henan." Li Chao offered the conditions.

Fengzhou is the Houtao Plain, which is the Bayannur Plain in later generations. It is in the north of the Yellow River and the west of the East Tao Plain. Henan is the Ordos platform to the south of the East Tao Plain.

Because it is located south of the Yellow River, it is called Henan. Although it is far less prosperous than the East Tak and West Tak Plain, it is not useless.

The central part of Henan is the two major deserts of Kubuqi and Mu Usu, which are the most barren places. However, in the northern part close to the Yellow River, there are the Yellow River alluvial plains, with many plains. The terrain is flat and the water and heat conditions are good. There are more than 2 million mu of cultivated land that can be reclaimed, of which more than one million mu of water can be irrigated.

The northern plains are easier to reclaim. Although they are not as concentrated as the Lingzhou Plain, the area of ​​the northern plains is not smaller than that of the Ningxia Plain.

Historically, Li Simo was moved to Henan by Li Shimin for grazing, and there were tens of thousands of accounts and tens of thousands of soldiers in this area.

The north is an alluvial plain, an excellent farming area, while the east is a hilly and gully area. Although the land is not suitable for cultivation, it is very suitable for grazing and fruit growing. In addition, there are also many wetlands along the riverside in the eastern region, which can also be grown.

In the west, there is a slope-shaped plateau area. This area has poor conditions, but the terrain is flat and has little ups and downs, so there is no problem in developing grassland and animal husbandry.

The biggest feature of Henan is its vastness.

The plains in the north, the desert in the middle, hills in the east, plateaus in the west, and hilly areas in the south.

In such a vast place, it is no problem to raise a million people. It can not only develop farming but also develop animal husbandry, not to mention excellent mineral resources such as salt, coal, and iron.

Although it is not as good as the East Tak and West Tak Plain, it is better to use it and is also a treasure land.

Li Chao has a big appetite. Asanosmo said he wanted to surrender, but he just said that he couldn't do it, so he had to come up with something real.

Nili was shocked. This Li Xiangguo had a big appetite. He was not only satisfied with Simo's return, but also wanted Fengzhou and Henan.

Ni Li coughed and said in a dilemma, "Besides General Simo's three thousand soldiers and horses, Fengzhou also has another five thousand cavalry. These people are temporarily controlled by General Simo, but it is not easy to take them to the Tang Dynasty. As for the purpose of presenting Fengzhou and Henan to the Tang Dynasty, it will be even more difficult."

Chu Suiliang kept watching.

Li Chao was not very enthusiastic about Simo's initiative, but he was extremely enthusiastic. If Simo really surrendered, that would be amazing.

He couldn't sit still.

"Simo Special Forces can be used as an internal support. At that time, our Tang Dynasty troops marched into Fengzhou and Henan. Simo Special Forces can work together inside and outside."

"Of course there is no problem with this." Ni Li replied.

Chu Suiliang excitedly said to Li Chao, "Master, a great opportunity to recover Fengzhou in one fell swoop!"

Li Chao just shook his head.

He was a little dissatisfied with Chu Suiliang's sudden interruption. He originally wanted to make more conditions, but now Chu Suiliang was impatient to intervene, and things changed again.

"Okay, I will immediately forward the letter of your secret service to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty. At the same time, we can now plan to take Fengzhou together with others. In order to show our sincerity, I ask General Simo to immediately withdraw the troops from the Beishankou of Lingzhou. The general will regain the place, and it has been named Ningyuan."

He revealed this plan to send troops to Smo in advance, and Li Chao also wanted to test him.

A small Ningyuan Fort is five hundred miles away from Fengzhou and a desert in the middle. Even if Li Simo knew his plan, it would be difficult for him to reinforce. With the hundreds of defenders in that small fort, he could not defend the news of the attack.

But Li Chao could use this to see Simo's reaction.

The mud is gone.

Chu Suiliang looked excited, "Asina Simo surrendered, our army can take the opportunity to capture Henan and Fengzhou in one fell swoop, and the Shuofang will be determined."

Li Chao poured him a basin of cold water.

"The most taboo thing about Deputy Envoy Chu is to lead troops to fight is to be too eager for quick success and instant benefits. In order to win, it is very dangerous to lose objective and fairness. Asnathom, we don't know whether Ashinasmo really surrenders. We must be fully prepared, not just thinking that the other party will surrender. You must know that many troops who were lured into the enemy were all because they only saw the bait in front of them, but did not see the hook behind them."

Chu Suiliang's face flushed.

The excitement also quickly fell back.

"What the Prime Minister is right is that I have lost my composure."

Li Chao turned to Su Dingfang and said, "Another 30,000 more troops are recruited, and this time we will prepare 50,000 soldiers."

Originally, Li Chao was only planning to call 20,000 troops to fight Ningyuan, but now, Li Chao has recruited more troops and is preparing to use 50,000 troops. Because once Ningyuan is captured, Li Chao may take advantage of the situation to go north and march into Henan or Fengzhou.

There are 50,000 troops, which can ensure the safety of the march. If Asarsmo is a bait, at least 50,000 people can make them escape unscathed.

"Sui Deputy Envoy, Tang Qu's presidency will be handed over to you."

Chu Suiliang was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded.

"Then the official will leave first." Seeing that Li Chao had no intention of leaving him with military advice, Chu Suiliang had to retreat tactfully.

Li Chao attracted Ke Qing.

"Please help me go to Fengzhou and check this Asuna Smo. I want to know if there is anything wrong with him in Tang, and whether there is any trap in it. If he really plans to vote for Tang, why is it?"

"It's not cheap for me to take action." Ke Qing said lightly.

Li Chao was also helpless about this chief instructor of the Tooth Soldier. Although he became Li Chao's personal bodyguard and chief instructor of the Tooth Soldier, he was actually different from ordinary subordinates. Because the two agreed to be the first, Ke Qing was more like a salary provider and had a unique status. Li Chao could not order anything he didn't want to do.

Ask him to take one move, and there are 100 taels of gold.

"As long as you find the exact information, don't worry, I won't lose you for this hundred taels of gold."

One hundred taels of gold is not expensive to assassinate an enemy commander or to find out the truth about the opponent's commander. One hundred taels of gold is 800 jin for ordinary people, but for Li Chao, who has 100,000 troops, 800 jin is really nothing. Any military expenditure is calculated in a thousand jin.

"Or why I'd just help you kill this Simo, and I'll only charge one hundred taels." Ke Qing said.

"Don't, if this person really wants to surrender to Tang, a person who lives is a hundred times more expensive than a person who dies. Just help me figure out the situation inside, I will consider the others."

Fengzhou.

Cutting mouth.

This is the southern entrance of the Houtao Plain and an important Yellow River ferry crossing of this section of the Yellow River.

Asunasmo led three thousand men to stay here.

Nili quietly came back.

"What did Li Chao say?"

"This Li Chao is very smart. He doesn't believe in the Secret Service. He wants you to show sincerity." Ni Li said.

"Sincerity? What sincerity does he want?"

"He wants Fengzhou and Henan."

“The appetite is so big.”

"What else?"

"Li Chao said he was about to attack Wubao and asked you to withdraw the defenders."
