Chapter 942 A good idea
"If I tell you this idea, I'm afraid His Majesty the Khan will chop off my head immediately."
Yuzhou pretended to be worried and didn't dare to say it out loud.
When Helu thought that the Turks were at a critical juncture of life and death, he no longer cared whether this was a bad idea or whether he would chop off Yuzhou's head.
He simply pulled out the knife from his waist and threw it on the ground.
"Prime Minister, I will throw this sword away!"
"According to what you said, Prime Minister, now is a critical moment for survival."
"As long as you have an idea, I'll accept it even if it's a bad idea. After all, I can't think of any!"
"I should be grateful to you for giving me advice. How could I kill a loyal minister like you?"
Yu Zhou was still hesitant and unwilling to say it.
Helu saw it and was worried.
He let go of Yu Zhou, picked up the knife again and put it into Yu Zhou's palm.
"Prime Minister!"
"The knife is in your hand!"
"If I really do something irrational, you will retreat with your knife in hand. How can I kill the Prime Minister without a knife?"
Yu Zhou looked down at the exquisite knife in his hand, shook his head, and put the knife back into the scabbard at Helu's waist.
He took a step back and bowed to Helu.
"Your Majesty, the Khan, is requested to flee westward and seek refuge with the Western Turks!"
Helu stared with an incredible expression.
After taking several steps back, he finally sat on the throne of Khan, which he had been willing to rebel to seize.
In the past many years, he had never heard anyone mention the name of Western Turkestan.
Even his father Modu Khan and the former Jili Khan only called themselves Turks, not East Turks.
Many years ago, the Turks split into two parts, the Western Turks went west for thousands of miles, and they defected to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Later, during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi, a Khan betrayed the Tang Dynasty and rebuilt the Turkic Empire.
After this, the Turks were defined as a complete country. In the eyes of these descendants, there was no distinction between Eastern and Western Turks. They were the Turks, not the Eastern Turks.
But today...
Yu Zhou made it clear.
Recalling the unpleasant memories of the ethnic group's division, Helu showed an extremely sad expression.
Suddenly, he remembered something, spitted, and said:
"That's nonsense!"
"My dear Prime Minister!"
"In the second year of Emperor Gaozong's Xianqing reign, General Su Dingfang led a large army to annihilate the Western Turks!"
"Aren't you from the Tang Dynasty? How come you don't know these things?"
Yu Zhou failed to fool people and smiled awkwardly.
How could he not know that in the second year of Xianqing in the Tang Dynasty, Su Dingfang destroyed the Western Turks?
He just wanted to take the opportunity to lure Helu into the trap, and this bad idea was also used by him to fool Helu.
If Helu really believed it, he would be so angry that he would die.
"Um, Your Majesty Khan, I am an exile!!"
In the blink of an eye, Yu Zhou came up with a good reason.
He was an exile, and life was already difficult for him. It was normal for him not to know some historical knowledge.
He Lu heard this and indeed did not doubt Yu Zhou's question, and said casually:
"You're a descendant of an exile, so it's normal that you didn't know about this. After all, I never imagined over ten years ago that I would suddenly become the son of the Khan of the Five Turkic Duluk Tribes after living so well in the Tang Dynasty."
Helu recalled that when he was in the Tang Dynasty, he lived a very comfortable life.
However, in the first year of Yongchun, Emperor Gaozong was in poor health, and the Turkic predecessor, Jili Khan's biological father, chose to rebuild the Turkic Khanate.
He and his father Modu Khan escaped from Chang'an and finally arrived in Makuli.
"Come to think of it, I was quite happy when I was in Chang'an."
Helu was sad for a second, then immediately returned to his normal self.
"Of course, being a Khan in the Turkic people is the most comfortable thing."
"Okay, Yuzhou, help me think of a solution."
When Yuzhou’s plan failed, he came up with another one.
He pretended to think carefully for a cup of tea, and then he shook his head as if he had come up with a brilliant idea.
"Your Majesty, Khan, if you don't mind my plan being a bad idea, I do have another solution."
"Perhaps, it can solve the biggest problem we are facing right now."
Like a long-awaited rain or a drowned person grabbing a stick, Helu stepped forward and grabbed Yu Zhou's hands.
"Prime Minister!"
"Please help me resolve this difficulty quickly!"
Yu Zhou said with a serious expression:
"If we want to resolve this crisis, the only way is for Your Majesty to escape..."
Before Yu Zhou finished speaking, Helu immediately interrupted him.
"Prime Minister, if they escape, won't all of Turkic Russia become the territory of the Tang Dynasty?"
Helu finally became the Khan of the Turks, but he lost hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops and ran away.
Then wouldn’t his position as Khan be in vain?
Helu would rather die than let this happen!
It would be better to let him die on the throne of Khan than to let him run away... just like Jili Khan in the past!
Yu Zhou tried to persuade him earnestly, "Your Majesty the Khan, have you ever heard of this saying?"
"If you lose your land, you can take it back, but if you lose your people, you lose everything!"
"As long as you're alive, you'll always have the chance to make a comeback. If you were caught, do you really think the Tang Emperor, Li Cunxi, would forgive you?"
"But please don't forget that the Tang Emperor, Li Cunxi, has a very good relationship with Jili Khan. Jili Khan even asked his two sons to recognize him as their paternal father. This is even better than a relationship between sworn brothers!"
After being persuaded by this, Helu felt that the logic made sense.
If he died, it would be useless even if the Turks were saved.
But if he is still alive, that’s another story. As long as he is alive, he can gather strength and start over.
As soon as he thought of this, he slapped Yu Zhou heavily.
"it is good!"
"Prime Minister, you are absolutely right!"
"I'll call back Kael'britan and the Wolf Riders. We'll pack up and set off immediately!"
"This time, I'm going to go outside of Dunhuang and Liangzhou to find those tribes. If I can invite them to attack the Tang Dynasty together, there will be a chance for them to become my Turkic Khan!"
Helu had a good idea. He immediately started writing a secret letter and then asked someone to deliver it to Makuli.
But he didn't know that Kaelin was already on his way to the Stone Kingdom. Staying next to Buzhen, he felt very uncomfortable with the bumpy feeling on the horse's back and the coldness that occasionally penetrated into his collar.
With the thought of seeing Helu one last time, his eyes gradually became firm.
Even if I die, I must die in front of Helu.
As a loyal follower of Helu, he would protect Helu even until his death!
"We'll be in Macuri in three days at most."
Bu Zhen swallowed the liquor and felt much better.
"Have you thought about what to say to Helu after you meet him?"
Kalebron closed his eyes, feeling mixed emotions:
"There is only death, why bother saying more?"
