Chapter 767 New Conspiracy
In the Dulu Five Tribes, Prince Helu sat on a chair with his eyes flashing.
Below, the people who returned from the Great Zhou knelt on one knee.
"Your Majesty, that person has already agreed. He said that before he decides to start a rebellion, he will inform us. Then we will launch an attack on Youzhou and Chongzhou."
"Even if the Khitans don't agree to join us in attacking the Great Zhou, that's no problem. After the death of Khitan Supreme Khan Li Jinzhong and Marshal Sun Wanrong, no one can compare to our Turkic marshals."
"In this battle, the Turks will surely swallow up more than half of the Great Zhou."
"The land north of the Yellow River will then belong to us Turks."
Prince Helu didn't care what the other person said, but looked at the other person's face carefully.
He had been thinking about this face day and night for three or four years.
He only regretted that he had not forced the other party to stay by his side, which led to the death of Ulezhi and all the wind riders in vain.
"Sir, long time no see."
Prince Helu stood up and personally came down to help Yuzhou, who was dressed like a Turk, up.
This was the second time that Yu Zhou came to Turkestan in his life. The last time he came to Turkestan was to help Xiao Qingfang carry out a mission, and the second time was to do something big for someone.
"Your Highness, it's been a long time since we last met. I'm no longer as good as I used to be, but Your Highness is still as radiant as ever."
Yu Zhou looked at Prince Helu, who looked very similar to Prince Li Xian of the Zhou Dynasty, and was filled with emotion.
He was once curious whether Li Zhi had given Li Xian a brother, but later he thought that Li Zhi was the previous emperor after all, so he didn't dare to think so.
"Please sit down quickly, please sit down quickly."
Prince Helu grabbed Yuzhou and pulled him to the edge of the chair.
The two looked at each other, and finally it was Prince Helu who couldn't help himself first.
"I never thought, Mr. Yu, that we would meet again in this life because of cooperation."
"Your Highness, I miss you so much after not seeing you for so many years. Thinking back to those days, when we were in such a crisis, you were able to escape safely, which really shows your true virtuous character."
"Mr. Yu, do you admit that I, Helu, am worthy of your following?"
"As the ancients of the Great Zhou said, 'How could a loyal minister serve two masters?' However, after the disastrous defeat in the Chongzhou case, I wandered to Luoyang and eventually became a retainer under the tutelage of Wu Sansi, Prince of Liang. It was His Royal Highness the Prince of Liang who invited me to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to discuss specific matters."
"Mr. Yu is truly unfit for this prince's use?"
"It might be possible in the future, but right now, His Royal Highness Prince Liang has treated me well. No matter what, I cannot betray His Royal Highness Prince Liang."
"Sir, you are truly a righteous man."
Prince Helu looked at Yuzhou deeply and gave up the idea of detaining Yuzhou and using him for his own purposes.
The two men stopped reminiscing about the past and began to discuss the specific details of the next invasion.
While they were discussing, someone suddenly came in from outside.
This man has a strong build and looks very much like Yuan Qi and Xu Shide, but his weight is obviously similar to Yuan Qi before he lost weight.
"What happened, Zig?"
The man who came was Qi Ge, the former general of the Tiger Division. After Prince Mochuo failed in his rebellion and was killed, Qi Ge joined the Dulu Five Tribes with the permission of Jili Khan, and is now one of the generals of the Eagle Division under the Dulu Five Tribes.
"Your Highness, the people who went to Khitan have returned. As you expected, the Khitan people are unwilling to join us in attacking the Great Zhou."
"Currently, several messengers have quietly returned to their positions in order to avoid being discovered by the Khan."
Sieg was not very happy. After all, the plan to attack the Great Zhou was right in front of him. Without such a strong helper as the Khitan, the Turks would still have many shortcomings if a real war broke out.
Those who are willing to rebel in the Great Zhou are probably also thinking of getting the Khitan people to attack together.
After they know Khitan's decision, these people may have to judge their chances of winning.
"It doesn't matter. As long as the Khitan race still exists, the soldiers stationed in Yingzhou by the Great Zhou will never dare to act recklessly."
"I have already sent people to contact the Yuezhi Kingdom in the Western Regions. They will attack Liang Province at that time to buy us time. After that, Liang Province will belong to them."
Prince Helu felt even more upset when he thought that there was one less piece of fat meat in his mouth.
Originally, he wanted to divide the Great Zhou with the traitors within the territory, with the Yellow River as the boundary, and the north and the south would be respected.
Then he helped Beishan Shah Khan seize power in the Yuezhi Kingdom. After that, Beishan Shah Khan became the king of the Yuezhi Kingdom and signed a peace treaty with the Turks and the New Zhou Dynasty.
According to Prince Helu's idea, after the Turks gained control of the area north of the Yellow River, they could find ways to annex the Khitan, then develop their national strength and march south to attack the Great Zhou, incorporating all of the Great Zhou's land into the Turkic territory.
But last year, Beishan Shah Khan somehow provoked Li Cunxi, the King of Qin of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Li Cunxi found a reason to chop off his head.
This resulted in a loophole in their deployment in the Great Zhou. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, Prince Helu made a decision. He found King Wu Sansi of Liang and decided to divide the Great Zhou.
Wu Sansi was also ruthless enough. As long as he could become emperor, he would fight for it no matter if it was half of the country or the entire Zhou Dynasty.
So, he found several allies and formed the Separatist Alliance.
However, even Prince Helu, who was also an ally, did not know who Wu Sansi's allies were.
"No matter what, this time we'll surround the Great Zhou from three sides and make sure the Emperor of the Great Zhou can't take care of anything!"
Prince Helu said in a resounding voice.
"The plan will surely succeed. When the North and the South share the same respect, I might even have a chance to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Yu Zhou put on a serious expression and said it against his will.
……
It was half a month later when we returned to Luoyang.
Li Cunxi paid homage to the emperor and told him about his trip. Only then did the officials in the court realize that the Khitan invasion was just a false alarm.
After putting this issue aside, a new problem surfaced.
Since the Khitan was not the real enemy of the Great Zhou, then the real enemy of the Great Zhou must be the Turks. The Turks who entered the Khitan and persuaded the Khitan to attack the Great Zhou have already proved this point well.
"Fortunately, Wang Xiaojie has already headed north. I am certain that there will be no worries at the border."
Wu Zetian put her heart back in her stomach and smiled.
A few days ago, the Khitan envoys entered the Great Zhou. Although they were nominally seeking peace, Wu Zetian was not entirely sure what the other party's specific intentions were. Therefore, she was not completely at ease.
As for now, just focus on the Turks.
Among the bunch of bastards from the five Turkic Dulu tribes, there are obviously few good ones, especially Prince Helu, who still has the intention to destroy the Great Zhou.
This time, Wang Xiaojie and Guo Yuanzhen blocked the Turks, wanting to see how these people would attack the Great Zhou.
"As long as the Turks dare to provoke a war, this time, I will make them know what pain is!"
Wu Zetian was full of confidence and looked around at her ministers.
"Long live His Majesty!" the ministers cheered.
