"Father, you might not know this, but although these people have never been on the battlefield, they occasionally hunt in the mountains and see blood. Moreover, their morale is high.”
"There is a great talent among these people. Because he had a good relationship with his clan when he was young, he was able to learn the military strategy of his ancestors and was able to lead the army in battle.”
Li Ke spoke with assurance, as if he was very confident in this person and had already won.
"Are these people of great use?" Li Shi Min asked expectantly.
The Great Tang only had three hundred thousand soldiers, and only twenty to thirty thousand could be mobilized as soon as possible. The rest were in the various military headquarters, so it would take time to gather them.
If the people Li Ke spoke of could stop Li Yi and the Turks and give the Great Tang time to gather its army, they might be able to fight.
As for the matter of moving the capital and giving up Guanzhong, Li Shimin had never thought about it.
Li Ke's answer made Li Shi Min very satisfied.
"Father, these people are skilled in archery and martial arts. Any one of them is not much worse than the Flying Fish Uniform Guards under my command. They are also the White Horse Servants. Although they are few in number, they must have their own strengths when dealing with foreign tribes. After all, General White Horse suppressed all foreign tribes outside Youzhou with only a few thousand White Horse Servants!”
Li Ke's words were clearly filled with flattery. After all, although Gongsun Zan had been able to suppress the Outsiders back then, how could the Outsiders compare to the Turks now?
Moreover, Gongsun Zan did not only have a few thousand white horse followers. He also had other troops. If he only gave you 10,000 white horse followers, would the foreign tribes dare to mess with you?
However, Li Ke was right. The White Horse Righteous Army was a force that specialized in dealing with foreign races!
The Turks are good at riding and shooting, and are skilled in archery and riding, but the white horse is more loyal than them.
And the White Horse Righteous Followers armed by Li Ke would only be stronger!
However, Li Ke's words really moved Li Shiming. It couldn't be said that he was moved, but it could be said that he was drooling!
Not much. As long as he had 300,000 cavalry, he would have the capital to fight against Li Yi and the Turks. At that time, he would no longer be in a predicament where he had no soldiers.
At least they had soldiers that could be used. According to Li Ke's description, they were not ordinary soldiers. He knew about Li Ke's Jinyiwei and the power of the Flying Fish Guards. They had 30,000 White Horse followers who were not much different from the Flying Fish Guards.
Li Shimin was immersed in his longing for a better future, but unfortunately, Li Ke poured cold water on him.
Seeing Li Shiming's undisguised drooling look, Li Ke said,"Royal Father, it's better not to have any ideas about these people.”
"Oh? Why?" Li Shi Min asked.
"These people are very united, and their customs are valiant. According to the ancestral teachings, they never interfere in the conflicts between the Central Plains dynasties.”Li Ke said slowly.
"And as far as I know, these people are strong-willed. If we forcefully recruit them, it will probably backfire and end up with nothing.”
Li Ke explained to Li Shimin.
In fact, Li Ke had already thought of this to decline, in order to take the initiative.
However, Li Shiming took it seriously and frowned. It was like three thousand beauties were placed in front of you, but you couldn't force them.
Moreover, the entire world is the land of the king. You are citizens of the Great Tang, yet you are unwilling to be used by the Emperor?
Li Shimin, who was an emperor and a hawk who was born in the army, could not accept that there was an army that he could not control in his territory. Moreover, it was such an elite army. How far was Luoyang from Chang 'an?
If the other party wanted to rebel, wouldn't they be able to reach Chang 'an in a day with their horses?
Li Shi Min looked at Li Ke, his meaning was self-evident.
"Ke 'er, is there really no way to subdue these people?”
Li Shi Min asked expectantly.
However, Li Ke was not used to his bad habits.
"Father, if we were to force them, with their strong temperaments, they would probably fight until the last person. Even women would not live. This is the conclusion I came up with after interacting with them for a few years.”
Li Ke said seriously.
Li Shimin felt even worse.
Wasn't this telling him that he could only look at the three thousand beauties in his harem and not touch them?
