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

Chapter 819 Li Yan Appears
"So what if they are Han Chinese?"

Gu Rentu, who has a hot temper, said disdainfully: "I am a Baishan person from the Mohe tribe, and you are a Lithuanian from the Western Regions. Neither of us is a native of the grassland, but you are the leader of a tribe, right?"

Gu Rentu was a person Li Yan rescued from a tribe when he was conquering Tiele four years ago.

At that time, Gu Rentu was a slave of that small tribe, but he secretly fell in love with the daughter of his master's family and they secretly promised to spend their lives together. During one of his elopements, he was caught by the tribe.

The whole family was implicated and imprisoned on death row.

He was even tied up in the square, to be burned at the stake by the tribal elders as an example to others.

Li Yan led a large army and raided the tribe. Seeing that Gu Rentu was tall and strong, Li Yan was attracted by his talent. Not only did he release him and rescue his family, he also handed over the captured young lady and her family to him for disposal.

From then on, Gu Rentu was loyal to Li Yan and became a general under Li Yan.
He fought in battles for Li Yan, captured cities and fortresses, and made countless military achievements. Now he has been named a noble by Li Yan and owns a large tribe.

"The chief is different from the Khan."

Heermu sighed, thinking that he couldn't explain it clearly to a rough man like Gu Rentu, so he said directly: "These matters will be taken care of by the Right Wise King. You just need to fight the war and don't worry about other things. The wisdom of the Right Wise King is not something we can guess."

"That's not what I meant. Lord Gu Rentu's worries are not without reason."

The leader of the Mohe tribe below said, "The Right Wise King is not only the leader of our Right Grassland, but also the pillar of our entire Turkic Khanate. If Jie Li Khan is determined to pass the Khanship to his son, he will inevitably think of getting rid of the Right Wise King to reduce the threat to his son."

"If the Right Wise King makes a mistake, our Right Grassland will be leaderless and will fall apart in an instant."

The leader of the Shiwei tribe also looked worried: "That's right, the Right Wise King is related to the future of the Khanate. As the tribal leaders under the Right Wise King, how can we not care?"

"Let's persuade the Right Wise King later. Under the current circumstances, it's better for him to claim illness and not go." The Khitan chief also suggested.

As soon as the five heavyweight chieftains of the Right Wise King's tribe spoke, the remaining tribal leaders expressed their opinions one after another, and most of them were against the Right Wise King going to Urge to meet Jie Li under such circumstances.

At this moment, a loud roar came from outside the tent: "The Right Wise King has arrived!"

The bustling crowd stopped discussing, the tent fell silent, and everyone stood up to greet him, looking towards the door with reverence. From this, we can see the high prestige of the Right Wise King among this group of people.

The curtains of the big tent were pulled to the sides, and a young man in his twenties strode in.

The man was wearing an off-white robe, he was tall and slender, with a handsome face, eyes as bright as stars, thick eyebrows as sharp as swords slanting into his temples, and a neat short beard under his chin, which made the young man look more mature and steady.

The long straight black hair is casually tied behind her head, giving her a refined look.

If Ashina Yun were here, he would recognize at a glance that this man was none other than the Crown Prince Li Yan, who had abandoned his wife and children twice, disappeared from Mo Nan for five years, and was sought after by countless people in the Tang Dynasty.

During these five years, Li Yan had not contacted anyone in the Tang Dynasty. Even Ashina Yun and the tutors who stayed in the south of the desert would not know about the young prince who was weak and in need of protection in their hearts.

He unexpectedly became the Right Wise King of the Turkic people who dominates half of the desert grassland today.

Li Yan walked calmly with his usual gentle and elegant smile on his face. He walked straight to the handsome chair covered with a white tiger skin at the top and sat down.

He leaned back and looked down casually.

Led by Gu Rentu and Heermu, everyone saluted to Li Yan in unison and said, "We are here to see the Right Sage King."

Li Yan's eyes swept over the crowd gently, and he nodded warmly: "There are no outsiders here, we are all brothers, there is no need to be so polite, everyone, please sit down!"

What Li Yan said was absolutely right. If he still had some concerns in the Central Plains and sometimes had to keep some outsiders to cover up, but when he left the Central Plains and came to the grassland world where people believed in the law of the jungle and had relatively simple minds, Li Yan became much simpler and more brutal.

He used his Eye of Truth to win over many loyal followers.

That is truly the level of those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me become kings.

Anyone who has disloyalty to him will be eliminated, and anyone who is loyal to him, even if it is for the sake of a better future, will be accepted and given important positions.

Relying on his ability to read people's minds, Li Yan gathered a large number of his own people around him in a short period of time. This enabled him to unify the entire eastern grassland for Jie Li, regroup it, and form the current New Turkic Khanate.

Gu Rentu and Heermu, two of Li Yan's right-hand men, one a military man and the other a scholar, were the best ones picked out by Li Yan from among his many subordinates.

Hermu was a member of the Sogdian tribe in the Western Regions. He was shrewd and calculating. When he was selling goods from the Western Regions to the grasslands, he was robbed and killed by grassland horse bandits. Not only were all his goods robbed, but all the men he brought with him were also slaughtered.

When he was about to die, he was saved by Li Yan who passed by. He not only killed the bandit but also returned his goods. However, after this near-death experience, Heermu learned from his mistakes and felt that it was very dangerous for him to do business on the grassland without military support. He could avoid it this time but not the next time, so he simply gave up business and joined the army to follow Li Yan.

It just so happened that Li Yan needed some people around him who were proficient in financial management, so he accepted Helmu's help in managing some spoils and compiling various data.

Hermu was not only good at business, but also quite smart, and with his high loyalty, he was promoted by Li Yan and relied on as his right-hand man.

Hermu and Gurentu helped Li Yan to manage the entire Right Wise King's tribe in an orderly manner, which really saved Li Yan, who was rather lazy by nature, a lot of worries.

Later, when Li Yan brought his army to Hulun Lake, he divided the 50,000 people under him into three parts. Ten thousand people were directly under the king's tent, and the other 20,000 people were commanded by Gurentu and Hermu respectively.

Seeing Li Yan's trust in them, the two of them were convinced and loyal to him.

The main forces under the Right Wise King were composed of three major ethnic groups, namely Mohe, Shiwei and Khitan.

Li Yan was too lazy to bother with these tribes, and his management was simple, rough but effective.

That is, they directly select some of the most loyal people from the three tribes as tribal leaders, unify the management of their respective tribes, and directly use force to suppress those who are dissatisfied in the original tribe and replace them with their own people.

For example, Yelu Jin of the Khitan was originally just a leader of a small tribe in the Khitan tribe and had no qualifications to lead the entire Khitan.

But with Li Yan's keen eye for talent, he was directly promoted to the leader of the entire tribe.

He also used force to remove obstacles from the original upper class, which not only weakened the other ethnic group, but also kept the remaining people firmly in his hands.

Therefore, although the number of tribes under Li Yan's command is large, large-scale rebellions are rare. There is not a single traitor in the entire account, and all of them are absolutely loyal.

Li Yan was from the Central Plains, and everyone in the upper echelons of the Turkic Khanate knew this.

But so what? After actually entering the grassland and surviving here, Li Yan realized that his previous concerns were unnecessary. There was no obvious distinction between Chinese and barbarians on the grassland like there was in the Central Plains.

There are many tribes on the grassland. From a broad perspective, they can be divided into six major ethnic groups, and from a smaller perspective, they can be divided into countless groups. This place truly embraces all rivers and seas, and can accommodate people of any race to survive here.

At the same time, in order to compete for survival resources, they may also show their fangs and scimitars to anyone. The grassland tribes will also temporarily unite to deal with the Central Plains, facing the farming people in the way of nomadic peoples.

The harsh environment of the grassland has caused them to admire the strong and pursue survival. Only the strong can lead them to seize more survival resources and allow the tribe to reproduce and grow stronger.

The upper class is in disarray and divided into large tribes; the lower class is strong and united, which is a typical characteristic of nomadic peoples.

To survive here, it all depends on your strength of force, without any gentleness, courtesy, frugality or modesty.

As long as you can conquer them, break down the original tribal barriers, lead them to a better life, and achieve victory after victory, they will submit to you and will not be hostile to you because of inexplicable ethnic differences.

Truly ruling them was much easier than Li Yan had originally thought.

Li Yan is a powerful warrior who has killed countless strong men. He leads them to conquer one tribe after another and achieve one glory after another. In the face of these shining achievements.

Li Yan's prestige on the grassland really rose like the sun.

In the eyes of the enemies, he was Artusmode who walked out of hell; but in the eyes of his subordinates, he was like a god. The tribal leaders in the tent looked at Li Yan with passionate eyes, as if they were looking at their own beliefs.

This is the interest group created by Li Yan, with himself as the core. In addition to obtaining the common leader, the Great Khan, who is recognized by all the tribes on the grassland, Li Yan has almost achieved the ultimate treatment that a foreigner can get here.

"You all know, right? The Khan will hold the Qiumuda Festival in Urge next month, inviting the leaders of all tribes to gather together, and the left and right wise kings must also be present. You all should pack up, and we will set off together in a few days."

As soon as Li Yan finished speaking, Heermu, the wise leader of the Right Wise King's tribe, said, "Your Majesty, haven't you heard of a rumor going around on the grassland?"

"What rumor?" Li Yan frowned.

Hermu said, "Your Highness, as everyone knows, Qiumuda is a grand event of our Turkic Khanate. In the harvest season of mid-autumn, tribal leaders from all over the grasslands lead their most outstanding tribesmen to gather together for horse racing, martial arts competitions, marriage alliances, and singing and dancing."

"It can only be held at the Great Khan's tent, and it is a symbol and representation of the Khanate's strong national power."

"The last time Qiu Muda was ten years ago, when the Khan was at his most powerful."
