Chapter 513 The Nomads Are Coming
Xu Zhiqing remained silent for a long while before finally speaking. "This place is called Kizil, located more than eight hundred li northwest of Xingqing. It is bordered by the Jian River and the Sayan Mountains. Simply put, Kizil is the Turkic capital where the tribal chieftains and the royal court reside."
Gao Qiu took a sharp intake of breath, his eyes widening, "Brother Lin, you can't be joking. Travel thousands of miles to attack the Turkic royal court? That's the Turkic stronghold! Are you speaking in riddles? Even I don't dare think about it."
Lin Wanrong nodded with a smile, "In warfare, deception is key. A surprise attack can be the ultimate winning move. Brother Gao, if even a brave and wise man like you doesn't dare think about it, would the Turks ever expect it?"
"That's true," Gao Qiu murmured to himself, nodding and grinning. "Alright then, let's go to Kizil, steal their prized horses and their women!"
‘This old man never forgets about seizing women,’ Lin Wanrong thought, chuckling to himself.
Attacking the Turkic royal court by surprise! Lin Wanrong's idea was bold to the extreme, bordering on recklessness. It had the undertones of a heroic adventurous spirit and even a hint of romanticism. It also demonstrated his extraordinary strategic vision and courage. Neither Hu Bugui nor Du Xiuyuan dared make a sound, but their eyes glinted with unrestrained excitement. The people of Great Hua had been oppressed by these nomads for far too long. Why couldn't they give them a scare for once?
The two men exchanged glances, their faces tinged with hope and trembling excitement. Clearly, Lin Wanrong's astonishing proposal had deeply moved them.
"This plan is unfeasible," said the military adviser Xu, shaking her head and dashing everyone's hopes. "A large force making a long-distance raid would likely be annihilated by the Turks before even reaching the plains. How can we talk about taking over their court then?"
