“But your father is old.”

Lin Suisui sighed softly. Before Gu Han could say anything else, Gu Han pointed out this fact.

An old lion was destined to be unable to suppress the restlessness in the tribe.

“I believe you know what the northern barbarian nobles hope to obtain. In the past, you were able to stabilize the situation because your father was still young and powerful at that time. Therefore, he could also suppress those with completely different thoughts and schemes.

However, your father is old and sick now. Moreover, your brother succeeded this time. What will the nobles think?

What if the promise your brother gives is more tempting than that of your father?

“For example, invade the empire’s territory and share the wealth that has been plundered from the empire? What do you think those nobles will think? Will they still be willing to listen to the instructions of an old and weak Khan and turn down the wealth that they might obtain?”

…..

“But that’s just a verbal promise! The wealth that can only be obtained after taking over the empire is just empty talk!”

Gu Han’s expression turned very ugly, but even so, he still refuted.

Although he felt guilty, he still insisted, “Those people arc not fools. Can’t they tell which is more important?”

“If they could, your brother wouldn’t have rebelled.” Lin Suisui looked at Gu Han sympathetically. “To them, perhaps it’s best if your father dies.

Because in their opinion, they could have obtained that wealth easily. It was only because of your father’s interference that their ambition to expand was blocked.

Therefore, at this moment, most of the northern barbarian nobles arc kissing up to your brother and celebrating the wealth they’re about to obtain!

They might even have begun to discuss how to divide the territory next.

“If you go back and tell them now that you want to wake up your father and let everything return to normal, do you think those people will listen to you or kill you, the troublemaker?”

“They’re delusional!” Gu Han raised his hand to cover his face and muttered in anguish, “Even though the grassland has been peaceful these past few years, the impact of last year’s snow disaster hasn’t subsided yet. What makes them think that they can get everything they want by attacking the empire at this time?”

Previously, when the northern barbarians were at their strongest, they had failed to invade the empire, let alone now…

What were those fools dreaming about?!

“That might not be the case. Let’s take a gamble.” Pci Qian poured a cup of tea that Lu Ze had brewed and held it in his hand as he sniffed the fragrance of the tea. Then, he replied indifferently, “If they win, won’t wealth and land be at their fingertips?

Besides, I heard that they plan to cooperate with the Siamese in the south this time?

Wouldn’t their chances of success be higher this way?”

“Heh, my brother is only thinking about what his concubine said, but the Siamese Kingdom is not a fool.” Gu Han scoffed at this statement.

Thinking of the appearance of the concubine in his brother’s tent, he couldn’t help but feel disdainful. “In short, they’re risking the survival of all the northern barbarians.”

Although Gu Han liked to fight, compared to his other brothers, he understood the hardships of the northern barbarian civilians the most.

Because he had been abandoned in the desert for some reason, the wolves raised him before he was five years old. When he was five years old, he was discovered by the nomadic herdsman tribe and brought back to the tribe to be raised. Later on, when he was sixteen years old, he was found by his father and brought back to the Imperial Court. For more than ten years, he had been living in an ordinary northern barbarian herdsman family.

Therefore, he knew very well what the most ordinary northern barbarians needed. He also understood what war meant to ordinary northern barbarians.

War meant the destruction of many tribes and tens of thousands of herdsmen’s families.

“I’m unwilling to become enemies with the empire, but not because I’m weak.” Gu Han lowered his head. Thinking of what his father had once said to him, he couldn’t help but say, “Although there have been small conflicts at the border all these years, this is actually the result of my father trying his best to suppress them.

You’re right. The nobles are tempted because they haven’t experienced the hardships of the war.

My father said that in the last years of the previous imperial court, when the Central Plains was in chaos, the northern barbarians also thought of taking the opportunity to invade and plunder. However, in the end, they were killed by the Central Plains’ garrison and almost lost the Imperial Court!

When his father succeeded the throne, the entire Imperial Court was in chaos.

It has only been a few years, but once on shore one prays no more! They think that they can break through the empire’s borders and plunder its wealth.

But have any of them ever thought about where the rations and troops will come from?

The empire is vast, so how far can the northern barbarian cavalry charge in for? What will the consequences be if they’re intercepted midway?

They never thought of it at all!”

“Then why don’t you become the next Khan?” Lin Suisui tilted her head and stared at Gu Han, who looked anguished. Then, she suggested, “Won’t all of this be resolved if you become Sr. Khan and eliminate all the nobles who rely on your brother and want to restart war?”

“But my father is still alive!” Gu Han thought of his father, who had always taken good care of him and doted on him. He couldn’t betray him again at this time.

“Even if your father can be saved from this serious illness, we don’t know how long he can last. Moreover, he has already been defeated this time. How many northern barbarian nobles will submit to him sincerely?

If you only want to help your father stop this rebellion, what about the next time?” Lu Ze looked up at Gu Han as he advised Lin Suisui in a low voice, “There are too many unforeseen events. What will you do in the future?

If your father doesn’t intend to pass the throne to you, but to other brothers, wouldn’t all your efforts be in vain?

Then what’s the point of our cooperation with you?

A new emperor brings a new royal court.

“Before you decided to cooperate with us, haven’t you considered if you’re qualified to cooperate with us?”
