Uh-huh!
The bay-red horse shook its head and advanced slowly in the wind and snow, but its blood did not heat up.
The long-awaited fight did not come. The Turks in front of them did not seem to be as ferocious and brutal as they had imagined, but... were somewhat gentle.
"Dear General of the Tang Dynasty."
Kang Sumi knelt on one knee on the snow and said respectfully,
"Please allow me to know your name."
Xu Fenglei looked down at the lean Hu man and remained silent.
"Who are you to deserve to know the name of our chief executive?"
Yuchi Gong kicked Kang Sumi and sneered,
"When did the Turks start playing with their intestines? Old guy Jieli stays behind closed doors, so he sends a thing like you to deal with it?"
"Hahaha...a bunch of eggless things!"
He came rushing in but there was no fight, and he was very angry! Naturally, he was extremely sarcastic.
However, in the face of Yu Chigong's rude words, Kang Sumi still looked calm and composed. He looked at Xu Fenglei with more respect and said:
"Dear General of the Tang Dynasty, I am the envoy of the Turks. I come on behalf of the Great Khan Jieli to surrender to the powerful Tang Empire."
Xu Fenglei's expression moved slightly.
"surrender?"
He said with a half-smile,
"It seems that it is not the nature of you Turks to surrender without fighting."
"Is it true that as Yu Chigong said, the eggs of Turkic men suddenly disappeared and they all became eggless cowards?"
"hehe……"
Snapped!
Xu Fenglei skillfully dismounted and stood in front of Kang Sumi.
"Of course not."
Kang Sumi smiled awkwardly, cupped her hands and said,
"I heard an old saying from the Central Plains: He who knows the current affairs is a hero."
"The Tang Dynasty was strong, but the Turks were weak. The Tang Dynasty came to attack in a strong way, but the Turks were unable to fight."
"Furthermore, during the war, life was devastated, and the soldiers and civilians of the two countries suffered the most..."
"I, the Great Khan Jieli, have a benevolent heart and would like to imitate Liu Chan during the Three Kingdoms period and seek peace from the Tang Dynasty as he did to the Wei State."
Xu Fenglei touched his chin and glanced at Li Jing.
Li Jing looks at his nose with his eyes, and his nose looks at his heart, as calm as a sculpture.
"Really? That would be perfect."
Xu Fenglei suddenly smiled and said,
"You know quite a lot...Okay! I accept Jieli Khan's surrender, and I also promise that he can be granted the title of An Le Gong in Chang'an like Liu Chan, and he will be happy until death."
"Now, go and call him out."
Kang Sumi: "..."
"Well……"
When he heard this, his face turned pale and he said,
"Go back to the Chief Manager, Great Khan Jieli...he is not here now."
Yuchi Gong raised his eyebrows.
boom!
He kicked Kang Sumi on the back with a heartfelt kick, almost killing Kang Sumi!
"You damn bitch...are you kidding us?"
Yuchi Gong's eyes widened and he shouted fiercely,
"You said you wanted to surrender, but the person is not here?"
"Have you run away already and are you here stalling for time? Tell me the truth! Otherwise..."
"Come on! Boys, come with me!"
As soon as he disagreed, he charged towards the Turkic camp!
Within the camp, a group of old, weak, sick and disabled Turks were all holding sticks, looking at Yuchi Gong who looked like a fierce god with great nervousness.
The young men, horses and weapons of the clan were all taken away by the Great Khan more than half an hour ago!
Only Kang Sumi and a group of old and weak people with little fighting ability were left here to act as human sandbags, buying precious time for the Great Khan.
"No, no, no, no!"
Kang Sumi was so frightened that she waved her hands repeatedly and said,
"General, calm down, general, calm down!"
"I tell the truth, I tell the truth! Jieli Khan did not surrender sincerely, he had already led his troops and ran away, but I surrendered sincerely, I surrendered sincerely!"
"To show my sincerity, I would like to give the General Manager a gift. I believe that you will not refuse it."
"Come, come!"
Bang bang!
He clapped his hands, and two people walked out timidly from the camp behind.
Xu Fenglei raised his head and took a look, slightly surprised.
This man and woman, although tanned by the sun on the grassland, look like people from the Central Plains.
"This is Empress Xiao, the former Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty."
Kang Sumi waved to the two of them and introduced Xu Fenglei,
"And this child is the grandson of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, Yang Zhengdao."
"These two have been stranded in Turks for many years. I will return them to the Tang Dynasty to show my sincerity."
Li Jing turned his gaze over, looked at it for a few times, and then nodded.
"General Manager, this is indeed Queen Xiao. I have met her before."
He said,
"As for Yang Zhengdao, he does seem to be somewhat similar to Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty."
It's true at first glance, and it's judged to be true.
"I've seen the chief steward, General Li Jing, and this... this general."
Although Empress Xiao fell into despair, she was once the wife of Emperor Sui Yang, and her nobility was still there.
Grandson Yang Zhengdao is not very good. He has been kidnapped and intimidated since he was a child. Now he is as timid as a grandson. He lowers his head and looks at the snow under his feet without saying a word.
"hehe."
Xu Fenglei waved his hand, ignored them, and sneered,
"Is this considered a gift?"
"Do you know who is the talker in the Central Plains now? If you use the queen of the Sui Dynasty as a gift to the general of the Tang Dynasty, you really have it!"
"I'm not interested in these two unlucky guys hanging out wherever they can to cool off."
Yuchi Gong snorted and said proudly:
"That's right! These two might be of some use in the Sui Dynasty, but they are of no use to us in the Tang Dynasty! Taking them back will take up a lot of space!"
Queen Xiao's face froze, and her expression showed a touch of sadness.
Fortunately, I have shed enough tears after being wronged over the years, and this time is no different.
"General Manager, calm down. Although these two people may be of little use to you, they are the former royal family of the Central Plains. I heard that the ceremonial state of the Central Plains dynasty would not destroy its temple even if it destroyed its country."
Kang Sumilian said,
"They can return to the Central Plains and be properly resettled. This is also a good opportunity to show the benevolence and kindness of Emperor Tang."
"To take a step back, regardless of their status, these two are also from the Central Plains. They were once from the Sui Dynasty and are now from the Tang Dynasty."
"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will not give up any of his people, right?"
Some clever words made Xu Fenglei nodded slightly.
"General Manager, what this person said makes sense."
Li Jing opened his mouth and said,
"Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao may be useful to Your Majesty."
Xu Fenglei nodded after hearing this.
"All right."
He waved his hand and said,
"I accept this gift that is not a gift for His Majesty the Emperor."
"I never thought that Jieli Khan would have such a eloquent person next to him, huh... you just said that Jieli didn't really surrender and had already escaped?"
Kang Sumi nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, Jieli Khan is afraid of the power of the Heavenly Army of the Tang Dynasty and has fled far away to Mobei!"
He answered truthfully,
"The General Manager has a keen eye, and I dare not hide anything."
"The Great Khan left me here to pretend to surrender, but in fact I was blocking his path and delaying time... At this moment, he has already gone hundreds of miles to the north!"
Yuchi Gong: "!!!"
"Fuck you!"
Lao Hei said angrily,
"After talking for a long time, I'm still covering for that bitch Jie Li! Do you want to die?"
Click!
In just a moment, Yuchi Gong had already grabbed Kang Sumi's neck.
"Let him go."
Xu Fenglei said calmly,
"General Manager! This boy is obviously..." Yuchi Gong was particularly unhappy and wanted to strangle this cunning bug to death.
"I said let go." Xu Fenglei emphasized.
Uh-huh.
The fingers loosened.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Kang Sumi fell to the ground and coughed violently.
"You said that Jieli was pretending to surrender, but you were really surrendering."
Xu Fenglei looked at him and said lightly,
"What's the real method? Tell me."
Kang Sumi relaxed for a while, then resumed his posture of kneeling on one knee and said respectfully:
"Jie Li is not a wise master. If you continue to follow him, you will die sooner or later!"
"So, Kang Sumi wants to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and want to fall into the arms of the bright master!"
"All the resources of Dingxiang, including cattle, sheep, horses and livestock, as well as all Turkic people, including me, are willing to donate them! As my certificate of submission!"
It wasn't until this moment that his thoughts were completely exposed.
On the one hand, they put pressure on Jieli and threatened him, so that he fled in a panic.
On the other hand, he received all the products and resources in the Dingxiang base camp, packaged everything and dedicated it to Datang, in exchange for glory and wealth!
Sogdians.
He is really smart and capable!
"joke!"
Yuchi Gong snorted coldly,
"Jie Li ran away, leaving only the crooked melons and cracked dates in this camp. I can kill them all if I charge into the formation!"
"Everything in Dingxiang is the trophy of Tang Dynasty! I want you to offer it? Are you qualified for this?"
Xu Fenglei couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
It was a wise decision to take Captain Chi Gong with him. He is so aggressive and he is the strongest mouth substitute!
If it's not convenient for me to say it, this old boy will say it all!
"The general is right."
Kang Sumi said sincerely,
"As long as Dingxiang is defeated, everything will be a spoil of war for the Heavenly Army of the Tang Dynasty."
"But if this is the case, it will inevitably cause unnecessary bloodshed. Even if the lives of the Turks are not counted, the lives of the Tang army soldiers are precious, how can they be easily lost?"
"In addition, forced plunder will inevitably cause trampling and losses. These losses will belong to the Tang Dynasty in the future!"
"Now we can clearly receive all the resources peacefully and peacefully, so why go to war?"
Xu Fenglei examined Kang Sumi's face.
"You're right. If you keep talking, you're still close to impressing me." He said.
"good."
Kang Sumi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice,
"I would like to ask if the Tang Dynasty's use of troops this time is to destroy the regime of Jieli Khan, or is it to destroy the Turkic country and destroy the Turkic people?"
Xu Fenglei stood with his hands behind his back.
"Of course it's the former."
He looked at the Turks behind the camp and said seriously,
"What the Tang Dynasty wants to attack is just the unjust Jieli Khan and a handful of greedy and vicious militants. We will not kill the simple and kind-hearted Turkic people indiscriminately."
Kang Sumi nodded.
"now it's right."
He responded,
"Since the Tang Heavenly Army wants to destroy the regime of Jieli Khan, after the Tang Dynasty wins this battle, the Turks will still live in this land, but they will just have a different ruler. Say, who is the ruler, what difference does it make?”
"And now, there are two choices before the Chief Manager."
"First, ignore my surrender, forcibly trample the fortress, get some resources and a group of Turks who are resentful of the Tang Dynasty and may rebel at any time; second, accept my surrender, fully accept all resources with my help, and get A group of docile Turks who fear the Heavenly Army of the Tang Dynasty."
"General Manager, what would you choose?"
"Sharp teeth and sharp mouth." Yuchi Gong curled his lips and muttered.
Although he was dissatisfied with the fact that the seller was seeking glory, he had to admit that what the other party said was very true, and he was even thinking about Datang in every aspect.
This certificate of nomination is very solid!
"Kang Sumi, you are very good at guiding people to do multiple-choice questions."
Xu Fenglei patted his shoulder gently and said with a smile,
"As long as you are not a fool, you will choose the former."
"I can accept your surrender."
"But before that, I need you to tell me frankly, where did Jie Li run away?"
"If you can provide valuable information, I can guarantee that you can enjoy glory and wealth in the Tang Dynasty and spend the rest of your life safely."
Kang Sumi was stunned and looked a little struggling.
He could resort to tricks and use Turkic resources to surrender in exchange for benefits.
This can be said to be a wise plan for self-interest. After all, Jie Li's instruction to him was to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.
But if the whereabouts of Jie Li were revealed, it would be the seller seeking glory in the true sense.
Therefore, at this moment, Kang Sumi's moral bottom line was severely shaken.
Finally, under Yu Chigong's fierce gaze, he finally said:
"Go back to the Chief Manager. To tell you the truth, the Great Khan left in a hurry. At the moment of leaving, he might not even know where he was going."
"Maybe it's a place to stay in Mobei, or maybe it's a place where horses are drunk...or maybe it's to ask for help from other tribes."
"I... don't dare to lie. If I provide you with wrong information, it will be a huge sin."
Xu Fenglei twirled his fingers.
"It doesn't matter, I will only use your words as a reference, and I won't believe them all."
He smiled lightly and said,
“Be bold, but say it’s okay.”
"Tell me your guess."
Kang Sumi: "..."
"Are you mute? Say it!" Yuchi Gong glared and activated the lion's roar skill again.
"me……"
Kang Sumi was shaken by the roar, frightened to the point of incoherence, stammering and speechless, and her whole face turned red.
"Don't waste time."
Xu Fenglei pointed towards the northwest, looked sideways at Kang Sumi, and said softly,
"Let me think about...there."
"Yinshan, right? He went to Yinshan."
"As long as you pass the life-and-death barrier, Jieli will be able to avoid danger. After all, Northern Xinjiang is so big and the desert is so vast. It's not easy to find someone there."
Kang Sumi's expression froze slightly, and the blush on his face quietly subsided.
This escape route...is it so easy to guess? !
This change in expression was noticed by Xu Fenglei and Li Jing.
The two of them looked at each other and felt reassured.
