After a melee, the troops and horses of Tuli Khan, the second largest tribe in Sujue, suffered heavy casualties.
The Tuli tribe, which was originally able to draw fifty or sixty thousand warriors, now has 20,000 warriors at its peak.
Looking at the camp with heavy casualties, as well as the leaders of the troublemaking small tribes who had been dragged to his eyes by his henchmen and killed, Tuli shook his head in disbelief.
"How could this be so? How could this be so? Our Tuli tribe could have become the strongest existence, but why did we fall into such a situation in your hands? It's so sad!"
Tuli couldn't understand his own soldiers and horses, how could his own people be so stupid, and his own people beat his own people? The culprits have all fallen to the ground, and no one knows why.
However, when these henchmen dragged their tired bodies to Tuli's side, they asked cautiously.
"Khan, what do we do next?"
Tu Li was a little stunned, but he still thought about what to do next under the gaze of everyone.
Tuli sighed as he looked at the remaining defeated soldiers in front of him and the camp that was damaged in the melee last night.
"Follow me to the south. Let's go to a slightly warmer place in the south to prepare for the winter. We must survive this cold winter no matter what."
Tuli is going to the south, but these confidants are afraid.
"Khan, can we not go to the south? The Tang Army has a feud with us, not to mention that we just had a fight with the Tang Army recently."
Tuli shook his head, "It doesn't matter, let's go to the south and wait until I finish editing the book."
Just as Tuli was about to say something more, he looked at the crowd of people around him and then changed his words, "Don't worry, everyone. Trust me, I will lead you to live a good life."
Although Tuli did not say it clearly, the informants of all parties here also believed that Tuli wanted to write a book, but he didn't know who to give it to. As long as he sent this letter, the Turks could live a good life, and they kept moving towards their original intention. The direction of the camp is passed.
After receiving the information from his spies, Jieli Khan of the Turks couldn't let go of the letter in his hand for a long time. Next to him, two confidants, Zhisili and Ashina Simo, were looking at the letter. There he was supervising Tuli's army, and the other was going to fight in other directions. When they were trying to get more rewards for their great Turks, Jieli suddenly felt that there was no one left to analyze for him, and he couldn't help but look at the letters in front of him. It's good to know what to do.
However, Jieli still looked at the letter in his hand fiercely and cursed Tuli.
"Tuli, you are really a loser. You pretend to be the Second Khan of the Great Turks. Do you think you can do this? How can you live in this world without losing your troops and generals?"
Jieli cursed a few times in the tent but that wasn't enough. He even roared there, which silenced the guards outside Jieli's tent. Neither Jieli nor Tuli could speak.
A hundred miles west of the military camp, Ashina Simo finished his day's inspection and returned to the military camp. Several personnel who were investigating the intelligence of the Tuli military camp returned.
Just seeing how injured they were, Ashina Simo was very curious.
"Were you discovered in Tuli's military camp?"
When Ashina Simo asked this question, these intelligence officers were ashamed.
"General, it's not that we were discovered, but that this sharp dog thief was lax in guarding his subordinates, and the camp roar actually happened!"
"What? Yingxiao?"
These people didn't know that when Ashnasmo sent them there, Tuli had already left the camp with 20,000 horses. However, when he took them there, Tuli happened to come back with some cavalry, thinking that Tuli didn't know where he was going. They were relieved. Although they looked a little embarrassed, they didn't think much about it.
What can a dozen people do?
So Ashina Simo didn't know that Tuli's 20,000 Turkic sons were almost completely destroyed.
While Ashina Simo kept asking these intelligence officers what was going on, he finally figured out Tuli's situation, and was filled with sadness after knowing the general story of what happened.
"This sharp head was really kicked by a donkey. There are only two or three big cats and kittens left among 100,000 people. It's interesting. How can such a person be the opponent of my Khan? Don't worry about him. Don't worry about him. He has died. Although I can fight with him if I go now, there is no need for us to let our Great Turks fight within themselves, let alone lose the only strength we have now. Let's go back and join our Great Khan."
Ashnasmo finally made a decision and decided to lead the army back to find his Great Khan Jieli.
Tuli had the opportunity after Ashina Simo left. He came to a location not far north of the Tang Dynasty border and began to write letters to arrange for trustworthy people to meet Li Shimin in Chang'an City.
The overall meaning of the letter is to use his current tribe to join Li Shimin and change their tribe's life.
When Tuli's messenger anxiously embarked on the road to Chang'an with the letter, Xu Yunyan, who was far away in Yanmen, after arranging his troops and horses, also received the news from the spies he had spread out.
After seeing this, Xu Yunyan was ecstatic.
"What? Are you sure? Is this the real Tuli tribe? This tribe of 100,000 people now has less than 50,000 people? But the warrior tribe only has more than 20,000 people?"
Looking at the general intelligence information sent by his intelligence personnel, Xu Yunyan was very happy.
How about going straight to Huanglong? Although during Li Shimin's Northern Expedition to the Turks to capture Jie Li alive, Tu Li leaned on the giant ship of the Tang Dynasty, Xu Yunyan still attaches great importance to the fact that people who are not our race must have different feelings.
When the Tang Dynasty was strong and powerful, they were docile sheep, but the Tang Dynasty was constantly at war, and they were plundering bandits. Raising them might bring trouble to themselves at any time, not to mention An Lushan seemed to He is just a barbarian, but such a situation like the Anshi Rebellion cannot happen again.
Xu Yunyan thought too much, so he prepared a fatal blow to the Turks here. He destroyed the Tuju first, leaving only one Jieli. When the army went north, he could put it on the ground and rub it.
With this in mind, Xu Yunyan summoned many of his generals.
Looking at the many Tang Army generals standing in front of him, Xu Yunyan touched his chin and made arrangements.
The 10,000 people he could mobilize directly were not suitable for all the expeditions. If Tuli was a conspiracy, wouldn't the whole army just fall into a trap after they went out for the expedition and let them steal their homes?
At that time, it was very embarrassing.
In the end, Xu Yunyan led the four King Kongs, Zhai Peng, Li Chun, Zhang Xia, and Zhao Dong. Each of the four King Kongs led a thousand people and rushed out of Yanmen, heading towards Dingxiang where Jieli was. Enter.
But not long after they marched, Zhai Peng and others surrounded them.
"General, have we gone to the wrong place? Jieli still has a large number of soldiers and horses in Dingxiang. Let's go to him like this. Isn't this just throwing an egg at a stone? We should deal with Tuli first, right? Tuli will fight now. After that, he was like a frightened bird, plus he suffered serious casualties. If we don’t pinch such a soft persimmon, why should we pinch Jie Li?”
Xu Yunyan looked at them and smiled.
"It's not that I won't attack Tuli and deal with him once and for all, but that the strength on the grassland has changed so much now. What if Jieli annexes Tuli? No matter what, we have to make their strengths similar. ."
Xu Yunyan said what he was thinking, and the four kings were even more surprised.
“But general, we only have a few thousand people, and even if we fight ten of them one by one, we still can’t defeat the Turks.
To defeat Jie Li, one of us must defeat twenty or thirty of them. This is impossible, right? "Isn't that it?" "
Xu Yunyan smiled after they finished speaking.
"Since we can't defeat them if we fight ten of them, then if we fight twenty or thirty of them, won't we defeat them?"
After casually saying this, everyone was stunned.
"But...but didn't you say it's impossible? We can't react."
Seeing them wondering here, Xu Yunyan chuckled.
"We can completely disguise ourselves as Turks. Didn't we capture a lot of armor? In this melee in Tuli, there must be some small tribes who want to go out to find a new master. We will take advantage of this opportunity to enter Dingxiang and let Dingxiang Isn’t it enough to be the same as Tuli Camp?”
Xu Yunyan's plan was finally explained to everyone, but everyone felt a little embarrassed when they saw him here again.
Xu Yunyan sighed when he saw them looking like this.
"Don't you have any confidence in your abilities? You don't even dare to go to Dingxiangcheng?"
"It's not that I don't dare, it's that General we don't know how to speak Turkic!"
have to!
Xu Yunyan had forgotten all about it.
"Yes, what you said makes sense. We don't speak Turkic."
Seeing Xu Yunyan deep in thought, the Four King Kongs asked this "General, what are we going to do next?"
The four kings looked at Xu Yunyan funny here, waiting for Xu Yunyan to tell them what they should do next, but Xu Yunyan's face was a little ugly.
"What else can we do? Turn around and deal with Tuli first. Let's take action on Jieli's behalf and clean up the portal province first. They were eventually annexed."
These four kings are full of questions again.
"Isn't it the same as us going to solve it and him being annexed?"
"It's different, it's different."
Xu Yunyan explained to them, "The combat power of the Turks has been reduced when we attack them. If they are annexed, the combat power of the Turks will not be reduced at all."
Xu Yunyan was looking for any excuse here to save his face as a general, but he couldn't let this group of people who were very convinced of him come up with any excuse to refute him.
However, this group of people was also confused by what Xu Yunyan said, and they were only marching towards Tuli's original military camp.
But after the army turned around, Xu Yunyan was here again sighing.
"Is this all we can do? I still want to go head-to-head with Jieli, but what if I don't know Turkic language? Do I need to popularize it among the military advisors?"
Xu Yunyan shook his head when he thought of this.
"No, we can't popularize Turkic dialect among the military. We want Turkic dialect to become history completely, just like what I want to do, let the flag of the Tang Dynasty be planted all over the world, and let those bird songs completely become history. The whole world can only Isn’t it beautiful that the Chinese language of the Tang Dynasty is a family language?”
Thinking about the future scenes, Xu Yunyan felt very satisfied.
But just when Xu Yunyan was thinking about these happy things, he burst into laughter. The soldiers next to him were very curious as they looked at the brilliant Xu Yunyan who was smiling here. The four Vajras gathered together quietly.
"Is our general stimulated? Did we speak too harshly just now? Do you think it's like this?"
Looking at Xu Yunyan, who kept giggling there, the four kings were full of worries, and before they could worry for a long time, Xu Yunyan immediately smiled brilliantly, as if he had thought of something even more unexpected.
At this moment, the four Vajras looked at each other in confusion.
"General what's going on?"
