Chapter Fourteen: Abandoning Dignity and Abandoning the Tribe
Therefore, even if Tumidu knew that the war between Xue Yantuo and the Uighurs was not his and Yi Nan's original intention, he would still pretend to be ignorant, kill Yi Nan, and flatten Xue Yantuo. It was not that he wanted to do this, but that He had to do this for the sake of the continuation of the tribe.
Facing the Uighurs and the Sijie tribe, Yi Nan could not resist, and after several hours of fierce fighting, he died tragically under the knife of the Uighur soldiers.
Tumidu looked at Yi Nan's body, as if he had seen his own future in the near future. He knew that after Xue Yantuo was finished, the Tang Dynasty would never allow the Uighurs to continue to exist and dominate the grassland. The next one the Tang Dynasty had to deal with would definitely be the Uighurs.
"Tumidu, good job. Kill Yi Nan and we will divide Xue Yantuo equally." Wu Sui looked at Tumidu with a smile.
But Tumidu looked at Wu Sui like a fool, and sneered: "I don't know if Xue Yantuo can be divided up, but if you have this idea, you will definitely be the next one to die!"
"What did you say?" Wu Sui's face was gloomy.
Tu Midu said coldly: "Wu Sui, do you think that the grassland will be peaceful if Yi Nan dies? I tell you, you are really too naive. Yi Nan's death is just the beginning. There cannot be another one in this grassland." For a Turk, it is even more unlikely that Xue Yantuo and the Uighurs will be in conflict again. If you don’t want to die, then honestly surrender to the people behind you."
"Tumidu, are you kidding me?" Wu Sui's face was not very pretty. He hated the feeling of being crushed by someone's IQ, and even more hated the other person's use of such a preaching attitude to teach him a lesson. If the Uighurs weren't so powerful, he would have hated it. Beat this arrogant guy to death.
Tumidu was too lazy to talk nonsense with Wusui. He turned his horse's head, ordered his men to clean up the battlefield, and then left alone.
He had to consider how to continue the Uighurs, and he could not let the Uighurs become the next Xueyantuo, let alone the next Turks, otherwise he would die and have no face to meet the successive heads of the Uighur clans.
Wusui watched Tumidu leave and snorted coldly.
They are also tools, so where does your sense of superiority come from?
In another part of the battlefield, Yu Chigong and others, who witnessed Yi Nan's death, expressed their joyful emotions from the bottom of their hearts.
"Finally we killed Yi Nan." Yuchi Gong chuckled and said, "The next one is the Uighur."
"Don't worry, Du Mozhi has already led his army to attack Xue Yantuo's camp. With the help of Chai Shao and Qibi Heli, Xue Yantuo's power must be ours," Qin Qiong said.
"What are you doing with Xue Yantuo?" Yuchi said respectfully, "We can also take the opportunity to destroy the Uighurs now."
"Don't worry." Qin Qiong explained: "Your Majesty has ordered us to weaken the power of the grassland to the greatest extent. Let Xue Yantuo and the Uighurs fight the last soldier, which is what we should do."
"It's up to you." Yuchi Gong twisted his neck and said, "No matter what, the Uighur must die."
"That's natural." Qin Qiong said matter-of-factly.
They have been planning for so long, instigating tribes big and small to help the Uighurs in planning to kill Yi Nan, in order to completely eliminate the two major groups of Xue Yantuo and the Uighurs.
The Uighurs, of course, cannot be alone.
Xue Yantuo's residence.
The blood on the tip of the knife had not dried yet. The Xue Yantuo tribe, which had been gradually prospering in the past, suffered a large number of casualties under the knife of Tumo Zhi, a young man. Yi Nan's sons, hardcore men, and nobles all died tragically in Tumo Zhi. Under the knife.
Chai Shao patted Du Mozhi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Congratulations, you will be the leader of Xue Yantuo from now on."
Tumozhi twitched his ears and said, "Where is Yi Nan?"
"He?" Chai Shao laughed, "Don't worry, Yi Nan can't come back. From now on, you are the leader of Xue Yantuo, and you don't need to take care of Yi Nan."
Tumozhi was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Will you deal with me in the future?"
"Why do you ask?" Chai Shao asked.
Du Mozhi said: "Xue Yantuo has never been disrespectful to you before, but you still want to kill Xue Yantuo. In the future, will you kill me in the same way?"
"Then it depends on your performance." Chai Shao said calmly: "You have to know that His Majesty the Holy Emperor Khan has always been a good man. If you wholeheartedly do good and become obedient people on the grassland, His Majesty will not treat you with his big heart.
How about it.
As for Yi Nan, he has never been disrespectful to us?
Haha, Tumozhi, as Yi Nan's nephew, don't you know what Yi Nan thinks about me, Datang?"
Hearing this, Tuo Mozhi was silent for a moment. Of course he knew what Yi Nan was secretly planning, but Xue Yantuo was gone before the action could be carried out. Who could say that Yi Nan had rebellious intentions towards the Tang Dynasty?
Or is it that the Tang Dynasty wanted to destroy Xue Yantuo from the beginning, and Yi Nan was just an excuse?
Tumozhi didn't know, and he didn't dare to make random guesses.
"Don't worry, I know what I should do." Tumozhi slowly lowered his head.
Chai Shao said: "Actually, I have a way to keep you alive. No, it should be your Tumozhi family."
"What can I do?" Dumozhi quickly handed over his hand, "Please give me some advice, General."
Chai Shao whispered: "Xue Yantuo's life and death have nothing to do with you. The life of Xue Yantuo that I want from Your Majesty is not yours."
Hearing this, Tuo Mo Zhi seemed to be trying to understand something and was deeply entangled.
So, Chai Shao pointed at Qibi Heli who was finishing up his attack over there, and said, "Look, isn't Qibi Heli living very comfortably now? He doesn't have so many worries."
Du Mozhi looked at Qibi Heli over there, and a deep contempt emerged in his heart. He sold his tribe to gain the mercy of the Tang Dynasty, and then lived under the shelter of others, living on the last breath, just like a dog.
"I understand, thank you General for your advice."
Two days later, the war temporarily came to an end.
Dumo Zhi killed all the family members and personal followers of Yi men in Xueyantuo. With the help of the Tang army, they controlled the remaining Xueyantuo tribe.
The previous battle between Xue Yantuo and the Uighurs had already made Xue Yantuo's already difficult situation even worse.
The current Xue Yantuo can only lead a thousand warriors with bows, and he is no longer the Xue Yantuo who roamed the grasslands.
Ever since, Tumozhi found Qin Qiong.
"The Great Governor, Tuo Mozhi is willing to lead the people of Xue Yantuo to submit to the Tang Dynasty and hand over military power. Please accept the Great Governor!"
In order to survive, Tumozhi decisively chose to give up his dignity and tribe.
Anyway, Xue Yantuo is finished, so what's the use of holding on to that?
It’s useless!
Now Xue Yantuo is his amulet, and he wants to use Xue Yantuo to exchange for wealth and health for the rest of his life.
Even if he ends up becoming the dog of the Holy Emperor Khan, it will be his own honor.
At the very least, you can still live that way, and you don't have to worry all the time that the Tang Army will deal with you, let alone that the Tang Army will let other tribes destroy you.
Now Xue Yantuo has lost the foundation to become a hegemon.
In this case, let Xue Yantuo use his last remaining energy to become his tool for survival.
Qin Qiong looked at Dumozhi's serious face and said, "I promise you this, the Governor."
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief!" Dumozhi thanked him solemnly.
To hand over Xue Yantuo's remaining fighting strength was not the slightest bit reluctant for Tuomazhi.
Survival is more important than anything else, let alone a half-broken army.
In front of the Tang army, no matter how powerful the grassland army is, it is just a chicken and a dog. The Turks cannot defeat it. Xue Yantuo could not defeat it before, and Xue Yantuo cannot defeat it now.
