As the wars with the tribal alliances ended one after another, Tumidu's reputation within the Uighurs increased day by day, not because he could fight, let alone because he could lead the soldiers to the glory of victory, but because other Uighur nobles were too
Pull across.
Since those noble groups joined the war, they have suffered a one-sided defeat. Sometimes it is not that they are too weak, but that the enemy is too strong, it is not that they are not smart, but that the enemy is too cunning, so that the nobles are defeated repeatedly.
There are few victories. Tumidu has been prepared for a long time. Therefore, when facing the tribal coalition, although he cannot win every battle, his record is enough to compare with the noble generals who have been defeated.
Pride.
Compared with the noble generals within the Uighurs, Tumido's winning rate is very high. If he was placed in the tribal alliance, Tumido would have gone back to his hometown to herd sheep.
Because there was nothing to take into account, Chai Shao completely let go of his hands and feet, making the war appear elusive, making people unclear about the specific situation. The result is very obvious and easy to see.
Win more and lose less.
Because Chai Shao's tactics went beyond common sense, he dared to use many of the tactical arrangements that were only on paper to attack the Uighurs. In this case, the tribal coalition did not know what their commander was going to do.
Fight, let alone the Uighurs as the enemy.
Therefore, facing Chai Shao's troops and horses, the Uighur soldiers are always in pain because you can't guess how Chai Shao plans to fight.
Over time, the Uighurs also learned to be smart, that is, to avoid fighting with Chai Shao, and even place the battlefield in an open area, not giving Chai Shao a chance to attack and set up an ambush. Sometimes, even after winning the battle, they did not dare to pursue him deeply.
I was deeply afraid that Chai Shao had deliberately exposed his flaws.
Some people on the grassland say that Chai Shao is like a winter snowstorm on the grassland. You never know when it will hit you.
While the nobles suffered repeated defeats, Tumidu's reputation was at its peak among the Uighurs, which made many nobles very unhappy.
Uighur station.
"Khan, are you hiding something secretly, or do you have your own information channels and know the enemy's specific deployment?" Some nobles couldn't help but ask.
There was no way, his losses were too heavy, all his subordinates were killed, and now he was almost alone.
And this is exactly what Tumidu is happy to see.
Facing this nobleman's groundless accusation, Tumido originally wanted to stab him to death because he hated others using this tone, this posture, and even asking questions with a tendency to accuse and control. He was Tumidu, a Uighur.
Khan, you are not a puppet!
"Are you talking to me, Oduro?"
Tumidu looked at the noble with fierce murderous intent, "Are you qualified to start from a position of strength, ask me?"
Hearing this, the noble's expression changed again and again. Only then did he realize that Tu Midu was now powerful, but his own soldiers and horses had been completely lost.
The atmosphere in the tent was close to condensation. At this time, many nobles finally saw Tumidu's tyranny and domineering power. As the war deepened and the power of the noble group gradually weakened, Tumidu was no longer
Afraid of them.
"Khan, he doesn't mean that. He also thinks about the Uighurs. If Khan has a way to deal with the enemy, you might as well tell him. Only by working together can we defeat the enemy. Am I right, Khan?" the high priest said.
explain.
As a representative of Shinto, the high priest has a high status in the Uighurs.
"Of course you are right." Tumidu sneered, "But why do I hear people say that you all like to retreat without a fight?"
After the words fell, all the nobles looked angry.
"What did you say?"
"shut up!"
"It's ridiculous. When have I ever retreated? Don't you dare slander me!"
Excited, depressed, angry, desperate, the nobles showed various expressions, and Tumidu just felt sick after looking at them.
Sure enough, these disgusting guys deserve to die!
"If you are brave enough and still have the grace of my Uighur warrior, then you will not lose. The reason why you lose is because you have lost the glory of being a warrior and a strong heart.
You are not worthy of being called warriors now, you are just a bunch of fat-faced lambs waiting to be slaughtered by the Tang people."
As he said that, Tumidu glanced over one Uighur noble after another.
Once upon a time, these people were all brave knights and warriors within their tribe, but as the trade between the Uighurs and the Tang Dynasty unfolded, they got woolen clothes, they got sugar, and they even spent huge sums of money just to have a bite of ice cream.
Under the protection of various Tang Dynasty products, health elixirs, and even woolen coats, these Uighur nobles had completely lost their shape.
In the past, forced by the cold, they would ride horses in winter and lead their tribesmen to hunt lone ferocious beasts. But now, with woolen clothes and briquettes from the Tang Dynasty, they huddled in tents in winter, wearing
Wearing woolen clothes, eating barbecue, drinking goat's milk with sugar, holding a coal stove to keep warm, living a life that even gods would envy.
But precisely because of this, they lost their enterprising spirit in Wenwen Township.
In the past, they could brave the wind and snow to exercise themselves, but now they can no longer withstand the temper of the wind and snow.
Even if the weather gets a little colder, they don't want to move.
They have completely lost their strength as warriors, and what is left is nothing more than an empty shell.
No, it should be said that they are soulless zombies.
"What did you say?"
"presumptuous!"
"Tumidu, I want to duel with you!"
The nobles are like cats with hairy fur, spitting out all kinds of greetings. As proud prairie warriors, they can be killed, but they cannot be humiliated. Even if this person is a Uighur Khan, even if they themselves are no longer what they used to be.
of bravery.
But what's wrong with them?
After a lifetime of fighting, can't they enjoy it?
Tumidu looked at them with a disdainful smile on his face.
"Instead of arguing with me here, it is better to speak with strength. If any of you can defeat the tribal coalition, I, the Uighur Khan, can give up my position!"
He would never stop talking without surprising anyone, and he would silence all the nobles by voicing a single sentence.
Seeing this, Tu Midu seemed to have known about it for a long time, with a look of disdain on his face. These guys are just paper tigers, not good at all. In the final analysis, it is because they have suffered a defeat and can no longer hold on, and want to take advantage of themselves.
Get the benefits.
Do you think I'm a fool?
The nobles were very excited about Tumidu's proposal, but if they wanted to take action, it was impossible. They had no confidence in defeating the tribal coalition led by the Tang generals. They had suffered too much in the defeat, so much so that they didn't even have it now.
confidence.
And the high morale that the Uighurs had in defeating Xue Yantuo was also declining at the same time. If they couldn't win a big victory in a short time, everything would return to where it started.
Some nobles even wanted to take the initiative to sue for peace. Anyway, now that Xue Yantuo is finished, they, the Uighurs, are the leading power in the grassland, and there is really no need to go against the Tang Dynasty. Even though many of them have an eye for the Tang Dynasty.
As outstanding beings in individual consciousness, the Uighur nobles care more about their own interests. When their own interests are damaged, they do not want to continue fighting.
