The starry sky in Ancient Moon Realm is different from that of Prehistoric and Blue Stars, but it is still full of stars. And because there is no industrial pollution, the sky here is clearer and the night sky is particularly moving.
But neither of the two people who were rushing on the night road paid attention to this.
An hour ago, after deceiving Song Qianwei, who was now becoming more and more unscrupulous and planning to set off with them, Di Xin and Zeng Hongshen took the opportunity to leave Yanque Pass and hurried along.
It is self-evident how fast an acquired late-stage weapon with shrunken ground and an innate grandmaster can be. Now Yanque Pass has long been thrown away and has even exceeded the distance of the previous Flying Tiger Army exercises.
.
After confirming that Song Qianwei could no longer keep up, Di Xin and Zeng Hongshen slowed down.
Zeng Hongshen took out a sheepskin map from his pocket and found the approximate location of the two of them: "According to the marks on the map, we will go north in this direction and we can reach Ashina in about three days.
Part of the nomadic range.”
This was calculated based on the speed of Di Xin and Zeng Hongshen, and with the guidance of a map. For an ordinary person who came here for the first time without a map, it might take four or five times more time to get around this vast area.
grassland, let alone finding specific tribes in it.
"Three days..."
Di Xin looked to the north through the moonlight, as if he could see the Realm Lord descending on Ashina tribe in the distance.
"Three days are enough. After three days, the war between several Turkic tribes against the Ashina tribe will almost be over."
"Mr. Zeng, let's take a short rest before we set off."
"good."
The two of them sat directly on the ground and took out dry food and water from their backpacks for simple replenishment.
After that, the two of them stayed up day and night, heading towards Ashinabe.
The closer they got to the Ashina tribe, the more Turkic people they saw fleeing with their families after hiding themselves. From their occasional conversations, they could roughly deduce that most of them belonged to the Ashina tribe.
The development of the matter was almost as expected by Di Xin and others. As soon as the Ashina tribe returned to the grassland, they were caught off guard by the allied forces of Gaochang, Tuyuhun and other tribes who had ambushed them in advance.
It's not that Ashinabu didn't expect this to happen, it's just that these tribes took action much faster than they expected. A certain little khan was worried about this, but after two consecutive defeats, basically
No one took his words to heart anymore.
So this scene happened.
Di Xin's expression did not change at all as he saw refugees running outside with sallow faces and panicked faces.
It was not because these refugees were not ordinary people from Dali that Di Xin was hard-hearted. Although the Turkic tribes were his enemies now, he still regarded them as human beings.
The current situation is indeed caused by Emperor Xin's reasons, but war has never been without sacrifices. In addition to soldiers, this also includes the common people on both sides of the war.
As an emperor, Di Xin does not lack the decisiveness to kill. He will not deliberately harm innocent people, even if these people are enemies, but he will not because his strategy will inevitably cause some people suffering.
And guilty.
This is war, not playing house.
When he saw some deserters among the fleeing people, Di Xin knew that the Ashina tribe had fallen completely at a disadvantage and was heading towards inevitable defeat.
At this time, he and Zeng Hongshen also approached the battlefield where several Turkic tribes besieged the Ashina tribe.
…
Ashina tribe, within the king's tent.
The Great Khan once again destroyed the royal tent into a mess.
After overturning the last intact table, the Great Khan's eyes were bloodshot and he was breathing heavily: "Rebellion, rebellion, everyone is rebelling. I am the king of the Turks. How dare they attack me? They are not afraid.
Will the Wolf God send down divine punishment?”
Sirius God.
Another person in the king's tent, World Lord Ashinas, saw his nominal father Khan in this world being incompetent and furious, with a trace of contempt flashing in his eyes.
At this point, you still place your hopes on the non-existent Sirius God. It is simply stupid.
However, a trace of helplessness also flashed in his eyes.
When they first arrived in the Ancient Moon Realm, although it was a bit regretful that they did not come to the most powerful Dali, it was not bad to have the Turks, the most powerful cavalry in the world.
Moreover, he is still the Little Khan and is the first in line to succeed the next Great Khan. Compared with fighting for power in Dali, it can be regarded as Tianhu's start.
The initial development was just as Ashinas expected, going smoothly.
He barely used any words to get the Great Khan and the elders of the tribe to agree to the plan to invade Dali from the south. He once forced the border of Dali into a panic, and the battlefield even extended all the way to Taicang Mansion beyond the border.
His right to speak in the Turkic tribe suddenly reached the pinnacle of his status, only under the Great Khan.
But that all changed after getting the news a few months ago.
The so-called raging fire cooks oil. The faster the prestige rises, the faster it collapses when it begins to collapse.
When the 20,000 troops belonging to the Ashina tribe were almost slaughtered, if the Great Khan had not suppressed the public opinion in the tribe for him, he might even lose his identity as the Little Khan.
But this did not allow him to relax. Ashinas' goal was not just the junior khan of the Ashina tribe, but even the position of the great khan of the Turks was just a means to achieve his goal.
However, the loss of 20,000 troops caused the strength of the Ashina tribe to weaken. Those tribes that were unwilling to be inferior began to make moves, and the status of the Ashina tribe was threatened.
What's more serious is that the loss of 20,000 young men has led to a reduction in the number of cattle and sheep that the tribe can graze. The reduction in the number of cattle and sheep means a shortage of food for the winter. If there is insufficient food, many people will starve to death.
In this way, it will fall into a vicious cycle. After the spring begins, the strength of the Ashina tribe will drop to a very dangerous level, and it may even no longer be the first tribe of the Turks.
If you don't have enough strength, you naturally don't have the qualifications to be the king. Other tribes will definitely surround you like hyenas smelling the smell of blood.
At that time, apart from the Great Khan, he, the successor of the Great Khan, will be the one most targeted, and no tribe will let him go.
Under the siege of a large army, even if Ashinas was originally a Realm Lord, as long as he did not break the rules, he could only escape with the current abilities of this body, and he might not be able to escape.
