Fang Jun's face turned livid and he ordered: "Leave two witnesses and kill the rest!"
"Here!"
Gao Kan took the order and ordered his men to tie up the soldiers and kill them on the spot.
Fang Jun only has about ten soldiers on this trip. Taking so many prisoners is asking for trouble and cannot be taken care of. Once they are escaped, they will most likely send a warning letter to Yu Wenfa in advance, which will hinder Fang
Jun's next actions.
"Spare my life!"
"Don't kill me, I'll tell you whatever you want to know!"
"Kill if you want, if you frown you are not a good man!"
"Please, I still have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child at home..."
"Come and chop him, he's got a big scar on his head!"
Some people died generously, while others cried out and begged for mercy.
They are soldiers, and they can charge into battle without fear of death, but they are not dead soldiers. Facing the sharp sword, it is impossible for each of them to be indifferent to life and death and kill them at the neck.
Fang Jun had no sympathy at the moment. He waved his hand and screamed in agony. Heads rolled down one after another. The snow was dyed red with hot blood. After a while, it was covered with snow blown by the strong wind, and it turned white again.
Cover everything up.
"Get on your horse and arrive at Mayi City after dawn!" Fang Jun ordered loudly and got on his horse.
The soldiers all agreed. Gao Kan and Wei Ying bound the hands and feet of the two witnesses, stuffed rags into their mouths, and placed them horizontally on the horse. The group reined in the reins and turned around, crossed the hillock, and ran straight along the pass.
Mayi City.
*****
To the north of Dingxiang City is Xue Yantuo's camp.
More than a dozen butter torches were burning brightly, illuminating the entire tent. The burning torches emitted a faint green smoke, making the tent filled with smoke.
However, the Hu people in the grassland cannot afford Han candles, and they have long been accustomed to being so smoky all their lives...
Dadushu is neatly dressed, wearing a big cloak, squinting at the people under his seat.
The leaders of more than ten tribes suddenly felt proud in their hearts.
Tiele has always been the most powerful nation on the desert grassland, but due to internal divisions, they had to rely on the Turks. They sweated and contributed their cattle, sheep and children to the Turks' strength, but they were still jealous, provoked and suppressed by them, and they were scattered.
It was not until Xue Yantuo rose up and unified all the tribes in Tiele that the great unification of Tiele was realized!
The united Tiele people are absolutely invincible. They are like a pack of wolves and eagles on the grassland and desert. They are invincible wherever the blade reaches!
"Everyone, I have just received a piece of news, so I have summoned you all to come here for discussion. I hope you will not blame me for disturbing my dream. Tumidu, please tell everyone about the situation."
"Here!"
Tu Midu cleared his throat and told Zhao Deyan that he had sent people to look for him.
This man is eloquent, his tone is ups and downs, and he speaks very clearly...
As soon as he finished speaking, the tent was transformed and noisy!
"That old thief Zhao Deyan is not dead yet?"
"That old dog must be a hundred years old, he's really alive!"
"That traitor has caused great suffering to our Tiele tribes. How can we trust his words?"
"It's true, there must be a trap waiting for us. If we Tiele people don't die, that old dog will never die!"
…
Zhao Deyan's reputation on the grassland was so great that even though he had not been seen or heard from for more than ten years, the moment his name appeared in the tent, the leaders of the Tiele tribes immediately remembered Zhao Deyan's advice to the previous Turkic Khans. This resulted in the suppression and persecution of Tiele tribes.
It was really painful and unforgettable!
Scolding, scolding and complaining.
Dadushu was so noisy that his brain ached. He quickly waved his hands and the noise gradually subsided. He asked, "What are the noisy people like? Puguduo, tell me."
Puguduo is the leader of the Pugu tribe. He has a big and thick leopard head and eyes. He is very powerful. Hearing this, he said: "Second prince, when Zhao Deyan served under Chuluo Khan and Jieli Khan, he was The two khans mostly relied on each other and treated each other as counselors. During this period, I don’t know how many times they tempted the two khans to persecute and suppress my Tiele tribes, especially your Xue Yantuo tribe. They were all driven to the north of Yu Dujun Mountain. In Qili, the sun is blazing during the day and the night is bitingly cold... Then Zhao Deyan is the life-and-death enemy of my Tiele tribes! How can you listen to him?"
As soon as this statement came out, many people supported it.
It is true that the image of Zhao Deyan in the minds of these Tiele tribe members, who is as cruel as a devil, is too unforgettable...
Da Du She pointed at a skinny old man and asked, "Tell me about Qu Li and Loss."
Qu Lishi was the leader of the Beye Ancient Tribe. Hearing this, he rolled his eyes and said quickly: "Second Prince, I don't agree with Pu Guduo's words. Speaking of grudges, there are countless grudges and grudges on this grassland. , Not to mention the centuries-old hatred between us Tiele people and the Turks, even though all of us here are descendants of Tiele people, there are still few people who have hatred between each other? On the grassland, whoever is stronger has always listened to whoever is stronger, not only It occupies the fattest water and grass, the fattest cattle and sheep, and also the most beautiful women! How can there be no hatred for what we are fighting for? In my opinion, Zhao Deyan certainly has hatred against Tiele, but he has hatred against the Turks. The hatred is even worse! Now there are rumors on the grassland that he is actually a Han. Because his family was slaughtered by the Turks, he is determined to take revenge. He becomes an adviser to the Turkic Khan incognito, and beguiles the stupid Jieli Khan to learn from the changes of the Han people. As a result, the world was in chaos, and the Tang army took the opportunity to destroy it. Speaking of which, the Turks hated Zhao Deyan much more than we did! The two sides had a bloody feud, how could they let it go? Therefore, Zhao Deyan must be using Tiele this time. With your own hands, completely destroy the Turks!"
The Beyegu tribe was weak among the Tiele tribes, and they always followed Xue Yantuo's lead. Qu Lishi was also very good at maneuvering the camp. When he saw Dadu, he had the intention of sending troops to seize Xiang instead of the original plan of coercion. In order to achieve the plan of peace with the Tang Dynasty, Dingxiang continued to follow the meaning of Dadu Shi...
Sure enough, after hearing this, Da Duzhu's face looked much better.
"Fart! You old guy is useless except for flattering! Not to mention the Tang garrison in Mayi City, the Youwu Guards have already arrived in the city, and the Youtun Guards are on the way. Both of these guards are members of the Tang Army. The best of them, the two guards add up to 70,000 to 80,000 troops and horses. If they suddenly appear when we are attacking Dingxiang, we will be at a loss to advance and retreat, and it will be too late to regret it!"
Puguduo glared angrily and cursed loudly.
Qu Lishi's face turned red and he yelled angrily: "How presumptuous! You little brat spoke rudely, and your father wouldn't dare to talk to me like that here! The Han people also say, 'Victory is won by righteousness and harmony'. That year, Li Jing was defeated by thousands of strange attacks." Turks, if everyone is as timid as you and afraid of this and that, the Turks are still strong and strong, and we will still suffer on the Great Moraine! Which battle is guaranteed? It is precisely because of the risks that the rewards will be huge!"
…
The two of them were quarreling endlessly, and people watching the excitement joined in from time to time, and the atmosphere was full of excitement for a while.
Dadushu sat in the main seat with a gloomy face, staring fiercely at Puguduo and others with a pair of wild wolf-like eyes.
Dare to make such unscrupulous noises in the big tent, it is obvious that he, the second prince of Xue Yantuo, was not taken seriously at all. The prestige he generously established was not enough to make these tribal leaders keep silent and follow him loyally.
It is precisely this that makes Da Du Design more determined...
Only by capturing Dingxiang and occupying the vast grassland of Baidao will his magnanimous prestige gradually rise, surpassing his brother Bazhuo in one fell swoop and becoming a strong contender for Xue Yantuo's next khan!
Holding back the anger in his heart, he glanced sideways at a bearded, stocky man next to him and asked, "Brother, what do you think?"
This big man is the nephew of Yinan Khan and the cousin of Da Dushe. He is brave, good at fighting and resourceful. He is highly valued by Yinan Khan and has high prestige among the Xueyantuo tribes.
Tuo Mozhi stroked his chin and beard, and said slowly: "In my opinion, why bother arguing? Just prepare to break camp while sending scouts to Mayi City to find out the truth. If it is as Zhao Deyan said, Youwuwei We are unable to attack and the Youtun Guards have not yet arrived, so we can immediately attack Dingxiang and capture it with lightning speed, and then go back to discuss with Datang. If what Zhao Deyan said is false, we can further intimidate Dingxiang. Xiangcheng, forcing Tang Dynasty to marry Xue Yantuo, presumably at this time, Datang Dynasty is definitely not willing to go to war with Xue Yantuo."
Xue Yantuo dared to take advantage of the severe winter to send troops to Baidaochuan to intimidate Dingxiang City. He had calculated correctly because the eastern expedition to Goguryeo had severely tilted all the country's resources to the east. He had no time to think about it, so he rushed forward and took a bite of the meat...
