Now there is only one explanation for those tribes helping Erdeni, and that is that the Western Turks launched a war against Xueyantuo.
It can be said that the Qingge tribe sacrificed their lives for Xue Yantuo. In order to win people's hearts, Yi Nan could not ignore the remaining members of their tribe.
Even if you can't rebuild the tribe, you can still join another tribe. Although you will be looked down upon, it is better than being a slave.
A trace of hesitation flashed across Su Rongzabu's face. The father-son relationship among nomads was very indifferent, and he did not have deep feelings for Qingge. The reason why he was unwilling to leave was that he felt there was little chance.
With a group of children, how could they outrun the adults on the other side?
However, this was also an opportunity. If the other party came after him, he could leave the children behind and run away.
Thinking of this, Su Rongzabu no longer hesitated and said: "Abba, take care."
After saying that, he took his men with him and withdrew from the battlefield, heading towards the tribe.
"Kill for the Qingge tribe." The Qingge leader wanted to buy time for Surongzabu to retreat.
Erdeni did not leave the station in person, but stood behind and watched. When he saw Surongzab leading some of his people out of the battlefield, he quickly said: "Quickly separate some people to pursue them. We must not let them escape."
"Yes." Someone immediately took the order to pursue him.
When the Qingge leader saw this, he quickly sent some people to resist. He didn't expect to be able to stop him, he just hoped to delay it for a while and buy Su Rongzabu some time.
Half an hour later, all the young men of the Qingge tribe were killed in battle.
Erdeni took the sword from the Qinge tribe leader and hung it on his waist proudly.
Although it is not a good knife, it is his trophy.
Su Rongzabu returned to the tribe, directly selected more than 200 children around ten years old, ignored the crying women, and left the tribe with the remaining 200 or so cavalry.
Just a few dozen miles after leaving the tribe, the sound of horse hooves could be heard behind.
Su Rongzabu looked back and saw that there were more than a thousand enemies chasing him.
"Send out a hundred people and stop them." Su Rongzabu ordered.
One hundred people turned back to face the enemy with determination to die.
Su Rongzabu took the remaining people and continued running.
Su Rongzabu knew very well that a hundred people would not be able to resist for long, and they would be overtaken sooner or later.
Thinking of this, Su Rongzabu said to his confidants: "They will catch up again in a while. Let's speed up and ignore those children."
The confidant looked at Su Rongzabu in shock and said: "Young leader, these children are the future of our tribe, how can we abandon them?"
Another thing he didn't mention was that his children were among them.
Ask him to abandon his child, he can't do it.
Now that Su Rongzabu is able to abandon those children in order to survive, will he abandon them if he is caught up again?
"Do you think you can run away with these children? If we all die in battle, the Qingge tribe will really be destroyed." Su Rongzabu said angrily.
The confidant understood that what Su Rongzabu said was right, but it was difficult for him to accept it: "Young leader, I can't do this order of yours. If you are afraid of death, young leader, just leave by yourself."
Su Rongzabu's eyes flashed with murderous intent and he said: "You dare to disobey my order?"
The confidants were aware of Surongzabu's murderous intention and understood that even if he relented now and did as Surongzabu said, Surongzabu would not let him go afterwards.
Thinking of this, a cruel look flashed in the eyes of his confidant, and he said loudly: "It's not good, the young leader wants to abandon those young people, and the only son has escaped."
"What? Young leader can't do this. These people are the fire of our tribe. Without them, our tribe will really perish."
"Yes, we can't abandon them."
Half of these teenagers are the children of these cavalrymen.
People are selfish, and the number of people they can take away is limited, so naturally they give priority to taking away their own sons.
"Young leader, the Sangren tribe is more than two hundred miles away. It is a large tribe. These people will definitely retreat."
Su Rongzabu wanted to kill that confidant, but if he did it at this time, it would probably cause a mutiny.
As for the Sangren tribe those people were talking about, he had no hope at all. There were still more than two hundred miles left, and at the speed of the pursuers, he was overtaken before he could reach them.
Su Rongzabu gritted his teeth and pinched the horse's belly with both feet, causing the horse's speed to speed up a bit.
His horse was originally stronger than those of the cavalry. He had deliberately suppressed them before, but now he had left these people far behind in a short time after letting go of the suppression.
"Young leader."
"Young leader."
Su Rongzabu ignored the shouts of those people. After a while, these shouts could no longer be heard.
…
"General, the whistleblower said there is a man coming this way on horseback."
Qin Huaidao was stunned and said: "Is that person coming towards us? Or is he passing by?"
The place where he hid was specially chosen to be a place with little grass and water. He had been here for so long and no one had come here at all.
How can we not be surprised when we suddenly hear someone coming?
"Back to General, that man did not hide his whereabouts. He must have been passing by," said the soldier who reported the news.
Qin Huaidao frowned slightly. There were no other tribes around this place, and it was not a necessary road. How could anyone pass by.
"Whether they are passing by or not, arrest them first and ask them. If they are just passing by, deal with them." Qin Huaidao said.
No matter what, their whereabouts must not be leaked. They are just Turks. If they are killed, they will be killed.
"Yes." The soldier who sent the message quickly retreated.
Around tea time, a team leader under Qin Huaidao came back with two soldiers holding down a tied-up man.
This man's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and it looked like he had suffered a lot.
"General, this man is said to be Su Rongzabu, the young leader of the Qingge tribe." the team leader said.
"From the Qingge tribe? How come you are here?" Qin Huaidao asked.
"Are you Han Chinese?" Su Rongzabu said in surprise.
Yes, this person was Su Rongzabu. After he left alone, he was worried about being caught up, so he changed a way.
The grassland is so vast, it's not easy to find someone. As expected, those people are not chasing him.
But as the sky turned dark, Su Rongzabu no longer knew where he had gone.
Just when he was about to stop and rest, several people suddenly appeared around him.
The former Su Rongzabu would not have been caught so easily.
But he had experienced a big battle first and then ran for so long. He was exhausted long ago and was no match for those soldiers.
Those people were dressed in Turkic clothes, and although they spoke fluent Chinese, Su Rongzabu didn't think much about it.
Turks are not a single ethnic group, but are composed of many ethnic groups, but the dominant ones are Turks.
So the language is very complex, and there are many people who speak Chinese, and he himself can speak it.
After suffering a little pain, Surongzab immediately revealed his identity.
In his opinion, everyone here belongs to Xue Yantuo's tribe, and it would not be difficult for him to reveal his identity.
But when the squad leader called General Qin Huaidao, he realized that Turks would not call him that, only people from the Tang Dynasty would.
