Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

"The two elder brothers will take the mountain back depending on the situation."

"The highest price is [-]% of what they paid for the mountain."

"Low, give [-]% or [-]%."

"No more."

"Anyway, if they want to sell it, they can sell it, and if they don't want to sell it, they will continue to rot in their hands."

"In my estimation, as long as my husband doesn't take the initiative to return the tea Yin, the imperial court and His Majesty will never interfere in this business within ten years."

"We have plenty of time to spend with them."

……

On the other side, far away in the Turkic grasslands.

Zhi Shi Si Li, Qi Bi He Li, Ashina Sheer, and Yi Shi Yi Nan, the leader of Xue Yantuo's tribe, fled back in embarrassment all the way from Chang'an City.

As well as Tuli Khan's son, Ashina Horodul and others, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the previous battle, Huihe, Bayegu, Tongluo and other tribes were directly wiped out by Youzhou Xuanjia Army led by Li Qiu.

Today, the remaining women and livestock of these tribes can only be divided and annexed by other tribes.

At the beginning, when they fled back in embarrassment, there were about [-] people.

But the rapid march along the way and the harassment of the Tang State Army all the way, coupled with the death of wounded soldiers and illness.

In the end, more than 3 people returned to the grassland.

Among them, there are 2 people left in the Turkic tribe, 1 people in the Xue Yantuo tribe, and the rest are small tribes such as Tiele, Khitan, and Xi.

At this time, Tuli Khan's son, Ashina Heluohu, had already felt the faint threat from Yi Shiyi Nan, Zhi Shi Si Li, Qi Bi He Li and others.

So he also found an opportunity and said directly to everyone: "The leader of the barbarians, General Zhishisili."

"Now my father Khan has just died tragically at the hands of the Tang general, and all the tribes in my grassland have also suffered heavy casualties."

"For the rest of the day, everyone will go back to their own pastures."

"Let's rest the population, sheep, and horses."

"I won't keep you here anymore."

Hearing his words, Yi Shiyi Nan couldn't help frowning, "According to the meaning of the leader of Ashina Horo, is he going to drive us away?"

"I remember when Tuli Khan was still there, he swore an oath to the grassland god in front of all the grassland tribes."

"It is said that if he dies in battle, I, Yi Shiyi, will be the Khan of all the tribes in the grassland."

"Ashina Heluoful you are also present, you have to admit it?"

For his rhetoric, Ashina Horo has already had a countermeasure in mind.

So he snorted softly, and responded with firm and tough eyes, "Yi Shiyi Nan, what Father Khan said was in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, on the battlefield."

"Now we have been defeated and returned to the grassland, and we have lost the ability to fight again for at least a few decades."

"Naturally, there is no need for any grassland allies."

"The most important thing right now is to return to their pastures and recuperate."

"Instead of fighting for some leader again."

Chapter 419 Grassland, Great Change

Hearing what Ashina Horodul said, Yi Shiyi Nan couldn't help sneering, "Ashina Horodul, what you said is wrong."

"Right now, our grassland allied forces have just been defeated, and their Datang has already regarded us as mortal enemies."

"How could you miss this great opportunity for nothing?"

"At this time, I am afraid that the army of the Tang Dynasty is already on its way to attack the tribes in our grassland."

"If it's true as you said, the grassland allies we gathered together with great difficulty will be scattered again."

"Wouldn't that be in Tang Jun's arms, and it would be easier for them to break through and kill them one by one."

"So, the closer we get to this dangerous time, the more we have to unite all the tribes in the grassland."

"If you, the leader of Ashina Horo, have any objections, you can wait until winter, when the tribes of our grasslands are truly safe, and then mention the matter of dispersal."

After hearing Yi Shiyinan's words, Ashina Heluofu couldn't help but sneered in his heart.

Right now, he has seriously lacked control over his tribe and army.

Almost all of his father, as well as the backbone of his family who supported him the most, died tragically in the previous battle.

If it is true as Yi Shiyinan suggested, first recognize him as the khan of the grassland tribe.

First of all, I lost the face of the Turkic tribe, and more importantly, I am afraid that I will completely lose control of my tribe by then.

This kind of thing has already touched the bottom line, and it cannot be promised anyway.

So, he looked at Yi Shi Yi Nan and the others and said, "I'm sorry, Chief Yi Nan, I'm afraid I can't agree with what you said."

"After this battle, although the Tang army won, they only had a maximum of 3 or [-] people left."

"At the same time, they also have too much to do."

"With Tang people's temperament, I'm afraid it's good enough if we don't guard against another attack from our grassland army. How can we come to our grassland to die on our own initiative?"

"I have made up my mind. For the time being, my Turks will not join the Allied Forces of the Grassland."

"As for the pastures currently occupied by the various tribes, anyway, our Turkic people have suffered heavy casualties, so I, Ashina Horodul, will give it to everyone."

Seeing that he was about to turn around and leave, he lost his mind and finally spoke up.

"The leader of Ashina Horo, I also think that the leader of Yishiyinan is right."

"The current general situation is too unfavorable for my grassland tribe."

"Until it is absolutely safe, we should not separate."

Not only did he lose his mind, but even Qibi Heli and Ashinasheer stood up at the same time.

Openly expressed his support for Yi Shiyi Nan.

These people are all the marshals, generals, and main generals who hold great power of the grassland allied forces.

And all of them are foreigners, none of them belong to Turkic, and they are really on the side of Turkic interests.

In this war, the Turkic Khan died in battle, and countless Turkic backbones died in battle.

But this group of cunning and treacherous foreigners all survived.

It can also be said that from the beginning to the end, they were deeply guarded against Tuli Khan.

As in the past, Ashina Heluoful still supported his father incomparably in his heart, boldly using truly talented and capable ministers.

The tribes of the grassland are also blindly gentle, just to achieve the ultimate goal.

Once upon a time, Ashina Horo, together with his father, laughed at and belittled Zeng Jieli Khan's tyranny.

But until now, Ashina Heluoful's heart is full of remorse and bitterness.

It was only then that he truly understood that Jieli Khan's tyranny was right.

In the grassland, only the most ferocious wolf pack can dominate a side.

Blindly being gentle can only make oneself weak and eventually become the prey of others.

"The power to lose one's mind, Qibi Heli, Ashinasheer."

"You were all my father Khan's most valued and most valued people."

"Why do you even have to follow Yi Shiyinan now, can't you bully me Turk instead?"

Zhi lost his mind and smiled, "Where did the leader of the Ashina Hero falcons say that?"

"I will never forget the kindness Tuli Khan once showed us."

"But what I want to talk about now is the life and death of my entire grassland tribe, not the friendship of the past."

"That's why I still implore the leader of Ashina Horudul to put the overall situation first and obey Tuli Khan's legacy first."

"Respect the leader of Yi Shiyi as Khan."

"And with Yi Shiyi male Khan as the core, commanding all the tribes in our grassland, especially the army."

"As for the future, we can also talk about it later."

Hearing this, Ashina Horo's eyes were full of anger.

Now that the other side has said everything so clearly, it's time to tear your face apart.

Ever since, Ashina Heluoful's eyes were sharp, and he stopped drinking.

"I lost my mind!"

"You should die of this heart."

"I am a dignified Turk, how can I respectfully call a little foreigner Xue Yantuo Khan?!"

"Not to mention handing over our people and army to foreigners!"

"I have made up my mind, there is no need to discuss it again!"

After finishing speaking, Ashina Heluoful turned around and was about to leave.

This time he came to have a showdown with Yi Shiyi Nan, Zhi Shi Sili and others, and he also made careful preparations.

He also specially brought hundreds of elite followers to avoid any accidents.

At this moment, Yi Shiyinan sneered softly, "Leader Ashina Horo, since you have made up your mind, we may have to keep you for the sake of the survival of the grassland."

Hearing Yi Shiyinan's words, a flash of vigilance flashed in Ashina Heluohu's eyes.

"Yi lost the barbarians, although I have been seriously injured in this Turkic war."

"But there are still [-] warriors."

"If you provoked a war among tribes in the grassland because of your wolf ambition, then you are the one who wiped out the entire grassland!"

"Yarle, let's go!"

As he said that, Ashina Heluoful stared vigilantly at Yi Shiyi Nan, Zhi Shili and others, while holding his own waist knife, he retreated slowly.

However, what surprised Ashina Heluoful was that Yarle, one of the only remaining Turkic warriors who he carefully selected and brought over, remained motionless.

He didn't have the slightest intention to stay by his side, be vigilant together, and leave.

Afterwards, Ashina Heluoful glanced to the side with a surprised look.

But just this one glance made his heart feel cold.

Yarle, who was trusted by him, was looking at him with a stern look on his face.

The next moment, Ashina Horo, already aware of the danger, wanted to quickly leave Yarle's side.

But it was already too late, the dagger that Yarle had already prepared had been completely pierced into the body of Ashina Horodul.

Hot blood spewed out.

There was deep hatred and remorse in Ashina Horo's eyes.

Following the tragic death of Ashina Heluogu, a great change carefully planned by Zhi Shili, Qibi Heli and others also unfolded among the Turkic tribes.

Before the Tang army led by Li Jing and Li Qiu arrived, a bloody massacre had already been staged on the grassland.

Chapter 420 Three Years of Drought

Before that, Tuli Khan, as well as many cores and backbones of the clan, were there.

It's okay for Tuli to reuse Zhishenli, Qibi Heli and others.

But now, Tuli and many Turkic backbones and generals died in battle, leaving only a fledgling eagle like Ashina Horodul.

How to fight against the powerful Marshal Zhisili, General Qibi Heli, and Xue Yantuo's leader Yi Shiyinan?

At this moment, the disadvantages of Tuli's reuse of foreigners as marshals and generals are fully revealed.

Before Ashina Horo came to the showdown, it was even on the way back from this escape.
