Chapter 1275: The Covenant of Khazar
Kusilao's method was very simple, he collected the broken pottery and broken iron pieces hidden in the earthen pit, and used these things to cut the wooden stakes repeatedly. Although the rammed earth is as hard as rock, the stakes have not been cut down for a long time, and they can easily be notched.
All the people in the pit took turns to cut two of the stakes in order to cut them at the waist.
This method seems to be difficult to achieve, but it is the only way that no one has ever thought of doing so, and the Turks have not been prepared for it.
In less than the middle of the night, two wooden stakes had been cut into a deep groove. However, it is still difficult to cut the stake of the thickness of the bowl before dawn.
In order to deceive the Turks, they covered the surface of the breach with mud before the sun rose.
However, just after dawn, the Turks showed signs of moving to camp.
Many tents were put away and loaded on carts with cattle tethered. This is the movement of being ready to go at any time, and Kuth Lao's heart is very excited, if they can't all go on the road today, then their chance will come.
For this reason, Kuth Lao also consulted with the Khazars that if things really went according to their favor, it was best to make a surprise attack that night.
If you wait until the sky is completely bright and want to leave calmly, I am afraid it will not be so easy, and you will have to pay the price of human life.
These captives seemed to have been forgotten by the Turks, and the whole camp was busy and chaotic, and not a single one of them came to bring them water and food. Everyone is hungry and thirsty, and the mushy food that was once a day is hard to eat, and now there is no food and water, how can people endure it?
However, it also confirms that the Turks are moving camps, or that something is happening that is causing them to panic.
Normally, when the steppe barbarians dispose of the captives, especially when removing a large number of undisposed captives, they will starve the captives for a day or two, so that the captives have no strength and energy to resist, and they are relatively easy to manage on the road.
The bearded man, who had been battered by Kusilao, lay on the edge of the pit and observed for a while, and came to the conclusion that the Turks seemed to have encountered some terrible adversary, for they were in the process of tidying up their camp and seeing how they were going south over the mountains to the valley of the two rivers.
This is very different from the traditional mentality of the Turkic people scattered west of the river, even if they surrender to the Great Eclipse, they instinctively maintain the distance from the Great Eclipse, and choose this vast edge of Haizi as their camp, because he is not only the edge of the steppe, but also the mouth of the two great rivers that flow into Haizi, and both the grassland and the prey come to help, and they are very rich. In addition, it is also close to the hinterland of the Great Food, and you can get food supplies just by crossing the mountains.
It could be said that this camp was an excellent choice, but the Turks were uncharacteristically willing to give up completely, which meant that they must have faced an unprecedented threat.
Several Khazarians studied for a long time, but they couldn't come to a specific conclusion, where did the threat come from?
But after being silent for a long time, Kuth said:
"If nothing else, it should be the Tang army's arrival!"
"How is it possible, although the Tang people are powerful, they are also on both sides of the Green Ridge, at most it is absolutely difficult to send troops to the river and go deep into Khorasan!"
Ku Si Lao shook his head, he knew that these Khazars were closed to news, and their impression of the Tang people was still stuck in the past, thinking that they had never sent troops to the Green Mountains, but now the Tang soldiers have been reborn, and they are no longer what they used to be.
"You may not know that the army of the Tang Dynasty has conquered more than half of Tianzhu before the beginning of spring this year, and it is only a matter of time before the conquest of Khorasan is conquered!"
"Conquer Tianzhu? this, how is this possible, they have always disdained to conquer the land there......"
Strange to say, although the Tianzhu area has a large population, from Persia to Great Eclipse, and even powerful empires from the East, they are disgusted with it.
Now, when they suddenly heard that Tianzhu, which had been unattended, had been conquered by the Tang people, the Khazars were still shocked.
Ku Si Lao said coldly:
"There is nothing impossible, Tianzhu Country is rich in grain, and it will be easy for the Tang people to use it as a base to conquer the Great Food!"
The young man suddenly thought about something, and said:
"I heard that Persia has been restored, weren't the Tang people the first to conquer them?"
The bearded man was still an understanding man, and slapped the young man on the shoulder.
"The restoration of Persia is supported by the Tang people behind the scenes, I heard that they taught Abbas's old mad dog a hard lesson in Mulu City last year, there may be Tang people behind their backs, otherwise those cowardly earth rats in Persia will be Abbas's opponents!"
The young man nodded innocently and agreed with the bearded man's statement.
"Makes sense......"
Suddenly, as if he had come to his senses, he looked at Kuth Lao.
"You, you're a Persian, and you're fighting against the Great Eclipse, aren't you ......?"
At this time, everyone also understood that Kusi Lao must be a soldier of the Persian kingdom.
The bearded man's resistance and hostility towards Kusi Lao had weakened considerably, and had been replaced by curiosity.
"Can the Persian army really penetrate into the hinterland of the Great Eclipse alone?"
In his opinion, the weak and timid Persians can only stand behind the Tang people and wave their flags and shout, and it is inconceivable that they dare to go deep alone. Immediately, he shook his head again.
"Even if you go deep alone, it's not like the whole army is wiped out......"
This sentence poked at Kusilao's sore spot, like a knife stabbed into his chest, and the pain was like piercing his heart.
He and his warriors could have written a legend, but now it's a joke.
Kuth Lao was silent, and in the eyes of the Khazars, it was tantamount to acquiescence.
The bearded man stretched out his right hand to Ku Si Lao and said:
"I am Terek of the Khazar tribe, welcome you Persians, be one of us, the great Moses will guide us to the light!"
Moses was the founder of Judaism, and when he heard Terek say Moses' name, Kuth was surprised that these Khazars from the steppes actually believed in Judaism from the West.
No wonder, the big cannibals want to get rid of them quickly, it turns out that there is this reason.
Although Kusi had learned the Khazar language since he was a child, he did not know much about the remote tribes in the northern steppe, and now it seems that the Khazars are definitely a force that can be co-opted.
"It's an honor to join a group of brave warriors, and if you're out of trouble tomorrow, I hope you will consider cooperating with Persia to defeat our common enemy and drive the Great Cannibal back to the desert once and for all!"
