"The Great Khan."

Over there, Li Jing was leading people to clear the royal court of the Turks, and Wang Xiao, who had nothing to do, was squatting beside Jieli to kill time.

In the modern world, armies can be thrown out of command and thrown into chaos when they are attacked by surprise. Not to mention now.

Li Jing's side was very smooth, the Turks who lost their head and were raided, they couldn't even organize decent resistance at all, and the next thing was to clear the field later.

Wang Xiao squatted beside Jieli, looked at his burly and strong body, and asked curiously, "Excuse me, have you ever drilled a mouse hole?" ”

In the record about Jieli, it is said that when he escaped, he was chased by heaven and earth, and there was no way to enter the ground, and he got into a mouse hole or a hole to escape.

Looking at his burly figure, the crocodile hole can't be drilled.

Jieli looked up at him, his eyes showing admiration, "You are a hero." ”

"It's up to you to say that." Liu Bo on the side also squatted down, "Master Hou can capture you alive from thousands of troops, of course you are a hero." ”

Wang Xiao looked at him with some surprise: "Do you know Turkic dialect?" ”

When he spoke to Jieli, he spoke Turkic, but he didn't expect Liu Bo to understand it.

"Oh. I remember, you do say. You can understand it when you were in Mayi before. ”

"The last general is stationed here all the year round, and he often deals with these Turks." Liu Bo respectfully saluted Wang Xiao.

Infiltrate the enemy camp alone and capture the enemy chieftain. This kind of thing is simply a legendary story for these Tang Dynasty soldiers.

Now I see it with my own eyes, and everyone is very respectful.

Wang Xiao patted Liu Bo on the shoulder, "You are the cornerstone of Datang." It is precisely because of you who are moving forward on the frontier that the people of Datang live and work in peace and contentment. ”

Liu Bo and the Tang Army soldiers who were guarding Jieli around him had red eyes.

Who wants to be stationed on the frontier all year round, who wants to lie in the wind and snow. Now with Wang Xiao's recognition, I suddenly feel that the hardships I have endured over the years are worth it.

After praising the soldiers of the Tang Army, Wang Xiao's attention fell back on Jieli.

"Great Khan, let's work together."

Obviously his legs were trembling in fear, but Jieli still held his head high and wanted to maintain his khan's dignity, "What's the matter?" You're going to let me go? ”

"Don't talk about this kind of joke. Let's get serious and talk about business. ”

Wang Xiao raised his hand with a smile and patted Jieli's mighty face, he felt that this face full of beards was a little imaginary with Li Er, so he slapped it a few more times.

"In the name of your Great Khan, you call on the tribes of the steppe to surrender. How about I help you intercede with Your Majesty to spare your life, and then give you a chance to buy shares and do business? ”

The vast majority of the people of the Tang Dynasty are illiterate, but the people on the grassland are even more foolish people who don't even know anything about etiquette, righteousness and shame.

Jie Li Bian's self can punch the North Sea Devil and kick the Nanshan Monster.

Singing makes wolves bow down, and roaring makes goshawks fall.

Raise your hand to let go of the fiercest horse on the prairie, and kick the strongest bull on the prairie with a kick.

This kind of story that modern people will laugh until their stomachs hurt when they see it, but the people on the grassland are convinced.

Therefore, Jieli is still very influential and appealing on the grassland.

If he can take the initiative to surrender and help recruit him, the role he will play is comparable to that of tens of thousands of troops.

Don't look at Jieli's mighty appearance, but in fact, he is a sensitive and fragile man at heart.

If he really had the backbone and courage, he could die in battle or kill himself. How could he go to Chang'an City to perform a dance for Li Shimin. It's not because I'm afraid of death.

However, at this time, Jieli still wanted to show his spirit as a grassland hero in front of Wang Xiao.

He puffed up his chest and made a heroic gesture, "I am the goshawk of the grassland, when I soar into the blue sky." I will never surrender to anyone. ”

"I can see a goshawk like you." Wang Xiao stretched out his hand and grabbed one of Jieli's fingers, "They have more backbone than you." ”

'Click! ’

"Whew~"

Jieli, who didn't change his face before and said that he was a goshawk, rolled his eyes and turned into a hungry wolf ghost and screamed.

"Let man be self-aware." Wang Xiao grabbed his second finger, "You have to recognize your current identity first." ”

'Click! ’

'Whew~'

"You see, it's a war right now." Wang Xiao changed his hand and held the fingers of his other hand in Jieli's frightened gaze, "The sword and gun have no eyes, if you die here, as long as the head level is actually okay." Maybe the credit is even greater. ”

"I listen to you! Do whatever you say! "Ten fingers connected to the heart, the heart-wrenching Jieli can't stand it anymore.

'Click! ’

'Whew~'

"I've already answered!" Jieli was going crazy, and he had obviously agreed.

Wang Xiao smiled kindly and spread his hand, "I'm sorry, I'm used to it." ”

With Jieli's help, the resistance of the Eastern Turkic court was quickly quelled.

Originally, Li Jing was ready to withdraw his troops after taking the benefits, but when he learned that Wang Xiao persuaded Jieli to help ambush the surrounding tribes, he immediately changed his mind.

After sending fast horses to Chang'an City to report the victory, and at the same time ordering the Tang army stationed in Mayi to leave part of the defenders, the whole army immediately drove over.

After Wang Xiao handed over Jieli to Li Jing, he followed the messenger to Mayi. Organized

The huge caravan he brought with him loaded a large number of materials in Mayi City and sent them all the way to Dingxiang in the wind and snow.

Without these supplies, Li Jing's army could not withstand the terrible cold on the grassland.

When the Tang army was stationed in the city, there were houses and walls to protect from the cold wind, and wood to burn the fire for warmth.

But the cold wind howling on this prairie is only cowhide tents. As for heating or something, it's all about living with the animals to keep warm.

It is said that they have a smell on their bodies, how can there be no smell in such a life.

There are only a few sparse trees and shrubs on the grassland, where can this little thing support the heating requirements of more than 10,000 Tang troops in a winter.

Wang Xiao brought a lot of fire oil in the supplies, and he also brought all the wood in Mayi City. It's still not enough.

In order to be able to fight the Eastern Turks as much as possible, Li Jing was reluctant to retreat and wanted to continue to sweep the surrounding tribes.

Although doing so would result in a lot of frostbite, he was more willing to accept it than strategy.

"General." Wang Xiao brought the caravan to the royal court of Jieli again, and he introduced to Li Jing the young people he had brought to study medicine: "These people all know how to surgical, and they can be treated for injuries and illnesses in the army." ”

It's said to be tall, surgical or something.

In fact, it is the most basic debridement and suture, plus the amputation to treat frostbite and remove the sores or something.

The wound medicine in the Tang Army is lime powder, and the effect of this thing is not much stronger than grabbing the soil in Wang Xiao's opinion.

Wang Xiao went to Zhongnan Mountain, and when he was scared of the wild beasts running around, he also found Sun Simiao.

The two of them discussed together, and then started to prepare a new wound medicine.

This thing can also be mixed with high-quality medicine, and the kind that works very well. But if you want to use it as a military, then you can't. The main reason is the cost and the scarcity of raw materials.

To find blending from popular raw materials, it is really not something that ordinary people can do.

watched the treatment of injuries and illnesses on the spot, and Li Jing immediately incorporated these young people brought by Wang Xiao into the army and became the officially organized Tang Army.

Li Jing's army continued to attack, sweeping the grassland according to the information provided by Jieli and the captives.

One tribe after another was defeated. The tribes that dared to resist were directly destroyed, and those who were willing to obey Jieli's orders to surrender were taken away and resettled. The entire Eastern Turks were in the midst of collapse.

But as the weather gets colder, the snow gets thicker. The actions of the Don Army became more and more difficult.

The most important thing is the lack of shelter from the cold and wind.

The cold wind of winter on the grassland is really as terrible as a knife.

Tang Jun is also not used to living in a tent with large animals for warmth, the smell can really smoke people to death.

A worried Li Jing wandered around the camp, silently calculating in his heart how many people he would lose in the spring.

The result of the calculation was difficult for him to accept, because the cold lost even more people than on the battlefield.

"What is this?"

The distraught Li Jing saw snow bags appear in the snow not far away. It looks quite neat, not like it fell in snow.

"What is this?" Li Jing asked the people around him suspiciously.

"General." Liu Bo stepped forward and saluted and said, "This is the snow house that Changle Hou led people to repair, and the inside is not only clean but also quite warm. ”

Li Jing stepped forward in surprise and walked into a snow house to take a look.

The size of the house is not large, but it is no problem to sleep a few people. And it's very clean inside, and it's really warm compared to the cold wind howling outside.

didn't say anything, Li Jing immediately ran to find Wang Xiao.

At this moment, Wang Xiao was leading those caravans to buy all kinds of loot from the hands of the Tang army soldiers.

Horses aside, the cattle and sheep are losing weight due to lack of forage, and it is estimated that they are unlikely to survive until the beginning of spring. It's just slaughtered and made into jerky.

In addition, the soldiers of the Tang Army also seized a lot of furs, medicinal herbs, utensils and other goods.

The Eastern Turks stuck on the Silk Road to collect taxes and plunder, and from time to time they would go to the Western Regions to extort and loot those small countries in the Western Regions. There are countless kinds of materials in the tribe.

These soldiers will continue to be stationed in the north, and it is useless for them to hold those fur herbs or anything.

Wang Xiao brought people over to buy it, and directly exchanged it for affordable things like copper coins and cloth.

Moreover, Wang Xiao also promised that the soldiers would leave detailed addresses, and when they returned to Guanzhong, they would send copper coins and cloth directly to their homes.

There was nothing to say, the soldiers of the Tang army eagerly exchanged their loot for goods, and then entrusted the caravan to bring it back.

This trick is similar to the empty glove white wolf, buying a mountain of goods at a price well below the market price.

So many things were brought back to Chang'an City to be sold, and the profits were doubled, all of which looked down on the people sent by these various firms.

The caravan formed by Wang Xiao can be regarded as making a lot of money this time.

"This is the war money. But only if you win. ”

Li Jing also got the skills of how to build a snow house very smoothly, which was a big problem for the Tang Army.

Bustling on the grassland to spend a cold winter, the time came to the spring of the third year of Zhenguan.

When the heavy snow melted, Wang Xiao took a caravan full of various supplies and escorted Jieli, who had gained a lot of weight, south to return to Guanzhong.
