Chapter 554: Take the sheep by the hand

The weather is getting hotter.

Although the Turkic soldiers and horses failed to fight a decisive battle with the Tang army, they were still fully loaded.

The only thing that made them unhappy was that the people of the steppe were slaughtered, and they couldn't bring back the people of the Tang Kingdom.

Just when Chang'an City began to develop its economy, Jieli Khan took his soldiers and horses to rush to the Turks through Fenghua Road again.

At the same time, the vassal kings of the Tang Dynasty already knew the news of the Turkic retreat.

The vassal kings were shocked.

"How can this be, Chang'an City is only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the Turkic army of 100,000 has retreated like this?"

"Could it be that Li Shimin is really like a divine help?"

"Damn, but fortunately I didn't send troops to Chang'an, otherwise the Turks would have retreated and jumped back by themselves, wouldn't they be looking for death?"

The vassal kings of all walks of life did not have King Qin, even if there were leaders of the troops, they walked very slowly, and before they reached Chang'an City, they heard the news of the Turkic retreat, and then turned back.

Some of these vassal kings were shocked, and some were happy.

And when the news reached Youzhou, Luo Yi frowned slightly, a little surprised.

"I thought that Jieli Khan was a generation of heroes, but I never thought that he would be a waste, but he was scared by Li Shimin and retreated."

Luo Yi scolded, but he was faintly worried in his heart, because now, he is basically equivalent to jumping back to Datang, maybe for a while, Datang will not do anything to him, but after Datang has taken a breath, I am afraid that he will not spare him.

The Turks did not lose both sides with the Tang Dynasty, which was the most surprising and unsettling place for him.

However, the current Luo Yi is only a little worried, and he does not have that special sense of crisis.

Because, the location of their Youzhou is too special, first of all, it is not easy for Datang to capture them, and secondly, he can ask the Turks for a meeting at any time, it is not easy to survive in the cracks, but sometimes it is also easy, as long as you put down your subordinates and curry favor with one of them.

He has a heavy army in his hands, and for the time being, no one dares to offend him, right?

When Luo Yi was thinking like this, Jieli Khan's soldiers and horses had already walked through Fenghua Road and passed by a small town on the border of Youzhou.

The town is in the far north, and it is not prosperous, with only more than 1,000 households, and they did not panic when they learned that the Turks were passing by.

The Tang Dynasty has already had a Weishui alliance with the Turks, and the Turks will not do anything to them.

It's just that when Jieli Khan and the others passed by the village, Jieli Khan's eyes burst out with a fierce murderous aura.

"Someone, take all the people of this town captive to me."

When Jieli Khan said this, the tribal leaders glanced at each other, and then without hesitation, they rushed in with their soldiers and horses.

Next to Jieli Khan, a courtier frowned slightly, and said: "Your Majesty Khan, this is the people of the Tang Dynasty, we have a Weishui alliance with the Tang Dynasty, and we are only afraid of ...... if we plunder their people like this."

"Afraid of what?" Jieli Khan's tone was very cold, and the murderous aura in his eyes became more and more intense, and then he said: "If it weren't for Luo Yi's two-sided currying favor and magnifying Tang's soldiers and horses into my grassland, how could my Turkic people be slaughtered, I just kidnapped the people of a small town with him, and he was already very cheap." ”

Jieli Khan stopped after speaking, and had no intention of continuing, and the courtiers next to him wanted to speak and stopped, and after repeatedly, he still chose to shut up.

The town was noisy, and around dusk, calm finally returned.

The town was blown by a hot wind, and a smell of blood could be faintly smelled, among the people of the Tang Dynasty, there were some who were unyielding, and in the face of such people, the Turkic choice has always been direct, kill.

The wind is getting hotter.

Youzhou, Yanwangfu.

As soon as it was dawn, one of the guards hurried over.

"Lord, it's not good, it's not good to ...... big thing"

The guard was anxious, and was running and falling to the ground, Luo Yi came out of the house, saw the guard like this, couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Why are you so flustered?" ”

"Lord, Turkic...... The Turkic soldiers and horses have taken the people of a town on the border of our Youzhou region captive, and there is not a single one left, not a single one left. ”

Hearing the news, Luo Yi's whole face became very ugly.

"Damn, how can this be, I, Luo Yi, let them into Fenghua Dao, and they will take revenge and plunder the king's people?"

Luo Yi was a little furious, he felt that Jieli Khan was too unsophisticated, he helped the Turks, and the Turks treated them like this, and he even felt that Jieli Khan was a little incompetent.

didn't dare to fight with Li Shimin, and the people who robbed it were finally returned to Li Shimin, but when he passed by Youzhou, he came to bully him.

"Jieli Khan!" Luo Yi bit his lip and said this, and at this time, the guard said: "Lord Wang, on the Turkic steppe, some time ago, a Tang army appeared, wantonly slaughtering the Turkic people on the grassland, they are afraid that it is the Turkic soldiers and horses who returned through Fenghua Road some time ago, they are pretending to be the Tang army." ”

Speaking of this, the guard glanced up at Luo Yi slightly, Luo Yi's expression was moved, he was very shocked, the previous soldiers and horses, he always thought it was a Turkic soldier and horse, but he never thought that it was Tang Jun pretending.

If this is the case, I am afraid that it was his own negligence that led to the massacre of the people in the Turkic steppe, so Jieli Khan was naturally full of hatred for him.

It is not surprising that he had taken his people captive.

After understanding this, Luo Yi walked back and forth in front of the door, the weather was already hot, his forehead was full of sweat, but his heart was cold.

Now, he has not only offended Datang, but also offended the Turks, how can this be good?

originally wanted to curry favor with one side and contain one side, but now it has become like this.

This time, Luo Yi was really worried, he was afraid that if Datang did something to him, the Turks would stand by and watch him because of what happened before.

In that case, although he has a heavy army, he is afraid that he is not an opponent of the Tang Army.

"Lord Wang, the Turks have taken my people captive in Youzhou, do you want to send troops to ask for it?"

In the end, they are from the Tang Dynasty, and it seems to make sense to go and ask for it, and this also echoes the temper of their prince, but after Luo Yi heard it, he frowned and shouted: "What do you want?" That's it. ”

Luo Yi was very angry, and the scolding made the guard's heart tremble, and the guard looked aggrieved, he didn't know where he was wrong, the Turks killed his people, go and ask for an explanation, and get those people back, what's wrong?

But seeing Luo Yi like this, the guard didn't dare to say much, and he was about to retreat.

But at this time, Luo Yi suddenly stopped him again: "Write this matter down and report it to the imperial court." ”
