The Shule people were abandoned.

After more careful investigation, and news from the Shang Gang camel caravan, the Pei clan of the Shule royal family has been lobbying the Shule clan to ask for surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

However, the queen of King Shule was Turkic, and the Turks also used the low-cost political method of "harmony". The Turks were able to brutally control the Western Regions and the tribal states in the middle of the river with very little force.

Shule was just a member of the Turkic army of "peace and pro".

"Oh? So even the Turkic Tutun ran away? ”

"In addition to the five hundred controls of the king and queen of Shule, only the Turkic merchants remain."

"The first to come out seems to be a Turkic merchant?"

"Their caravan is relatively small, and if they don't have the banners of the China Resources or Dahe Workshop, it is difficult for them to enter Dunhuang from Xizhou and Yizhou. Now that all the people in the south have fallen into the Tang Dynasty, they naturally want to rely on people even more. ”

"My brother is right, businessmen have no home."

Cheng Chubi, who sighed with emotion, was silent for a while, as if he was thinking, for a long time, "For a while, I'm afraid that the Shule people won't make a strategy." Whether it is war or surrender, it is not uncommon for such a country with internal and external troubles to drag on for a year and a half. In this way, it will be of great benefit to our army. ”

"But ......"

As the captain of the "Xiaoyong Regiment", which is mainly infantry, Li Jiaxin, who has been mixed under Cheng Chubi for two years, was a little hesitant, "Sima, building a city in the field is already a waste of food. What's more, at the turn of winter and spring, the number is even more terrifying. You can't always stay here in Chishui, you have to do something. ”

"If you want to make up for it, it's not time yet."

Cheng Chubi comforted again, "You are recommended by your brother, and I won't hide it from you, this battle is 'bullying the weak'." The army pressed the border, stood without a fight, and waited for the internal strife in Shule, and it was defeated. At that time, this land in the west will be like a concubine. ”

As a fighting man who was relocated from the local military government to the Western Army as a captain, Li Jiaxin is naturally not a brainless person. After a little combing, he knew that Cheng Chubi was trying to grind the Shule people to death.

More importantly, if the Shule people are a false shot, in fact, the Turks will come back at any time, then the advantage of confrontation and fortification is that they can fight at any time to "encircle and send reinforcements". With the existing cavalry strength of the Tang Army, it will not be a rout battle at all, it will only be a total annihilation, and it can only be a total annihilation.

Because for the caravan of the goodwill Western Army, if it is not completely annihilated, it will not be able to quickly return to the capital, and it will take more than a year to return to the capital.

"I understand when I go down, thanks to Cheng Gong's appeasement, I will be dead when I go down, and I will not give up!"

"In winter and spring, the Shule people are short of food, and the 'Brave Regiment' should be used well."

"I won't let Cheng Gong down!"

Li Jiaxin bowed down and retired, and she had a plan in her heart.

returned to the camp, found the old subordinates who came from Jingchu, and after giving some orders, within a few days, outside the station of the "Xiaoyong Regiment", there was a small village.

Although the stockade communicated with the station, it needed to pass through several trenches. The snow was heavy, and it concealed the arrangement during the period, even if you visited the stockade, you could not see the end.

"Lao Li, how did you see the people of the Dunhuang camel caravan here?"

An Bo heard that Li Jiaxin's station had a new arrangement, so he took his personal guards and rode over to have a look.

"Over there."

Following the direction pointed by Li Jiaxin, An Bo looked from afar, but was stunned: "How can there still be people from Shule Wangcheng?" ”

"Not the city gates."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, An Bo immediately picked up the binoculars, and when he entered his eyes, he saw that there seemed to be a smaller hole on the side of the already low city wall, and from time to time thin people came out of it. Most of them were children and women, and although they were in rags, they were hungry and thin, and it could be seen that they had not eaten enough for a long time.

"Dog hole?"

"Yes, this dog hole in the southeast corner has been picked up. The Shule soldiers who guarded the corner also came out of these dog holes. ”

"What are you doing out there?"

"Food."

"What?!" An Bo was furious, "Do you know that this is a capital enemy-"

"Don't be impatient, you have an order from Sima, this is a strategy."

"Strategy?"

"Brother Mo is in a hurry, let's wait and see."

An Bo originally wanted to go to the camp immediately and ask Cheng Chubi. But if you think about it carefully, even if the stockade in front of you is full of food, it can't feed many people. Moreover, when most of the people who come out are women and children, how much food can they carry?

"Captain, want to take a look?"

One of the guards asked quietly.

"Check it out."

Along the trench road, stepping on the ice slag and snow, it was not long before I came to the strange and simple stockade. As soon as I entered, I smelled a terrible smell, and the shouts of the merchants rang out from time to time, and there were also voices of quarrels, and there were even more staccato sobs in the corner.

"Happy New Year, big brother and sister-"

Inside a fence, an awkward sound was suddenly heard, causing the guards beside An Bo to instinctively raise their horizontal knives.

At this moment, the entire village fell silent, and a pair of eyes stared at An Bo and the others in horror.

"Hmm."

Raising his hand, An Bo motioned for the guards to put away their knives, and when the guards put the horizontal knives into their sheaths, the noise that had been suppressed resounded around them.

"Who taught you Chinese."

The already heavy Shule accent, coupled with the strange Hetao tone, makes this Chinese dialect sound more and more weird.

"Taiwei Rongyu, this is Lang Jun from Hetao playing tricks on people, these bastards think this is shouting and selling themselves."

"Self-selling?"

"Back to Taiwei's words, these are Shule pariahs, and the food in the city has long been looted, so how can they have their share. In order to survive, he called the women and children in the seller to save his life. ”

"Look, it's really not like Shule's noble species."

These low-level miscellaneous Hu are different from the Han people of the Shule royal family, and the source is quite mixed, and the appearance is the common Hu appearance of Chang'an people. It's a bit like a Persian, but not as dense as the Persians.

"Tai Wei, it's also prosperous right now, whether it's a half-old child or a woman, it's cheap. The little one came by chance yesterday, and he started with a pair of blue eyes, if the captain didn't give up, he could take it for recreation......"

"It doesn't have to be! In the barracks, there is no play. ”

"Yes, yes, little stupidity! I actually forgot the duties of the captain, and the little one really deserves to die, and the sin deserves to die......"

As he spoke, the merchant who answered was there slapping himself.

An Bo didn't say much, and after inspecting it, he found that most of the Shule people who came here were ordinary people in the market, and he suddenly secretly said in his heart: I'm afraid that the Shule people will have civil strife sooner or later.

There are already internal and external troubles, and there are Chinese people running out, this is not dead, is there still heavenly reason?

"Let's go back."

After reading it, An Bo beckoned his subordinates and went back to the camp.
