Chapter 108 Propaganda Offensive

The dark tide of the Tang Dynasty is surging, and the grassland is not calm.

During this period of time, there have been some rumors circulating on the grassland:

Jieli Khan was actually just a coward and a coward, who knelt down for a four-year-old boy in order to survive, and lost the face of the Great Turk, and he did not deserve to be called a steppe eagle at all;

Jieli's younger brother Ashina Bald is not a good thing, he did the case of the destruction of the Erhe Zhebu three years ago, and the purpose was just for a woman in the Erhe Zhebu;

Jieli's die-hard loyalist, Ashina Simo once drunk and fought with people, and beat a warrior of the Tuyue tribe to a disability, but the poor Tuyue tribe didn't dare to trouble him;

The eaglet of the Ashina family, Ashina Buhua is not as brave and resolute as rumored, in fact, the merits he made were all exchanged for the lives of his warriors;

The Ashina family is nominally a Turkic Khan family, but in fact it is a vampire, who only uses the Turks as nourishment and sucks blood from the Turks, but does not give back to the Turks in the slightest, and is a moth among the Turks......

......

Correspondingly, there is another rumor in the steppe:

After three days and three nights of hard fighting, the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty successfully exterminated a horse thief entrenched in a certain place, and in this war, countless heroes emerged. For example, when he was lurking, Wang Erzhu, who was accidentally burned by the fire, in order not to be discovered by the horse thief, actually forced the ninja to burn himself without saying a word, and finally the Tang Army successfully exterminated the horse thief, but the hero Wang Erzhu died heroically;

One day, on the way to patrol, the Tang Dynasty soldier Li Tiedan encountered several children of the Atibu who fell into the water, so he desperately went into the water to rescue them, but the children were rescued, but the hero Li Tiedan slept under the water forever;

Another day, the Tang Dynasty warrior Liu Dazhuan was unfortunately captured when he exterminated a group of horse thieves, and the enemy used all kinds of torture on him, trying to force him to tell the whereabouts of the Turkic villagers who were transferred by the Tang Dynasty soldiers, but until he was tortured to death, Liu Dazhuan did not spit out a word;

Another example is a Tang Army team, on the way to deliver food to the Turkic villagers, unfortunately encountered a sandstorm, and when the search and rescue team found them, the corpses of the food delivery team had been pecked by vultures, and the food was still firmly protected by them, without any loss......

......

In short, during this period of time, the mainstream of news on the grassland was to smear the Ashina family with all its might, and at the same time praise the warriors of the Tang Dynasty, which greatly changed the impression of the Turkic people on the Tang Dynasty, and they began to gradually accept the rule of the Tang Dynasty from their hearts.

To tell the truth, Li Zhen's trick is not clever, it's not that there are no smart people on the grassland who can see through it, but when it comes to saying that people are the same, if you say it three times, it will become the truth, not to mention that Datang said it more than three times. Besides, although there are smart people on the grassland, the smarter people are, the less they will expose Datang's lies, after all, exposing lies will not do them any good, but will cause them trouble, why bother?

"Your Highness, the form is very good." Li Zhen was fishing by the river, Li Jing broke over with a dossier, and said excitedly: "Your Highness, another tribe of 20,000 people has surrendered to us, and the five hundred miles radius of the ancestors is already our territory, and there is no tribe that opposes us anymore." ”

"That's a good job, so we already have a population of 500,000, right?" Li Zhen took off her sunglasses, took a sip of juice, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then you can implement the second step." ”

"Yes, the time is ripe to start." Li Jing also smiled: "Finally, I can see the power of sheep eating people in your mouth, Your Highness." ”

"You'll see." Li Zhen said with a smile.

"Minister, let's prepare." Li Jing smiled and retreated.

"Ah~ Well, huh, stop fishing, I have to go back and prepare." Li Zhen also quickly put away the fishing rod, and led a large group of people to the residence with today's harvest.

The Toude Department is a small tribe, which is inconspicuous among the tribes with many stars on the grassland, and they are not the first tribes to take refuge in the Tang Dynasty, so the patriarch of the tribe, Wu Zheren, did not expect to get anything from the Tang Dynasty, but only wanted to pay taxes to the Tang Dynasty on a regular basis like during the reign of the Ashina family, and then the Tang Dynasty did not trouble them, so it can be said that they are still very self-aware.

Today, when Wu Zheren was showing off the treasure that the Tang Dynasty had given him to several elders, a pair of eagles carved from transparent glass, a person suddenly broke in, so frightened that Wu Zheren's hands trembled, and he almost threw the glass eagle on the ground.

Carefully placing the eagle on the table, Wu Zheren turned around and scolded: "Lu Zhu, why are you so reckless? Did you know that you almost committed a great sin? ”

"Clan...... Patriarch, no...... No...... Oh no, the Tang army called. The young man named Lu Zhu may have been running too quickly, and he has been panting until now before he can catch his breath: "There are many people here, there are tens of thousands, and there are only a few dozen miles left from here, let's run." ”

"Hiccup!" When Wu Zheren heard this, he directly hiccuped in fright and twitched.

"Patriarch!"

"Patriarch!"

"Patriarch!"

“......”

There was chaos in the tent, and it was pinching people and pouring cold water, and Wu Zheren was finally rescued.

As soon as Wu Zheren woke up, he began to cry and rush to the ground: "O high wolf god, have you abandoned your children and grandchildren......

Seeing the patriarch like this, the great elder of the tribe forcibly held back the fear in his heart and proposed: "Patriarch, now is not the time to cry, let's hurry up and find a way to escape, there are so many people in Datang, we can't beat it." ”

"How do you run?" Wu Zheren wiped his tears and said with a desperate face: "Didn't you listen to Lu Zhu? The Tang army is only a few dozen miles away from us, and at such a close distance, the cavalry can rush over in less than a quarter of an hour, how far can we run in such a short time? ”

"Hey, the patriarch is right, we fight with them, even if we die, we have to pull a cushion."

"I know that the Tang people can't be trusted, patriarch, you have to take refuge in the Tang Dynasty."

"Why don't we scatter the clansmen, so that maybe someone can live and tell our clansmen about the sins of the Tang Dynasty."

"Anyway, let's run first, if you can go, it's one."

"Don't panic, maybe the Tang people are just passing by."

"Maybe it's a misunderstanding, why don't we contact Datang first."

“......”

In the chief's tent, the elders gave all kinds of advice, including hawks who wanted to fight to the death, doves who advocated peace, and centrists who advocated escape.
