Chapter Twenty-Nine: Ashnadur

Li Kuan turned to look at the person who spoke, who was the leader of the Turks: "Do you speak Chinese?" What is your name? "The identity of this Turkic leader should be unusual, before he could make these Turks give up resistance and obediently throw down their scimitars and surrender, and now they can actually speak Chinese.

You must know that the Turks are actually very proud and conceited, although they are only a small nomadic people with a population of hundreds of thousands, but they are full of a pathological national pride. The higher the status of the Turkic people, the more they are averse to the culture of the rest of the peoples. This point is obvious to both Jieli and Tuli, even Jieli can speak Chinese and recognize Chinese characters, but he has never said that he learned it himself, and has always claimed that he was born to know it. And spread widely in the steppe, deifying itself.

"My name is Ashinadur!" The Turkic leader, who was lying on the ground, replied.

"Ashina's family? Turkic royalty? Li Kuan asked in surprise, the status of this surname in the grassland is extraordinary, Ashina is a Turkic royal family, the current Khan Jieli and Tuli are both descendants of this family, and now this and Jieli must have a close relationship.

"Exactly, I am a Turkic prince! Can this little general exchange this identity for the lives of my brothers? Ashinadur lay on the ground and looked at Li Kuan with pleading eyes, after he saw Li Kuan kill two people in a row and scare the third person to death, he knew that this young and excessively young Tang general was going to be killed, which made him feel that he had harmed these Turkic warriors who trusted him, if he hadn't ordered him to surrender. If you fight with these Tang soldiers, maybe there is still a possibility of breaking through, but now you can only wait to be slaughtered. So he did not hesitate to reveal his identity. Just to help these people win a glimmer of hope for survival.

"Turkic princes? Jieli's son? Li Kuan asked again.

"It's not...... Ashina's family is a Turkic royal family, and only the best young people in this family can become princes, and Jieli's sons are also among them, so although I am a Turkic prince, I am not the son of Jieli! Ashinadur replied, seemingly disdainful of Jieli's son.

"Your status is nothing compared to the lives of these people, and now you are just a captive. What is there to bargain about, what a prince, now just a prisoner! Li Kuan flatly rejected Ashinadur's request. He was determined to kill these Turkic soldiers.

"Killed, what kind of bullshit prince besides this, what kind of big-tailed wolf in front of this king?" After Li Kuan learned that the captive was actually a Turkic prince, he changed his name. Calling himself this king. This is to convey his own identity information to Ashnadur, don't think that the identity of a Turkic prince makes me jealous, I am not a simple little captain, I am the prince of the Tang Dynasty, how can your identity as a little Turkic prince be threatened?

Sure enough, after hearing Li Kuan claiming to be the king, Ashinadur's face changed suddenly, he didn't expect this young general to have such a background, no wonder the soldiers around him were so elite. After losing fifty or sixty men, he almost slaughtered his side.

"It turned out to be the little prince of the Tang Dynasty, disrespectful and disrespectful!" Ashinadur let go after despair. Stretched out his hands and lay on the ground, and arched his hands to Li Kuan.

"What is there to be disrespectful, we are enemies of life and death, and what do you do to honor your enemies? It's so brain-dead......" Li Kuan muttered, and then watched as the Xuanjia guard behind him began to slaughter those Turkic soldiers.

A gleaming lance pierced the throat of the Turkic lying on the ground, blood spurting out and flowing in the snow, and then quickly frozen by the cold temperature, forming a reddish ice cube. The stabbing made people's eyes hurt, Li Kuan squinted his eyes and stared at the Turkic man who was still twitching, and his face was gloomy without a trace of words.

"Why, don't you dare to look at it?" Li Kuan saw Ashinadur, who was still alive, close his tiger eyes, and a line of crystal liquid flowed down his dark skin, and asked in a deep voice, "Don't you dare to look directly at your brother dying so tragically?" But do you know that these brothers of yours have done what this king is doing now ten times and a hundred times on my people in the Tang Dynasty? You cried, I didn't expect Ziming's wolf-like Turkic people to cry too? Who wept for the dead people? Thousands of people in my Datang Dynasty died innocently under the iron hooves of your so-called descendants of beasts, have you ever had half a ripple in your heart? Li Kuan turned over and dismounted, the nail leaves rattled, strode in front of Ashinadur, and squatted down to look at the so-called Turkic prince.

"Say no more! There is no right or wrong in wars between peoples! Yes, my Turks have done a lot of things to hurt the people of the Tang Dynasty, but what difference is what you are doing now? What is the difference between you, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the descendants of us beasts? How can you stand on that moral high ground and accuse us? Is this the so-called gentleman of your Tang people? Ashinadur opened his eyes, his eyes were burning with raging flames, and it seemed that he was going to burn Li Kuan directly to death.

"How did this king ever say that he was a gentleman? This king is to rule him in the way of others, and if you do the first day of the new year, this king will do fifteen. If you slaughter tens of millions of people in my Tang Dynasty, this king will exterminate your entire Turkic clan. Now it is just the beginning, this king will lead the endless steppe wolves, sweep the entire grassland, and kill all the cattle and sheep. The king wants to see what would happen to you Turks without cattle and sheep. Will it just eat grass? Haha......" Li Kuan stretched out his hand and patted Ashinadur's cheek: "You'd better obediently tell the king about the distribution of tribes on the grassland now, otherwise!" ā€

"How can the men of my Ashina family be afraid of you? If we hadn't tried to fight for the brothers who followed me, we wouldn't have surrendered, you devil! The most valiant warrior of the steppe, the Great Khan, will surely tear you in half and avenge me! Ashinadur was actually very tough and cursed Li Kuanlai.

"Don't want to say? Tie it up, let's go first, and when we're away from here, we'll treat you well! Tie him up and take him away! Li Kuan waved his hand, and the two Xuanjia guards suddenly stepped forward and tied Ashinadur with a rope. Still on a war horse pulled back from the battlefield, then all the Xuanjia guards mounted their horses and headed into the distance, leaving only the corpses and the blood that had not yet been cold to tell that there had been a great battle here.

There was no smoke and dust, no smoke and fire, only stumps and broken arms on the ground, and corpses lying on the ground gradually cold. The battlefield was far behind them, and here the horses of the dead masters were wandering, arching over the familiar man, hoping that he would return to his back, gallop over the endless grasslands, and chase the winds of the sky.

Li Kuan looked at the Xuanjiawei who was following him, the two contact battles had left one-fifth of the three hundred people behind him, and now there were only about two hundred and forty people.

"There are still too few people, it seems that in the future, we will definitely not be able to fight directly with the Turks, this time fortunately, there are wolves to help, if the wolves are not around one day, wouldn't it be extremely dangerous?" Li Kuan was thinking about the gains and losses this time, and still felt that it was really not cost-effective to exchange the lives of sixty Xuanjia soldiers for five hundred Turkic dogs

"Captain, where are we going?" Liu Wei asked Li Kuan, now they have long deviated from the expected position, and now they have to test Sinan to even distinguish the direction in this boundless grassland, so where is there time to see if they want to run in that direction when they flee all the way. Now that he is idle, Liu Wei suddenly feels that something is wrong, although the grassland is covered with snow, and it is almost the same everywhere, but the sky can still see some clues, through the gap between the dark clouds in the sky, Liu Wei judged the position of the sun, and immediately knew that he and the others were actually walking back, and hurriedly reminded Li Kuan.

"Of course we're on the prairie now! Go and destroy the nest of the Turks! Li Kuan replied.

"But Lord Captain, our current direction is in the direction of Datang!" Liu Wei hurriedly spoke, it seems that the lord has not yet made a clear distinction between the southeast and the northwest.

"Is this going back? No way! Li Kuan was a little puzzled, he ran at full speed for most of the hour, and ran back for thirty or forty miles. It's a bit wronged.

"Exactly, Lord Lieutenant, please see, you can see the position of the sun from here, and we are heading in the southeast direction of the position of the sun now, aren't we going back?" Liu Wei pointed to a gap in the lead cloud in the sky.

Li Kuan glanced at it twice, but he didn't see it, but he didn't know it: "Then should we turn around now, or go back and interrogate this Turkic prince first?" Li Kuan asked Liu Wei and Xue Wanche.

"Lord Lieutenant, just go back first, it's already a great achievement to catch this Turkic prince, and then after you go back, you're making preparations, you see that many of these brothers under him have injuries on their bodies, and they have to go back for treatment!" I'm afraid it's not appropriate to run on the grassland with injuries like this! Xue Wanche said that he would go back and rest first, and then start all over again.

"That's it, Lord Captain, let's go back and interrogate this Ashinadur first, and after we have a better understanding of the distribution of Turkic people on the grassland, it's better to go quickly to break it than to try our luck on the grassland now!" Liu Wei also echoed Xue Wanche.

"You all want to go back?" Li Kuan looked at these two people, these two are the two people he trusts the most in the army now, since they both mentioned yƬ to return to the camp, then go back! It's just that he didn't find a coal mine, and he has been exploring all the way, but the distance of fifty meters is too small, especially in the vast grassland that looks the same everywhere, finding a coal mine is really like looking for a needle in a haystack, and although Li Kuan has a mineral distribution map in his hand, there is only a big reference, such as the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, etc., which is really far away from the specific location. So there was no discovery in the past two or three days, and Li Kuan was not much surprised. (To be continued......)
