Chapter 585: Suddenly

"Since you are willing to submit, I, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, will regard you as my people of the Tang Dynasty, and you will also obey the laws of my Tang Dynasty and obey my Tang Dynasty assignment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Stay in your place, don't cross the line, don't trespass on other people's grassland.' An official was preaching to a group of herdsmen who had come to the grassland, and one person was holding a big lama and translating his Chinese to the people below.

After talking for a long time, after explaining some basic matters to be observed, he emphasized that you have nothing to do with other people on the grassland who have not surrendered, you are already Tang people, you must abide by the law of joint sitting, supervise each other, and prohibit contact with those who have not surrendered.

Then, it is to take the oath with them, in the language of their own race, to complete the whole surrender ceremony.

The time has entered August, and it is officially a good season on the grassland, and more and more grassland tribes can't stand it to come to Datang. This ritual is also becoming more common. They brought their families and dependents, and brought their only remaining belongings to Datang.

Everyone needs to be preached like this, and they have to swear to abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and then someone will place them. However, whether or not you really do what you swear is one thing outside the order.

"Every time I see it, I'm so shocked." On the grassland, a pitch-black giant beast rushed over with a bang, and the green grass on both sides took advantage of this giant beast to struggle even more.

Guletu watched the beast run by, he had come to cut the grass, he had picked up a huge sickle and painted, and a piece of alfalfa fell, and his son went to gather the harvested grass, and then Guletu said, "I've seen enough, I've seen enough, I've gone away, I've taken a big risk by leaving you here."

"Hmph, Gu Letu, look at your appearance, how can we have the courage of our grassland eagles, you are like a cowardly Han man, harvesting grass, you are too embarrassed to lose face to our grassland men. Don't you even know how to ride a horse now?'

Several figures came out of the grass next to them, but it was Da Xuan, they ventured deep into the place controlled by Datang to investigate Datang's movements, and Gu Letu took the risk to take him in for the sake of past friendship.

"You'd better leave quickly, Datang has implemented a joint sitting, if you don't leave, I won't report you, someone will report it." Unmoved, Gu Letu said, "As for being like a Han or a Xi person, I don't care at all, I'm very satisfied with my current life."

"As for the harvest, I'm just sorry that I have grass here, and the harvest is back to replenish it, and we still graze, but we don't wander around like before."

After saying that, he ignored Da Scolding, turned around and left with his son, and said to his son as he walked, "Come, read to your master, what has the school teacher taught you." Behind him, he gritted his teeth and only scolded in a low voice, "traitor", and then turned around and left with a few fighters behind him.

"I really want to sit down once." A young warrior who followed behind Da Zhen sighed, what I saw today was really shocking, how could the Tang people create such a terrible artifact, "I think it's terrible." , the other person was particularly palpitating.

"What is there to be afraid of?" "That kind of train, no matter how terrible it is, is just running on the railroad, and if they build the railroad to the back, then we will dismantle their railroad and use it as a weapon."

"What's more, the train also needs to be driven, as long as we avoid the front, run along the train, climb onto the train, and kill the driver, no matter how powerful the train is, we can't run. What are you afraid of?'

"Oh." , Da Xuan is still quite prestigious, and as soon as he scolds people, the people who originally wanted to speak are silent. However, I have to say that Da Zhen is still very talented, and the first time he saw the train, he discovered the method of intercepting the train by those train thieves and Indians in American Western movies.

It's just that everyone has a little calculation in their hearts. Nothing to be afraid of? This kind of train is terrifying, but it is the capacity. Although I haven't been on the bus, I know that it is not a matter of eating food, not to mention the speed, and it can also carry a large number of goods and personnel.

Whether it is up to the head or down to the ordinary herdsmen, they understand very well that they are stronger than the Tang army because of their mobility, and the Tang people have horses, and they are definitely not as many as them, and they are not as convenient.

But now, Datang has such a terrifying artifact, even more powerful than their war horses, how not to let them be afraid. In addition, there are many role models in front of them, and many of the tribes who have surrendered to the tribe have a good life, although they are the group of people who have accepted the Tang lifestyle very early.

That doesn't mean they can't learn, the sooner the better. They also understood that after they voted for the Tang Dynasty, the head man had nothing to do with them, and the Tang Dynasty would send officials to manage it, and whatever the grassland was distributed to them, it was also assigned by them. In that case, why bother with the head.

"For today's plan, we can only fight to the death with Datang, otherwise, we will have no way to live." "It's easy to say, didn't we resist in the first place? Now I'm going to go back and fight.'"

"We resisted, we suffered heavy casualties, we used all the methods, we decided to leave, and now you want us to go back, are you fooling us?"

"I still insist on continuing to avoid, the Tang people can't spend so much money, they won't last long." "You put X, Datang has a train, if we don't resist, where else can we run."

After a lot of hardships, Da Xuan finally returned to the current control of the coalition forces, and he couldn't take a break, so he hurried to report his condition, and before he could get closer, he heard a quarrel, a loud voice, as if the loud was justified.

"I still advocate continuing to migrate, the Tang people are now slower, and soon they will retreat themselves." The leaders of the tribes of Murowei said, "As for the train, it is impossible to get it, what is as strong as an ox, it does not eat grain and grass, and it can get an iron horse day and night, that is a myth at all, it is those soft bones who have deceived us after surrendering." "That's right, the farther we run, the better, just relying on the Tang people to get two legs, can't catch up with our four legs."

Finally a unified opinion was reached, and all the tribes continued to move to fight against the Tang army. However, with the news from the Yelu Ministry and the news from many grassland tribes who had taken refuge in the Tang Dynasty, they felt bad and began to quarrel again.

"A bunch of cowards, how long are you going to run?" , Hearing this, Da reprimanded from the heart, the train is a deception? Haven't this group of people seen it with their own eyes, and they have abandoned the news of those heroic soldiers who sacrificed their lives, and now they are still vying to speak nonsense?

Hearing this, Da Zhen pushed open the tent and shouted angrily, "Datang is determined to destroy us this time, you think you are the only one to hide, Yan Yaren, don't forget that Datang has conquered the Bohai Sea, which is near your door."

"The same is true of you, the people of Murowe." , he pointed to the many leaders next to him, "Datang just didn't go from Bohai this time, their railway has begun to be built to Bohai, how long do you think you can hide?"

"Don't say that the train is a lie, I saw it with my own eyes." , Da reprimanded his eyes and said, "I regret it now, I didn't know earlier, I knew earlier, and I wouldn't give up my land no matter what."

"But it's not too late, we can't retreat anymore, the Tang Dynasty is too ruthless, they not only burn, but also pollute the grassland, they have the ability to do it." , Da reprimanded and yelled, "Only now to die and fight."

"What are you, how can you speak here?" , some impassioned words, in exchange for only a louder scolding, those who were angrily reprimanded by the tribal leaders, one after another scolded him for his rudeness, and even Xi Wang Ru Xi asked him to step down.

"Let's tell him the news first." At this time, Yeluyun really stood up and eased his cheeks, and Da Zhen glanced at him gratefully, and first reported the situation with a few brothers who risked their lives to inquire.

"The Tang people are going to completely cut off our back road this time, we can only be like the Han people say, break the cauldron and sink the boat, and fight to the death with the Han people, if the grassland is polluted, where will we go to herd sheep. I saw with my own eyes that truckloads of snowflake salt were carried by train, and the Tang people were still building one fortress after another on the land we had abandoned. It's all made of stone, and you don't realize it, so you have to surrender, go with the coward of Ru Xi, and I will resolutely resist to the end."

"You're so bold, do you still have me in your eyes?" , Ru Xi angrily reprimanded, Da reprimanded and ignored it, turned his head and left.

"Bring the wine." Da Squat was very unhappy, returned to his tent, and ordered the wine to be put on the table, his wife put the wine on the table, Da Squat took a sip and threw it at her, "What kind of horse urine is this, give me good wine", his wife can only send some sugar wine from Datang, this is the cheapest wine in Datang, the best wine sold on the grassland, strong enough, and cheap enough.

Da Xuan drank and soon got drunk and fell asleep, and the stuffy wine was the most intoxicating. Only his wife was worried and got out of the tent until she came back from grazing and got a child. She counted what was left of her house with a sad face, and there was not much left.

"I can't live this day anymore." , She sighed, the further north she went, the fewer cattle and sheep there were, not only because she wanted to avoid the Tang army, but also because the spring migration caused a lot of cattle and sheep to die, and those caravans in the Tang Dynasty were getting worse and worse day by day, but they couldn't do without it, without the Datang caravan, without those swords and armor, without the spirits they loved to drink, and without the medicine, how could they live this day.

"I miss the prairie before." , She looked at the blue sky from afar, as if the pasture at home before, how beautiful the days were at that time, whatever she wanted, the caravan of Datang would send it, just exchange it for cattle and sheep.

My own men don't have to go out to fight and die, how many men have died on the battlefield, but they can't get anything back.

Nowadays, it is impossible to go back in time. Unless you surrender, you will completely accept the control of Datang. She doesn't understand, what's wrong with that?

As long as they accept the Tang Dynasty, they will not suffer from man-made disasters, no one will bully them, although they have to pay taxes and serve, but it is much better than living in a precarious life on the grassland.

Natural disasters, the Khan will give relief, cattle and sheep also have a way out, and they can be exchanged for a lot of good things. Children can go to school and go to Datang to live a life. What's the bad thing about paying a little tax, doesn't the head man take the cattle from them every year? Service? That man doesn't contribute to the patriarch every year?

She understands this truth as a woman, why can't her own man understand it? Now there are heavy casualties, and almost every family of people left behind has died in the struggle against the Tang army. As a result, nothing was gained.

It's hard to go back now. Datang doesn't care about the grassland at all, they care about the people not being bullied, some places with abundant water and grass have been occupied, and the fortress has been driven away, and the remaining places Datang will be completely destroyed.

Not just set on fire, but completely destroyed. The grassland polluted by the Tang Dynasty will not grow a single grass, but it is okay to burn it, the Tang Dynasty completely polluted the grassland, and the Tang people brought a large amount of salt to make a desert.

They burned the grassland, then sprinkled salt on it, so that the place would be completely devoid of grass. Anyway, the Tang people don't like meadows.

"There is no going back to the old days." , she secretly wept, not to mention that she had to return to the previous days, and even the current days, she didn't know how to live. The losses were so serious, the cattle and sheep were thin and few, and most of them were bought by the Tang people.

In the past, the cheap cloth, grain and grass, and spirits were all raised very high by the Tang people, and I don't know if these cattle and sheep are enough to eat next year. If there is another heavy snowfall in winter, the whole family will have to wait to starve to death.

Even if the Tang people retreated, the grassland was ruined. Not only are the grasslands ruined, but even the cattle and sheep are not enough. How can you live without ewes?

No matter how long the argument is, there will always come a time when the nomads who are forced to the end of the road finally make up their minds to fight a decisive battle.

Li Chen's intention was fully realized, taking advantage of the spring to force them to migrate, and then building a fortress to drive them away inch by inch. There were beacons and telegraphs between each fortress to communicate, and the large number of cavalry and infantry troops of the Tang Army completely made them have no gaps to intersperse, making them the most adept at destroying grain routes and making them unusable.

After that, it's time to consume, and see who can consume whom. He has been hoarding grain and grass for many years, plus the labor has to be abolished, and there are banks to borrow, so that Datang is not afraid of consumption at all, if they don't take the initiative to attack, Li Chen really doesn't mind using salt to make a separation zone.

There is no grass growing in this area, which is much more useful than burning wasteland. In the end, it is to sell them useless things, inferior gunpowder, spirits, and rotten ironware, and squeeze out the last bit of their possessions.

The caravan carried their belongings away little by little. They don't want it? It doesn't matter, someone will always ask for it. Moreover, a lot of war materials are urgently needed by them. Li Chen also raised the high price, ruthlessly took their belongings, and tried to move them as much as possible.

Finally, a poisonous trick forced the nomads who regarded the grassland as their fate on the road to a decisive battle, and the big war will start.

Hearing that the nomads were assembling a large army, the Tang army also began to assemble, who would have thought that at this time, a sudden heavy snow came.
