On the vast grassland, the barren grass had just revealed a little green, and the dense Turks swarmed there, and after the crowd passed, the green had disappeared.

There were more than 100,000 Turks, some on horseback, and more on foot, driving a large number of sheep and horses, and marching towards the northeast. The line is getting longer and longer, and people keep falling behind, but the people in front of them don't pay attention to it at all and continue to move forward.

Such a large-scale tribal migration is a natural process of elimination, and the weak cannot reach their destination, as has always been the case.

The Khan's tooth tent was struck by lightning twice in a row, and a large number of nobles died, which was already extremely unsettling. If even the heavens thought that the Turks had done something wrong and sided with the Heavenly Khan, then how could they fight against the great army of the Heavenly Khan.

The Heavenly Khan has always had great prestige in the steppes, especially among the Tiele tribes. The Khan said that the Heavenly Khan wanted to destroy the Turks, but people did not believe it at all, and now after the Khan's tooth tent was struck by lightning, people even thought that the Gel Khan had secretly done something bad, which attracted the wrath of the Heavenly Khan and the punishment of God.

Originally, there were more than 100,000 people in the Hui tribe itself, and it was divided into nine clans internally, and after leaving the Khan's tooth tent this time, the people of several clans had quietly left the brigade, gave up the Yao Luo Ge clan, and directly returned to their pastures with the clansmen. At present, among the more than 100,000 people, there are less than 50,000 people belonging to the various clans of the Hui tribe, and the rest all belong to the Bayegu tribe.

It's not that the Bayegu tribe is loyal to Gele Khan, in fact, they are also extremely dissatisfied with Gele Khan. Their pastures were on the east side, near Murwe, and they traveled back and forth to the Gha Tent and the Gel Khan shortly after the alliance. Then there was news that the Murowei and Li Jing had joined forces to attack their pastures. Kill the news of the old and weak left behind by them. At first, they asked Golkhan to send troops to take revenge. The Khan of Gol refused, and they had many resentments in their hearts. And now they are fleeing with Gelkhan because they have nowhere to go. The original pastureland had fallen into the hands of the Murwei and the Tang army, and they could not fight it on their own, so they could only flee to Beihai with Gel Khan.

The tens of thousands of cavalry of the Yao Luo Ge clan surrounded a gorgeous carriage and walked at the front of the crowd. The young Yao Luo Ge Yidijian's eyes were full of blood, and he guarded the carriage with a knife.

Inside the carriage, Golkhan lay in the brocade quilt. The whole body was tightly wrapped by Bai Lian, his body was extremely stiff, and there was no blood flowing out of the wound.

Yao Luo Gejian lifted the curtain of the carriage and leaned his ear close to the carriage, as if listening to what Gel Khan had to say. However, in the carriage, Gelkhan closed his eyes and did not speak.

Of course he couldn't speak, because he was already dead. The second time the thunder struck his tent, he was completely dead.

Yao Luoge lowered the curtains and sat up straight on horseback. Continue to follow the carriage slowly.

As the heir of the Yao Luo Ge clan, it was supposed to be after his father's death. He rightfully became the leader of the Uighur tribe and automatically gained all rights. However, Yao Luo Ge Yidijian did not announce his father's death, because he knew that if he did, he would only be the leader of the Hui tribe, not the khan of the entire steppe.

His father was a khan canonized by the Heavenly Khan, so he was recognized by various tribes in the steppe. And if he declares himself the leader of the Hui tribe, but is not canonized by Tian Khan, then the other Tiele tribes will not recognize him. In that case, the mighty Uighur Khanate would collapse in an instant.

The reality is so ridiculous, the army of the Heavenly Khan is about to invade the steppe and want to destroy the Hui Khanate, and the Khan of the Hui Khanate still has to be canonized by the Tian Khan to have appeal. If the death of Gel Khan is announced, the leader of the Bayegu tribe will immediately be on an equal footing with him, and will no longer willingly obey his commands.

For the Tiele Ninth Division, it has become inertia that power comes from the Heavenly Khan. His grandfather destroyed the Turks in Mo Nan more than ten years ago, and after being canonized by Tian Khan, he immediately became loyal to the nine tribes of Tiele, and surrendered all the tribes in the land of Wanli without having to conquer the east and west, and easily established a khanate. The other Tiele tribes were not subservient to the military might of the Hui headquarters, but to the prestige of the Heavenly Khan.

And now that the various troops and horses of the Heavenly Khan are attacking the steppe, and his father is dead, he can only hide the news. Only in this way will it be possible for him to perpetuate the khanate established by his father.

"As long as you defeat the Tang people!" "Defeat the Tang once and let them know our strength, and then the Heavenly Khan may be able to accept our request for peace." As long as he canonizes me as Khan, the Uighur Khanate will continue to exist in the north. Even if we lose the land of Monan, as long as we are canonized by the Heavenly Khan, my khanate will continue to exist. ”

This time, the Heavenly Khan went to war against the Hui Khanate, and his father didn't understand why, and he couldn't figure it out either. Since the establishment of the Uighur Khanate for more than ten years, it has always been extremely deferential to the Tang Dynasty and has never had a dispute. This time, it was the damned Fugu tribe that invaded the territory of the Tang Dynasty and killed the Tang people. The Fugu tribe fled from the Hui Khanate on their own, and it has nothing to do with them, why did the Tian Khan attack their khanate after destroying the Fugu tribe and not give them a chance to explain at all?

The benevolent Heavenly Khan, the co-ruler of all the tribes on the steppe, shouldn't be like this.

Yao Luoge shifted back and looked at the ant-colony of Turkic people. Now his people were all depressed, obviously completely crushed by the two heavenly thunders, and they had no courage to fight.

No matter how many people there are, they can't compare to a team of brave knights. Such a person is of no use at all in battle.

However, he didn't have any way, he didn't know how to explain the two heavenly thunders, thinking of those two heavenly thunders, he himself was terrified.

The first time the thunder fell, he was nearby, and he saw with his own eyes the corpses of many tribal leaders flying into the sky, and it took a long time to fall. This kind of power is simply not something that human beings can have. Such a terrifying power. It can only be owned by the Divine.

I just hope to reach Beihai safely. Settle the people. Terrifying memories of the thunderbolts. It will slowly fade over time. At that time, these people may have the courage to pick up their swords again.

More than 100,000 Turks drove a large number of horses and sheep slowly to the northeast, and the crowd was scattered all over the mountains. The news that the army of Tian Khan was going to enter the steppe had already spread, and the small tribes along the way were hiding in the valley and did not dare to come out, and there were few pedestrians on the road leading to Beihai, and occasionally some Xinghu merchants could be seen.

Even when war raged on the grasslands, these merchants would bring their goods to trade on the grasslands. Their goods are what the people of the steppe need, and the simple steppe people will never rob them of their things. So they were able to cross the territory of the warring sides safely, and gain some wealth by their toil.

The merchants were very happy to see the Turks coming from all over the mountains. However, at this time, the Turks were only thinking about escaping as far away from the tent as possible, and no one was in the mood to trade with them. But people still don't hurt them, they walk quietly past them, say hello and leave on their own.

Yao Luo Ge Yidi Jian and his own soldiers also did not harm these hard-working Xinghu merchants, which is a tradition on the grassland. The Xinghu merchants came from the west, and they were able to bring them all kinds of things they needed, and they were friends rather than enemies of the steppe people.

Outside an open valley, a dozen Xinghu merchants stood by the road with their goods. The Turks passed by all over the mountains, but none of them stopped to trade with them. Just greeted them politely. The merchants' faces were full of disappointment, and they saw that the Turks had gone away, and one by one they walked into the valley.

Deep in the valley, in an ornate tent. The Sogdian merchant Kang Wannian listened to the report from his subordinates and asked with a smile: "Only the Hui and the Baye Ancient Tribe?" Are you sure? ”

"It is true that there are only these two tribes, and the subordinates can be sure. In the Hui headquarters, there are only five clans' people, and the rest of the people have disappeared. A businessman replied respectfully.

"In this way, compared to two days ago, another clan member of the Hui headquarters has left. The Baye ancient tribe is still all following Gel Khan. Kang Wannian smiled.

"That's it." The merchant replied.

Kang Wannian smiled slightly: "Keep following!" They walked so slowly that it would not be long before the young master's men and horses could catch up. We have to report the news here every day, and be careful not to disguise our identities so that the young master's men don't find out about us, they have been following Gele after they have made a big move in the back tooth tent. ”

The merchant smiled and said, "Don't worry, we are in the light, they are in the dark, there are many merchants on the grassland, how can they find out our identity?" On the contrary, we can often find their traces, and there are too many of these spies under the young master, and they really lack training, and the levels vary greatly. It's okay to hide from the stupid Turks, how can it be so easy to hide from our eyes! ”

Kang Wannian smiled, waved his hand and said: "The young master is bound to win this time, we are here to help him, and we can't let the first credit for destroying Hui Su go aside." Although these spies are a little stupid, they can be considered useful, and they should be enough to deal with the Turks, and maybe they won't need our help in the end. Go ahead, what's going on! ”

The merchant smiled and nodded, and walked briskly out of the tent.

"If this continues, when we get to the edge of the North Sea, how many people will be in Geler's hands?" Kang Wannian said with a smile.

"Gele is dead, you should say, how many people are still in the hands of Prince Hui." The next merchant said with a smile, "But the young master will catch up in three or two days, and the prince will not be able to escape to the shore of the North Sea." ”

"The young master is indeed powerful, this time let's help him, I'm afraid it's too much, and I'm going to run for nothing." Kang Wannian said with a smile.

"That's true, but it doesn't mean that we don't have credit." The merchant smiled, "When the Fugu tribe moved west, we brought them to the Pu Sea. If it weren't for this, there would be no Northern Expedition, and the young master would not be able to do more to destroy the country. ”

"This matter must not be mentioned again, after all, hundreds of Tang people have died. If the young master knew about it, everything would be over. You know his temper too. Death of a Tang person will be angry, let alone the death of hundreds of Tang people. If he wants to settle this account on our heads, then there is nothing to talk about, and he will never let me go. Kang Wannian said solemnly.

The merchant nodded and sighed, "It's a pity that such a great credit can only rot in the stomach." (To be continued......)
