Chief, what are we going to do? If you don't escape, it's too late? Someone came to the leader of his family and whispered, if they can win the battle, they will definitely follow Zhu Xie to kill with all loyalty, but if they lose, they will not accompany Zhu Xie to die together, this is the survival law of the grassland people.

"Run? It's too late? With so many people lost, can you still go back to Pu Hai'an to live? "The Western Regions are so cruel, there are very few places that can feed thousands of big tribes, and when they were strong in the past, they could still occupy the Pu Sea, a land of fertile water and grass, if they lose this battle, the surrounding tribes will have to come over to grab the territory.

"So what do we do?" Yes, if they lose the battle, then the Qarlu and the white-clothed Turks who attacked the North Court with them before will turn their faces, and they will definitely not be able to resist with their current strength.

"I have to defect to Datang!" The leader said that betrayal and submission were eternal strategies on the grasslands, so he thought of this as soon as the Shatuo army showed its defeat.

"We only fought in Tingzhou last year, can Datang take us in?" This is a solution, with the Tang Dynasty covering, presumably Ge Lulu and the white-robed Turks will not dare to come, right? But will Datang forgive us?

"Attacking Tingzhou, that's what Zhu Xie did loyally, we were just forced to be helpless! Besides, it wasn't that there was no such thing before, since Datang could forgive us back then, as long as we defected this time, Datang would definitely accept us! "The chief remembers the history of the Shatuo Turks clearly.

In the early days, the Shatuo Turks had been following the Tang Dynasty to fight everywhere, only in the Yonghui period, Zhu Xie put his brain into the water and followed the Western Turk Yehu Ashina Helu to rebel, and then was quickly beaten by the Tang Dynasty, Shatuo quickly surrendered, and the Tang Dynasty also forgave them; Shatuo's new leader, Zhu Xie Jinshan, also hugged the thigh of Xue Rengui, the general of Zuo Wuwei, and followed Xue Rengui to put down the rebellion in Mobei, and won the official position of the Moli army's envoy.

After the Anshi Rebellion, Zhu Xie was loyal to his father's bones and helped the Tang Dynasty to quell the rebellion, and was awarded the official positions of General Tejin and Xiaowei, if he defected in battle, he might not only be forgiven by the Tang Dynasty, but even replace Zhu Xie and become the new leader of the Shatuo Turks! As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Xie Jielie's heart was hot.

"Besides, Datang doesn't have the strength to occupy Pu Zhihai now, if they destroy us, Pu Zhihai will return to the Falcon, will Datang be willing to see this scene?" Zhu Xie Jielie's brain was quite active, and seeing that his subordinates seemed to be hesitant, he immediately found a more reliable reason.

At this time, his subordinates were completely relieved, the Tang Dynasty still did not have enough soldiers and horses in the Western Regions, they could not occupy the Pu Sea, after all, they could only hand it over to others, since they could not be handed over to the Uighurs, then it seemed logical to accept our surrender.

So Zhu Xie Jielie immediately commanded his subordinates to defect and strike, disrupting the rear of the Shatuo army, and the leaders of the other families of Shatuo saw that they were preempted by Zhu Xie Jielie, and they regretted it, and immediately followed him to defect, and finally there was a strange scene on the battlefield, and the Shatuo people themselves attacked Zhu Xie with the Tang army.

Zhu Xie was loyal but not much surprised, when he showed his defeat, he had already expected this, whoever is strong will obey is the law of survival of the tribes in the Western Regions, I don't know how many times similar things have happened before, not only is he not angry, but even a trace of relief, in this way, even if he dies, Sha Tuo can still survive, right?

With a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, Zhu Xie was stabbed off the horse by Yun Erlang, and then Zhu Xie Jielie quickly found Zhu Xie Zhiyi, the son of Zhu Xie Zhizhong, and shouted, "Zhiyi, don't do it, it's me", taking advantage of Zhu Xie Zhiyi's hesitation, he took his head with a knife, and saw that Zhu Xie Zhizhong's father and son were dead, and the rest of the people surrendered.

In the original history, more than ten years later, Zhu Xie Zhizhong would die at the hands of the Tubo people, and then Zhu Xie Zhiyi took less than 10,000 people to Lingzhou, and kept safe under the response of the Tang Dynasty, and the rest was placed in Yanzhou, Zhu Xie Zhiyi was canonized as the soldier and horse envoy of Yinshan Mansion, and since then Shatuo has settled down in the Tang Dynasty, but now, Zhu Xie Zhiyi has no this opportunity.

As Zhu Xie Jielie expected, Shen Long generously accepted their surrender, "Haha, those who know the times are Junjie, since Zhu Xie Duzhong's father and son who betrayed my Tang Dynasty are dead, I will forgive you for your sins." ”

"Thank you, Lord Guardian! We had no choice but to wait before, and now we are willing to die for my Datang again! A hint of joy flashed in Zhu Xie Jielie's eyes.

However, before he could be happy, Shen Long's disposition came down, and first ordered them to send all the Tang Dynasty soldiers back, when Tingzhou fell, Sha Tuo also robbed a lot of Tang people to go back as slaves, and now they not only want to send these people back, but also strictly deal with the sinners who tortured the people of the Tang Dynasty in the first place.

In this regard, Zhu Xie Jielie didn't dare to refute at all, and immediately agreed, and then Shen Long put forward a second request, "In this battle, Zhu Xie is loyal to his father and son is dead, and their family's grassland is caught!" ”

Then Shen Long called Kang Guangde and the others, and pointed to the grassland on the map that the Zhu Xie Duzhong family now occupied, "From now on, you will graze here!" ”

Kang Guangde and the others suddenly burst into tears, in the past they could only beg for a living on the desert Gobi, but now the Tang Dynasty actually gave them such a fat grassland, you must know that in the Western Regions, such a grassland can only be owned by those powerful big tribes, in the past they didn't even dare to think about it, it was like a beggar suddenly got ten thousand taels of gold.

"Thank you, Lord Guardian." Kang Guangde and others pulled out daggers one after another, cut their faces, and swore with blood, "We will definitely follow Datang and follow the arrest to the death." With that, they crawled to Shen Long's feet one by one and kissed the ground he had stepped on.

Yang Zhengu smiled and said nothing when he saw Shen Long disposing of this, and gave the grassland of the Shatuo people to these miscellaneous beards, which can not only buy people's hearts, but also let the surrounding tribes see that it is a great benefit to follow me Datang.

And it can also divide the strength of the Shatuo people, and bury a nail in the middle of the Shatuo people, Pu Shihai was originally their territory, and now that Kang Guangde and others have entered, this grassland is equivalent to being divided into two, if anyone wants to be unfavorable to Datang in the future, other tribes will definitely report it immediately.

More importantly, they blocked the reason for the Uighurs to enter the Pu Sea, originally they could use the fact that Shatuo's power was greatly reduced and not enough to occupy the Pu Sea as an excuse to occupy a part of the grassland, but after Kang Guangde and the others entered, they could not say so.

Killing three birds with one stone, Yuan Zheng not only fought well, but also acted as an ordinary politician.
