Under the moonlight.

The killing intent beating in Qin Huaidao's eyes was like a burning yurt.

The tribal leader felt a terrifying killing intent rushing towards him, his scalp was numb, and he hurriedly said: "As long as you treat my tribesmen well and let us live, we will never rebel again, the environment here is harsh, it is not easy to live, everything is just to survive." ”

"This is the truth, in order to survive, in order to reproduce, do everything, this is understandable, however, you should not go to the territory of the Tang Kingdom to fight grass valleys, kill the people of the Tang Dynasty, rob the Tang Dynasty materials, burn the houses of the Tang Dynasty, even the children are not spared, and the men are taken into slavery to do the heaviest work, and the women are taken to give birth, but they do not get any dignity, how do you say I should retaliate?" Qin Huaidao said coldly.

"This ...... Haven't they all been like this for thousands of years? If we don't fight grass valleys and loot, the tribe won't survive, and we can't help it. The other party said with a bitter face.

"You robbed the Tang Kingdom in order to survive, so I killed you and robbed you in order to survive, is it also justified?" Qin Huaidao's tone became colder and colder.

"This ...... Please spare your life, we are willing to be slaves. The other party turned over and dismounted, threw himself to the ground, and made a big salute.

It is a gesture of begging on the steppe, representing surrender.

Qin Huaidao thought for a while and said: "From now on, you are my slaves, adult men are soldiers, those who kill five enemies will be restored to their free bodies, and they will be treated the same as my subordinate soldiers, and adult women will be assigned to medical soldiers, or incorporated into logistics to be responsible for cooking, raising livestock, etc., and they can also be restored to their free bodies after meritorious service. ”

"No, it's all up to you." The other party hurriedly said.

"There is no best, it doesn't matter if there is, it's a big deal to kill them all." Qin Huaidao continued to knock Dao, his cold gaze swept around, and he thought of something and asked, "Get up and answer, how many Tang slaves are there in the begging tribe?" ”。

The other party knew that he had escaped a catastrophe, so he quickly got up and said: "Lord Hui, there are still about 1,000 male slaves and about 800 female slaves, all of which have been rewarded by the king at the end of these years. ”

"Hit the grass valley and snatched it, right?" Qin Huaidao said coldly.

The other party's face froze, and he didn't dare to answer.

Qin Huaidao's eyes were like knives, and he continued to ask: "There are Turks who went deep into the territory of the Tang Kingdom and kidnapped a woman, have you heard of this?" Be honest. ”

"I've heard of it, I've heard of it......"

"Where's the man?" Qin Huaidao's eyes froze, his breathing became short, and there was finally news.

Luo Ying also locked on to the other party instantly, and his eyes lit up.

The other party felt the hurried attitude of the two of them, guessed something, but did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "In the end of the city, the prince of the end of the city personally took the elite of the five hundred kingdoms to the Tang Kingdom to arrest people, the specific reason is unknown, but I heard that when I returned to the end of the city, there were less than a hundred people around me. ”

"And the end city?" Qin Huaidao was overjoyed and quickly took out the map to check.

The Turks are honored by the Yibi Sha Bo Luo Yehu Khan, the Ashina tribe, the Khan is called Ashina Bobu, Jianya Suihe Shuibei, and its jurisdiction is bounded by the Yinlie River in the east, and the 36 countries in the Western Regions are all under the control of the Turks, including Qiuzi, Dushan, Jimo, Tocharo, Yanqi, Shiguo, Shiguo, He, Mu, Kang, etc.

To the south of the kingdom of Loulan, along the end of the river is the kingdom of the end of the kingdom.

Although the kingdom of Loulan perished, the last kingdom is still there.

Qin Huaidao's gaze fell on the location of the end city, and then looked at the surrounding large and small tribes, guarding the royal city, it was difficult to infiltrate to save people, even if he was rescued, it was difficult to evacuate, no wonder Xue Rengui had not succeeded for so long, it seemed that he could only press the border with a large army and force the handover, which meant that a large number of soldiers and horses were needed.

With a flash of thought, Qin Huaidao looked at Luo Ying: "Send someone back to report the news, and ask Li Yixie to bring someone over early tomorrow morning and relocate all that tribe." ”

"Obey!" Luo Ying hurriedly agreed and sent someone to deliver the message.

Qin Huaidao looked at the burning yurt, it was too late to put out the fire, fortunately, the yurts were all placed independently, one burned will not affect the side, and half of the yurts survived, there were a lot of fewer people in the begging tribe in this battle, and they could live in the crowd, his eyes fell on a few large yurts, and asked, "Where is it?" ”

"That's the tribal tent." The other party hurriedly said.

The tooth tent is the place where the tribal leader lives and deliberates, similar to the yafu, at this time, Luo Tong's excited laughter came from behind him: "Hahaha, happy, this battle is happy, brother, our army has suffered a lot of losses, and we have to replenish." ”

"How many casualties?" Qin Huaidao looked at Luo Tong, who was hurrying over.

"Two or three hundred people, worried that something would happen here, came in a hurry, I didn't have time to count, I didn't expect it to have been won, I didn't need to be in such a hurry if I knew it." Luo Tong sighed.

The losses on both sides accumulated four or five hundred people, but they took a medium-sized tribe, such losses can be bearable, Qin Huaidao's eyes fell on the captive, and said in a deep voice: "Nearly a thousand adult men, all of them are incorporated into your regiment and form a reinforced regiment, but you have to be careful." ”

Luo Tong looked at the captive, and instantly understood what Qin Huaidao was worried about, and said indifferently: "Don't worry, who dares to mess around."

, Lao Tzu killed him, give me one night, and make sure that everyone is obedient. ”

"Okay, go ahead, remember to have the bodies of the people killed in the war bring back and do a good job of registering." Qin Huaidao admonished, planning to arrange a bereavement pension after freeing his hands, to win people's hearts, if he wants the horse to run, he has to feed the grass, and it is best to concentrate feed.

"Gather all the women, children, elderly, and children of the tribe, let them bury the corpses, and count the spoils." Qin Huaidao said and looked at Luo Ying.

Luo Ying nodded and acted quickly.

"Let's go, go to the tent." Qin Huaidao looked at the tribal leader.

The other party hurriedly agreed and led the way in front.

Zhao Long came over with the guard battalion, guarding Qin Huaidao's side, staring around vigilantly, although he had already won, he was careless, a cold arrow was enough to kill people.

Smoothly came to the vicinity of the tooth tent, Zhao Long led people into the room to search and make sure it was safe.

After that, Qin Huaidao followed to the largest tent in the middle, there was a small bonfire burning in it, a leg of mutton was roasted on the bonfire, sizzling oil, the ground was covered with wool blankets, soft and comfortable, there were many boxes in the corner, open it and see, it was all gold and silver jewelry, and there were words on it, and it was snatched at a glance.

"It's quite rich, right?" Qin Huaidao's tone was a little cold.

The tribal leader's face changed drastically, and he did not dare to answer.

"Sit down, ask you something, as long as you cooperate well, I won't kill you." Qin Huaidao sat down by the bonfire, cut off a piece of meat with a knife and chewed it in his mouth, and after the other party sat down nervously, he continued to ask: "There are seven tribes in Qitun, how many capable warriors are there?" ”

"Among the seven tribes, they are the largest and richest, and the remaining six tribes have no more than four thousand warriors, and as for the food in their tribes, they can barely survive."

Qin Huaidao quickly calculated in his heart, one tribe has four thousand people, and six tribes are twenty-four, and it is still not something that he can fight against, and he has to eliminate them one by one, expand his strength, take out a blank piece of paper and spread it out, sharpen it with charcoal, and carefully inquire about the nearby terrain, while drawing.

Half an hour later, a detailed map appeared on the paper.

With the map in hand, many things will be easy to do, Qin Huaidao indicated the location of the other six tribes on the map, observed for a while, and continued to interrogate the combat effectiveness of the other tribes after knowing the bottom of his heart.

Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated.

The six tribes are scattered very openly, recently they are fifty or sixty miles away, Chong begging tribe to Qitun City, there is a small tribe in the middle, about 3,000 soldiers, Qitun City is a soil city managed by seven tribes, there is a coalition army of 700 people, each tribe sends 100 troops.

Tucheng covers a small area, a large bazaar for trading, a commercial street for selling goods, restaurants, inns and a barracks for caravans.

Qin Huaidao's eyes fell on Qitun City, the small tribe in the past of the begging department had only four thousand soldiers, it was not difficult to take it, and then take Qitun City by the way, control it in hand, even if the reputation was out, it would not only be able to meet with the brothers who came over, but also attract Xue Rengui to come.

Saving people is not trivial, once the news leaks, and the last king will fall into passivity with hostages, infiltration is okay, but the language is not comprehensible, the appearance is different, the past will be exposed, the only way is to find a reason, and in the name of bandits to invade, grab the land This reason is good, and it will not affect the heer.

There is another advantage to taking Qitun, Qitun is in the easternmost position of the end of the kingdom, and it is a necessary place to go to the Tang Kingdom, if it is controlled, even if the rescue is in a stalemate, the war is unfavorable, and resources can be transferred from Chang'an to support.

For generals, when you don't win, you must lose first!

Qin Huaidao frowned and pondered, and gradually made a decision.

Seeing that Qin Huaidao was silent, the tribal leader was inexplicably nervous, he didn't dare to move, he waited patiently, thinking of the future of the tribe, his heart was sad, and he felt a little remorseful.
