Twenty meters away from the tent, Xue Yantuo Khan had already heard the coughing sound inside, inside was Xue Yantuo's prime minister, I don't know how many people died in a winter because of the wind and cold, if it weren't for the time of life and death, Xue Yantuo Khan would not have come here.

"Prime Minister, are you feeling better?"

Seeing the old prime minister Xue Yantuo Khan lying on the bed was also a little embarrassed, this old prime minister was also worried about the entire Xue Yantuo, and now that it was the last time, he had to let him not be idle.

"Khan better leave quickly, I'm terminally ill, if Khan stays here for a long time, it is very likely that he will be sick, and some people in this tent are already sick."

Although the old prime minister was not satisfied with the Khan in front of him, the person in front of him was the king of the entire Xue Yantuo after all, if he died of illness, especially at this time, then the Tang people would be happy.

When the old prime minister said this, Xue Yantuo Khan was really nervous in his heart, he himself was more desperate, whenever the people around him were infected with the wind and cold, he wanted to bury this person alive immediately, but at this moment he received a series of reports, the Tang army has indeed moved, and the bastard of Captain Zuo is the vanguard of the people, and all the dangers along the way have been avoided, and he can't see that he is going to kill in half a month.

And according to the secret agent's news, Li Xiang is still buying people's hearts along the way, after this catastrophe, the hearts of the people on the Xue Yantuo grassland have been torn apart, Li Xiang only needs to give them a little benefit, to be able to make these people feel valued, they are like ants here in Xue Yantuo Khan, as long as Li Xiang is a little bit better to them, these people will soon return to the Tang Dynasty.

According to the information they have gathered, more than 30 tribes have declared their allegiance to the Tang Dynasty, which accounts for one-third of them, and if there is a conflict next, these people under Xue Yantuo Khan dare not believe it, after all, there are many people from these more than 30 tribes, their mother family has betrayed, will they themselves continue to fight with the Khan? Even if they dared to follow, would Xue Yantuo Khan be able to trust them?

In case these people collude with their tribe and stab them in the back during the war, Xue Yantuo Khan will not say that he has achieved victory, and even saving his life is a luxury, and now he can't believe it, the old prime minister is considered a veteran of the three dynasties, so he wants to hear the opinion of the old prime minister, so even if the old prime minister is infected with the wind and cold, he himself is in danger of being infected, and he has to listen here honestly.

"What is the old prime minister talking about, you and I are the kings and ministers, since my father's time, you have brought great changes to Xue Yantuo, and now the great enemy is now, the old prime minister must take care of his body, so as to be able to find a way for us Xue Yantuo, and Gemu sent a few of them......"

As he spoke, Xue Yantuo Khan pointed to several young people next to him, all of whom were the sons and grandsons of the old prime minister.

The old prime minister was already running out of oil and running out of lights, and he was already reluctant to come up with ideas, but at this moment, thinking of his son and grandson, if he didn't do anything before he died, according to the Khan's way of doing things, his children and grandchildren would be miserable at that time.

"Great Khan, tell me about the situation in Datang."

With just a few words, the old prime minister coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, and everyone could see that the old prime minister should not be able to hold on, and what was needed at this time was to have a good rest, but Xue Yantuo Khan didn't have time to let him rest, and immediately asked his subordinates to report some of the situation.

The old prime minister's family members clenched their fists, they wanted to rebel now, but they had no choice but to be deprived of all their military powers, and they also knew that the old prime minister was now his head, if he didn't give the sweat an idea, then they wouldn't want to have a good life in the future.

After listening to the report of his subordinates, the old prime minister asked the door of the tent to be opened, and some fresh air came in, although the temperature dropped a lot, but the old prime minister's mind was much clearer, this should be the last time he gave advice to Xue Yantuo.

"We have no way out, it is impossible to continue to the north, then we can only go south or west now, if we go south, we don't have the strength to defeat Datang, then we can only go west."

The old prime minister has no other way, for the matter of going west, Xue Yantuo Khan has not considered it before, at least he is still a grassland under his feet, if he goes west, there is a large Gobi desert, there is no way to live, what can we do here to graze over there?

There are indeed oases on the Gobi Desert, but there are more than a dozen countries in the Western Regions, and are those countries all of them easy to get along with? The Western Regions itself has a lot of territory, but there are not many places where people can live, and one city-state after another has been established on the oasis, and those people will fight with you in order to protect the place where they live, and if you go there, I will have to fight over there.

"Prime Minister, I know that the past is the only way to retreat, but there are more than a dozen countries to the west of us, although each of them is not strong, but if our Xue Yantuo's army is in the past, it will easily arouse their disgust, once they are united, let alone seize the territory, it is very likely that the whole army will be wiped out."

Xue Yantuo Khan said anxiously, he had found that the vitality of the old prime minister was slowly draining, if he didn't have a good idea before the old prime minister died, he really didn't know what to do with these people, is the West so good?

"If you go west, you may be wiped out, but if you want to go south, it will definitely be the annihilation of the whole army, this is still different, we have now reached a dead end, we can only fight for a chance to survive."

The old prime minister grabbed Xue Yantuo Khan's hand and squeezed his hand heavily, but the old prime minister didn't have much strength at the moment, after saying these words, the old prime minister fainted, and the people next to him were startled, and quickly poured a few mouthfuls of ginseng soup into the old prime minister, but the old prime minister couldn't speak after waking up, and it seemed that he couldn't hold on for a few days.

Xue Yantuo Khan said goodbye to the old prime minister, came to his tent in a daze, and poured half a catty of soju on the way.

Western regions?

Xue Yantuo Khan's mouth repeated these two words, could it be that he really wanted to go over there to beg for a living?
