Chapter 534: Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate

"How many days are left until the Xue Yantuo Royal Court?"

The tribes in the southern region are basically submissive, and the tribes they encounter along the way are all unmanned, so Li Xiang and their speed have also increased a lot, and it has been two consecutive days of rapid marching.

"If you go back to Your Highness, if you go from here quickly, it will be two days at most, because it is winter, we can cross the river, if it is in spring and summer, then we need to take a detour."

Bayannur is very clear about the situation here, this guy now knows what he should do, and he was still a little confused when he set off, and now he is just thinking about working hard for Li Xiang and letting Li Xiang see his ability.

Li Xiang just knows a rough idea here, we are rushing from the east and south, so it is impossible for these people to escape from these two directions, and now they have not found Xue Yantuo's main force, according to what Bayan Zhuoer said, at least tens of thousands of cavalry can be gathered, if these tens of thousands of cavalry have moved, we must have noticed it in advance, and the purpose now is to find them.

The sounding balloon is in the sky at any time, and the soldiers on it are also rotated every hour or two, and if there is a large group of people around, there is no reason why we can't find it.

On the way, they proposed several locations, and it was very likely that Xue Yantuo Khan would set up an ambush here, but I didn't expect that we would all come over without danger, where did these main forces go?

Su Dingfang and the others were already ready for battle, and they thought about the help of defeating Xue Yantuo in a battle, but no matter how well prepared they were, now you can't find anyone from other people's homes at all, in such a large grassland, if you want to play hide and seek with you, it will really be able to play for a while, but in the winter, their non-combat attrition must be very powerful.

Two days later, they finally arrived at the seat of the Xue Yantuo royal court, but they did not find anyone here except for some old and sick people.

"Report to Your Highness, ask clearly, Xue Yantuo Khan went to the west with the last 30,000 cavalry."

Bayannur said with some worry, among the 30,000 cavalry, there are also some relatives in his family, he has already asked Li Xiang for kindness, as long as he behaves well on the battlefield, then Li Xiang can pardon those people for innocence, and now those people have gone to the west, following the second goods like Xue Yantuo Khan, can there be any good results?

Li Xiang thought about it countless times in his heart, and he thought about the course of the war here several times, but all kinds of methods were useless, and he didn't expect Xue Yantuo Khan to take Ren to the Western Regions.

"Where is Huo Qu sick?"

Li Xiang thought of another way, he led people to directly attack Xue Yantuo's royal court, and Huo Qubing attacked the right captain.

"Back to His Highness, we haven't heard from General Huo for two days, but according to the plan we made before, if the right captain didn't leave, then General Huo should have already fought him."

Su Dingfang looked at his record book, the generals of this era don't have this kind of thing, this is also because of Li Xiang's words and deeds, good memory is not as good as a bad pen, so the generals in the army also have their own record books, and record all some important things on it, so that you can not find it when you need it in the future, if there is anything that needs to be checked, these record books can also allow you to find it quickly.

"Does anyone here know the status of the troops under Xue Yantuo's right captain?"

It has been investigated clearly before, there should be 20,000 cavalry under the right captain, but because of the blizzard, at least more than 30% of the troops have to be reduced, but this is all our speculation, and now we have arrived at Xue Yantuo's lair, there should be some people who are familiar with the situation, and they should know the real situation when they are called.

"Back to His Highness, his subordinates have already interrogated him just now, according to the results of several people, the right captain can have 20,000 soldiers to fight under his command, but these people are distributed in more than a dozen tribes, if no one gives him a warning, then it will be difficult for him to gather these people."

Bayannur has seen Huo Quzhi's ability to command troops, if Huo Qubing takes people over, then if he wants to gather these people, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream, and Huo Qubing will never give them this opportunity.

Li Xiang smiled when he heard the news, it seems that the grassland is partial to Huo Quai, this kid can find an opportunity to make contributions no matter what era he is, he can do it in the Han Dynasty, and now he can do it in the Tang Dynasty.

"Set up camp, let's take a break here for the time being, and you go and find the surrounding tribal leaders, find everything you can find, from now on, this is the place that belongs to the Tang Dynasty, no matter whether Xue Yantuo's Khan comes back or not in the future, the Beiting Protectorate must be set up here."

After Li Xiang's words were finished, the Tang soldiers instantly stood on their bodies, they felt that the whole person was very proud, and now these capital protectorates set up by the Tang Dynasty are almost all the credit of Li Xiang, if there is no Li Xiang, how can the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty be so large?

"Your Highness, some of the tribal leaders in this vicinity are stubborn, they are all old people around the former Khan, and some even sent their sons away, leaving them with this old bone here, if you want to convince them, I'm afraid it won't be so easy."

Bayannur knew who the people here were, they were all old people around the Khan, and it was almost impossible for them to betray the Khan, so he had to give Li Xiang a preventive shot first, so as to save Li Xiang from seeing these stubborn people angry.

"Then this matter will be left to you to do, those who are willing to submit to the Tang Dynasty are still the tribal leaders, and those who are not willing to submit to the Tang Dynasty will send him back to the West, we don't need such people."

Li Xiang looked at Bayannur with a smile, with blood on your hands, you have no way to buy people's hearts here, even if you seal this area to many people under your command in the future, you will not accept you, and you can only live with your back to Datang.

Su Dingfang and a few of them immediately got out of the way, Li Xiang has done similar things in other places, it depends on whether you are truly obedient to Datang, and use your knife to cut a way for Datang, then your children and grandchildren are all people of Datang.
