Chapter 190: Beasts

The abnormal movement of the Qiuzi Tang army naturally could not hide from the eyes of Tushi, and in Tushi's tooth tent, Tushi gathered a group of generals and tribal leaders.

Tu Shi said: "Now that the Qiuzi Tang Army is frequently mobilized, I am afraid that the war will break out, and we must prepare immediately." ”

The Great Elder said: "Great Khan, we still don't have enough food and grass for a year, what should we do if the war starts?" ”

Tu Shi thought about it seriously and said: "Although we have a large number of men and horses, but it is a matter of the survival of the tribe, I decided to let my younger brother He Lu take his clan and 150,000 soldiers and horses to the west first, on the one hand, we can explore the way for us, if it is easier to go to the west, once the war with the Tang army is eroded, we will immediately go west; If the war goes well, then let them go and raise food for us. ”

"Great Khan, the war is about to start, how can the subordinate brother be a coward and leave you, the subordinate brother swears to live and die with you, let us defeat the Tang army together."

Tu Shi walked in front of a young man, this is his younger brother He Lu, Tu Shi held He Lu's shoulders with both hands, and said solemnly: "He Lu, you are not a coward, you are leading the people to find the light, listen to He Lu, you take the people all the way to the west and don't look back, if the war goes well, I will send someone to find you, if it doesn't go well-alas!" I will also go to you, hoping that you will lead your people to find you a safe place. ”

After speaking, he said to the other tribes: "If there are those who are willing to stay and fight side by side with Tushi, I welcome, and if there are those who are willing to follow Helu, I will not force it, because whether it is to the east or the west, the road ahead needs us to pave it with courage and blood, in order to ask you to work together with one heart and one mind, you know, the lone wolf will die soon if he leaves the wolf pack." ”

Tu Shi is obviously not confident in the current war, after all, the Tang Army's new weapons have not yet been explored, this is a thorn in his heart, always rest assured, although the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is conceited, but not to let the 100,000 army give him a gift in vain, this battle is only afraid of slim, I heard that the Tang Dynasty has been harvested for more than ten consecutive years, this strategic reserve is not at all comparable to his Tushi, as for Tubo is not much better than him, the plateau has been killing for many years.

As for the Wei Room and Goguryeo, they are more than enough to defend it, and expecting them to attack the Tang army is not much different from sending people away.

After Tu Shi's words were finished, the tent fell into deep thought, and Tu Shi saw that no one was moving, and said loudly: "Those who are willing to follow Helu are on the right, and those who want to stay are on the left, hurry up, there is not much time left for us." ”

Elder Tuyuhun said tragically: "I am willing to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to follow the Khan, and I also ask Prince Helu to be kind to my people, please." ”

With the Great Elder as an example, the other ministries also took immediate action, all of them left a part of the elite soldiers, and the others followed Helu to the west, and the whole clan almost didn't go, and they didn't want to or dare, at this time, which tribe dared to only consider themselves and not others, but I was afraid that what was waiting for him would be a sudden thunder strike.

In this way, there are more than 5 million people of various tribes who follow Helu to the west, and there are more than 200,000 strong people, so that even if they go to the west and encounter a strong enemy, they will have the strength to fight.

If the Tang army has no rear hand, these 200,000 elites are enough to enter Chang'an, if there is any back hand, even if another 100,000 horses are left, it will not help, it will only increase casualties.

The decision has been decided, the Turks commanded the men and horses to act immediately, and the millions of people were relatively slow to act, and it was already five days after the complete separation, at this time Li Jing had already led the army to set up a position behind the Turshi.

Originally, Hou Junji asked for an immediate attack, but Li Jing disagreed, because the goal of forcing the Turks to the west by force had been achieved, and the people who stayed behind were nothing more than unwilling.

At present, the intention of Tibet on the plateau is still unclear, and Qiuci is far away from the interior, so it is difficult to replenish soldiers, so it is not advisable for the side to suffer too many casualties. In order to solve the shortage of soldiers and horses in Qiuci, Gao Buer compressed the garrisons in various parts of the Western Regions to the extreme, and gathered an additional 15,000 men and horses in Qiuci, all of which were supplemented to Li Jing.

Since the Tang army appeared behind him, Tu Shi has been personally in front of the battle and confronted the Tang army. Although Li Jing did not order the army to attack immediately, he ordered the sappers to plant mines in front of the two armies, and Tu Shi saw the Tang army digging a pit in the ground and burying a round black thing in it, I don't know what it means, but seeing that the Tang army had no intention of attacking, he didn't do anything else, and waited for the clansmen to stay away.

The two armies confronted each other until the next day, and Tu Shi estimated that the people had gone far enough, and began to mobilize for war: "Warriors, in order to sincerely get the blessing of our great Kunlun God, I have dedicated my most beautiful woman to the Kunlun God. ”

At this time, several wizards carried a large steamer, and in it was placed a Turkic beauty who had stripped naked, and it was creepy to look closely, and the woman was actually steamed. This move greatly stimulated the officers and men of the Turkic coalition army.

Li Jing on the opposite side scolded: "Brute! ”
