After realizing that the sea of fire only burns the sorcerers, and does no harm to them as mortals.

The Turkic cavalry then moved away from the torches with their horses.

Seeing this, those noble generals were a little angry.

A large number of the nature gods worshipped have died, and now the wizards recruited from various tribes will not survive... Even the morale of the more than 100,000 cavalry troops was weakened.

Bad news followed.

Could it be that the heavens are really going to kill my Turks?

But it is undeniable that now they can do nothing but sigh.

No, the gods and wizards can't solve the enemy, can't they expect them to do anything, right?

Some people are as restless as ants on a hot pan.

If so, there is no divine protection.

On weekdays, it's okay, the scorching sun is in the sky, and there are warriors in the tribe to deter, those cannibalistic demons and evil spirits don't dare to approach, but at night, in the dead of night, the attack and defense are easy to attack.

If demons and evil spirits can still be artificially suppressed.

The mass loss of that sorcerer was a terrible loss for every Turkic tribe.

Because, these sorcerers not only undertake the duty of communicating with the gods, but they are also responsible for the medical treatment of the tribe, driving away demons, delivering life and death, measuring the celestial phenomena and inferring the days when the cold winter and heat are coming... The chores of the tribe, large and small, are closely related to them.

Because of this, a nomad can be without a tribal master, but not without a shaman.

Without the former, at most it will be decay, or it will become the embrace of others.

But without the knowledge of the wizards, they probably wouldn't have survived even a winter.

However, there are always some sober and clever ghosts in a group of people.

Watch the wizards turn to ashes in the torch.

Under the cover of the sea of fire, they commanded the warriors of their tribes to part ways with the large army and rushed in the opposite direction of spreading to the sea of fire.

Isn't it difficult to live without gods and wizards, then change to a mother with a woman, Datang is just right!

As for loyalty?

This term is a bit distant to the Turks ... After all, even though the Western Turks are entrenched in the Western Regions, they are still tribal nomads in nature, adhering to the rules of the jungle.

Whoever has the biggest fist is the head of the tribe, and among the many tribal leaders, the one with the hardest fist is their Turkic king.

This kind of atmosphere of the Son of Heaven, the strong soldiers and the strong live there,

So that the Turks do not need to be like Kyushu, under the leadership of a wise and martial monarch - civil and military masters, in order to stimulate the potential of this land.

When there was a king, the Turks were fierce wolves.

But even if the wolves are leaderless,

Each tribe, individually, is an independent fierce individual.

This is also why in the war with the Tang Dynasty, the Western Turks were defeated one after another, but once they avoided the military peak of the Tang Dynasty and left the Kyushu monster room, after coming to the Western Regions, they were like tigers entering the flock, fighting invincible opponents all over the world!

Of course, no matter how fierce the Western Turks are, they are now declining.

With the recent defeat and defeat in the battle with the Tang Dynasty, especially now after this battle, seeing that the Western Turks are gone, people's hearts are fluctuating.

At this time, the characteristics of the nomads are revealed,

The first thing they thought of was not how to repair the broken ship of the Western Turks.

Instead, I wanted to do everything I could to jump out of this ship and get a new one... Anyway, the Son of Heaven is strong and strong, so why not be the eagle dog minions of the Tang Dynasty?

Since this is the case, tnd, loyalty!

「......」

Originally, when they saw the Turkic cavalry rushing out of the sea of fire, the Tang army was still very excited, although the Turks could pass through the sea of fire intact, this unexpected situation made the Tang Dynasty

The soldiers were a little confused, but it was better to be able to fight than to watch from behind.

Beheading is a credit, and cutting two more can promote you to a marquis, or even a wife and a son!

But soon they couldn't laugh anymore.

I saw that the Turkic cavalry who rushed out of the sea of fire stopped their horses without running a few steps, and threw their weapons and bows on the ground in front of many Tang troops, and the Turkic nobles led by them rolled off their horses with swift movements.

threw away the saber in his hand at will, tied his hands with the silk handkerchief on his body, and came to the Tang army formation with a smile:

"The generals of the Tang Dynasty, don't release arrows, don't release arrows! The Western Turks have gone against the grain, and I, Ashlibik, have come to my senses and decided to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and today I will surrender with my warriors."

As he spoke, he raised his bound hands and continued, "If the generals need it, I, Ashlibik, can be the vanguard to help you persuade the other Turkic soldiers to lay down their arms... Of course, if you don't feel at ease, these warriors can all be tied up, obey the arrangement, and have no complaints!"

If it were a different dynasty, even if Ashlibic had the idea of surrendering, he would not dare to take such a risk.

Before he really made up his mind, he had to be tempted three times and twice, and if he was not really sure that the other party would not unload the mill and kill the donkey, he would not be at ease when he slept.

But on the other side is Datang. These concerns are unnecessary.

Among the countries that were defeated and destroyed by the Tang Dynasty before, there are still many Gentiles in high positions in the court of the Tang Dynasty, although they do not enter the center, but this treatment is enough for him to give up his concerns.

And just when the generals of the Tang Army were thinking about it with solemn faces.

In the midst of the fire, another group of cavalry, numbering only three or five thousand, ran out.

The joyful expression on the face of the Turkic nobleman led by him changed instantly, his gaze wandered back and forth, and finally stopped on Ashlibik's body, gritted his teeth and said, "I said that I couldn't find you in the sea of fire, and I thought you were burned to death, but I didn't expect... Lipik, that's how you treat the king's trust?"

"It's just a barbarian like me, what kind of cultured person are you pretending... If you really want to be worthy of the king, what are you doing here?" Ashlibic snorted disdainfully: "If you have the ability, don't say that you are here to surrender, be tough, for the sake of the king to attack the Tang Dynasty's military formation, then I will cut off your head to you without saying a word!"

As time passed, one after another, Turkic armies came out of the fire.

Pacifying the cavalry in the distance, the Turkic nobles heard this exciting news when they came forward to negotiate with the Tang army.

The later Turkic nobles looked at the second nobleman with playful eyes.

I am afraid that the world will not be chaotic!

Only when they fight, will the latecomers have a chance to catch up.

Being looked at by many eyes, the scalp of the Turkic nobles tingled: "I, you ......"

"Stop, this is not the place for you to quarrel!"

The general of the Tang Army had a calm face: "Since they are here to surrender, then everyone will write a letter, and after summarizing, it will be handed over to the marching commander-Lu Guogong, and the name of Grandpa Guo does not need to be introduced in the future."

Lu Guogong - Cheng bites gold.

As the commander of the crusade against the Western Turks, how could the Turkic nobles not know each other.

Hearing that their letters could appear in front of this person, the nobles present breathed a sigh of relief.

Then I heard the general of the Tang army continue: "Before the order is issued, you will first go to the city of Khotan and station, and Ashlibik will be the first to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, then the duty of care will be handed over to you, and you must not make trouble!"

The nobles present looked at the general expectantly, but the latter did not mean to speak again.

It was as if they had all been handed over to Ashlibik.

In the face of those jealous eyes, Ashlibike's mouth split with a smile, and he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, the general will definitely be optimistic about these Turkic barbarians!"

"Hmm!" The general nodded coldly, and after leaving more than 10,000 soldiers to assist in the management of these Turkic cavalry, he led the army to continue chasing the sea of fire.

......

watched the Tang army leave, and then turned around.

The flattering smile on Ashlibik's face was gone, replaced by a cold, murderous one.

"I don't care if you are sincere or forced by the situation, until the war situation is clear, it is better to stay obediently, otherwise I know you, and the saber in my hand will not know you!"

While explaining, Ashlibik ordered.

Let your cavalry surround the others, and escort an army of more than 50,000 cavalry with a configuration of 10,000 cavalry.

That's 50,000 young people.

Even though all the weapons were confiscated, the accompanying Tang army was still cautious and did not dare to relax in the slightest.

But Ashlibic and his cavalry didn't take it to heart at all, not only were they arrogant and domineering in their words, but they even kicked and beat people when they saw the slightest disobedience, and the Tang army accompanying them was terrified.

From beginning to end, let alone rioting, no one even said a word of resistance.

Seeing this, the accompanying Tang Jun also opened their eyes.

......

On the other side, the Western Turkic royal city.

In the palace of gold and silver ornaments, the angry gaze of the current Turkic king swept back and forth, and those who were swept by his eyes trembled, and at the same time, his already bowed head shrank into his arms, as if so that he would not be targeted by the figure on the throne.

The Turkic King rubbed his swollen forehead lightly, and he wanted to open his mouth to curse something, but finally sighed dejectedly.

No wonder the Turks who once roamed the steppes and the Western Regions will be reduced to the point they are now....

Together with this group of jackals, the Turks have been blessed by their ancestors to survive to this day.

Regaining the grassland is a luxury that can only be glimpsed in dreams.

His gaze skimmed over the civil and military officials who were all over the hall, and the eyes of the Turkic king fell on the monks of the Ming Sect.

On weekdays, these people can speak more than one another.

The Buddhas who boasted about them spared no effort, and all kinds of benefits were eager to be stuffed directly into their arms.

It seems that as long as the Turkic king agrees to make Mingjiao the state religion, he will be able to become a Buddha and go to the heavenly Buddha kingdom to enjoy the happiness of eternal life, and the Western Turks will once again pick up the glory of the past and defeat the fierce Tang army.

Now he was willing to let go, and he didn't need to pick up the glory of the past.

As long as the Buddha intervenes, drives back the gods of the Tang Dynasty, and keeps the existing land, he can offer everything for it.

But these monks talked about it left and right.

And don't answer positively.

Zoroastrianism has the same problem, once it comes to getting their gods to take action, they are hesitant and taboo.

Boy.

Only then did the Turkic king understand that whether it was Mingjiao or Zoroastrianism, both of them were blowing.

I knew you were such a waste, so why am I still stumbling with the Tang Dynasty in this barren land in the Western Regions, wielding a horsewhip to sweep Middle-earth and lay down a new Turkic empire?

Could it be that Datang can still keep chasing after him?

But now, it's too late.

Even if the gods of the Tang Dynasty retreated, after this battle, the wizards and the gods worshiped by the Turks themselves suffered heavy losses, and if they wanted to go west, the difficulty was very different from before.

After all, Mingjiao and fire worship are just blowing too much, and they are not pure waste.

What's more, will the gods of Datang retreat?

Probably not.

Just like the Tang people's thirst for land, after these years of observation, the Turkic king found that the gods of the Tang Dynasty were also particularly interested in plundering power, and only ate and did not vomit......

And the greedy Tang Dynasty gods and gods, their pace will not stagnate after the destruction of the Western Turks, Middle Earth, and even the land in the extreme west... In other words, as long as you are a neighbor with Datang, you must be prepared to be watched by this neighbor and even beaten.

He can see things thoroughly, and as a result, Mingjiao and these people who worship fire

I couldn't understand it.

Oh, stupid!

If you don't speak for my Turks today, when Middle-earth is destroyed tomorrow, there will continue to be people who will watch coldly, to the extreme west to be destroyed, and the land will be unified by the Tang Dynasty...

Unfortunately, he could not see this scene for the Turkic king, so he could only take the first step and wait for them in the netherworld.

However, despite the conjecture of the Turkic king, the general trend has become irreversible.

But since he is a king, how can he sit and wait for death.

Thinking about it, a shocked smile appeared on the Turkic king's face: "After thinking about it, this king's previous decision was still too hasty, and today he will issue another order to abolish all the existing status of the sorcerer, expel him from the country, and expel all the gods in the ancestors and temples from the Western Turkic Khanate.

From now on, our Western Turkic Khanate will worship Mingjiao as the state religion - Mani Buddha as the supreme god......

Listening to the order of the Turkic king, the weeping and decrepit wizard standing below him suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and an invisible force was withdrawn from his body, making the already old wizard's body even more rickety.

On the contrary to the old wizards, the monks of the Ming Sect suddenly boiled their luck.

Invisible forces stirred and intertwined in them.

After that, it turned into a wheel of light of different sizes and floated behind them, and the monk's robe on his body became bright...

Under the backdrop of the light wheel of the treasure clothes, the monks of the Ming Sect are all in a strict appearance....

In the past, the coveted position was in hand, but there was not the slightest look of joy and excitement on the faces of the monks.

Instead, they gritted their teeth and looked at the Turkic kings on the throne one by one, their faces distorted as if they were wicked.

And at this time, everyone in the palace felt that the sky above their heads suddenly darkened, and the golden carvings of the palace were a little dim......
