Tuyuhun's plight was not worthy of sympathy, when their Great Elder led the delegation to leave Chang'an City, the officials of Honglu Temple were sincere in their retention.

It's a pity that the Great Elder at that time decided that the Tang Dynasty was not enough to provide them with long-term peace and stability, and the Western Turkic Ashina family, which seemed to be closer in terms of geography and more ruthless in its means, was a more worthy object to please.

If Liang Baoyu was to judge Elder Tuyuhun's behavior, it would be impossible to describe it with words like wall grass or the sorrow of his own weakness.

To put it bluntly, whether it was the Great Elder or the others in Tuyuhun, they finally made such a choice entirely because in their impression, offending Datang might still be able to let their clan continue to live, it was nothing more than a difficult life.

If you don't please the Western Turks ruled by the Ashina family, what awaits you and your people may be a sharp scimitar and a cruel punishment for cutting grass and roots......

Judging from Liang Baoyu's popular and straightforward concept, leaving such an impression on Tuyuhun is completely because the Tang Dynasty soldiers galloping on the grassland are too merciful.

A slight comparison between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks can prove the correctness of Liang Baoyu's view.

Geographically, it seems that the territory of the Western Turks and Tuyuhun is more similar, adhering to the rules that have been passed down on the grassland for thousands of years, although the tribes and bloodlines are different, but the concept is closer, but in fact, Tuyuhun is really suitable for the border of the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

And the army of the Tang Dynasty's Western Expedition can completely kill a horse pistol, easily destroy Tuyuhun, and let them disappear into the dust and smoke of history like the Qiang people who once existed in the land of Longyou.

Even in such a situation, Tuyuhun still did not hesitate to offend the Tang Dynasty, but spent a huge price to curry favor with the Western Turks, who originally had no idea about them......

To put it bluntly, the impression left by the Tang people on these foreigners is too amiable, and if something happens, admit your mistake, apologize, and say some nice words, you can be forgiven.

Even if the posture is humble enough and the attitude is deferential enough, there may be some additional rewards and benefits.

The long-standing inherent impression does help the Tang Dynasty to use some diplomatic means to spread its powerful influence in some cases.

But at present, in this chaotic grassland, it has become a fatal misleading for some tribes when making their own fateful choices!

is still the same sentence, Hu people are all cheap, and they don't remember to eat or fight!

Today, unlike in the past, if the world is peaceful, Tuyuhun makes this kind of behavior, which is nothing more than being remembered by the civil officials of the Tang Dynasty, and punished through a series of means such as restricting trade.

But now it's different, the Tang Dynasty's military array is placed on the grassland, and Liu Hongji, an old hooligan who has a large area of wasteland in Longyou, is in a hurry because he doesn't have enough labor to work, and his eyes are red!

There are more than one or two households in the large wasteland under the Longyou circle, and with the continuous implementation of the policy of developing Longyou, the originally slightly rigorous audit system has been slowly loosened.

At the beginning, it was only the emerging nobles of the Xungui Jiangmen who obtained the qualifications for enclosure, but those family gates who have been inherited for thousands of years cannot be unmoved in the face of such a big piece of fat.

These family gate valves have already mastered the ability to penetrate the seams, and even some slippery guys have been mixed with the emerging Xungui Group at the beginning of the establishment of the Tang Dynasty.

The temptation of starting another family business in Longyou, few wealthy families can resist, and under repeated operations, the family valves who now occupy a large piece of wasteland in Longyou are not a few.

As a result, these flourishing families, like the Xungui Group before them, had to start worrying about labor......

Tuyuhun died by himself, was designed by an unscrupulous gentleman, and was directly on the blacklist of the Western Turks, such a good opportunity, not to mention the old hooligan Liu Hongji, even the civil officials who belonged to different camps in Chang'an City couldn't sit still!

A group of guys who are worried about not having enough labor and are in a hurry to get angry and their eyes are red, bursting out with rare efficiency!

At the same time that the official document of the Ministry of War was in the hands of Liu Hongji, the Duke of Kui, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty had already appeared in the territory of the Western Turks.

The envoy of the Tang Dynasty reaffirmed the friendship between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turkic Ashina family, and once again emphasized that the Tang army's actions on the grassland were not aimed at the Ashina family, and the Tuyuhun at both ends of the snake and mouse not only blasphemed the wolf god believed in by the Ashina family, but also committed heinous crimes during the mission to the Tang Dynasty......

The rhetoric in diplomatic rhetoric is nothing more than a fig leaf, it doesn't matter what you say, you just need to convey the meaning.

Originally, Datang thought that Tuyuhun was protected by the Ashina family, and for the sake of friendship between the two sides, Datang chose forbearance and restraint for Tuyuhun's offense, but now Tuyuhun dares to blaspheme the wolf god believed in by the Ashina family, and dares to anger the majesty of the Ashina family, so Datang will decide to no longer use forbearance and restraint!

The Ashina family, which has always been not so stable because of the bloodline dispute, has been fighting openly and secretly for the seven wolf ornaments given by the wolf god during this time, and Tuyuhun's offense made them restrain a little and the process of summoning the wolf god with their seven wolves, and now Datang actually expressed his willingness to punish Tuyuhun on the other side of the grassland for them......

There is no reason not to agree to this kind of good thing of naan cakes falling from the sky!

What's more, Tuyuhun itself does not belong to the tribes of the Western Turks, and before the Tang Dynasty started, he specially sent a messenger to inform him, which is worthy of being a good friend and has given the Ashina family enough face!

What's more, Datang doesn't need the Ashina family to send troops to help fight, spend Datang's money to do the affairs of my Ashina family, and give enough face, what is there not to be satisfied with?

Immediately, in the absence of Tuyuhun, the Ashina family and the envoys of the Tang Dynasty decided the future fate of this tribe.

"Pass the order, all arms for war!"

In the military tent, Liu Hongji, the Duke of Kui, was in high spirits, "Tell the sons and daughters that we will have a grand hunt before winter!" ”

Without warning, 12,000 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty changed the direction of their troops and went straight into Tuyuhun's territory!

In the past, the rules of judging military merits by killing the enemy in a battle have quietly changed, the commander has an order, the dead are not valuable, and the living Tuyuhun is valuable, especially the young strong laborers!

Entering the Tuyuhun territory at the same time as the army were thousands of Guanzhong veterans armed to the teeth, and the elite of these families were no worse than the old hooligan Liu Hongji's subordinates in terms of combat effectiveness!

Fortunately, the veterans in these passes did not participate much in the war, and just stayed on the sidelines and waited to receive prisoners that were difficult for their own army to handle...... Marching and fighting with tens of thousands of prisoners must be a burden, and we can be regarded as sharing the worries of the imperial court!
