Chapter 909: Can We Only Wait for Death?
This old man's words, Zhenzhu Khan attaches great importance to it, because he is the only person here who has profound knowledge, the other party used to be under Jieli's account, but it was not reused, and later after Jieli was exterminated by the Tang Dynasty, Jieli's tribe naturally belonged to the rule of Zhenzhu Khan.
And this old man has something to do with Pearl Khan, and many of his suggestions have played a decisive role in Pearl Khan.
"Then can we only wait until Datang does something to us?" Pearl Khan felt a little sad.
"Khan, also, don't forget, for example, the Khibi Department, which belongs to our Xue Yantuo's Tiele Tribe, may not be of the same mind as us. He Li, who is stubborn and stubborn, is the general of Li Shimin's loyal ministers. There is also Ashinadur who have a very strong influence on the tribes under the command of the original Jieli under our name. The old man spoke again.
Zhenzhu Khan was a little helpless, he knew that what this old man said was right, these tribes all lived in Wuchuan and other places nomadic, that is, the place closest to the Tang Dynasty, if Xue Yantuo rebelled with the Tang Dynasty, their tribes really might not be able to do it.
At least he knew that as a general of the Tang Dynasty, it was absolutely impossible for Qi He Li, Stubborn Thinking Force, and Ashina Dur, who had already made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, to rebel against the Tang Dynasty.
For a moment, he felt a little lost and didn't know what to do.
"I wonder if you have any suggestions?" Zhenzhu Khan looked at the old man and spoke.
"I don't know, Khan. Now you are the biggest khan of the Xue Yantuo Ministry, but I think that the words of this envoy are either alarmist or true, but in any case, I think that if you don't take the initiative to resist the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty should not take the initiative to attack you. The old man spoke.
"I see." Pearl Khan sighed.
In fact, he really didn't have the courage to resist the Tang Dynasty, otherwise, when Ju Wentai came over, he wouldn't have been so frightened that he immediately wrote to Li Shimin to show his loyalty, but now you see, what happened to Ju Wentai? Not to mention that the entire Gaochang has become the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the Ju family is gone.
"Let's observe the outcome of the war between the Western Turks and the Tang Dynasty first, there is still a large amount of land in Yibidulu, and he is not as easy to be eliminated as Tuyuhun." Pearl Khan sighed, he couldn't just make a decision because of the other party's words.
If he was that kind of person, he would have made this decision a long time ago, and he would not have waited until today.
……
More than a month ago, An Xinggui led 20,000 Tang cavalry and 20,000 Turkic cavalry to raid the royal tent of Yibi in winter.
Yi Bi Lu did not expect that the Tang Dynasty and Yu Lilu would march in winter, and in the winter grassland, if they did not carry enough grain and grass, they would only die if they were lost in the grassland.
However, the army of the Tang Dynasty and the army of the Great Tang Dynasty directly arrived at their king's tent like a divine soldier descending from the sky, and attacked it by surprise and directly wiped out Yibi Lu.
After the fall of Yibidulu, all the remaining tribes of the Western Turks surrendered to the Emperor, and An Xinggui also led the Tang army to retreat to the foot of the Western Kunlun Mountains.
Of course, only Li Ke can answer his doubts, in order to completely exterminate the Western Turks, Li Ke has come up with a lot of technologies far beyond this era, not to mention beef jerky and the like, this technology is not difficult, it is nothing more than air-dried meat.
In addition, Li Ke also asked them to carry compressed biscuits, which Li Ke took out from the air-raid shelter in his warehouse, and the reserves in it were enough for tens of thousands of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty to eat for several months.
Anyway, these things are of little use to Li Ke.
Although there are words on the compressed biscuits, because they are strategic reserves, there are only simple names and reserve words for compressed biscuits, and the production date formula and the like are all on the outside carton packaging.
Li Ke didn't take it out at all.
Naturally, these compressed biscuits could not be provided to the Turks, but they were only provided to the Tang soldiers, just in case they were allowed to eat. Under normal conditions, they can eat jerky and fight directly.
Because of their extremely small size and ability to provide a lot of heat to the human body, these compressed biscuits are life-saving when they are provided to them.
So whether it was An Xinggui or the generals and soldiers below, although everyone carried four packs of compressed biscuits, they were basically useless.
Because the journey was really smooth.
Although there is no fresh grass in the grassland in winter, as long as it is not a blizzard, the war horses can still barely feed on the dry grass in the case of continuous travel, and there is no problem for at least a month, and after a month, as long as the grain is replenished, it can be fed back again.
The war horses of the Turks basically spend the winter in this way, but try not to use war horses for a long time in winter, and the damage to the horses is also huge.
This is also the reason why Yibi Lu thinks that it is impossible for the Tang Dynasty and the Uri to attack in winter.
When he received the news, Li Ke also breathed a sigh of relief, although he said that he was confident, but after all, it was not an absolute advantage, after all, Wang Mang back then actually had an absolute advantage, but some irresistible factors were really outrageous.
Now that he has got the best result, Li Ke is relieved, he is very old, even if he rules the Western Turks, for the Western Turks, he will not be able to rule for long.
And Li Ke is indeed not prepared to deal with the loss of profits, the reason is also very simple, the Western Turks are further west of Persia, Byzantium and other countries, if the Western Turks are destroyed at that time, then the Tang Dynasty will face it directly.
This is not a good result, sometimes it is very useful to open a few trumpets, or to approve a few vests, at least Monobe Murashita is doing very well now, and when the time comes, whether it is Ashina Shilu or Li Ke, it will be useful.
After the policy of the Western Turks came to an end, the next step was to start building cities on the western border of the Tang Dynasty, and after these cities were built, the main strategic purpose of the Tang Dynasty would also turn to the north.
However, the demise of Yibi Lu is estimated to intensify the rebellion of Xue Yantuo, how the Tang Dynasty in this world should take this step, Li Ke is actually not very clear, the current situation of the Tang Dynasty is completely different from history, and Li Ke has no meaning to learn from.
The enemy is not a puppet, they will make different choices because of the existence of Datang.
However, Li Ke thought about it, many of the generals of the Tang Dynasty have been in Chang'an recently, and Li Ke felt that he should talk to them.
