The sun was not the only thing shining on the grassland at noon in autumn. The tall grass absorbed the heat and made people sweat non-stop.
Mo Ji led his people to the northwest. The people who had just moved here had to drag their tired bodies and continue their journey.
They needed to negotiate with the other tribes, or fight.
The distance was definitely not as good as home, but it was better than death.
The scouts continued to run around, but they didn't go too far. They maintained a distance of 30 miles. There were scouts in the middle to keep in contact with each other in case they were ambushed by the Tang soldiers.
The four 100-man teams that went missing yesterday had gathered together and were captured.
The 400 people looked at the Winged Knights report with mixed feelings.
They wanted to live, but they felt that they had lost their backbone by not fighting to the death.
The Heavenly Soldiers beside them comforted them, "No one can break out of a 100-man team surrounded by 3,000 to 4,000 people. If I'm surrounded, I'll surrender if you promise not to kill me."
"If you're still useful, you might be able to see your family in the future. It's not worth it to die in vain without being able to kill an enemy. "
"You'll have nothing if you die. Who can remember the name of a small soldier?"
The captives beside him said. They were afraid that the captives would take things too hard. Dead enemies were worthless. Living enemies had high military merits.
They told the Later Turkic captives to surrender. If it were them, they would never surrender. If they surrendered, they would never be able to go back. If they went back, they would die.
If the Tang dynasty knew that they had surrendered, their families would be ignored and ostracized.
The captives were in a better mood. They just wanted to find a reason. When they heard it from others, they had a reason.
They really couldn't fight yesterday. When they found the Tang soldiers, there were no gaps around them and the Tang soldiers had explosives.
They could break out of the encirclement with explosives. How could they break out of the encirclement if they scattered?
They looked at the telegram and understood why they were surrounded. This thing could easily contact other teams from far away.
"Gone, gone. Mo Ji led his people to the northwest. They went together." A Tang soldier came to report.
They looked at the traces and the direction of the Later Turkic scouts. They couldn't enter the encirclement of the Later Turkic scouts unless they wanted to fight.
The area within 30 miles of the Later Turkic team was covered by the scouts.
The scouts of the Tang dynasty could still see them when they were in hot air balloons. Otherwise, there was no other way. They could not use drones, let alone satellites.
The Winged Knights sent this news to Chang 'an along with the information that the Turks had been completely captured. Afterwards, he followed the Turks to see where they were going.
When the telegram was sent to the Li Family Zhuangzi, everyone was eating. They had just sent chestnut chicken and chestnut stewed pork ribs to the little fellow.
In order to take care of the children's taste, the chicken thighs and ribs were braised first, followed by chestnuts, which tasted sweet.
Song De handed over a page of numbers and stood by the side, waiting.
Li Yi glanced at it and translated it.
"They continued to migrate. Just as they finished migrating, they hurried on their journey again. It seems that the Desire Valley wants to give up their original place. In addition, our men have successfully captured four 100-man scout teams. "
Li Yi took a mouthful of rice after saying that. He liked to eat like this.
Princess Yongmu didn't eat rice with water. She soaked the rice with juice and ate it with relish.
"Where will they go?" Song Jing looked up and found a big map on the wall.
"It should be Xiaohai. The Huihe Ligan tribe is there. Xiaohai freezes in winter. The ice layer is very thick and suitable for fishing.
There are many trees around. They go there in advance to harvest autumn grass, cut down trees, build houses with the soil of the small seaside, and build kang beds. They can survive the winter.
They need more fur, fire channels in the livestock pen, and change their way of life.
The local Huihe surname is under the jurisdiction of the Northern Protectorate of the Tang dynasty. It used to be called the Hanhai Commandery.
Fu Difu is the leader of Huihe, our deputy of the West River Military Advisor and Chishui Army Commander. "
Li Yi got up, picked up the pointer by the wall, and pointed to Lake Baikal.
This place belonged to the Tang dynasty and was governed by the Huihe people, just like Su Lu's Tuqi and Western Turkic's Ashina Xian.
"Does the Huihe Ligan tribe have the power to fight?" Li Dan listened and watched, feeling comfortable.
He liked Li Yi who, no matter when, would immediately give all the answers as long as there was a question.
He didn't need to send people to ask and check again. A telegram would come and tell you the local situation directly.
"A starving camel is still bigger than a horse. The Huihe Ligan territory is big, and the Huihe Ligan tribe is small. Xiaohai is not small at all.
The Huihe Ligan tribe will either migrate or be exterminated. They may also be asked to provide supplies by the Desire Valley. Both sides live in harmony.
What I mean is to move the Huihe Ligan tribe out. The Later Turks will go to their place, and they will go around to where the Later Turks are.
Everyone will change and use them as a barrier. We will plant potatoes and corn.
When we build the city, we will build them and slowly turn them into our people. We will teach them to learn the Tang dynasty's language and official language. "
Li Yi took the pointer and drew an arc, the escape route of the Huihe Ligan tribe, no, the migration route.
If they couldn't beat the Later Turks, what could they do if they didn't run? Send people over to fight?
They were still hoping to use the winter climate in the north to wear down the Later Turks, not to exterminate them.
"The Later Turks are hateful. I, Tubo, am willing to send troops to exterminate them."
He wanted to show off, even if he knew that he wouldn't mobilize the Tubo troops.
Li Yi curled his lips, "At first, they surrendered. In the end, they listened to Pei Yan and Pei Zilong's slanderous words and killed them. This resulted in the endless war."
"Alas!" Li Dan sighed. He was talking about his father, Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi.
When they were fighting the Later Turks, Ashina Funian had already surrendered. General Pei Xingjian agreed, saying that he could rest assured that he wouldn't kill him and that his people would be fine.
Ashina Funian trusted him, so he surrendered and went to Chang 'an.
In the end, one of the attendants at that time, Prime Minister Pei Yan, slanderously said that Li Zhi killed Ashina Funian.
Then, Ashina Gudulu rebelled and didn't wait to be killed?
Later, Wu Zetian succeeded the throne and found a reason to kill Pei Yan.
After killing eleven years, she beat up Ashina Gudulu's younger brother, Moxie.
At the same time, she told him that she wasn't Li Zhi and wouldn't kill him. Look, I killed Pei Yan, that bad guy.
Moxie surrendered with this reason, but he couldn't fight back at that time.
In fact, Wu Zetian killed Pei Yan to stabilize the regime. She said, "Is there anyone who is stubborn and can't control Pei Yan? Is there anyone who is from a noble family who can unite Xu Jingyi? Is there anyone who can command troops and generals, who can win every battle without fail? These three people are popular and are not beneficial to me. I can kill them.
These three people have high positions and are disobedient. If I don't kill you, who will I kill? It just so happens that you rebelled.
Yes, I forced you, Xu Jingyi, to rebel.
If you don't rebel, I will take away your power bit by bit and demote you.
You seized my power in the name of the Li Clan, and my son listened to you? If I don't deal with you, I will keep you? If my son listens to you and doesn't listen to me, I will kill him. "
Li Dan was too familiar with this situation. Now, Xiao Yi's power was higher than those three.
However, Xiao Yi didn't want to be the emperor and only wanted to be a son-in-law.
