Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 917 The Prestige of the Empire in the Western Regions ([-])

Shi Luo Department.

It's hard to say who is the enemy in the Western Regions. Maybe everyone is good brothers today, eating the same roasted whole lamb, and tomorrow they will face each other with life and death.This kind of thing is not only very common, but very common.On the steppe, the Turks are wolves.In the Western Regions, Turks are still wolves.It's nothing more than changing to another place and continuing to be a wolf. The difference is that some people are lone wolves, and some people are pack wolves.

The Shi Luo tribe is now a lone wolf. Because of the war with other tribes before the strength, the Shi Luo tribe suffered a disastrous defeat. The strength of the entire tribe has plummeted, and the number of people who lead the bow is less than [-].Such a force is not enough for Shi Luobu to continue to survive in this vast land.The question before Tokirabe now is to live or die.

Survival means that they have to join other tribes, become subordinates, or even become expendable combat power in the hands of others, and it is the kind that does not feel distressed.But if they don't choose this path, they can only continue to be a lone wolf, living alone and struggling, which will bring a sense of precarious crisis.

If you choose to die, it is very simple. Continue to fight until the entire tribe is exhausted. In this way, everything will end.But obviously, the owner of Shiluobu didn't want to do this.He wants to live and keep enjoying.

Diezhi looked at the confidantes gathered in the tent, and said in a sad tone: "Although I don't want to say it, you have some understanding of Shi Luo's recent situation. If this continues, we will all die. The purpose of calling you today is to Let me ask you, next, what should we choose to do in order to keep the people of Shiluo tribe."

"Father, let's get out of here." said the eldest son Karma.

"Leave?" The second son, Qichabi, objected: "Leaving here, where else can we go. Brother, don't blame me for not reminding you, we used to have a good relationship with Chuyue and Zhiyi, but now we The strength is greatly damaged, if they want to give up the ranch, do you think they will let us go?"

"We are allies!" Karma said.

Tengchabi sneered and said, "Bullshit allies, when we were strong, everyone was willing to form an alliance with us. But now, we are no longer the past Shiluo, and the current Shiluo is just a wounded wolf. Here, the wounded wolf What is the end, I don't need to say more."

"That's just your one-sided opinion!" Karma said angrily: "If we don't leave here, we will be annexed by the Ministry of Secrets sooner or later. Only by leaving this dangerous place and finding a safe pasture to recuperate, can we have a chance to make a comeback and regain our strength. The glory of Shiluo Department."

Shit glory.

The confidantes in the tent slandered this statement one after another. Shi Luobu never had any talk of honor and honor, and only had the concept of glory when it was affiliated to the Ashina family.Now that they have broken away from the Ashina family to stand on their own, naturally they cannot mention the glory of the past, because that kind of glory does not belong to them.

What's more, now that Shi Luo is a wounded wolf, what's the use of mentioning how many beasts he killed in the past, it will only make those who have bad intentions towards them more excited.This is not talking about the glory of the past, here is only talking about the fist of the present!

Lunchabi didn't want to talk nonsense with this stupid elder brother Karma, he said to Diezhi: "Father, we must stay here now, if we leave at this time, it is equivalent to telling Chuyue and other departments that Shiluo is very weak now. In this way, they will definitely not let go to annex us. Everyone has been seriously injured this time, and we urgently need to replenish our strength. Each of us is both a hunter and a prey. We must not show our cowardice now!"

Diezhi thought for a moment, and felt that what Tchachabi said was very reasonable, so he hesitated and said: "We can continue to stay, and we may not be able to stop the Chumi Department. Besides, you also said that the Chuyue and other departments are in urgent need of replenishment. Sooner or later they'll come to us."

"We need reinforcements, father," Tchabi said.

"Where is there any reinforcements?" Karma said: "Chuchabi, don't dream, the whole western region is in chaos, and the major tribes are independent, who would be willing to help us. Besides, the other tribes are now in danger, why should they help us?" us."

"I'm not talking about other tribes, but Tang Jun!" Tchabi stared gloomily into Karma's eyes.Because of some well-known reasons, the relationship between these two brothers is very, very bad, and it has reached the point where they can't wait to kill each other.

After all, there is only one position of patriarch, and whoever takes the position will not make the other person completely surrender.That being the case, it is better to directly try to kill the other party.The matter of seizing the heir is very obscure in the Central Plains Dynasty, but it is a common thing in the grasslands.Because only the strongest wolf head is qualified to lead the wolf pack to survive and fight.On this point, Die Zhi, who knows everything by heart, has never said a word more.Because, back then, he also succeeded in inheriting all Shi Luo's property by killing his other brothers.

But now, the life-and-death struggle between the two sons, in his opinion, is nothing more than the recurrence of old events, and it is not worth making a fuss about.He also hopes that the stronger will win in the end, because only stronger people can better preserve the tribe.

However, upon hearing what Chchabi said, Diezhi still couldn't help frowning, and said, "I've actually considered what you said a long time ago. However, Tang Jun has never given any answer. It seems that they don't want to interfere." Our business."

"No." Tanchabi shook his head and said, "If the Tang army doesn't want to intervene, they won't sell us Tang Dynasty ordnance. They actually want to intervene, but they are not ready yet. Or they are still waiting, waiting for the first A collaborator willing to satisfy their appetite appeared."

Die Zhi narrowed his eyes, raised his hand and said, "Go on."

"Yes." With the encouragement of stacked branches, Qi Chabi talked eloquently: "In my opinion, Tang Jun is ready to end, but they haven't waited for a good opportunity. In other words, they are still watching the overall situation, waiting Tribes who are willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty appear, and then they will consider taking action. I guess, the generals on the side of the Tang Dynasty may not be able to decide who will win the final victory, so they choose not to respond to us for the time being."

"Since this is the case, it is even more impossible for Tang Jun to help a Shiluo tribe who is about to lose power. That's right, Qichabi." Jiemo said coldly.

Tchabi glanced at him, and continued to say to Diezhi: "Father, maybe we do not have the potential to be supported by the Tang Dynasty, but we are sincere. What's more, the general of the Tang army stationed in Gaochang is Su Lie. Before that, we dealt with this man."

Hearing this, his eyes lit up.Indeed, he had dealt with Su Lie before, it was the Gaochang mutiny that year.At that time, he also sold a face to Su Lie.Maybe, if I ask him for help this time, it may be successful?
A drowning person grabbing straw will also be regarded as a life-saving treasure, not to mention the invincible Tang Jun now.Almost after Qi Chabi explained the possible ways to do it, Die Zhi made up his mind to give it a try and see if he could get Su Lie's help.If Tang Jun is willing to help the Shi Luo Department, then absolutely no one here would dare to trouble the Shi Luo Department.

But the question is, will the other party remember what happened back then?
