Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1423 Hou Junji's Waiting

Qin Tian's original idea had two intentions.

The first is to weaken Xue Yantuo's strength by asking for a huge amount of dowry. Xue Yantuo used money to support Datang, and they will definitely become poorer and poorer. When a country is poor, it is much easier to eliminate them.

Another purpose is to intensify Xue Yantuo's internal conflicts.

Now that Xue Yantuo's domestic war has started, Qin Tian's idea has taken effect.

With the idea taking effect, it will be much easier for Datang to destroy Xue Yantuo.

And when the battle broke out on Xue Yantuo's side, Hou Junji came with [-] Tang troops on a long journey.

From Chang'an City to Xue Yantuo, one has to go through deserts and grasslands.

The hardships along the way are indescribable.

If you are not careful, you may get lost in the desert and die.

The [-] Tang soldiers finally came to the grassland after going through many hardships.

On the grassland, the Tang army did not continue to advance. They needed to know some news about Xue Yantuo before making a strategy.

If Xue Yantuo's Zhenzhu Khan was furious after hearing the news and wanted to fight Datang, then he, Hou Junji, could immediately lead troops to fight Xue Yantuo.

If not, then they have to be careful lest they get a reputation for being a bully to their neighbours.

There is also a reason to fight other countries.

Hou Junji's soldiers and horses were stationed on the grassland.

A few days later, spies rushed to report.

"General, in Xue Yantuo's country, other tribes gathered together and fought with Zhenzhu Khan. Now their battle has not yet been decided. However, the other tribes hate Zhenzhu Khan so much that they would kill them. Zhenzhu Khan may find it difficult to control Xue Yantuo."

Hearing that there was a war in Xue Yantuo's country, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Hou Junji's mouth.

With the war, Xue Yantuo naturally has no time to fight with him in the Tang Dynasty.

"Okay, pay attention to Xue Yantuo's news at any time, and report it as soon as there is news."

Hou Junji was not in a hurry to use troops against Xue Yantuo. Now that Xue Yantuo's tribe was fighting with Zhenzhu Khan, it was a good time to weaken Xue Yantuo.

Hou Junji was waiting. Although he was very excited, he was the most patient at this moment.

Among the many heroes in Chang'an City, he is already a very conspicuous one, and he is also very good at fighting in the Tang Dynasty, but he can't be said to be credited.

This makes him very angry at times.

He has always wanted to find a few to make a great contribution to go back, and for a country like their Tang Dynasty, the greatest contribution is nothing more than the achievement of expanding the territory and destroying the country.

Now, he has a great opportunity to kill Xue Yantuo, and he doesn't want to let it go.

If you don't want to miss such a good opportunity, you must be patient.

Just have to wait.

At the end of summer on the prairie, the weather has gradually turned cold. The soldiers are waiting on the prairie. They must make contributions after traveling thousands of miles to come here. Otherwise, what is the meaning of their trip?

Everyone was very excited and were waiting for Hou Junji's order.
-
In a blink of an eye, it was already autumn.

The coolness of the grassland in early autumn came a little early, but also a little urgent.

The soldiers occasionally felt a chill at night on the grassland.

The news from Xue Yantuo's side came from time to time, it was nothing more than Zhenzhu Khan and those tribes fighting each other, and there was a winner or loser.

But Hou Junji, the falcon, was still waiting for his food.

Today's Xue Yantuo's military strength is much weaker. Although he, Hou Junji, has [-] troops, he still has the possibility and confidence to destroy Xue Yantuo.

However, even though he had the strength to destroy Xue Yantuo, Hou Junji at this time did not find a good excuse to send troops against Xue Yantuo.

Their Tang Dynasty regretted their marriage, and now they are going to attack Xue Yantuo again, how chilling it is.

There must be a plausible reason.

This reason is not easy to find.

It wasn't until the autumn wind was getting stronger that this reason finally appeared.

The combined strength of Xue Yantuo's various tribes is still huge. Although Zhenzhu Khan is also very powerful, after such a long-term consumption, he is really no match for those tribal leaders.

Therefore, in the latest battle, under the leadership of Qi Qiha, Xue Yantuo's tribal leader broke through the royal city of Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Khan.

Zhenzhu Khan was defeated, so he could only flee in a hurry with his troops.

Today's Zhenzhu Khan's strength has been damaged, and he is unable to subdue Wangcheng at all. He will either go into exile or be wiped out by the rebels.

But he doesn't want to see either of those endings happen to him.

"Your Majesty Khan, what should we do now?"

"Your Majesty Khan, are we going to become homeless dogs like this?"

"........."

Those who followed Zhenzhu Khan didn't want to see this result. Zhenzhu Khan hesitated for a long time, and said: "The Tang army has been eyeing me at the border of Xue Yantuo. If I can get the help of the Tang army, maybe I can regain power. After that, I will fight with the Tang State. I, Xue Yantuo, can only submit to them even more."

In Zhenzhu Khan's view, this choice of his is a bit like drinking poison to quench thirst, but he seems to have no other better choice.

If he submits to Datang, he can continue to be Xue Yantuo's Khan. If he doesn't surrender, then Zhenzhu Khan can only be a bereaved dog, and he will be killed at some point.

After saying this, the other subordinates looked at each other, although some were aloof and arrogant, but in the face of such a general situation, they really had no other choice.

"Send someone to contact the general of the Tang army and ask him to come and rescue us."

After Zhenzhu Khan finished speaking, envoys went to Hou Junji's barracks, and Hou Junji had also received the news from the grassland.

Hearing that Zhenzhu Khan was willing to surrender to Tang Dynasty and pay tribute every year, Hou Junji sneered. What he wanted was not these, what he wanted was the whole Xue Yantuo.

He wants to divide Xue Yantuo's territory into the territory of Datang.

However, Hou Junji still agreed to Zhenzhu Khan's request, because now he needs a reason to intervene in Xue Yantuo's state affairs.

As for how he will deal with Zhenzhu Khan after he wiped out the soldiers and horses of other tribes, that is another matter.

"Okay, go back and tell you Zhenzhu Khan, I will lead troops and help him defeat those tribal leaders."

These words were what Zhenzhu Khan's envoy wanted to hear the most. After hearing this, he didn't think about it, and quickly agreed, and hurried back to Xue Yantuo's country with his own people.

Hou Jun gathered here and summoned Tang Jun, and shouted: "Men of the Tang Dynasty, you have the opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious service. Give me a good fight. After returning to Beijing, your rewards will be indispensable."

"Kill the enemy, kill the enemy..."

"Kill the enemy, kill the enemy..."
