Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2116
Land sales in Xiliang are busy.

But at this time, the situation in Turkic territory was not good.

Last year, a snowstorm broke out in Turkic, so that many cattle and sheep froze to death. Turkic had no choice but to attack Yumen Pass under the leadership of their Khan Ashina Helu.

After capturing Yumen Pass, they plundered Yumen Pass and started grazing on the grasslands in Yumen Pass, which allowed their Turkic people to overcome this difficulty.

But what they didn't expect was that since this summer, there has been a severe drought on their grassland, and it is still dry in autumn.

The grass is withered and yellow, the cattle and sheep have no grass to eat, and none of them have enough water to drink, let alone the cattle and sheep.

On the grassland, it is now a scene of mourning.

On the side of the Turkic King City, Ashina Helu had retreated from Yumen Pass after the defeat, but on the other side of Yumen Pass, he had arranged [-] troops to guard there.

In his opinion, it is basically impossible for Qin Tian to conquer Yumen Pass with only a few soldiers and horses, so he is not very worried about the matter of Yumen Pass.

And after he came back, the situation on the grassland made him very anxious.

"Your Majesty Khan, some people on the grassland died of thirst again today, and even more cattle and sheep died. It hasn't rained on the grassland all this time. What should we do?"

"Your Majesty Khan, we can't survive anymore, we can only continue to work hard."

"That's right, plunder, we can only plunder."

For these nomads, once they cannot survive, they will use the oldest method to keep themselves alive, which is to plunder, kill others, and keep themselves alive.

For them, when the danger comes, all other morality is bullshit, they just want to survive.

Ashina Helu's eyes were fixed, and he naturally knew that the Turks had no other better way, except to plunder.

He nodded: "That's right, we Turks must survive. We must plunder for our people, our families and children. We must let them survive."

Children and family members are very important to these Turkic men. For these family members and children, let them work hard, and their brows will not even frown.

"Plunder, plunder..."

"Plunder, plunder..."

The leaders of a group of Turkic tribes shouted loudly, they are now like hungry wolves going crazy, looking for prey.

However, after everyone shouted so loudly, Ashina Helu poured a basin of cold water on them.

"Everyone, plundering must be plundered, but can we plunder Datang's territory?"

This question made everyone shut up. In Liangzhou City, they suffered a disadvantage. They are not Qin Tian's opponents. If they go to Liangzhou City again, will they have the same experience?

But in this world, there will never be a shortage of people who persevere.

Soon, a tribal leader stood up and said: "Your Majesty Khan, I heard that Liangzhou City has a bumper harvest this year. The corn and peanuts they produce are very high in yield and have a special taste. It’s not bad, facing such a good thing, isn’t it a pity that we don’t grab it?”

After this person finished speaking, the others didn't follow suit. The Great Tang was a pain they couldn't describe. They really didn't have the guts to attack Liangzhou City. In their opinion, if they could hold the Yumen Pass, it was already very good.

"I heard that Qin Tian has recruited more than 1 soldiers and horses. Now there are [-] soldiers and horses in Liangzhou City. We Turks can mobilize tens of thousands to attack. If we don't have [-] or [-], we may not be able to attack them?"

[-] to [-] soldiers and horses are too much for them, they can't mobilize so many soldiers and horses.

Because once so many soldiers and horses were dispatched to attack Liangzhou City, their grassland would become empty. If Qin Tian's people attacked the grassland at this time, they would not even have the ability to protect themselves.

Qin Tian had done this kind of thing before, so they had to guard against it.

"Your Majesty Khan, it's not time for us to take revenge. We should first find a way to help our people and clansmen tide over the difficulties, so we should find some good places to attack. Well, let them go first."

"That's right, I think the countries in the Western Regions are pretty good. Why don't we attack the Western Regions? We only need [-] soldiers and horses to destroy a country. After destroying them, our Turkic disaster will be relieved."

"That's right. The countries in the Western Regions are not very strong. If we want to destroy a country, there is no problem."

"........."

Everyone felt that they should attack the Western Regions and temporarily give up their hatred with Datang.

Ashina Helu's eyes narrowed for a moment, and then he nodded: "Everyone is right, the top priority is to alleviate the disaster of our Turks as soon as possible, then let's attack the countries in the Western Regions first."

As he said that, Ashina Helu glanced at the crowd and said, "Molik, how about you lead [-] soldiers and horses to attack the Western Regions?"

Molik is a rare general in their Turks, with outstanding abilities, and he is deeply trusted by Ashina Helu. After hearing Ashina Helu's words, he immediately complied without hesitation.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty Khan, the general will destroy a small country in the Western Regions as soon as possible, and plunder all their food and money, so that we Turks can tide over this difficulty."

Ashina Helu still believed Molik's words. He nodded and said, "Okay, this matter should not be postponed. You should hurry there as soon as possible. Also, at the Yumen Pass, send someone to pass the news to General Fulu." Xin, when we attack the countries in the Western Regions, Qin Tian will probably send troops to attack Yumen Pass, so he should be careful."

Qin Tian is a person who will not give up opportunities. He grows corn for the purpose of raising soldiers, to fight the Turks and take back their Yumen Pass. If the Turks go to war with the Western Regions, then for Qin Tian, It's a great opportunity.

Therefore, on the Yumen Pass side, one must be prepared.

After Ashina Helu finished speaking, someone immediately took orders and sent a message to Fulu at Yumen Pass.

Turkic soldiers began to mobilize, and soon, [-] soldiers and horses were assembled, and after the [-] soldiers and horses were assembled, they rushed to the countries of the Western Regions.

The closest Western Region country to their Turks is the Cheshi Kingdom. The Cheshi Kingdom's military strength is not very strong, only about [-] soldiers and horses, but their combat effectiveness is not as good as the Turks, and it can even be said to be far inferior to the Turks.

In a war, the Turks have a great chance of winning.

Molik took [-] soldiers and horses, and rushed directly to the country of Che Shi.
