Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2208 This is a great humiliation
The border between Turkic and Xiliang.

Under the leadership of Ashina Helu, the [-] Turkic soldiers and horses were already ready for battle.

And while they were waiting like this, Qin Tian was about to arrive here with his soldiers and horses.

In the Turkic military camp, a spy hurried over.

"Your Majesty Khan, Xiliang soldiers and horses are only fifty miles away from us. They will arrive here in two days."

After hearing the news, Ashina Helu's eyes narrowed slightly. The envoys he sent to Chang'an City haven't sent back the news yet. If they fought Xiliang like this, the situation might be bad.

After thinking about it, Ashina Helu nodded and said, "Go back fifty miles."

They have to wait for the news from Datang to come back before they can decide whether to fight Xiliang.

If Li Shimin of Datang agreed to their surrender, then there would be no need for them to fight Xiliang.

But if we fight ahead of time, unnecessary troubles will arise.

After Ashina Helu's order was issued, all the Turkic generals began to retreat. As long as they pushed like this and postponed the time to fight Xiliang, there would definitely be no problem.

The Turkic soldiers and horses retreated, and Xiliang quickly got the news.

"My lord, the Turkic soldiers retreated fifty miles after learning about our situation."

Hearing this news, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu were a little dazed, not understanding what was going on.

"What is this Turk trying to do? Since he is ready to fight, why did he retreat?"

"Yeah, maybe they're scared?"

"These Turkic people have always been stupid. Why do we have a little bit of a guess about what they did this time?"

Everyone was discussing, but Qin Tian was deep in thought and remained silent. He also felt strange, what was the situation that made Turkic choose to retreat?

Qin Tian frowned, and after a while, he suddenly froze, as if he remembered something.

"It seems that the Turks sent people to Chang'an City to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. If the Tang Dynasty accepted their surrender, they would naturally not have to fight us. Now that they are retreating, it must be their envoys. Haven't come back yet."

Qin Tian said such a sentence, and after he finished speaking, the others looked at each other and suddenly realized that this situation could explain Turkic's abnormal behavior.

"My lord, since the Turks are going to surrender to our Tang Dynasty, shall we still fight this battle?"

"Yeah, they've all surrendered, and we're still beating us up. I don't think we can do it."

"It's really disappointing. Has the Turk's courage become so small now, that he doesn't even have the courage to fight me in Xiliang?"

"I don't think they are timid, but just for expediency."

"The Turks are shameless, this must be their expedient measure."

"........."

Everyone was talking, and soon someone proposed to send troops.

"It doesn't matter whether the Turks surrender or not, as long as we don't receive orders from the imperial court, we can attack."

"That's right, that's right, attack the Turks and destroy them. After all, there is such an enemy in Xiliang that people can't sleep well."

"Yes, kill them."

In order to destroy the Turks, they have been preparing for a long time. Could it be that they will not attack the Turks just because the Turks are about to surrender? This is really a bit unreasonable, mainly because they are very unwilling.

So they all felt that the Turks should be wiped out.

But when they were muttering like this, Qin Tian waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, if the Holy One really agrees to the Turkic surrender, then we don't need to destroy them."

Li Shimin asked him to destroy the Turks in Xiliang, Qin Tian somewhat guessed it, he just felt that his strength in Xiliang was stronger, he was worried, and wanted to weaken their strength in Xiliang.

Let them keep fighting and killing people in Xiliang, and Xiliang will definitely be weakened in the end.

For this kind of calculation, Qin Tian naturally didn't want to fall for it. If he could not destroy the Turks, it would be better not to destroy the Turks. The existence of the Turks was very meaningful to them. In order to prevent the Turks, Li Shimin had to rely on Qin Tian.

Otherwise, the birds will be exhausted and the good bow will be hidden.

However, even though he said this, Qin Tian felt that Li Shimin would not accept the Turks' surrender, but the Turks were going to surrender, and if the conditions were very generous, Li Shimin might not agree.

Therefore, Qin Tian felt that it was better to wait.

Even if they wait a day or two, there is nothing wrong with them. The closer they are to the Turkic interior, the more advantageous they will be. In this case, the flames of war will not spread to Xiliang.

Everyone didn't like Qin Tian's words very much, but they could only listen to what Qin Tian said.

Therefore, Xiliang soldiers and horses continued to move forward, but they did not intend to speed up their pace.
-
In the summer weather, there is already a wave of enthusiasm here.

The noisy noise of cicadas also rang out at once.

Ashina Helu had already retreated fifty miles with his soldiers and horses, but judging from this, they might continue to retreat.

However, just as they retreated several tens of miles, the envoy they sent to Chang'an City finally sent back the news.

"Your Majesty Khan, Your Majesty Khan..." When the envoy saw Ashina Helu, he was very wronged.

"What's the matter, Datang didn't accept our surrender?" Regarding this situation, Ashina Helu couldn't believe it. The Turks were already about to surrender to Datang. Didn't Datang accept their surrender?

The envoy nodded: "Not only did they not accept the surrender of our Turks, we also took the opportunity to humiliate the ministers, not only humiliating the ministers, but also insulting His Majesty Khan, and said that the king of Xiliang should send His Majesty Khan's head to Chang'an City , This... This is simply a great humiliation, Your Majesty Khan, Datang is determined to destroy us Turks, we have nothing to say to them, nothing to say."

The Turkic envoy burst into tears. After hearing this, all the tribal generals felt their hearts sink. There was no hope for them to surrender. It seemed that they were really going to fight Xiliang soldiers.

But if this is the case, will their Turks be wiped out?

What these people are worried about is this, but Ashina Helu is very angry, and shouted: "Damn, hate, Datang is deceiving people too much, I really think that I, Turks, are afraid of them and humiliate us like this. If so, Then we will fight Xiliang to let them know that we are powerful Turks, we are the heroes of the grassland, and we are not afraid of anyone."

"Order to get the soldiers to assemble and get ready for battle, and when Xiliang soldiers arrive, you will destroy them with me."

Ashina Helu was extremely angry, and his words were full of fighting spirit. The tribal leaders saw this and knew that this battle was inevitable.
