Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2219 Turkic Migration

The atmosphere in the Turkic King City suddenly became tense.

A group of generals and officials were called to the main hall by Ashina Helu.

Everyone looked at each other, looking a little at a loss.

"Your Majesty Khan, but... what happened?"

An old official stood up and asked, and everyone turned their attention. Ashina Helu nodded, and then told about the failure of Qin Tian and Tuyuhun to attack Liangzhou City.

After he finished speaking, the whole hall erupted in an uproar.

"What, this kind of thing happened, then I, Turkic... am I going to die?"

"This...how is this good, what is this good, is it really difficult for me, Turkic, to perish?"

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

Everyone kept discussing and asking, Ashina Helu waved his hand and said: "My dear friends, now that other tribes have surrendered to Xiliang, we have two choices. The first is to surrender to Xiliang like those tribes. Liang, although Qin Tian wants to destroy me Turks, but he needs people in Xiliang, so he won't do anything to you, at most, Ben Khan will let him deal with it, and what's more, we Leave here and migrate to other places, as long as we can survive in other places, we will have a chance to make a comeback in the future, what do you love?"

Although there are two options, Ashina Helu is obviously more inclined to the second one. He doesn't want to surrender to Xiliang. If he surrenders to Xiliang, he will have nothing, not even his life.

The courtiers are not idiots, they can naturally hear the meaning of Ashina Helu.

However, comparing these two options, surrendering to Xiliang is the easiest for them. As long as they surrender to Xiliang, they can continue to live in this place, and some of the benefits of Xiliang will also benefit them.

What they lost may be just an illusory tribal name.

But isn't it more important to them to be alive?

If they migrate, how many people will die during the migration, and there must be people in other places. If they migrate there, they will plunder with the people there. This is another unknown.

No one wants to leave their hometown, not even a nomadic people like the Turks.

It's just that Ashina Helu has said such things, so can they choose to surrender to Xiliang?
Everyone looked at each other, and soon someone stood up: "We Turks cannot be subjugated, we must live, and we must live with dignity. Your Majesty Khan, we migrate, we leave here."

After this person finished speaking, other people soon stood up.

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty Khan, we migrate, as long as we Turks can survive in other places, we still have hope. If we can't do it in this lifetime, then let our juniors fulfill our wishes."

"Extremely, extremely, let's migrate."

"........."

The people kept talking, and this result was obviously in line with Ashina Helu's thinking. He nodded and said, "Okay, since all your lovers think that we Turks should choose to migrate, then let's migrate. After you go back, make some preparations immediately, and then we will migrate to the north, the weather in that place may be colder, but it will become our Turkic paradise, where we will have everything we have lost."

After Ashina Helu gave this order, those officials and others began to go back and prepare. They wanted to bring their finances, and they wanted to bring their families.

As for some common people, they can take what they can bring, and those who can't take it, they can only let them fend for themselves in this place.

The Turkic King City suddenly became flustered, and there were people packing up and preparing to migrate everywhere.

But many people are hesitant at this time.

"His Majesty Khan is going to migrate, will you follow?"

"I don't know where His Majesty Khan and the others are going to migrate. If the migration is not good, we will die on the way, so I am not going to go."

'I'm not planning to go either, it's better to stay here, I heard that as long as you surrender to Xiliang, you will be able to survive and be treated kindly. '

Many people want to stay, because their request is very simple, to live.

But in this world, there will never be a shortage of people who are unwilling to live. For them, dignity is the most important thing, and the country is the most important thing.

For these reasons, they would rather stay away from their homeland and ensure the continuation of the Turks.

Therefore, when these people clamored not to leave, these people were very angry.

"Bah, you people are simply not human. What is the difference between you and animals? In your eyes, do you still have Turks? Tell me, what are you living for?"

"A group of pedantic people, I am ashamed to be with you."

"It's sad, it's really sad. Turks have people like you, it's really sad, it's so sad."

"........."

Just when these people scolded those ordinary people, those ordinary people couldn't stand it any longer. One of the people had a big temper and punched him directly.

"His grandma, if you miss, you can die. Why should we die too? If anyone dares to scold us, we will fight them desperately."

"That's right, that's right. Is there anything wrong with us wanting to live? Whoever dares to scold us, we will fight them hard."

"That's right, fight them hard."

There are a lot of people like this, and when they get angry, they are also very scary. After seeing this situation, those who scolded before were immediately discouraged, and no one dared to say anything anymore.

People like them sound nice when they say it, but when it comes to a crisis, they are also afraid of death.

In such a state of subjugation, any individual's choice should be respected.

Some people want to be benevolent, while others just want to live.

Maybe many people will say that surrendering makes people feel spineless and loses the face of Turks, but who made them survive?
And the most important thing is that after they survived, they can still live with dignity. Xiliang will not treat them specially, nor will they not treat them as human beings.

If Xiliang treats them badly, they will definitely not surrender and will resist.

But if Xiliang treats them well, then it's a different situation.

Two days later, many people in the Turkic King City were ready, and then, under the leadership of Ashina Helu, they migrated to the north in a mighty way.

In order to delay time, Ashina Helu left three thousand soldiers and horses in the Turkic King City.
