Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 554
the weather is getting hotter.

Although the Turkic soldiers and horses failed to have a decisive battle with the Tang army, they were still rewarding.

The only thing that made them unhappy was that the people in the grassland were massacred, but they couldn't bring back the people of the Tang country.

Just when Chang'an City began to develop its economy, Jieli Khan led his soldiers and horses to rush to Turkic through Fenghua Road again.

At the same time, the vassal kings all over the Tang Dynasty had already learned the news of the Turkic withdrawal.

Those princes were shocked.

"How could this happen? Chang'an City only has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the Turkic army of [-] troops retreated like this?"

"Could it be that Li Shimin is really like God's help?"

"Damn it, but fortunately no troops were sent to Chang'an, otherwise the Turks retreated and jumped back, wouldn't they be courting death?"

The princes from all walks of life did not have Qin Wang, and even if they had leaders, they walked very slowly. Before they reached Chang'an City, they heard the news of the Turks' retreat, and then turned back.

Some of these vassals were shocked, but also fortunate.

But when the news reached Youzhou, Luo Yi frowned slightly, a little surprised.

"I thought that Jieli Khan was a hero of a generation, but he turned out to be a waste. After being frightened by Li Shimin, he retreated."

Luo Yi scolded, but he was a little worried in his heart, because now he basically turned against Datang, maybe in a while, Datang would not do anything to him, but after Datang had breathed , I'm afraid they won't spare him.

Turkic did not lose both sides with Datang, this is what surprised him the most and disturbed him the most.

However, the current Luo Yi is only a little worried, and doesn't have that special sense of crisis.

Because their location in Youzhou is really special. First of all, it is not easy for Datang to capture them, and secondly, he can ask the Turks at any time. It is not easy to survive in the cracks, but sometimes it is easy. Just put your face down and please one of them.

He holds a heavy soldier in his hand, for a while, no one dares to offend him, right?

When Luo Yi was thinking this way, Jieli Khan's soldiers and horses had already walked through Fenghua Road, passing a small town on the border of Youzhou.

The small town is in the far north, and it is not considered prosperous. There are only a thousand households of people. They did not feel panic when they learned that the Turks passed by.

Datang already had a Weishui alliance with the Turks, and even if they wanted to come to the Turks, they wouldn't do anything to them.

However, when Jieli Khan and the others passed by the village, Jieli Khan's eyes burst out with a murderous look.

"Come here, take all the people in this town into captivity."

As soon as Jieli Khan said this, the tribal leaders looked at each other, and without hesitation, they rushed in with their soldiers and horses.

Beside Jieli Khan, a courtier frowned slightly, and said: "Your Majesty Khan, these are the people of Datang after all. We have an alliance with Datang on the Weishui River. If we plunder their people like this, I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?" Jieli Khan's tone was very cold, but the murderous look in his eyes became more and more intense, and then he said: "If Luo Yi didn't try to please both sides, and enlarged Tang's soldiers and horses into our grassland, what would happen to our Turkic people?" Will be massacred, I just plundered the people of his small town, it is already very cheap for him."

After Jieli Khan finished speaking, he stopped, and had no intention of continuing. The courtier next to him hesitated to speak, and after repeated attempts, he still chose to shut up.

The town was full of noise, and around dusk, it finally returned to calm.

The town was blown by a gust of hot wind, and there was a faint smell of blood. Among the people of the Tang Dynasty, there were many people who were unyielding. In the face of such people, Turkic always chose to kill them directly.

The wind is getting hotter.

Youzhou, Yanwang Mansion.

Just after dawn, a guard ran over in a hurry.

"My lord, it's not good, the big thing is not good..."

The guard was in a hurry and fell to the ground with a plop while running. Luo Yi came out of the room, seeing the guard like this, he couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Why are you so flustered?"

"My lord, the Turks...the soldiers of the Turks captured the people in a town on the border of Youzhou, and there was no one left, no one left."

Hearing this news, Luo Yi's face became very ugly.

"Damn it, how could it be like this, I, Luo Yi, let them enter Fenghua Dao, yet they actually repay their kindness and plunder the king's people?"

Luo Yi was a little furious. He felt that Jieli Khan was too careless. He helped Turkic, but Turkic treated them like this. He even felt that Jieli Khan was a bit incompetent.

I didn't dare to fight with Li Shimin, and the people who robbed them returned to Li Shimin in the end, but when they passed by Youzhou, they came to bully him.

"Jieli Khan!" Luo Yi bit his lip and said this, and at this moment, the guard said again: "My lord, on the Turkic grassland, a Tang army appeared a while ago, wantonly massacring Turkic people on the grassland. Common people, I'm afraid they are the Turkic soldiers and horses who went back through Fenghua Road some time ago, they are the Tang army in disguise."

Speaking of this, the guard slightly raised his head and glanced at Luo Yi. Luo Yi's expression was greatly moved, he was very shocked. He always thought that the soldiers and horses before were Turkic soldiers and horses, but he never thought that they were actually disguised by Tang Jun.

If this is the case, I am afraid that it was his own negligence that led to the massacre of the people on the Turkic grassland. Therefore, Jieli Khan is naturally full of hatred for him.

No wonder he took his people captive.

After realizing this, Luo Yi walked back and forth in front of the door. It was already very hot, his forehead was covered with sweat, but his heart was cold.

Now, he not only offended Datang, but also offended Turkic, what should I do?
Originally, I wanted to please one side and restrain the other side, but now it has become like this.

This time, Luo Yi was really worried. He was afraid that when Tang Wan attacked him, Turkic would stand by and watch him because of the previous incident.

In that case, although he holds a heavy army, he may not be the opponent of Tang Jun.

"My lord, the Turks plundered the people of Youzhou, do you want to send troops to ask for them?"

After all, they are from the Tang Dynasty, so it seems reasonable to go to ask for it. Moreover, this also agrees with their prince's temper. However, after hearing this, Luo Yi frowned and shouted: "What do you want? That's all. never mind."

Luo Yi was very angry, scolding made the guard's heart tremble, the guard's face was aggrieved, he didn't know where he was wrong, Turkic killed his people, go ask for an explanation, bring those people back, what's wrong ?
But seeing Luo Yi like this, the guard didn't dare to say anything, and wanted to retreat angrily.

But at this moment, Luo Yi suddenly stopped him again: "Write this matter as a memorial and report it to the imperial court."
