Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 215

Hasage was thrown to the ground like a dead pig by Sijie Yingcai.

Sijie Yingcai said: "Mr. Chen, the people have been captured. They scattered and fled, two sheep escaped, and the head sheep was captured. This is the priest of the Tongluo tribe and has a very high status in the Tongluo tribe. His words can be compared to their patriarch.”

Sijie Yingcai was close to the Tang Dynasty, but Haseqi often spoke ill of the Tang Dynasty in front of his father and encouraged his father to oppose the imperial court.

He has long been dissatisfied with it, and this throw has more or less extra emotions.

Hasage was confused after the fall. When he came back to his senses, he saw Sijie Dilu who was eating and drinking. His eyes fell on Chen Qingsi, Di Renjie and others beside him. Everything became clear in an instant.

At first, I thought it was Sijie Enemylu who reacted, saying that he still had room to maneuver when it came to instigating discord.

Now I understand that the situation is far worse than I thought.

The Han people already knew their plan, and their current strength was simply not enough to compete with the imperial court. In an instant, their hearts were filled with despair, and they yelled at Sijie enemy law: "Traitor, you are a traitor of the Tiele tribe, you are a traitor of the Tiele tribe. The eternal sinner..."

Sijie Enemylu looked a little embarrassed after being scolded.

However, Sijie Yingcai shouted angrily: "It is precisely because of you that my Tiele tribe has no peace."

He glanced at the guard behind him and remembered that his feet were the smelliest, so he asked him to remove the pickled foot wraps.

The smell made Yingcai dare not even pick it up, so he ordered him to block Hasage's mouth.

Chen Qingsi raised his wine glass and said, "Who is the sinner? The enemy governor will understand after he sees the fate of the Tongluo tribe."

He drank the wine in the cup and said: "I will report to your Majesty the loyalty of the governor of Dilu to your majesty. I will take my leave first..."

He was worried that the nights would be long and he would have many dreams. Sijie Dilu had a strong prairie aura, and he might not be able to understand his thoughts and regret them.

In this situation, as long as he returns to Lingzhou, Sijiebu will be truly tied to the imperial court.

Sijie Enliu was in a daze and instinctively stood up to say goodbye.

Sijie enemy law and Sijie Yingcai sent Chen Qingsi out of the Sijie department.

Si Jie Di Lu finally came back to his senses. He caressed his neck unconsciously and asked, "Tell me, if my son doesn't come out, will Mr. Chen's knife cut him off?"

Sijie Yingcai said: "My child doesn't know whether Mr. Chen's knife can cut. But my child knows that if Mr. Chen really wants to kill his father, my child will not dare to kill him. He will have to escort him back to Lingzhou."

Sijie Dilu's eyes widened in anger, how could he have given birth to such a thing.Sijie Yingcai said with a bitter face: "I'm afraid that my father doesn't know what the consequences will be if he really kills Mr. Chen. My father thinks that Mr. Chen's words 'Whoever kills me will destroy the country and the clan' is just a threat? South Vietnam killed the Han envoys , slaughtered nine counties; King Wan killed the Han envoys and hung his head on the North Tower; North Korea killed the Han envoys and was immediately killed. The Tang Dynasty is now as prosperous as the Han Dynasty. Xue Yantuo was so powerful back then, but he was killed just because he did not obey orders. The Tang army exterminated the clan. Today, Mr. Chen had an accident in our clan. I think even if I run to the ends of the earth, I will not be able to escape the destruction of the whole clan."

He sighed, looking a little yearning, and said: "Central Plains people often say: A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall. Why does Mr. Chen, a gentleman among gentlemen, dare to be so bold? It was Tang Ting who gave him enough courage, and the boy had to do it. The clan members are responsible...Father, as long as the clan members live well, it doesn’t matter what they say. Don’t you think our life is much better now than when we were wandering in Mobei?"

Sijie Dilu said: "I bought this with my leg and the blood of our people."

"That's right!" Sijie Yingcai nodded heavily, patted his chest and said: "The warriors of Sijie tribe used their lives to obtain all this. But father, have you ever thought about how long it has been since we plundered other tribes? ?How long has it been since the children of our tribe froze and starved to death?"

Thinking of forming an enemy, Lu was startled.

The biggest enemy of their nomadic people is the weather, and then their own people.

The North is bitterly cold, and every winter is a disaster.

The strong survive, the weak perish, the weak eat the strong, it is inevitable.

But some weak people will die when they die, but wives and children are the most precious assets that are related to the reproduction of the ethnic group.

Once they suffer too many casualties, the only way is to start a war and plunder women and children from other tribes to prevent the tribe from declining and being eaten by others.

It is true that many warriors from the Sijie tribe died fighting for Tang Ting, but they also obtained charcoal fire, food and other materials from Tang Ting that allowed the women and children of the tribe to survive the winter safely.

Sijie Yingcai continued: "Father, my child also hopes to survive on his own without having to look at other people's faces. But even powerful behemoths like Tujue and Xue Yantuo are vulnerable to the Tang Dynasty, so why should we, Sijie, resist? ? Instead of trying to beat an egg against a stone, why not follow the stone and touch others, and then you won’t be able to eat meat or drink soup?”

Sijie Dilu looked at his son, thinking about the previous quarrel between the two due to different ideas, and said: "That's it, the future affairs of the clan will be left to you. I can rest assured that you are in charge of the Sijie Department. . Make arrangements and prepare to fight..."

Sijie Yingcai looked at his father in astonishment and said, "How dare they come here?"

Sijie Enliu laughed: "You have indeed read more books than me, and you know more things than me. But there are some things that cannot be learned from books. Ye Hu from the Tongluo tribe is fierce and bold. , there is nothing in the world that he does not dare to do. It was probably his own idea to let Haseqi pretend to be a Uighur to smuggle iron weapons with Xu Kai. They had just spent a winter and there was a shortage of supplies in the clan, and this happened , where did you let them flee?"

He said firmly: "According to what I know about him, he will definitely attack when everyone is unprepared, snatch enough cattle and sheep, and then go west to avoid the Tang court. The tribes in Monan are all thinking about the knot. To the west is the Helan Mountain, and beyond it is the desert. Once inside, how can the defenseless Tang army retain him in a short time? We have now become traitors in their mouths, and they can attack us together to settle old and new grudges. "

Si Jie Yingcai really didn't expect that his father had such ability, and said with a hint of respect in his tone: "What do you think, father? Do you want to inform Mr. Chen and the others?"

Sijie Dilu said: "No need for the moment, Lingzhou is only half a day away from us. Tang Ting's army is well-trained and assembled quickly. It doesn't take a day to get support if you want support. We have to confirm first, Mobei is included There are several counterattacks, but we can deal with Tongluo alone. There is no reason not to eat the meat that is delivered to our door. If we win, we will just merge with them... There are too many people, so it is not too late for us to ask for help. .”
