The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 83 The former Sui emperor’s daughter and the empress meet

The Turkic Royal Court suffered irreparable losses because of Jia Xu's vicious plan.

The attack on Youzhou City is not only for revenge, but also to divert internal conflicts and unite the front. Otherwise, the major tribes who have suffered heavy losses may start killing each other first.

Because Jia Xu's poisonous plan was not only to destroy grasslands and water sources, but what was even more poisonous was that he left behind a few patches of grassland and clean water sources. This was even more heart-breaking.

When there is no clean grassland or water source in the entire grassland, do you think there will be a fight among the Turkic tribes in order to compete for the only remaining grassland and water source?
Let them kill each other and consume themselves internally. When they send out troops again next year, the Turks will no longer be able to resist.

Killing three birds with one stone, Jia Xu deserves the title of the number one poisoner.

Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan understood the power of this, so they proposed to attack Youzhou.

After confirming the overall goal, Jieli Khan and others began to discuss strategies and plans.

"How many troops do we currently have available?"

Jieli Khan looked up at Tuli Khan and asked.

He no longer wants to argue with Tuli Khan about betrayal. The top priority is to unite the front against Li Chengdao.

"There are still about 20 elite troops available. If you include slave soldiers, there are about 26."

Tuli Khan replied.

During the days when he returned to the royal court, he had already anticipated this war, so he was counting his troops early.

Although there were many slaves from various Turkic tribes, many of the available able-bodied male slaves were killed and injured after being massacred by Li Chengdao's troops. Now there are not many available.

And all the remaining slaves cannot be dispatched, because all the Turkic tribes need important labor such as slaves. If they are sent to the battlefield, they will die as cannon fodder, so only about [-] can be dispatched at most.

Their expedition to Chang'an did not gain any benefit at all, but instead they lost so many troops.

"26... is enough. There are currently only [-] or [-] Youzhou defenders. This time, even if it is a strong attack, we must capture it at all costs!"

Jieli Khan said bitterly.

"Khan, a forceful attack will not work."

At this time, the leader of the Muka tribe suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention.

Jieli Khan wanted to scold him, but he remembered that the Muka tribe was the only tribe that had ever attacked Youzhou City head-on, so he asked patiently: "Why?"

Longbaru replied directly: "The walls of Youzhou are tall, and our army has mostly cavalry and is not good at attacking the city. If we attack Youzhou by force, we may not be able to break it. Even if we break it, we will have to pay an unimaginable price."

"Although our remnant soldiers can occupy Youzhou City by then, as long as other parts of the Tang Dynasty send troops over, they can easily defeat us."

Longbaru's words made Jieli Khan frown, and then asked: "Then do you have any good suggestions?"

A trace of murderous intent flashed in Long Baru's eyes, and he replied coldly: "Didn't Li Chengdao massacre our tribe? Then let's go to Youzhou and massacre and plunder those villages and towns!"

"If he doesn't send troops to fight us, we won't stop."

"And as long as he dares to send troops, our army of more than 20 can easily crush the white robe army!"

After Longbaru finished speaking, the leaders of each tribe looked at each other and felt that this strategy was feasible.

Even Tuli Khan nodded and agreed: "It's a very good idea."

"Well, you go back and collect all the remaining food in the tribe. It will be used as food for the army. As long as we capture Youzhou, we can take back the supplies that Li Chengdao took away!" Jieli Khan said to everyone. said the tribal leaders.

Everyone looked hesitant, but in the end they nodded in agreement.

They all understand that now they can only continue to survive if they capture Youzhou City and seize supplies.

……

A few days later, dozens of Turkic cavalry in units of a thousand people rushed out from the depths of the grassland and broke into Youzhou directly!

In the past, the Turkic cavalry were somewhat restrained when they broke into Youzhou, but this time these Turkic cavalry were extremely arrogant!

After they broke into Youzhou, they massacred all the villages and towns they encountered along the way!

All the men and children were killed, the women were taken away, and all the food and other supplies were taken away, and the entire village was burned to the ground!
In just a few days, more than a dozen villages were affected, and thousands of Youzhou people died tragically.

Wherever the Turks passed, they left behind ruins and corpses everywhere.

……

Youzhou City.

After Li Chengdao returned to Youzhou with Queen Xiao and Princess Yicheng, he arranged for Queen Xiao to meet Concubine Yang.

Concubine Yang, Changsun Wugou and other relatives of Li Shimin were imprisoned in a place by Li Chengdao. After being summoned by Li Chengdao alone, she felt very uneasy and didn't know what Li Chengdao planned to do to her.

But when she walked into the General's Mansion, Concubine Yang was shocked when she saw Queen Xiao sitting in the hall.

"Mother concubine?!"

Concubine Yang said in disbelief, wondering if she was dazzled.

But who could the beautiful woman sitting in the hall be if she wasn't her mother-in-law, Queen Xiao?
"Euphemistically——"

Empress Xiao was so excited that she stood up and walked towards Concubine Yang. Mother and daughter hugged each other, crying like pear blossoms and rain.

Mother and daughter have been separated for a long time, and now they meet again. You can imagine how excited they are.

Empress Xiao had already learned from Li Chengdao why Concubine Yang was here. She was originally worried that her daughter would be abused or something, but she was relieved after seeing that there was nothing unusual about Concubine Yang except that she was a little thin.

"Concubine, why did you come to Youzhou?"

Concubine Yang stopped her tears and asked while choking.

"His Royal Highness Taisun led troops to attack the Turkic Royal Court and rescued me. Otherwise, you and I, mother and daughter, don't know when we will see each other again."

Queen Xiao took Concubine Yang's hand and said, wiping her tears.

Concubine Yang looked at Li Chengdao in surprise when she heard this, then saluted him and said sincerely: "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving my concubine."

"It's just a hands-on effort."

Li Chengdao waved his hand.

Just when he wanted to comfort the two of them, Xue Wanche suddenly ran into the living room and said with an ugly expression: "Your Highness, something happened!"
