Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 502
"What? You said that Cao Huaishun led the elite to march out without permission, and has already dispatched troops to Heisha?" Pei Xingjian said in surprise after hearing the news.

"Yes!" said the orderly soldier.

"Boss, what should we do now? Cao Huaishun is going to Heisha this time, and we don't know what the situation is. It's okay if we succeed."

"I'm afraid that this is a trick of the Turkic people. It would be bad if Cao Huai was fooled. It may affect the morale of our army." Li Wenzhen, the governor of Youzhou, said.

Everyone wants to make contributions, but it is not good to act recklessly before finding out whether the information is true or false.

"What else can I do? I can only send someone to see what is going on with Cao Huaishun."

"This place is not far from Daizhou, let's go to Daizhou first." Pei Xingjian said.

Pei Xingjian and his party first went to Daizhou to settle down, and sent a troop to Heisha to meet Cao Huaishun. If Cao Huaishun was ambushed by the Turks, he could be rescued.

When Pei Xingjian and others came to the border of Daizhou, Dou Huaicang, the governor of Daizhou, came to join them, hoping to fight the Turks together with Pei Xingjian.

Regarding Dou Huaicang, Pei Xingjian and others dare not neglect.

This Dou Huaicheng has a special status, not only is the speaker of Daizhou, but also a relative of the emperor, and also the son-in-law of the emperor's family.

When Pei Xingjian came to the border of Daizhou, he still needed the help of Dou Huaicang.

On the other side, when Cao Huaishun came to Heisha, he did not find any traces of Turkic people, Cao Huaishan was furious.

After some searching, Cao Huaishun had no choice but to return after confirming that there were no Turks in Heisha.

At this time, the Tang army was already exhausted. If they met the enemy on the way back, they would have no combat effectiveness and could only be defeated by the opponent.

"Drive! Wow!" The scout came galloping and stopped in front of Cao Huaishun.

"General, there are a large number of barbarians ahead."

"What? Where is it, and how many soldiers and horses does the opponent have? Can you see if it is a Turkic tribe?" Cao Huaishun was surprised and delighted.

He was delighted to finally meet someone after walking for so long, and was surprised by the current state of him and the soldiers under his command. If they met the enemy's troops, it would basically be a dead end.

"Not far ahead, there are about 1 people. Judging by their attire, they should be from the Xue Yantuo tribe." The scout said.

Why did people from Xue Yantuo's tribe appear here? Could it be that they were going to raid the Eastern Turks?In any case, we still have to be careful, because their current situation is not suitable for fighting, Cao Huaishun thought to himself.

"Go and have a look and see what these barbarians are doing?" Cao Huaishun said.

Cao Huaishun led the soldiers towards the group of barbarians. He asked the general Dou Yizhao to lead a group of soldiers and horses to detour in front of the group of Xue Yantuo's troops.

Give them a back and forth attack, he didn't meet the Turkic people, but let him meet a group of people from Xue Yantuo's tribe.

Cao Huaishun had a premonition in his heart that the people from Xue Yantuo's tribe might have colluded with the Turkic people.

There was a sound of horse honking, smoke and dust billowed in front and back, the dust covered the entire sky, and only a trace of the outline of the scorching sun hanging high above the sky could be seen.

The people from Xue Yantuo's department suddenly turned pale with fright. They discovered the fact that they had been surrounded.

"It's from the Tang Dynasty, damn it, how could I meet the army of the Tang Dynasty people here."

"We are finished. If Tang Jun knows that we are going to join the Turkic people, they will definitely kill us all."

"What are you afraid of? At worst, we will fight them!" Looking at the Tang army surrounding them, the people of Xue Yantuo's tribe panicked.

"Shut up, why are you arguing!" Xue Yantuo Dahun scolded.

Immediately, the restless Xue Yantuo fell silent.

"Are you from Xue Yantuo's department?" Cao Huai immediately stepped forward and asked.

"Yes, honorable general, we are all from the Xueyantuo tribe." Dahun, the leader of Xueyantuo, went out to salute.

The Tang army is still the fear in their hearts. After the once powerful Xueyantuo Khanate was wiped out by the Tang army, they attached themselves to various powerful tribes and survived.

This time, Ashina Funian was proclaimed as Turkic Khan, and they were given an ultimatum to join the Turkic camp and once they succeeded in resisting the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

They will give them a piece of pasture belonging to the Xue Yantuo tribe, and the Xue Yantuo tribe will no longer have to rely on others.

Therefore, Dahun decided to meet up with Ashdwin Fu and others first, and then discuss the matter of joining them. Who knew that he would meet Tang Jun on the way.

"Where are you going?" Cao Huaishan looked at them vigilantly and asked.

The soldiers of the Tang Army around them held the weapons in their hands tightly, and they were ready to fight if there was any disagreement. After running such a long distance, they didn't see a single Turkic man.

Feeling being teased, the generals of the Tang army were simmering with anger at this moment, and they were worried that there was nowhere to find them.

Naturally, Dahun would not tell Cao Huaishun what happened to them. If he let them know that he was going to join the Turkic people, he would not get mad on the spot.

"General, now the Turks are rebelling against the Tang Dynasty. Our Xueyantuo tribe has been affected by the flames of war. We don't want to be with the Turks, so we plan to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Our Xueyantuo tribe is willing to become obedient citizens of the Tang Dynasty." Dahun said.

The best way right now is to take refuge in the Tang Dynasty, so as to avoid the massacre of the Tang army.

Sure enough, when Cao Huaishun heard that the other party was going to surrender to Datang, his eyes lit up immediately.

"What you said is true?" Cao Huaishun asked.

"Yes! Everything I said is true?" Dahun said.

"How can I believe that you are not lying, who knows if I let you go this time, will you collude with the Turkic people and stab us in the back." Cao Huaishun said.

He will not be so stupid as to believe what the other party says just based on the other party's few words.

"General, this time we came to surrender to Datang with sincerity," Dahun said.

"Oh! Why didn't I see the sincerity in what you said?" Cao Huai said quickly.

"My Xue Yantuo tribe is willing to present the five prefectures of Guyan Prefecture, Buqiruo Prefecture, Xidan Prefecture, Huzhou, and Disu Prefecture as our surrender to the Tang Dynasty," Dahun said.

"Is this true?" Cao Huaishun said in surprise.

You must know that these five prefectures are not the territories of the Xue Yantuo tribe, but the old territories of the Turkic people. When the Eastern Turks were wiped out by the Tang Dynasty and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang court set up many state capitals on the old territories of the Eastern Turks. , unified under the jurisdiction of the Capital Protectorate.

"There is no lie! I swear in the name of the wolf god, the great Changshengtian can testify for me, and everything I said is true." Dahun said.

The wolf is their totem, and the Longevity Heaven is their belief. They can swear in their name. Cao Huaishun believes that Dahun is not lying.
