Chapter 2190: Show your true feelings and withdraw your troops!

Views:

"...Khan, if Yi Nan learns the news, will he become angry and lead his troops to attack us~?"

Tuli Yating, in the Chinese army's tent, after Duo Mozhi had left for a long time, Ni Shutuo asked Tuli with a worried look on his face.

He naturally knew that what Tuli had just said to Tumozhi about "He Luo Falcon was suffering from cold and fever" was all lies. He saw He Luo Falcon yesterday and the latter was still alive and kicking. How could he suddenly get cold and fever? sick

Obviously, Tuli didn't want to hand over his son to the Xue Yantuo tribe!

From a personal emotional point of view, Ni Shutuo naturally did not want to hand over He Luohu, otherwise he would feel embarrassed even if it resulted in the withdrawal of the Iron tribes;

However, compared with the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command, Ni Shutuo felt that there would be nothing wrong with him even if he left people behind.

But these are just his personal thoughts. Now that Tuli has made a decision, he supports it unconditionally, but he still can't help but worry that Yi Nan will retaliate after learning the news.

"The situation in the grassland is delicate now. Since the Tiele tribes dare to choose to unite to resist Jieli, it shows that more and more tribes on the grassland who are dissatisfied with Jieli are willing to stand up. At this time, even if Yi Nan is unwilling, I’m afraid he wouldn’t dare to waste his troops on us, otherwise what else would he have to fight against Jieli~?”

Although he didn't have any confidence in his heart, Tuli still replied with certainty.

He had to give his men confidence.

"...Khan is wise!"

Ni Shutuo frowned and thought for a while, and felt that what Yi Nan said made sense, so he leaned over and flattered him and said.

Tu Li's expression was unmoved. He pondered for a moment and then ordered: "General Ni, please go down immediately and order the generals of each team to count the men and horses, pack up the heavy equipment, and be ready to leave at any time. In addition, send a team out and pay attention. The movements of soldiers and horses in various directions around Yating. Once the soldiers and horses in one direction retreat, we will immediately break out from this direction and leave the grassland!"

Ni Shutuo was shocked when he heard this. They had been trapped here for nearly half a month. They had experienced life and death, and even experienced running out of food and water. Now they were about to break out. This made Ni Shutuo couldn't help but feel a little surprised. All these... are the changes brought about by that Tang man!

"... I obey my orders!"

After coming back to his senses from his daze, Ni Shutuo immediately clasped his fists and accepted the order, turned around and walked out of the camp.

… … … … … …

"... My lord, I forgive my subordinates for talking too much. We are about to complete the mission and leave the grassland to return to Chang'an. Why do you want to cause trouble! That Yi Nan is not a good person. If Tuli rejects him like this, he will never Once we change our minds and unite with other Tiele tribes to encircle and suppress us, I’m afraid we won’t be able to go back in this life!”

On the other side, in the camp where Tang Jian was, after Yue Minghu learned from Tang Jian what Tuli and Tang Jian had just discussed, his face suddenly turned into the shape of a bitter gourd. If Tang Jian's identity and status were not higher than his, he would have It's very possible that he just punched the opponent in the face!

Let you mind your own business! Let you mind your own business! It is clear that all Tiele tribes are planning to withdraw their troops, and the mission to the grassland has been successfully completed, but you insist on "instigating" Tuli and "playing tricks" on Yi Nan at this time. Is Yi Nan easy to mess with? ? If the opponent changes his mind in anger and joins the rest of the Thil tribe to besiege Tuli's headquarters desperately, wouldn't it be all over for them

"Minghu, be patient and don't be impatient! Be patient and don't be impatient!"

Tang Jian saw that Yue Minghu was really anxious, so he quickly put away his smile, and then said seriously:

"After this incident, it can be seen that this Yi Nan is indeed a person, but you don't have to worry. Since the Tiele tribes have decided to unite to resist Jie Li, Yi Nan will not choose to waste his troops to encircle Tu Li at this time. Besides, according to As I know, among the Tiele tribes, the Qibi tribe is probably the most powerful one now. Even if Yi Nan gets mad and wants to do stupid things, the chief of the Qibi tribe will not let him do whatever he wants! "

"But what if it's an emergency? What if Yi Nan doesn't follow common sense and spends all his energy attacking Tuli in a fit of rage?"

Yue Minghu didn't buy it at all, mainly because he felt that Tang Jian's actions were completely unnecessary. Since Yi Nan wanted Tu Li to hand over He Luohu as a hostage, why should Tu Li hand him over? What do they do? As long as Yi Nan keeps his word and guarantees the withdrawal of troops, the deal is a very good deal. There is absolutely no need for Tang Jian to step in and "instigate" Tuli to reject Yi Nan. Doesn't this add variables to their escape from the grassland

Yue Minghu was a little out of control at this time. He said with red eyes: "I still have a sixty-year-old father and mother at home. I am thinking that after completing this mission, I can earn some military merit. I am planning to marry a wife after returning to Chang'an. My son will make their two elders happy. If there is another boy and a half girl, our old Yue's family will be considered to have an heir, and the two elders don't have to worry about me all day long, but you... if you do this, if Tiele's tribes If we really change our minds because of this, none of us will be able to go back!"

Not everyone has a big heart like Tang Jian. For example, Yue Minghu and the Imperial Guards who escorted Tang Jian to the grassland. Although they are all elites in the army, after following Tang Jian to this vast grassland, they were isolated and helpless. People who are experiencing the test of life and death, are on tenterhooks all the time, and have poor psychological quality may have already collapsed!

Their ability to support themselves until now is entirely dependent on the belief in their hearts and the belief in going home!

But now Tang Jian's seemingly unnecessary decision is likely to ruin their hard-won opportunity to return home. How can Yue Minghu not feel heartbroken~

Seeing Yue Minghu's rare display of true feelings, Tang Jian couldn't help but remain silent.

Yue Minghu was born in the Forbidden Army. Before that, there was actually no intersection between them. However, along the way, several people traveled through mountains and rivers, experienced various hardships and obstacles, and even faced life and death several times. The relationship between Tang Jian, Yue Minghu and others has gradually grown. The boundaries between superiority and inferiority were lost, and they became more like friends!

However, before that, Yue Minghu obeyed Tang Jian's orders and never raised any objections. Now that he was so uncharacteristic, it was Tang Jian who "instigated" Tuli to reject Yi Nan. This move was too risky, and it cost them everything. Human lives are at risk!

If Tang Jian had taken such a risk when he first came to the grassland, Yue Minghu would not have said anything, because at that time their situation was already very bad and they could only risk death to survive. But now, they are clearly about to win. Shuguang, but Tang Jian still had extraneous problems, which made it difficult for Yue Minghu to understand!

"Minghu, my move is indeed a bit risky, and it also ignores your feelings. I am deeply sorry!"

After a long silence, Tang Jian patted Yue Minghu's shoulder heavily and said with emotion, but then he changed the topic and said: "But even if it happens again, I will make this choice! It's not that I am superfluous or extraneous, but that I am indifferent. This man is very ambitious. If he is really allowed to leave Tuli's son in Xue Yantuo's tribe, and Tuli's troops return to the imperial court in the future, wouldn't it be equivalent to Yi Nan inserting a chess piece in our Tang Dynasty

I believe your Majesty is not willing to see this situation! It is true that the Tang Dynasty wants to attack the grassland, but when and how to attack can only be decided by the Tang Dynasty itself. The Tang Dynasty cannot be Yi Nan’s knife to eliminate Jie Li, otherwise even if Jie Li falls, Yi Nan will also Will be the next Xie Li! For me, Datang, there will be endless troubles! "

Foresight, Tang Jian is called foresight. He is not only Li Er's minister, but also Li Er's best friend. Otherwise, he would not have accepted this narrow escape mission. As a close friend, he naturally had to clear away all obstacles and hidden dangers for Li Er, so it was impossible for him to let Yi Nan take He Luohu as a hostage to blackmail Tu Li!

Because Tuli will soon become a member of the Tang Dynasty, Yi Nan threatens Tuli with the falcon, which is to threaten the Tang Dynasty! This is a situation that Tang Jian absolutely does not want to see!

That is to say, Yue Minghu lost his composure because of this, otherwise Tang Jian would definitely not have said these words openly!

When Yue Minghu heard this, he couldn't help but trembled. Although he didn't fully understand what Tang Jian said, he still understood the general meaning. He knew that he had misunderstood Tang Jian. Tang Jian's previous actions were not unnecessary. It’s extraneous, but it has a profound meaning!

"The Duke is far-sighted, but his subordinates are short-sighted and lose their temper. Please punish the Duke!"

Yue Minghu knelt down on one knee and cupped his fist at Tang Jian with a look of shame on his face.

He is a soldier, and the mission of a soldier is to protect his family and country. As long as Tang Jian's previous actions are not unintentional and beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, even if it puts them in danger, Yue Minghu will not have any complaints, because this is their mission !

His previous gaffe was mainly because he didn't understand the deep meaning of Tang Jian's move. Now that he knows it, he naturally has no complaints in his heart!

"Get up! It's not your fault!"

Tang Jian leaned over and helped Yue Minghu up, and then said: "It's strange that I didn't consider your feelings beforehand! But if I expected it to be true, even if Yi Nan learned that his plan had not succeeded, the people near the Tuli Yating The soldiers and horses of the Tiele tribe will also withdraw soon! Please inform us and let our people prepare. We should be able to leave the grassland before dark today!"

Seeing that Tang Jian was so confident, Yue Minghu couldn't help but feel at ease. He clasped his fists and said, "Yes! Duke! I will inform you immediately! Those bastards have been waiting for this day for a long time!"

After saying that, Yue Minghu turned around and left the camp.

… … … … … …

In fact, the situation changed much faster than Tang Jian expected.

Not long after Du Mozhi left Tuli Yating, probably more than a quarter of an hour later, a small group of cavalry came from the north. The leader of the group, with a heavy back and a bearded face, was Qibi Heli's younger brother Shamen Qibi!

This small group of cavalry went south from the west side of Tuli Yating and soon arrived at a garrison camp to the south.

"Second leader!"

"The second leader is here!"

Although Samana Qibi is not very popular with Qibi Heli, at least not as well as Gu Zang Jiming, the prestige of Samana Qibi is still very high among the lower-level sergeants of the Qibi tribe. , mainly because this guy has a straightforward temperament and no airs, and he often rushes to the front during battles. Such a general will naturally be supported by the soldiers. So as soon as Samana Qibi arrived, the soldiers who had nothing to do in the camp gathered around and greeted him warmly.

"Uu~!"

Salmon Qibi reined in his horse, then turned over and dismounted skillfully. He first looked around, and then asked a sergeant in front of him: "Where is your General Goer?"

Qibi Geer is a general of Qibi tribe and one of the most powerful generals under Qibi Heli.

"Back to the second leader, General Goer has gone to inspect the front line. Counting the time, he should be back soon! Why don't you go to the tent to rest for a while?"

Hearing Qibi Shamen's question, the sergeant quickly replied.

"No! Take me to find him~!"

Shaman Qibi shook his head, and after giving instructions, he prepared to get on his horse again.

Just at this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from the north of the camp, and then a sergeant in the camp shouted: "It's General Goel who is back!"

The monk Qibi was stunned when he heard this, then grinned and laughed: "Hey! It seems that I came at the right time~!"

After that, he strode towards the group of people.

"Second leader, why are you here~?"

Qibi Ge'er was a tall, thin, middle-aged man with a thick beard on his chin. When he saw Qibi Samana approaching, he quickly went up to greet him, leaned down and saluted.

"Hey! Goel! Let's not be so polite as brothers!"

Qihe Samana smiled, and put a palm directly on Qibi Ge'er's shoulder, and then he said: "Ge'er, I'm here to pass on my elder brother's order."

Qibi Geer's face was startled. He signaled the sergeants on his left and right to step back, and then asked hurriedly: "I wonder what the chief's orders are?"

Shamen Qibi said: "My eldest brother orders you to summon all the people here immediately and withdraw to the tribe. There must be no mistake!"

"What? Withdraw all the troops? But if the Great Khan finds out..."

Qibi Geer was shocked when he heard this. He knew that Jieli had given death orders to the chiefs of the Tiele tribes a few days ago. If they withdrew their troops, how could Jieli spare the Qibi tribe if they turned around

Qibi Salmon smiled mysteriously, walked up to Qibi Geer and whispered: "Big brother asked you to withdraw your troops just to defeat Jieli! Don't worry, the other tribes have already agreed that they will all withdraw their troops today! Take advantage of the opportunity. Before Jie Li can react, we have to withdraw all our troops!"

"What~?"

Qibi Geer's eyes widened when he heard this, and his heart couldn't help but tremble. At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind - the sky has changed, the grassland is going to change!

"...Okay! I will gather the soldiers now and withdraw from the tribe~!"

After being shocked for a long time, Qibi Geer finally came to his senses. He took a deep breath and cupped his fists towards Qibi Samana.

Although the outcome of the confrontation with the powerful Jieli is unpredictable, since this is Qibi Heli's decision, he naturally can only support it. Besides, all the herdsmen and sergeants in Tiele tribes have no regard for Jieli. Good impression, now that he can fight Jie Li openly, Qibi Geer is not only not afraid at all, but also a little excited!
