Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

Ashina Helu was shocked by the fiasco of the Zhishedi people.

Of the three clans under him, the strongest is Zhishedi.

[-] cavalry, and the general Baque.

I didn't expect it to be so miserable in the end. The whole army was wiped out, and the Tang army was almost unscathed.

"Is it because the people of Zhishedi are too poor, or is Tang Jun too strong?"

He Lu was talking to himself in the room alone.

I thought that the Tang army would not have much combat effectiveness when they entered the desert, but now it looks bad.

After the next battle in Gaochang City, Tang Jun completely gained his footing, and He Lu dared not take the initiative to challenge again.

Soon, the Tang army will go deep into the hinterland of the Western Regions and attack the Turkic base camp.

Mohe City must be the primary target.

"Come on!"

He Lu shouted.

The guard came in through the door.

"Khan."

He Lu said: "Let Chu Mukun and Pobi's patriarch come over to discuss matters."

The guards took orders, and immediately went to deliver the order.

Before the two patriarchs came over, She Ye came in again.

"Huh? What else do you have to do?"

He Lu asked.

She Ye said: "Khan, I was too anxious just now and forgot one thing."

He Lu asked what was the matter.

She Ye replied: "I met Yisha, the Princess of Food, at the foot of Gaochang City."

He Lu asked in surprise: "She didn't die? Was she captured by Tang Jun?"

He Lu sent Isa and the caravan out to assassinate, but there was no news of them in the end, and they thought they were all dead.

I didn't expect it to be in Gaochang City.

She Ye shook his head and said, "I don't think she is a prisoner on the city wall, she seems to have surrendered."

At that time, Sheye was under the city and looked up to see Yisha.

He Lu was taken aback, and then cursed: "This bitch, who fled from the Great Food Kingdom to the Western Regions, was the one who took her in."

"How dare you betray me!"

He Lu was furious.

She Ye dared not speak, and regretted reporting the matter to He Lu.

Just as they were cursing, it was said outside the door that the patriarchs of Chu Mukun and Pobi had come.

He Lu waved She Ye out.

She Ye left the room and met two patriarchs at the door.

They knew that Sheye had gone to Gaochang City with the Zhishedi tribe, so they wanted to ask how the situation was.

But He Lu was waiting in the room, and She Ye was ordered by He Lu not to mention this matter, so neither side stayed.

After entering the room, Chumukun patriarch Duzhi and Pobi patriarch sat down together.

"Khan, is there any news from Sheti?"

They all asked.

They were discussing on the road when they came, and guessed it should be about this matter.

Some time ago, Zhishedi was the vanguard to go to Gaochang City, and the two clans were very envious.

It doesn't feel right now.

He Lu said with a gloomy face, "Yes, they were very brave, and they all died in battle."

The two patriarchs were shocked when they heard that all Zhishedi had died in battle.

He Lie asked: "All died in battle? No one came back alive?"

A tribe, with [-] cavalry, has not returned a single horse?

He Lu nodded and said, "They are very brave, and fought against the Tang army under Gaochang City."

"The people of Zhishedi died in the battle, and the Tang army also suffered heavy casualties."

He Lu lied, he dared not say that the Tang army had no casualties.

Such words would scare the two patriarchs to death.

After hearing this, Chu Mukun patriarch Duzhi said impassionedly: "Sheti is a brave warrior, and all his people are brave warriors. We will always remember them."

The head of the Pobi tribe agreed, "Yes, Zhishe is a brave tribe, and their men are brave warriors."

He Lu stood up, put his right hand on his left heart, and said, "They killed more than 5 Tang troops, and now there are less than 6 Tang troops left."

"We need to contact all the ministries of the Western Regions to destroy the Tang army together and drive them out of the Western Region desert."

Duzhi shook his head and said, "No, Khan, there are more than 8 fighters from our two tribes, and we are enough to defeat them."

He Lie said: "Yes, we don't need the help of other clansmen. We can bury Tang Jun in the sand."

The [-] cavalry in Zhishe killed [-] Tang Jun, and the two patriarchs actually looked down on them.

They felt that one Turkic cavalry should be able to kill at least two Tang troops.

In their impression, Tang Jun was still infantry.

Cavalry has an advantage over infantry.

He Lu shook his head and said, "No, this is a war between the Western Regions and the Tang Army, and everyone should be allowed to participate."

"We want all the departments in the Western Regions to see our bravery."

Seeing that He Lu persisted in this way, Du Zhi and He Lie couldn't argue anymore.

"Okay, then... call other tribes, they will come if they want, if they don't want to, we will fight by ourselves."

All said confidently.

He Lie echoed, "We can destroy Tang Jun by ourselves."

He Lu smiled and said, "Okay, get ready, She Ye just said that Tang Jun will come towards Mohe City soon."

"We'll just wait here, and wait for Tang Jun to come to the door himself."

The two patriarchs, Duzhi and Helie, left the room.

When they got outside, Duzhi asked, "Do you think Khan is telling the truth?"

He Lie was surprised: "What do you mean? Could it be that Khan is hiding something from us?"

Duzhi is smarter, and Helie is more honest.

Duzhi said: "I feel that Khan's tone of voice is different from usual."

"Besides, why didn't any of the [-] cavalry from the Zhishedi clan come back?"

"Sheti is not the kind of person who will wipe out all his people."

As the patriarch, Khan's orders are important though.

But the lives of the clansmen are more important.

If it were Duzhi to lead his own troops to fight Datang, he would definitely retreat in the end.

There is no need to let all your clansmen die on the battlefield.

The words of Duzhi reminded the combination.

"Could it be that the entire Sheti clan was killed by Tang Jun?"

He Lie asked in surprise.

Duzhi said, "We don't know yet. I'll send a spy out to Gaochang City to inquire about it."

Helie agrees with Duzhi's idea.

"Okay, I'll send someone there too."

He Lie said.

The two returned to their camp and immediately sent someone to Gaochang City to inquire about the news.

After the two patriarchs left, Wang Ziyun came back from Monan.

"Father Khan."

You luck looks very happy.

He Lu asked: "Why, they agreed?"

Wang Ziyun went to Monan to gather all the tribes to deal with the Tang army.

Been gone for a few days and just came back now.

Xi Yun said: "When I went to the tribe with the ten surnames, they agreed and were willing to fight with us."

He Lu couldn't believe it.

Although these tribes with ten surnames surrendered to He Lu in name, they were actually out of control.

In this battle against Datang, his hole card is the cavalry of the three tribes.

The [-] cavalry in Zhishedi were finished, leaving only Chu Mukun and Pobi tribes.

Now that the tribes in Monan are willing to join the war, He Lu feels that he has survived a desperate situation.

"Great, Wang'er is doing well."

He Lu said happily.

"How many are they coming?"

He Lu asked.

Wang Ziyun said: "A total of 4 tribes are willing to send troops, about 9 people."

He Lu did his own calculations, 9, plus Chu Mukun and Pozi's 8, he had 17 cavalry in his hands.

With these cavalry, you can give it a go in Mohe City.

but
He Lu felt apprehensive when he thought of Datang's Shenji Camp.

The last horse of the 6 cavalry in Zhishe didn't return because of the Shenji Battalion.

We must find a way to deal with the Shenji camp.
