Chapter 351 Assembling the Team
It was the East Turks who attacked Chang'an this time, so it was the East Turks who were conquered by Datang this time.

As for the Western Turks, depending on their performance at that time, Li Chengdao's attitude is that people who are not of our race will have a different heart, and we will see whether these small countries around them have the foresight after conquering the Eastern Turks.

If he didn't have the vision, Li Chengdao didn't mind conquering them together, but Li Chengdao just conquered them to prevent them from harassing Datang in the future, and he would never do such things as massacre the people.

Dragon Slayer Boy, this time he won't become a dragon.

After receiving the news that Jieli Khan and the 15 army were annihilated, an undercurrent surged in the East Turkic territory.

Logically speaking, in this case, Jieli Khan's son Diluozhi should inherit the Khan throne.

But in fact, Turkic countries are not so united, and their energy for power and profit is no worse than that of Datang.

For example, there are actually two khans in the Eastern Turks. One is the Jieli Khan who has burped, and the other is the Tuli Khan.

Now that Jieli Khan is dead, how could Tuli Khan let go of such a good opportunity, and he will definitely unify Eastern Turks with thunderous means.

And Jieli Khan's son Diluozhi happened to be not very capable, he was a good boy with a pure nature, how could he be Tuli Khan's opponent.

Therefore, it took only two days for the Turkic Khan to settle the situation in the Turks, unify the Turks, and become the only khan of the Eastern Turks.

As for Diluozhi, he was put under house arrest. Speaking of which, he and Diluozhi were still cousins, because Jieli Khan was his uncle.

This involves some old things. In fact, the original Khan should have belonged to Tuli Khan, but at that time he was taken away by his uncles when he was young, and the last few uncles simply became Khans themselves. .

It was only with the support of Emperor Sui Yang that Tuli Khan dared to break with Jieli Khan and became a little Khan himself.

This time Jieli Khan died in Datang, which allowed him to completely regain power.

He didn't take things too far, after all, Jieli Khan also spared his life back then, so he just put Diluozhi under house arrest.

The capital of the Turks is called the Turkic Yazhang, which is also a symbol of the royal court and a movable palace.

At this time, it was in the tent of Turkic teeth.

Turkhan Khan, who had unified Turks, was not very happy. He looked worriedly at the endless blue sky.

His confidant Vasna came up and asked.

"Khan, you should be happy that you have taken back your own territory. Why do you look so worried?"

Tuli Khan said.

"I'm afraid this is only a temporary recovery! Maybe after a while we will be like that Jieli Khan, with a different head!"

Wasna's heart tightened when he heard this.

he asked hastily.

"Why did Khan say that?"

Tuli Khan still looked at the sky and said slowly.

"My Turkic Khanate has a long history of grievances and grievances with the land of the Central Plains, and there have been frequent conflicts. This time, the Tang Dynasty wiped out our 15 troops, and they were all 15 elites, which caused our vitality to be severely damaged. Do you think they will take advantage of the victory and pursue it? Datang's iron cavalry broke through the prairie of our khanate?"

After listening to Tuli Khan's words, Vasna couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

There is such a possibility!
Jieli, without respecting martial virtues, was approaching the capital of another country. How could the Tang Dynasty give up?

Now that the Khanate's vitality is severely damaged and its troops are empty, coupled with the chaos it has just experienced, attacking at this time will definitely not be able to stop the tiger and wolf army of the Tang Dynasty!
He hurriedly asked Tuli Khan.

"Khan, what should we do now?"

"Should Tang's army come, shall we fight them?"

Tuli Khan shook his head.

"beat?"

"Can we fight?"

"Jieli took all the 15 elites of our Khanate, but they were wiped out by [-] troops. I really don't know how brave the soldiers of the Tang Kingdom are?!"

"We are still invincible even though we bully the smaller ones with more troops. Now they can mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops. How can we stop them?"

"How can we fight against the tiger and wolf masters of the Tang Kingdom?"

In fact, it's not to blame Tuli Khan for being cowardly, but because he really couldn't beat him.

The entire Turkic army has a total of about 40 troops. Now that it has lost 15 troops, there are only more than 20 troops left.

The Tang Dynasty had more troops, maybe 80 million troops in total. The total number of border troops, imperial troops, and vassal troops combined was this number.

Don't look at the fact that the history books always talk about millions of troops fighting against the enemy. In fact, that is just beautifying and exaggerating.

After hearing Tuli Khan's words, Vasna seemed to understand what he meant.

"What does Khan mean, we surrender to Tang?"

After Tuli Khan heard this, he sighed and said.

"This is where Ben Khan is struggling. If we fight, we can't defeat him, but if we surrender, we would be too cowardly. I'm afraid that the descendants of the Khanate in the future will regard Ben Khan as a shame, and other surrounding countries will also regard us. For a joke!"

"If we insist on fighting, I am afraid that the grassland will be stained with blood, and you and I will become the souls of the god of war Li Shimin's sword!"

Apparently they had also heard of Li Shimin's reputation as God of War, and they were very afraid of him.

Tuli Khan continued.

"It's the best if we can negotiate peace. If it doesn't work, we can make an apology. At worst, we can give them some animals. As long as it's not too much, the Khan can accept land and compensation!"

"How about this, you go and notify the grassland ministries first, let them assemble their teams, and prepare for the big battle!"

"How to plan in the end, let's see and talk, it depends on what kind of attitude Tang Guo has!"

After hearing Tuli Khan's words, Vasna was a little bit unconvinced, but he had no choice.

He put his hands on his chest and saluted Tuli Khan.

"I will obey the Khan's orders!"

Then he left and started to make arrangements.

Tuli Khan still stood where he was, with a worried expression on his face.

To be honest, he has only won power now, and the situation is not very stable yet, and he is not suitable for fighting.

So he was really entangled, if Tang Jun really came, should this battle be fought or not?

If there was a fight, there would definitely be rivers of blood, and he didn't really want to see that kind of scene.

Moreover, he might end up being punished by the Tang Dynasty like Na Jieli Khan, which made him a little scared.

Such a long period of forbearance made him understand the truth that the most important thing is to live.

……

Just when Tuli Khan was struggling, Datang was preparing for the Northern Expedition like a raging fire.

Li Shimin, Cheng Yaojin, and Li Jing, the three of them, acted separately, almost assembled the team, and waited for Li Chengdao to get the batch of new iron weapons that he had rushed to make, and then Li Chengdao gave another order, and he could march northward and conquer the Turks .

At this time, Li Chengdao was still in Chang'an. He waited until the new iron weapons were made and then escorted the military supplies there.
