Chapter 529 It’s good to have a backer

According to their thinking, if people from the Tang Dynasty set foot on the grassland, they must find a local guide. Otherwise, these people will most likely not be able to come back because they don’t know how to identify the grassland. Direction, even if you know how to identify the direction, you don't know some reference objects on the grassland. This has always been their advantage in fighting on the grassland.

As long as they have a guide who can blockade the Central Plains army, they will have won half the battle on the grassland. But does Huo Qubing need this guide? In his last life, this guy was in and out of the grassland three times. It can be said that he killed the Huns to the point where he didn't even recognize his grandma. If he could still go the wrong way in this place, it would be damned.

The reason why Li Xiang let Ang Guertai see this scene was also to let this guy know, don't think that I have to rely on you when I go to your lair to fight. You are purely an accessory to me. Don't value your own value too much. If If you want to make a request, then get out of here immediately. You and your subordinates are all subordinates. You can take it or leave it.

In the past month, Angultai has also seen that in addition to their strong combat effectiveness, the Tang army's ability to survive on the grasslands has also increased a lot, although it is still different from the native grassland people. , but at least they can survive, especially after the arrival of Huo Qubing's three thousand men, their hunting skills on the grassland have greatly improved.

Angultai was respectful every time he saw Li Xiang, without any hint of tail. This guy has also found his position, which is to obey Li Xiang's orders and never do anything wrong. think.

At the beginning, this guy still needed some guidance from Su Dingfang, but now Su Dingfang no longer needs guidance. He himself knows clearly that there are many talents in the Tang army. If you obey the orders honestly, you may still be able to do it. There is a place for you, but if you are talented and charming, then the door will be opened for you.

With the arrival of the imperial transport brigade, various supplies filled the entire camp, and Angultai's men also obtained a lot of supplies, which made their people very happy. Under Khan's management, a large amount of their production materials were taken away, and they never saw the money back. Now that they have defected to the Tang Dynasty, these things are the first batch of their own.

Many people in Angultai's team were also opposed to surrendering to the Tang Dynasty. They had made up their minds that after the Tang army withdrew, these people would rebel immediately, but when they got the first After approving the supplies of daily necessities, the psychology of these people also changed. If the Tang Dynasty took care of them every year in the future, why would they betray the Tang Dynasty?

What's more, besides them, there are several people who are against them on the grassland. With the support of Datang, we are Datang's closest comrades. According to what Li Xiang said, we can completely defeat them in Datang. With the support of the unified grasslands, the hard work is left to those tribes, just like the Turks now, isn't life also very good?

All changes are under the control of Li Xiang. Xue Yantuo, like the Turks, will become Li Xiang's spokesperson in the future. Li Xiang will let them form a competition mechanism. You can only eat meat if you compete with each other. As for the grasslands below you People, Li Xiang can't control that much, at least not for fifty years. After fifty years, you will all become obedient people of the Tang Dynasty. Let's talk about rights at that time.

After being out for a month and thirteen days, Huo Qubing finally came back. He investigated the situation in the north and became more confident, saying that Li Xiang could send troops at any time.

The people responsible for investigating the situation of Xue Yantuo Khan have also returned. These people are the spies left by Angultai in their camp. Angultai still left a few chess pieces in the original camp. Now it is finally time to use them. It's time.

"Reporting to Your Highness, a total of more than 6,000 people froze to death in our Khan's camp. The number of cattle, sheep and livestock was even higher, and more than 3,000 people suffered from frostbite. This was the number before we set off, and it may be higher now. many."

These people originally reported to Angultai. Angurtai knew that Li Xiang was also waiting for news in this regard, so he pulled these people directly in front of Li Xiang, which was also the first time that Li Xiang heard something. We have nothing to hide from you.

Li Xiang calculated that according to this number, half of the people in Xueyantuo's court should have no fighting power.

After Angultai's people left, they destroyed everything that could be destroyed. Although it is not yet the spring season, the coldest moment has passed, and the days to come are getting warmer every day. Xue Yantuo Khan also felt that the Tang army might have already moved on, and he had to be ready for battle.

"Are your tribes prepared on the way to your royal court?"

Li Xiang's eyes became sharp as he spoke. He had already gotten the news from Huo Qubing. Now he wanted to see if these people had truly surrendered. If he told a lie, Li Xiang would have these people killed. On the grassland, you should not be merciful at all, especially to these surrendered people.

"Returning to Your Highness, except for a few tribes who were prepared, other tribes have received Khan's letter. However, they suffered heavy losses in the blizzard. Coupled with the losses in the previous war, the capable people of each tribe are really strong. It’s too little.”

Before the spies came, Angultai had already told him that he should report the most real situation on the grassland. Do not exaggerate or reduce it at all, because if there is a slight inaccuracy, this may affect the people above. Thousands of lives, he has figured out Li Xiang's character for a while now. As long as you do your own thing honestly, I won't blame you even if something happens in the future. But if you exaggerate or conceal it, Then don't take your head.

Li Xiang also nodded with satisfaction, and Angultai also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, we didn't do anything extraordinary. Otherwise, His Highness could kill you in just a blink of an eye with a smile on his face. This Angurtai experienced this in a few days. Dozens of his men were pulled out one after another and beheaded. Of course, these people were beheaded for a reason, that is, they were spies who were inserted...
