Chapter 540 Cold on the Grassland

If Su Dingfang brings others with him, especially those who follow the rules in everything, Su Dingfang will be unwilling to do so. He will suffer some consequences. We are already fighting outside. If we wait for everything, If you ask for instructions, according to the communication speed of this era, it is estimated that the cucumber dishes will be cold.

So this guy prefers to have autonomy, but Li Xiang knows how courageous he is, and of course it is impossible to give him all the rights. Huo Qubing is also a proactive person on the battlefield, but because he came out of the system Yes, as long as Li Xiang sets a certain line for him, then he will never exceed this line.

After a short preparation, the two men immediately set off with five thousand cavalry. Looking at the backs of the two men as they set off, Li Xiang didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse. Anyway, he loaded them with everything that should be loaded. , this journey can destroy a large number of rebels, and it can also enhance the prestige of the Tang Dynasty. However, we must not encounter bad weather. If we encounter it, no matter how elite the army is, it will not be able to escape.

The people who surrendered in Xue Yantuo had a thorn in their hearts. There were no one of them in the pursuit team sent out. This shows that His Highness Taisun still doesn't believe them. Now they have killed so many people on the grassland, and their hands are all stained. The blood of their own people, if they can't get Li Xiang's approval again, then they will really have no way to live their lives in the future.

So just as Li Xiang expected, these people now have to risk their lives to express themselves and let Li Xiang see their abilities, so that they can have a future. The children have been sent to Chang'an to go to school. The future lies with the Tang Dynasty. The better they do, the smoother their children's future will be.

The camera zoomed back to Su Dingfang. In one day, they traveled three hundred miles. The farther west the land was, the smaller the population was. If the natural environment here was a little better, Xue Yantuo would probably be the best. Khan will not go to other people's land.

"Hachi Tamu, is this the flag of your khan?"

Ha Chi Tamu is Xue Yantuo's guide. He is familiar with all the terrain of Xue Yantuo. This time he was sent to be Su Dingfang's guide. He followed Su Dingfang's hand and saw a broken flag in the distance.

"If you tell me back to the general, it will be the original Khan's flag."

What surprised Su Dingfang was that he himself was from Xue Yantuo. Instead of being friendly at all, he actually gritted his teeth when he saw this flag.

"Your reaction is a bit wrong. Do you have that much hatred for Xue Yantuo's Khan?"

Huo Qubing, who was standing by, also noticed that something was wrong.

"The two generals don't know anything. Whenever this flag enters our tribe, it means that bandits and devils are coming. They do whatever they want in our tribe, leaving only a few days of dry food for us, and the rest All the belongings of our animals must be taken away. For example, if our animals are thin, we will take away all the fat ones. If we encounter a beautiful girl, no matter if she is a girl or someone else’s wife, we will take them all away.”

When Ha Chi Tamu talked about these people, he clenched the scimitar in his hand tightly with both hands. If there were still those people now, he could not wait to go over and chop them all down. His youngest son didn't have any He had enough nutrition, so he died in the snow. He had obviously prepared supplies for the whole family, but when these people came, there was nothing. His brother resisted these people and was eventually shot by these people.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he has deep hatred. Why was Li Xiang able to establish a foothold in Xueyantuo so quickly? In fact, it was Xueyantuo Khan who helped a lot. He himself did not promote benevolent government on the grassland, and those in his tribe did not give him any advice. He has a straight face, and if he dares to go a little too far, those people dare to go too far.

"Now you can feel better. This is the first flag we have found. Every time we find it, there are more than twenty dead people. There are still some that we haven't found. They are probably buried by the heavy snow. This time they fled westward and must have suffered a lot of losses along the way."

Su Dingfang pointed at the corpses around him and said, "Those people's faces were livid, and it looked like they hadn't eaten for a long time." Khan Xue Yantuo and his people fled in a hurry. It was impossible to bring all the daily necessities with them. Some of them.

These people usually rely on Xueyantuo Khan's power, but they are not Xueyantuo Khan's cronies. When there are not enough living materials, these people are also the first group to be abandoned.

"The general is right. They are our Khan's wolf guards. Most of them are from the Khan's own tribe. Only some of them were selected from other places. They lost some during the Turkic war. Later, they fought with the internal Some people lost some in the battle, and it is estimated that there are only about a thousand people left now."

Su Dingfang was also sighing when he heard that these people had such a title. No matter how prosperous you were in the past, you are now in such an embarrassing situation that you don't even have a place to get down.

"Don't talk about anything else. Our route should be correct. Let everyone rest for two hours. Then we will continue the pursuit. At the same time, I warn all the soldiers that no one can remove the black sand from their eyes. , if anyone dares to take it down, he will immediately hit 30 big boards."

Because of snow blindness, Li Xiang ordered a lot of black gauze from the mainland. These things are equivalent to sunglasses when covering his eyes.

But moving forward with such things, many people immediately felt uncomfortable, so some people took them off without authorization. Today, more than 30 soldiers could not see the road ahead clearly, so Su Dingfang had to tell them in the form of orders. None of them can violate military orders.

When talking about this, Su Dingfang suddenly thought of another thing. We people can't see clearly, and they will definitely do the same. No wonder there are so many corpses around, and these corpses are all in groups of more than a dozen people. The distance between them is not that close.

It must be that people like them can't see, so they can only listen to the sound of horse hooves in the distance and chase after them. However, relying on sound to identify the direction will still cause some mistakes. At the beginning, they can still keep up, but it takes a long time. If you make mistakes, your mistakes will become bigger and bigger, and you will eventually become separated from the larger group.

Xue Yantuo Khan was busy escaping and it was impossible to gather these people, so they became frozen corpses on the grassland...
