Chapter 79 Frontier
Not to mention the shock of this incident in the Tang Dynasty, even Jieli from Monan was shocked.For him, Long Feiyu knew these three characters very well. Although he had never met him, he had learned a lot about his methods.Losing a son in middle age is not painless, even though he intends to go to conquer, but that bastard Tuli is fighting against him at this time.Let him dare not act rashly, and Long Feiyu and Tuli have an ambiguous relationship. Once there is something between them, the other party will definitely not sit idly by.

After the originally powerful Turks were divided into two parts, the East and the West, they are no longer the same as before.Now, their vitality has been cut off one after another by this Long Feiyu.The Tang Dynasty had a large population, and an army of 10,000+ casualties would not hurt the muscles, but the Turks could not. After such losses a few times, the Turks would have no soldiers to send, and the grasslands would be full of old, weak, sick and disabled.

In order to prevent further deterioration of the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, Xieli was walking back and forth in the tent full of anxiety.A beautiful young woman outside the tent walked in with a smile. If it weren't for the occasional wrinkles on her forehead, few people would know that this person is over 40 years old.

She walked into the big tent slowly, looked at the anxious Jie Li and thought for a while, "Is Khan sad because of Long Feiyu's appearance?"

Jieli glanced at the visitor, sighed, and said, "My invincible Turkic army has been defeated repeatedly in the face of this Long Feiyu. The Turkic situation is worrisome if this continues."

The visitor smiled and said: "Khan, don't forget that you are the king of this grassland. Our people have lived on horseback since they were born, and how can the soldiers trained by the people of the Tang Dynasty have the innate ability to come here?" Alright. Regardless of Long Feiyu's outstanding military exploits, he has never had any outstanding achievements in field battles except for sneak attacks and relying on terrain. The Battle of Mobei was won only after the Western Turkic soldiers."

Jieli said helplessly: "But the way of war has always been to make a decision before moving. A good strategy is worth thousands of troops. This Long Feiyu is an expert in playing tricks, so he simply let Tuli go. Now that that idiot came back, our Turkic army has been divided into two parts, with that bastard Tuli, we are like transparent people in front of Long Feiyu."

The woman shook her head and said: "Khan don't have to worry, the rise of the Tang Dynasty is something that no neighboring country wants to see. You can establish an alliance with Huihe, Tiele, Rouran, Khitan, Koryo and other countries, and fight against the Tang Dynasty together one after another. Then let someone tell Turkic about his interests, and let him know that he is a Turkic, and if the Turkic people are defeated by the Tang people, then he will undoubtedly become a man of subjugation."

At this time and place, the folk customs are tough, and everyone has a strong concept of the nation. It is not what Tuli wants to see as a subjugated person, and the woman just grasped this point to warn Xieli.

Xie Li deeply agreed with the woman's words, but thinking of Long Feiyu, he still said nervously: "Then what about Long Feiyu?"

The woman said with a noncommittal smile: "The Han people value the covenant the most. At this time, I, the Turkic people, are in danger, and it is not the time to quarrel with the people of the Tang Dynasty. We can send envoys to reprimand Long Feiyu, and at the same time, write a letter to the Tang Dynasty, requesting The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty made an explanation for my dead Turkic soldiers, otherwise my Turkic army would attack Tang Jing with 20 troops."

After the woman's voice fell, Xie Li nodded in agreement.He laughed and said, "Now I am suffering from a natural disaster in Turkic, and the Emperor of Tang Dynasty has not yet consolidated the situation in the court. It is not conducive to the war between us. This is the best reason. In order to buy time, the Emperor of Tang Dynasty will definitely give us an explanation."

The woman nodded and said: "I heard that Master Liang's cousin, Liang Luoshi, has a daughter as beautiful as a flower. Khan can let little Khan go to marry her. Our relationship with Master Liang will be stronger."

Jieli said with some reluctance: "This Liang Shidu is also an incompetent person, why should we get too close to him?"

The woman said noncommittally: "Khan, don't forget, it's not without reason that Long Feiyu came to this land of Wuyuan. This Liang division is too close to Chang'an. He was the one who surrounded Chang'an with our army last time." Responded. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty was afraid for a long time. He wanted to attack Master Liang. Now that I, Turks, are short of clothes and food, Master Liang can also pay attention to his situation. Once Long Feiyu cuts off the relationship between him and the Turks If we communicate with each other, Master Liang will be the softshell in the urn. So as long as we get married with Master Liang, he will be very happy to send clothes and food."

Xieli admired his wife a little bit, although it was four-handed, but this was also their Turkic custom.He could also see that this wife wanted to avenge the dying Sui Dynasty.Although he is suspected of being used again, if Datang rises, Xieli will never feel better.For his own survival, he was willing to be used as a last resort.

After setting up the strategy, Xieli started his own dream, went to make peace, ally, interrogate, one by one, walked out of the Turkic camp, and ran away in all directions.

At this moment, in Wuyuan City, the entire city wall was completely dilapidated due to the army's continuous attack for a month. In order to strengthen the defense here, Long Feiyu specially ordered people to start building a castle on Calabash Valley.

Seeing his actions, Liu Zhenbei hurriedly reminded him kindly: "General, some people have tried to build a city on Calabash Valley, but here in summer, there is a lot of rain, lightning and thunder, and it is easy to be struck by lightning. It was damaged by a lightning strike and a sky fire."

Long Feiyu waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about this, just add a faucet to the edge of the eaves and connect it to the ground with wire. You should know what it does, right?"

Liu Zhenbei snorted, touched his forehead with his hand and said, "That's right, I almost forgot that the faucet can prevent lightning."

Long Feiyu shook his head and said: "It's not that the faucet is anti-electricity, but the iron wire connected to it can transmit lightning to the ground. If the iron wire is not connected, the roof will still catch fire."

Although Liu Zhenbei didn't understand what this meant, he had heard that it could prevent lightning strikes.Now that there is a solution, he still has no objection to Long Feiyu building the city here. After all, if there are troops stationed here, Wuyuan City will be unbreakable.

The arrival of Long Feiyu made the originally noisy grassland lose its original madness, and the smell of burnt corpses permeated the whole grassland.The bloody smell coming from the Gourd Valley announced the final destination of this land. They were helpless, but there was nothing they could do.

They thought they could still be as unscrupulous as before, but the iron cavalry of Datang told them what the price of crossing the border would be.In the past few days, Long Feiyu has used Wuyuan City as the boundary, from east to west, along the border of the Yellow River, and distributed the government's announcements.

One by one, the centurions scattered out for their own units with official announcements.As for Li Xu, Li Shouyi led a large group of people to kill in the direction of Shuofang.

For a while, screams and cheers coexisted on both sides of the Yellow River. From time to time, Tang troops patrolled past, and the majestic voice rang out everywhere in Tang Jing.

Not far from Wuyuan City, a Turkic tribe is stationed here.Originally, they planned to advance into Hetao, but after Long Feiyu came, they ran aground this plan.The army that gallops past from time to time tells them the ownership of this land.

In a simple house covered by thatch in the tribe, a group of ragged Han people are gathering here.They are the common people that Jieli invaded Taiyuan a few years ago, and now they live like slaves in this tribe, and they do all the hard work.

At this moment, a strong and powerful man in the tent said righteously indignantly: "Second Grandpa, you always say you have to bear it. How long have we endured it? Don't let the sky go."

On the other side, an old man with white beard and hair sighed and said: "I won't live long, don't act rashly, Wuyuan has a powerful general, and he beat the Turkic people so that they dare not speak out, they are very angry these days. They always take our anger out on us, and now they are afraid that the general will kill them. They have set up several levels of checkpoints in this generation, making it more difficult to escape. It doesn’t matter if I die, you are the hope of the clan, you must not act on your will.”

While talking, the thatched hut was suddenly opened, and a disheveled young man walked in excitedly with a sheepskin roll in his hand.He said to the old man, "Second Grandpa, good news, take a quick look, this is a letter distributed on the grassland by the guard of Wuyuan."

Hearing that the old man Tang Chao moved excitedly towards the fire, he looked at it by the faint light of the fire.Long Jiu excitedly said: "Okay, what a young general, how dare he act like this."

Hearing the old man's praise, the strong man who spoke just now hurriedly asked: "Second Grandpa, what did the letter say? Are you so excited?"

The old man excitedly said: "Your Majesty sent a general named Long Feiyu to Wuyuan."

"Long Feiyu? Second grandfather, I have heard of this man. People from this tribe escaped from the Mobei War. I heard them chatting about this man. I heard that he overwhelmed the Western Turks with one arrow. He led [-] allied troops of various ministries to defeat the Turkic army of [-] in one fell swoop, and shot Xieli's son to death with one arrow. I heard that the army set up by Zuo Dadu was wiped out outside Wuyuan City a few days ago."

Hearing what the young man said, the old man smiled in relief and said, "Young people are awesome."

The two people on this side talked nonchalantly, but the strong man on the other side said anxiously: "What did the second grandfather say in the letter? You really miss it."

The old man smiled and said: "The letter said that all the Han people scattered all over the grassland should go to the nearest city to report, register and make a book. Those with families will be ordered to return to their hometowns, and those without families will be resettled by the government. They must all return within half a month. It is recommended that those who fail to return within the time limit will be treated as Turkic people, once found, they will be deported, and if they are distributed into the country, they will be killed."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, the strong man said excitedly: "Second Grandpa, what are we waiting for, let's go."

The old man shook his head helplessly, and sighed, "I'm afraid I can't escape from the current situation."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, the shaggy-haired young man arrived: "Second Grandpa can't go if he doesn't leave now. I heard from them that the Tang army is making a fuss. Every day, a large group of people patrols the grasslands, and they have stopped those who cross the border near Shuofang and Wuyuan. Turkic soldiers beheaded several times. Their tribe was originally led by Dadushi, but Dadushi was killed. They were afraid of suffering disaster, and they were ready to retreat to the depths of the grassland. If they retreated, we would I can never go back, I will be a slave for the rest of my life."
