Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 283 Mantis Catching Cicadas
Jieli!

Tang Jian was shocked!
You know, it was not long ago that Xieli was defeated and disappeared, but how could there be people from East Turkic here!The most important thing is that the location where these people appeared was only two hundred miles away from the Pearl Khan Department. It can even be said that this area is actually within the sphere of influence of the Pearl Khan Department.

What does this mean?
In this short breath, Tang Jian thought of countless possibilities in his mind.Is it because Xieli and Pearl Khan have colluded for a long time, or is it unilateral Xieli has been designing?

"Why isn't it Pearl Khan?" Tang Jian's face was pressed against the mane on the horse's back as he was tied up on the horse's back. The friction between the ups and downs made Tang Jian's entire left face flush, but he still asked: "Jie Li has already retreated, it is impossible to dare to go deep into the Hetao, and it is even more impossible for you to be in Pearl Khan's place." Activities within the sphere of influence!"

Tang Jian also had this question in his heart.

Because as far as the current situation is concerned, if it weren't for the purpose-driven cooperation between the two parties, it would be impossible for Xieli to appear in Hetao.

After all, on the grassland, each tribe also has a strong sense of territory, especially these nomadic peoples, because the soil they live on is the grassland, and the absence of the grassland means that they cannot graze, and if they cannot graze, they will have no food.

As far as experience is concerned, when the army of one tribe appears on the territory of another tribe, the result is often that one side is occupied or the two sides have merged.

However, the Pearl Khan Department did not announce the merger with the Eastern Turkic Jieli Department. Not only that, if the Eastern Turkic Army used troops against the Pearl Khan, it would be impossible to hide the eyes and ears of the Tang scouts.

Although the grassland is vast and boundless, an army or tribe trying to hide is almost like a fish entering the river and sea. However, the location of the Pearl Khan Department has followed the old account of the original Jieli Department, so it is impossible to inquire about it. to the news situation.

Tang Jian's question obviously irritated the warrior leader.

In his heart, the combat power of the Zhuzhu Khan tribe seems to be incomparable to that of the Jieli tribe. More importantly, the Jieli East Turkic tribe has not only received contributions from the Tang Dynasty over the past few years, but has also entered the country since Yang Guang ascended the throne. After entering the period of rapid population growth, both their own strength and combat experience are far from comparable to a tribe like Pearl Khan who survived in the cracks and slowly developed, and Tang Jian's words are simply an insult to them!
As a warrior, as a son of an eagle, he was angry.

"Nonsense! We are the subordinates of Jieli Khan, how can we be soft people like Pearl?" The leader's face became extremely angry, as if it would be an insult to even talk about him and Pearl Khan together The same, angrily said: "And how could we retreat? Hmph! How could the wisdom of the great Jieli Khan be understood by you? Let me tell you, the Pearl Department is like an ant to us, and we can squeeze it gently with our hands. Hahahahaha!"

After all, they are barbarians, their brains are not working!
Tang Jian felt happy, and he found out the relationship between the two tribes in a few words, which undoubtedly made him feel a little relieved!
In Tang Jian's view, as long as the two tribes did not reach a relationship such as cooperation, then it would not be a big problem for Datang in a short period of time, and the most important thing is that from the words of this Turkic man who is obviously the leader, he It can be heard that the people of Eastern Turks look down on Pearl Khan very much.

And it is.

It can be said that even the Tang Dynasty did not dare to fight for its edge. In the past few decades, since Yang Guang ascended the throne, the Sui Dynasty even made peace with him. It is not difficult to see what the Jieli tribe was at that time. How tough.

And with the demise of the Sui Dynasty, Tang Jian could even think that the Jieli Ministry should have received a lot of bequests from the Sui Dynasty even through Princess Yicheng!You know, Princess Yicheng has always been a woman who has integrated Da Sui Jiangshan into her life. Since Suimie, he has married three khans successively, and all of them have won the trust of these three khans, so if there is no He doesn't believe in anything tricky to kill him.

The most important thing is that almost every East Turkic crime seems to have the shadow of Princess Yicheng!
Thinking of this, Tang Jian couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat!

Because at this time he couldn't help but think of a question, no wonder Zuo Wuwei was able to easily defeat the Eastern Turks at the beginning of the year, and it was even scary that everything went smoothly. Swept across the land of Hetao!

It was also at this time that the Pearl Department intercepted the fruits of Datang's victory, and suddenly led troops to occupy almost all the territory of the Jieli Department!

There is a problem, there must be a problem!

Is it a conspiracy?
Half lying on the bumpy horseback, Tang Jian groaned secretly in his heart. If all this was really as he had guessed, then the great skill of Xie Li this time made his mind go blank for a while!

Because all of this seems to revolve around one problem, that is, Xieli seems to want to see clearly the true strength of other tribes on the grassland through this so-called retreat!
Only when the Eastern Turkic tribe was defeated, would other tribes dare to take the lead, and dare to show their true strength to seize the vast pastures!
"It turns out that after you were defeated, you hid in Yinshan Mountain!" Tang Jian suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and continued to ask: "Aren't you afraid of Pearl Khan's revenge?"

He was referring to the fact that they appeared in Pearl Khan's sphere of influence.

"Revenge? Hahaha! There's no need for us to take action at all. Aren't your people already dealing with them?" The leader laughed, took a sip of water from his waist, and said with a smile, "Princess Yicheng has already seen it." Out of your Tang people's intentions, the Pearl Department will not be able to jump for a few days! His three sons have accepted the canonization of your Great Tang Emperor, and soon they will split up and attack each other, and our great Jieli Khan will lead The warriors of our tribe directly swept across the entire grassland. At that time, there was only one eagle that could fly on the entire grassland!
And at that time, your Shuofang, your entire northern land will be within our plundering range, and with your mere [-] defenders, we can kill more than half of them in one charge. Why resist our soldiers? "

Speaking of this, he smiled even more happily, as if he was laughing, and continued: "What's more, your Tang Dynasty has been plagued by natural disasters for years, and this year you have encountered a locust plague that has never happened in a century."
