The emperor's uncle Yu Dan was eating grapes in his tent. Let alone the Tuyuhun grassland, even in the rich land of the Central Plains, it is not the season for production and it is impossible to eat them. But for Tuyuhun, the only thing
For the emperor's uncle, this thing is not a luxury thing. As long as he wants to eat it, someone will ride a fast horse and travel thousands of miles to bring it to him.
Although there have been a lot of troubles on the grassland recently, and tribes are being wiped out one after another, the emperor's uncle Yu Dan still has nothing to worry about, because his tribe is relatively strong, and the other is that it is far away from Liangzhou City.
It's already more than 800 miles away. Do those Tang troops dare to go deep into the hinterland?
What's more, when he first built the camp, he had already considered a sneak attack, so he built it against a mountain. He didn't worry about anyone rushing down from the mountain. He also placed two military camps on the left and right sides, no matter which direction the enemy approached him.
In the official village, the people under my command may discover it, so it is absolutely foolproof now.
What's more, based on past experience, no matter how ferocious the Tang army was, it would only take three months at most. If the battle could not be resolved within three months, then the Tang army would most likely retreat immediately. The Tang Dynasty seemed extremely powerful.
, but their money cannot keep up with the long-term use of soldiers on the grasslands. By then, the soldiers will not be able to adapt to the local life, and all kinds of things will happen one after another, and even one disease cannot be solved.
"Uncle Emperor, we received a letter from Xi Zuo in Liangzhou City. They said that another army has returned to the city recently. It seems that it suffered a disastrous defeat on the grassland. There were more than 8,000 people when they went out, and they have returned now.
More than three thousand people."
While the emperor's uncle was enjoying himself happily, his subordinates sent him another very happy news.
Two armies have retreated in the past few days. According to the information they received, the Tang Army sent a total of six armies to harass the grassland. So far, one-third of them have failed, and the remaining four armies are hidden deep in the grassland.
It has only been a month now, and already one-third of the army has failed. By the next month, these armies may not be able to hold on anymore. A Han wants to live on the grassland, but
Not that easy.
"Have you found the Great Khan's cavalry?"
Yu Dan suddenly remembered another thing. No matter how miserable the Tang army was defeated, it would not be able to change the situation immediately. A few days ago, the eldest princess disappeared from everyone's sight, so the Khan immediately sent out his men.
The elite searched for it and ordered other tribes to coordinate the search. But to everyone's surprise, the Great Khan's cavalry also disappeared.
"There is no news yet, but uncle, don't worry. The Great Khan's cavalry are the most powerful cavalry on our grassland. Nothing will happen to them. They should have got stuck somewhere. Now there are many places on the grassland.
We are all soldiers, and many tribes have already begun to migrate, so it is normal that we cannot find the eldest princess."
The people under him said comfortingly that they also knew that the cavalry under the Great Khan was the strongest. If something happened to them, the mentality of the people on the entire grassland might collapse. Before real evidence was found, everyone
None of them would say that the cavalry had been killed. Even if they had a bad premonition in their hearts, they would never say it out loud. Doing so would easily shake the morale of the army.
"A girl doesn't stay in the royal court and goes out to hunt all the time. Especially now, I don't know how much trouble she has brought to us in Tuyuhun. If she is caught back this time, I will look at her.
Does father still protect her?"
When it comes to the eldest princess, the emperor's uncle doesn't have a good impression. As the eldest princess of Tuyuhun, don't you know what the situation is now? Even if you want to hunt, it can only be on some grasslands in the south, casually.
He just ran to the battlefield in the north. If he was really caught by the Tang army, it would be a huge blow to the entire Tuyuhun army.
"Don't be stunned. Count the days and they have entered the depths of the grassland. From today on, all of you will lead me to patrol. Each person will bring a team of a thousand people. If Datang is discovered,
If there is an army, immediately send a warning on the grassland. No one can go over and fight them. I will kill them myself."
The emperor's uncle looked at his tent full of men and said, these people can be considered the elite on the grassland. They do nothing in this tent every day, and they haven't fought for a long time. The emperor's uncle doesn't know how big they are.
Strength, so you have to let them go out to practice at this time. If the Tang Army is discovered, then you can lead a large group of people to perform meritorious service immediately. Even if they cannot be discovered, let your soldiers go out and do some activities to avoid being caught.
Everyone was wiped out in the tribe.
"yes…"
These people under his command have also noticed that the emperor's uncle's patience has been getting less and less in the past two days. It is better to take people out for a walk while staying here. Anyway, we are surrounded by our own people and there is no danger after going out. If
If you continue to stay in the tent, you may be rejected by the emperor's uncle.
"Something bad has happened. Something bad has happened. Report to the emperor. The Kayan tribe to the west of us was attacked by the Tang army. They sent people to ask for help from us."
The soldiers here haven't gone out yet, and the messengers came in immediately. After the emperor heard the news, there was no trace of panic on his face, but he was very excited. After waiting for so long, he finally arrived. No matter you
Whichever way the Tang army is, I will lead my men to destroy you.
"How many Tang troops are there?"
Yu Dan stood up with a bang and knocked over the table in front of him. All kinds of rare fruits on the table rolled to the floor. But at this moment, Yu Dan no longer had the time to care about this. He just wanted to know what this Tang army had.
How many people, if the number is not large, he will lead his men to collect the credit.
"Report to the emperor, according to what they came here to say, there are at most 7,000 people."
After hearing the news, Yu Dan was overjoyed.
"What are you guys waiting for? Go out quickly and put on your armor and mount your horse. Today I will take you to destroy this Tang army. I will ask for your credit in front of the Khan tomorrow."
Emperor's uncle Yu Dan said excitedly, "People on the grassland have always said that they are useless. They have everything they have now because they were born in the Tian family. I will fight a good battle today and let you see what I am capable of."
