Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1242

Tang army camp, in the military tent.

A group of people looked at Qin Tian.

"General, Xue Yantuo retreated like this. It seems that our mission has been completed."

"Yeah, they were defeated and fled back. Our mission is complete."

"General, when will the teacher return to the court?"

Seeing that Xue Yantuo was going back, all the generals were very excited, but Qin Tian shook his head: "Don't go back in a hurry, tell the soldiers to give me a good rest, and chase Xue Yantuo's soldiers tomorrow morning."

When they heard that the soldiers and horses who were going to pursue Xue Yantuo and fight Xue Yantuo again, everyone was stunned.

Their purpose is nothing more than to teach Xue Yantuo a lesson. Why are they still relentless now that they have achieved their purpose?
But no one dared to question Qin Tian's order, and soon, someone passed on the order.

The generals of the Tang army rested in the barracks for one night, and early the next morning, they gathered their troops and horses, and chased in the direction where Xue Yantuo fled.

Xue Yantuo fled early, and they had a lot of cavalry, so they were still very fast.

Although Tang Jun's speed was not slow, it seemed that there was always such a distance between him and he couldn't catch up no matter how hard he chased.

Soon, Xue Yantuo's troops returned to their own territory.

After returning to their own territory, the tribes did not gather together again, but quickly returned to their own territory.

They are very aware of their situation, especially those tribes with fewer soldiers and horses. If they stay with other tribes, they will be easily annexed. The best way is to return to their own territory.

Perhaps, their strength is weaker than other tribes, but they still have certain advantages in their own territory.

And it is such a little advantage, for them, sometimes it can save lives.

Xue Yantuo's various tribes dispersed in all directions. After Qin Tian's soldiers and horses entered the country, they did not continue to pursue and kill them, but set up camp and stopped.

"Brother Qin, now that Xue Yantuo's tribes are scattered, their strength is much weaker. We can break them one by one."

Qin Huaiyu quickly analyzed their situation. A tribe of Xue Yantuo only had 2 people. After tens of thousands of Tang troops killed them, they would definitely be able to kill them directly. It would be a pity not to have such benefits.

After Qin Huaiyu finished speaking, Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin also felt that it was true.

"Brother Qin, let's catch a tribe first and play with them. Killing one counts as one."

"That's right, that's right, fight them, fight them to death."

"........."

Cheng Chumo and the others were talking excitedly, but Qin Tian was silent and thoughtful. After a long time, he shook his head: "It's not good for us to kill them one by one."

Hearing this, Qin Huaiyu and the others were a little puzzled.

"Brother Qin, why is it disadvantageous for us to break them one by one?"

Qin Tiandao: "If we only have Xue Yantuo as an enemy, and we have enough time, we can destroy them one by one, but the problem is that we don't have so much time now, the longer we spend here, the more we need The more food and grass we have, the greater the pressure on the imperial court, once the imperial court cannot supply enough food and grass, we will go deep alone, and we will be in trouble."

When they came, the imperial court gave them food and grass, but it was not particularly much. They might give it later, but they had to consider the situation of the household department. If they didn’t have so much food and grass, they wouldn’t be able to support the rescue.

Moreover, the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Songzhou City also had to eat, and the court would really be overwhelmed by supplying so many soldiers with food and grass all at once.

If they can solve the battle quickly, they must solve the battle quickly, and if they solve Xue Yantuo's tribe one by one, then they may not be able to destroy Xue Yantuo next year.

Really using such force to destroy a country has never been a matter of overnight.

Moreover, the most important thing was that if they wiped out one tribe, the other tribes would probably form a group soon. Once Xue Yantuo was in a hurry, they would unite as one, with a mere [-] Tang troops, they might not be able to defeat them.

The last time they were able to defeat Xue Yantuo was mainly because Xue Yantuo's tribes were not on the same page, but when they were really facing life and death, they might hug each other tightly.

People are like this sometimes, unite when needed, and fight against each other when not needed.

Whether to unite or fight against each other depends on the situation and danger they encounter.

Therefore, Cheng Chumo's idea of ​​destroying Xue Yantuo's tribes one by one is obviously not feasible.

Qin Tian told Cheng Chumo and the others about the situation, Cheng Chumo and the others were a little dumbfounded when they heard this.

"Brother Qin, we can't break them one by one, so what should we do now? We've chased them all the way here, so we can't just go back like this?"

"Of course we can't go back like this. If Xue Yantuo doesn't admit that he surrendered to our Great Tang, bow his head to my Great Tang, and submit a surrender form, what are we?"

"That is, if Xue Yantuo is not allowed to admit to being a vassal, we will not count as meritorious service."

Defeating Xue Yantuo is defeating Xue Yantuo, but they have made great achievements only if Xue Yantuo bowed their heads to their Tang Dynasty.

It's just that if you want Xue Yantuo to become a vassal, you have to defeat them, but now that they are scattered like this, it is not easy to defeat them, and even if they do not disperse, they gather together again, and if they are united, they will not be able to defeat Xue Yantuo .

They now face a very troublesome problem.

Everyone turned their attention to Qin Tian.

"General, how can Xue Yantuo bow his head and become a minister?"

Qin Tian thought for a while, and finally spoke after a long time, saying: "It's easy to make Xue Yantuo bow his head and become a vassal, don't they want to make peace with my Tang Dynasty, if our Tang Dynasty is willing to marry the princess to Xue Yantuo, then Zhenzhu Khan will naturally Will bow down to my Tang Dynasty."

If he can get married, Zhenzhu Khan's goal can be regarded as achieved, and bowing his head to become a minister is nothing more than a face-saving project. It has never been a big deal to many countries. Don't mind this thing anymore.

However, as soon as Qin Tian finished speaking, Qin Huaiyu's expressions changed a little strangely.

They looked at Qin Tian differently.

"Brother Qin, what you said is true. Didn't you always disapprove of making a kiss?"

"Yeah, if you didn't approve of marriage, I, Tang Dynasty, wouldn't have the attitude I have now?"

"What does Big Brother Qin mean? Does it mean something else?"

Everyone looked at Qin Tian and asked, they really didn't understand what Qin Tian meant, what exactly was he going to do?
