Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 353: In front of me, there is only submission and death!

Yiwu.

On the tall city wall, King Yiwu stood respectfully behind a general in armor, with a smile on his face.

"General, most of the people in Yiwu have changed their flags to the Tang Dynasty flags. Even some people in Yiwu who have connections with the Yiwu tribe know the news that our Tang Dynasty soldiers have entered Yiwu."

"I think the leader of the Yiwu tribe, Tuozhuobuzha, should have received the news."

King Yiwu glanced at Guo Xiaoke, who had his back to him, and continued, "I wonder what the general's intention is?"

"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

Guo Xiaoke responded calmly, looking into the distance.

After being retorted by Guo Xiaoke, King Yiwu did not dare to get angry, but still nodded with a smile.

In the distance, dozens of figures appeared on the plain.

King Yiwu raised his eyebrows. It was the scout sent out by Guo Xiaoke.

Judging from the direction they are returning from, is it possible that the Tang Dynasty is really going to take action against Yu Gushe?
Ding Ding Deng!
"General."

"how?"

"General, we were thirty miles away from the Yiwu tribe and quickly retreated after discovering the Yiwu tribe's cavalry. I think they must have discovered us as well."

"Um……"

Guo Xiaoke nodded and said, "Go down and have a rest."

"Yes."

The scout left.

Su Chen, what exactly are you going to do?

Guo Xiaoke looked into the distance, constantly thinking in his heart about Su Chen's intention of entering the grassland this time.

After receiving the message from Xue Wanche, Guo Xiaoke brought his troops to Yiwu Kingdom to cooperate with Su Chen's actions.

Now that Yiwu Kingdom has been conquered by the Tang Dynasty, he has already prepared the scene. The Yiwu tribe will surely get the news soon.

So what will he do next?
"Report!"

"General, news has come from Ganzhou that a 20,000-strong army led by General Wang Yunfei from Liangzhou, Ganzhou, and Suzhou has assembled and is less than 20 miles away from Yiwulu."

Wang Yunfei?
Guo Xiaoke nodded. He had some impression of this man. He was a brave general who was good at fighting.

It was just because of some reasons that he was thrown into Ganzhou.

Compared with the calm Guo Xiaoke, King Yiwu felt a little nervous.

Guo Xiaoke personally led 2,000 elite soldiers to Yiwu, and now the Tang Dynasty has assembled another 20,000 troops and is heading to Yiwu...

"General, are we going to take action against Yu Gushe?"

"I just said that."

Guo Xiaoke turned around and looked over. "Your Majesty, there is no need to ask too many questions, nor to be too nervous."

King Yiwu forced a slight smile.

not nervous?
How is that possible!
How many available troops are there in Yiwulu?
Guo Xiaoke's two thousand elite soldiers alone would be enough to give them a hard time, not to mention that now there is another twenty thousand troops coming.

If one thing goes wrong, Yiwulu will be gone!
"Yes, yes, the prince has already set up a banquet in the palace. General Guo, what do you think?"

"No hurry, wait until Wang Yunfei comes, then we can go together."

"it is good."

King Yiwu nodded, turned around and gave a few instructions, then came to Guo Xiaoke to listen.

Guo Xiaoke smiled indifferently. He naturally understood what King Yiwu meant, but he did not point it out.

after all.

Their fate is already determined.

……

Yiwu tribe.

Each tribe member drove the tribe's sheep, horses, and cattle...

There were also many women who were busy packing their belongings.

Relocation is not an uncommon thing for grassland peoples.

A tent and pots and pans can be packed up and taken away in minutes.

However, relocation during the current cold winter season is a rare experience.

Unless you get into big trouble.

"Do you really want to leave?"

“You have to leave!”

"Will the Tang Dynasty really take action against our tribe?"

"Heh, there are more than 20,000 Tang soldiers in Yiwu. Even my cousin is thirty miles away. He has spotted the Tang cavalry. Why don't he leave and stay here to die?"

"..."

Faced with the choice between life and death, some people may hesitate for a moment, but in the end there will only be one choice.

Su Chen sat in the tent, listening quietly to Sun Qiang's report.

"After the news spread, most of the Yiwu tribe members were willing to leave here, except for a small number of people who had connections with the Yiwu country, who were still hesitant."

"Tuozhuobuzha has arranged a group of warriors from the tribe to lead the way, and some younger tribesmen will follow the others."

"In addition, Tuozhuobuzha has also sent a letter to the leader of the Chumukun tribe in the name of the Khan of the Yiwu tribe. I think he will be welcomed by the Chumukun tribe."

Su Chen poured a cup of tea, and after Sun Qiang finished speaking, he said, "Those who have connections with Yiwu should leave first. Why are you hesitating?"

Sun Qiang smiled and said, "I was curious about this, too, and I asked about it specifically. It turns out that these people have private business dealings with people in Yiwu, so they are unwilling to give up."

Su Chen nodded in understanding.

One is a tribe on the grassland, the other is a kingdom on the Silk Road.

Each party has something that the other needs.

The exchange of interests between tribes and kingdoms would naturally give rise to a group of smugglers.

They exchanged the things they needed to survive and made a profit through private dealings.

Now that they have left here, their business will naturally be cut off.

It is understandable that you don't want to leave.

"Has there been any news from Yiwu?" "General Guo sent the news."

"Guo Xiaoke?"

"Yes."

Sun Qiang took out the letter and handed it to Su Chen, "Liangzhou, Ganzhou, and Suzhou have mobilized a total of 20,000 troops and have arrived in Yiwu State."

After Su Chen opened the letter and read it, he smiled and burned it. "It seems that Guo Xiaoke is ready to take action."

"Take down Yiwu Kingdom?"

Su Chen nodded.

This was already part of their plan, even though the Yiwu Kingdom has now returned to the embrace of the Tang Dynasty.

However, no one likes a fence-sitter.

Su Chen closed his eyes, and a map of the countries in the Western Regions appeared in his mind.

Yiwu, Gaochang, Yanqi...

In this way, all three have been taken down. Xue Wanche uses Yanqi in the middle as his base and marches towards Qiuci and other countries. If nothing unexpected happens, he can sweep across all the countries in the middle section of the Silk Road within half a month.

At that time, we can join forces with him, advance from south to north, flatten Changji Tingzhou, drive away Yugushe, take over the northern route, and reach Suiye City directly.

Su Chen knocked his head and thought, what remained was to unify the beliefs of all the Turkic tribes as soon as possible.

At this time.

Lu Fei's voice came from outside the tent, "Lord Thunder God, the leader wants to see you."

"Please."

"Lord Thundergod."

Tuozhuobuzha bowed and said in a deep voice: "Now the tribesmen in the tribe have already gone to the Chumukun tribe in batches. Lord Lei Shen, will you go with us?"

"nature."

Su Chen nodded with a smile, "Since the leader is able to stand with me, I will naturally ensure the safety of the Yiwu tribe."

Tuozhuobuzha was delighted and said, "Master Thunder God, please ride in the same carriage with me."

"it is good."

After walking out of the tent with Tuozhuobuzha, they saw many members of the Yiwu tribe gathered together and headed towards the Chumukun tribe.

Tuozhuobuzha had already prepared a carriage. The carriage looked very familiar and one could tell at a glance that it was carrying goods from the Tang Dynasty.

"Lord Thunder God, please."

"Khan please."

"Lord Thundergod is too polite. How can I be worthy of the title of Khan?"

Tuozhuobuzha smiled and waved his hand, and got on the carriage only after Su Chen got on.

The decoration inside the carriage is extremely ordinary, but practical.

Especially the small stove, which made Su Chen feel a little surprised.

"Lord Thunder God is from the Tang Dynasty, so he should be familiar with this thing, right?"

"nature."

Su Chen nodded, "Although I am only borrowing this body temporarily, I still know a little about these novel things."

Tuozhuobuzha sighed and said, "The Tang Dynasty not only occupies a vast territory in the Central Plains with abundant resources, but also has many talented people under its rule."

"It's hard to imagine how they made such a novel thing."

Su Chen: "Leader, there is no need to feel ashamed. The superiors only need to use others, why do they need to do it themselves?"

"That's what Lord Thundergod said."

Tuozhuobuzha smiled, filled a glass of milk wine for Su Chen and handed it to Su Chen.

Su Chen thanked him and took it, then smiled and said, "Chief, have you ever thought about becoming a great Khan?"

Great Khan?
Tuozhuobuzha raised his eyebrows, shook his head and laughed, "Yugushe Khan was only defeated, not dead."

Su Chen: "He is seeking his own death by not respecting the will of heaven this time."

There seemed to be a flame rising in Tuozhuobuzha's eyes, and he looked at Su Chen eagerly, "What does Lord Thunder God mean?"

"The Great Khan shall be ruled by the most capable!"

After leaving this sentence, Su Chen said no more.

Only Tuozhuobuzha was left holding the kumis, lost in silent contemplation.

Outside, snow and wind gradually started to blow, and wisps of cold air hit Su Chen, who couldn't help but tighten his clothes.

After all, it is in the northern frontier and the temperature is too cold.

Su Chen picked up a piece of charcoal and threw it into the stove, then saw Tuozhuobuzha slowly stand up, "Lord Thunder God, is it possible for my Yiwu tribe to live in the Khanate?"

“Why don’t you have confidence in yourself?”

"..."

Faced with Su Chen's question, Tuozhuobuzha didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Is it because the Yiwulu tribe has never become an important member of the royal court from the beginning to the end, or is it because most of the people of the Yiwulu tribe have been generals from the beginning to the end?

"Report."

"Reporting to the leader, we found the small Kecha tribe one mile away. They are also heading towards the Chumukun tribe. Their leader, Kumucha, hopes to go with us."

"The small tribe of Kecha?"

Tuozhuobuzha nodded thoughtfully, "I think they realized that Yiwu State had fallen into the hands of the Tang Dynasty, so they migrated ahead of time."

"Lord Thunder God, do you think we should accept their invitation to travel with us?"

"Then let's see how sincere they are."

Su Chen smiled slightly, "On the way to the Chumukun tribe, there are quite a few small tribes. Chief, do you think we can recruit them for our own use?"

Tuozhuobuzha's eyes sparkled, "What does Lord Thunder God mean?"

"Before me, there is only submission and death."

"Understood!"

Tuozhuobuzha nodded immediately and said, "Please wait for a moment, Lord Thunder God. I will be back soon!"
