Chapter 30 Kangsumi Surrenders
Now panic is no longer enough to describe Jie Li's mood. Jie Li is controlled everywhere, but he still has confidence in his heart.
It is the most normal thing for the Turks to be unable to win or escape.
At worst, they hid in the depths of the northern desert, and when the Tang army retreated, they were returning.
Wasn't the Huns like this back then?
The three major expeditions launched by Emperor Wu of Han directly drove the Xiongnu out of the grassland and drove the Xiongnu to the north of the northern part of the desert, allowing the powerful and arrogant Xiongnu to cross the desert south, forming a situation where there is no royal court in the desert. But not long after, the Xiongnu came back and occupied the five counties including Wuyuan, Shuofang, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, and Yanmen again.
As long as they escape to Mobei and take a breath, they will eventually have a chance to make a comeback.
As for Xue Yantuo, Jie Li admitted that their leader Yi Nan was a character, but he did not give him a different look. As a newly rising tribe, how the Turks were in a down-and-out manner, the lean camel was bigger than the horse, and it was not something Xue Yantuo could bully him. If Xue Yantuo overestimated his ability to resist them, he would not mind teaching Yi Nan how to be a human being when he retreated into the north of Mo.
But he could not imagine that the situation would be so bad that the Tang army formed an encirclement in just a few days. In this situation, Xue Yantuo's existence became very important.
Tieler is a nation on the grassland that produces strong soldiers. They are not strong in strength, but they are more than enough to drag them for a day or two.
One or two days were enough to catch up with the Tang army and surrounded them from all sides, trapping them to death.
At this time, the little Xue Yantuo became the last straw that was about to sink into the Turkic Khanate.
Jie Li was completely stunned. All their ways out were actually allowed to kill the Tang army and seal it.
"Damn it! This is a killing! Really think that I, Jie Li, are muddy and have a good face?" Jie Li was extremely angry and extremely powerless. This powerlessness inspired his evil spirit, and said with his teeth: "Even if I die, Grandpa, I will break their arms."
"No!" The person who spoke was Yicheng. Although the Turkic Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty, Kedun, who was good at food and accommodation in the Turks, was not as good as the Central Plains' rich clothes and food. His weathered face was no longer as beautiful as before, but the fierce Danfeng eyes were still as sinister and ruthless. At this moment, she said tenderly: "There is a saying in our Central Plains that we can keep the green mountains without worrying about burning firewood. Fighting to the death is the stupidest. If you die, you will lose nothing. The Khan will also become the sinner of the Turks and become the deceased country in the future.
The object of the remnants' reviled is infatuated for thousands of years. The Khan intends to build the Turks into a country like the Han Dynasty. How can he die easily? Did Khan remember Goujian? I once told you that Goujian was defeated by King Fuchai of Wu. In order to please Fuchai, he did not hesitate to taste the feces for Fuchai and endure all humiliation. In the end, he colluded to defeat the King of Wu. He killed the King of Wu and found all humiliations. Until now, only Goujian defeated the Kingdom of Wu. He did not know that Goujian had suffered. This is what we Han people said, "A king succeeded and lost the enemy."
Speaking of this, she said earnestly: "As long as the Khan becomes the final winner, this process will be a good talk in the end, even if it is humiliated. Khan is really willing to give up your ambitions and become a sinner of the Turks?"
Jie Li was originally a person who cherished his life, and he was forced to fight to the death only when he was helpless. After a little persuasion, the courage to fight to the death was immediately eliminated, and his expression also relaxed.
Yicheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. What Jie Li did not matter to her. Whether the Turkic death or life was not related to her. Although she was the queen of the Kedun Turkic, she only had hatred for the Turkic without any favors. What she cared about was the Great Sui Dynasty: she married the Turkic far away at an early age. When she got on the sedan chair, she knew that the meaning of her living in this world was to promote the friendship between the Turkic and the Great Sui Dynasty and prevent the Great Sui Dynasty from the Turkic attacks. For this noble goal, she sacrificed her youth, first married the Qimin Khan, and then married the Qimin Khan's son Shibi Khan according to the customs of the Turkic. After Shibi Khan passed away, she married Shibi Khan's two brothers, Chuluo Khan and Jieli Khan.
For such things that are contrary to the concept, Yicheng has regarded herself as a rotten corpse. She sacrificed everything for the Sui Dynasty, but the Sui Dynasty was stolen by the traitor Li Yuan, and her efforts were not rewarded at all. She was unwilling to let it go. The meaning of her life now is to prove that her sacrifices over the years are valuable and meaningful.
She worked hard to welcome Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao to the Turks and persuaded Jie Li to preserve the great Sui Dynasty, which was why she was also dedicated.
Jie Li fought with the Tang Dynasty here, it was not her business, but if he lost the Turkic umbrella, the reign of the Sui Dynasty would be destroyed...
Yicheng could not do anything, and the Great Sui Dynasty perished like this.
Zhao Deyan also took the opportunity to say, "Khan, we are not completely out of no way out. Luo Shixin and Li Shiji defeated the Lane tribe, the Uk tribe, and the Ashide tribe all the way. But Li Jing covered up his eyes and avoided our army's defense line in the west and detoured to our Khan's house. Our troops in the West have not been weakened as a result. We can use their power to retreat to the West. We can seek refuge in Tuyuhun and Gaochang. They have a deep foundation in the West and hold the lifeline of the Silk Road. They are happy to take us in and deal with the Tang Dynasty with our power." After a pause, he continued: "Of course, the best choice is to seek refuge in Tongyehu Khan. The Western Turks are the real overlords of the Western Regions. Khan can follow Goujian and make a comeback with the help of Tongyehu's power."
This time, Jie Li did not angrily denounce Zhao Deyan. At this time of life and death, it was the best choice to defect to the Western Turks. Even if he was unwilling to do so, he had to admit this point.
Asunasmo, who had never spoken, said at this time: "No matter what, Tongyehu will keep the same blood as us. Instead of being enslaved by the people of the Central Plains, it is better to use the power of his own people."
Seeing that almost everyone agreed to flee to the west, Jie Li did not continue to insist and agreed.
After much thought, a group of people decided on their way to escape.
If their group of people sacrificed their lives and escaped, their target was too big and they would leave in batches.
Kang Sumi was responsible for protecting Yicheng and the Sui Dynasty emperor Yang Zhengdao, and Empress Xiao took the lead, and they led the soldiers and clan members to come.
That night, Kang Sumi set out secretly and led more than a thousand people to the west without knowing it.
No one expected that Kang Sumi had walked thirty miles at night, and ordered to turn around and drive towards the direction of Jikou.
************
When the Turks evacuated Jikou, Luo Shixin did not rush to lead the army down to Jikoupo, but continued to send scouts to inquire about the news in order to determine whether Li Jing's reinforcements arrived or Li Shiji's.
The scout had not yet brought any reinforcements, but Luo Shixin rarely received information from the Turks.
A group of Turkic soldiers with less than a thousand people rushed from the northwest to the Jikou, with the purpose of which seemed to be where they were.
Luo Shixin was full of surprise when he received the news. He sent someone to observe closely and confirmed that there were no Turkic ambushers around him. He decisively ordered Xue Wanjun to lead 5,000 cavalrymen to surround and kill the group.
"What did you say? Say it again?"
Luo Shixin and Liu Rengui looked at each other.
Xue Wanjun led his troops to attack, and he sent his personal guards to repay him within three hours.
The personal guard said concisely, "The Turkic general escorted their Kedun, the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, to surrender."
In just a few short words, the amount of information was really large. Luo Shixin couldn't help but doubt his ears.
"General Xue led his troops to surround the Turkic soldiers. The Turkic soldiers did not resist and directly threw away their weapons and surrendered to General Xue. The leader of the Turkic leader Kang Sumi was still Kang Meimi, which showed his intention to surrender and also escorted the Turkic Kedun, the emperor and queen of the Sui Dynasty, together."
"Haha! This... God is standing on my side too!"
Luo Shixin had not yet figured out the reason, but the pie that fell from the ground was not eaten or not. He transferred some troops to support him and issued an order to ask Kang Sumi to come first and explain the situation in detail.
"Turkish Kangsumi pays homage to the general..." Kangsumi's Chinese is not very good. He was not an orthodox Turkic nobleman and had never learned Chinese when he was young. Until he grew up, his status improved. He found that among the upper Turkic people, he could not speak Chinese as illiterate and would be despised, so he was forced to learn again. However, due to the character of the accent, although he mastered Chinese, he was very stingy and chewed in words, and he felt a little uncomfortable when he listened to Luo Shixin.
However, looking at Kang Sumi's appearance, Luo Shixin didn't want to be demanding anything. In the cold north, the grassland man in front of him was sweating profusely, and could only smile happily: "Don't be nervous, I'm just asking you a few questions."
Kang Sumi saw that the demon he dreamed of every night was so kind, and felt a little calm in her heart, and she still answered stiffly: "Master General..."
"Why should I surrender? What is the situation of our other two armies in the Tang Dynasty?"
Kang Sumi secretly glanced at Luo Shixin. Although Luo Shixin was wearing soap armor, his handsome face was tall and thin, and his figure did not look like the evil spirit in his memory. "There is an old saying in the Central Plains that a big bird chooses a tree to rest. I am from the Western Regions. The survival and death of the Turks have nothing to do with me. Now the three armies of the Tang Dynasty have arrived near the Khan Court. The Turks have no strength to fight back. I don't want to follow the Turks to be enemies with the general."
He was originally a Hu Shang in the Western Regions, but because he was robbed by horse thieves, he was fled to the Turks and was rescued by Shibi Khan and became a Turkish general.
In the attack and defense battle of Jikou, Luo Shixin's bravery like a god scared Kang Sumi's three souls and six souls were missing. He really couldn't raise the courage to be an enemy of him. The Turks fell to death, so he simply surrendered to Luo Shixin to avoid meeting him on the battlefield... (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
