The wind was cold.
Ten horsemen lined up.
Listening to the roar of horse hooves rolling around my ears, I watched the center line approach in the dark sky.
Ashnasser narrowed his eyes slightly, picked up the bow and arrow behind him, pulled an arrow from his waist and shot it.
The sound of breaking the air sounded in the air and burst into the ground.
Tianxiang Khan''s eyes reflected the falling shadow, strangled the horse and raised his palm.
The thousand horses behind him slowly slowed down, and the sound of hoofs shaking through the wasteland gradually dissipated.
Looking up at the high slope a few feet away, Tianxiang Khan shouted at the figure in the night.
"But general ashner?"
"Why did you invite me here?"
On the earth slope, the figure on the horse hugged slightly, which was entirely the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty. Although it was night, the outline could be vaguely seen by the moonlight.
"Tianxiang Khan, the Tang Bingfeng has arrived in the western regions. You and I were hostile. Logically speaking, I shouldn''t have come."
"Considering that East and West Turks have the same root and origin, how can I bear you to follow the example of East Turks and come to persuade Khan."
The expression was respectful, and there was no disrespect in the words, but the content made Tianxiang Khan particularly unhappy.
Slightly clenching his teeth, Tianxiang Khan''s eyes became sharp.
"So, are you going to persuade me to return to Datang and be a running dog of Datang like you?"
Harsh words came into the ears of the deputy general next to ashnasher, and his heart suddenly became restless.
The war horse under the crotch seemed to feel, fidgeting to scrape the horse''s hooves and shake the horse''s tail.
"Tianxiang Khan, my general is so polite to you."
"Don''t make a toast or drink!"
As soon as the voice fell, Hu Luju at the foot of the slope burst out laughing and pointed to the people on the slope.
"Fine wine? Why not?"
"Look at your costumes, look at your actions, where are the grassland people''s half posture?"
"You Datang running dogs have done a thorough job. If you have been a thief, you have to persuade others?"
The deputy general beside him couldn''t get used to the word "running dog". His anger increased greatly. He shook the reins and wanted to scold the past.
A pair of big hands stopped by, and ashnasher''s voice was quite low.
"Don''t get angry. We do what we should do."
When he withdrew his palm, ashnasher looked down the slope and said in a deep voice.
"Ten tribes with surnames, but only 100000 troops and horses, the number is less than that of the Tang army, and the tiger division is not as good as the eastern Turks. What do you... Take to fight?"
Hearing this cold question, everyone present weighed it up in their hearts.
Ashnasher''s words came again.
"Don''t you think about the strength of East Turks and the wisdom of Jieli Khan? Have you ever compared one or two of them?"
If there is room for refutation of the previous words, but these words seem to pour a basin of cold water on everyone''s heart.
Jieli Khan is recognized as a rare genius in a century on the grassland. The tiger division trained is even more powerful. Few people talk about force.
If you try to compare East and West Turks, it''s worse.
Seeing the silence, Hu Luju was a little flustered. "Whoosh" took out his machete and pointed to the figure on the earth slope.
"Hum! Just a few words, like bewitching the public?"
"I am surrounded by Western Turkic mountains and rocks, and there is a vast sand sea barrier. Is it easy for the Tang army to conquer?"
"It''s your grassland tribe, begging for mercy and kneeling for glory. It''s disgusting."
After that, he turned to look at the angry Tianxiang Khan and said.
"Khan! Don''t quarrel with this guy!"
"When I go to cut off this dog''s head and sacrifice the flag, I''ll see what else he can do!"
The voice that was about to lead the horse forward was stopped. Tianxiang Khan smiled coldly and said.
"Ashnasher, if you just come to persuade me to surrender today, you will find the wrong person!"
"I give you a chance to reconsider today. If you can talk about the deployment of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, maybe I can reward you with a whole corpse when I am happy."
The figure standing on the earth slope was not afraid at all. Overlooking the people under the slope, he laughed wantonly.
"Tianxiang Khan, Tianxiang Khan, I don''t think you can tell right from wrong, good from bad, and the overall trend."
"If I dare to go alone, I will be able to retreat. Why do you need to reward me?"
As soon as the voice fell, the faces of the West Turks changed slightly.
Is this really ashner''s plan to lure troops? Are there ambushes around?
Or did the previous scouts not find the location of the army?
For a moment, the scene was a little chaotic, and many people looked around.
But in this flat terrain, in addition to the continuous hills attached to the earth slope, where is the shadow of an ambush?
In doubt, a voice came faintly from the earth slope.
"After walking for such a long time, did you not find that all the tribes ordered to migrate along the way disappeared?"
"Have you never thought about why there was no news from the tribal people on the front line when the war continued in the wasteland?"
Faint words with the cold wind, blowing in everyone''s ears.
The problem that has always been neglected was mentioned this time. When he looked at the earth slope again with dismay, there was still a figure of ashnasher.
It was only this time that the leader of Tianxiang Khan fully realized that he was put together by ashnasher.
Angrily, he drew out his waist machete, pointed to the empty earth slope and roared.
"Chase me!"
"Cut off this group of things that don''t know heaven and earth."
The rumbling horseshoe began to think about spreading on the slope, but it was still mixed with a lot of confused voices.
"Yes, what about our tribes that avoid the war?"
"They didn''t join our army. Where did they go?"
