Chapter 1304: Pulling the Burning Death (Part 2)

Bazhuo was blocked by Wuhe by the river. In a rage, he led his remaining soldiers to rush towards Wuhe, preparing to fight with the other party to die together. Unfortunately, Wuhe sneered at this time, and then waved his hand, and the cavalry behind him immediately showed off countless powerful crossbows, which scared Bazhuo in front of him. Then countless crossbow arrows flew like raindrops, and the guards beside Bazhuo also fell down layer by layer.

In the blink of an eye, more than half of the personal guards around Bazhuo were injured or killed, and even Bazhuo was shot by an arrow, but this made him even more angry, because crossbow arrows were not something they could make. Only the Tang Dynasty had such sharp crossbow arrows. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty had extremely strict control over crossbow arrows and did not allow them to flow out of the Tang Dynasty. Now Wu He took out so many powerful crossbows at once, which was enough to show how deep his collusion with the Tang Dynasty.

"Kill them all except Ba Zhuo!" At this time, Wu He ordered loudly again that more than half of the guards beside Ba Zhuo had died or injured, and the rest were not worth worrying. He also had an advantage in military strength, so he wanted to capture Ba Zhuo alive.

With Wu He's order, the Uighur cavalry behind him immediately rushed over like a pack of wolves. The personal guards beside Bazhuo were fighting to the death, hoping to fight a bloody way to protect Bazhuo from escaping, but their number was too small, and after the escape in the middle of the night, they were already exhausted. At this time, they were no match for the Uighur cavalry, and they had already suffered all casualties in just half an hour.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Ba Zhuo was unwilling to face the reality. However, he did not want to fall into Wu He's hands, because he knew that if he was captured, he would probably suffer humiliation and would rather die than die. Therefore, he was also cruel and swung his knife to chop his neck.

"Swish~" However, before the scorching knife was cut to his neck, he suddenly heard a sound of breaking through the air. Then he felt his wrist hurt severely when he lifted the knife, and the scimitar in his hand fell down. It turned out that Wu He had been on guard against him for suicide, and actually shot through his wrist with an arrow.

However, Ba Zhuo was determined to die. One hand was destroyed, but the other hand immediately pulled out a sharp arrow from the arrow bag and inserted it into his throat. Unfortunately, although his movements were fast, it was too late. At this time, several Uighur cavalry immediately rushed over from the horse's back and threw him to the ground. Then they were tied up and could no longer move.

"Wuhe! I trust you so much, but you betray me. If you still have some conscience, kill me now and don't let me be humiliated!" Bazhuo cursed at this time, but in the end, he already had a bit of pleading, because he knew that if he fell into the hands of the Tang army, it might be better, but if it fell into the hands of the Uighurs, he might be surviving and dying.

"Hehe, Khan, your life is very valuable. Maybe after we dedicate you to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will give us all your Xueyantuo pastures, so you don't have to struggle anymore!" Wu He smiled proudly at this time. Although he was a smug job placed by the Tang Dynasty by Ba Zhuo, he was not from Feinusi. In fact, he was only a cooperative relationship with the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty may hope to support him in the future to seize the Khan throne of the Uighurs, which is what he wanted.

When he heard that Wu He wanted to offer himself to the Tang Dynasty, although Ba Zhuo roared on the surface, he felt a little lucky. If he could see the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he might still have a chance of survival. After all, Jie Li was not killed by the Tang Dynasty at the beginning.

No matter how much Bazhuo roared, Wu He was unmoved at all. He ordered the entire army to return. In the afternoon, he finally returned to the Xueyantuo King's Court, which had been occupied by the Huihe. He saw that there were dead bodies and blood everywhere. The Xueyantuo people who dared to resist were all killed, and the rest were all put down their weapons and surrendered. After all, the strong are respected on the grassland, and surrender is not a shameful thing.

"Uncle!" Wu He came to Wangting, and immediately a gray-haired old man led his troops to greet him, which made him hurriedly go forward to perform the ritual. This old man was the Khan of Uighur. However, although Wu He was respectful to his uncle on the surface, he had actually coveted his position as a khan.

"Wuhe, you brought Bazhuo back. It's such a great achievement!" Tu Midu saw Bazhuo tied to the horse's back at a glance, and then laughed loudly. However, although his laughter was generous, there was no smile in his old eyes, because he also knew that his nephew had long been eyeing his position and even refused to join the Tang Dynasty. Although he had a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty, he did not even make a detailed work of the Tang Dynasty like Wuhe.

"Uncle, what should Bazhuo be dealt with?" Wu He also knew that Tu Midu didn't like him, so he didn't take his praise to him seriously. Instead, he asked directly about dealing with Bazhuo. After all, Tu Midu is the Khan of the Uighurs now, and the reason why Tu Midu agreed to send troops this time was that in addition to seeing the decline of Xue Yantuo, the Tang Dynasty also promised some benefits to the Uighurs.

Tu Midu suddenly sneered when he heard Wu He's words, then suddenly pulled out his waist knife and chopped off Ba Zhuo's head with one knife. Tu Midu was too close to Ba Zhuo, and his movements were too sudden, which made Wu He not have time to stop him. By the time he reacted, Ba Zhuo's head had fallen to the ground, and even his face was a little confused. I guess he wouldn't understand why Tu Midu wanted to kill him before he died?

"Uncle, what are you doing?" Seeing that Tu Midu actually killed him with one knife and finally captured Bazhuo alive, Wu He couldn't help but furious and said, "Bazhuo alive is naturally more valuable than Bazhuo who died. What's more, he wanted to rely on offering Bazhuo to pay merit to the Tang Dynasty, but now he was killed by Tu Midu with one knife. How can he not be angry?

"Hehe, if Bazhuo is alive, Xue Yantuo will have hope of revival, and Xue Yantuo's tribe will not be willing to surrender. The Tang Dynasty is too far away from here, so they can take Bazhuo away, but we have to continue to survive here and even rule Xue Yantuo's pasture. If Bazhuo is alive, we may not be able to rule here safely!" Tu Midu sneered.

He also knew what Wu He was thinking, but now Wu He was too close to the Tang Dynasty. If the Tang Dynasty really supported him, his Khan would not be able to sit jail. In addition, as he said, in order for the Uighurs to take over Xueyantuo's pasture and tribe, Bazhuo would be better than alive if he died.

"You..." Wu He naturally knew Tu Midu's intention, but he could not refute the righteousness of the other party, which made him secretly annoyed. If he had known this, he would have hidden Ba Zhuo just now and then secretly handed it over to the people of the Tang Dynasty.

"Okay, Wuhe, you are a good man of our Uighurs. Don't hurt the harmony for people like Bazhuo. And although Bazhuo is dead now, Xueyantuo has many tribes. If we want to completely defeat Xueyantuo, we still need to rely on the power of other tribes. I had already contacted Pugu and Tongluo before coming, but they were a little hesitant, but as long as they knew that we would kill Bazhuo, they would definitely bring troops to help, and then the big thing would be done!" Tu Midu smiled boldly again at this time, and a little proud flashed in his eyes. Although Wuhe was ambitious, he was still too tender to fight him.

Wu He also knew that he could not do anything to Tu Mido now, so he could only suppress his dissatisfaction and then began to discuss with Tu Mido how to attack other tribes of Xue Yantuo. However, before that, they massacred all the members of Xue Yantuo's royal family in the royal court to eliminate the possibility of Xue Yantuo's revival.

A few days later, when Pugu and Tongluo heard Bazhuo die in Tu Midu's hands, they immediately raised an army to attack Xue Yantuo. Speaking of which, Xue Yantuo has been strong over the years, and has vigorously suppressed the surrounding tribes. Even tribes like Uighurs, Pugu and others are merciless. This also makes the Uighurs and other tribes also extremely resentful to Xue Yantuo. However, in the past, Xue Yantuo was powerful, so they could only bury their resentment in their hearts. Now Xue Yantuo is weak, so they naturally will not miss this opportunity.

With the clearance of Xue Yantuo by the large tribes such as Uighurs, Pugu and Tongluo, and the fact that Xue Yantuo had no leader after Bazhuo's death, even members of the royal family were almost killed by Tu Midu and his uncle and nephew. As a result, they could not effectively resist at all. In the end, they were defeated by the Uighurs and other tribes. For a moment, the huge Xue Yantuo collapsed.

The lives of people in the grassland are very fragile. Perhaps an extremely strong man can kill his life if he gets sick, and the wealth on the grassland is also unstable. A pasture with countless cattle and sheep, or perhaps a strong storm can freeze most of the livestock to death. Similarly, the power on the grassland is also unstable, and the old and new alternate rapidly. Even the great empires such as the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Turks disappeared in the cold wind in the north, let alone a flash in the pan like Xue Yantuo.

However, although the large tribes such as the Uighurs and Pugu defeated Xue Yantuo, their number was too small, and they were really unable to completely destroy Xue Yantuo. But don’t forget that there was a Tang Dynasty next to him who was eyeing Xue Yantuo.

Not long after Bazhuo's death, Li Shimin sent generals Li Ji, Li Daozong, Zhang Jian and others to lead their troops into the northern desert. In particular, Li Ji merged the cavalry of the Uighur tribes and other tribes and entered Xue Yantuo's northern homeland. In the end, more than 5,000 were beheaded and more than 30,000 were captured and more than 30,000 people were captured. After this battle, Xue Yantuo was completely destroyed.

"Xue Yantuo has been destroyed, and the Mobei has been calmed down. The last obstacle to our annexation of the grassland has finally disappeared!" In Liangyi Hall, Li Shimin handed the good news sent by Li Ji to Li Xiu, Changsun Wuji and others, and said with a very relaxed expression that the "Pingbei Ce" presented by Li Xiu has also been improved. The Tang Dynasty also prepared a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources, which was almost wiped out the obstacle of Xue Yantuo.
