One hundred and forty-eighth chapter in the grassland, the heart is in the Central Plains

Empress Xiao has experienced great storms and has also met all kinds of people. Since she dared to say such words to Kang Sumi, she already knew what kind of person Kang Sumi was. Empress Xiao believed in her eyes, and Kang Sumi would never betray her.

"The General has just said that the Tang army has captured Dingxiang City, and Jikou cannot be defended. The General should also make plans for your own future." Empress Xiao continued to whisper, "I am not afraid to tell the General that the old woman's younger brother Xiao Yu is now an important minister of the Li Tang Dynasty. Recently, he secretly sent someone to send a letter to invite the old woman to return to the Central Plains. Brother Yu said in the letter that the Tang Emperor has agreed that as long as the old woman takes her grandson back to the Central Plains, the Tang Emperor will not blame him.

If the general is willing to escort the old woman and her grandson back to the Central Plains, the old woman will definitely report to the Emperor Tang that the general will also enjoy wealth and glory. As far as the old woman knows, the Emperor Tang is a broad-minded person, and he treats those who submit to him with courtesy. With the ability of the general, he can still be valued by the Emperor Tang."

Kang Sumi hesitated but still did not express his attitude, but his heart was shaken.

He was struggling in his heart. If he agreed to Empress Xiao, it would be like betraying Jie Li Khan and betraying the Turks. If he did not agree to Empress Xiao, if he really waited for the Tang army to kill him, he would be spared from death? What's more, he was loyal to Jie Li Khan, but Jie Li Khan was flattered by his flattery.

Just now, Jie Li Khan even scolded him angrily and asked Zhao Deyan to ride on his head.

When Empress Xiao saw Kang Sumi hesitating, she glanced at the door again, leaned forward, and whispered: "The Tang army can attack Jikou at any time, and I hope the general will make a decision as soon as possible, and continue to suffer from the chaos!

The old woman knew that the general was loyal to Jie Li Khan, but the current Jie Li Khan was not the former Jie Li Khan and was not worthy of the general's loyalty. In the past two years, Jie Li Khan has appointed flattering ministers to carry out tyranny, which has caused many complaints from various tribes in the grassland tribes, and even tribal leaders have begun to resist Jie Li Khan's tyranny.

If the general is concerned, you can tell Jie Li Khan what the old woman said today, which is also considered as your loyalty to Jie Li Khan."

Empress Xiao once helped Emperor Yang of Sui seize power, and later interspersed among multiple forces, so she naturally had the means. She had already seen that Kang Sumi had a gap with Jie Li Khan. Now that the Tang army is coming, she just took this opportunity to lobby Kang Sumi to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

Empress Xiao has been wandering for many years and does not want to continue wandering. Anyway, she is always living under someone else's roof, so it is better to choose to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. If she surrenders to the Tang Dynasty, she can at least die in her hometown of the Central Plains.

Life in the grassland is not suitable for her.

She always thinks about the beautiful scenery, food, wine, and everything in the Central Plains is lingering in her mind.

Once upon a time, she relied on various forces to destroy Li Tang and reshape the glory of the Sui Dynasty, and even committed herself to the Turks. However, after two or three years, she saw the situation clearly. Li Tang's country was as stable as Mount Tai and could not be shaken.

Over the years, she has been paying attention to the changes between Li Tang and the Turks.

In the past three years, Emperor Li Erxiong of Tang Dynasty has been very talented and worked hard to govern and appoint wise ministers, which has suffered from war and restored and developed the Central Plains. The people have gradually begun to live and work in peace, and at the same time, they are preparing for war and are always ready to wash away the shame brought to the Central Plains by the Turks.

On the contrary, Jie Li Khan appointed flattering ministers and implemented tyranny, causing the various parts of the grassland to collapse. The Turkic people suffered natural disasters and man-made disasters, and continued to invade Li Tang, launching troops everywhere, but did not remain vigilant enough towards Li Tang.

Now that Li Tang's troops are on the grassland, they have captured Dingxiang City in a short time. Empress Xiao knew that the opportunity was coming. She decided to take her grandson and the former subordinates of the Sui Dynasty to surrender to Li Tang.

Emperor Tang once promised to submit to Li Tang in a letter to her by Empress Xiao’s younger brother Xiao Yu that he would be treated kindly.

After hearing Queen Xiao's words, Kang Sumi's lips moved and was about to respond, but suddenly a guard outside the door reported urgently: "General, Tang Jun is less than three miles away from Jikou. Khan ordered you to go and discuss it quickly!"

Kang Su frowned, but he didn't expect the Tang army to pursue the troops so quickly.

He glanced at the door and replied lightly: "I understand."

Kang Sumi's eyes turned back to Queen Xiao, and said with a serious expression: "Empress, I still need to consider what I mentioned just now. Now that the Tang army is at Jikou, I will deal with it first."

"Okay, the old woman takes her back first." Queen Xiao said, stood up and bowed to leave.

At this time, Jie Li Khan was discussing with Zhao Deyan, Asunasmo, Zhishili and others how to deal with the Tang army.

"Who is the Tang army general who was chasing us? Why did we lead me with only three hundred Tang soldiers so embarrassed?" Jie Li Khan said angrily, "At this point, no one figured out who the other general was, and what did the scouts do to eat!"

No one can give him an answer.

Jie Li Khan glanced at everyone, and saw that everyone didn't say anything, so he had to change the subject and cursed himself: "Where is Kang Sumi? The enemy has already reached the ridge of Jikou, why haven't anyone seen yet?"

"Kangsumi meets the Great Khan!"

At this moment, Kang Sumi strode in.

Jie Li Khan glanced at Kang Sumi and said in a deep voice: "Now the Tang army is at Jikou, what are the strategies to resist the enemy?"

"Khan, I suggest that General Kang Sumi leads the general of Jikou to wipe out the Tang army, so as to buy time for the Khan to return to Tieshan." Before Kang Sumi can respond, Zhao Deyan proposed first.

Jie Li Khan pondered: "This is the only way to do it at the moment."

He glanced at Kang Sumi again and said seriously: "Kang Sumi obeyed the order and led a thousand elite troops to wipe out the Tang army."

"As for your order!" Kang Sumi replied.

"Let's go!" Zhao Deyan interrupted, "Khan, there are only 300 Tang troops who are about to reach Jikou. General Kang Sumi does not need to lead a thousand elite soldiers. According to my opinion, 500 elite soldiers are enough. General Kang Sumi is extremely brave and familiar with Jikou, so he will definitely be able to wipe out the three hundred Tang troops. As for other soldiers, they need to stay to protect the Khan and prevent the Han people in Jikou from taking the opportunity to invade the upper and cause rebellion."

"The military advisor is right!" Jie Li Khan nodded and said, "The Han people in Jikou have to be careful not to take the opportunity to cause trouble."

Kang Sumi's face changed slightly, a hint of hatred flashed across her eyes, and she glanced at Zhao Deyan.

Humph! Zhao Deyan was so damn, and at this moment, he still wanted to use the Tang army to get rid of this general!

He asked this general to lead only 500 elite troops to fight against the 300 Tang army, which would be equivalent to letting this general die? The 300 Tang army outside the Jikou is definitely not easy to deal with, otherwise the Tianlang Guard who escorted the Khan would not have to accompany the Khan to run away!

Jie Li Khan actually followed the advice of Zhao Deyan, the villain. It seemed that Jie Li Khan had completely listened to Zhao Deyan's slander and wanted those who were loyal to him to die for him.

Forget it, forgot! Jie Li, Jie Li, you are not kind first, so don’t blame me for being unrighteous!

"Kang Sumi, according to the military advisor, you can bring five hundred elite troops to wipe out the Tang army without any mistakes!" Jie Li Khan ordered.

"Abide by the order!" Kang Sumi had no choice but to agree first.
