Chapter 229: The soldiers are facing the Turkic fourth

Originally, everyone was still worried that the person coming would not tell them why there was no one here, but when the old herder came in, everyone's concern was dispelled, because after the old herder came in, they saw the people full of tents at that time, but they were just nervous and worried. Of course, this was absolutely normal. But when he saw Liu Shan, he quickly knelt in front of Liu Shan and he knelt respectfully without any hesitation, which puzzled everyone.

At the beginning, everyone wondered why the old herdsman immediately recognized the real leader here as soon as he came in, but when the old herdsman looked at the sword on Liu Shan's waist, several people who knew the situation knew it. The reason why the old herdsman knelt down when he saw Liu Shan was definitely not that the old herdsman had a superb eye and knew that Liu Shan was the leader here, but that he saw Liu Shan's sword. Since entering the grassland, Liu Shan had already replaced the weapon on his waist with the Turkic golden sword. The reason for it was that Liu Shan was considering that he might be useful after entering the grassland. Liu Shan did not expect that he would use this golden sword on the first day he wore this golden sword.

Without letting the old herdsman get up, Liu Shan walked out of the crowd and came to the front of the old herdsman. Liu Shan understood that there was no need to be polite to the old herdsman. This was not that Liu Shan disrespected the elderly, but that Liu Shan knew his identity at this time, and wanted to use his majesty to suppress the herdsman, rather than relying on being kind and kind to win the heart of the herdsman. In other words, Liu Shan used majesty to get what he wanted to know faster than using kindness.

"Where have the people here gone?" Liu Shan asked bluntly to the old herder. Of course, Liu Shan spoke Chinese, and he didn't know Turkic. He originally thought that soldiers who were proficient in Turkic were translated to the old herders, but the soldiers on the side had not yet translated, and the old herders there had already spoken first.

Liu Shan and everyone were secretly surprised. Although the Turks had a strong atmosphere of learning Chinese, the Chinese in the early Tang Dynasty was just like the English in the era where Liu Shan lived, Liu Shan also knew that learning foreign languages ​​in this era required status or economic conditions. He did not expect that a herdsman on the grassland near the border would also speak Chinese, but the fact is that this old herdsman did, and he also had some Hebei accents, and he also learned it very authentically.

This is naturally not the time to investigate why the old herdsmen speak Chinese. Liu Shan and the people around him have already heard something from the old herdsmen's words.

Since the Western Turkic army attacked the Eastern Turkic army, facing the Eastern Turkic army that had just suffered heavy damage in Liangzhou and had not yet recovered, the Western Turkic army could be said to be very fast at the beginning. In the initial attack, even the Western Turkic cavalry ran happily. Sometimes, no army could stop them for hundreds of miles or hundreds of miles, and more often, the obstacles they encountered were very large. After a few scimitars, the blocking force was cut into pieces.

It can be said that the Western Turks started their attack smoothly, but this situation did not last long. After slaughtering several Eastern Turkic tribes in succession, facing the bloody invaders, the nobles of the Eastern Turkic took action one after another. At this time, Princess Yicheng also called on the Turkic tribes to resist the Western Turkic army with hatred for the invaders.

Of course, anyone with a discerning eye can see that many of the nobles of the Eastern Turks were at first waiting and watching, and some of them were even ready to fight for the Western Turks army, so they defected to the Western Turks. However, the butcher knife of the Western Turks blocked the way they wanted to seek. Faced with the situation where there was no way to seek, the nobles of the Eastern Turks had to take up weapons, defend their homes one by one, and hide behind the team one by one, resisting the invasion one by one, shouting hard.

The Western Turkic army that Princess Yicheng called on everyone to resist the invasion was naturally a manifestation of defending the country in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of a few people, this is not the case. If Princess Yicheng really cared about the people of the Eastern Turkic people and really wanted to resist the Western Turkic army, she would not have sent 100,000 elite grassland soldiers to Hebei before.

Hearing the old herders say that Princess Yicheng calls on everyone to resist the invasion, Liu Shan and Princess Sinan know that it is Princess Yicheng expanding the bloodshed of the two Turks and causing the two grassland wolves to fight hard. Only the more fierce they kill, the more resistance Liu Shan suffered when he comes to the grassland.

But except for Liu Shan and Si Nan who know the inside story, who would have thought of this? Most people would only see Princess Yicheng's efforts to resist the invasion of the Western Turks, but they would not think that Princess Yicheng would have ill-intentioned. In the face of disaster, a person who stands in front of everyone to resist the disaster will be strongly supported and loved by everyone. It can be said that Princess Yicheng's actions not only won the support of the herdsmen, the support of the nobles, and the support of the army, but also carried out his own plan with no luck. She was scheming and scheming, which seemed ordinary, but it was really terrible. She did not offend someone, but did something to destroy her family and destroy her clan. If this were in the Liushan era, there was a saying that could describe what happened in the Turks at this time. That was that others sold you and you would count the money to others.

From the old herdsmen, although Princess Yicheng and the Eastern Turkic nobles began to join forces to fight against the Western Turkic army, the losses of the Eastern Turkic during the battle in Liangzhou were really too great. Although they tried their best to resist, the Western Turkic still penetrated deeply into the Eastern Turkic grassland like a sharp blade. The only difference is that the Western Turkic march slowed down at this time.

Seeing that he could not resist the attack of the Western Turks, Princess Yicheng proposed to allocate the forces in the eastern grassland at a gathering of nobles on the grassland. It was originally very difficult to pass this proposal, because at this time the eastern grassland was a good season for feeding livestock. Generally, herders live with water and grass, so how could they easily leave the place with abundant water and grass? Moreover, in the hearts of ordinary herders, the Western Turks are actually Turks, and they do not have much idea of ​​separation of Turks. Even after the two Turks separated, the herders on the border often rushed into each other's grassland to grazed, and there was no big deal.

But the situation at this time was not the usual situation. In the face of the threat of the Western Turkic iron hooves and butcher knife, Princess Yicheng's proposal was quickly passed among the Turkic nobles. In the face of danger, these nobles were very active. This was like the United States in the 20th century. At the beginning, it was not involved in the war, so it always sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, and then sold arms to make money and made a fortune in the war. Once someone suggested that he enter the war and become a side of the war, everyone was unwilling to do so, but once his interests were threatened, hundreds of members of the House of Commons immediately demanded the war in one voice.

This is how it is. The lives of these Turkic nobles were threatened, so they naturally roared hard, allowing others to rush forward to get the butcher knife from the Western Turks.

Next, with the aristocrats spared no effort, the tribes of the eastern grassland quickly moved to the western theater. Groups of cattle, sheep, horses and herdsmen of the entire tribe gave up their homes. Naturally, they rarely had the concept of homes, and what they gave up was the place where livestock eat grass. They rushed to the war zone and arrived at the area where the Eastern Turks leaped. This is why there were few herdsmen in the eastern grassland at this time, and it is also the reason why Liushan's army did not see the grassland herdsmen in one day of marching.
