Towards north of Langshan, there is a vast grassland that stretches for thousands of miles, and this grassland is the territory of the Western Turks!

The ambition of Yugushi tried hard to win over the army of 200,000. He thought that with this strength and the top secret information he obtained, he could not only defeat the Tang army, but also gain a lot of benefits, thereby stabilizing his prestige among the Turks and paving the way for his future as Khan!

However, the facts made Yugushi seriously doubt his own people...

In just one day... to be precise, in just a few hours, the 150,000 army, which was not inferior to the Tang army, collapsed! What made him even more angry was that after the 150,000 army was defeated by the Tang army and fled north, there were only less than 10,000 people following him!

He has always felt good about himself and believed that the army was united with his efforts, and everyone recognized him as the commander of the army. So it was natural that the army should still surround him after the army was defeated, saying it was good to protect him!

However, the result was very bad. Except for the more than 10,000 troops of his own tribe, the others fled in scattered with the leaders of their respective tribes. No one cared about him, the commander of the army... The Tang army, who was also in trouble, did not pursue him, otherwise, his more than 10,000 troops would definitely be on the Tang army's credit card!

"Khan, what should we do next? Should we convene the fleeing army?"

When his subordinate asked, Yu Gushe did not answer the first time, but just looked up at the blue sky, staring at the white clouds floating in the sky... He wanted to think carefully about his life!

Today the sky is beautiful, and under the clear sky, white clouds are dotted with white clouds, blocking the scorching sun above people in the sun... However, Yugushe did not care about the beautiful scenery. The only thought in his heart at this time was that compared with the entire sky, the clouds that could cover the sun were so small. Perhaps a gust of wind would blow, these clouds would dissipate without any resistance...

Although the number of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses sounded quite large, compared with the vast grassland under my feet, it was like white clouds floating in the sky, so small, so vulnerable!

After a long time, Yugushe chuckled with a self-deprecating voice: "Call the army? Will they... still listen to my military orders?"

"You are the commander of the army. Who dares not obey the military order? Disobey the military order... aren't they afraid of death?" The subordinates did not understand what Yu Gushi meant, thinking that the military order could restrain the army that had no idea where they had fled...

Yugushi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's not that they are not afraid of death, but... they know that no one has the strength to kill them, just like Nishu. Although everyone admits that he is Khan, no one will obey his orders. If he has enough strength in his hands to kill anyone who goes against his will, who dares not to obey his orders?"

"How could that cowardly old man Nishu compare with you, Khan? He is just a nominal Khan, and no one will obey his orders from beginning to end. But you are different. You are the commander of the army, and haven't they obey your military orders all the time?"

"Yes, Nishu is just a nominal Khan of the Turks. He has no strength and no ability to take on the name of the Turks...." At this point, Yugushu was suddenly stunned. He was originally going to belittle the Khan of Dulu by his subordinates' words, but he suddenly realized what is the difference between him and Nishu? He is also just a nominal commander of the army, who would really obey his orders?

Yu Gushe instantly lost the intention to continue explaining to his subordinates. He waved the whip and ran forward!

Several subordinates stared at the back of their Khan blankly and looked at each other. They didn't know why Khan stopped halfway through his words. They were still waiting for Khan to give the next order.

"Khan, you haven't said what to do next?"

Everyone hurriedly waved their horse whip and chased after Yu Gushe. Seeing that their Khan had no intention of stopping, they could only shout.

But Yugushua still did not stop, and even his speed did not decrease at all. He shouted a word without looking back - "Wait!"

"Wait?" Everyone looked confused. I wonder what the word "wait" means, whether to wait for the army to gather again, or waiting for something?

Suddenly someone shouted, "I understand!"

"What do you know?"

"I know what Khan said about waiting means!"

"Tell me quickly, what does it mean?"

"When we sent troops, didn't Khan send all the remaining 50,000 troops of our tribe to carry out secret missions? Khan must mean that we must wait for the 50,000 troops to come and join us!"

Everyone suddenly realized that after this person reminded them, they also remembered that their 50,000 troops were sent to carry out secret missions... In order to keep it secret, Yu Gushe did not tell these people where the 50,000 troops were going. When they confronted the Tang army, they were ready to tell their subordinates the news. Unfortunately, the 150,000 troops were defeated by the Tang army in an instant, and they had no time to tell them at all!

...

On the other hand, with Li Jing's general order issued, tens of thousands of Tang troops, led by their generals, advanced to the western Turkic hinterland in different directions.

The army that has been smooth sailing since the Western Expedition encountered a real test at this time!

No one had ever thought that the 150,000 Turkic army gathered together only brought less than 30,000 casualties to the Tang army. However, when the 150,000 army was defeated and fled back to the Turks, facing the pursuit of the Tang army, it burst out with unprecedented combat power. In just two days, the number of casualties reported by each unit to Li Jing had exceeded 20,000!

Of course, the losses were quite large and the harvest was also good. Within two days, the total number of Turkic soldiers was killed, and the number of Turkic soldiers was subdued exceeded 50,000, and the number of Turkic tribes was conquered was no less than 30,000, and the number of Turkic people exceeded 80,000!

In addition to the population, more than 300,000 livestock such as cattle, sheep, horses were seized, of which more than 50,000 horses were seized!

It has to be said that although the Western Turks have long been weak, their foundation is still very strong. After all, the grasslands they occupy are not much less barren than those in the Eastern Turks. On the contrary, because of their vast territory and sparse population, the resources they can accumulate are even more than those in the Eastern Turks!

However, when Li Jing saw the reports from various departments, he not only did not be happy because of the huge gains, but instead patted his head with annoyance and said, "Oh, it's a mistake, a mistake!"

Then he ordered without hesitation: "Let each tribe postpone the clearance operation. If a new Turkic tribe is discovered, do not attack easily!"

After the military order was issued, Li Jing hid on the desk and began to write a letter to Shi Wannian in Yancheng. He finished it in a short while and directly asked someone to send it out!
