Chapter 758 Why
Qilao Battelle thought for a while, and said with some hesitation: "Since Xue Yantuo has dispatched troops, it is impossible to retreat so quickly, unless..."
"Unless what?" Yuan Qi asked.
"Unless something happened to Xue Yantuo, or Tong'e made a promise that Xue Yantuo could not refuse."
Compared with the former, Qilaubatel believes that the latter is more likely.
Now that there is civil strife in Western Turks, only Datang is a threat to Xue Yantuo.
Qi Lao Battelle felt that the chances of Datang sending troops were not high. In this case, it was likely that Tong'e had agreed to something that Xue Yantuo could not refuse, so that Xue Yantuo would withdraw his troops.
"Khan, since that's the case, we might as well destroy Batu now and recruit Xue Yantuo's troops. We can definitely fight Tong'e." A tribal leader suggested.
"That's right, if the 5 people in Batu are annexed, why should we be afraid to set up the same place?"
The rest of the tribal leaders quickly echoed.
To annex Batu's 5 people, Yuan Qi's strength alone is not enough, so naturally they still have to rely on them.
At that time, they will naturally share part of the benefits and strengthen their own strength.
Yuan Qi was a little moved. He had long held a grudge against Batu for not taking him seriously.
If he can annex Batu, not only will he be able to dispel his hatred, but with those 5 people, he will still have a chance to defeat Tong E and set up the Western Turks.
However, Xue Yantuo had lost a lot of strength before, and if he lost another 5 people, it would definitely hurt his muscles and bones.
When he destroys Tong'e She, he may even have a chance to destroy Xue Yantuo, and finish what his father hadn't done.
Thinking of this, Yuan Qi's eyes became hot.
"Don't sweat it!" Seeing Yuan Qi's expression, Qilaobatar knew that Yuan Qi's heart was moved, and he said loudly: "Did Khan ever think that if we attack Batu at this time, we may face the situation that Tong'e set up?" A joint attack with Xue Yantuo?"
"Even if we don't do anything, when Batu retreats, what are we going to do against Tong'eshe?"
"That's right, Da Khan, there is a saying in the Tang Dynasty that is good, the first is to control others, and the second is to be controlled by others. Please Da Khan make a decision early."
The rest of the tribal leaders disagreed with Qilaobatar's words, and they spoke out one after another, asking Yuan Qi to order to attack Batu.
"You..." Qilaobateer pointed at the tribal leaders angrily and said: "It is not sure whether Batu is going to retreat. If we guess wrong, we will only offend Xue Yantuo. Isn't this suicidal?"
Ashinasheer was sitting in the corner, watching the crowd quarreling while drinking, as if he was an outsider.
Back then, he followed Lin Xuan's words and brought troops to join Yuan Qi, so he didn't need to work so hard.
Originally, Lin Xuan only asked him to help Yuan Qi, not to allow Tong E to unify the Western Turks, and at the same time achieve the purpose of consuming the strength of the Western Turks.
However, his subordinates suggested to him to help Yuan Qi unify the Western Turks first, take the opportunity to strengthen his strength, and finally annex the Western Turks and rebuild the Eastern Turks.
The phrase rebuilding the East Turkistan completely moved Ashinasheer.
He has deep feelings for the Eastern Turks, otherwise he would not have chosen to attack Xue Yantuo when he had the opportunity to destroy the Western Turks.
Given the opportunity to rebuild Western Turks, Ashinasheer would naturally not give up.
So he devoted himself to planning for Yuan Qi, and even led his own troops as bait.
However, in the end, it suffered heavy losses. This failure also made Ashinasheer completely lose hope of rebuilding the Eastern Turks.
Yuan Qi was a little hesitant, although he wanted to annex Xue Yantuo's 5 people, but what Qilaobateer said was also reasonable, which made him at a loss as to how to make a choice.
Just when Yuan Qi was in a dilemma, a soldier came in with a man in Hanfu.
"Report to the Great Khan, this person claims to be our Western Turkic spy in the Tang Dynasty, and asks to see the Great Khan." The soldier said.
Yuan Qi asked and looked at Qi Laobaater, who was the person in charge of Western Turkic spies in Chang'an before, and he was also responsible for the placement of Western Turkic spies in Datang later.
Qilaobatel looked at the man in Hanfu and found that he didn't recognize him, but he was not surprised.
Since he was in charge of placing spies in Datang, he has increased the number of spies in Datang. It is impossible for him to meet all of these people.
Qilaobatar said the code in Turkic, and the man in Hanfu quickly replied.
After confirming that it was correct, Qilaobatar frowned slightly and said, "What's the matter, so urgent?"
The spy has his own way of delivering information. After passing it layer by layer, it will eventually reach him. This is the first time that he came directly to him like this.
"My lord, the Tang Dynasty sent hundreds of thousands of troops to the north, and the leader asked me to come back and report to my lord."
After hearing the news, Qilaobatar was shocked, but said with some doubts: "Then why not pass it on through the original channel?"
"My lord, Datang's Baiqi is too powerful. Our contact point was discovered. In order to get the news back, the leader arranged for dozens of people to disperse."
Li Shimin knew long ago that Chang'an must have hidden a large number of foreign spies. Knowing such a big movement, those spies must pass the news back, and ordered Baiqi to pull out those spies as much as possible.
Li Shimin knew that it was impossible to eliminate all the spies, so he wanted to delay the time for them to get the news as much as possible.
After hearing this, Qilao Battelle thought of Xue Yantuo's sudden sending of people to Batu, his face changed, and he said solemnly: "Khan, Yi Nan suddenly sent people to Batu, probably because This news."
"Why did Tang suddenly use troops against Xue Yantuo?" Yuan Qi asked strangely.
Qilaobateer thought for a while, and said, "Khan, the purpose of Datang is not necessarily Xue Yantuo."
"Haha" A tribal leader seemed to hear something funny, and said with a smile: "It's not Xue Yantuo, could it be us?"
"Haha, maybe it's really possible." The other tribal leaders laughed too.
The Western Turks did not border the Tang Dynasty, and there was a large grassland in between. If the Tang Dynasty used troops against the Western Turks, it would need to go deep into the grassland. Once it went deep into the grassland, the main force of the battle would be the cavalry.
And there are not many cavalry in Datang, so they don't think that Datang's target will be them.
Even Yuan Qi thought so, and his expression was very relaxed.
Qilaobateer said very solemnly: "Did you forget that Datang traded 10,000+ war horses from Western Turks and Xue Yantuo before? In addition to the fact that Datang originally had, Datang has at least [-] cavalry at this time. above."
Everyone was somewhat disapproving. Although the Western Turks were now split, they alone currently had 20 cavalry. If they continued to recruit, it would not be difficult to organize [-] cavalry.
Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Qilaobateer sighed inwardly and said, "If Datang's target is Xue Yantuo, why didn't he attack Xue Yantuo when the Western Turks attacked Xue Yantuo? There is no resistance at all. Although Xue Yantuo has lost part of his strength now, if Datang wants to destroy Xue Yantuo, he will also suffer heavy losses. Why did Datang take action at this time?"
