Chapter fifty-seven grassland civil strife
The heavy snow on the grassland has been going on for days. Although it is not as heavy or as anxious as it was at the beginning, it is still as thick as the legs and knees. It is very inconvenient to travel regardless of people or horses.
However, Jie Li's heart is much more peaceful now than before, because the news that Ashinasmo borrowed food and grass from the Tang Dynasty three days ago had already ordered people to send it back.
Although 20,000 stones of food and grass are not too much, if you are tight, it would be no problem to help the Khanate survive for most of the winter. In order to calm the people's hearts, Jie Li even ordered the news to take a walk out when he received the news, which also played a role in calming the people's hearts.
But what Jie Li never expected was that just when the news of borrowing food and grass was sent to the Khan Court, the soldiers who escorted the food and grass were ambushed by Xueyantuo's tribe in Yinshan, and almost wiped out the entire army. Only Ashinasmo, Bayeli and others escaped.
As for the 20,000 stones of food and supplies that carried the hope of the Khan people, it became the spoils of the barbarians.
"Khan, Asunasmo and Bayeli are back." On this day, Jie Li was burning fire in the big tent, and a departed guard outside the tent suddenly entered the tent.
Jie Li didn't know the news of the loss of food and grass at this time, but he thought that Asunasmo and Bayeli had returned with food and grass, so he smiled and said, "Where are they? Let's tell them to get in!"
The guards left their relatives looked bitter and said to Jie Li, "They are kneeling outside the tent and apologizing and dare not enter the tent."
Apologize for guilt?
It was the time when it was cold outside. Who would kneel outside and apologize? What's more, borrowing food and grass from the Tang Dynasty was a great achievement and should have been rewarded.
Jie Li's heart suddenly felt a sudden "knock" when he heard the words of the guards of Li.
"But what's wrong with the food and grass?" Jie Li asked as if he was hung with a heart.
The departed guard replied, "The food and grass are lost."
"boom!"
Jie Li knew very well what these foods mean. When Jie Li heard the news that the foods were lost, he felt a thunderous sound in his head and almost fainted.
Jie Li calmed down, stood up slowly, and walked out of the tent.
Jie Li opened the tent door. Sure enough, outside the tent of the sweat, Asunasmo and Bayeli were kneeling in front of the tent of the sweat, and their bodies were still bandaged with wounds.
But when Jie Li looked at Ashinasmo and Bayeli's embarrassed appearance, Jie Li was even more angry and even wanted to kill them on the spot.
"Food, why are food and grass lost?" Jie Li asked as he looked at the two of them.
Asunasmo lowered his head and said to Jie Li, "We encountered an ambush from Xue Yantuo on the way back, and the food and grass were lost."
Xue Yantuo!
Jie Li was stunned after hearing Ashinasmo's words. Does Xue Yantuo have such courage? How dare he rob Jie Li's food and grass.
Jie Li asked, "Are you sure it's Xue Yantuo's person?"
Bayeli said angrily, "It must be Xue Yantuo. Mo Jiang saw Yi Nan with his own eyes, and he shot the arrow wound on Mo Jiang's body."
In Jie Li's impression, Yi Nan always looked cautious and cautious, and did not have the appearance of a hero. How dare such a person rob his food?
"Bang!"
Jie Li looked at Bayeli's appearance and remembered the face of Yi Nan in his mind. He suddenly became angry and kicked Bayeli's heart. Bayeli almost fainted in pain.
"Baoshi, Yi Nan deserves to die, you deserve to die too!" Jie Li pointed at Bayeli, who was lying on the ground in pain and gasping for breath, and said angrily.
These foods and grasses are of great significance. In Jie Li's eyes, these foods and grasses are far more important than those of Asunasmo and Bayeli.
Jie Li's kick caused Bayeli's wound to crack, and Bayeli almost passed out of breath because of the pain of this kick.
However, Bayeli was also a man. Faced with the piercing pain, he actually didn't hum, got up, and continued to kneel in front of Jie Li.
Bayeli said: "Please give me an elite soldier. I will lead the troops to wipe out the Yi Nan and bring the food and grass back."
Bayeli was loyal to Jie Li. After this kick, Bayeli had no resentment towards Jie Li, but only blamed himself. For the selves, Bayeli wanted to eat his flesh and bones!
His only idea now is to lead troops to kill Yu Dujun Mountain, take Yi Nan's life, and slaughter the entire Xueyantuo tribe to vent his anger.
"Kill Yi Nan? Is it your current appearance? Is it a match for Yi Nan?" Jie Li asked, looking at Bayeli, who was kneeling in front of him.
Bayeli immediately replied: "As long as Khan can lend me 30,000 elite soldiers, I will definitely take the Yi Nan's head and offer it to Khan with the food and grass."
Although Jie Li was tyrannical and warlike, he was not a fool. The current situation of the Turks was definitely not the time to start a war.
The Khan Court is still hundreds of miles away from Yu Dujun Mountain. At present, the Turks are short of food and the road is blocked with heavy snow. If they go on a rash battle, they may be able to survive to Yu Dujun Mountain.
Jie Li said: "It is not the time yet. Let your heads be sent to your head first, and bring them to the beginning of spring next year and the ice and snow melt. I will personally go north to the north. Then it will be the time for you to work hard."
------------
"Your Highness, Jie Li's food and grass are lost." Not long after Ashinasmo and Bayeli returned, Wang Xuance had already received the news and told Li Ke.
When Li Ke heard this, his face was full of fun and asked, "Oh? Who is so brave that he dares to rob Jie Li of the food and grass that saved his life?"
Wang Xuance said: "Your Highness might as well guess."
Li Ke thought for a while, blurted out a name and said, "Yi Nan."
Wang Xuance nodded and said, "No, it's Xue Yantuo Yinan."
Li Ke smiled and said, "First borrow food and grass from the Turks, then deliberately informed Yi Nan of the news and arranged for Yi Nan to rob the grain. I don't know which one of the court did this."
Wang Xuance said: "Whose work is no longer important. What is important is that Jie Li had already released the news of food and grass in order to calm people's hearts. This time, the food and grass were robbed, which was a huge blow to Jie Li's prestige, and Jie Li was even more difficult this winter."
Li Ke nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, this matter has a huge blow to Jie Li's prestige. It's just a pity that the 20,000 stones of grain from my Tang Dynasty made the Yi Nan cheaper."
Although the 20,000 stones of food and grass did not fall into the hands of the enemy Turks, the Tang Dynasty still lost 20,000 stones of food and grass and fell into the hands of Yi Nan.
However, Wang Xuance smiled, but said to Li Ke: "Your Highness is too worried. How easy is the food and grass of my Tang Dynasty? Yi Nan took the food and grass of my Tang Dynasty, which aroused Jie Li's anger and shared the pressure on the northern line for my Tang Dynasty. In the future, these food and grass will be filled with the lives of the tribe on the battlefield."
Yi Nan robbed the grain and slapped Jie Li in the face. Although Jie Li had no choice but to deal with Yi Nan due to the harsh climate, he would have no choice but to settle down by the beginning of the spring of the next year. No matter how successful or defeated the Yi Nan was, he would not have a good time.
