Chapter 1170 Disputes among the Tribe Leaders (Part )
Seeing the two men surrender, everyone acted like good brothers, stepped forward and put their arms around each other's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Chief Yelu, you are in the front, and most of us are behind. The Tang army has only 100,000 soldiers, and we have 130,000 soldiers. The advantage is on my side."

"That's right, brother Suhemutai. We still have Ande City, and General Ashina Moduo's 50,000 troops inside. When the time comes, the Tang army will be attacked from both sides, and the morale of the army will be in chaos, and it will be unable to stabilize the formation."

".With 180,000 troops against 100,000, two against one, our army will surely win!"

"How can it be 180,000? The warriors of the Khitan and Jurchen tribes are all wearing armor, which can double their combat power. So, it should be 230,000."

".Who says it's not true? 230,000 against 100,000, there's no chance of error."

"."

Everyone acted like they were one family, happily saying words of comfort, allowing the two people who had just been isolated to return to the warm embrace of the big family.

However, Yelushi and Suhemutai were extremely disappointed. It was all because Shiluodi had disguised himself so well. In the dozens of sieges before today, their losses were minimal, and they were even given more supplies.

I didn't know how to use the war to weaken them. I was glad, but I also underestimated them.
In his heart, he secretly despised Shi Luodie for being so stupid. Can hypocrisy be eaten? As long as the Turkic army lost more than half, it would not be able to suppress the two tribes. At that time, Shi Luodie would have to act according to their mood.

Who knew that Shiluodi was waiting for them here? More than half of them were killed or wounded in the first battle, becoming the worst-hit tribe since they moved south. Their cautious self-preservation in the past two months had also offended other tribes, and everyone was dissatisfied with him for not fighting but sharing the benefits.

Now, everyone is tacitly targeting each other, putting themselves in front of these tough battles.

The other party must have done it on purpose, allowing himself to retreat and ended up being forced into such a passive situation.

And just now he stopped everyone and gave them all the equipment. They were so naive that they thought that Shi Luodie gave them more compensation because they suffered heavy losses. Now it seems that he really has evil intentions!
The two men felt extremely regretful. If they had not collected the cavalry equipment before, they would not be able to let their tribe serve as the vanguard now because they were afraid of the enemy. Who knows how much they would lose in this battle?
On the surface, the two of them smiled along with everyone else, but their smiles were extremely ugly.

"Okay, don't say any more."

Shi Luodie said with a serious face: "This Khan let the Khitan and Jurchen warriors lead the charge purely because the two warriors are fully equipped with armor and have the strongest combat power. If the two great leaders Yelu Shi and Suhemutai are unwilling, it doesn't matter."

"Just ask you two to lend the armor to other tribes for use, and return it to you after the battle?"

"Uh"

The two were tempted, but seeing Shi Luodie's gloomy face, they quickly waved their hands and said, "No, the Khan has misunderstood. We are willing to be loyal to the Khan, and there is absolutely no reluctance. The Khan really misunderstood us by saying this!"

joke?

At this moment, everyone was watching with eager eyes. The arrow was on the string and had to be shot.

If he really dared to refuse, Shi Luodie would probably turn ruthless as soon as he got the armor and eliminate the "rebels" who disobeyed orders in front of the battle. By then, no one would speak for him.

Seeing the two men surrender, Shi Luodie hurriedly comforted them: "This Khan also knows that the warriors of the two tribes have worked hard, but the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty sent 200,000 cavalry, which is a great threat to our army. If we don't take this opportunity to annihilate them, they will cooperate with the infantry in the future and we will have no chance of winning."

"We are tired, but the Tang army attacked us by surprise, so they must have been marching quickly last night. They have been fighting since noon, so it's not easy for them either."

"Everyone is tired, the competition is about who can persevere longer."

"The north is bitterly cold. How can the Tang army compare to us in terms of endurance? As long as we annihilate this group of Tang troops, there will be no rivals in Hebei, and we can plunder without restraint."

Seeing that the two men's faces had eased a little, Shi Luodie encouraged them again: "Well, in Ande City, there are countless gold and silver treasures that our army has accumulated during this period of time. After this battle, the two great leaders can choose any one they want, and this Khan will agree. How do you think?"

"Thank you Khan."

The two men felt a little comforted, and thought that the 50,000 tribes equipped with armor had more than doubled their combat power, and they would not be at a disadvantage against the Tang army. With the 130,000 other Turkic tribes, it was expected that Shiluodi would not be too ugly.

If he sits and watches his two tribes being destroyed, the other tribes will suffer and will probably turn against him.

After figuring this out, the two men patted their chests and said passionately, "Don't worry, Great Khan. Our two tribes will not let you down. This battle depends on us."

"Ok?"

Shi Luodie thought about it again, his eyes flashed, and he showed a weird smile, and asked someone beside him: "Zhuolibuhua, are those Tang army standard flags, drums, flags, generals' flags, etc. that we seized before still there?"

"Yes, there are dozens of large trucks full of them, following behind us!"

"Okay, in that case, Yelushi, Suhemutai?"

The two men quickly responded, "We are here, what else do you want from the Khan?"

"This Khan orders you two to raise the Tang Dynasty flags, pretend to be Tang troops, and attack Cheng Yao's army as the vanguard. Disrupt their formation and open up the situation for our army's subsequent encirclement and suppression. Do you understand?" "Khan, what do you mean?"

The two men's eyes lit up, and they understood what Shi Luodie meant. They clasped their fists excitedly and said, "Great Khan is wise. We understand."

Some leaders also suddenly realized it. Zhuolibuhua gave a thumbs up and flattered: "The Khan's wisdom is indeed beyond our imagination. I think Cheng Yaojin would never have dreamed that we could defeat Li Ji's army so quickly."

"When they are attacking the city, suddenly 50,000 soldiers wearing Tang army armor and carrying Tang banners appear. They will definitely let down their guard subconsciously."

"At this time, we will not stop and attack suddenly in battle formation, which will definitely catch the Tang army off guard. As long as they fall into chaos, our main force will follow and outflanke them, and the Tang army will undoubtedly be defeated!"

"Haha, the Khan is wise, and we admire him very much." After Zhuolibuhua's explanation, everyone understood the key. All the leaders showed admiring eyes and were more convinced of the Khan Shiluodie.

Yelu Shi and Suhemutai also breathed a sigh of relief. This gave them an extra three points chance of winning. They thought that the loss would not be too great this time!

After agreeing on the next strategy, the leaders of each tribe rode their horses back to their own tribes to lead their troops.

After leaving the crowd, the two of them gathered together. Suhemutai's face changed and he said bitterly: "Brother Yelu, Shiluodi is obviously jealous of our strong forces and wants to weaken us through war. This is no different from the previous Khan Jie Li. Are they, the Turks, still on guard against us?"

"shush"

Yelushi looked around carefully, then gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, we were all paralyzed by him before. Although Shiluodie is not as domineering as Jie Li, he is a man with a mind more poisonous than snakes and scorpions."

"His cruelty is even greater than Jie Li's, but he disguises himself well on the surface."

"People like this are more difficult to deal with. In the past, Jie Li had been unable to conquer the Tang Dynasty for decades. But Shi Luodie used a little trick to break the fighting spirit of the Central Plains people. We must stay away from people like this."

Su Hemutai suddenly said, "Brother Yelu, why don't we leave them? Isn't it just about dividing the land? We have learned this trick too. We can still do it without them."

"Oh, I'm so scared that I can't leave now even if I want to."

Yelu Shi sighed, "We are entangled with the Turks. If there is any unusual movement now, the army will immediately turn around and deal with us. If we were in the grassland, we could just leave, but now we are in Hebei Province of the Tang Dynasty, surrounded by Tang troops."

"During this period, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has dispatched troops and has surrounded us."

"Even if we work together, we still can't guarantee a safe escape, not to mention the internal strife at this time. After a war, we will both suffer losses and will inevitably lose the opportunity to deal with the Tang Dynasty. Everyone will die without a burial place."

Suhemutai said angrily: "Then what do you say we should do? We regret coveting these armors and letting them unite against us."

"Forget it, let's just fight the battle properly, right?"

Yelu Shi said grimly: "No matter how he treats us now, we have to endure it. The Han people have a saying that there is a long way to go. As long as we get through this hardship and return to the grasslands, we can slowly find opportunities to retaliate."

"He can sit on the throne of the Great Khan, so why can't we do the same?"

Suhemutai nodded slowly after hearing this: "Yes, with the treasures and cavalry equipment we robbed this time, it will only take 10 to 20 years for our two tribes to become stronger. We can sit back and watch the Tang Dynasty and the Turks fight to the point of mutual destruction, and then we can take advantage of the situation and rise up. By then..."

'Well'

At this point, the two of them looked at each other with embarrassed expressions.

Then they turned around in tacit understanding. There was only one position of Khan, which meant that there was a competition between the two of them.

The two major tribes used to be the two major tribes in the northeast of Liaodong. They were usually at loggerheads. It was only after they came to the Central Plains, under the oppression of the Tang Dynasty and Shiluodie, that the two tribes became closer as "close neighbors are worse than distant relatives".

Both of them knew that as long as they returned to Liaodong, there would be no room for two tigers in one mountain. If they wanted to challenge Shi Luodie, they had to eat the other one first.

Since they were going to be enemies sooner or later, they shouldn't reveal too much now. In this way, with their calculations in mind, the two missed their last chance to escape alive.

They didn't know that Shi Luodie had forced them into the Central Plains in order to weaken them, and none of them intended to let them go back alive.

How could they, a small force, sit on the sidelines and reap the benefits of the fight between the two great powers of Turkic and Tang? Even if the two countries really fought, they would swallow up the small countries around them in advance to clear the field.

Then we can fight each other without any worries and will not let you small fry get the advantage.
