The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 1180 Stabilizing People’s Heart
Zhuolibuhua spoke first, "Great Khan, after two great battles at Gonggao and Ande City, we wiped out 200,000 Tang cavalrymen, but our losses were also extremely heavy. Gonggao lost 70,000, and Ande lost another 80,000."

"Among them, 100,000 people from the Khitan and Jurchen tribes were killed in the battle. Other tribes also suffered losses, ranging from hundreds to thousands."

"Fifteen grassland warriors have returned to the Eternal Heaven. Of the three hundred thousand people who went south, only a little over thirty percent remain."

As soon as the voice fell, many leaders' faces turned gloomy. The Jurchens and Khitans were originally wandering on the edge of the grassland. These people grew up in a difficult environment. Each of them was very strong in combat. They were brave and courageous when fighting.

The Tiele tribe from the vicinity of the Khan's court was already very fearful. In the final siege, everyone consciously slowed down the speed of attack, and with the help of the Tang army, they were destroyed on the battlefield. This was not something that the Khan Shiluodie was aware of.

The rest of the tribes under his command all had a tacit understanding. Without anyone giving any orders, they all made the same choice.

In the end, the 50,000 brave soldiers of the two groups were completely annihilated by the bloodthirsty Longxi cavalry.

However, their sacrifice was meaningful. They greatly weakened the morale of the Longxi Flying Cavalry, and finally the rest of the people were able to capture them all. Although they also lost 30,000 people, it was bearable when distributed among the various units.

"Okay, Ben Khan knows."

Shi Luodie waved his hand and said calmly: "Although we suffered a lot of losses, the Tang army suffered even greater losses, especially the 200,000 elite cavalry. I dare say that is the most powerful force of the Tang Dynasty. If they are destroyed in Hebei, the Tang Dynasty will also be seriously injured."

"Through these two battles, we have completely wiped out the cavalry in Hebei. The remaining infantry can no longer stop us. From now on, we can go wherever we want, and no one can stop us."

"We won both battles. Don't make it sound like we lost."

Zhuoli Buhua was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Khan, aren't we going back?"

Everyone looked at Shi Luodie, who was in the lead, with puzzlement. The battle had come to this point, and even if they won, it would be a pyrrhic victory. Logically, they should stop while they were ahead, break out, and return to the grassland to be safe.

"Not for now."

Before anyone could ask, Shi Luodie explained, "To be honest, this Tang army was not transferred from the northern Yanshan and Liaozhou defense lines, but from the Longxi land. On our way back to the grassland, we are still heavily defended."

"Ah, what should I do then?"

Everyone was immediately disappointed. They had thought that the enemy was so powerful that they must be cavalrymen from the northern border town. If they were transferred to Hebei and eliminated, the return journey would be smooth. But it turned out not to be the case.

So everyone started to complain: "We only have 100,000 people left. If we fight back like this, I'm afraid only one in ten will make it back to the grassland alive."

".Now there are no Khitans and Jurchens to clear the way for us. The remaining ones are our most loyal brothers. If..."

"King Qi is such a bastard. He deceived us. If only we had known earlier."

"."

Everyone was immediately excited and started discussing the matter anxiously.

"Humph"

Shi Luodie snorted coldly, and the whole audience fell silent instantly, and everyone looked at him in awe.

From this point of view, the team after the cleansing is indeed easier to lead. It is obvious that Shi Luodie's prestige has not decreased but increased, and he is more intimidating to the beasts than before.

So many people died in these battles, and everyone saw Shiluodi's performance. The two most tragic battles were inevitable. They were all hard bones. If the cavalry was not gnawed down, they would be like maggots attached to the bones, and the Turks would never be able to live in peace.

Moreover, it is true that the enemy suffered greater losses than ours. They made a profit by exchanging 150,000 men for 200,000 Tang troops.

And the final arrangement of "genocide" of the Khitan and Jurchen tribes shocked everyone.

If you dare not obey, you will be killed without a burial place.

The totem of the grassland people is the wolf. Shi Luodie is fierce, cunning, and vicious. He is the most ferocious wolf.

Be cruel to your enemies and even crueler to your own people.

This completely convinced everyone. Instead of rebelling, they admired and believed in him even more.

"The hard, difficult, tough and tough battles were all fought in the past few days."

Shi Luodie glanced at everyone majestically and said slowly: "The current Tang Dynasty poses no threat to us."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, Ashina Moduo asked, "Great Khan, the Tang army is strong. Won't they mobilize cavalry from other places? If there is another 100,000 cavalry like the Longxi Flying Cavalry, we will all be defeated here?" Shi Luodie said indifferently, "The Tang army has a total of 300,000 cavalry, scattered along the long border in the north. They can't be withdrawn at all. Don't forget that there is a covetous Right Wise King in Mobei. Once the northern border is empty and the Right Wise King goes south, it won't be as easy to deal with as we are."

"The main target of the Tang Dynasty's defense is still the Right Wise King. They will not spend too much on us."

"Haha, that's interesting. After interrogating the captives, we learned that these 200,000 cavalrymen were actually private soldiers raised by the noble families of the Tang Dynasty. They were called Longxi Flying Cavalry. They were a powerful cavalry that was no less powerful than our Turkic Wolf Cavalry."

"This time, they are using the name of the Northern Border Soldiers to capture us all in one fell swoop."

"If they hadn't rarely participated in battles in order to avoid the emperor's attention and had a serious lack of actual combat experience, we would have been the ones to fail today."

Zhuoli Buhua rolled his eyes and suddenly said, "No wonder. I was wondering why the Hebei army was so easy to deal with, but this cavalry was so powerful. It turned out to be the private soldiers of the nobles. But how could they be so bold as to raise so many cavalry?"

"Don't the Tang Dynasty court and the emperor know that the existence of these people will shake the foundation of the royal family?"

The officials were in an uproar. They had been distributing land everywhere during this period, which naturally offended many aristocratic families. No wonder the other party would use such a powerful force to destroy them.

But they also knew that the ruling style of the Tang Dynasty was different from theirs, and private soldiers were not allowed. Unlike their grasslands, everyone had private soldiers, and when fighting, they would draw young and strong men from the tribe, and after the war, they would return to be herders.

Ashina Moduo said with a click of the tongue: "They must have ulterior motives in hiding such a powerful force. Maybe they are using it to rebel? What a pity. If we had a good discussion, maybe we could have joined forces to deal with the Tang Dynasty."

"Don't make blind guesses. I know something about these people. They have existed since the time of Shibi Khan."

Shi Luodie said calmly: "These people exist to protect the survival of the aristocratic families. They will not conflict with the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. On the contrary, if the Tang Dynasty is in a critical moment, they will come out to help defend the Tang Dynasty."

"For example, this time, they came to Hebei. Although they were here to protect the interests of the nobles, they were also fighting for the Tang Dynasty."

"But they don't have many cavalry like this. The Tang Dynasty is different from us. It costs a lot for them to maintain a cavalry. The loss of 200,000 this time has already hurt them badly. They won't send out troops again."

"The main force of the Tang army is basically in the northern border, used to defend against the Right Wise King's troops. As long as they don't send out cavalry, they can't do anything to us."

"Of course, they have a lot of infantry and can defend the city. It will be difficult for us to attack, but as long as we avoid the city, they won't dare to chase us out. From now on, the land of Hebei, the city is the territory of the Tang army, and the outside of the city is the world of our Turkic Wolf Cavalry."

"Li Ji is missing, and Cheng Yaojin has been captured by us."

After analyzing the situation, Shi Luodie said with a serious expression, "Without the restraint of these two senior generals, Qi Wang Li You will be the most powerful official in Hebei. The next battle will be nothing but a double act."

"If we cooperate with the King of Qi, when he raises his army, half of Shandong will belong to him. We are absolutely free to stay or leave. If you don't want to, I won't force you, but the King of Qi does not have the ability to command the Tang army in Yanshan and Liaozhou."

"If we want to leave the Central Plains, we have to rely on our own abilities to fight our way out."

'Well'

The Liao warriors fell into deep thought for a moment. Even though they had been winning battles, they could not withstand the heavy casualties. Three hundred thousand men went south to collect money, but now only one hundred thousand were left, and two-thirds of them died in the Tang Dynasty.

Everyone wanted to leave immediately and return to the familiar and safe grassland.

Shi Luodie did not force them, because a forced melon is not sweet. If he continued to force them, they might rebel, so he allowed them to choose with great respect. However, after analyzing the situation, everyone looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Do they have any choice?
If they still had more than 200,000 troops, they were confident that they could still fight their way out even if half of them were killed. But now there were only 100,000 left. If they fought through the passes in Yanshan and the narrow passages in western Liaoning, they would probably all die in battle and would not be able to break out.

With Li You's cooperation, the future is bright, but retreating is a life-threatening situation. All the beasts know what to choose.

Then, everyone stood up and said, "We swear to follow the Khan until death, no matter how hard it takes, we will never turn back."

"Ah."

Shi Luodie nodded in satisfaction: "Since you believe in me, I will not let you down. Now that the warriors of both the Jurchen and Khitan tribes have died, their property will also be yours."

"We also need to collect 100,000 sets of armor and equipment captured by the Tang army and equip our warriors with them. With excellent equipment, our combat power can be doubled. We will not be afraid even when facing a powerful enemy."

The beasts were delighted and smiled: "Thank you, Khan."

With fewer people to share the spoils, each person naturally got more. The things that originally belonged to three people were now obtained by one person. In their joy, they immediately forgot about their fellow soldiers who sacrificed their lives. Everyone was calculating in their hearts how much they could get.
