Chapter 807 Someone has to do the dirty work!

Hearing Shi Luodie's complaints, Li Yan smiled faintly and said, "Prince, this Hengshan is located between the grassland and the northern desert, spanning hundreds of miles. Two people hiding here are like a drop in the ocean. Even if they mobilize 100,000 troops, they will not be able to find them."

"Besides, the Khan has been captured by them. The Tang Dynasty is not interested in you. It should be that Xueyantuo and Biheli just want to wipe out the roots and are afraid that you will retaliate in the future."

Li Yan felt vexed in his heart. After spending the past few days with him, he already knew what kind of person Shi Luosang was.

He is uneducated, arrogant and domineering, a complete waste.

Yinan is overthinking it. What is there to worry about with a person like this? Can he make a comeback?

Li Yan felt it was ridiculous.

Shi Luodie's expression froze, and then endless sadness and despair appeared on his face. He was at a loss and murmured, "Father Khan, Father Khan, where are you? What should I do in the future?"

Seeing Shi Luodie looking distracted, Li Yan sighed and began to think about his own plan.

Tuli is in poor health and will not live long. Without Tuli's Ashina branch, it will be difficult for the United States to protect itself without relying on the Tang Dynasty. It simply does not have the strength and influence to compete with Yinan for the position of overlord of the grassland.

Even the constraints might not be achieved. Without an opponent, the Yi Nan would quickly gather the troops left behind by Jie Li, rise again and threaten the security of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, the grassland must continue to be divided and fall into a state of separatism among warlords, and the Yi Nan family must not be allowed to dominate alone.

Otherwise, the Tang Dynasty's battle would have been in vain, so Li Yan had the sudden idea to rescue Shi Luodie.

It was originally thought that Shi Luodie had followed a powerful tyrant like Jie Li for many years, and he must have been experienced and responsible enough to escape from the current dangerous situation. In addition, as Jie Li's only son, he had some appeal and could easily recruit some of Jie Li's former subordinates.

He can also gather a group of forces on the grassland to fight against the Yi people.

The two are now mortal enemies. Once such a situation is formed, and there are centrists like Biheli and Tulibu who disrupt the situation from time to time, it will be impossible for the grassland to be reunited.

But who knows that man proposes, God disposes, Jie Li really spoiled his son!
Although he now looks unkempt and unshaven, strong and robust, he is actually only in his teens; but Shi Luodie in front of him is nearly twenty years old, several years older than him, but he does not have the toughness of a man and is always crying.

Without Jie Li's protection, he would have no responsibility at all.

He has no idea what to do for the future, how to reorganize his troops, clean up the mess, and rise again. He is completely a helpless daddy's boy.

If you try to help such a person up, you will be very disappointed!
Although Li Yan has such ability, he is a lazy person after all. He only wants to use his brain and talk. At the critical moment, he will manipulate the situation and do some tricky things, but he is not willing to work hard to build a kingdom.

After finally completing the outline of the Tang Dynasty's ten-year plan and handing it over to Li Shimin, he himself gave up the task and hid away in a foreign country to enjoy a good life. If he were to pick up this mess again in the harsh conditions of the grassland thousands of miles away, wouldn't that be a waste of time?
I don't want to do this kind of babysitting job at all.

Although Li Yan was a little disappointed, he was not too pessimistic and quickly adjusted his plan.

There was nothing wrong with his overall plan, but there were some deviations in the details, and there was still a possibility of saving it. Since Shi Luodie couldn't help him up, he still had another person to use, and that person should be able to carry his ambitions.

Thinking of this, Li Yan looked towards the south, pondered for a while, and made up his mind: "Sir, the Khan has been taken to the Tang Dynasty. It will take at least two or three months to get there. We will pack up and chase them later."

"If everything goes well and we can rescue the Khan from the Tang army, then all problems will be solved."

The fact that Jie Li was defeated so quickly this time shows that there were problems with his way of ruling the grassland, which is why he was deserted by his friends and relatives at the critical moment.

Moreover, after this blow, many tribes on the grassland added insult to injury to Jie Li. After this defeat, Jie Li's prestige in the hearts of countless tribes on the grassland has plummeted. Even if he survives, it will be difficult for him to have the same power as before.

Such a Jie Li is not scary at all.

Jie Li, a stray dog ​​abandoned by half of his people on the grassland, has lost the dignity of Khan and the trust of the people. Even if he regroups, he can only be compared with the newly emerging heroes such as Yi Nan and Bi Heli.

Most of those people were Jie Li’s former slaves, and they were definitely irreconcilable with Jie Li.

At this point, Jie Li is worthy of support again. What's more, with Li Yan staying by Jie Li's side, when Jie Li has laid some foundation and Shi Luodie can slowly stand on his own, he can return to the trajectory of his life that it should be.

Jie Li was defeated too quickly, Yinan rose too quickly, and after defeating Jie Li, the Tang Dynasty was a little too complacent. With a weak foundation, it was easy to fail. These were not good things.

This will allow Jie Li to make use of his remaining energy and fulfill his historical mission.

Li Yan felt that since he had saved Jie Li and his son, it was time for them to work for him and fulfill their dreams. There were some tasks that the Tang Dynasty was not very suitable for, but if he wanted to get them without leaving any trouble, he had to find a black glove.

Some dirty work, things that will leave a bad reputation in history, must be done by someone! Jie Li, the former overlord of the grassland, who is experienced, ruthless, and accustomed to using violence to solve problems, is obviously the most suitable person to play such a role.

Thinking of this, Li Yan couldn't help but turn his gaze to the east, where the regrets of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty were.

Li Yan handed over the roasted rabbit in his hand: "Prince, eat something. Only when you are full will you have the strength to work."

Shi Luodie was instantly happy and took the rabbit excitedly.

But he knew how powerful the young man in front of him was. With a three-foot long sword in his hand, he had helped him kill hundreds of people in the past few days. Every wave of enemies he encountered was killed by him.

The opponent's skills and force made Shi Luodie feel very afraid.

But thinking of the fact that the other party had saved his life, Shi Luodie felt grateful, and he felt both respect and fear for the man in front of him named Li Yan.

During the process, Shi Luodie begged the other party countless times, wanting the other party to save his father Khan, but the other party remained silent.

Unexpectedly, the other party would take the initiative to bring it up now. Shi Luodie had a kind of god-like faith in Li Yan and felt that as long as the other party was willing to help, no matter how difficult his father's current situation was, he could rescue his father.

"Li Yan, thank you. As long as Father Khan can come back, the current unfavorable situation will definitely be reversed. Whether it is Yi Nan or Xi Biheli, Father Khan can easily deal with them."

Shi Luodie immediately patted his chest and promised: "I know you are a Han Chinese, and you must be a frustrated person in the south. When the time comes, I will ask my father to help you seize the Tang Dynasty, hand it over to you to manage, and let you become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

"Haha, thank you, Your Highness!"

Li Yan smiled inexplicably and said, "I am originally from the Tang Dynasty royal family, but I have an irreconcilable hatred with the current emperor, Li Shimin. I came to the grassland this time to connect with the Khan and do some big business."

"I just didn't expect Khan to be defeated so quickly?"

"So that's how it is. That makes it easier. Our enemy is Li Shimin. As long as we defeat him, both you and I can be avenged." Shi Luodie gritted his teeth while taking big bites of the delicious rabbit meat.

He understood it even more clearly in his mind. At the end of the Sui Dynasty a few years ago, all the rebel kings in the Central Plains had paid homage to their father, the Khan. Even Li Yuan was a vassal of the Turks, and it was with the support of the Turks that he was able to control the Central Plains.

After Li Shimin came to power, many of the royal family members who had been eliminated by Li Shimin fled north to the grasslands and joined the Turks. However, most of them had lost their roots and were of no use, so Jie Li ignored them.

Most of the people from the Central Plains who appear on the grasslands have such origins.

The first thing Shi Luodie thought of was that the young man who saved him might be in the same situation.

Sure enough, after some probing, Li Yan revealed some of his background.

Shi Luodie quickly appointed him an official and made a promise, repeatedly guaranteeing that as long as Jie Li was rescued, he would definitely help Li Yan fight back to the Central Plains and regain his own kingdom.

After one rabbit was eaten, Shi Luodie stretched out his sleeves with gold thread trimmings with a look of unsatisfied feeling, wiped the oil stains on his mouth, stood up and packed up his belongings.

Not long after, the two men mounted their horses and headed south in the bright morning and the early spring mist.

No birds fly in the barren desert, and I am still lazy in the dreams of thousands of mountains and hills!
Between the north and south of the desert, there is a desert Gobi area more than a thousand miles wide, which the locals call Mandal Gobi.

Walking into the Gobi Desert is like entering a primitive wilderness, desolate and lifeless.

The Mandal Gobi Desert naturally divides the desert steppe into two parts: the south and the north. The south is close to the Central Plains, with a suitable climate and abundant water and grass. Some powerful Turkic tribes divided up the grasslands in the south and continued to invade southward.

The northern part of the desert is dry and rainless, and compared to the south, it is even more sparsely populated. Most of the grassland tribes distributed there are poor and weak.

If tribes from north to south of the desert want to travel back and forth, they have to cross the vast Gobi Desert.

In such a harsh environment, there is a river hundreds of miles long that flows from northwest to southeast, crossing the Gobi Desert.

The river moistened the sand on both sides, allowing grass and trees to grow, forming a green carpet more than ten kilometers long along the banks of the river, connecting the north and south of the desert and naturally becoming a broad road.

This road, which was later called the Chantian Khan Road by the grassland people, was also called the Tongmo Avenue at that time. It was used to connect the north and the south. After the defeat of Jie Li's army, the remnants of the defeated army fled to the north along this road.

Occasionally, migrating tribes would stop here for a short while to rest.
