Chapter 187 Everyone has their own agenda
"That's enough! You go down first and continue to send people to find out the situation. By the way, send people deep into the Tang Dynasty to find out whether the people in charge of these states are Li Dao Zong and others." Ba Zhuo waved his hand and said.
He didn't know what these people were thinking, and he didn't know that these people had been sleeping with him for a long time.
"Yes!" The scout was relieved as if he had been pardoned! He hurriedly left the big tent and breathed a sigh of relief. He was really stressed in there just now. Fortunately, he responded smartly, otherwise he would have fainted long ago.
The scout looked back at the big tent, shuddered, and turned away.
"Khan! Now the Tang army seems to have noticed something. I think we should suspend the attack on Wantong City and wait until the situation is clear before making a decision." Jiuli Chieftain Jiuli Zhinan said.
Jiuli is a small tribe with a small population and can only rely on the wings of a large tribe. This time, Jiuli is going to fight with all its troops.
If it is left here, the small Jiuli will be annexed by other tribes.
It will be like the Xue and Yantuo tribes in the past. It is because the two tribes annexed each other that the current Xueyantuo tribe was formed.
Jiuli does not want to follow in the footsteps of Xueyantuo.
Other tribes with different surnames also want to see the situation first, if the Tang army is not exhausted because of the Tang emperor's expedition.
They thought it was more prudent to retreat, and there was no need to fight to the end, which would not benefit anyone.
They followed Bazhuo to fight the Tang Dynasty because they also thought that the Tang emperor was on a long expedition, and the Tang Dynasty must be empty, and they could take this opportunity to make a fortune.
Then, they would pat their butts and leave, returning to their tribes with a lot of property.
When the Tang emperor knew the news, they had already returned to their tribes, and the emperor would be furious because the country was looted.
When the main force of the Tang army returned, they would definitely use troops in Mobei, and they would pass the pot to Xueyantuo without any pressure.
Then he would do the same thing, raise his butcher knife, unite with the angry Tang army, launch a fatal attack on Xueyantuo, and preferably destroy Xueyantuo in one fell swoop.
At this time, Bazhuo didn't know that the tribes that followed him to attack the Tang Dynasty were not only thinking about the wealth and women of the Tang Dynasty,
but also thinking about his Xueyantuo Khanate. He thought that as long as he led these people to fight the Tang Dynasty, he could not only express his dissatisfaction with the Tang Dynasty, but also
tie these tribes that had opinions about him to his chariot. As long as they attacked the Tang Dynasty, the Tang army would hate them, and these tribes would have to fight on the same front with him.
However, Bazhuo still underestimated the shamelessness of these tribes. They had already thought about how to pass the blame to Xueyantuo.
"That's right! Khan! Wantong City cannot be captured in a short time. If the Tang army is really well prepared, it would be unwise for us to attack Wantong City." "
Once we are held back by the Tang army in Wantong City and wait for the arrival of other Tang troops, it will be difficult for our army to retreat." The chief of the Juhai tribe also stood up.
"Please think twice, Khan. It won't take much time. It's not too late to wait until the situation is clear." Other small tribes also stood up and expressed their opinions.
The large tribes such as the Uighur, Bayegu, and Tongluo said nothing. Although they said nothing, their meaning was actually very obvious. They also agreed with the opinions of these small tribes.
They came to take advantage of the situation, not to attract hatred like Xueyantuo's Domi Khan.
Xueyantuo was in front to attract the attention of the Tang people and attract hatred, and these tribes followed Xueyantuo to take advantage of the situation.
This was in line with the perfect idea in the hearts of these tribes, otherwise who would be stupid enough to fight to the death with the huge Tang Dynasty.
Isn't this just a matter of hanging himself!
Bazhuo saw that all tribes were opposed to attacking Wantong City now, and the generals of his own Xueyantuo tribe seemed to have the same idea.
Anyway, it wouldn't take long to figure out the situation, just a few days, so Bazhuo planned to keep his troops here.
"No! We must launch an attack on Wantong City immediately and capture Wantong City in one fell swoop." Before Bazhuo could speak, their Han Khatun spoke.
Her enemy Li Chengqian was in Wantong City. She hoped that Bazhuo could break through Wantong City and capture Li Chengqian to torture her.
Now he didn't plan to attack the city. How could she tolerate this? Her enemy was right in front of her, but she couldn't do anything to him. Who would understand the uncomfortable feeling?
The generals of the Xueyantuo tribes were more and more dissatisfied with this Khatun.
Even Bazhuo frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with his Khatun's behavior.
"Khatun! If we rush forward without knowing the situation, we will only fall into the enemy's trap and suffer heavy losses."
"If the Tang army strikes back, our Xueyantuo Khanate may even be destroyed."
"Marching and fighting are the business of men. Khatun, you are a woman, so you'd better not say anything!" The Uighur general said arrogantly.
As a powerful clan second only to the Xueyantuo, the Uighur general did not take the Khatun seriously at all.
The Uighur general said to Bazhuo arrogantly: "Khan! There is no need to discuss this matter any further! Stop the attack on Wantong City now, and it will not be too late to take action after the situation becomes clear." The Uighur
general spoke in a firm tone, and he was not asking for Bazhuo's opinion at all. This was the confidence of the tribe.
After all, the Xueyantuo Khanate was an alliance khanate united by various tribes. Even Bazhuo, as the Khan, had to be courteous to these large tribes.
Seeing that Bazhuo was about to agree, the Han woman hurriedly and quietly pulled the corner of Bazhuo's clothes, and when Bazhuo turned around to look at her, she winked at him vigorously.
Bazhuo frowned, but in the end he did not directly agree to these people's request, and just perfunctorily passed it over.
"You go back first. This Khan needs to think carefully
about this matter." Everyone saw what the two of them did just now. The Uighur general was dissatisfied and left with a wave of his sleeves, forgetting even the basic etiquette.
Bazhuo was furious when he saw that the Uighur general dared to be so arrogant in front of him. If the other party was not the younger brother of the Uighur Khan Tumidu,
Bazhuo would have ordered people to hack him to death based on his arrogant attitude just now.
Who said that the tribe was strong enough to compete with Xueyantuo? Now they need to use the power of the Uighur tribe to fight against the Tang Dynasty.
Bazhuo couldn't do anything to the arrogant guy for the time being, so he could only endure it for the time being.
The other tribes were not as powerful as the Uighurs, so they naturally did not dare to be as arrogant and rude to Bazhuo as the Uighur general.
The tribes bowed and left the tent.
They would not agree to Bazhuo's attack on Wantong City no matter what, at least before the situation was clear, they would not act rashly.
If Bazhuo insisted on acting rashly, he could just let his own soldiers attack the city alone.
