Chapter 533 Grain Seizure

Ashide Wenfu didn't take Pei Xingjian seriously. Only the Western Turks would be foolish enough to fall into the hands of Pei Xingjian. Ashide Wenfu wouldn't be that stupid.

"What do you think about this? Do you agree or disagree?" Fengzhi asked, looking around the tent.

"I agree." After everyone discussed it, a tribal chief voted in favor.

"I agree."

"I agree."

"I agree..." After someone took the lead, others also expressed their agreement.

"Okay, it's decided. Send a troop of soldiers to rob the Tang army's grain carts immediately." Fengzhi made the decision.

From the beginning to the end, they never looked at Khan Ashina Nishufu, who was sitting in the main seat.

If it weren't for the fact that Ashina Nishufu had Ashina blood flowing in his body, these people wouldn't have made him Khan.

There's really nothing good to say about a guy who was only mentioned briefly in history books from beginning to end, leaving only a few words.

Ashina Nishufu was able to become a puppet Khan of Dewenfu and Fengzhi because he had Ashina blood.

Although the people in the Central Plains pay attention to blood, the grasslands value blood even more. If you don't have a noble bloodline, you can't command all the Turks. Even

a powerful tribe like Ashina Dewenfu can't do it. Without a noble bloodline, what qualifications do you have to command the various tribes on the grassland.

It was because Ashina Dewenfu knew this truth very well that he was reluctant but had to make Ashina Nishufu their Khan.

Ashinde Wenfu glanced at Ashinani Shufu who was sitting on the main seat, and he was filled with hatred, and a fire of evil rose in his heart.

Feeling the gaze from Ashinani Shufu, Ashinani Shufu did not raise his head, and continued to eat and drink.

Anyway, he, Ashinani Shufu, was just a puppet Khan. These guys respected him, but they did not sincerely support him to become Khan. They just valued the Ashinai blood flowing in his body.

If he did not have the noble Ashinai blood, he, Ashinani Shufu, would be nothing in the eyes of these people.

If he, Ashinani Shufu, was really the Turkic Khan, he would have opposed these guys' rebellion against the Tang Dynasty long ago.

How could these guys understand the power of the Tang Dynasty? To resist the Tang Dynasty is a dead end.

The Turkish cavalry quickly found the Tang army's food transport team. It was really that this food transport team was too conspicuous. A group of old, weak, sick and disabled people moved slowly. How could they hide from the search of the Turkish cavalry?

"Oh~oh~" An unusual sound came from a distance. The Tang army soldiers who were escorting the food cart stopped and saw smoke and dust in the distance.

"Run, the Turks are coming! The Turks are coming, run!" Hundreds of Tang army soldiers turned around and fled.

The Turkish cavalry arrived in front of the grain carts in a blink of an eye and surrounded the three hundred grain carts. When they saw the old, weak, sick and disabled people fleeing in all directions, the Turkish cavalry immediately went to chase and kill them.

"Come back to me, a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people are also worth chasing. Don't let these bastards dirty your swords. Take all the grain away." The Turkish general called back the cavalry who rushed out and ordered them to take the grain carts away.

The Turkish cavalry did not have any doubts because the grain carts were obtained too easily. After all, the main force of the Tang army was not able to protect the grain.

Not to mention a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people, it was even more impossible for them to defend the grain. For the Turks, this was a normal thing.

The Turks pulled the stolen grain carts, sang their Turkic songs, and returned to the Turkic settlement. On the way, they passed a place with water and grass.

"Everyone stop. We have walked so far. Everyone is tired. The horses are tired. Let's rest here for a while and let our horses graze properly." The Turkic general said.

"Sir, the leader has ordered that after seizing the Tang army's grain carts, we must return to the settlement immediately and cannot stay halfway." The deputy beside the general said.

He was determined to obey the order of Ashidewenfu, so he reminded the Turkic general not to forget the military order.

"Don't yell at me here. We haven't eaten since we left in the morning. We are all hungry. The horses have been running for a long time and haven't eaten yet."

"Now we are hungry and exhausted. If we don't take a rest, how can we have the strength to rush back to the garrison? If we meet the Tang army on the way, how can we fight them with our hungry stomachs?"

"Everyone listen to me. Everyone has eaten and drunk enough. It won't be too late to get on the road. If we really meet the Tang army, we are not afraid." The Turkic general shouted and ordered his men to start unsaddle the horses and herd them, and get some food from the grain cart.

"Oh~" A round of cheers rang out, and the Turks got off their horses one after another, took off the saddles on the horses' backs, and let the horses eat grass by themselves.

Except for the Turks who were walking towards the grain cart to get grain, the other Turks were in groups of three or five, lying or sitting, scattered around.

The accompanying scouts were sent out to guard within a hundred miles to prevent the Tang army from attacking without knowing it.

All of this was seen clearly by the strong Tang soldiers hiding in the grain cart through the gaps. They held their crossbows tightly in their hands and waited for the Turks to approach.

The Turks who were getting grain approached step by step, and suddenly there was a slight sound, and a crossbow arrow shot through the throat of the Turk.

The strong Turks hiding in the grain cart pushed away the overhead shield, jumped out of the grain cart, raised the crossbow in his hand and shot at the Turks.

The movement here alarmed the Turks, but it was too late. The Tang army soldiers had already fired arrows at them with their crossbows. The Turks were horrified and rushed to fight.

Fifteen hundred warriors, holding their swords, marched in neat steps and formed a sword formation to attack the Turks.

The Turks were no match for the Tang army's sword formation and were quickly beaten to a pulp. The Turks were so scared that they fled in all directions, not caring about anything else. They just had to escape.

"Quick, send a signal!" shouted the leader of the Tang army warriors.

"Yes!" The warrior in charge of sending the signal responded, and immediately took out a simple signal bomb and ignited it. With a whoosh, a spark rose into the air and exploded with a bang.

After the Tang army ambushed in the distance saw the signal, they immediately rushed out and wiped out all the Turks who robbed food and grass.

"Report to the general manager, the Turks have been completely wiped out." The scout flew over and reported to Pei Xingjian.

"After this, I believe the Turks will learn their lesson and will not try to steal our military food and grass again." Pei Xingjian waved his hand to let the scout retreat, and said with a smile.

"The Turks don't have the courage to try to steal our military food and grass again." Li Siwen said with a smile.

I didn't expect the plan to be implemented so smoothly. The Turks were too stupid.

"In order to quell the Eastern Turkic rebellion as soon as possible, our army must speed up its advance. Pass the order down, the entire army must speed up and advance, and must arrive at the north of the Shanyu Protectorate before dark." Pei Xingjian gave the order.

The entire army immediately accelerated forward.
