The Hetao grassland was a fertile grassland. This was where the Jie Li Khan often appeared, and also where the Ashina family was located.
The Ashina clan was a khanate of the Eastern Turkic Khaganate, just like the imperial family of the Central Plains.
Li Yuanba had never been a kind person. The two hundred thousand Turkic cavalry that Jie Li Khagan had led south represented the emptiness of the grasslands behind him.
Perhaps he still had troops on the grasslands, but there definitely wouldn't be too many of them. Moreover, they were scattered throughout the grasslands.
This gave Li Yuanba other ideas, so he brought 60,000 cavalrymen to the Hetao Plains.
"Your Highness, we will enter the Hetao region after about seventy miles.”
Chai Shao said as he rode beside Li Yuanba.
"Haha! Brother-in-law, you should know what we're going to do now, right?”
Li Yuanba looked at Chai Shao and lightly laughed. Chai Shao was married to Li Yuanba's sister, Li Xiu Ning, so he asked.
Previously, he knew that Li Xiu Ning's death had a lot to do with the Jie Li Khan. Chai Shao also hated Jie Li Khan to death.
"Slaughter the prairie!"
Chai Shao said hatefully. He wasn't stupid, and at the same time, he knew some of Li Yuanba's plans. Now that Li Yuanba had brought his army to the plains, it was obvious that he wanted to raid the base of the Jie Li Khan.
"Not bad! Slaughter the grassland! Since that old brat Jie Li wants to dig out our nest, why don't we dig out Jie Li's nest first?”
8th month, 29th day, Li Yuanba led 60,000 cavalry into the Hetao Plains.
"Your Highness, the scouts have reported that there is a tribe ten miles ahead. The size of the tribe is about five to six thousand people.”
A scout came to Li Yuanba's side and shouted.
"Five to six thousand people? Haha! This was not a small tribe. Let's go! Go and destroy this tribe."
Li Yuanba chuckled.
Then, the 60,000 cavalrymen rode on their horses and galloped towards a tribe.
The Hetao Plain was an extremely fertile grassland. In this area, only the Turkic tribes were allowed to graze, and only tribes close to the Jie Li Khan were allowed to graze.
Thus, Li Yuanba didn't even ask what tribe these people were from and immediately started a massacre.
Only when the galloping of horses reached the Turkic tribes did they discover a powerful cavalry galloping toward them.
With nowhere to go, they mounted their horses, raised their scimitars, and launched a desperate charge at the Tang army.
After a quarter of an hour, all the adult men in the tribe had been slaughtered. The remaining people were all surrounded in an open space.
"Why are we keeping them? Was it a waste of food? Kill them all!"
Li Yuanba rode his horse to the front of the captives and looked at the soldiers around him.
Li Yuanba had never shown any mercy or mercy. He didn't think that he should show mercy to a group of bandits.
As the heads rolled on the ground and blood flowed across the steppe, all the Turkic tribesmen were dead.
Their cattle and sheep became the property of the Tang army and Li Yuanba's spoils of war.
"From now on, the six of us will each lead ten thousand cavalrymen to attack separately. Don't fight to the death with the Turks. If you can win, then fight. If you can't, then retreat if you encounter a large number of Turkic cavalry.
I only have one principle: kill as many Turks as possible. As for the cattle and sheep, they would take those that could be taken away and kill those that could not. Even if they had to rot under the sun, they could not be left to the Turks!
We will use the center of the Hetao Grassland as our gathering point. Five days later, we will regroup at the center of the Hetao Grassland!”
Li Yuanba's order was ruthless. 60,000 cavalrymen, each with 10,000 men. How much of a storm would this cause on the plains?
After this, how many noble clans would remain in the Eastern Turkic Khaganate?
When Li Yuanba saw the dust from the five roads, he knew that the Turks would suffer a great loss.
Large numbers of noble tribes had been massacred, and large numbers of cattle and sheep had died. This winter would be a difficult one for the Eastern Turks.
The days of killing would always pass without you knowing it. Li Yuanba had no idea how many people he had killed in the past few days.
He didn't know how many tribes he had destroyed. He only knew that he was completely numb to death now.
Perhaps he still had some feelings in his heart, but after these few days, he no longer felt anything.
After wiping out another tribe, Li Yuanba looked up at the setting sun.
"Pass down the order. Start a fire and roast the mutton. Kill all the cattle and sheep. Except for a portion of the meat, throw away the rest.”
After Li Yuanba gave the order, he dismounted from his horse and placed the two blood-stained hammers on the ground.
When Li Yuanba had rested for a while and finished a roasted lamb leg, a cavalryman arrived.
"Your Highness, scouts have reported that there is a tribe by the river twenty li away from our army. They are flying a wolf's head flag and are suspected to be an important Eastern Turkic tribe!”
"Wolf Head Flag? Ashina! It's definitely the Ashina family!"
Li Yuanba knew that the tribe that could graze near the center of the Hetao Plains was definitely a tribe with deep ties with the Jie Li Khan.
There weren't many tribes that could fly the wolf head flag, and this was near the center of the Hetao grassland. Other than the Ashina clan of the Jie Li Khan, he really couldn't think of any other tribes.
