The rations had finally been transported back. Although they were still short of meat, it was already good enough for them to eat their fill.
Tang Xiao was quite happy to see the soldiers wolfing down the food.
According to his brothers, he couldn't be a hungry ghost.
Tang Xiao didn't forget about the Sky Eagle Cult.
He had some connections in the Great Zhou over the years. Moreover, he also had his own intelligence system. However, he had always been in a dormant state. It was time for him to make a move.
It was already early September, and the weather was slightly cold.
It was finally Tang Xiao's turn to rest, but he didn't sleep for long before Xiao Dao woke him up.
"Marshal, it's snowing!"
Tang Xiao was in a daze, but when he heard that it was snowing, all his sleepiness disappeared.
He put on his clothes and walked out of the door. As expected.
The sky was extremely gloomy. Snowflakes were falling, and it seemed like it wouldn't stop for a while.
This was great news. Although the gloomy weather always gave people a bad feeling, Tang Xiao was in a good mood.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier. Tang Xiao changed into thicker clothes and went to the military commander. He remembered that the Tang Army had no lack of thick clothes, but he still asked for confirmation.
The news he received was not bad. There were enough thick clothes.
Tang Xiao laughed in his heart. I'll see when the Turks are finished.
When he walked up to the city wall and looked through the binoculars, he discovered another strange thing.
The Turks are retreating? What's going on?
Tang Xiao quickly gathered the soldiers to discuss the matter.
Tang Xiao finally understood.
What ruthless Turks, what ruthless Geshu Han, what ruthless Turkic Khan.
They had summoned nearly a million Turkic warriors to attack Beiliang City, and it would be a blessing if they could take it.
But if they couldn't, it would be a waste of energy.
It seemed very fair, with each tribe sending the same number of people, but the Turkic Khan's tribe was several dozen times larger than the other tribes.
What did this mean? To the Turkic Khan, the death of a thousand men was a drop in the ocean, but to a small tribe, the death of a thousand men meant that the tribe would disappear from the vast steppe.
Tang Xiao finally understood. Geshu Han would take advantage of the fact that the temperature of the steppe hadn't completely dropped to start a war that would engulf the entire steppe.
The grassland was about to be unified.
Tang Xiao felt a tinge of fear at this thought. There were dozens or even hundreds of tribes on the steppe.
Then the other tribes would only face destruction.
If the Central Plains were to be unified, he would have to face an even more terrifying monster in the future. Of course, Tang Xiao was not afraid.
If it was him alone, he might not be able to make it, but with the system.
Luo Yi walked over and asked,
"Tang Shuai, do you want to chase after them?"
Tang Xiao shook his head. Geshu Han's retreat had been orderly, and pursuing him now would be a waste of manpower. Moreover, Geshu Han had chosen the perfect time.
The road would soon become muddy as soon as the snow fell. This situation was very unfriendly to the cavalry.
Geshu Han wouldn't give him this chance.
Tang Xiao could even sense that Geshu Han's goal wasn't limited to this. He could even see Geshu Han smiling at him from afar.
Tang Xiao stood on the city wall, smiling as well.
Geshu Han's greatest weakness had been exposed. He was too cautious.
If they went all out to attack Beiliang City, even if they did not break through in the end, there would not be many Tang Army soldiers left.
At that time, Zhou Yuan would definitely not let go of this opportunity. Tang Xiao would not be able to hold on.
Geshu Han wanted to unify the steppe and exterminate the other tribes, so he was preserving his strength. But this was also giving himself a chance to survive.
In half a year's time, the Tang Army would be able to recover seventy to eighty percent of its combat power. With the system's rewards, its strength would definitely increase greatly, and the Tang Army would be even stronger.
Even if you unify the grasslands, he won't be afraid.
This was because the system's rewards were too generous.
It wasn't time to collect it yet. There was still one more crucial point, and that was Nan Jiyun.
Everyone was cheering. After all, they didn't have to die. Only Nan Ba had a strange expression.
In the past two months, he had fallen deeply in love with this unit, but the words he said before coming made him very embarrassed.
He thought about it and decided to leave. There was no place in the world that was not home.
Tang Xiao couldn't help but laugh when he saw this. He looked at Nan Ba's reluctant steps and looked back every three steps. It was a bit pretentious.
Tang Xiao ordered," Nan Jiyun!”
Nan Jiyun was stunned for a moment. She turned around and didn't know what to do. It was rare to see this man.
"Nan Jiyun, my Tang Army's commander Tang Xiao hereby appoints you as the Tang Army's Guo Yi commandant. After the battle, you will be assigned specific duties.”
Nan Ba suddenly smiled and saluted.
"Yes, sir! Nan Ba will do as you say!"
Nan Ba wasn't the only one who laughed. Tang Xiao laughed as well, especially that sinister Luo Yi. He even said that the monkey stole the peach, making Nan Ba so angry that he almost stomped his foot.
Everyone laughed.
