    Deep in the desert, the king's tent was sipping silently. Pots of charcoal fires were burning brightly, and the king's tent was as warm as spring.  Mochu and a group of ministers were having a banquet. Mochu stuffed a piece of mutton into his mouth, chewed it for a while, then took a big gulp of the hot horseradish, and put down the silver bowl happily.

    "Since the heavy snowfall, the desert has been trapped by snowstorms. Fortunately, it stopped ten days ago." Mo Chui said slowly: "Although the snow has stopped, trouble has come. Since the snowstorm, cattle, sheep, and livestock have froze to death and starved to death.  Countless, you say, what should we do?¡±

    "Great Khan, what else is there to say? Naturally, we are sending troops to Monan to demand losses from the Tang people." A general yelled very nervously, with mutton stuffed in his mouth, and his voice was a little slurred.

    Because the nomadic people are located deep in the desert, they are extremely short of daily necessities. Once a snowstorm occurs, countless cattle, sheep and livestock will freeze to death.  Whenever they encounter a year like this, they will raise troops and go south to loot and plunder people and food.

    The Xiongnu are like this, the Xianbei are like this, the Turks are like this, the Khitans and Jurchens are like this. This is a common problem among nomadic peoples.

    In a word, they regard the farming Han people as their inexhaustible warehouse, taking whatever they want and doing whatever they want.

    "Great Khan, send troops!" These words reached everyone's hearts, and all the generals responded loudly.

    "Zuo Xiangcha, what do you think?" Mo Chuo did not express his position, but looked at Du Xipeng.

    Duoxipou is the younger brother of Mochu. He is cautious in character. After thinking about it, he said: "Khan, I thought that there would be numerous casualties in the snowstorm this winter, and the cattle and sheep would be killed and injured. Without looting, we would not be able to survive, so looting is inevitable."

    "Then what are you talking about? Let's fight now!" A general stood up, waved his fist and shouted: "On the fifth road, there were 100,000 bones of the Tang people. This time we go south again and add another 100,000 bones.  .¡±

    In 698, Mo Chuo marched southward and looted the borders. Wu Zetian ordered to mobilize a large army to counterattack.  Mo Chui knew he couldn't defeat him and had to retreat.  At that time, he plundered several states and captured nearly 100,000 border residents. When he retreated from Wuhui Road, he killed all these border residents.

    This is what the general said.

    This was a great pride for the post-Turks. The generals all laughed and applauded in unison.

    Du Xipao gave them a cold look and said, "I haven't finished speaking yet. If you want to speak, you have to wait until I finish speaking. It's not too late."

    The generals were still afraid of this Zuo Xiang Chao. They did not dare to shout after hearing the words, and they could only listen obediently.  Duoxipei continued: "In the past, if we went south to plunder, we would definitely get what we wanted. Now if we go south to plunder, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult. First, there are three cities of Suijiang lying in front of us. If we can't capture the three cities of Suijiang, our  Looting is difficult to be effective. Second, Tubo has been defeated, and the Tang people can completely mobilize the troops defending Tubo to the north and fight us to the death in the desert."

    These are indeed the two major problems faced by the post-Turkic people, and the generals couldn't help but feel suffocated upon hearing this.

    "Zhao Xiangcha, why don't you just say that the Tang Dynasty is not what it used to be and cannot be conquered." Cha Moju, from the right Xiangxiang, stared at Duuxipeng and said coldly.

    Moju was the son of Guduulu. After Guduulu died, Mochu stole the power and established himself as khan.  After some management, his power was stabilized, and he named Gu Duolu's son Moju as the right side inspector.

    Moju is courageous, warlike and bloodthirsty, and has an impatient temper. He can't help himself when he hears Duoxixi's words, which are very sarcastic.  Du Xipeng didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in his words, and continued: "The right side of the investigation has reached an important point. The Tang people today are far from the Tang people ten years ago. If we go south to plunder, we will definitely be attacked by the Tang people  blow."

    "That's better than waiting to die here!" Mo Ju slammed his right hand on the desk: "Since the beginning of winter, there has been heavy snow, and it is difficult for us to even go out for a walk. We can only sit in the tent and have a banquet. After the banquet,  Dong, who of you has not gained weight? If this continues, will you still be able to fight on horseback?"

    This is the truth. Everyone was speechless and lowered their heads in shame.

    "Besides this, there is another piece of news that is very unfavorable to us. Dashi defeated Talos!" Mo Chui took over: "This is the news I just received."

    "The Dashi soldiers were defeated?" Everyone jumped up in surprise, with disbelief on their faces.

    At that time, although there were later Turks and Tubo who were enemies of the Tang Dynasty, it was recognized that only the Dashi Empire could compete with the Tang Dynasty.  In the minds of everyone, Dashi was too far away from the Tang Dynasty, and it would be too difficult for the Tang Dynasty to attack Dashi, so it was unlikely that the two countries would go to war.  Even if the war begins, the Tang Dynasty will have to use its troops to attack far away, and its soldiers will be exhausted, so the possibility of defeat is very high.

    However, Dashi was actually defeated. This news was so shocking that even Mo Ming couldn't help but surprise everyone.

    ¡°Not only; Hussein knew that he was asking for a high price, and he could pay back the money on the ground.  However, this war of words was going to be endless, and he couldn't afford to lose time, so he had to say cruelly: "Okay. Khan, when will you go south?"

    "Whenever the things arrive, we will go south." Sitting silently is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

    Hussein wanted to give him a slap in the face, and suppressed his anger and said: "Khan, you know that there is a huge distance between the Great Food and the Great Turks. Even if we start now, it will take a long time. I will write to the Caliph now.  , the craftsmen and I will stay, and if the Caliph doesn¡¯t send anything, let the Khan do whatever he wants.¡±

    This means keeping them as hostages. Mo Chui was very satisfied and said: "In that case, we will send troops in three days!"

    It was originally agreed to send troops in three days, but now he was blackmailed. The Turkic ministers admired Mo Chui's performance and raised their glasses together: "To the Khan!"

    Mo Chu waved his hand and said: "What do you want to do with me? Respect Brother Hussein! Brother Hussein, come on, do it!"

    Hussein had no choice but to raise a glass in return, and drank the hot horse's semen in his mouth, like bitter wine.

    The emperor and his ministers drank silently, but they were in high spirits. The wine was drunk until the glasses were dry, and they dispersed until the excitement was gone.

    Three days later, Mochu's 400,000-strong army was assembled in the ice and snow. The troops were gathered together in groups. They were so crowded that it was a sea of ????people with no end in sight.

    If you look at it from the air, there are troops hundreds of miles around the king's tent, which is very spectacular.

    Mo Chuo led his ministers out of the king's tent and waved his big hand towards his army, causing a roar like a tsunami: "Khan! Khan!"

    If Gu Duolu is the founder of Post-Tujue, then Mochu is actually the person who promoted Post-Tujue.  After Gu Duolu's death, although the foundation of the Post-Turkic Empire was laid, it was not stable and could be destroyed by the Tang Dynasty at any time. It was his extraordinary talent that allowed him to deal with the Tang Dynasty and finally get the support of Wu Zetian to become the leader.  .

    Therefore, Mochu enjoyed high prestige among the post-Turkic army. When the soldiers saw him, they cheered, which was nothing more normal.

    The army was very satisfied with the love and affection shown to him, and his face lit up.  He led the ministers towards a temple, came to the front of the temple, silently shook his stirrup and dismounted, and led the ministers into the temple gate respectfully.

    What is enshrined in the temple is not a Buddha statue, nor a Buddhist figure such as Arhat and Guanyin, but a tall general, none other than the famous general Cheng Wuting, the archenemy of the Post-Turks!

    Cheng Wuting followed Pei Xingjian in the northern expedition and defeated the Turks at their wits' end. He enjoyed high prestige among the Turks.  Later, Cheng Wuting was ordered to guard the border, and the Turks restrained his tribe and did not dare to plunder.  Until the news came that Cheng Wuting was killed by Wu Zetian, the Turks were overjoyed and celebrated for several days by slaughtering sheep and cattle.

    The most unexpected thing is that not only did the Turks not hate Cheng Wuting, but they built a golden statue for him, built a temple, and paid homage to him whenever he went on an expedition.

    This year¡¯s battle is related to the life and death of the Turks, so Mo Chuo naturally wanted to pay homage to Cheng Wuting in person.  (To be continued.
