Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

Seeing this, the others were not too surprised.

Ashide quickly advised, "Helu, if you go over there now, you'll not only alert the enemy, but you'll also ruin our plans!"

"We cannot let our people die tragically in vain! We summoned you here to avenge our people!"

He Lu, his eyes blazing with fury, said, "What are we waiting for! We'll just wipe out Ashina's bunch of bastards!"

“Helu, of course, don’t worry. We need to check on Ashina first, what’s the situation over there. I’m afraid he’s already on guard... so we need to plan carefully.”

Before Ashide could finish speaking, a sound came from outside the tent.

"Plan? You want to plan something? He Lu, I haven't offended you at all, have I? And you want to kill us all!"

As he spoke, Ashina walked directly in from outside the tent.

Seeing this, He Lu drew his knife and was about to attack: "You haven't offended us? You bastard, how dare you come over here! I'll chop you up right now!"

As Helu charged towards them, Fan Gang Ashina, standing beside Ashina, raised a heavy hammer in his hand and slammed it into the ground, causing the ground to shake several times. He then stood protectively in front of Ashina and roared, "Try it! I'll smash you into mincemeat!"

Upon seeing this, the guards that He Lu had brought with him all drew their swords.

Seeing this, Ashina said, "Ashide, Helu is brainless. Are you brainless too? I don't know what you're talking about! But I'm here today to make my stance clear! I have a clear conscience, so don't be swayed by others!"

"If I've done anything to wrong you, I'll commit suicide right here in front of you without you having to lift a finger! Of course, if you want to pin a blame on me, I definitely won't stand for it!"

He Lu was somewhat wary of Fan Gang Ash, who was like a small mountain: "Alright! You said it!"

He Lu angrily sat back down.

"Ashid, you tell me. Even if I say it, this bastard won't believe me!"

Ashide, seeing Ashina's confident demeanor, began to feel uneasy.

However, since things have already come to this point, let's get straight to the point and make things clear.

After all, Ashina was on his territory, and even with his simple-minded son, Fan Gang Ashina, he couldn't protect him.

Ashide then recounted all the information that everyone present had received.

Ashina burst out laughing after hearing this.

He Lu jumped up, pointed at Ashina, and yelled, "What are you laughing at?"

"How could you believe such a stupid, low-level, divisive rumor? Are you all brainless? My entire Ashina tribe has less than three thousand cavalrymen left, averaging eight hundred cavalrymen per tribe! Can you really annihilate your entire tribe with three thousand cavalrymen?"

"Putting everything else aside, Helu! Do you think that even if I were to launch a surprise attack on you, we could annihilate your entire Helu tribe?"

Ashina asked calmly.

He Lu was completely dumbfounded by Ash's question.

He looked at Ashide and said, "That's right! Ashide, Gesa, Tesa, is your information accurate? How can those old, weak and disabled soldiers left behind by Ashina be a match for our Helu tribe?! Even if it's a sneak attack, it's impossible for them to annihilate our Helu tribe."

"You guys aren't messing with me, are you?"

Ashide glanced at Helu, somewhat speechless, thinking to himself, if Helu weren't good at fighting, with their brains, they would have been wiped out long ago.

"Ashina, who knows if you have any troops hidden away?" Ashide asked sternly.

Ashina said, “Ashide, I always thought you were a smart man. How could you be so foolish! What benefit would it bring me to kill all of you? If I were to wipe you out, I would wipe out your main force. Then, how could those people in your rear be a match for me? As the commander-in-chief, I have countless ways to wear down your strength.”

"Why would I use such a foolish method? If we fight amongst ourselves, whoever benefits the most will be the instigator. Internal strife within our Turkic community will be a lose-lose situation for every one of us!"

As she spoke, Ashina looked at Zhamu Ashide, who was hiding to the side, and shouted sternly, "Zhamu, did Xiao Ce send you?"

After Ashina called out to him, Zhamu suddenly shuddered.

"No...no...no! No...it's not true...they really died, I swear by the gods! And it really was Ashina's army!" Zhamu pointed to the sky and swore.

Tesa and the others also hurriedly asked the messenger beside them.

These people all made solemn vows.

Because the Turks are brainwashed from childhood and have the utmost reverence for the gods, if someone dares to swear an oath to the gods, it is very likely true.

What they didn't know was that the reason these people dared to make such a solemn oath was entirely because they had been brainwashed by Xiao Ce; they all believed they were working for a god.

Seeing this, Ashina narrowed his eyes slightly: "Actually, whether this matter is true or false, we can send scouts to investigate. We'll have the results within three days by fast horse!"

He Lu sneered, "Three days? Who knows? What are you planning to do with these three days? What kind of shady business are you up to? If you can't produce enough information tonight, you're dead! I'm telling you!"

Ashina said, "It's simple, capture me! I'll offer myself as a hostage, and I'll stay with you until you get a definite result! If there are any problems, you can cut off my head!"

“You are all smart men. If you kill me now, a bloody battle is inevitable! Once we are both exhausted, the garrison of Yanbei City, who are already starving to death, will surely take the opportunity to attack! What will you use to defend yourselves then?”

Everyone was silent.

"Fine! If you dare to play any tricks, I will definitely kill you!" Ashide's gaze suddenly turned fierce.

Ashina smiled faintly: "I'm waiting for your apology! However, you must send your most trusted people."

Everyone nodded, and then they called upon their most trusted people to form a scout team.

...

Three days later, Xiao Ce lay lazily outside a tent.

Several hot Turkic girls knelt beside him, wearing only a few pieces of cloth, and massaged him.

Xiao Ce didn't really want to see it; he was mainly thinking about his own safety.

Not only that, Xiao Ce also ordered a squad of soldiers to hold crossbows to their heads, and to blow their heads off if they dared to make any rash moves!

In the rear of the Turkic territory, everything went even more smoothly than expected.

Firstly, the 'Death Urgen' ghost cavalry he created was simply too intimidating; their cavalry could simply appear on horseback in the night.

These superstitious Turks were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy.

Secondly, after Xiao Ce instigated their internal strife, they wore each other down, and almost all of their capable fighters were gone.

Xiao Ce did not exterminate them all.

In fact, in Xiao Ce's eyes, all these Turks deserved to die.

After all, as the ancients said: "Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts."

However, Xiao Ce looked at some of the Turkic girls, each one exuding exotic charm, and realized that killing them would be a waste.

Thinking that the new country they had established on the grasslands would need a large labor force, it was time to let the former slaves enslave them and help them build it.

Zhang Yunqing did not disappoint Xiao Ce's expectations; in a short period of time, he had already created the prototype of this new country.

Given enough time, he really could build a new kingdom on the grasslands.

His idea was simple: to have Zhang Yunqing establish a regime to replace the Turks, thus deceiving others!

They were made to believe that the Turks were still there, when in fact this place was already their backyard.

Now all he needs is time. He will connect the four prefectures of the northern desert with this Turkic region. When that damned emperor gives him attitude, he will kick him off the throne!

As Xiao Ce enjoyed the massages from the Turkic girls, he watched the busy crowd and felt a sense of accomplishment welling up inside him.

Just then, he saw Xiao Jiu returning with Da Lei in the distance.

Seeing this, Xiao Ce waved his hand, ordering the soldiers beside him to take away those beautiful and hot Turkic girls.

Upon seeing Xiao Ce, Da Lei immediately knelt down to pay his respects.

Xiao Ce stopped him.

"Da Lei, you must be tired from your journey. Don't give me that 'it' act, you're two days earlier than I expected!"

As he spoke, Xiao Ce looked at Da Lei's slightly haggard face and the dark circles under his eyes that resembled a panda's: "Why are you in such a hurry? Did something happen?"

Da Lei nodded: "Reporting to Your Highness! Indeed, Yanbei City is in trouble."
