Next, the three of them talked about a bunch of random things, including some countries south of the Tang Dynasty, which were basically targeted by Li Xiang. Su Dingfang and Niu Jinda were not the kind of stable people. Now, after listening to Li Xiang’s grand plan, the hearts of these two people have flown to the battlefield, as if the battlefield in front of them was not a battlefield. In their opinion, Xueyantuo had been crippled. Could such an enemy still be considered an enemy?
Just as the three were about to continue chatting, the first group of tribal chiefs had arrived at Li Xiang, who quickly asked the two men to go down and prepare. There were more than a hundred tribal chiefs in total, and no one could be absent.
We have to prepare well and let them know how powerful the Tang Dynasty is, and at the same time, they have to know how capable the Tang Dynasty is. Only when they recognize the Tang Dynasty in their hearts will they truly surrender. If we rely on force, it may work temporarily, but it will not work permanently.
For four whole days, new tribal leaders came every day. This was also the most complete gathering on the grassland. When the Turkic Khan was still there, there was no way to gather all these tribal leaders. After all, many tribes were in faraway places at that time, and even if they wanted to participate, they did not have the ability to do so.
Things are different now than they were back then. The Tang army has sent notices to all the tribes, and they have to come obediently, because the Tang army has made it very clear to them that they can either attend the alliance or wait to be killed. There are only these two choices now, there is no other choice.
Standing on a high place, Li Xiang accepted the etiquette of these people, but Li Xiang could see that many people still had anger on their faces. These people were actually very dissatisfied with the recent division of territory by the Tang Dynasty. But it didn't matter. Now it has been explained to you, and you can choose not to do it, but if you choose not to do it, then you should know the consequences.
When everyone was eating, a small show happened to start. Each tribe would send out a warrior, and they would fight each other. This is also a traditional show on the grassland. You can fight with bare hands or with weapons. This can be regarded as a challenge from the grassland tribes to Li Xiang.
"Your Highness, please send the warriors of the Tang Dynasty to fight."
A tribal leader was pushed forward as a representative. When he said this, he was cursing the other tribal leaders in his heart. Why don't you guys come out yourself, but push me out instead?
"I'm not interested in taking you one by one. You send out your ten strongest tribes, and I'll send out my ten strongest soldiers. It's ten against ten."
Li Xiang knew that if we came one by one, these people might not be convinced at all. So we could come in groups of ten or ten, so that more people would participate. If you are still not convinced, then I can only say that you have bad intentions.
This approach directly shattered their plan, but Li Xiang had already given the order, and they had no room for rebuttal. Moreover, doing so would also be advantageous for them, so they went back to discuss it and quickly selected ten warriors. These ten people were like a small mountain, and they should also be strong men on the Turkic steppe.
Li Xiang nodded, and Tiger One and Tiger Ten stood out.
Li Xiang’s request to them was very simple: use all your strength from the start and make sure to defeat the enemy with one move.
The tribal leaders on the grassland all stroked their beards and smiled slightly. They believed that the Han people were no match for them in a one-on-one fight, let alone that these were the ten strongest people on our grassland.
Li Xiang used the system to check. These people all had a combat power of more than 20 people. They were indeed the strongest people on the grassland. The strongest one even had a combat power of 30 people. However, Li Xiang's subordinates were also growing after they were exchanged. The weakest one already had a combat power of 30 people, and the strongest one had a combat power of 35 people.
The most important thing is our weapons. Although they also have swords, guns, sticks and clubs, compared with our weapons, their weapons are simply useless. Just now, a tribal leader stood up and said that crossbows cannot be used in this kind of fight. Li Xiang also agreed. Even if we don’t use crossbows, do you think we have a chance just using the knife in my hand?
"The match begins, and we stop when the time is right. We try not to hurt the other party's life."
The civilian officer in the army struck a gong, and the game officially began. Twenty people began to fight in the open space.
Everyone thought that this was an extremely fierce fight, but less than a breath had passed since it started when cracking sounds were heard on the field. All the Turkic weapons were cut off. When these Turkic warriors were still surprised that their weapons were cut off, some part of their body was hit hard, and then the whole person flew into the sky.
When they landed, they found that they were already outside the circle. As I said just now, either you surrender automatically or you are knocked out of the circle, then you will be judged as the loser. Eight people from the Turkic side were directly knocked out. The two strongest people were left. They adjusted their direction in the sky and landed inside the circle. But when they stood up, they found that the Tang people were already looking at them five to one.
Although the remaining two people were strong, they were facing an opponent that was five times their size, and the opponent was not weak either. So after a few moves, these people were thrown out of the circle and suffered serious injuries.
The Turkic leaders were completely shocked. The ten Turkic men who had just entered the arena could be said to be the strongest among the Turkic people. When the tribes met, they were always victorious in such competitions. But today, only two breaths had passed and all ten of them had been defeated. This kind of mental blow was something that others could not understand. Many Turkic people felt as if the sky was falling.
Li Xiang was very satisfied with the situation at this moment, especially the expressions on the faces of these Turkic tribal leaders. They wanted to reap a victory. There was no way to intimidate Li Xiang on the battlefield. They hoped to use this kind of regulated game to make Li Xiang suffer. This would be their last struggle. Unexpectedly, even the last struggle was not allowed.
Li Xiang looked down at the tribal leaders from above. They all looked at each other, their mouths open, not knowing what to say. The difference in strength was too great, and there was no point in competing. Led by several tribal leaders, they all walked to the middle aisle and knelt before Li Xiang...
