"Zuo Khan!" Jieli sat up straight, his face shocked, and then he realized that he was no longer in the carriage, but in a rather richly decorated room. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The carbon basin in the house was burning brightly, but Jieli felt cold hands and feet, sweat on his back, and his clothes were completely wet.

"Khan, are you awake?" a deep voice came, although the voice was hoarse, but it could not hide the surprise and excitement in it.

Jie shook his somewhat drowsy head with his strength, turned around to look, and saw a face with a dark complexion, even the vicissitudes of life, Jie Li was slightly stunned, and it took a long time to tell that this person was the former leader of the Huyan tribe, and almost killed the famous grassland general Ashina Simo, but I don't know why he suddenly became so old, and his eyes were full of bloodshots.

"Ashina Simo, where is this? Ahem!" Jie Li opened his mouth only to find that his voice was hoarse and his body was weak.

"Back to the Great Khan, this is Yanmen Pass, the Sui army has not chased after you, you can cultivate with peace of mind!" Ashina Simo calmed down, and then replied. "Why don't you see Zuo Khan?

Hearing Jieli's question, the joy and excitement on Ashina Simo's face suddenly subsided a lot, covered with bloodshots, and his tired eyes revealed a deep sense of sadness. Facing Jieli's inquiring gaze, Ashina Simo couldn't help but hang his head, silent, seeing Ashina Simo like this, Jieli's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition hit his heart, making his already disordered breathing more and more rapid.

Licking his dry lips, Jieli took a deep breath, looked at Ashina Simo calmly and asked, "Ashina Simo, what happened, you tell the truth, Ben Khan is prepared." Ashina Simo slowly raised his head, and his heart couldn't help twitching violently at Shangjie Li's somewhat dim and anxious gaze. However, after five or six days of hard work, Jieli became so haggard, his face was sallow, his eye sockets were deep, and even the long beard that he usually took care of became dull, like a weed.

"Say, what's going on?" Jieli was in a hurry, and couldn't help coughing violently, and it took a long time to calm down, his face was sickly red, but his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

Pursing his lips and hesitating for a long time, Ashina Simo finally made up his mind, so he looked at Jieli seriously and said: "Great Khan, Wechen will tell you everything that happened in the past two days, but you must not be in a hurry to get angry and hurt your body, otherwise Wechen will be responsible even if he dies!"

"You say!" Jieli let out a long breath of turbid air and nodded slightly.

After all, he has been through the storm for a long time, and he has excellent control over his emotions, and after a short period of panic, he has calmed down at this time, Ashina Simo did not speak immediately, but brushed his thoughts, and then said in the most tactful tone possible: "Great Khan, two days ago, the left and right khans encountered the Sui army led by the Sui lord, a tragic battle, our army was defeated, scattered and retreated, and the left and right khans were nowhere to be found, life and death are unknown. ”

"What?" Although he had a premonition, but when he heard the news with his own ears, Jieli was still very shocked in his heart, his mouth opened slightly, and his face was incredulous. Seeing Jieli like this, Ashina Simo couldn't help but worry even more, and hurriedly said softly: "Great Khan, in the past two days, Weichen has sent many people to Tongzhou in disguise to find the whereabouts of the two Great Khans, but there is no news of their lives and deaths, which proves that they are still alive. Having said that, but Ashina Simo knew in his heart that the chances of survival of Tuoba Totar and Tuli were very slim, more than 35,000 Turkic troops participated in the battle that night, but now there are very few who have returned to Yanmen Pass, according to them, Tuoba Tol was killed on the spot by Lin Nan in the chaos of the army, and Tuli was captured alive by a Sui general named Gao Dechang, in order to prevent these bad news from shaking the morale of the army, Ashina Simo had to tightly control these surviving defeated troops.

In the past two days, Ashina Simo has sent hundreds of people, divided into dozens of groups, to Tongzhou to inquire about the news, but there has been no news of Tuoba Totar and Tuli, and that battlefield has now been buried by ankle-length snow, and it is so difficult to find people from the vast snowfield? However, it is precisely because of the heavy snow for a day and night that Lin Nan did not lead his troops to Yanmen Pass.

Seeing that Jieli's eyes were dull and his face was cloudy, Ashina Simo couldn't help but say worriedly: "Great Khan, don't worry, the two Great Khans have their own natural appearance, and they will definitely be safe, and Weichen will definitely send more people to find them, and you can recuperate with peace of mind." ”

Jieli's eyes rolled, and he finally came to his senses, but his once majestic eyes were now full of deplorable remorse, his lips trembled slightly, and he said abruptly: "It was Ben Khan who dragged them down, and it was Ben Khan's command mistakes that made hundreds of thousands of Turkic warriors die in other places and become lonely ghosts, and Ben Khan is sorry for them!"

"Great Khan ......" Ashina Simo snorted lightly, and said seriously: "Great Khan, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and the death of soldiers on the battlefield is their best destination, you are eloquent and strategic, and benevolence is unparalleled, we are willing to go to the soup for you, even if you die, you will feel glorious, loyal to the Great Khan, and sacrifice your life for the Turks is our glorious mission, you must not blame yourself for this." ”

Jieli showed a miserable smile on his face, shook his head slightly, and said: "As the lord of the Great Turks, Ben Khan brought them to this foreign land, but he couldn't bring them back to the country safely, what face does Ben Khan have to face his hometown fathers and elders, and face their parents, wives and children who they are looking forward to?"

"If it weren't for Ben Khan, Yan Tuoba and Tuoba Totar, how could they have suffered this calamity, life and death forever? Everything is Ben Khan's fault, it's all Ben Khan's fault!" Jie Li became more and more excited, and his face became more and more red, which was due to the lack of breath.

"Poof" Finally, because he was too emotional, Jieli spurted out a mouthful ......of blood, his face became extremely pale in an instant, and his already weak breath became more and more severe, and his breath was dying, and it seemed that he might die at any time.

"Great Khan, what's wrong with you?" Ashina Simo was shocked when he saw Jieli spitting blood from his mouth, and while holding Jieli's collapsed body with concern, he shouted loudly: "Medical officer, medical officer, quick medical officer......"

"Ben Khan's fault, Ben Khan's fault ......" Jie Li was so soft that he was in Ashina Sima's arms, looking at the roof with blank eyes, and muttering to himself.

The army of 300,000 is now only a quarter left, especially the generals who have always relied on have suffered heavy losses, which makes Jieli difficult to accept for a while.

The sound of hurried and noisy footsteps sounded, and the medical officer quickly rushed into the door, and when he saw Jieli's angry appearance, the medical officer looked shocked, and he didn't care about saluting Ashina Sima, so he hurriedly took out the golden needle he carried with him, and quickly rescued Jieli.

Jieli still didn't realize it, and his mouth was still babbling, but his voice was much quieter, and finally he closed his eyes and fainted.

Ashina Simo stared at Jieli tightly from beginning to end, and when he saw this situation, he was so frightened that he wanted to shout, but the medical officer who had completed the diagnosis stopped him in time and said: "Lord Ashnasimo, the Great Khan has no worries about his life for the time being, but it is not appropriate to disturb at this time. ”

"Huh......" Ashina Simo let out a long breath, and his hanging heart relaxed, but the clothes behind him were completely soaked with sweat, and he breathed a sigh of relief, while assisting the medical officer to cover the quilt for Jieli, Ashina Simo asked anxiously: "Medical officer, how is the situation of the Great Khan?" The medical officer looked at Jieli in a comatose manner, his brows furrowed tightly, and he sighed for a long time, his eyes were full of worry.

Ashina Simo's heart sank, and he said with some hesitation: "Medical officer, the injury of the Great Khan ......" Because he was too nervous, Ashina Simo's voice was a little trembling, his mouth was dry, but the palms of his hands were sweaty.

The medical officer sighed again, looked at Ashina Simo with a heavy face, and said: "Lord Ashina Simo, the Great Khan was already seriously ill, and now he has been stimulated again, his anger is attacking, and the evil qi has taken the opportunity to invade his body, the situation is very serious, and the power of the medicine stone is afraid to be ......" Speaking of this, he stopped talking, but the meaning expressed by Ashina Simo was very clear.

"What are you talking about? Why are you talking so nonsense, you quack? The Great Khan is just an occasional cold, and you can rest for a few days to be fine, where is it like you say?" The medical officer's voice fell, Ashina Simo suddenly changed color, and his thin big hand reached out, grabbed the placket of the former's clothes fiercely, and dragged him to a stumbling side, and even his breathing was greatly affected.

Ashina Simo stared at the medical officer viciously, and the surging murderous aura on his body pressed out, and said sharply: "Say, who are you here for?" "Ahem! Master Ashina Simo, the lower official has no intention of murdering the Great Khan, the lower official is wronged, you let go, cough cough!" The medical officer looked terrified, and his whole body trembled violently.

"Quimp!" Ashina Simo snorted angrily, and suddenly let go of his palm, but the killing intent in his eyes continued unabated, "You listen to this official, if there is any mistake in the Great Khan, you can bring it up yourself!" The medical officer was clever, he wanted to refute it, but he didn't have the courage, he could only suppress the grievances, anger, and fear in his heart, and he only promised, looking at Ashina Simo tremblingly, and tears almost flowed from his eyes.

As the special doctor of the Turkic Khan, although he enjoys a lot of money, the risks he bears are also huge, and if he is not careful, he will have to worry about his life, and even his parents, wife and children may be implicated.

"Regarding the condition of the Great Khan, this official does not want a third person to know, otherwise," after a pause, a cold light flashed in Ashina Simo's eyes, "You know the consequences!" The medical officer trembled, nodded in silence, and did not dare to speak out, and after threatening the medical officer sternly, Ashina Simo's eyes suddenly looked around.

"Lord Ashina Simo, the villains are willing to make a poisonous oath and never dare to divulge a secret. ”

"The general spares his life, spares his life!" but the two guards who were in charge of guarding Jieli saw Ashina Simo's murderous eyes sweeping, and they all knelt on the ground, with a look of panic on their faces, and cried sadly.

Ashnasimo took a few steps closer, his expression soothed a little, and asked lightly, "Can you really keep a secret?"

"Really, if the villain talks nonsense, he is willing to suffer from ten thousand arrows piercing his heart!" Seeing Ashina Simo's face softened, the guards seemed to see the dawn and said busily.

"Okay, since that's the case, this official will promise you!" Ashina Simo said with a smile, and the guards immediately kowtowed excitedly when they heard this: "Thank you for the general's kindness, thank you for the general's kindness!"

"Get up!" everyone thanked again and again before slowly standing up from the ground, with a smile on their faces that would last their lives.

However, at the moment when they relaxed, Ashina Simo shot out like lightning and grabbed the two long swords, the cold sword flashed continuously, and the eyes of the two guards widened, their eyes were full of astonishment and despair, and they couldn't believe that Ashina Simo had reversed himself and was so ruthless. "Only the dead can keep secrets forever. Ashina Simo looked at them with some guilt, and said in a low voice: "Go with peace of mind, your family and officials will definitely treat them well." ”

……

"See Master Ashina Simo!" Leaving Jieli's room, Ashina Simo didn't care about resting, so he dragged his tired body to patrol the city defense of Yanmen Pass.

Although a heavy snow won a respite for the Turkic army, Ashina Simo did not dare to slack off, along the way, the Turkic soldiers saluted him one after another, although everyone was still serious, sticking to their posts silently, but Ashnasimo could feel the faint depression and panic in their hearts.

After all, the 150,000-strong army marched into Xiaoguan, and now only more than 5,000 people have returned, even fools know that the Turkic army must have suffered defeat on the front line, and suffered heavy losses.

"I've seen Master Ashina Simo!" Ashina Simo had just climbed the north tower of Yanmen Pass, and a man with a long body and a handsome face, about forty years old, greeted him.

Although this person's body is a little thin and looks a little weak, a heavy chain mail makes him add a bit of a solemn atmosphere, especially the wise and decisive gaze in his eyes, which people dare not underestimate.

"General Dord, please get up. Ashina Simo hurriedly returned the salute.

This person's name is Duoduo, originally a Mongol, and later surrendered to the Turks, after Jieli conquered Tongzhou, when he led the army all the way north, he deliberately left him to guard Yanmen Pass, responsible for coordinating the overall situation, and ensuring logistics and supplies.

Duoduo got up, waved his hand to let the nearby soldiers withdraw more than ten steps away, and then approached Ashina Simo a few steps, his face was solemn, and he asked in a low voice: "My lord, how is the emperor's situation now?" Ashina Simo's eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes were like electricity, and he looked at Duoduo tightly, and when he saw that the latter's eyes were full of worry, he had no slightest, and then he spoke: "The emperor has woken up, although his body is still weak, but he is much better, I believe that he will be cured in a few days." After a pause, Ashina Simo sighed and said, "Actually, the emperor is mainly sick of the heart!" Duoduo raised his eyebrows inadvertently, although from Ashinasimo's heavy and tired face, things did not seem to be as he said, but Duoduo wisely did not ask any further. Jieli's illness has already affected the morale of the army, and if the situation is even worse, Duoduo doesn't know what chaos will happen at Yanmen Pass.

"Yes, I hope the emperor recovers soon. Duoduo sighed, then frowned, and said with some concern: "My lord, two days have passed, and there is still no news from the left and right sweats. Ashina Simo was shocked, the wrinkles on his face deepened, his bloodshot eyes were full of thick and indissolvable sorrow, and his originally straight backbone became more and more stiff, quite a bit of an old sigh.
